"Brother Qin is early, General Ran is early, everyone is early, everyone is embarrassed, I overslept this morning.

I didn’t expect that everyone got up so early today. It seems that you didn’t sleep well last night!”

Because he thought about the Turkic attack on the city last night, Zhang Yang, who was alone until very late, came to the city tower on the Xiaoguan city wall after early meals today. He had already found that everyone was here, and he was the only one left, so he said embarrassedly.

However, after hearing what Zhang Yang said, everyone responded to Zhang Yang only a few "Haha!" sounds.

However, this cannot be blamed for everyone's reaction to what Zhang Yang said, mainly because it is indeed as Zhang Yang said.

Is this more important? Such an obvious thing is a problem that people can see at a glance. If you need to say it, it is completely nonsense! Everyone present thought so in their hearts.

At the same time, I secretly thought that for the comfort of Xiao Guan, the middle and senior generals of the Tang Dynasty had injected a lot of effort and countless emotions. Otherwise, there would be no need to secretly consider Xiao Guan's safety day and night.

However, if you make efforts, you will naturally get rewards. However, the good or bad of this return cannot be determined before it appears. Okay, then everyone will be happy. If not, that is a complete big cup of tea. Fortunately, this time it is developing towards a positive aspect.

After this night, everyone saw that the other party’s determination to stick to Xiao Guan, which invisibly strengthened his determination.

"Zhang Duwei, you don't need to apologize. Because you came not late, and today is the first time you entered Chen Shi, and it is still a long way from the three-minute Chen Shi that you agreed on yesterday. It can be said that you came early, but we just came earlier."

"That's good, that's good. I just said, I didn't sleep all night last night, and got up early this morning, planning to come here for the morning market. I didn't expect that it was still one step behind you, which made me think I misread the time!"

After hearing Qin Li's words, Zhang Yang looked at the rising sun that slowly rose from the horizon. He said to everyone.

"It seems that you are still like us, and you haven't had a good sleep for this safety of Xiao Guan!

Zhang Duwei, I thought that as a world-famous talented man and a martial arts master today, you will have a much higher vision than us. If you decide that you are even more unfathomable, you will still be as troubled by things as we do!"

The old man sitting cross-legged in a circle besieged the city, looking at the real middle and talking loudly.

"Well, I'm also thinking about Xiao Guan's safety. I didn't get enough rest last night and got up so early. Alas..."

Just as Zhengyang was here, "Ah!", "Ah!", "Ah!", "Ah!", there was a burst of chilling outside the city tower, "Dong! Damn! Damn!" All the people who were still indifferent felt a burst of chill from it!

"It seems that our Turkic friends can no longer wait on the mount with a calm mind today!

Let's go with me, let's go out to see. The Turkic people came to attack the city less than three hours today. Are they fully prepared or bluffing and playing with the plan of the tired army? This is necessary to see with your own eyes."

As Qin Liyan said this, he walked out of the city tower first, intending to find out the Turks. When the others saw Qin Liyan taking the lead in action, they could no longer hold back their curiosity, followed Qin Liyan to the city wall one after another.

Zhang Yang, who followed Qin Liyan to the wall of Xiaoguan, looked outside Xiaoguan and saw two tall buildings standing on the small plain outside the pass, which were so conspicuous and attracting attention.

I saw that the two tall buildings were supported by tall solid wood produced in Liupanshan near Xiaoguan, which was more than four meters high. There was a five-foot wide plate house built at the top. There was an entrance and exit at the bottom of the house. Nails were nailed on the solid wood that was used as support. It seemed that it was for people to climb. It was because someone was climbing up and lying down on the solid wood at this time.

At the bottom of the tall building, there is a base made of huge and solid wood, which is more than twice as large as the five-foot wider board on the top. At the same time, the base is arranged in triangles and is divided into three triangular wooden bases. At the same time, the lower end of the base is buried deep underneath, which looks extremely solid. It seems that the enemy has used the law of triangles.

