Chapter 253 Thunderbolt(1/2)
"Report~ The lord, the black mountain bandits in the State of Zhao, Maocheng, and Shiyi harassed and robbed the food road behind our army."
When the news of the Black Mountain bandits being dispatched came back, Yuan Shao slapped the table angrily and shouted: "The thief who is ignorant, the thief!"
If it weren't for the fact that these bandits were hiding in the mountains and were too time-consuming and laborious, he really wanted to eliminate these black mountain bandits now.
"The lord will calm down for the time being. The Black Mountain bandits have taken refuge in Lu Bu in such an obvious way."
"Yes, lord, the Black Mountain bandits are not worth worrying about. The current Lu Bu army is the top priority."
After taking a few deep breaths and calming down his excitement, Yuan Shao said in a deep voice with a gloomy face: "I'll order the soldiers from all over the country to defend well. After I break the Lu Bu army, I will go to settle the score with the bandits in the Black Mountain."
"The lord is wise."
Listening to everyone's compliments, Yuan Shao directly changed his attention and looked at the location of his army on the map and asked: "How is the nearest front line?"
"Lord, our army has been pressed down and has attacked tentatively several times. Lu Bu's Beiliang army still cannot defend it."
After hearing the same reply, Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel a bad premonition in his heart, and frowned and said in a deep voice: "Will Lu Bu's army have any movement in the near future?"
After everyone below looked at each other, Ju Su slowly bowed his hands to report: "Lord, recently the scouts have discovered that the Beiliang army is constantly cutting down trees, and it seems! It seems to be making siege equipment."
After hearing this news, Yuan Shao suddenly exclaimed and looked at everyone suspiciously, "Is it possible that Lu Bu is preparing to attack our army's camp? He actually built siege equipment in the rear army."
Report~Report~
Just as everyone was puzzled, suddenly there were a burst of cry outside the tent. A messenger rushed into the tent panting and clasped his fists and said anxiously: "Report to the lord, Zhang He, the two generals of the former army, Gao Lan, were attacked by the Northern Liang army and rescued!"
What!
Yuan Shao exclaimed, then strode to the commander and scolded angrily: "Zhang He, the 50,000 troops in Gaolan Camp? Are you asking for help? How many enemy troops are there?"
The scout hurriedly replied: "Lord, more than 50,000 enemy troops!"
After hearing this reply, Yuan Shao suddenly burst into anger and laughed. He looked around the tent with a funny smile and laughed: "Haha~ Have you heard it?"
"Lu Bu's 50,000 troops attacked our Hebei general. We still need rescue when we resisted the camp and defended?"
Yuan Shao shouted with anger and smiled. The messenger panted and wiped the sweat from his forehead and shouted hurriedly: "Lord, our soldiers are already suppressed and dare not show up. All the soldiers are hiding in the shield. In the deep trench, the camp is in danger."
"Zhang He, Gao Lan, two generals, asked for help quickly."
What!
If Yuan Shao had just angrily scolded Zhang He, General Gao Lan was afraid of Lu Bu and dared not fight, but after hearing the situation was so dangerous, he immediately exclaimed.
"I'm sending orders to dispatch 30,000 troops to help Zhang He, Gao Lan, and I'm going to see how fierce Lu Bu's Northern Liang army is, and he was forced by the same force to rescue me."
Rumble ~
I saw Yuan Jun’s pioneer camp in Baimapo area, rocks flying all over the sky, and the camp was filled with thunderous areas.
Even the huge rocks as big as fists hit the camp and made crackling sounds, and from time to time, they flew over with huge rocks as big as millstones.
Boom~Crack~
With the rumbling of the huge rocks, the solid wooden camp was pale and weak and directly smashed into a big hole. As the wood chips splashed, the Yuan army soldiers exclaimed in surprise.
"Stay! Stay! Don't be messed up! Don't be messed up."
I saw that Yuan Jun soldiers in front of the camp hid behind the shield, either pushing wooden carts as cover, and more people hid under the cover, and there were also digging in the trenches.
Zhang He, who had always been calm, was two generals from Hebei. At this time, the two of them kept shouting in the camp with panic on their faces, comforting the panicked army.
Outside the camp, the black Beiliang army did not launch an attack. They were in chaos after just pushing out strange and huge siege equipment.
Large giant rocks the size of millstones, watermelon stones are not small, and more are huge rocks the size of fists flying all over the sky.
A thriller~As the sky was flying, the Yuan army camp was in chaos.
In front of the army in Northern Liang.
"Haha~ General Zhang, look at Yuan Jun, don't even dare to show up."
Yan Yan stroked the long beard on her chin and pointed at Yuan Jun’s camp with a big smile.
After hearing this, Zhang Ren nodded even more and looked at the war weapon in front of the formation with admiration.
"The lord is really a god, and he actually found the stone throwing cart from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period."
"No! These should be improved."
Yan Yan laughed and shook his head and pointed at the stone throwing cart that could be placed the size of a millstone.
