Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 245 Wanting to Break the Zhongping Gun, Nine out of Ten People Are Injured

Both the forge and Cao Mu are very efficient...

However, within three days, the samples of the three long spears, the Red Tassel Spear, the Double Hook Spear, and the Hook Sickle Spear, had been forged.

After Lu Yu checked them all, he sent someone to send them to Xiahoudun's mansion for his nephew Xiahoumao to try...

Lu Yu also specially sent someone to record Xia Houmao's experience after using it.

Don't look at this small step, it is very important for the "Pikemen" as a whole.

It has always been Lu Yu's goal to form a powerful infantry regiment.

To know…

Sui and Tang Dynasties are strong, strong in fine riding.

But the Ming Dynasty is strong, but it is the cooperation of the infantry corps. It is true... Today's infantry is limited by equipment, and it is still unable to cause destructive power and lethality similar to cavalry on the battlefield.

But... once the spearmen, Mo Dao soldiers, and even the future Liannu Battalion cooperate...

With the successful practice of mandarin duck formation and other formations, it is possible for Lu Yu to build a strong infantry team in Cao Ying, and he must take a long-term view.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and the spear forging in this first step is very important.

but…

In addition to this, in Lu Yu's view, there is another top priority now.

That is... the last difficulty of Lao Cao's southward attack on Shouchun!
just now…

At first glance, it seems that Lao Cao's side has plenty of soldiers, horses, money, food, and military resources, while Yuan Shu's side is scattered and has no food. But in fact... Lao Cao still has a huge difficulty, that is, the transportation of food.

The location of Shouchun City is a depression.

And Lu Yu knew that this year's rain was plentiful, which resulted in a large number of water pools and dangerous shoals near Shouchun...

This is a huge test for Cao Ying's grain transportation.

If so... this problem is not resolved, I am afraid that the heads of many grain officials in Cao Ying will be borrowed by Cao Cao.

If it's just a death of a food officer, then it's not a big problem, but I'm afraid... this battle has been fought for too long, and things will change if it is too late!
For this reason, Lu Yu set up a "Hundred Crafts Class" in Taixue in advance!
It stands to reason that the Baigong class should be offered in the third or even the fourth year of the Taixue. For example, Cao Cao, who once studied at the Taixue, had the results of the Baigong class in one of the final graduation examinations!
In addition, the "dirtiest", "most tiring" and "most bitter" of this course is also an important reason.

only…

Lu Yu couldn't wait that long. In the first school year, he taught all kinds of crafts, and the only subject he taught was woodworking!
To be precise, it is a wooden cow and a flowing horse!

"Cough cough..."

In the classroom, Lu Yu coughed lightly, and he stood in front of fifteen students.

Usually Taixue has 15 students in a class, except for specific large classes, all of them are small class teaching...

"I always ask you Tai students, you can't sit in sedan chairs to show off, show off your prestige, and pretend to be majestic, and you are not allowed to bring book boys and maids. This is to let you proceed from reality and learn more life skills. Among them, 'Baigong' has always been the most important thing for me."

Now that there are more lectures, Lu Yu is used to this kind of pretentiousness in front of students...

Ah no, it's the feeling of teaching in front of students.

More importantly, Lu Yu felt that his skin was getting thicker.

"It is important to learn the knowledge of textbooks, but you can master the skills of life... Maybe it will help you a lot in the future, such as being a good carpenter, building a wall, weaving mats, baskets, hoops, and chisels Stones, smashing copper basins, supporting pots and stoves, grinding mirrors, blacksmithing, casting... Even if you have a skill, you will become a master craftsman admired by everyone in the future."

actually…

There is no need for Lu Yu to talk about the importance of Baigong earnestly.

After all, Zhuyu is in front, and Cao Sikong's eldest daughter, Cao Mu, can manage the forge at a young age, and is admired by countless people. The weapons she forged have played an extremely important role on the battlefield...

This made Cao Sikong and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty stare sideways.

Such grades?Who is not excited?

Lu Yu's words continued. "From now on, within one month, I want you to cooperate to complete the study of carpentry in Baigong, and at the same time, figure out this! And make this!"

While speaking, Lu Yu took out a bamboo slip from his bosom.

He handed it to Tai student Zhuge Jun and asked him to pass it on.

Zhuge Jun took a closer look, and saw that there were six large characters engraved on the outside of the bamboo slip - "The Method of Making Wooden Cows and Horses"!
Immediately my heart was full of doubts.

