Three Kingdoms: The ghost plotter taught Liu Bei to seize Jingzhou first

Everyone was shocked, with strange expressions on their faces.

If you want to break through the earth mountain, you can only use a trebuchet to have a chance to collapse the earth mountain.

But the problem is that everyone knows that the power and accuracy of the existing trebuchets are simply not enough to destroy the mountain.

This thunder, Cao Cao had already waded through for them during the Battle of Guandu.

Only the Thunderbolt Chariot built by Liu Ye for Cao Cao, this improved trebuchet, had the power to destroy Tushan.

But why did our Prime Minister Deng declare that Cao Cao's mountain can be destroyed without a thunderbolt chariot?

Everyone is confused

"Ziyu, if we don't use a thunderbolt chariot, how can we defeat Cao's thieves? Liu

Bei asked with confusion on his face.

"Use this thing."

Deng Mu called Zhou Cang closer and gave some instructions.

Zhou Cang understood and hurried away.

Liu Bei and everyone looked at each other, but they couldn't figure out what medicine Deng Mu was selling in the gourd.

For a moment.

Zhou Cang After leaving and returning, he still held a scroll in his arms.

Deng Mu took the scroll and spread it on the wall.

Liu Bei and others squinted their eyes and stared at the scroll carefully.

On the scroll, it seemed that It was a drawing of some kind of machine. It looked familiar, but for a moment I couldn't figure out what it was.

"Ziyu, this is..."

Liu Bei looked at Deng Mu blankly.

"Your Majesty, this thing the Prime Minister brought seems to be a painting of a trebuchet."

Zhao Yun was the first to see the doorway.

Liu Bei and everyone were reminded and took a closer look at what Zhao Yun said.

Sure enough, the pictures were very similar to the trebuchet.

Could it be that what Deng Mu painted was actually a thunderbolt chariot? How to make it?

Liu Bei and everyone looked at each other suddenly, and the same thoughts suddenly came to their minds, and their expressions instantly turned into surprise.

Liu Bei suddenly remembered that Deng Mu had a wife Huang Yueying who was good at making weapons!

At that time, that company The crossbow was made by Huang Yueying!

And with Huang Yueying's intelligence, it is not difficult to figure out how to build a thunderbolt chariot!

"Ziyu, could this be another masterpiece of your wife? She also figured out Cao Cao's Thunderbolt Chariot? Liu

Bei came back to his senses and asked excitedly.

"The king is so awesome, he actually guessed that this thing was made by a bitch"

"Yes, this picture was indeed painted by a humble concubine, but..."

Deng Mu changed the subject and said:

"What I painted was not a thunderbolt car, but a Xiangyang cannon!"

Xiangyang Cannon?

This unheard of but extremely strange name made Liu Bei and everyone shocked when they heard it.

Xiangyang Cannon is the most powerful trebuchet throughout the ages.

This object was used by the Mongolian army in the Mongolian and Song Dynasties to break through the indestructible Xiangyang City was a specially built weapon for bombing the city using the principle of counterweight. It was with this weapon that the Mongolian army destroyed Xiangyang City, which had been defended for decades, and then defeated the Jianghan defense line of the Song Dynasty, and finally destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty..

This trebuchet was also named Xiangyang Cannon because it destroyed Xiangyang. Deng Mu only had a rough idea of ​​the style of the Xiangyang Cannon. Originally, he could not draw the design with his own ability.

But it was good. Fortunately, he has his wife Huang Yueying, a weapons expert.

So after he provided sketches and design concepts, Huang Yueying drew the design drawing of the Xiangyang cannon after a long period of study. This drawing was probably drawn in Laos When Liu proclaimed himself king and established the capital at Xiapi,

Huang Yueying and other darling wives and concubines moved to the Prime Minister's Mansion in Xiapi and dedicated this picture to him.

Deng Mu then thought about this decisive battle with Wei, Xiangyang It was very likely that the cannon would come in handy, so he carried it with the army.

Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the war, it would be used so quickly.

"Ziyu, is the power of this Xiang... Xiangyang cannon really comparable to Cao Cao's thunder chariot?"

"Also, why is this trebuchet called the Xiangyang Cannon?"

After Liu Bei came back to his senses, he asked in surprise.

The eyes of Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and others all turned to Deng Mu, and they were also full of curiosity.

"This Xiangyang cannon... was inspired by Ji Nei's time in Xiangyang, so it was named Xiangyang cannon."

"At this point, I can confidently say that the power of this Xiangyang cannon is ten times that of a thunderbolt chariot!"

Ten times the thunderbolt chariot?

These five words roared in the ears like thunder, making Old Liu and all the ministers take a breath.

The power of the thunderbolt chariot is already terrifying enough.

It can even destroy mountains. Collapse!

The power of this Xiangyang cannon is ten times that of the Thunderbolt Chariot?

Is this still a trebuchet?

It is simply an artifact!

"Is this thing really so powerful?"

Liu Bei once again stared at the Xiangyang cannon drawings, his eyes filled with wonder.

Zhuge Liang also came forward and thought about it carefully. His originally shocked eyes gradually showed the expression of shock and admiration.

