Yu Ban saw Xiahou Tang blushing and was embarrassed to say, but the battle situation still had to be reported, so he said: "Here's the thing, he was ambushed by the Qin army. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"How did you get ambushed?" Military advisor Cheng Yu Q&A.

Li Dian said: "The Qin army ...... a scarecrow, and thought it was an ambush, so they rushed up. ”

"Ahh Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, and Man Chong were blindfolded at that time.

Although Cheng Yu couldn't see it with his own eyes, he sounded very frightened, and said: "Qin Zijin's use of troops is strange and contrary to common sense, so he is cunning and cunning, and it is really impossible to prevent it." Fortunately, the general is unhindered, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and the general does not have to take it to heart. ”

A scarecrow was chopped down, and there has never been such a record since ancient times. Xiahoudun had nothing to say, and told Cheng Yu to deal with the aftermath, and he left.

By the next day.

Xiahoudun stubbornly supported the shame of yesterday's defeat and was promoted to the court.

Then he received a report on the aftermath and lost more than 10,000 troops and 20,000 equipment. The previous one beat the war drum and killed and wounded 3,000 enemies, and yesterday he lost more than 10,000 when he hit the straw man. In layman's terms, seven thousand were lost.

Xiahoudun sighed for a while, "Qin Zijin is too cunning, he must be careful in the future." ”

"Report ......, the Qin army has been reinforced, and the army has been dispatched, and it is already less than twenty miles!" A colonel rushed to call out.

Xiahoudun's expression was straight, and he got up and said: "This must be the infantry of the Qin army who has arrived, ordered troops and horses, and landed in the city to garrison." Yu Ban is at the south gate, Li Dian is at the north gate, and Lejin is at the west gate. ”

So, Xiahoudun came to the east gate in person.

Cao's army stood at the head of the city, and arranged giant crossbows and thunderbolts. This thunderbolt is a kind of stone-throwing car, and it is named "thunderbolt" because of the loud sound when throwing stones.

After Cao's army was fully guarded, the Qin army slowly came to the city.

Ninety thousand Qin troops, divided into hundreds of small formations, dozens of middle formations, and several large formations. The soldiers covered the ground, the sharp edge was soaring, and the back row was almost connected to the sky.

However, Xuchang City is also tall and majestic, like a giant beast entrenched in heaven and earth. And the 40,000 Cao troops in it are the sharp teeth and minions of this giant beast.

The Xuchang city wall is as high as a twenty-story building, but it is just a single building, and I don't think it's anything. But if it is a city wall that spreads for more than ten miles, it is so huge, and the people under it are really small.

Qin Feng was stationed at the foot of the city, looking up, the people on the city were no bigger than matchboxes.

Such a majestic city is powerless just by looking at it, and ordinary people don't have the courage to attack at all.

"Qin Zijin, even if you have a million soldiers and horses, you don't want to enter my Xuchang City!" Xiahoudun exhaled and said, "Give the enemy some color." ”

Cluck, clatter, clatter, clatter, .......

A man-high crossbow flew down from the top of the twenty-story building, followed by an overwhelming array of stones.

Bang bang bang~, knock knock~.

The earth trembled, it was a mess, and it was dusty.

Even the soldiers of the Qin army who had fought for a long time couldn't help but change their color.

Qin Feng was naturally at a safe distance, and as the dust drifted in, he raised his hand and fanned the ashes.

Lao Jia Xujin said: "Lord, Xuchang is Cao Cao's base camp, which has been in operation for many years, and the city wall is tall, so it must not be attacked. ”

Today, most of the Central Plains, Gunzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Huainan region, and Yuzhou are all in the hands of Qin Feng. Coupled with his original land of four states, he already has seven and a half states in hand. There are only thirteen states in the world, and it can be said that half of the country is under control.

As for Cao Cao, only the Xuchang area and the Guandu and Chenliu areas remain.

Qin Feng was sympathetic to the soldiers, although he was eager to unify the Central Plains, he did not intend to storm Xuchang.

