January 197, Chang'an.

"Poof! Burst! A dull sound sounded in the Chang'an East Camp guarded by Huang Erzhen, and from time to time, there would be bursts of miserable screams, which were made by the soldiers who were hit by flying stones.

"Li Yi Xiao'er! It's a shame that you are pretending to be the number one general in the world, and you only dare to shrink into the camp and use such despicable means to ......" Huang Er scolded angrily, but only halfway through his words, he heard an exclamation, "General, be careful!" Then Huang Er felt his body being slammed away, and at the same time heard a muffled sound.

"Li Thief!!" Looking at the guards who were smacked by the flying stones, Huang Er only felt that there was a raging fire burning in his body, and he looked at the trebuchet that was constantly throwing flying stones in Li Jun's camp outside the camp, and he wanted to immediately lead the army to kill them all.

Unfortunately, he can't......

"Protect the General!"

"General, retreat!"

At the same time, Lu Bu, who was standing next to the trebuchet on a red horse, looked at the camp in front of him that was riddled with holes by these large number of trebuchets, and suddenly couldn't help but sigh, "I really can't imagine that this kind of trebuchet called the thunderbolt developed by the Ministry of Industry under the Lord's Order is so terrifying, and we can't help it." ”

"Hehe, the general said with a smile, although this thunderbolt cannon is very powerful, it has a slow firing speed, and it is estimated that it will not have much effect on the city wall. And most importantly, where can so many trebuchets be laid out in ordinary terrain? Li Dao on the side smiled when he heard this.

"Yes, but if this thunderbolt cannon is smaller, more powerful, and can be easily transported......" Fan Chou muttered angrily as he looked at the flying stone urns in the sky.

"Haha, if there really is such a day, we can lay down our weapons and go home to farm!" Lu Bu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and Li Dao and Fan Chou on the side also couldn't help laughing.

On the walls of Chang'an City.

"Thunderbolt cannon......" Ma Chao stared at the trebuchet in the distance that kept throwing flying stones, and next to it was a stone about forty or fifty catties. This is what Ma Chao ordered Huang Er to send into the city yesterday, and this stone is also the biggest piece of the Huang Er camp that has been smashed these days.

"Do you think this kind of thing is a big threat?" Ma Chao asked in a deep voice after a deep groan.

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, if the enemy can only throw stones of this weight, there will not be much threat to the city wall." Bao said after thinking about it.

The minister also thinks that this so-called thunderbolt cannon can still be used even if it destroys the camp. Facing the city walls, there is no role at all. Yin Feng also opened his mouth and agreed.

"However, in this situation, I'm afraid it will be difficult for General Huang to hold out for too long......," Yang Fu said in a heavy tone.

Zhang Ning arranged four battalions in order to serve as a bridgehead in Chang'an City and consume a wave of Li troops first. But now, in the past month, Li Jun will launch an offensive for a while, and then almost all of them will use this kind of thunderbolt to destroy the defense of the camp. Although Ma Chao sent Zhang Heng to lead the army to attack, and ordered the northern and southern battalions to support the eastern battalion, they were all firmly blocked by Li Yi's faction.

"Turn possible field battles into positional warfare, and limit the field advantage of the Liangzhou soldiers under Ma Chao to the greatest extent. At the same time, turning offense into defense, with a large number of bows and crossbows, the consumption of our army will be reduced to a minimum......" Li Yi fiddled with the sand table in front of him, but on it, it was a sketch of the entire Chang'an and the surrounding terrain.

"Lord, although the Liangzhou soldiers are very strong in the field, our army is definitely stronger than them! As for the Liangzhou cavalry, Dong Zhuo was not the opponent of the flying cavalry battalion when he was still alive in the past, let alone today. Lu Wen looked at Li Yi with blazing eyes and said.

"Although it is said that human life is like a mustard in troubled times, I think that there is nothing in this world that can compare to human life. If you can reduce a large number of casualties among soldiers by consuming some dead objects such as arrows, crossbow arrows, and flying stones, then it is worth it. Li Yi said lightly when he heard this.

Speaking of this, Li Yi looked up at Lu Wen's adoring look, and suddenly showed a hint of a playful smile, "And...... Even if you really want to fight with them, it won't be your turn to fight. ”

"Humph! If you don't go up, you can't get on it! I didn't say I had to go into battle! Lu Wen snorted when she heard this, and at the same time made a twisted look, which made Li Yi dizzy for a while. But I wasn't fascinated by Lu Wen's posture, but I was really dizzy. After all, Lu Wen is now wearing a heroic armor, coupled with coiled hair, and the crisp sound of the armor when it is twisting......

