Chapter 212: War Promotes Social Progress
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, family reunion-
Everyone was shocked, but Liu Ming was not surprised at all. This result was already under Liu Ming's estimate.
But after Liu Ming missed the initial surprise, the rest sighed more.
For Liu Ming, the current situation is unceremonious, it is all made of money. Moreover, this is not a small part of money, this is Liu Ming’s current wealth, and it cannot be ignored.
A lot of money. As a fire-fighting device, the water dragon does not have much effect on the battlefield. The one that really works here is actually the "Dream Water" contained in the water dragon.
But it is not easy to modulate the "Dream Water" in large quantities. This is not how much effort Hua Tuo spent to modulate the "Dream Water". After all, Hua Tuo had already developed Ma Fei San, and
With the formula of "Jiu Crown and Resurrection", it is still easy to prepare this medicine, just like the sleeping pill prepared by Hua Tuo for Liu Ming, it was just a replacement of the oral-type decoction with volatile ones.
Just medicine. And there are no more medicines to calm the mind, replenish qi, and nourish the body. However, with this formula, other medicines are easy to deal with, but one of the main medicines has to borrow more.
The main medicine in the "Sleeping Beauty" in the "Five-up" update of the Mingwu Suanxiang.
The production of this drug is extremely rare, usually only produced in dark places in deep mountains and forests, and is not suitable for large-scale production and use. After Hua Tuo developed the samples, Liu Ming specially used them in order to enable large-scale production.
Hundreds of thousands of slaves opened up tens of thousands of acres of medicinal gardens in Baihua Valley, Xiaoxing Mountain, and then planted vines on the medicinal gardens, built fishing nets, simulated a dark environment suitable for the growth of "Sleeping Beauty", and used the bamboo joints to open up.
The bamboo brings the water from the mountain stream for irrigation and care.
But that's all, it's not over. These "Sleeping Beauty" are not as soil and moisture as other plants, so that's fine. Although these "Sleeping Beauty" are very bright plants, they are
Carnivorous. They lure insects to approach with bright colors. After anesthetizing these insects with the aroma of the fern, they will secrete and eat them. This is also a reason that limits their growth. Therefore, if you want to raise them,
They also need to be regularly fed and fed.
There are no less than a thousand medicinal farmers who specialize in serving the "Sleeping Beauty". In order to prevent these medicinal farmers from sleeping in the sea of flowers when cultivating the "Sleeping Beauty", they also need to wear special medicines when they work.
Zhonghe. These are all money.
Even when it was successfully developed, Hua Tuo advised Liu Ming to give up using "Dream Water" because the cost of this "Dream Water" was too high, and instead burned the heartbreaking grass that grew in large quantities on the grassland.
Grass contains highly toxic. The poisonous smoke produced after burning can cause symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, etc. to the person who smells it, and even dies. It can also achieve the effect of Liu Ming using "Dream Water" to defeat the enemy.
Liu Ming believed that the poisonous smoke attack that burned the heartbreaking grass was more difficult to control than the "Dream Water". It relied more on the wind direction, and the range of the poisonous smoke was not easy to control. Unlike the "Dream Water", it was OK at least
Shoot out more than a hundred steps with a water dragon, creating a certain safe distance, and limiting the scope of its function to a certain area. Moreover, since the use of the heartbreaker is more obvious and simple, as long as someone pays attention, you can imitate the past
, We can use it, and others can use it the same way. In the future, we will have more trouble. It is not as mysterious as "Dream Water", but it can also lock others' eyes on new styles.
The weapon water dragon is used to reduce the scope of other princes’ applications. However, the most important thing is that Liu Ming believes that burning the "heartbroken grass" is much more harmful and cruel than using the "Dream Water". After all, the "Dream Water" is
'It's just to make people sleep. The 'heartbroken grass' may cause a large number of deaths. Therefore, Liu Ming finally put all his efforts into cultivating the 'sleeping beauty', and the large-scale modulation and application of 'Dream Water'
.
However, even though this potion was prepared in large quantities, it was still very inconvenient to use it.
