Xiahou Mao surrendered, but Jianzhang Palace was still in Yan Fei's hands. In order to clear the remnants of the Wei army in Guanzhong, Liliang, Wei Ba decided to storm Jianzhang Palace.

Storming Jianzhang Palace is not only to take Chang'an, but also to give a warning to those heroes in Chang'an. They can wait and see, after all, their family has a big business, and they have a family member who is an official in Cao Wei, so they have a lot of concerns, and they are forced to be ruthless, but it is not beautiful, but Wei Ba can't let them have any idea of luck, otherwise Cao Zhen's army is outside, and these people are inside, and he will not be able to deal with it.

Sometimes it's necessary to show off your biceps.

There are also many benefits to taking Weiyang Palace, and the most important point is that he can watch the deployment of Jianzhang Palace up close. Jianzhang has a Jingganlou, you can condescendingly look at the situation near Chang'an, Weiyang Palace also has a tall building, although it may not be as tall as Jingganlou, but it is enough as a lookout.

Wei Ba set up his command platform at the east end of the compound road, and after breaking down the broken wood across the moat, he could step on the double road and walk on the west wall of Chang'an City, overlooking the deployment in the Jianzhang Palace. Xiahou Mao and those Guanzhong Haoqiang were all following him, being watched by the Wei family soldiers with cold eyebrows, they were silent one by one, and they didn't dare to make any actions that were easy to cause misunderstanding, for fear of being thrown directly into the moat, or finding some reason to kill them on the spot.

Wei Ba wore a helmet and armor, wore a big hat, and walked slowly on the city wall, and a group of people led by Xiahou Mao followed suit, although they were disdainful, they did not dare to show it. At their feet, the Shu Han army was carrying ballistas and thunderbolts onto the city wall, and the elite was taken away by Zhao Yun, leaving only more than 5,000 newly recruited recruits here, and the only ones who could really be regarded as fierce soldiers were more than 800 Wei family soldiers around Wei Ba.

It may not be good for recruits to fight hand-to-hand, but there is nothing wrong with operating these long-range strike weapons. First, these days, under Wei Ba's heavy reward, they practiced hard. They are no strangers to these new weapons, and secondly, across the wide moat, they are more than thirty paces away from the stubborn Cao Wei army in the Jianzhang Palace. Usually speaking, there are more than 100 steps, and no matter how elite Cao Wei's army is, there is no threat to them.

It took most of the day, twenty ballistas. Ten thunderbolts were installed, and corresponding weapons were also set up at the south, west and north gates of Jianzhang Palace. At swords' points. Waiting for the order to attack. In the Jianzhang Palace, the remaining Cao Wei army was also waiting for the start of the battle.

Wei Ba stood on the tower of the city gate and could see the figure on the tower of Jinggan.

"Dudu, is that Yan Fei?" Wei Ba glanced at Xiahou Mao.

Xiahou Mao was very embarrassed, he was no longer the governor of Guanzhong. It was Wei Ba's captive, and Wei Ba also called him the governor, which seemed to be a bit ironic. He listened harshly, but he didn't dare to refute, and squinted his eyes to look at the Jinggan Building in the distance. Jaw head said: "It should be him." ”

"How's this man's reputation?"

He ...... He's a good officer. ”

Wei Ba snorted, and then asked those Guan Zhonghao Qiang: "Is Yan Fei a good official?" ”

The Haoqiang looked at each other, not knowing how to answer him, and Xiao Nuo, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but pout when he saw their appearance. Xiao Nuo was originally a military marquis under Xiahou Mao, and he had a hundred and ten fine works under him, and after Xiahou Mao surrendered, he also surrendered. However, unlike Xiahou Mao and these Guanzhong Haoqiang present, he didn't have too many scruples, and his family was also in Chang'an, so he surrendered to Wei Ba very calmly and still did his old job. Wei Ba couldn't fully trust him yet, but in order to set an example for others, he specially took him with him and made him an entourage.

