Chapter 150 The Power of Throwing a Stone (Part 1)

A large number of catapults were loaded on board and shipped to Jingzhou and Jiangdong. At the same time, the Wu army, which was originally stationed on the Wushu border, also marched towards Xiangyang. The two countries made open and honest statements, so naturally there was no need to continue to leave heavy troops in this sensitive area.

Whether it was Shi Ji from Xiangyang or the suggestion of Wu Master Sun Liang, he was amazed at the power of the special catapult car. Fortunately, he did not make a rash grudge with the Shu people, otherwise it would be the Wu Kingdom's turn to use and possess such powerful equipment? When he thought that the craftsmen had already entered Sichuan in batches to learn this technology, Wu Master Sun Liang felt that his spirit was getting more intense.

The Emperor of Wu improved his spirit, and the same was true for civil and military officials. It was rumored that the Shu people used this thing to smash the Chang'an City, and the lost troops were less than 20% of the casualties of the Wu country's siege to Shouchun. What's the difficulty of having such magical weapons to divide the Central Plains equally with the Shu people?

The Wu army in Xiangyang first attacked, Shi Ji and Liuping led their fleets to cross the river northward. A beacon tower of the Wei army found traces of Wu ***'s invasion on the bank of the river, so they quickly ignited the beacon fire. The beacon tower was set up every ten or fifteen miles, and fireworks warnings were fired one after another, and the news soon reached the nearby Wei army camp.

Before Zhong Hui left, he handed over the command power to Chen Qian. Chen Qian's brother Chen Ben instigated Sima Jun to go out of the city to fight against the Shu army a few months ago, resulting in the loss of Chang'an, which was eventually dealt with by military law. However, the Sima family still had a high trust in Chen Qian. After Zhong Hui left, he handed over all the defense lines near Nanyang and Wancheng to Chen Qian.

Chen Qian just received the news here that the Wei army arranged along the river had already launched their own operations according to the arrangement. There were more than 20,000 infantry soldiers in each city and battalion, and 10,000 cavalry gathered on the shore and ambushed from afar. After the Wu people got ashore, they began to charge and drove the Wu people back to the water.

The Wei State was not without naval troops, but the quantity and quality of the naval troops were difficult to compete with the Jiangdong naval troops. Therefore, Zhong Hui's arrangement was mainly to prevent the Wu army from landing. Without a foothold, even if the Wu people had a narrow boat, they could only show their might on the water.

The vast warships were covered with rivers, and the size of the warships in Jiangdong was much larger than that of the Wei Navy. The large ships seemed like movable hills, and were densely packed with Wu soldiers and generals. There were still far away from the shore and the sound of drums came over. The Wei soldiers did not care about this. The Wu army has been so thunderous and rainy in the past six months. I don’t know what tricks to do this.

The warship gradually approached, countless small boats were put down, and the generals of Wu State drove the way forward in small boats. The infantry of Wei State arranged a formation on the shore, and the crossbowmen waited for the orders of the main general, and countless rockets would shoot towards the Wu army. The warship was very large, so the Wu people naturally couldn't extinguish the fire. Rockets were extremely small for the warship, but as long as one was burning, it was a threat.

"Preparation!" Seeing that the Wu boat was extremely fast, General Wei ordered the crossbowman to prepare for shooting arrows.

"ah……!"

Screams came one after another, and hundreds of huge rocks were projected from the Wu warships and smashed into the Wei army array on the shore.

This sudden devastating blow suddenly defeated the Wei army's deployment. The stones were continuously shot and fell down densely, leaving nowhere to hide. Some Wei soldiers had already run far away, but were still hit by the stones; some Wei soldiers were shocked, and their comrades around them fell one by one, but they were unscathed...

The huge rocks smashed into the water, stimulating the splashes of water that were tall and blocking everyone's sight. More than 10,000 crossbowmen collapsed almost instantly. Such a long distance and power exceeded people's imagination, and only shock and awe were brought. The Wei army on the shore was quickly defeated, and the warships of the Wu Kingdom began to dock.

