Mengda paced back and forth on the wall of the inner city with his hands behind his back, glancing at the 500-step crossbow placed on the inner city from time to time. There was no need to cover up these sharp weapons that had been exposed, and the time was too short.
, there was no time to build a large number of city defense equipment, so these strong crossbows were put to use. The firing rate of these crossbows was not as fast as that of ordinary repeating crossbows, and they must be used to deal with valuable targets. Naturally, they became the means of sniping the opponent's generals.
Best weapon.
These sharp weapons were originally operated by the shooters of the chariot battalion, but as soon as Meng Da saw these good things, his eyes immediately lit up, and he insisted that his subordinates must operate them regardless of his face.
.If they are operated by the soldiers of the chariot battalion, after this battle is over, these powerful crossbows will naturally be returned to the chariot battalion. However, if they are operated by his subordinates, it will be somewhat inconvenient for Wei Ba to take back these powerful crossbows.
.
Wei Ba was very aware of Meng Da's little thoughts, but at the moment when employing people, he couldn't let go of his children and couldn't let go of the wolf. If it were for these five-hundred-step crossbows, he wouldn't be able to make Meng Da an old fox, so he just turned a blind eye and agreed.
As for how to explain to Zhuge Liang in the future, we can only wait until later. Whether Zhuge Liang can get these murderous weapons back from Meng Da's hands also depends on Zhuge Liang's ability.
Meng Da was very happy to get these powerful crossbows. He placed these powerful crossbows on the walls of the inner city. Although some range was sacrificed, safety was improved. Whether it was Wei's crossbowmen or their thunder chariots,
It's not easy to hit these powerful crossbows.
After several battles, the Wei army strengthened the transformation of its ordnance, and its protective capabilities were also greatly increased. Ordinary crossbows were no longer effective, and the thunderbolt chariot came in handy. When the Shu army attacked the city, a large number of stone bullets were fired into the city.
After Mengda entered the city, he collected these stone bullets. Now his reserve of stone bullets is very sufficient and can be used with confidence.
"Boom!" The gunner swung the wooden hammer and slammed the latch of the Thunderbolt. The huge weight box suddenly sank, and the long wooden tip was thrown into the sky. The stone bullets rushed with a harsh whistling sound.
go.
The gunners stared intently at the stone bullets they fired until the stone bullets fell into the Wei army's position. They estimated the error, immediately issued various commands, and adjusted the counterweight in the direction of the Pili chariot. For a time, various rapid movements
Passwords came and went on the city wall. After a short silence, the thunderbolt chariot began to fire again.
"Bang!" A stone bullet shattered the giant shield of the Wei army's crossbowmen. The giant shield broke into several pieces, sawdust flew, and the crossbowmen hidden behind the giant shield were exposed in front of the Shu army. The Shu army cooperated tacitly.
, wherever there is a flaw, the crossbow chariot will follow up, shooting dozens of crossbow arrows in one breath, leaving the Wei army soldiers with no time to evade. The Wei army has also developed a habit. They do not stare at the crossbow chariot at the top of the city, but stare at the sky.
Once you find a black spot coming towards you, immediately hide to the side to avoid getting hurt as much as possible.
But in this way, their threat to the city head was greatly weakened. Although Sima Yi arranged for two thousand crossbowmen, the arrows fired were still not as dense as the city head, and the cover for the attacking soldiers was far from enough. Because of this, Meng
Da was able to calmly mobilize some of the Thunderbolt Chariots and focus on attacking the Wei army's siege vehicles.
"Bang!" "Bang!" Stone bombs continued to hit the siege vehicle. The siege vehicle shook violently, and pieces of protective wooden boards were shattered. Rockets tied with igniters accurately shot through the holes.
It shot into the interior of the siege vehicle, billowing smoke and causing bursts of chaotic screams.
More arrows were fired, and a siege vehicle burst into flames. The Wei army soldiers inside were choked and could not bear it, so they could only escape from it in embarrassment. They were sent off by the sharp arrows of the Shu army, and they were greeted by the sharp arrows of the Shu army.
The guards battalion supervising the battle. Soldiers were cut to the ground one after another. The remaining people were forced to return to the battlefield, boarded another siege vehicle, and continued to fight under the rain of arrows and stone bullets.
Approaching the city.
The battle unfolded amidst the whistling of arrows and the screams of the injured soldiers. The battle was fierce, and even the supervisory team who were two hundred steps away from the city wall felt great pressure. The powerful crossbows equipped by the Shu army fired from time to time.
The two giant arrows, which were like synchronized spears, were powerful enough to pierce through heavy shields. Even wearing iron armor could not block a blow. After several guards battalion officers supervising the battle were shot and killed, Sima Yi had no choice but to order the supervising team to fight again.
Retreat a hundred steps to avoid the range of those powerful crossbows.
As the supervisory team retreated, the morale of the Wei army was once again frustrated, and their attacks became increasingly weak. The Wei army's attack seemed lively, but it was unable to make effective progress. Seeing this, the Shu army at the head of the city became more and more successful in fighting.
, while the Wei army below the city became increasingly frustrated.
Master Sima looked at the gradually weakening morale and frowned.
"Father, if this continues, how can we possibly break the city?"
Sima Yi looked at the battlefield in the distance indifferently, and said calmly: "The Shu army defends the city with five or six thousand people, and our army attacks the city with 20,000 people. There is a huge gap in the weapons between the two sides. Do you think it is possible to break the city?"
Master Sima sighed unwillingly. "Then we are just going to attack tepidly and become a partial army?"
