With the end of the siege on the first day, the Shu army always tightened the defense of the city gate that night to prevent a sneak attack by the Zhao army.And Xu Shu and Lu Xun also tightened the defense of the battalion, after all, with the disadvantage of the Shu army's fewer soldiers and horses, it was the best way to turn the tide by sneaking up on the enemy camp.Even for the sake of safety, Lu Xun sent several sergeants to quietly run directly to the vicinity of Chengdu, hide it, and supervise the movements of Chengdu at all times.Once there is any movement in Chengdu, such as leading soldiers and horses to attack quietly, then Xu Shu and Lu Xun will be able to learn the information as soon as possible and gather troops and horses to counterattack.However, after making the two sides tense overnight, there was no sneak attack on each other, and it continued until the next day.Early the next morning, Xu Shu and Lu Xun discussed suspending the attack and resting them.Although Xu Shu and Lu Xun ordered the siege to be stopped today, the Shu army in Chengdu never stopped, always worried that the Zhao army's men and horses would come to attack the city.There were almost a lot more troops than yesterday, all of them guarding the city gate, obviously because they were afraid of the attack of the Zhao army yesterday.But from morning to night, no enemy was found, and the entire Shu army worked hard for a day in vain, and the wind and sun were exposed to the sun for a day.With such a strange move, even Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng couldn't help but be puzzled, and they only heard Fa Zheng say in surprise at the moment: "Could it be that these Zhao troops noticed our movements, and Xu Shu led the soldiers and horses to move to the other city gates, attacking the west gate where we had no soldiers and horses."
It was impersonated by some ordinary people, and if Xu Shu really led troops and horses to attack there, I am afraid that it would be broken with one blow, otherwise he would send men and horses to check it out. ”This time, without waiting for Zhuge Liang to speak, Jiang Wan on the side couldn't help but speak: "Fa Zheng doesn't need to panic, if my West City Gate is attacked by the Zhao army, without waiting for the other party to attack, the defenders of the West City Gate will send someone to report."
When the time comes, it will not be too late for us to send troops and horses forward, so there is no need to go back and forth so bumpy, in that case, it will cause the officers and men in the army to be afraid. ”Jiang Wan's words were not unreasonable, but he was not convinced, and he couldn't say anything, after all, if the West City Gate was really attacked by the enemy, someone would have come to report it a long time ago.It's just that everyone is because the Zhao army failed to attack today, and their thinking has been greatly affected, which has also caused the morale of the army to be chaotic, which can be said to be a great success for Xu Shu and Lu Xun to stop the siege this time.Because the Zhao army did not attack the city today, the entire Shu army was panicked, but the Zhao army was very comfortable, and there was no change at all.Except for the sergeant who was wounded yesterday and was well treated, the rest of the officers and men were in good repair, and several generals and two military divisions were negotiating a new offensive strategy.Now that the approximate strength of the Shu army has been figured out, the subsequent war does not have to be delayed for so long, otherwise it will be unfavorable to the soldiers of the B army, and if Chengdu can be taken in one fell swoop, it would be better.During the meeting, Xu Shu took the lead in asking Wenxing: "General Wenxing, the batch of siege equipment in Baishui City has been delivered, and our army has not attacked Chengdu today, so the entire Shu army must have been unstable."
It's just that tomorrow we can't stop, we must launch an offensive again, take advantage of the slight relaxation of the Shu army, and directly give him a blow to the head, so that their Shu army is not so comfortable.In the battle of tomorrow, this siege machine is a key use, if things can't be transported, it will ruin our big things. ”Hearing Xu Shu's inquiry, Wen Xing hurriedly hugged his fist and arched his hand and said: "Back to the military division, just now Wenxing has received the news sent by the soldiers of Baishui City.Especially on the way here from Baishui City, because the terrain is not very easy to walk, the walking speed is slow, so the sergeant came to Wenxing for help, hoping to send a team of soldiers and horses to give a helping hand.Wenxing has already excluded 800 sergeants to go, presumably in the evening, all those siege equipment will arrive at our army's camp. ”Wenxing's words are undoubtedly excellent news for everyone.Not to mention the role of these siege machines in attacking the city, especially after His Majesty modified these two siege equipment, the effect brought by it is even more incredible.The ladder was one of the common tools used to climb the city walls and siege cities during this period.In later generations, many people believe that the inventor of the cloud ladder was made by Lu Bang Luban in the Spring and Autumn Period.In fact, in order to achieve the purpose of dominance, King Chu Hui ordered the public transport class to make the first cloud ladder in history, according to legend, the cloud ladder actually had as early as the Xia Shang Zhou, but the cloud ladder at that time was not called a cloud ladder, but called hook aid.The ladder that King Chu Hui asked Luban to transform is generally with wooden wheels underneath and can be pushed to drive, so it is also called a ladder car.It's just that relatively speaking, it mostly relies on manpower to promote, and on today's uneven road, the speed of travel is not very