Now that Xiahoudun has appeared at the head of the city, it is obvious that the enemy has no possibility of going out of the city to fight. Qin Feng waved his big gun, "Didn't the Northern Earth Academy send a batch of new trebuchets a few days ago, lay out the position, and give the enemy some color." ”

With his order, the Qin army's large array began to move, and just at the edge of the security zone, the Qin army began to assemble trebuchets, all of which were large trebuchets.

The scene of tens of thousands of people assembling trebuchets is really hot.

Xiahoudun at the head of the city naturally saw all this, and he shouted disdainfully: "Qin Zijin, do you think your trebuchet can be cast on my Xuchang city head?" ”

Qin Feng smiled slightly, a male city like Xuchang is high, and the military road is wide and can arrange small trebuchets, so it is difficult for ordinary trebuchets to have an effect on such a male city. But Qin Feng's trebuchet this time is not ordinary, it is the latest achievement of the Northern Earth Academy of Sciences.

At this time, the Qin army's temporary Chinese army tent was erected, and Qin Feng went back to the tent to rest.

At the head of the city, Xiahoudun saw the Qin army's trebuchets taking shape one by one, and his heart began to go up and down.

Man Pet said from the side: "Our army is condescending, and the range of the thunderbolt is farther than that of the large trebuchet. If the enemy sets up trebuchets outside the safe zone, they will certainly not be able to throw them. This matter has been verified by our army itself, and the general does not need to worry. ”

When Xiahou heard this, he was finally relieved, and said: "Order, after a while, the trebuchet of the Qin army will be useless, so give me a laugh." ”

However, gradually, Xiahoudun began to worry again. Because the trebuchet of the Qin army is too huge, to say that it is three zhang high, and it takes a team of fifty people to operate a trebuchet depending on the head. How high and how far can such a trebuchet be thrown?

The erection of the trebuchet of the Qin army took almost an hour.

When Qin Feng returned to the front of the battle from the Chinese army's tent again, he saw more than 100 cranes and tall trebuchets like old cranes.

This trebuchet is a new type of trebuchet independently developed by Qin Jun. It is the product of Qin Feng's later concept, and the concept of the mechanical master Ma Jun and the mechanism master Huang Chengyan.

This trebuchet, also known as a 'gravity trebuchet', is infinitely close to a 'return cannon'.

When Mongolia attacked Xiangyang, it was recorded: the cannon was placed in the southeast corner of the city, weighing 150 catties, the machine fired, the sound shook the heavens and the earth, and all the hits were destroyed, and it was seven feet into the ground. Song appeased Lu Wenhuan's fear and surrendered to the city.

It can throw nearly 1,000 pounds of projectiles, which is extremely powerful. It can eject 200 to 300 pounds of stone projectiles at a distance of about 300 yards, and for every ten pounds of weight lost, the ejection distance increases by more than ten yards.

In medieval Europe, this trebuchet was used to smash through impregnable castles. The famous castle era also came to an end with the advent of this trebuchet.

When he saw Qin Feng's golden figure appear again, Xiahou Xuan's face became bad. But he still said: "The trebuchet is just a little bigger, and it will definitely not be able to be cast, we have verified it before." ”

When the soldiers of Cao Jun heard this, they were obviously relieved. It was indeed verified at the beginning, although the size of Cao Junchengtou's thunderbolt car was small, but it was condescending and projected far away. Therefore, a large trebuchet placed outside the projection distance of the thunderbolt could not throw stones at the top of the city.

Cluck, click~.

With the sound of winches and pulleys, more than 100,000 eyes on both sides were fixed on these trebuchets.

The trebuchet unit of the Qin army is well-trained, and this first throw, it is really coordinated. The end of the ammunition is pulled down, and the other end with the weight is raised, and hundreds of them are all at the same time, and the scene is very amazing.

Bang Bang~.

There was a loud noise, and when the weight in tonnage fell, it smashed a pit more than three feet deep in the ground. And the ammunition composed of stones roared into the sky.

"Can't fly, can't fly, can't fly!" The soldiers of the Cao army were all chattering, however, the shadow of the boulder was higher than the city wall.

When those boulders smashed into the city with the force of Mount Tai, the three armies of Cao Jun panicked. And the Qin army under the city erupted in cheers.

"Get cover!" Xiahoudun exclaimed with a green face.
