Chapter 651 Thunderbolt
Government soldiers from all over the country rushed to Yunzhong one after another.

The strength of the Qin army reached more than 12.

With such a huge force, it is impossible to hide it.

The scouts of the Xianbei people had already been watching.

Tuoba Liwei also withdrew his troops and asked Chen Qian and Liu Yuan for help.

Chen Qian and Liu Hong immediately marched northward, and Liu Yuan sent troops to attack Dingxiang.

On the front line of Yandai, the army is nearly 30.

After the grain, grass and livestock were delivered one after another, Yang Zheng sent his army eastward and entered Yanmen County.

And Daijun is to the east.

From the sand table, Daijun is like a dagger stabbing Hebei's neck.

The largest basin in Bingzhou is neither Hedong nor Taiyuan, but Daijun.

The basin is surrounded by mountains, criss-crossing rivers, dripping green and flowing clouds, beautiful Sichuan plains, lush grass on slopes, galloping horses, and dotted with flocks of sheep.

It is impossible for the Tuoba family to occupy this place without developing it.

Wei Guan and Ma Long waited for a long time.

"Your Majesty, if you wait a little longer, I will definitely make Tuoba partly disintegrate!" Wei Guan was a little dissatisfied as soon as he came up.

The Tuoba Xianbei in history was indeed split under his operation.

But what Yang Zheng wants is not to split, but to annex!

"At one time and another, there was a severe drought in Guanzhong, and the people were desperately waiting to be fed. They had no choice but to send their troops northward to plunder for the people!"

Of course Wei Guan didn't really blame him, "Tuoba Xianbei is already an enemy of the country, and Daijun is the gateway to the east and west. Sima Yan has just been promoted to the top position. It is quite appropriate for the king to send troops at this time!"

Yang Zheng turned his gaze to Ma Long. He was tall, with a restrained demeanor and a calm face.

"I pay my respects to the king." Malone was also looking at Yang Zheng.

This is the first time the two have met.

"The general is really very human!" Yang Zheng fell in love with Ma Long when he saw him.

There are not many real famous generals in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

Malone is definitely one of the best, "My lord praises you."

The military situation is urgent, and it is useless to talk too much. Under the influence of Yang Zheng, Qin State has always disliked empty talk and flattery. Xing has a good plan?"

Ma Long clasped his hands and said: "Although Tuoba Liwei and Chen Qian know our army's intentions, the two divisions have their own ideas, and the soldiers are very fast. Your Majesty should gather a heavy army and attack Dai County from Yanmen directly. Attack across the board. Make a quick decision! Don't delay, otherwise, once Chen Qian and Liu Hong go north, they will attack and defend each other, and our army will be controlled on both sides, and Tuoba Xianbei will be impossible!"

What he meant was that before Chen Qian and Tuoba Liwei were ready, they would risk their lives as soon as they came up, make a quick decision, and eat Tuoba's tribe first.

Kind of like a blitzkrieg.

After all, Chen Qian and Tuoba Liwei are two camps.

Chen Qian sent troops to Feihuxing, Liu Hong sent troops to Linyin Diguan, while Tuoba Liwei was in Pingcheng, and Liu Yuan was five hundred miles away in Dingxiang.

Since there are two camps, it is impossible to work together without calculation.

It is also obvious that Chen Qian stationed troops in Feihuxing, causing Tuoba Liwei and the Qin army to lose both, and then he suddenly led the Hebei army through the Taihang Mountains to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Everyone is planning.

Yang Zheng turned his gaze to Wei Guan.

Wei Guan twirled his beard and smiled, "Military strategy is not the chief of the minister!"

Pang Qing said: "Tuoba Liwei has been running the Dai County for decades, and the city is strong. If we fall into a hard battle and Chen Qian and Liu Hong take over, isn't our army in danger of being overthrown?"

This was actually what Yang Zheng was worried about.

Chen Qian is one of the few famous generals in the hands of the Sima family. He is scheming and difficult to deal with.

The purpose of stationing troops in Feihuxing this time is to make both the Qin army and Xianbei suffer.

Ma Long's face was calm, but his eyes were bright, "It is precisely because Tuoba Liwei has been in business for decades, this is the only opportunity."

