From felling the trees to heat treating the wood and making the wood bend, it takes time. This is a process that no amount of people can speed up.

Therefore, if you want to make giant wheels during wartime, you may not be able to make it in time.

The wheels are the most time-consuming and difficult to make, and are the most critical part of the vehicle.

As for the vehicle frame, it is much easier to do.

Li Mengxi then thought of whether he could make the giant wheel first and then take it with the army. When it was time to attack the city, he could use the ready-made wheel to quickly create a siege vertebra with a huge hub and good trafficability.

This method is very feasible.

It only takes a few siege cones to siege a city. One siege cone requires four wheel hubs. Bringing twelve finished wheel hubs is enough for quick production.

The wheels can be carried on a cart. A cart can carry at least two wheels, right?

Thinking about it, Li Mengxi suddenly patted his head.

Although the method is excellent, it cannot be operated. The army is in urgent need of carts and there is no spare cart to put the wheels on.

At this time, Li Mengxi suddenly felt the importance of military transport capacity, and he also deeply understood how correct it was to say that war is about logistics.

The Carpenter Camp just saw Li Mengxi standing in a daze for a while, but they didn't know that Li Mengxi was already in a daze and had figured out many key issues.

An oversized wheel is needed, Li Mengxi looked up at the city gate and thought, the radius must be at least twice that of the current wheel.

Once the siege reaches this point, there aren't many big problems.

Li Mengxi found a water bag, climbed up the siege vertebra, poured water on the siege vertebra, then pointed to the leaking shed roof, and patiently explained to the technicians that if hot oil seeped down, they would be dead.

Therefore, the outside or inside of the siege spine should be covered with a layer of leather to be foolproof.

There was no big problem with the siege spine. Li Mengxi ordered the carpenters who had not slept all night to have a good rest.

Above and below the city, a new day begins, and the country warriors are in full swing attacking and defending.

Li Mengxi walked to the city gate. He glanced at the width and height of the city gate, and then looked back at the siege spine, which was almost the same width and height as the city gate.

Suddenly Li Mengxi thought of another question.

Pushing the siege spine from outside the city into the city gate is one process, and hitting the city gate is another process.

After the city gate is broken down, it is the third process.

So, is the siege vertebra better to be larger, as wide as the city gate hole, which can block the attacks from the city gate for those behind the siege vertebra? Or is it better to be narrower, so that when our siege vertebra advances slowly,

The siege soldiers rushed forward from both sides of the siege spine at the same time.

In the end, which situation is better?

If it is a big city, the city gate opening should be very wide. It may not be possible to have a siege cone as wide as the city gate opening, but this is not a problem. Several siege cones can be pushed together to smash the city gate. Several siege cones can be pushed side by side.

The city gate is blocked.

Li Mengxi stood alone in the city gate, turning a deaf ear to the sounds of fighting above and below the city. He frowned. He was young, and his face showed a seriousness that was completely inconsistent with his age.

Li Mengxi deduced the picture in his mind.

Screen one:

If our army's siege is as wide as the city gate hole, then after the city is broken, the scene will be like this - after the city gate is broken open, the two armies meet in the city gate hole, with the blockage of the siege cone, neither side can attack

To whom.

Therefore, the siege team will push the siege spine inward with all their strength, and the defenders will push outward with all their strength.

Naturally, in this wrestling, the competition is strength and numbers, whoever can push the other side wins.

Thinking of this, Li Mengxi suddenly thought that he could add a ratchet to the siege vertebra. The ratchet is a directional movable device. The wheel can be bumped when it is turned forward, but it will get stuck when pushed backward.

So with the Jing Wheel, the resistance when pushing forward is rolling friction. When the enemy wants to push our siege spine outward, their resistance is sliding friction.

Rolling friction is generally about one-third of sliding friction.

In other words, a small structure gave our army an instant manpower advantage three times that of sliding friction.

The Jing Lun existed in the Spring and Autumn Period and can be made.

Even if it is difficult to make, as I said before, what is prepared is the finished wheel, which can be made directly and used during the siege without wasting time.

Li Mengxi carefully made a mental note of the small structure of the ratchet, and planned to find someone to make it when he had time.

Then, screen two:

If the siege vertebra is much narrower than the gate corridor, soldiers from both sides can fight each other from the left and right of the siege vertebra. In this case, it has little to do with the siege vertebra itself, but should consider the soldiers' armament and tactical arrangements.

In the small space of the city gate, it is better to use long soldiers or short soldiers.

This is similar to a city siege, only in a small space.

