Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Although the quantity was large, it was quickly unloaded under the handling of thousands of people including Gan Ning.In the middle, there were also quartermasters from the battalion leading numerous carts.

Consign these catapults and well carts.In addition to the catapult, Gan Ning also brought countless stones.How many stones can a thousand catapults consume?

not calculable.But anyway, it is too late to temporarily mine on the battlefield.Therefore, when Kou Feng built the catapult, he also mined these stones.

As shells in siege warfare.Countless shells.

In about half a day, countless carts transported these things back to the camp.

After returning to Daying, Kou Feng summoned Pang Tong who were stationed in the West City and East City respectively, and Xu Shu and Xu Shu came to an open space some distance from Daying.

When Pang Tong and Xu Shu arrived, their faces were a little puzzled. Now the camp has just been built, and various precautionary measures still need to be completed slowly.

At this juncture, Kou Feng summoned them here, which is really puzzling.

But soon, Pang Tong and Xu Shu were attracted by the scene in front of them.A catapult.As for the catapult, this kind of catapult was something the two had never seen before.

But the two still recognized each other at a glance.

Catapults, even the most famous thunderbolts, are very small and not very useful.Moreover, it is easily damaged during transportation, and the cost is quite expensive.

Therefore, except for very large siege battles, such as the war between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao with 10 people, it is rarely used.

But the catapult in front of the two of them is very tall, but it doesn't give people a bulky feeling, but it seems to be very flexible.

The bigger the thing, the farther it can throw the stone.With such a big size, the two of them immediately felt a sense of anticipation.

In addition to the catapult, there are other things that don't know what they are used for next to each other, and there is also a car made of steel with eight wheels.

It seems to be prepared for transporting something extremely heavy.

The well cart was not invented by Kou Feng, it has already been used on the battlefield in this era.But the general well carts are without exception, and the craftsmen build them up slowly like building a house.

Usually several feet high.Because if it is higher, the wheels below may not be able to bear it.Things that are only a few feet high, although they pose a threat to ordinary city walls, they are not very threatening.

And it is even useless for the city wall that is more than ten feet high.In addition, the transportation is cumbersome and requires a lot of manpower and material resources to carry it.

Anyway, it is also a siege tool used in a small range.This well truck was no stranger to military advisers Pang Tong and Xu Shu.

But they really don't recognize this one in front of them.

At least until the installation is completed, the two will not recognize each other.

"My lord, what's so special about this car?" Xu Shu and Pang Tong quickly looked away from the unfamiliar well car, turned to look at Kou Feng, and Xu Shu asked even more.

"How far is the thunderbolt?" Kou Feng asked rhetorically.

"About 100 meters. It's too close to the city wall, so it's easy to be destroyed." Xu Shu replied.

"My car can shoot 200 meters. There are a thousand of them." Kou Feng said with a smile.

"A thousand? 200 meters?" Xu Shu and Pang Tong were all taken aback.Both of them are in charge of military power, and they don't know much about logistics.Of course, I don't know how Kou Feng developed this catapult.But this number is astonishing.

It turned out to be a thousand.

Apparently Kou Feng had already expected that he would encounter something as embarrassing and time-consuming as siege.Not only has this kind of catapult with an extremely long range been developed, but a thousand of them have been prepared.

"This rock." Pang Tong wondered beside him.Stones are also another weakness of the catapult. It is not always possible to find stones for the catapult on the battlefield.

Even if it is mined in advance, it will be more troublesome to transport.Besides, the manpower and material resources required to mine the stones may be more expensive than building the catapult itself.

Pang Tong was talking about common sense, but he underestimated Kou Feng's wealth.Kou Feng back then evacuated Jiangling City.Although I have used more than half of it over the years, the rest is still very rich.

Kou Feng smiled and said: "It has been mined in the south, and Gan Ning used hundreds of ships to transport it. Now it is in the camp. When the catapults are transported over, the stones will be transported together." Blocks are also shipped over.”

"Stones for hundreds of large ships? How much gold and silver would it cost?" Even Pang Tong was stunned.

"Not much, including the catapult and the well cart, it cost [-] to [-]. Compared with Xiangyang City, compared with Chen Bing Xudu's goal, this price is really too small." Kou Feng smiled. replied.

At this moment, even Xu Shu felt a little heartache.

Just to conquer Xiangyang City and realize the goal of Chen Bingxu's capital.His disciple spent a total of [-] to [-] gold to equip these catapults and well carts.

These golds can form an army of tens of thousands.

Xu Shu and Pang Tong were both heartbroken.But in Kou Feng's view, it's all worth it. In Kou Feng's eyes, nothing is more important than the lives of soldiers.

People die less and less, but gold will still increase.

