Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 24 Iron Armored Ballista

——"Aww!"

The miserable neighing of the wolves was endless.

Under the scorching sun, a one-sided massacre was being staged on the Martial Arts Field.

All the sergeants watching were silent, even after a long time, their eyes were still widened by the scene in front of them.

In the end, bursts of exclamations and discussions came out quietly.

"Guan Sigong, what a good way!"

"It's just that Guan Gong is testing martial arts... The fourth son of Guan is doing this, so where does the word 'wu' come from? Does it violate Guan Gong's original intention?"

"That's right, if everyone is like Fourth Young Master Guan, then why bother training?"

"Look, Guan Gong's complexion...is not pretty!"

Some soldiers noticed Guan Yu's cheek.

His expressionless face was still full of horror at this moment, but in the horror, his red phoenix eyes drooped, as if... with a bit of anger.

But Guan Lin, Guan Suo, and Guan Yinping, they ate beef jerky, talked about the mountains, and used Zhuge Liannu to "chug and chug" at intervals, and then... the pack of wolves gathered in one place included a few unlucky wolves Fate to the west.

It seems that the three of them are hunters, and the pack of wolves are the prey waiting to die at any time...

There is no easier "battle" than this!

...

"Master Yunqi is so smart and quick-witted!"

Beside Guan Yu, Ma Liang was the first to open his mouth to praise.

Originally, Ma Liang was full of curiosity and expectation for Guan Lin because of his "answer sheet".

Well now, his way of overcoming the pack of wolves far exceeded Ma Liang's expectations.

Even, surprise...

Guan Lin made Ma Liang feel a different kind of long-lost surprise.

This was a feeling that hadn't appeared for a long time after Army Division Pang Tong and Army Division Zhuge left one after another.

"Stealing and playing tricks!" It was Guan Yu, who woke up from his astonishment and narrowed his eyes and said, "If stealing and playing tricks became common in my Guan family army, then who would train hard? They are all going to learn cheating and cheating." !"

Guan Yu remained as strict as ever.

In addition, he has always advocated martial arts, such a "trick" to win, Guan Yu was surprised, but he looked down on him from the bottom of his heart.

"What's more, who allowed him to move a cage to the place where the martial arts is tested?"

"Guan Gong's words are too harsh on Mr. Yunqi..."

Ma Liang quickly argued, "Today's 'test', Guan Gong only mentioned 'testing martial arts with wolves', but did not stipulate what can and cannot be carried. It is acceptable for Mr. Guan Ping and Mr. Guan Xing to hold the Qinglong Yanyue Saber. Mr. Yunqi It is natural to move a cage for defense and then use the 'crossbow' as a weapon to attack, this is within the scope allowed by the rules, and Mr. Yunqi just made reasonable use of the rules."

I heard Ma Liang boasting about Guan Lin.

As a father, Guan Yu instinctively felt a burst of warmth flow through his heart, but this warmth did not melt half of the coldness on his cheeks.

"It's just a little cleverness. Is it possible that you can move into a cage when you go to battle and kill the enemy?"

Guan Yu frowned, and his tone was as severe as ever.

Ma Liang turned his gaze back to the martial arts arena, looking at the "crossbow arrows" continuously shooting out from the cage, watching the pack of wolves fall to the ground, Ma Liang said with emotion: "On the real battlefield, it is to move a cage , as long as you can defeat the enemy, why not?"

Well…

As soon as this remark came out, Guan Yu raised his eyes, and he felt that Ma Liang meant something.

Sure enough, Ma Liang's words continued, "Didn't Guan Gong hear that Cao Cao had a general named Tian Yu, a native of Yuyang Yongnu (from Tianjin), who guarded the northern border for Cao Cao all the year round. Even horses are not worth mentioning, but they have successively conquered Wuhuan, cut bones, and broken Kebi Neng, so many meritorious deeds...Let Cao Cao have no worries in the north, does Guan Gong think this person is strange?"

Tian Yu?

General of Cao Jun's northern border?

Why did Ma Liang mention him?
It seems that this Tian Yu is a character who has nothing to do with the present martial arts arena?
What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of "Baimei"?

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes, "Bai Mei can speak up if he has something to say!"

Ma Liang continued: "What's so strange about Tian Yuqi is that when he faces barbarian cavalry, he often doesn't choose to fight directly. Instead, he will surround the chariots into a circular battle formation according to the terrain and forge a line of horses. The 'wall' that cannot be crossed!"

"And the crossbowman draws his bow and guards inside, the barbarians can't attack, they can only break up! With this method, Tian Yu has won many battles, and the chariot wall method has made Xianbei Huqi good at field battles." The weakness of not being good at attacking fortifications has been exposed! It can be said that the infantry has created a 'turning the tide' victory against the cavalry!"

This…

Hearing this, Guan Yu understood something.

This is the same reason that the King of Qin built the Great Wall to guard against the Huns at all costs.

What the cavalry is afraid of is an impassable wall.

So... Ma Liang means...

Don't wait for Guan Yu to think about it.

Ma Liang's words continued, "Think about it carefully, isn't Tian Yu's method of fighting Xianbei Huqi the same as how Master Yunqi used to deal with wolves?"

Ma Liang pointed to the "iron cage" and said: "Look, Guan Gong, Tian Yu used chariots to encircle the city in a circular battle formation to build a wall to isolate the cavalry charge, but Master Yunqi used an iron cage more directly. Isolating the attack of the wolves, even the method of victory is exactly the same, but the difference between the bow and arrow and the crossbow, isn't it the same way?"

Speaking of here…

Ma Liang got up and bowed his hands to Guan Yu, "Congratulations to Guan Gong, Mr. Yunqi can think of such a method, he is extremely intelligent, quick-witted and clever, he is really a great talent!"

Hey…

Needless to say, after Ma Liang's analysis, Guan Yu also figured out something.

You know, before he attacked Xiangfan northward, he could only choose in summer and autumn, because it was the flood season...

The Guan family army is a "water army and marine corps", and Cao Jun's northerners are mostly not familiar with water, so they are invincible during the flood season.

But often in winter and spring, Guan Yu had to withdraw his troops because it was the "dry season".

The rivers have dried up...

If you really want to fight, there are more cavalry in the north, and Guan Yu has more infantry. The cavalry is born to restrain the infantry, and the advantage lies with Cao Jun.

But... Today, seeing Guan Lin's "iron cage" defeating wolves, and hearing Ma Liang's "Tian Yu" chariot defeating the barbarians in formation, Guan Yu seemed to be enlightened.

He seemed to have opened an additional window while the original door was open.

if…

Behind the chariot, put on such an iron cage...

No, there is no need to use iron at all, wood is fine, as long as it can block the enemy's soldiers to a certain extent.

Then fix the repeater in the cage.

Is it possible to achieve full defense and at the same time, like Yunqi shooting wolves, shooting Cao Jun's cavalry out of the cage?
Thinking of this, Guan Yu's eyes lit up.

Repeaters are used to attack.

Chariots are used for mobility.

While the cage can protect the crossbowmen, it is a wall when stretched horizontally! !

— Ballista!

No, this should be called - Armored Ballista!

The more Guan Yu pondered, the more interesting he felt.

Strange to say.

How to fight against cavalry cavalry in dry season?This is a problem that Guan Yu has been pondering for a long time but has not been able to solve.

But who would have thought that, unintentionally inserting a willow... just like that, it seems... It seems to be solved.

And tracing back to the source, the source of all this is actually in this son who he calls a "rebellious son"!

hiss…

Guan Yu subconsciously uttered a voice that could not be called surprise, but still felt that this was outrageous.

His red phoenix eyes opened and closed again, staring straight at Guan Lin on the martial arts stage.

Unexpectedly, there is an unexpected harvest in a martial arts test!

and many more…

Guan Yu suddenly thought of something.

He murmured subconsciously:
——"Could it be that this is what Yunqi called 'Learning martial arts can't save a big man'?"
