Liu Wei took out a piece of paper from the box beside him, spread it out on the low table in front of him, and said to Xu Shu and the others: "Everyone, please see!" ”

Seeing that Liu Wei took out this piece of paper, everyone knew that it must be a feasible movable siege vehicle blueprint, and hurriedly stepped forward.

The drawing depicts a strange folded vehicle, the body of which is made up of wooden poles, and underneath it, there are four wheels like horse-drawn carriage wheels.

Looking at the strange vehicles on the drawings and the various accessories marked on the side, Xu Shu raised his head and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, if this car is pulled by horses, it can really travel with the army, but the slings are too short......

"It's not short!" Xu Shu raised an objection, and Liu Wei smiled at him and said: "The catapult is cut into several sections, and the middle is connected by a tenon, but in this way, the bearing is a big problem. That's why this king has added a copper reinforcement ring! ”

Under Liu Wei's guidance, everyone finally understood the structure of the car.

Xu Shu looked down intently, Pang Tong and Jia Xu glanced at each other, and a look of admiration appeared on their faces.

"Your Highness, this car must not be obtained by others!" After carefully looking at the design of the siege vehicle, Xu Shu raised his head and said to Liu Wei: "If this car falls into the hands of others, the city will be of little use in the future!" ”

"That's right!" Liu Wei smiled slightly, and then said to Xu Shu and the others: "The siege of the army has always been based on climbing the ladder, and this king has recently thought that once the army arrives at the city of Shouchun, it is urgent to break through Shouchun. This king has drawn another picture, you can wait and see how it goes. ”

As he spoke, Liu Wei took out another picture and spread it flat on the table.

The drawings unfolded, and everyone looked carefully at the drawings drawn on the paper, and their faces were full of astonishment again.

What appeared before them was a tower-like object, the interior of which was divided into four floors, each connected by a ladder.

During the siege, the front and sides of the walls will be facing, and the surface will be covered with a thin layer of iron to prevent enemy troops from firing rockets.

It was impossible to place catapults on the walls, and the only way for the defenders to throw stones at the besieging side was to throw them with both hands, and the force was not too great.

As long as the soldiers pushed the siege towers forward, the enemy troops on the walls could not inflict much decent damage on them, and the difference between attacking the city and fighting outside the city was not very big.

"Your Highness!" After reading the drawings that Liu Wei showed them, Pang Tong looked up at Liu Wei and said: "If you use the siege equipment drawn on the map of Your Highness, our army will definitely be invincible in the future!" ”

"yes!" Also looking at the drawings, Xu Shu also nodded, but Xuan Wei asked Liu Wei: "Your Highness, it seems that this siege tower can't travel long distances......

"Exactly!" Looking at Xu Shu, Liu Wei said unabashedly: "The height of the siege tower must be determined by the height of the city wall, too high, too short!" And the tower is tall and not suitable for long-distance travel, so it can only be built under the city. ”

was talking to Xu Shu and the others about the siege equipment on the drawings, and Zhao Yun, who had been summoned to the palace, was already standing outside the door of the front hall.

"Your Highness!" Standing at the door of the front hall, Zhao Yun clasped his fists and bowed to Liu Wei in the hall.

Hearing Zhao Yun speak, Liu Wei raised his head and looked at the door.

"Zilong!" Seeing Zhao Yun standing outside the door, Liu Wei beckoned to him and said to him: "Presumably, the guards have already told King Zilong why he summoned you here!" ”

"Yes!" Striding into the hall, Zhao Yun stood up straight, and said to Liu Wei: "It's just that the last general can't figure it out, it is difficult for our army to enter Xuzhou in a big way at the moment, and it is only ...... by the Tiger Benwei."

Zhao Yun was only halfway through his words, and then he didn't continue, but it could be seen from the expression on his face that he didn't have much confidence in just going to fight Cao Jun with a tiger guard.

After glancing at Xu Shu and the others, Liu Wei's face was suddenly full of smiles, and he said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong only knows that this king wants you to go to Xuzhou, but he doesn't know what to do when you go to Xuzhou. There are only more than 3,000 Hu Benwei, no wonder Zilong has no determination to break Cao Jun! ”

"Your Highness's forgiveness!" Zhao Yun clasped his fists again, bowed down and said to Liu Wei: "Hu Benwei can fight, but the number is too small, once surrounded by the Cao army, the last general is confident that he can make the Cao army pay ten times the casualties, but the soldiers of the Hu Benwei are afraid that there will be no return!" ”

"This king wants Zilong to go to Xuzhou, not to fight with Cao Jun!" He pressed his hand twice towards Zhao Yunxu, and when Zhao Yun put down the fists he was holding, Liu Wei said to him with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "After Zilong led the army into Xuzhou, he only had to camp behind Cao Ying, and occasionally instigated individual soldiers to have friction with Cao Ying's soldiers, just to inform the soldiers that they could injure people, but they should definitely not beat people to death!" ”

Liu Wei ordered this, Zhao Yun didn't understand for a while, and stood in the hall, looking at Liu Wei with a blank face.

