564, let him wait for his life
"Gong Liu, this or a thunderbolt car, I once heard that it was created by the male loser, but I don't want Zhu Weijun to have such equipment!"
Liu Ye had presented Cao Cao with drawings of catapults in his original history, so that Cao Cao could use the catapults of the so-called thunderbolt to fight against the arrow towers constructed by Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu.
The so-called Loulu is similar to the siege arrow tower on Zhu Wei's side now, but Yuan Shao's is more primitive, like a crane hanging high on two wooden stakes, so there will not be too many archers on the Loulu.
But just like the siege arrow tower used by Zhu Wei now, condescending archery can indeed give people a great deterrent threat.
In this way, in the original history, Cao Cao used a thunderbolt to throw stones to destroy these towers, thus suppressing the harassment of Yuan Shao's army in the Battle of Guandu.
However, Liu Ye is not the inventor of the thunderbolt car, he just has the drawings to build the catapult, so history says that Liu Ye offered the plan of the thunderbolt, but it does not mean that he invented the thunderbolt car.
(Well, here it is said that it was created by Lu Ban, but it is actually made up blindly, and I really can't find the source of the root, so I think it was created by the carpentry ancestor Gonggong.) )
"Thunderbolt? Ziyang, is there a way to crack it? ”
Hearing this, Liu Xun hurriedly asked Liu Ye again, seeing that Zhu Wei's army over there almost destroyed the fort outside with two thunderbolt catapults, Liu Xun was really at a loss.
Liu Ye glanced at Liu Xun, not to mention that he really didn't know how to crack it, even if he knew, would he still tell Liu Xun at this time, but on the surface, Liu Ye still shook his head helplessly and said, "This, Ye really doesn't know!" Perhaps the only way to attack with a dead soldier is to burn this weapon! ”
"Sortie? Alas, Zi Yang looked, the thunderbolt was protected by Zhu Wei's army, how could it be easily destroyed! ”
When Liu Xun heard this, he helplessly pointed to the siege arrow tower and thunderbolt throwing cart outside the city that were protected by the army of Pang Yan Xionglu's battalion.
"That being the case, Liu Gong should let the army of the fort withdraw! In this way, the loss is also in vain! ”
Liu Ye saw that Liu Xun didn't dare to send troops to fight, so he had no choice but to persuade Liu Xun seemingly regretfully, but in fact, at this time, how could Liu Xun withdraw the soldiers in the fort.
"This ......"
Liu Xun didn't know how to answer again, he didn't dare to send troops out, and how dare he open the city gate to receive the soldiers outside to withdraw, wasn't it to open the door and wait for Zhu Wei's army to come in.
At this time, Pang Yan's Xionglu battalion suddenly stopped the thunderbolt stone throwing truck and continued to smash the fort, but it made people shout loudly, "Surrender quickly, otherwise the rock will fall from the sky, and you will be buried under the stone and shattered!" Surrender quickly! Surrender quickly! ”
In fact, at this time, the main thing is that the two thunderbolt rock-throwing vehicles themselves need to stop and repair the mechanism structure again, and the power of throwing rocks is also a certain destructive force for this wooden stone-throwing vehicle itself, so each thunderbolt stone-throwing vehicle can only launch a dozen rocks.
Of course, the Liu Xun soldiers in the fort didn't know that the remnants of the soldiers and the guards guarding the fort saw that the terrible rocks had not smashed over, and the feather arrows and crossbow arrows that were thrown had stopped attacking, so they could be regarded as relieved.
Hearing the shouts outside, the guards and soldiers inside couldn't help but look at each other, and then many people looked at the gate of Anhui County from afar, and they wanted to know that Liu Xun in the city had a way to rescue them.
As a result, there was no movement in the direction of the city gate of Anhui County, so the soldiers in this fort became active, they really didn't want to be stoned to death by the rocks falling from the sky.
Some soldiers couldn't help but look at the guards in the fort again, waiting for him to come up with an idea, but this guard did not dare to make a decision to surrender easily, although he was also afraid that he would be stoned to death by the rocks thrown by Zhu Weijun, but how could he easily say the word surrender.
"The last twenty breaths are considered to be considered, otherwise the rocks will bombard again, and you will die under the rocks!"
Pang Yan ordered the people to shout again, gave the defenders in the fort an ultimatum, and then breathed again, and began to count one breath at a time.
"One, two, three......"
The soldiers of the Xionglu battalion counted in unison, which inevitably caused a lot of psychological pressure on the soldiers in the fort, and soon this count had arrived, "Fifteen breaths, sixteen breaths......
"We've descended, we've descended!"
Suddenly, there were Liu Xun's soldiers shouting loudly in the fort, and then more soldiers were also shouting in their mouths, and under such a wish, the guards of the fort couldn't help but acquiesce.
"Okay, put down your weapons and come out to surrender!"
Pang Yan was overjoyed when he heard this, and soon let people pass the order, and soon the gate of the fort was opened, but the soldiers in it were still a little afraid to come out, the gate of the fort was located within the range of bows and arrows in the city of Anhui County, and they were very afraid that they would come out and surrender, and they would be shot by their companions on the city wall with arrows.
Liu Xun, who was on the tower of the city gate, heard the movement outside, and saw the situation on the side of the fort, suddenly sighed, and ordered, "Order, let him wait for his life, this is the fault of the general, it is not that he dare to use his life!" ”
"Liu Gong, how can it be like this, if this is the case, then ......, then it is not that the soldiers have no heart to fight!"
Listening to Liu Xun's words, a Liu Xun strategist standing here couldn't help but speak, and his eyes looked at another fort, meaning that with the example of this fort, what about the other fort?
"Yes, Liu Gong can't! Quickly give the order, whoever dares to surrender will be shot with arrows! ”
Another subordinate general under Liu Xun's account also opened his mouth to persuade, obviously he wanted to use such a threatening method to make the soldiers in the fort not dare to go out and surrender.
"Alas, forget it, if you don't let him wait for the surrender, I'm afraid that he will die in vain under the rocks, wouldn't this chill the hearts of the troops in the city, and send an order to let them surrender with peace of mind, I won't blame him for waiting!"
Liu Xun hesitated, but still insisted on his decision, after all, his decision is now related to the stability of the army's heart, if he really ruthlessly forced the soldiers in the fort to wait for death, I am afraid that the morale of the soldiers in Anhui County will also fluctuate.
How can a general who completely cares about the soldiers be admired by the soldiers?
So under Liu Xun's order, soon the defenders on the city wall seemed to be relieved and shouted outward, "Too obedient to the order, you are not guilty of waiting to surrender, this is not your fault!" ”
When the soldiers in the fort outside heard this sound, they were immediately relieved, so some brave soldiers quickly escaped from the fort and ran in the direction where Zhu Wei's army was.
Naturally, there were no bows and arrows on the city wall to shoot him, and with such an example, the remaining soldiers in the fort also escaped one after another, and there were more than a thousand soldiers who finally came out to surrender.
The last person to come out of the fort was Liu Xun, a member of the fort, who knelt down in the direction of the gate tower of Anhui County, and said loudly, "Liu Gong, if it is not a certain family that spares his life, it is really incompetent to defend the fort, and a certain family has thanked Liu Gong for his tolerance!" ”
Saying that, he also slowly walked in the direction of Zhu Weijun's formation, although he said that it was very good, but in fact, he was a little reluctant to die, and would rather come out and surrender like this......
