When Chen Rang saw what was on the chariot covered by the tarpaulin, Chen Rang's face turned green.

your seventh uncle and grandmother!

Lu Bu, you also have a grandson!

You didn't give birth to a son, you!

Those chariots turned out to be catapults.

Not only that, but the chariot was carrying large and small stones!

Chen Rang made a lot of calculations, but he didn't calculate that Lu Bu would use a catapult.

There are shield soldiers in the Eight Arrays, and the shields are made of very large and thick wooden boards, which require the cooperation of two or three shield players to use.

When he first encountered the Eight Formation Diagram, Lu Bu had used the method of long-range bow and arrow shooting.

However, when he encountered the shield defense in the eight array diagrams, it failed to achieve results, and Lu Bu had to give up this breakthrough method.

But now it's different, now people have replaced it with catapults, Lao Tie!

Will these shields be able to withstand flying stones? The answer is no, it can't be defended.

However, at this time, Chen Rang actually didn't have too much to worry about.

Because the catapults of this era can only throw at a distance of seventy or eighty meters, and now they are far away from a hundred meters, and they will definitely not be able to reach their large array.

Chen Rang took it for granted that Lu Bu would definitely let the catapult continue to get closer, at least to a distance of about fifty meters away from them before launching.

Since this catapult is not a bow and arrow, it is quite difficult to continue moving after fixing it.

Bow shooting can be stuck at a limit distance, but a catapult will not be too useful if it is stuck at a limit distance.

What Chen Rang was thinking about now was to limit Lu Bu's catapult to eighty meters away no matter what, and definitely not let him get close to the Eight Formations.

Once they get close, it's a nightmare for them.

Chen Rang quickly issued one order after another, and the archers in the eight formations moved quickly, preparing to block the people's soldiers who were attacking.

Not only the archers, but also the cavalry on the periphery were ready to charge, ready to charge at any time.

However, to Chen Rang's infinite consternation, those stone throwers did not mean to impact forward at all, but directly loaded the stone bullets and were already preparing to launch.

Nani?

Could it be that they are projected from such a distance?

Are they going to scare us to death in this way?

Burn the pen!

Although Chen Rang had a faint feeling that the people's soldiers would definitely have their intentions in doing this, and they would definitely not play here.

But Chen Rang really couldn't guess what the people's soldiers thought.

No matter what, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, and act when the opportunity arises!

The next moment, with Zhao Zilong's order, the projection vehicle in the people's army was suddenly launched.

Suddenly, the stones shot out from the sky, making a terrible sound in the air.

At this time, Chen Rang's expression changed greatly, and he finally realized that something was wrong.

This, this-

How can it be?

How could the stone projectiles fired by their catapults be so far away?

Although it was difficult to estimate the specific distance of the stone projectile fired by the projection vehicle for a while, Chen Rang already had a hunch that it would definitely fall into the Eight Array Diagram.

Is this what they rely on?

In the next moment, the stone bullets in the sky fell into the Eight Array Diagram one after another.

Each stone bullet weighed eighty or ninety pounds, and at this moment, it fell from the sky, with an incomparably terrifying impulse, and smashed down quickly.

The shield, which looked thick and thick, was directly broken under the impact of the stones, and the shield soldiers under the shield, as well as the archers or other troops protected by them, were suddenly smashed into meat cakes, and the flesh and blood were blurred, and it was miserable.

For a while, this area has become a purgatory on earth!

you, seventh uncle and grandmother!

Their catapults can throw at least a distance of 1780 meters! (In ancient times, the distance was calculated in steps, and here it is converted to meters for ease of understanding)

Catapults were relatively rough during the Three Kingdoms period of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

It was not until the Sui and Tang dynasties that there was a further improvement.

By the Song Dynasty, the technology had been quite mature, according to the "Wujing General Essentials" record, the Song Dynasty's catapult was about able to throw 90 catties of stones, throwing to a distance of 90 steps, converted into meters, about 140 meters.

According to the research of later generations, the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" may have been kept secret or deliberately misled by the enemy, and the range of the catapult was greatly shortened.

Some people estimate that the maximum throwing distance of the catapult reaches an astonishing 500 meters!

Uh, well, a bit of a braggart, a bit of a push.

However, the catapult made by Lu Bu according to the style of the catapult in the Song Dynasty can be thrown to a distance of about 200 meters.

The distance of two hundred meters is enough to form a perfect blow to the Eight Formation Diagram.

……

At this time, Chen Rang's heart had sunk to the bottom.

I didn't think about it, this is the second time that the Jiangdong army has encountered the Eight Array Diagram, and they have already thought of the most incomsurable way to crack it.

This is the most violent, the least technical, but at the same time the most unsolvable solution.

In the face of this simple and crude crack, no matter how good and powerful the commander is, there is nothing to be done.

Faced with this scene, Chen Rang couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly ordered his cavalry to attack the catapult team.

At the same time, he ordered one of the eight formations to attack in an all-out manner, and it was extremely necessary to kill all the catapults on the Jiangdong side.

Otherwise, there will be no way to fight today's battle!

But since they dare to put on such a posture, how can the Jiangdong side not have any preparations?

Once Chen Rang's soldiers came out of the turtle shell of the Eight Formations, how could the Jiangdong army take them seriously?

With Zhao Zilong's order, the cavalry of the Shenji Battalion had already rushed up to meet the cavalry sent by Chen Rang.

The last time they faced the Eight Array Diagram, the Shenji Battalion was too aggrieved, and this time, it was finally time for them to raise their eyebrows and take revenge!

And in the face of the flanking attack of one of the soldiers in the Eight Formations, the Jiangdong side came out to fight, and it was directly a thousand heavily armed soldiers in the trap camp!

In this confrontation with the Eight Formation Diagram, Lu Bu finally sent out a trapping camp!

Even after the fall of the camp, there were a thousand soldiers of the God of War battalion who were responsible for protecting the safety of those catapults and the soldiers who operated them.

This time, Lu Bu made a bloody investment, and he must defeat the enemy in one battle, crack the eight formation diagrams, and completely defeat Chen Rang's 30,000 army!

After capturing this area, the infantry team led by Zhang Fei and Guan Yu had already slaughtered along the gap.

And the catapult team was not idle, and after advancing a hundred meters in the direction of the front, they continued to shoot.

When a cart of rocks is gone, a cart of stone bullets will follow.

There were soldiers who specialized in transporting stone projectiles.

In the past three days, Lu Bu's army did nothing else, and all went to the field to collect stone bullets.

This also directly led to the fact that in the area outside Xiangyang City, there were no decent big stones at all.

These stones, against the 30,000 army in Xiangyang, are enough!
