Rebirth of Lu Bu, the tyrant of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 215, Catapult, breaking through Yanmen County
I saw that more than ten catapults had already been set up on the ground, which were five feet high and very heavy. There were four wheels installed underneath, and it took three or five soldiers to push them.

Cao Ji is still assembling.

Lu Bu walked over excitedly, and gently stroked the catapult, "Haha, with this great object, wouldn't it be easy to attack the city?"

Cao Ji said with a smile, "The general is really discerning, and he can see the magical effect of this thing at a glance."

Lu Bu said, "Brother Cao is really timely. I wonder how many catapults you have brought."

Cao Ji straightened up and said, "The military adviser has already expected that the general's attack on the city will not be so smooth, so he specially asked me to bring 20 taels of catapults to help the general."

Lu Bu nodded with a deep expression, "20 taels, although the amount is not a lot, but it is enough."

Cao Ji continued, "This catapult has just been successfully developed. It has not been tested yet due to the urgent time. I don't know how powerful it is."

Lu Bu gently caressed the body of the catapult. The catapult is actually not complicated. It is just a huge lever. The long end is a leather case or a wooden basket for carrying stones, and the short end is tied with dozens of ropes. At that time, dozens of people pulled the rope at the same time, using the principle of leverage to throw the stone,
But the ancients can have such an invention is already very powerful.

"Then let's try the power of this catapult," Lu Bu said.

Lu Bu ordered people to turn the car around, and then ordered two soldiers to put a face-sized stone on the catapult.

With a wave of one hand, he yanked the rope that usually only four or five men could pull.

"bang"

I saw a boulder hitting the air and flying into the distance.

The powerful blow made the air roar.

"Boom"

A wooden house tens of feet away instantly turned into pieces of wood, which shows the power of the catapult.

It will definitely turn decay into magic and win Yanmen County in one fell swoop.

On the second day, Lu Bu ordered people to line up 20 catapults outside the city.

Guo Bang stood at the top of the city and looked at these cumbersome big guys, but he didn't know what they were.

"bang"

With a sharp pull of Lu Bu's right hand, a huge boulder flew towards Yanmen Pass.

"Boom"

A shocking sound sounded nearby, and two Xiliang soldiers were smashed to death.

There was a slight smile on the corner of Lu Bu's mouth, "Hey, it's really powerful."

Seeing Cao Ji sweating profusely, Lv Bu felt very relieved. He didn't know how many good deeds he had done in his previous life to get so many brothers to help him.

Guo Bang walked over quickly and looked at the masonry on the ground that had been smashed by the catapult.

My heart couldn't help but "bang bang".

"I don't know what it is, it's so powerful," Guo Si whispered.

Lu Bu stood up first with Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand.

He said angrily, "Xiliang Army, listen, I will give you another chance. If you surrender now, I, Lu Bu, will definitely not embarrass you."

"When I attack the city, I will definitely let you wait for a piece of armor."

Lu Bu's voice was like thunder, deafening and resounding through the entire army.

Guo Bang couldn't help but feel a little afraid, but he was unwilling to surrender in Kaesong.

Seeing that Guo Bang still didn't respond at all, Lu Bu swung his right hand violently.

Twenty catapults fired stone bombs at Yanmen Pass at the same time.

Only the sound of "whoosh" was heard.

Then there was the sound of "bang bang bang" explosions, and the screams of the Xiliang army.

Twenty catapults fired dozens of shells in a row. Although the entire Yanmen Pass looked dilapidated, it was still indestructible.

Although Guo Si's army was damaged, it had no effect on their army.

As long as one person falls, another person will immediately rise up.

Although Lu Bu's army was assisted by catapults, they retreated again under the fierce attack of the enemy.

Lu Bu frowned and thought for a while, looking for a better way.

At this time Luo Songdao, "General, Yanmen Pass is too big. We only have [-] catapults. The aimless attack like just now has no obvious effect. I have been observing just now. The arrows and crossbows above Yanmen Pass are very powerful. The arrows are fast, and we can concentrate the catapults to smash the arrow crossbow.

Then we will gather the catapults to storm the gate of Yanmen Pass, as long as the city gate is broken, you only need to give me two thousand cavalry, and I will be able to take Yanmen pass."

Lu Bu nodded, "That's right, why didn't I see it just now."

Then he said loudly, "Who is sure to knock down the arrow crossbow on the top of the city?"

Everyone was not sure. After all, the catapult had just been produced, and everyone's experience was not very rich. It was already very good to be able to launch it successfully.

It is indeed difficult to launch at a fixed point.

The two brothers who were driving the catapults did not speak either.

I just slightly adjusted the angle of the catapult, and then put the boulders on, and checked again whether the angle had shifted.

Then he ordered the three soldiers to pull the rope violently.

Only a "whoosh" was heard.

A stone the size of a face flew straight towards the arrow crossbow of the Yanmen Gate.

Everyone raised their heads high, looking at the flying stone.

"Boom"

It was just a boulder, and the mechanism arrow crossbow above Yanmen Pass was smashed to pieces in an instant.

It's really heartwarming.

Lu Bu couldn't help but look at the two brothers differently, and said excitedly, "Hey, what are the names of your two brothers? This catapult casts well, and it hits a hundred shots."

The faces of the two soldiers showed a look of joy, "General Qi, one of our two brothers is called Zhang Hu and the other is called Zhang Meng. They practiced throwing stones when they were young, and they have some experience."

Lu Bu patted the leader Zhang Hu on the shoulder, "Do you have the confidence to break through the gate of Yanmen Pass?"

"Well, if this is just a catapult, the chances should be very small, after all, the city gate is very strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Of course, if twenty catapults are launched simultaneously, the power will be different, and it will definitely be able to smash the city gate."

With Lu Bu's order, twenty catapults rushed towards Yanmen Pass at the same time.

"Boom"

"bang"

The entire gate collapsed in an instant.

Luo Song led two thousand cavalry to gallop away, and was the first to enter Yanmen Pass.

Yue Fei led the Yue family army to follow closely behind, the battle was orderly, and the attack speed was extremely fast.

In just half an hour, Zhang Fei had already waved the banner with the word Lv on the tower.

He said excitedly, "Brother, we have captured Yanmen Pass."

Guo Bang saw that the situation was so bad, if he continued to retreat, he would be besieged by Lu Bu's army in the city and wiped out one by one.

In one go, he led more than [-] Xiliang troops to swarm out of the city.

The two armies fought bravely and killed countless Xiliang troops.

Guo Si wanted to run away, but Zhang Fei stopped him.

The two fought more than [-] times, Zhang Fei cut off one of his arms with a spear, and was rescued by the Xiliang army.

The sky over Yanmen County was still filled with the smoke of war, and the sky was a little gloomy, looking very bleak.

The ground is full of body parts and the bodies of soldiers who died in battle.

Lu Bu led more than ten guards walking in the city.

Yanmen County is close to the grassland, the geographical environment is harsh, and the population is not very large, so the people suffered very little loss.

Looking at the body of the Xiliang thief lying on the ground.

Lu Bu said, "The weather is hot recently, so hurry up and order people to gather these corpses outside the city and burn them in a big fire. If the corpses rot, it will be very horrible here, and it is very likely that a plague will form."