fast, and it can even be said to be slow.As for the sergeant on the ladder cart, it was easy to be shot by the archers on the gate tower during the push.Immediately, Zhao Yu modified this kind of ladder car, and equipped it with defense on the top of the ladder car, that is, where the siege soldiers were hiding.Protective fences have also been added around it, which can effectively protect the bows and arrows of the enemy at the city gate, in addition to Zhao Yu also installed grappling hooks and other equipment, which is extremely effective in protecting the safety of the siege soldiers.But later, after some simulation training, Zhao Yu found that although the siege soldiers on the city gate tower had been effectively protected.However, the sergeant who was responsible for pushing the ladder cart became the target of sniping, and even if the sergeant on the ladder cart was safe, once the sergeant pushing the ladder cart was sniped, the whole ladder cart could not move quickly.Therefore, Zhao Yu designed a model with shields on all sides at the bottom of the ladder car, reinforced the outside with raw cowhide and wooden boards, and the personnel pushed the cart in the shed, without considering other factors, which was very effective in resisting the bows and arrows and arrows shot down by the enemy army from the city wall and the stones thrown down from the city gate tower.It can be said that the bows and arrows fired by the enemy soldiers on the tower of the city gate have no effect at all when they are shot at those plank defenses.Even if the stones thrown by the enemy are heavy, it is difficult to easily smash through the defenses with a mixture of cowhide and wooden planks.As for the well, it is also a siege weapon, different from the ladder car, it is a siege weapon to attack the defenders on the enemy's city walls.Protecting the object of the soldiers of the second army who are climbing the city wall, the well is something invented by Mozi during the Warring States period, and later the king of Chu used the well to attack other countries, Mozi used fire to defend against the attack of the well, and the well is very slow and often easily destroyed.To put it simply, the well is an arrow tower and arrow tower that moves from an empty camp, which is mainly to attack the enemy's attack force on the city wall, giving the soldiers of Army B more opportunities to attack.If you use the well, any class can shoot from a distance, and it can be said that it has a wide range of attacks, and the strike power against the enemy's gate tower is strong, but the only drawback is that it moves slowly, has weak defense, and has no ability to fight in close combat.However, Zhao Yu had a thin layer of iron on the outside, so that he could effectively resist the enemy's fire.After Wenxing's words, in the evening, the general attack of more than 20 wells and siege ladder vehicles were all transported to the army camp.When these things were seen, the entire Zhao army was jubilant, and it seemed that when they saw these things, they saw the hope of victory.After all, every soldier knows the power of these things, especially since this well and siege ladder have been modified by His Majesty himself, which can be said to be full of combat effectiveness and reduced to a minimum.Although this siege object has arrived, Xu Shu and Lu Xun do not dare to be careless, after all, these things are related to the decisive victory of tomorrow's battle.At the moment, Lu Xun personally arranged a team of personal soldiers to strictly guard these siege equipment, each group was guarded by 100 people, and no one was allowed to approach without the order of two military divisions, otherwise they would be beheaded by military law.No one dared to cross the line or provoke the strict orders of the two military advisors, after all, it was related to the majesty of the entire army.Late at night, when all the soldiers had already entered the rest, Xu Shu and Lu Xun were still arguing.seemed to be discussing the battle for tomorrow's siege, only to hear Xu Shu take the lead in speaking: "In tomorrow's battle, our army has many soldiers and horses, plus twenty siege equipment, which is enough to break through the enemy city in one fell swoop."
If it is equipped with the three super artifacts of the tiger crossbow, the dragon crossbow and the thunder crossbow, it will definitely be able to break the Shu army in one fell swoop. ”After Lu Xun heard this, he hurriedly spoke: "What Lord Xu Shu said is extremely true, but what we are fighting against this time is the elite soldiers of the Shu army, and our army and the Shu army fought before, although the Shu army was defeated in a row.But this time the subordinate Fa Zheng and Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan and others are all there, and they will inevitably make every effort to prevent the city, if our army boldly uses all the advantages to show it, I am afraid that it will not be able to take the enemy city and return in vain, so Lu Xun means to show the strength of our army little by little, and start a time war with the enemy, so that the enemy's military spirit and morale will gradually collapse.When the time comes, the three super crossbows of our army will be displayed, directly shattering the enemy's defense line. ”Regarding Lu Xun's words, Xu Shu felt that it made sense, which was the same as what he thought before, but Xu Shu didn't expect Lu Xun, a seemingly young military advisor, to be so calm.Originally, I thought it was time to show all the strength of Army B, but this Lu Xun still had to wait for a while, and when the best time came, Xu Shu couldn't help but ask again: "Then according to what Lu Xun said, why are you so confident, and feel that our army needs to wait for this siege, why can't you just show all the super artifacts of our army at this time and directly defeat the Chengdu Shu army":
