The Sima family's ability to control the first power in East Asia in this era is rooted in Sima Yi. So, although there are many branches under Sima Bada. But no matter which family it is, as long as the surname is Sima, all aspects of its actions are deeply influenced by Sima Yi.

In his early years, Sima Yi's use of troops was extremely gorgeous. Xincheng beheaded Mengda, Liaodong Yi Gongsun, all drove straight in, as fast as thunder. It was a beautiful fight and a brilliant result.

But later, in the face of Zhuge Liang, he was beaten by the other party several times with less than half of his own troops, and his troops were defeated. Sima Yi's use of troops was changed from the blade flow to the turtle flow. Even, Sima Fu and Sima Wang, the guys who can fight in the Sima family, are all turtle streams.

The so-called turtle stream, as the name suggests, I have more money than you, more food than you, more soldiers than you, and stronger cities than you. But I'm just there with a pestle, and I'll never fight you. In the end, when you can't supply food or can't live anymore, you are forced to withdraw your troops. Then, I won.

Therefore, Sima Wang, who only knew the turtle flow tactics, could only maintain the battle line in the face of Guan Yi, who broke into Yixian, so that Guan Yi could not advance to Chang'an. Even Sima Wang knew that the hearts of the different races were not aligned, and there was a flying rope between Yixian and Anguo City...... did not completely fill these loopholes, and just took away Guan Yi's idea.

But after spending more than half a year, Guan Yi just didn't leave. If he doesn't leave here, the Jin army will not be able to support Longxi on a large scale. The longer the time drags on, the more stable Shu Han's rule in Longxi and Liangzhou will be.

Now, Shi Bao has finally completely controlled the Guanzhong Corps. The strategy of the Jin army has also been completely changed.

On 26 June, Li Mu's troops withdrew to the east of Yixian, and their original garrison was garrisoned by Wang Rong's troops. Guan Yi in Yi County has completely lost contact with the outside world.

On the same day, Shi Bao led Zhou Zhi, Xun Kai and others, and 95,000 Jin troops and 50,000 people to cross the Wei River. The city of Anguo was besieged and impassable.

On the 27th, a rare torrential rain fell in the land of Guanzhong, which had been dry for a long time. Shi Bao ordered the whole army to strengthen the barracks. All the people went to Zhongnan Mountain to cut wood.

On July 1, the Guanzhong Plain, which had been exposed to the sun for three consecutive days, was once again dusty. Shi Bao ordered: Siege!

Having learned the lesson of a few months ago, the Jin army did not engage in any ant-attached siege this time. Instead, a hundred trebuchets were launched outside the south gate and the west gate.

"Hehe, there's finally something to do! But is this Shi Zhongrong a fool? Knowing that their trebuchets throw so far worse than ours, they dare to come and send them to death? ”

Zhang Zun, who had been sitting in Anguo City for more than half a year, was not nervous at all when he saw that the Jin army had shifted the direction of the main attack to his side. On the contrary, I was very excited.

"It's all there, our trebuchet, shoot at those stupid guys on the other side, salvo!"

"Huh~~~!"

On the morning of this day, all 200 trebuchets of the Jin army were destroyed by the Han army. There were not many soldiers killed, just over 70.

Shi Bao, who received the report, was not angry at all: "Push two more hundred out tomorrow." As the soldiers and civilians continue to cut wood, the craftsmen continue to work hard to build trebuchets! ”

Of course, Shi Bao knew that Shu Han's trebuchets had a longer range than his own, and his original idea was not to rely on these trebuchets to break through the city wall - I just used the trebuchet to consume your stone projectiles. If you have the ability, you can continue to vote!

Although Zhang Zun is a little reckless, his IQ is still very high. He soon discovered the problem: the enemy only pushed trebuchets out every day, but the infantry did not follow. As a result, the side consumed a lot of stone bullets, but in addition to destroying hundreds of trebuchets, the number of heads obtained was very small.

"I see. This Shi Zhongrong is really generous. ”

The grinding of a stone projectile is much cheaper than the construction of a large trebuchet. Compared to the fact that Shu Hanfang can now destroy one trebuchet of the enemy every ten stone bullets, Shu Hanfang is a net profit. But what you have to know is that now the two cities of Shu and Han have been besieged to death, and the various materials in the city are used a little less. And what about Shibud's side? The towering giant trees on Zhongnan Mountain, at least in this era, are still endless.

