Luo Ji's words obviously shocked Zhou Yi, and he sent him back. Did he really think that the two thousand troops and siege equipment in Yuancheng were all made of paper? And what confused him the most was,

After hearing this, Zhao Pan had no reaction at all. He was neither proud nor nervous, and just stood there with a calm expression.

However, how could Zhou Yi, a newcomer, know that according to Zhao Pan's thinking model, since Luo Ji said that he could push the enemy back, there was a high probability that he would not be wrong. If he failed to do it in the end, he must be directing the battle.

Whatever went wrong when he did it was his own mistake.

"You lead the troops here. Is there any problem in Iron Wall City?" Luo Ji asked casually as he led Zhao Pan to the general's mansion.

"Clan leader, please rest assured. Now Liu Tao and Zhang Lue can be regarded as independent generals. In addition, they are familiar with the military affairs of Iron Wall City. Even if the general is away, they can handle it, let alone

Liu Zheng is in charge personally, so there won't be any problems."

"Since you said that, I'm relieved." Zhao Pan's words obviously made Luo Ji very relieved, because Zhao Pan's character has always been about saying one thing and two things, and he never makes a slap in the face.

If he pretends to be fat and says there is no problem, then nine times out of ten, it really means there is no problem.

By the way, it is worth mentioning that the Liu Tao and Zhang Lue mentioned by Zhao Pan were actually the two lieutenants Luo Ji found for him. Of course, when looking for lieutenants, Luo Ji did not just find them casually. The position of lieutenant general was

, after all, it also carries the word "general". Under normal circumstances, he is regarded as the second-in-command of an army, and he cannot be replaced by two mediocre people.

Moreover, as Zhao Pan's deputy general, it is equivalent to giving them an opportunity to learn from Zhao Pan. Of course, they cannot be careless! Therefore, these two people are both good generals. Liu Tao is a general with a single command limit of four stars.

Talents, and Zhang Lue is a wise general talent with a single intelligence limit of four stars. After training, they are all subordinate generals who are capable of leading troops alone. The two of them are responsible for the military affairs of Iron Wall City, plus Liu Zheng

With this veteran in charge, Iron Wall City will be stable...

"Let's talk about old times later. Let me tell you about the current situation first, as well as the deployment and allocation of troops on the opposite side." Luo Ji, who returned to the general's mansion and spread out a map on the table, got to the point quite directly.

,As a workaholic with a strong sense of responsibility, Zhao Pan certainly would not have any objections to this.

The whole situation is relatively simple to summarize now, and can be explained in just a few sentences. Therefore, Luo Ji focused on the opponent's siege troops, and the focus of the opponent's siege troops was undoubtedly the two siege towers.

Tower and ladder troops.

After all, Luo Ji's civilization does not have super-large siege equipment like siege towers, nor does it have ladder troops like that, because he doesn't need them for the time being.

The characteristic of siege equipment such as ladder troops and siege towers is to avoid head-on confrontation with the opposite city wall and directly achieve the purpose of occupation by climbing onto the opponent's wall.

As for Luo Ji, who has a three-bow crossbow, he can directly blow up the opposite city gate and then push all the way through. There is no need to use such a roundabout way to fight, not to mention the cost of the roundabout.

Not small, each siege tower must be as high as the city wall. Just imagine it, and you should know how much time, resources and manpower it takes to create such a large siege equipment.

At the same time, Luo Ji really didn't know the specific effects of these two siege towers, because he had never seen them with his own eyes, so he simply left the task of explaining them to Zhou Yi.

As a soldier of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Yi had obviously seen the power of siege towers, but now he said that they were quite decent, "Siege towers generally advance with the infantry troops, and their huge size allows these two siege towers to

The tower gang infantry unit attracted a lot of firepower, but in fact it was a trap..."

"Trap?" Zhao Pan cast a questioning look at Zhou Yi.

"Yes." Zhou Yi nodded, "On the siege tower, a large area is made of bronze. It is impossible for the archer's attack to penetrate that layer of bronze baffles and focus the fire attack.

City towers often fail in the end."

"I actually used bronze..." The distance was too far at that time, and the siege tower had been left behind and had not been pushed up. Even with the help of a telescope, I wanted to see the two siege towers in detail.

The material of the surface was also a bit difficult. Luo Ji was obviously surprised when he heard from Zhou Yi that the surface baffle of the siege tower was actually made of bronze.

This is basically an armored vehicle from the Bronze Age. It is worthy of being a veteran driver who has been developing in the Bronze rank for at least several decades. While consuming bronze to forge weapons and armor, he also managed to save two armored vehicles. No wonder

These two siege towers can be hidden by Zhou Southeast as a trump card.

After taking a breath, Zhou Yi continued, "When the siege tower is pushed in front of the city wall, the erected bronze baffle will be lowered, and the soldiers hiding inside can easily rush in.

It’s on top of the city wall.”

"What about the number of people? How many soldiers can be transported up a siege tower?" Zhao Pan, who was experienced in defending the city, saw the key here at a glance, and then asked aloud.

"The siege tower is divided into two floors, and each floor can hide forty to fifty people."

"There are nearly a hundred people on those two floors, and the two siege towers can transport about two hundred enemy troops to the city wall in one breath." As he spoke, Luo Ji's voice became slightly more solemn, and the city wall was suddenly filled with people.

Two hundred enemy troops came out, which gives me a headache just thinking about it.

"Deploy corresponding shield and ax soldiers on the city wall, and we should be able to cope with it." Zhao Pan spoke slowly, and his calm tone made it impossible to tell whether the other party was confident or uneasy at this time.

After Luo Ji, Zhou Yi felt that there was another person here that he could not figure out, but no matter what, he still had to remind him of all the things that should be reminded.

Then, I heard him speak again, "It's not that simple. There are three rows of ladders placed on the back of the siege tower. In other words, once the siege tower gets close to the city wall, the soldiers behind will continue to pass through those three rows of ladders."

Arrange a ladder to climb up the siege tower, and then climb the wall through the siege tower."

This time, it really gave the two of them a headache. Luo Ji's brows suddenly furrowed, "Can the bed crossbow penetrate the bronze baffle and destroy the siege tower?"

Other players must have done this kind of thing in previous sieges, and what Luo Ji needed was an answer!

"It depends on the distance. It is possible to leave obvious dents. Basically, the siege tower needs to be repaired after every use. As for directly punching through, my subordinates think it is unlikely because the bronze baffle is very thick.

.”

While speaking, Zhou Yi also made some gestures. This gesture made Luo Ji and Zhao Pan feel even more solemn. Zhou Southeast really spent a lot of money on these two siege towers! The bricks are so thick.

Thanks to him for installing the bronze baffles, the cost of these two siege towers was probably several times higher than Luo Ji had expected.
