Chapter 366: Heavenly Fire Meteor, Young Lin's First Battle
Hanjia.
Taishou Huang Yuan was not on good terms with Zhuge Liang on the surface, but in fact he was disdainful of Zhibaiqian.
In the past, there was no so-called currency in Shuzhong, which made these county guards profitable.
Especially in the era of price disorder, the people fell, and the profiteers were fed.
Huang Yuan is one of the vested interests, who knows that since Liu Bei took charge of Yizhou, he soon sold Zhibai coins.
I thought that Liu Bei wanted to harvest the people, and he was a fellow believer.
Who knew that Zhibai Qian has become the official currency, and it is a weapon to stabilize prices.
This makes Huang Yuan and others no longer have the power to set prices arbitrarily.
The people seemed to have paid five baht of copper, but in exchange for only one baht of copper, they got a straight hundred coins.
However, the purchasing power has increased greatly, unlike in the past, when profiteers opened their mouths and prices rose casually.
Huang Yuan, Yonghong and others found out that they had been deceived by Liu Bei!
This imperial uncle, who is also a member of the Han family, is not here to harvest the people, but to benefit the people and weaken them!
Huang Yuan repeatedly impeached Zhuge Liang, and the spearhead was pointed at Zhibaiqian.
Although he knew that the initiator of Zhibaiqian was Liu Mang, Huang Yuan did not dare to impeach, and could only target the benevolent elder Zhuge Liang.
How could Liu Mang not know the other party's little ninety-nine?
Therefore, the first target is Huang Yuan!
Fortunately, Huang Yuan was not popular with the people, and most of the people of Hanjia had already moved away to participate in the return of the people to Hanzhong.
This can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, allowing Liu Mang to let go of his hands and feet.
Ma Jun's Ordnance Bureau has been transferred to Chengdu by Liu Mang, which is more convenient for the Mo family's skilled craftsmen to do their best.
Of course, Jingzhou's Ordnance Bureau is still maintained.
"Childe, this is a stone cart."
Ma Jun smiled: "Of course, it is stronger than Liu Ye's!" ”
Liu Mang nodded and smiled: "The battle of Ruocheng was not useful back then, but now it can make Deheng show his strength!" ”
Ma Jun laughed: "If it weren't for Gongzi's appreciation of our Mo family brothers, maybe we would still be traveling around and living a life of displacement." ”
Liu Mang looked at Han Jia, then stepped forward and shouted, "Huang Yuan! My father treated you well, so that you still guard Hanjia, why rebel? ”
Huang Yuan gritted his teeth and scolded: "Liu Mang! Your father and son won't give me a way to live at all! ”
"Unless you abolish the Zhibai Money, I will agree to surrender!"
Hearing this, a trace of killing intent flashed in Liu Mang's eyes.
Sure enough, if you don't see the coffin, you don't cry!
"I'll count to three, and you'll have a chance to think about it."
Liu Mang looked at Huang Yuan indifferently, and the latter was also taken aback, obviously shocked by Liu Mang.
"Three!"
Liu Mang directly ordered: "Ma Jun, give me the siege!" ”
Seeing the stone cart pushed by the Han army, Huang Yuan sneered and ordered his soldiers to hang wet cowhide on the city wall to block the stone cart.
It's just that he's too underestimated!
This is a wheeled stone truck modified by Ma Jun!
Originally, Liu Ye's stone cart was eye-catching enough in the Battle of Guandu.
But you have a plan, I have a bridge and a ladder.
It was discovered that wet cowhide was a good way to protect the walls.
In particular, single-shot stone carts need to be filled for a long time.
Huang Yuan's thinking is not wrong, the mistake is to despise Ma Jun!
Rumble! Rumble!
The boulders continue to blast into the city, but they are faster to reload, more powerful, and have a longer range than ordinary stone carts!
Huang Yuan wanted to order the soldiers defending the city to burn the stone cart with fire arrows, but in the end he found that the distance was too far!
