Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

early morning.

The sky is still only dim, with only a little sunlight peeking out from the east.But the soldiers in Xiangyang City have already started changing shifts.

The night shift last night was replaced, and the soldiers on duty during the day were replaced.

Lao Qin is one of them.Xiangyang City is very big, so big that the length is calculated in terms of miles.Therefore, there are many soldiers like Lao Qin who are on patrol during the day.

Lao Qin is an old soldier.Since Lu Bu's cholera, he has followed Yu Jin.It's more than thirty now.

In this era, soldiers eat food.Hardly a good end.Even if there are occasional outstanding ones, it is because of illiteracy that they can only be minors.

Lao Qin, who is in his late thirties, is also a Dubo.

However, Lao Qin felt that he was not bad.Followed a general who was almost invincible in all battles.If you win a battle, fewer people will die.can live.

As an old soldier, Lao Qin felt very happy following Yu Jin.

"Brother, do you think we can win this battle?" A well-dressed soldier who came up with Lao Qin asked Lao Qin.

This long is also an old soldier, and he can be regarded as Lao Qin's deputy in terms of status.He usually got along very well with Lao Qin, so he dared to tell Lao Qin about these taboos in the army.

"What nonsense are you talking about. You and my general have been together for so many years. Have you ever seen our general lose a battle? He is almost victorious in every battle. Don't look at his large army, which claims to be 30. In fact, he is a soft foot Shrimp, they look good but they don't work." Lao Qin said a little unhappy.

Old Qin has been with Yu Jin for so many years, thanks to Yu Jin's kindness, he saved his life.He is very supportive of Yu Jin. If it wasn't for his deputy who spoke, he might have reported it long ago.

According to military law, spreading rumors in the army will be punished.

"However, yesterday's situation was obviously wrong. One hundred generals went out and fifty came back, and it seems that General Cao was seriously injured." This elder was not afraid of Lao Qin, he said worriedly.

Lao Qin's face suddenly pulled down, and he was about to reprimand him.But he heard the soldier next to him let out an exclamation.

"what is that?"

"Very high."

"so big."

There were endless exclamations.Lao Qin quickly dropped the long hair, turned his head, and looked to the south.I saw more than ten vehicles driving out of the camp of Kou Feng in the south.

On the car, there are huge, tall and square objects.It seems to be higher than their city walls.Definitely heavy too.

Because Lao Qin took a closer look and saw that there were countless people pulling and pushing the car in all directions.While pulling, he shouted out rhythmically.

"One, two, three. Go."

"One, two, three. Go."

Amid loud and clear shouts, these cars were slowly pushed towards Xiangyang City.

"Is this a well truck?" Just when everyone was stunned, Lao Qin, who had a little more knowledge, said with surprise on his face.This well car is also a rare commodity in the Central Plains.

Rarely seen.But Lao Qin was lucky to see a few fights once.But that thing can't be compared with the one in front of you at all.Is it twenty feet high?

How did Kou Feng transport something so tall?

Just look at those pushing soldiers.There are so many, densely packed soldiers are pushing, and the road is still just paved under their feet.

But still walking as slowly as a snail.It can be seen that the well truck is not easy to transport.Moreover, such a large car would definitely not be transported by water.

That can only come from Jiangling.So far, hundreds of miles.Actually arrived in Xiangyang in a daze?

Lao Qin was really stunned.The soldiers under his tent were stunned, almost all the guards on the top of the city were stunned.

"Hurry up, go and report to the general. The enemy has more than ten well trucks attacking the city. The well trucks are taller than our Xiangyang city." But Lao Qin quickly reacted, and with a mournful roar, he woke up completely Still in the drowsy Xiangyang City.

It's just getting brighter today.Isn't it time to fall asleep?But following Lao Qin's shrill roar, the entire Xiangyang City was alarmed.

Soon the captain guarding the gate appeared, and after just one glance, the captain's expression changed drastically.Without further ado, I sent someone to report to Yu Jin.

When Yu Jin arrived with Gao Lan, Man Chong, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Zhu Ran, Kou Feng's well truck was only a few hundred meters away from Xiangyang City.

"Here, the general went on a campaign. He has seen Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers, and also seen Lu Bu's sharpness. He even fought a battle with Yuan Shao in Hebei. Have you ever seen such a powerful object?" One kind of people including Zhou Yu, Lu Su was dumbfounded.After a long time, Man Chong still didn't believe it, turned his head and asked Yu Jindao.

"I've never seen it before." Yu Jin's face was very serious.He has been fighting for decades, and he has never seen such a majestic well car.

