Chapter 860: The Crucial Fifteen Hour
"What should I do?" Although Cao Ang looked at Dong Zhao, his expression was not too nervous. He just sat there and watched the other party build mud like this, as if he was not caring. However, in the current situation, the general methods of defending the city were of little effect. The fastest update mobile terminal::
Since we can't stop it, we can only watch the other party build the earthen platform, unless we abandon the city wall and go out of the city to fight.
"I didn't expect the other party to think of such a siege..." Dong Zhao was also a little curious. Such a siege was not expected by the Hu people before. Sure enough, as time went by, the Hu people's methods gradually increased.
Then she began to calculate the height and width of the earth platform, and after a gesture, she replied: "The ramp that allows four horses to advance forward at the same time, stones and logs may cause some damage. The damage of grease and rockets is not high, but it can be dealt with with gun arrays. At the same time, be careful of the shooting of the opponent's archers... It is recommended to dispatch white soldiers and let crossbow soldiers cover!" The fastest update of the computer terminal::/
If the heavy infantry is equipped, it will be more defensive and the opponent's arrows will not easily cause damage. At the same time, it is indeed more convenient to use crossbow arrows to counterattack on the city walls than to bows and arrows.
"No...no..." Cao Ang looked at the ramp, but had other ideas. "The city wall is not wide, so one or two people are allowed to stand. If Bai Li soldiers are especially responsible for the attack, then at most one person is standing..."
Then he ordered: "Bai Libian is ready and kill me along the ramp, and the archers and crossbowmen take over the cover and shoot."
"If Bai Li's soldiers go out, they will completely enter the enemy's attack range!" Dong Zhao reminded. At that time, the opponent will not only shoot, but can even rely on flat shooting to conduct precise shooting.
"I have been practicing for so long, but I can't always act as a mascot." Cao Ang shook his head, "Bai Li soldiers are originally big killing weapons, and even if the other party is a cavalry, they are still fearless. They should be killing machines on the battlefield, not guard of honor!"
He then turned around and looked at Bai Libing who was waiting behind him: "Are you a guard of honor?"
"No!" Bai Libing replied immediately, starting from the formation and then starting training, eliminating countless weak people, and staying behind were all real iron-blooded men... There were also more than a dozen iron ladies.
"Then let me show you, use the blood of these invaders!" Cao Ang pointed to the Southern Xiongnu who were building the ramp.
Two-thirds of the ramp has been completed, and tens of thousands of people have taken turns to fight together, constantly scattering soil, throwing some sacks of compacted soil from time to time. The ramp has gradually taken shape as time goes by.
"Time is one quarter of an hour, within one quarter of an hour, let me see how many enemies you can kill!" Cao Ang calculated the time. From the opponent's attack on the city to the subsequent installation of sand and building the earth slope, it was almost two hours before and after. The ambush in Heishan and Linlushan could arrive at any time. One quarter of an hour was Cao Ang's psychological time.
"Yes!" Under Chen Dao's leadership, the soldiers of Bai Li's soldiers responded one after another. Then they jumped down without waiting for the other party to complete the earth platform. As a result, they were almost completed and perhaps not compacted. However, less than half a meter away from the city wall, jumping down would not affect anything. They just fell into the soil a little, and there was no big problem.
"Oh, did the other party take the initiative to fight?" The high-ranking cadre was a little disbelief. These soldiers who looked a little alternative dared to give up defending the city and go directly to fight.
However, it is also meaningless to continue to defend. The earth platform has been built. As long as it is slightly compacted, the Huns can even jump up to it at a distance, and the city walls will become a restriction.
"The problem is, you actually used heavy infantry to deal with us Huns?" Liu Bao laughed at this moment.
Heavy infantry has strong defense, which is very suitable for impacting ordinary light infantry and pikes' positions, and even has certain resistance to bows, arrows and crossbows. However, the disadvantages are also obvious. First, the equipment is too much and heavy, so that the movement speed and agility are reduced. Second, the equipment cannot cover the whole body, which means that the throat, arms and head, and especially the head, will become the key.
Liu Bao couldn't even understand why these soldiers used felt hats as helmets. Has this outfit consumed all the budget?
Look at the moment, the snow-white felt hat seemed like an arrow sign, indicating that they were 'fire inward'!
"Since that's the case, I'm disrespectful!" Liu Bao immediately ordered, and then a thousand Hun soldiers rushed out and shot at the head of Bai Li's soldiers. However, they didn't expect that the arrows could even penetrate the felt hat. Some of them could not even penetrate, even if they were pierced!
"Why is this happening?" Liu Bao couldn't believe it. Why could this felt hat, which seemed to be indefensive, withstand their arrows?
If he was a time traveler, he would probably know that the outer skin of the felt hat was made of thick fabric similar to jeans. The lining was made of cotton and stuffing, that is, things like cotton or paper armor.
This thing has average slash resistance, but its blunt attack and shooting resistance is very strong. Using the metaphor of the bulletproof vest, it will probably be easier to understand. For Bai Lijian, what they fear most is the strong crossbows and arrows, after all, their natural speed is not fast. If you overcome this problem, then everything will be fine.
When it comes to choosing a helmet, Cao Ang planned to cover the helmet at first, leaving only two eyes. However, due to the problem of creation technology, the ability to shoot arrows and resist blunt attacks was not too strong, so after Wang Yong's suggestion, he finally chose this felt hat style. Naturally, this infantry was also called the Baili Soldier.
"King, the felt hats on their heads seem to be arrow-proof! I don't know what fabric it is!" The thousand-man sent back came back and looked like a ghost. Any fabric is so good and can be arrow-proof. If he can, he would want a set of armor made of this kind of fabric, which is easier to use than leather armor!
"The bow and arrow have no effect, where is your scimitar?" Liu Bao angrily scolded, just because the other party resisted the shooting, he was afraid of the other party?
"Our soldiers are not good enough to get close to each other. The crossbow soldiers and archers on the city wall are covering them!" The commander of the thousand-time men said aggrievedly. If they get close, they will directly enter the range of the bow and archer, shooting from top to bottom, and shooting from bottom to top are two concepts.
Even if their archers can hit every shot, they have to enter the effective kill range before they can shoot, right?!
"Will our warriors be afraid of the enemy's arrows?" Liu Bao retorted.
"King, most of our subordinates are women!" The commander of thousands of men replied helplessly. He was the worst. There were more than a dozen male soldiers under his command, trembling among the large number of women.
"Then tell them that the strong men in white felt hats in front of them will be taken care of by them as long as they are captured! You are the commander of a thousand men, please use your brain more!" Liu Bao did have a headache. Has the Great Huns been cursed in the past four hundred years? Why is the situation of more women and fewer men becoming more and more serious!
"Oh, yes, I'll tell you immediately!" The captain understood and went back to inform you immediately.
As expected, after obtaining this guarantee, these tigresses really exploded with twelve points of combat power...
