Chapter 102: The Power of the Thunderbolt
The powerful body of the more than a dozen wells was almost flush with the city wall, which made all the Jinfan soldiers on the city wall look different, because everyone knew very well that if they were approached by these dozen wells, their advantage as the defender of the city would be wiped out in an instant.
"Sir, the other party dispatched the well barrier, and now the situation is very unfavorable to my Jinfan, why don't you lead the three hundred cavalry in the city to go out and kill for a while, as long as the opponent's well is destroyed, even if they attack until dark, they don't want to take Anhui City!"
The one who opened his mouth to ask for his life was Chen Lan, the general who had just attached himself to Jinfan, Chen Lan was a person who was unwilling to be mediocre, as a new general, he was eager to make great contributions in this battle, so as to show his talents to Jinfan's others, especially Wang Chong.
But Liu Ye shook his head and didn't give Chen Lan this opportunity: "General Chen, look, there are at least hundreds of soldiers guarding under each well on the other side, and don't you think that the siege soldiers outside are gathering near the city gate intentionally or unintentionally?" ”
Looking in the direction pointed by Liu Ye, Chen Lan's face suddenly became extremely ugly: "What does Mr. mean ......"
"Not bad." Liu Ye nodded and said, "The other party actually expected that our army might go out of the city to destroy their wells, so they have been waiting there for a long time, once we open the city gate, the Jiangdong army will inevitably take advantage of the situation to cover up and block the city gate, at that time, let alone destroy the well, as long as they don't attack the city, thank God!" ”
"This ...... How can this be? Chen Lan was completely panicked.
"Don't worry, it's going to be fine, I've actually been waiting for a long time at this moment!" Looking at the well outside the city that was slowly approaching like a snail, the corners of Liu Ye's mouth hooked up a sneer, "Come on, get ready for the thunderbolt!" ”
Thunderbolt! It was Liu Ye's last big killer weapon used to deal with the Jiangdong Army, and the reason why he had been hiding it before was that he was waiting for the other party's well.
Seeing that the huge stones that needed to be carried by many soldiers to be carried together were set up on the thunderbolt in an orderly manner, Chen Lan frowned slightly, and was a little worried in her heart.
These thunderbolt cars are the products of Liu Ye's stone-throwing carts after many improvements, because the time is too short, and they haven't had time to test the power, so Chen Lan has no bottom in her heart about whether it can really destroy the opponent's well as Liu Ye said.
After the boulder was loaded, Liu Ye squinted and estimated the distance, and ordered: "Aim at the enemy's well, listen to my instructions......"
Liu Ye slowly raised his arm, then waved down fiercely, and shouted: "Release!" ”
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!
A series of crisp explosions startled Chen Lan, who was unaware, and it was not until this moment that Chen Lan finally understood why the thunderbolt car was called a thunderbolt, because the sound made when it started was really like a thunderbolt.
The boulders of the millstone were like meteorites falling from the sky, flying out of the city with a whistling wind.
Boom Boom Boom!
As the boulder fell outside the city with incomparably ferociousness, as if the sky had collapsed, the entire Anhui city was shaking violently.
The accuracy of the thunderbolt is not high, and only two of the dozen or so boulders hit the well, but this is enough, because in the face of the terrifying impact of the boulder, these two wells are like patchwork blocks, and they completely explode at almost a light touch.
In addition, those boulders that did not hit the well also caused terrifying damage to the surrounding Jiangdong soldiers, and several soldiers were unfortunately hit head-on, and the whole person was smashed into flesh and mud alive.
Hiss -
Such a shocking scene, not only the Jiangdong soldiers outside the city were frightened and their faces turned pale, but even the Jinfan soldiers above the city were also inhaled.
Chen Lan swallowed her saliva with a shocked face: "...... first Sir, the power of this thunderbolt is too great, isn't it? ”
"Actually, I didn't expect it myself." Liu Ye shrugged his shoulders and confessed, "But the more powerful it is, the more beneficial it is for us?" ”
Chen Lan also smiled: "Now that I Jinfan has such a weapon to defend the city, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream for the Jiangdong Army to capture Wancheng again!" ”
Liu Ye shook his head, but he was not as optimistic as Chen Lan: "Because it was a hasty transformation, the structure of these thunderbolts is not reliable, maybe it won't be able to withstand the pressure of the boulder a few times, and it will fall apart, you see......"
Liu Ye said and glanced around, pointed to one of the scrapped thunderbolts with some regret, and spread his hands helplessly: "Before these thunderbolts are completely useless, how many wells can be destroyed by the enemy, you can only resign yourself to fate." ”
Chen Lan said: "Mr. said that it was funny, you need to know that the biggest purpose of these thunderbolts is not to destroy the opponent's wells, but to deter the morale of the enemy. ”
Liu Ye nodded approvingly, and then said to the soldier who was controlling the thunderbolt: "Don't be stunned, continue to project for me." ”
Liu Ye no longer has the luxury of destroying all the wells, but only wants to be able to crush the morale of the enemy army in one go.
Immediately afterwards, one after another boulders were continuously thrown out of the city, exploding outside the city like cannonballs, and the Jiangdong Army camp was in chaos, and all the soldiers began to scramble to dodge to avoid being crushed by the boulders.
This is miserable for the soldiers on the well, because there is no one to push it below, the wells can only be stupidly parked there as a target, so that the hit rate of the thunderbolt has increased a lot.
Behind the Jiangdong Army, on the hillside in the distance, Sun Ce, who was watching the battle, had a gloomy face: "What kind of stone throwing car is this?" How could it be so powerful? ”
Zhou Yu shook his head: "If you want to get a glimpse, I'm afraid you can only wait to break through the city!" ”
Sun Ce's confidence was seriously insufficient: "With such a sharp weapon in the other party's hand, can we still attack the city?" ”
Zhou Yu frowned and said, "Bo Fu wants to withdraw his troops?" ”
Sun Ce didn't speak, just nodded solemnly.
"If we withdraw now, won't all the efforts we have made so far be in vain? How do we account for the dead? ”
"But if we don't retreat, won't our army's casualties be even heavier?"
"Why don't you wait!" Zhou Yu persuaded, "Maybe this is the other party's last bargaining chip." ”
"How so?"
"First of all, the other party did not put the stone throwing truck into the battlefield from the beginning, which means that it can not last long, and secondly, such a big stone, even if all the corners of Anhui City are found, I believe that the number is extremely limited, and the most important point is that such a big killing weapon, the number they have can never be too much, maybe among the four gates, only the West Gate has it!"
Sun Ce's eyes lit up: "So what Gong Jin means is that we can find a breakthrough from the other three gates?" ”
Zhou Yu just wanted to nod, but suddenly found something, and said with a smile: "Maybe it's not necessary, you see, the other party's stone throwing vehicle, the attack frequency has become smaller and smaller, looking at this trend, it should stop soon!" ”
Sun Ce snorted coldly: "Order Han Dang, when the other party's offensive stalls, immediately launch a charge for me, suppressing my Jiangdong Army for so long, it is time for them to see how powerful my Jiangdong man is!" ”