Seeing Xiao Nuo's disapproving appearance, Wei Ba laughed. "Deran (Xiao Nuo), you can talk about it."

Xiao Nuo glanced at Wei Ba in surprise, Wei Ba called him in front of so many big people, it was too much to give him face. He greeted him flatteredly, coughed, and said loudly: "Yan Fei has been a rare good official in the last few Jingzhao Taishou. ”

"yes, what's a good way?"

Xiao Nuo was originally a little worried, Yan Fei was now Wei Ba's enemy, and if he praised Yan Fei in front of Wei Ba, would it cause Wei Ba's disgust? Seeing that Wei Ba's face was gentle at this moment, and he didn't mean to be angry, he mustered up his courage and talked about Yan Fei's political achievements.

Guanzhong has been barren since the Ma Chao Rebellion, the people were frightened by the tragic situation of the year, many people fled to other places, even if they were left, they could not be satisfied with production, either into the mountains for a coward, or wandering for a living, not curing production. The previous Jingzhao Taishou of Yan Fei refused to work hard to govern, but only served as an official for one term, and then found a way to transfer to another place as an official. Only after Yan Fei took office, he made great efforts to govern, let the subordinate counties renovate the fields, plant mulberry fruits, and let the people cut down trees and build cars in their spare time, and those who did not have cattle raised pigs and dogs, and then sold pigs and dogs to buy cattle. In recent years, Chang'an has been able to recover, which can be said to be the credit of this Yan Fei Yan Taishou.

Speaking of this, Xiao Nuo glanced at Xiahou Mao, swallowed his saliva, and closed his mouth.

Wei Ba knew that Xiao Nuo and the others had no respect for Xiahou Mao, they used to be afraid of him because he was the governor of Guanzhong, but now he has become a prisoner, and he has no right to be powerful, so he can only be despised. Compared to Yan Fei, who has become an enemy and is still respected, Xiahou Mao is a piece of smelly.

It can be seen from this that the official reputation of the official cannot be seen when he is on the stage, even if the monuments of praise are everywhere, those glories are not worth a penny, except for deceiving the boss, it is impossible for the common people to take it seriously. Only after stepping down can we see what the real reputation is.

"So, he's really a good officer?" Wei Ba asked.

Xiahou stumbled for a moment, blushed, and nodded, "He is indeed a good official." ”

"According to Jianzhang Palace, it is also his idea to resolutely refuse to surrender, right?"

Xiahou Mao was taken aback, and his face suddenly turned pale.

Wei Ba smiled: "Dudu, it's really hard for you." According to the city, the princess may lose her life because of this, and if she doesn't defend it, she will lose Chang'an. Now you endure humiliation and surrender, save the princess's appointment, and let Yan Fei guard Jianzhang Palace, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. Governor, you are really wise. ”

Xiahou Mao sweated like rain, and his legs trembled.

Wei Ba ignored him and turned to look at Jingganlou in the distance. After a moment of silence, he said coldly: "Since he refuses to surrender, then I have no choice but to fulfill his loyalty." Come. Pass my order and start attacking, target: Jing Ganlou. ”

"Whoa." The flag soldier shouted yes and ran to the railing. Waving bunting.

Xiahou Mao didn't dare to move, but those heroes in Guanzhong involuntarily rushed to the railing and looked at the Jingganlou in the distance. Jingganlou is one hundred and fifty steps away. You can't shoot with an ordinary bow and arrow, what is Wei Ba trying to do? Did he want to use a thunderbolt to smash the well and dry the building? The range of the Thunderbolt is about 200 paces, and it is possible to hit it, but the question is that it is so far away, can he guarantee that it will hit accurately?

In the eyes of the heroes in Guanzhong, the ten thunderbolts on the city wall began to test fire under the command of the captain. With a roar, the gunner smashed open the iron pin, the heavy counterweight compartment sank down, and the long pole spun violently, throwing a stone projectile weighing about thirty pounds into the sky.

