Chapter 22: The Battle of Guandu

Looking at the huge equipment, Cao Ang couldn't help but smile at Ma Jun secretly: "Mr. Ma is really extraordinary, in less than a few years, you have actually developed so many instruments!" ”

Ma Jun smiled faintly and said: "Where, if it weren't for the eldest prince, how could Ma Jun have today's results?" Every weapon here has been deployed and improved many times, and there is absolutely no problem with it on the battlefield, and it can completely hold Guandu Tucheng.

Then, Ma Jun immediately began to introduce the research results of Meteor Hall in the past few years for Cao Ang.

Thunderbolt catapult, and the history of the battle of Guandu, Liu Linzhen grinding the gun developed by the thunderbolt car is different, Ma Jun after several years of countless improvements, countless tests, download these thunderbolt can be described as a selection of trebuchets, using the principle of gravity and leverage, can project a stone body of more than ten kilograms. Not only suitable for defense, but also the first choice of siege equipment, the trebuchet is basically a huge rocker, there are several sergeants pulling ropes from the side wall, the other side of the pole arm is made of a sling, and a soldier below releases the stone bullet according to the military order, and the range can reach more than 1,000 steps.

Medium catapults belong to medium-range warfare casts, but they do not use manpower. Because Ma Jun invented the water wheel and knew the way of material resources, he used the method of heavy counterweight to make the heavy trebuchet drop stone projectiles. The counterweight trebuchet made of wood and rope is like a timer, which can suddenly throw stone projectiles at any time, and is a melee stone throwing, which can be within 700 paces, and it is perfect to cooperate with a thunderbolt. (Similar to the 12th Muslim apparatus.)

Melee catapult, a very small catapult, only five feet high, can be regarded as the most portable catapult, this is a kind of power stored on the tendon rope on the twisted thick rope, projected like a horse stretching out its legs and kicking, only one person to roll the rope, one person to pull the rope behind, can reach the operation, of course, the distance is not too far, only two or three hundred steps.

At the same time, more than 100 well railings were also brought, and well railings were not uncommon in this era, but Ma Jun's well railings had things that other well railings did not have. Huge ballistas!

What is a ballista? When it was a fixed giant crossbow, twisted on a rope with the same power as a catapult, it was full of clusters of arrows, up to three hundred paces away, and it was quite accurate. The combination of ballista and well bar was something that Cao Ang had not thought of.

Ma Jun is a geek of this era! What a gem of the Cold Weapon Era!

The autumn breeze is blowing. The earth is blank. Above the earth city, Cao Caodi's eyes gradually narrowed into a thin slit. At the end of the wilderness. The faint black lines are neatly striding towards themselves and sweeping the world and millions of male divisions!

Neither fast nor slow pause. The neat and dry pace made the heart of the defender Du Di Cao Jun's heart tremble. The huge cavalry camp is like a ghost messenger from hell. Between the marches. The earth is shattered. Sweeping the ground is the mountains and rivers flowing backwards! Jin Ge Iron Horse. Wolf smoke fills Henan! The Central Plains is galloping, the river is unchanging, and the waves are unchanging!

On a horse in the military land. Yuan Shao was wearing treasure armor and holding a silver sword. Blazing heroism filled his eyes, as long as he broke Cao Cao. From now on, I will tremble because of my Yuan Shao! The earth will be torn apart because of me! Mountains and rivers will flow backwards because of me! The sun and the moon will be surrounded by me!

All over the world! Overweening!

Looking at the terrifying Yuan Shao's army. Cao Cao suddenly smiled. At this time and place he. Standing firmly between heaven and earth. Regardless of the oncoming land, there is a lot of loess. Still raging with smoke horses' hooves. can't shake him Cao Mengde in the slightest! The enemy is ten times more with himself. And how!

Young. I saw Cao Cao pull out the Heavenly Sword. Raise your voice and shout. His voice was full of blood. The voice was full of the fiery height: "How can you say that you have no clothes?" with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi. Fix my spear. Enmity with the Son! How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi. Fix my spear. Work with the son! How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi. Repair my armor. Walk with the son! ”

At first, it was just the generals around Cao Cao who echoed Cao Cao, and gradually, one passed ten, ten passed hundreds, more and more people shouted together, and more and more Cao Jun began to chant aloud, maybe they didn't know the meaning, but the momentum had deeply infected the hearts of the whole army.

