Chapter 37: The Thunderbolt
"Huh? Is that okay? Hearing the system's words, Liu He was immediately shocked, but he didn't expect that he just remembered a poem from the later generations, and casually showed off, which actually caused Guo Jia's loyalty to increase from 80 to 100, and even the charm value increased a little.

But then Liu He suddenly remembered what Guo Jia said before: "It can really be described as a benevolent master", and a sense of déjà vu suddenly appeared in his heart, as if he had heard this somewhere.
After a while, Liu He suddenly remembered, didn't Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others say to Liu Bei in the romance?
"Could it be that when I chose the route of Tiankuixing, even my own personality developed in this direction?" Thinking of this, Liu He's heart was suddenly shocked, he didn't want to be manipulated by the so-called line of the system, but after thinking for a while, he finally determined that this was not that he was manipulated by the system, but that his character was originally like this, whenever he saw the people suffering, and saw the weak being bullied, he would have sympathy in his heart, and now think about it, the reason why he was able to cross over here was mainly because when he was playing the Three Kingdoms experience real game, because he saw a female player being bullied by an NPC, he stepped forward to kill the NPC, caused a disorder in the system, which caused the crossing.
"Or is this who I really am? And my so-called hegemony, in fact, the ultimate goal is just to make the people's lives better, right? Liu He thought for a moment and sighed silently.
And just when Liu He sighed, he saw Liu Ye on the side and said with a smile: "Don't worry about it, Ye has a way to do this, so that you only need to send troops to feint for a few days, and in three days at most, Ye can create a siege weapon to help us break through Wancheng." ”
At this time, Liu He's mind suddenly flashed and blurted out: "Could it be a catapult?" ”
"How does the envoy know?" This time it was Liu Ye's turn to be surprised, because he had indeed researched the manufacturing method of the catapult, but he had never told anyone about this secret, and now that he heard Liu He break it, he naturally couldn't be calm.
Liu He was stunned when he heard this, and then remembered that Liu Ye was able to make catapults, and I am afraid that no one can know, Liu He of course can't say that he is from the later generations, so he knows this, so he had to say: "I had a dream last night, I dreamed that there were several catapults under the city that were attacking the city, which shocked the enemy army, and after waking up, I was envious of this artifact, and I had been thinking about the problem of catapults. Originally, I didn't expect Ziyang to be able to create such a magical thing, but now listening to this, Ziyang can really make such a magical thing? ”
"Hehe, Ye usually in addition to reading, the favorite is to study some manufacturing inventions, Ye in the study of history, saw the Qin general Li Xin in the army to attack Chu, once by the Chu army a large number of stone-throwing vehicles attack, 200,000 troops collapsed, the heart secretly admired the strength of the stone-throwing car, secretly pondered for a long time, and finally developed this stone-throwing car, because it sounded like a thunderbolt, so Ye named it the thunderbolt car, the materials required for the thunderbolt car are as follows......"
"It turns out that Mr. Ziyang can make thunderbolts! That's great. When Guo Jia on the side heard this, he immediately said happily: "In this case, the lower official suggested that the lord order the sergeant to feint to attack Wancheng, and at the same time order the sergeant to fill the river with soil, pile up dirt and mountains, and make it look like he is preparing for a strong attack, but he is secretly making a thunderbolt, in this way, I am afraid that it will be more difficult for the Wen to see through our plan, right?" ”
"Okay, since that's the case, then do as the military advisor says, pass the order, and order the Bai Yu soldiers to go and cut down trees, secretly make thunderbolts, and from tomorrow, the siege soldiers will continue to feint, and the enemy army cannot be rested."
When Liu He heard this, he was also happy in his heart, and immediately issued an order according to Guo Jia's suggestion.
In the next few days, Liu He's army began to carry out continuous feints everywhere, always retreating decisively when the other side launched a counterattack, although it also caused hundreds of soldiers to be injured, and more than a dozen of them were accidentally killed, but it consumed nearly a third of the defensive equipment on the city.
At the same time, Liu He's army also filled the river with soil outside the north city gate, piled up earth mountains, and put on a posture of a decisive battle with the soldiers defending the city.
Wen Ping, who was at the head of the city, naturally saw this scene, and the worry in his heart was even more serious, because he knew that with this little force in his city, if he fought a decisive battle with the other party, even if he could barely hold it, there would be no one in ten of the thousands of soldiers under his command, and at that time, even if there was a random group of bandits, it was estimated that he would be able to capture Wancheng.
"Since there is a big talent in the opponent's army that can be comparable to Kuaixidu, they will definitely not fight so hard with me, because this will not be of the slightest benefit to them, in the same way, even if they can win, it is estimated that it will be a miserable victory, I am afraid that they have the strength to capture Wancheng, but they do not have the strength to defend it."
Wen Ping tightened his eyebrows and thought for a long time, feeling that the other party would definitely have a conspiracy, but he didn't know what kind of conspiracy the other party had.
"Tell you to go down, be sure to be careful, especially to pay attention to the movement of the North City Gate, the other party is not simple, there will definitely be a conspiracy." Wenpin can only be ordered like this, and as for how much role it can play, he can only know the destiny of heaven as much as possible.
In this case, Wen Ping didn't dare to relax, although he knew that most of the opponents were feints, but he could only try his best to defend comprehensively, for fear that the opponent's feints would become real fights.
Until three days later, the towering earth mountain was built outside the north city gate, Liu He's soldiers in the army took advantage of the earth mountain, but suppressed the Jingzhou army archers on the city wall, a rain of arrows down, the soldiers of the Jingzhou army could only shrink behind the female wall, it was difficult to get out, and at this time only the sound of shouting and killing came, and the siege team in Liu He's army rushed up again.
"This time the other party should be real, pass the order, at all costs, but also block the thieves' counterattack!" A trace of fortitude flashed on Wen Ping's face, and he shouted loudly.
"Kill!" After receiving the order from Wen Ping, all the soldiers of the Jingzhou army ignored the suppression of the archers on the opposite hill, all emerged from behind the female wall, and then took various weapons and launched a counterattack against the enemy's siege soldiers.
But unexpectedly, at this time, with the sound of a golden sound from under the city, the soldiers besieging the city retreated like a tide again.
"This, another feint?" All the harvest soldiers looked at each other.
However, a short time later, the enemy knights in battle below the castle suddenly dispersed to the sides, revealing rows of special equipment.
It had a wooden base, which was not much different from some of the usual siege equipment, except that it had a strange long pole, the long end of which was a holster, and the short end was tied with dozens of ropes, and next to those strange instruments were many stones the size of human heads.
At this time, some soldiers began to load stones on their holsters and make gestures towards the city.
