Liu Meng looked at it from afar and saw with his own eyes that the flames were burning under the side van, but what made him strange was that the torches had been lit for a long time, and the fire was gradually extinguished, and the partial van could not be ignited.

Could it be that Wei Jun's partial van was not made of wood?

No way! Liu Meng quickly overturned this suspicion, if the partial van was made of iron and copper, not to mention the high cost, just talking about the weight, it was too heavy and could not be moved at all, so the partial van of the Wei army could only be made of wood.

If it's wood, it's afraid of fire, but why is Wei Jun not afraid of fire after building a car out of wood?

Soon rushed to the front of the Hun soldiers to bring back the answer he wanted to know to Liu Meng, but as soon as he heard the news, Liu Meng almost vomited blood in depression.

It turned out that the reason why the partial van was not afraid of fire was because the Wei army had already drenched the partial van with water, and it was wet from the inside out, and the wet wood naturally could not be led, and the Wei army saw that the Huns were attacking with torches, and they specially poured water from above, and the entire partial van was still dripping with water, and the torches below were about to be extinguished.

When Cao Liang was developing the partial van, the first requirement was fire prevention, because when the enemy saw you made of a pile of wood, the first thing he thought of was fire attack, and if he didn't solve this problem, the chariot he had worked so hard to build was just a pile of firewood.

In order to solve the problem of fire prevention, Cao Liang deliberately asked the craftsman to place a wooden water tank for storing water at the top of the side box, and the switch was installed below, and the water tank was filled with water in peacetime. In this way, it can play a role in fire prevention.

The fire attack failed, so that the morale of the Huns was greatly frustrated, until now, they found that the original partial car formation is a piece of hard bone that can be gnawed more than the spear formation, who said that the cavalry can be invincible in the plain area, in front of the rock-solid partial car formation, they are always a dog biting hedgehog, nowhere to go.

All the men and horses of the Wei army have now retreated to the side car formation, and the side car formation at this moment is like a calm harbor, regardless of the turbulent waves outside, it is also as stable as a mountain inside.

All the soldiers of the Wei army were happy and convinced of Cao Liang, when Cao Liang chose to face the Hun cavalry in Dongguan, in fact, many people were uneasy in their hearts, because the Hun cavalry was numerous, and the number was several times that of the Wei army.

What worries the Wei soldiers even more is that the plain area was originally the world of cavalry, and the Pingbei Army, which was dominated by infantry, faced the Hun cavalry in the east of Pingchuan, wasn't it an egg hitting a stone?

However, it is obvious that the worries of these soldiers are superfluous, the reason why Cao Liang dared to take the initiative to march to Dongguan was that he had already been confident, and the deployment of the partial van made the situation on the battlefield reversed in an instant.

Cao Liang had a relaxed expression all the time, because he knew very well that the partial carriage formation was a more reliable way to deal with cavalry than the spear formation, and the spear formation had great drawbacks, and it was more effective to deal with the impact of cavalry, but it was relatively weak to deal with bows and arrows.

The partial van is different, whether it is a short-range cavalry attack or a long-range bow and arrow strike, it can achieve a watertight defense, and they have nothing to do if the enemy cannot break through this defense.

Ma Long is using the function of the partial van to sweep the bald tree for thousands of miles, and Cao Liang certainly has reason to believe that using the partial van to deal with the Huns is absolutely effective.

Of course, the partial van is not without weaknesses, in the war, it is often one thing to drop one thing, in the current war, the tank known as the king of land warfare still does not have anti-tank missiles to deal with it.

The biggest weakness of the van is its weak mobility, if the enemy can use catapults, especially heavy catapults, to attack, no matter how strong and heavy the vans are, they can't withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of large rocks.

But what makes Cao Liang more fortunate is that the Huns did not have such weapons as catapults, since the Huns moved south to Bingzhou, the imperial court still managed them very strictly, and naturally they would not have the opportunity to have heavy weapons such as catapults, bed crossbows, and siege vehicles.

The Huns themselves were not interested in those heavy mechanical weapons, and the consistent development of their army was still based on cavalry, and because since the internal migration, the Huns abandoned grazing for farming or semi-herding and half-farming, which also seriously affected the development of their cavalry.

Compared with the heyday of the Huns, the current Huns have long lost the characteristics of the steppe nomads, and the people are fierce and unruly.

Without a catapult, it is indeed very difficult to break through the partial van array carefully prepared by Cao Liang with flesh and blood alone, so Cao Liang naturally has no fear, at this stage, the Huns have no good strategy to deal with the partial van at all.

Liu Meng is naturally at a loss, the battle of Dongguan has been fought for almost a day, the Huns do not see the hope of breaking through the Wei army's partial car formation, the vast majority of the corpses left on the battlefield are Huns, in order to break through the Wei army's battle array, the Huns have already paid a considerable price.

Now the Huns are also mired in the quagmire, unable to attack, and unwilling to retreat, in a dilemma.

Liu Meng has thought of all the ways he can think of, but in the end there is nothing he can do, and Liu Jiao is also sad and depressed.

When he was in the camp of Jinyang, after hearing that the Great Tomb of Qi County was lost, Liu Jiao couldn't wait to rush back to the Great Tomb in one breath and kill the Wei army that had broken through the Great Tomb, which could be regarded as revenge and blood hatred.

But now, the Wei army is in Dongguan, right under the noses of the Huns, but across a side car, the Huns just have no way to take the Wei army.

If you want to talk about morale, the Huns are not lacking in morale now, the families of the Xiongnu on the right and the Xiongnu in the middle are all lost in Qixian and Daling, that is to say, their families suffered on the same day, and the revengeful Huns are almost red-eyed, and they have a deep hatred for this Wei army, and they can't wait to eat their flesh and sleep on their skin.

So at the beginning of the battle, the offensive of the Huns was simply unprecedented, and the way of besieging from all sides also reflected this, in order to win the battle as soon as possible, the Huns were like crazy at the beginning.

But as a result, every Hun soldier was cold. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "The Last Three Kingdoms 2: Xingwei Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
