Sima Yi is heavy on power and light on technology, he has put his whole life energy in the political conspiracy, for those "strange tricks and tricks", Sima Yi is naturally disdainful, if it were not for the defeat of Sima Jun's catapult in the catapult of the state army this time, maybe Sima Yi really didn't seriously consider what the purpose of Ma Jun's inventions was.

People in this era are almost not interested in those novel inventions and creations, especially those in power, who seem to have never put these inventions in their eyes, let alone to apply and promote, even if it is Cao Rong, who appreciates Ma Jun very much, it is also because Ma Jun created a hundred plays for him to enjoy and play, and the dragon's heart is happy, but there is no support for Ma Jun's inventions and creations that can really improve the combat effectiveness of the army, so that many of Ma Jun's inventions are sealed in the old paper pile and have no chance to come out.

However, today's confrontation between the two armies on the catapults made Sima Yi seem to understand something, it seems that he really missed an opportunity, if he could reuse Ma Jun, maybe the situation on the battlefield today could be reversed.

This Cao Liang is really not an ordinary character, when he was in Luoyang, he was friendly with Ma Jun, obviously those inventions and creations of Ma Jun during his lifetime fell into the hands of Cao Liang, could it be that he was already planning the current battle back then?

You must know that this was more than ten years ago, so it seems that Cao Liang's scheming is far from being comparable to ordinary people.

The failure of the Battle of Lingshiguan may be attributed to the result of the rash advance of the Sima army, but in the battle of Jiexiu, the fully prepared Sima army is still difficult to win, which makes Sima Yi, who is full of confidence in the Northern Expedition and the state, can't help but be a little shaken, can it be said that he is really old? Is it really that even such a young junior can't be beaten?

For this Northern Expedition, Sima Yi has been carefully preparing for more than a year, for Cao Liang, he is more attentive than against any opponent, just to raise such an elite cavalry, I don't know how much effort it took Sima Yi.

But before his cavalry could appear on the scene, the infantry as the vanguard battalion had already suffered defeats one after another, which couldn't help but make Sima Yi's journey covered with a thick layer of dust.

"Tomorrow as my father, I will come to the pioneer camp in person, I want to see how difficult this Jiexiu City is!" Although Sima Yi learned about Jiexiu's situation from the official documents that kept coming, it was still better to see it than to hear it, and he was ready to visit Jiexiu City in person to take a look.

Sima Yi was willing to go to the front of the army in person, so that Sima Shi breathed a sigh of relief, originally the biggest purpose of his trip was to listen to Sima Yi's advice, how to effectively po jie and the defense of the state army, and break through Jiexiu City.

But if Sima Yi can go to Jiexiu City in person, this will make Sima Shi feel a lot more at ease, if the pioneer battalion is commanded by Sima Yi in person, the effect of attacking the city will definitely be a hundred times stronger than letting Chen Qian and him command, and it is also very certain to take Jiexiu City as soon as possible.

However, the only thing that worries Sima Shi is whether Sima Yi's body can withstand it, after all, Sima Yi is already in his old age, and his physical strength and energy are already not as good as before.

"It's so good, but the child is worried about whether his father's body can withstand it?" Sima Shi said with some apprehension.

Sima Yi smiled faintly and said: "It's okay, I have fought for my father all my life, and I am not afraid of the hardships of the battlefield, I have to see everything with my own eyes to see that I am ugly." ”

Sima Shi said: "Only, the child will go down and make arrangements." ”

Sima Yi waved his hand and said, "Father is going to the pioneer camp this time, there is no need to make a noise, just to observe, and will not interfere with your right to command." ”

Sima Shi suddenly felt that Sima Yi went to the pioneer camp to be invisible this time, in fact, it was right, after all, Sima Yi was the commander of the three armies, and the pioneer camp was at the forefront of the battle with the enemy, and the danger level was the highest.

Sima Yi then asked Sima Shi some details, although he had received a more detailed report, but Sima Shi, as the deputy vanguard, experienced this battle, Sima Yi not only had to listen to his narrative, but also to listen to his opinions, failure is not terrible, but if you do not learn from the failure, it is the real failure.

Sima Shi didn't dare to have the slightest concealment, and told Sima Yi the details of today's battle one by one, of course, there was no lack of his own understanding and judgment of the battle, and at the same time he also told Sima Yi that this time he returned to the base camp, the most important thing was to ask for support, in addition to the serious damage of the catapult in the forward battalion, the loss of the ladder was also relatively large, if it could not be supplemented in time, the follow-up attack would be weak.

Sima Yi was slightly surprised, after all, the equipment and equipment of the pioneer battalion can be said to be the most sophisticated in the whole army, the catapult was defeated by the state army, and it is reasonable to lose it, but the consumption of the ladder is really too big, only one day of battle, it actually damaged nearly half of the ladder, if it really goes on like this, the supply of the ladder is a big problem.

"Father, that's the case, and the state army wantonly used fire oil to do, so the damage to the ladder is quite serious, and the craftsmen of the pioneer battalion have been rushing to build it overnight, but I'm afraid that it won't be so much overnight, so I also asked my father to transfer some of the past from the Chinese army to solve the urgent need."

Sima Yi frowned slightly, but he didn't speak again this time, he knew very well that this kind of thing was not commonly used in the army, it was relatively scarce and in short supply, and it might not be possible to buy it if there was money, Cao Liang could prepare so much, and it could be used on such a large scale in the defense of the city, it was really a trench!

Of course, Sima Yi would not refuse Sima Shi's request for help, and he immediately ordered the requisition of all catapults, siege vehicles, bed crossbows and a large number of ladders in the Chinese army, and hurried to the Jiexiu front line for reinforcements.

However, Sima Yi only transferred material equipment to the front line, but did not reach the number of troops, and Sima Shi also did not have any requirements in terms of troops, after all, the vanguard battalion had as many as 50,000 people, and it occupied an absolute advantage in numbers.

There is no shortage of people in the forward battalion, what is lacking is those weapons and equipment, as long as the ladder is in place, tomorrow the attack of the Sima army will definitely set off a new gao chao.
