Chapter 275: Siege wall

Regarding the fact that Jingzhou ’s own industry has been looted by others, Liu Yi, who is thousands of miles away, is naturally impossible to know. Although the siege failed, although it is a bit sad, it is also expected. After all, things in this world are very serious. It is normal to sum up experience in failure and then succeed in difficult things.
Although there are many people here on Liu Bei's side, in the eyes of attention, the generals who can see the eye are now Guan Ping and Yang Ren.
Guan Ping is now marching outside, not following Liu Bei all the way, but taking a partial division to attack the surrounding cities that are within reach, quite busy, but for Guan Ping, this should be considered a good thing.
As for Liu Bei ’s side, there are quite a few generals, but there are not many who can carry the banner in terms of ability. Apart from Yang Ren, Huo Jun, who originally entered Liu Shu with Liu Bei, is also OK. Zhang Wei and Yang Bai, some sullen in Liu Yi's eyes.
Of course, it's not really nobody. There are still many talented people in the middle of Shu. Li Yan and Wu Yi are all good talents, but the problem is that Liu Bei is not too dare to use these people now. And even if they really surrendered, but this surrender surrendered, turned over and directly hit the old lord, this kind of thing is very criticized in character, and Liu Zhang did not treat these people badly.
So most of the time Liu Bei only asks these people about things in Shuzhong, and will not let these people attack Liu Zhang directly.
After Liu Yi returned to the barracks, he did not immediately summon the craftsmen to put his ideas into practice. It is not difficult to make things, but this time the weight is heavier than last time. If you follow the previous framework completely, do n’t do it after you make it. Whether it can be pushed or not, whether the thirty-two wheels can hold it or not is a question.
Liu Yi's idea is very simple. Jing Xi or most of the siege equipments are afraid of fire. The method of setting fire this year is nothing more than wrapping some animal skins, but the problem is that the animal skins should be wrapped up and down. In a place that is ten feet wide, how much skin must be discarded? This is not a problem of tailoring, but of materials, or disposable consumables, which is too wasteful.
So Liu Yi wanted to try to replace the hides with cement, but it was just a layer of cement, but for such a big thing, if you wipe it all, the weight is not light. It is not easy to do it by manpower alone. But also have to consider the load-bearing capacity of the wheels.
Just estimated it again, Liu Yi found that if it is calculated on the scale of Jing, the weight of the resulting wheels cannot be supported at first, it must be added, and at least as many as 128 wheels need to be added. This is not the key. The key is that the manpower required is also greater.
Looking at the drawings, Liu Yi was lost in contemplation. This thing must be streamlined. What part of Liu Yi's consideration is streamlining? What part does Liu Beijun need most today?
For a long time, Liu Yi wiped out the part of the arrow tower. Although it is Jing Hao ’s biggest advantage, Liu Bei now wants to destroy the city instead of suppressing the enemy. Moreover, the presence of the arrow tower takes up too much weight. Okay, now if the cement is smeared, the weight will be a little scary. If it falls, it can kill a voter. On the battlefield, it is more likely to be killed by his own soldiers.
In this way, it is simple. The original well, after going to the arrow tower, there is only one wall left. Naturally, the ladder does not need to use the swing structure, and besides the front needs fire protection, the rear does not need it. This function is somewhat like a cloud ladder. However, there is no conflict. In order to avoid being burned after the enemy is killed, the horizontal version used by the enemy must be cemented on both sides.
However, in terms of weight, it is still a bit heavy, but within an acceptable range, in order to speed up the propulsion speed, each wheel involves two runners, which can save effort and speed up the propulsion speed.
The drawings are designed, and the next step is to get started.
Liu Yi ordered people to prepare the cement, and at the same time began to set up the frame, and then build a horizontal version, smeared with cement, the technical difficulty is not as delicate as the previous well structure, the whole looks like an upper part of a basketball frame, but there is no basket, The front is painted with cement to prevent fire, which is the most technically consuming. On the contrary, it is the rollers. At the same time, it saves effort and can be regarded as the role of auxiliary wheels. The bearings are continuous. If the main wheel is broken, the auxiliary wheel can continue to support the frame.
"Bo Yuan, this is ..." Liu Bei looked at the new siege weapon quietly placed in the barracks, and looked at Liu Yi with some daze. From the front, it really looked like a wall, still The very strong kind, of course, is not the same thing when viewed from behind.
"Let's call it the siege wall!" Liu Yi actually wanted to talk about the firewall, but he didn't say it in the end. He pointed to the ladder and laughed. As long as it is pushed down the city, this horizontal row can directly connect to the wall. Our soldiers passed The ladder swarmed up and could charge directly to the city wall.
Liu Yi smiled and pointed at the row of painted concrete above. That row is a whole. Once it is lowered, it is equivalent to an additional stone long and wide landing surface. The wooden stairs at the back are also serialized together. Instead of climbing up the wall, he rushed straight up.
