At this time, the Qin army had already entered the range of the bow and crossbow, so the bows and crossbows on the city wall were opened, and the arrows were like rain, shooting towards the Qin army, both in frequency and speed, it was much higher than just now, although most of the Qin soldiers were carrying shields, there were still many Qin soldiers who fell to the ground with arrows. And on each tower car, there are also a lot of arrows.

However, despite the increase in the intensity of the attack of the army in this era, the approaching momentum of the Qin army has been unstoppable, and the speed of the tower cart is the same as before, but many Qin soldiers carrying siege ladders have begun to run harder, crossed the moat, put the siege ladder on the city wall, and began to climb upward.

And the defenders on the city wall also immediately adjusted their defensive position, the crossbowmen retreated to the second line, and attacked the Qin army by projectile instead, while the pikemen held the battlements, and the Qin army that climbed to the head of the city started a fierce battle, the sword and shield hands were prepared in the rear, all kinds of bricks and stones were rained down, and at the same time, the boiling water was splashed down, the Qin soldiers were smashed to countless deaths, scalded screams, and fell from the siege ladder one after another, the casualties of the Qin army increased rapidly in a short time, but there were still countless Qin soldiers, and the former servants followed up to climb and attack the city.

Of course, the siege ladder is only an auxiliary force of the Qin army, and it is still the twelve tower cars that serve as the main force of the attack.

Under the impetus of the Qin army, the tower car still approached Daliang City at an inherent speed, although each tower car was inserted with at least dozens of arrows, and even a few crossbow guns, there were several tower cars in the middle of the advance, and were hit by the stones thrown by the trebuchet, and some damage was also suffered, but in general, it did not have any impact on the tower car, and it was getting closer and closer to the city wall, and the windows in the middle of the tower car were also opened, and the Qin army archers hiding in the tower car fired bows and arrows at the head of the city, killing many defenders on the city.

However, although the tower cart is a sharp weapon for siege, it is not without a weapon to defend the city against it, just like a spear and a shield. The weapon used against the tower is called a ramming. There are four wheels under it, and the car is framed into two door shapes in front of one after one with logs, and from the beam of the two doors hangs a very thick log, the wood is thick and more than ten zhang long, the top is cut into a sharp cone, and wrapped with a bronze or iron blade, about four feet long, and the rear end of the cone wood is equipped with several horizontal handles.

This car is placed on the city wall, and when the enemy's tower car approaches, dozens of soldiers grasp the cross handle, and the cone wood is hard to rush outward and slam into it, sometimes the force is so great that the tower car can be broken and knocked apart, or the tower car is pressed against the cone wood, so that the tower car is not close to the city wall, and the flap is put down.

In 440 B.C., the king of Chu asked the famous craftsman Lu Ban to help the Chu state make tower cars and other siege equipment, preparing to attack the Song state. When Mo Xiao heard this, he rushed to Chu to persuade the king of Chu to stop attacking the Song Dynasty, but the king of Chu refused to give up the decision to attack the Song Dynasty on the grounds that Lu Ban had already built siege equipment. Mo Xiao chased the method of fighting with Lu Ban, and broke Lu Banchuang's tower car by crashing the car. In the end, the siege equipment built by Lu Ban was exhausted, and the siege equipment created by Mozi was still left. Knowing that victory was hopeless, the king of Chu was forced to abandon his plan to attack the Song state.

This is the allusion of Mo Zhai's remarks and stopping Chu's attack on the Song Dynasty. Since then, tower cars and crashes as a weapon for attacking and defending the city, but also widely used by all countries, and after many offensive and defensive battles, people found that in fact, tower cars, crashes have their own strengths, all depend on the use of the command of the army, and there is no zài crash will break the tower car. However, the production and cost of the crash are much lower than the tower car, which is where the crash is better than the tower car, but the crash can only be used against the tower car, and it is not useful for other siege weapons, which is the limitation of the crash.

If you want to break through a fortified city like Daliang, you naturally have to use tower cars, so there are also more than 100 crash cars in Daliang City, which are ready to be used to deal with tower cars.

Now is naturally the time when crashes come in handy, so at this time twenty crash cars have been laid on the head of the city, and at this time they are all pushed to the edge of the battlements, and the cone blade is aimed at the tower carts that are slowly approaching the city wall.

The first tower car slowly approached the city wall, less than ten zhang away from the city wall, at this time it can be seen very clearly, the top of the tower car is about seven or eight feet higher than the battlement of the girder city, and generally speaking, the length of the tower car is between two and three zhang, so this height difference is nothing, and the soldiers on the tower car are a downhill slope when they come out of the car, just can take advantage of the force, unstoppable.

At this time, the flap in the tower car has been erected, so it seems that the tower car is far higher than the battlement of the city wall, and the soldiers hiding in the tower car have also climbed on the roof of the car, hiding behind the flap, can only be a few feet closer to the distance, the flap is put down, you can kill the head of the city, and the defenders start a white-edged battle.

