"What's that? Waterwheel? When Wei Yan arrived at Neihuang with his soldiers and horses, he looked at the rows of tall turntable-like buildings on the river bank in the distance, and frowned slightly.

Several generals around him shook their heads blankly, Dahan has come out with a lot of novelties over the years, but this thing doesn't look like a waterwheel.

The Wei army had already made preparations on the other side of the river, just to prevent the Han army from crossing the river, Wei Yan silently looked at the strangely shaped roulette wheels on the other bank, turned his head to the deputy general Chen Shi beside him and said, "You take a group of men and horses to test it!" ”

"Whoa!" When Chen Shi heard this, he hugged his fists and agreed, and ordered 2,000 people to step forward immediately, but those roulette wheels did not react, but there were thunderbolts in the rear to drop stone bullets on this side, and the other party set up an earthen wall along the river, the damage caused by bows and arrows was not large, if it was close, it was the two sides to shoot at each other, and it was difficult for the Han army to get close to the river bank for a while, let alone cross the river.

After a moment of fierce fighting, Chen Shi could only lead his troops and reluctantly retreated: "General, it's not good!" ”

Wei Yan nodded, he naturally saw the scene of the battle, it was not good, it was certain, but the roulette wheel had not moved, Wei Yan had some doubts in his heart, and thought about it: "Retreat to the village first, and then make a decision when Li Yan comes." ”

"Whoa!" Chen Shi agreed and began to command the troops and horses to retreat.

Wei Yan looked at it with a telescope for a long time, but he couldn't see the reason, and he didn't dare to rashly wave his army to create a formation, so he could only set up camp first, and then discuss how to break the enemy after Li Yan arrived.

Li Yan's main army came quickly, probably arriving in the early morning of the next day.

"Wen Chang is too careful, no matter how sophisticated Wei Jun's equipment is, it will not be stronger than what Sikong made!" Li Yan put down the binoculars, he didn't understand what the roulette wheel was for, but for the equipment, Li Yan had enough confidence in Liu Yi, even if it was not pleasing to the eye, Li Yan had to sigh at Liu Yi's talent in this regard, these years the Han has always been proud of the technology of smelting weapons, so for the roulette, Li Yan did not pay too much attention to it.

At the moment, the three armies were ordered to advance, according to the old rules, first greeted with arrows, and then forcibly crossed the river, after a few battles, Li Yan also had a general understanding of Sima Yi's ability, maybe it was really good, but it was not enough to make up for the gap in weapons between the two sides.

But this time, Li Yan obviously miscalculated, when the officers and soldiers of the three armies set up their positions and were about to drop arrows, the roulette wheel, which had not had much effect, suddenly turned away.

Successive stone bullets fell from the sky, the range was no worse than the bow and arrow of the Han army, the stone bullets were not big, most of them were fist-sized masonry, but the power was terrifying, even if it was the armor of the Han army, it could be smashed directly. , The arrow array that had just been formed, under the surprise of the other party, was embarrassed by the opponent's new weapon, and almost collapsed.

Li Yan and Wei Yan changed color at the same time, and hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of the army, but fortunately, the Wei army did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, otherwise it would be a big loss.

……

"Father, why don't you take advantage of the situation to open the floodgates and release the water?" Sima Shi found Sima Yi and said anxiously: "Now that the river has begun to freeze, if you don't make a move, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make a move!" ”

It's almost October, the weather is completely cold, the river is starting to freeze, if after a while, the water surface is completely frozen, and then you want to attack with water, I'm afraid you will have to wait until next year.

"No hurry!" Sima Yi looked at the direction of the Han army's retreat, shook his head and smiled: "Although this stone machine is exquisite, but in terms of range, it is not as good as the Han army's catapult. Wait, it's been these two days! ”

……

"I don't want to have such a sharp weapon in the Wei army!" Li Yan returned to the camp, although he was a little regretful, but there was no frustration on his face, although he suffered a small setback, but it was only his own jet lag, and now that he knew the role of the other party's roulette, Li Yan had already thought of a solution.

