The Evolution of the Three Kingdoms Volume Chapter 122: Artillery Battle

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the front line, the situation has changed dramatically.

    The two sides faced each other for more than ten days, and various methods were used in endlessly, but none of them were of any use. Neither side could do anything about the other. The plain area near the river had restricted many methods, and there was no other way than a head-on confrontation.  Law.

    After being closed for more than ten days, Cao Jun's ouled shield walls finally began to be removed, turning into individual ouled shield fortifications, with a smooth marching road opening in the middle.  There were a lot of rush cars parked on the avenue.  Teams of heavily armored warriors were on standby nervously after rushing into the car.

    It can be seen from the gaps between various vehicles that a large number of trebuchets can be vaguely seen at the end of the oar and shield array.

    The trebuchets at this time, which were later called stone cannons, were technically still in their initial stages. They were all lever-type trebuchets without counterweights, relying entirely on manpower and the elasticity of the trebuchet material itself to provide power.  His main power is a long piece of wood, commonly known as the gun tip, which is made of tough and elastic high-quality wood. It is essentially a lever arm balanced on the gun column.  At one end is a large wooden spoon with a throwing object in the middle, tied with a leather rope.  On the other side, there are many ropes for people to pull. Many people pull these ropes and exert force suddenly, using the principle of leverage to break the rope at the other end and make the gun tip bounce up.  When released, it can throw rocks weighing dozens of kilograms hundreds of meters away, and the power is extremely amazing.

    Because it is entirely driven by manpower, such a trebuchet requires an extremely large number of people to operate, often dozens or hundreds of people, and the ballistic performance does not need to be considered. The accuracy is very poor. It is purely used to attack fortifications and attack fortifications.  , it is very effective against the simple buildings of this era. Of course, if it is used to attack dense military formations, the effect is also excellent.

    At this time, Cao Jun¡¯s trebuchets were wreaking havoc.

    Under the strong pull of thousands of civilians, stone bullets were fired from the rear of the formation.  Crossing a distance of six to seven hundred meters, he flew to the front of Li Zhejun's formation.  Dozens or hundreds of stone bullets have a very large scattering surface.  But even so, more than a dozen pieces still fell into the array.  Under the bombardment, the array of dragon spearmen was immediately filled with flying stones.

    A huge boulder fell from the sky and landed on the ground.  It often breaks into dozens or hundreds of flying stones. The soldiers near the impact point die without a word under the boulder, and more people are seriously injured. Often one of them falls into the formation.  A stone bomb can cause dozens of casualties.

    Li Zhejun¡¯s front line.  The dense formation of dragon spearmen and sword and shield soldiers suffered a devastating blow.  In just ten minutes, there were hundreds of casualties, and morale was severely damaged.

    "Retreat! Retreat!" the commander of the phalanx shouted the order, and the formation immediately began to retreat. Li Zhejun could not bear such severe casualties.  But how could such a retreat maintain order? It quickly turned into a rout. Some militiamen helped their companions and desperately fled back.  And more people are panicking and not choosing the right path.  Desperately trying to fight their way back to the camp, the soldiers in the formation were all frightened by the blow from the trebuchet.

    Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong were watching from behind the formation, issuing orders one after another, but they were still extremely shocked, even though they had expected Cao Cao's trebuchet attack.  An evacuation formation was adopted, but they did not expect that there would be such heavy casualties.  This trebuchet is such a sharp weapon!  No wonder, the lord must completely annihilate it first!

    "Back line. Hold on! Hold on!" the commanders shouted one by one!  Working hard to maintain the formation!  The dragon spearmen and sword and shield soldiers in the front line collapsed, and the crossbowmen in the back line were hit less hard and were still able to hold on. At this extremely dangerous moment, they came to suppress the entire formation!

    ¡­¡­

    At this time, directly opposite, on a high platform, Cao Cao, Guo Jiaxun, You Chengli and others were also watching the battle.

    "Okay! Gongda, your plan is indeed extremely powerful. When the Thunderbolt Chariots are used together, their power is greatly increased. Even the disadvantages of lack of accuracy before are not so obvious. More than a hundred Thunderbolt Chariots are used at the same time.  Use it, and the huge rocks flying all over the sky are the elite soldiers of Cao, who will be frightened at the sight of them, let alone these Tianshi Dao thieves?"

