Lu Lan's family knowledge is so profound that it is not comparable to an uneducated martial artist like Wei Ba, so he has always wanted to have a good debate with Wei Ba, so that Wei Ba will be exhausted and look at him differently. But it's a pity that Wei Ba never had the desire to compete with him in scriptures, every time Lu Lan opened his mouth, Wei Ba would simply and rudely interrupt him, making his breath that had been brewing for a long time suffocate his chest and suffocate internal injuries.

Countless facts have proved that the rhetoric of the two countries in the negotiations is only superficial, and if there is no corresponding strength to back it up, no matter what you say, you will not be able to achieve a real advantage, at best, it will only look better on the scene.

It's a pity that scholars like Lu Lan can't pay attention to such essence, they always hope to use gorgeous words to break their opponents and win. When encountering the same opponent, it is of course an inspiring and wonderful debate, but when encountering an opponent like Wei Ba who does not play cards according to common sense, all his thoughts are destined to be in vain.

After several contacts, Lu Xun had mastered Wei Ba's habits, and he was also a little dissatisfied with Lu Lan's extravagant expectations. He knew very well that Wei Ba had not yet achieved his goal of zuihou, and it was impossible for him to really turn around and leave, but he knew better that capturing Xiangyang was more important than debating. And in order to capture Xiangyang as soon as possible, seize the fighters, and reduce casualties, Wei Ba's mechanical jishu is indispensable.

Isn't the reason why Wei Ba is so rampant is because he holds sharp weapons? If Wu Jun can make these weapons, or if Xiangyang is dispensable, why should he suffer such a bad anger.

The throat is pinched in the hands of others, and you are still in the mood to be vindictive? Lu Xun was very dissatisfied with Lu Lan because of this. He snorted. interrupted Lu Lan and also stopped Wei Ba: "Wei joins the army, every time you say a word, there may be a few soldiers who die in vain, can you stop being so boring?" ”

Lu Lan saw Lu Xun's unhappiness and closed his mouth tightly, but Wei Ba shrugged disapprenously: "How can there be immortals in a war, when did the general become so soft-hearted?" ”

Lu Mingzhu, who had been tilting his head and refusing to face to face with Wei Ba, couldn't help it when he saw that Wei Ba was always casually arguing. Turned his face and glared at Wei Ba: "If Wei joined the army to ridicule us." The timing was wrong. Wei joined the army, on the battlefield, let's talk about some serious things. ”

Lu Xun hurriedly said: "Exactly, Wei joined the army." When will your tank battalion arrive? ”

Wei Ba glanced at the siege vehicles around Xiangyang City. Stretching out his hand, he said, "You give up the upper platform of each siege vehicle." I'll place crossbows and repeaters on them to cover your attacks. However, I have a word first. There are siege wagons on which our soldiers are guarded, and they are not allowed to come within a hundred paces of the city wall. We are only responsible for covering, not hand-to-hand combat. ”

Lu Xun nodded helplessly: "Then when will you arrive?" ”

"You get ready, and I'll tell them to go ashore right away."

Lu Xun was overjoyed, and immediately announced that Mingjin would withdraw his troops and withdraw the siege vehicles to a safe distance in preparation for the chariot battalion of the Shu army to participate in the battle. At the sound of an order, the chariot battalion, which had been prepared for a long time, entered the Wu camp in an orderly manner, and under the guidance of the generals of the Wu army, boarded the siege vehicle.

In order to suppress the Wei army at the head of Xiangyang City, the siege vehicles of the Wu army were built very tall, four or five zhang high. The Shu army's crossbow carts and 500-step crossbows are very heavy, and it is not an easy task to carry them up. However, Wei Ba had already prepared, and before that, he arranged for those soldiers to disassemble the crossbow and the crossbow into several large pieces, and lift them to the platform for installation. Each group is responsible for one piece, and each one cooperates tacitly, and the speed of assembly is not slow.

The Wu army did not hide it, they modified it right under the nose of the Wei army, and everything they did on the siege vehicle fell into the eyes of the Wei army. As soon as they saw the Shu army participating in the battle, and there were ordnance installed on the top of the siege vehicle, the Wei army at the head of the city suddenly became a little nervous.

Xiahouba is at the head of the city. He was originally in charge of the bow and crossbow positions on both sides of the pontoon bridge, but Wei Ba used armored building ships to forcibly clear the obstacles, and the Wei army's bow and crossbow array became chicken ribs, and it had no practical effect at all. After the pontoon bridge was broken by the Shu army, he could not retreat to the north bank of the Han River, so he had to retreat to Xiangyang City.

Xiangyang City now has nearly 10,000 guards, and in the face of 50,000 Wu troops, they don't have any worries at all. After many days of fierce fighting, Wu Jun did not take advantage of it at all, which is proof of this. At the head of the city, he could see the continuous camp of the emperor Bixia on the north bank of the Han River, and his heart was as stable as Mount Tai. They believed that since Emperor Bixia had arrived, the siege of Xiangyang would inevitably be resolved.

However, at this moment, seeing the chariot battalion of the Shu army entering the battle, Xiahou Ba was a little uneasy. Before the battle of the pontoon, he was very unimpressed with Wei Ba, but the scene of Wei Ba clearing the underwater obstacle made him deeply impressed, and he changed his opinion of Wei Ba from then on. He knew very well how strong those obstacles were, and they were deeply rooted in the bottom of the river, and dozens of strong men worked hard together, but they couldn't pull out a single bit, but the armored building ship of the Shu army effortlessly pulled up these obstacles one by one, as easily as pulling a handful of vegetables in the vegetable field.

It is an indisputable fact that Wei Ba's attainments in machinery surpass Ma Jun. The Shu army participated in the battle, and climbed to the top of the siege vehicle, and the number was not large, obviously not to climb the city, but to cover. This is exactly Wei Ba's strength, how can Xiahou Ba not be nervous.

