The reason why the Jingzhou Army set up a formation outside the county town was to be able to transport long-range weapons and equipment to the front line.

If the weapons were transported to the front line first, judging from Jushou's perspective, it is very likely that his soldiers would rush out from the county town and attack the Pili chariot.

However, Liu Qi first lined up his troops in front of the county seat, forming a formation, and then slowly moved the thunder chariots to the front. At this time, if Jushou dared to send troops, he would switch from defense to offense. At that time, Liu Qi would not mind fighting

Jushou had a head-on duel on the battlefield.

But he knew very well that Ju Shou did not dare.

The Thunderbolt Chariot is a powerful weapon produced by workshops in various counties of the Jingzhou Army over the years, based on Liu Ye's design, continuous improvement, and continuous production, research, improvement and manufacturing.

According to Liu Qi's thinking, this batch of Thunderbolt Chariots must have greater power and a longer range than the batch Liu Ye offered to Cao Cao in history.

Because the best craftsmen in the Han Dynasty were all in Nanyang County, and Liu Qi also paid special attention to the development of science and technology and worked hard in this area, Jingzhou's science and technology has always been in a leading position among the states.

Today, the batch of Thunderbolt vehicles transported from the rear to the front line can be regarded as the most advanced batch in the Han Dynasty.

"General, look! What is that?"

Following the exclamations of the soldiers, Jushu, who climbed up and looked into the distance, saw the rear formation of the Jingzhou Army, slowly transporting behemoths one by one from the rear towards the front.

Looking at those behemoths, Jushou's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

"Is it a trebuchet?" Jushou said in disbelief.

Next to Jushou, a Yuan Military Colonel said coldly: "Haha, these Nangou are really naive. At such a distance, they actually want to use a trebuchet to deal with us? It's a joke!"

When he said this, he turned to look at Jushu and said: "General, I have never heard of a trebuchet that can throw stones from such a long distance in the world! The Jinggu wants to use this thing to hit us, isn't it?

dream?"

Jushou had a cold face and did not reply.

To be honest, it is impossible to use a trebuchet to cover such a long distance.

But the question is, if the trebuchet cannot throw such a long distance, why did Liu Qi go to such trouble to get the trebuchet to the front line.

Jushu deliberately wanted to withdraw his troops and horses deeper into the county town, but if he gave this order now, it is very likely that Liu Qi's troops and horses would rush straight towards the county town, which would easily lead to their loss of strength.

Maybe this is what Liu Qi had in mind.

Soon, I saw those Pili chariots being transported to the front line of the Jingzhou Army, and then lined up neatly in a row, while the rear carriages pulled carts of dark things to the front of the line.

Zhang Yun cupped his hands towards Liu Qi and said: "Your Majesty, please give me an order."

Liu Qi stood up, squinted his eyes and looked at the county seat in the distance, then raised his hand and shouted: "Throw it!"

Those carriages were loaded with fireballs made of sulfur.

The Jingzhou Army lit the fuse on the fireball, and then began to pull the Thunderbolt Car.

Immediately afterwards, the sky that was still blue just now was suddenly filled with dazzling fireballs. Those fireballs were like volcanic bombs, drawing beautiful parabolas and falling heavily in the county town!

"Hide quickly!"

"Hide!"

"Those trebuchets really threw the stones!"

"Ahhh! Help, help!"

Countless fireballs landed heavily on the front line of Chengyang County, burning the tall shooting towers, and instantly formed a fire array in front of Chengyang County.

The fire burned in front of Chengyang County, and Yuan Jun's cries and panicked fleeing resounded throughout the world.

Following waves of fireball attacks, huge rocks fell from the sky.

The weight of those stones is not light, and they are thrown high into the air. With the addition of gravity acceleration, they are powerful enough to break stones and break gold.

The soldiers of the Yuan Army who were hit by stones had no chance of survival... because as long as they were hit, no matter which part they were hit by, the bones there would be smashed to pieces.

