Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 158 The Catapult

Chapter 158 The Catapult (Please Brothers Support)

I saw the siege equipment called 'flying stones' or 'throwing stones' being pushed to the front of the formation.

Three thousand elite black-armored troops stood in front of them, their heavy shields and armor gleaming with cold light all proved that they were an elite army.

In this era, soldiers who can wear heavy armor are absolutely rare. Soldiers in the army who can wear a pair of leather armor are already elite. long gun.

When they saw the black armored army in front of the army, Yan Liang and Gao Lan looked at each other in shock and blurted out: "Trapped in the camp!"

They are very clear about the army under the command of their old opponent Lu Bu. If it is a cavalry, it is the famous Bingzhou wolf cavalry on the frontier, but as far as the infantry is concerned, there is only an army called "Zhanzheng" trained by Lu Bu's general Gao Shun.

The three thousand camps were indifferently placed at the forefront, with shield soldiers in front, and a rhubarb crossbow with a handle in the rear was even more stringed, and the two wings of the Bingzhou army were guarded by thousands of riders.

After seeing this scene, Yan Liang and Gao Lan took a deep breath, unable to go out of the camp to destroy their catapults, not to mention the elite trapped in the camp, but the big yellow crossbow and the cavalry with two wings, they knew deeply , can only stick to it.

Huha~huha~
The heavy roar echoed in front of the army formation. I saw three thousand soldiers with bare upper body and strong bodies pushing their catapults to the expected location excitedly. Most of them were driving ox carts or pulling vehicles wooden cart.

The car was full of huge boulders, and the naked upper body was already sweating profusely as they drove all the way, but the spirit gave the enemy a sense of oppression.

It took a lot of time to place the catapults and cross the stream. When they saw that they were all in place, Guo Jia, under Shuai's banner, couldn't help shaking his head slightly, "Xu You is too cautious, and he didn't even have the slightest idea to go out to destroy the catapults." .”

Lu Bu on the side shook his head slightly, "It's not that Xu You is being cautious, but that Yuan Shao has the general situation and doesn't need to take risks like us."

Han Fu on the side kept wiping the sweat from his forehead, and looked at Lu Bu hesitantly, but Lu Bu's domineering figure made him dare not speak at all, and finally asked Guo Jia in a low voice helplessly.

"Mr. Guo, how many soldiers and horses are behind the army?"

Responding to Han Fu was Guo Jia's sunny smile and white teeth, "Hey, don't worry, there are 3000 people in the camp."

Hiss~ For a moment, Han Fu heard it as if he had heard it wrong, and looked at Guo Jia in disbelief, then slowly turned around with a stiff neck, seeing Lu Bu's domineering figure, thud~ He swallowed deeply.

3000 people, a camp as big as yours, as long as 2000 people come, they will definitely rush into the camp and burn everything.

This time he finally saw what it means to die and live, or he saw what it means to be a lunatic.

When Guo Jia, with a sunny smile on his face, talked about 3000 people, he seemed casual and relaxed, but his heart was full of dignity.

A big gamble, if he wins the gamble, then Lu Bu will be able to occupy the general power like Yuan Shao, and have enough background to compete for hegemony in Jizhou and the world.

Losing a bet is the same as not betting in Guo Jia's eyes. If you don't gamble, you will also be slowly consumed to death. It is better to gamble.

It can be said that in this gamble, Lu Bu put all his wealth on his hands. Once he lost, he would retreat to Bingzhou and wait for his death. If he won, he would be able to eat a piece of meat from Yuan Shao's huge wealth and enrich himself.

The huge catapults appeared under Yuan Jun's eyelids at a glance. The huge objects they had never seen before made them full of curiosity.

Wow~ At this moment, a group of soldiers appeared on the camp, carrying a huge shield with anxious faces, and Gao Lan even shouted anxiously: "Raise the shield!"

There were giant shields, and more shields with huge wooden door panels. When the soldiers held the huge shields in their hands and covered themselves with shadows, they instantly felt relieved and felt a sense of security.

Huh~ Guo Jia let out a sigh when he saw the enemy's actions, then his eyes flashed with admiration, and he sighed: "Xu You is very knowledgeable, you really are a great talent."

When Guo Jia said this, there was a sour sense of jealousy in Guo Jia's tone, and his erudition corresponded to the fact that the other party had huge books for him to read, and when he recalled the experience of studying, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

In terms of knowledge, a poor family will never be able to compare with a family, even if he is Guo Jia, otherwise how could he take the road of counselor.

As a civil servant under Lu Bu's command, he is not as good as Chen Gong and Jia Xu in terms of government affairs, and Di Renjie, who he knows well, is not as good as him. This is all because of knowledge.

There are no huge books for him to read. Jia Xu and Di Renjie are also from poor families, but they all have sufficient experience, and their age is also an advantage.

As the enemy army prepared, the catapults in front of the formation were already in place, and the three thousand naked upper-body strong men in front of the formation were sweating profusely, panting heavily, and their trouser legs were even wet. The catapults and wooden carts used too much physical strength to cross the stream.

From this aspect, it can be seen that Xu You has experienced experience and camped not far from the stream. If the enemy army came in large numbers, the stream would be like a scimitar, dividing the army into two.

Hot smoke was rising from Yuan Jun's camp, and at the same time, there was a foul smell. Yan Liang, who was wearing heavy armor, looked back and saw that the cauldron had already started to boil, and felt inexplicably relieved.

And the Bingzhou Army was all ready, Lu Bu nodded slightly after seeing this scene, and said in a deep voice: "Beat the drum!"

dong dong dong~
In an instant, the sound of beating drums shook the sky, making the faces of the soldiers of the two armies even more condensed, and the battle was about to begin!

crunch~
Three thousand bare-chested brawny men sweated profusely and began to carry stones onto the catapult, and then dozens of brawny men beside the catapult started winching, and the sound of grinding their teeth came to their ears.

The moment Gao Shun at the front heard the sound of the drum beating, he directly raised the spear in his hand and shouted in a deep voice, "Yu!"

Yu!Yu!Yu!
The thunderous voice reverberated between the heaven and the earth, and the faces of the three thousand trapped in the camp shouted angrily, and the huge shields were held tightly, guarding the front.

It took a full month for hundreds of catapults to finally reveal their fangs buried in the dust of history to the world.

"emission!"

As soon as the order was issued, each of the strong men swung the hammer fiercely, and the mechanism locked by the winch was triggered in an instant, buzzing ~ a burst of humming echoed in the air.

After seeing the scene in front of them, the soldiers of the two armies looked shocked. The Bingzhou army was shocked by the terrifying power of the catapult, while Yuan Jun showed a look of fear after being shocked.

rumbling~
Countless huge boulders fell from the sky one after another, and the moment Yan Liang and Xu You saw the launch of the catapult, their expressions were extremely ugly.

Countless boulders the size of chests fell from the sky, and then the heavy sound continued to echo in the ears of the soldiers of the two armies. When Yan Liang looked at it, his pupils widened even more.

Hundreds of boulders fell from the sky, and most of them hit the camp not far away, but there were also a few fish that slipped through the net or had a relatively long range, and fell on the camp.

ahh~
The screams kept echoing in his ears, Xu You was dumbfounded, is the catapult so powerful?In the records, there are no sharp flying stones and dark clouds covering the top, which also shows that they are all small stones. Why are they all so big.

 Sapo rolls and asks for all kinds of support from the brothers. The first update started today. The number of updates today depends on the results. The seventh update agreed yesterday, and the tenth update broke out.