He is so confused, let alone someone else, what is a wooden cow?Flowing horse?

The entire fifteen college students stared at each other with big eyes... question marks all over their heads.

Of course, they won't know.

This "Wooden Cow and Flowing Horse Method" is a construction method and theory summed up by some scholars in later generations trying to imitate the "Wooden Cow and Flowing Horse" invented by Zhuge Liang.

It introduces the shape of the wooden ox and the dimensions of various parts of the Liuma in detail, but unfortunately, all of them are written descriptions without drawings, so they cannot be reconstructed based on them.

Undoubtedly, the difficulty of creating it has also greatly increased.

Lu Yu didn't have time to study this, so he left it to these "smart" students...

According to the principle that three cobblers are the best of Zhuge Liang, how can these fifteen students be the best of five Zhuge Liang?

Take ten thousand steps back and say, there is Zhuge Liang among them!

Lu Yu continued to give orders.

"Our Taixue specially hired three local craftsmen to teach you the skills of carpentry, but... after all, they can't make this wooden cow and horse, which requires you to continue to try further."

"As for materials, don't worry, our Xu Capital City doesn't have many other things, only wood!"

Speaking of this, Lu Yu smiled.

"Every five of you form a team, whichever team can make this wooden horse first, I will reward you heavily..."

Speaking of this, Lu Yu looked at Zhuge Jun meaningfully...

He pondered, "Kong Ming", this matter... depends on you!

This is out of the way...

Some imperial students, such as Zhuge Jun, Huang Xu, Cao Ang, etc., were eager to try, but Xia Houba and Xia Houheng were a little bit less interested. They spent so much effort just to learn carpentry?Make a wooden cow?Is it a flowing horse?

What does this... mean?
And you can't forge magical weapons like sister Cao Mu, which can play a decisive role on the battlefield!

For a while... Xia Houyuan and the two cubs felt dull.

According to their conception, even if you want to learn all kinds of crafts, you should also learn core subjects such as forging and smelting.

At the end of the day, carpentry...they don't like it.

From their eyes, Lu Yu can see something, but... the problem is not big, let these pampered Tai students suffer a little bit.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu strode out of the classroom, leaving the rest of the time for the three carpenter teachers.

Carpentry is not an easy job, requiring skill far beyond strength.

To put it bluntly, it is to take care of yourself!
Lu Yu pondered...

In this short month, these Tai students have suffered a lot. They not only have to learn to use chisels, planes, drill holes, drill holes... but also think about how to make this wooden cow and horse. The final result must be three words — Tired as a dog!

...

...

Xu Capital City, Sikong Mansion.

At this moment, Cao Cao and Xun Yu were standing in the main hall of Sikong Mansion.

There is a bamboo slip in Cao Cao's hand, and Xun Yu's eyes are also dazzling.

"Cao Sikong, just as Lu Sinong predicted, the opportunity has really arrived!" Xun Yu's tone was rather serious, with a gleam of coldness in his eyes.

He claimed to help the Han family, and naturally had zero tolerance for the traitor Yuan Shu's act of proclaiming himself emperor.

"I didn't expect Sun Ce to send troops to attack Yuan Shu, and I didn't expect Yuan Shu's seven-way army to attack Lu Bu was so vulnerable."

Cao Cao looked at the bamboo slips and said...

The bamboo slips record the recent situation in Jianghuai.

On the surface, Sun Ce and Yuan Shu officially broke up and fought against each other;
Lu Bu defeated Yuan Shu in Xiapi City because of Chen Si and Chen Deng's strategy!
In fact, these are not the point.

The point is, in the past half month, Cao Cao has received more than [-] letters of surrender. It can be said that...the civil servants and generals who are beside Yuan Shu are not traitors or undercover agents, but they are in the minority.

The most important thing is that Cao Cao received a letter of surrender from a family.

——Xiapi Chen.

Speaking of the Xiapi Chen family, it is the descendant of Taiwei Chen Qiu during the period of Emperor Ling, the family of officials...

At that time, the big man, the Taiwei Chen Qiu and the great Confucian Ma Rong were world-renowned figures, and they jointly promoted Lu Zhi, the general of Zhonglang.

It can be said that the Chen family in Xiapi City has a very strong heritage, and Chen Si and Chen Deng are also representatives of the Xuzhou Celebrity School.

