Chapter 451 Risking ones life(1/3)
When they arrived at Carpenter's Camp, they were far away and Li Mengxi saw a tall wooden frame. When he got closer, he saw that the wooden frame was made of wooden sticks. It was large at the bottom and small at the top, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, like a tower.
The shelf is very high, taller than several people. If it were in height, it should be three to four feet long.
Li Mengxi asked Lu Li where the long bamboo pole was.
Lu Li came over carrying a bamboo pole. The bamboo pole was extremely long, at least seven or eight meters.
It is not easy for the army to prepare such a huge bamboo pole.
Li Mengxi saw that the well fence was ready, and there were long bamboos to increase the height of the well fence, so he said, "You can tie a person to the bamboo, and then set the bamboo pole on the well fence. In this way, the height of the well fence, plus the length of the bamboo, will be higher than the enemy."
There are many cities.”
Guan Yu is about to find someone.
Li Mengxi stopped Guan Yu and said, "Why bother looking for someone? Can't I do it?" Li Mengxi opened his eyes wide and pointed at himself, "Who in the army can be lighter than me?"
Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and took a good look at the short Li Mengxi. "That's not appropriate!" Guan Yu waved his hand and refused without hesitation.
"Why is it inappropriate?" Li Mengxi refused.
This is because the well fence needs to be pushed closer to the city so that people can wait and see. It is too dangerous to be so close that the people tied to the bamboo poles are like targets for people to shoot at.
Li Mengxi asked for permission again and again, but Guan Yu refused.
Guan Yu called for the monkey. After not seeing him for a long time, the monkey came and smiled at Li Mengxi.
Here, the carpenters pushed the well fence over, and someone brought the bamboo poles and ropes to tie up the monkey.
Before the monkey knew what he was going to do, he was caught and tied up.
The monkey was about to cry out of fright, and he knelt down with a plop, his voice trembling, and his face full of panic, "General Guan, I have committed something, and you want to tie me up!"
Guan Yu glared at Monkey, "Don't make any noise."
Guan Yu told him not to make any noise. No matter how many questions he had in his mind, Hou'er didn't dare to ask.
Put the monkey down on the ground and tie it to a bamboo pole. The monkey looks as embarrassed as a grasshopper on a grass stem.
"Lift up!" Guan Yu said.
The carpenters were laughing and joking together, carrying the bamboo pole with the monkey on it, and the carpenter carefully climbed up the well railing.
Climb up a few feet high, insert the bamboo pole upward, and fix it, the bamboo pole is fixed.
Looking up, a thin monkey is tied to a long bamboo pole. One side of the bamboo pole is bent under pressure, and the monkey looks like it has violated military law and been hung up for public display.
Guan Yu raised his head and asked, "Monkey, can you see far?"
Some monkeys who were afraid of heights looked fearfully into the distance and stammered, "Can...can see far."
Below, Li Mengxi also looked up and saw the monkey hanging pitifully, "General Guan, this is inappropriate."
Li Mengxi turned to look at Guan Yu and frowned, "When the well is close to the city, there will be arrows coming. If you let the monkey hang on the bamboo pole, wouldn't it be harmful to human life?"
Guan Yu raised his head and stared upwards, and nodded expressionlessly, "Well, we have to let the monkey wear heavy armor to guard against arrows."
Li Mengxi wanted to say, no matter how you say it, Monkey is still an adult. If he wears a set of heavy human armor, can the bamboo pole still withstand it?
Guan Yu sent people to bring heavy infantry armor. There are only two and a half sets of infantry armor in the army, and he has no materials to make them.
In order to make human armor, fifty sets of armors of the same shape were dismantled at once, so that there were enough pieces of armor of the same size to use for making armor.
The armor pieces removed from fifty sets of armor were used to weave two sets of semi-heavy armor, and there was nothing left.
After a while, the footman came, pulled out the bamboo pole, and put the monkey down.
Guan Yu personally carried the starter armor and put it on the monkey. The monkey still had questions in his mind, but he no longer wanted to ask.
In the eyes of the monkey, the general must make great use of himself, otherwise he will not take out the treasure armor.
The timid monkey had a tragic feeling, that's all, let's die.
The parts of the infantry armor are divided into helmets, shoulders, breastplates, armplates, skirts, and greaves.
After wearing one set of clothes, the monkey became an iron man. Guan Yu pulled the armor on the monkey, which made Guan Yu frown.
The armor of the walking man is very big, but the body of the monkey is too small. When the armor is worn on the monkey's body, it is loose and loose, as if it is hanging on the body.
That's all. The best armor in the army is infantry heavy armor.
After the armor was put on, everyone was asked to tie the monkey to a bamboo pole.
Everyone brought the bamboo pole and tied the monkey. They worked together and raised the bamboo pole a little with great effort. There was a click and the bamboo pole broke.
The bamboo pole broke, but Li Mengxi was happy. He finally had enough reasons to chatter.
"Haha, I just said it couldn't be done! I just said let me go! I just said, no one is lighter than me, not even the monkey. If the monkey adds a human, it will be heavier, I just said..."
