Chapter 185: Four or two thousand pounds

About ten miles to the west of Wuguan, there is a high slope. On the high slope, dozens of Shu Han soldiers are busy, more than a dozen craftsmen are assembling a three-bow crossbow with their hands and feet, and another one has been assembled and is being debugged. A spear-like arrow was already in the slot.

This kind of arrow was originally used on a thousand-step crossbow, and it was placed on a three-bow crossbow with a range of 500 steps, which was a bit large. However, after receiving that the Wei army would have warships to participate in the battle yesterday, Wei Ba ordered someone to make modifications, and the arrow slot was expanded a lot, just to put down this kind of giant arrow.

In addition to the enlargement of the arrow slot, the giant arrow itself has also been modified, the arrow is specially made overnight, with a large barb that exceeds the average crossbow arrow, this barb can ensure that even if it is pulled vigorously after shooting into the plank, it will not unhook. At the tail of the giant arrow, a two-finger-thick hemp rope was tied.

The giant arrow that has been modified in this way will definitely not be able to shoot five hundred steps away, but Wei Ba does not plan to shoot that far, the widest part of Danshui is only a hundred steps, this kind of large warship cannot dock and travel, it will generally be in the middle, so that at most, about fifty steps from the shore, fifty steps away, such a three-bow crossbow has enough liliang to shoot through the ship's plank, and the spear-like giant arrow pierced deeply into the hull.

Wei Ba's original jihua was launched from the shore, and after shooting a giant arrow into the cabin, he dragged it hard to interfere with the opponent's advance. Of course, such a method is effective, but he is not sure how effective it will be. After being reminded by Tsunotake, he immediately came up with a new idea and temporarily changed his strategy, and the result of this was that the giant crossbow that was originally intended to be placed on the bank of the river was to be replanted on a high place.

Fortunately, these people are all from the newly formed chariot battalion, and they are very familiar with the disassembly and assembly of this kind of giant crossbow, although it is a little hasty, but it is still completed very neatly. By the time Sima Shilou's ship came into view, they were all ready.

Wei Ba also rushed to the scene and checked the preparations. The non-commissioned officers of these tank battalions were very satisfied. Most of these people believe in the Tao of the Heavenly Master, and their awe of Wei Ba, who joined the army, is far less in awe than the title of the Guanzhong District Governor on his head.

"Great sacrificial wine. So that those ships can be caught? Shi Chang Wang Hui wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and asked with a smile.

"Catch?" Wei Ba smiled: "That's too cheap for him, I want to sink him completely." ”

"With such a big ship, we can sink him with this little thing?"

"That's right. This is called four or two thousand pounds. If you don't understand it now, you'll know it when the time comes. ”

"That's it. The way of the great sacrificial wine is clever, and I admire it from the bottom of my heart. Wang Hui glanced at Wei Ba with admiration, and turned around to beckon everyone to get ready to start. As a small leader of the Heavenly Master Dao believers, and more or less literate a few words, Wang Hui was fortunate to have heard Wei Ba's sermon. He couldn't fully understand the truths that Wei Ba said, and at first he even felt that it was not advanced enough. It's all something summed up from daily life, and some of them he originally knew that Wei Ba was just using arithmetic to make accurate calculations, just like that circumference ratio, ordinary people regarded it as three to one. He can calculate one in ten million with accuracy.

Wang Hui didn't take it very seriously at first, and later entered the chariot battalion, only to find that those precise principles are extraordinary, and those huge water turbines in the workshop are the most direct examples, who would have thought that the weak water drives the huge water wheel, and can actually transport wooden disks weighing dozens of stones, so that those stone balls weighing thirty or forty pounds can be rubbed and formed by themselves. And each finished stone bullet is so uniform, it is a few points better than manual grinding, and as for the labor savings, it is even more incalculable.

Now Wang Hui has become a fan of Wei Ba, and he obeys Wei Ba's words. He is also full of confidence in the next battle.

"Boyu, I'll leave it to you here, follow my orders." Wei Ba patted Wang Hui's mud-stained shoulder and smiled gently.

In front of so many people, Wang Hui was very excited to be greeted so closely by the Great Sacrifice Wine of Zhitou, and his black and red face turned a little red. He slapped his chest loudly and said loudly: "Great sacrificial wine, you can rest assured, I promise to complete the task." ”

Wei Ba Haha smiled, turned around and went down the dirt slope. Lined up by the river, beat the drums of war, and erected battle flags.

The sound of war drums immediately alarmed the Wei soldiers on the warship, and also alarmed Sima Shi. Sima Shi walked out of the cabin quickly, looked at the Shu Han army standing on the shore, and saw Wei Ba's battle flag at a glance. He couldn't help but sneer: "Sure enough, it's him." ”

Liang didn't know why, the news that Peng Xiaoyu brought back hadn't reached his ears yet, and he didn't know that Sima Shi Weishenme saw Wei Ba like seeing an enemy who killed his father. Could it be that because Wei Ba destroyed their Jihua in Fangling, they returned in embarrassment?

