The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 420
The horses galloped wildly on the grass, and a group of Wei troops led by a general raided the border of Youzhou overnight.

The leading general of the Wei Army was handsome and extraordinary in appearance. He looked by no means an ordinary general.

And the cavalrymen under his command were also full of energy. Although they were wearing cowhide armor, judging from the light on the armor, they were definitely high-quality cowhide armor.

Looking at their war horses, they are fat and strong, and the horses are tall. They are not comparable to ordinary war horses. It must be trained by good horses from the Western Regions.

It should be said that such a team of people is a bit wasteful to harass.

"My lord, why did you come here in person? You know..." a follower next to the general of the Wei army asked.

"Father likes the third younger brother, and the third younger brother's temperament is the most like the father's. He is informal and likes to be pragmatic. If I don't work hard... hey." The general of the Wei army sighed secretly and said softly.

Among Wei Jun, the one who can call his father "king" is Cao Cao, who has just been crowned king recently. His crowning of king also directly broke the history that the opposite sex of the Han Dynasty was not crowned king.

And this person is called the eldest son by his subordinates. Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, is dead. At present, the oldest is Cao Pi.

Cao Pi was born to Mrs. Bian, who gave birth to four sons: Pi, Zhang, Zhi and Xiong.Cao Pi is the eldest, and Cao Zhi is the third.

Cao Zhang was martial by nature and didn't like reading. Without martial arts, of course he directly lost the qualification to compete for the throne.

Cao Xiong died very early, leaving only one son, Cao Bing. Cao Bing was still young, so there was nothing to worry about.

From this point of view, Cao Pi's most powerful competitor among Cao Cao's heirs to the throne is Cao Zhi.

But this time Cao Pi personally asked for orders to harass the border of Youzhou, just to show his face in front of Cao Cao and gain some political capital.

In recent years, Cao Cao's health has been deteriorating. After all, he is also a 60-year-old man.

Cao Pi will not be like his third younger brother Cao Zhi, who is full of words and ink in front of Cao Cao, because he knows his own shortcomings, and he can't keep up with Cao Zhi even if he makes a fuss, so Cao Pi wants to make up for his shortcomings in other ways.

It has been about a year since Dongfang Sheng attended Sun Quan's wedding and left Xudu.

During this year, Dongfang Sheng and Cao Cao tried and harassed each other hundreds of times. Both sides wanted to drag down the other's economy and deter the other through such actions, making the other tired of coping.

However, Dongfang Sheng made good use of this situation to train the newly recruited soldiers. After more than a year of tempering, a group of iron-blooded troops who have undergone bloody battles and various surprise attacks have also been in place.

Now Dongfang Sheng has reorganized the army again and divided it into military regions. Each state is a small military region, and Bohai County, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou near Youzhou are the main military regions.And Yizhou, Liangzhou, Sizhou, Jiangdong and Jiaozhou are the Northwest Military Region.

Dongfang Sheng's personal soldiers were renamed Suwei Camp, and each of Badao, Wang Hu, Zhao Kai, Chu Jian, Zhang Bao, Tuobahan, and Sima Bao led a team of seven.

This Suwei Battalion is composed of the most elite soldiers in the Dongfang Victory Army. These soldiers are not only good at infantry warfare, but also have extraordinary horsemanship and various fighting skills. They are also veterans who have experienced many battles.

At the same time, Dongfang Sheng's navy was also reorganized. Gan Ning led the Bohai Fleet, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue led the Jiangdong Fleet.

After reorganizing the army, Dongfang Sheng began to arrange for his generals to sit in some important states and counties.

There are famous generals such as Zhang Liao, Zhang Yun, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, etc., as well as some soldiers who performed outstandingly in combat effectiveness.

Zhang Liao and Zhang Yun sit in Liangzhou and Sizhou together, Ma Chao and Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and Tai Shici sit in Yizhou, Jiangdong and Jiaozhou together.

Naturally, Dongfang Sheng is in charge of Youzhou. In one year, Dongfang Sheng has successfully built commercial roads in Jiangdong through Xuzhou, and various counties and counties in Jiangdong are also stepping up their pace of construction.

The commercial road from Liangzhou and Sizhou to Yizhou has already been opened up.

The commercial road from Yizhou to Jingzhou has also been opened up. It is only necessary to open up the counties and counties in Jingzhou and connect Jiangdong, and Dongfangsheng will be short of Jiaozhou.

The opening of these business routes not only promoted commercial exchanges between regions, but also facilitated the timeliness of military operations.

Dongfang Sheng provided the blueprint, designed by Ma Jun, and the coherent carriage can accommodate 50 people at the same time. It is made of an ancient version of the train. It is pulled by twelve horses at the same time, which can greatly speed up the marching speed and save the soldiers' physical strength.

At the same time, Dongfang Sheng also proposed the concept of an armored vehicle, but Ma Jun did not expect to develop it.

This armored vehicle was Dongfang Sheng's idea based on the appearance of future tanks. Of course, Ma Jun couldn't make a diesel-powered Tucker, but he used cattle to solve the power problem.

At the same time, he designed a set of animal armor to protect the whole body of the cow, and the whole body of the armored vehicle is made of thick iron sheet, which cannot be pierced by ordinary arrows, and even those powerful crossbow bolts for siege can only be made on it. Dents only.

Of course, due to technical problems, only one of this thing has been built so far.

And this car was transported to Youzhou by Dongfang Sheng, and he personally took the soldiers and horses of the Suwei battalion out to ambush.

So when Cao Pi was about to approach the city quietly, a round monster suddenly appeared from the front.

The top of this monster is round, but the bottom is square. If you look closely, there are three pairs of large wooden wheels that are symmetrical on the left and right.

And in front of the monster was a stout bull wearing gleaming scale armor and dragging.

Rumble!
This sound is very shocking.

Cao Pi felt fearful, turned his head and asked, "Has any of you seen this thing?"

The soldiers behind Cao Pi shook their heads in confusion and fear. At this time, the people's wisdom was not very enlightened, and they were in awe of some mysterious phenomena.

However, Cao Pi is not an ordinary person after all, and he directly ordered the attack after taking a deep breath.

Dongfang Sheng, who was in the armored car, glanced at the joystick in front of him, and suddenly laughed at himself a little depressed: "There is no steering, no artillery, this thing can only be called an iron lump, but Ma Jun is really talented, and he actually It's really good to design knives, guns and crossbows."

Cao Pi's soldiers shot the armored vehicle with crossbows and arrows in fear, but unfortunately, these arrows were as weak as scratching their boots, and could only make a series of ding dings, which could not stop the armored vehicle at all.

Because there is no large-scale long-range attack, the armored vehicle is just a big iron lump for close-range attack.

Ma Jun said that he will try to integrate the stone-throwing function of the thunderbolt car into the armored car, but it is unknown when it will come out.

Dongfang Sheng watched Cao Jun swarming up like ants outside, and he didn't feel the slightest panic in his heart. He was waiting for Cao Jun to rush to the best shooting distance, and then pulled the crossbow to achieve the best killing effect.