The stone bullet whizzed towards the Jinggan Building in the distance. It swept a foot to the right of the Jinggan Building and hit a building about 300 paces away. The stone bullet disappeared, the building shook violently, and with a loud bang, a large black hole suddenly appeared in the roof, and smoke and dust rose up, shrouding the top of the building, and also shrouded the hearts of the heroes in Guanzhong.

At a distance of three hundred paces, it can still have such power, even if the accuracy is a little worse, it is amazing enough. If ten, a hundred such thunderbolts are fired, then what castle will be spared?

Just when the hearts of the heroes in Guanzhong were pounding, the artillery crews of the city wall roared loudly, adjusted the direction of the thunderbolt, and once again fired stone bullets.

This time, the stone bomb was ready to hit the Jingganlou. The stone bomb sank into the shaft and left a large hole in the wall.

The gunners on the city wall cheered, the lieutenant gave the order, and the other nine thunderbolts also began to roar, and the heavy stone bullets continued to fly towards the Jingganlou, the first few rounds were still a little off, after three or four rounds, the order rate was as high as fifty percent.

Stone bombs smashed into the Jingganlou one after another, and under the continuous bombardment, the damage of the Jingganlou became bigger and bigger, and it gradually shook. Yan Fei, who was originally commanding from the Jinggan Tower, is gone, and no one can tell whether he was stoned to death or running away. It's just that every time he is hit, a big hole appears in the well building, and no one can guarantee that he will leave alive.

The scene of Jingganlou being hit hard not only fell in the eyes of the heroes in Guanzhong, but also in the eyes of those Cao Wei soldiers who stayed in Jianzhang Palace. They raised their heads and watched the stone bullets draw arcs in the air, flying towards the Jingganlou like a swarm of locusts, and the Jingganlou, which was still strong after three hundred years of wind and rain, dissolved like a pile of rotten wood under the bombardment of these stone bombs, slowly overturned, and Zuihou fell down with a bang, and couldn't help but change color in shock.

These Cao Wei soldiers who have fought for many years are no strangers to thunderbolts, and a few days ago they also saw the amazing scene of these thunderbolts smashing the road connecting Jianzhang Palace and Weiyang Palace, and they thought that they already knew something about the thunderbolts of the Shu Han army, but today's scene still shocked them. Compared with the last Thunderbolt, the Thunderbolt shown by the Shu Han Army today has a longer range and higher accuracy, and the collapse of the Jingganlou is the most direct proof.

The Cao Wei soldiers in the Jianzhang Palace were frightened, and the Guanzhong Haoqiang on the city tower was shocked, they looked at each other, and they all remembered Wei Ba's words. Wei Ba said at the time that he didn't actually want Xiahou Mao to surrender, because then he would have a chance to show them his strength. At that time, almost everyone thought that Wei Ba was talking big and wanted to scare them, but today, they witnessed all this with their own eyes, and who could say that Wei Ba just wanted to scare them?

He was not a threat, but a real warning. As he said, none of the Guanzhong Haoqiang present here could have such a solid wall as Jianzhang Palace, and none of them could withstand Wei Ba's attack. It was not a wise decision to provoke him.

Yesterday, I had to be stunned for a while, but Tang Sanzang sent a single chapter, and suddenly threw Lao Zhuang out of the way, and the power of this single chapter is really extraordinary. Lao Zhuang retracted the original words, and the addition seems to be less useful than a single chapter.

So far, today is 10 votes (including 1 vote for Lao Zhuang himself), and it seems that 20 votes is not impossible. Lao Zhuang was thinking, should he send a single chapter to ask for votes, or should he add more tickets to ask for votes? The power of a single chapter is really eye-catching. If the pressure is too great, Lao Zhuang has no choice but to add more chapters.

Shout with all your strength and ask for a monthly pass! (To be continued.) )
