The Thunder Rocket Vehicle is a weapon that Li Sheng gave to the Southern Expeditionary Army during his Southern Expedition two years ago. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info a thunder rocket car, which is composed of a frame, a lifter, a placer plus a fixed table and a honeycomb rocket frame. The hive rocket rack is five feet wide, five feet high, and seven feet long, divided into 100 grids in the middle, which can place 100 bamboo arrows, and the fuse placed behind the rocket rack can be fired at the same time in just a few breaths.

“…… A single horse can be dragged, and if it is equipped with a chariot that transports arrows, it can be organized in groups of three or five. The five people are: one lookout hand, one adjustment hand, two loading and unloading hands, and one Wu Chang. The arrow body is pushed by the thunder fire, and it can reach half of the inside, and the sound is like thunder. This is the evaluation report given to Li Sheng by Li Sheng's craftsmen, although it is somewhat exaggerated, but it still makes Li Sheng's heart flutter.

"Although the firing range is still closer, the hull is a little heavier, the firing frequency is not high, and the shooting accuracy is not good, but this is the first army weapon that our army has assembled with the army." Because of this, Li Sheng felt that this thing had a very important significance, and in the case that large-scale steelmaking technology had not yet developed, it was impossible to make guns and cannons, and the use of gunpowder weapons with wooden frames seemed to be Li Sheng's only choice at the moment.

Although the situation has improved two years later, the second version of the Thunder Rocket has also come out, but it is lighter and easier to reload than the first version, but the first version of the weapon as a large-scale equipment that can be used against the enemy is still trying to increase production and reduce costs, and at the same time, it has begun to be installed in the army, and now it is only a small part of the CD.

It is also one of the secret weapons in Li Sheng's army, although Li Sheng has already made public plans for this secret weapon, and he is also allowed to show some to Jiangdong, but like Kong Ming, he displayed it on a large scale in one breath, which shocked people, and it is better not to say that anyone who sees Lu Su's appearance understands what this weapon feels like. The shock on Lu Su's face undoubtedly gave this weapon the greatest guarantee. After all, Lu Su is still a calm person, and even a calm person is scared to look like this when he sees it, let alone other people.

For such reasons, coupled with the fact that the arrows of the Thunder Rocket Car consume too much, Li Sheng felt that it was too expensive and a little too wasteful to show these things to an "outsider" like Lu Su at once. For this reason, he had to complain to Kong Ming a few words, of course, this was also half joking, half serious.

But let's talk about it, that's it. Kong Ming has done the job, and Lu Su has returned to Jiangdong. As for the result of being frightened, Li Sheng finally had to accept it. Although he felt that Kong Ming was a little excessive, he also believed that Kong Ming must have a reason for doing so.

"Anyway, it's not going to get any worse because of it." Li Sheng is very sure of this, and he will wait and see the whole thing.

With Lu Su returning to Jiangdong, the three envoys sent by Sun Quan all had results. The final report to Sun Quan was that Cao Cao, after laughing, agreed to launch an attack on Liu Bei's Huainan by Zhang Liao of Xuzhou; After Liu Bei looked nervous, he squeaked and agreed to Guan Yu's request to let Guan Yu attack Xuzhou; Li Sheng agreed to march into Guanzhong, but his words and deeds seemed to have a sense of shirk, Li Sheng was strong, and he couldn't try to do it in a hurry, and our army should mainly annex Huainan first, and after annexing Huainan, it should form a new alliance with Li Sheng to jointly resist Cao Cao's threat.

"In that case, let's send out the Xie Xuan soldiers first, and the affairs of Huainan should be able to be carried out. As for Li Sheng's side......" Sun Quan thought about it carefully, but asked a little unwillingly: "Zijing, you carefully tell me about the situation you encountered on Li Sheng's side." I wonder what happened to you over there to make such a judgment. ”