But at this moment, the two crashing cars aimed at this tower car were also ready, each crashing car was used by a total of twenty soldiers, the cone had been pulled up, with the order of the herald, twenty soldiers worked together to push the crossbar, and the huge cone brought out a strong wind, and slammed into the tower car about five zhang away.

"Boom!"

The cone slammed into the top of the tower about two feet or so, and with great force, the cone pierced the raw cowhide and planks, inserting more than two feet into the body of the tower car. The whole car also shook violently, and the two Qin soldiers who had climbed onto the roof of the car and clinged to the flap stood unsteadily and fell off the roof of the tower.

And then the second cone wood with a slight angle of inclination, and hit the tower car again, because the angle was slightly tilted, so this time the cone wood did not insert into the tower car, but also knocked the tower car in place and turned six or seven degrees.

The first cone had not yet been drawn out of the tower cart, and the twenty soldiers who pushed the cone did not take it back, but continued to push the cone hard, pushing the tower cart outward, and at the same time, the surrounding soldiers also rushed over to help.

Under the city wall, the Qin army pushing the tower car found that the tower car was retreating, and naturally they all worked hard to push the tower car forward again, but as a result, they pushed up and down, and together they exerted force, and the tower car was obviously tilted, and the two front wheels were more than a foot away from the ground. And the Qin soldiers in the tower car shouted one after another: "It's about to fall, the tower car is about to fall, pull back, pull back." ”

When the Qin soldiers who were pushing the cart realized that the situation was not right, and was about to pull the tower cart back, the cone on the other crashing car hit again violently.

Because at this time the tower car has been tilted, this violent and strong impact, suddenly hit the tower car a few points more obliquely, and the previous crashing soldier took the opportunity to push forward, with the force, the tower car accelerated the slope little by little, although the Qin army shooters in the car shot arrows again and again, and shot several defender soldiers in a row, but the defenders still did not relax, and there were constantly new soldiers to join in.

"Boom!"

Cone Wood crashed into the tower cart for the third time, and it was also the last straw that was added, and the tower cart finally exceeded the limit of inclination and fell to one side. And because a cone was inserted into the car, it was too late to pull it out, and it was pulled down the city wall by the tower cart, and at the same time, a large gap of five or six feet wide was opened at the battlement.

"Boom, boom!"

The two large weapons fell to the ground one after another, making a huge noise, and at the same time, they also killed and injured a lot of Qin soldiers under the city.

Although a crash car was taken down by the tower car, the defenders still burst into cheers, because the cost of the crash and the tower car is not proportional at all, and it is definitely cost-effective to exchange a crash car for a tower car.

At this time, in other parts of the city wall, the tower cars of the Qin army approached the city wall of the girder one by one, and the defenders used the crash car to fight the tower car one-on-one or two-to-one, some of the crash cars violently hit the tower car, forcing the tower car to keep retreating, and some of the crashes used cones to resist the tower car, so that the tower car could not move forward, and some tower cars kept changing direction in order to avoid the crash.

At one time, the remaining eleven tower cars of the Qin army were blocked by the collision of the defenders, and they were only five to ten zhang away from the city wall, and could not take a step forward.

Because although this distance is not too wide, generally people who have undergone a certain amount of training can jump over, but the soldiers are all wearing armor, not to mention carrying more than 20 catties of weight, it is not easy to jump over this distance. And the shiki are all round, and it is difficult for people to stand firm on the shiki, not to mention that the other end of the shiki is controlled by the guards, and there are guards on the city wall with spears to guard, so it is also difficult to step on the logs.

In fact, there were also Qin soldiers who tried to jump over this distance, jump onto the city wall, or walk over the vertebral wood, but they all failed without exception, either they couldn't jump over and fell off the city, or when they stepped on the logs, they were shot down by the defenders with spears.

The defenders' bows and arrows, bed crossbows, stones, boiling water, fire oil and other weapons desperately attacked the tower cart or the Qin soldiers around the tower cart under the city. After holding for a while, another tower car was pushed down by the defenders, and several tower cars were ignited with flames, although the fire was not big, and through the raw cowhide, it did not have much impact on the tower car, but after all, the tower car is an all-wood structure, and the raw cowhide is not a flame-retardant material, so if it takes a long time, it will definitely not be bearable.

At this moment, there was a flap on a tower cart that was put down, but because there was a cone to hold it up, the flap was placed on the cone wood, and it was still more than two feet away from the city wall. I saw a man stepping on the flap, running forward a few steps rapidly, jumping suddenly on the edge of the flap, leaping over a distance of more than two zhang, and when he was in the air, the halberd in his hand waved, pulled out several spears that stabbed at him, and fell to the battlement.

Then the halberd waved, and several soldiers guarding the battlement fell to the ground.