In addition to the base, Zhang Yang also found that in order to ensure that the high building was not swayed by the strong wind when it encountered the wind, the Turks were unable to stand firmly and fell to the ground. They tied a hemp rope on all four corners of the house. From a distance, they tied the other end to a wooden pile buried deep underground.

It can be seen that the Turks have used a lot of effort to ensure the safety of these two tall buildings and to use them smoothly.

There are many four-meter-long trees. After all, no matter that era, there were no shortage of big trees around Liupan Mountain. Moreover, the four-meter-high trees in the Tang Dynasty were only more than 12 meters. With the original environment at this time and the level of development, it is still easy to find such big trees, and it can be said that they can be found everywhere.

But it should be noted that it is not easy to support a board house that is five feet wide and also to support people up and down. In this way, a tree that is more than ten meters high will be completely out of reach.

If you want to withstand such weight, rootless trees and strong winds, such trees must be tough in texture, wear-resistant, durable, hard and heavy, and high strength. Generally, large and broad-leaved trees cannot meet this requirement.

Not only that, if you want to build such two tall buildings, in addition to finding trees of good texture, you also need to find trees that are large enough, and it must also be very straight without serious distortion or distortion, otherwise it will be useless.

Through Zhang Yang's eyes, he observed that the hard wood used in these two tall buildings was as thick as one person's embrace. Although this was still in the Tang Dynasty, the Liupanshan area of ​​Yuanzhou at this time could also be said to be poor and bad water, with high mountains and dense forests and dense vegetation.

However, it is not easy to find such a big tree that is as thick as one person, and it is so straight. Adding the part to use (the smallest diameter is about 80 cm.) is as much as four feet. Before cutting, it is not possible to take out so many useful materials from a tree above ten feet.

In addition, trees with tough texture, wear-resistant, durable, hard and high strength are usually very slow-growing species. If you want to grow to such a big or so tall, it will take hundreds of years.

Now Xiaoguan is located on the edge of the Liupanshan Mountains. Although the mountains are high and dense, the vegetation is lush, but it also lives on the edge. The size and height of the trees are much smaller than the big trees in the primeval forests in the Liupanshan Mountains. Generally, the big trees are four or five feet high, and the sky is just over seven feet high.

It is very difficult to find such a big tree that is obviously much higher than the average altitude. Although the crane stands out in the flock, you can see at a glance that it is a crane. Similarly, just look for the tallest tree caused by your eyes.

However, the principle that wood is revealed by forest wind will surely destroy it. It comes from trees and then slowly applied to people.

Therefore, it is rare that such a giant tree that is obviously taller than other trees has not been destroyed by wind, rain, thunder and lightning for hundreds of years, and has not been seen by ants and insects in the air.

Such a big tree that was rare in the past year was actually a huge army of Turks. It seems that they have put in a lot of hard work to find two such big trees in Yuanzhou, where they are unfamiliar with their lives, otherwise it would be impossible to find them.

For these two giant trees, the Turks had to pay a considerable price to transport them outside Xiaoguan in such a short time. Zhang Yang admired the Turks' spirit very much.

However, Zhang Yang also thanked Xiaoguan for building the construction of the city walls of Xiaoguan more than three meters high, about half higher than the walls of Chang'an City, the imperial capital of the imperial capital. This was quite difficult in this era without bricks and stones.

However, if Xiaoguan also built a city wall of one to two meter high according to ordinary standards, then the Turks would not have spent so much effort to find such two trees. After all, a city wall of more than two meter high is generally a big tree of seven meter high.

After comparing these two tall buildings and the siege equipment in his memory, Zhang Yang confirmed that this is the Honk Tower!

In addition to Xiaoguan, in addition to the two towers built 150 steps from Xiaoguan, Zhang Yang also saw another sharp weapon between the two towers yesterday, crashing into the car. Looking at this giant figure that was almost eight feet tall, one meter long and six feet wide, Zhang Yang felt a deep chill all over his body, especially the collision hammer three feet above the ground on the car.

