188. Yuan Shaojun's turret formation
188, Yuan Shaojun's squat formation
The battle lasted for more than ten days. During these ten days, Yuan Shao's army kept using various methods to test into Gongsun Jun's camp. However, because Yan Liang and Wen Chou were unable to participate in the siege, the attack on the camp was always defeated by Sun Yu and Niu Meizi.
Zhang He attacked the walls of the village several times and fought against Sun Yu, but he always had no choice but to win. Once, Zhang He was attacked by Sun Yu and Niu Mei and was almost captured after a missed attack. So Yuan Shao's army did not dare to attack too much.
The offensive became weaker day by day! The two armies began to enter a stalemate stage.
After nightfall every day, Gongsun Jun took advantage of Yuan Shao's retreat and sent soldiers out of the camp to dig the trenches filled by Yuan Shao's army outside the camp, reinforcing the broken walls, collecting arrows, and replenishing the turret and bricks.
These materials are essential items in defensive wars, and fighting often involves comparing which side has more material and manpower, and which side can obtain the final victory in a lasting war.
The soft girl's main body is a lieutenant, and officials such as the chief and historian are also with the army this time, helping her sort out all the weapons, armor, and food chores. In fact, these things are only a matter of time if they are left to Sun Yu to do, but Sun Yu is exhausted during the day and needs a good rest, so he has to leave these things to the civil servants to handle.
Not long after falling asleep, a burly man with a strong and resolute face ran into Sun Yu's camp. It turned out to be Yan Yun, the captain of Baima Yicong. Since Sun Yu often acted with Baima Yicong, Yan Yun was almost going to become his adjutant.
Yan Yun shook Sun Yu's shoulder and said, "General Sun, Yuan Shaojun is making trouble!"
"Oh?" Sun Yu was slightly shocked and sat upright.
Yan Yun whispered: "My lord asked me to invite you to have a look!"
Putting on his armor and coming to the front of the village, I saw the soft girl standing on the wall of the village without untied armor. She pointed to Cao Ying in the distance and said, "Xunzhen, today Yuan Ying suddenly recruited many strong scalpers. Now, in the middle of the night, you can also hear the low cry of the cows in Yuan Ying. Please use the 'Sheng Eye' to see."
While quietly releasing nm01, he flew to Yuan Shao's military camp for reconnaissance, he said softly: "Ha, why are you doing so politely when you talk to me? Is there any trouble?" He reached out and hugged the soft girl's waist in front of hundreds of soldiers next to him, and continued: "I'm asleep in the middle of the night, and you are still wearing armor to patrol. Be careful to get tired of your body."
The soft girl's pretty face turned red, rubbed her arms, and said softly: "I just heard that you were sleeping, so that you should be more careful not to hurt you at night... But Yuan Shao caused a trick to make me wake you up, and I was so sorry."
A soft heart makes people love it.
After a while, nm01 returned and reported in Sun Yu's ear: "Yuan Shaojun is building towers in a hidden place behind the camp. It is estimated that nearly a hundred towers can be built in five days. These towers are built on huge chariots. The ox in the camp is used to pull these chariots."
"Loulu?" Sun Yu asked curiously: "What's the thing?"
nm01 immediately explained: "The tower is also called the tower, or the tower is a roofless platform used in ancient army to watch, attack and defend. It is usually built on the ground, on the chariot or ship. The tower is built higher than the enemy's wall. During the siege, hundreds of cows were used to pull the tower to the edge of the enemy's wall, and you can take a high position and shoot the enemy's camp with bows and arrows, and lose all the height advantage of the defense side."
He said in his heart, and said strangely: "Why have I vaguely heard of this thing?"
nm01 replied: "During the Battle of Guandu in our world, Yuan Jun used towers to deal with Cao Cao, but was later repelled by Liu Ye with a thunderbolt chariot."
After hearing this, I was overjoyed and thought to myself: History is such a good teacher. Since Liu Ye once killed Loulu with a thunderbolt cart, of course I can do it too.
He quickly called Yan Yun and smiled, "Do you still remember the kind of thunder car I made when I was in Xuzhou?"
"Of course I remember!"
"Okay, now you can summon the skilled craftsmen in the army and the two thousand brothers who participated in the Battle of Xuzhou to make thunder chariots overnight. Haha, we are going to play high-tech with Yuan Shao." Sun Yu reached out and grabbed the soft girl's hand and said, "Bogui, go back to the account and rest, leave it to me here!"
"But... you have been fighting for a few days and are very tired!" said the soft girl, "I want to accompany you."
"I have nothing to accompany you, so I have to go back and rest. Just leave the soldiers to do the work of making the Thunderbolt cart." Sun Yu was afraid that Yan Yun had remembered the method of making the counterweight trencher wrongly, so he re-drawn two sets of drawings for him, so he urged the soft girl to return to the account to rest. The soft girl was really obedient to Sun Yu. He said he could deal with it. The soft girl had no doubts and went back to the account to sleep obediently.
Five days later, Yuan Shao's army beat another drum. At the opening of the village gate, tens of thousands of strong scalpers ran out, and each cow had a thick rope wrapped around its back. These ropes were stretched straight, dragging nearly a hundred giants toward Gongsun Jun's camp.