Indeed, there are 10,000+ troops on both sides.

There are many famous generals on my side, and the lineup on the opposite side is not bad. Needless to say, Chen Qian and Liu Hong, Liu Yuan and Tuoba Liwei are both founding kings.

None of the people who come out to play around these days are brain-dead.

Tuoba Liwei was the son-in-law of the Wuluhui tribe back then, but later he turned his back on the customer and made a decisive move to annex the Wuluhui tribe, and Tuoba Xianbei grew stronger from then on.

Since everyone is not stupid, it depends on who is more fierce and decisive.

In the Battle of Julu, the princes watched from the sidelines, Xiang Yu was overwhelmed, and 20 children from Jiangdong broke Zhanghan's [-] Qin army!
As long as the battle enters a confrontation, it is impossible for Yang Zheng to win.

At that time, Chen Qian and Liu Hong surrounded him, and Liu Yuan rushed from Dingxiang to Yunzhong to plunder the grain road.

Even if Yang Zheng can defeat Chen Qian and Liu Hong, the new Sima Yan will continue to send reinforcements from Luoyang in order to save face!
At that time, it will be caught in a national power struggle with the Central Plains.

Pulling Yang Zheng in Guanzhong is not at all cowardly, but in Dai County, it is not a question of whether Yang Zheng is cowardly or not, but that it is difficult for Qin to transfer the national power.

Chen Qian and Sima Yan have the inside advantage.

It's all here, the pants are off, it's impossible to go back without a shot, right?
"As for the city, I have been in Taiyuan for many years. Thanks to the King's favor, I improved the Thunderbolt chariot!" Malone clasped his hands.

Catapults existed in ancient times, and later improved by Liu Ye, which shined brilliantly in the Battle of Guandu, and were called Perak Chariots.

Later, Ma Jun studied and improved it, "If you want to make a round, you need dozens of big stones in the county, and the machine drum wheel is the norm, and you use the broken county stone to fly to the enemy's city, so that the head and tail are electric. Try to use the wheel to count dozens, Fly hundreds of steps!"

Malone was no ordinary general, but a weapon improver.

"Oh? Just watch it alone!" Yang Zheng was overjoyed. Before gunpowder cannons existed, trebuchets were the most effective siege weapons.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, a trebuchet "whirlwind gun" that could rotate left and right appeared.

When Emperor Li Er attacked Goguryeo, the catapult could send three hundred catties of boulders!
The Mongols also used Western Region artillery to break through Xiangyang.

The cities of this era are naturally not as strong as those in the Tang and Southern Song Dynasties. Many city walls are actually rammed adobe.

Outside the city, the soldiers had already prepared ten new Thunderbolt chariots.

Its appearance is almost the same as that of ordinary trebuchets, and it still works on the principle of leverage, but it has been improved a lot. Its shape is also larger than the commonly used trebuchets, and it is also more powerful. It is six feet high and requires fifty or sixty soldiers to operate it.

There are wooden wheels under the car, which can be easily moved.

The soldiers put forty or fifty catties of stones on top of the ammunition bags.

Under the slogan of the head of the village, other people pulled the rope, and the thunderbolt car made a loud noise, as if a giant beast was roaring in a low voice.

"put!"

With a "boom", like a thunderbolt, the stone cut through the sky, made a sharp whistling sound, and hit the mound heavily.

"270 five steps!" Tun Chang shouted.

Yang Zheng is overjoyed, this is almost 300 meters away, with this thing, the few small towns of Tuoba Liwei must be difficult to parry!

Yang Zheng suddenly thought, with this sharp weapon, wouldn't it be possible to take down Tongguan directly and push Luoyang all the way?
But looking behind the huge body of the Perak car, he shook his head and denied this idea.

Given the solidity and geographical conditions of Tongguan, it is difficult for this kind of catapult to function.

"The thunderbolt car that Ma Jun improved back then was powered by a winch and a drum wheel. The time was short, and I could only improve it so far!" Malone apologized slightly.

"Enough! How many do you have?"

"I have been preparing for this day for more than a year, and have prepared 170 planes!"

"It's God's help to meet the general!" Yang Zheng laughed.
