When Li Yan heard this, he suddenly realized... Yes, what's the difficulty of siegeing the city? If it is true that as Wei Ba said, if there are thousands of Thunderbolt vehicles launched together, what kind of city wall cannot be captured? In the face of the absolute gap in strength,
No conspiracy is irresistible, and no city wall can stop the pace of progress.
He glanced at Zhuge Ke and others with a pale face and smiled. Wei Ba was not only attacking Wancheng, but also attacking the hearts of the king and ministers of Wu. Thousands of thunderbolt chariots bombarded Wancheng.
The warning is the king and minister of Wu. This kind of siege method looks simple and crude, but the deterrence is more direct and effective than any trick.
Looking at the expressions of Hu Zong and others at this moment, you already know how good the effect is.
...
"Thousands of thunderbolt vehicles fired stone bombs together?" Sun Quan was shocked and his blue eyes were rounded. "Wei Ba really said that, he was not arrogant, right?"
"I don't think it looks like it." Zhuge Ke shook his head in a little frustrated, losing one after another in the battle with Wei Ba. He now also hopes that Wei Ba is bragging and will only look at Wei Ba's jokes at that time. But he started from reason
, I think Wei Ba shouldn't be exaggerating, he might really plan to attack Wancheng like this. "They need us to provide food and grass to support it now, and it will definitely not last long. A quick battle and decision should be their best choice."
Sun Quan slowly relaxed, stroked his purple beard, and pondered for a moment: "So, he is demonstrating to me."
"I also think so."
Sun Quan let out a long breath and his heart was palpitations. He had seen the power of the thunder car with his own eyes. When he attacked Jiangxia, he only used more than 500 thunder carts, which formed an absolute advantage.
The supply of stone bullets has seriously dragged down, and he can win more easily. If Wei Ba can really use thousands of thunderbolt vehicles to fire together and ensure sufficient supply of stone bullets, it will be no difficulty to conquer Wancheng.
It is not difficult to launch more than a thousand thunderbolt cars, but more than a thousand thunderbolt cars need to launch the stone bombs together, which is definitely a number that can make people feel numb if you think about it. The time for a thunderbolt car to be launched is about twenty to thirty.
In other words, a thunderbolt car can fire nearly a thousand stone bombs a day and one night, and one thousand is one million. If multiple stone bombs are fired at a time, then more stone bombs are needed.
How many people does Wei Ba need to keep up with the supply speed of stone bombs? Or, his stone bomb manufacturing technology that he has never been willing to transfer to Wu is so magical, which can meet the stone bomb needs of more than a thousand Thunderbolt cars?
When Sun Quan thought of the scene of more than a thousand thunderbolt cars firing volleys, he couldn't help but shivered, and a thought came to his mind: Stay calm and never mess with Wei Ba's true strength before figuring out Wei Ba's true strength.
"Ask Fei Yi to see if they can supply some stone bullets to us and help the general of the auxiliary country capture Kunyang."
"Here." Zhang Wen responded and bowed to retreat. He could hear that Sun Quan was really a little timid this time.
...
Li Yan, Ma Su, Meng Da and others sat in groups, watching Wei Ba draw a siege diagram on paper.
Wei Ba pressed the drawing with paperweight, clapped his hands, washed his hands with the copper basin brought by his personal guard, and then said: "General, the water circumference on the southeast of Wancheng is circling the city, which can be used to transport stone bombs.
There is Dushan, and there is low hill in the west. Although Dushan is high, it is too far from the city and it is inconvenient to transport. Although the low hill cannot be used as a position for the Pili chariot, the mountain is relatively stable and there is Meixi River boat, which is most suitable.
Thunderbolt chariots are placed. So, I plan to place more than a thousand Thunderbolt chariots in the west corner, and use a thunder strike to quickly destroy the city defense of the Wei army and open the way for the general."
Li Yan stared at the picture and pondered for a long time: "Can you guarantee that the thunder car behind can also hit the city?"
Wei Ba smiled. Although Li Yan's surname is annoying, he still has his eyes. Thousands of thunderbolts set up their formations, which is a large area. Even after his careful arrangement, the attack position was arranged in the southwest corner of the city.
, making full use of the terrain and attacking a corner from three sides, but the farthest thunderbolt car is nearly 500 steps away from the siege, and ordinary thunderbolt carts cannot hit that far.
"General, don't worry, this is the latest Thunderbolt car. It is not an ordinary stone bullet, but a hollow pottery bullet, which contains a fire-induced object. It is lighter in weight and can be hit farther." Wei Ba took it from the side
A fist-sized pot was delivered to Li Yan: "This kind of pottery bullet will break after it falls to the ground, and the enemy can no longer use it, and the fire-induced object inside can spontaneously ignite. The general is not careful to open the can, but the inside will be
Take out the things and take a look.”
Li Yan was very surprised. He looked at Wei Ba and carefully opened the seal. The seal was not very tight, probably because Wei Ba was specifically for him to show it. He just opened the seal and took out a ball of flocculent.
A faint white smoke emerged, and then it turned into an open flame. While igniting the floc, it also illuminated Li Yan's eyes.
A stimulating smell then filled the tent. Li Yan and others were choked and hurriedly covered their noses, but found that Wei Ba had already covered his nose well at some point and looked at them with a wicked smile.
