The two kings (King of Taiyuan and King Langya) had many high-ranking officials in the Wei State, but as the founder of the Wu State, Qiao Ren's Qiao family was also prosperous. In Wu and even in the world, there are few young talents who do not mention the name of Qiao's Five Horses. The so-called Qiao's five horses are naturally not all Qiao Ren's sons, after all, Qiao Ren has a total of four sons, and the youngest son Qiao Feng is still a lazy person, although he can't talk about not learning and not having skills, but he is not very talented, but he is handsome and has a reputation for Qiao Lang.

The remaining three sons of Qiao Ren and the other three sons of Qiao Ren who are referred to by the five horses of the Qiao family and have an extremely close relationship with Qiao Ren Sun Song and Zhuge Ke, Zhuge Ke does not need to say Qiao Ren's son-in-law, and the Langya Zhuge family is only a third-rate family and they are all broken, so they are naturally counted into the Qiao family as if they have been embellished. And although Sun Song is also a nobleman, the Sun clan is a relative. But his father died early, and his mother remarried Qiao Ren, how can an idle prince compare to Qiao Ren, the righteous son of the person in power.

Qiao's five horses refer to these five people, and these five people also have their own characteristics, and they were arranged by the people with hearts in Shilin to say. What brave and unparalleled Qiao Zixiu, the handsome gentleman Qiao Ziming, Wu Chuliangju Zhuge Ke, the talented Qiao Zidao, and the purple-clothed god of war Sun Zilong. (Wang Hou wears a purple robe, so Sun Song is called the purple-clothed god of war).

Of course, there is a suspicion of exaggeration, but it can also reflect the talents of these five boys. And now, these five people also have their own duties, Sun Song is the Nanxiang Taishou, the general of the left chariot cavalry to serve under Lu Xun; George was a partial general who fought under Sun Shao; Zhuge Ke is also a side of Danyang's Taishou Shepherd; Even Qiao Sheng is also an official residence, a soldier of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Pengshi.

And the cautious Qiao Xun was in a daze at this time with the edict of appointment of the Taishou issued by Jianye, and managed Lujiang County for nearly a year without evidence.

However, Qiao Xun's excitement was undoubtedly small in terms of the entire battle situation, because in the battle between Wei and Wu in Taishan County. Although the Wei army was not defeated under the leadership of Cao Hong, it gradually fell into disadvantage. The west side of Mount Tai was completely exposed to the edge of the Wu army, while many counties in Qingzhou behind Mount Tai were also disturbed by Ganning's navy, and the entire Qingxu war situation was a piece of erosion. However, after the salt works in the Bohai Sea were destroyed, there was no salt transported into the Wei army camp, and the sequelae of the lack of salt were manifested after a few months, and finally Cao Hong had to abandon Taishan County and run into the front line of Chenliu defense.

Because Ganning's navy had fallen into the Yellow River several times to attack the ferries along the line, and defeated Cao Wei's Yellow River sailors several times, the Wei army had become a strong position in the Central Plains. And many cities on the eastern front, but wherever there is a place near the sea, the Wei army did not dare to station, for fear that in the middle of the night that day, they would be surrounded by the Wu army in all directions. So it was almost half sold and half given to Wu Guo. Wei lost Langya, Beihai, Licheng, Donglai and other counties in Qingxu Prefecture, and the new Qingzhou Mu Zhu Huan and Zhuge Jin, Tang Zhi and others pointed directly at Le'an County and Pingyuan County on the other side of the Yellow River.

However, although Wei lost a lot of land, the main force was not lost, Cao Hong and the favored defeated army still had 40,000 troops under his command, while the Wu army was divided again and again. There are only 50,000 horses supervised by Dai Gang, Sun Shao and others who really face Cao Hong, and the difference in the strength of the two sides is not obvious.

However, at this time, Wu did not have the strength and courage to swallow Wei in one go. In addition to occupying Qingxu, this battle is not only to occupy Qingxu. The biggest goal was to take a few more important towns of Wei, so Dai Gang decided to storm Chenliu. You must know that Chen Liuke is still the Liang of Weidu, the place where Cao Cao raised his troops, the city wall is tall and the grain is sufficient, and it is not so easy to fight, but Dai Gang has the belief that he will win. The reason is the secret weapon sent by Qiao Ren.

Qiao Ren did not completely watch the drama in Shouchun, on the one hand, it was to ensure the grain supply for the main force fighting on the Eastern Front, and on the other hand, it could be sent to the front line at any time as a general reserve, and finally it was a general logistics base. Qiao Ren crossed to the north in addition to the Chinese army. The craftsmen who almost hollowed out the general as a prison came to Shouchun with the most advanced siege technology to make various instruments for the front-line soldiers, and the roasting a few days ago was one of them.

However, the myth of this costume bomb is far more significant than its actual significance, so what was pushed up in this siege of Chen Liu was a completely modified catapult - the Mongols' sharp weapon 'Huihui Cannon'.

