"Ma Jun, take that thing of yours and show it to everyone." Lu Bu whispered to the inner room, and Ma Jun walked out with a wooden object.

"Ma Jun, I've seen you, gentlemen, generals." Ma Jun was born with a bit of a stutter, and everyone was not surprised by this.

"What is this? Could this be able to break through the cities of Xuzhou? Xu You stepped forward and looked at the novel object in Ma Jun's hand, and asked very suspiciously.

"This is a stone machine rebuilt by Ma Jun based on a catapult, and I named it Thunderbolt! Although it is based on the transformation of the catapult, but the power of the Thunderbolt and the catapult is completely incomparable, the body of the Thunderbolt is huge, and a large number of sandbags are tied to the bottom of the car to throw out a boulder that reaches three or four hundred catties! If it hits the city wall, it will be a thunderbolt! Although the cost of a Thunderbolt is much more expensive than that of a catapult, it also requires more materials than a Catapult. But what I value is its great power and long range, and it couldn't be better if it was used to break through a fortified city like Pengcheng! Lu Bu proudly took the wooden model from Ma Jun's hand and began to explain it to everyone.

"If this thing really has the power that the lord said, it must take a lot of time to make, right? If you start the crusade now, will you be able to catch up with the needs of the army? Lu Su took the model of the thunderbolt from Lu Bu's hand, looked at the complex structure, and couldn't help frowning and asking.

"Hehehe, I have already sent someone to collect materials early this morning, and Yu Chenliu has started to build the first batch of thunderbolts. There are thousands of skilled craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry, plus Chen Liu's soldiers to help them, and when our army arrives in Xuzhou, there should be a batch of newly built thunderbolts arriving at the front line. "Lu Bu knew that although the structure of the thunderbolt was a little complicated, most of them were composed of some wooden parts, and Cao Ying was the one who broke Yuan Shao's 'Tushan Arrow Tower', and after getting Liu Ye's drawings of the stone machine, he actually built hundreds of stone trucks (that is, thunderbolt cars) overnight. Lu Bu has always attached importance to craftsmen, and with the help of tens of thousands of soldiers left by Chen, there is no reason why he would be inferior to Cao Ying, who was temporarily clinging to Buddha's feet.

"The lord is wise! I can't wait. ”

Dividing line

In the spring of the fifth year of Jian'an, when Lu Bu, the general of the hussars, led an army of 520,000 to the east, and broke more than ten cities of Cao's army along the way. Cao Ying contracted the defensive line and decided to die in Pengcheng, a fortified city in Xuzhou.

"Put !!"

"Bang! Boom! Bang" was heard with the sound of hundreds of lever ejections.

"Boom!! Boom Boom!! Hundreds of catties of huge rocks smashed on the city wall of Pengcheng, a few stones happened to smash into the arrow tower of the city wall of Peng Chen, the wooden structure of the arrow tower collapsed instantly from top to bottom, and more huge stones smashed into the army formation of Peng Chen Cao Jun, a burst of rolling and crushing on the head of the city suddenly appeared a bloody and blurred area, in the disgusting pile of minced meat, sometimes there are one or two Cao Jun who are not dead holding even their own can't tell whether it is a thigh or a calf and wailing, which makes the morale of more than 100,000 Cao Jun plummet.

"Damn!! Miaocai, lead the tiger and leopard to ride out and burn those catapults for me!! "Cao Ying's eyes are red, Pengcheng is already his last reliance, if he is allowed to smash Lu Bu like this, the strong city he relies on will be smashed into a 'gravel city' sooner or later!

"This, my lord, it's not that I'm afraid of death and dare not go, but there are only a few thousand cavalry in the city, and those catapults are all guarded by hundreds of thousands of troops, how can thousands of people penetrate the military formation of hundreds of thousands of state troops?" Xiahou Yuan pointed to the sea of people outside the city, and said with some embarrassment.

Cao Ying only dared to burn his qi and blood in the five hearts, and he was dizzy for a while.

"Lord, there is only one plan for today, that is, to vote for Pi Liu Bei, and then send someone to Huainan to ask Yuan Shu to send troops to save Xuzhou, otherwise it can be concluded that Lu Bu is the world! I'll have to wait for my hands to be captured. Guo Jia looked at the thunderbolt cars that were sending 'life-threatening flying stones' to Pengcheng one after another, and he only felt helpless in his heart.

"The eldest brother took away Liu Bei's Pengcheng in Xuzhou, is Liu Bei still willing to take in the eldest brother?" Xiahou Yuan asked suspiciously.

"At the beginning, Liu Guanzhang and the family of many Xuzhou generals were all sent back to Liu Bei, in order to leave a way out when they were forced to do so, and now Pengcheng is uncomfortable in the lonely city, it is better to withdraw Xiapi, join forces with Liu Bei, and under the pretense of annexing Yuan Shu's court, please accept Xuzhou, if he can send troops to Xuzhou, then our army still has a glimmer of hope." Cao Ying said weakly.

"Cao Ying withdrew from Pengcheng and went to Pi? Hahahaha!! Providence!! What providence! Liu Bei, Cao Ying, do you also have the day of being trapped in Xiapi? Hahahaha" After Lu Bu received the news of Cao Ying's withdrawal, he looked up to the sky and laughed in the surprised eyes of everyone.

"Why is the lord so happy? Liu Bei and Cao Ying's main force still exists, and there are many river areas in Xiapi, which is more disadvantageous to my and Zhou's iron cavalry, and I believe that after entering the battle of Pengcheng today, Cao Ying and Liu Bei will inevitably make trebuchets on a large scale. Lu Su said with a sad face.

Jia Xu suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahahahaha"

"Wen and you" Lu Su didn't expect Jia Xu, who has always taken a low-key route, to also launch a 'laughing madness'.

"If Cao Ying can die in Pengcheng, there is still a trace of life, not only Pengcheng City is not only strong but also very huge, using the streets of the city to fight with our army in the streets, then our army's thunderbolt and cavalry The two sharp weapons will be useless, and the contest between the two armies has completely fallen into a situation of exchanging lives for lives, but he went to Xiapi at this time to accompany Liu Bei to the funeral, maybe he will drag the army of Huainan Yuan Shu to go on the road with them, can I not laugh?" Jia Xuxiao's tears came out of laughter, and his words shocked Lu Bu, who was originally laughing!
