Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

Chapter 85 Suppression of Guangling, Lin Mo's second hand
In Lu Bu's camp, craftsmen were busy forging chariot springs. Lu Bu didn't want to just wait like this, and would send people to the city gate to call for battle.

Sometimes it's Gao Shun, sometimes it's Cheng Lian, even Xu Sheng will lead people to run to scold the street, "Come out!"

He didn't point out that Sun Ce would really run out out of embarrassment and be caught off guard, because each time there were more than 1000 cavalry accompanying him.

More than 1000 cavalry, neatly arranged is also a small square formation. For Jiangdong, who has very few cavalry, this insulting method is a bit like showing off wealth in later generations.

This scene made the generals at the city gate salivate. They knew very well that on the other side of the river east, with their bravery, Sun Ce's long spear was enough to conquer all the wind and clouds.

But if you want to dominate the Central Plains, you can't do it without a cavalry.

"The rats on the city gate, get down!"

"I heard that your lord, Sun Ce, is good at marksmanship. Do you dare to come down and fight with me for [-] rounds?"

"I can let you have both feet!"

"Rats, rats, Jiangdong are all rats!"

The cavalrymen under the Chengguan were very arrogant, and after scolding, they thought these naughty words were funny, so they couldn't straighten up.

"I must kill these beasts!" On the horse path, Sun Ce's fists were clenched, and the veins on his forehead popped up, and he wanted to lead his troops to rush out.

"Calm down, my lord! Be sure to stay calm! The thieves just want to provoke our army out of the city with words!" Zhou Yu hurriedly stood in front of Sun Ce.

"A man would rather die than be humiliated. I came across the river just to listen to these thieves insulting me every day!" When he was under Yuan Shu a few years ago, Sun Ce was also a little patient.

After crossing the river, Liu Yao, Yan Baihu, Wang Lang and others were dealt with one after another. They were undefeated in more than [-] big and small battles, and their temper was inevitably a little restless.

Moreover, whether it is on the battlefield or recruiting powerful families, he has always advocated one word, reckless, reckless to create a future!

"My lord, there are many cavalry in Lv Bu's army and there are plains outside the city. Those who attack us rashly will be eaten up by these cavalry like a flock of sheep!"

Zhou Yu pressed Sun Ce with both hands, and said patiently: "Please wait a little longer, my lord. When our reinforcements arrive, Lu Bu will surely be defeated!"

"Where are the reinforcements coming from?" Sun Ce suppressed his anger and asked in a muffled voice.

"Cao Cao, Cao Cao is our reinforcement!"

Zhou Yu dragged Sun Ce, who was about to move, and explained eagerly, "Cao Cao doesn't do anything right now, because he thinks we are powerless to contend with Lu Bu. For at most three months, as long as we stick to the city gate and drag Lu Bu under Guangling City, Cao Cao will definitely not be able to bear it." .”

Sun Ce half-closed his eyes, and slammed his right fist heavily on the city wall, stirring up a cloud of dust. He saw the smiling faces of the group of cavalrymen under the city gate, and gritted his teeth.

Zhou Yu sighed softly, and his tone softened, and said: "Bo Fu, what's the point of being abused and humiliated for those who achieve great things, as long as we are the ones who laugh at the end, please believe me and stick to it." Fighting is the way to win."

The two have known each other since childhood, and they are called the main minister, but in fact they are close friends and confidants.

In private, he would often call Biaozi to show his closeness. Right now, in order to calm him down, he doesn't even care about the presence of soldiers around him.

Most of the time, Sun Ce can listen to Zhou Yu's words.

His eyes were sharp, and after gouging out the group of cavalrymen under the city, he flung his robe and left.

Since you can't go out of the city, then choose to be out of sight.

rumbling~
In front of Lu Bu's camp, eight Thunderbolt chariots were pushed forward at the same time, the movement was not insignificant.

After each thunderbolt car is equipped with springs, the stability has been greatly improved.

Of course, the spring cannot completely avoid the problem of the pit, but with the spring, a reaction force will be formed after falling into the pit, and almost all small potholes can be pushed across.

"Wen Hou often praised Yun Wenxian for his ingenuity. Today, it seems that it is true. Adding a small spring can perfectly solve the problem of the thunderbolt car pit." Liu Ye, who was sitting on the horse, twirled his short beard. For pride.

He was not jealous of Lin Mo, but grateful.

Who doesn't know that this thunderbolt car is Liu Ziyang's masterpiece, but if he often gets stuck in the pit, he will inevitably get the impression that it is a fly in the ointment.

Now that this problem is solved, he can only be happy.

Even if the spring invented by Lin Mo is added, it is still Liu Ziyang's thunderbolt car. This point will not change after all.

"It's not as good as Zi Yang's method." Lin Moqian said with a thick smile.

Lu Bu glanced at the two of them, smiled and said nothing.

