Sun Quan once doubted the feasibility of Wei Ba's more than 1,000 thunderbolts launched together, mainly for two reasons: first, so many thunderbolts could not be placed on a limited position, and the thunderbolts behind were too far away from the city wall, which might exceed the range and could not hit the city wall at all; The second is that so many thunderbolts need a large number of stone bullets, and there is no time to supply.

It turned out that Sun Quan's worries were unnecessary, and Wei Ba solved these two problems very well, but there was only one way, that is, to replace the solid stone bullets with hollow clay pots. The clay pot is lighter and can be thrown farther, easily thrown into Wancheng from four or five hundred steps away, but the ignition inside can play a role in incineration, burning the protective measures prepared by the Wei army.

One problem that Sun Quan did not anticipate was that a hundred thunderbolts were launched in one day and one hour compared to a thousand thunderbolts, and the number of stone projectiles fired seemed to be similar, but the effect was absolutely different. The spectacular scene when a thousand thunderbolts were launched at the same time, and the striking power was far from being comparable to that of a hundred thunderbolts.

Quantitative change causes qualitative change, and when the quantity exceeds a certain scale, the effect may be completely two concepts. When Wei Ba gave the order to launch, and more than a thousand thunderbolts began to roar, the scene was absolutely thrilling, making anyone present unforgettable.

Stone bullets and clay pots poured like hail on the city, and the Wei army was dizzy, and they were so frightened that no one was surprised that after those clay pots were broken, they suddenly burst into flames. They were completely stunned, they had not seen such a scene since the battle, and the stone bullets were like hurricanes. Swept through the Wei position, leaving a mess behind.

The shields were smashed to pieces, the armor was beaten to unevenness, the war supplies prepared on the city walls were smashed to pieces, and the soldiers were beaten to the point that their heads were broken and bleeding, their bones were broken, and their blood flowed freely.

Except for the thick city walls, everything else was wiped out by the heavy onslaught of stone bullets.

There is not a single intact shield, not a single intact person. There are not even living people. Someone was able to escape the stone bullets, and after all the cover was destroyed, they could not face the dense rain of arrows.

The walls were in shambles, and arrows were everywhere. Stone bullets everywhere. There was fire everywhere. Broken pottery shards everywhere. The flames ignited the arrow feathers, ignited the hot oil used to defend the city, and ignited anything that could burn. The air was filled with the smell of choking smoke.

The southwest corner of Wancheng has become a sea of fire, and in the crackling fire, intermittent moans can be heard.

The Wei reinforcements rushed over, but they were stopped by the dense rain of arrows and bullets, and one by one the stone bullets roared and hit the dust, and one by one the clay pots fell in the crowd and cracked into pieces, and then the green smoke curled and sparks appeared. Accompanied by the green smoke wafting everywhere, a spicy smell enveloped the Wei soldiers, making them snot and cough, and their eyes were blurry, and it was a problem to even look at the road, let alone defend.

The formation was chaotic, and the arrows took advantage of the gap to enter, killing a large number of people. The Wei army, which had entered the range of the Shu Han army, was met head-on, and they had not even seen the enemy's face.

The Wei army was in a panic, looking for hidden places to hide, unable to get close to Xijiaonan to support, and could only watch their companions tossing and moaning in the ruins.

In just half an hour, Wei Ba destroyed the defense of Wancheng, and there were few Wei soldiers still alive in the southwest corner of Wancheng, and they either died or fled. Even the two most heavily guarded gates were no exception.

Wancheng opened its doors to the Shu Han army.

Li Yan was surprised and delighted. He knew his estimate was too pessimistic. When Wei Ba first told him about this tactic, he only estimated that this tactic might have unexpected effects, but he didn't expect it to be so good.

He knew that his promise to the generals to conquer Wancheng within four days was not only not a heroic empty word, but a very conservative prophecy. He originally estimated that it would take Wei Ba at least half a day to destroy Wancheng's defenses, but now, his order to attack was still in his ears, and Wei Ba had completed the task.

Li Yan knew that from now on, there would be a major change in the tactics of siege, and this fierce and furious concentrated shooting would open a new chapter in the history of siege. And he is the commander and winner of this battle.

Li Yan's voice trembled slightly, and it took him a lot of effort before he raised his hand and pointed forward: "Order, extend the shot, Meng Da's department is ready to attack!" ”

The heralds rushed out and delivered Li Yan's orders to Wei Ba and Meng Da.

Soon, Wei Ba gave the order, and the thunderbolt and crossbow carts advanced towards the city wall and fired into the depths of Wancheng to clear the way for the besieging troops.

Meng Da issued an order to siege the city, and Deng Xian, Li Fu and others pushed a cart wrapped in raw cowhide and quickly approached the city wall. There was a dead silence at the head of the city, not even a single Wei army stood up and shot an arrow, and the Shu Han army easily rushed through the moat of Haode, pushed the siege cart under the city wall, and climbed up to Wancheng. They met little resistance, and the only thing that caused them was the stone bullets, pottery shards, and fire that were everywhere.