It's just that Lu Wen seems to be a little mistaken, and when she saw Li Yi's somewhat sluggish appearance, she thought that Li Yi was fascinated by herself. "Hehe, the trick taught by Sister Cicada is easy to use~" Lu Wen thought while trying to walk towards Li Yi with a graceful posture, and still learned Du Yue's somewhat sneering voice and said coquettishly, "Lord~"

"Stop!" Just as Lu Wen was about to come up to him, Li Yi finally came back to his senses and shouted.

"Humph!" Seeing this, Lu Wen secretly said pity, and then snorted and walked back to her position depressedly.

"It's dangerous...... Li Yi wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, and then said angrily, "Lingqi, you girl is not suitable for learning cicadas at all, and you are not allowed to do this again in the future!" ”

"Humph! Is the lord saying that I am not as gentle and virtuous as my daughter's family?? Lu Wen snorted dissatisfiedly when she heard this, and her gaze at Li Yi also carried a trace of unkindness. Obviously, if Li Yi can't give her a satisfactory answer, she doesn't mind recording it and waiting until she returns to Luoyang to find an organization to make a small report.

"Of course not, it's just that your original normal appearance I think is the most beautiful......" Li Yi shook his head again and again, but then directly diverted the topic, "I know, you want Feng Xian to make more achievements, right?" Don't worry, there are many opportunities. The Thunderbolt is very flawed, so it can only be used when attacking the camp......"

As Li Yi said, the purpose of what Lu Wen said just now was to let his father make more military achievements. In fact, not only Lu Wen or Lu Bu wanted to make meritorious contributions, but also Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and others were eager to make meritorious contributions. After all, after so many years of preparation, just to fight such a Chang'an City, who doesn't want to get the first credit in this battle?

It's just that when he said this, Li Yi's tone suddenly became a little helpless. This thunderbolt was made up by him and Ma Ming and others from the Ministry of Industry. But strictly speaking, it was actually made according to the famous return cannon in the future. And after Li Yi put forward this idea, Ma Ming quickly came up with a prototype, because the principle is really simple. The only problem is the ratio of the weight of the projectile, the weight of the counterweight, and the length of the lever.

It's just that although this kind of big killing weapon from the cold weapon period has been brought out, it is obvious that this thing is not as easy to use as Li Yi imagined. On the one hand, if you want to be powerful, you need very heavy weights. And this kind of thing, obviously, there is no way to take local materials, so transportation has become a very troublesome thing.

On the other hand, this thing didn't perform well in the experimental phase. The so-called maximum power at least the test is also difficult to destroy the city walls. In fact, even one of the most outstanding achievements of the Huihui Artillery, helping the Mongols capture the city of Xiangyang, did not really rely on the Huihui Artillery.

At least in Li Yi's eyes, the biggest effect of this small thunderbolt cannon is to attack the current camp. Whether it is destroying the fortifications of the camp or suppressing the morale of the enemy army, it is very useful.

After shaking his head and throwing the distracting thoughts in his mind out of his mind, Li Yi's gaze fell back on the sand table in front of him, "I just don't know, when the fortifications of the camp can't work, then Zhang Ning is planning to fight me in the field?" Or will they all retreat into the city? ”

Lu Wen on the side saw that Li Yi was deep in thought, although she still had a lot to say in her heart, she still chose to hold it in her heart, standing beside Li Yi and looking at him silently. Although sometimes Lu Wen seems to be a little big or small, when needed, Lu Wen can immediately return to the role she should play.

Otherwise, although she is Lu Bu's daughter, and Li Yi, Cai Yan and others love her very much, it will not be a reason for Lu Wen to stay here. Public and private, Li Yi has always been very clear, in fact, even if Li Yi does not give the order, Cai Yan will intervene after knowing it.

Time passed day by day, and with the continuous ejection of flying stones by the thunderbolts, the fortifications of Dongying had basically been completely destroyed, and even the trench in front of the camp had been filled with flying stones.

"I didn't expect it, it only lasted for more than a month......" Zhang Ning sighed helplessly.

