Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 151 Thunderbolt Car (Recommended and updated)
"General, look!"

At the head of the northern city of Shangyong, Liu Feng's lieutenant pointed out of the city.

Shen Dan had already ordered the soldiers at the Sanmen to assemble, obviously preparing to attack the city.

However, except for some of the soldiers standing in front who were wearing armor and holding shields, which were used to defend against arrow attacks from the city head, the soldiers carrying ladders and preparing to climb the wall were all unarmored and only held a single sword, and the supervisor team was behind.

Apparently Shen Dan was planning to use all the recruited civilians as cannon fodder to attack the city and climb the wall.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on Shen Dan's low level of morality. In this era, this is a routine operation during siege.

Even if the elites participate in the siege, they must be dispatched when the defenders are insufficient and there is a real hope of climbing the city wall, in order to make a final decision.

It is impossible to send away the elite from the beginning.

Lieutenant General Liu Feng was not surprised by this. He pointed to a place farther away, where many Cao soldiers were pushing six wooden carts.

There is a long thick wooden pole on this cart, which is slanted on the cart in an asymmetrical way, the front is short and the rear is long, the long end is tied with a large leather sheath, and more than ten ropes hang down from the short end.

Along with the six carts, there were also many stones transported by Cao Jun.

"Fatstone cart..."

Liu Feng's face darkened, and there were only six stone carts, if it was a fortified city like Jiangling, it would not matter at all.If you smash it casually, if you can smash a hole, it is considered that the "Guan's Construction Brigade" is doing a tofu project.

But it is different now, Shangyong is surrounded by mountains, and the three counties are poor, so there is no need to build a strong city.

The strength of the above-mentioned city walls, if smaller flying rocks can still resist, if you hit a big stone weighing more than [-] catties... the city wall will be broken after a long time.

"Quickly collect the large pieces of leather in the city, hurry up to make leather curtains, and hang them on the top of the city! If the supplies are not enough, ask for them from the big households in the city. The situation is urgent, and anyone who dares to disobey...beheaded!

"Order the soldiers on standby below the city wall to stand close to the city wall, not too far away from the city wall."

"Yes!"

But Liu Feng didn't intend to sit still, no matter what, he must hold out until the prince's reinforcements arrive!

Leather curtains were widely used at this time as a means of defending against stone carts.

It is to use a large piece of leather, increase its weight after being wet, and hang it up. When the flying stone hits the leather curtain, the impact will be absorbed. The smaller ones will fall directly to the ground, and the larger ones can also reduce their damage.

The reason for ordering the soldiers on standby to change defenses to be close to the city wall is because this position, which is similar to the principle of anti-slope defense, can make the stones attacking in a parabola pass over the city wall, and cannot cause damage to the soldiers standing here.

Although he is a rookie playing intrigue and meticulous layout.

But when it comes to fighting, Liu Feng, who was appreciated by his father and king, and who has repeatedly made military exploits in Yizhou and Hanzhong, is not just a layman who only knows how to rush wildly with his strength.

"The order goes on. During the siege, all the people are forbidden to go out! Send people to patrol the city, and anyone who violates the order to go out will be killed!"

"Yes!"

Having learned his lesson, Liu Feng will never give the Shen family another chance to create trouble for him from within.

According to the distribution of the enemy troops, the defenders in the city also began to move under Liu Feng's orders.

When the leather curtain finished on the sixth side was erected on the top of the city, the siege finally started officially after a stone was thrown out and hit the Shangyong city wall.

"kill--!"

Under the cover of the shield-hands, the recruited young men put the ladders on the top of the city one after another.

This kind of ladder for siege is equipped with a metal grab hook at the front end. Once it is hung on the city wall, it is not easy to push it away with the weight of the ladder climbing soldiers.

Knowing that they must die backwards, the young and strong who are forward or have a chance to survive are struggling to climb with a single sword in their mouths.

The harsher the living environment, the tougher the people living here.

Although these young and strong are dressed in shabby clothes, some of them wear simple homemade leather armor, and some of them don't have ordinary civilian clothes.

But its ferocity is much higher than that of the real soldiers of the Soochow Foreign Army.

"One! Two! Hey!"

boom!
The young and strong men hugging the thick bumper shouted chant and hit Shangyong's city gate.

"Fire arrows!"

On the top of the city, the defenders mainly rained arrows on the soldiers who knocked on the door.

Logs rolled down the ladder one after another, and rocks fell down one after another. The unfortunate ones who were hit could have broken bones or tendons, or died in severe cases. Blood was quickly spread under the city of Shangyong...

Xia Houshang frowned and looked at the battle situation in front of him: "Unexpectedly, Liu Feng is not only brave."

Although there is no bright spot in the rules and regulations of the mediocre, but the defense of the city is like this, and there are no major omissions.

Especially the leather curtains that hung out were obviously a temporary response after seeing the thunderbolt car sent by their side.

The Thunderbolt Chariot is also a human-powered stone cart that uses the principle of leverage. How far it can shoot depends on the pulling force and the weight of the stone.

