The purpose of Wei Ba's attack on Jianzhang Palace was to frighten these powerful people in Guanzhong and prevent them from acting rashly. For this day, he had been preparing for more than a month and smashed the 300-year-old Jinggan Tower into a pile of rotten wood. This was just the beginning.
, is by no means the end.
Next, Wei Ba ordered more than fifty Pili Chariots to be launched together. He originally prepared a hundred Pili Chariots, but Cao Zhen arrived too quickly, so he asked Zhao Yun to take away fifty. Otherwise, this scene would happen again.
Quite spectacular.
More than fifty Pili vehicles fired continuously, sending stone bombs one after another into the Jianzhang Palace, stirring up bursts of dust. The scene was shocking and exciting. The recruits who had just entered the battle and were still a little nervous saw this scene.
Everyone was beaming with excitement. The soldiers of Cao Wei in Jianzhang Palace were shocked by this scene. They panicked. Some went to look for Yan Fei in the ruins of Jingqian Tower, and some looked for a place to hide to avoid being attacked by these sharp
Hit by stone bullets. The power of these stone bullets is so amazing. Not only did it collapse the Jinggan Building, any object hit by it will suffer serious damage. If a person is hit, it will be even more terrible, no matter how strong it is.
The armor was no different from the thinnest silk in front of these stone bullets.
Yan Fei crawled out of the pile of wood in disgrace, looking at the stone bullets flying in the sky and the soldiers hiding in Tibet. He didn't bother to brush off the dust on his body and shouted loudly to stabilize the morale of the soldiers. He shouted at the panicked soldiers.
The soldiers of Wei said that it was not easy to make stone bombs and the Shu Han army could not hold out for long. Once they entered a siege, the weakness of the Shu Han army would be exposed.
Regardless of the danger of being hit by stone bullets, Yan Fei ran around on the city wall to comfort people. His movements immediately attracted Wei Ba's attention. Wei Ba immediately ordered a medium-range repeating crossbow with a range of 200 steps and a crossbow cart with a range of 500 steps.
The launch started, and the target was very clear, which was Yan Fei running on the city wall.
With a single order, Yan Fei became a veritable target of public criticism. Wherever he went, he would be targeted by ballistas, with arrows following like rain. The casualties of the guards around Yan Fei increased rapidly. Although they raised
Wearing shields and exquisite iron armor, they were still unable to withstand the dense and powerful rain of arrows, and they fell to the arrows one by one, screaming.
Yan Fei was shocked. He turned and glanced at the tower of Weiyang Palace. Just as Wei Ba knew that he was on the Jingqian Tower, he also knew that Wei Ba was on that tower. He went up to the Jingqian Tower to take command just to compete with Wei Ba.
He boosted his morale, but what frustrated him was that as soon as the two sides fought, Wei Ba used a thunderbolt car to collapse Jingqian Building. If he hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, he would have almost died in Jingqian Building.
He was lucky enough to escape from Jingqian Tower, but the situation did not improve much. He was chased by the arrows of the Shu Han army and had nowhere to hide. Everywhere he went, he became a place where the Shu Han army's powerful crossbows wreaked havoc. Countless people
The soldiers became victims, and he became the scourge that all Wei soldiers could avoid.
As the casualties of the guards around him increased, Yan Fei did not dare to run on the city wall anymore. He also hid in the city tower. However, hiding in the city tower did not mean safety. Arrow rain could not penetrate the solid city tower.
However, the stone bullets from the Thunderbolt Chariot were able to penetrate easily. Shortly after Yan Fei hid in the tower, a dense barrage of stone bullets followed, leaving the tower riddled with holes and flying tiles.
Yan Fei felt aggrieved. It felt very bad to be chased and beaten. He also wanted to fight back, but it was obvious that the powerful crossbows he owned were dwarfed by the thunderbolt chariots and crossbow chariots of the Shu Han army, and he was suppressed.
Unable to raise his head, the arrows he fired were sparse, better than nothing. Although the crossbowmen on the city wall fired more arrows, they were unable to break through the Shu Han army's protection due to the range, and ended up being just a mere formality.