"Mother, what should I do now?" Ma Chao asked a little impatiently, he has been like this all this time all this time, not only because his side has been suppressed by Li Jun, but also because this style of play makes him feel too aggrieved. It's a pity that he really didn't have the courage to mention to Zhang Ning that he would personally lead the army to the battle.

I have to say that although Ma Chao has become the emperor of the Taiping Kingdom, his dependence on Zhang Ning has not decreased but increased.

"Hmm...... Is there any movement on the Kanto side? And that Kebi can ......" Hearing this, Zhang Ning pondered for a moment, then turned his head to look at Wang Yi and asked.

"Back to Mujun, because Li Yi's probe horses have spread all over Chang'an, our spies ......" Wang Yi sighed helplessly.

"Really? Then forget it. What are your thoughts on what is going on outside the city? Zhang Ning nodded casually when he heard this, and then asked again.

"Queen Mother, Erchen thinks that you can try it out, and during this time, although it seems that the morale of the soldiers is very low, there is also a wave of anger in your heart......" Wang Yi replied respectfully.

"Makes sense, so let's do it. Meng Qi, I'll leave this matter to you. After all, you are the emperor of my Taiping Kingdom, and you can't ask me everything, otherwise the ministers will have thoughts in their hearts if they don't say it. But remember, once the situation is unfavorable, immediately Mingjin, collect troops and return to the city! Zhang Ning looked at Ma Chao and nodded in a deep voice.

"Erchen understands."

Hearing this, Zhang Ning nodded, then turned his head to look at Wang Yi and said, "Jun Qi, you can come and assist Meng Qi well, but don't let him act recklessly." ”

"Please rest assured." Wang Yi hurriedly responded, but Ma Chao also promised again and again.

"Alas, there is no news from the Kanto side, and I am afraid that this side will be forced to enter the city defense battle again......" Looking at the back of Ma Chao and the two leaving, Zhang Ning thought a little helplessly.

Early the next morning.

"Oh? Is the enemy ready to abandon the camp outside the city? is worthy of being a strange woman who can come to this point, this kind of courage, even if it is these princes in the world, I am afraid that few can compare. When Li Yi heard this, a trace of admiration suddenly appeared in his heart. Although he thought of this, he didn't expect Zhang Ning to act so quickly. After all, completely giving up the defensive camp that has been arranged for many years, even if it is replaced by Li Yi himself, he will be a little unwilling.

However, Lu Bu and the others obviously didn't have such thoughts as Li Yi, they only knew that this was the best opportunity to attack! Even if you can't take the opportunity to enter the city, you can still make a lot of credit. In an instant, Li Yi felt that everyone's hot gaze fell on him.

"You don't have to look at me like that." Li Yi looked at everyone a little helplessly and said, then his expression changed, and his tone became serious, "Feng Xian, when the enemy starts to act, you will immediately lead the army to launch an attack on the enemy's east camp!" Gong Zhi, Yun Chang, and Zilong, the three of you are still in charge of the north and south, as well as the enemies that may be killed in the city. Wenyuan, you stay in the camp and stand by, ready to support at any time! ”

"No!"

"Bongxian, remember, this time, don't worry about casualties. Hit me hard! Hit the momentum! Li Yi looked at Lu Bu and said in a deep voice.

"Please rest assured!" Lu Bu replied loudly when he heard this, and his eyes were full of fire.

At the same time, Ma Chao's side is also preparing.

"Tell Bowen that they are absolutely not allowed to take half a step back until there is a gold in the city! In addition, let Shu Tao go directly to support Ji Luo and see if there is a way to defeat that Guan Yubu! Ma Chao ordered in a deep voice. Zhong Yi, Wen Cai, you go to the south and north city walls to command, once you find that something is wrong, don't hesitate, immediately Mingjin retreats! ”

"No!"

Everyone took the order and left, and Ma Chao also took Han Qian and others to climb the east city wall. Under their watchful eyes, Li's troops quickly divided into four parts, and quickly marched in their respective directions.

"Although I don't want to admit it, whether it is speed or the quality of the soldiers, Li Jun is better than our army......" Ma Chao couldn't help but sigh after being silent for a moment. He had trained the Tiger Army with his own hands, so he knew very well how difficult it was to train a force that was forbidden by order.

"Hehe, Your Majesty don't worry, although the enemy's obedience is very high, but in this way, it will definitely lose the wolf nature that the troops should have!" Hearing this, Han Qian on the side chuckled.
