total war rise of empire

Chapter 78 The Deterrent Power of Military Appearance
The ladder car first originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period of China. It was a siege weapon invented by the skilled craftsman Gongshupan (that is, Lu Ban) of the State of Lu. It was originally built to help the King of Chu expand!

The ladder car system consists of three parts: the bottom is equipped with wheels, which can be moved; the ladder body can be tilted up and down, carried by manpower, and leaned on the wall of the city; the top of the ladder is equipped with a hook for hooking the edge of the city. And it can protect the ladder head from being rejected and destroyed by the defenders.

Since the chassis of the aerial ladder vehicle is very large, and it can be hooked to the city wall, it is impossible for the enemy soldiers guarding the top of the city to push the aerial ladder vehicle down!
The army siege in that kind of TV drama, carrying a batch of wooden frames to the city wall, is purely suicidal. There is one thing that is not exaggerated in the TV series. As long as everyone works together, it can be easily overthrown...

In a real ancient siege battle, as long as the commander of the siege side was not kissed by a donkey on the forehead, or was forced into a desperate situation and had to attack the city unprepared, it would be impossible for that kind of wooden frame to appear during the siege. In urban battle!

Siege with wooden frames in the TV series is not only irresponsible to the lives of soldiers, but also a very good way to reduce the winning rate and morale of one's own side...

When the climbing siege soldiers are overthrown with ladders and men, it will definitely open the eyes of the soldiers behind. After seeing such a spectacular scene, how many of the soldiers dare to climb up that high-risk wooden shelf?
What's more, this kind of wooden frame is not stable at all. If you want to rely on it to climb the city wall, how much do you have to be overturned?
Even if it is an ant-attached siege, basically a real ladder is used!

The act of overturning the ladder performed on TV is just for entertainment...

In fact, the ladder truck is an indispensable standing tool in siege warfare. The trebuchet is optional, but the ladder must be there!The ladder truck has also been continuously improved with the passage of war times!
In the end, a siege vehicle was derived, but it was something that could only be produced by a third-level arsenal. Lei Zihao was limited by finances and had not yet started to upgrade the arsenal...

----

A few days later, Li Qingmei twisted her beautiful breasts and looked at Lei Zihao in military uniform with displeasure: "Lei Zihao, when you go out to kill and fight, can you not take me with you?
I am at least a woman. Is it really good for you to let a weak woman accompany you to look at the corpse? ! "

"Eh~ Meier, you are very weak, but I remember that you never vomited on the corpse, besides, I didn't bring you with me to let you see the corpse."

"Yeah! Lei Zihao! Do you want me to make it clear?! You beast, you can't help it in such a short time to go on an expedition!!!"

"Oh, by the way, I have some good news for you. My body is different from ordinary people. The things I ejaculate are great for you. It can beautify your skin and prolong your life!"

Li Qingmei had blue veins popping out of her forehead, she felt that her IQ was being trampled on, Lei Zihao actually said such absurd remarks with confidence!

However, she also understood Lei Zihao's determination. She seemed to have lost all her strength and fell limply on one side. She replied helplessly: "Hey, if I had known that you were a humanoid animal, I would never have married him even if I had died." for you……"

Lei Zihao didn't care about Li Qingmei's disbelieving attitude, but simply took her little hand, and comforted him: "In the future, you will know my benefits, come on, let's conquer the Pylos people together, the time for this expedition may be It will take longer, because I want to completely remove the Pylos people from the peninsula and re-establish a kingdom that belongs to us!"

Li Qingmei's eyes flashed, and her emotions turned back: "You want to become the emperor? If that's the case, can I be the queen?"

Li Qingmei's eyes suddenly shone with starlight. It seemed that as long as she could become a queen, even if she was accompanied by a human animal, it would not be a big problem for her...

Lei Zihao smiled calmly, neither affirmed nor denied, but just pulled Li Qingmei onto the horse.

This time, Li Qingmei didn't resist, and sat obediently in front of Lei Zihao, obediently letting Lei Zihao put his arms around her waist, breathing greedily through her hair!

'Hmph~ Men are all the same, a group of creatures who think about life with their lower body! Feeling the big hands on her waist, Li Qingmei fantasized about the great prospect of becoming a queen in the future, and once again despised Lei Zihao in her heart...

The surrounding Spartan guards and Freya had long been accustomed to the unscrupulousness of their governor, and tacitly turned their heads to one side and moved forward!

If someone looks from a high place, they can see groups of soldiers wearing black armor and pointed iron helmets, lining up in a long snake marching array, surging forward in neat steps!
When a thousand heavy infantrymen with shields in one hand and spears in the other drove into the city gate of Megara, the Seris civilians along the main road were completely shocked by this scene. The Seris security militia, the so-called yamen servants, are not much better than those dumbfounded Siris civilians. Even in the heyday of the Seris Kingdom, this kind of military appearance was rare!
Behind the orderly shield and spear heavy infantry, there is a thousand-man team holding bows and arrows, followed by a thousand-man cavalry team that made the commoners of Siris exclaim!

To the civilians of Siris, the troops in front could only be regarded as well-organized, but the sudden appearance of a thousand Lancer troops made the entire city of Megara boil!

The Greek peninsula lacked pastures suitable for raising horses. Even in the Imperial Guard of the Kingdom of Seris, [-] cavalry was almost the limit!

What's more, these cavalrymen have a complete set from armor to lance, and anyone with a little knowledge of military affairs will understand what it represents!
At this moment, the common people of Seris were convinced by the governor who married the eldest princess!

If Lei Zihao inquired about the hearts of the people in Megara City at this time, he would find that shortly after the army entered the city, the hearts of the people had improved from satisfaction to happiness!
In the city occupied by Lei Zihao, apart from the temple buildings and the governor's mansion, there are no other buildings that can increase the popularity of the people. It is very difficult to improve the popularity of the people. Every level of improvement represents a huge change in the hearts of the whole city!
Happiness is already the third largest level behind all-out support and loyalty!
After reaching the loyalty level, it will be the same as Lei Zihao's main city Minzhong. On the strategic map in the Total War system, Megara City will also become a green Minzhong city!

Only when the people occupying the city turn green will they truly support Lei Zihao's rule!