"What's wrong with working for His Majesty the Emperor?" Sima Yi narrowed his eyes and replied casually.
After the dangerous situation of an arrow piercing the clouds last time, Sima Yi withdrew the command platform to a place nearly 600 steps away from the city wall. It was safe, but he could not clearly see the situation in front of the formation. Even if he had enough eyesight, he could only
He can see a little blurry shadow. If he can't see clearly, he will naturally be unable to command effectively and make timely adjustments according to the situation. In this case, even if he is unwilling to be a partial teacher, he has no choice but to give
It is not a shame for the emperor to be a partial teacher and he comforts himself.
Wei Ba watched at the top of the city for a while and saw that the Wei army's attack had no effect and that Meng Da was also fighting easily. Then he felt relieved, said something to Meng Da, turned around and left the south gate, and came to the Han River.
On the building boat.
As soon as he saw Wei Ba, Feng Jin immediately came up to him: "Ziyu, when will we go into battle?"
Wei Ba glanced at him: "Who do you want to hit?"
Feng Jin was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Ziyu, aren't you asking questions knowingly? Whether they are Wei people or Wu people, I want to fight them all. However, the people I want to fight the most are the Wu people."
Wei Ba grinned helplessly. These young people did not have a big picture vision. They paid more attention to their personal vendettas. They would fight Wu Jun more energetically than Wei Jun. If he didn't still have some prestige among them and could suppress them, I'm afraid.
The Wu-Shu alliance was destroyed long ago, how could we wait until now? Speaking of which, he dug holes to bury Sun Quan and Lu Xun, which was also in line with public opinion. With people like Feng Jin in the army, there can be no real alliance between Wu and Shu.
"Wen Ju, don't worry. We will have a chance to fight against the Wu people and let you take revenge." Wei Ba paused: "But not now. Not only can we not attack them now, but we also have to help them. Do you understand?
"
Feng Jin's face darkened, and he nodded reluctantly: "Ziyu, don't worry, I won't mess around."
"I just believe that you won't mess around, so I passed by you." Wei Ba slowed down his expression, smiled slightly, and glanced at Feng Jin: "Wenju, don't worry, I will give it to you sooner or later.
Lu Xun and the others dug a big pit and buried them all."
Only then did Feng Jin turn from worry to joy, and started to smile.
Wei Ba crossed the Han River and came to Xiangyang City. The battle at Xiangyang City was even more intense than that at Fancheng. Lu Xun had been commanding the army to attack the city for several days. The dark red bloodstains on the walls of Xiangyang City were like giant earthworms.
, winding down, it looks shocking. The city wall is covered with dense arrows, which looks like it has grown a layer of hair. Under the city, corpses are scattered everywhere, and ruined ladders are sieving the city.
The car was emitting smoke, silently telling the horror of the war.
Wei Ba came to Lu Xun's podium and saw the girl named Ming Zhu at a glance. But now she was wearing a military uniform, pretending to be a handsome man, standing quietly behind Lu Xun. Lu Lan held on to the railing, looking far away
Looking at the situation of the siege, I sighed with emotion from time to time, but did not notice the arrival of Wei Ba.
Lu Xun wore a full set of fine fish-scale armor, and each armor blade was polished to a discernible shine. His armor pieces were not painted with black paint like common armor, but with a layer of white paint, which looked very plain.
Coupled with his elegant face, he has a graceful demeanor without any fuss, but he has a certain calmness.
"Wei Junjun, how is the situation in Fancheng?" Seeing Wei Ba walking up, Lu Xun turned his face and asked calmly.
"As long as there is sufficient food, Fancheng will not be destroyed before Xiangyang." Wei Ba replied with a smile. He really didn't like Lu Xun's expression of wisdom. The more Lu Xun wanted to be serious, the less serious he was.
There was nothing Lu Xun could do against him anyway.
"Can you please stop being such a philistine?" Lu Xun was helpless. Facing a person like Wei Ba, he really had no choice. If it were his subordinates, no one would dare to smile playfully as long as his face sank, but Wei Ba was not like that.
His subordinates did not accept his behavior at all. The more serious he was, the more rogue Wei Ba became.
"I can't help it. People are like iron and rice is like steel. If you don't eat even one meal, you'll get hungry." Wei Ba glanced at Lu Mingzhu and chuckled, "Of course, a wonderful person like Miss Mingzhu can do it."
Eat less and stay in shape."
Lu Mingzhu frowned and turned his face, pretending not to hear what Wei Ba said. Lu Xun told Wei Ba her name out of courtesy, but Wei Ba kept mentioning her name at every turn.
, but it was a kind of unscrupulous teasing, which made her very uncomfortable.
"When will your chariot battalion come over?" Lu Xun calmly interrupted Wei Ba and asked straight to the point.
"The chariot camp will arrive soon." Wei Ba blinked. "General, are you going to attack without waiting for King Wu to arrive?"
Lu Xun snorted softly: "The military situation is urgent. The sooner we capture it, the sooner we can rest assured."
Wei Ba laughed, a very strange smile. He looked at Lu Xun and shook his head slowly: "General Lu, we have something to say beforehand. My chariot battalion only provides cover and will not go to the front line to fight." He
After a pause, he added a superfluous explanation: "Every one of my shooters is precious, and there is no room for any mistakes."
Lu Lan turned her head and happened to hear Wei Ba's words, and suddenly became angry: "Then what do you need?"
Wei Ba shrugged: "It doesn't matter. If you think we are useless, we don't have to come."
Lu Lan was speechless. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
