Li Xingchen took out all the wealth of the big man.
As for building siege equipment on site, Li Xingchen didn't have the time or spare energy. The craftsmen accompanying the army were already exhausted just maintaining and testing the artillery, trebuchets, etc. If they were asked to build the equipment again, they would probably have to complain.
.
What's more, Li Xingchen relied on the waterway to be completely under the control of the Han Dynasty. It was not difficult to transfer the equipment sealed in the south to the north, so why bother with it?
I just know how to transport water quickly. What's going on? Are you going to bite me?
The entire outside of the south city wall has been covered by the Han army's large and small equipment and vehicles, and all the gaps have been filled with black heads. The Northern Zhou army on the top of the city may have been shaken for a while. How to fight such a battle?
The Han army's trench-filling trucks took the lead as always. The musketeers kept firing guns behind the trench-filling trucks to suppress the city. The trench-filling trucks dumped truckloads of sand directly into the moat. Soon the moat became
The moat turned into a faintly visible small ravine, and finally disappeared.
There is no way, there is no water in this moat.
Where does water come from, Luoshui.
The upper and lower reaches of the Luoshui River are now under the control of the Han army and have been blocked for a long time. Where can you get water?
Even in order to prevent heavy rainfall in summer and autumn in Luoshui River, the Han army built a diversion canal from outside Baigu City and led it to the depression on the west side. Anyway, it did not give you any possibility of water coming from the moat. But because we
With the construction of the diversion canal, the water in the moat flows outward faster.
Facing a moat that didn't even have water, if the Han army couldn't quickly fill it up, it would be really incompetent.
Facts have proved that this moat has no effect at all, and soon the various siege equipment of the Han army have been successfully advanced under the city wall.
The ramming car was aimed at the city wall with many potholes hit by the cannonballs and trebuchets. This kind of thing was not only used to hit the city gate. Facing the rammed earth city wall, the collision ability of the giant wood was also very deadly.
What's more, the top of the giant tree is wrapped with a thick layer of iron, which is enough to shake the foundation of the city wall.
As the giant trees impact again and again, you can see the soil on the city wall falling downwards with a hula hula, and the entire city wall seems to be shaking slightly.
Of course, the Northern Zhou army could not just watch the Han army collide like this. Although the Luoyang city wall was tall and spacious, it had been destroyed by artillery fire before. If the wood was hit like this, it would be entirely possible for the city wall to collapse directly.
Even if such a thick city wall collapses, it is impossible for it to completely collapse from top to bottom. However, once a small part of the city wall collapses even a little, it means that this section of the city wall is separated from another section of the city wall, and the soldiers on the city wall cannot
There is no way to support each other, and if both ends of a section of the city wall can collapse, especially the walls on both sides of the city gate, then the city gate will be cut off from the entire city wall defense system.
If the defenders want to reinforce the city gate or reinforce the surrounding turrets, enemy towers, etc. from the city gate, they can only go down to the city first and then go up the city via another upper city trail.
Of course, if the number of defenders in the city is large enough, it doesn't make much sense to do so. The defenders have sufficient reserves to support them at any time, but the huge size of Luoyang City has determined that Wang Qian's troops and horses want to reserve
It was almost impossible to bring out enough reserves, especially since the Han army also launched feint attacks in the east and west of the city at the same time. In order to build up momentum, they also deployed a lot of artillery to perform a pretend bombardment, which made the defenders on the city confused for a while.
Er couldn't figure out the direction of the Han army's attack at all.
Even if we know that your east and west sides are feint attacks, look at the number of guys you have deployed outside the east and west cities, from artillery to ladders and rams, etc. Who would have known that you are just simple guys, there are too many of them and there is no place to put them, so
Are you pulling it out to show off, or are you really planning to attack?
If there are no people on my wall, or only a thousand people, and the Han army really launches an attack, who can stop it?
What's more, in addition to the East and West City, there is Jinyong City in the northwest corner of Luoyang City, which is a place where troops cannot be garrisoned. It was originally a place for garrisoning troops. If the Han army is allowed to enter Jinyong City, it can be connected together.
The city wall directly attacks the people in the city.
It can be said that the long Luoyang city wall and the defenders were not very high-spirited in the first place. It was destined that the Northern Zhou army could only guard a section of the city wall very rigidly. The connection and mutual rescue between the various city walls were naturally impossible to talk about. At most,
In other words, when Yuchi Jiong or Wang Qian realizes that something is not going well, they can lead their own bodyguards to form a reserve team to support the situation in person. Whether they can block it or not depends on fate.
Therefore, rushing cars poses a great threat to the entire city defense.
Yuchi Jiong quickly issued an order to destroy the charging chariot. The kerosene used to light the fire on the city had just been ignited by the Han army's explosive bombs and fireballs. At this time, the fire was barely extinguished, so the Northern Zhou army could only use the simplest
Use wood and rolling stones to find a way to destroy the ram car, or shoot arrows desperately to suppress the enemy.
But the Han army was not stupid. During the period of charging with the chariots, their own people could not go to the city anyway, so the shield chariots that had been prepared before stood on the left and right like two guardians, and the enemy's arrows were fired.
He came over and stabbed the huge shield like a hedgehog, but there was nothing he could do. He could only watch through the gap between the two shield vehicles as they calmly hit the city wall again and again.
As for those wooden rolling stones, they will fall directly on the top of the rush car. There are sheds on the top of the rushing car to protect against arrows, and these sheds are also shaped like ridges with pointed tops, so the rolling wooden rocks will naturally fall on them.
It slid down like rain falling on the eaves. As for the people on both sides of the car, people were standing in the shed. The outside of the shed had already become a restricted area. Who would go there except those who wanted to die?
Several torches fell from the sky. It was obvious that the defenders' eyes were red with fear. They didn't have any kerosene, so they had to find a way to light this big guy like you.
But is it useful?
not at all.
The flame flickered twice and then went out.
How could such a precious big thing not be treated with fireproofing? The surface has already been covered with fireproofing mud and soaked with water.
In terms of fire prevention treatment, most of the Han army craftsmen who were shipbuilders were very familiar with it. As long as it is a larger ship, which one does not have fire prevention treatment? Otherwise, are you really planning to go to Red Cliff again?
So in the end, the defenders could only watch as the city wall shook violently.
The collapse was nothing more than a blink of an eye.
What's more, although the threat of rushing vehicles to the city wall is fatal, it is only slow. Ladder trucks are more timely and fatal.
