Chapter two hundred and eighty fifth, prodigal things
"This is really a loser." Luo Ji reached out and knocked on the bronze armor plate. His face was filled with emotion. I have to say that this loser really can withstand beatings. When pushed onto the battlefield, as a cold-blooded vehicle,
Luo Ji did not deny that the armored vehicle in the age of weapons was a powerful siege weapon. However, if the same siege tower was not equipped with so many bronze armor plates, he could build ten siege towers in one go and still have the same effect.
.
These two siege towers are basically made of bronze. They have a bit of a grandeur, and to put it more bluntly, they are full of pretentiousness and showoff. As for the price/performance ratio, they are really not that much. After all, there is so much bronze.
How many weapons and armors were forged, and how many soldiers were armed?
But if it could be repaired, he wouldn't mind making good use of it. With this thought in mind, Luo Ji casually asked, "Have you tried moving the wheels of another siege tower here?"
"I've tried it." As the general who defended the city, Zhao Pan was probably the one who could best feel the threat of this siege tower, so after capturing the siege tower, he naturally thought about it.
He went to repair it, but the result was disappointing. After the wheels of another siege tower were installed, this siege tower was basically unable to move and could not be used normally.
Luo Ji, who learned about the situation from Zhao Pan, took two steps closer, took a closer look, and quickly discovered the problem. The joint of the wheel was probably missing two parts, one was the bearing, and the other was missing.
One is the thing that fixes the wheels. Only after the wheels are fixed, can you drag the entire siege tower forward together. However, the fixed part is destroyed when the opponent destroys the wheels.
Already.
Looking at this situation, if you want to make this siege tower move, not only the wheels, but also the several rows of axles at the bottom, and even the entire chassis must be remade.
Those layers of bronze armor plates are just a waste of money. The technology and focus are all on this chassis. It really can't be repaired by taking off the wheels.
"In short, drag these two piles of things back to Mirror City and send them to the Ordnance Research Department. If they are too big to drag, just remove the layers of bronze armor plates on them. There is no technical content anyway.
." When this prodigal thing fell into his hands, there was definitely no possibility of it being snatched back by Zhou Dongnan. He first threw it to Ye Xuan to study slowly. If he couldn't repair it, he directly melted these two piles of bronze. That was all
Resources.
In this way, things on Songhe City's side can be said to have come to an end for the time being. At the same time, on the other side, Guo Jia and the others are also proceeding quite smoothly.
During this period of time, Wang Tong, the general who defended Songshan City, lived a comfortable life. After Jiang Wei left, he obviously felt that he had no worries, and he completely relaxed, giving Guo Jia and the others full support.
An opportunity to take advantage of.
At dawn, a wave of raids that saw the opportunity allowed them to easily capture the top of the Songshan City wall. Then as soon as the city gate opened, the city with not many garrison troops was instantly reduced to a lamb to be slaughtered, leading the infantry troops all the way.
Guo Zhen, who rushed in, finally got his wish and chopped off Wang Tong's head with an axe, avenging his dead brother with his own hands. At this point, the entire iron triangle in the eastern part of Zhou Southeast's territory completely fell into Luo Ji's hands.
.
After that, the entire all-out war seemed to have entered a short intermission. The mobilization of troops, casualties of soldiers, consumption and damage of ordnance and equipment all took a lot of time to adjust and deal with.
However, with Zhao Pan helping him share the work, Luo Ji was not particularly busy during this period. He even had time to pay attention to the construction of the walls of Giant Wood City and White River City behind him. According to the current situation, unless he killed himself,
Otherwise, Southeast would have had no chance to threaten his city that week. The tactical policy formulated from the beginning could be said to have gone extremely smoothly.
In this way, in order to prevent himself from accidentally getting into trouble, he must take a deep breath at the critical moment. Car after cart of grain, grass and ordnance were constantly being transported from the rear. Luo took a deep breath.
The editor is not in a hurry at this time. After all, the mechanisms of total war and invasion war are completely different. For some high-level players, it is not uncommon for a total war to last for several years, or even longer.
Therefore, considering this time span issue, the two sides that go to war will only be able to obtain the authority to recruit foreign aid in the third month, and now the time has only passed less than half a month.
Time passed day by day, and the report of the failed siege of Shangyuan City's three thousand siege troops was sent to Zhou Southeast in the Great Zhou Royal City by the messengers on the second day after the end of the siege.
Zhou Southeast, who was having a meal at the time, overturned a table of food on the spot after learning the news. Three thousand troops failed to attack the city. One of the two siege towers was destroyed and the other was captured by the enemy.
There is also Weiyuan General Jiang Wei whose whereabouts are unknown. At this time, Zhou Southeast only felt that he had been stabbed three times. If he hadn't been recuperating for a while, his body had recovered a lot. Based on this battle report, it is estimated that he had been stabbed three times.
It can make him faint on the spot!
However, this was not over yet. Two days later, the news of the fall of Songshan City was completely confirmed. There was no need to confirm it. Songshan City had fallen. Is it possible for Jiang Wei who had retreated to survive? Either he would be captured or he would die.
Well, Zhou Southeast felt that it was the latter. The reason was very simple. He and Luo Ji had already developed a great feud, and it was absolutely impossible for the other party to let go of his generals.
"Have the reinforcements from the rear not arrived yet?!" The huge pressure undoubtedly made Zhou Southeast almost lose his composure. His 'Great Zhou' obviously couldn't only have the eastern border. With the Great Zhou King City as the center, there would undoubtedly be towers in all directions.
There are cities, among which the troops from the north and the south have obviously been concentrated in Shangyuan City, but the city in the west will take some time to mobilize due to location and distance issues.
Moreover, even if the forces in the west are assembled, according to the remaining forces in his hands, this all-out war is still a "hang" for Zhou Southeast.
When a war reached this point, it would be false to say that he was not panicked at all. At this moment, Zhou Southeast clearly realized that he had to do something, otherwise he would definitely lose this war.
"Conscription! Send the order to recruit troops from all over the country!"
"But Your Majesty, you just recruited two thousand troops some time ago. Now I'm afraid..."
"If you can't conquer it, then force it! Shangyuan City is our last line of defense to the east of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Once it falls, the man named Luo can directly attack all the way to the outside of the royal city, and then everything will be over!!"
