The Three Kingdoms began with the rescue of Mrs. Mi

Chapter 678 Master, you are too powerful
Historically, Chen Tai really recognized Sima Zhao's true face after he killed the emperor Cao Mao. Chen Tai finally understood the meaning of "Sima Zhao's heart is known to all passers-by". I regretted my choice during the Gaoping Mausoleum Incident.

Out of his own interests, he helped Sima Yi and his son defeat Cao Shuang, but he never thought that the always loyal Sima would replace Cao.

Liu Feng was determined to take Wancheng, but he didn't care how Chen Tai came to defend the city.

In autumn and October, Liu Feng swore an oath in Xiangyang and led the main force of the [-] Han army, plus [-] auxiliary troops, to the north.

As soon as the army arrived in Wancheng, Liu Feng ordered to encircle Sanqueyi and set up camps in the east, south, and west directions. Lead the new field soldiers to sit in the town, and the west will be guarded by Liao Hua and the soldiers from Xiong'er Mountain.

For this arrangement, Zhang Quan and Liao Hua had some opinions at first, and felt that Liu Feng should not be put in danger.

However, when Liu Feng led Zhang and Liao around the camp, their eyes turned red involuntarily.

"Your Highness, with so many crossbows, can you give me a few, not too many, three, two, or just one?" Zhang Quan leaned in front of Liu Feng, bowed his head and bowed.

Liao Hua heard Zhang Quan's words from the other side, and snorted coldly: "Zhang Baishui, you have a good idea, even if you get a fight, you won't be able to call me. Without the prime minister's wife, you won't be able to vote if you get it!" A stone?"

Hearing this, Zhang Quan finally stopped talking resentfully.

What he saw just now was really shocking.

A row of about [-] wooden ballistas tall enough to be several people were lined up, the weight ropes creaked, and the stones the size of a millstone were polished before being placed on the throwing ground. in the basket.

Huang Yueying's Jingzhou Academy has already recruited nearly a hundred students in the Tiangong subject. In terms of teachers, besides Pu Yuan, there are also several ingenious professionals.

Some people have funds, and Huang Yueying is full of enthusiasm in researching and developing equipment. She no longer looks down on such small inventions as wooden cows and horses.

Before Liu Feng left Jingzhou, he had mentioned to Huang Yueying about improving Liu Ye's stone cart, and now it has finally achieved results. Twenty counterweight ballistas similar to the Arabian catapult are launched at once. If they hit Wancheng City Head, what an amazing effect that is.

Knock the mountain and shake the tiger.

This time, he didn't want to fight a normal ant-attachment siege, and he didn't even adopt the method of covering the earth and building a mound to ascend the city.

Although the Wancheng area is flat, there are dense hills around the Nanyang Basin, and if there are hills, there will be gravel. If there are no hills, gunpowder can also be used, just to blow up the mountains to get rocks.

Under the city of Wancheng, the east gate.

On the flat and open ground, more than [-] new sharp weapon ballistas of the Han army were lined up.

Liu Feng's banner of the Chinese army was on the sidelines, and Zhao Guang and other relatives nervously guarded the left and right to prevent the defenders in the city from going out to destroy the city. In fact, under the heavy pressure of the Han army besieging the city on three sides, Chen Tai and others did not go out of the city to invite battle at all. idea.

"Your Highness, please give the order." Huang Yueying followed behind Liu Feng, witnessing the great power of the ballista for the first time, and she couldn't wait.

Liu Feng nodded and said approvingly: "With the crossbows carefully crafted by my master, even if Wancheng is a city of gold and soup, it can't stand the continuous bombardment."

After finishing speaking, Liu Feng turned his head and waved to the small Han army holding the flag, signaling to aim at the city wall of Wancheng and launch the first wave of rockfall attacks.

"His Royal Highness King Qin has an order to attack the city and kill these Wei dogs?"

Liu Feng and the others spoke mildly, but the generals under him had no scruples at all, and shouted excitedly one by one. Amidst the bursts of shouting, the gravity twisted the arm and pulled the stone cannon up high, and the rope was stretched to the ground. extreme.

Squeaking sounds came one after another.

Listening to it, it was so harsh that it made my heart tremble.

Chen Tai had been watching the battle from the top of the city tower, condescending, and had a panoramic view.

He had seen those big guys in the Han army camp a long time ago. They seemed to be hair stone chariots, but they didn't seem to be very similar. On the wall of Wancheng, there were also hair stone chariots invented by Liu Ye. Compared with them, they were smaller many.

"Boom, boom!"

The successive ballistas, like falling rocks from the sky, made the Wancheng defenders look ashen. They wanted to hide, but they couldn't find a place to hide on the empty city wall.

The tower where Chen Tai was located had an obvious target. Almost half of the falling rocks hit his surroundings. Chen Tai, who couldn't dodge in time, was hit by the gravel on the head. Blood flowed on half of his cheeks, almost one of his eyes. To be disfigured.

Chen Tai was injured, and the morale in the city was even lower.

Liu Feng's first wave of siege was an unexpected long-range attack. Before a single Han soldier came up, a shower of stone rain came first, no, it was stone hail to be precise.

When the first day was finally over, the surviving generals of the Wei army in the city were all ashamed, as if they had suffered a big defeat, and dodged out of their hiding places.

"General, our boulder carts are all finished!"

"General, after counting, more than [-] generals and soldiers died in the battle, and countless wounded."

When Chen Tai heard this, he almost collapsed on the ground and couldn't get up.

It was like this on the first day, how to keep it after that.

In desperation, he had no choice but to divide the defenders in the city into several waves, one wave to go up and one to prepare, so that even if another wave was hit by falling rocks, the loss would not be too great.

In the city of Wancheng, there are more than [-] Wei soldiers, plus the young and strong and auxiliary soldiers in the city, no matter what, they can gather more than [-] people. Chen Tai doesn't believe it, Liu Feng can kill them all with just the ballista. Stoned to death.

After making some arrangements, Chen Tai became more and more depressed, and took advantage of the gap to call Pei Xiu to give orders.

"Ji Yan, Wancheng is in danger and needs reinforcements urgently. I intend to send you out of the city to Luoyang or Xuchang to look for Sima Taifu. Explain what I mean and tell him that this city can only be guarded for a month at most. If it takes longer , I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep it.”

"You go and tell Taifu Sima that the person who came this time is King Liu Feng of the Kingdom of Shu. What is this man capable of? Needless to say, I, Chen Tai, think that I can't beat him, so we still have to rely on Taifu Sima? "

Among the generals of Wei State, who can deal with Liu Feng, in fact, everyone has no confidence.

Sima Yi was just the taller among the dwarfs, and he won the reputation of Liu Feng's nemesis by relying on a false victory in Wuzhangyuan.

Pei Xiu obeyed the order and found a hanging basket from the city wall to escape outside the north city gate.

Fortunately, Liu Feng let it go, otherwise, Pei Xiu is not a powerful person, and it is impossible to run out of the city.

However, Pei Xiu's ability to distinguish maps is quite good, and he can roughly recognize the direction just by relying on a few twinkling stars in the sky at night.

Historically, Pei Xiu was an expert in cartography. "Yugong Regional Map" pioneered the cartography of ancient China, known as the "father of Chinese scientific cartography", and is as famous as the famous ancient Greek cartographer Ptolemy.