Shi Ji, Liu Ping and other Wu generals were in a good mood. This catapult cart was indeed extremely powerful. It made the Wei army so embarrassed and worthy of its reputation!

The ship gradually landed, but the Wu people were not in a hurry to land. The Wei army was staring at the Wu army from a distance. As long as the Wu army began to land, the infantry and cavalry would come immediately. This is the military tactic that evolved from the half-ferry strike. Since the catapult cart was on the ship, it would always be safe for me to attack you after landing. General Wei thought about this and planned to do so. Only the Wei army crossbowmen who survived luck were still scared and shrank and did not dare to move forward.

The Wei army was waiting in the distance, and the Wu people were watching it. As they looked at Shi Ji and the Wu generals laughed. Some people couldn't help but laughed loudly. Although the distance was far, it was still within the throwing range of the catapult cart. The Wei soldiers thought they were safe and waited for the Wu people to move. When the Wei army was waiting to bully the Wu people off the ship, they were weak in defense. They took advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of their own life and death. They had no idea that their life and death were already in the hands of the Wu people.

The big ship got closer and began to throw stones again. The Wei army was suddenly defeated by the army's morale and was smashed into pieces by stones falling from the sky. In fact, tens of thousands of Wei soldiers were only thousands of people within the range of the stones, but hundreds of stones flew over in such a terrifying situation, no one had the heart to analyze whether they were within the range of the other party's attack.

Tens of thousands of people scattered so simply, and the Wu army finally felt anger that had been stuffy for a long time!

...

The Shu army of Jiang Wei and Zhao Tong were besieged by the Wei army respectively. The situation was urgent, and Jiang Wei's camp had been broken by the Wei army, which made it even worse.

As the Wei army was about to win a great victory, the situation suddenly changed.

From somewhere, countless cavalry suddenly broke out and rushed into the battle group. The Wei army besieged Zhao Tong was secretly attacked and had no time to adjust its formation. The army broke through the formation. These cavalry were dressed in various costumes, some of which were just naked, with either spears or maces in their hands, and they were obviously not from Central Plains.

With the support of this team, Zhao Tong yelled and led the remaining Shu soldiers to launch a Jedi counterattack. The Wei army was dispersed by the reinforcements of Shu Han, and neither infantry nor cavalry could organize effective resistance. Waving the weapons was the same as the Shu soldiers fighting desperately, his head was cut down by the alien race who had come to kill at some time.

The sudden reinforcements completely disrupted the arrangements of the Wei army. Zhong Hui was shocked but could not send reinforcements. So when the Wei soldiers outside the camp were attacked by surprise, countless alien cavalry rushed out from all directions, and infantry rushed to the Wei camp. The troops of the Wei camp were allocated to besiege Zhao Tong and Jiang Wei. The troops guarding the camp were pitifully small, but in just a moment, seven or eight places were already broken!

"This is a foreigner in Liangzhou! How could this be so?" Zhong Hui saw where the other party came from and found it incredible!

The Shu people had only been months old to capture Liangzhou. Why did these alien races living in Liangzhou work so hard for the Shu people? Even under the long-term rule of the Wei Kingdom, these alien races would have at most several thousand people used as combat power for the Wei army...

Now is not the time to discuss the reason. Seeing that the number of these dark alien troops is not much smaller than that of the entire Wei army, Zhong Hui's central army was also attacked by alien troops. Fortunately, the central army has a strong force and will not be captured by alien troops for the time being.

However, the nearby Yingpan could no longer withstand the offensive of the alien race. Many Yingpans were penetrated by the cavalry and spearmen of the alien race, and the Wei army fled in scattered and injured.

"Sentences to order all troops to retreat!" Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Zhong Huixin ordered the withdrawal of troops unwillingly.

At this time, Jiang Wei only had 5,000 people left in his hands, and he was about to be unable to hold on. If the greedy Wei generals would inevitably lead their troops to fight to the death, trying to entangle the alien race to fight for the time to kill Jiang Wei. But even if Jiang Wei was killed, he was surrounded by the alien race. The number of Wei troops was not at a disadvantage, but they were divided into various places.

