The Hu people had arrow towers and Diao Dou court observation through the hillside, and there were fences to protect the barracks.
In addition, there are Hu people's scout horses, a group of twenty people, patrolling constantly.
Jiading City is located at the confluence of the Minjiang River, the Dadu River, the Qingyi River and the Dadu River.
Jiading City is oval in shape, surrounded by a moat and protected by hills. It is connected to three rivers through the moat.
However, the Hu people surrounded Jiading City through a ten-mile-long camp.
They used the trapping dragon tactic to trap Yu Jie to death here.
Such a situation makes it difficult for Zhao Ping's security team to attack directly, let alone deliver food, grass, money and materials to Jiading City.
On a hill, it is not only shaded by pines and cypresses, but also overgrown with weeds. It is a very suitable place to observe the offense and defense of both sides below.
Zhong Hua looked at Zhao Ping with admiration and said: "Xiao Langjun's colorful camouflage uniform is usually very ugly, but it was only on the battlefield that he realized the benefits."
"Especially for the fine craftsmanship camp, it is very convenient for the soldiers to see and spy on the Hu people's military situation at close range, just like wearing an invisibility cloak."
"As long as you don't make a sound, sometimes even strangers won't notice it."
Figures were shaking in the distance, and there was a faint sound of people neighing.
Zhonghua said to everyone: "Xiao Langjun, they are preparing to attack the city again."
They changed places from the south gate of the Hu barracks and came to a hillside where they could observe the distance between the two sides.
This is the first time Zhao Ping has faced an ancient battle scene.
The horns of the cows sounded "woo-woo" and the war drums sounded "dong-dong".
Thousands of people brandished swords and shields, shouted and attacked the city wall.
Thousands of people were flying towards the city from the sky like raindrops of arrows!
Catapults threw stones and fuel-laden stones toward Jiading City.
Although the catapult is very powerful, if it is hit by a stone, it will often cause bloody injuries and put great pressure on people's hearts;
From time to time, stones carrying fuel would fall into the city and its walls. From time to time, people or houses would catch fire, making miserable screams;
But the more deadly thing is yet to come.
This is an offensive weapon that is taller than the city wall, and there are quite a few of them, five in total.
They are Lu Gong's cars, and they are also covered with cowhide.
These Linchong Lugong cars slowly approached the city wall amidst the rattling sound.
There are more than 300 barbarians in it, equipped with crossbows, poison arrows, guns, halberds, spears and other weapons, as well as equipment to destroy city wall facilities, posing the greatest threat to the defenders of the city.
More than thirty ladder trucks also took action, posing a considerable threat to the defenders.
It is driven by wheels, and also has anti-shields, winches, grapples and other equipment. It has pulley lifting equipment. The key is that they are not afraid of arrows, and they also have robes on the ground that keep shooting arrows towards Jiading.
The Song army in Jiading City was not to be outdone and fired arrows at the attacking party.
From time to time, some arrows passed through the gaps in the shields, and from time to time, some people screamed and fell to the ground.
At the same time, there were occasionally a few people in the city who fell from the city wall after being hit by arrows. They barely moved after falling to the ground for a few times and then stopped moving.
At the same time, the Song army's fireballs kept shooting at the ladder, and explosive arrows kept hitting the Hu soldiers on the ladder.
Although some ladders are covered with cowhide, if there are too many ladders, they will start to burn.
But after all, the attackers had a numerical advantage. They had more archers and shot more arrows, allowing more soldiers to rush over.
After paying hundreds or thousands of casualties, they finally reached the corner of the city wall.
At this moment the moat suddenly appeared in front of us.
Hundreds of barbarians lowered the moat bridge, an ancient version of the pontoon bridge, and allowed the soldiers to rush across the moat with their shields raised.
Occasionally, a few Hu soldiers were squeezed into the river and flowed away with the river.
After a few flops, it disappeared, apparently drowned.
At this time the ladder also came over.
With the full cover of thousands of archers, thousands of arrows flew into the sky.
Some soldiers, led by Bai Tianchang, climbed up the ladders protected by cowhide on both sides, raised their shields and quickly climbed up towards the city wall.
The soldiers of the Song Dynasty on the city wall kept throwing stones and hammers with iron nails and beards, hitting the shields or bodies of the foreigners.
Some of the Hu people's shields were smashed into big holes, and some were unable to hold on, and even their people fell down together with their shields and hammers.
Some soldiers of the Song Dynasty raised weapons such as forks and roared to push the ladder away from the city wall. The Hu soldiers above were seen falling down from the ladder like dumplings.
However, there were still a few centurions and other barbarians who were extremely strong. They used their shields to resist Su Mu's attack. They finally crossed the ladder and were about to climb up the city wall.
Suddenly, someone on the city wall picked up a huge iron bucket and poured a bucket of hot vegetable oil on the attacking barbarians.
Zhao Ping and the others saw the barbarians screaming and throwing away their weapons and falling directly from the ladder.
There were also several barbarians on the ladder who had the hot golden juice poured on them by the Song people, and fell down from the ladder screaming.
There were also a few more brave barbarians who were captains of thousands and were able to climb the city wall with their hands after resisting the blow of the hammer and avoiding the golden juice and boiling oil.
The barbarian captain was about to climb up the city wall with a shout, but he was greeted by a slap in the face.
This thing is five feet long, four feet five wide, and three inches thick. It is covered with more than two thousand spikes that are about five inches long and weigh about six taels.