Wei Yan nodded silently, looked at Li Yan and said, "Why don't you destroy it with a catapult first, and then suppress the river crossing with an arrow array?" ”

Li Yan smiled and nodded: "What Wen Chang said is exactly what I want, I ordered someone to place the catapult in front of the formation overnight, and early tomorrow morning, destroy the opponent's equipment, and then suppress the river crossing with an arrow array." ”

"Whoa!" Wei Yan nodded and agreed: "The last general will arrange this." ”

Deng Ai was sent by Li Yan to escort supplies, after all, the relationship between Deng Ai and Liu Yi was constant, but Wei Yan ...... After getting along for these days, Li Yan felt that the two sides had the same ideas, and they might not be able to win over to their side.

……

The sky was bright.

Guo Huai rode his horse and galloped back to the city, and the wolf smoke warning in the rear had already risen.

"Captain!" At the gate of the city, he met Sima Yi's father and son who were out of the city, and hurriedly dismounted and said, "The Han army is here!" ”

"Hmm." Sima Yi nodded, and led the two of them straight to the top of the watchtower.

From afar, I saw the Han army pushing a catapult over, at a glance, the mighty one, obviously the Han army came today, what they did was not just to cross the river.

Li Yan has lost his normal heart, and his mentality of quick success is already obvious.

Sima Yi smiled unconsciously.

"Father?" Sima Shi looked at Sima Yi.

"Don't worry, let him see hope first, release the water now, there is no way to wipe him out, first guard a guard, and lure him to transfer all the soldiers and horses." Sima Yi shook his head, looked at Guo Huai beside him and said, "Boji! ”

"The last general!" Guo Huai hurriedly bowed and said.

"Taking advantage of the fact that the water is not rising now, you go to Fanyang to transfer troops, and when the wolf smoke rises again, you will immediately lead the army south to pursue the Han army!" Sima Yi looked at Guo Huai and said, "Remember, I want their weapons and armor!" Everything else is secondary! ”

"Whoa!" Guo Huai agreed, saluted Sima Yi, turned around and got off the watchtower, got on the horse and took the guards and went to Fanyang.

Sima Yi and Sima Shi began to inspect the surroundings, in order to maximize the use of the accumulated water, they realized that they dug a lot of canals on the Neihuang side, this weather, let alone drowning, as long as they are watered by this river, they will have to shed their skin if they don't die, not to mention, Sima Yi is not prepared to let the other party have a rest.

"Is there any news over there?" The Han army over there had already begun to bombard this side with catapults, but Sima Yi didn't care, and after coming down from the watchtower, he asked as he walked towards the city.

"The most recent letter is the one I came back last month." Sima Shi shook his head, Sima Zhao was ordered to unite Eastern Wu to attack the puppet Han, but so far, in the direction of the Central Plains, Cao Shuang is still trying to survive under the attack of Pang Tong and Liu Cheng, and there is no movement on the Eastern Wu side.

After hearing this, Sima Yi was silent for a moment, then sighed and said: "If you can win this time, it will be the best time to counterattack the puppet Han, but if Dongwu doesn't make a move, ......"

"Didn't my father say ......" Sima Shi looked at Sima Yi suspiciously, Sima Yi had previously said that if Dongwu didn't want to perish, he must send troops, he felt that it was quite reasonable, why did he change his words now?

"Sun Quan is old!" Sima Yi sighed and said: "And over the years, he has been defeated by the hands of the puppet Han several times, and each time, he has suffered heavy losses, and he was almost destroyed last time." ”

To put it simply, Sun Quan was scared, Sima Yi couldn't say for sure whether it was the reason or not, but Jiangdong had not moved so far, and Sima Yi felt that this should be the biggest reason.

After all, today's Sun Quan is also nearly sixty years old.

Sima Shi was silent for a moment and then said with a smile: "If this battle can be won, our dynasty will not need Sun Quan's help." ”

"Not necessarily." Sima Yi shook his head and said: "The puppet Han has developed rapidly over the years, and this time the soldiers of Wei are not all, if this battle is defeated, it will be more than enough to protect itself." ”

Just like Cao Cao's defeat of Chibi back then, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses on the border of the northern border, as well as a lot of soldiers and horses to maintain law and order in various places, squeeze it, and you can take out another 100,000 troops in a short time.