At present, in order to ensure the safety of the soldiers who operate the thunderbolt, all the firing is small stones, so as to keep the shooting range beyond ordinary bows and arrows.

However, the leather curtains that were still hanging on the top of the city were gradually playing an increasingly important role, and the chaos and casualties caused by the small stones to the defenders on the city began to decline.

"Push the thunderbolt car closer, change the boulder, pay attention to cover."

"As ordered!"

The soldiers of the Wei army stopped shooting the flying stones, and gradually approached with the thunderbolt cart.

There were no stones that flew over their heads from time to time, and the defenders on the city breathed a sigh of relief for a moment, and they all concentrated on fighting back.

But Liu Feng couldn't relax, and pushed the thunderbolt car closer, which was about to change to a big rock.

In fact, he also knows the best way to deal with Fashi Che, that is to use Fashi Che to defeat Fashi Che...

Set up a stone chariot position in the open space in the city, and bombard the stone chariots outside the city.

Because the purpose is to destroy the opponent's stone chariot, it does not need to use a stone as large as the city wall, so it can also maintain the advantage in range.

However, it happened suddenly, and the city was not prepared at all.

Even if it's time to demolish the house and remove the beams, it's too late. By the time his stone carts are erected, the whole city will be destroyed.

boom!
A boulder hit Shangyong's city wall, making a shallow hole, but the city wall seemed to be fine.

However, the vibration from under their feet made the soldiers on the city wall panic, and the counterattack immediately slowed down.

"Don't panic! The enemy army only has six stone chariots, and Shangyong City can't fall. Hurry up and fight back!" Liu Feng roared, and took the lead in shooting a young man from the Shen family who was hitting the door with an arrow.

Amidst Liu Feng's shouts, the surrounding soldiers finally started to fight back again.

"Prepare the rocket!"

After stabilizing the morale of the army, Liu Feng ordered again that before the rockets were delivered, he also ordered some archers to attack Cao Jun who was operating the stone cart.

The defenders are condescending and have a high altitude advantage. At this time, the stone chariot is close to the distance that the bow and arrow can kill.

Although ordinary arrows cannot destroy the boulder chariot, it is difficult to cause a lot of damage to Cao Jun who is wearing a shield and paying attention to protecting the boulder chariot, but the harassment can always delay the speed of the opponent's boulder firing.

After a while, the rockets were moved to the front line, and the shooters put on lit rockets one after another, and shot at Cao Jun's stone chariot.

For a moment, fireballs streaked across the air in front of the city, and the burnt smell made the already bloody battlefield even more unpleasant.

Seeing this, Xia Houshang was not panicked, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he did not order anyone to withdraw the stone cart.

"Go to the river to fetch water and pour it on, and keep throwing stones!"

Shangyong City was built next to the river, surrounded by blocked water, and its south and east are rivers.

Not far to the east of the siege point in the north of the city is the Dushui River.

Moreover, the weather is still cold now, and the Shangyong land with many forests and rivers is not too dry even now.

The last time the rocket was able to have such a big effect in Jiangling, it was because Shen Zhong and others had poured kerosene on the house in advance, but now it is not so useful.

After shooting for a long time, there is still not a single stone cart being ignited.

"Hey!" Seeing that the rocket attack was not effective, Liu Fengyi punched the city wall.

He stared fiercely at those wagons, and ordered: "Prepare kerosene and torches, choose five hundred men who dare to die, and follow me out of the city!"

"General..." This deputy general has been in Liu Bei's army for many years, and he has been with Liu Feng for a long time. He has always been loyal, but he is not like the three people who were bribed before.

Hearing Liu Feng's words at this time, he couldn't help but want to persuade him.

Liu Feng didn't wait for him to speak further, so he interrupted: "If Cao Jun's thunderbolt chariot is not destroyed, Shangyong City will not be able to defend for a long time. Now we must lead troops out of the city and burn it to be invincible, so as to wait for the enemy's attack. Victory!"

The deputy general also knew that Liu Feng's words were true, so he clasped his fists and said, "The last general is willing to lead the soldiers of our department to go, and please continue to guard Shangyong!"

Liu Feng smiled gratifiedly, and patted the deputy general on the shoulder: "Looking at Cao Jun's military appearance, his general is not mediocre. If he doesn't succeed this time, he will definitely not give me a second chance. The whole army, there are some people who are brave enough to change it." General Victory?"

The deputy general felt that Liu Feng seemed to have changed again, although his words were still arrogant, but in the past, he would not explain this to himself.

He has always been strong, and he will not make such an intimate move to his subordinates as patting his shoulders.

"General Wang is loyal and has always acted prudently. After I go, you should try your best to defend the city and wait for the prince's reinforcements. I hope you will be cautious and repay the king." Liu Feng immediately looked straight, "Go now!"

"...I obey!" Deputy General Wang gritted his teeth and clasped his fists, and returned to the city to prepare.

Vice-General Wang, who left in a hurry, knew that Liu Feng had already embraced his ambition...
