"How did Gongjin see it?"

Seeing Zhou Yu's performance, everyone around him asked in puzzlement, although Cao Zhang led 10,000 horses to leave the Wei army's camp, but they couldn't know where Cao Zhang was going.

In the eyes of Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, they have arrived not far from the Wei army's camp, and the top priority is naturally to attack the Wei army's camp with all their might, Cao Zhang is not here at this time, under an attack, or he can cooperate with Liu Fengli to give the Wei army a huge blow, instead of following the discovery of the shadow guard at such a time of crisis, even if they can follow Cao Zhang's footsteps to break Cao Zhang's 10,000 horses, in case Shangyong has been broken by Sima Yi and the army when he returns, It's also a thing that outweighs the loss.

"Don't be anxious at this time, the reason why Cao Zhang led 10,000 people to leave the camp at such a time is almost only one possibility, that is, when His Majesty in Shangyong City led the army to resist the fierce resistance, he led the army to move the rescue troops, or ...... Go and pick up something that can cause a heavy blow to Shangyong City in a short period of time. ”

Zhou Yu's statement suddenly made Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, who had some slight words about Zhou Yu's previous words, shut their mouths, they knew that what Zhou Yu said, especially the last sentence, was very reasonable, which reminded them of Liu Feng's efforts to transport Yang Xiu's abandoned large-scale siege equipment to Yizhou when Yang Xiu led the army to attack the city last time.

In this era, although the siege of the city in the vast majority of the time to rely on manpower, but the siege equipment has begun to play an increasingly important role in the siege war, at this time in the siege team of the Wei army, the most casualties to the defending generals are not the Wei soldiers who try their best to climb the city wall, but the dozen or so small catapults carried by Sima Yi here.

Catapults of this size can only be regarded as small siege equipment in this era, and it is precisely because of their ease of transportation that they can go from Wei to Shangyong with foot soldiers, and what Wei now occupies is almost all developed areas, including Luoyang, the capital of the original Han Dynasty, so in Zhou Yu's eyes, the original Han Dynasty's ordnance and Cao Cao's previous expedition to the east and west are very much, otherwise Yang Xiu would not have taken out a few waste large instruments as bait last time.

"Gong Jin thinks that if Cao Zhang really goes to transport any equipment that can cause great damage to Shangyong this time, what will it be?" Zhao Yun thought for a moment, and gradually began to agree with Zhou Yu's remarks in his heart, so he asked in a low voice.

Zhou Yu looked at the north for a long time, and then said slowly: "I think the princes have also heard that when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought a decisive battle in Guandu, Yuan Shao built a high earthen wall outside the camp, which was as hard as the city wall, so that Cao's army suffered a lot of casualties, and then Cao Cao used a thunderbolt to finally break Yuan Shao's camp. ”

"Gong Jin is saying that Cao Zhang went to transport it this time, and it was this thunderbolt?"

Li Chuang also asked anxiously when he heard this, the thunderbolt car, they had indeed heard of it all when they thought about it, although it was only used once when Cao Cao Guandu fought against Yuan Shao, but it was not because this thunderbolt was not easy to use, the ability of the thunderbolt car was the top among the siege equipment, and the reason why it was not used in the wars after the Wei State was because of Cao Cao's strength, and no force had ever posed a threat to him like Yuan Shao.

"Shangyong's city walls are not very strong, and the number of defenders in the city is not large, if you want to capture Shangyong as quickly as possible, it must be a thunderbolt!" Obviously, Zhou Yu still has a lot of confidence in his judgment.

"Now that there are less than three days left before the deadline set by His Majesty for us, Gong Jin thinks that we should first go and destroy all the thunderbolts that Cao Zhang may transport, or solve Your Majesty's crisis in Shangyong first?"

In this way, they did fall into a dilemma, whether to take advantage of the absence of Cao Zhang, the top general in the Wei military camp, to raid the Wei army camp so that it could no longer attack Shangyong, or to concentrate the superior forces to eat Cao Zhang's 10,000 horses and the thunderbolt that might be transported here within a day or two, it is obviously a big question, and the answer to this question is only Zhou Yu can give among the people present.

Listening to Zhao Yun's question, Zhou Yu knew that it was time for him to bear the responsibility and consequences that might be caused, he gritted his teeth slightly, and then looked firmly at the people in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Today's raid on the camp of the Wei army, with our strength, we can only kill Sima Yi without defense at most 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers, once he reacts and turns around to fight with us, even if His Majesty can bring out the remaining tens of thousands of horses in the city at this time to support, we are still more likely to lose in a bloody battle, after all, except for Cao Zhang, There are still more than a dozen fierce generals in the battalion of the Cao army, and the number one of the Wei platoon ......"

Speaking of this, Zhou Yu stopped and looked at Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, obviously, the two of them did not have any intention to refute what he said, so Zhou Yu continued: "If our army ignores the camp of the Wei army for the time being, but follows Cao Zhang's footsteps to the north, if it is not as I expected, Cao Zhang will return in less than a day, as long as we intercept and kill it more than ten miles away from here, we should be able to hide it from Sima Yi for the time being, and after Cao Zhang's subordinates are exterminated, we will not only destroy the 10,000 horses of the Wei army, More importantly, we can use those thunderbolts for our use, so that when we face Sima Yi again......"

When Zhou Yu said this, the rest of the words were self-explanatory, but Zhao Yun and Ma Chao's eyes lit up, they did think of exterminating Cao Zhang before, but they didn't think that once they could use the thunderbolt for them, it would mean to Sima Yi.

After Zhou Yu said these remarks, it was already very obvious what they were doing, seeing that Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and Li Chuang all agreed to seize the thunderbolt car that Cao Zhang might transport, Zhou Yu summoned them to the front and told them the plan they had already thought of, and seeing that everyone had no objections, the plan for Shangyong was thus decided. Although there are some differences from what Liu Feng asked Li Chuang before, they all believe that once they really achieve the goal they want, they may be able to bring a huge surprise to Liu Feng, who is struggling in the city.

In this way, the defenders of Wancheng, who had reached within twenty miles of the Wei army camp, changed the direction of their march, and under the leadership of the shadow guard, quickly moved to the north......
