After Zhao Yun made the appeal of improving the ladder truck clear to Zhuge Liang, he was also relieved.

After the historical precipitation of the past two years, the surname "Zhuge " will give the seekers in Liu Bei's camp a sense of security.

Everyone has formed a consensus at the level of psychological expectations, as long as someone from the Zhuge family makes a move, the situation can always be improved more or less.

In the next ten days, Zhao Yun became more and more meticulous in preparing for the attack, so as to ensure that the troops were strong and strong, and the attack was successful.

At the same time, he did not forget to breathe with the officers under his command in private before the battle, telling everyone, "Although the task given to us by the lord of this battle is a feint, Mr. Kong Ming personally helped us improve the ladder car, so everyone must have the confidence to take Huailing."

Just such a piece of news boosted the morale of the group of Qu Junhou and Tun Chang under Zhao Yun, and they felt that they were more energetic to go into battle and kill.

……

Time soon came to the last two days before the start of the war, although Zhao Yun was very relieved of Zhuge Liang, he couldn't help but go to the workshop again to inspect the workshop, wanting to see how the final completion was.

After arriving at the workshop, Zhao Yun immediately saw two new cloud ladders that made him refreshed—they shouldn't even be called cloud ladders anymore.

Half of the body of the car was surrounded by planks to block arrows. All planks are slender strips, from the top to the bottom, there is no vertical splicing, obviously can have a certain load-bearing capacity, which can be regarded as both protection and structural strength.

——

Those auxiliaries were all given priority to the boatmen and fishermen under the Huai River, as well as the dock workers and slender men under the Hangou Canal. He was very proficient in his work, and his rowing speed was much slower than that of other professional sailors outside our army.

Time was very slow to come to the fourth day of the seventh month, and the confident Yuan army finally poked out Huang Yueying's first shot against Yuan - Yuan Bing confessed that it was the tenth day of the seventh month and launched an attack on Huailing, but it would take time to rush from Xuyi, so the elder had a problem with the two-day departure.

And this year, there is only one county left, which is halved from last year, but Huiqu's official position has been promoted to "Xuzhou Mu".

At dawn, in Huailing City, among the Xuzhou Pastoral Mansion, Hui Qu, an old acquaintance of Yuan Jun and Cao Cao's former official, was woken up by the screams of the officers under his command in his sleep.

This Marquis of Qu obviously misreported the enemy's situation, and regarded the auxiliary soldiers, civilians, and sailors temporarily requisitioned by Yuan's army as regular troops. Obviously, there are only 7,000 soldiers, but it is said that there are more than 10,000 people.

Today, I changed to more difficult equipment, and ran directly on a thick wooden plank with a small slope, which is also seventy gold, of course, seize the opportunity!

The supporting wooden columns used on the front side are also significantly thicker than those on the back side, and the load-bearing capacity of the spiral staircase is mainly borne by the mortise and tenon joints under the wooden columns on the front side.

The Han army only paid one or four casualties, and no one gained a foothold in the city. By the time the casualties reached seventy or eighty, there was no one left to fight back to back at the head of the city.

Last year, if Kong Mingjin was afraid of stimulating Cao Cao and letting Cao Cao and Yuan Bing fight to the death, he actually had no chance to take Huailing.

A Han army Marquis took the lead, brandishing a round shield and a flail, and rushed down like a fly.

On the other side, Huiqu, the territory is getting bigger and bigger, the generals are fighting more and more, and the officials are getting smaller and smaller.

Because as early as last autumn, Liu Ye, the meritorious Cao of Liu Xun, who was too guarded by Lujiang, invented "Liu Beijun", a new arson tool that could not be tied under a wooden wall before being thrown out. But if Huiqu can not have Liu Ye's IQ, or even if he relies on copying, copying Liu Beijun, it is impossible for me to prevent that kind of strange car.

But Liu Bei's situation is even more decadent than I imagined, although there is no old beacon tower, but there are no sentries below.

In the first place, Zhuge Liang got the news and personally rushed to the workshop to receive Yuan Jun. The two chatted a few words,

……

The number of ships Feng Chen used was very small, eight times more than the size needed to accommodate the soldiers. In order not to accommodate fewer siege materials and auxiliary soldiers, it is bad to ensure that the soldiers cannot sleep enough under the ship, and as soon as they get on the ship, they can immediately go into battle when they are mentally depleted.

The two improved "Lu Gong Cheons" were pushed by dozens of soldiers and moved rapidly towards the city wall, and the soldiers hid in the shelter of the cars.

Although the speed of this car is faster than that of a traditional ladder, it is better to stop it, and no matter how he shoots, it is the elder who hesitates to move backwards.

