Seeing Jin Liang's tyranny, Li Cheng, the head of the Li family, was so afraid that he was going to die, and said tremblingly: "That Li Cheng originally had a Wu Fort, but Li Cheng disliked the simplicity and narrowness there, so he moved his family to me, saying that when he got rid of the general, he was going to build that Wu Fort bigger than me, so the money he hid in that Wu Fort was not transferred!" ”

"Oh, his family is small with you, and his money is still in that Wu Fort, where is that Wu Fort?" Jin Liang asked sharply. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"His fort was on the hill behind the county guard's mansion, and it was stockpiled with the people's fat and ointment he had looted over the years, as well as a large amount of grain. General, if you want to ask anything, just ask the old man, what the old man knows must know everything, and he just asks the general to forgive the old man's life! "That Li Cheng has gray hair and seems to be in his sixties.

"You old man, you don't care for the elderly, and you still follow others to fool around, you are still ignorant at such an age, what's the point of living!" After asking everything clearly, Jin Liang shook his head, how could he let go of anyone who was hostile to him and had taken practical action, waved his hand and motioned for Dian Wei to pull Li Cheng out and handle it according to Li Cheng's treatment.

On the side of the Wangjia Castle, Zheng Hun's twenty thunderbolt cars came to disassemble and assemble, which took two hours, and during this time period, Jin Liang allocated 10,000 horses to Zhang Jaw for him to mobilize, and he must capture the Wangjia Castle and completely eradicate this force.

Jin Liang left Xu Huang to take care of all the affairs of Li Jiawu Fort, personally led 2,000 Flying Tiger troops to help Zhang Jaw, and at the same time wanted to see the scene of the Thunderbolt breaking Wu Fort with his own eyes. When Jin Liang arrived at Wangjia Wu Fort, he saw that twenty thunderbolt cars had been erected three hundred steps in front of Wu Fort.

The chassis of each Thunderbolt is equipped with wheels and gears. The boom is equipped with wheels, cranks, levers, gears, and screws. A range of mechanism configurations. With Zheng Hun's painstaking efforts and Lu Bu's guidance, the gears and wheels skillfully used the principle of levers to place dozens of stones briskly on the crane arm of the thunderbolt. The wheel disc installed at the junction of the boom and the chassis of the Thunderbolt can allow the boom to rotate up to 300 times, and it can flexibly adjust the target at any time according to the enemy's activities. In order to increase the strength and distance of the blow, the boom is designed to be very long, four or five feet, and it rises high. It looks very spectacular, so that the officers and men of the Central Army are full of confidence when they see it, and they believe that with such a powerful strike weapon, they will definitely be able to break through any fortified city.

Because the chassis, boom, and connections have been carefully arranged, this thunderbolt has become less cumbersome than the original catapult, and the catapult, which originally required forty or fifty people to operate with difficulty, can now be easily controlled by only a dozen soldiers. Zheng Hun was dressed in military uniform, standing behind the thunderbolt formation, and personally commanded the bombing.

"Prepare to recharge!" Zheng Hun raised his sword.

The hundreds of sturdy soldiers squeaked and shook the gear cranks of the chassis, and the iron net hanging from the boom that had been lying on the ground was full of stones. The boom was quickly hoisted in mid-air.

"Thunderbolt Stone!" Zheng Hun swung the sword in his hand.

The soldiers suddenly exerted force, and the boom shook rapidly. Throw the stones from the iron fence at the head of the castle of the king's house.

The stones are flying all over the sky, the stones are of different sizes, some are as big as a grinding plate, some are as big as a winter melon, and some are only as big as a fist, but after a few zhang long hanging arm throwing, the stone is fierce, like a meteorite hitting the earth, flying to Wangjiawu Fort, smashing on the fragile wall of Wangjiawu Fort, for a while, the gravel flies wildly, and there is a loud crackling sound, which is really like a thunderbolt and lightning.

Many Wang family members couldn't dodge, and were smashed into meat puree alive, even if they could avoid those stones the size of grinding plate winter melons, but they couldn't avoid the gravel the size of a fist egg, and when they hit their heads, they broke a hole in their heads, and their bones and tendons broke when they hit their bodies. After a while, dozens of big holes were smashed out of the wall, and nearly 1,000 people were killed and injured by the Wang family on the wall.

