190, Liu Xie advised the emperor to shoot the thunderbolt with an arrow
When Wu Liren heard this, he couldn't help but be happy, is this Wei Zhongxian a master of the pit? If only Wei Zhongxian could take refuge in Cao Cao, it would be interesting to pit Emperor Liu Xie. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Liu Xie naturally didn't know that Wei Zhongxian was so powerful, he heard that Wei Zhongxian's words had different opinions, so he hurriedly asked, "What does Zhongxian have to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, this word is out of your mouth, it only goes into my ears, and it will never let a third party know." ”
"Your Majesty! Although the Yuan thief is a scourge, but the day of destruction is not far away, if the prime minister's army and Xuzhou Wu Ming fight each other for a period of time, they can consume the strength of the two, and in the long run, it will only be beneficial to His Majesty. Therefore, the slave thought that His Majesty could recall the prime minister, but there was no need to be in a hurry, and the order would be issued later. If he returns from the prime minister, if he blames His Majesty, His Majesty can naturally blame Yang Shangshu for this matter. The fourth and third princes of the Yang family, the prime minister did not dare to be too presumptuous, His Majesty could naturally sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so it was the best policy, which was also the balance of the emperor since ancient times. ”
After Wei Zhongxian's imperial power trick was finished, Liu Xie couldn't help but say yes, and he sighed: "The talent of loyalty and sage is much better than that of many corpses in the court, and he is really my confidant. In the future, if I can revitalize the Han family and dominate the mountains and rivers, I will not treat you badly! ”
After hearing this, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly knelt down, "Slave thank Your Majesty for your great kindness!" ”
Zhang Liao and Yu Ban respectively led people, within ten days, as scheduled, built ten thunderbolt cars, and tested the performance respectively, and then let the soldiers familiar with the operation and control of the use of strength, Cao Cao personally inspected the scene and was greatly satisfied, so people pulled the thunderbolt cars to the outside of Xiapi City, ready for actual combat drills. On the side of the thunderbolt cart, there were piles of large stones of similar shapes and sizes, and then the thunderbolt carts were aimed at the city of Pi one by one. At this time, the guards on the city wall had already discovered Cao Jun's abnormality and hurriedly reported it to Wu Liren and Zong Ze.
Zong Ze, Wu Liren, Chen Jinnan and others came to the city wall again, looking at the strangely shaped chariots in Cao Jun's array, Zong Ze and Chen Jinnan naturally didn't know what those were, but Wu Liren recognized them at first sight, and he secretly screamed at this time: No wonder Cao Cao was a feint attack during this time, it turned out that he was going to make this kind of big killing weapon! Isn't this the thunderbolt that Liu Ye sacrificed in the Battle of Guandu? How did it appear now? The thunderbolt is undoubtedly a cannon in the era of cold weapons, how can people resist it?
Zong Ze saw that Wu Liren's face became ugly, and hurriedly asked, "Doesn't the lord know this strange thing?" ”
Wu Liren nodded and explained to the two: "This thing is called a thunderbolt, it can throw huge stones, and it can shoot stones to hurt people a few hundred steps away. ”
After hearing this, Zong Ze's expression became solemn, he quickly thought about all possible situations, and then asked Wu Liren, "Does the lord know what weaknesses this thing has?" ”
Wu Liren didn't remember very clearly, he thought about it, and said uncertainly: "If the thunderbolt car throws stones, it can't shoot as accurately as a crossbow arrow, and it takes a while to reinstall each car after throwing stones, are these weaknesses?" ”
Zong Ze nodded, "In that case, the thunderbolt is not unbreakable!" ”
When Wu Liren heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "What is Rulin's plan?" ”
"First, the range of the thunderbolt car is about 300 steps, General Hua Rong's divine shooting, if he shoots the bow of two stones, with all his strength, he should be able to shoot to the soldiers who control the thunderbolt car, as long as he shoots a few people, the thunderbolt will definitely lose control instantly, not only can it not shoot into the city, I am afraid that it will also hurt Cao Jun; Second, it takes time for several people to launch the thunderbolt every time, so as long as they see it launched, the defenders of the city are hiding, and if the enemy takes the opportunity to attack, then order the soldiers to defend. When Cao's army attacks the city wall, the thunderbolt will hurt others and hurt itself, although our army will have casualties, Cao's army will inevitably be even more disheartened. ”
After Zong Ze finished speaking, Chen Jinnan nodded involuntarily, and said in a very admiring tone: "General Zong! ”
"General Hua Rong!"
