Chapter 427: A Test on a Grand Scale

Deng Zhan felt that he had given Xiahou Yuan too many benefits.

Cao Shuo smiled at him: "Do you think I lost or earned?" ”

"It's a loss!" Before Deng Zhan could speak, Zhu Ao said on the side: "We got so much grain and grass from the enemy, but Gongzi gave it to others......

"Can I eat all the grain and grass that I left or can I sell it?" Cao Shuo asked.

Deng Zhan and Zhu Omoran.

Cao Shuo said: "Before my father left, he didn't ask for grain and grass because he didn't know how long we would be stationed here. Before the invasion of Qixian, I refused to give grain and grass to General Xiahou, so that our soldiers could fill their stomachs with every meal. When I break the county and return to Xudu, won't my father ask me where the grain and grass are? What to do with the excess? Hand it over to the treasury! ”

patted Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao's arms respectively, Cao Shuo said with a smile: "It's not our thing sooner or later, why don't I take them as a personal favor as soon as possible?" The useless grain and grass were given to General Xiahou, and he owed me a personal favor, and the soldiers under his command also owed me a personal favor. When I returned to Xudu, my father asked him for help, and it had nothing to do with me. I sold the favor, whether I can keep the grain and grass, it depends on him. ”

Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao listened to the clouds, and both of them were stunned.

"Still don't get it?" Cao Shuo asked.

Deng Zhan nodded, but Zhu Ao shook his head.

Back in the army, Cao Shuo did not return to the tent, but walked directly to the catapult that had been built.

Thirty catapults are facing the county, and there are many boulders piled next to each catapult.

"Childe!" Seeing Cao Shuo coming, Pang Tong, who was in charge of the catapult, walked over.

"Can you use it?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Although it hasn't been debugged yet, it should be able to be used." Pang Tong said.

"Then debug." Cao Shuo said casually.

"All debugging?" Pang Tong asked.

"All debugging, of course." Cao Shuo said: "When you really need to use it, if a few units don't work, it's not a big trouble." ”

"How many boulders are commissioned?" Pang Tong asked again.

"Thirty pieces per catapult." Dropping a sentence, Cao Shuo turned around and walked to the side of the big stone and sat down.

There were thirty catapults, each with thirty boulders, which was nine hundred......

Nine hundred stones, all of which fell on the city wall, no matter how strong the city wall was, it could still smash a gap in it.

Cao Shuo wanted to wait for the enemy to leave the city, and he made it clear that he wanted to collapse the city wall of Yuxian......

Pang Tong was stunned for a moment, and only after reacting did he shout to Cao Jun next to the catapult: "Quick, quickly move the stones and debug the catapults, and try out thirty boulders for each catapult!" ”

The soldiers of Cao Jun next to the catapult were also confused.

With so many stones thrown out, doesn't it look like a boulder rain fell in mid-air?

Cao Shuo had already given the order, and the soldiers did not dare to ask more, so they moved the boulder to the catapult from the nearest place.

"Reload!" The centurion of the Cao army, who was in charge of the command, shouted.

Cao Jun, who was carrying the stones, put the boulders on the catapults and fixed them.

Thirty catapults were quickly prepared.

Pang Tong looked at Cao Shuo.

Cao Shuo shouted: "Don't vote it all at once, vote in batches." A batch of every ten catapults, keep the stones constantly flying to the county! ”

"Did you hear that?" Pang Tong shouted: "Ten in a batch, projection!" ”

The first ten catapults then catapulted the boulders.

When Cao Jun next to the car was loading stones, the second wave of stones also flew out of Cao Jun's camp, followed by the third wave.

Sitting on the stone, Cao Shuo covered his ears, his mouth was wide open, and he looked at the flying stone with a very funny expression.

"Childe!" Pang Tong ran in front of him and shouted to him: "When the catapult is debugged, it is estimated that the city wall of Yuxian County will be about to collapse!" ”

"What did you say?" Cao Shuo shouted loudly.

He covered his ears, but asked Pang Tong what he said, leaving Pang Tong speechless.

Pang Tong pointed to his hands covering his ears.

Cao Shuo smiled and put down his hand and said, "It's too noisy......"

"Childe, I said that the catapult commissioning is over, and the city wall of Suixian County will be gone!" Pang Tong shouted.

"It's not that exaggerated." Cao Shuo said: "No matter how thick the city wall is, at most 1,800 people will be killed, and it is still too early to collapse the city wall." ”

The boulder slammed into the walls with a loud roar.

"No, I've got to cover my ears!" Cao Shuo covered his ears again: "This is too noisy, it makes people's brains hurt." ”

Pang was speechless.

He designed the catapult, and he was the one who gave the order to throw the stone, so he was the one who would be noisy......

Cao Jun's catapult projected countless boulders.

Zhang Xiujun on the city wall hid behind the battlements.

Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu squatted side by side under the battlements directly opposite the gate.

A boulder flew over their heads and crashed into the gatehouse, blasting it out of a gap.

Stunned to look at the gatehouse that had been bombed with a big hole, Zhang Xiu shouted to Jia Xu: "Wenhe, the city wall won't be blown down, right?" ”

"What did the general say?" In the loud roar, Jia Xu, who was hiding behind the battlements with his ears covered, didn't hear what Zhang Xiu was saying, and asked loudly.

Picking up Jia Xu's ear, Zhang Xiu shouted: "I said, the city wall will not be blown down, right?" ”

"Don't worry, general, no!" Jia Xu shouted.

He said no, Zhang Xiu was relieved.

Both of them covered their ears, and they didn't hear the miserable howls of soldiers coming from time to time on the city wall.

Some boulders did not hit the walls, but went over the battlements.

However, they didn't fly out from the other end, and the battlements on the other side of the city wall bounced back, smashing Zhang Xiujun who was hiding behind the battlements into a pulp.

The boulders flew over, with violent tremors and occasional howls from the city, and the walls of the city that had been bombarded by the boulders were filled with thick white smoke.

Nine hundred boulders is not a small number.

Cao Jun projected for more than an hour before completing the test order issued by Cao Shuo.

The soldiers were sweating profusely.

Cao Shuo stood up, stretched his waist and said, "Okay, the test is over, and the catapult can still be used." ”

The soldiers next to the catapult were all full of black lines.

Each catapult projected thirty boulders, and the nine hundred boulders had already been piled up outside the city walls of Yuxian County.

If it is tested like this, it will not take a few times, and the Cao army will not need a ladder to attack the city, and it will be done by stepping on the stones and rushing up.

Such a large-scale bombardment actually became a test in Cao Shuo's mouth......

"It's all gone." Cao Shuo waved his hand, and then said to Pang Tong: "Be optimistic about the catapults, and don't let the enemy touch them." Siege without them, with them, Zhang Xiu will throw a mouse trap, and have to think of a way to get rid of them. ”

"Don't worry, Childe, with me, the enemy will definitely not be able to touch here." Pang Tong responded.

At this time, Zhang Xiu, who was covered in thick white dust and looked like a snowman, stood up.

After spitting two mouthfuls of saliva and spitting out the dust in his mouth, he said to Jia Xu: "It's not a matter to let Cao Zirong mess around like this, you must go out of the city to fight tonight."
