Chapter 217: Stone Rain

"There is no good solution, but there is a stupid way!" Lu An said with a smile.

"Dare to ask the lord what is the best plan?" The generals in the audience asked.

"Wenhe, how about the things you sent someone to make?" Lu An didn't answer, but asked Jia Xu.

"Lord Qiqi, from the moment you handed me the drawings, you have not stopped building, and there are almost two thousand at this time!" Jia Xu arched his hand.

"Well, it's almost, notify me when it's two thousand, let's go break the city!" Lu An nodded after hearing this, and said softly.

"Yes!" Jia Xu responded.

"My lord, what are you talking about? The last general is a little confused! The two of them, Huang Zhong and Zhou Tai in the audience didn't know what they meant, and asked curiously.

"Hehe, let Wenhe tell you!" Lu An smiled mysteriously and pointed at Jia Xu.

"It is a kind of catapult newly invented by the lord, according to the test, this catapult can not only emit 90 kilograms of boulders, but also reach a range of 400 steps!" Seeing everyone looking at him, Jia Xu explained.

"What? How can there be such a fetish? Hearing what Jia Xu said, the generals in the audience were shocked, even Guo Jia's eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, they are all people who have been in battle for a long time, and they are naturally no strangers to the catapults that frequently appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, but because of technical reasons, the catapults at that time have rarely come in handy because of various defects, but I didn't expect Lu An to quietly transform the catapult to this point, if what Jia Xu said is true, then this kind of catapult will shine again in this world, and it is not too much to call it a siege artifact.

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes looked at Lu An, the lord could create such a divine object while focusing all his energy on governing the place, which was a little too terrifying.

Five days later, 2,000 new catapults were built under Jia Xu's supervision, and then Lu An marched again and came to Shouchun City again.

"Lu Xuantong, you still dare to come!" The vast army approached naturally and couldn't hide Yuan Shu's ears and eyes, and under that large area of dense army, Yuan Shu roared.

"Lu Xuantong never fights uncertain battles, does he have any countermeasures?" Zhou Yu, who was behind Yuan Shu, frowned and muttered to himself. After fighting with the other party a few times, he still knows a little bit about the other party, knowing that the other party is a person who pursues perfection and will not forcibly attack the city under the condition that the strength of the troops is not much different, thinking like this, Zhou Yu feels a sense of foreboding in his heart, and now Bo Fu is still recuperating from his injuries, hoping that nothing big will happen.

"The traitor has not been destroyed, as a courtier of the Great Han, I naturally have to continue!" Lu An still responded with a smile.

"Hmph, do you think you can break through my Shouchun City?" Yuan Shu said with great disdain. He still understands military affairs, and has occupied a favorable position, as long as there are no other accidents, then it is quite difficult for the opposite side to attack when the strength of the two sides is not much different.

"Try" Lu An didn't want to talk to Yuan Shu too much, so he waved his hand to the captain who was waiting behind him, signaling them to get ready.

With Lu An's order, in the rear of the army, a new type of catapult was pushed and pulled by the soldiers to about 400 steps in front of the city wall, almost spreading the entire city wall, and on the side of those catapults, there was a large pile of huge stones.

"Catapult?" Yuan Shu was even more disdainful, this Lu Xuantong was a fool, thinking that this kind of weapon, which had almost been eliminated by the times, could cause damage to the thick walls of Shouchun City.

"What exactly is Lu Xuantong's plan?" Zhou Yu's brows furrowed even tighter, he didn't think that Lu An would make a meaningless move, so there must be some deep meaning in these catapults.

"Listen to me, get ready!" Lu An raised his hand.

"Squeak squeak!" After the stone was placed on the catapult, the sturdy soldiers who operated the catapult pulled the huge reins together, making a tooth-aching writhing sound.

"Put!" Lu An's hand fell.

"Bang! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

"Ahh

One after another, huge stones were knocked out by catapults, and the black swath all smashed into the city wall of Shouchun City, and there was a sense of immediacy that the black clouds were about to destroy the city, and then there was the huge collision sound between the city wall and the stones, and the sound of the soldiers being smashed on foot and screaming.

"Oh my God, what is this?"

"Oh no, the boulder is coming at me! Yes! ”

"Quick, run!"

The stones are like rain falling towards the city wall of Shouchun City, in addition to causing huge damage to the city wall, the damage to the soldiers is not small, some soldiers can not avoid being smashed directly on the city wall into meat sauce, and what is more terrible is the destruction of morale by the stones, Yuan soldiers who thought they were safe on the city wall suddenly found that there were such boulders falling on the city wall, and after being hit directly without corpses, they all hugged their heads and scurried, The power of heaven made them not dare to have any confrontation at all.