At this time, Hua Rong, who was not far away, heard the sound and ran over, "See the lord, General Zong, and Master Chen!" ”
"Those strange things outside the city are thunderbolts, can General Hua shoot the Cao soldiers next to the thunderbolts?" Zong Ze asked directly.
Hua Rong looked at it, thought about it in his heart, and then replied: "The last general will go all out, or you can give it a try!" ”
Zong Ze laughed and nodded, "General Hua, let's shoot it!" If you can succeed, this battle should be credited! ”
After hearing this, Hua Rong was also very happy in his heart, picked up his two-stone bow from his back, put on the feather arrow, and struggled to pull it away, the bow was full of moon, and the arrow went like a meteor, and the feather arrow flew directly towards a Cao Jun next to one of the trebuchets, and shot into the shoulder of one of the Cao Jun.
After Hua Rong saw it, he shook his head and sighed: "The last general is not good at learning, please forgive the lord and the general!" ”
Zong Ze patted Hua Rong on the shoulder and laughed: "General Hua is not only innocent, but meritorious!" You don't need to shoot a single hit, but you can interfere with the enemy's launch of the Thunderbolt! General Hua himself is careful, and when the enemy thunderbolt throws rocks, remember to dodge! ”
Hua Rong's learning skills are not good, but he caused an uproar in Cao Jun! They thought that they were very safe at a distance of 300 steps, but they didn't expect that they would be shot by the enemy at such a long distance, and for a while, Cao Jun, who was loading stones and launching the thunderbolt car, became uneasy.
At this time, Cao Cao was not far away, and he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that someone of the enemy general had shot his own soldiers, "There is such a capable person in Wu Ming's army?" Can't the Thunderbolt plan be successful? ”
Cao Ren thought for a while and said to Cao Cao: "Prime Minister doesn't need to worry! Wu Ming must want to use this method to interfere with our army, as long as a few more people are arranged next to each thunderbolt, if there are casualties, they can make up for it in time. ”
"What Zixiao said is very reasonable, then do it according to the plan! Let Wu Ming see the power of my thunderbolt! ”
Twenty thunderbolts were ready, but just as Cao Ren was about to give the order to launch, Cao Cao found that all the guards on the city wall were hiding, "Could it be that Wu Ming also knows the power of this thunderbolt?" Why do you seem to be prepared? It's incomprehensible! ”
After the thunderbolt was prepared, Cao Ren ordered the siege troops to set up ladders one after another and rushed to the lower Picheng again. As the thunderbolt began to fire, large stones smashed into the city of Xiapi, and some smashed into the city wall, making a huge sound, and the city wall was also smashed to the whole tremble. At this time, Hua Rong shot three arrows at one of the thunderbolt cars one after another, and the three Cao soldiers were killed or injured in an instant, and the thunderbolt that had just been pulled half of it was out of control in an instant, and the stones smashed straight towards the Cao soldiers who had just run not far away, and the huge stones suddenly knocked down several Cao soldiers, and the ladder they set up also slipped down, and the short chaos made the Cao army behind have to stop the pace of the charge.
After Hua Rong shot these arrows, he immediately ran on the city wall, looking for the next target, at this time, it happened that the stone throwing pole of a thunderbolt car had just been pulled up a little, and after Hua Rong shot Cao Bing, the stones on the thunderbolt fell straight down and smashed into the pivot on the thunderbolt car, and the thunderbolt could not move again no matter what.