"Yes......" Lu Su stepped out, bowed his hand respectfully to Sun Quan, and then talked about what he saw and heard on the CD this time. He first talked about the prosperity of the CD, including the cultivation of the fields outside the city, the circulation of merchants in the city and a series of issues that belonged to the people's livelihood, and then talked about Li Sheng's expansion of the CD city and Li Sheng's military armament. These two are things that he himself has watched for a long time accompanied by Kong Ming, and it seems much more detailed at this moment: "Li Sheng plans to expand the CD City, just as he did when he expanded Changsha City, he plans to expand the CD into a metropolis similar to Chang'an and Luoyang...... According to Kong Ming, the new CD City will be a huge city with walls six zhang thick, seven zhang high, and a circumference of three hundred and fifty li...... All preparations have been made. This seems to be a good thing for us, after all, Li Sheng's actions show that he has no intention of competing for the world, but only seeks a corner of safety...... But the preparations he had made, especially those terrible weapons of thunder and fire, were something that made me feel terrified from the bottom of my heart...... It is a weapon that can be used as a hundred crossbow archers for five soldiers, and can fire a hundred explosive thunder rockets in a short period of time, creating a rain of arrows on the enemy. Such a blow, combined with the oil canister fired by the catapult that followed it, was very likely to plunge the enemy he faced into a sea of fire from which it was difficult to escape...... Kong Ming bluntly said that Li Shengjun once used such a weapon to destroy more than 30,000 people with rattan armor disease in Nanzhong in the battle of Nanzhong. …… With the idea of not wanting to make progress and an army with strong combat power, Li Shengjun is like a tiger in the winter for now, and he will not exert his great power if he is not provoked by others. I don't want our Dongwu to be the one who disturbs their peaceful sleep, so I suggest that the lord should reconcile with Li Sheng as much as possible after obtaining Huainan. ”

"There is such a weapon...... most of everyone's thoughts were focused on the powerful combat power shown by Li Shengjun, even Sun Quan was no exception, after muttering to himself for a long time, Sun Quan reacted, and said with a smile: "Li Sheng is my brother-in-law, I am naturally closer to him." Cao Cao is a national thief, but at the moment, in order to regain Huainan from Liu Bei, which belongs to us, he cannot join forces with him. Once Liu Bei is disposed of, we still have to face off against Cao Cao. Therefore, guaranteeing the relationship with my brother-in-law is one of our national policies, and this cannot be changed in any way. ”

"Although the words are a bit far-fetched, the path chosen is the right one." In the face of Sun Quan's statement, everyone believed Lu Su's judgment without any objection. Lu Zijing doesn't deceive people, they all think so.

The matter of friendship with Li Sheng was unanimously approved by everyone. Since you want to make friends, you have to sign some extremely formal treaties with Li Sheng. Lu Su could not go any further, as the chief planner of the entire plan, he had to stay in the rear to organize the development of this plan. Then who will be sent to Xishu again? Sun Quan thought about it, but he sold a favor to Li Sheng and Kong Ming: "Just let Ziyu go." The brothers hadn't seen each other in years, and now they had to meet each other. In troubled times, the separation of brothers is also a painful thing. Fortunately, there is no hostility, otherwise I would not be able to explain it to Ziyu and them. ”

Sun Quan said this in front of everyone, including Zhuge Jin, but he also said it in a high-sounding manner, as if he valued Zhuge Jin very much, but this was only on the surface. In fact, everyone here understood in their hearts like a mirror why Sun Quan made such a decision.

"Isn't it because Li Sheng's strength is strong enough, and his relationship with Zhuge Liang is iron enough? If it weren't for Zhuge Jin being Zhuge Liang's brother, would you hand over this matter to him? Thinking of this, there were some different changes in everyone's hearts.

In any case, the emissary of Eastern Wu was sent again, although only in the direction of Li Sheng, but the mission carried out by his emissary Zhuge Jin was crucial to Sun Quan—its success would affect the strategic trend of Jiangdong in the coming years.

Almost at the same time that Sun Quan sent Zhuge Jin as an envoy to Xichuan again, a major war broke out between Huainan and Xuzhou in the north of the Yangtze River. Sun Quan's plan to provoke Liu Bei and Cao Cao to fight a decisive battle in Xuzhou was very successful, and both Cao Cao and Liu Bei agreed with Sun Quan's opinion and planned to start a new front in the area of Xu Huai. Zhang Liao and Guan Yu were both closely preparing for war, and both secretly prepared to launch a surprise attack on each other. However, there are such coincidental things in the world. When Guan Yu, who thought he was ready, quietly sent troops to attack the land of Xuzhou overnight, Zhang Liao also sent an army to Huainan, and the two sides encountered in Huailing. The 5,000 infantry of Liao Hua, the vanguard of Guan Yu's subordinates, faced Yu Ban, the vanguard under Zhang Liao, and the battle broke out.