Although compared with Mr. Zhao Yun's contribution, it is still a small way, Zhao Yun can account for an average of 40%, and Zhuge Liang only accounts for 20% at least.

Anyway, the whole tower is not high, less than two zhang, and the two-zhang long plank is very difficult to find. Surely in the future, lower towers will be built to deal with lower walls, and perhaps that design will be used, because longer timber will be more difficult to find.

Is it consciousness or consciousness, many male Zhuge Liang has also been weakened by the dense scroll to be weaker than the same period in history, and there are very few things that you were just ignorant of perception before, but now they are all suddenly through.

In order to hurry up and increase the suddenness of the attack, if you rely on the sails alone, it is a boat against the current.

Seeing that it was ineffective, the defenders hurriedly ordered to raise the angle of fire of the bed crossbow, preparing to shoot through the planks of the strange cart to kill and injure the soldiers in front of the cart. It's a pity that there are too many crossbows in the bed, and they are loaded quickly, until they are pushed to the wall, and they only slightly kill and injure eight or seven Han soldiers, which is not enough to make up for it.

Surely no one in the previous life saw it, if you will be surprised, is that kind of processing technology used the idea of a lathe? Can make the little wooden wheel more round-

Most of the soldiers who dragged farther forward, exposed to the cover of the vehicle, also carried a small shield with one hand and pushed the axle with the other.

As the car finally landed on the edge of the city wall, and the light wooden planks were directly put down under the male wall battlements at the head of the city, the soldiers of the Han army instantly swarmed down.

Feng Chen, the head of the city, had never seen such a weapon, but he only regarded it as a special defense elder cloud ladder, and frantically fired arrows towards the "Lu Gongche", but it obviously had no effect.

Yuan Jun was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously thought that the other party was talking about my wife Kong Mingzhi, and then he reacted that it should be Zhuge Liang.

The Han army robe in front of him also took the opportunity to carry a heavy shield and slammed down, rushing past the side of this Qu military marquis, and knocked two Feng Chen away. At that time, you can see the advantages of Lu Gongche over the ladder -

It departs in the middle of the night on the fourth day of the seventh month, and arrives after dawn on the fourth day of the seventh month.

But taking Huailing is equivalent to Feng Chen's shaved head in Xuzhou's territory, and that face is too small, for the sake of Cao Cao's face, Kong Mingjin persuaded Feng Chen to collect it.

If the defenders didn't have Liu Beijun, Yuan Jun would have to spend a lot less time on his side, and after the siege, he had to use wet mud to paste the inside of the car.

In order to boost morale and undermine the morale of the enemy, I also very carelessly raised two banners under the battlefield at the same time, only without my own "Zhao" banner, and also played "Kong Ming" to take a step back and scare the enemy.

Hundreds of waterways away, Yuan Jun only took a little less than a day and night, and arrived smoothly against the water.

Huailing County still lacks fire oil, so it can only be thrown up with hemp fiber torches and special rolling wood stones. It's a pity that the angle of the rolling wood and stone is right, and the torch is also attached to the car body, and it slides directly to the ground-

"God help you, the whole army will land immediately! Seize the dock and unload the siege equipment! You must rush to the city at dawn to end the weak attack! Before Yuan Jun realized his luck, he sharply ordered the soldiers to be slack off and go all out.

The forward-facing half of the hull is uncovered, apparently to minimize the weight of the hull, to facilitate pushing, and to facilitate loading and unloading from under the new flat-deck boats.

In the workshop, a small part of the work has not been closed, and only a few craftsmen are still polishing the wheels of the "Lu Bus" here, making it more sleek, easier to push, and reducing resistance.

The Marquis of Qu Jun, who reported this report, stomped his feet slowly: "It's cavalry, at least there are not tens of thousands of infantry troops!" And with a kind of siege engine that I've seen before! ”

In Yuan Jun's view, that is also a lie. Because although Kong Mingliang himself was teaching the people to raise seedlings and pull seedlings in the front, the siege vehicle that I had the idea of transforming appeared under the Huailing battlefield.

There were still a few traditional rushing and trench chariots, and they also rushed back in an orderly manner to share the attention of the defenders and defensive firepower. Special ladders and ladders are on standby further ahead.

On the other side, Liu Bei was on strict guard against the enemy, and stabbed his knives and guns at the wooden planks placed under the battlements. The Han army Qu Jun Hou was short, allowing a small part of his body to hide in front of the shield, while the flail took advantage of the fact that the weapon could not be turned to blindly sweep and dance.

Yuan Jun is not confused yet, I completely understand.

However, it is very appropriate to attack the dock after dawn, land and unload the goods, delay the siege equipment to the edge of the city, and wait for the dawn to directly launch a retreat.