Originally Cao Cao was still thinking, didn't Lu Bu win over the Danyang faction and suppress the celebrity faction and common people faction?Why... Now, in reverse, Chen Si, Chen Deng and his son will help him defeat Yuan Shu.

But only a few days...

Then he received a letter from Xiapi Chen's surrender.

Of course, this was expected. In the past, Yu'er had analyzed that Xuzhou was a big dye vat, Liu Bei held on to the common people's faction tightly, and Lu Bu did not hesitate to marry Cao Bao's daughter as his wife, so he was tied to the Danyang faction. So...the Celebrity faction has no backing, and it is the force that Cao Cao can win over.

Now it can be said that it is as expected, although the conclusion of Yu'er's analysis is a little bit late, but it is late but it arrives.

The surrender of the Chen clan in Xiapi made Cao Cao keenly aware of the opportunity...

Not only is it a fighter opportunity to wipe out Yuan Shu in one go, but it is also a fighter opportunity to eliminate Lu Bu, a confidant, at once.

Now... the situation has become extremely clear.

The workers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were in Chen Guo, ready to be Cao Cao's vanguard army to attack Yuan Shu at any time.

Sun Ce broke with Yuan Shu completely, and also planned to go north to attack Yuan Shu's southern counties, which would surely restrain many of Yuan Shu's troops.

And Lv Bu had just defeated Yuan Shu, and...beside him, Cao Cao's secret work was also hidden...

The time is ripe to capture Shouchun City, and even Xiapi City.

"The opportunity must not be missed, the time will never come again!" Cao Cao's eyes suddenly narrowed, his appearance became extraordinarily stern, and his whole body exuded a stern and murderous aura. "I have decided that the army will go south tomorrow to wipe out Yuan Shu! Make a thorough decision!"

Hearing this, Xun Yu nodded.

"Indeed...the time Lu Si Nong mentioned has already arrived. What we need to do now is to take down Shouchun City in one go, but..."

Speaking of this, Xun Yu's eyes flashed with hesitation, as if there was something unspeakable.

"Mr. Xun Ling, you might as well speak up if you have something to say." Cao Cao asked immediately.

"Cao Sikong noticed..." Xun Yu paused again after speaking halfway, his eyes looked out of the window, and then he asked, "Cao Sikong noticed the recent weather?"

weather?

Is it raining day after day?

Cao Cao was startled, but only for a moment, Xun Yu's reminder suddenly made Cao Cao realize a terrible thing.

Grain delivery...

It is true that rainy weather will slow down the marching speed, but this is not critical. It will not have a big impact on arriving at Shouchun City sooner or later.

But... the establishment of grain roads and the transportation of grain and grass will become a big problem.

Shouchun City is a depression. Once it rains continuously, it will be muddy and watery.

Soldiers and horses may still be able to read the past...

Carts that can transport grain will overturn in this pool of water if they are not careful, and the cycle of transporting grain will become longer, which is a huge hidden danger.

Cao Cao had spent half his life fighting against food shortages, and now... Cao Cao's brows frowned again.

He sighed: "Xun Lingjun reminded that it is the rainy season now, and the rain has been exceptionally abundant in the past few years after the severe drought. This weather is indeed a hidden danger."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao exhaled and hesitated for a moment.

But... at the end, his eyes opened as usual, still full of murderous intent. "God-sent opportunity, the opportunity to wipe out the rebels is right in front of us, we can't delay any longer!"

In a word...

Cao Cao ordered loudly, "Where is Zhongkang?"

"The end is here." Xu Chu walked in quickly.

"You send someone to order the generals of the battalions to come to the Sikong Mansion immediately to discuss matters! Tomorrow the three armies will march out to suppress the traitors and punish Yuan Shu!" Cao Cao's words were low, but extraordinarily heavy.

"Here." Xu Chu bowed his hands and took the order...

No matter how long that guy Yuan Shu has been bouncing around for a long time, now...let alone a general, even Xu Chu is a little eager to try.

- fuck it!

Only Xun Yu didn't look good.

It is true that now Yuan Shu is surrounded by enemies and people's hearts are fluctuating. For Cao Cao and the court, it is an opportunity to complete their achievements in one battle!

But... God is not beautiful.

Food roads, food... This is a huge hidden danger!

I don't know how many court soldiers will die because of this hidden danger!
Indeed, according to the historical duel between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu.

