After repelling several previous attacks by Liu Ke, Cao Hong was still more cautious.
Because he still doesn¡¯t know whether the opponent is feinting like the last few times this time.
¡°And I thought about Cao Cao¡¯s headache, which had been recurring recently, and the pain was unbearable.
As Cao Cao¡¯s confidant, Cao Hong couldn¡¯t disturb him before things were clear.
So as not to aggravate Cao Cao's troubles.
Cao Hong is the commander-in-chief, so naturally he would not dare to disobey his words.
So he stood at the top of the city, pointed at the enemy troops below, and introduced them to Cao Hong.
¡°General, the general has sent someone to check just now.
The thing pushed forward by three or five people looked like a crossbow, but the model was several times larger than an ordinary crossbow.
Those following behind should be the arrows to be fired, they are as tall as a person! "
Cao Hong moved his fingers along the road and saw clearly the utensils walking in front.
I couldn¡¯t help but exclaimed in surprise: ¡°This crossbow arrow is so big, but I don¡¯t know how powerful it is?
But since the enemy attaches so much importance to it, it must be very powerful.
Pass the order, and when the battle begins, let our Thunderbolt Vehicles carry out focused attacks on these things.
No matter how powerful it is, can it still withstand the impact of dozens of kilograms of boulders? "
"General, it's obvious!" Lu Zhao immediately agreed.
Cao Hong¡¯s thoughts coincided with his.
This time, in order to guard the key points here, the army also made a surprise attack and built a large number of Thunderbolt vehicles.
??The Thunderbolt Chariot is actually a kind of catapult. Because when it is launched, it makes a sound like thunder, so it is called the Thunderbolt Chariot.
This kind of catapult was invented and improved by Cao Cao based on the original catapult.
When launching, a dozen strong men pull the rope at the same time, and a stone weighing twenty kilograms can be launched three hundred steps away.
It was with the power of the Thunderbolt Chariot that Cao Cao was able to quickly occupy a large territory.
Even in this battle, the Thunderbolt Car was indeed very effective and could continuously repel the opponent's attacks. It should take most of the credit.
When dozens of thundercarts attack at the same time, huge boulders will rain down on the enemy.
Cao Hong believed that the other party would never be able to withstand such a blow.
On the other hand, the siege team was limited by the mountain road that was only more than ten feet wide, making it difficult for large siege machinery to deploy and unable to mount an effective counterattack.
Therefore, in the previous sieges, Liu Ke's army could only be passively beaten.
After paying a lot of losses, I had no choice but to return it.
However, what Cao Hong didn't know was that today's situation was about to undergo a dramatic reversal.
After Cao Hong made the arrangements, the ordering soldiers immediately ran down to get the Pili Chariot ready.
As long as the opponent reaches within attack distance, he will immediately order the dozens of thunderbolt vehicles behind the barrier to launch at the same time.
However, what surprised Cao Hong was that the opponent's army stopped five hundred steps away from the pass.
This distance is beyond the attack range of our own Thunderbolt Vehicle.
"What does this mean?"
Cao Hong asked in confusion, but Lu Zhao was equally puzzled.
But he had a bad suspicion in his mind, but he didn't say it immediately.
Seeing that he was about to speak but hesitated, Cao Hong said, "General Lu, it's okay. Feel free to speak freely about whatever comes to your mind!"
"General, I have heard before that Liu Ke has a secret weapon called the Divine Arm Crossbow.
It is as big as a wooden bed. The arrow is seven feet long and can be fired five hundred paces. It can be destroyed in front of you. Its power is unpredictable!
? Could it be this thing in front of you? "
Cao Hong was shocked when he heard this: "Is there really such a thing? It can actually shoot five hundred steps?"
Such weapons have exceeded Cao Hong's cognitive level during his years in the army, so he was very shocked.
"But I have only heard about Lu Zhao, so naturally I am not sure.
"I could only say vaguely: "I only heard about it, and I was afraid that it might be exaggerated, so I didn't believe it fully.
But I think I can see it later! "
Cao Hong nodded noncommittally.
Although what Lu Zhao said about the divine arm crossbow was so exaggerated.
But Cao Hong didn¡¯t worry too much.
After all, this is not a field battle at this moment, we are defending the fortified city.
No matter how powerful the crossbow is, how can it damage the city?wall?
Cao Hong even planned to order people to seize the opportunity to take back a few cars after the start, so as to imitate them.
At this moment, several huge ships were slowly approaching on the Jingshui River.
Originally it was only a long and narrow speedboat like a stern battleship. Although it was flexible in water warfare, it did not play a big role in land warfare.
But the ships that came next were completely different.
The ship is tall and wide, looks like a building, and is huge in size. It is the largest warship in ancient times.
These large ships came side by side and filled the entire wide Jingshui River.
When Cao Hong saw this, he was shocked.
Because he has no navy at hand, there is no ship to compete with him.
Fortunately, Cao Hong realized this before and set up iron cones and iron cables on the Jingshui River in advance, spanning both sides of the river.
Even if it is a building boat, it is absolutely impossible to pass through it safely.
Cao Hong turned his head and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Tiesuo Lianjiang.
However, when the building boat traveled four hundred steps away from Cao Ren's pass, it unexpectedly anchored in the middle of the river.
Then I saw a group of soldiers on the deck of the building pushing several tall wooden frames to the front and starting to work with their heads down.
Cao Hong observed with wide eyes, but he couldn't recognize what it was at all, so he had to keep paying attention at all times with a suspicious look on his face.
In fact, this is the huge stone return cannon used by Dian Wei to break the city this time.
Because the target of the boulder return gun is too large, it is difficult to deploy on the mountain road.
So we had to place it on the huge building ship and use it as a base to launch the attack.
Liu Ke came up with this combination.
Liu Ke had heard Dian Wei complain before, saying that if the mountain road hadn't been narrow and rugged, he would have broken through the entrance of the pavilion and captured Cao Hong alive.
Liu Ke said with a smile: "You are stupid! Who said that the artillery must be placed on the mountain road this time?
"Won't you put him on the boat?" "
After some prodding from Liu Ke, Dian Wei finally got the idea.
That¡¯s why we have today¡¯s combination of building ships and boulder returning cannons.
When the building ship reached the predetermined distance, the gunners began to load stones quickly.
In a short time, all six huge stone cannons were loaded and ready to go.
At the same time, the dozens of divine arm crossbows parked on the mountain road were all ready, waiting for Dian Wei's order.
Dian Wei led five hundred tiger warriors and walked towards him with an air of dignity, and stopped right in front of the bed crossbow.
In addition to commanding the attack here, he is also responsible for guarding Cao's army when they leave the city to attack and destroy the crossbows.
Five hundred tiger warriors may not seem like much, but on a narrow mountain road, there is an imposing manner that one man can stop ten thousand people from opening.
"Report to the general, our army is ready, please give the order!"
After saying that, he handed a horn into Dian Wei's hand. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