If the thunderbolt of the official army is allowed to rage, the wall of Wangjiawu Fort will be smashed sooner or later, and the Wang family will run down from the wall in a swarm, and when the wall is undefended, the officers and soldiers will take advantage of the situation. Wang Shao, the head of the Wang family, saw that the situation was not good, and wanted to use bows and arrows to shoot the officers and soldiers who operated the thunderbolt car, and ten thousand arrows were fired at the same time, shooting to the city, but those arrow feathers reached two hundred steps, and they were already powerless, and those officers and soldiers who operated the thunderbolt car were all dressed tightly and neatly, and the arrow feathers fell on them, like scratching their boots, and fell to the ground.

Wang Shao wanted to order all the men and horses and rush out to destroy the twenty thunderbolts, but found that the two thousand elite horsemen of the official army behind the thunderbolt were facing him under a blood-red flag, and the red flag had the golden characters of Dou Da written on it, no matter how stupid Wang Shao was, he knew that Jin Liang had arrived, how could he have the courage to come out and compete with Jin Liang, so he had no choice but to shout in fear: "General, we surrendered, will you kill us?!" ”

"If you really surrender, I will never kill you!" Jin Liang swore solemnly. Jin Liang will not kill those who surrender actively, nor will he kill such passive surrenderers, but for this kind of passive surrenderers, Lu Bu will make them live worse than death.

"General Jin Liang, what do you want me to do before I can be regarded as a sincere surrender?!" Wang Shao asked.

"Open the gate, abandon all the weapons, kneel on the ground, wait for our central army to enter and collect, if we wait for our army to attack the village, if there are still people with weapons in their hands, they will be killed!" Jin Liang's face was murderous.

"What if you don't keep your promise and kill us?" Wang Shao knew that Jin Liang was a guy who was good to his own people but very bad to the enemy, and he was always speechless to the enemy, so he didn't believe in Jin Liang's promise very much.

"To tell you the truth, you people may all be under the rule of my central army in the future, and do things for my central official army, the more you die, the less benefits I can get in the future, I still expect you to give me my life, why should I kill indiscriminately?! If you all surrender willingly, why should I do it? Jin Liang showed the expression of a businessman in the market, only a few of these people can be incorporated into the Central Army, most of them can be sent to mine, there are many iron mines, coal mines, and copper mines in Jingzhou and Bingzhou, but there are too few laborers.

"Do you have any other options? If you hesitate for a moment, General Ben will fight to kill a few elite soldiers of the central government and army, and he will also wash your Wu Fort in blood. If you don't want your royal family to burn everything. Hurry up and open the door and surrender! Jin Liang saw that Wang Shao was still hesitating. He shouted loudly. At the same time, he opened the overlord bow and shot out a dark iron arrow, and at a distance of two hundred steps, a dark iron arrow was shot on Wang Shao's helmet, Jin Liang said sharply: "If I wanted your dog life, I would have shot you a long time ago, so don't open the door quickly!" ”

"Wen Hou Divine Shooter!" When the officers and men of the Central Army saw that Jin Liang's arrow could hit Wang Shao's helmet on the head of the city two hundred paces away, they couldn't help but thunder with joy. shouted in unison: "Wen Hou Divine Shooting, unparalleled in the world!" ”

Xu Huang glanced at Pan Feng and Pan Wushuang beside him, and snorted coldly: "Pan Feng, you usually call yourself a peerless general, but do you use your axe as delicately as I do?" Do you have the skill of archery as well as the master's archery? What skills do you have to dare to call yourself a peerless general?! Shame on you?! ”

Pan Fengwen said angrily: "General Xu, I have been wronged, Admiral Wushuang is the title given to me by the lord!" ”

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it was also Han Fu's old thing who said, "I have the general Pan Feng, but I can kill Huaxiong", do you think I want to be that bird general? The axe is too heavy.

The general was angry. Wang Shao will go down to the city and surrender now, and ask the general for forgiveness. Wang Shao took off his helmet. Looking at the black arrow feathers on the root of the helmet, he was so frightened that he hurriedly ordered someone to open the gate of Wu Fort, and all the people put down their weapons, knelt on the ground, and waited for Jin Liangna to surrender.

Zhang Jaw hurriedly ordered 2,000 archers to enter the city to control the high point and prevent the Wang family soldiers below from rebelling, and Zhang Jaw led the remaining men and horses into the castle to control all those Wang family members.

