Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Vol 4 Chapter 3556: Wooden armor goes out to siege

Shen Tianzi smiled and waved his hand: "Alright, alright, Rong Zu, you're not that guy Wang Zhen'e, you are always talking about the art of war, military aircraft, etc. We are the real men who take the lead and take our lives to fight. What we should say is to work hard to create miracles, and to work hard to win is what we should say, those who talk about the art of war all day long are just making excuses for their greed for life and fear of death, don’t follow them.

Liu Rongzu shook his head: "Brother Tian Zi, even my uncle said all day long that as a soldier, especially as a general, you have to use your brain before learning how to use a sword, otherwise you will not be able to do anything in your life. I think he told you that too."

Shen Tianzi was stunned for a moment, then his Adam's apple moved, and he forced a smile: "Uh, this, what Brother Ji Nu means, means that we should use our brains when fighting, and don't give our lives in vain, but he Didn’t I also make the foundation by charging myself, if I were like those guys who are called Confucian handsome, I would hide behind and not even see anyone, anyway, I wouldn’t accept him anyway.”

Liu Rongzu smiled and patted Shen Tianzi's shoulder: "That's it, the art of war is to try to save one's life, reduce one's own losses, and kill as many enemy troops as possible. This concept is always correct. When we fight, we can lose our own lives, but the lives of our brothers, we are also for the generals now, so we can’t let our brothers sacrifice in vain.”

Shen Tianzi hooked the corners of his mouth unhappily: "Rong Zu, then you didn't fight according to your tactics just now. If you followed the tactics you said, you shouldn't have a head-to-head fight with the armored cavalry, and you would have died by hundreds more. General, right?"

Liu Rongzu nodded: "From the perspective of this battle, it is true, but the purpose of my battle is not to destroy these hundreds of armored cavalry, but to capture this Xicheng, all of this is actually still in my plan. , although the losses were a bit larger than I expected, but still in line with the art of war."

Shen Tianzi's eyes widened: "What kind of art of war is this? What does it have to do with siege?"

Liu Rongzu laughed: "This is called the method of enticing the enemy and inciting the enemy, Brother Tian Zi, think about it, now that the enemy in the city has gone through this battle, you will believe that I am furious because of the loss of my subordinates, and I am a pile of Xiaojingguan again. It’s the head of the owl again, so if my Red Army brothers and I suddenly go to the city, will they panic, or will they be afraid? Or will they try their best to take revenge?”

Shen Tianzi opened his mouth, but was speechless.

Shen Qingzhi on the side said thoughtfully: "If you are facing an enemy that you think you can destroy, defeat, and hate, you will do your best to take revenge. If you are facing an enemy that you think you cannot defeat, you will definitely let yourself The enemy who died tragically will flee in fear, this is basic human nature, and the Yan army at the head of the city is probably the same."

Shen Tianzi said solemnly: "Yes, that's it, before we attack the city, their strong bows and crossbows will definitely greet you, Rongzu, and your brothers. Your armor is too conspicuous. Now, if you really want to attack the city, you have to change it immediately, I still have a spare set, we are about the same size, so I will borrow you first, or you can wear this one if you want."

As he spoke, he prepared to untie the buckles of the armor.

Liu Rongzu smiled and took his hand, stopped him from moving, and said, "Tian Zi, your kindness, I understand it, but, as I said, these are the art of war, within my plan, if you In the same way, carrying a cloud ladder and rushing two to three hundred paces before approaching the city wall, it will definitely greet the enemy with bows and crossbows, and I am afraid that half of them will die before they reach the city."

"However, if I have a way to rush directly to the city wall, what do you think will happen?"

Shen Tianzi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "How is it possible? Stop joking, Rong Zu, if you have the ability, you don't need to use the ladder to attack, and just rush to the city wall. We have already attacked, and we still have to wait until now. Are there so many things? We don't have much time to do this..."

Liu Rongzu waved his hand: "Brother Tian Zi, there are no jokes in the army, do you think I'm joking? You can see right away that my brothers and I will directly attack the city wall, and then the entire Yan army on the city wall will be attacked. I am afraid that they will attack us with all their might as Xanthella said, and at this time, you need to follow up with the fastest speed, don't let me fight alone, because I will not leave you too much military merit!"

He said, and walked in the other direction with a smile. The shield above his head was quickly being put away. The Red Army soldiers in red helmets and red armors were already arrayed in a square in the distance. The strong men surrounded the center, and Zhang Gang's figure, which stood out, disappeared in a flash in the shield formation.

Shen Qingzhi murmured, "I almost forgot that Zhang Gang was there. Does he have any tricks to attack the city wall directly?"

Shen Tianzi gritted his teeth: "With this guy here, Rongzu is really not bragging. It seems that we have to hurry up." He started to take off his armor as he spoke.

Shen Qingzhi said in surprise: "Third brother, why are you starting to remove your armor now, are you dying?"

Shen Tianzi said bitterly: "If Rong Zu can really fly to the city, do you think those archers and ballistas at the top of the city can still handle us? This equipment will only make us run slower. , just change the leather armor, Xang Er, this kid really won't leave us any remaining military exploits, there are tens of thousands of troops in Brother Ah Shao, but they are already ready to attack the city, we still Hurry up!"

Shen Qingzhi looked at the direction Liu Rongzu was walking, the shield formation was facing the Jingguan under the city wall, a circle of corpses and the corpse level under the owl were less than twenty steps below the city wall, he murmured. : "With such a pile of corpses, and the corpses of war horses all over the ground, how could it be possible to attack the city wall?"

Before he could finish his words, he only heard the sound of heavy drum horns from Wulongkou. Three red flags were raised at the same time. Thousands of war drums were beating at the same time. The whole earth was shaking. It's a signal of an all-out attack!

Under the banner of the Red Army, the shield formation quickly opened, and everyone could see it clearly. At a distance of 300 paces, there was a giant wooden armoured mechanic with a height of 20 feet at 50 paces. The eight-stone rushing crossbow above the head, and on the back is an iron cloud ladder more than 30 feet high. The top of the ladder is equipped with claw hooks, which are enough to hang on the plate mouth of the city wall. He is slowly getting up, facing the city wall. And go!