"My ancestor left a record that almost all the stone throwing cars that appeared in the Warring States Period looked like this." Yan Yan said this and pointed to a large number of relatively small weapons.
"That's the case, it can be called a stone throwing cart, and this behemoth!"
Now there are only two giants in the army. Yan Yan said in a deep voice: "I heard that the lord summoned a skilled craftsman and studied the stone throwing cart to create such a powerful weapon."
At this time, the two were even more moved. With every creaking sound, a huge rock as big as a millstone was thrown away, forming an arc into the reinforcements camp.
Every time I watch Zhang Ren and Yan Yan are thrilling. Even the most powerful generals in the world may not be able to resist the next one.
Rumble ~
As the catapults kept throwing, the machines creaked continuously.
The Yuan army camp was already covered with holes. When Yuan Shao led the 30,000 troops to arrive angrily, everyone was shocked.
Under the rain of stones, the blood-flowing corpses in the camp could no longer move. Many of the Yuan soldiers hiding in the pit or behind obstacles were bleeding and were panicked and guarding the sky.
"What is this?"
Yuan Shao and others stood on the high ground in the camp, and even saw the machines of Lu Bu's Northern Liang army showing their power in the distance.
Everyone was watching, and Xu You suddenly thought of something, and slapped his forehead and exclaimed: "Lord, this thing is a stone throwing machine from the Warring States Period."
"It's also called the Thunderbolt Car."
With Xu You's introduction, Yuan Shao also saw clearly the situation in the military camp. No wonder Zhang He, the second general Gao Lan asked for help.
But when he watched Lu Bu's Northern Liang army performing his crime, his soldiers could only hide in the camp. Yuan Shao was so angry that he pointed ahead angrily.
"Since Lu Bu's Northern Liang Army's thunder chariot is so fierce, he quickly dispatched elite troops to rush out of the camp and burned down the enemy's weapons."
promise!
"The 30,000 troops shook their flags and shouted, let Lu Bu's Northern Liang army know that reinforcements were coming."
promise!
Yuan Shao was not stupid either. In this situation, the best way was to fight out and the army rushed out. In this way, the catapults in Lu Bu's Beiliang army would be useless.
However, the elite cavalry on the left and right wings of the Northern Liang Army frowned, and even Yuan Shao fell silent.
Kill ~
Suddenly, a group of brave soldiers rushed out of Yuan Jun camp, each of them holding shields and waving a long sword in the other hand and rushing towards the front army frantically.
Yan Yan sneered after seeing this scene, waved his hand and shouted: "Shot the arrows!"
Swish~
Covered by the rain of arrows, Yan Yan waved his hand at the army again, and saw a group of soldiers holding shields lined up in front of the catapult cart to form a copper wall.
Zhang Ren even waved his hand in time and shouted: "I ordered two hundred cavalry on the left and right wings to cross and rush to the enemy."
promise!
The flag was swaying, and the cavalry, who had been waiting for a long time on the left and right wings, rushed out of two hundred cavalry, and crossed into Yuan's army under the rumbling smoke and dust.
Ah ~
Screams kept ringing, and under the charge of the cavalry, the infantry were only ravaged and massacred.
When Yuan Shao saw this scene, his face looked very ugly. Xu You hurriedly reported: "Lord, you can set up two lines of defense in the camp. Once the Northern Liang army launches such flying stones, the elite army retreats to the second line of defense."
"The first line of defense is digging more deep trenches to allow soldiers to hide in it, and at the same time, it can also prevent the cavalry of the Northern Liang Army from taking the opportunity to enter the camp."
Although it is a stupid method, I have to say that this is the best way to reduce casualties at the moment.
Yuan Shao sighed helplessly and waved his hand, "Send the order and warn all the soldiers of the army clearly that there is a catapult in Lu Bu's army."
promise!
"Let our soldiers also cut down trees and prepare to make such powerful tools."
After Yuan Shao's last gritted teeth, everyone behind him looked at each other, and Xu You bowed with a wry smile.
"Lord, there are very few records of this catapult. I went back to Yecheng overnight to check the books at home, and I must find out the collection of books that recorded the catapult."
The others also nodded secretly and shouted: "Don't worry, lord, I will write a letter to inform the people of the clan."
Yuan Shao sighed helplessly. The catapult carts from the Warring States Period were only recorded in a little bit, and almost everyone in the world had forgotten such a powerful weapon. Who would have thought that Lu Bu and the Northern Liang army would use it.
For three consecutive days, the Northern Liang army came early in the morning and stopped in the evening. Almost all the stones around were collected by the soldiers, leaving only the bare ground.
In the Yuan Jun camp, there were stones everywhere, the large ones were the size of millstones, and the small ones were the size of fists, and they were everywhere.
Beiliang Daying.
"You Fengxiao, do you think you can hook up Yuan Shao's elite?"
Regarding Lu Bu's doubts, Guo Jia smiled helplessly and clasped his fists and said, "Lord, there is no foolproof in the world."
