Text Chapter 283 Destruction of Huai City (Part 1)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Huge boulders were flying all over the sky, and screams were heard from above Huai City.  Wave after wave of boulders were thrown, leaving Huaicheng in a mess. The guards and soldiers on the city also quickly looked for shelter. Many people even ignored Wen Chou's military order and hid under the city.

    "Wow! Help! Help me!" A Yuan Jun was pinned down by a boulder and shouted for help to his comrades running past, but no one paid heed to his shouts.  , the people present are either defending or taking refuge.

    "I don't want to die, I don't want to die, please help me" A Yuan Bing, whose lower body was pinned down by a boulder, struggled but couldn't get out. He shouted a few times before dying.

    The bombing continued for more than an hour, and huge rocks were continuously thrown from the Thunderbolt Car. Faced with the meteor shower-like bombing, Yuan Jun on the city suffered heavy casualties. The huge rocks directly smashed people into pulp, and their brains flew out. If they were lucky, a few of them died.  He was missing arms and legs, but he only had half a life left.  Even Yuan Jun, who had strong soldiers and horses, could only give in three points when faced with such siege equipment.

    "Grandma, this Thunderbolt Chariot is really a treasure! Even in a high city, it is difficult to hold on. But why didn't I know that there was such a thing in Taiyuan City? Who designed this thing?" Looking at Huaicheng  As a result of being bombarded by a thunderbolt car, Zhang Fei couldn't help but scratch the back of his head, and a rare smile appeared on his dark face.  At this time, he no longer cared about the power of the Thunderbolt Chariot. Instead, he was curious about the invention of this siege equipment, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Huang Zhong.

    Seeing Zhang Fei looking at him, Huang Zhong knew that Zhang Fei was impatient and would not lose his appetite.  "This thing was designed by Zi Yang and a man named Ma Jun. It seems that the master suggested it and drew the drawings." Huang Zhong didn't know for sure, but he just told Zhang Fei roughly.

    "Ma Jun, I have never heard of this person. But my lord and Zi Yang are still hiding it so deeply that they can even invent this thing." Zhang Fei was amazed. His eyes couldn't help but spin around in the thunder car, and he couldn't help but secretly think about his own thunder.  If the army can form a thunder chariot, its strength will be greatly increased, and it will be much easier to attack the city and take out the stronghold.

    Seeing Zhang Fei's expression, Huang Zhong knew what the other party was planning, and hurriedly stepped forward and warned, "Yide, these eighty or so Thunderbolt Chariots are owned by our Huwei Army, and this matter has been approved by the Lord. Don't do this."  Object ideas.¡±

    When Huang Zhong saw this thing for the first time, he thought it would be better to strike first, and Liu Long agreed immediately.

    "Look at what you said, am I, Zhang Fei, that kind of person? A gentleman does not take what others like." Zhang Fei waved his hand with a nonchalant look on his face, but he had already made up his mind that after this battle was over, he would go back to meet Liu  Long discussed the matter carefully.

    The Thunderbolt Chariot is certainly good. It is not only a powerful siege tool, but also a defensive tool for defending the city.  With powerful attack power and long-range combat capabilities, it is an excellent weapon whether it is defending or attacking a city.

    There are advantages and disadvantages. The self-manufacturing of the Pili Chariot is quite troublesome and expensive, and it can be transported in plains and other places when attacking cities and villages, but it will not work well if it is heading to Shu roads, plateaus, mountains, etc., even if it is disassembled and assembled.

    The main purpose of Liu Long's self-built thunder chariot was not to attack the city, but to defend the city.  And the biggest contributor to his ability to build his own thunderbolt car was another person besides Liu Ye.  This is the Ma Jun Huang Zhong mentioned.

    The thunderbolt chariot in front of us is very different from the one modified by Liu Ye in history. Liu Ye and Ma Jun designed each other, and Liu Long, a modern man thousands of years later, helped from it. It is even stronger than the catapults of the Northern Song Dynasty and Southern Song Dynasty.  Up a few points.