Liu Bei nodded silently. What Liu Yi did before, at least it can be seen that it was a well. This time, it felt like a wall.
"Why don't you set up an arrow tower?" Wu Yi, who followed Liu Bei frowned, would it be more beneficial to the siege if there was an arrow tower?
"These pillars can't be supported. If they are all covered with cement, then this thing can't be moved!" Liu Yi shook his head. If he had the conditions, how could he not do the arrow tower? Cement, in order to ensure the balance and the wood can support it, there must be cement in the back, and then it is really pushing a section of the city wall and running. That scene is exciting to think about.
Liu Beiwen nodded his head, this thing is not difficult to understand, looked at Liu Yi and said with a smile: "When is this thing available?"
"It will take at least three days." Liu Yi thought for a while, but it was just a layer of cement, which did not take long to harden, but still needed to be tested.
Liu Bei nodded and smiled after a moment, "There is no such thing in the world!"
Climbing the wall directly becomes a charge towards the wall. Although it has the same disadvantage, this disadvantage has been eliminated by the siege wall for the most part, at least much easier than climbing the wall.
Liu Yiwen Yan estimated in his heart that this thing cannot be transported over long distances. If you really want to use this to siege the city, you have to make one for each city, and the cost is the second, but the completion can be used because the moat has been added by Liu Bei By the way, and Liu Yi had long discovered that the moat in Shuzhong was relatively narrow. I really encountered that kind of big city. The moat alone had several feet. Before Tianping moat, this thing was not available.
What's more, after taking down Shuzhong, the only remaining enemies are Cao Cao and Sun Quan. I want to attack the city. This thing is too slow. At that time, more large-scale clashes between soldiers and horses, so this thing is estimated It will be available in the future when it is about to extinguish a party's forces.
Liu Yi arranged for Yang Ren and Huo Jun to discuss the tactics with Liu Yi and how to use the power of this attack on the city wall. For the next three days, Liu Bei will still launch some offensives symbolically every day, but the battle situation is not too fierce.
Three days later, when the same scene was staged again outside Luo County, Zhang Ren looked a little dignified.
Although the catapult blasted off a lot of cement skin, it was just some. The kerosene thrown up later did not let the siege wall burn up as before, but there were black marks in some places. As for the cement wall , Until that fire oil burned out, it did not mean to spread the fire.
Deng Xian, Liu Jing, Ling Bu and others are dumbfounded. How can I fight this?
Zhang Ren did not panic, and ordered Lingbao to gather heavy soldiers to gather here and prepare to entangle with the enemy. Deng Xian and Liu Jing guarded on both sides to prevent Liu Beibing's horse from killing from other directions.
"Bang ~"
The thick wooden board collapsed, and a lot of the cement was directly cracked by the earthquake. Zhang appointed the archer who had already prepared to face the cracked gap, and it was a rain of arrows, but he did not see the enemy.
"Kill ~"
A large number of Liu Beijun swarmed along the wide wooden ladder and rushed in on the horizontal board. Zhang Ren hurriedly ordered people to go up, but Liu Beijun continued to kill the wooden ladder.
The fighting sound became more and more fierce. Rao Shi Zhang Ren and Ling Bu fought to resist the army. They were still gradually occupied by Liu Beijun and began to spread to both sides.
In the melee, Liu Jing was annihilated by the chaotic army. In order to protect Zhang Ren, Ling Bu was shot and killed on the city wall. At this moment, the entire city wall was transformed into Shura Hell, and the blood stained the surrounding walls. The corpses are mixed together, and there is no way to tell which corpse is ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Justice go, go back. All! "Deng Xian dragged his wound and killed Zhang Ren. With Liu Beijun occupying this wall, other places were gradually unable to withstand it. The ladder continued to catch up, and more and more Liu Beijun soldiers came up. Can't hold it anymore.
When the city wall is lost, the soldiers and horses in Luo County are not as many as Liu Beibing, and they can withstand the enemy.
Zhang Ren was unwilling and wanted to fight again, but was stopped by Deng Xian: "Hurry up, at least one person needs to report the situation here. The righteousness is far better than me. When he is back, he will continue to worry about the Lord! Otherwise Liu Bei The army was killed to the capital. With this thing in place, who can stop Liu Bei !? "
Zhang Renwen said, tiger eyes tears, nodded his teeth, did not hesitate, turned around and took guards while Liu Bei ’s army had not yet completely entered the city, and went out from the south gate and went straight to Shujun.
Luo County, after all, was successfully defeated with the help of the siege wall. As soon as Luo County broke, the last barrier was gone, and Liu Beijun could drive straight into it and reach the capital.
"Congratulations to the protagonist!" Liu Yi looked at the gradually opening city gate, smiled at Liu Bei, Luo County, the entire Guanghan County had returned to Liu Bei, and the next battle of Chengdu.