What's more, the stone bullet takes up so much space, whether it is Anguo City or Yixian, it is impossible to store too much. Specific to Anguo City under Zhang Zun's rule, there are only four or five thousand. After a few days, thousands of stone bullets were gone. And what about the trebuchet of the stone bud? But you can play with virtual and real strategies, part of which is a real trebuchet, and part of which is a simple wooden frame. Anyway, I'll line up, can you smash it or not? If I don't hit it, I'll keep going, and when it's in my range, I'll be able to drop stone projectiles too!

"Hmph, this Shi Zhongrong is really shameless. Let's just put their trebuchets here. The closer we are, the higher our accuracy is. ”

With Zhang Zun's order, the Jin army's trebuchet finally brought the Han army's city walls into its own range for the first time.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey" More than a dozen Jin soldiers struggled to pull the cannon tips of the lever-type trebuchet. It took a long time to press the tip of the gun to the ground. Then another group of soldiers struggled to hold a huge stone bullet, and it took a lot of effort to put it into the bullet bag.

The main reason why trebuchets in this era were not used on a large scale and became the main weapon of siege is that the people of this era have not yet organically combined the principle of levers and pulleys. The efficiency, range, and power of a simple lever trebuchet are really much weaker than that of a well-developed counterweight trebuchet.

"Bang dang!" The lever trebuchet was also a trebuchet in the end, and after the Han army gave it sufficient time to prepare, the Jin army's trebuchet still fired stone projectiles.

"Clank!" A stone bomb flew out at high speed, and then smashed heavily on the multi-faceted pure cement wall of Anguo City. As a result, after making a crisp sound, it was quickly bounced off by the edge.

"Hahahaha~~~~" Seeing such a result, Zhang Zun and the others on the city wall couldn't help but laugh loudly while breathing a sigh of relief: "Shibao Lao'er, your master is standing here, you can continue to come if you have a kind!" I promise to give your trebuchet at least one chance to fire! ”

"Hahaha~~~ Shibud Lao'er! There is a kind of coming again! ”

Of course, Shi Bao, who was watching the battle not far away, heard it, but the old man had never seen any strong winds and waves, and the ridicule of Zhang Zun and others could not make him have the slightest emotional fluctuation at all: "The trebuchet continues to throw until it is destroyed by the enemy." ”

"No!"

After saying this, Shi Bao retreated from the front line, ignoring the follow-up clamor of Zhang Zun and others.

"Father, do you want to use abundant manpower to consume the other party's supplies?"

The one who said this was Shi Chong, Shi Bao's youngest son. For this smart little son, Shi Bud is the most favored. He looked around, and after making sure that the people around him were the Shi family's own cronies, he shook his head slightly: "Guan Zifeng is a master, since he dares to put himself in a lonely city." The city must have been plentiful in terms of supplies. Besides, what if all the opponent's stone bullets are consumed? Siege of the city, if it were not for the other party's lack of food. After all, it is necessary for ants to attack the city to take it. But this fortress, how easy is it to get ants to attack the city? Father is making such a big noise here just to cover for your brother. ”

"Oh, speaking of which, I haven't seen my second brother for several days since I crossed the Wei River. Did his father send him to supervise the excavation of the tunnels? ”

"Well, my family's Qi Nuer is really smart. The old team of the father is in Yangzhou, and in this pass, except for the family general and your two brothers I brought. There is nothing that can be completely trusted. Of course, this kind of secret matter can only be handled by your brother himself. ”

"The boy understood. It's just father, can this tunnel siege be successful in a battle? ”

"Well, it's hard to say. But Qi Nuer, you have to know that our surname is Shi, not Sima. Then Sima Wang could report the same thing to His Majesty for several months in a row. We can't be fathers and sons. Therefore, you must always give Your Majesty hope, otherwise, sooner or later, my father will be transferred back to Luoyang. ”

"So it is, the child is taught."

……

It's July 15th. In the past half a month, Shi Bud kept sending a large number of trebuchets to die. In order to save stone bullets to the greatest extent, Zhang Zun also put the opponent's trebuchet at a close distance as much as possible before starting to attack. In half a month, Shibao lost thousands of real and fake trebuchets, and Zhang Zun's stone bullets were also consumed about seventy percent. At the same time, the trebuchets of the Jin State also achieved certain results: at least the west and south walls of Anguo City each had a straight wall, which was originally full of raised prismatic cement spikes, but after the Jin army's life-and-death attack, most of these spikes were knocked out.

That's not the only result. Although the Jin army has paid thousands of casualties in the past half a month, this morale is much higher than when it sat under the city before.

"Almost, the order, tomorrow put in two hundred siege towers, the trebuchet troops also try their best to cooperate, 80,000 people in the south and west of the city, at the same time, attack the city together!"

"No!"
