Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 202 The Power of Knowledge

Yong Jie is tall and broad, with a powerful Kong Wu, and he is one of the few in the Yong family who can fight except Yong Kai.

The most rare thing is that he has also read the art of war and has a little wisdom.

After all, it is also a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years since the time of Gaozu. Although it has never been reused by the dynasty because of its past misdeeds, it has been far away from the center of power, and there have been no big names.

But after all, the background is in that place, the Yong family has a lot of books, and because of the wealth, there is no shortage of capable people to cling to. If you really want to learn, there are still many things you can learn.

Yong Jie was practicing bow shooting at this time. He bent his bow and set an arrow, and after aiming for a while, he shot an arrow!
Boom!
"Ah——! General, spare your life, General!" A man was tied to a wooden stake. At this time, Yong Jie shot an arrow three inches above his head, which made him howl endlessly in fright.

"Tsk, I don't feel good today." Yong Jie looked a little annoyed, and took a few steps closer.

His target was one of the officials of Cunyi County appointed by the prefect Zhengang.

In fact, Cunyi County basically didn't resist much. After the Yong family rebelled, they quickly surrendered.

But this person once advised the county magistrate to stand firm and wait for help, saying that his Yong family would not be able to succeed.

Thus, he and his family members became the targets of Yong Jie's arrows. His family members had long since died, and he also hated Yong Jie in his heart, but he was just an ordinary person after all, not a hero.

When death was about to come, I still couldn't help crying and begging for mercy.

It's just that these voices are heard in Yongjie's ears, and they are just to help him practice arrows.

Take the arrow again, but before it can be shot, a soldier comes to report.

"General! General, the enemy is attacking the city!"

However, Yong Jie still aimed his bow unhurriedly, which was in stark contrast to the panicked look of the soldier.

"Hmph, why panic." Yong Jie looked disdainful, "Then Deng Fang is coming to die, just for us to make new achievements, then the Patriarch will definitely reward you generously. How many people did they come this time?"

"General, there are at least ten thousand people!"

"What?!" Yong Jie, who had never changed his face before Mount Tai collapsed, his expression collapsed with Mount Tai in an instant, "How many, more than [-] people?! If it's a joke, I will behead you!"

As soon as he let go, the arrow flew out immediately, but it was no longer accurate. It missed the target and almost hit the guard guard.

The soldier who was grabbed by the front of his clothes by Yong Jie hurriedly said: "This subordinate has absolutely no lie, the general will know it when he goes upstairs."

"Then where did Deng Fang get more than ten thousand people?!"

The soldier was about to cry, cursing in his heart, you XXOO, how the hell would I know? !

Naturally, the distraught Yong Jie didn't expect to get an answer from him. After venting his emotions, he pushed the soldiers away and hurried to the tower.

"It must be that Deng Fang has no soldiers to use, and drove the peasants to die! Yes, it must be the case, a group of ragtag mobs dare to..."

Yong Jie, who kept thinking about it to anesthetize and comfort himself, after climbing the tower, his mentality collapsed again.

Ragged clothes?mob?
I saw the armor of the soldiers outside the city, their knives and guns shining, their ranks neatly lined up, and their banners unfurling.

The drums were beating, and the army formation was mobilized quickly and orderly.

The horn sounded, and the sound of people roaring and horses screaming shook the sky.

A large flag was erected in the army formation, fluttering and fluttering, with a correct "Liu" written on it.

Yongjie: "..."

At this time, there are many more horses running in his heart than the hundreds of horses outside the city...

It was obvious that Liu Bei's army had arrived...but how could it be so fast?It will take at least two months from getting the news, then dispatching troops and dispatching generals, deploying what is needed, and finally bringing in the army, right?
He Liu Bei's people can shrink to an inch, can they travel thousands of miles a day? !
Or is it that the enemy generals who come to attack will also use the technique of "scattering beans into soldiers"?

For a moment, Yongjie only thought that there might be a strange warlock with great magic power in the enemy army...

Perhaps because they stayed here for a long time, they also believed in those weird things more and more.

……

"Who is the guard of this city, and what is the strength, food, and defense situation?" Liu Chan asked Wang Meng beside him.

Wang Meng replied almost immediately: "Guardian Yongjie, a younger brother of the Yongkai family, is proficient in martial arts and has a little bit of tactical strategy. There are more than 800 defenders, including more than [-] original soldiers from Cunjia County, and more than a thousand Yong family privates. There are still more than two thousand young and strong soldiers who can fight.

"There is sufficient food and grass in the city. As Cunji County, the northern gateway of Yizhou County, the Yong family has stored a lot of food and grass in the city. There are all kinds of supplies such as wood and other guards. The soldiers are forced to climb up, fearing heavy casualties. However, the city walls and gates here are in disrepair for a long time. , is no longer very strong..."

One by one, Wang Meng reported all the information involved to Liu Chan in detail.

If Yongjie heard this, his jaw would drop in shock. Who is this?Why do you know better than me?
Liu Chan smiled and said, "You've done a good job, it should be credited."

