My hero is myself

A year later, a great cultivator came down to Kunlun and accepted Sima Luoshui as his disciple.

As expected, she is extremely talented and practices like a reincarnation of an immortal. She has reached the level of Taoism before she is 20 years old.

Today, Sima Luoshui's appearance and temperament are becoming more and more ordinary, and he maintains a slight distance from everyone.

Just in line with the saying, left behind and independent, like the stars in the sky, people can only look up.

This time she took action in Wuzhangyuan, not to give Sima Yi face.

Instead, I received a message from Master.

But cutting off fate with one sword did solve Sima Yi's big trouble.

As long as the old guy who is impossible to defeat is defeated, the Shu Han's Northern Expedition will no longer have any hope, and retreat will be inevitable.

At that time, taking advantage of the chaos in the opposing army's morale to pursue him, he might be able to accomplish a great feat!

Therefore, the Wei army was extremely determined from top to bottom:

Don’t fight for a momentary victory or defeat.

The gods and time are on our side!

Zhuge Liang was also unable to get out of Sima Yi's determination and was helpless.

We can only farm on the front line, fight every day, and look for opportunities.

This situation is actually quite helpless.

The Shu Han's current military strength can only create opportunities to fight against Cao Wei, and they have no strength to attack or besiege the city.

Not to mention that there is a lot of food and grass in Xi County, which can not withstand consumption.

Even if they were really surrounded, they would lose their geographical advantage. Soon Cao Wei's reinforcements from all directions arrived, but the Shu army was caught in a trap.

Zhuge Liang was extremely resourceful and helpless about this.

Sending women's clothes to Sima Yi is simply a no-brainer.

It's a pity that Sima Yi can really tolerate it and doesn't care about this provocation at all.

Sooner or later, the history books will be written by the victors!

The strength gap between Shu Han and Cao Wei can no longer be bridged by strategy and command.

This is actually the evolution of the fighting style in the early and later stages of the Three Kingdoms.

At the beginning of the great chaos in the world, all the princes rose up together, but their subordinates were all trained private soldiers, or simply civilian men who were coerced and forcibly conquered along the way.

Equipment is spotty and training levels are low.

Most of them are not qualitatively different from the Yellow Turban Army.

Therefore, it is very easy for a strong general to lead his troops to rush forward and the whole line collapses.

Due to insufficient training and experience, and inadequate investigation methods, various strategies are easy to take effect, and people can easily create chaos.

Therefore, in the early stage of the Three Kingdoms, there were many powerful generals, full of clever strategies, and various miraculous battles in which the weak defeated the strong.

But now, 50 years have passed since the Yellow Turban Uprising.

The big and small battles have almost never stopped, and the three-legged pattern has been going on for a long time.

In the hands of each family, elites have been honed for a long time. They also know each other's fighting styles in detail, and their command systems have become increasingly mature.

This results in individual prowess and strategy having a declining impact on combat.

The war has gradually evolved into a competition of national strength.

There are enough soldiers, the equipment is good enough, the training is sufficient, and the logistics must keep up.

Only in this way can we win.

This is actually a situation Zhuge Liang does not want to see.

How can Shuhan, a mere state in one state, fight against Cao Wei, who occupies the Central Plains and the north, in terms of national strength and war potential?

If given the choice, he would not want to join forces with Sun to fight against Cao.

Those short-sighted rat villains!

However, without uniting with Soochow, Shu Han would be unable to fight against Cao Wei.

The Northern Expedition he insisted on was a lonely one, using offense instead of defense to harass Cao Wei and consume the opponent's national strength.

Give the rear area time to recuperate and develop.

It's a pity that Sima Yi is not a genius like Zhuge Liang, but he can easily see through this.

As long as it is delayed, victory will belong to Cao Wei, and the villagers of Zhuge will not be around for long...

As a result, Xi County's defenses gradually tightened on the outside and loosened on the inside, and patrols were mostly just a show-off.

Anyway, the enemy will withdraw sooner or later, and the great drama called the Northern Expedition will come to an end.

An era of generals and strategists is coming to an end.

On this ordinary day, thunder suddenly sounded from the sky on a sunny day.

From the direction of Xiegu, the Shu army fought out an army of strange-looking machine puppets.

Their positions were filled with flames and smoke.

The god of death crossed the distance of several miles and came to Yi County out of thin air.

The mechanism puppet developed by Zhuge Liang for the difficult transportation of grain and grass on the Shu Road suddenly transformed into a powerful siege weapon?

The wooden ox, carrying a greater weight, had a howitzer mounted on its back, aiming at the city wall.

With only one volley, one side of the Xixian city wall that had been reinforced several times was blasted open, leaving the cavalry alive to charge directly.

The more lightweight and flexible Liuma, with mortars hung on both sides, used a curved trajectory to directly hit the shells into the city wall.

Fragmented artillery shells filled with gunpowder and marbles exploded on the position.

The flowers of death were in full bloom, and after the smoke and dust passed, blood and bones were mixed together. Even the soldiers who were lucky enough to still be alive had missing limbs.

artillery.