No one could have imagined that they would encounter an enemy in this place. Because neither side had the calculation of encountering the enemy and fighting, naturally they did not set up a battle formation. In that dark night, they were able to meet together and meet the enemy, it was entirely because a soldier had stumbled: at that time, Liao Hua's team was walking on the ridge of the hills, and Yu Ban's team was walking under the ridge of the hills, and the two sides were more than ten meters apart, but no one knew that there was an enemy not far from their left. Because Liaohua's team walked on the mountain, the road seemed a little narrow. Although Liao Hua kept telling them to be careful and careful, one of the soldiers was unlucky enough to roll down the hillside. Fortunately, the path he rolled down was full of bushes, and although his body was scraped by the barbs on it, his head was bleeding, but his life was not in any danger. The pain was so sharp that the soldier swore to his feet. But when he stood up, he noticed that just a few meters away from his fall, a large number of people and horses were faintly moving.

"Enemy attack, ......!" The creep instinctively reacted to this and screamed loudly.

With this shout, everyone up and down the mountain invariably discovered his presence and traces of the enemy. Without any preparation, and there was no time to react at all, whether it was Liao Hua or Yu Ban, they all made the same decision - kill.

The shouts were remembered at the same time up and down the mountain. Yu Forbidden at the foot of the mountain struggled to rush up the mountain and defeat the enemy in front of him, while the Liao Hua Department on the mountain also rushed down from the mountain with the same idea, stepped into the thorn bush, and ran towards his enemy regardless of the thorny thorns. Blood spurted in the darkness without making any waves. The darkness of the night obscured the blood red, and everyone fought with poor sight, relying on only instinct. Under the moonless sky, there is not a glimmer of light in sight. It seems that there is a very tacit understanding, and the blades and guns in the hands of the soldiers on both sides are invariably smeared with black qi, so that the sword light and sword shadow disappear without a trace here.

It's a chaotic fight. From the moment the first killing word was shouted, both Yu Ban and Liao Hua lost their ability to command the army almost instantly. As generals, there was nothing they could do at the moment, and fighting as a warrior like ordinary soldiers seemed to be the only thing they could do right now. Dancing with a gun and wielding a knife, it is impossible to be gorgeous and complicated in this darkness, and some only have a blow of intuitive reflection, and only the pleasure of a knife to the flesh. The ink-like environment narrows people's vision, and as a soldier fighting here, in addition to his own instinctive reaction, it seems that there is also his own luck. In such a place, no one knows what will happen in the next moment.

The battle was fought almost on a life-for-life basis. Although Yu Ban has a unique place in military training, and the training he has trained is also quite strong, but in this dark and chaotic environment, they seem to be completely unable to exert their strength. And the Liao Hua department that fought with them was not very weak, under the leadership of Liao Hua, who was born as a bandit, they were more good at night battles and chaotic battles, but the current environment was exactly where they were at home.

However, as time progressed, Liaohua's men and horses gradually couldn't stand it, although they were also very bloody, although this was a battlefield they were more familiar with, but they couldn't stand the ban. In the case of almost one life for another, Liaohua's battle line was loosened, and soon it turned from loosening to rout. When Guan Yu followed Liao Hua and arrived with the soldiers, what he saw was such a situation where his own soldiers were being chased all over the mountains and running wildly.

"What the hell is going on?" Guan Yu found Liao Hua, who was still resisting freely, in the chaos of the army, and asked in a deep voice.

"We encountered the enemy forces temporarily, and in the melee, we could not withstand their outnumbered numbers, so we were scattered." Liao Hua lowered his head and his voice fell silent.

"Oh?" Guan Yu frowned when he heard this: "You are not weak, why are you still ......?" Who is the general of the opposing side? ”

"I don't know, and I haven't encountered him in the scuffle, but I know that the other party's soldiers are very powerful." Liao Hua replied. In the face of his own general, he really felt a little sorry for the fact that he had sacrificed such a miserable result. Although this is honestly not the responsibility of his misconduct.

"The soldiers are particularly powerful? No matter how powerful it is, in my eyes, it's like a chicken. Guan Yu kissed his own Danfeng eyes and said proudly. He has absolute confidence in his own strength - in this world, except for his third brother Yide, Zilong on Li Sheng's side, and Zhong Kang on Cao Cao's side, no one seems to be his opponent anymore. Facing the words of his subordinate Liao Hua, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the enemy below, but said with a sneer: "Yuan Jian, take a rest for the time being, and come to talk to you after I meet this old acquaintance." ”

"Old acquaintances?" Liao Hua was puzzled. He was about to ask, but when he saw Guan Yu urging the red rabbit under him, he rushed forward. The lightning speed suddenly stunned him, "Okay...... That's a lot of speed. In the darkness, he couldn't see the real speed of the jump, but he felt Guan Yu's unparalleled speed from the sneering wind coming from the front, "Presumably, the general relied on this speed to take the heads of Yan Liang and Wen Chou among the 100,000 troops." "Although there are many enemies ahead, Liao Hua doesn't worry about Guan Yu." No one can stop the general. He thought so here, but the other side began to shout and command his defeated army and the large army brought by Guan Yu. This battle is not something that one or two people can fight again, Guan Yu has to do something about Yu himself, and Liao Hua also has something he needs to be responsible for. Stabilize the front, that's what he needs to do right now.