According to the medical level of this era, such a serious injury is basically equal to death.

The rocks that covered the sky and the earth were like a bolt from the blue. You didn’t even need to see the rocks falling, but hearing the terrifying sound was enough to make you shudder.

Many Yuan Jun soldiers were so frightened that they lay on the ground and did not even dare to move.

The fireballs and gravel that filled the sky were just like a volcanic eruption. Under such circumstances, Yuan Jun's soldiers had no power to resist.

Many soldiers were so frightened that they crawled on the ground, holding their heads and not even daring to stand up.

Under the protection of his men, Jushou hurriedly withdrew from the high platform. As soon as he reached the ground, Jushou looked up and saw that the high platform he was standing on had been shattered by flying rocks, like a broken wall.

If he was still up there, his life would definitely be in danger.

Jushou threw away the ashes on his sleeves and sighed: "Liu Boyu...can really give me problems!"

The captain who had been so complacent just now, thinking that the Thunderbolt Car could not be thrown here, said in horror: "General, what should we do now?"

Jushou made a decisive decision: "Abandon the outer perimeter and follow me to retreat to the county seat!"

"Abandon the periphery?!" The captain was shocked when he heard this: "Then the fortifications we built on the periphery of the county were all in vain?"

“Fortifications are more important, or human life is more important?” Jushou glanced sideways at the captain, and then said: “If you want to stay here to die, I won’t stop you!”

When the captain heard this, he shrank his neck and did not dare to say anything.

Jushu said again: "Tell the officers and soldiers of the three armies to pick up their weapons and go into the county town to find shelter in houses. After the flying rocks stop, fight the enemy in street battles!"

"promise!"

…

The Jingzhou Army was really proud and proud at this moment.

They did not send out a single soldier, but used thunderbolt chariots. At this moment, they were pressing down on the opponent. The overwhelming fireballs and flying rocks hit the opposite county, completely destroying the opponent's defenses outside Chengyang County.

At this time, the perimeter of the county town has been completely opened. As long as Liu Qi gives an order, the Jingzhou Army's army can rush into the county town, stamp on their horses and eradicate all the Yuan troops led by Ju Shou.

Ma Xiu rode his horse to Liu Qi's chariot and said to him: "Your Majesty, I am willing to serve as a vanguard and lead my troops into the county first to capture Jushu alive for your Majesty!"

Liu Qi raised his hand and pointed at Cheng Yang from a distance: "Jushou has tens of thousands of soldiers in his hands. Although the hail of artillery fire from the Thunderbolt Chariot just now scattered his fortifications in front of the formation, it did not cause a major blow to his soldiers... Of course...

Affected by the Thunderbolt Vehicle, the enemy's morale is currently low, but this is not the best opportunity to rush in."

Matthew asked in confusion: "What do you mean by Junhou?"

"Let the soldiers support the Pili Chariot and continue to advance, and place the Pili Chariot at a place where it can throw stones into his county."

Not only Ma Xiu, but also the generals surrounding Liu Qi understood.

Liu Qi didn't want to start a street battle with Jushu at all. He just planned to block the opponent's house with a thunderbolt car and keep blasting him.

Huang Zhong said to Liu Qi: "There is nothing wrong with the monarch using flying stones to bombard him, but he may injure the people."

Liu Qi turned to look at Zhang Yun.

But Zhang Yun smiled and said: "Don't worry, Han Sheng. After Jushou came to Chengyang, in order to completely turn Chengyang into a garrison place for Yuan Jun, he had expelled all the people in the county and requisitioned all the residences. At this moment, there are no common people in the county, only

Yuan Jun’s soldiers!”

When Huang Zhong heard this, he suddenly realized.

Liu Qi smiled faintly and said: "That's it! Boom, give me a hard blow. The three armies are blocking his door. If he dares to come out, shoot him directly with a repeating crossbow. If he doesn't come out, give me a hard blow."
