Chapter 859
"Gu... Damn!" Gao Guan was a little angry. He had considered the situation of the Rockets, but at the same time he had considered the opponent's ability to use oil, so he asked the soldiers to prepare some sand and soil. As long as the opponent uses the rocket, he would directly use sand and soil to bury it.
Who knew that the other party used a catapult rope to throw a glass jar filled with fish oil, and then shot out the rocket immediately. The fire spread so fast that the sand and soil were too late, and the siege equipment had been completely covered by flames.
Sure enough, with the development of the times, the methods of defending the city have become more and more common, and the methods that I used to think are gradually losing their effect. Unfortunately, the talents of high-ranking officials are not very high, so they really cannot consider such profound situations.
"It seems that you have no means to siege the city?" Liu Bao looked at the high cavalry with a little disdain. Without the means to siege the city, even if the Huns were so elite, they would not be able to run to the top of the city!
Running? Liu Bao suddenly thought of something, mainly because of the ramp like the ladder truck just now, which he still remembers. If he could build such a ramp, even if it was not very high, almost reaching the left and right of the city wall, then he could also take the cavalry and jump onto the city top and let the horses run on the city top.
"Sand...yes, sand!" Just as he thought of this, he also remembered that earlier, some soldiers planned to use the sand in their pockets to extinguish the flames of the siege equipment, but the fire spread too quickly and had to give up.
"I'm sorry, it will take some time to rebuild the siege equipment." The high-ranking cavalry was helpless, especially when he knew there were enemies around him, he had to consider whether to withdraw from Linlu County first, and then after the preparation was completed, he would attack.
"Forget it, you don't need to provide siege equipment!" Liu Bao quickly made up his mind, "Prepare a large amount of pockets for me, and then move the soldiers to fill it with soil, a large amount of soil!"
He looked at the city in front of him carefully. The city wall was not very high, three or four meters away. If the soil was built at this time, it would only take about three meters. He would be sure to jump onto the city wall with his cavalry.
A three or four-meter-meter-long slope only requires enough soil, so there is no big problem. Tens of thousands of people take turns to pour the soil and can be built up soon.
"Master, you are planning..." The high-ranking official was a little unresponsive.
"No need to ask why. Since you can't conquer the city, you might as well leave it to us! If you want to capture this city, do as I say. Immediately, don't ask why!" Liu Bao shouted directly.
"Okay, I'll prepare! Immediately!" The high-ranking cadre didn't know what the other party had planned, but the other party wanted to do it, so he prepared for it. So he went back and gave the baggage troops to prepare a large number of pockets.
On the city wall, seeing the other party retreating, Chen Dao frowned: "General, the other party seems to have other plans..."
"I know, but we can't go out of the city to fight. We just want to attract the other party's attention here and create opportunities for friendly troops!" Cao Ang replied.
"If you calculate the time, in order to save your energy, even if you borrow the road of Wanshi House for us, it will take a day to come. However, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry ambushing near Heishan and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry ambushing on Linlu Mountain will arrive within two hours." Dong Zhao calculated the time.
"Two hours, I hope we can hold on for two hours!" Cao Ang looked at Chen Dao and Zhou Cang.
"Good peace of mind. As long as my subordinates have a breath, they will surely ensure that the city will not be lost!" Chen Dao promised, of course, he did not forget to give Cao Ang a charming look. Obviously, he seemed to like Cao Ang very much.
"Well, that's a blessing..." Cao Ang shuddered and then reluctantly replied. Chen Dao was actually good, he had good martial arts skills, was good at training troops, and had the ability to command troops to fight. However, he obviously returned to the ancient genius and had the habit of Longyang...
To be honest, men are handsome and beautiful. Even if they have a habit of Long Yang, dressing up is actually quite pleasing to the eye. But it is a bit unbearable for such a person.
Speaking of both ends, after an hour, thousands of bags of sand were assembled. It was not until this time that the high-ranking officials knew what Liu Bao was thinking, and they felt that the other party was genius and began to be on guard.
The Huns had already begun to think about how to capture the Han Dynasty's city without using siege weapons. If they were let go back, if they had a feud with them in the future, the counties in Bingzhou would probably face danger.
There are only three solutions. Either you always have a good relationship with the Huns. This is almost impossible, but it doesn't matter. As long as he can transfer it before he gets into evil, his family is not in Bingzhou anyway; or you just don't let the ten thousand Huns go back. This idea is a bit unlucky, especially if you take action, as long as you let one person escape back, then even if Yuan Shao has a bad relationship with the Huns, he will be a sinner.
The last method, and the last method, is nothing more than to increase the walls of all cities. However, the cost is too high and the construction period is slow. After the construction is completed, it is also the political achievement of others. Many county magistrates do not like this kind of project very much.
"Go out and let the Han army in the city shake!" Liu Bao didn't know what the high-ranking officials were thinking. At this moment, he waved his arms and the troops that had received the order rushed towards the city wall.
At that moment, to be honest, even Cao Ang thought that the other party was crazy, could the other party’s horses rush up to the city wall? Otherwise, what’s the point of such a large-scale raid?!
As a result, when the other party came over, they realized their intentions! The thousand people in the front directly dumped the soil with sand and gravel around the city wall, and then turned around and left. Then there were the second batch and the third batch...
The choice of sand and soil is very important. The sand and soil on the base must be mixed sand and gravel, so that the ramp built can be compacted. Then when you go to the upper runway, you cannot be mixed sand and gravel. After all, there is no horseshoe. If you accidentally step on a sharp stone, it may cause the horses to lose their hooves and even implicate the soldiers above.
"General, the other party seems to be planning to build a ramp by building a soil, just like a ladder truck!" Zhou Cang quickly realized the other party's thoughts.
"This idea is amazing. In this case, our turmeric oil will hardly be effective." Dong Zhao thought about whether he could use this method when siegeing the city in the future. After all, as long as he could siege the city, no matter who knew the method.
At most, due to the relationship between heaven and earth, we should use less methods like throwing rotten corpses into the city to create plague.
"The question is how should we deal with it now? If we let the other party build soil like this, the other party can really run on the city wall!" Zhou Cang was a little panicked.
"Hasn't the research started shooting and counterattacking?" Cao Ang was on the city tower at this moment, watching the archers who had already begun to counterattack.
"The problem is that there are people on the other side who are covering and shooting, and the opponent's archery skills are no worse than ours!" Zhou Cang retorted.
Sure enough, near the city wall, a large number of Hun soldiers kept cruising. Whenever they saw the archers showing their heads, they bent their bows and arrows and shot at the city walls. These guys have been hunting on the grassland since they were young. Their archery skills are indeed powerful, and most of them can hit, which makes the archers not dare to show their heads. In this case, it is no wonder that Zhou Cang was a little panicked...