"The construction method of this Xiangyang cannon is indeed very different from ordinary trebuchets, and it may have unimaginable power!"

Zhuge Liang also has some knowledge of mechanical skills and saw some clues.

The surprise on Liu Bei's face disappeared in the blink of an eye and turned into incomparable belief.

"The repeating crossbow made by your honorable lady is ten times more powerful than an ordinary crossbow machine!"

"Then it’s not surprising that she built this Xiangyang cannon, which is ten times more powerful than the Thunderbolt Chariot."

"Ziyu said that this thing can break Cao Cao's earth mountain, so it can definitely break it! Liu

Bei had no doubts about Deng Mu and immediately shouted:

"Upon passing this king's order, all the craftsmen in each camp were immediately summoned, and another two thousand people were assigned to cut wood day and night to drive away this Xiangyang cannon!"

The king's order was passed down.

The camp was immediately mobilized.

Thousands of trees were cut down, and more than a thousand weapon craftsmen, following the drawings given by Deng Mu, worked day and night to build them.

In order to ensure that they could defeat Cao Cao, Caught off guard, Liu Bei specifically ordered to set up camp in a remote place behind the barrier, and secretly built the Xiangyang cannon. So when the Wei army was carrying earth and stones, and building mountains of earth day and night, the Yan army was also working day and night to control this. Xiangyang artillery.

Thirteen days later, more than fifty steps in front of the Yan army's fortress, forty earth mountains with a height of three feet were already standing in front of them.

It was dusk.

Cao Cao rode his horse and whipped his whip and advanced under the earth mountains.

In Dian Under the protection of Wei and other personal guards, Cao Cao panted and climbed the mountain.

Looking down, he could clearly see the ten-mile Yan army barrier.

The Yan army inside the barrier had obviously been prepared.

The tents had been moved back. , the soldiers all raised their shields high, ready to withstand the suppression of Wei's sharp arrows.

"Your Majesty, Liu Bei seems to be well prepared! Tian

Feng pointed in the direction of Yan Jun and said.

Cao Cao smiled coldly and said sarcastically:

"We blatantly built a mountain of earth in front of the Big Ear bandit camp. As long as he was not blind, how could he not guess my intention? It is reasonable to be prepared."

"I want to see how long the big-eared thief and his soldiers can last!"(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

After speaking, Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi and said coldly:

".Zhongda, let the big-eared thief also have a taste of the torture I suffered from Yuan Shao back then."

Sima Yi smiled coldly and shouted loudly:

"The king had an order, and all the crossbowmen obeyed the order and immediately climbed up the mountain and suppressed the Yan army's barrier with random arrows!"

The war drums sounded.

More than 5,000 Wei army crossbowmen climbed to the top of the mountain in an orderly manner.

Five thousand strong bows and hard crossbows, aiming down at the Yan army's barrier.

The flags were shaken.

Five thousand sharp arrows, almost Launched at the same time, like a storm, they shot down overwhelmingly.

Arrows fell.

Screams rang out.

Although the Yan army was well prepared, the soldiers either held their shields high or hid under the wall.

But the Wei army's crossbowmen, after all, Occupying a commanding advantage, the location of the Yan army was clearly visible.

Some Yan soldiers who did not defend carefully were immediately injured by the arrow rain and fell to the ground screaming.

However, although the Yan army was injured, the number was only more than ten. For the 150,000 Yan army, these casualties were not even a drop in the bucket.

Cao Cao was not in a hurry.

The purpose of Tushan's plan was not to kill or injure many Yan soldiers, but to keep the Yan army at death's door at all times. Under the threat, long-term high pressure was used to crush the morale of the Yan Army.

Just imagine.

As a Yan Army soldier, you have to hide and shrink at all times, and your nerves must be kept tense at all times to guard against unknown situations. The cold arrows will come.

In a short period of time, the Yan soldiers can barely hold on (Li Zhaohao).

As time goes by, even the elite men with a will as strong as steel will be driven crazy by the pressure.

By then.

The morale of the Yan army is low and their morale is frustrated. How can the soldiers still have the will to fight to the death?

If Liu Bei is wise, he will have no choice but to abandon the barrier and retreat eastward, or even abandon Suiyang and retreat to Pengcheng.

If he still wants to resist forcefully, he will have 150,000 soldiers. The army then launched an all-out attack and defeated Liu Bei's 150,000 exhausted troops in one go.

"Zhongda, let's see how long the big-eared thief can last under your scheme!"

Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi with a sarcastic and approving look, and Sima Yi smiled coldly and confidently judged:

"I estimate that the Big-Eared Bandits will be able to hold out for at least a month before they must abandon their camp and retreat eastward."

Cao Cao laughed loudly, stroked his short beard, and continuedInterested in admiring Yan Jun's embarrassment[]

Inside the Yan army barrier.

Liu Bei and Deng Mu also looked sarcastically at this moment, looking at the rampant Wei army on the mountain.

"I guess that Cao Cao must be on a certain mountain at this moment, proudly watching the bustle of our army."

"Your Majesty, let him understand Yuan Shao's original fear."

Deng Mu looked at Liu Bei with a sneer.

Liu Bei smiled and shouted happily:

"Send the order and drag all our Xiangyang cannons into the barrier!".
