Travel through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 127 The first twenty-seventh fight again ([-])

"Report, Cao Jun may attack us at night."

Another message came from the intelligence personnel. It is estimated that the night attack is not a night attack, but to put their arrow towers in place at night.

"Everyone, our arrow tower must be put in place tonight, otherwise, we will have no chance to put the arrow tower in place during the day."

This can be regarded as the idea given by Xun Yu.

At first, "Wen Ruo, the arrow tower has been built, but can we successfully put the arrow tower in place during the day?" Cao Cao was a little uncertain.

"No, if you push the arrow tower during the day, it will definitely become the target of the opponent's spear-like arrows, and there will definitely be no arrows in vain."

"Yeah, that's exactly what I'm worried about. This arrow tower is too heavy, and it takes a lot of people to move it."

"My lord, why don't we carry it out at night, and if possible, we can attack directly. However, this possibility is relatively small, and the opponent will have a corresponding way to deal with it."

"Haha, okay, let's do this. We operate at night. They have a way to deal with it. How to deal with it. Light the fire. Now arrange someone to watch it. If anyone goes out of the city, greet me with a bow and arrow immediately."

"Attacking at night is not impossible. The main thing is to place their arrow towers. If we are not careful, their team will directly attack the city. In this way, our losses will be great. .”

At this time, Jushou was also analyzing various possibilities.

"So, what shall we do?"

"Or, if we shoot more rockets at night, with the illumination of the fire, at least we can guard against Cao Jun's night attack."

"Well, if the rocket doesn't work, then the rocket will have a little more light. If it is to illuminate the battlefield, how many rockets will be enough. It is best to use a fire to illuminate the battlefield." Ju Shou shook his head and directly vetoed this resolution.

"Huodui, then people must be arranged to leave the city, and I will arrange it now." Some generals were anxious. "No, no, Cao Jun doesn't know that lighting a fire outside will prevent them from attacking. They will definitely arrange archers to watch from a distance. This idea is too risky and cannot be adopted."

"I have a way." A military officer from the Strong Crossbow Battalion interrupted.

"You, what's your idea?" "Use a strong crossbow to shoot it out. We have tried it. A crossbow bolt can carry dozens of kilograms of things behind it, and it can be shot more than a hundred steps away. If, do we use it?" If the arrows are shot with some lit fires, wouldn’t there be a lot of fires on the battlefield, and the weight can be used to control the distance of the fires.”

"Are you sure, have you tried it?" Ju Shou heard it, and was anxious. If it was really tried, then this strategy is feasible. With this crossbow, you don't even need to use special arrows, just use a wooden stick. Anyway , not to shoot people, but to take the fire out.

"I'm sure." "Well, this task is entrusted to you. Let the artisan battalion speed up the production of firewood piles, and they should not be broken after high-speed movement. Also, let all combatants start to rest now. , and then, after dark, everyone took turns going to the top of the city to defend."

Jushou made a decision immediately.

Although Jushou has arranged everything, he is still a little worried. Even if he can prevent the night attack, what if the people arranged by the lord can't work.

Just yesterday, Yang Yu sent those bamboo tubes and personnel over, and Ju Shou wanted to conduct some experiments first, but the visitor rejected his proposal, but said that it must be used directly on the battlefield, otherwise, it would leak Heavenly.

The main reason for leaking secrets is to worry that if a loud noise is made in the city, people will be panicked. However, if it is used on the battlefield, it will be different. People will say that God is also helping them.

…………

Cao Jun's actions at night were basically put on the bright side, because during the day, they pushed the arrow tower to a distance of 500 meters from the city wall. This distance is just out of reach of the strong crossbow.

"Hey number, hey number..." As soon as night fell, a neat number of chants sounded outside the city, and no matter where there were people or places where there were no people, there were such voices.

This, Cao Cao was worried about Yang Yu's team, and shot arrows following the sound, so there was a flower everywhere, and the sound of chant was everywhere, making it impossible to judge where the chant came from .

"General, are we going to shoot out of the fire?" "Don't worry, let everyone pay close attention first. First, we need to judge the distance of the sound, and we also need to judge whether there are footsteps coming towards us." , Then, just observe. At this time, you can still see some black shadows. When you really can’t see clearly, shoot out the fire, otherwise, our fire is still not enough, I’m afraid it won’t be enough until dawn."

This is something I didn't expect. Whether it is the materials for the rocket or the materials for the crossbow, they are all ready, but the firewood pile is not ready. It is too late to transport it here, but fortunately, it has been removed from outside the city. I bought some wood, which solved the urgent need. That's it. I also demolished some houses in the city, and I just felt that it was enough.

"Haha, haha, there is no way for Jugong and this time to solve it. Pass me an order. If the arrow tower is in place and it is still dark, I will immediately attack the opponent's city."

Seeing that the journey to the Arrow Tower was over halfway, Cao Cao laughed happily from behind.

However, everyone knows that Cao Cao is a crow's mouth, no, he just finished laughing.

"My lord, what's that?" Suddenly, Xun Yu noticed that the opponent's city had started to glow with fire.

"Could it be that if they want to light up the city, isn't this a target for us? Ah, no, why did the fire light become a line? Hurry up and go to someone to observe what's going on."

Before he finished speaking, he saw scattered fires on the battlefield.

"This, this, how did they send the fire to the battlefield?" Cao Cao was a little surprised, but he was not too surprised. You must know that neither Jushou nor Yang Yu are good stubblers, and they will not be caught by fire. Such a little thing is difficult, but it is normal for an unknown fire to appear.

At this time, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go, go back to rest, and attack on time tomorrow morning."