The army was quickly united under Liaohua's organization, and the rout was suppressed. With reinforcements joining, Liu Beijun was already able to block the attack of Cao Cao's army. Soon the tide of the battle stabilized. For Liao Hua, this is the limit of what he can do, at least for now. Although Liu Beijun's quantity has been strengthened, it will undoubtedly take some time to transform this quantitative strengthening into a qualitative change. Liao Hua can therefore relax for a while. He looked ahead, the direction where Guan Yu had disappeared, he was waiting for the news of his general's victorious return, he was full of confidence in his general.

This is very normal confidence, after all, Guan Yu's undefeated record in a hundred battles is placed there, and Liao Hua naturally believes that Guan Yu can win. And Guan Yu seems to have lived up to Liao Hua's expectations of him. Just as Liao Hua stretched his neck and waited left and right, there was a sound of horses' hooves in front of him, but he saw Guan Yu carrying a person from the darkness and flashing in front of Liao Hua like a god, and threw the human body in his hand to the ground.

"That's it." Guan Yu said with a smile, and then reported the person's name: "The deputy general under Zhang Liao, the first training master in the Cao army - Yu Ban Yu Wenze." ”

"Yu Ban, Yu Wenze? Could it be him? Hearing the general report such a familiar name, Liao Hua was stunned, "This is a big man." It is said that he should have personal guards around him to protect him, so why should he ......"

"Haha...... This is the credit of your frugality. If it weren't for the fact that you hadn't been in such a chaotic situation, if it weren't for you and your men who made Yu Ban's attack so unsmooth, I'm afraid that Yu Ban wouldn't have sent all his personal guards out to command the team in this chaotic formation. When I just passed, there were only a few people around me. Guan Yu laughed and said, stabbing him again with his toes, and Yu Ban, who had fainted by himself falling to the ground, made him wake up again.

"Hmm......" Yu Ban on the ground sent out **, he opened his eyes and saw that he was surrounded by several people, and one of them was the last Guan Yu he saw that made him feel scared, but he couldn't help but tremble, and curled up with some fear in his heart. He struggled with his hands and feet, and realized that his hands and feet were firmly tied, but the horror on his face deepened, and he knew that he had become a prisoner of the man.

"Uh......" Yu Ban swallowed his saliva and raised his head covered in dirt and grassroots, "What are you going to do with me?" Cloud Chief! He directly addressed Guan Yu's words. Because Guan Yu was once captured by Cao Cao, and then briefly took refuge in Cao Cao for a period of time, at that time in Xuchang, they were all familiar with Guan Yu, and there was naturally a friendship among them. Therefore, he did not have any discomfort and directly asked Guan Yu.

"I won't kill you, but I can't let you go back either." Guan Yu glanced at Yu Ban and replied, "You can live in our army for a while." We'll talk about it when our war with Cao Cao is over. ”

"Aren't you afraid that I'll run away?" Yu Ban asked.

"Can you escape? That's it? Guan Yu pursed his lips with a smile: "Wen Ze, your martial arts are not as strong as your ability to lead troops." He said.

"Well, I don't have the strength to fight my wit." Yu forbade the former Han Gaozu to answer Guan Yu's words to the overlord of Chu.

"That's why you're here now." Guan Yu said with a smile, but stopped arguing with Yu Ban. He ordered people to be under the pressure of the ban, and then waved his army to Huailing overnight. It was the closest county town to the battlefield at the moment. Guan Yu plans to take here, and then use this place as a base to attack Peiguo, a place that is very close to Liu Bei. Before taking Xiaopeicheng, he planned to use this Huailing as his front-line headquarters.

The army surrounded Huailing City. In the silent night, countless torches suddenly lit up under Huailing City, and the bright red illuminated the guards on the city in front of them.

"It's dawn?" They rubbed their eyes and looked up at the sky, and were stunned when they saw that the sky was still so gloomy, and that the fire was coming from under the city. The number of people and horses is boundless, and Guan Yu used the strategy of doubting the soldiers, so that everyone has a lot of torches in their hands, so many lights are reflected together, so that people can see at first glance as if nearly 100,000 soldiers are approaching the city.

