my wife is mulan

The soldiers and officers of the defenders all laughed, and they all put down the door panel to collect the arrows nailed to it.

Zhao Junsheng murmured in his heart, remembering that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there seemed to be a story about Zhuge Kongming borrowing arrows from a grass boat. Today, Hua Mulan actually borrowed arrows with a door panel.

In the official history "Three Kingdoms of Pei Songzhi Citation" Wei Lue recorded that Sun Quan provoked Cao Cao once, but Cao Cao couldn't hold on, Sun Quan took a boat with a large number of naval warships to check the reality in front of Cao Jun's water village. Cao Cao saw that it was Sun Quan's fleet Arrived, so he ordered to release arrows, all arrows were fired, all the arrows were shot on the ship, the weight of a large number of arrows caused the ship to tilt, so Sun Quan ordered to turn around, and the other side of the ship after turning around was shot by a large number of arrows, and so on. The boat was balanced. Not only did it find out the truth and reality of Cao Jun, but it also brought back a large number of arrows.

Zhao Junsheng couldn't help asking Hua Mulan: "Mulan, how did you come up with the idea of ​​letting craftsmen make door panels so that they can not only defend against the opponent's long-range bow and arrow suppression, but also get a large number of arrows?"

Hua Mulan smiled and said, "Didn't you recommend and give me some history that day? I read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and just now I remembered the part in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that recorded that Sun Quan, the Lord of Wu, led the fleet to provoke Cao Cao, so I came up with this idea." Method!"

Zhao Junsheng has to admire that Hua Mulan is really learning and applying. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms only records such a thing, and Sun Quan did not really rush to borrow arrows from Cao Cao. It was purely at the right time, but Hua Mulan It can be found and borrowed from such a record to defend the city.

Books are still extremely precious in this era, and ordinary people have no chance to come into contact with them. In later generations, a series of military strategy books such as "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Six Secret Teachings", "Sun Bin's Art of War", "36 Strategies" and so on can be bought anywhere. There are countless people who have learned it, but how many people can really apply what they have learned?

In reality, the knowledge and knowledge acquired can be used

There are very few opportunities to copy it mechanically. The difference between people is that some people can improve and use the knowledge they have learned, while others cannot.It's like many people say that the knowledge learned in school is useless in society. In fact, it's not that you can't use it, but that you haven't learned how to use it.

After some collection and counting, Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan discovered that they had collected more than 3000 arrows.

Seeing that the attacking Rouran soldiers and slaves had all withdrawn, Hua Mulan sent someone to put down the hanging baskets and let some soldiers go down the city wall to clean up the corpses. Otherwise, the piles of corpses would get higher and the difference in height between the city wall and the ground would be wiped out. If it is flat, the enemy can step on the corpse and rush up the city wall.

Although the Rouran people also saw this scene, they did not come to harass them. They knew that even if they sent people to harass them, the defenders on the city wall would soon pull them up, and it would be useless to go there.

Less than half an hour later, the Rouran people attacked again, and the archers climbed up to the high platform again. In order to block the arrows of the defenders of the city wall, they blocked their shields in front.

Suddenly an arrow tied with a rope shot out and hit a door panel. The rope was pulled tight immediately, and the door panel was pulled up and fell off the city wall.

The Rouran archers on the high platform saw that this method was effective, and immediately shot a large number of arrows with ropes. These arrows were shot on the door panel, and the other end of the rope was at the bottom of the hill outside the city wall. Many slaves yanked it hard. Door panels were pulled one after another and flew out of the city wall.

Soon the door panels on the city wall were pulled away one by one, and a large number of defenders hiding behind were exposed to the bows and arrows of Rouran archers.

Casualties began to appear, and soldiers fell down one by one.

Hua Mulan yelled: "Everyone in the back squats down, the sword and shield soldiers block with their shields, and the archers counterattack!"

Chapter 319 You have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder

Although Hua Mulan gave the order in time, many of the defenders who had no cover were shot by arrows one after another. v

Upon seeing this, Zhao Junsheng immediately issued an order to order some of the soldiers who were used as substitutes to withdraw from the city wall to avoid unnecessary casualties.

The casualties were not reduced until half of the defenders were withdrawn from the city wall.

At this time, the Rouran soldiers and slaves had already rushed under the city wall. This time they carried a lot more siege ladders than before. There was a siege ladder every one meter.

If the spearmen walk out from behind the sword and shield soldiers, they will be exposed to the arrows of the gentle archers on the high platform, but there is no other good way at this time. No matter how heavy the casualties are, they can only hold on. Do everything possible to prevent the enemy from climbing the city wall, because once the enemy is allowed to climb the city wall, it means that the defense of the city wall has been weakened by more than half.

The attacking side is always aggressive, and the defensive side is always weaker than the offensive side in terms of momentum. Once the wall is hand-to-hand, the defender will be in a weak position psychologically. This is undoubtedly very unfavorable for defense, and the advantages of the wall defense will also disappear slowly.

