Chapter 590: Improving Catapults

On the day when the Yuan army's camp tent was completed, Cao Cao and Zhao Fei carefully studied the Yuan army's camp tent, and the two found that the Yuan army's camp was built according to the situation, and the construction was quite fine. If the two of them were to choose a place to sneak attack, it would definitely be an unusually headache.

At this time, Zhao Fei felt that this Koji Yi was indeed a rare general. Not only is he well-trained in the army, but he also has a lot of tactics. Such a person is obviously more difficult to deal with than Yan Liangwen and Chou combined. After all, Yan Liangwen and Chou are just a husband, while Lu Yi is a man of all-round talent.

The threat of such a person is really great, but Zhao Fei obviously has no way to deal with this person. After all, this person's credit is very great, even if Zhao Fei uses a small conspiracy, but Yuan Shao must believe it. However, now that Koji Yi has won Yuan Shao's trust, what is the way to deal with Koji Yi.

Zhao Fei shook his head, Cao Jun has countless generals, is it not enough to defeat one Kojiyi. Zhao Fei categorically wouldn't believe this. These two defeats were unintentional and unexpected, as long as he dealt with it carefully, he didn't believe that Koji Yi would be able to turn over any wind.

With confidence, Zhao Fei's expression obviously improved a lot. Now that he knew that Yuan Shao had such a trustworthy and strategic general by his side, Zhao Fei naturally wanted to raise 100% of his energy to deal with it.

The next battle was particularly important for Cao Jun, who categorically could not afford any more problems. Cao Jun was burned by Yuan Jun, which obviously had a great impact on Cao Jun's morale, so he had to be cautious in everything.

Of course, in addition to this matter, there is another particularly important thing that should be considered, and that is the matter of the black nest. Although there is no guarantee that the black nest will not be rehearsed as it was in history, it is obviously very important.

It is almost impossible to defeat Yuan Jun head-on, not to mention whether Cao Jun has such strength, even if he has, Yuan Shao will definitely not give Cao Jun this chance. After all, after several battles, Yuan Shao had been frightened by Cao Jun. Moreover, it is especially important to conquer a camp, thinking about it is a headache.

Zhao Fei's spies had already been discharged, and there were more than one or two. However, no one has come to reply now, which is also something that makes Zhao Fei feel quite distressed. In this era, the transmission of news is too slow, which makes Zhao Fei have no way.

Zhao Fei had just clarified his thoughts here, and Cao Cao sent someone to invite him to discuss the matter. Zhao Fei shook his head helplessly, he just felt idle for a few days, but Cao Cao suddenly called himself to go to the meeting, it was obvious that something had happened.

Obviously, when Zhao Fei came to Cao Cao's tent, Cao Cao was sitting on the main seat with a sad face. Seeing Cao Cao's expression, Zhao Fei was obviously a little puzzled, but he also realized that if Cao Cao could put on such an expression, it would prove that this matter was indeed a bit tricky.

After Zhao Fei entered the camp, everyone looked at him, obviously, since Zhao Fei is a think tank, it is obvious that the solution is pressed on Zhao Fei's body, if Zhao Fei can't solve it, then there is really nothing to be done from now on.

"What's going on?" Seeing the solemn looks on everyone's faces, Zhao Fei hurriedly asked. I didn't hear any shouts and killings, it was definitely not Yuan Jun who attacked rashly, since this is the case, what happened?

Zhao Fei was very puzzled, but at this time Cao Cao suddenly said: "Pengju hasn't paid much in the past few days, obviously I don't know what happened." Come with me, take a look, and you'll see. ”

Zhao Fei nodded, and then accompanied by Cao Cao and a group of generals, he removed Cao Cao's camp. When they came out of the camp, they went straight to the gate of the camp. Before he came to the gate of the camp, Zhao Fei obviously saw a huge object standing in the Yuan army's camp far away. Zhao Fei was stunned for a moment, and then thought of something. However, this is a bit too shocking.

Zhao Fei secretly thought in his heart that for the Arrow Tower, the one built by Yuan Jun was indeed very shocking. However, shock is shock, Yuan Jun's arrow tower is obviously extremely effective, otherwise Cao Cao and Cao Jun's generals would not have shown such an expression.

However, this thing could not stop Zhao Fei, because Zhao Fei knew very well how to restrain Yuan Jun's strategy. Catapult, as long as the catapult is built, Cao Jun's arrow tower is obviously an ornament.

After Cao Cao saw Zhao Fei's expression, he couldn't help but feel relieved. Obviously, Zhao Fei was just stunned for a moment, but he didn't have a worried look, it was obvious that Zhao Fei definitely had a way to deal with Yuan Shao.

"Is there a way for Pengju to deal with this situation?" Cao Cao asked loudly. In Cao Cao's opinion, there should be no problem with this matter, because Zhao Fei did not have the slightest strange expression, which proved that he already had a solution in his heart.

