How is Chapter 857 good
In fact, there was such an accident, and it was really not to blame the soldiers under the command of Gongsun Du.
This kind of trebuchet transformed by Liu Ye, a strategist under Cao Cao, is much stronger than the old trebuchet before, but it is impossible to achieve a hundred shots.
Even with the help of precision machinery and precision sights in later generations, there is still a possibility of misshooting or misshooting.
Under such conditions in the world, if you want to say that you can achieve a hundred shots, even Liu Ye, the improver of the new trebuchet, will not believe it.
If the messenger sent by Cao Jun was Liu Ye, he would definitely introduce his improved trebuchet to Gongsun Du in detail, but unfortunately Liu Ye did not come to the camp of the Liaodong Army.
Cao Cao sent only a man of eloquence, and in order to maximize the price paid by his lord, he would of course exaggerate these new trebuchets as if there were heavens and earth.
This also misled Gongsun Du's judgment, making him think that as long as these trebuchets were used, even the strongest city walls in front of him could only helplessly let out a cry of sorrow and turn into powder!
But why can Gongsun Dujun's first throw be able to hit 100 shots, it can only be said that Liu Yujun's fate at that moment is too much.
This will be the miracle that even if Liu Ye is present, he will be dumbfounded, and the miracle may happen for the first time, but it will never happen one after another.
Therefore, Gongsun Du's second attack was tragic, not only did he accidentally injure his subordinates, but even the number of casualties among his subordinates was much higher than that of the enemy army.
The use of this new type of trebuchet improved by Liu Ye is actually not used by Gongsun Du at all.
According to Liu Ye, this trebuchet should be the first to enter the battlefield.
These trebuchets can inflict massive damage on enemy armies and deter them from emboldening them before they become entangled with their own armies.
However, once the own army and the enemy army are entangled, these trebuchets will be withdrawn to the camp.
The current technology has not yet developed to such an accuracy that can be cleared at a fixed point!
The nonsense of Cao Jun's envoy and Gongsun Du's unclear judgment of the instrument made this accidental injury happen vividly in front of the soldiers on both sides.
At that time, the morale of the Youzhou soldiers was suddenly brought to the top, and on the other hand, the Liaodong army that was sent to attack the city became depressed one by one.
Gongsun Du once again forced his subordinates to attack a few times and found out.
If he continues like this, let alone attack the Jixian County in front of him, maybe his soldiers will mutini in the army before the city is broken.
In order to prevent such a serious consequence from happening, Gongsun Du could only reluctantly order the big battalion to withdraw the troops.
With the sound of golden sounds, Gongsun Du's subordinates were somewhat defeated and retreated to their own camp.
After returning to his camp, Gongsun Du immediately sent someone to arrest the general of the Slinger Army and Cao Cao's envoy, and he had to find out what had happened today.
The general of the Slingling Army naturally felt that he was extremely wronged, and all the orders he had given before were not wrong, and they were all in accordance with the norms.
Even if it was his own soldiers, he interrogated them one by one later.
I didn't find anything wrong with the operation of these soldiers, so the problem was not with them at all.
As for the envoy sent by Cao Cao to Gongsun Du's army, after this large-scale accidental injury, he knew that his cowhide was a little too big.
Of course, he also knew that if the incident happened, according to Gongsun Du's temper, he could leave him a whole corpse, even if his ancestors were virtuous, it was very likely that Gongsun Du would order someone to dismantle him.
So before he entered the big tent of Gongsun Du, he secretly decided.
Even if Gongsun Du punished him, he would not admit that it was because of his mistake that this large-scale accidental injury occurred.
When I saw the two people in front of me, they were fighting with each other like cockfights.
Gongsun Du only felt that his head was in a daze, and of course his subordinates understood.
This general was specially sent to command the trebuchet, and he could be said to be unusually cautious, and would never shirk any responsibility that belonged to him.
So if it was really his mistake and the evil consequences caused, it would be absolutely impossible for this subordinate of his own to stand in front of him and scold each other with such righteous words!
Then there is only one possibility left, and that is that Cao Cao's messenger is lying.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Du took an arrow step and came to the other party, and then stared at the other party with an unusually cold look.
Cao Cao's envoy felt a chill all over his body in Gongsun Du's eyes, and even in the warm spring-like tent, he couldn't help but shiver several times.
With such eyes and such coercion, for a while he felt as if he had returned to the lord's command, and only when facing the lord would he be so flustered!
"Mr. Wang, in fact, Ben Hou already knew that the reason why such a bad situation happened today is all because of you! If you can stand up for yourself, Ben Hou may also consider sparing your life. But if you quibble like this again, Ben Hou can only order someone to drag you out, and tell Ben Hou's soldiers that it is only because of you that their robes will be injured by mistake! Think for yourself what kind of tragedy will happen at that time! ”
After listening to Gongsun Du's words, the envoy surnamed Wang sent by Cao Cao to the Liaodong Army couldn't help but fall to his knees.
What Gongsun Du said just now was like an incomparably sharp knife, cutting his heart with a knife.
At this time, the soldiers in Gongsun Du's camp who participated in today's siege all held their breath, waiting for their lord to give them an explanation.
Once Gongsun Du pushed himself out and put all the responsibility for today's accident on his head, those angry soldiers didn't eat themselves raw!
When the time comes, let alone leave a whole corpse, you may not even have a little bit of meat left.
As soon as he thought of such an ending, it would immediately be staged on himself, and the reason of this messenger surnamed Wang completely collapsed.
"General Gongsun, this matter is all the fault of the villain! It's the villain's exaggeration, but in fact, the trebuchet is not as accurate as the villain said, and its exact usage should be ......"
Listening to the bastard in front of him, Gongsun Du wanted to draw his sword and cut this puppet on the spot, but he soon suppressed this thought.
After all, this bastard is Cao Cao's messenger, and he is still counting on cooperating with Cao Cao in the future.
If Cao Cao's envoy is killed now, it is likely to have an adverse impact on future cooperation.
But if you don't kill this bastard, how can the anger of your own soldiers be calmed?
If he can't calm the anger of the soldiers, he believes that tomorrow there will not be any soldiers who will obey his orders and continue to attack the damned city in front of him!