"But it can't give him a chance to breathe, we must unite with Soochow!" Sima Yi looked into the distance and sighed leisurely: "I hope that the victory in this battle can make Sun Quan have some confidence." ”

Sima Shi nodded and followed Sima Yi back to the city.

More than a dozen catapults have been destroyed by Li Yanyi's catapults, and more catapults have been carried up, and the earthen walls built on the shore are fragile in front of the Han army's catapults.

Sima Yi watched this scene from afar, his heart was a little heavy, although this battle can defeat the Han army, but the vitality of the Han army will not be lost because of this battle, although the counteroffensive has been decided, but he is not too sure how much benefit he can take!

The confrontation between the two sides lasted for a morning, the stone machine set up by the Wei army on the bank has been basically destroyed, the arrow array of the Han army has begun to be suppressed, and the horn sounded at the head of the city made the Wei army blocking the river bank like an amnesty, and fled back to the city in embarrassment.

Li Yan took advantage of the situation to build a bridge to cross the river and push the battle line to the city.

"Wolf smoke!" Sima Yi looked at Sima Shi and nodded.

Soon, a black pillar of smoke rose into the sky, Sima Yi didn't look at it again, the bow and arrow of the Han army pressed people to raise their heads, the city wall was not too safe, Sima Yi retreated to the city with his son under the protection of his own person, and ordered people to seal the city gate with various things, and when the flood came later, there was no difference between the enemy and me.

"Quick, continue to suppress, just a small city, one day to capture it!" Li Yan sat on horseback, looking at the Wei army that was pressed so hard that he couldn't raise his head as usual, he couldn't help laughing, Liyang is a good city, but he couldn't hold on for three days, and now the Wei army is defeated in a row, and the morale is low, even if there are many people, what's the use? He was confident that he would take the city one day.

Wei Yan nodded, and was about to give an order, but suddenly heard a sound in his ears, which was not obvious at first, but gradually he heard a sound like a galloping horse.

"Not good!" Wei Yan's face changed, this voice, he was too familiar, if it wasn't for Liu Yi to be careful, their soldiers and horses were at the foot of the Beibi Mountain at the beginning, I am afraid that the whole army has been wiped out, and now they are coming again!?

Li Yan looked at Wei Yan suspiciously, but saw that Wei Yan had already turned his horse's head, and shouted: "The three armies obey the order, withdraw!" ”

"Wen Chang, you ......" Li Yan's face suddenly turned ugly.

Wei Yan ignored him, and while riding his horse across the riverbank, he raised the talisman in his hand and shouted: "The talisman is here, all the soldiers listen to my order, withdraw!" ”

This is a talisman left for Wei Yan when Liu Yi left, and with this talisman, he can have a higher voice than Li Yan.

Although the officers and soldiers of the three armies did not know why, when they saw the talisman in Wei Yan's hand, they subconsciously retreated according to Wei Yan's order.

Li Yan still wanted to scold, but the next moment, when he saw the white lines rising in the distance surging towards this side, his face suddenly turned pale, and he didn't care about scolding Wei Yan anymore, so he hurriedly rode his horse and wanted to cross the shore, but at this time, the river was already surging, and in an instant, a large number of soldiers by the river were swallowed up, Li Yan sat on horseback, but he was still directly lifted off the horse's back by the rushing river.

After all, this is not the Yellow River, and Sima Yi has not stored water for a long time, the water potential is not as vast as the Yellow River, a large area of land on both sides of the river bank has been swept by the river, and this side cannot gather so much water after all, but Sima Yi dug a lot of canals in advance, and these canals have gathered a lot of water, and most of the Han army has been affected, most of them have been directly swept away by the river because they have gathered by the river to cross the river.

Wei Yan saw the opportunity quickly and reluctantly rushed out, but when he looked back, the scene in front of him made the muscles on Wei Yan's face tremble......