I saw the wolf fang slap directly pressing down on their heads like a mountain.
The key is that they are on the ladder and cannot escape at all.
The wolf fangs smashed into these several ladder commanders and brave soldiers, creating countless bloody holes.
They screamed and some of the wolf fangs pierced directly into his eyes and heart, and died immediately.
There were also Hu soldiers who were knocked down from the ladder by the wolf fangs and fell from the ladder to the ground. They were obviously thrown to death.
Zhonghua's expression changed, because at this time, an instrument that was nearly one foot tall appeared.
It consists of two wooden stakes hanging on the top like a bucket, and wheels are installed at the bottom of the car to be pushed by Hu people.
Two long pillars of solid wood were erected on the vehicle. A windlass shaft was set on the top of the pillars, and a small wooden house was tied to the windlass with ropes.
Seeing Zhao Ping's puzzled look, Zhong Hua introduced: "This is a nest car, a lookout car specially used to observe the enemy's situation. There are twelve lookout holes on all sides, and the outside is covered with rawhide to prevent the enemy from attacking. The arrows and stones are destroyed. Two people can be accommodated in the house, and it can be raised several feet by a pulley. When attacking the city, one can observe the opponent's situation in the city."
At this point, a worried tone appeared on his face.
"It seems that the barbarians have other more powerful ways to attack the city today."
Sure enough, under the help of the foreigners, the Chao chariot raised the hut to three feet, which was ten feet higher than the city wall. At the same time, the white cloth stretched out from the hut in one direction to the right.
After receiving Baibu's instructions from Chao Che, Linchong Lu's bus suddenly changed direction and moved faster and faster to a place in Jiading where there were relatively few people.
When a Linchong Lu Gongcha was about to approach the city wall, the Song Army's Eight Ox Crossbows suddenly showed their power, and several Eight Ox Crossbows fired at Linchong Lu Gongcha.
This Linchong Lu Gongcha was worthy of being a powerful siege weapon. After being hit by more than a dozen eight-niu crossbows, he was fine and continued to charge forward.
But after taking twenty shots, it finally reached its limit and fell apart.
Hundreds of barbarians fell out of this Lu Gong chariot.
However, other Linchong Lu buses actually reached the city wall and stretched out planks to build up the city wall.
Zhao Ping's heart seemed to have jumped out of his chest.
The situation in Jiading is very dangerous, because as long as the barbarians come out of Lu Gong's chariot, the Song army will completely lose the advantage of defending the city.
At this moment, the Song Army's flamethrower on the wall spewed out fierce flames. As soon as the fierce oil touched Lu Gong's car, it immediately burned.
There was a sudden strong wind in the sky these days, and the fire became more and more powerful.
Zhong Hua introduced it to everyone and said: "This is the true Samadhi fire shot from the fierce fire oil tank. It cannot be extinguished by wind or water."
He emphasized the power of this weapon.
"It stays on the body until it burns out. It is very magical and powerful. This weapon can compete with Xiao Langjun's thunder."
Zhao Ping nodded. This was indeed the ultimate weapon of the Song Dynasty. Its power at close range was still higher than that of the Thunderbolt.
However, it is not as convenient to operate as Hongtianlei, and it is not as portable as Hongtianlei, and its cost is far higher than that of Hongtianlei.
It is made entirely of dozens of kilograms of pure copper, with no gaps allowed.
Obviously it consumes a lot of manpower and money. The key is that it cannot be projected out.
This is a firearm with strong defense but weak attack power.
At this time, thousands of people shouted in unison amidst the rapid drumbeats of the barbarians.
They introduced a kind of siege equipment, and there were about twenty of them.
I saw that it had the same four wheels as a nest cart, and the two wooden poles above were hung with iron troughs like a firewood stove to hold ashes. Sparks were constantly splashing out, and thick smoke was constantly rising from it.
What kind of firearm is this? It doesn't look like a fire attack. After all, it is a city wall, so it is not afraid of fire.
Xi Xing and others were lost in thought, but Hu Ren had already taken action.
Wang Qiwan almost shouted, then immediately covered his mouth.
He whispered: "This is a dust truck. The barbarians are preparing to attack with smoke. Unfortunately, the barbarians have a back-up plan."
Sure enough, it was a smoke tactic. The thick smoke was clearly affecting the Jiading side.
If the barbarians used poisons such as Croton, Bronchus, Pishuang, etc., the impact would be even greater.
Not only is their vision affected, but their eyes and noses are also affected, and even breathing becomes uncomfortable.
Under the cover of the billowing smoke from the dust truck, sure enough, the Hu people suddenly pushed out five more Lu Gong cars.
They gradually approached the city wall, shrouded in thick smoke, and sure enough, the number of arrows and wolf fangs on the city wall gradually decreased.
This is the barbarian's fatal trick, the rest are just a waste of Jiading's troops and a distraction.
Obviously Jiading did not expect that the Hu people would rely on thick smoke tactics to gain the upper hand, and the defense was seriously affected for a while.
On the contrary, the Hu people's morale increased greatly, and more and more people attacked from the ladders, and some even approached the top of the city wall.
Lu Gong's car was already close to the city wall, and the people inside were preparing to open the wooden bridge and climb onto the city tower with one foot.
It seemed that the Song army above the city wall was greatly affected by the thick smoke, and they actually exposed a blind spot in their defense.
We can't let the barbarians succeed, so we have to think of a way.
