Chapter 38

The Mongolian soldiers who came to the city held shields at the same time. In the past, when they attacked the Song Dynasty, which was a strong and civilized city, this was their experience. Boiled water, boiling oil, lime, rolling wood and stones, and other objects, probably as long as they were thrown from the top of the city, they might be thrown from it.

In contrast, the Mongolian soldiers summoned were much happier. The shields in their hands were no longer covered with cowhide wooden boards, or rattan cards woven with some trees that were useless to face oil. The shields they hold in their hands now are real treasures. First of all, it is very light, although slightly heavier than rattan cards, but when there is oil, this rectangular shield with arc has excellent protection.

When they are placed underground, they are about as high as ribs. Such a large shield is rare in battles, because such a huge shield will make the infantry, which is originally less fast than the cavalry, appear even more clumsy.

However, the shield in their hands really showed a special kind of sturdiness. No matter hot water or boiling oil, it had almost no effect on it. And even though the thin layer was not seen, it could not be penetrated by the strong bow. Although Mongolian soldiers would never think about how this thing was made, they knew that such things gave them enough security.

In fact, this thing is not difficult to make. It is just a protective layer made of tiny rings composed of glass wire and raw wire before two thin wooden boards. In fact, this is similar to the iron ring of the chain mail. While it reinforces the glue layer, the arrow tip must break the ring formed by the fabric before it can continue to move forward. The ring formed by multiple layers of solid fabric can reach a solidity similar to steel when the gum is solidified. Therefore, such shields have the best defense ability for round vertebrae and similar armed arrow branches. In this era, except for the four-edged armor sold by the Chinese Empire, few arrow branches can truly penetrate.

Although the "earth fiberglass" formed by natural gum used by the Mongols is far less capable than the real fiberglass formed by the chemical resin used by the "Huaxia Empire" within its own sphere of influence, it has an unexpected effect when fighting cold weapons. This small tower shield is popular with cavalrymen from various countries because it can attach a layer of protection to the cavalry armor of the Yulin armor series. This makes the cavalry who have already begun to use continuous fire guns also become more powerful.

With the successful establishment of the ladder, groups of soldiers holding shields began to climb the city. In fact, no one really expected them to succeed. The hope of attacking was to try to open the city gate or collapse the city wall. According to historical records, when Europeans at that time used authentic methods to attack the city wall, they would dig a considerable amount of air on the city wall, and then rushed in a group of live pigs. After ignition, they would generate explosive power to overturn the city wall.

Faced with a city wall like the castle built by Zhao Xu, it is probably necessary to dig tunnels 1,200 meters away. As for the cities of the "Huaxia Empire", no matter they have a cement-based wall, the premise is that they start digging 12 kilometers away. Because it is too difficult to do things that are not discovered under the "Battlefield Reconnaissance Lighting System Ii" system.

However, today's Mongolian soldiers have not only attracted the enemy's troops from the city, but also created enough pressure so that the attacking rams that are slowly moving towards the city gate can be transported to the city gate. Compared with those tall ladder trucks that are easily discovered and cannon-induced attack equipment, the "attacking rams" with impact as the main means are much stronger.

The task of the Mongolian soldiers who are now climbing the city is to hold back the enemy's troops, so that they cannot use more rockets to attack the "strike hammer". Those cannonballs cannot be damaged for a while, but if dozens of rockets are shot, they will be really over.

At this time, Liu Qian was almost no longer showing up at the city wall. When the ladder began to be set up on the city wall, he returned to the tower in the city. There were archers everywhere, and they were in groups of a window serving as shooting holes. This ensured that the attack of this window was like setting up a "Zhuge Crossbow". At the same time, the power of the pulley bow was much greater than that of the "Zhuge Crossbow". Its power would even "push" an enemy who had just appeared on the city wall at once.

When Liu Qian came to the tower, he could use a telescope to see almost the entire battlefield. Except for the area under the first city wall that was blocked by the city wall. Moreover, looking at the wounded soldiers or corpses left by the Mongols on the battlefield, Qi Qian felt satisfied, and was dissatisfied because the enemy had already begun to climb the city.

However, compared with his small castle in the style of a war fortress, the number of sieges of tens of thousands of enemy troops was still too large. His powerful bronze cannons were busy shooting at the "Huihui cannons" that were approaching and would cause huge losses once they approached, and they had no time to take care of the enemy troops under the city. The enemy there, under the protection of good armor and shields, still approached the city after suffering considerable casualties.

"Hmph, you bastards, I have to show you some colors."

If you can see from his position that behind the chest wall on the city wall, there are more weapons, grenades, molten bottles, and these things are the weapons to defend the city. As for the "Flying Swallow Iii-type crossbow" with a relatively long range, his castle is not equipped much, and except for the 4 gates of the central castle, he does not have more such weapons here.

The reason is that the "Flying Swallow Iii-type crossbow" and the copper cannon are both the most powerful firearms that Zhao Xu can do. Prince Kublai Khan also paid a lot of resources and money for these equipment, but now Liu Qian has weapons that he knows are effective, but cannot use them easily. The boundary he set for himself is that if the "reincarnation cannon" of the Mongolian army is not heated and planned to bombard, he would not use this last killer weapon.

Compared with the copper cannon that is slowly loading, the "Flying Swallow Iii type crossbow" will have a better intensive attack effect. But the problem is that the number of shells is really not large. This is a very helpless situation, so Qi Qian can only regard it as a life-saving thing.

The telescope in his hand looked out from the tower that was enough to the castle. The crowd of ants was getting closer and closer, and he felt it was time to give the Mongolians some great taste!