The diameter of the collision hammer is more than 60 centimeters, plus the length of more than 1 zhang, and more than 20 people exert force at the same time, which is a great consideration for the toughness and defense of Xiaoguan's city gate.

In addition to the first time, Zhang Yang saw that the cloud ladders used by the Turks were several times the burned yesterday, with as many as sixty or seventy. With the stairs held by more than two thousand people near him, it seems that today is inevitable to have a fierce battle! (The stairs are wooden ladders with flying hooks. During the war, a stairs were supported by twenty people at the same time and rushed towards the city wall to attack. First, hook the flying hooks on the top of the stairs on the city wall, let the stairs be firmly hung on the city wall, and then climbed by people.)

Apart from these things, Zhang Yang did not find any other powerful siege tools. For example, since the Turks had already built two towers, there was no need to build a tool like the mediocre person who could inquire about the enemy's situation.

At the same time, due to the geological reasons of Xiaoguan, at the location of Xiaoguan City Wall, when the Xiaoguan City Wall was built, the soil under the city wall was already dug out. When it was dug until three feet underground, all the soil under the Xiaoguan City Wall was already dug out, and the bottom was full of hard stones.

The foundation of Xiaoguan is also made of stones collected on the cliffs on both sides of the nearby river. It is extremely hard and indestructible, which directly eliminates the idea of ​​the enemy digging tunnels into the city to attack.

Since the tunnel cannot be dug, there is no place to use it for digging tunnel trucks.

In addition, the outer edge of the Xiaoguan city wall is also made of the same material as the foundation. Each piece is made of rectangular giant stone weighing hundreds of kilograms, which also makes the Turkish carts have no possibility of direct operation of the city wall.

If hundreds of kilograms of hard rocks are destroyed by simply slashing and destroying them with a simple knife, I don’t know how much time it will take. Even if you don’t cut the sword, you will want to pry such a heavy rock, and there are countless stones and soil on the rocks that are suppressed by human power, it is almost impossible to pry. Therefore, even if the Turks built carts, there is no place to use it.

Of course, the entire Xiaoguan faces the city wall of Lingzhou for several miles, and the foundation under the entire city wall is only dug a few feet at most. There are still many places that do not touch the huge rock ore veins underground, but this is also innocuous.

Apart from these small places, outside the building of the Xiaoguan City Wall, no one knows where the tunnel needs to be excavated to dig through the Xiaoguan City Wall, enter Xiaoguan, and launch an attack.

At the same time, even if the Turks knew that several of them were harmless, after all, even if they were digging tunnels and attacking, the number of people was small, and they were less than the only ones to face Xiaoguan, which was guarded by the heavy army, so they did not have much precautions to the enemy to dig tunnels, unless it was an era of large-scale use of gunpowder, at that time, the defense of the city walls would be greatly reduced.

Besides, the city wall of Xiaoguan is quite high and thick. The city wall with a height of three zhang wide at the top is more than one zhang wide, reaching more than four zhang. In this way, according to the principle of small top and large top, if you want to dig a tunnel of several zhang, if you have fewer people, you will have to be busy until the year of the Monkey and Horse Month. If there are too many people, the movement will naturally be great. With the listening tank in the city, you will definitely be able to hear the movement.

As for the giant siege machinery such as Linzhang Lu Gongche, they could not create such a giant siege machinery, with the technical level of the Turks at this time, so Zhang Yang had no concern at all.

Zhang Yang was concerned about the other way at this time, with amazing lethality and amazing attack distance. The terrifying weapon, known as the "God of War" in the Age of Cold Weapons, was a catapult. However, after Zhang Yang looked around and after a circle, he finally confirmed that the Turks did not participate in the siege in this siege, which made him feel much more at ease. After all, this catapult is the most lethal weapon in the Age of Cold Weapons.

Moreover, the lethality of this thing is to people, morale, or buildings, even if it is as strong as Xiaoguan, facing the continuous attack of huge rocks from a large number of catapults, some of the city may be destroyed and killed. (To be continued)!~!
