Chapter 323: Guandu (13)

That's true, but although Du Chen knows that there is such a thing as a catapult, he obviously doesn't know how to do it, and even if he can do it, it is obviously difficult to make a catapult that can throw stones the size of a grinding disc.

When encountering professional problems, it is natural to invite professionals to participate in the opinion, after all, there is a specialization in the art industry. Therefore, Du Chen was really uneasy 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 achieve the expected power after it was built.

One qiē and one qiē are still unknown things, so Du Chen obviously didn't dare to promise anything lightly, and Cao Cao is obviously a person who understands things, he obviously won't urge Du Chen, isn't he 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, Du Chen was busy, although he was only a second knife, but he had obviously been overdone by the myth, there was no way, and the reason why he said this was also based on facts.

After all, whether it is a stirrup or a crossbow, it is from Du Chen's hands, so he, the party, naturally can't be idle, and Du Chen obviously has invested enough money to be able to defeat Yuan Jun on the other side, and he gets together with a group of carpenters day and night, the purpose is to be able to get the catapult out to serve in the shortest possible time.

The hard work paid off, and with the unremitting efforts of Du Chen and several skilled craftsmen, the first catapult finally appeared in front of Cao Cao, looking at the catapult made of wood 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 at a distance of nearly a hundred paces, which immediately made Cao Cao a little stunned, but the surprise was far more than that. Because Si Lang said that this is just a few people who have improved on the basis of studying the catapults of their predecessors, and this has not reached the limit in Du Chen's heart.

Because in Du Chen's view, the catapult, a siege weapon, is much sharper than the one in front of him, especially the combined catapult in the West. Its range was obviously more terrifying, so Du Chen had been working hard in that direction.

However, this is not something that can be solved lightly, the counterweight trebuchet is assembled from complex parts, which is obviously a bit beyond Du Chen's imagination, but the more this is the case, the more Du Chen feels that he has to figure it out.

If Westerners can develop counterweight-type catapults, why can't Easterners, after all, Easterners are no worse than anyone else. Therefore, Du Chen is very confident that he can study a counterweight catapult, and he is very confident in himself and the craftsmen around him.

Although Du Chen's idea made Cao Cao a little helpless, but this catapult of nearly 100 steps was already a sharp weapon, not to mention anything else, there was obviously no problem in dealing with Yuan Jun, so Cao Cao asked Du Chen to continue to study trebuchets on the one hand. On the other hand, he ordered people to make catapults.

Cao Jun's craftsmen built several catapults in the fastest time. And Cao Cao was impatient to send these catapults to the battlefield, with such a powerful catapult, Cao Cao was obviously very excited, these days by Yuan Jun's arrow tower suppressed very badly, now can finally take revenge.

The catapult went to the battlefield and immediately made a contribution. Some time ago, Yuan Jun was arrogant, with the towering arrow tower, Yuan Jun suppressed Cao Jun and didn't dare to camp, but now Cao Jun can be regarded as really raising his eyebrows, after the catapult is ready. Suddenly, Yuan Jun didn't have a little temper.

Countless stones were flying in the air, and the range was obviously beyond Yuan Jun's reach, and Yuan Shao was obviously very clear about the catapult, but he didn't expect that Cao Jun's catapult could have such a long range, and it would be able to hit Yuan Jun's arrow tower head-on.

Under the ravages of the boulder three or four times, an arrow tower collapsed with a bang, and the archers on it obviously could not escape death, and their fate was obviously not much better when planted on such a towering arrow tower.

After seeing the catapult's meritorious service, Cao Cao's mood was obviously very good, and then, he launched an attack on Yuan's other arrow towers non-stop, however, Cao Cao obviously took it for granted, in the continuous attack, finally there was a catapult that could not bear such a huge work pressure, and turned into a pile of rotten wood,

Cao Cao was obviously a little helpless, it seemed that he was really a little irritable by Yuan Jun in the past few days, otherwise there would be no such thing, knowing that this matter was not in a hurry, Cao Cao obviously became a lot more stable,

Anyway, there is already a way to suppress Yuan Jun, but it is just a matter of waiting a few more days, as long as all the arrow towers of Yuan Jun are smashed, see what else he Yuan Shao can do, Cao Cao thought like this, he was obviously in a good mood,

Compared with it, Yuan Shao's face is obviously a lot worse, as the so-called, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, this is obviously the best portrayal of Yuan Shao, a few days ago, he was arrogant and unpretentious, and now, Cao Jun has obviously found a way to restrain himself,