First of all, this potion is not distinguished from one's own enemies, it is effective against the enemy and also against one's own people. Therefore, when using it, you must determine the direction of the wind and the environment.
Secondly, the places where this potion has been used continue to perform its effects within a cup of tea. If the use force wants to pass without waiting for the effects to disappear, it will only be worn by the "Xingshen Pill".
Although the 'Xingshen Pills' are much cheaper than 'Mengmeng Water', the number is too high, which is also a considerable expense.
Moreover, the most important thing is that this attack method is not suitable for use in melee between the two armies. Moreover, since the water dragon is extremely slow to move and use, it is not suitable for dealing with fast-moving troops.
This was originally something that Liu Ming planned to use in a specific environment in order to reduce unnecessary casualties when siegeing the city. Today, it was just a dessert prepared after Jia Xu calculated the opponent's attack method. The purpose was nothing more than
This caused a period of unmanned areas, cut off the continuous offensive capabilities of Gongsun Kang's army, thus allowing Liu Ming's third-tier heavy infantry to play the advantage of attacking more and attacking less.
However, no one expected that the strange attack method of the Water Dragon Force was unprecedented in the past, and the huge shock it produced turned the dessert into a big meal.
After Liu Mingdi sighed, he looked at the scene in front of him. It was worth it! It was worth it! His money and hard work were worth it. This was much less than when he attacked Jinyang! That's why.
No matter how innocent and heroic life is, you don’t have to die in vain. No matter how much money you spend, it will be worth it!
Although Liu Ming thought so much, it was just a matter of Liu Ming's mind. In fact, it didn't take much time, and Liu Ming would not miss such a good fighter opportunity. Liu Ming calmly ordered:
"Beat the drum!"
Logically speaking, after the war drums sounded, it should be the advance of the entire army. However, Liu Mingde's army responded differently.
The reason is very simple. The uninhabited area in the middle caused by the water dragon cannot pass temporarily. Who will go? Everyone will fall down unless he has an antidote. However, Liu Ming was prepared for this.
As the drums of Liu Ming's army rang out, Liu Ming's army did not move at all, but a thousand soldiers wearing the "Awakening Sword" began to clean the battlefield, and they did not clean up the field in full, but just put the
Those sleeping soldiers were simply piled up together to clear out a few roads that were convenient for the army to pass. After the effect of "Dream Water" was over, Liu Ming's central army could pass quickly.
Although the central army did not move, the two wings of Liu Ming's army were led by Zhao Yun and Lu Bu, and began to quickly detour and rushed directly towards Gongsun Kang's camp.
The result is self-evident, there is nothing to suspect in such a battle situation. Naturally, the army led by Liu Ming easily won. As for Gongsun Kang, after his pride was broken, he once had the idea of breaking his mind. As a result, he was under his command.
The generals sent by Gongsun Du to protect him escort him to escape to death.
What a pity. If the direction of their escape was the direction of Lu Bu's pursuit, they could still save their lives if they couldn't take it. It was just that they added some of their property to Lu Bu. But the direction of their escape was the direction of Zhao Yun's pursuit.
Zhao Yun led his troops, and the pursuit speed was so fast. Zhao Yun was a rigorous and meticulous person, strictly abide by the fugitive! Kill! Resistant! Kill! Reduce the casualties of his own army to the lowest
Doctrine. When Zhao Yun ordered to surrender but failed to comply, their group of people were shot into a group of hedgehogs by Zhao Yun's army.
Afterwards, Liu Ming's army quickly advanced towards Liaoyang with a strong momentum. When Gongsun Du lost his beloved son, he resisted the grief and anger in his heart and resolutely implemented Murong Xing's strategy that he could not stick to. However, he
This strategy quickly collapsed under the clever use of Liu Ming's "Word Water". Liaoyang, Liaolong, Wangping and other cities were successively captured by Liu Ming. Until Liu Ming's army attacked Gongsun Du's main city
When she was in Xiangping, Murong Xingcai, after receiving a lot of information, came up with a solution that was not a complete solution to Liu Ming's Shuilong troops.
