Chapter 148: Aerial Artillery Attack of a Battle to the Death

In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Cao Cao's sneak attack on Wuchao took only half the night, but in fact, this is unrealistic, Wuchao is fifty miles away from the Guandu camp in a straight line, and Cao's cavalry has to bypass the defense line of Yuan Shaojun's front line, especially even if it is a full cavalry team, the army can't run too fast, otherwise after the war horse is weak, it will also be unable to launch a strong enough charge.

The night basically had to be used for hurrying, and the time to launch a decisive attack, after arriving at the destination, Cao Jun also needed to rest for a while, at least early the next morning.

However, the attack was launched a day in advance, after all, it disrupted the offensive plan of the Yuan army in Hebei, and launched an offensive of 100,000 people is not something that can be started in a word, the mobilization of the war, the placement of the troops, it takes time, and the strategic suppression of the Cao army bought Wang Hou half a day.

But what should have come has come after all!

At nine o'clock in the morning, the thunderous drums rang out in front of the Yuan army's barracks, and in Cao Junjun's town, Xu You, who was still hungover in the officer's hot spring building, suddenly woke up suddenly, turned over in disbelief, and shouted loudly in his cloak.

"Where do you hit the drums? Where did the war start? Isn't the decisive battle starting tonight? ”

But in the past two days, Cao Cao, who was respectful to him and obedient, did not come out, and Liu Ye, the Taishou who was ordered to entertain him, did not appear, and there was not even a waiter, leaving him alone in the hot spring hall that had cooled down like a mad dog.

At this time, whether it was Cao Jun or Yuan Jun, all the officers and generals were all squatting on their command positions, staring at each other with blood-red eyes.

In the watchtower in the middle gate of the Chinese army, Wang Hou finally took back the huge small cannon tube telescope he built with ten catties of brass and four large crystals, and he also replaced Cao Cao's position and stood in the command seat of the commander of the three armies, but squatting in front of the telescope, Wang Hou was far less calm and calm than Mr. Cao, looking at the Yuan army camp opposite, he was even trembling slightly with excitement.

No move, the life and death of 20,000 people, or even more than 20,000 people, just like Prince Dong Cheng's rebellion, if this battle is lost, the Cao regime falls, Xu Du doesn't know how many people have to be implicated to lose their heads, at least his family's son Cao Hongjie will definitely not be able to keep it, these are tied to himself, and Wang Hou is not allowed to be nervous!

Compared with Wang Hou, the Yuan army on the opposite side is actually not easy, the four states of Hebei are pouring into the nest, and all the soldiers who are dispatched are elite soldiers, and it has been more than half a year now, and the loss of soldiers will not be able to gnaw Cao Cao's more than 30,000 horses, this time it is even necessary to make a strategic exchange, if Cao Cao is not in the camp, and he can't gnaw the Guandu camp in the first war, Yuan Shao can also not fight for the world, and he can go home.

Therefore, the various troops of the confrontation are estimated to have received a death order, Gao Ran, Zhang He's flag is at the forefront, and the front army is all led by strong men with big shoulders and round waists, and there are even some foreign warriors recruited from Wuhuan and the Huns, holding big axes among them, and they are killing one by one.

Even Yuan Shao appeared on the battlefield in person, facing the dirt mountain of the Guandu camp, and several Yuanzi banners flew with the morning wind hunting.

However, it can be seen that Yuan Shao is particularly jealous of Cao Jun's return to the heavy artillery, today he is not standing in the chariot to supervise the battle, but like Cao Cao, he built a sturdy lookout pavilion with a person's thick wood, and a group of people looked into the pavilion from afar, the distance here was only eighty meters, with double mirror telescopes, Wang Hou could even see Yuan Shao's old face gloomy as if it was raining.

It is estimated that he was put on the table by Cao Cao again, and his heart was on fire.

In the rumbling sound of war drums, before the Yuan army, which had already been in battle under the Tushan, came out to fight, a scribe wearing a Confucian robe first rode to the front of the two armies, pulled his throat, and shouted at Cao Jun, who was hiding behind rows of breastworks and two-story cement bunkers.

"Phew! Cao Bing on the opposite side listened, your lord's name is Han Xiang, and he is really a thief! After being born as a lowly eunuch, the past generations have been treacherous and shameless, holding His Majesty hostage, bullying the monarch, and messing with power! The sin is better than Dong Zhuo! ”

"My Yuan Gong is Situ Yuan An, after Taifu Yuan Huai, the fourth and third dukes, the world is civilized, and today ............"