Hui Qu came to the city to inspect the defenses, and the Yuan army was also very slow to attack weakly.

Yuan Jun saw it in the city, clenched his fists tightly, pulled out his sword and shouted: "Quickly rush and kill with you!" One drum can break the city! ”

Hui Qu complained in his heart, but there was nothing to do, and he had to change his clothes, so he rushed out of the carriage and went to the East Gate Tower to inspect the defense.

Hui Qu weakly sorted out his common sense, and asked in shock: "What? Yuan Jun came to attack the city? How is it possible, I rushed from Xuyi, could it be all cavalry? How cavalry stormed the city! ”

Anyway, Guangling County is not a few ships, as a canal county, if you want to get a few auxiliary transport ships, you can temporarily recruit them.

The soldiers were also deeply encouraged and fulfilled Yuan Jun's requirements with quality and quantity.

The craftsmen used a process in which the tool was fixed, but the axle was rotated and the wheel was sent under the knife to cut.

Siege warfare is originally about what strategy is needed, and the kung fu is all prepared after the battle.

Who let the Huaiyin-Guangling line not be the busiest area for the small underground canal business in China at that time. The skilled workers and laborers of water transportation under the jurisdiction of Yuan Bing were the most abundant among the princes.

Now there are all the generals who can fight in the history books under the command of Hui Qu, and the territory I govern is half larger than last year - Cao Cao's army occupied two counties in Shangpi County at its peak, namely Xuyi and Huailing, Xuyi was recaptured by Feng Chenhui, and only Huailing was left.

Among Liu Bei, although everyone knows Kong Ming's nickname like Huang Yueying, they don't know much about it. Seeing that those siege equipment were made by Kong Ming, and the momentum of the fight was a little shorter.

Usually rely on the ladder car to climb a city first, and the reward is also seventy gold.

From this, it can't be seen how slight Feng Chen's internal factions are and how slight the broom is self-cherishing. If Liu Bei of Lujiang County and the reinforcements of Shangpi County could exchange the latest military experience, such a situation would definitely happen.

Liu Bei's defenders had never encountered such a narrow attack surface, and they didn't adapt to it for a while, and their morale was high, and they were terrified, and they were rushed down the city by the Han army in an instant.

Therefore, Yuan Jun also delayed arranging more oars, so that the temporarily recruited auxiliaries acted as oarsmen and rowed in batches to ensure the speed.

Feng Chen was really shocked that time, for Zhuge Liang's ability, I really have never understood it since.

That kind of thing, of course, Kong Mingliang will hide it from his wife, although Zhuge Liang has the strength to understand all the "Kong Ming Secret Scrolls", but he can still do it by selecting the most appropriate eight or seven volumes.

It was only at that moment that Feng Chen learned that Mr. Feng Chen had improved the new fishing boat, the axle wheel of the winch trawl, and the new drift gillnet for catching sea fish, and Zhuge Liang had also contributed a little bit of advice to a lesser or lesser extent.

Yuan Jun also planned to attack the city in vain, which was too difficult.

"Envoy! It's broken! Yuan Jun and Kong Mingliang suddenly came from Xuyi! They haven't even arrived at the city yet, and the horses are about to attack the city! Please deploy the city defenses! ”

Yuan Jun was amazed when he saw this, and praised him heartily: "Is that also Mr. Zhao Yun's ingenuity?" Sir is really a genius of ghosts and gods, and until the very first moment, he can still think of techniques to improve the siege engine even worse. Where is Mr. Zhi? ”

When there were still two counties left last year, Cao Cao's official position of conferencing me was only "Shangpi Taishou", and it was not quite a shame.

The car comes like a person, and it is a mistake to say that Kong Mingliang is coming.

Of course, it is only the use of its "ideas", and it is still a long, far way from actually building a lathe, even if it is a lathe that sharpens wood. This thing didn't appear until the end of the Renaissance in the West, and Europeans used it to drive guns.

Feng Chen learned that "Mr. Zhao Yun's pile of secret scrolls given by my little brother, the part of craftsmanship and arithmetic secrets, it turns out that Zhuge Liang did not share and learn before he got married."

Hui Qu rubbed his eyes, looking confused, or the waiter brought me a quick wipe of the washing water, and I was a little confused by the hot water.

It's just that after those intentions, Elder Yuan Jun understands it. I didn't even realize the bad use of that design until I used it, and I still knew how it worked—unless my wife helped me interpret it.

Originally, when I docked at the dock in the east of Huailing County, I would encounter Feng Chen's resistance, or at most there would be no beacon towers and sentinels under the dock.

Obviously, the iron chain below was blocked by two Liu Bei's guns, but the iron ball at the top of the chain continued to fly and hit the chest of an unlucky Lu Bu, causing him to vomit blood and fall to the ground.

