Chapter 55 Bamboo Control Armor
Original this time of attack, Prince Kublai Khan made full preparations for all the siege equipment of the O army. In his eyes, dealing with the short defense line in front of him was no longer a wild offensive and defensive battle. This was a complete siege battle.
Who has ever seen an army build such a strong city wall in a short time? Although it is not just a configuration of bamboo tubes, stones, rope nets and sandbags, such things can withstand powerful attacks. When he captured bamboo city, he was simply amazing about the other party's creativity.
In addition to the description of Zhucheng above, there are more designs behind Zhucheng. The inclined bamboo pipes as support are arranged to form the stairs and extend to the supply tunnel. There was even a large water gun made of bamboo, which was filled with boiling oil to hurt. It was not used because of the military force of the Chinese army, and it could be seen in the battles behind.
The various designs actually reflect the cleverness of the people of Shu. In this era, except for the rulers of the "Huaxia Empire", all the rulers did whatever they did, but the people in their hearts were still just people who followed their batons.
But this is not the case in the "Huaxia Empire". Respecting the people, believing in the people, and using the people is the foundation of its constitutional monarchy. In this base, it can be said that most people have done a lot of effort to the "Huaxia Empire".
Prince Kublai Khan expected a more tragic bloody battle to face the taller and stronger bamboo city in front of him. But he had to face the cruel scene, just like Zhao Fubo's guess, he had to take down the "main army" in front of him. {http:
The meniscus-shaped bamboo city is because two turrets on both sides are built into round vertebrae. It is a circle that is smuggled up to 50 meters, and it is like a warship deployed with two layers of "Hell Messenger II-type field cannons" and a large amount of side firepower. In addition, the entire bamboo city is also bent inward with the central gate, forming a considerable arc. Although this increases the length of the city wall, such a wall undoubtedly also enhances the possibility of crossing firepower.
How could Kublai Khan, the prince who had fought for a lifetime, not knowing the dangers of the war in front of him? Although the enemy had arrived in the rear, there was a 30,000 army there defending the city, which was not something he was worried about. He believed that as long as he had eaten the "main army" in front of him, the surprise attacking army behind him could ignore it.
Therefore, in addition to the arrangement of shield chariots to cover the advance of the infantry, a large number of arrow towers and ladders to siege the city were also arranged to manufacture, and even specialized chariots with the "Flying Swallow III-type crossbow cannons". They were vehicles that used three-layer sand bamboo tubes and thick chassis, and things like shafts were made at the back. The source of power was the 6 buffaloes behind them.
Of course, such things are not too fast, but its only advantage is their strength. The "Flying Swallow Iii-type crossbow" was dismantled from the original cannon truck, fixed on a heavy chassis, and was strictly protected. As long as it can advance to 1,000 meters, it can attack Zhucheng. In addition, it is to dig bunkers at a distance of 1,000 meters and deploy the "Flying Swallow Iii-type crossbow".
However, they were strictly protected by bunkers and were only outside the ground. However, Prince Kublai Khan has not dared to deploy the "Flying Swallow Iii-type crossbow" in, for fear of being hit by the opponent's firepower. The same kind of gun cart protected by heavy "bamboo tube armor" is also hidden far behind the bamboo city, intending to start and quietly advance at night.
Also, on the river surface, there will also be large bamboo platoons carrying the "Flying Swallow Iii-type crossbow cannons" forward as floating turrets. All preparations are prepared for the most fierce attack on the bamboo city ahead.
It has to be said that this time Prince Kublai Khan has become much smarter. At least the bunker-style "Flying Swallow III-type crossbow" fire position can provide a lot of cover to the offensive troops. In addition, the shield car will also strengthen the cover of infantry to reduce casualties on the charge road. Moreover, this time when charging, he asked the soldiers not to bring short guns. Although the fun is powerful at close range, it is completely impossible to fight back when the infantry is in the wilderness.
The pulley bow, as a standard weapon of the Mongolian army, has powerful combat capabilities. Although it is not as powerful as a musket, it can finally shoot quickly. And it doesn’t have to stand up to complete the shooting. At least this gives soldiers the means of confrontation when they advance, and they will not fall under the guns of others without any obstacles when they are running with their swords.
With the rapid construction of these siege equipment, the decisive battle prepared by Prince Kublai Khan is about to come. According to the attack experience of Zhucheng, he asked the soldiers to bring more grenades. As soon as the Zhucheng was not high, he had already been thrown into Zhucheng. In addition, when there were enough grenades, he could probably explode and break through the enemy's city. The only thing he needed was to explode the city wall, and only in this way could his huge advantage in military strength be able to exert it.
That is, when breaking through the city wall, he must immediately wield his superior cavalry and rushed into the enemy's position to stir up with them. The opponent's firepower advantage was completely unable to swing. Even in order to fight against the opponent with his rifle in front of him, he also prepared some small sacks. Infantrymen who wanted to break through to 100 meters below the opponent's city, dig trenches and defend to fight against the opponent.
This is the offensive and defensive battle in the bamboo city ahead, which has given the Mongolian army enough experience to deal with such defensive measures. From some perspectives, the level of almost mutual understanding between Prince Kublai Khan and Zhao Fubo is a level of almost mutual understanding.
Zhao Fubo was in the rear of the Mongolian army, and stopped there to confront the 30,000 troops in the opponent's city defense, and surrounded him without attacking. He probably had to suffer in the front and ended up not being able to take care of each other. Prince Kublai Khan also followed Zhao Fubo's idea and attacked him to show him, so that he could understand that the Mongolian army still had the ability to eat his main brigade.
However, Prince Kublai Khan's very poor intelligence system could not let him know that at this moment, the warships from Jeju Island, who were carrying a large number of supplies and military supplies, were breaking through the layers of river blocking iron locks of the Song Dynasty court and rushed over. This is also the real reason why Zhao Fubo delayed here.
"Attack, don't attack politely. In a few days, when our fleet comes, you will know it will be amazing!"
When Zhao Fubo knew that Prince Kublai Khan had taken 5 days to prepare for the attack, he just smiled coldly.