Sima Shi was also not interested in explaining to Liang Ji those thoughts that were not humane, he snorted disdainfully: "He is too self-righteous to line up here, I don't plan to go ashore here." ”

Liang Ji smiled. Regardless of Sima Shi's attitude towards Wei Ba, at least he hadn't lost his mind yet. The reason why the Mariners can be a surprise force is that they can choose their own landing site. Warships cruised up and down the Dan waters, and any suitable spot could be where they landed. In this way, it became an impossible task for the Shu Han army to pre-arrange the battle array. It was much easier for the warship to dock than for thousands of people to line up, and by the time the Shu Han army arrived, they would probably have set up the vanguard on the shore. Even if the Shu Han army follows them closely, they are not afraid, stay on the boat, they don't have to worry about the Shu Han army coming to attack, they always have the initiative, but the Shu Han army can only passively follow them, and sooner or later they will be dragged exhausted.

To deal with such tactics, the best way is to send a few more groups of people to prepare in different locations, but with the strength of Wuguan City, if they do this, it will undoubtedly weaken the defense of Wuguan City, which is also very unfavorable to the Shu Han army, and can also complete their tactical arrangements.

It was because he saw the Shu Han army arrayed on the shore that Sima Shi was so disdainful.

His pride will soon be shattered, though.

Wei Ba raised his hand and waved it lightly, and Wei Xing, the young soldier of the Wei family, immediately raised the colored flag in his hand, waved it vigorously, and issued an order to attack.

Whether it is Cao Wei or Shu Han, in fact, they all come from the same source, and the way of issuing orders in the army is almost the same. Seeing that the Shu Han army issued the order to attack, the Wei army reacted without thinking, and raised the shields in their hands facing the soldiers on the north bank, preparing to meet the arrow array attack of the Shu Han army. They weren't even interested in fighting back, and no matter how dense the arrow array was, it wouldn't kill the ship in any way other than sending them some arrows.

So they just need to be on guard and make sure they don't get hurt by stray arrows.

But they soon discovered that it was not what they had imagined. The Shu Han army shot arrows, but instead of a dense rain of arrows, but a few scattered arrows. These arrows were not fired by the Shu Han army on the bank of the river, but from the high slope above their heads. What surprised them even more was that these arrows ...... It seemed too big, not like an arrow, but like a spear thrown by someone.

Some people in Cao Wei's army have heard of this kind of warfare, when Emperor Wu conquered the pass, Ma Chao's army had such soldiers, who could throw a spear slightly shorter than a foot spear to kill people, and the distance was probably so far. Because of its huge lethality, it was once rumored to be miraculous in Cao Wei's army.

Seeing these spears flying out of their heads, many people subconsciously thought of the rumor, and instinctively clenched the shield in their hands.

However, the spear that flew quickly did not hit anyone, but plunged deep into the hull of the ship about five feet above the water. The huge arrow pierced the hull of the ship, making a deafening sound that made every Wei soldier feel a thrill.

Such a thick plank is shot through, and if it is shot at a person, what is the use of a shield? Isn't a shield just a thin layer of wood compared to a ship's planks? This legendary weapon is really not trivial.

It was when the soldiers of the Wei army secretly congratulated themselves that they had escaped, and they discovered more abnormalities.

The spear-like arrows were tied with ropes behind them. After the giant arrow was shot into the hull of the ship, the rope that was still swaying by the river wind was suddenly straightened, and immediately after, one by one, black shadows slid down the rope from the high slope on the opposite bank. It grew larger and faster in their field of vision, and then with a thud, it hit the side of the ship.

The huge building ship was hit with a loud bang, and it groaned again, and the hull of the ship shook violently, and many Wei soldiers were unstable on their feet, staggering and falling to the ground, as if they were drunk.

Sima Shi also shook for a moment, but he was immediately supported by the guards. He raised his arms, pushed away the guards, and sneered: "Just a few stones, you want to smash my warship?" Wei Ba thought too simply. If this hillside is a few feet higher, it will be about the same. ”

Liang Ji's face was a little pale, but he still smiled and agreed: "The young master is reasonable, such a big stone, such a height, at most, can only knock out some cracks in the ship's board, if you want to break it, liliang is far from enough." If the slope is a few feet higher, maybe it's a little possible. ”

Sima Shi sneered again and again, and was about to say a few words of contempt for Wei Ba, when suddenly his feet shook, and his body involuntarily rushed forward two steps, almost falling to the ground. He was about to say something, when he saw the soldiers on the ship, he suddenly realized something, and his face turned pale.

"No, these stones are not intended to smash the ship, but to capsize our ship."

Liang Ji blinked his eyes and looked at Sima Shi blankly. Sima Shi Gu couldn't explain to him, and immediately ordered: "Everyone, go to the port side!" Immediately! Fast! ”

The battle is fierce, and the snake tail is always dangling in front of Lao Zhuang, begging for strength, asking for a monthly ticket! Also, is there a referral ticket? Lao Zhuang's recommendation votes for the past two days are a bit miserable. It's just past midnight, don't tell me I don't have a recommendation ticket, hehe...... (To be continued.) )