"Command the whole city, watch out for the siege vehicles of the Wu army." Xiahou Ba immediately asked people to inform the other generals and tell them to be careful. He thought about it, but he was still a little uneasy, and immediately arranged for people to go out of the city and inform Emperor Cao Rui of the news of the Shu army's participation in the war, and he faintly felt that the battle situation might be about to undergo an important reversal.

Xiahou Ba's arrangement at the head of the city attracted Wei Ba's attention. Wei Ba walked to Lu Xun's side and pointed to the battle flag on the head of the city: "General Lu, is that Xiahou Ba?" ”

Lu Xun glanced at it and nodded: "Yes, it's Xiahouba." This man is fierce and aggressive, and at the beginning of the battle, he has never left the city, and he has the style of his father. ”

Wei Ba looked at Lu Xun in surprise, he could tell from Lu Xun's tone that Lu Xun was very disapproving of Xiahou Yuan. But when I think about it, I understand. Lu Xun has always been serious in his use of troops, saying that he will attack with defense for a long time, and strike at the rear, while Xiahou Yuan often uses troops to take risks, and crush the enemy with lightning and sudden attacks. Their tactics of using soldiers are very different, and of course they will not sympathize with each other. Of course, Lu Xun may have other meanings, because his Wei Ba is similar to Xiahou Yuan's use of soldiers, and he also likes to take risks and does not fall into Lu Xun's eyes.

Wei Ba was not in the mood to quarrel with Lu Xun, so he immediately called Wang Hui, the commander of the chariot battalion. Wang Hui turned out to be just a junior chief, who was promoted to the rank of captain in Danshui after sinking Sima Shi's building ship, and has been promoted to the rank of lieutenant in the chariot battalion in the last few battles, commanding sixty crossbows and ten five-hundred-step crossbows.

"Great sacrificial wine, what are your commands?" Wang Hui wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked with his face tilted.

Wei Ba leaned down from the command platform and pointed to Xiahou Ba on the city wall in the distance: "Captain Wang, have you seen that battle flag at the head of the city?" ”

Wang Hui glanced at it and nodded vigorously: "I saw it." Does the Great Sacrificial Wine mean to shoot him? ”

Wei Ba smiled: "Of course, it's good to be able to shoot, if you can't shoot, you have to beat him so that he can't command with peace of mind." ”

Wang Hui haha smiled: "Don't worry, I will definitely complete the task, as long as he dares to show his head, I will shoot him into a kebab." With that, he went off in a hurry.

Lu Xun heard it clearly on the stage, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Wei joins the army, why does he call you the big sacrificial wine?" ”

Wei Ba smiled hesitantly, and said a little smugly: "He is a believer in the Heavenly Master Dao, and I am the Heavenly Master Dao Guan Zhongzhi's head sacrifice wine, if he doesn't call me the Great Sacrifice Wine, what can he call me?" ”

Lu Mingzhu was very surprised: "You really know Taoism?" ”

"Of course." Wei Ba smiled incomprehensibly: "Although I don't read much, I know a little about the three ways of heaven and man, if the girl is interested, you might as well find a time to learn." ”

Lu Mingzhu saw that Wei Ba said lightly, so he snorted angrily and turned his face away. When Lu Xun saw it, he couldn't help but sigh lightly and patted Wei Ba's shoulder: "Wei Ziyu, since you want to make a career, why are you so pretending?" If a gentleman is not heavy, he is not prestigious, Prime Minister Zhuge is a person who is polite and respectful. ”

Wei Ba sneered: "I heard that King Wu is not a serious person, could it be that the majesty of the general is even more than that of King Wu?" ”

Lu Xun was speechless for a moment. Wei Ba can be unscrupulous, but he doesn't dare to joke with Sun Quan, so he can only pretend not to hear it and observe the battlefield situation seriously.

After about an hour, the chariot battalion was settled, and the siege engines were again pushed towards the city walls. The war drums sounded, and the Wu army attacked again, and the Wei army at the head of the city immediately reacted, and the crossbowmen rushed to the side of the city wall, ready to counterattack. Several of the city's crossbows mounted on the corner towers also reoriented, aiming at the nearest siege engine.

Wang Hui stared at Xiahou Ba at the head of the city, and shouted: "Fan Yue, you don't have to care about anything else, just take care of Xiahou Ba for me, do you hear?" ”

Special archer Fan Yue crouched on the five-hundred-step crossbow, his fierce gaze passed through Wangshan, tightly locked on Xiahou Ba, and when he heard Wang Hui's order, he stretched out his right hand, waved it lightly, and made a gesture that satisfied you, and then pulled the crossbow machine.

"Whoosh!" A huge arrow pierced the sky and rushed towards Xiahou Ba at the head of the city, kicking off the frenzy of attack.

Xiahou Ba at the head of the city was observing the position of the Wu army, and suddenly felt a palpitation, he looked up, and caught a glimpse of a thick black shadow speeding towards him. It was not a round stone projectile, nor an elongated arrow, but a spear, a foot soldier commonly used by foot soldiers.

Who can throw a spear far? Xiahou Ba was stunned, and the spear-like giant arrow had been killed, and it was only two steps away from Xiahou Ba. The sharp spearhead flew past the battlements, crumbling a large piece of rammed earth, and the huge arrow continued to smash a huge shield, killing the soldiers behind the shield with one arrow. The spearhead pierced through the soldier's body, revealing his back, blood splattering.

The soldier spat blood, and was unsteady on his feet by the force of the arrow, and took a few steps back, climbed over the wall, and fell until his screams were interrupted by a muffled sound.

Xiahou Ba and the others were dumbfounded. (To be continued......)