As for the cowhide hanging on the city wall, it was not effective in preventing the siege, and could only be used to blow.
"Senior brother, what a powerful stone cart!"
"Remember, science and technology are the primary productive forces!"
Liu Mang touched Jiang Wei's forehead and said with a smile: "You have to use material resources in the war!" ”
The stone bullets thrown by the catapult are like flying fire meteors, constantly attacking the city.
The defenders under Huang Yuan's command were smashed one by one, and the entire city seemed to be trembling!
"Liu Mang! If you have the ability, don't use these crooked ways to confront me head-on! ”
Huang Yuan roared loudly, originally Liu Mang, as the besieger, should have suffered a huge loss!
Now it seems that he, the defender of the city, has been beaten to the point of being powerless!
It's not scientific!
"The Art of War", that's not what you say!
Obviously, the defenders of the city have an advantage!
"Huang Yuan, you don't need your brain, you can donate it to those in need."
"I can take the rest of my life and conquer the city without a single soldier, so why should I sacrifice the lives of my brothers?"
"Everyone, you all heard it just now, Huang Yuan actually encouraged me to send you to attack the city!"
Liu Mang shouted: "Intensify your efforts and hammer this bastard for me!" ”
The momentum of the Han army was like a rainbow, constantly filling with stone bullets, and instantly smashed the city wall to tatters!
As long as the firing continues, sooner or later the walls will collapse with a bang.
It's just that everyone didn't expect that Liu Mang actually ordered to stop the attack.
"Senior brother, why did you stop attacking the city when you were about to break the city?"
Jiang Wei's face was full of puzzlement, and Zhuge Liang smiled: "Don't stop returning to the teacher, don't besiege the teacher, and don't force the poor." ”
"Do not block the enemy troops who have retreated back to the country, leave a gap for the encircled enemy troops to escape, and do not push the enemy troops who are on the verge of desperation too much."
"Considering the psychological state of not being afraid of the enemy's army, if it is not going anywhere, if it is not going, if it is deep, it will be detained, and if it is necessary, it will fight."
"Where the way of siege and warfare must be opened, in order to show the way of life, so that the enemy is not strong, then the city can be pulled out, and the army can be broken!"
Jiang Wei was thoughtful, and Zhuge Liang's explanation was very thorough, which made him feel enlightened.
"Do you understand what the teacher is saying? So Huang Yuan will escape! ”
Liu Mang looked at the city firmly, Huang Yuan was already a turtle in the urn.
It's night.
The city was in flames, and Huang Yuan actually chose to burn the city to block the footsteps of the Han army.
"Childe, Huang Yuan burned the city, and even a large army fled to the northeast! A small number of people went up the river! ”
Ma Dai came to report, and Liu Mang looked at Jiang Wei with a smile: "Tell me, where do you think Huang Yuan will go?" ”
Jiang Wei thought a little at this time, and said calmly: "Senior brother, I think the large army in the northeast direction is more like Huang Yuan's suspicious strategy!" ”
"This man has only two paths! One of them is to go south to join the rebels in Nanzhong! The second is to flee along the river and go to Dongwu! ”
"In my opinion, Huang Yuan must want to flee to Soochow!"
Liu Mang and Zhuge Liang cast approving glances at Jiang Wei one after another.
Draw inferences from one another, there will be no talent fault in Dahan!
"Good! I'll leave this battle to you to command, can you have confidence? ”
When Jiang Wei heard this, he couldn't believe it, now he is only fourteen years old, but he was entrusted with a heavy task by Liu Mang!
"What? Don't dare to act? ”
"Dare! Thank you for your cultivation! ”
Liu Mang smiled and summoned the generals, and then pointed to Jiang Wei.
"This is my junior brother, and this battle is under his command!"
"His command is mine!"
"The generals should listen to the order, and they must not disobey it!"
Liu Mang has a prestige in the army, and the generals immediately clasped their fists and said: "I am willing to listen to the arrangement of the prince!" ”
