I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 434, fierce artillery

Yanzhou, Dongjun, Puyang!

Billowing wolf smoke soared into the sky, covering half of the sky!Puyang defender Gao Lan's expression changed drastically, more than one beacon fire appeared in the direction of the Yellow River, and it was obvious that Dagan had launched an all-out attack!Both Changshoujin and Baima Ferry in Dongjun were attacked by Dagan!
An hour later, a fast horse rushed into Puyang!
"Report, General Hebei Lei Gong's subordinates led an army to attack Baima Ferry. More than half of the camp at the ferry has fallen. Captain Ma Yan begged for help!"

"How many people are here? Ma Yan has a battalion, how could he not be able to defend for half a day!" Gao Lan said sternly.

Under normal circumstances, as long as they guard the ferry, it is difficult for the soldiers on the boat to cross the river. A battalion of 5000 people is enough to withstand the big army for two or three days. Whether it is ancient or modern, it is extremely difficult to cross the river. Therefore, in the ancient Yellow River and Yangtze River In order to become a natural danger.

But like now, he came to ask for help in less than half a day. Doesn't it mean that Ma Yan didn't hold on for an hour? How can Gao Lan not be annoyed? No need to fight.

Tan Ma panicked and said: "There are too many artillery pieces from the Dagan army. There are hundreds of them bombarding our camp. We can't resist it at all! The captain saw that the brothers died too much, so he had to withdraw from the artillery attack of the Dagan army." Range, and then find a way to stick to it!"

Gao Lan was surprised: "Dagan moved the cannon to the upstairs ship?"

The manufacturing technology of artillery is really a matter of thinking, and there is no technical difficulty at all, especially the early artillery. Bronze cannons can shoot farther than cast iron cannons, and they are more powerful and effective.If it weren't for the fact that bronze was used to cast money in this period, few kings and even emperors could withstand such an act of melting money and casting cannons, and there would be no such thing as iron cannons.

The Chinese civilization has been playing with bronze for thousands of years, and they can cast thousands of kilograms of big tripods, so casting thousands of kilograms of bronze cannons is really not difficult at all.

Yuan Shao and the others also made cannons, but their technology is not as good as that of Dagan. A cannon weighs two thousand catties and is all cast in bronze. The bronze alone is equivalent to more than 20 yuan melted down. Adding the cost of casting, Yuan Shao wants to It costs 50 yuan to cast a cannon. Yuan Shao's resources were all used to raise soldiers and build docks, and he didn't have much money to forge cannons.Yuan Shao only forged 50 cannons experimentally, but he couldn't bear the consumption, so he stopped such prodigal behavior, and these cannons were placed on the city wall of Luoyang by Yuan Shao!

That's why Gao Lan was surprised that Dagan moved the artillery onto the upper ship. If it sank hundreds of thousands of dollars, it would be thrown into the water.

Tan Ma nodded and said: "Yes, Dagan's building ships are very large. These building ships are all lined up horizontally. There are all cannons on the side of the ship. Each ship has more than 10 cannons. It is because of these hundreds of cannons. The artillery is attacking our camp, and we can't resist it!"

"Really rich! Lei Gong is not afraid that the ship will sink and he will lose his life!"

Now Gao Lan finally understood why Baima Ferry couldn't bear it for even half a day.

The bombing of hundreds of artillery pieces is all about throwing money at people.How could the wooden fence at Baima Ferry withstand so many artillery pieces!

"Tell Ma Yan to retreat! Staying at Baima Ferry is just courting death!"

Dagan has carried the artillery to the upstairs ship, and anyone who is close to the Yellow River will become the target of Dagan!The soldiers at Baima Ferry could only retreat to avoid the range of the artillery.

At the same time, Gao Lan was very envious of the wealth of the big army. Yuan Shao didn't have the skills to cast cannons, but he didn't have the money to cast cannons. He finally cast 50 cannons, but all the treasures were placed in Luoyang City. He was the frontline guard But there is not a single cannon. If he had dozens of cannons here, Lei Gong wouldn't be so arrogant!

All he had to do was sink a battleship ashore.Lei Gong can lose dozens of artillery pieces.This is tens of millions of dollars. He believes that even if Lei Gong has more money, he will die of heartache.