The mud and dust rose all over the sky, and tens of thousands of yellow cows mooed and pushed forward. The tall zombies behind stood upright in the dust stirred by the cow's hooves, looking murderous and overwhelming.
"There are nearly a hundred towers, which are twice as tall as our village wall! Oh my God, Yuan Shao is so rich that he actually built nearly a hundred towers at a time." The soldiers in Gongsun's army were in a panic.
Several generals of the Gongsun family were also a little frightened. The towers mean that Gongsun Jun’s camp lost their defensive advantages. If Gongsun Jun lost the geographical advantage and fell three times behind Yuan’s army in number, he would fall into a very unfavorable situation.
What should I do? Guan Jing, the chief doctor, was so anxious that she jumped around the wall of the village, but she was just a civil servant and had no way of doing this kind of giant.
Wei You shouted: "Please ask Chen Gongtai Military Advisor to burn it, oh... Tian Feng is there, and he can't burn it, what should I do?"
Le Hedang, Li Yizi, and Liu Weitai, the timids, showed fear in their eyes and murmured: "It's over, I can't defend it anymore! Nearly a hundred turrets can cover every inch of our village wall with bows and arrows."
Zou Dan shouted loudly: "The protagonist, let the general lead the three thousand elite cavalry out of the village. I will even tear down the other party's turrets even if I try my best."
The general next to him immediately advised him desperately: "You can't go out. Once you leave the camp, Yan Liang and Wen Chou will have a place to use their skills. The general is no match for the 'Knight of the Cavalry'!"
"Lord, retreat! We can't hold on!" The generals shouted: "Let's withdraw back to Peiping and defend the city to the death. It's much better than guarding this village."
"Calm down!" The soft girl was standing by the village wall wearing silver armor and silver helmet. The white cloak roared behind her. She laughed and said, "Xunzhen has already had a solution, so the generals can watch with peace of mind."
With the order from the soft girl, a sound of cow hooves sounded behind Gongsun Jun's camp. Thousands of yellow oxen dragged fifty or sixty counterweight catapults to the back of the village wall.
Standing on top of one of the counterweight trenchers with a smile, he shouted: "Set the thunderbolt chariot!"
Thousands of soldiers immediately ran over, pulled the scalper away, then unfolded the stents of the counterweight trench and fixed them firmly to the ground. Then dozens of large trucks arrived, carrying huge stones. The soldiers pulled the noose and put the huge stones into the counterweight trench arms.
The generals who had never participated in the Battle of Xuzhou did not know what this thing was. They all looked at Sun Yu busy there with a stunned look. Several people couldn't help but come over and asked, "General Sun, what are you doing?"
Gongsun Yue and Wei You, who participated in the Battle of Xuzhou, said to other generals: "What do you know? Look quietly!"
At this time, Yuan Jun's tower was dragged by the yellow cow and approached Gongsun Jun's camp. Soon after, it had entered an arrow. Gongsun Jun began to fire arrows, but the yellow cow's skin was thick and the flesh was thick, and ordinary arrows could not shoot down these huge objects. Yuan Jun used arrow rain from the top of the high tower, which made Gongsun Jun's guards' archers miserable.
The soft girl shouted: "Giant shield soldiers come forward and resist the rain of arrows." A large group of soldiers pushed the huge iron shields of two people up, blocking the archers guarding the village under the giant shield.
Yuan Shao, who was outside the village, was overjoyed and smiled and said, "Hide like a turtle, how can you defend the village? Loulu desperately shot the enemy camp. Zhang He took the opportunity to lead him into the village."
With Yuan Shao's order, the serious girl Zhang He led tens of thousands of soldiers to rush up, ladders, chariots, and various siege weapons came one after another. Because the top of Gongsun Jun's village wall was suppressed by towers, Zhang He's troops easily passed through the vast battlefield and leaned towards Gongsun Jun's camp.
After a while, nearly a hundred towers of Yuan Shaojun's army were all in their place, leaning against the outer wall of Gongsun Jun's camp, facing the rain of arrows pouring towards Gongsun Jun's camp. Under the foot of the tower were countless Yuan soldiers rushing forward and rushing towards Gongsun Yu's village.
Seeing the tower silence stopped moving, a sneer flashed across the corner of Sun Yu's mouth. He quickly ran to a catapult and asked nm01 to adjust the launch angle as quickly as possible. In order to play a surprising and unpredictable role, Sun Yu did not immediately let the catapult launch, but ran to the next catapult and adjusted the launch angle.
After a while, more than fifty catapults were all adjusted. The generals of Gongsun Jun did not know what Sun Yu was doing. Only Gongsun Yue, Wei You, Gaohao Girl and others who had participated in the Battle of Xuzhou knew that Yuan Shao was going to be in trouble.
After adjusting the catapult, Sun Yu walked up to the wall of the village with a loud laugh. While using an iron spear to open the arrow that was shooting, he laughed at the outside of the village and said, "Lulu... look at me waving my hand to break it!"
A blue light flashed on his body, and two big words "Pi Li" popped out from his head, and he shouted: "Start!"
More than fifty counterweight trenchers pulled off the machine bracket together, more than fifty trenchers shook off the giant arms together, and more than fifty huge rocks flew out of Gongsun Jun's camp, and accurately smashed at Yuan Shaojun's turrets with a terrifying whistling sound all over the sky!