    As we all know, the period from the Northern Song Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty was the climax of catapults, in which the counterweight catapult was invented. During the Battle of Bianjing that destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty set up more than 5,000 catapults overnight.  In a simultaneous concentric attack outside the fifty-mile-long city wall of Bianjing, the Jin army fired countless stone bullets, so much so that no stones could be found outside Bianjing at that time. When attacking the city, they first filled in the moat, and then fired thousands of cannons.  A volley of fire, supplemented by a large number of powerful crossbows, defeated the deployment of the city defenders in one fell swoop, and then dispatched a firepower preparation that was as high as the city wall. You can imagine the spectacular firing scene at that time, which is not inferior to the scale of modern warfare.

    Liu Long not only used modern elements, but also appropriated the essence of the catapults from the Northern Song Dynasty and Southern Song Dynasty to the Thunderbolt Chariot, which made the Thunderbolt Chariot so powerful.

    Since the battle against Dong Zhuo, Liu Long led hundreds of thousands of refugees back to Bingzhou, one of whom was Ma Jun.  At that time, Ma Jun went to the recruitment hall in person. Later, Liu Long searched the recruitment book and discovered Ma Jun's person. At first, Liu Long was not sure whether the person was the Ma Jun in history.  Later, when I met him, I realized that the person in front of me was the person I was looking for.

    In order to recruit Ma Jun for his own use, Liu Long set up a mechanical camp for Ma Jun.  The camp was arranged in Longshan Town, fifty miles west of Jinyang City.  The terrain is quite secretive and there is a large army stationed there.

    Of course, what made Ma Jun truly surrender to Liu Long was not Liu Long giving him an official position and arranging a mechanical battalion.  It was painted by Liu LongThe drawings produced in various formats that Ma Jun had never seen made Ma Jun determined to stay in Jinyang and join the Liu Jiajun.

    The Mechanical Battalion has just been established, and there are not many technical personnel in it. Most of them are apprentices. Therefore, in the past six months or so, less than 100 Pili cars have been manufactured.  The eighty frames that Huang Zhong brought before him were the results of the past six months.

    Manufacturing, research, and development are the main purposes of the Machinery Battalion. Ma Jun's design does not only play a role in war.  It played a considerable role in providing people with life and work. For Liu Long, having Ma Jun join him greatly increased his military and governance capabilities.

    After nearly a morning of bombing, the walls of Huaicheng were full of holes and holes, and corpses could be seen everywhere on the walls under the huge rocks.  Even the moat at the city gate was almost filled in, and the scene was horrific.

    "Retract the troops." After firing all morning, Huang Zhong did not order the army to attack, but called for gold to withdraw the troops.

    Zhang Fei on one side was preparing to launch an attack on the city, but when he heard Huang Zhong's words "retreat troops," he hurriedly asked, "Remove troops, why? It's a great opportunity to attack the city."

    "It's not the time to attack the city yet. Although they used thunderbolt chariots to give Yuan Jun a fatal blow, Yuan Jun's soldiers and horses in the city are far superior to our army. A strong attack will do no good to our army. I regret killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred."  Both sides will suffer losses." Xu Rongce immediately stepped forward.

    Zhang Fei would have thought so much. Based on what he saw before him, this is the best time to attack the city. "Then when do you two think it is a good time to attack the city?"

    "Wait, wait until the morale of Yuan's army drops drastically, that's when our army will attack the city. If a large army has no morale, then no matter how many soldiers and horses it has, it will just be a show." Before Huang Zhong came, Liu Ye came to find him.  They discussed and told them that there was no need to rush to attack the city, but to attack slowly and steadily

    Chapter 1 is here, let¡¯s move on to Chapter 2.  Chapter 2 will be later. You can¡¯t wait to watch it tomorrow. Your health is important.