"How could a catapult hit so far? This is impossible, impossible, Lu Xuantong will still be able to demons him? In this earth-shattering scene before, Yuan Shu's eyes widened, and he roared with red eyes.

"Smack!"

A boulder fell beside Yuan Shu, so frightened that he hurriedly hid behind.

"Shouchun is over!" Compared with Yuan Shu's panic, Zhou Yu seemed to be much more magnanimous, he raised his head and threw stones down with a loud noise, closed his eyes, and then said with a dead heart.

As one of the few masters of the art of war in the world, Zhou Yu knows what this scene represents, if he knew in advance that Lu Anjun had such siege weapons, the defenders would have made some contingencies in advance, and at most there would be some damage, but the catapult with such a long range was the first to appear, and the blow to the morale of the party was absolutely huge, coupled with Lu Xuantong's deep hiding, I am afraid that the preparations such as stone bullets are very sufficient, this back and forth, Shouchun is afraid that he will really not be able to hold it.

As Zhou Yu expected, as the first appearance of the new catapult, Lu An had to play the most perfect result, in addition to building 2,000 trebuchets, he also painstakingly searched for the stone bullets used for launching, anyway, there is no problem in launching them for two hours in a row, and the role of these catapults must be brought to the limit.

"Bang bang!"

The stones rained like heavy rain for two hours in a row, and when the moat of Shouchun City was about to be filled in, and the city walls were already full of holes and tattered, this huge stone rain finally came to an end.

At this moment, a group of soldiers of the Lu An Army, who had already been gearing up, set up a ladder against Shouchun City under the leadership of several fierce generals and quickly climbed up.

If there is no such catapult rain, then these siege warriors must be greeted by countless arrows and gold juice, but under this feast of stone-throwing, not only the walls of the entire Shouchun City are half shorter, but even the soldiers on the head of the city have run away, of course, there are also those who have not run, but they have become a bloody corpse under those boulders.

It didn't take much effort, Zhou Tai, Huang Zhong, Shamoke and others took the lead in climbing the city wall and began to launch a strong attack on those Yuan soldiers who were hiding behind the city wall.

One side has already prepared for morale, and the other side has just been frightened by the rain of stones, and the two sides have almost completely formed a one-sided situation, especially after Zhou Tai killed hundreds of Yuan soldiers who blocked the city gate and opened the city gate, Yuan Shujun's soldiers had no hope of turning the tables.

After the city gate was opened, Lu An led the remaining army outside the city to rush in, gathered with Zhou Tai, Huang Zhong and other troops, and immediately began a new round of cleaning of all the Yuan soldiers who were still resisting, and several fierce generals began to exert their super combat power, rampaging through the crowd, killing all those who dared to resist.

"Surrender!"

"Don't kill, don't kill! We surrender! ”

Under such circumstances, the soldiers of Yuan, who were originally dissatisfied with Yuan Shu because Yuan Shu was too harsh, chose to kneel and surrender to avoid being killed, and others followed suit when they saw that it was effective.

"Why didn't Yu and Yuan Shu go?" After the battle, Lu An led the army to walk on the streets of the city and asked a little strangely.

"Probably ran away!" Jiang Qin on the side scratched his head and said.

"Yuan Shu may run, Zhou Yu should not, after all, Sun Ce's family is in this city, and Sun Ce himself is also recuperating in the city, Zhou Yu will not leave them alone." Lu An shook his head slightly and said. Zhou Yu's character is still very strong, leaving behind his own good overall horn and fleeing alone, then he is not the beautiful Zhou Lang praised by everyone.

"Lord, I caught Yuan Shu!" At that moment, Shamoko suddenly rode up from the far street, shouting. There was also a person with an atrophied expression under his armpit, who else could it be if it wasn't Yuan Shu.

"Huh? I didn't expect to be pulled out by you! Huang Zhong and the others on the side said with some annoyance. Catching the puppet emperor Yuan Shu is obviously the biggest credit in this battle, but it fell to someone else, which is a little regrettable.

"Hehe, I was looking for him as soon as I entered the city, but I didn't find it, I thought he must have wanted to roll up the cover and escape, so I went directly to the palace he built to find it, and sure enough, I found that this guy was cleaning up!" Shamoke put Yuan Shu still on the ground and laughed.

"Yuan Shu, what do you have to say so far?" Lu An nodded towards Shamoke, and then glanced at the desperate puppet emperor in front of him.

"Xuantong, for the sake of the friendship we had in the previous crusade against Dong Zhuo, will you let me go and spare me a way out? I will never go against you again! In a desperate situation, Yuan Shu's previous arrogance was completely shattered, and he cried and begged without grace. He still has a lot of wealth and wealth in life that he has not enjoyed, how can he be willing to die, as for the so-called famous family, it seems meaningless in front of life.
