Feng Daor and Yingtu hurried back with their men. They were beaten and fled without any ability to fight back. After returning, Lu Yun thought he was happy.
"How are they? Are they particularly weak? This castle should be easy to capture, right?"
Finally, Feng Daoer said weakly, "Emissary Lu, I'm very sorry, I failed. The army I led was simply no match for the enemy, and we didn't even inflict many casualties on them.
Their castle is built very secretly, so it is difficult for us to shoot arrows into their castle."
"Besides that, they built a moat around the castle. The river is very wide, and we can only build a bridge or a ladder to cross it."
"But it's not that easy to get over there using a ladder."
"They also set up wooden spikes and traps in the river. In certain weather conditions, if we fall into the water, we will die immediately and won't be able to swim out."
"Not every one of our soldiers is a master archer, so not every one of them can shoot arrows into their castle and injure the enemy."
Lu Yun suddenly understood after hearing this, but he still felt helpless in his heart!
How come you are so weak?
Do we have to do this?
"You are truly useless. I don't believe they can be that difficult to defeat. However, according to your description, this time the Persian generals are quite clever. They know how to use the castle to fight us."
"What's important is that they've made full use of the moat."
Lu Yun also praised such an opponent, saying that at least it allowed him to deal with it with some wisdom.
It was not like the situation we encountered before, which was simply a war between barbarians.
"What should I do, Envoy Lu? They are too powerful. I am worried..."
Lu Yun shook his head slightly, "It's not a big deal."
He thought, since their castle was indestructible, if the enemy really wanted to use the castle to attack him, then there would be no problem at all.
In fact, as long as people go to the moat, they can launch an attack on their city gates from inside the moat. At that time, they can break in and force them to open the city gates.
If the enemy really wants to stay inside, I can also use the hammer! The huge hammer, thrown with the help of the slingshot, can directly break through the defenses of Dawn Island!
Or he could use fire attacks, also using iron balls to project or fireballs! After all, their castles were built with wood and stone, so under constant hammering, the castles would catch fire.
"Simple!"
"But we need to be prepared."
"Gather all the soldiers in the barracks. Although we lack carpenters, we can work with them to do many things. We need to build a huge catapult, hammers and other weapons within half a month."
Lu Yun thought that the Persian Empire should not be particularly difficult, so they did not manufacture any large engineering weapons such as catapults, but they were indeed needed this time, so he only needed to make one or two.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to take that long. With more than 40,000 people working together to make something, it will definitely be very fast.
So, Lu Yunyuan drew what he needed on the blueprint, and then asked the carpenters to implement it. They first needed to make a huge wooden board!
In other words, this wooden board needs to be like a city gate, so that people can directly reach the other side of the moat through it.
This is relatively simple! If they need to build multiple wooden boards, they can enter the bottom of the castle wall.
In this way, after five days, with the efforts of so many people, they finally created two super-large catapults and wooden boards.
After the preparations were completed, Lu Yun directly led the troops to launch an attack. This kind of war tests wisdom, so he did not charge forward. He and Zhao Yueyao chose to stand back and see what happened to these elite soldiers.
They can't always rely on these two people to help them defeat the enemy like gods, and then let these soldiers take action. That won't train them at all.
Especially these soldiers, they have to follow me to attack the Han Empire. If they don't train, they will be useless in the future. Then what's the point of me working so hard to bring so many soldiers for revenge? They will still fail!
Soon their army arrived outside the castle of Yade City.
Only after seeing this majestic and solemn castle with perfect fit did Lu Yun finally react.
They had to admit that this castle was incredibly huge. It was not easy for them to use bows and arrows to kill the soldiers in the castle.
With the help of this castle, they were able to hold out for a long time.
But it’s their bad luck to meet me!
Lu Yun quickly launched the attack. He first ordered the soldiers holding wooden boards to divide into ten groups and lay them directly outside their moat. Once these wooden boards fell, they could accurately extend to the other side of the moat.
It is indeed not easy to find a lot of such long wood, but what they did was to graft these woods together and use them as a transition bridge to make it less complicated.
In addition, there are a lot of people, so they can be produced quickly.
On top of the castle, Ye Jiajia watched them trying to cross the moat and attack his own gate directly. He did not hesitate to order his men to shoot arrows and throw stones.
At the same time, they also adopted the method of fire attack. As long as their wood was set on fire and oil was poured on their bodies, their wooden boards would be useless.
When Lu Yun learned about this not far away, he was also shocked, because he did not expect that the general in the castle would be able to command. This was beyond his imagination!
Now that I have met such a good talent, I can make good use of him. Let him take the initiative and see who can get the upper hand!
"Someone come!"
"Don't load up the catapults. Throw those huge stones at the weakest part of their castle, the small opening!"
The weakest point in the castle was the small openings through which archers could shoot arrows! As long as they kept firing at these openings, the beams supporting them would naturally collapse.
These huge stones were thrown out by the catapults at an extremely fast speed, causing the castle to shake and some debris to appear in the castle.
Seeing this, Ye Jiajia was a little panicked at this moment. Why didn't the enemy follow the routine she imagined, but actually used a catapult!
"Why do I feel like I've seen this before..."