It was only at this time that Jin Liang urged the horse to enter the Wangjiawu Fort. Of course, Jin Liang wanted to rush into Wangjiawu Fort first, but his subordinates were so anxious that they refused to let him take any risks. A few days ago, Guo Jia, Chen Lin, Han Hao, Dong Zhao, and other senior generals of the Central Army, as well as Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Zhang Jaw, Gao Lan, Zheng Gu, Huang Zhong, Wang Yue, and Xu Huang, got together and held a meeting, the theme of which was how to give full play to the martial arts of the lord and not let the lord be in danger.

At that time, Guo Jia said very seriously: "The hero's bravery is the best in the world, it is not too much to say that it is the first in the world, but the open gun is easy to block the dark arrow is difficult to prevent, if the lord blindly relies on the invincible courage of the world to take the lead, charge ahead, and do not avoid the arrows, then the danger he encounters will multiply, we can not expect the lord is the destiny of heaven, you think about how brave the Qingji in the Spring and Autumn Period is, and it is not that he died in the hands of the villain." We as courtiers can't let the lord take any risks, he is a major military affair, he is really the pillar of my Han Optimus, in case he has misfortune, how will the country and society be stable, and how will everyone here deal with themselves?! ”

"However, the prestige of the lord in the past is to rely on a bloody brave charge into battle and go forward to break down, and the lord likes to fight on the battlefield to capture the flag, even if we can persuade the lord to take risks for a while, but over time, the soldiers in the army do not have the courage of the lord as a call, the morale and combat effectiveness of the army will decline significantly, and the lord will also be depressed." Gao Shun frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Let's protect the lord, not to restrict him from going head-to-head, not to restrict him from rushing into battle, but in the face of the kind of places where there may be ambushes, traps and dangers, we as subordinates must first eliminate the danger before we can let the lord appear." Dong Zhao's sentence was the final word, laying the foundation for the protection of Jin Liang by the officers and men of the Central Army.

Jin Liang felt constrained at first, although there were talismans left by Xuanyuan Xue, they were basically consumables. So when I thought of what happened to Sun Jian and Sun Ce, I was relieved.

However, although the word "first" will be used less in the future, Jin Liang still has to do it himself, and he wants to use his supreme martial arts to stimulate the morale and combat effectiveness of the Central Army.

Jin Liang entered Wangjiawu Fort and looked down at Wang Shao, who was kneeling in front of the red rabbit horse: "Since you took the initiative to surrender, I will abide by my original promise and never kill you." ”

Wang Shao was overjoyed, and threw himself to the ground: "General Xie is not killed!" ”

"However, you colluded with Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun, Yuan Kui, Li Cheng, Li Sheng and other traitors, united with the other three families, incited the hearts of the central army, and led the troops to attack the palace of the Son of Heaven and my mansion, do you know what crimes you have committed?" Jin Liang shouted sharply.

Wang Shao trembled his body: "The villain knows that it is a big crime of rebellion, and I hope that the general will say a few kind words in front of the Empress Dowager He, the son of heaven, and spare the villain, and the villain is willing to dedicate all his family property to the general." ”

Jin Liang shook his head contemptuously: "After my central government and army occupied your Wubao, all your family property has been mine, and it is not your turn to dedicate it." You. What use do you have? If you're just a useless waste, I'll treat you like waste. ”

"Ah, the villain still has a few concubines, who are as beautiful as flowers, and please smile at the general." Wang Shao smiled disgustingly.

"As I said, when I stepped into your Wu Fort, everything you have here is mine, and I don't need you to dedicate it. I'll take it myself, what you said is like a flower, General Ben is not interested, you better say something you can do in the future, right?! ”

When Jin Liang heard what was as beautiful as a flower, he remembered the Ruhua in the Xing Ye's movie, so he didn't spit out the overnight meal, and those beautiful concubines should wait and hand them over to other soldiers to deal with.

"The villain really doesn't understand what the general means?!" Wang Shao thought about it for a long time, and he didn't know what "things that can be done in the future" meant.

"Alas, let General Ben make it clear to you that your Xiangyang Wang family is actually a side branch of the Taiyuan Wang family. Right? Jin Liang said angrily.