Twenty feet high.What an ingenious workmanship.Kou Feng was not afraid of crushing the car.

"Now is not the time to discuss this. How should we defend against these well trucks? According to reports from the east and west walls, there are more than ten vehicles. The total may not be less than forty vehicles. Connected into one piece, it is twenty feet high. height, the walls of Xiangyang City are almost useless." Zhou Yu's face was extremely ugly.

It can be said to be ashen.

Sure enough, sure enough, this Kou Feng has many tricks.I have fought with him for a lifetime, Chu Dao, ships, elephants, etc., all greeted him.

Now there are so many well trucks.A well-crafted well truck.The advantages of Xiangyang City and the city wall were completely disintegrated.

This made Zhou Yu very unwilling.

At the same time, I feel very regretful.Damn Mohism.Although Zhou Yu also liked some academics of the Mohist school before, the things they created are really amazing.

But now Confucianism dominates, and many things of Mohism have been lost.Although Zhou Yu thought it was powerful, he didn't think it was that great.

Until Kou Feng appeared.

His steamer, his well truck.Who said that Confucianism is the only one in this world?Mohists are useless?

One round of boats disintegrated Jiangdong's advantage on the Yangtze River, allowing Koufeng's troops to capture Ganning's navy, and captured the inner city of Jiangdong, Moling.

Completely trampled the overlord Jiang Dong under his feet.

And now this well car.Zhou Yu could imagine with his toes that Xiangyang City would be in trouble once the well truck came out.These more than ten well trucks lined up in a row, and the advantage of the city wall was basically disintegrated.

There are not as many troops in the city as Kou Feng.Especially since they don't have cavalry yet, go out and destroy these well carts.If he went out to fight in the city, he would definitely be defeated by Kou Feng's army.

There is too much difference in the number of people.

Nothing to do, really nothing to do.In the end, it may be possible to fight the number of troops until they wipe out the army.In the end, Xiangyang City had to be offered with both hands.

"There is no way. However, we are not without any advantages. After all, there are many places on the city wall, and there are more archers who can stand. Even if Kou Feng has a well cart, he can only reverse the disadvantage a little bit." Yu Jin said , but no matter how you look at it, these words seem to be self-comforting.

advantage shit.

It is twenty feet high, definitely much higher than Xiangyang City, condescending archery.There is no advantage to speak of.

But it is undeniable that Yu Jin's words of self-comfort gave people a sense of security in their hearts.At least we still have walls.

When Zhou Yu and Yu Jin felt a little more at ease.Suddenly, a sharp-eyed soldier shouted, "Look, what's that? It's densely packed."

Yu Jin and the others were startled, and looked up ahead.There may be hundreds of vehicles densely packed, slowly approaching Xiangyang City.

These cars are small, much smaller than the well cars.All eyes were on the tall well trucks, so these small trucks were ignored.

It wasn't until the distance was close that everyone realized that there were still so many cars.

"What kind of car is this?" Gao Lan exclaimed.First there was the well car, and then there was this unclear car.Because the well car is too shocking.The height of the uncanny workmanship is enough to make all the guards terrified.Therefore, Gao Lan subconsciously felt that these densely packed cars must not be good goods.

Great stuff.

"What else can there be besides the catapult? Did General Gao forget Duke Ming's thunderbolt chariot when he was in Hebei?" Yu Jin's face became even more ugly.

"What? Hundreds of thunderbolt cars?" Gao Lan was really shocked this time, and let out a high-decibel exclamation.His face was even uglier than Yu Jindu.

At this time, Yu Jin didn't care about Gao Lan's indecency.The thunderbolt car, in the first battle in Hebei, really gave Cao Jun a lot of advantages.

The situation where the stone was thrown into the air was pleasing to the eye.

But Gao Lan is an old general on Yuan Shao's side. It can be said that Gao Lan is the one who understands the power of Thunderbolt Chariot best.Those stones looked pleasing to Yu Jin, but in Gao Lan's eyes they were deadly flying stones.Every time instead of killing people, the city wall was smashed down.

For a while, the generals under Yuan Shao's tent became pale when they talked about catapults.

But at that time, there were only more than a hundred Perak cars under Cao Cao's account.There are many reasons, the most important thing is that too much can't be kept.

Yuan Shao has a lot of troops, hundreds of thousands.At that time, Cao Cao had only tens of thousands of elites.This thunderbolt chariot must be guarded by a certain number of troops, otherwise it will be attacked and destroyed by Yuan Shao.Then, the workmanship of the Perak car is too fine, it costs a lot of money, and it is easy to damage.under various defects.

