Amid the sound of the horns, special "lifting platforms" were carried by soldiers and approached the city wall.

This type of lifting platform is a bamboo and wood rectangular rectangular body, divided into two layers, with several high-profile elevated frames on both sides.

These herringbone elevated towers are five or six meters tall, symmetrical on both sides, and connected with crossbars on the top, which is very stable.

Because the lifting platform is light and sturdy "prefabricated parts" and has a low center of gravity, it can be directly transported and used on the battlefield.

The usage is very simple: the soldiers took lifting platforms one by one and came to the edge of the trench about forty steps away from the city, and placed the lifting platform horizontally (parallel to the trench and the city wall).

Under the cover of archers, the "engineering soldiers" of Dongye Camp fixed the base to ensure it was horizontal, and then grouped to pull the hemp rope hanging from the herringbone elevated roof on both sides.

There are pulleys at the top of the elevated frame. After the hemp rope is folded back by the pulley, it is tied to the edge of the upper flat plate of the lifting platform.

Amid the uniform slogans, the engineers pulled the ropes to slowly rise the upper floor of the lifting platform, and quickly rose to the top, nearly six feet from the ground.

It's taller than the city wall.

Then, the engineers wearing rod-mounted buckles quickly climbed onto the top of the herringbone elevated rack, took out prefabricated firmware, and fixed the bottom of the platform and the elevated rack together.

At the same time, the others lifted the long herringbone and laid it diagonally on the edge of the platform. The engineers on the platform used nails to nail them to the platform to strengthen support.

A large number of lifting platforms are "constructed" and spliced ​​at the same time, and then they are connected to each other at the ends. Soon they become a "bamboo and wood high platform" parallel to the city wall and slightly shorter, with simple railings on both sides of the roof.

On the side of the city, wooden boards that had been prefabricated in advance were used as cover, and a large number of archers climbed the platform along the long bamboo ladder to prepare for battle.

While building the platform, many soldiers carried sacks and rushed towards the city walls on the trench bridges set up on the trench.

When I came to the foot of the city wall, I put the cloth bag on the ground, and built a low cloth bag wall that was roughly parallel to the city wall, about two or three steps apart.

Then, because the fire at the top of the city became smaller, the defenders appeared again and wanted to shoot against Liang Jun archers who had climbed the bamboo and wood platform.

Liang Jun archers shot out fire arrows, ignited the cloth bag wall at the foot of the wall, and a large amount of pungent smoke came out, spreading upward along the city wall. Because the slight southeast wind was blowing, thick smoke filled the city.

There were a lot of spicy things such as dogwood in the sack. The smoke produced by the burning made the defenders on the city continue to cough and tears in their eyes.

It is difficult to aim in such a state. Even though the person is on the top of the city, he is suppressed by Liang Jun archers on the platform opposite, and he soon dares not appear.

Zhang Ying was very impressed by this suppression method. If, according to Li Li’s statement, the projected firepower of the guard side was now suppressed.

Then, the third wave of attack began.

Countless soldiers carried long bamboo ladders forward, passed through the hollow bamboo and wood platform, crossed the trenches, and rushed towards the city wall.

At this time, most of the cigarette bags at the foot of the wall had burned and were completely wiped out by the soldiers with water.

There is a roller at the top of the city ladder. After it is pushed onto the city wall, as the rear end continues to exert force, it will "reflect" upwards. When it is about to approach the battlement of the city, the soldiers will fix the end of the ladder.

Because the ladder is very long, it forms an acute angle with the ground at this time, and even if someone on the top of the city wants to push the ladder open, it won’t work.

A dense cloud ladder was placed on the top of the city, and the engineers raised herringbone and supported the middle section of the ladder, and then countless soldiers climbed the ladder and climbed towards the top of the city.

Because there are many shelves in the middle of the ladder and the load-bearing capacity has been greatly increased, each ladder is covered with soldiers, densely packed like ants climbing trees.

The defenders on the city wall were suppressed by archers on the high platform and could not attack these living targets.

The first soldier at the top of each ladder stopped under the stack of arrows and did not rush over. He waited for the sound of a horn to "climb" under the cover of the archers on the high platform behind him.

The casualties of the first death toll were extremely high, but they bought time. Afterwards, countless soldiers climbed the city one by one, and more and more Liang soldiers occupied the city.

On the ground, Zhang Ying looked at his soldiers climbing to the top of the city in amazement. Seeing that more and more soldiers climbing to the city, he couldn't believe it: That's what happened?

"Of course, if you want to siege quickly, you have to rely on the prefabricated parts to quickly splice the city into the city."

"First splice out a high platform that is no lower than the city wall, then the archers come on stage to suppress the defenders, the engineers set up a ladder and reinforce it with herringbones, and the soldiers can climb the city."

"Under the cover of high-stage archers, as long as there are enough ladders and enough soldiers to climb the city at the same time, they can quickly capture the city and allow more soldiers to climb the city."

"So, my method of siege is to quickly assemble prefabricated parts as high platforms. Prefabricated parts must be made in advance according to the unified size. When siege, skilled workers splice them on site. This fast attack method can attack such small cities, which is very convenient."

Zhang Ying felt incredible: "I'm afraid no one can do this kind of 'prefabricated components' quickly splicing it? Why are they so skilled?"

"Didn't I say that I have practiced the dormitory and expanded and built various facilities in Dongye before!"

"Where are nails? Haven't you heard of such nails before?"

"I know how to make nails." Li Li pointed to his head, "Pu Nail is also called the word "Pu Nail". It has a simple structure and can be made as long as there is iron. Dongye does not lack iron, so he did a lot in advance."

Zhang Ying asked again: "Then, where is the rod-mounting buckle? I have never seen it."

Li Li still pointed at his head: "There is here."

The rod-mounting buckle was a must-have tool for power maintenance personnel to climb old-fashioned telephone poles in later generations. It is easy to get started and is used to climb pillars and poles, which is the most suitable one.

Zhang Ying looked at the bamboo and wood platform in front of him and felt refreshed. He had never fought a war, but had read books. Li Li used siege equipment and methods, and it seemed that he had never seen books record it.

Of course, maybe it was just ignorant.

Zhang Ying, who felt that he was ignorant, could not attack the city. However, the generals who had fought for decades saw that they had already attacked the city, and the south gate slowly opened, they felt that they were dreaming.

The white-haired veteran Pei Zhigao looked up at the sun and found that the sun had not reached its top yet. He looked at the platform that was quickly built, which was incredible.

"It's less than half a day..."

Pei Zhigao murmured, looking at each other with several other generals.

In this way, is the siege we siege a few days ago?

Next to him, Xiao Si, the prince of the Poyang King, was very happy to see his troops rushing into the city through the city gate. Li Li's siege skills were indeed powerful. So according to Li Li's plan, next...

Maybe it will be done!

Before, Li Li offered suggestions to use new tactics to break through the rebel interception and remove the siege of Taicheng. Xiao Si thought it was impossible at first, but today, Li Li confirmed his ability to siege the city.

Therefore, Xiao Si recognized Li Li's new tactics and felt that it should be feasible.

Xiao Fang, the prince of Xiangdong who was watching the battle together, was very excited to see that he easily captured Dongfu City and clenched his fists with both hands: "Li Li is indeed capable, and he actually understands the art of siege!"

"Then I will lift the siege of Taicheng, and I may have a little bit of confidence."

The guards found it strange: "First time, he can just attack the city, not charge."

Xiao Fang and others laughed and said, "You can rely on weapons to kill the enemy. You can also rely on weapons to break through the enemy's camp!"