This future God of the battlefield, relying on the weapon-refining strength of practitioners and the rapidly developing industrial strength of the Shu Kingdom, showed his ferocious fangs in Kyushu a thousand years in advance.

Not to mention the Wei army, the temporarily trained Shu army soldiers were all overwhelmed by the momentum and destructive power of these iron guys in their hands.

Damn it, Xi County, which has been at odds for several months, is broken like this?

At this time, Fei Yi, who was in charge of commanding the artillery, turned red and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Keep reloading, cum for me, cum for me!"

The future prime minister was shocked to realize that the magic weapon in his hand was better than what his majesty said, so he could only express his passionate mood with swear words.

It seems like we can really fight our way out of Qishan?

This wooden cow and stray horse are much more powerful than a catapult!

The speed of loading cannonballs is also much faster than hundreds of kilograms of stone bullets.

Zhuge Liang is a war genius with almost full command ability.

This was the first time I experienced the joy of suppressing fire, but I had already realized that this opportunity was not to be missed.

After the artillery battle took effect, three troops were immediately dispatched to attack from the direction of the Wuzhangyuan camp.

Only the last reserve team was left out of habit, and then he took the "telescope" Liu Chan gave him and looked at the miserable current situation of Xi County.

"This thing is quite mysterious, comparable to the art of investigation."

In the past, when Zhuge Liang was highly skilled, he could cover a ten-mile radius battlefield with just one sweep of his consciousness.

The fine operation is naturally extremely delicate.

Later, the cultivation level disappeared and this convenience was missing.

Now with a telescope, he experienced the joy of grasping the overall situation.

Roland stood side by side with the Prime Minister, not only observing the battle situation, but also secretly learning Zhuge Liang's commanding skills.

This top military commander's operations are full of details, and the smoothness of his orders is simply pleasing to the eye.

Artillery opened the way and the whole army attacked. It was impossible to hold on to the tiny area of ​​Xixian County.

At this point it was too late to call for help.

Wei Yan led a group of elite cavalry and rushed into the county seat of Yi County through the gap blasted by the artillery in the city wall like the wind.

The Wei army was completely in chaos.

The soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and those who survived were so shaken that they could not find their way north and lost their formation.

In ancient battles, the infantry did not form a military formation, and without the favorable location for city defense, they were like lambs to the slaughter in the face of the cavalry.

The Shu army's methods were completely unexpected by the Wei army.

Sima Yi was very unlucky, and a cannonball hit the Chinese army's tent.

These generals all had protective jade talismans refined by practitioners and were not directly killed by a single shot.

But the attack mode of this artillery is very different from that of arrows.

The explosion and concussion still caused Sima Yi's ears to bleed, and he was temporarily unable to hear any sound.

Naturally, this state cannot be controlled.

Seeing the chaos in Xi County, the Guards made a prompt decision and retreated first with their commander.

Deputy Wei also tried to take over command and restore order.

But wherever they formed a formation, there would be shells hitting their heads.

Coupled with the fact that Wei Yan entered the city and killed indiscriminately, the Wei army completely pulled up their formation.

"That Zhuge Demon Dao can cast spells again?"

"My legs, my legs are gone!"

"Mom, I want to find my mother..."

"Dog Coin Wei Yan, wait until grandpa recovers from his injuries before I chop your dog's head off!"

Xi County has completely collapsed.

The soldiers had no will to fight and would not know what to do, so they decided to abandon Xi County.

In addition to direct damage, artillery's psychological deterrence and panic caused to soldiers on the battlefield are also important reasons why it will become a god in the future.

Don't talk about these ancient soldiers who have never seen artillery.

Even the first brother in the modern battlefield was confused when he faced the roar of artillery fire and the shaking of the earth for the first time, and only his instincts remained.

If you can achieve [-]% of your daily training, you are already an elite!

But now, artillery roared on Kyushu for the first time, and the Wei army in Xi County collapsed.

[Sima Yi's troops abandoned Yi County, crossed the Weishui River, and retreated to Fufeng County. 】

[The Shu army occupied Xi County, quickly repaired the city defenses, and built fortresses around it. 】

[The Zhaolie Shenwei cannon shocked Cao Wei and Chang'an was panicked. 】

[Cao Rui invites practitioners to discuss imitation. 】

[The practitioner replied that several pieces could be made in a short period of time, but they would not be able to reach the scale of Shu Han, and there would not be enough steel to ensure the supply of ammunition. 】

[Cao Rui marveled at the steel production of Shu Han and had no choice but to send an army to support Sima Yi. 】

[He was strictly ordered to guard the Wei River and not allow Zhuge Liang to cross the river. 】

At this time, Zhuge Liang stationed his main force in Yi County and was not in a hurry to cross the river immediately.

Although they had fought wildly before, their ammunition was actually quite limited and could not support the next siege.

The battle of Xi County almost drained away all the accumulation of Luolan's farming for half a year.

Moreover, they took advantage of the fact that Cao Wei did not know the tactics of the Shu army and was relaxed and unprepared.

But it was also a great success.

The Shu army finally broke out of Qishan and occupied a forward position south of the Weishui River.