With the expansion of the territory, taxes and so on will increase steadily.Back then Liu Biao accumulated tens of thousands of gold by relying on Jingzhou.

Of course Kou Feng can too.

Instead, people are gone.There will be no taxes.To sacrifice tens of thousands of troops or to spend [-] to [-] gold, these two methods capture Xiangyang.

Kou Feng chose to use gold.

Therefore, Kou Feng spent the [-] yuan very happily.

"By the way, my lord said the well truck?" When Xu Shu slowly recovered from the pain in his heart, he suddenly realized a problem and asked.

Well car.Pang Tong also came back to his senses, and looked around with Xu Shu, there is no well car here.

"Yes, twenty feet tall." Mentioning this, Kou Feng said with some high spirits.In this era, both the catapult and the well truck were installed at the beginning.

Who would have thought that it could be disassembled and installed?

It is very troublesome to transport like that, and it is easy to be damaged.Especially the well car, a stupid guy with a height of several feet.Still want him to run hundreds of miles to attack the enemy's heavy city?Save it.

But in Kou Feng's view, this is not a problem, these things can be transported in the state of parts.Especially on the southeast side, the water system is well developed.

Kou Feng's Great Chu is the overlord of the water in Jiangdong.As long as there is a ship, it can be transported from south to north, and from north to south.

As he said that, Kou Feng asked the craftsmen who had already prepared beside him to start loading the well truck.Speaking of putting it on, it is actually very simple.

It is section by section, pieced together.

It's like a tall building rising from the ground, and the bottom one is the huge iron cart with eight wheels.Then there are sections on the top, showing a square shape.

On the top is a huge platform on which dozens of archers can stand.In addition, there are ladders that can be used for up and down.

And the most dazzling thing is that the well cart is twenty feet high, several feet higher than Xiangyang City.As long as more than a dozen well trucks are put together, Xiangyang City can be suppressed in height.

From top to bottom, shoot the opponent's soldiers.

Under the stunned eyes of Xu Shu and Pang Tong, the seemingly useless parts were under the nervous leveling of the craftsmen.

Even Kou Feng used the suggested pulley.Put together the well trucks section by section.Soon, most of the well trucks were completed.at this time.

Kou Feng ordered the artisans to stop piecing together.

This thing is considered a secret now, at least from Yu Jin and others in Xiangyang City.Once the twenty-foot-high well car was pieced together.

Then Xiangyang can be observed from a distance.At that time, there will be no unexpected effect.

"How?" After ordering the craftsmen to stop, Kou Feng turned his head and asked Pang Tong, who was still shocked, with a smile.

"Used in a siege battle, it is enough to hand over an army of tens of thousands." Xu Shu praised from the bottom of his heart.

"If there are no accidents, half a month will be enough to capture Xiangyang." Pang Tong was not stingy, and praised.

Until now, the two are still shocked by this whimsical idea.Who would have thought that this tall and heavy well truck could be installed anywhere.

And so easy.

In just a little time, a [-]-foot well truck was completed.

The city wall is in front of it, just like a dwarf.It's just a pity that there are still some weaknesses.It would be better to use it in Xiangyang, but if it is used in a city like Xudu with strong defense, cavalry, and some huge defensive equipment.Not so perfect.

Both of them knew about Iche's traditional weakness, so they soon felt regretful.However, at present, Xiangyang has no way to defend against this kind of weapon.

When the two thought that they would be able to break through Yuyu within half a month, Gao Lan and Zhou Yu would lead an army of [-] to [-], Xiangyang, which is known as the strong city, felt a little excited in their hearts.

half a month.

Back then Zhou Yu, Liu Bei and Xu Huang were almost in this situation, and at that time Xu Huang was still a defeated army, leading all the remnants.

However, with the height of Jiangling City, he resisted Zhou Yu and Liu Bei for several months.Now they only need half a month.

The [-] gold is worth it.

Until then, the two of them let go of the heartache in their hearts, and admired Kou Feng's generosity.

"I will order people to send these two things and the craftsmen to your camp in a moment. They will be assembled when the city is attacked two days later. The rest will be up to the two generals." Finally, Kou Facing Xu Shu, Pang Tong smiled.

"Don't worry, my lord, we will live up to expectations." Xu Shu and Pang Tong looked at each other, bowed to Kou Feng, and said solemnly.

"Hahaha." Kou Feng laughed loudly.

Immediately, Kou Feng began to arrange the transportation of catapults, well trucks, and stones to Pang Tong and Xu Shu's camp.Especially stones, there are too many to count.

And these strange actions that took place in Kou Feng's camp were also overheard by Yu Jin's spies.Returned to Yu Jin in the city.