But he doesn't have a single cannon in his hand, and Lei Gongguang has hundreds of cannons in one direction of Baima, and the [-]-strong army may have thousands of cannons. The financial resources of the two sides are simply different. difference.

It shouldn't be like this, how could Lei Gong, a man with mud legs, be richer than his lord!

At this moment, a fast horse from Changshoujin rushed into Puyang!
"General, Changshoujin has been attacked by the enemy. My Patriarch will ask the general for support!"

Gao Lan didn't think so, but asked, "Can Changshoujin persist?"

"There are too many enemy artillery, completely covering our camp. My general has withdrawn from the range of the camp, but the enemy is coming fiercely. The general is worried that it will be difficult to resist the attack of the main army, so I ask for support!"

"How many people from the Dagan army attacked Changshoujin?" Gao Lan asked.

"I don't know, but there are tens of thousands of soldiers who got off the big boat, and Huang Long, who is in command of the big army!"

"Let Lu Kuang retreat across the board to Puyang! Then find a way to stop the main army!" Gao Lan frowned slightly, leaned over to look at the map helplessly.Now we can only withdraw from the south bank of the Yellow River and avoid the artillery attack range of the Dagan army.

Judging from the current situation, the total number of troops attacking Dongjun from the two routes alone is 10 instead of 8. Lei Gong really thinks of him as a little Zhonglang general, and he has gathered so many soldiers and horses to attack. East County.There are thousands of cannons alone.

Lei Gong wouldn't bring all his artillery to Dongjun, would he?Gao Lan was also taken aback by his own thoughts!
He caressed the city wall of Puyang, which was built by him himself. At the same time, he also knew that it would be the guarantee of his life in the future, so he built it very carefully. Every brick of the city wall was carefully inspected by him. I really don’t know Can it withstand the bombing of thousands of artillery pieces?

The camps along the Yellow River are all within the attack range of the Dagan naval guns, so it is obvious that they cannot continue to garrison. Now they can only rely on Puyang's solid defense to resist the attack of the Dagan army!
Gao Lan can only hope that Puyang City, which has been built for three years, can withstand the attack of the big army.

At the same time, Gao Lan also sent scouts to report to Yuan Shao, who was sitting behind the town, what happened to Dongjun!
"Go and tell the lord that Lei Gong launched a full-scale attack. Now Dongjun will face the bombardment of Lei Gong's 10 troops and thousands of artillery pieces. Please help the lord quickly!" Gao Lan ordered his Tan Ma to say.

Yanzhou, Dingtao, the headquarters of the coalition forces of the princes!

Gao Lan's scouts quickly passed the news of Dongjun to Yuan Shao!
When Yuan Shao heard the news, he immediately invited Liu Bei and Cao Cao, and then said painfully, "Thunder cannons are fierce and numerous. They have destroyed all the ferry camps built by our army on the south bank of the Yellow River. Now our army can no longer prevent them from landing on the land of Yanzhou." Already!"

Cao Cao also smiled wryly at Yuan Shao with the information about Feige passing on the letter: "The situation here is similar. The defenders of Liaocheng and Dongwuyang also reported to us that Lei Gong launched an all-out attack on them. Wang Yong, Li Gang The two artillery pieces are fierce, and the defenders have no power to fight back. Now they have abandoned the ferry on the south bank of the Yellow River and retreated to Liaocheng and Dongwuyangcheng. It seems that Lei Gong launched an attack on us on the same day. Now we can only watch helplessly. Then, Lei Gong controlled the entire ferry on the south bank of the Yellow River, and watched as Lei Gong transported his 30 troops to Yanzhou little by little with a transport ship."

　Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket!
　　Some book friends said that the development of Liaodong is not that simple.

　　Although the book is a little simpler, it is not as difficult as everyone thinks.

　　During the Ming Dynasty, more than 500 million people lived in the Liaodong area, which shows that it was still feasible to develop Liaodong in the feudal era.

　　In order to develop Liaodong, that Xu Wei engaged in the reclamation army, and prepared cattle, horses, and steel farm tools. It can be said that apart from machinery, the preparation work for the development of Liaodong has not lost much to modern times. It can even be said that the number of large animals exceeds modern.

　　Moreover, Xu Wei still develops the land along the river, so that the difficulty of development will be even lower.
