Chapter 198: Sharpening the Gun in Battle (1)

Siege equipment was difficult to make, and before he knew it, the neutron hour had arrived. Li Mengxi looked up and saw that the moon in the night sky had moved to the middle of the sky.

It was late at night, and the lights in the main camp of the rebel army were turned off. Except for a few sergeants patrolling the camp, there was no light at all.

Correspondingly, in the distance between the Chinese army camp and the small woods one mile north of Wen'an County, a large area of ​​neat torches illuminated a large area of ​​light.

The rebel army only had a thousand soldiers to fight. Guan Yu led 200 soldiers to block the east gate of the city. Zhang Fei led 200 soldiers to block the west gate. He also sent 250 men to guard the baggage, leaving only 350 troops to mobilize to attack the city.

soldiers.

The thousands of Yellow Turban prisoners in the Chinese army camp still needed to be managed and maintained in order. After excluding most of the security teams, there were only two hundred capable soldiers left, two hundred-man squadrons.

Liu Bei mobilized tomorrow's siege team to prepare for tomorrow's siege.

Seventeen siege ladders and one siege spine have been built. Such a small number of siege equipment is a bit small, but there are fewer people, so it is useless to build more equipment.

The two centurions attacking the city were arranged into two square formations. Liu Xuande held a torch and walked in front of the two square formations twice. Looking at the familiar or unfamiliar faces, Liu Bei said loudly, "

We will attack the city tomorrow. However, our army has not attacked the city since recruiting troops from Zhuo County. The method of attacking the city has not been taught or practiced, which will be detrimental to the battle tomorrow. Therefore, I invite you to come and practice at night, thinking that tomorrow

Preparedness."

After Liu Bei finished speaking, Li Mengxi on the side took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "Tonight's training is to prepare for tomorrow's war. You should treat the school field as a battlefield.

It is a matter of life and death. If you sweat more in the school tonight, you will bleed less tomorrow. Remember to be serious and don't slack off."

Li Mengxi also finished explaining. Liu Bei looked at the rows of soldiers again and nodded.

"All troops, obey the order!" Liu Bei said in a deep voice, pointing to a long row of torches stuck on the ground in the distance.

"Use the torches seventy steps away as a wall and kill!" Liu Bei ordered.

"Kill!!" The village warriors used the siege ladder as a unit, and a row of people carried a ladder, holding torches and shouting, and rushed towards the wall of fire.

The ladder is easy to climb and you can walk on it.

But the siege spine, which was hanging from a tree stump and was extremely heavy, was dragged forward and backward by seven or eight people, and the wooden wheels rolled forward, still moving slowly.

Li Mengxi had long expected that the siege column would be very slow. This was the experience gained from playing strategic games such as Total War. He had specially assigned the maximum number of people to the siege column. No matter how many people there were, there would be no room to push.

The village warriors carried siege equipment and charged. Liu Bei and Li Mengxi were still standing there, watching the charge from a distance.

"The siege spine is pushing too slowly." Li Mengxi frowned and glanced at Liu Bei, "Shall we go over and take a look?"

"Yes." Liu Bei stretched out his hand to make a petition.

Jogging along, Li Mengxi and Liu Bei caught up with the slow siege team.

Seeing that Liu Bei was catching up, the eight warriors who pushed to attack the city vertebra were immediately anxious, thinking that they were delaying and Liu Bei was chasing them to punish everyone. They hurriedly used all their strength and pushed the city vertebra.

"stop!"

Liu Bei, who was catching up, stopped.

The village warriors stopped the siege in uneasiness.

Li Mengxi and Liu Bei, holding torches, slowly approached.

Regardless of what the local warriors thought, Li Mengxi and Liu Bei focused most of their attention on the siege.

The torch came closer and circled around the siege spine a few times. Li Mengxi handed the torch to a village warrior. He tried pushing the siege spine. After a try, he discovered the problem.

Li Mengxi frowned and asked, "Can you use your strength when pushing?"

The local warriors clapped their chests and said, "I promise you have tried your best and not been lazy."

The answer is not what was asked.

(A hammer that can push...) Li Mengxi slandered in his heart.

When the siege vertebra is pushed from the back, it is easy to exert force. However, since there are less places on both sides to draw strength from, it is difficult to use force when pushing.

This problem is not difficult to solve. Li Mengxi patted the side planks of the siege spine and thought, just smash a few gaps and leave a place for the hands to grasp and exert force.

