Chapter 180： : Letters from Yanzhou

A genius remembers this site address in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! In the offensive and defensive, the siege party occupies the advantage of the number of people, but it is a great test for the quality of the soldiers, you need to look at the six ears Listen to all directions, otherwise it will be the end of death. Suddenly, the boulders of wood on the city, the arrows that come suddenly, these can threaten the lives of the siege soldiers.

The advantage of the defenders is that the wounded soldiers can be transported to the city for treatment without worrying about dying in the chaos.

Liu Bei's brows furrowed by the cars that wrapped the cowhide. His gaze never left these things.

Lu Bu also looked curiously at Cao Jun's secret weapon, what was under the cowhide.

There are many ladders, and those who can be selected to attack the city wall are all the elites of Cao Jun. They move fast and climb quickly, but the woods and rolling stones on the city are life-threatening existences for them.

Approaching the city gate, the cowhide-wrapped thing revealed its true face. This was a rushing cart. More than a dozen soldiers pushed the rushing cart and slammed into the city gate.

With a bang, Lu Bu could feel the entire city wall trembling slightly.

Without Liu Bei's order, there was a boulder that had fallen and smashed the chariot into a mess, and the chariots scattered away. Behind them, another chariot was ready.

Liu Bei's face changed. The car rushing has caused great damage to the city gate. According to this situation, I am afraid that the city gate will be the first to be breached. Although the city gate of Xuzhou is strong, it can't bear to rush the car. The collision of life.

With the advantage of a high altitude, and the guards are on guard, apart from the first time, until now, no other assault vehicles have been able to approach the city gate. The soldier who smashed his leg was wailing under the city, looking weakly at the falling boulder.

In the continuous and non-stop offensive, the city is already densely packed with the corpses of Cao army soldiers. In such a siege, the martial arts are so strong that they can only say nothing in the face of sudden attacks.

The Cao army, who is superior in number, rotates the offensive units, and does not give the defenders a chance to breathe. Even eating can only be solved simply in the city.

It was getting late, and the sound of Mingjin sounded, and Cao Jun retreated like a tide, leaving corpses all over the floor.

After a day’s siege of the city, under the strict defense of the defenders, none of the Cao Jun soldiers attacked the city. The most harmful to the defenders was the Cao Jun’s archers. The archers on Jing Lan were absolutely life-threatening. , But the defending army is helpless about this. There is no long-range attack equipment. If there is a defensive weapon such as a bed crossbow in the city, it only takes ten to make Cao Jun pay a heavy price, but the bed crossbow is a taboo for defending the city in this era. The imperial court has extremely strict control over weapons of class-class, and now I am afraid that only Chang'an City has such a weapon.

The siege battle was a big move for Lu Bu. If the Union State Army wanted to fight abroad, it would inevitably encounter such a siege. How to reduce the loss of soldiers has become a question for Lu Bu. Cao Jun’s siege equipment is still To make it simpler, a rush vehicle that poses a huge threat to the city gate is useless once the defenders are prepared. Besides, if the defenders are pressed into a hurry, the city gate can be completely sealed.

"Yes, what is missing is the equipment for long-range attacks." Lu Bu said to himself.

"Lord, what do you mean by long-range attack?" Guo Jia questioned. Such a battle would have a greater impact on him. He was thinking more about how to attack the same city with the least cost.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just a feeling." Lu Bu said, "No wonder the siege battle was tenfold."

"The lord, go to the army and cut down, and then cut down the acquaintance. Sometimes a strategy can have a surprising effect." Guo Jiadao.

Lu Bu nodded slightly. Guo Jia's words were very reasonable. If he had a cunning plan, it would be much simpler.

As a weapon for long-range attacks, Lu Bu suddenly thought of a stone dumper. If he could throw a piece of stone on the wall, the soldiers would have a greater chance of attacking the wall with the help of a ladder. Although the lethality of the stone is limited, it would be more effective against the defending army. The psychological shadow caused by it is huge. Just imagine that when hundreds of drappers are placed there, would the defenders in the city dare to raise their heads? I’m afraid there is no need to attack. Can collapse.

Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on the corner of Lu Bu's mouth. If Bingzhou had first developed such a thing, he would not be invincible when attacking and defending the city.

Of course, the research on bed crossbows can’t be slacking off. Old man Cheng used to make bed crossbows. Of course, the technology of bed crossbows is more complicated. Relying on Jinyang’s craftsman’s workshop, it may take a lot of time to research it out. In Lu Bu's view, it is simpler and more practical.

"Why is the lord laughing?" Guo Jia was puzzled. After coming down from the city, his lord's performance was a little abnormal.

"Fengxiao, I thought of a good weapon..." Lu Bu explained the purpose of the stone dumper in a low voiceGuo Jia heard his eyes flooding, if Bingzhou could really develop such a weapon , Siege is much easier, can not help but hand in hand: "The lord is wise!"

Lu Bu proudly accepted Guo Jia’s flattery, and then couldn’t wait to inform Jinyang Artisan Workshop. So he found the paper and explained the device until late at night. After carefully sealing it, he gave it to the city’s staff. Flying eagle.

Feiying has been active in Xuzhou City, inquiring about all aspects of the news. After all, the Mi family wants to follow him to Bingzhou. He must take into account the threats to the Mi family in the city, especially the Chen family in recent times. The Cao family kept targeting the Mi family, which required them to be more vigilant.

At the same time in Yanzhou, Chen Liu, the prefect Zhang Miao, received a letter from Lu Bu and invited Chen Gong to discuss matters.

After reading Lu Bu's letter, Chen Gong said: "Lu Buzhi is not in Yanzhou. It is commendable to be able to go to Xuzhou this time, and it is also our lack of thought."

"At the public stage, Cao Cao acted against him and slaughtered civilians. There was a lot of dissatisfaction in Yanzhou. At this time, the main force of Cao's army was in Xuzhou, and Yanzhou was empty. Why not contact Liu Biao of Jingzhou."

Chen Gong's eyes lit up. Although Liu Biao in Jingzhou had no entanglement with Cao Cao before, Cao Cao clearly supported Liu Yu to inherit the Datong, and there was already a rift.

"Now that Liu Yu is dead, the one who inherits the ruler will decide Liu Biaoye, and Liu Biaoxian's name is outside. If you make contact, you will definitely succeed." Chen Gongdao.

After Liu Biao received the letter from Yanzhou, he was a little suspicious. After reading the content of the letter, he was overjoyed. Although he was ambition to develop Jingzhou and settle down in one place, his heart changed since he inherited the hope of Datong. He was naturally dissatisfied with Cao Cao. At the beginning, Cao Cao supported Liu Yu from Youzhou.

Seeking collection, seeking recommendation, seeking reward