Therefore, there are only more than a hundred of Cao Cao's Thunderbolt cars.

But look at Kou Feng's large group of hundreds of catapults. According to the report from the east gate and west gate just now, his well carts are equally divided among the three walls, so are the catapults.

In this way, I am afraid there are no less than a thousand vehicles.even more.

Tall well carts cost a lot of catapults.How much did it cost to make such a big piece of equipment.Tens of thousands of gold?

That is the gold that can recruit tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of troops.

From Yu Jin's point of view, Kou Feng is really crazy.

It is said that Kou Feng captured all the luggage in Xiangyang City in his early years, so he was rich and powerful.But Yu Jin didn't take it seriously, no matter how rich Jingzhou was.

There is a limit to that, Liu Biao has only been in business for more than ten years.How much savings can you have?

But now?Yu Jin scolded Liu Biao in his heart that he was nothing.How much gold was deposited?One hundred thousand? 20?How much silver did you collect? 50? 100?

How much money did you spend?billion?Ten billion?

With so many things, I'm afraid even Minggong doesn't have as much money as he does.No, it is definitely not that he has money.Throughout the north, countless princes fought with each other.

Cao Cao spent a lot of money and manpower to barely stabilize.The savings have been used to fight the war, how much can be left?Certainly not as rich as Liu Biao.

But this miser insisted on throwing away so much property.Kou Feng was cheap for nothing.

It cost tens of thousands of gold to create these siege equipment that can only be used two or three times, or even once.Rich and powerful, really rich and powerful.

Yu Jin scolded Liu Biao half to death in his heart.

Gao Lan, Yu Jin, and Man Chong are all generals of the Cao family, and they are all well aware of the scourge of thunderbolt chariots.Now that hundreds of cars have appeared together, they are all shocked.

Although Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Zhu Ran had never seen this thunderbolt chariot that made great contributions to Cao Cao in the Battle of Guandu, they had heard of it.

Now seeing hundreds of cars coming out together, the eyes of each one are protruding.

Especially Zhou Yu, he sighed and said, "If Jiangdong was the one who looted Jiangling back then, how could Kou Feng be so arrogant now?"

When Kou Feng ransacked Jiangling, he declared to the outside world that Jiangdong people were the ones who ransacked it.But of course Zhou Yu was very clear about whether he did it or not.

Now that I think about it, Kou Feng has either benefited the people or increased his troops for so many years.Or raise soldiers.It became stronger step by step, vaguely relying on the luggage in Jiangling City.

Until now, no expense was spared.To build this batch of siege equipment.Use the siege equipment piled up of gold to minimize the casualties of your own soldiers.

In Zhou Yu's view, this is really a prodigal.

Although Zhou Yu also knows that there is a saying called people-oriented.But you can't play like Kou Feng. With 100 million people, five years may not be able to have the taxation of the gold consumed by these siege equipment.

And it only takes 15 years for a generation to grow.

When Lu Su was shocked, he also admired Kou Feng.He is using money as a base to minimize the casualties of soldiers.Try to preserve the population as much as possible, and promote further development.

It can be said to be very domineering.

But on the other hand, Lu Su also felt heartache.That is not a small amount, it may be tens of thousands of gold.Like the current treasury in Jiangdong, it may be full of rats.

It's almost bottomed out.

Several sea routes were blocked, and many ships carrying gold and precious stones sank in the sea.Several defeats made spending money like water.

As far as Lu Su knew, even the mosquito nets in Sun Quan's house had to be repaired and repaired.The quilt is reluctant to change after several years.Poor.But Kou Feng, on the other hand, is rough enough.

Lu Su still didn't know that the several times their Jiangdong pioneered the sea, they were all hijacked by Fang Dao, who was sent by Yiji.Now a large part of those supplies are consumed in the construction of Taiwan County.

Or the return flow entered Jiangxia.Warm Kou Feng, otherwise Kou Feng will be dragged down no matter how rich and powerful he is.

If Lu Su, Sun Quan knew, would definitely go mad.

But the people present were astonished as they were, and their basic rationality was still maintained.It's just unacceptable in my heart.

"General, now Kou Feng has more than [-] troops looking around. With these siege equipment, let alone defending Xiangyang City, it may be difficult even for a month. I don't know what countermeasures you have in mind?" Zhou Yu Feeling that his lips were dry, he turned his head and asked Yu Jindao with a livid face.

"As long as you can keep it, you can keep it for as long as you can. Now you can't give up on the city and go north. The north has not yet regained its vitality, Fancheng is small, and Wancheng was burned by the Kou Feng, and now it is sparsely populated. I can't help it. If we give up Xiangyang City, we really can only wait for Kou to seal Chen Bingxu's capital. At that time, all the heroes in the world will be shaken, and." Yu Jin's words stopped here suddenly.