Li Mengxi jumped up and down and chattered around Guan Yu.
Guan Yu looked at Li Mengxi who was speaking eloquently, but he hesitated to speak.
Guan Yu didn't know that the two brothers Li Mengxi were the strongest in the army. The two brothers were still children and knew nothing except Xiao Brick. Li Mengxi was the most suitable candidate to be tied to a bamboo pole and look out from afar, but Guan Yu didn't want Li Mengxi to get involved.
risk.
Li Mengxi also went to get the infantry armor.
Fortunately, when we first trial-produced the walking armors, we first made a set of armors according to Xiao Bian's body size. Now there happens to be a set of children's walking armors.
Small but complete.
Although the foot armor is small, its defensive power is unambiguous.
——
Li Mengxi walked over carrying a small basket with a squeak on his back. The basket contained his set of small infantry armor.
The basket hit the ground with a clang. Li Mengxi first dug out the iron jacket from the basket, and then put it on himself skillfully.
After putting it on, I realized something was wrong. I shouldn't have put on the helmet first. Once the helmet was put on, it would be difficult to put on the breastplate.
I had to take off the helmet, take out the breastplate, and put it on my head.
Li Mengxi was busy wearing armor by himself, while Guan Yu and Liu Bei looked at each other, both of them helpless.
Li Mengxi was a child who, in order to plan an attack on the city, ignored the arrows and knew that he would be shot by arrows. He was not afraid at all. In any case, he can be called brave.
At this moment, Guan Yu and Liu Bei once again admired Li Mengxi.
Without saying a word, Liu Bei and Guan Yu came over to help Li Mengxi put on his armor.
With help, the armor is put on much faster.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After a while, a suit of iron armor was completed from the head hood to the foot hood.
After putting on the armor, Li Mengxi jumped on the spot a few times, but couldn't get up anymore. His body was heavy, and when the armor shook, there was a rustling sound from the armor leaves.
Liu Bei and Guan Yu looked around Li Mengxi twice. It must be said that the various parts of the infantry armor were layered with no gaps at all, which made him look trustworthy.
"Okay!" Li Mengxi looked up at Liu Bei and Guan Yu, slightly excited and eager to try.
Liu Bei was silent for a long time and said, "Xi'er, why don't we go." Liu Bei smiled slightly and said, "We'd better finish the well fence..."
"That's inappropriate!" Li Mengxi interrupted Liu Bei directly, "The well must be built higher than the city wall, and the work will not take a day or two." Li Mengxi thought Liu Bei didn't understand the technical details, so he explained patiently.
Liu Bei was silent again. He looked at Li Mengxi for a long time and said, "Xi'er, you are not afraid of the dangers of war..."
"Hey," Li Mengxi waved his hand and said with a serious face, "If you don't hear it, you won't get the tiger's den if you don't enter the tiger's den!"
This sentence was so heroic that Liu Bei and Guan Yu felt solemn in their hearts.
Liu Bei and Guan Yu were also infected by Li Mengxi's spirit, "That's alright!" Liu Bei stopped being coy and looked at Li Mengxi with bright eyes, "My two brothers will accompany you!"
——
In order to find out the details of the enemy city, more than 200 people from the Sword and Shield Team left the camp and headed towards the enemy city with a slow-moving semi-finished Jinglan. The reason why it is said to be a semi-finished Jinglan is because the Jinglan is really only half-finished.
It's just an ordinary tall wooden shelf.
The shelf was more than three feet high, with a long bamboo standing in the middle. The bamboo was so high that Li Mengxi hung on it, like a hanged criminal.
Although it was a little uncomfortable to be tied tightly to the bamboo pole, Li Mengxi didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, he found it fun. He felt that the view was high and novel, and he turned his interesting head to look left and right.
Li Mengxi felt that being tied up was not a big deal, but Liu Bei and Guan Yu felt very distressed when they saw Li Mengxi being tied up high.
Following the well, Liu Bei was one of the people who personally participated in pushing the well. Liu Bei held a shield in one hand and pushed the well with the other. He looked up from time to time and asked worriedly, "Xi'er, are you okay?"
"No problem!" Li Mengxi lowered his head and looked down, giving Liu Bei a big smile.
The heavy armor of the footman has been rigorously tested. A crossbow cannot penetrate the armor from twenty steps away.
Thirty steps further away, the enemy crossbowmen at the top of the city were not shooting from above. The bamboo poles were higher than the city wall.
The army still shoots from below, and it is impossible to penetrate the infantry armor even at twenty steps, and it is even less possible at thirty steps.
The uses of well gates on the battlefield include shooting at the enemy at the top of the city from a high position, occupying a favorable view, and detecting the movement of enemy troops in the city, etc.
At present, the purpose of building the well is to find out where the staircase entrance is behind the enemy's city wall. When attacking the city, the siege point should avoid the staircase entrance.
The sword and shield warriors gathered around Jinglan and stopped at the top of the east city wall. At this time, they paused seventy steps away from the city. In the distance, the Yellow Turbans on the city saw the situation here. The city was crowded with people, and there were already Yellow Turbans.
The archer shot the arrow from far away.
