572.Chapter 572 - Breaking the City in One Word

"How is it possible to have such a large ladder?"

"No way!"

The soldiers on the city wall all screamed when they saw this huge ladder.

Yang Ren frowned and said, "Isn't the cloud ladder a siege machine, why do Guan Zhongbing still paint it on it?" Do they also pay attention to the beauty of siege equipment? ”

Yang Ren's words made everyone talk about it.

Siege equipment originally existed for war, many of them were disposable tools, and no one cared about its beauty or ugliness at all, they all cared about the practicality of the ladder.

However, the ladder they saw was covered with colorful paint, and the top was covered with many precious iron sheets.

Yan Pu looked at it for a long time, but he sneered twice and said, "No matter how huge it is, how beautiful it is, what's the use?" All it takes is a fire to burn it clean. ”

When Zhang Wei and the others heard this, they stabilized their minds, but looked at the huge cloud ladder parked in the distance with interest.

The ladder was still changing, and it didn't take long for it to become a monstrous siege machine. Compared with the traditional ladder, this ladder is not only large in size, but also has some changes in appearance.

Although the previous ladder was also a siege machine, it was still like a wooden ladder, and the slope was an echelon composed of wooden pieces.

However, this huge ladder feels like a staircase in the future. The slope of the ladder is no longer made of simple sticks, but is made of solid planks.

It's just that the width of this ladder is many times that of a staircase.

If we think of this ladder, it is like a car that has been magnified many times in the future. Driven from the side, the car looks like a right triangle, with the rear at a right angle to the underbody.

If you look at it from the sky, the top of this car looks like a ladder connected one after another.

When attacking a city, you only need to push the right angle of the ladder next to the city wall, and a staircase will be formed from outside the city to reach the city.

Because of the existence of this ladder, when the soldiers were attacking the city, they could go up directly without holding the ladder.

As a result, the soldiers will be able to climb much faster, and the siege will be easier.

After the ladder was placed, Wen Zhao took a few generals and slowly walked to the top of the ladder. He looked at Zhang Wei on the city wall from afar, suddenly became angry, and began to shout loudly.

"Although I am a general of the dynasty, I also have great respect for Taoist thought. I know that most of the people in Hanzhong believe in the Wudou Rice Sect and are Taoist believers, so they are unwilling to use swords and soldiers to cause killing. ”

"If General Zhang Wei can surrender the city and persuade Brother Ru to remove the title of King of Hanning, your brother's stage in the future will be broader than that of Hanzhong, please think twice!"

What Wen Zhao said was not a lie, he was born in the Yellow Turban, and no matter how hard he tried, he had already been labeled as the Yellow Turban Army.

The relationship between Taiping Dao and Wudou Midao is extremely deep, and they all follow Taoist thoughts, and even the rebellion is echoed by the north and the south. Moreover, compared with Buddhism, which was introduced to China in the future, Wen Zhao admired the local Taoist ideas more.

If the people really need a faith, Wen Zhao will also vigorously support Taoism.

The Zhang Lu brothers are extraordinary religious leaders, and it is a beautiful thing for them to lead the religions in their territory. Therefore, Wen Zhao is also sincere in Zhang Wei's solicitation.

Zhang Wei could feel Wen Zhao's sincerity, but he would never surrender the city because of such words.

Zhang Wei pulled out the sword at his waist, pointed at Wen Zhao and shouted: "You invade my city, and you want me to surrender the city, it's really wishful thinking." If you want to take Hanzhong, let's attack the city! ”

Wen Zhao was not angry, but Dian Wei was angry, and shouted: "The thief is shameless, if we want to seize Yangping Pass, it will be easy." ”

"If it weren't for the fact that my lord was concerned about the origin of the Taiping Dao and the Five Bucket Rice Dao, how could I be talking to you so well here?"

Wen Zhao waved his hand, motioned for Dian Wei to silence, and said again: "General Zhang Wei should not refuse first, wait until you have seen the effect of this super cloud ladder, and then consider whether to surrender." ”

After finishing speaking, Wen Zhao asked people to bring up a barrel of fire oil, and under the puzzled gaze of Zhang Wei and others, he dumped it all on the cloud ladder.

"Ignition!"

After pouring the oil on the ground, Wen Zhao continued to stand at the top of the ladder and asked people to light a fire on the top of the ladder. The soldiers didn't feel the slightest surprise at Wen Zhao's order, so they ran over and lit the oil on fire.

"Boom!"

The fire oil ignited immediately when it met the fire, and the fire was very large, but Wen Zhao led Dian Wei and the others to stand at the top of the ladder without changing their faces.

"Oh my God, is he crazy?"

The city wall of Yangping Pass is nearly ten meters high, and the super ladder of Guanzhong soldiers is naturally made according to the height of Yangping Pass.

After the fire burned, let's not talk about whether the ladder would be lit and burned to Chen Xu and the others on it. If the ladder could not support and collapsed because of the damage caused by the fire, Chen Xu and the others would fall from a ten-meter-high position.

In this way, even if you don't fall to death, it's almost the same. Moreover, according to the medical measures of this era, even if you don't die on the spot after falling, you are not far from death.

However, Wen Zhao and the others at the top of the ladder did not panic in the slightest, but were full of interest, looking at the burning oil on the top of the ladder.

Although a barrel of fire oil is a lot, it burns very quickly. It didn't take long for the oil to be burned out and slowly extinguished.

"How, how is that possible?"

The walls of the city screamed in disbelief as they watched the extinguished fire. No one thought that this super ladder was not afraid of fire attacks.

In this way, what is the difference between Yangping Pass and no defense in the eyes of Guanzhong soldiers?

At this time, the soldiers on the city wall began to riot, and their eyes showed a look of fear.

Wen Zhao was extremely satisfied with the attitude of the defenders of Yangping Pass, and shouted angrily: "The paint on the outside of this ladder is the latest paint developed by our army, which is specially designed for fire prevention. ”

"There is no way to burn the ladder with fire, how can you resist the pace of our army's advance? In addition to this, there is also a fireproof rushing car, if I really want to attack the city, Yangping Pass is nothing at all. ”

"At this point, do you still refuse to surrender?"

Zhang Wei's face changed several times, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "If you have the ability, you will come to attack the city, if you want me to surrender without a fight, is it absolutely impossible?" ”

Rejected by Zhang Wei again, Wen Zhao sighed faintly after all, staring at the two people on the city wall and drank: "Yang Ren, General Yang Ang, wait for this time not to surrender the city, when will you wait?" ”

Yang Ren and Yang Ang's eyes flashed, and they suddenly pounced on Zhang Wei and killed him.

Yang Ren cut off Zhang Wei's head and shouted loudly: "We have already lowered the general, who dares to resist the heavenly soldiers again, this is the end!" ”