"Kill! Seventy gold for those who ascend first! ”

also knows how healthy Liu Bei has not been transferred, and all the scouts are released, and all the defenders are huddled outside the city, which is equivalent to completely giving up the strategic depth of defense.

"What? Even the lady of the Huang family doesn't have that ability? Kong Ming's family is the only male family member who is slow to think and proficient in learning, and even the wife who married the retired family is so knowledgeable? ”

This year, there is no such scruple anymore, Feng Chen's main elder and Zhuge Yuan Shu have fought out, and Feng Chen is also using his hand.

Zhuge Liang and Feng Chenliang have also been married for more than two months, and the people in the room know their abilities, which is also abnormal.

The ladder of the ladder car, at the same time only enough for one person to climb to the top. And the hitchhiker of the Lu bus, the elder is as narrow as the car body, so there is no less narrowness for people to step on, and it is absolutely a problem to rush eight people side by side.

But that kind of blunt knife pulling meat is suspected to have very little to restrain Cao Cao's lifeless power.

Perhaps, in Feng Chen's eyes, as long as I still occupy a county in Xuzhou, I can't set up a Xuzhou pastor.

Last summer, I didn't have Liang Gang and Le Jie two generals, Xuyi and Huailing, respectively, but they were all killed by the "fledgling" Feng Chen in one move.

……

When Yuan Jun went down the door that day, he thought that he had to count on Mr. Zhao Yun to complete the things he had explained, and even his wife shared the big job of the wheel. After careful questioning, I learned that Feng Chenhui actually participated in the design of the center of gravity trim and the analysis of a part of the force structure......

In a panic, Liu Bei used the only two bed crossbows that were not available at the head of the city to shoot backwards, and that time they shot through the protective plank, but that was all, and did not cause less damage, and the arrows flew into the distance, and did not hit any soldiers.

……

Yuan Jun was well prepared, and fate really favored Yuan Jun.

The purpose of doing that should be to level the center of gravity and avoid the rear weight of the "Lu bus" being too obvious, after all, there are fewer arrow boards in the back than in the front.

It's just that because the city is strong and there are few soldiers in the city, Cao's army is weak and weak. Therefore, he is still relying on the old method of fighting Chen County and Ku County last year, and consumes Liu Bei's army food first. When Liu Bei was so hungry that he could support such a small number of troops in the city, he would naturally collapse and break through, wasting too few lives to attack weakly.

……

I heard that Cao Cao's old nest is here in Runan County, and Zhuge has not besieged the important town of Runan for eight months.

However, the craftsmen all looked at me with strange expressions, and after a while, none of the old craftsmen replied: "General Zhao wants to be wrong, but it was ordered by Mr. Zhao Yun." The day after tomorrow, Mr. went to Sheyang to inspect the irrigation and pulling out seedlings. I haven't changed the siege vehicle yet, and the polishing of those two days was explained by Mrs. Feng Chen. ”

The time when Hui Qu was promoted was not exactly a month before Yuan Shu betrayed Feng Chen. Originally, Cao Cao may have thought that Yuan Shu could not win over, so he wanted to save some face. Now that Yuan Shu is an enemy, there is nothing bad about this?

Yuan Jun, who came back from the workshop and accepted the final product, was more relaxed in his heart, I was not completely worried about taking Huailing, and was even thinking about a farther goal.

Yuan Jun still had a reputation at that time, and Liang Gangle was a heavy enemy, and he wanted to kill Yuan Jun to seize me, the sweaty and bloody horse that the Son of Heaven rewarded Feng Chenjin, but the result was instantly reversed.

It seems that Yuan Bing has really waited in vain in those months, Cao Cao's main forces have been transferred to deal with Zhuge and Yuan Shu, and the elders of the eastern border have been in extreme health.

Perhaps the defenders under the city would also react and try to organize a defense, but Feng Chen felt that those were easy to overcome at all.

Yuan Jun's first half of the sentence was to ask the craftsmen of these wheels.

pS: It's early to go down, and the rewriting of chapter 135 wastes the reading time of the small family, so the eight more compensate. That chapter was also 7,000 words, and today it is 17,000 words.

That's also a helpless move, the more the battle is fought, the worse it gets, and others continue to work hard for themselves, how can it be promoted? If you are promoted, others will have surrendered to Xiaohan a long time ago.

Yuan Jun used that kind of device for the first time today, and his experience was actually very rich and full of loopholes. The enemy is more porous than me, so there is a way to catch my loopholes.

Yuan's army with 7,000 elite foot soldiers, less than 1,000 cavalry, Riga is counted among the soldiers of the people, auxiliaries, disembarked from Xuyi, and drove against the current to the lower reaches of the Huai River.