Bang~

It's too arrogant, it's more than 20 meters in front of Cao Jun, who are you seconds for? It's really called the red who is close to Zhu and the black who is close to the ink, and now killing people is not a fantasy for Wang Hou, and it is difficult to accept, and even looking at this, I don't know what the surname is, whether it is a lobbyist of a historical celebrity who fell off the horse, he didn't even feel a little bit anymore, in the eyes of Xun Yu, who was accompanying the audience to watch the battle, was a little stunned and a little awe-inspiring, Wang Hou threw the old cannon barrel to Zhao Yun with a click, and shook his head at the telescope.

"I don't know if the prime minister is at war or not, whether he has succeeded!"

The death of the lobbyist was like the fuse of a big firecracker being ignited, in the telescope, it was obvious that Yuan Shao, who was furious, was very angry and suddenly pulled out the sword, and then roared, and in an instant, the top of the soil mountain, which was still bare, came out of countless Hebei archers, and in the sound of the uproar, the arrow rain was like a really black and oppressive rainstorm, which opened the curtain of today's bloody battle.

Cracking sound!

For a while, the front of Cao Jun, who received arrows, was like a layer of reeds growing out of thin air, the ground was full of arrow shafts, and the arrows hit the cement breast wall and fell down in a string, and Cao Jun, who was occasionally hit by arrows behind the chest wall, seemed to be accustomed to it, and he didn't even pull it out, gritted his teeth without saying a word, and waited for a while to be dragged to the back.

I also experienced the excitement of Mr. Cao at the beginning, and in the sound of the clanging, even several arrows pierced the wooden beams and pillars of Wang Hou's observatory, he was not as calm as Cao Cao, looking at the trembling arrow shaft buzzing, Wang Hou was so frightened that his old face turned white and shouted.

"Returning to the cannon! Took the dog's son's bow and arrow array! ”

You have the rain of earth and arrows, I have returned to the heavy artillery, in so many days of competition, there has been a fight, and if you have more people, you will fill it with human lives! On the other end, Wang Hou was there, and Cao Hong, who rushed to command the trebuchet position, pulled out the command knife in a sinister manner.

But this time, without waiting for him to roar and shoot, suddenly, in the bow and arrow array of Yuan Jun's Tushan, there were more than 20 tens of catties and hundreds of catties of boulders flying over with a roar and smashing on the chest wall, such a big impact, the hard and brittle chest wall could not even resist it, and a large piece collapsed at once, and Cao Jun, who was hiding behind him, was buried under the collapsed chest wall in a daze, and the bricks that were splashed out were even more than ten meters away, and half of the face of the unlucky Cao army infantry was blurred with blood, covering his head and rolling with a miserable scream.

But without Cao Cao's strong spirit, seeing that a nearby cutting-edge lookout platform was hit by a stone, the wall that was not designed to deal with such a heavy weapon was immediately beaten out of a big hole, and threw the folding telescope into Zhao Yun's arms, Wang Hou slipped away, turned around and ran downstairs.

Looking at the oil on the soles of his feet, Liu Ye Xun Yu Xun Yu They are not stupid, following Wang Hou's back, he also rushed down the watchtower, and he walked in time, he had already seen that the tower commanded by Cao Cao was not pleasing to the eye, Wang Hou had just slipped away, and the three boulders came roaring and all rushed to this watchtower, one of which just hit the root of the tower, and with a click, the bricks inside were smashed, and the steel bars were bent and exposed, and the entire watchtower creaked and tilted slightly.

"It's a lot of people!"

Evacuated from the forward position, and then Wang Hou got into the middle of the barracks, the six-story wooden tower that was built together in order to deal with Yuan Shao's Tushan, which was specially dismantled and spliced together, but the space here was small, and all the civil officials were rejected from the tower, only Wang Hou climbed up with a few guards.

Looking through the telescope, Wang Hou couldn't help but shake his head with emotion.

Indeed, with Yuan Jun's current science and technology tree, he didn't point out the skill point of the counterweight trebuchet, but he had the most upright primitive trebuchet in ancient China, the seven-tip cannon!

Just like a lever in the middle of the swing frame, a boulder was loaded into the net pocket of the lever's tail, and seven long ropes hung down from the other end of the lever, a group of twenty people, one hundred and forty people shouted at the same time to pull the cannon back, and in the roar, another boulder of hundreds of catties was thrown out and fell on the defensive position of the Cao army within a range of more than 100 meters.

But listening to the click, Wang Hou, who was originally nervous and frightened, couldn't help but show a look of disdain here!

Yuan Jun's second round of stone throwing had just ended, and Cao Jun's head, suddenly there was a sharp sound of air friction in mid-air, and countless blazing coal blocks supported long black smoke, just like meteors, crackling and smashing on Yuan Shao's earth mountain.

You come and go to call it war!