"Enemy ...... Enemy? "In the face of such a huge momentum, where do those little soldiers still have a calm face. They shouted and screamed, not to mention the panic.

However, they were still a little worried, and despite the panic, they did not forget to go to their own county magistrate to report the situation.

"What? Enemies? The county commander Yan Huan's eyes widened, and he sat up from the collapse with a spirit, "Where is the enemy, take me to see it." Yan Huan said. He looked very nervous at the moment, if it weren't for the fact that there were people who served him to dress, he was afraid that he would have run out of clothes at all.

"Right down the city...... I'm not afraid of 100,000 people! The soldier who came to report the news said as he guided Yan Huan to the city, so that he could look down from above and down at the vast momentum of the torches gathering like a galaxy.

"Sure enough, there are a large number of enemies." Yan Huan sighed, but he was vaguely worried in his heart. He saw the enemy's silent appearance standing under the torches, and he understood very well that they were all elite soldiers. "What to do? There are only 500 soldiers in his city, and most of them are old and weak. He is not a very strong person, and if he wants to use these 500 people to resist the attack of nearly 100,000 people outside, it is something that he should not think about at all. Yan Huan was afraid, but he had a decision in his heart. He whispered to the soldiers beside him, "Have you confirmed their identities?" ”

"Nope!" Everyone shook their heads.

"How can this work?" Yan Huan burst into flames, "Quickly confirm their identities for me......," he commanded loudly.

The county order is more or less an official, and he still has his official authority. Under the threat of Yan Huan's tantrum, the soldiers looked at each other for a while, and finally one of them dared to poke out of the city, and asked loudly: "Who are you?" ”

The army below did not answer the questions from the city. They were still silent, but it was such a silence that the people in the city couldn't help but feel an answer: "Who are we?" You don't deserve to ask. ”

"What a proud army." Yan Huan touched his nose helplessly, and was thinking about whether it would be good to order the surrender of Kaicheng just like this, but suddenly heard a low cry from the soldiers beside him.

"What's wrong?" Yan Huan asked puzzled.

"My lord, look at that flag!" A soldier asked Yan Huan to look at the big banner that appeared in the distant firelight at some point.

"It's just a flag, it's not a big deal." Yan Huan muttered, but still looked in the direction that the soldier's hand was pointing. However, it's okay not to look at it, but at a glance, Yan Huan himself couldn't help but make a sudden: "Actually...... Could it be him? I saw that in the distance where the firelight flickered, a big banner with the word "Hanshou Pavilion Hou - Guan" was waving in the cool night breeze. Anyone who knows this flag knows who it represents.

"Guan Yu, that's the number one general in the world. Can we beat him? "The soldiers legend, but they are as earth-colored as they are.

"What to do......? My lord? They all looked at Yan Huan.

"What else can I do?" Yan Huan spread his hands cleanly, "That's not something we can resist, so open the city gate, let's surrender." Yan Huan said very simply.

"Oh......," everyone responded. Yan Huan listened carefully, but vaguely heard that there was clearly some cheers in this answering voice.

"They're afraid to fight Guan Junhou." Yan Huan understood, and he was speechless. After all, even he himself was afraid of going into battle with such a "killing god" as Guan Yu.

The gates creaked open. Yan Huan was dressed in white, holding the seal of the county order in his hand, and knelt on the side very honestly, and two white flags were waving in front of him. All of them had no weapons in their hands, and they also made a look of surrender.

This is what Guan Yu hopes to see the most, and it is also the situation that he thinks is most likely to occur. Regarding Yan Huan's consciousness, he didn't say anything more, but went straight into the city on horseback, passed directly by Yan Huan's side, and poured the dust of a horse's hooves into Yan Huan's mouth and nose. After Guan Yu left, Yan Huan couldn't help coughing loudly anymore.

"This general Guan is really as arrogant as the legend." Yan Huan thought so, and did not raise any objections, but endured it silently. He knew that if this matter was not done by Guan Yu, there would definitely be someone to deal with this matter, so he still waited seriously.

After a while, a big black stupid man came to Yan Huan: "You are the county commander?" He smiled heartily.

"I'm the prefectural magistrate." Yan Huan nodded.

"General Guan said that this city was temporarily used by him as a place for the Chinese army to command. You don't care about the affairs of the army, and he will not manage the affairs of the people's livelihood either. You are still the county magistrate of this Huailing. The big black man told Yan Huan like this: "So you can take off the white clothes and white flags, and put this seal letter away." ”

"No." Seeing that his petty official seemed to be able to keep it, Yan Huan was happy, and he answered loudly.