Especially in the last offensive and defensive battle of Shouchun City, Cao Cao was constrained by food and grass, so he had to choose a quick attack...and facing the towering Shouchun City, such a strong attack is not wise.

It is true that Cao Cao won in the end, but it was a miserable victory, losing tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

And each of these is a bloody life!

At this moment, Xun Yu naturally didn't know so much, but he could predict that once he was restricted by food... he would definitely kill a thousand enemies and damage himself by eight hundred!

...

...

Xu capital city, conquered the general's mansion in the East.

Enlightened, Xia Houmao felt that he had enlightened, completely enlightened.

After being reminded by Lu Yu, he realized the true meaning of "36 Routes of Yang's Spear"... Even when he used the spear technique, he became free to do so.

One move at a time, no longer deliberate, wantonly swaying... He felt like he was dancing.

in particular…

——Red Tassel Spear!

That's right, it was one of the three brand-new spears sent by my mentor.

Although Xia Houmao couldn't figure it out, why is this gun obviously Baiying?But it must be called the Red Tassel Spear?

But this does not prevent him from using this brand new red-tasseled gun to use the 36-way Yang family gun!

chi chi chi...

At this moment, in the courtyard of General Zhengdong's Mansion, the red-tasseled spear was like a poisonous dragon, shuttled back and forth in Xia Houmao's hands, stabbing repeatedly... the sharp tip of the spear kept piercing the air, causing sharp noises again and again.

This is a move in the Yang Family Spear that he used wantonly. It can also be called "Zhongping Spear". It is a random change of move, but there is a lot of knowledge in it, and the most important thing is to stick a thread. .

What is "take a thread?"

When using the middle-level spear, the arm should quickly push out the body of the spear, and be in line with the long spear, stab it out in a straight line, reaching the tip of the spear, bursting out with force, not only must the thrust be urgent, but also be retracted quickly.

Only in this way can we give full play to the advantages of long weapons, truly achieve one inch long and one inch stronger, maximize the destructive power, and kill with one blow!

"done…"

Xia Houmao couldn't help but sigh with emotion...

But there was no joy on his face, on the contrary he felt a little strange.

Why did it work this time?

Herein lies the problem.

In the past, because of the weight of the "long gun", it was too difficult to keep the arm in line with the long gun, but... using this brand new long gun, because the gun shaft is made of wood, the whole long gun is much lighter, and because of this ... Only then can the "Zhongping Gun" be played almost perfectly this time.

And this... In Xia Houmao's view, his spear skills are undoubtedly one step closer.

The so-called - "If you want to break the Zhongping gun, nine out of ten people will be injured!"

Once the changes in the "Zhongping Spear" in the Yang family's guns can be maximized, then...

Xia Houmao didn't dare to imagine.

He tried to continue dancing with the red-tasseled gun...

After stabbing hundreds of spears in a row, he was already sweating profusely, but...every time he used the Yang Family Spear, he felt completely different from before.

Collapsing guns, cloud guns, point guns, splitting guns, twisting guns, dancing flower guns...

"Buzzing..."

Under Xia Houmao's dancing, the red-tasseled spear slammed the air fiercely, humming repeatedly.

The more he uses it, the more he feels that this brand new red-tasseled spear seems to be tailor-made for the marksmanship he has learned, and combined with the state of "closed and locked mind", it can be used wantonly and eclectic.

this moment…

Xia Houmao felt that he could beat ten biological fathers!
"boom…"

With a forceful slash, the barrel of the spear even became a little bent, but the red-tasseled spear has excellent toughness and recovered quickly.

And if the slashing stab hit someone's body just now, it would definitely shatter the bones!
If it hits the head, it must be a brain burst.

Don't underestimate the Yang family gun...

This is the crystallization of wisdom of countless spear masters for thousands of years!

Every move and every move is the most practical move.

"No..." Xia Houmao frowned. "I have to go to Taixue to compare with Xiahouba..."

tread…

Just as he took a step, Xia Houmao shook his head. "No, with this long spear and this realm, Xiahouba is no longer my opponent! Find my father... yes, find him to make gestures!"

after all…

At this moment, Xia Houmao felt that he could beat ten fathers.

If he went to look for Xiahouba, wouldn't he be underestimating himself?

"Two years, two full years!"

"Father, my child feels...has realized the true meaning of this Yang family spear!"

tao tao…

With continuous footsteps, Xia Houmao mounted his horse with a gun and galloped towards the Qingzhou barracks.
