    The three of them walked out of the tent together. Huang Zhong led Zhang Fei out of the tent for more than a thousand meters. When they came to a wide square in the south of the tent, they saw bright lights and crowded people.  There were even a large number of carriages pulling in from outside.

    Carriages were pulled in one after another, carrying linen on the carriages, and large and strange things appeared in Zhang Fei's sight. These movements were made of wood and iron, and they looked like parts of various parts. It was difficult for Zhang Fei to understand what he was seeing.  What exactly is it, and can it really capture Huai County?

    "Han Sheng, these these scraps of scrap metal are the secret weapons you said, and what are they doing?" Zhang Fei was very puzzled, and in the end he could only ask Huang Zhong beside him for advice.

    Huang Zhong disagreed. In Zhang Fei's eyes, these were scrap metal objects, but in his own eyes, these things were extremely lethal siege equipment.  When he saw these things, he had the same expression as Zhang Fei, but after the soldiers assembled and used them, Huang Zhong realized how terrifying these things were.

    "You'll know after you see it." Huang Zhong didn't explain much. He watched the soldiers quickly assemble and build, and he said no more.

    The thing in front of you is indeed rough, and it looks like scrap metal as Zhang Fei said.  But if you look carefully, you will have another idea. When the soldiers built a thing in front of them, Zhang Fei's pupils expanded and contracted, and his eyes were fixed on the thing in front of him.

    The soldiers were skillfully assembled, and the thing in front of them looked like a mechanical beast. The ferocious and high tiger head made people feel scared, and the mechanism on its back made Zhang Fei look a bit like a catapult. In addition,  , and there are similar parts to the catapult in other places, but the sizes are different.  There are also four huge wheels mounted on its base.

    "This car looks a lot like a catapult, but it's much smaller." Zhang Fei muttered to himself.

    Huang Zhong nodded, "Yide guessed half of it right. This thing is an improvement from the catapult, and it's called the Thunderbolt Chariot."

    "Thunderbolt Chariot, this name is quite majestic. But can this so-called Thunderbolt Chariot be compared with a catapult?" Zhang Fei couldn't help but feel a little confused. Looking at it, it was smaller than a catapult. Zhang Fei couldn't believe it.  .

    The structure of the catapult these days is very simple. It is a huge lever. The long end is loaded with stones in a leather sheath or a wooden basket. The short end is tied with dozens of ropes. When the order is given, dozens of people pull the ropes at the same time.  , using the lever principle to throw stones, this is also Zhang Fei's simplest understanding of catapults.

    Huang Zhong knew Zhang Fei would ask this question and pointed to the Thunderbolt Cart, "This object can launch two to three hundred kilograms of boulders. Perhaps no catapult can carry hundreds of kilograms of boulders, but its launch distance is not shorter than that of a catapult, at least two or three hundred kilograms."  It can even continuously eject stones at a distance of 100 meters. The most important thing is that this thunderbolt car does not require more than ten people to operate, only four or five people."

    "This thing is really as powerful as Brother Han said." Thinking that a catapult that requires more than a dozen people to operate is inferior to a thunderbolt vehicle that can be operated by four or five people, Zhang Fei still finds it difficult to accept it.

    "Is it as powerful as I said? You will know it when you attack the city tomorrow." Hearing is false and seeing is believing. Huang Zhong knew that it would be useless to explain too much, so he had better wait for the truth to be revealed tomorrow.

    At dawn the next day, nearly 40,000 Liu Jiajun troops came to the city. Wen Chou, Zhang He, Guo Tu and other generals stood on the city wall, looking at the Liu Jiajun below the city. Everyone was puzzled: "Is Zhang Fei hot-headed?"  This mere 40,000-strong army also wants to attack Huai County, has he gone crazy?"

    "Haha Everyone says that Zhang Fei of the Liu Family Army is a brave and foolhardy man. It seems to be true today. If his army attacks the city, he will retreat within a day."

    "This is extremely stupid. If Zhang Fei attacks the city today, he will never come back. There is no way he can even think about retreating."

    The generals of Yuan's army on the city spoke to each other, and they all dismissed Zhang Fei's attack on the city.  Not only them, but even Guo Tu thought so, but Guo Tu was also thinking secretly, why on earth did Liu Jiajun have such confidence to attack Huai County with only 40,000 troops? Could they really be so sure?

    "Everyone, look, what is that?" While everyone was talking and Guo Tu was deep in thought, Gao Lan pointed at the battlefield and said loudly.  Immediately, all the soldiers present could not help but look up at the battlefield.

    On the vast battlefield, the Liu Jiajun's 40,000 troops were lined up neatly. When the drums sounded, the Liu Jiajun standing in the front quickly dispersed, and thunderbolt vehicles were pushed out from the crowd. At a glance, there were at least a hundred vehicles.

    The Pili cars dispersed every fifteen meters or so and stopped more than two hundred meters away from the city.  Immediately afterwards, I saw a large number of soldiers leading carriages to carry countless stones from various places to the Thunderbolt Cart. The smallest of these stones weighed fifty or sixty kilograms, and the larger ones weighed one or two hundred kilograms. It can be said that there was sufficient ammunition and firepower.

    "Each standard Huaicheng" There will be a man holding a red gun next to each Thunderbolt car.The flag soldiers were in command, and the Pili vehicles began to turn their heads and start operating.

    "Hahaha What do they want to do? Do they want to use this thing to smash huge rocks into my city?" Wen Chou on the city wall glanced at the Thunderbolt Chariot on the battlefield, with a look of disdain on his face, and couldn't help laughing.

    Hearing Wen Chou¡¯s laughter, several generals present also laughed in agreement, with the exception of three people, namely Zhang He, Guo Tu, and Gao Lan.

    "Quick, gather three hundred shield soldiers and come up." Although he didn't know how powerful this thing was, Zhang He was a cautious man. Since Liu Jiajun dared to use this thing to attack the city without using a catapult, he must have something unique about it.

    ¡°Put it away! Let it go! Let it go¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡±

    As soon as the red flag was waved, a thunderous sound was heard, and countless stone bullets flew towards the wall of Huai County. The stone bullets thrown continuously like a rain of flowers in the sky were like a salvo of ten thousand cannons. The scene was extremely majestic and spectacular.

    "Boom, boom, boom" Huge boulders fell from the sky onto Huaicheng. It was a natural disaster for the Yuan army defending the city. Before they could turn around and escape, they were crushed into pulp, and even  Countless craters were smashed into the city.

    Although Yuan Jun was strong, he was still made of flesh and blood. Faced with such a terrifying siege equipment, he could only sigh in despair and flee in all directions. After all, he could not compete with it.

    "Quick, the shield soldiers quickly raise their shields to stop them. The army cannot retreat. If anyone retreats without permission, he will be killed without mercy." When Yuan Jun was defeated and panicked, Zhang He gave a loud order, and all Yuan Jun's troops were no longer panicked.

    "How long can these shield soldiers hold on in the face of wave after wave of stone bullets?"  Zhang He didn't dare to think too much. At this moment, he only knew that if the city in front of him was lost, Huaicheng would be difficult to defend.

    "Mr. Gongze, you'd better go down to the city quickly. Don't open your eyes to the stones in the sky. If anything goes wrong, I won't be able to report it to the master." Wen Chou punched the boulder that fell from the air and hurriedly came to Guo Tu's side.  He spoke.

    At this time, Guo Tu was so frightened that his face turned pale and his legs were trembling. It was not that he did not want to leave the place of right and wrong in front of him, but that it was difficult for him to take a step forward. He had already been frightened by the scene in front of him. As a scholar, he had never  How often had he seen such a scene.