In order to increase the defensive strength and prevent the Rouran soldiers from climbing the city wall as much as possible, Hua Mulan shouted to Zhao Junsheng: "Zhao Dutong, let your archers step up the countermeasures, no matter how heavy the casualties are, you must send the Rouran archers back to the city wall." suppress the arrogance, otherwise we will always be in a passive position!"

"Okay!" Zhao Junsheng agreed, he hesitated for a moment, but still gave the order: "The archers fight back, shoot all the Rouran archers down!"

Zhao Junsheng originally had a good way to deal with the Rouran archer on the high platform, but now it is Hua Mulan who is in charge. He wants Hua Mulan to experience more actual combat training. Only in this way can she grow up quickly, so all the troubles cannot be taken away. Solve it all for her, she must learn to deal with troubles and get out of trouble.

At this time, Hua Mulan shouted to Zhao Junsheng again: "Zhao Dutong, can your craftsman battalion make temporary large-scale gong nu with long range and powerful power?"

While shooting the arrow, Zhao Junsheng asked, "What do you want to do with it?"

Hua Mulan pointed to the high platform built by the Rouran people: "I want to be like the Rouran people, shoot the crossbow bolts tied with ropes and nail them to the support pillars of the enemy's high platform, and pull them down!"

Zhao Junsheng breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, the solution he thought of just now is this!

"Mulan, this seems like a good idea!"

Hua Mulan raised her shield to block an incoming arrow, and said loudly: "But if you want to do this, you must use a thick arrow shaft and rope to bear enough tension, and such a thick arrow shaft To shoot through and penetrate deep enough, you must have a large gong nu with enough strength!"

Zhao Junsheng stooped to avoid the arrows, walked to the female wall behind and shouted under the city wall: "Pei Jin, Pei Jin!"

When Pei Jin heard the voice, he immediately ran up the city wall. Zhao Junsheng whispered a few words in his ear, and Pei Jin clasped his fists in agreement, then turned and ran down the city wall.

Not long after, Pei Jin came to the city wall with a dozen or so soldiers and a big guy.

"Come and stand in front with some swords and shields, hurry up!" Zhao Junsheng waved his hands and greeted loudly.

Under the protection of the shields of the sword and shield soldiers, the soldiers carried the big guy to the city wall.

Hua Mulan came over with the shield on her head and found that the base of this big guy was like a bed, with three giant bows stacked on top of it, she asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Three-bow bed crossbow!" Zhao Junsheng patted the bed crossbow and replied, "Using this guy can definitely meet your requirements!"

It is not that the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty did not have siege equipment such as bed crossbows, but they were all in the south, and they were still among the troops who served from the fall of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, such as Sima Chuzhi and Wang Huilong. Not at all, and generally not useful.

Therefore, Hua Mulan didn't recognize the bed crossbow as a siege tool, let alone she didn't recognize it, most of the generals and soldiers in the Northern Wei Dynasty didn't recognize it, and they had never seen it.

Siege equipment like the bed crossbow is an important weapon of war. Even the construction method and diagram

The paper was strictly kept secret by the imperial courts of the past dynasties. The Northern Wei Dynasty, which was initially created, did not have such things at all. When the dynasty changed, most of the methods and drawings preserved in the past were destroyed.

Hua Mulan asked curiously: "Three-bow bed crossbow? It's very vivid, how do you use it?"

Zhao Junsheng gestured to one of the soldiers, "Fire the bow!"

"Yes, Dutong!" Bingtou agreed, and immediately sent someone to tie a thick crossbow arrow to a rope, and put the other end of the rope under the city wall behind him.

Hua Mulan walked to the female wall behind and looked down. There were sixteen horses lined up under the city wall. A soldier tied the ropes to the ropes around the sixteen horses. Sixteen knights rode on the horses. Control the horse.

Now Hua Mulan understood that Zhao Junsheng wanted to use these horses as power to pull Rouran's high platform down.

Under the command of Bingtou, a dozen soldiers were shaking the capstan on the left and right sides of the bed crossbow. The noose pulled the bowstring and was held back by the trigger.

"Install crossbow arrows!"

Following the order of the soldier, a soldier placed the thick crossbow bolts that had been tied with ropes in the arrow slots.

"Get out of the way, I'm coming!" Zhao Junsheng walked over and waved his hands. He walked behind the bed crossbow and supported the free-rotating gong nu bow arm with both hands to aim the crossbow arrow at one of the supporting pillars on the high platform.

"Listen well, once the crossbow arrow hits the support pillar, immediately order the cavalry behind to hit the horse and pull it forward with all its strength!"

"Yes, Dutong!"

The arrow pointed at the support pillar, Zhao Junsheng raised his hand, and swung it down violently.

A soldier nearby immediately swung a heavy hammer and smashed it down, the trigger was smashed, and the bowstring popped out like lightning, ejecting the crossbow arrow.

The bowstring made a "buzz", and the crossbow arrow hit the support column of the high platform with a "boom".

A soldier standing by the female wall at the back saw the soldier give a thumbs up, and immediately waved down the flag.
