Lu Dynasty

Chapter 849 The First Wave of Attack

At the top of the city, Cao watched our army set up hundreds of catapults under the city and was a little panicked. He was not like those ignorant people who felt that our army's catapults were too small and had limited power.When I was dealing with foreigners, the catapults of the Ministry of Industry had already shown Cao the sharpness of our military equipment.Cao dare not underestimate these small catapults now!

"Zhongde, Lu Feng's catapult is too powerful, we must send someone to destroy it!" Looking outside the city, Cao said to Cheng Yu beside him, "If he smashed it like this, what morale would our army have? "

In fact, Cheng Yu really wanted to tell Cao that even if our army did not smash, the morale of Cao's army would not be very high.Think about it, there are enemy troops showing off their power outside the city all day long, but the city dare not respond. One day or two is fine, but ten days and a half months later, the generals are fine, but the soldiers feel sorry for each other.

"My lord, why don't we use catapults too!" Cheng Yu measured the distance with his eyes and said, "Although Lu Feng's catapults are out of range of our army, if we set them up at the top of the city, we should be able to hit them! The target is Lu Fengjun's catapult!" Cheng Yu came up with a compromise method, no matter whether he smashed it or not, it was a way, he couldn't let Cao wait to be smashed!
"Try it!" Cao felt a little helpless. When I set up the Ministry of Industry, everyone laughed at me for my self-indulgence.But later, what my Ministry of Industry researched surprised those who laughed at me.Cao Li overcame all opinions and established an organization similar to the Ministry of Industry.But if my Ministry of Industry contributes enough, I can be knighted. With this kind of temptation, most of those skilled craftsmen chose me, and only some craftsmen from rich families chose Cao.

Although craftsmen are involved in different fields from generals and counselors, they are no worse than counselors and generals.The arrival of skilled craftsmen has brought me many technologies.Let future generations use some superficial things.Of course, it would be difficult for me to make some guns and ammunition, but such a simple weapon as a return gun is very easy.Because in essence, the return gun is still a kind of catapult!
I wasn't going to give Cao a chance. As soon as the catapult was assembled, it immediately started firing, and the huge flying stones smashed towards the city of Xuchang with the sound of the wind.The catapult this time is not like the original one. It needs to rest after smashing for a while, otherwise it will be damaged.The main parts of the catapult this time are made of steel and iron. Even if the wooden part is broken, it can be replaced and repaired immediately.What's wrong with a big man, trees that are a hundred years old can be seen everywhere, and trees that are a thousand years old are also considered common. If you go into deep mountains and old forests, although trees that are ten thousand or even tens of thousands of years old are rare, they are not without it!

"Catapult! Isn't our catapult ready yet?" Cao hid under the battlements, looked at the huge boulder flying overhead, and couldn't help asking Cheng Yu loudly: "How long will it take to fight back? Keep going like this , we are defeated without fighting!"

"My lord! We have to wait a while!" Cheng Yu immediately replied when he heard Cao's question: "Our army's craftsmen are not skilled enough, not as fast as Lu Feng's army, and with the flying stones in the air, some catapults have not been erected yet, so we just I was knocked down. It would be great if I could make Lu Fengjun stop!" Cheng Yu's words made the corners of Cao's mouth twitch, if he could make me stop, he might as well let me surrender!

"Tell them to hurry up. If anyone destroys a catapult in Lu Feng's army, I will reward you a lot." Cao gritted his teeth and said, "The more you destroy, the heavier the reward will be! If you can destroy all the catapults in Lu Feng's army, you will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold and seals." Wanhuhou!"

The reward is quite high, but it's a pipe dream.If the remaining craftsmen under Cao can also produce a catapult that is better than our army, then the money I spent on the Ministry of Industry would not be in vain!However, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. Cao Jun's craftsmen really erected dozens of catapults under the stimulation of the reward.Among them, there was an unfortunate lucky guy who destroyed a catapult of our army, but he was hit by a catapult of our army.More than a dozen catapults entertained him, and he was buried on the top of the city before he could receive the reward!

"This is impossible!" Cheng Yu walked up to Cao and said, "My lord, Lu Feng's catapults are too powerful, and our army's catapults simply don't have that kind of precision. Even if you are lucky enough to destroy one of the opponent's, you will immediately be driven mad by the opponent." revenge!"

"Then what should we do?" Cao said helplessly, "I thought that the aristocratic family could make Lu Feng retreat, but who knew that Lu Feng could calm down the aristocratic family so quickly. The Xun family and the Chen family are known as a hundred thousand troops, and even the Yellow Turban army Not as good, Lu Bu only used 2 people to clean them up! What a stupid pig, to fight Lu Bu with house slaves, is it true that the white tiger kills the gods?"

Cao Yi complained, but it didn't help. Cheng Yu thought for a while and said, "My lord, why don't you send troops to destroy Lu Feng's catapult!"

"Zhongde, look at the back of the catapult." Cao said helplessly, pointing to our army who was ready to go behind the catapult: "Lu Feng, Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, they are all ready! If our army goes out to fight, most of them will die!"

"Ah!" Cheng Yu sighed and said, "Then we have to wait until Lu Feng's stone bullets are finished! The morale of our army!"

Compared with Cao's helplessness, Lu Bu was quite happy.In order to prevent Cao from raiding our army's catapult camp, I took Lu Bu and others to line up behind the catapult.As long as Cao Jun moves, our army will rush forward immediately, ensuring that the catapult will never stop until the stone bombs are finished.Of course, based on what I know about Cao, as long as our army is fully prepared, he will never act rashly!

"Brother, Cao will not come, why should we line up here?" Although Lu Bu is not confused, he still has many problems, at least his recklessness, which will never be corrected in this life!
"It's because we are here that Cao didn't come!" Zhao Yun said with a smile, "I bet that as soon as we leave, Cao will fight immediately!"

"Then let's withdraw our troops and return to the camp!" Zhao Yun's words made Lu Bu's eyes light up. This militant actually wanted to use my catapult as a bait!

"Come on!" I looked at Lu Bu and said helplessly, "I spent a lot of money on these catapults, you kid, give me a little peace of mind. Before long, Cao must withdraw his troops and Shouchun. At that time, there will be You fought! Don't dare to talk too much, believe it or not, I will let you be the guard!"

"Brother! My dear brother!" Lu Bu said with a shy face, "I won't say anything, I won't say anything! How could I, Lu Bu, be missing in this charge?"

Everyone saw that Lu Bu was acting funny, and couldn't help laughing, but I looked at Xu Chang thoughtfully, and thought to myself: "Cao Mengde, how long can you hold on?"
