Lu Dynasty

Chapter 642
Yuan Shao's troops fought on morale. Originally, the morale of Yuan Shao's army was low because of the unfair distribution of food. Later, the morale of Yuan Shao's army was low because of the harassment of Jizhou by foreigners. Now, the morale of Yuan Shao's army has plummeted after being thrown by me. Yuan Shao sees Looking at the lifeless Quyangcheng, he was extremely anxious.But Lu Bu wandered around Quyang for a few days without using the catapult, Yuan Shao thought that our army's catapult was broken!In ancient times, craftsmen were not looked down upon, and it was common to cut corners and materials. In Yuan Shao's mind, craftsmen were all cunning. Even if some of them were highly skilled, it was impossible for them to make durable war equipment, because Yuan Shao Military equipment is often reimbursed!It's just that Yuan Shao doesn't know how the craftsmen under my command can compare with those under his.The treatment I give to the craftsmen has caught up with the treatment of Yuan Shao's advisers and generals. Are these craftsmen still working hard?

A few days later, our army was still accumulating stone bombs, which was actually enough, but Lu Bu said that it would be enough to smash it once, so that Yuan Shao could have a good time!I have no reason to refuse Lu Bu's request, but I am a little worried whether the trebuchet can withstand such a high-intensity operation!However, when the time comes, I will ask Lu Bu to take some with me and keep some as backup, so it should be fine!Yuan Shao didn't know our army's plan. He saw that our army hadn't used the trebuchets for several days. In order to boost morale, he ordered to inform the whole army that all our army's trebuchets were broken.Yuan Shao's soldiers felt relieved after hearing Yuan Shao's announcement, but what Yuan Shao said was not the truth.On the second day after Yuan Shao informed the whole army, Lu Bu once again took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under the city of Quyang. This time it was not the craftsmen who erected the catapults, but our soldiers set up dozens of catapults under the city.

The soldiers in Quyang City were shocked when they saw it, and hurriedly sent someone to inform Yuan Shao!Yuan Shao looked at the giant standing below the city, and almost popped his eyes out. He didn't understand why our army had such a sharp weapon, but it took several days to take it out. Lu Bu didn't care about Yuan Shao's reaction, and he threw the big halberd in his hand. He pointed and shouted: "The whole army is on alert, the catapult is ready to shoot!" With Lu Bu's voice, Quyang City was in chaos.It's a pity that although the catapults of our army have not changed, the people who manipulate them have.The soldiers were not as good as the craftsmen, and the catapults the soldiers rigged could not hit at fixed points. The flying stones were like headless flies, flying randomly above Yuan Shaojun's head, some smashed on Quyang City, and some fell to the ground. It fell into the Dazhai on the edge of Quyang City.Now, not only Quyang City is in chaos, but even the Dazhai under the city is in chaos!The generals of Yuan Shaojun hurried to appease the troops, but even if there were countless flying stones flying around their heads, he couldn't calm down!Who knows which stone will fall on top of his own head?
Seeing Yuan Shao's army in chaos, Lu Bu was indescribably proud.He repeatedly ordered our army to speed up the speed of the trebuchet projection.This time, due to the large number of stone bombs, after smashing for half an hour, there was still a small pile of stone bombs placed behind the trebuchet. This was because I forced Lu Bu to keep some of them!Suddenly, Lu Bu heard a loud bang. He looked back and saw that a catapult collapsed under the weight, and several soldiers who were vertically catapulting the catapult were also injured!Lu Bu hurriedly gave the order to save people, and at this moment, the two trebuchets next to them also fell down with a click.The direction of the fall was facing Lu Bu.Lu Bu raised the halberd in his hand and lifted the catapult into the air, and then looked at the other catapults, which seemed to be crumbling too!Lu Bu quickly ordered to stop the projection and dismantle the catapult!Yuan Shaojun didn't settle down until Lu Bu retreated!

Lu Bu didn't enjoy smashing the last time. Although it took a little longer this time than last time, he still didn't feel satisfied.Lu Bu went back to the big tent and threw the helmet on the desk and said, "Brother, the things from the Ministry of Industry are really not good. It hasn't been used for a long time, but several of them broke, and even injured my soldiers!"

"I told you it's a test product. You still use it so desperately, can it not be broken?" I looked at Lu Bu helplessly. It is indeed my sorrow to have such a stupid brother, even if his martial arts are very good!

"Then tell them to make finished products quickly!" Lu Bu said nonsense, "Brother spends so much money on them every year, and now he only uses experimental products to perfuse you. I think they should all be killed!"

"You think it's so easy!" I looked at Lu Bu and said depressedly, "There are no blueprints for these things, and they were all made by Ma Jun and Pu Yuan according to my ideas and Liu Ye's broken Luban secret record." , how easy is it to get a finished product? What's more, are we satisfied with the kind of thing that only smashes a hundred or two hundred steps? The current catapult can hit the city at more than three hundred steps. If the research is successful, it will be a magical weapon for conquering cities!"

"It's torture if you can't use such a magical weapon!" Lu Bu laughed and said, "Brother, let them study it quickly!"

"Are you worried about the efficiency of the Ministry of Industry?" I smiled and said, "Write down the usage of the catapult, and take the damaged catapult to Jinyang to see if it can be repaired! As for the others, continue to use it! "

Lu Bu smiled wryly and said, "Brother, those that haven't broken now, I'm a bit worried about them. I guess they won't be used a few times. We'd better send all the catapults to Jinyang, and wait for the people from the Ministry of Industry to clean them up before using them." !” It was rare for Lu Bu to say two reasonable words, and I would naturally agree.Originally, this batch of catapults was an unexpected joy. I heard that they were improved because of Huang Yueying's opinions. Now they have to be sent back for repairs, which is just to let our army return to its original shape. It's hard to get back to the way it was!
In fact, Quyang City can still be repaired, even if it is expanded.It's just that Yuan Shao never regarded Bingzhou as his territory. In his opinion, building Quyang City is helping me tidy up my territory!Looking at the battered and battered Quyang City, Yuan Shao wanted to cry but had no tears.Although he saw several of our army's catapults fall down, the remaining catapults could still knock down the city wall of Quyang.Yuan Shao didn't know that our army's catapults had reached their limits. He could comfort himself when he was attacked by catapults for the first time, but the second baptism made Yuan Shao a little scared.

Gathering people together, Yuan Shao wanted to discuss a countermeasure.But if there is a countermeasure, those generals and counselors under Yuan Shao who like to fight for power and profit have already proposed it on their own initiative!Seeing the silent tent, Yuan Shao planned to retreat for the first time.After all, Quyang City is just a small city, still in Bingzhou.Yuan Shao felt that if I could rely on a strong city, my catapult would be helpless!
