---------------------------------------------------
The next moment, a deafening explosion was heard. [No pop-ups. I saw that the huge city gate, which was originally extremely strong, was actually blown into pieces and scattered.
It turned out that the tip of the giant wood was covered with gunpowder wrapped in leather. After Wang Tianjie handed over the composition of gunpowder to Ma Jun and Zheng Hun and them, after the continuous efforts of them and others, they finally succeeded in developing gunpowder.
The soldiers wore thick and sturdy armor, which could not only effectively defend against the attacks of the bow and arrow boulders on the enemy's castle tower, but also effectively avoid the debris caused by the explosion and the killing of the warriors.
Wang Tianjie not only used this battle to "warm up" for the upcoming group of heroes to seize the Central Plains situation, but also tested the effectiveness of these new military equipment through actual combat, and found the shortcomings in them and improved them in a timely manner.
However, compared with the previous transitional version of the ship-based stone truck, gunpowder is still in the experimental exploration stage. At the same time, even after truly controlling the performance of gunpowder in the future, Wang Tianjie does not plan to use it in large-scale wars in the future for the time being.
As for why only Wang Tianjie knows!
Along the way, the invincible Liaodong army and the powerful combat effectiveness of the world, as well as these military equipment that surpass this era, are like a bamboo!
"Soldiers, rush into the city and capture Liu Yu alive!" Lü Bu led a large army to rush into the city.
……。
"My lord, it's not good, it's not good!
The Liaodong army has broken through the city and entered the city! The strategist hurriedly rushed in with a frightened expression, and at this time he couldn't care so much and said with a panicked expression.
"What? How can it be...? No matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army is, it is impossible to break through the city defense of Youzhou in such a short period of time, so Liu Yu, who was hiding in the mansion and hurriedly writing a letter for help, immediately got up and shouted in disbelief.
"My lord, it's true. Now the Liaodong army has indeed attacked Youzhou City!
Your Excellency, listen ......!" The advisor pointed to the outside and said.
Through the doors and windows, I saw fires in the distance, and faintly the sound of shouting and killing and horses' hooves were intertwined with each other.
"How is that possible? It's all over! What should I do, what should I do? ……? "Smack!" With a bang, the brush that was originally in Liu Yu's hand also fell to the ground, and his body once again collapsed to the chair and muttered with a hollow expression.
Liu Yu couldn't figure it out, originally, he thought that his Youzhou City would at least hold on for a while even in the face of the powerful Liaodong army, waiting for reinforcements to arrive. But I never thought that under the strong attack of the Liaodong army led by Lu Bu, it would be broken so quickly, could it be that the strong Youzhou city defense was the same in front of Liaodong, or was the Liaodong army descending from the sky?
In fact, Youzhou City, as the core of the capital city of a state, although its defense is not said to be as solid as Jinzhou, but it is definitely a strong "strong city", even if Lu Bu is brave and good at fighting, even if the 100,000 troops in Liaodong are strong in combat, but after all, they are attacking Youzhou City, which is located in the capital of a state.
This is why, in the face of Lu Bu's powerful power, he Liu Yu swore not to surrender, the biggest "barrier"!
However, it was Liu Yu himself who didn't care about the lives of his soldiers, but fled from the city tower and cowered in his mansion to hide.
If an army is demoralized, it is very terrible!
No matter how large an army you have, if you don't have morale, you're like a tiger without teeth and claws.
More importantly, the strategy of this large-scale military attack on Youzhou is to fight a quick battle and not give the princes of the world any opportunity to take advantage of.
Although, Lu Bu signed a "military order" before sending troops, promising to take Youzhou City before sunrise the next day.
But just in case, at the same time, it is also hoped that the actual combat effectiveness of military equipment will be tested through actual combat, especially this time the secret weapon of gunpowder added to the front of the giant tree is applied to the battlefield.
Therefore, in the comprehensive combination of many factors, the capital of Youzhou, known as the "Jiancheng", was easily broken by Lu Bu.
Besides, Liu Yu, who was frightened regardless of the lives of his generals and soldiers, cowered in his mansion, thinking that sending a letter for help could solve Youzhou's urgent need. He, Liu Yu, also took it for granted.
