During the ancient siege, was the siege party not afraid of the ladder being pushed down? Luban: When my invention was watched to play?
Friends who love to watch ancient war movies must be very familiar with the war equipment of the ladder. We know that the role of the ladder is mainly used to climb the city wall and carry out sieges. Ancient ladders, generally with wheels below, so that it can be very convenient to push and drive, so there is also the name of "ladder car". I remember when I was a child, every time I saw a siege scene on TV, I couldn't help but complain: These soldiers on the city wall are really stupid, and if you push the ladder to the enemy, won't you be able to get up? I believe that many people will have the same questions as Xiaobian. So can this kind of ladder used to besiege the city be torn down?
The ladder used in ancient warfare is called the ladder, which belongs to the war-specific equipment and is mainly used for siege. People agree that the ladder was built by Lu Ban in the Spring and Autumn Period, and its appearance made the tall city wall no longer unattainable, thus reducing the difficulty of siege, and the ladder was of great significance to ancient Chinese warfare. Many people think that the defenders of the city can push down the ladder, which is completely impossible. The top of the ancient ladder usually has a solid hook, and when the ladder is placed on the city wall, the hook will hook the wall deadly, generally unable to push down.
The wisdom of the ancient people is infinite, they made the ladder into the shape of a car, called the ladder car, only need people to push it can move. The ladder that existed only in the summer business, the ladder at that time, just like what we saw in the TV series, was a straight ladder, and it fell down when pushed. However, after being changed by Lu Ban later, he made an improved version of the ladder, which is the real ladder, he is very strong, and it is not easy to break. With the development of the times, the needs of war have become this behemoth after countless improvements.
At that time, Lu Ban's original intention of designing the grappling hook was to prevent soldiers from being pushed down by soldiers on the city wall during the siege. In fact, even if there is no grasping hook design, the ladder is not easy to be pushed down, because the ladder is not only huge, but also very heavy, and it is impossible for ordinary people to easily push it. In fact, in the real war, no one will really push the ladder, one is because it really can't be pushed, and the other is because in the process of pushing the ladder, it is very easy to be attacked by the enemy who is climbing the ladder, so to deal with these attacking parties that cannot be driven away like mice, the defender usually uses a long-distance enemy. Instead of negotiating head-on, they shoot with bows and arrows from above.
