Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 715 Combined Catapult

Xi Shan.

Shepherd's camp.

In the camp, Mu Jing was wearing a long robe and was playing chess with Chen Gong.

On the chessboard, black and white are vertical and horizontal.

"My lord, why did you let the main force of Zhang Liao's navy fight an uncertain battle?" Chen Gong actually didn't agree with this battle. In his opinion, the most important thing is to fight steadily now and step into Xiangyang step by step. correct.

"Do you think Zhang Liao will lose?"

Mujing's attention is focused on the chessboard. He doesn't like Go very much, but he is practicing chess hard now, in order to be able to play against his father-in-law one day. It doesn't feel good to be abused every day.

"He has no chance of winning!"

Chen Gong said truthfully.

"What will happen if he loses?" Mu Jing asked with a sigh.

"This one……"

Chen Gong held the chess piece in his hand, paused, thought for a while, and said after a while: "Even if he loses, as long as he can bring back the main force, it won't hurt. Xiangyang does need to open up waterways, but it doesn't necessarily depend on the navy , as long as we have warships across the river, we can attack Xiangyang City!"

The main force of the Mu family's three armies is still the army.

"Since that's the case, why not ask them to play a game!"

Mu Jing smiled and said: "Jingping's second army is our navy, I am very concerned about the strength of this navy, for this reason I secretly recruited master shipbuilders in Jiangdong, Jingzhou at a high price, but shipbuilding does not happen overnight At present, we don't have this condition, but the navy still needs to develop, and they have to collide with a powerful navy to train a powerful navy officer. In this battle, I don't care about success or failure!"

"But Jiang Xia Navy is an elite after all!"

Chen Gong also understood what Mu Jing was thinking, but he was still worried: "If Zhang Liao's main force is unable to retreat completely, and Jingping's second army is buried in Tanxi Lake, the situation of our Mu army may become difficult. Woke up!"

"I believe in Zhang Wenyuan!"

Mu Jing said: "Zhang Wenyuan looks like a risky move, but he has his own composure. If he doesn't have enough self-protection ability, he wouldn't dare to use the entire Jingping Second Army's Erlang to fight for his life!"

"If Jingping's second army was on land, I would agree with their combat effectiveness, but on water, I can't think of anything else Zhang Wenyuan can do?" Chen Gong wondered.

"If you want to do good work, you must first sharpen your tools!"

Mu Jing said: "Maybe we can't make ships, but if it comes to making weapons, they definitely can't. The Mingyi Workshop in the Minghou Mansion, not to mention the best in the world, can make weapons that are definitely better than those in Jingzhou! "

After he casually uttered a word, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Zhang Liao's Second Army has only changed a batch of equipment this year, all of which are the latest products of Ming Yi Workshop, and there is also a test product, which is from Ming Yi Workshop. It was made in cooperation with the Academy of Science and Technology, and it is said that it is so powerful that it can break mountains!"

..................................................................

On Tanxi Lake.

The setting sun has passed, and the distant sky has gradually become dark, and the faint night is shrouded bit by bit, as if it wants to swallow the whole world in the abyss.

"What a bunch of mad dogs!"

Standing on the building boat, Chen Jiu's eyes were stern.

His intention was just to test.

But he underestimated the ferocity of the Mu army. Although the warships of the Mu army are not as good as theirs, and the ability of the soldiers to control the warships is far inferior to theirs, the victory lies in the ferocity. The fight is very fierce. As long as you bite, you will be injured Don't let go.

They collided together and fought fiercely.

It was completely beyond his expectations.

But he is not a timid general either. He can see the water combat effectiveness of the Mujun navy, and he has a lot of energy. Whether it is with the tactical deployment or the battleship formation, it is too blunt.

At a glance, he could find ten or eight attack points.

So Chen put his mind to it, released the main force directly, and started fighting, simply eat them directly, even if it costs more, he must leave all these shepherd army warships and soldiers here On the stream and lake.

"Pass my military order, all ministries attack!"

Chen drew his bow and arrow, and a flaming arrow soared into the sky.

This is the military order.

"kill!"

"Jiang Xia's sons and daughters, it's time for us to attack!"

"Light the torches and go on deck!"

"Open the crenel, the archers are ready!"

Warships rushed out of the water stronghold one after another, and the soldiers were even more excited, as if the wolf saw the prey and wanted to eat the prey in front of it.

"All warships, get ready for trebuchets!"

All the officers on the warships of the Jingping Second Army heard the military order.

"Get on the trebuchet!"

"Stone bombs ready!"

You have already started preparations for battleships and even warships.