There is this hero! What more could you ask for!

The smoke and dust moved, the black was pressing, and the men and horses who couldn't reach the edge stopped in front of the Guandu Cao army defending the earth city. Cao Cao looked at Yuan Jun in the distance coldly, and said word by word: "Raise the flag!" ”

And Yuan Shao over there seemed to be a close relationship with Cao Cao, and instructed his subordinates: "List my banner!" ”

Above the earth city, in Yuan Shao's army, the blazing temperament on both sides is slowly standing in the air several zhang high, and the flags are all big characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing: "Great Han Sikong, Cao!" "Captain Dahan, Yuan! "The water of the Yellow River is surging, the three armies are silent, and the inferior horses are silent. Although the two sides can only faintly see each other's flags, the words on the two flags are still so dazzling in their eyes.

"Primatim

"Mengde

The two males muttered almost at the same time. The autumn wind was trembling, and I saw Yuan Shao slowly pull out his sword, and then suddenly pointed at the distant Guandu Tucheng: "Kill, thief!" ”

"Killing" was all over the sky, raising the thunderous roar of Yuan Shao's army, and the iron horsemen rolling like a river rushed to the opposite Guandu Tucheng like a monstrous wave of smoke and dust in the sky. The momentum is overwhelming, as if the gods have descended.

In the face of such a momentum, Cao Jun seemed to be in a little commotion, but he heard Cao Cao shout: "Stand again."

At the head of the city, a banner was raised again, not one but a banner with only four words: mighty and victorious

Cao Jun, who was a little agitated, gradually calmed down, and Cao Ang, who managed the catapult, couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Daddy uses soldiers, what a good thing." Sima Yi on the side also secretly sighed.

The Thunderbolt Catapult was due to the ban, Xu Huang was in charge, the middle pitcher battalion was led by Cao Ang and Sima Yi, and the melee catapult was commanded by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun. The well-fenced ballista battalion was operated by Xiahou, the governor of Lejin. In addition, the earth city was set up to send a crossbow to guard each wall, and the governors were Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian, and Cao Hong.

Seeing the cavalry of the Yuan army approaching first, he suddenly saw the Chinese army's order flag waving, and Yu Ban Xu Huang glanced at each other, "Release!" ”

Thousands of steps away, the huge stone bullets seemed to be flying thunder in the sky and killing the soldiers of the Yuan army more than a thousand steps away, and the cavalry in front of Yuan Shao could not defend it, and they were caught off guard for a while, and they were in chaos.

"What's that!?" Yuan Shaose mutated. But seeing that the sky was falling like a thunderbolt, like a meteor swarm, the morale of the cavalry in front of his side was incomparable, and countless cavalrymen were neighed and overturned, as if the sky was gray.

"My lord! It seems to be a stone-throwing weapon" Yuan Shaoyan said angrily: "A stone-throwing weapon? How can there be a stone-throwing device that is a thousand steps away!? ”

But seeing Yuan Shao's body, a silver-armored general said coldly: "Lord, rush through this line with the vanguard and the giant soldiers!" ”

Yuan Shao raised his forehead when he heard this: "The words are very good, so I ordered Guo Yuan to lead the front, the vanguard of the dead soldiers, and cooperate with the soldiers of the giant shield to rush across the stone line!" ”

When the soldiers of Yuan heard this, they hurriedly took charge of the generals, but saw tens of thousands of vanguard dead soldiers, holding huge shields, and galloping away with blood all over the thunderbolt line to take the earth city.

In the middle of Cao Jun, the red flag was swinging, Cao Ang stabilized his mind, pulled out his green sword and shouted: "Second formation, put!" As soon as the words fell, I only heard the catapult battalion begin to operate in "簌簌, 簌, 簌", a round of stone nets extending inward shot out chaotically, and the blood splashed and the vanguard of the front of the army suddenly fell to the ground.

