Although he was worried about whether Yiyang New City could be defended, Wei Yan was now five hundred miles away, and he could only choose to believe that Manzhong could hold it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The next day, Wei Yan used the captured family heads and family members to divide his troops to attack the dock forts of each family.

Twelve of the seventeen dock forts were successfully taken.

The other five families saw through it, and those families temporarily elected a new head of the house to replace the captured head of the house, and began to resist stubbornly.

The Wei army's surprise attack was frustrated and temporarily retreated.

……

This night, on the fourth watch, the families of the Wang family in Xi'e County held on for most of the night, extremely sleepy, did not see the Wei army attacking, it was expected that the Wei army would not come tonight, they fell to the ground and fell asleep, even the family members on duty on the Wubao wall closed their eyes sleepily, leaned against the root of the wall and fell asleep, after a while, the whole Wubao snored loudly.

Thousands of black shadows quietly appeared around the Wu Fort, and out of it came a dozen sturdy people, whooshing and throwing flying grabs, set up on the Wu Fort wall, they flew to the Wu Fort wall, and then tiptoed down the city wall, walked to the Wu Fort gate, and opened the gate.

Thousands of black shadows waiting outside swarmed in, first went to the Wu Fort wall to control the commanding heights, and the crossbowmen opened their bows and set their crossbows on their crossbows, aiming them below.

The other soldiers first rushed to the luxuriously decorated rooms and controlled the heads of the Wang family, and then shouted in unison: "Clear out the rebellion, only the first evil, the rest will not ask, and those who surrender will not die!" ”

Some generations of the royal family slaves, not accustomed to turning over to be the master, so they surrounded their new master desperately rushed out, how could the four gates of Wubao were blocked by the elite cavalry of the Wei army, they could not clash out, the Wei army's crossbowmen controlled the high place, and constantly shot arrows at them, arrows rained down, poof, shot down a large area.

Seeing that the Wei army was strong, the family members who were willing to swear allegiance to the head of the family were a minority after all, most of them were greedy for life and afraid of death, and seeing that most of the leaders had been controlled by the Wei army, the general trend of the head of the family had gone, and they all abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

Such a scene was played out at the same time in the other three families' Wubao.

……

Of the five families, only the Jianyang Yuan family, a branch of the Yuan family in Runan, saw through the surprise attack of the Wei army, and killed the Wei soldiers who relied on flying claws to climb up, and then resisted stubbornly.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the partial general who commanded this group of men and horses surrounded this Wubao group according to the second plan predicted by Wei Yan in advance, and sent people to report to Wei Yan, Wei Yan personally led the troops to come, and Ma Jun's thunderbolt came with it.

Ma Jun arrived with twenty thunderbolts, and it took two hours to disassemble and assemble them.

The chassis of each thunderbolt is equipped with wheels and gears, and the boom is equipped with rollers, cranks, levers, gears, and screws, and a series of mechanism configurations, all of which have Ma Jun's painstaking efforts and Wei Yan's guidance.

The wheels installed at the junction of the boom and the chassis of the Thunderbolt can rotate the boom 360 degrees, and can flexibly adjust the target at any time according to the enemy's activities.

In order to improve the strength and distance of the strike, the boom is designed to be very long, four or five zhang, towering high, looking very spectacular, so that the Wei soldiers are full of confidence when they see it, and 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.

Ma Jun, dressed in military uniform, stood behind the thunderbolt formation and personally commanded the bombing.

He raised his sword and shouted, "Prepare to recharge!" ”

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, and the boom was soon suspended in mid-air.

Ma Jun waved the sword in his hand: "Thunderbolt Hair Stone!" ”

The soldiers suddenly exerted their strength, and the crane arm shook rapidly, throwing the stones in the iron net towards the head of Yuanjiawu Fort.

The stones were flying all over the sky, the stones were of different sizes, some were as big as a grinding plate, some were as big as a winter melon, and some were only as big as a fist, but after a few zhang long boom throwing, the stone came fiercely, like a meteorite hitting the earth, flying towards Yuanjiawu Fort and smashing on the fragile wall of Yuanjiawu Fort.

All of a sudden, the rubble flew wildly, and there was a loud crackling sound, like a thunderbolt of lightning.

Many of the Yuan family members couldn't dodge it, 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 their bones and tendons.

After a while, dozens of big holes were smashed out of the wall, and four or five hundred people were killed or injured by the Yuan family on the wall.

If the Wei army's thunderbolt car is allowed to rage, the wall of Yuan's Wu Fort will be smashed sooner or later, and the Yuan family will run down from the wall in a swarm, and when the wall is undefended, the Wei army will take advantage of the situation.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the new head of the Yuan family wanted to use bows and arrows to shoot the Wei 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 were already powerless, and those Wei soldiers who operated the thunderbolt were all dressed tightly and neatly, and the arrow feathers fell on them, like scratching the boots and falling to the ground.

Yuan Quan wanted to gather all the men and horses and rush out to destroy the twenty thunderbolts, but found that the two thousand elite horsemen of the Wei army behind the thunderbolt were facing him under a blood-red flag, and the red banner had the word Dou Da Wei written on it.

No matter how stupid he was, he knew that Wei Yan had arrived, how could he have the courage to come out and compete with Wei Yan, so he had no choice but to shout in panic: "General Wei, we have surrendered, will you kill us?!" ”

Wei Yan swore and said: "If you sincerely surrender, I will never kill you!" ”

He will not kill those who surrender actively, but for this kind of passive surrenderer, Wei Yan will make them live worse than death.

Yuan Quan asked, "General Wei, what do you want me to do before I can be regarded as a sincere surrender?!" ”

Wei Yan's face was murderous: "Open the gate, abandon all weapons, kneel on the ground, wait for our 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, don't worry about killing!" ”

Yuan Quan asked, "What if you don't keep your promise and kill us?" ”

"To tell you the truth, you people may all be under the rule of my army in the future and do things for my Wei 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? Wei Yan showed the expression of a merchant in the market, only a few of these people can be incorporated into the Wei army, most of them can be sent to mine, there are many iron mines, coal mines, and salt mines in the area of Pingdingshan, but there are too few laborers.

Wei Yan saw that Yuan Quan was still hesitating, so he shouted loudly: "Do you have any other choice?" If you hesitate for a moment, General Ben will fight to die hundreds of elite soldiers, and he will also wash your Wu Fort in blood. If you don't want your family to burn, open the door and surrender quickly! ”

At the same time, he opened his bow and shot arrows, and at a distance of one hundred and thirty paces, an iron arrow was shot at Yuan Quan's helmet, and Wei Yan said sharply: "If I wanted your dog life, I would have shot you a long time ago, so don't open the door quickly!" ”

"Lord Divine Shot!" When the soldiers of the Wei army saw that Wei Yan's arrow could hit Yuan Quan's helmet on the head of the city one hundred and thirty paces away, they couldn't help but thunder with joy, and shouted in unison: "The Lord shoots the gods, unparalleled in the world!" ”