He hung up multiple layers of wet cowhide on the head of the city facing the wind, which was used to intercept the flying stones thrown out by Liu Ming's serial stone chariot, and also intercepted the water columns shot by Liu Ming's water dragon. At the same time, he also gave the
The soldiers guarding the city at the top of the city each distributed an airbag made of pig urinary veins. After seeing Liu Ming using water dragon, he used the airbag made of pig urinary veins to breathe. He continued to fight, and the rear was a special person.
Fill in air bags to replace and use the soldiers guarding the city ahead.
Not to mention, this method has some results.
First of all, the hanging wet cowhide has obvious effect on the chain stone launcher. If the flying giant rocks are not smashed down but are intercepted in mid-air, the impact force is still limited. Therefore,
The flying rocks that were relatively low were almost all intercepted by wet cowhide and fell outside the city. And those who flew higher all over the soldiers who defended the city and landed behind them. Only those forces
It can only cause casualties to Gongsun Du's army, but that's limited after all.
Secondly, due to the cover of wet cowhide, Liu Ming's water dragon's troops sprayed out the water column that could not extend to the rear of the city, and the scope of its function was always intercepted at the small piece of the city head and outside the city wall. The soldiers guarding the city had
Although the airbags provide them with breathing, they can only move freely in that area.
After Liu Ming first saw these things, he not only shocked the wisdom and adaptability of the ancients, but also sighed more. Liu Ming thought helplessly: No wonder people often say that war promotes social progress. After only a few battles, they
Even a simple gas mask was made. If you beat too much, it would be great. However, Liu Ming was secretly happy that this thing saved a lot of money than his "Xing Shen Pill". Moreover, it not only did it for itself
The 'Dream Water' is effective. It should also be effective against other similar attacks. It seems that I should also prepare a lot of things in the future.
Although Liu Ming thought that Gongsun Du and the others had good wisdom and were very successful in preparing, this did not mean that Liu Ming had no choice but to do anything about them. Of course, Liu Ming's preparation for siege for more than a year would not be the only two tricks.
With Liu Ming's order, some of the ejections of the chain stone-driven carts changed, no longer huge rocks, but earth bags filled with soil. The target of these earth bags is the moat in front of the city gate.
After the moat was filled, thirty behemoths drove out of Liu Ming's army. These behemoths, about three meters high, were like moving houses, slowly moving towards Xiangping's city gates and walls.
past.
This is the siege car built by Liu Ming based on the ancient ground provided by Yang Jun. However, the structure is much larger, and the whole body is made of high-quality steel as a bracket, with iron cover sitting on the top, wet cowhide outside, and two horses inside.
Pulling, there were ten soldiers hidden inside. After reaching the city gate and the city wall, they used the solid collision angle inside the siege car to hit the city gate and the city wall wildly.
When these siege cars hit the city gate and the city wall, Lu Bu also led 10,000 cavalrymen back and forth in front of the city, flying, harassing and shooting the city head under Liu Ming's order.
The enemy army on the ground.
No matter how high Murong Xing's wisdom is and enough wisdom is, he has no effective way to deal with such unscrupulous and unheard of improved siege vehicles.
Xiangping finally, under Liu Ming's protracted attack method, his city gates and walls were all destroyed.
Gongsun Du was out of life when his beloved son and the city fell, and ignited the fire. A big fire burned all his family and his house cleanly. But Murong Xing was not loyal to his loyal ministers.
The mentality of serving the two masters was also realized that it was the idea that he had given to his lord, Gongsun Du, which harmed his lord, Gongsun Du's life and hegemony. It was better than to persuade his lord to follow his humble plan, so that he could not be prepared to protect Gongsun Du's entire family.
The lives of the superiors and subordinates. Therefore, Murong Xing also followed his lord to ignite the fire.
When Gongsun Yue was desperate, he rose up Yu Yong and led his troops out to intercept the troops coming into the city. Zhang Fei took a move to the horse. When Guan Jing was ineffective in dissuasion, he also chose to cooperate with Gongsun Yue.
He also died in the chaos.
