Lu Dynasty

Chapter 850 The Second Wave of Attack

"Your Majesty, we've run out of stone bullets!" An official from the Ministry of Industry walked up to my horse and said, "All the catapults made by the Ministry of Industry have been test-fired this time. Except for a few that were smashed by the opponent, the others are in good condition. .Some of the throwing arms are badly worn and just need to be replaced before they can be put into service again.”

"Didn't I ask the Ministry of Industry to study mud bombs? What are the results?" Looking at the report of the officials of the Ministry of Industry, I couldn't help but frowned and said, "Although this stone bomb is powerful, it is difficult to mine. If there is no stone, how could our army's Catapults become waste?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the mud bomb you mentioned is still being studied!" The official of the Ministry of Industry said: "Although the mud bomb is easy to make, it should not be too large. Otherwise, it will crack when it is dried and it will be difficult to throw!"

"Can't you think of a way to overcome it?" I said angrily: "Ceramics can be fired, so is it difficult to be stuck by a few clay bombs? No, it can't be fired into pottery and then filled with mud!"

"Your Majesty is saying..."

"Don't ask me to tell you everything!" I patted my forehead helplessly and said, "Use your own brains, as long as you have ideas, tell your superiors! Report, approve, and execute if you can! Don't be afraid to spend money, I want The most important thing is the result!"

"Yes! I will tell Lord Shangshu when I get back!" Seeing that I was angry, the officials of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly bowed and left!
"Wait!" I looked at the tall city wall of Xuchang and said, "Prepare some more stone bombs for me. I will be of great use. When you are ready, you can go back to Luoyang. I will send those catapults back!"

The official took the order to retreat, and I couldn't help shaking my head looking at his back.Talented people have ambitions, and those without talent are idle. There are too many mediocre talents in the imperial court, but talents are hard to find. I only hope that the joining of Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong will make my school produce some talents!
A few days later, the Ministry of Industry prepared tens of thousands of stone bombs for me again.Of course, this is a rocky mountain found next to Xuchang, and there are many huge rocks on it, otherwise the official of the Ministry of Industry would cry!When our army's catapult came to the city of Xuchang again, Cao almost cried!
A huge boulder flew by, and Cao hid under the city wall and cursed: "Damn Lu Feng, just dare not attack the city, otherwise I will let you taste the strength of our army..."

"My lord, look!" Cheng Yu looked at the city in horror, and saw tens of thousands of infantry walking out of our camp. These infantry were holding swords, shields, and ladders on their shoulders, as if they were going to attack the city!

"What are they going to do? Are they going to attack the city?" Cao Da was surprised: "Lu Feng never attacked the city, could it be..."

"Fall in the battle! Fall into the battle!" Except for the soldiers who resisted the ladder, our soldiers knocked on the shield with their knives and escorted the ladder to the city.Although some people were shot and fell down, Cao Jun's bows did not cause much damage!

"Trapping camp! It's Gao Shun's trapping camp!" Cao saw a familiar burly man appearing beside me, but after thinking about it carefully, it was my brother-in-law Gao Shun!It has been nearly 20 years since Gao Shun took charge of soldier training in Luoyang, but his heroic demeanor back then is something Cao Jiu can never forget!

"Your Majesty, since it is Gao Shun's camp, the last general, Qu Yi, invites you to fight!" Qu Yi's first entry into the camp was the most elite infantry under Yuan Shao's command, but he was defeated by our army that year.Of course, he never thought that he was incompetent, but that Yuan Shao could not command.Gao Shun's camp is the most elite unit of our army, and now that he is trapped in the camp and attacking the city, Qu Yi naturally cannot let go of this opportunity to rectify his name!
Cao knew Ju Yi's ability, and when Ju Yi took refuge in Cao, he brought no less than 5 people with him.You know, Yuan Shao handed over nearly 10 troops to Qu Yi, but these 5 troops had no chance to fight me, and they collapsed because the food and grass were burned.Afterwards, Qu Yi used his appeal to gather tens of thousands of troops. Later, Ling Zong gathered a total of [-] troops.But the survival of the [-] troops was very problematic, so Qu Yi took these people to join Cao.With food and Ju Yi's ability, these [-] people have the potential to be Cao Jun's first pawn!Of course, because of Cao's suspicion, he would not trust Qu Yi, so he and Qu Yi were in charge of this first camper, so they were banned by Wen Ze!
"Wen Ze, what do you think?" Qu Yi asked for a fight, and Cao naturally wanted to ask Yu Jin.

"Going to the camp first is not afraid of anyone, even if the opponent is Lu Bu!" Yu Jin has never seen how badly he is trapped in the camp, but he knows the level of going to the camp first.In addition, he thinks very highly of himself, and he will not back down.

"Then you all go!" Looking at the confident Qu Yi and Yu Jin, Cao felt that the wind was rustling and the water was cold, and the strong man would never return once he was gone.Immediately, Cao almost slapped himself, how could he curse himself for defeat before fighting?

First boarded the camp to replace the soldiers who had been guarding the city, and the momentum of Xuchang city changed suddenly.

"Huh?" I saw the changes in the city and asked: "Feng Xiao, Xu Chang looks weird!"

Guo Jia, who was standing next to me, raised his eyes and suddenly frowned and said, "This seems to be Qu Yi's first camp!"

"Get to the camp first?" I sneered, "It seems that Cao is really on the right track with me! If he can get Gongsun Zan's white horse Yicong out, I will obey him. Otherwise, just going to the camp first is not enough! , attack the city!"

When the drums sounded, Cao watched our army advance slowly from the top of the city tower, and couldn't help laughing: "Lu Baxian really thinks highly of me. Since he took charge of the army, I have never heard of any city that he has stormed. Now we must storm Xuchang. There is no plan! However, even if he attacks by force, we will not lose to him, beat the drum!"

It's not the first time I've attacked a city with an army, but what I dislike the most is precisely siege.The tall and solid city wall has almost become a purgatory slaughterhouse. The dead, half-dead, cries, and wailing sounds are all the blood of my Han compatriots. If possible, I do not want to fight with them.

To be honest, I still admire Cao very much.At the very least, Cao Qibing, whether it is now or in history, he is not for personal ambition.Just by wishing to engrave the tomb of the marquis of Cao Xi on the tombstone, it is enough to show how noble and respectable Cao's ambition is, and it is better than Liu Bei, who keeps shouting to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, but has no ability at all!The existence of Liu Bei is a drag on the Han people!If it weren't for his persistence, perhaps the power of the Han people would have been stronger during the chaos.

The trapped camp and Xiandeng camp finally collided, and the two strongest infantry from the end of the Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms entered a duel.Shouts, groans, and shouts filled the entire battlefield, and the thrilling confrontation was like two giant waves colliding with water splashing everywhere.No matter who wins and who loses, one side will eventually turn into peace!
