Chapter 204: Sharpening the Gun in Battle (7)(1/2)
After ten rounds of drills, in the last round, Li Mengxi and Liu Bei watched closely.
I saw one siege team carrying a ladder after another, and the ladder was covered with shields. The people carrying the ladder grabbed the handle behind the shield on the ladder with their hands, and rushed forward desperately while shouting to kill.
They rushed fast and steadily, with long ladders one after another, like a long dragon, vaguely revealing a bit of tiger and wolf momentum.
Liu Bei was very satisfied, extremely satisfied.
Looking back at the performance of the local warriors when they first started practicing running attacks in the evening, and comparing them now, the gap is so huge that they are like two armies.
Liu Xuande lowered his head and looked at the little person beside him, and couldn't help but feel sad. In time, when he has finished his military training, and he doesn't know what kind of situation Li Mengxi, who is meticulous and clever, will be in.
The tenth round, the attack is over.
When Liu Bei and Li Mengxi slowly walked to the front of the seventeenth siege team, Youxiang Yong smiled and joked, "General, we ran first again, can you give us a banner?"
The cloth strips have been distributed long ago.
"There are no more strips of cloth." Liu Xuande looked serious and spread out his hands, indicating that they were empty.
The village heroes laughed.
"Okay, let's listen to Meng Xi and what should we do next." Liu Bei gave up his position and asked Li Meng Xi to come.
"The next step is to practice how to erect the ladder." Li Mengxi said, looking at the sweaty but high-spirited villagers in the dim light of the torch.
As soon as Li Mengxi finished speaking, the village heroes didn't take it seriously, "If you put the ladder up, do you still need to practice?" Some people immediately said that it is simple and there is no need to practice.
"Yes, do you still need to practice pulling out a ladder?"
The village warriors all said that erecting a ladder was so easy that no practice was needed.
Li Mengxi smiled, "Okay, you all said it's easy. Then let's try it."
"Twenty steps away, there are torches as the boundary. Take the ladder and rush to the torch, and immediately raise the ladder. Is it possible?"
"Yes!" the village heroes responded loudly.
"Louder, you can't hear me!" Li Mengxi asked loudly, immersed in this familiar atmosphere.
"Yes!" The village heroes replied to Li Mengxi with a louder voice.
"Okay." Li Mengxi nodded, pointing to the darkness twenty steps away, "Then we'll see the difference at first sight, twenty steps away! Let's break up!"
The country warriors retreated twenty steps away, and Liu Bei's cavalry checked that all the siege teams were standing in a line.
When everything was ready, the soldier waved the torch up and down several times.
Upon seeing this, Liu Bei cleared his throat and said, "All troops, obey the order and charge!"
Liu Bei gave the order.
"Kill!!"
The siege team suddenly started shouting to kill.
Twenty steps is not far, just enough for the siege team to pick up their speed from standing still.
Twenty steps will arrive in an instant.
Standing in front of the charging road of the siege team, Li Mengxi felt a little scared, fearing that they would not be able to stop the car and the ladder would fall on him.
The siege team has arrived.
"Lift the ladder!" Li Mengxi's childish voice sounded.
Without Li Mengxi's orders, the village heroes knew that they had rushed to the place and it was time to put up the ladder.
Li Mengxi only saw the group of village warriors in front of him, hurriedly manipulating the ladder. One of them didn't pay attention, and the shield used to block arrows on the ladder slid down with a huff, and hit a buddy on the nose.
It must have been very painful if the edge of the hardwood shield hit his nose. Li Mengxi covered his nose when he saw this guy.
Others were in a panic for a while. Although there were many people, one wanted to turn the ladder over, and another wanted to stand it straight up. Some people were confused and forgot to let go of the hand holding the ladder, and kept holding on...
All of these are not enough.
After a while, the village heroes lifted the ladder.
It would be fine if it were an ordinary small ladder. One person can lift it without any fuss.
However, the siege ladder is extremely heavy and requires the cooperation of many people.
When there are many people, coordination can easily go wrong.
Li Mengxi looked at it and shook his head.
Finally, after the helpless panic, the village heroes finally thought of erecting the ladder first so that they could easily lean on the city wall.
After all seventeen siege teams had put up their ladders, Li Mengxi walked to the front and sneered at the group of leading soldiers.
"Brothers, do you know how long it took you to put up the ladder?"
The village heroes all shook their heads.
"I'm counting for you. The fastest team took fourteen breaths to erect the ladder.
You bastards are as slow as turtles! If I were to defend the city, I could shoot you three rounds of arrows in fourteen breaths!"
Li Mengxi cursed loudly. Some people were dissatisfied, but no one dared to speak back.
“Does anyone have any ideas for making the ladder lift faster?”
Li Mengxi glanced from right to left, "Since there is no one here, let me say two things."
"First, there is a shield on our siege ladder. Before lifting the ladder, put down the shield first. Remember not to be hit.
Second, the city is two feet high, and you can’t get up to it with a ladder. You have to put the ladder up first, and then get up there.”
"Understand?"
The village heroes sparsely said they understood.
Li Mengxi nodded, "Pick up the shield and put it on the ladder, twenty steps away, and practice again!"
Li Mengxi gave orders many times tonight, and his voice became a little hoarse, but he became more and more proficient in giving orders.
Siege Ladder: The second stage of siege, leaning on the ladder, the second round of practice.
The village warriors rushed over with shouts of death, then unloaded their shields with a crash, and then put up the ladder again.
There are only two tactical moves, so it should be very simple.
"Stop!" Li Mengxi shouted.
He frowned and asked, "How did you remove the shield?"
The village heroes gave confusing answers.
Some people say that if you just put the ladder up, the shield will fall off by itself.
My God, although the shield is not too heavy, it still has a certain weight. A heavy shield falling from above and hitting your head is no joke.
This won't work.
Li Mengxi walked up to a siege team in front of him and asked them to lift the ladder.
Then, Li Mengxi and Liu Bei picked up the shields on the ground and put them on them one by one.
Li Mengxi couldn't reach it, so he picked up the shield and handed it to Liu Bei, asking Liu Bei to put it away.
Finished.
Li Mengxi and Liu Bei discussed how to remove the shield at once without hitting anyone or wasting time.
Liu Bei pondered and touched the short beard on his chin, "How about this? The person carrying the ladder on one side will let go, but the other side will not move. When the ladder tilts, the shield will slide down."
This method is very good.
It can be completed within one second.
Li Mengxi decided to give it a try.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Did you hear it? One person let go, while the other did not let go. Okay, listen to my order - remove the shield!" Li Mengxi gave the order in a slightly hoarse voice.
The shield was removed with a crash, but the ladder also hit the ground with a crash.
It turned out that there was no consensus and people on both sides let go.
Li Mengxi scratched his head and yawned.
"In this way, we have decided that the person standing on the left will let go, but the person on the right will not let go. Do you hear me clearly?"
"I heard you clearly," the village heroes replied.
Li Mengxi and Liu Bei picked up and put the shields one by one, and then helped put the shields on the ladder.
The preparations are done.
"Listen to my order - remove the shield!"
With a clatter, the shield was removed perfectly.
A country hero couldn't close his feet in time, and was hit by a heavy iron shield on the instep of his feet. He screamed in pain.
It seems that the tactical action is still not perfect.
To be continued...