Li Mengxi thought for a long time. He stood like a piece of wood and didn't even know Liu Bei was coming.

After all, after the city is broken, it is a small process of hand-to-hand combat. Is it better to block the city gate hole with the siege vertebrae, or not to block it? Even after breaking the city gate, push the siege vertebrae out of the way.

Where is the road?

Li Mengxi's brows almost wrinkled into the character "Chuan".

After a long time, Li Mengxi had some insights.

In fact, it is completely possible to analyze the actual situation.

Assume that if our side is the Yellow Turban Army, we attack the city and defend the city gate, assuming that the strongest army in the late Han Dynasty falls into the camp, then what kind of siege vertebra should be?

The answer is that at this time, the siege spine should have blocked the city gate hole.

If the blockage is not full and the trapped camp is forced out from one side, our Yellow Turban army will be driven out directly.

Therefore, use a huge siege cone, or several siege cones running side by side, to block the city gate opening, and then push forward.

In this way, separated by the huge wall-like siege vertebra, the two sides could only push the siege vertebra and simply compete in strength.

In this way, even if the elite soldiers are trapped in the camp, they will have no advantage at all and will be pushed back by the large number of Yellow Turban troops.

What's wrong with being trapped in the camp? You stabbed me to death through the siege spine!

Therefore, when our army is far less elite than the enemy's, we should rely on the siege spine to open the way and use wrestling to squeeze the enemy out of the city gate.

In another situation, our army is trapped in the camp, and the ones guarding the city gate are the Yellow Turban Army.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Then we can no longer block the city gate opening. We should ensure that after the city is broken, the front and rear of the city gate opening are unobstructed, so as to give full play to the combat strength advantage of our army's trapped camp and engage in close combat.

, directly defeating the enemy.

Extrapolating from this, what if it were replaced by defending the city?

If our army is trapped in the camp and our army is defending the city, if the Yellow Turban Army pushes in with a giant siege vertebral column, then we must destroy the siege vertebral column quickly. You can let one person push it and the other use it.

Use the ax to cut, then push aside to destroy the siege spine. When you use the ax to cut a way, then rush out and kill the Yellow Turban Army.

And if our army is the Yellow Turban, our army defends the city, and the enemy army is trapped in the camp and has already reached the city gate.

In a hand-to-hand encounter, our army will definitely be gone in an instant. You can use a giant siege spine to block the city gate hole, and push the siege spine to push the enemy out.

What's wrong with being trapped in the camp? Come and stab me to death across the siege spine.

As a result, under this shameless tactics, a miraculous achievement occurred - a group of Yellow Turbans without armor, held up the terrifying trapped camp in the city gate cave for several hours, and then defeated the trapped camp.

Squeezed out.

Simply drunk.

From this, his thoughts extended, and Li Mengxi thought of a weapon that should be useful for defending the city.

One or more sword carts with blades on the front were blocked in the city gate, and soldiers pushed the carts to push out the siege troops who had broken through the door.

This may be able to make up for the lack of combat power of our soldiers and defend the city. Fighting requires armor, morale, fighting skills of the soldiers, and cooperation. But civilians can do it when pushing shield carts, even without morale or cooperation.

Moreover, in Li Mengxi's memory, in some film and television dramas, knives and carts were indeed used to block the city gates.

After figuring everything out, Li Mengxi took a breath. When he raised his eyes, Li Mengxi saw a figure standing in front of him.

Liu Bei, when did he come? Li Mengxi was stunned.

"Meng Xi, I've seen you entranced for a long time, but you have another plan?" Liu Bei teased with a smile.

"A little gain." Li Mengxi pondered.

Then, amid the sounds of fighting both above and below the city, Li Mengxi told Liu Bei everything he had just learned.

Liu Bei's eyes widened as he listened, his face filled with disbelief.

When Li Mengxi finished speaking, Liu Bei looked at his feet with a shocked expression.

Just before and after this city gate, just one step away, there is so much knowledge.

Li Mengxi can think of seven strategies in one step.

Liu Bei was filled with emotion. In the future, Li Mengxi will surely become a famous general in the world.

Liu Bei thought that compared with Li Mengxi, he felt ashamed.

People are indeed different, Liu Bei was heartbroken.

The limited scene is in the city gate cave, and the siege vertebra has specific usage in specific environments; the siege vertebra is an improved ratchet; the city defense instrument is the knife cart.

Every step can be planned.

In these troubled times at the end of the Han Dynasty, famous and brave generals emerged in large numbers.
