Chapter 50: Heroes serve the country as if they are easy (2)

He watched the Black Army soldiers cross the moat regardless of their lives, running towards the city wall, pushing open the gate of the city tower, and shouting loudly: "The enemy is forcing the city to roll the woods and stones!"

In a blink of an eye, some armored first-row warriors rushed to the corner of the wall. Without a ladder, they even set up human ladders in front of such a tall city wall, hoping to climb to the top of Xiangyang in such a clumsy but often effective way. But they were immediately greeted by a burst of rolling wood and stones that struck the head.

Rolling wood is made of hard and heavy wood, and there are two specifications. Small cubes about two feet long can be thrown by one person, while ordinary cubes about four feet long require two people to lift and release them. However, Zheng Yunming and all the generals agreed that in addition to saving the soldiers guarding the city, the killing effect of small cubes is not as direct as ordinary cubes. Therefore, the main hoarding of ordinary cubes is ordinary cubes. This four-foot big wood falls from the sky, and as long as it is hit by it, it will be either dead or injured. The effect of large stones weighing dozens of kilograms pushed down from the top of the city is the same. When facing the enemy who attempts to climb under the city, the killing effect of rolling wood and cubes is always the most direct damage caused by rolling wood and cubes.

Of course, gray bottle cannons are indispensable for throwing together with rolling wood and stone. Lime bottles will make the enemy siege unable to open their eyes, and the flames and poisonous smoke ignited by the fire caltrops and ten thousand enemies can also greatly disrupt the enemy's offensive. These things are much more flexible than rolling wood and stone. If it weren't for the difficulty of manufacturing, the generals and soldiers guarding the city would be willing to use lime bottles and fire caltrops to replace the bulky wood and stones.

But the iron cannon that was hung down with ropes was the iron cannon that was hung down with ropes. Since the charge of the iron cannon was replaced with Zheng's exquisite gunpowder, the power of the iron cannon has increased by more than ten times, and the iron shell of the cast cannon became thicker. The early iron cannon was also mixed with iron slag and lead. When the soldiers of the Tulong Army hung a lit iron cannon to the dense area of ​​the enemy with ropes, the huge explosion immediately caused the flesh and blood to fly under the city, and the broken arms and calves were lifted up. The people who were intensively preparing to climb the city immediately lost their combat power. The soldiers of the Black Army immediately learned to be good, and saw black iron lumps hanging down on the top of the city, and immediately ran away in scattering.

Later, the Song army soldiers who simply defended the city no longer used ropes to hang the cannons, but directly quickly hung the iron cannons into the air and cut the rope to let it roll down by itself. The thickened iron shell can ensure that the iron cannons will not crack in half after they land. This rapid throwing method makes the black soldiers under the city unable to defend against, causing considerable damage.

But the Black Army, which was already facing the failure to break through the last city wall, was obviously unwilling to fail. While they pushed their shields on their heads, they tried to reduce some casualties, and began to try to climb the city with rope hooks. Rope hooks are also common tactics of climbing in the Central Plains, but obviously this tactic can only be used for sneak attacks. When the Black Army's iron hook hooked the scepter and climbed halfway, the Song army cut off the rope with a big axe. As a result, most of the Black Army soldiers who used rope hooks to climb the city were knotted by falling half dead. Chapter 50 Heroes serve the country like a casualty (2)

Bureau.

Just when the Black Army used all kinds of primitive methods and could not move forward, the soldiers behind them finally transported the ladder to the other side of the moat after many difficulties. This was the first wave of city-climbing offensive launched against Xiangyang City. Seventeen huge ladders were erected high under the crowd of soldiers, and were filled with soldiers who were fully focused on climbing the city. At this moment, only the ladders were the means by which the Mongols could truly threaten the city of Xiangyang. The ladders were approaching the city of Xiangyang, and a fierce battle was inevitable.

But the cloud ladder is still the least guarded of all siege equipment. When the Black Army's cloud ladder was about to be admitted to the tall siege of Xiangyang City, the Song army used dozens of long forks to wield six or seven cloud ladders in the air. They stood at a high place, and only a few people could make a group of people under the city use the cloud ladder to lean on the city wall in vain. While the two sides were fighting, the rest of the city guards took the opportunity to throw wooden, cannons and iron cannons at the enemy gathered under the city, while the Black Army soldiers could only push the cloud ladder to the city with all kinds of city guard weapons. At this time, they could rely on The only covers the archers behind him and the stone-treating cannons further away. But unfortunately, this is not the most elite gunners in the Mongolian army. In order to supervise the ships that the gunners from Qingzhou were marshal Zhang Zhongren, who was born in Qingzhou, still stranded most of the main forces in Dengzhou. As Qu leaves, they only had a forward. These forward gunners have little practical experience, but in fact, even the most elite gunners under Zhang Zhongren could not control the bulky nine-sing eleven-slightly large trenchers to accurately concentrate the snares to kill the defenders on the city wall. This is an impossible task.

The tormented black soldiers under the city watched helplessly as the friendly trenchers threw flying stones across the city wall and fell into the city, or directly into the moat. There was also a poor technical and fixed-lethal distance estimate, and directly threw the flying stones into the black soldiers under the city and broke the bones and tendons of their friendly troops. As the black soldiers cursed, the ladders that were long forked could no longer support it and began to fall down incline, and the soldiers on the ladders fell under the city.

But apart from these six or seven ladders, the other ladders were finally saved. The soldiers who climbed the city waved their gang cards to cover their bodies, and climbed hard, attacking and killing towards the city. The soldiers who climbed first were all wearing heavy armor and waved their blunt weapons to open a foothold at the place where the ladder was placed on the city. Conversely, the swordsmen and short soldiers of the Jingchu army who were already ready immediately rushed forward and tried to drive the enemy down from the city with fierce close combat.

Compared with last year, Liu Zheng was no longer a big and small, and he could have been at ease with the commanding position in the back, without having to take risks. But standing behind to command was a problem that both his subordinates and himself felt awkward. Liu Zheng, who was trusted by the generals and supported by the soldiers, was the one who rushed to the front of the team with a black head and holding a big knife.

Liu's first five steps to be a burly figure. The 50th chapter of the hero serving the country is like a casual one (2)