The two gates were opened, and Meng Da led his troops into the city, attacking the second wall set up by the Wei army in the city. After they entered the city, they did not immediately attack, but took a position, put on a defensive jiashi, and began to clear the position. In order to build the second city wall, Sima Yi has demolished a lot of houses and cleared out a large area, and Meng Da only needs to tidy up these places again.

Meng Da was in a very good mood, he looked at the Wei army on the city wall, and looked at Sima Yi and hahadaxiao surrounded by the guards.

Sima Yi at the head of the city was pale, he had never underestimated Wei Ba, but he found that his estimation was still seriously insufficient. In less than half an hour, the Shu Han army broke through Wancheng, and this result was beyond his expectations.

In fact, except for Wei Ba, this result was beyond everyone's expectations, and Sun Quan was just as surprised as Sima Yi.

Sun Quan sat in the camp, holding a book in his hand, secretly sad. As the king of Wu, he has no reason to stand up for Li Yan, and he has already handed over the few remaining elites to Zhao Tong's command, and there are only 3,000 soldiers left around him, and there is no point in participating in the war, so it is better to stay aside and wait for news. had nothing to do, and in order to show that he was very calm, he found a book to read, but he didn't expect it to be okay not to read it, but it aroused sadness when he saw it.

This book is from Jiaozhou, and it is also written about the barbarian customs south of Jiaozhou, and the author is Xue Zong, who was an official in Wu State.

Xue Zong is a disciple of Liu Xi, avoiding chaos and Jiaozhou, and relying on Shixie. When Lu Dai was leveling Jiaozhou, Xue Zong accompanied the army and was very interested in the Jiaozhou area. Later, he was shot by the servants. After Wei Ba seized Jiaozhou and took Liu Xi as the main sacrifice of Jiaozhou Academy, Xue Zong quickly resigned and left, and Sun Quan never heard from him again.

Unexpectedly, Xue Zong actually traveled in Jiaozhou and wrote this book. This aroused Sun Quan's heart, and he was sad for a while.

Just when he was uncomfortable, Hu Zong hurriedly walked into the big tent.

"King, the Shu Han army has entered the city."

Sun Quan didn't think about it for a while, thinking that Hu Zong was saying that the Shu Han army was attacking the city, so he responded casually: "Yes, the progress is quite fast." Before the words fell, he realized what Hu Zong said: "Entered the city?" ”

Hu Zong nodded, and gasped twice with his mouth open. He ran here from the earthen platform where he watched the formation in one go, panting.

"How is that possible?" Sun Quan jumped up suddenly, his eyes swept the leaky pot in the corner of the tent, and then looked at the book on the case, the pontoon bridge of the leaky pot had just moved a little, and the book had only read a few pages, why did the Shu Han army enter the city?

"It's really in town." Hu Zong swallowed his saliva and stammered a little: "King, more than a thousand thunderbolts fired in a salvo, it's terrifying." The Wei army did not have any power to fight back at all, and was directly defeated. ”

Hu Zong said, shaking his head involuntarily. He himself couldn't believe what had just happened.

Sun Quan gasped, and after a while, he pushed Hu Zong away and rushed out of the big tent. As soon as he came out of the big tent, he saw half of the sky blackened by smoke, looked at the Shu Han battle flag fluttering at the head of the city, and looked at the soldiers of the Shu Han army cheering at the head of the city, he was dumbfounded, and his hands and feet were cold.

This was so surprising that Sun Quan felt that his mind was blank, and he rubbed his eyes several times in succession, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

……

Li Yan and Meng Da were not idle, Li Yan arranged a large army outside the city, Meng Da commanded his subordinates in the city to rush in Wancheng like a tide, quickly repelled the Wei army that came to counterattack, opened more city gates, Ma Yan, Chen Dao, Deng Zhi and others led the army into the city.

While the Wei army was devastated by the stone bullets, clay pots and arrows that fell from the sky, the Shu Han army was like a rainbow. Feng Jin, Zhang Wei and others now completely believe Li Yan's words: With General Zhennan as a cover for us, what enemy can we not defeat? The opportunity to make meritorious contributions is in front of you, and it is up to you whether you can seize the opportunity and become famous in a fight. Therefore, as soon as the city gate was opened, the various departments rushed in as fast as possible, and according to the pre-arranged haode mission, like a tiger descending the mountain, killing the enemy in the target war zone.

Maybe not everyone dares to expect to become famous in a fight, but if you don't take the opportunity to kill a few more enemies, you're really sorry for yourself. The order of entering the city is to set haode, then it depends on who attacks faster, who advances more fiercely, and who has more heads after entering the city.

The generals of the Shu Han army were like wolves and tigers, urging their subordinates to move forward bravely.

Although the ordinary soldiers are not as excited as the generals, everyone can fight with the wind, and they are all willing to fight. Inspired by the sudden victory, and under the encouragement or threat of the generals' renovations, it was impossible for every Shu Han sergeant to think calmly, they only knew forward, forward, and forward.

In the face of the ferocious attack of the Shu Han army, the demoralized Wei army could not resist at all, and retreated one after another, soon losing the southern city of Wancheng and retreating to the defense line temporarily built by Sima Yi