I was really overwhelmed and said everything I shouldn't have said.Although Cao Cao and Sun Quan are allies at present, and they are the kind of allies who share the same hatred.

And the situation Cao Cao is facing now is basically an open secret.But a secret is always a secret, and Zhou Yu discussed the situation on his side in public.

It's always a joke.

Feeling a little regretful.

"Then try to stay there for a month, so that Mr. Cao can recover some vitality and be more calm. Then we will burn Xiangyang City and leave overnight." Zhou Yu said with a ferocious face.

Burn Xiangyang City?Yu Jin was taken aback, this is a big city with more than [-] people.If it were burned, wouldn't even most of the people be burned to death?

Zhou Yu is really ruthless this time, or really hates Kou Feng.It's better to be broken jade than to be whole.I would rather not get it myself than let Kou Feng get it.

Yu Jin turned his head and glanced at Zhou Yu thoughtfully.The hatred of taking his wife.Even a man can't stand it.

Lu Su next to him was also taken aback, but Lu Su opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn't say the persuasive words.Let Kou Feng get this Xiangyang City, which is a kind of harm to them.

And Zhou Yu's plan to burn the city is beneficial to everyone.

"Well, when I retreat, I will arrange it. Just like Kou Feng burned more than ten counties in Wancheng, I want to burn this big city into charcoal." Yu Jin was surprised at first, but then his expression changed. Said cruelly.

A person like Yu Jin has fought many wars in his life.Tens of thousands of people are often killed.As long as it is beneficial to Cao Cao's side, he sacrificed more than [-] Xiangyang people without blinking his eyes.

It's just that what Yu Jin said was a bit biased. Back then, Kou Feng took all the people away before burning the city.And as they say now, they obviously want to burn the people to death together.

At this moment, Xu Shu and Pang Tong in the east and west of the city also began to attack the city.Soon, the captain guarding the gate came to report to Yu Jin, confirming his guess.

Hundreds of catapults have also been found in both directions.There are more than 1000 catapults in real.ruthless enough.

Not to mention Yu Jin, Zhou Yu and the others.

Even Huang Zhong, Zhang Fei, and Chen Da were all shocked. Seeing a catapult was one thing, but seeing hundreds of catapults was another feeling.

In addition, Kou Feng's more than ten well trucks are almost high in the clouds.The aura it exudes is like a giant ancient beast, which makes people feel very startled.

Not only these vehicles, but Huang Zhong's [-] Yue soldiers from the battalion under Kou Feng's tent had already rushed over.Their task is to cooperate with catapults and well vehicles to attack.

In addition, there are some soldiers who are responsible for guarding the catapult and other things.Avoid the tragedy that the army in the city rushed out suddenly and was destroyed.

Moreover, the cavalry left behind by Zhao Yun were all ready to go.Feel free to strike.

Tens of thousands of people, countless catapults, densely packed.Just like ants.Plus more than ten well trucks.In addition, there are countless people pulling carts full of stones and walking forward.These are catapult shells.

It was also ready early in the morning.

Cai Mao watched from the sidelines, gulping down his saliva, his face flushed with fever.He was also brazen last night, without his help, it would be very difficult for Kou Feng to capture Xiangyang City.

But looking at it now, it's obvious that he has a plan in his chest.Depart from Gong'an, break through Jiangling, enter Xiangyang, attack Fancheng, enter Wancheng, and approach Xudu all the way.

In the end, it was a feat of Chen Bing to ask the emperor about the importance of the Jiuding.

This is not a slogan, but Kou Feng is really implementing the plan.Conditional, planned, and capable are implementing this plan.

Once Xiangyang was broken, there was no longer a great city in the north.It was like facing Xu Du directly.This son-in-law is really Chen Bing Xu Du.

Cai Mao looked at Kou Feng who was standing on his left side with shocking eyes. At this moment Huang Zhong had already stepped forward, and there were Zhang Fei, Chen Da, Kou Shui and others beside Kou Feng.

But these few people, including the tens of thousands of troops in front, all kinds of siege equipment.It's all a foil for Kou Feng, and it's just one of his means.

There is no one else who really stands on this stage except this one.

At this moment, Cai Mao felt that the majesty of his son-in-law was as dazzling as the hot sun in the sky, which made people dare not look directly at it.

Incredible.

"Liu Jinsheng has saved so much money all his life. But he would rather be a dog guarding the soil, thinking that he can dominate the side. But in the end, he still made a wedding dress. He has made the man he is today." Cai Mao murmured He muttered to himself, with an indescribable sarcasm on his face.