It was almost autumn, and the weather was getting cooler, but the city of Chenliu was like a furnace, and there was fierce blood inside and outside the city.

On the position of the Wu army in the south of the city, George, who is known as the brave and unparalleled, is personally commanding the Wu army, carrying a huge return cannon to the firing position.

The cannon in front of him was nearly two stories high, and it took eight horses to pull it, and such a huge thing was released in front of the battle, which not only frightened the enemy at the head of the city, but even the soldiers of the Wu army saw it, and they were not reluctant to be shocked by its terrifying body.

This kind of return cannon is improved by Qiao Ren for the second time, and it is another leap on the basis of the already improved thunderbolt car, in Qiao Ren's opinion, this kind of return cannon, regardless of its specifications or power, has reached the highest level of craftsmanship in the era of cold weapons. If you add, the explosion of the roasting, squeak! But even with the constant speculation, Qiao Ren still ordered the use of roasting to be forbidden and kept secret. Therefore, what was shipped this time was only a return cannon, and there was no altar jar that Dai Gang was expecting to explode.

Due to the huge size of this return cannon, its production process is also quite time-consuming, in fact, the construction began long before the battle of Qiaoxian, but by the end of the battle of Qiaoxian, only ten guns were made, and it was too late to catch up with the war in the future.

After several months of rest, this time, Qiao Ren had to transport these nearly thirty huge cannons to Chen Liucheng, and used this strong city in the world as such a killing weapon debut.

In the midst of a burst of shouts, thirty return cannons stood three hundred paces away from the enemy city, and the enemy city was generally solemn, and the army was also silent, and everyone held their breath, ready to see what power these behemoths had.

"Let's put a stone bomb on the test first." George immediately whipped his whip and ordered.

So, two sturdy sergeants, carrying a stone the size of a water tank on their shoulders, took heavy steps and laboriously placed the stone on the throwing device.

The surrounding sergeants were all speechless, not to mention anything else, the stone bullet should weigh more than one or two hundred catties just by looking at it, and what kind of destructive power such a heavy stone bullet would cause if thrown out, everyone really couldn't imagine.

With the sound of the squeaky pole twisting, the nerves of the soldiers also tensed, and the irrelevant people unconsciously retreated to the side, they were afraid that the pole would be crushed by the weight of the stone bullet, and they would be unlucky to be injured by the sawdust and gravel that stretched out.

"Ready." The gunner shouted, waiting for orders.

George stood in the horse formation, raised his eyes to look at the majestic Jinyang City, looked at the big banner with the word "Cao" fluttering at the head of the city, and his heart fluttered. Cao Hong, the only remaining founding general of Cao Wei, let you be my George's stepping stone!

"Launch." With a wave of the horsewhip, George let out a sigh.

Boom-Boom---

…………

Cao Hong, who was at the head of the city, was standing with his eyebrows at the moment, silently looking at the Wu army outside the city, swaggering, and arrogantly erecting the legendary improved version of the thunderbolt in front of his house.

Looking at those disdainful enemies, Cao Hong had an urge to rush out of the city and kill them, but at this moment, he could only watch with annoyance. There is no way, there are too many enemies, and the black pressure is like a locust, even if you are a dragon, you must be swallowed up by a small mouth when you enter this sea of locusts.

Cao Hong, as a veteran of the Cao family, has experienced more battles than George has fought in all the big and small battles combined, and he was forced by the situation to flee to Chenliu, so he himself did not think that his skills were inferior, but time was not waiting, but the huge catapult in front of him gave him an illusion.

The behemoth was the size of a small fortress, and George could hardly have imagined that it was man-made, in his own opinion.

At this moment, he and the soldiers around him were deeply shocked by such a sharp weapon of the enemy. As a veteran of nine deaths, Cao Hong clearly felt the frustration of morale, and he knew that under this predicament, the result of fear was death.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and said sharply: "The thief army is just a trick, there is no need to be afraid at all, you have to be afraid, give me the position to hold on, and prepare to fight"

Cao Hong's morale-boosting slogan had just been shouted, and the first stone bullet of the Wu army was fired.

With the sharp sound of tearing through the vacuum, the boulder crossed a graceful arc, flew over a long distance of more than 300 steps, and hit the top of the tower with unmistakable accuracy.

Boom, in an instant, the earth shattered, and the earth shook.

In the loud sound that resounded through the sky, half of the city tower was blown down, and the broken beams and pillars that flew down buried the soldiers below who could not dodge in the blink of an eye. The sky is full of rubble, and the smoke and dust cover the clouds.

After the stone projectile pierced the city tower, the impact force was still unabated, and it flew into the city for more than thirty steps before it landed, hitting a group of soldiers, and more than a dozen people were crushed from beginning to end, and turned into a pile of meat sauce in the blink of an eye.

After a few seconds, Cao Hong came back from his stunned and suddenly found that there was a cold sweat on his back. (To be continued......)