Zhao Fei nodded slightly, "Yuan Shao occupies the high ground and wants to use this to suppress our army, the idea is good, but it is still not unbreakable!" ”

Cao Cao obviously liked to hear Zhao Fei say this, but he still sighed with emotion. He already had a headache about this matter, but he didn't think of a solution, and Zhao Fei just glanced at it, and then thought of how to deal with it, which is really not good.

"In that case, how do you think Pengju should deal with this?" Cao Cao hurriedly asked. Yuan Jun's arrow tower has already crushed Cao Jun's head, and if you don't want to solve it, it will have a great impact on morale.

He didn't even dare to come out of the camp tent when he was suppressed, God knows how Yuan Jun would laugh at Cao Jun. Therefore, the sooner the Yuan army's arrow tower is resolved, the more beneficial it will be for Cao's army.

However, Zhao Fei shook his head slightly, "I can't rush this matter, because I don't have what I want here." Although Zhao Fei knew that the catapult could restrain Yuan Jun, it was obvious that there was no catapult now.

Cao Cao was slightly puzzled, he obviously had a hard time thinking of anything that could be used to suppress Yuan Jun's arrow tower. He looked at Zhao Fei, and then hurriedly said: "It's good that Pengju lacks something to say, why do you want to sell Guanzi!" ”

Zhao Fei smiled, and then said, "This thing I'm talking about is called a catapult!" ”

"Catapult!" Cao Cao muttered, although he didn't know what this catapult was, but according to the name, it could be seen that Zhao Fei used the catapult to throw stones. However, can just throwing stones suppress Yuan Jun?

Looking at Zhao Fei with puzzled eyes, Cao Cao was obviously very anxious at this time, and he desperately hoped that Zhao Fei would give him a reasonable explanation, so that he would not be so tormented anymore.

Zhao Fei smiled and shook his head, he glanced at Cao Cao, and then said: "Go back to the camp first, and then tell the soldiers, put up with him Yuan Jun for a few days." After speaking, Zhao Fei turned around and left, and Cao Cao could only follow helplessly.

Back at the camp, Zhao Fei finally told Cao Cao about the catapult's distance. Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and it was obvious that he knew very well how great the impact of catapults on the battlefield would be if they appeared on the battlefield.

However, what Zhao Fei said was just the tip of the iceberg. A catapult is a pretty sharp siege machine. As long as there are enough stones, there is obviously no problem in breaking through the walls of a city with a catapult.

Moreover, throwing a boulder the size of a millstone into the enemy camp is a powerful image. This can be a great blow to the morale of the enemy.

You know, in the game, the army that is smashed by a catapult will reduce morale, so this is definitely a siege weapon.

But although Zhao Fei knew that there was such a thing as a catapult, he obviously didn't know how to do it. Moreover, even if he could, it would obviously be difficult to make a catapult that could throw stones the size of a millstone.

When encountering professional problems, it is natural to invite professionals to participate in the opinion. Therefore, Zhao Fei was really nervous in his heart, because he didn't know if the catapult could be built quickly, and at the same time, he didn't know if the catapult would be able to hit the expected power after it was built.

Everything was still unknown, so Zhao Fei obviously didn't dare to promise anything easily. And Cao Cao is obviously a person who understands things, and he obviously won't urge Zhao Fei. Isn't it just a turtle with a shrunken head for a few days, which has no effect on Cao Cao at all.

In the next few days, Zhao Fei was busy. Although he is only a second knife, he has obviously been overdone by mythology. There is no way, there is a factual basis for saying this.

After all, whether it is a stirrup or a Zhao crossbow, it is from Zhao Fei's hands, so he, the party, naturally can't be idle. And Zhao Fei obviously invested enough money to defeat Cao Jun, and he got together with a group of carpenters day and night, the purpose was to get the catapult out of service in the shortest possible time.

The hard work paid off, and with the unremitting efforts of Zhao Fei and several skilled craftsmen, the first catapult finally appeared in front of Cao Cao. Looking at the wooden catapult in front of him, Cao Cao was obviously very skeptical of its combat effectiveness.

However, with the efforts of several soldiers, the catapult threw a stone the size of three heads nearly a hundred paces away, which immediately made Cao Cao a little dumbfounded. However, the surprise was far more than that, because Zhao Fei said that this was just a few people who should have entered on the basis of studying the catapults of their predecessors, and this had not yet reached the limit in Zhao Fei's heart.

Because in Zhao Fei's opinion, the catapult, a siege weapon, is much sharper than the one in front of him. Especially the combined catapult in the West, its range is obviously more terrifying, so Zhao Fei has been thinking about what he is working on.

However, this is not an easy solution, the counterweight trebuchet is assembled from complex parts, which is obviously beyond Zhao Fei's imagination. But the more this is the case, the more Zhao Fei feels that he has to figure it out.

Since Westerners can develop counterweight-type catapults, why can't Easterners, after all, Orientals are no worse than anyone else, so Zhao Fei is very confident that he can research a counterweight-type catapult, and he is very confident in himself and the craftsmen around him.