Wang Meng bowed and cupped his hands: "This is all a matter of my duty."

"Prince, we don't have many soldiers. Even if the city gates are not strong, heavy casualties will still be inevitable..." Zhang Yi was quite worried.

They only have more than 1 people, and their strength is not particularly sufficient to conquer the entire Yizhou County.

If it is advancing step by step like this, although it is solid, it is hard to say how many troops will be there when we reach Dianchi Lake.

"If you pretend to attack for a while and then pretend to withdraw your troops, you will make the enemy careless. Instead, our army will take the water route and go directly to Dianchi Lake after being sprayed with water! It can be taken in one fell swoop!"

Liu Chan was quite surprised. He thought Zhang Yi was an anti-war faction, but the more he got in touch with him, the more he realized that was not the case.

In fact, he didn't know enough about this. In the later period, Zhang Yi did oppose Jiang Wei's frequent northern expeditions again and again, thinking that the country was small and the people were tired, so force should not be abused.

However, he also followed Zhuge Kongming in the Northern Expedition, and was known for his iron fist when he was the governor of the surrender at that time, so he was not an anti-war faction.

What he advocates is to accumulate strength first, and to fight must be able to really win the ground.

"What Bo Gong said is also a quick way to win." Regarding the proposal of his subordinates, Liu Chan first affirmed its positive side, and then smiled, "But if Dianchi Lake cannot be attacked for a long time, what should we do?"

"This……"

He is still young at this time, with more than impulsive and passionate blood, but he is not thoughtful enough, and he has not really led the army and fought, so he lacks experience.

"If the enemy soldiers swear to the death and stick to the Dianchi Lake, the guards in the counties in the rear will cut off our food roads, and finally form a siege..."

Zhang Yi broke out in a cold sweat when he heard it, and clasped his fists together and said, "It's the minister who didn't think carefully, and was too hasty."

Liu Chan waved his hand: "Bo Gong knows how to adapt and is wise. This is a good thing. It's just that those who use soldiers should not easily leave victory or defeat in the hands of others."

That is to say, when formulating a strategy, try not to bet on uncontrollable variables such as the enemy's reaction.

In case Yong Kai and Meng Huo ate too much tiger penis that day, would they not be afraid?

[Zhang Yi favorability +5] (70)

"I am taught. I will immediately lead my troops to attack the city, and I am willing to go to the city first for the prince!" Zhang Yi said, and he was about to lead the army to attack the fortifications.

Liu Chan's affection for this person added a little more. The Zhang family is now the favorite of the local families in Yizhou. If the youngest of the Zhang family wants to be promoted, he doesn't need to do the rough work of getting ahead.

"Bo Gong wait a minute."

Under Zhang Yi's puzzled eyes, Liu Chan said again: "Gu also knows that the troops are limited, how can we let the soldiers attack with flesh and blood?"

Now Zhang Yi was completely stunned, he did not detour, he did not attack by force, what was the prince's plan?It was said just now that the other party has enough food and grass, so the prince wouldn't want to besiege the city, would he?

Liu Chan smiled mysteriously, and called Ding Feng over: "Take out the gadgets we prepared and let Yong Jie see them."

"Yes!" Ding Feng, who was lucky enough to see this thing, immediately became excited, and called some soldiers of the Red Star Army to go to the back team to unload the goods in the ox carts and get busy.

"What are they doing? What are those..." Yong Jie waited for a long time in fear, but did not see any further movements from the enemy outside the city.

Just looking from a distance, it seems that a group of people are unloading a pile of strange-shaped wood from many bullock carts behind, and are... assembling?
"Prince, this thing is... a stone cannon?" Zhang Yi was also puzzled, why did it look so incongruous...

Can this grotesque thing throw a stone?
Liu Chan said with a smile: "It's a hair stone cannon, but it's slightly different. It's something Zhuge and I have recently modified based on Cao Jun's Thunderbolt chariot, and named it 'Leigong Cannon'."

In fact, the so-called Thunder Cannon is a counterweight trebuchet.

First, balance the weight at the end of the gun arm, and then use the pulley block and rope to pull down and bend the arm scoop on which the stone is placed, and block the mechanism. After placing a large stone, move the mechanism to fire.

The traditional manpower trebuchet requires at least dozens of hundreds of people to operate, but the counterweight trebuchet uses a pulley block, and only a few people need to hold the handle and turn the wheel to bend the huge gun arm.

Not only does the operation save manpower, but also the range and power are not comparable to human trebuchets.

However, it is impossible to make such a complicated thing out of materials.

But for Bashu, which has started the "rigorous Zhuge craftsmanship" of standardized and modular production, it only needs to produce standard parts and assemble them on the battlefield.

Zhang Yi opened his mouth wide, looking at the wooden machinery that was gradually taking shape in front of him: "This is...a gadget?"

Liu Chan said with a smile: "It's time for the people of Nanzhong to understand the power of knowledge."