    "No, no, no! The Prime Minister was so impressed. This strategy was thought up by someone after looking at all the crossbow formations in Li Xiande's army. That crossbow formation, used like Li Xiande's, is really powerful, and does not require precision.  Only the range is needed. Several rows of crossbowmen have set the same range and strength, and they take turns to fire concentratedly, continuously, like rain. This is the most ferocious! Otherwise, the prime minister would not have to take such pains to use so many  It¡¯s a trick!¡±

    "What Gongda said really knows my heart. Li Zhe and Li Xiande are also geniuses. The round shooting method he invented, if used by elite soldiers, is really powerful. All the troops facing him will be defeated.  Its destruction, this powerful crossbow,Even heavy armor can be shot through, and no strong army can defeat it.  The prime minister resorted to this strategy out of necessity!  Li Xiande is a person who must not be underestimated!  "

    "Oh? No, no!" Guo Jia admired Li Zhe in every possible way when he was in Xudu, but now he was extremely relaxed. He waved his fan and smiled coolly, "Li Xiande is certainly not a trivial matter, but before we and others are planning  Next, he is about to be wiped out! The method of concentrated shooting that he worked so hard to create was borrowed by us and used on our Thunderbolt Car, which in turn made him miserable. The so-called repaying the favor with the other  That's okay! I think Li Xiande is about to be defeated in the front this time, and miserable in the rear. There are other soldiers of mine watching from the side. This time, Li Xiande has no way to escape. "

    "Exactly! It's exactly what Fengxiao said. It's exactly what I want! Hahahaha!" Cao Cao praised, and several monarchs and ministers stood on the railing to watch the battle, enjoying the wonders of the general's advisers and strategizing.

    "Looking at the trebuchet after a few rounds, it is almost useless. At this time, the mechanism of the trebuchet is not reasonable, and the reliability is very poor. After a few attacks, it will basically fall apart.  Cao Cao waved his hand, and the frontal attack that had been prepared for a long time began!

    A rumbling sound rang out from the formation, and dozens or hundreds of vehicles rushed out in formation.  Each of these chariots is two meters wide and high, and five or six meters long. The front and top are covered with cowhide, covering a large area, and are not afraid of fire or bows and arrows.  The wooden wheel under the car rumbled, but there were dozens of heavily armored sergeants pushing behind it. They were going to directly attack the formations and camps with such heavy equipment for attacking city gates!

    Li Zhejun was shocked, and the crossbow formation immediately began to fire arrows, but how heavy was this charge?  Attacks like crossbows and arrows are not enough to tickle him!  Everyone in Li Zhe's army could only watch helplessly as the car charging formation rushed forward slowly but firmly

    ¡­¡­

    At this time, Li Zhe had just arrived from the tent and walked to the front. He was also shocked when he saw this situation.  This Cao Mengde actually performed the Oogway style to the end. Not only did he defend it with a giant oar shield wall, but this large-scale car charging formation was unheard of!  It can be seen from this that Cao Cao is really wealthy now!

    You must know how many skilled craftsmen are needed to produce so many heavy weapons!  How much manpower and material resources are needed to move it!  In order to fight against the giant oar shield and charging car used by Li Zhejun, they are all expensive things!  This time, hundreds or even thousands of seats were built - this shocking scene in front of you, behind it is a shocking waste of national power when you think about it!

    But precisely because of this, Li Zhe was not surprised but delighted.  The more this is the case, the more it proves that the value of defeating Cao Cao is unimaginably huge!  This sacred place under Cao Cao's rule now belongs to me, Li Zhe!

    ¡­¡­

    Before the formation, the car-rushing formation was getting closer and closer to Li Zhejun's formation under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes from both sides.  But Li Zhejun's powerful crossbow only left countless arrow clusters on the charging car, each one piercing like a hedgehog!  But it had no effect at all. The sharp siege cone at the front of the charging car was no more than a few dozen meters away from the crossbow array

    At this extremely critical moment, suddenly!  There was something strange in the sky behind Li Zhejun's formation. It seemed as if a group of black dots were rising into the sky. It was blurry and unclear. Then these black dots crossed the sky and got closer and closer. Once they got closer, they could be seen.  Shockingly, they were all huge round boulders, falling to the ground with a roar!

    Boom!  boom!  boom!

    This group of boulders is different from the boulders thrown by Cao Jun's trebuchet just now. Not only are they larger than Cao Jun's, they are also rounder than Cao Jun's. Their flying trajectories in the sky are also relatively concentrated. At least half of them have completely reached Cao Jun's  formation.  A carefully polished round boulder weighing hundreds of kilograms fell from the sky and hit Cao Jun's charging formation!

    Even a behemoth that is several meters high like a rush car will immediately fall apart under the impact of such a boulder.  The whirling giant trees, the rocks flying at high speed, and the stone and sawdust flying everywhere, immediately tore the heavy-armored elite soldiers covering behind them and the surrounding charging vehicles into pieces!  The entire area around the rush car immediately became a no man's land.

    What's even more terrifying is that when the round boulder falls to the ground, it doesn't just stop and die, but it often bounces on the hard ground a few times, causing the huge boulder to roll all the way.  Go over there and run straight out a few hundred meters.  Even if they didn't hit anything, there were many boulders rushing straight behind Cao Jun's formation, creating a bloody alley along the way. All Cao Jun's oars, shields and personnel that blocked the road were immediately shattered!

    Hundreds of cobblestones, one attack, almost wiped out most of the rushers, and also destroyed a lot of Cao Jun's formation. The entire Cao Jun formation was a mess.??.  However, this was not over yet, but a few minutes later, everyone could still see the same round of black spots rising from Li Zhejun's rear army again!

    The faces of Cao Cao and others who were watching the battle from behind the formation immediately turned green!  (To be continued)