Liu Bei, who had turned around twice, turned around. He glanced at Li Mengxi and stared at the siege tower with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Meng Xi, when the siege spine is broken, there is no obstruction on the siege spine. If the yellow scarf of the city defender falls down with a pot of golden juice, won't the people who push the siege spine like me suffer heavy casualties in an instant?" Liu Bei looked solemn.

, "Meng Xi, what do you think about this? Wooden boards are put up on the siege spine to prevent the soldiers from being injured by the gold juice, and it can also protect against crossbow arrows. What does Meng Xi think?"

When Li Mengxi heard this, his eyes lit up. The siege vertebra he saw in the strategy game did indeed have a top. Li Mengxi nodded vigorously, "Very good!"

So Liu Bei ordered the village warriors to push back the siege tower and find the people from the carpenter camp to quickly add a shed.

After arranging the siege of the city, I looked forward and saw that other village warriors carrying ladders had already rushed to the torch at the 70th step.

Liu Bei and Li Mengxi went together.

It is assumed that in front of the rows of torches on the city wall, the village warriors are standing there talking to each other in dozens of rows using the siege ladder as a unit.

Walking in front of the heroes of the country, Li Mengxi spoke first, "After a trip, can anyone come up with any ideas to improve our siege tactics? Huh? Anyone who can come up with an idea will be rewarded by Xuande Gong.

!”

The same method had just been used in the carpenter camp, and Li Mengxi wanted to use it in the siege team. Liu Bei smiled and then said, "Yes, but if you have suggestions, you will be rewarded!"

The village warriors did not answer.

"It doesn't matter, you guys, think about it slowly. Fighting requires not only courage, but also resourcefulness. There is nothing wrong with thinking more about it." Liu Bei smiled and told the heroes not to be anxious, think about it slowly, and not put any pressure on the heroes.

Liu Bei and Li Mengxi waited quietly at the side. Gradually, the village heroes began to whisper to each other.

While the village warriors were thinking hard about siege tactics, Li Mengxi was also thinking of a way. Various scenes of siege battles flashed through his mind. Some were extremely magical, with flying dragons and magic flying around, while some were very real.

The scattered fragments of memory in Li Mengxi's mind are like a large database, and you can always find some useful information if you think about it.

"I, I have something to say." A village hero spoke up, interrupting Li Mengxi's contemplation.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Come on, come forward and speak." Liu Bei followed the voice and looked sideways at Chao Xiangyong, extending his hand.

This honest-looking Xiang Yong looked like a timid person at first glance. When he came in front of Liu Bei, he stuttered nervously and was speechless.

Liu Bei smiled and comforted him, and then the honest country hero stammered and spoke normally, "My ladder is heavy, there are few people, and I can run slowly while carrying it. Can... can there be more people?"

Lao Shixiangyong stuttered.

Liu Bei frowned and thought, "All troops, listen to the order and raise the ladder!"

After giving the order, the village heroes hurriedly lifted the ladder placed on the ground.

After the siege teams carried their own ladders, Liu Bei and Li Mengxi held torches and walked between the siege ladders, carefully observing the number of people in each team.

Looking at it, I did find a small problem with the number of people. The ladders were of different sizes and the number of people was not distributed rigorously. It is true that some siege teams had slightly fewer people.

So Liu Bei had his own command authority, and depending on which team had fewer people, he would pull people from other teams with more people to make up for it.

After some adjustments, the number of people was distributed more evenly and it looked much more pleasing to the eye.

Before returning to the queue, Liu Bei took out a piece of cloth from the handful of cloth in his hand and handed it to the honest country warrior who made the suggestion, "Okay! If you have any suggestions, I will reward you. After the city is broken tomorrow, with this thing,

You can receive rewards based on merit."

Laoshi Xiangyong excitedly took the cloth and thanked him profusely.

With the first role model, these country warriors with no culture, no bravery, and no outstanding abilities began to think of attacking as the protagonists, whether it was for rewards or to get more money to survive tomorrow's siege.

City tactics.

From this moment on, fighting is no longer the business of a certain general, but the business of the country warriors themselves.

The wisdom of the masses is powerful, Li Mengxi believed so from beginning to end.

Three cobblers are equal to Zhuge Liang; nine cobblers are equal to three Zhuge Liang.