"Male!" But seeing the frustration beside Yuan Shao, he hurriedly recommended again: "Lord, the enemy is fully prepared, and it is better to fight again!" Be the first"

"Bastard!" I saw Yuan Shaomeng turn around. His eyes were full of violent bloodshots: "Little Stone Henge!" Also trying to stop me from the heavenly soldiers!? Order, go all out to attack the person who is under Cao Xuan's head, and I will make him the lord of Xu County! ”

"Kill!" Yuan's cavalry was the first, shouting and shouting, rushing forward, and was killed by two lines of throwing stones on the road, and was injured by shock, and trampled on countless people who were covered in blood for the rear army.

Seeing that the two stone nets were broken, Cao Cao's eyes were cold, and he shouted: "Meet the enemy on all fronts!" ”

With the command of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, the melee catapult began to operate, and the stone net was spread out across the whole line, covering almost all the distances thousands of steps away from Guandu Tucheng, like a bloodthirsty stone cloud, the stone bullets were like scales and thunder, and the blood was splashed in the middle, and the murderous aura was thousands. Only the remnants of Yuan Shaojun's army within the distance were struck.

On the top of more than 100 well railings, the ballistas were ready, and seeing Yuan Shao's cavalry, Xiahou wiped the scar in his forehead and waved the yellow flag in his hand. Strong crossbows, clusters, clusters of heroic arrow rain galloped down, straight to Yuan Shao's cavalry, sharp arrows like spears pierced the bodies of people and horses, blood splashed in the air, Yuan soldiers and horses, in front of the throwing stones, arrows clustered, good into the general collapse of the papier-mΓ’chΓ©.

On the city wall, hundreds of crossbows whizzed and shot indiscriminately, blocking Yuan Shao's army from the earth city, and it was definitely difficult to go further.

At this time, the commander of the siege on the front line was Yuan Shao's general Guo Yuan, Guo Yuan saw that Cao's army was fierce, and immediately ordered 800 shields to hold shields to protect their bodies, and rushed straight towards Guandu Tucheng, intending to climb the city first to boost morale.

Eight hundred men were attacking the earth city under the protection of the giant shield, allowing arrows and stones to fly in the air.

Cao Ang looked at Guo Yuan who was mixed in the shield, and said softly: "What a tiger general who takes the lead, if we can kill him, we will definitely reduce the spirit of Yuan Shao's charging army, but I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to prevent Yuan Shao from retreating." ”

Cao Ang's voice fell, and he saw Zhao Yun behind him and said softly: "Come on, take my bow!" ”

When he was young, he saw the soldier hand over a strong bow, Zhao Yun took the bow in his hand, put the arrow on the string, the front hand was like a spirit snake, and the back hand was a buckle.

Aiming at the shield array in front of him, Zhao Yun's eyes gradually narrowed into a thin slit, only to see a boulder suddenly smash on the shield array, causing the shield array to shake for a while, and then a gap flashed out, in which Guo Yuan, who was riding a horse, revealed a figure.

For a moment, only to hear the sound of 'whoosh', Cao Ang just heard the sound of the bowstring, and saw that the arrow was raging, shooting straight at Guo Yuan, and then he heard a muffled sound in the shield array in the distance, and then Yuan pawn in the shield seemed to have opened the pot, and they all hurriedly dodged and retreated, slowly revealing Guo Yuan's body. was actually set to the ground by Zhao Yun's arrow!

The rain of throwing stones and arrows continued to block the Yuan army, and the Yuan army's sharp spirit was damaged, and it was no longer fighting, and began to slowly retreat, and the first offensive of Guandu collapsed with the death of the vanguard commander Guo Yuan.

But seeing Yuan Jun who was receding like a tide, the corners of Cao Cao's mouth slowly showed a smile, and he said to himself: "Originally, in front of me, no one has ever been invincible!" ”

In the first battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's strong attack was fruitless, and the name of Ma Jun of the Meteor Hall of the Commander's Mansion began to gradually become famous all over the world.
