"Quick, quick, quick, put the screws on, speed up the splicing here!"
The ladders began to be spliced together one by one and firmly fixed with screws. During the performance in front, a hundred steel siege ladders more than ten meters high had been spliced together.
Wang Xuan had already asked craftsmen to design siege equipment and other things, abandoning the original method of cutting down wood and building it immediately after arriving at the local area. The wooden siege ladder was heavy and easy to be destroyed by fire. This kind of siege ladder assembled from triangle iron was light and lightweight.
, sturdy, easy to carry, simply too convenient.
As for larger siege equipment, Zhao Yun felt there was no need to bring them out.
"Dong dong dong..."
The rumble of war drums sounded from all sides at the same time.
Each person is holding a huge rectangular iron plate in his hand, with four iron hooks firmly welded on the front corners. Each person is in a group of five. The iron plate is firmly hooked on the siege ladder, and they are holding a siege ladder of more than ten meters.
Ladder, stepping on the dense drum beat and rushing forward quickly.
This series of designs are prepared to prevent the opponent's bow and arrow attack during siege, ensuring that the siege ladder reaches the designated location absolutely safely.
In fact, the morale at the top of the city had dropped to freezing point. However, under the coercion of the defenders, generals and soldiers, powerless sporadic arrows were fired at the team transporting the siege ladder, but they fell powerlessly on the iron plate.
There was a clanging sound above.
Rushing to the bottom of the city, the iron plate was unloaded and detached, and the siege ladder more than ten meters long was put up directly. The two people at the end clicked open the tripod bracket at the end, and the siege ladder was stuck firmly and motionless.
.
From the beginning of the charge to the erection of the siege ladder, the distance of about 300 meters only takes one minute. Such efficiency relies on thousands of repeated trainings.
The five hundred men completed their mission and quickly retreated. A thousand soldiers with large curved shields began to charge at a constant speed. Looking at the bright steel shield reflecting the sunlight, the garrison generals had no intention of continuing to let people shoot arrows. In addition to listening to
There was no way that the sound would have any effect. Not to mention the soldiers guarding the city, even he himself had no intention of continuing.
He secretly signaled to the soldiers and quietly began to withdraw towards the stairs of the lower city.
From the beginning of the charge to the bottom of the city, the standard tactical time is one minute. The fifteen-meter siege ladder is just a matter of running up. The standard tactical time is 20 seconds. In other words, it only takes 80 seconds to rush up.
The soldiers at the front should climb to the top of the city!
Of course, in actual operation, it is definitely not that easy. Rolling logs, rocks, boiling water, kerosene, and boiled water and other weapons serve as obstacles. It is not that easy to rush up smoothly, but that is if the opponent resists desperately.
It’s time for determination, not this situation now!
There was no resistance. As soon as the eighty-second tactical standard time was up, the fastest group of people jumped onto the city with big shields. One after another, more people lined up and rushed up.
Here Liu Bei's army jumped onto the top of the city, and the defenders simply dropped their weapons and knelt straight on the ground with their hands raised in the air, a very standard surrender gesture.
Looking at this kind of siege battle, which was easier than usual actual combat exercises, Zhao Yun kept shaking his head and smiling bitterly. It was a waste of all the arrangements he had made. He asked Ding Feng Lingcao and others to use the banner of the general to confuse the enemy and prepare for a surprise attack.
It turns out that Kaiyang City is too useless!
"This is no wonder, General." Xi Zhicai burst out laughing after seeing it, "I can only say that the kind of ideological warfare that Zai Zhi engaged in is so unconventional that anyone who is unprepared can really do it.
There’s nothing we can do!”
Zhao Yun nodded in agreement, "Zai Zhi is right. Sure enough, an army without culture is a stupid army, and an army without faith cannot be an army at all."
"Yes, ideological and political education is too important. Otherwise, who can withstand this situation?" Xi Zhicai also sighed. If his opponents are defeated so easily, then...their advisers are really useful.
I can’t even keep up with some instructors.
"No." Zhao Yun had a different view. In terms of background, he was not as good as Xi Zhicai, and he knew the lower-level soldiers better. "The treatment in the military is equally important."
"In our Han Dynasty, there is no such thing as military pay. However, our army is the first in history to have a complete military pay system and a complete pension system, especially after the 'Qingzhou people are very good people', which has given soldiers the ability to support their families.
, so that the soldiers have no worries, this is the basis for everything else."
"On this basis, sufficient publicity, improving the social status of the soldiers, and gaining recognition from the whole society are the prerequisites for stimulating the collective sense of honor among the soldiers. As for reading and literacy, patriotic education is all about stimulating this sense of honor.
To the greatest extent possible.”
"Now, it is the soldiers who spontaneously want to fight desperately. This is the fundamental difference between our army and the armies of other princes and the guarantee of invincibility!"
Zhao Yun's long speech not only attracted the attention of Xi Zhicai, but also Huang Zhong, Tai Shi Ci, Zhang Xiu and others looked at Zhao Yun as if they were meeting him for the first time. He followed this routine and dug their brains out.
I don't know how to describe it, so I can only express my shock by saying "f*ck".
"Hahaha!" Zhao Yun stretched out his hand to scratch his head in embarrassment, but clasped it on his helmet, "Don't look at me like that, I learned this from Zai Zhi, who also wrote a book called "On How"
"Building an Army for a New Era", it's just that I haven't finished writing it yet, I read some in advance."
"Oh!" (long sound)
Everyone suddenly realized that they thought Zhao Yun had suddenly become a military strategist.
However, we agreed that we would all become mindless generals together, but you are secretly studying. It’s so despicable!
A group of people were chatting and saw the Kaiyang City Gate open. A few people said hello and walked inside.
As soon as they entered the city gate, they saw a group of gorgeously dressed people standing in the middle of the road. When they saw Zhao Yun and others coming in, they immediately wanted to come over to greet them, but the nobles stopped them outside with their swords drawn. They were so frightened that they quickly backed away.
While retreating, he shouted: "I am the county guard of this city. I am blind and ignorant. I actually try to resist the heavenly soldiers. I deserve death!"
"I am the head of the XX family. I welcome the heavenly soldiers to the city. I request to see you. We are also being coerced. We hope that the general will see clearly."
Looking at the chaotic group of people, Zhao Yun could clearly feel the suppressed fear in their hearts beneath their calm faces. If other princes invaded the city, they could still hide at home and wait for the follow-up results. After all, no matter who wanted to
Ruling this land depends on local families like them.
But there have been obvious changes on Liu Bei's side. At least in the entire Qingzhou, except for some aristocratic families who defected to the past, most of the officials were trained by themselves. As a result, these people not only lost their role, but also became obstacles.
.
And how do these aristocratic families deal with obstacles?