"General Zilong!" Seeing that Zhao Yun didn't understand Liu Wei's intentions, Xu Shu stood up, walked up to Zhao Yun with a smile and said to him: "This time to Xuzhou, Zilong only needs to use the banner of crusading against Lu Bu. But remember not to really fight with Lu Bu's army, after General Deng rescued Lu Bu, taking Lu Bu and his family back to Luoyang is a great achievement! ”

"Oh!" Zhao Yun is not only a brave general, but also a wise general, and his grasp of the battlefield is extremely accurate, which is why he has never been defeated since he led the army, but this time Liu Wei and others' decision made him a little confused, so he had to respond a little blankly.

It's no wonder that Zhao Yun is confused, he has always fought either or not, but this time Liu Wei and others made a decision to ask him to rescue Lu Bu under the banner of crusading against Lu Bu.

To rescue Lu Bu, he should have fought with the Cao army, but instead he had to camp behind the Cao army's big array, and he also had to make an alliance with the Cao army.

Zhao Yun is just a general, his world is relatively simple, how did he know that this expedition is not as simple as fighting, but mixed with Liu Wei and others' consideration of the situation in the world.

Knowing that explaining too much to Zhao Yun would only make him more confused, Liu Wei also stood up and said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong doesn't need to think too much, just go and camp according to our instructions!" ”

"No!" Zhao Yun responded, and then he hugged his fists and said to Liu Wei: "The last general will retire first, and he will lead the army to Xuzhou early tomorrow morning!" ”

Out of the front hall of the palace and on the way back to the Tiger Benwei military camp, Zhao Yun kept muttering in his heart, not understanding why Liu Wei and the others made such a decision.

followed Zhao Yun to the palace, and Tao Hu, who had been waiting for the main gate of the palace, was now the deputy general of Hu Benwei.

Seeing Zhao Yun's confused face, on the way out of the palace to the barracks, Tao Hu asked him in a low voice: "After the general came out, he was entangled, dare to ask the general, but His Royal Highness wants me to fight with tens of thousands of Cao troops with the strength of 3,000 people?" ”

"How could His Highness do such a thing!" Shaking his head, Zhao Yun vetoed Tao Hu's speculation, and said to Tao Hu with some doubts in his tone: "It's just that the order given by His Royal Highness this time is quite strange, which really makes General Ben scratch his head." ”

told Tao Hu about the decision made by Liu Wei and the others, because Zhao Yun knew that Tao Hu, like Guan Hai, was also Liu Wei's brother-in-law.

No matter what the brother-in-law said, he was from his own family, and even if Tao Hu asked Liu Wei, Liu Wei would not hide it from him, so he informed Tao Hu of the orders and plates he got in the front hall.

After listening to what Zhao Yun said, Tao Hu was also confused.

He also couldn't understand what Liu Wei's intention was in issuing this order.

The two rode along the street, and were silent for a while, before Tao Hu muttered: "Could it be that His Royal Highness felt that I was waiting for a lot of stuffiness in Luoyang City, and specially asked me to wait to go to Xuzhou to rest for a few days?" ”

Tao Hu's words came out of nowhere, and suddenly Zhao Yun said with a black line.

"If you want me to rest, I won't go to Xuzhou, which is constantly killing!" Pressing his hand on his forehead, Zhao Yun said to Tao Hu with a depressed face: "His Royal Highness wants me to wait, and we are not allowed to wait to start a war with either side, and I have to answer General Deng afterwards, these things are what General Ben can't understand the most!" ”

"Didn't Your Highness say that we can have some friction with the soldiers of Cao Ying?" Turning his head to look at Zhao Yun, Tao Hu smacked his lips and said to Zhao Yun: "That is the case, when you go to Xuzhou, the soldiers will go to make trouble, and the last general will also find some Cao Ying's bad luck!" ”

"No!" As soon as Tao Hu's words fell, Zhao Yun hurriedly waved his hand at him to reject his statement, and said to him: "General Tao is His Royal Highness's uncle, and he is also the deputy general of Hu Benwei, if there is also friction with General Cao Ying, I am afraid that Cao Cao knows His Highness's intentions!" Although we don't know why His Highness is like this, Cao Cao can come out in front of the tent, once he sees His Highness's true plan, His Highness's deployment may be broken! ”

"That's what the general said!" was denied by Zhao Yun's idea, Tao Hu didn't insist, but just hugged his fist and arched at Zhao Yun, and then went to the Tiger Benwei camp with Zhao Yun.

The Qin army and the tiger guards were about to leave for Xuzhou, but outside Xuzhou at this time, there were war drums and killing sounds.

Lu Bu at the head of the city was already covered in blood, and since the Cao army attacked the city, he had led the Xuzhou army to repel several attacks by the Cao army.

"Wen Hou, Cao Jun is coming up again!" As soon as he repelled a wave of attacks by the Cao army, Lu Bu was about to rest against the battlements, when an officer of the Xuzhou Army, who was also covered in blood, ran to Lu Bu and reported to him with his fists.

Knowing that Cao Jun had come up again, Lu Bu stood up violently and looked out of the city.

The city was already full of countless corpses of Cao Jun, but the Cao Jun behind them still poured up to the city wall like a tide.

"Shoot the arrows!" Seeing Cao Jun rushing towards the city gate with a ladder and a battering ram, Lu Bu hurriedly shouted to the soldiers beside him.

Under the several attacks of the Cao army, the Xuzhou army on the city wall has been beaten and disorganized, and Lu Bu gave an order, and the soldiers of the Xuzhou army did not care about the tightness of the arrows, and opened their bowstrings one after another, and shot feather arrows messily at the city.
