Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 396

"Son Liu Wei, you're angry with me too!"

After returning to Daying, Cao Cao slapped the table angrily and kept cursing Liu Wei.

"My lord, the reason why we lost so badly is because Liu Wei has artillery in his hands. If we want to defeat Liu Wei, we must come up with a way to destroy the artillery!"

Xi Zhicai also frowned slightly, and said to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao nodded, and then said: "Liu Wei is so cunning, the cannon he sold to us is actually his son's version, which is a circle smaller than his cannon! He can hit us, but we can't. He! He can only be beaten passively!"

"Cannon, cannon is nothing more than a word for fire, and the most powerful thing against fire is water. As long as there is water, Liu Weijun's cannon can't fire, and they will lose!"

Liu Ye, the foundry master among Cao Jun, spoke to Cao Cao.

"Oh? What's Ziyang's opinion? Come quickly!"

Cao Cao hurriedly looked at Liu Ye, and asked Liu Ye how to defeat Liu Wei's cannon.

"My lord, don't worry, whether this can defeat Liu Wei depends on God's will!"

Liu Ye pointed to the top of his head and said mysteriously.

"God? Whether I can defeat Liu Wei is still related to God. Could it be that God will send some invulnerable and unafraid of artillery to come down to help me and arrest Liu Wei?"

Cao Cao looked at Liu Ye puzzled, and said angrily.

"Hahahaha, my lord, you really know how to joke. If God really gives you a few heavenly soldiers and generals, then the world will be peaceful!"

Liu Ye laughed loudly, and then continued: "My lord, it's autumn now. Although the weather is hot and dry, there is no autumn that doesn't rain. It hasn't rained a single time since autumn this year. Presumably, this rain is overwhelming. After such a long time, I am afraid that when it comes down, it will not be small. When the heavy rain comes, the artillery will definitely fail. We have tens of thousands of people. Taking advantage of the heavy rain, Jixian will be destroyed! Not only will we be able to break through Jixian, but Liu Wei's artillery will also be defeated. It’s too late to withdraw! The artillery will fall into our hands too! Let’s use Liu Wei’s artillery to attack Liu Wei! Liaozhou can be broken, and Liu Wei can be captured!”

"Wonderful! Great plan!"

Cao Cao clapped his hands and said hello, and then asked, "Then what shall we do now and wait for the heavy rain?"

"No, no, it will be too late if we just do this and wait for the heavy rain to come. We must hurry up and fill up the moat outside Ji County, otherwise, once the heavy rain comes, we will be blocked by the water in the moat Already!"

Liu Ye pointed to the outskirts of Ji County on the map and said.

"Okay, let's pass on the order, everyone is going to prepare soil and sand, and fill the moat of Jixian County today, and then we will sit and wait for the heavy rain to come!"

Cao Cao said to his soldiers in high spirits, as if he could break through Ji County and capture Liu Wei alive.

Counting 10 people, each with a bag of soil, piled up to form a hill. In half a day, the moat of Ji County was filled, and Cao Cao ordered tens of thousands of people to go up and trample on the soil.

On the head of Jixian County, Liu Wei looked suspiciously at the coalition troops busy filling the moat below the city, and asked Xu Shu and Guo Jia: "What are these people doing? Since the beginning of summer, it hasn't rained a few times until now. The moat in Jixian County has already dried up, and they still come to fill in the moat?"

"Hmph, Cao Mengde has a good plan!"

Xu Shu sneered, looked at Liu Wei and said, "I watched the sky last night and found that there will be heavy rain in the next few days, and it will continue for three days and three nights. Cao Cao is trying to hit us with artillery. He thinks we The artillery will not be able to fire at that time, and he filled the moat in advance to prevent them from being unable to rush through due to the heavy rain!"

"I didn't expect that there are people who can observe the sky in this coalition army? Feng Xiao, do you think your senior brother came up with the plan?"

Liu Wei looked at Guo Jia.

"Impossible. The art of war and strategy that my senior and I learned were inherited from Guiguzi during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, but we have never studied astronomy and geography, so it cannot be senior!"

Guo Jia answered.

Xu Shu also followed up and said, "It's true that it's not a talented person. If I guessed correctly, the person who came up with this plan for Cao Cao should be Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang from Huainan Chengde!"

"Could it be that Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang who are said to be talented?"

Liu Wei hurriedly asked.

"That's right, it's this person. I met this person when I was young and studied. This person is not only good at strategy, but also good at craftsmanship. He often tinkers with some carpenter's things, and this person is good at astronomy!"

After hearing what Xu Shu finished speaking, Liu Wei also nodded, and said: "I have heard about this person. This person is the descendant of Liu Yan, the king of Fuling, and the clan of my great man. I don't want this person to be so talented. To act so lowly, to be willing to serve under Cao Mengde, a treacherous official, is really a decline in the world, people's hearts are not old, after a hundred years of Liu Ziyang, what face does he have to meet the ancestors of the Han Dynasty!"

Liu Wei couldn't help sighing.

"My lord, let's talk about how to deal with the rainy weather. Brother Yuan Zhi said that the heavy rain will last for three days and three nights. If the allied forces of the princes attack our Ji County day and night, I'm afraid we will not be able to bear it!"

Seeing that Liu Wei was pulling away a bit, Guo Jia hurriedly opened his mouth and pulled Liu Wei back.

"There is no need to worry about this. If you look carefully, the cannon has been modified. The shells and gunpowder are loaded on the side. As long as a small waterproof tent is built with cowhide at the tail of the cannon, the cannon can still be fired, but it is slow. Just click!"

Liu Wei pointed to the tail of the cannon and said to Guo Jia and Xu Shu.

It turned out that when Liu Wei was in the bloody battle with the aliens in Tao County, he suffered a big loss because the cannon could not be launched in rainy weather. So after Liu Wei returned to Xiangping, he ordered Ma Jun to find a way to install a waterproof device for the cannon. Ma Jun couldn't help it either. After much deliberation, the two of them came up with such a solution. Although it was a little troublesome, it could be used even in rainy days.

And these days, Ma Jun sent eleven flintlock guns to Liu Wei. Liu Wei picked out ten soldiers with good eyes, and handed them the flintlock guns for them to practice shooting.Liu Wei also kept a flintlock gun himself, and Liu Wei stuck a short flintlock gun in the horse pocket on Kuangfeng's back. As long as Liu Wei shoots, he is 100% sure that he will kill the opponent.

But the flintlock gun Liu Wei just let Ma Jun make a few, because the success rate of this thing is too low, almost one of the two hundred flintlock guns can be used, because with the level of craftsmanship at that time, It is really too difficult for them to make this thing, and one person makes one in ten days and a half months. Once the gun is tried, either the chamber explodes or the shot misses, and it is useless at all.So Liu Wei ordered to stop making flintlock guns. These ten items are enough, and Ma Jun can make some bullets and gunpowder for flintlock guns.