Yuan Shao summoned the ministers to discuss the matter, and everyone saw Yuan Shao's iron-blue face, and the arrow tower was smashed to pieces by Cao Jun's catapult, and they all looked towards Lu Yi, this method was thought up by Lu Yi, since there was a problem in the matter, it was obviously for him to solve it,

It can be seen from this that today's Koyi is so unpopular in Yuan Shao's camp, everyone is eager to step on him a few times, how can anyone choose to help him,

However, Koji Yi obviously doesn't bother to help himself with others, but now Koji Yi obviously has someone in deep thought, after all, this matter is obviously very difficult to solve, Cao Jun's catapult is not only long-range, but also obviously amazingly powerful, although his own arrow tower has some defensive capabilities, but it obviously can't be compared with Cao Jun's catapult,

Koji Yi was very helpless in his heart, but the rest of Yuan Jun obviously liked to see Koji Yi so deflated, these days, Koji Yi's eyes were not a single qiē, and his character of not putting anyone in his eyes was finally guided, and no one in Yuan Jun liked him,

Judging and matching, a character who speaks up with righteousness, will frown slightly when he sees Liyi, not to mention other people, in their hearts, they are more happy to see Liyi being guillotined by Yuan Shao, rather than hoping that he will become more and more rampant.

"Why, doesn't General Koyi have no way to deal with Cao's army." Seeing that Koji Yi frowned and didn't speak, Guo Tu naturally wanted to come out and step on his two feet, and he naturally didn't dare to do this when Koji was majestic, but now Koji Yi has some problems, Guo Tu naturally won't let go of such an excellent opportunity,

Lu Yi snorted coldly, he glanced at Guo Tu coldly, and then said coldly: "Mo Feigong, you have a solution to this matter." ”

Guo Tu smiled slightly, "This method is what General Liyi thinks, Tu naturally doesn't dare to comment indiscriminately, but seeing that the general doesn't have the slightest sadness, it must be how to properly solve this matter after getting along." ”

Guo Tu's smile was obviously a little weird, he could naturally see that there was no way in his heart, the reason why he said this was just to be angry with Lu Yi, even though he was a villain who liked to observe words and looks, but he didn't want such a ride on top of his head,

Hearing this, Lu Yi's expression was obviously a little ugly, in terms of eloquence, Lu Yi really couldn't say Guo Tu, he glared at Guo Tu fiercely, but Guo Tu obviously didn't care at all,

"That's enough." Yuan Shao said coldly, now he is not in a very good mood, after all, Cao Jun's sudden offensive made Yuan Shao feel that the change was too fast, and he didn't react much, Cao Jun's fierce offensive had already made him unbearable.

In particular, everyone thought about it for so long, but obviously they didn't know how to solve Cao Jun, but it was comforting that Cao Jun's catapult could only bring stones to his own camp, and if the huge stone could be thrown into his camp, then Yuan Shao obviously didn't know how to solve it.

However, Yuan Shao's idea really came true a few months later, a boulder roared into Yuan Jun's camp, and smashed a camp tent, at this time Yuan Shao couldn't sit still, you must know that Cao Jun's catapult has been thrown from nearly a hundred steps to a few hundred steps, this is definitely an unbearable thing,

Except for Yuan Shao, everyone in the Yuan army became very helpless, everyone knew very well about the catapult, Cao Jun was able to increase the range to about one hundred steps, which was obviously possible, but if the range of the catapult was raised to a distance of three or four hundred steps, this was obviously not something that could be changed by casual modification.

And among Cao Jun, Cao Cao was obviously very excited, he carefully looked at the counterweight catapult in front of him, and his heart was abnormal with joy, this is a very precious treasure, a treasure that is difficult to find,

The catapult in front of you is called a trebuchet by Du Chen, it is assembled by various mechanical parts, after the composition, the power is somewhat amazing, the same size of the stone, the catapult can only throw a hundred steps, and the trebuchet is three or four times the distance of the trebuchet,

However, compared to the trebuchet, the trebuchet is too difficult to make, it takes a long time for each part of it, and most importantly, the trebuchet is very bulky and very difficult to handle.

However, Du Chen is obviously very optimistic about the power of the trebuchet, in his tone, he is quite convinced of the trebuchet, but for this, Cao Cao can also believe it, just imagine, a huge stone thrown in the place where the enemy army gathers, you can imagine how great its lethality must be,

However, now Yuan Jun has cowered in the camp and dare not go out, otherwise, Cao Cao will definitely let Yuan Shao taste the power of trebuchets, but now it is still possible, just imagine throwing a piece of boulder into Yuan Jun's camp tent, thinking about it makes Cao Cao excited.