Zhong Hui was a talented man. After seeing the situation clearly, he did not drag on the slightest bit of trouble and immediately ordered the troops to retreat.

After receiving the order, the Wei army, who was responsible for siege and killing Jiang Wei, immediately abandoned the Shu army and turned to protect Zhong Hui to break through. All the alien army was brave and fierce, and unfortunately lacked organization and discipline. It seemed that it was dark and was arranged in an array by the Wei army, and it was easy to kill a bloody road.

After a fierce battle between the two sides, only scattered Wei soldiers who had no time to join the main Wei army, as well as thousands of Wei soldiers who were bitten by Zhao Tong and Jiang Wei army. With the addition of the alien spear soldiers, these Wei soldiers soon died and surrendered.

Zhong Hui's Wei army thought that this would be possible to escape, but he knew that the temper of this alien race was really hard to guess. He divided the infantry to assist the Shu army, and the remaining 20,000 cavalry began to chase the Wei soldiers with the same target. The Wei army's cavalry ran faster, but it was a pity for the infantry. It was an eternal truth that two legs could not run with four legs. The alien races were cruel, and even if they killed people, they would not kill them honestly.

Some people grabbed the Wei Bing's hair, and some people stripped the Wei Bing naked when they saw the injury. These behaviors were outrageous, and they were despised even in the formation of the two armies. However, these infantry could not escape the encirclement of the alien cavalry, and could only let the mermaid meat, and were ruthlessly humiliated and killed.

Thrilling shouts and ***ers drifted around at night. The bleeding Wei Bing lay on the ground without clothes, which soon caused him to lose his consciousness due to excessive blood loss and gradually died.

Seeing the cruel methods of the alien race, many Shu Han generals felt cold. If this habit came to the city, it would be quite difficult to control it.

This was also a helpless move for Jiang Wei. The power that Yong Liang could call was in his own hands. If he wanted to defeat Zhong Hui, he could only cooperate with these alien races. It was said that cooperation was actually a transaction. In order to win over these alien races, Shu Han paid a lot of money. Of course, there were also the contribution of pro-Shu alien leaders from it, but in essence it was still cooperation in interests.

In addition to the large amount of money paid to the alien race, the materials seized in this battle must also be given to the alien race. This is the agreement between Jiang Wei and the alien race in Liangzhou.

Among the foreign races, there are people who are willing to be profit-loving and seek profit, but they still have vision and commanders to control the overall situation. There are profit-oriented reasons for the promise to send troops this time, and there are other reasons. After all, Liangzhou was ruled by Shu Han, and Shu Han’s policies towards foreign races were better than during the Cao Wei period. The most important thing is that after learning about the foreign races in Sichuan, he learned about the deeds of Shu Han in the southern countries.

For the land of China, the Three Kingdoms are competing for the victory, but for these alien races, Shu Han is undoubtedly a powerful country that has opened up borders and territory. If the channels in the south are so old that they can be opened, then the West has a broader space for development.

Walking out of this world is a great expectation of the alien race. The Han people compete for the Han people's world, and the alien race also has their own ambitions. All this depends on the battlefield on the Western Front, that is, the victory or defeat of Shu Han and Cao Wei. For the Shu Han regime, only when the situation is stable will the troops be divided into the west corridor. If the foreign race wants to make some changes, they can only devote themselves to the Han people's world.

Jiang Wei also had his own plans. Although Shu Han and the foreign race were used, and the foreign race was rebellious and cruel by nature, they had value for their use. The Yongliang area was facing the Chang'an battlefield in front of the Yongliang area, so they could not think of peace for a moment. If you want to copy the routines from Nanzhong to Yongliang, it would not be appropriate. There was no stable environment and calm time for the Shu people to arrange it.

It happened that the Shu Han’s combat power was also very lacking. He used the troops of foreign races to make up for the lack of combat power, firmly controlled it in his own hands, and at the same time weakened the unstable factors behind him. He killed two birds with one stone, but he only paid for some money.

It is indeed not a perfect strategy, but it is an effective method.
