"What's going on, what's going on?" Seeing that the beacon fire was ignited, not to mention Gao Gan, even Liu Bao realized that the situation was wrong.

"Is the other party planning to ask for help?" Gao Gan thought about it, the other party would light a beacon fire here, which meant that there should be enemy reinforcements in the rear or around Lin Xi County.

"Our scouts haven't found anything!" Liu Bao couldn't believe it, the scouts he sent out directly covered a range of fifty miles, and it was impossible for the enemy to get closer.

"That means either the enemy is hiding very hidden, or the enemy is out of scouting range!" Gao Gan pointed to the beacon fire, "Look at this beacon fire, I'm afraid it can be seen for a hundred miles if it spreads!" ”

"Hahaha......" Liu Bao suddenly laughed when he heard this, "A hundred miles, if the enemy is a hundred miles away, he may not be able to reach it in a day's time, what am I afraid of?" ”

"Here's the problem!" "We must take down this city in one day, otherwise we will face the enemy's encirclement!" ”

Even if it is defeated, the enemy will still surround it, but I don't know how many enemies there will be...... Gao Gan did not say this.

"Didn't I say that?" Liu Bao retorted, "If the other party dares to fight with me in the field, I will let the other party have no return!" ”

Then he pointed to the city in front of him and said to Gao Gan: "But the siege of the city will be entrusted to you!" ”

"Yes, I know, I'm going to send troops!" Gao Gan felt that the situation was not so simple, but if he thought about it carefully, as long as he could take down this city and capture Cao Ang, then even if there were more enemy troops, he could be used as a threat to force the other party to retreat. In other words, just take the city......

"Prepare for the rush and the ladder immediately!" Gao Gan immediately ordered to go down, and the soldiers immediately prepared the parts behind the baggage, and only needed more than 20 craftsmen to cooperate with the soldiers to assemble them, and at most they could be assembled in less than half an hour.

"General......" On the city wall, Zhou Cang looked at Cao Ang next to him. The other party is forming siege weapons, and it is not easy to resist a small county like Linshu County.

"Don't you see the jars in the back?" Cao Ang pointed behind him, where there were more than fifty jars filled with grease.

"The problem is that rockets don't set the car on fire so easily!" Zhou Cang reminded that she was limited by IQ, so she basically did not participate in military meetings.

"Rest assured, I'm ready for the opponent's siege weapons." Cao Ang said gently. It is his responsibility to appease the emotions of his subordinates, and the key is that Zhou Cang is somewhat related to Wang Yong, and Wang Yong is his stepfather.

Otherwise, how could Zhou Cang speak to him like this in such an open manner?

In half an hour, four or five ladder trucks were assembled, and two more punching trucks were at the same time. In addition, there are a large number of long ladders, as well as hook claws with ropes.

"Your Han army, the field combat ability is not very good, but the means of attacking and defending the city are constantly emerging!" Seeing that the other party was constantly directing the soldiers to fiddle with these engineering equipment, Liu Bao couldn't help but sigh.

The peoples of the steppes are almost always on the move, so there is no need to build walls to protect themselves. Naturally, he is not good at attacking and defending cities. Their enemies in the steppe are either wild beasts or their own people who also can't build cities, so even if 800 years have passed, they are still not good at it. At most, there are more tools like long ladders or rams.

"General, can you cover our army with bows and arrows?" Gao Gan also did not intend to let the Southern Xiongnu just look at it and not do things.

"This is no problem, I will send elite soldiers to cover you around the city, in addition, I see that the ladder cart is quite wide, I don't know if it is sturdy......" Liu Bao looked at the ladder cart, calculated the width, and it seemed that the horses could be allowed to go up.

"These ladder trucks are built by the best craftsmen, and they are absolutely sturdy!" Gao Gan seemed to realize something.

"Well, set up the ladder cart and see how our cavalry climbs the city wall!" Liu Bao smiled faintly, there was some longing in his heart, in the past, the Han army bullied them and couldn't run horses on the city wall, he had to prove to the world, why can't this happen!?

When the Mongol army fought in the original space, it encountered low city walls, and sometimes it would do the same. However, they didn't have ladder trucks, so they had each soldier have a bag of mud and sand, and then kept dumping it under the city walls, and finally rammed a ramp to get out.

Compared with taking the ladder car directly, not to mention the trouble, it is an advantage that there is no need to carry the ladder car with the army, and at the same time, the road paved with rammed earth is not afraid of stone and fire attacks, which is more convenient for cavalry to charge.

The ladder cart began to move forward, and the rush cart began to move forward. The soldiers armed with long ladders and hook claws were ready to attack the city as soon as the senior commander gave the order.

"Charge! Flanks for cover! Seeing that the ladder truck began to move towards the city wall, and before it even arrived, Liu Bao immediately gave an order.

"The Great King......" Gao Gan didn't know what Liu Bao thought, but at this time, there were already many Hun soldiers running towards the ladder car. After a while, he jumped forward, five or six meters away, and jumped towards the city.

"It's ...... Equestrianism of the Huns! Gao Gan felt very shocked at the moment, he was able to make a horse jump such a long distance.

"Shoot!" On the city wall, Cao Ang gave an order, and the archers, who had already been ready, began to shoot at the moment when the opponent jumped. These Hun cavalry, who rushed to the front, were quickly riddled with arrows, and then crashed into the city wall and fell down.

"Slinger strikes!" Cao Ang gave another order, and a column of slingers loaded a glass bottle on top of the sling, and then turned around a few times, and threw it when it reached its highest speed.

The slings are a primitive ranged weapon, but with enough strength, they can throw a glass bottle like this. The glass bottle fell on the catapult, the rampage, and the ladder, and cracked, and the liquid inside spilled out.

"It's ...... Grease! The soldier touched it, it was slippery, his heart was cold, he took it and smelled it, it was very fishy, it was the cheapest fish oil. This thing is not necessarily made of fat from fatty fish, all kinds of fish can be boiled together, especially the internal organs, in the final analysis, it is mixed oil, the taste is fishy and smelly, and the problem can be ignited!

Sea fish is very cheap, so there are people along the coast to boil fish oil, this thing is used for siege or army lighting fire, as long as there is a war, it will be purchased. There is also high-quality fish oil, which is fish oil for drinking, but the acceptance is not high.

Soybean oil, rapeseed oil and peanut oil, it would be a waste to defend the city with this thing. It will not be used unless necessary.

The grease had been spilled, and then the archers were out of the ranks, and their hands had been replaced by rockets. Shoot out violently, shoot at these siege equipment, and after the fuel of grease, the fire will soon expand, and it is not so simple to extinguish.

The firelight frightened the horses and did not dare to step forward, and these siege weapons, which had been completely burned, instead blocked the approach of the Hun cavalry. But the archers on the city wall can shoot farther and can shoot at the approaching Huns!

"Gao Gan!" Seeing this, Cao Ang shouted towards the city, "But what other means are there that you don't have?!" ”