Because the trebuchets are relatively small, they cannot carry the trebuchets, but the Mingyi Workshop has improved a batch of small trebuchets, which can only drop stone bombs of about ten catties, which are not very threatening to the siege.

However, it is very suitable for the security on the warships. Whether it is the range or the lethality, it is enough to make these warships enhance their combat effectiveness for a generation.

"send!"

Zhang Liao ordered abruptly.

He dared to come in because all the warships under his command were equipped with trebuchets. This time, his fleet's combat power was increased by at least [-]%, and it would definitely be able to fight.

In addition, the stone bombs they fired were also specially modified.

Boom boom boom boom! ! ! ! !
In the night sky, clusters of stone bombs were packed with iron spikes and filled with fiery red tung oil. They fired meteors like flames and fell on the warship of the Jiangxia Navy.

"Tabuchet?"

Chen Jiu's face was ugly. He looked at this scene with a gloomy face: "They only have a few warships. Even if all the battleships are equipped with trebuchets, it is impossible to have so many trebuchets?"

It was clear at a glance how many warships the Mu army had.

"Unless their catapults are also equipped with trebuchets!"

Chen gritted his teeth and muttered to himself.

He really didn't expect this. If there were trebuchets on every warship of the Shepherd Army, the stone bombs fired by more than 100 warships would be too dense and impossible to avoid. This would be too much of a threat to them.

Catapults are different from bows and crossbows. The stone bullets fall soaring into the sky with strong penetrating power. As long as they hit, they will basically open a hole.

Insignificant places can be repaired, but once the hull is penetrated, water will enter.

"Master Captain, we have damaged no less than [-] warships, and three other battleships have also entered the water, and we have begun to lose our ability to keep them. We are now evacuating soldiers!"

After a few rounds of defense, a lieutenant came up and reported in a deep voice.

"Damn!"

Chen Jiu's eyes turned red in an instant, he would never have thought that beating a Mu Jun sailor would cause him such a great injury, it was already very uneconomical.

"Pass my military orders, Chibi and Xia slogans, attack with all your might!"

Chen gave up his heart, and directly dispatched the giant boat.

Now only the big boats can allow them to avoid casualties. No matter how many warships they have, they cannot withstand the power of the stone bombs, but the big boats are not afraid. Their trebuchets are obviously not powerful enough, and the big boats are rampant without fear.

"Yes!"

Several generals took the lead.

The Jiangxia Navy has two large ships, one from Chibi’s dock and one from Xiakou’s dock. They are both three-story high-rise ships with hard hulls. They can hit those warships without any pressure. Prepare the ballista bed, and there are trebuchets at the front and back, which is a war machine that can move on water.

"General Zhonglang, the former army has been defeated, seven warships were killed, and one battleship was destroyed!"

A military marquis came to report: "The enemy army has dispatched large ships, and we are not afraid of our catapult attack. We have no time to change the formation. Now the warships of the former army are all in chaos!"

"The building boat!"

Zhang Liao's eyes did not show sadness or anger, but a kind of excitement.

What is he fighting in this battle?

It's a boat.

He just wanted to know if he could compete with Lou Chuan. If not, then their Jingping Second Army would have to change their strategic deployment. Powerful.

"Nie Yun!"

"exist!"

A young general stood up.

"The rest is up to you, if you break through, you will take the lead!" Zhang Liao patted him on the shoulder and said in a deep voice.

Zhang Liao is in his early thirties, but he is more experienced, and Nie Yun, who looks to be about 30 years old, is Zhang Liao's younger brother.

Zhang Liao was originally a descendant of Nie Yi. In order to take refuge, one branch of the family changed its surname, and the other branch kept its original surname. This was just in case, and a bloodline could be left behind. Since then, the Zhang family has been passed down, and the Nie family There are also descendants, and the two families are like one family.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Nie Yun bowed his hands to salute, and then made arrangements.

The four battleships in the back lined up together, secured by iron chains, and connected by sampans, forming a combination.

And there are no trebuchets on these fighting ships, but there are some things placed on them, very long, movable giant logs.

"In a quarter of an hour, complete the assembly!"

Nie Yun came up and ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

All moved.

Within a quarter of an hour, the giant logs on the four battleships could be connected together, gradually forming a huge object. This is a trebuchet, a giant trebuchet, a trebuchet specially used to attack city walls on land.

Even a building ship may not be able to carry it.

But with four battleships, it can be carried smoothly.

"send!"

Nie Yun gave orders to the front.

boom!
A stone bullet weighing a hundred catties was fired, the target was... the Louchuan, the Jiangxia navy's Louchuan.