Yan Fei realized that the gap between the two sides in ordnance was too big. Wei Ba's reputation for being good at dexterity was not in vain. His strength in ordnance was not comparable to Wei Ba's. If he continued like this, he would only waste arrows and weapons.
The lives of soldiers have no practical meaning.
Yan Fei immediately ordered to stop meaningless shooting, find a favorable hiding place, and wait for the Shu Han army to attack. He believed that Wei Ba could build a large number of sharp ordnance, but he could not turn the recruited recruits into real elites in a short period of time.
, when the hand-to-hand combat begins, his elite men can gain the upper hand and reverse the unfavorable situation at hand.
The counterattack inside the city gradually weakened, and the morale of the Shuhan army outside the city became stronger. Flags were fluttering, drums were rumbling, the soldiers were in high spirits, and their cheers shook the sky.
At the top of the city, Wei Ba was smiling, but he was a little nervous. Yan Feiyan stopped fighting, not because he was timid, but because he realized the gap in weapons between the two sides, so he gave up this confrontation and saved his hope for the final hand-to-hand battle.
.This is precisely his weakness. He can train the newly recruited farmers into skilled gunners and crossbowmen in a month, but he cannot train them into elites who can truly fight in battle, not to mention his military strength.
It's not enough, once it enters hand-to-hand combat, the more than a thousand elite Wei troops under Yan Fei will be like sharp swords, cutting his battle formation into pieces.
If Zhao Yun was still there, and more than 10,000 people were still there, he could trap Yan Fei to death with his advantage in numbers, but now he only has 5,000 people, and the 5,000 people have almost no recruits who have been in battle.
Wei Ba was worried in his heart, but his face didn't show anything. He looked at those Guanzhong tycoons with pale faces, knowing that even if he didn't break through Jianzhang Palace, he would have achieved half of his goal. Let these Guanzhong tycoons see his own strength, which would be important for stability.
Guanzhong has great benefits. Now he is standing on the pyre and dancing. If he doesn't suppress the fire that is about to stir in these people's hearts, these people may become his nightmare at any time.
Of course, it's not enough now. These people are all human beings, and they won't really lower their heads until they are convinced.
"Everyone, how is our army's Thunderbolt Chariot?" Wei Ba asked with a smile.
"The Thunderbolt Chariot of the Joining Army is really sharp. It not only shoots far, but also has high accuracy." A middle-aged man with a thin face held the railing and said calmly: "I just don't know if the Joining Army has prepared enough stone bullets and how long it can last."
Prolonged attack."
Wei Ba laughed: "May I ask your Excellency what your name is?"
The middle-aged man cupped his hands and bowed to salute: "I don't dare. My surname is Jin and my name is Xu. I belong to the Jin family in Jingzhao."
Wei Ba was stunned for a moment. The Jingzhao Jin family was indeed a wealthy family, but this wealthy family fell into decline ten years ago. How could anyone be invited? Did Zhao Su and Zhang Wen use him as a cover?
Seeing that Wei Ba was puzzled, Xiao Nuo thought that he didn't know about the Jingzhao Jin family, so he quickly stepped forward and explained in a low voice: "This Jin Yi is Jin Yi's younger brother, and his service has been eliminated. However, Jin Yi died in the Han Dynasty, Guanzhong
People take great care of the Jin family, so..."
Wei Ba suddenly realized. He had inquired about the big families in Guanzhong before and knew that more than ten years ago, the Jin family was considered a big family in Guanzhong. It was said that it was descended from the famous minister Jin Rixi of the Western Han Dynasty. In the two hundred years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, two thousand stones were not uncommon.
. However, more than ten years ago, Jin Yi, Ji Ben, Geng Ji and others plotted to assassinate Cao Cao. The Jin family was killed by three clans and almost uprooted, so he did not expect anyone from the Jin family to appear here.
It stands to reason that since the Jin family was defeated because of the Han Dynasty, they naturally hated Cao Wei deeply, but why didn't he take the initiative to serve before and only spoke up now, and why was he so suspicious?
"Deran, does the Jin family have a grudge against me, a big man?"