Liu Biao, the lord whom he sincerely supported in the past, but looking at the former Liu Biao from Kou Feng today is really not worth mentioning.

Stupid as a pig.

"This is father-in-law?" Kou Feng heard Cai Mao talking to himself, but couldn't hear clearly, so he couldn't help asking strangely.

"I'm talking about such a big battle. If the command is wrong. If you greet your own people with the stones from the catapult, it will lead to chaos." Of course, Cai Mao would not directly tell Kou Feng what he just said, and smiled. Concealed his expression, said.

Kou Feng didn't doubt that he was there, and said with a smile: "This father-in-law doesn't have to worry. Huang Hansheng is in front of him personally directing, he can see clearly. He won't let the catapult hit his own people."

Of course Cai Mao knew that Kou Feng would not make such low-level mistakes, and what he just said was just an excuse for coming early.Hearing this, he smiled and said, "I see."

Well truck, huge and heavy.Catapults were numerous, with even more carts laden with stones accompanying them.In addition, it is also necessary to guard against a group of soldiers suddenly killing the city and destroying these siege equipment of one's own side.

So, it takes a lot of time.

But Kou Feng is not anxious, he has countless stones to squander.There is still half a month to slowly capture Xiangyang City.

Therefore, Kou Feng until the well car was only a hundred steps away from the city, and some guards began to hold huge shields in front of them.

To protect the safety of the well truck.

Also, hundreds of catapults came into range.The stones for the cannonballs are also ready.

In the end, Kou Feng had to wait for the east and west walls, Pang Tong and Xu Shu's side were also ready, and the orderer was confirmed.

Only then did he pull out the Chu knife from his waist, ready to give an order.

At this moment, Zhang Fei, Kou Shui, and Chen Da are still guarding Kou Feng's side.Huang Zhong was standing in front of the horse, his face was flushed red, full of excitement before the war.

Countless catapult riders, as well as the soldiers responsible for carrying the stones, all looked nervously at Xiangyang City in front of them.

On the huge well cart, hundreds of archers also drew up their bows and arrows, ready to shoot.This group of archers is Kou Feng's magic arm battalion soldiers, and belongs to the magic archer troop under Chen Da's command.

The arms are strong, and the bows and arrows used are also super strong bows, which can penetrate Yang with a hundred steps.

On the city, Yu Jin's face was covered with sweat.

"One hundred paces. The well truck stopped a hundred paces away. We went from bottom to top. The accuracy is extremely bad." Zhou Yu said with an extremely ugly face.

"At this point, we can only make up for it with quantity. Shoot arrows on the well cart as much as possible." Yu Jin ordered: "Spare up a thousand archers to shoot and kill the archers on the well cart. Kou Feng has not issued a general attack yet, shoot and kill the archers above, hurry up."

"No." Gao Lan responded, and immediately went down to make arrangements.

After a while, a thousand archers, facing more than ten well trucks, began to shoot arrows.

"Swish, swish, swish." Arrows started to kill Kou Fengfang's archers on the well truck at an angle, but due to distance and ability problems, most of them were missed.In addition, the wooden female wall on Kou Feng's well car is particularly high, which plays a good role in protection.As long as the archers hide under the female wall, the arrows of these archers are almost useless.

Yu Jin, Zhou Yu's complexion became even uglier.

"Siege the city." Kou Feng gave an order. "Boom." Immediately, countless army drums beat with a loud roar like thunder in the sky.

The archers on the well car that had already been prepared ventured out of the female wall and began to shoot and kill the guards in Xiangyang City.Countless catapults also began to throw stones from the catapults.

For a time, the scene formed was extremely spectacular.

"Bang bang bang."

"Whoosh whoosh."

Think about it, the feeling of countless arrows, plus hundreds of stones flying in the sky, pouring down violently.The arrow just shoots a hole in the person's body, but the stone can smash the brain out of the person.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh'" although Yu had already ordered the soldiers to disperse as much as possible to reduce the casualties caused by the catapults.

But at this moment, the city of Xiangyang still screamed.Yu Jin, Zhou Yu's face changed even more, and he retreated into the gate tower.

Kou Feng, who stayed behind, had a very different mood at this moment.

"Under the siege equipment piled up with tens of thousands of gold, any fortified city is just tofu. Unless there are tens of thousands of cavalry to destroy my catapult." Kou Feng looked excitedly at the grandeur in front of him.

Unfortunately, there are no cavalry in Xiangyang City.

(To be continued)