"Ziyu, you... cough cough, cough cough!" Ma Su pointed at Wei Ba while coughing, and his snot and tears flew together.
"I'm so sorry." Wei Ba said apologetically: "In order to give you an intuitive understanding, I didn't tell you in advance."
"Sir!" Meng Da laughed and scolded, "It's better to remind us. My breath is short, and this choke will kill people."
Wei Ba hurriedly walked behind Meng Da to help him caress his back, and at the same time, he asked someone to open the tent to breathe. Meng Da is old and has mild asthma. Winter is the most difficult time for him. After choking, he is indeed a little embarrassed.
The tent was in chaos. Not to mention Meng Da, even Li Yan, who had always been serious, was a little disobedient. Ma Su, who was usually very careful in appearance, no longer had the demeanor of going on. For a moment, laughter and scolding were heard. Wei Ba had to hold his hands and keep hunching.
He said good things, like a junior who made a mistake.
Li Yan finally recovered and glared at Wei Ba, and couldn't help laughing. "Yes, with such a sharp weapon, Sima Yi has a pot of drink. Ziyu, where did this sharp weapon come from?"
"It was newly developed by Jiaozhou Academy." Wei Ba said: "I don't know very well what it is. It seems that there are some poisons. The general must also know that there are many poisonous miasma in the Jiaozhou area, so it is not difficult to find these things.
. ""
"Well, good things, good things." Li Yan's confidence increased greatly and patted his thighs: "With Ziyu's help, I have great confidence in taking Wancheng. Tell me, what other good ideas are there."
Wei Ba spread his hands: "There is a general in charge of command, and Ma Changshi is full of wit. Meng Zhendong has been through the battlefield for a long time. What else is there to worry about the general? As for me, I am a good military officer for the general, and I just need to ensure that you have enough food and sleep well.
. ""
Li Yan smiled and was very satisfied with Wei Ba's tactfulness. If everything was done by Wei Ba, what use is he the chief general? He turned his eyes to Ma Su and Meng Da and said, "Zi Yu has done it for us."
Be fully prepared, and next, if you have any good suggestions, please tell me quickly.”
Ma Su wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief and sniffed: "Ziyu, you used to fight with a fierce dog and defeat the tiger and leopard cavalry. I thought it was you who used the most ingenious killing move to help me. Now it seems that you still do the best.
The proud killer move was left to the General of the Cavalry."
Wei Ba shrugged awkwardly, Li Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled.
...
Li Yan immediately ordered the construction of a mound of soil under Wancheng, which was a routine operation for siege, and it was nothing strange. Sima Yi did not take it seriously, but just sent crossbowmen to block and harass him like routine. The Shu Han army had giant shields and
The siege carts were used as cover. Although the Wei army's shooting at the top of the city caused some casualties, it did not have much effect. They could only watch the mounds of soil rise one by one.
When Li Yan was building a pile of soil, ships came from the south along the water, loaded with stone bullets and parts of thunderbolt chariots. Almost every ship drew a lot of water. Fortunately, there were no strong winds and waves in the water.
There were warships leading up to it, and these supply ships were traveling quite smoothly.
Wei Ba set up a track on the preset position, which stretched into the middle of the river. At the end were tall pulley cranes, and the wheels on the crane were driven by water trucks. The supply ships docked on the cranes in turn.
Under, open the roof and hang the hook on the heavy bamboo baskets. Someone closes the water truck. The water truck is pushed by the river. The heavy bamboo basket will be lifted up and installed on the small car on the track, and then
Two strong men dragged toward the position.
With the help of various machinery, the labor intensity has been greatly reduced, and the position of the Pili Car gradually took shape at a dazzling speed.
Wei Ba sat on the hill and looked at the lively construction site, feeling happy.
The design and installation of these machinery is not his credit. He no longer needs to do it himself. If he has any ideas, as long as he arranges it, he will have a group of craftsmen to design and manufacture it. He feels that he is a bit like the legendary leader Qiao, who is only responsible for creativity.
, he has a large group of capable engineers who help him realize those imaginative ideas.
Watching ideas become reality and about to change history, as an engineer who once claimed to be a luminary and technical mate, it is so intoxicating, more satisfying than winning the world.
Attacking Wancheng was the last major battle for Li Yan to send troops, so he certainly would not show his skills. Therefore, after Wei Ba took on the task of the Pili Chariot position, Li Yan took over all the remaining tasks, and Wei Ba did not need to take action again.
Yes. Wei Ba was very satisfied with this result, but he was satisfied, which did not mean that others were satisfied.
For example, Wei Wu was not very satisfied. He came to Nanyang for the sake of the war. The previous few battles were very satisfying and they were in the mood, but he had to watch the last battle. He was really unwilling to accept it. But he was the most unwilling
But it was Sun Luban. So far, although Zhao Tong successfully mobilized the Wei army, causing the confrontation between the Wei and Wu armies in Yuzhou, creating opportunities for Wei Ba and Li Yan, he has not yet established himself and can truly make him promoted continuously.
How could she be satisfied with her outstanding military achievements at level 3?
Now, she came to ask Wei Ba for advice again. However, she wisely chose the wife's route and tried to please Guan Feng.