Xiao Nuo understood what Wei Ba meant and said with a wry smile: "The Jin family is loyal to the Han Dynasty, so how could they have enmity with the Han Dynasty? But he had enmity with the late emperor."
Wei Ba didn't understand it for a while, and it took a while before he turned this corner.
"When the late emperor took over the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River, Jin Yi's father Jin Xuan was the governor of Wuling and died in the battle." Xiao Nuo's voice was as low as a mosquito's cry, but Wei Ba still understood it. The Jin family was loyal to the Han Dynasty, but not loyal to the Han Dynasty.
It is the Han Dynasty in Luoyang, and not only is there no loyalty to the Han Dynasty in Chengdu, but there is also enmity.
So you can imagine how embarrassing it is for the Jin family to appear here.
Wei Ba pretended not to know how the Jin family was feeling, and said with a calm smile: "What you hear is false, but what you see is true. Your Excellency, you can see how much reserves I have. How about it?"
Jin Xu was a little surprised after hearing this, but he still nodded: "Then we'll see."
Jin Xu's problem is exactly what the powerful people in Guanzhong are concerned about. The thunderbolt chariot is sharp, but it is not easy to polish the stone bullets. To polish a stone into such a standard round stone bullet, the manpower required is very staggering. Wei Ba
Even if tens of thousands of people are gathered, it is not easy to prepare these stone bullets. Without stone bullets, no matter how sharp the Thunderbolt Chariot is, it is still a pile of waste. The same is true for stone bullets, and the same is true for feather arrows. Such a dense arrow array,
Without a large reserve of feather arrows, Wei Ba would not be able to hold on for long.
Without the Thunderbolt Chariot and the Lianyu Chariot, what else could Wei Ba rely on?
Wei Ba's calmness made the powerful people in Guanzhong wonder. Judging from his confident look, could he have sufficient reserves?
As Wei Ba said, seeing is believing. The Thunderbolt Chariot and the Liannu Chariot roared for a whole day, and they gradually stopped roaring until the sunset. After a day of intensive attacks, the Jianzhang Palace was already in a mess, with arrows like grass.
, stones and bullets were scattered everywhere. The killed and injured Wei soldiers were rolling around among the ruins and wailing, their moans drifting in the night wind, like ghosts crying.
Yan Fei walked out of his hiding place and looked at the Shu Han army's position outside the city with a heavy heart.
Wei Ba was in a relaxed mood at the moment. He took the lead to walk down the city tower and took the powerful men from Guanzhong who had watched the battle for a day to have a meal. The affairs in the city were taken care of by the trusted Wei Jiawu soldiers. The forty Wei Jiawu soldiers that his father and Mrs. Zhang gave him back then
Half of the soldiers are now taking on important responsibilities. Zhu Yi is stationed at Xiwu, Tang Qianyu is the commander of the cavalry battalion, and Chen Xiang is stationed at Tongguan. It is said that his father also values him very highly. Most of the others have also become intermediate officers such as captains.
The officer became his right-hand man and firmly controlled the newly recruited troops.
Wei Ba prepared a banquet that was neither rich nor simple, and invited several powerful figures from Guanzhong and Tianshi Dao to have a meal. During the banquet, everyone slowly began to get acquainted with each other and discussed some of the day's wars.
The mood is different. The powerful people in Guanzhong are more afraid, but the Tianshi Daoists are overjoyed. Wei Ba has such strength, which proves that their investment is correct. As long as they rely on Wei Ba closely, occupying Guanzhong is completely
It is possible that in the future, it is a good choice to move back to Hanzhong or settle in Guanzhong and rely on Wei Ba's power to become a powerful man in Guanzhong.
After drinking for three rounds, Wei Ba stood up, raised his glass and said with a smile: "During the day, Lord Jin once asked me if I had enough reserves of stone bullets and feather arrows. I believe that Lord Jin is not the only one who cares about this issue. I’m afraid they are all very concerned about it. In order to allow you to sleep peacefully tonight, I have decided to invite you to visit our army’s workshop after dinner and see our army’s reserve of stone bullets and arrows.”