The reason why Wang Tianjie used 100,000 troops to send troops to Youzhou this time, and faced the whole army, and asked to take Youzhou within six hours (that is, twelve hours) like lightning.
There are many layers to this.
First, Wang Tianjie wants to ignite the fighting spirit of the whole army and stimulate the enthusiasm and morale of the soldiers; Second, Wang Tianjie hoped that the soldiers would solve Youzhou in a short period of time and achieve a quick victory; Third, Wang Tianjie also wants to use this Youzhou operation to once again show the invincible Liaodong and the powerful military power of the world to the princes and overlords of the world, so as to achieve a warning effect; Fourth, to attack Youzhou, Wang Tianjie mobilized 100,000 Liaodong warriors to show the world that he must take Youzhou!
Therefore, he Liu Yu didn't want to think about it, even if some other princes in the world received his distress letter, in the face of the 100,000 Liaodong army led by Lu Bu himself, I am afraid that even the Hun iron cavalry would not dare to block its edge, not to mention that the combat effectiveness is far inferior to the Xiongnu iron cavalry, their "miscellaneous army".
Moreover, if you want to solve the danger of breaking the city in Youzhou, you must gather at least 100,000 troops in a short period of time.
However, to be able to gather a huge number of 100,000 troops in such a short period of time, except for Yuan Shao, the most powerful overlord in the Central Plains region at present, other princes and overlords could not do it at all!
However, did Yuan Shao not hesitate to go to war with the current Liaodong Wang Tianjie for Liu Yu? In the face of Wang Tianjie's firm determination to take Youzhou, will Yuan Shao choose to send troops? has always been timid as a mouse, looking forward and backward, how could the indecisive Yuan Shao easily send troops in a short period of time for him Liu Yu?
Of course, if Liu Yu can really hold back the 100,000-strong army in Liaodong and turn the blitzkrieg in Liaodong's large-scale invasion of Youzhou into a war of attrition and a protracted war, then the war situation will be a different situation.
Although the possibility of such a situation is very small, through this trip to the south, Wang Tianjie has become more and more aware that today is not as simple as it seems.
Therefore, this is also the fundamental reason why Wang Tianjie used these large-scale military equipment, and not to mention that the best way to test these large-scale military equipment in actual combat is through war!
……。
Liu Yu's Mansion.
At this moment, the entire mansion was illuminated by torches.
"Liu Yu, you have no way to escape, hurry up and arrest you!" A moment later, the Liaodong warriors rushed into Liu Yu's mansion and shouted loudly.
"I ...... I'm the governor of a state, ...... Youzhou Mu, do you want to commit the following crimes, do you ...... Aren't you afraid of exterminating the Nine Clans? Liu Yu, who was extremely frightened in his heart, looked at the Liaodong soldiers who rushed in, and stammered like a fierce god.
"Really? Lord Liu, I Lu Bu said before, even if you are the king of heaven, you will die this time! At this time, the soldiers took the initiative to disperse a passage, only to see that Lu Bu sneered and watched this Liu Yu slowly come over.
"Don't come over, don't come over, you can't kill me, I'm Youzhou Mu, you can't kill me!" Seeing the cold light in Lu Bu's eyes, Liu Yu seemed to see that he was already like a dead man in those cold eyes, which made him feel terrified, and when he saw Lu Bu slowly walking over, Liu Yu, who had fallen into extreme fear, collapsed to the ground and howled.
"Liu Yu, don't worry, I won't kill you now!
Your life and death are in the hands of my eldest brother!
Someone! After Lu Bu finished sneering, he turned around and stopped looking at Liu Yu, who was huddled on the ground and shivering, and commanded.
"General!"
"Put Liu Yu, the governor of our state, the pastor of Youzhou, into the prisoner car, and then let all the people of Youzhou visit the entire Youzhou City!
It can be regarded as compensation for the fright of the people of Youzhou just now! Lu Bu sneered and ordered.
"Yes, General!"
"I ...... I'm the governor of a state, ...... Youzhou Mu, you can't treat me like this......! After each of the soldiers excitedly tied up Liu Yu, they dragged Liu Yu out as if they were dragging a dead dog. No one paid attention to Liu Yu, who was constantly howling.