"Yes, my grandfather came to Xiangyang to be an official. Our family moved here from Taiyuan, and in fact, we have been following the orders of the Wang family of Qi County, Taiyuan. Wang Shao really didn't understand what Jin Liang meant by asking him, so he replied truthfully.

"I heard that the Taiyuan Wang family is very powerful in Taiyuan, several times bigger than you, the Xiangyang Wang family, isn't it?"

Although Jin Liang can't control Taiyuan now, once Jingzhou is pacified, he wants to include Bingzhou in the next step, of course, when the current Bingzhou pastor Zhu Jun has other important tasks, Jin Liang will send a cronie to do the Bingzhou pastor, of course, the premise is to weaken the local Haoqiang there by a few points.

"The general is right, the Taiyuan royal family has more than 200,000 acres of fertile land, more than 30,000 tenants, and more than 10,000 servants, and can quickly pull up more than 30,000 soldiers, and the entire Taiyuan County looks up to him."

"If your fields, property, and houses on this side of Xiangyang are occupied by my central official army, and you escape back to the Taiyuan Wang family, will they give you something to do for the sake of you being a disciple of the Taiyuan Wang family?" Since he said that he would not kill him, and he could not be let go casually, Jin Liang decided to waste and develop this guy into a spy.

"I understand what the general means, did I secretly report all kinds of information to the general after I infiltrated the Taiyuan royal family? If I cooperate with the central government and army to bring down the Taiyuan Wang clan, what benefits can I get?! Wang Shao basically didn't become an official and had been doing business all his life, so after saying a few words, he showed the profit-seeking character of a businessman.

"What benefits?! If you can really help us bring down the Taiyuan royal family, I will return your children and your wife to you, and also give you a part of your family property, so that your family can worry free. ”

Of course, Jin Liang will not let him go easily, he will make his children and wife as hostages, and put him in it, so that it will be easier to deal with the Taiyuan Wang clan in the future. Wang Shao had no other choice, so he reluctantly agreed, and Jin Liang transferred him to Guo Jia's dark department for follow-up.

A few days later, Wang Shao took advantage of the lax supervision of the officials and soldiers to escape from Xiangyang and take refuge in the Taiyuan Wang family. The person in charge of the Taiyuan Wang family was Wang Yun's younger brother, and Wang Shao told him about his forced surrender to the official army with a handful of snot and tears, but the official army humiliated his wife and concubine, making him unbearable, so he had to escape, hoping that the Taiyuan Wang family could do justice for him. Wang Yun's younger brother Wang Xu believed that it was true, so he arranged for him to work in the Taiyuan Wang's house, and comforted him by saying that he would wait for Dong Xiangguo's army to pour into Jingzhou and then avenge Wang Shao.

Guo Jia successively obtained many secrets of the Taiyuan royal family from Wang Shao, and gradually encroached on the property of the Wang family, strengthened the power of the central army in Bingzhou, and uprooted the potential power of the Taiyuan royal family in Jingzhou one by one, and finally sent a large army to wipe out the Wang family in one fell swoop, but this is a later story, and it will be stated in the future.

Chen Lin came to report: "The soldiers found a large amount of grain in these four Wu forts, and also found a large number of official grain in Li Cheng's Wu Fort, with a total of 1.5 million stones, excluding the 300,000 stone official grain smuggled by Li Cheng, the grain stored by the five families is 1.2 million stones. ”

So much? After Jin Liang heard this set of figures, he coveted the other families in Jingzhou even more, you must know that the Li family, the Wang family, the Xue family, and the Jia family are just medium-sized families in the Jingzhou Lin family, but they can collect more than one million stone of grain, which is enough for their own people and horses to use for half a year. Jin Liang secretly thought that if he killed all the families in Jingzhou, he would no longer have to worry about military rations.

However, Jin Liang knows that the only families he can cut off can be these families who take the initiative to make trouble and find death, if he goes to other families according to a crime, other families will definitely take care of the cold lips and teeth and attack it in groups, and then Jingzhou will be in chaos, and these families are often supported by other forces, and when Jin Liang is worried about internal and external troubles, I am afraid that it will not last long.

"All of them are used as military rations for the Central Army! Kong Zhang, you quickly send someone to spread the news throughout the whole army, so that all the officers and soldiers know that our Central Army has sufficient military rations! Jin Liang commanded. (To be continued.) )
