On the day Yuan Jun's camp was built, Cao Cao and Zhao Fei both carefully studied Yuan Jun's camp. They found that Yuan Jun's camp was built according to the situation, and the construction was quite detailed. If the two of them were to choose a place for a sneak attack, it would definitely be abnormal. headache.
At this time, Zhao Fei felt that this Qu Yi was indeed a rare general. He was not only good at running the army, but also had good tactics. Such a person was obviously more difficult to deal with than Yan Liang, Wen and Chou put together. After all, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others were just ordinary men, while Qu Yi was a man of all talents in both civil and military affairs.
The threat of such a person is really great, but Zhao Fei obviously has no way to deal with this person. After all, this person has made great contributions. Even if Zhao Fei is just using conspiracy and tricks, he still needs Yuan Shao to believe him. But now Qu Yi Since he has won Yuan Shao's trust, what method can he use to deal with Qu Yi?
Zhao Fei shook his head, Cao Jun had countless generals, how could he be no match for one Qu Yi? Zhao Fei definitely didn't believe this. These two defeats were unintentional mistakes, unexpected actions, as long as they were handled carefully, he didn't believe it. What kind of trouble can Qu Yi cause?
With confidence, Zhao Fei's expression obviously improved a lot. Now that he knew that Yuan Shao had such a trustworthy and strategic general beside him, Zhao Fei naturally had to devote 100% of his energy to deal with it.
The next battle is particularly important for Cao Jun. Cao Jun must not have any more problems. Cao Jun's food and grass were burned by Yuan Jun. This obviously had a great impact on Cao Jun's morale, so be careful when everything is done.
Of course, in addition to this matter, there is another particularly important thing that we should start to consider, and that is the matter of Wuchao. Although there is no guarantee that Wuchao will preview it as it has historically, this is obviously very important. .
It is almost impossible to defeat Yuan Jun head-on. Not to mention whether Cao Jun has such strength, even if he does, Yuan Shao will never give Cao Jun this chance. After all, Yuan Shao has been frightened by Cao Jun after several battles. Moreover, it is particularly important. The only thing is that conquering a camp is a headache just thinking about it.
Zhao Fei's spies have already been sent out, and there are more than one or two. But now no one has come to reply, which is also something that makes Zhao Fei feel quite distressed. In this era, the transmission of news is really too slow, which makes Zhao Fei had no choice.
Zhao Fei had just sorted out his thoughts here, and Cao Cao sent someone to ask him to go to discuss matters. Zhao Fei shook his head helplessly. He had just felt free for a few days, but Cao Cao suddenly asked him to go to discuss matters, which was obviously another matter. Something happened.
Obviously, when Zhao Fei came to Cao Cao's camp, Cao Cao was sitting on the main seat with a sad look on his face. Seeing Cao Cao's expression, Zhao Fei was obviously a little confused, but he also realized that if Cao Cao could be persuaded With such an expression, it proves that this matter is indeed a bit difficult.
After Zhao Fei entered the camp, everyone focused on him. Obviously, since Zhao Fei is a think tank, it is obvious that the solution lies on Zhao Fei. If Zhao Fei cannot solve it, then There is really nothing we can do from now on.
"What happened?" Seeing the solemn looks on everyone's faces, Zhao Fei hurriedly asked. He didn't hear any shouts of killing. It was definitely not Yuan Jun's rash attack. In this case, what happened again? What?
Zhao Fei was very puzzled, but then Cao Cao suddenly said: "Pengju hasn't paid much in the past few days, and he obviously doesn't know what happened. Come with me, and you will know after taking a look."
Zhao Fei nodded, and then accompanied by Cao Cao and a group of generals, they removed Cao Cao's tent. After leaving the tent, everyone went straight to the gate of the camp. Before reaching the gate of the camp, Zhao Fei apparently saw Yuan Jun's camp standing in the distance. The huge thing. Zhao Fei was stunned for a moment, and then thought of something. However, this was a bit too shocking.
Zhao Fei secretly thought that for the arrow tower, what Yuan Jun built was really shocking. However, it was shocking. Yuan Jun's arrow tower was obviously very effective, otherwise Cao Cao and all the generals of Cao Jun would not have been exposed. Such an expression.
But this thing can't trouble Zhao Fei, because Zhao Fei knows very well how to restrain Yuan Jun's strategy. As for the catapult, as long as the catapult is built, Cao Jun's arrow tower is obviously just a decoration.
After Cao Cao saw Zhao Fei's expression, he couldn't help but feel reassured. Obviously, Zhao Fei was just stunned for a moment, but there was no worry in the world. It was obvious that Zhao Fei must have a way to deal with Yuan Shao.
"Does Pengju have a way to deal with this situation?" Cao Cao asked loudly. In Cao Cao's view, there should be no problem with this matter, because Zhao Fei didn't have any strange expression, which proved that he already had a solution in his mind.
Zhao Fei nodded slightly, "Yuan Shao occupies the high ground and wants to suppress our army. This is a good idea, but it is still not insurmountable!"
Cao Cao obviously liked hearing Zhao Fei say this, but he still sighed with emotion. He was already having a headache about this matter, but he had not thought of a solution. Zhao Fei just took a look and immediately thought of how to deal with this. It’s really not okay to be dissatisfied.
"In that case, how do you think Pengju should deal with this matter?" Cao Cao asked hurriedly. Yuan Jun's arrow towers were already pressing down on Cao Jun and it was difficult for Cao Jun to raise his head. If he didn't find a way to solve it, it would have a huge impact on morale.
He was suppressed and did not even dare to leave the camp. God knows how Yuan Jun would laugh at Cao Jun. Therefore, the sooner Yuan Jun's arrow tower is eliminated, the more beneficial it will be for Cao Jun.
However, Zhao Fei shook his head slightly, "I can't rush this matter, because what I want is not available here." Although Zhao Fei knew that catapults could restrain Yuan Jun, it was obvious that there were no catapults at the moment.
Cao Cao was slightly puzzled. It was obviously difficult for him to think of anything that could suppress Yuan Jun's arrow tower. He looked at Zhao Fei, and then hurriedly said: "Peng Ju can just say something about what he lacks, why do we have to hide it! "
Zhao Fei smiled and then said: "The thing I'm talking about is called a catapult!"
"Catapult!" Cao Cao muttered. Although he didn't know what this catapult was, he could tell from the name that Zhao Fei used the catapult to throw stones. But, could throwing stones alone suppress Yuan Jun? ?
Cao Cao looked at Zhao Fei with doubtful eyes. At this time, Cao Cao was obviously very anxious. He urgently hoped that Zhao Fei would give him a reasonable explanation so that he would not suffer like this anymore.
Zhao Fei smiled and shook his head. He glanced at Cao Cao, and then said something: "Go back to the camp first, and tell the soldiers that Yuan Jun will not be tolerated for a few days." After saying that, Zhao Fei turned around and left, and Cao Cao also I had no choice but to keep up.
After returning to the camp, Zhao Fei finally told Cao Cao that the catapult was far away. Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard this. It was obvious that he knew very well how huge the impact the catapult would have on the battlefield if it appeared on the battlefield.
However, what Zhao Fei said is just the tip of the iceberg. The catapult is a very sharp siege equipment. As long as there are enough stones, there is obviously no problem in using the catapult to blast through the wall of a city.
Moreover, throwing a boulder the size of a millstone into the enemy camp is a shocking sight. This can greatly damage the morale of the enemy.
You know, in the game, the morale of the army hit by the catapult will be reduced, so this is definitely a weapon for siege.
But although Zhao Fei knew that there was such a thing as a catapult, he obviously didn't know how to make it. Moreover, even if he could make it, it would obviously be difficult to make a catapult that could throw stones as big as a millstone.
When encountering professional problems, it is natural to invite professionals to give opinions. Therefore, Zhao Fei was really uneasy because he did not know whether the catapult could be built quickly. At the same time, he also did not know how long the catapult would be after it was built. , whether it can achieve the expected power.
Everything is still unknown, so Zhao Fei obviously does not dare to promise anything easily. And Cao Cao is obviously a very sensible person, and he obviously will not rush Zhao Fei. Otherwise, he will just be a coward for a few days. , this had no impact on Cao Cao at all.
In the next few days, Zhao Fei became busy. Although he was only a second-hand swordsman, he had obviously been overestimated by the myth. There was no way, the reason why he said this was based on facts.
After all, both the stirrups and Zhao's repeating crossbows were in the hands of Zhao Fei, so he, the client, naturally had no time to relax. And Zhao Fei obviously spent a lot of money to defeat Cao Jun. He worked day and night. Gathering together with a group of carpenters, the purpose is to put the catapult into service in the shortest possible time.
Hard work paid off, and with the unremitting efforts of Zhao Fei and several skilled craftsmen, the first catapult finally appeared in front of Cao Cao. Looking at the catapult made of wood in front of him, Cao Cao obviously doubted its combat effectiveness.
However, when with the efforts of several soldiers, the catapult threw a stone the size of three heads nearly a hundred steps away, Cao Cao was stunned. But the surprise was far more than that, because Zhao Fei said, this It's just that a few people have made some progress based on studying the catapults of their predecessors. This has not yet reached the limit in Zhao Fei's mind.
Because in Zhao Fei's opinion, catapults, a powerful siege weapon, are much sharper than those in front of him. Especially the Western combined catapults, their range is obviously more terrifying, so Zhao Fei has been thinking about it. Working hard.
However, this cannot be solved easily. The counterweight trebuchet is assembled from complex parts, which is obviously beyond Zhao Fei's imagination. But the more this happens, the more Zhao Fei feels that he has to figure it out. .
Since Westerners can develop a counterweighted catapult, why can't Easterners? After all, Easterners are no worse than anyone else, so Zhao Fei is very confident that he can develop a counterweighted catapult. He has great confidence in himself and himself. I have confidence in the craftsmen around me.