It is said that since ancient times, literati have looked down on each other, and my son-in-law has no such problem. Whether it is Chen Yuanlong or Lu Zijing, he is quite respected, and even Liu Ziyang, who is a descendant of the Han Dynasty, is full of praise. Linger should thank me for finding a man for her. Good husband.

The [-]-mile journey took four hours because of joining the Perak car.

Liu Ye probably knew the speed of the Perak Chariot, so he suggested that Lu Bu set out before dawn, and the sun was shining brightly when he arrived at Guangling City.

The heat is hot, but in war, life and death can only be decided in an instant, and you can choose the weather or not.

Lu Bu, who was riding a red rabbit horse, waved his hand, and a cavalryman with a command flag rode his horse knowingly and ran to the moat and shouted:

"Marquis Wen has something to say, you will quickly open the city and surrender, give you half an hour to think about it, when the time comes, everything will be destroyed!"

This is considered to be a gift before a soldier.

Give them half an hour, one is to give the other party time to think about it, and the other is that the preparation of the thunderbolt car also takes time.

The defenders at the city gate stared at the eight thunderbolt chariots more than one foot high and looked at each other, and some whispered.

It's not like a ladder car for siege, nor is it a building car, what is that.

They don't know what kind of thunderbolt chariot exists, but they are sure that it should be a new type of siege equipment, otherwise Lu Bu wouldn't have spent so much manpower pushing it all the way.

The gazes of Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and the others were also always focused on the Thunderbolt car.

The person coming from the other side estimated that it should be around five or six thousand. Obviously, it is impossible to really storm Guangling City.

So. are they relying on those 'weird cars'?

They had a bad premonition in their hearts, but they couldn't do anything, they could only quietly wait for the other party to make a move.

This kind of feeling is very uncomfortable, as if someone is already on the verge of a sword, and you don't know where he will come from in the next second.

"Marquis Wen, the time has come!"

After the sergeant in charge of timing ran over to report, Lu Bu slowly closed his eyes and said coldly, "Let's do it."

"Here!"

As the orderly waved the flag and galloped past the front army, the Thunderbolt chariots lined up under the city gate started to move.

The soldiers jumped up and pulled down the pulling rope, put a stone weighing tens of kilograms into the firing bamboo basket, and then seven or eight people began to pull the rope vigorously.

squeak
The extremely tough throwing rod made a burst of twisting sound.

"put!"

With an order, eight Thunderbolt vehicles were launched simultaneously.

bang bang bang ~
Under the sound of thunder and thunder, the eight stones flew towards the city gate with a huge impact.

"What is this!" Facing the flying boulder, the defenders instinctively wanted to dodge, or crawled under the city wall, or ran around for a while.

Boom boom~
The boulder hit the city gate and a cloud of sand and dust was thrown up. Those who were unlucky were hit directly. They vomited blood and died on the spot. Even the drums used for cheering were smashed to pieces.

"Okay!" Seeing the chaos at the city gate, Lu Bu and the others cheered loudly. This is much more convenient than a manpower attack.

Liu Ye also pinched his short beard and raised the corners of his mouth arrogantly, admiring his masterpiece.

But the accuracy was a bit off. Of the eight boulders, only three actually landed on the city gate, two of them flew over the city, and the other three hit the city wall.

Many cities in the Central Plains are built with rammed earth. If it is a strategic town or a government office like Guangling, bricks will be built on the surface of the rammed earth to increase the defense.

Therefore, the boulders that fell on it did not cause much damage.

But it doesn't matter, the stone doesn't need money, just give him firepower coverage.

"These bastards!" Sun Ce brushed the dust in front of him, seeing that the city gate was turned into chaos by three stones, his face was flushed with anger, and before he could utter another sentence, he heard someone shout, "Come again! It's gone! Hide now!"

Then there was a burst of flying stones thrown onto the city gate.

Sometimes if you are lucky, you can throw in five or six yuan, but when you are unlucky, you only get one or two yuan.

But every time, there are always screams and curses from the city gate.

The soldiers watched from under the city gate, enjoying it very much.

If it continues like this, even if it is a strong attack, the chances of being the first to climb will be much greater.

Lu Bu crossed his arms and watched them jokingly fleeing on the bridleway, carrying away the seriously injured people from time to time. He had never tried that the siege of a city could be so simple.

But soon Zhou Yu saw the problem, and immediately shouted: "Don't run around, just hide behind the city walls. There are blue bricks in this country, so you can't smash them through!"

The soldiers moved after hearing the order, all squatted down, and let the stones fly onto the horse path. At most, they would overturn the boiled gold juice or the soldiers piled up with weapons and arrows, and it would not have much destructive power. .

Lu Bu's brows slowly frowned. If this continues, even if you smash all the stones, you won't be able to hit Guangling's city defenses.

Before he could speak, Liu Ye raised his hand and shouted, "Change tung oil!"

Liu Ye had anticipated this situation a long time ago, and immediately used a preparatory plan.

The soldiers put the jars into the bamboo baskets one by one, lit them, and then launched them.

The defenders at the city gate had just breathed a sigh of relief when someone poked his head out to see the situation, and faced the tung oil fire altar flying right in the middle.

After a bang, the oil jar shattered, and the burning tung oil instantly swallowed up the defender.

"Ah~" The piercing scream seemed to tear apart the last psychological defense line of the defenders, and the burning man ran around, wanting to have a chance to survive, but everything was in vain.

The people next to him just watched helplessly, with fear in their eyes, but they couldn't do anything.

As the tung oil altars were thrown onto the city gate one after another, tongues of fire erupted one after another, and there were endless screams. Some people couldn't stand the pain and jumped from the city gate more than four feet high, and fell into a pulp.

The flames on Jiangdongjun who fell down did not go out, because he stood upwind, and a gust of wind blew in, and the disgusting smell of burnt meat almost made Lin Mo's stomach sour, and he almost vomited out shamelessly.

This is war, and human life is as fragile as ants on the battlefield.

When fighting Shouchun, Lin Mo was not present, and the fight against Lujiang went smoothly, so it can be said that Lin Mo really saw what the battlefield looked like.

"We must win! We must win! We must win!" Lin Mo was a little embarrassed, but the soldiers were in high spirits.

These thousands of people are all veterans under Lu Bu's command. They have long been used to life and death. In front of them, they can face all life and death calmly.

But Lin Mo couldn't do it yet, he was just a traveler, and it was the first time he had seen such a cruel war, even though he hadn't started the bloodiest storming of the city yet.

"Are you okay?" Lu Lingqi asked softly at the side.

Lin Mo waved his hand, his expression was not very good, and he said in a deep voice, "Get used to it slowly."

The tragedy at the city gate was not over yet. Lin Mo forced himself to stare, telling himself in his heart that this is war, and things that would be a hundred times more cruel than this would happen in the future. If he wanted to be truly independent, he had to go through this process!

The one-sided performance didn't end until dusk, because the tung oil had been used up, and Lu Bu took his people back to Dazhai proudly. Before leaving, he still kept his words down and continued tomorrow.

The cumbersome Perak car was not taken away, but pushed into a mountain not far away, leaving a team of people to guard it.

There is no need to worry about Jiangdong soldiers daring to come and attack. There are banners and flags all around, and cavalry patrols from time to time. The deterrent force formed is enough to make the opponent daunting.

After closing the city gate, Sun Ce, with a dark face, silently tidied up the mess with the soldiers and walked along the road.

In this battle, in fact, not many people were actually killed in battle, maybe only about two hundred, but the thunderbolt car had already made them feel timid.

No one knows when the opponent will launch a general attack.

Zhou Yu was also very sad. Like other generals, he helped the wounded soldiers to go down the city without saying a word.

He did not expect the sudden appearance of the thunderbolt car, but he knew in his heart that if he persisted, he would definitely kill Lu Bu. This belief has never changed.

After returning to the camp, the morale of the army was high. The sergeants who had witnessed the powerful impact of the thunderbolt car sat there, and the people who stayed in the camp came over. Hearing what they said, I was also excited.

Liu Ye was like a general who had returned from victory. He was stared at with admiration wherever he went, so his waist became straighter.

"Is it better?"

After returning to the camp, Lin Mo lay on the couch, unable to eat, but drank some water. After entering the tent, Lu Lingqi put the basket aside, and took out the prepared cakes from it, "Here, what do you usually eat? I have brought the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and almond cake that I like to eat, so let’s change the taste.”

Lin Mo smiled bitterly, "I thought you were going to mock me again."

"Be kind as the liver and lungs of a donkey."

Lu Lingqi rolled his eyes at him, and said angrily: "I like to eat or not."

"and many more."

Seeing that Lu Lingqi was about to leave, Lin Mo stopped her, "If this continues, the defenses of Guangling City will not be breached. We still have to find a way to lure them out, otherwise we don't know how long the fight will take."

Lu Lingqi sat down again, with a look of suspicion on her face, "The thunderbolt chariot is so powerful that it is enough to make the enemy's heart tremble. The soldiers all said that they might surrender without a fight in a few days. How could you?"

"It's not so mysterious."

Lin Mo shook his head helplessly. The Perak car had just been released, and Jiangdong was caught off guard only when he first entered the battlefield. After a few days, they would slowly get used to it.

But now Lin Mo didn't want to explain too much, but took out the prepared letter from his arms and handed it to Lu Lingqi, "Ze Rong is in Haixi now, send someone to deliver this letter to him."

"It's Ruo Rong again, why do you like him so much?" Under the influence of Lu Bu, Lu Lingqi was also full of contempt for this monk.

"Don't underestimate this guy, it can still be useful."

Lin Mo pouted, "Go, remember, send a fast horse."

"Got it." Seeing that Lin Mo had nothing to add, Lu Lingqi took the letter and left.

Call ~
Lin Mo exhaled foul breath, leaned on the couch pillow and looked at the dome. By doing so, they should be able to catch them out.
