My Three Kingdoms is a bit fierce

Cao Cao's first wave of attacks was over, and Zhang Fei originally thought that a second wave of more violent attacks would come soon, but unexpectedly, the entire Cao Cao army retreated. This is a bit of an anomaly.

"Mr. Tian Feng, what is Cao Cao doing?" Zhang Fei asked inexplicably.

Tian Feng frowned slightly and said: "Cao Cao must have been frightened by our army's 'artillery', so he will temporarily suspend his troops to discuss countermeasures."

Zhang Fei glanced at Tian Feng and asked in surprise: "Mr. Tian Feng, Cao Jun retreated, but you don't seem to be happy?"

Tian Feng involuntarily sighed and replied, "How can I be happy!" Cao Cao is cunning, and his strategists are all extraordinary, I really don't know what kind of tricks they will come up with! If there is a loss, how can I be worthy of the lord!

Zhang Fei said with a grin: "Don't worry too much! No matter how tricky he Cao Cao is, he can't fly through this pot pass. If they want to take the Huguan, they can only attack hard, and when it is their turn to attack hard, our northern army has never scared anyone! "。 Zhang Fei's expression was very proud, but he had a reason to be proud, since the formation of the army, the Northern Army has gone through countless battles, but it has never been defeated.

Tian Feng nodded, he felt that what Zhang Fei said was not unreasonable.

Cao Cao's army had already retreated, so Zhang Fei went down the city wall after arranging some necessary defensive matters. Tian Feng also went down the city wall with Zhang Fei. Most of the soldiers also returned to the barracks in the gate, leaving only the necessary defensive and surveillance forces on the walls.

After Cao's army collected his troops and returned to the camp, Cao Cao immediately summoned the generals to discuss the matter in the big tent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Northern Expeditionary Army has created an inexplicable machine that can throw stones hundreds of steps away to hit our army, who has a way to crack it?" Cao Cao asked with a gloomy face. Cao Cao was in a very bad mood at this time, he originally thought that with 300,000 troops attacking Huguan, which was only guarded by tens of thousands of Zhengbei troops, even if it was not easy to capture, there should not be much difficulty, but there was such an unexpected situation, the kind of machine that could throw stones into the sky was really terrifying.

In fact, this catapult should have been used by Cao Cao first, but because of Chen Chu's butterfly flapping its wings indiscriminately, the result became that Cao Cao was the first to bear the terrifying power of this catapult.

The generals and strategists listened to Cao Cao's questioning, so they turned their heads and ears, but no one came forward to solve Cao Cao's problems. In fact, it is no wonder that the generals and strategists don't even know what that kind of machine that can throw large rocks looks like, and where to come up with any solutions to solve them.

Seeing this scene, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel depressed. At this moment, a strategist suddenly came out and bowed to Cao Cao: "Lord, you may know what is going on?"

Cao Cao looked up and saw that it was the strategist Liu Ye who spoke. Liu Ye, the word Yang, Yangzhou Huainan Chengde people, is said to be the descendant of Liu Yan, the son of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, the king of Fuling, who is young and well-known, known as the talent of the world, recommended by Guo Jia, to serve Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao heard Liu Ye say this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "What is Ziyang's plan?" Tell me about it!

Liu Ye said: "This matter must be observed before the conclusion can be made."

Cao Cao nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "This is easy to do." There is a high mountain more than 2,000 steps southeast of Huguan, although it is far away from Huguan, but you can also vaguely check the situation in the pass. We can climb this mountain to observe the situation in Kannai. Then

Cao Cao ordered: "Zhongkang, prepare the horse immediately, and we will rush to this mountain!" "。 Cao Cao was a typical man of action, and he would immediately implement a solution as soon as he thought of it.

Xu Chu got the order and immediately withdrew from the big tent.

A moment later, Cao Cao came out of the camp and headed southeast, surrounded by a group of strategists and generals.

When they came to the foot of the high mountain, everyone couldn't help but look up. I saw that this high mountain stands alone, very high and straight, and you can indeed see the situation in the pass when you climb this high mountain, but this high mountain is very steep, and it is not only difficult to climb this mountain, but also somewhat dangerous.

"Does this mountain have a name?" Cao Cao asked one of the generals beside him.

The general immediately clasped his fists and replied: "According to the local mountain people, this mountain is called Junxiu Mountain. "

Junxiu Mountain." Cao Cao repeated in a low voice, and then smiled: "Handsome, dangerous and beautiful." That's a fitting name!

Then he turned to the crowd and said, "Let's go, let's climb this beautiful mountain together!" Cao Cao looked very interested.

However, Le Jin advised: "My lord." The beautiful mountains are steep, how can the lord be in danger? It's better for me to accompany Mr. Yang up the mountain.

Cao Cao frowned, showed a slightly annoyed expression, and said: "Since all the soldiers are not afraid of hardships and dangers, how can I, as the commander-in-chief, retreat from the difficulties!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but show admiration.

However, Le Jin still wanted to advise: "Lord,.........

" Cao Cao raised his hand to interrupt Le Jin's words and said, "This matter is settled." If I can't even face this mountain and advance and retreat with all the soldiers, how can I talk about dominating the world!

When Le Jin saw Cao Cao say this, he didn't continue to advise. Le Jin looked at Cao Cao, with a look of sincere admiration in his eyes.

The people got down from their horses, made some preparations at the foot of the mountain, and began to climb the mountain.

The scenery of Junxiu Mountain is beautiful, but the road is steep and rugged, and it took the group a lot of effort to reach the top of the mountain.

On a small platform at the top of the mountain, Cao Cao, Liu Ye and others looked down the mountain. The barracks of their own side were suddenly in full view, and the non-commissioned officers were as small as ants and difficult to discern their faces.

Take your eyes off your camp and look at Huguan. I saw that the people in the pot were even smaller and more difficult to distinguish.

Cao Cao and Liu Ye looked into the distance, their eyes searched carefully in the kettle, and after a while, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly opened almost at the same time as Liu Ye, and a trace of excitement flashed on his face. It turned out that they saw an object placed on an open field in the Huguan, although it was far away, but the object was much larger than a person, so they could vaguely distinguish the shape of the object, a rectangular body, with a bracket on it, and a long thing like a weighing rod lying across the bracket.

"Ziyang, that object is a stone-throwing vehicle that caused heavy casualties to our army?" Cao Cao hurriedly asked.

Liu Ye nodded and replied: "It should be, looking at the shape of the object, it should be a machine that throws boulders!"

"Ziyang, is there a way to break it?" Cao Cao asked eagerly.

However, to Cao Cao's surprise, Liu Ye actually shook his head, "The power of the boulder thrown by this thing is so powerful that there is no way to defend it at all!"

Cao Cao couldn't help frowning, and said in a slightly unhappy tone: "In this case, even if we know what the machine that throws boulders looks like, what is the use?"

Liu Ye retracted his gaze from afar, smiled, and hugged his fist at Cao Cao and said, "Don't be impatient, the lord is not done yet." Although we cannot defend against the blows of this thing, we can return the restraint to others in their own way.

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly brightened, and he stepped forward quickly, grabbed Liu Ye's arm and asked urgently, "What did Ziyang say about this?"

"My lord, inspired by the machine of the Northern Army, I firmly believe that I can imitate a similar machine." Liu Ye said confidently. Liu Ye is not lying when he says this, Liu Ye is not only a good strategist, but also proficient in hundreds of skills, so he has the ability to imitate catapults.

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, "Is Ziyang's words serious?" Cao Cao still couldn't believe it.

Liu Ye smiled and nodded: "This thing just uses the principle of borrowing force from a long rod, and it is not difficult to imitate it!" "

Hahaha! Good! I have a son Yang, God help me! Cao Cao laughed a little ecstaticly. Then Cao Cao immediately ordered: "Let's go back now, Mr. Ziyang is responsible for making the catapult, and the generals must fully cooperate, and there must be no mistakes!" "

Yes!" And they all agreed together.

Cao Cao turned his head and glanced at the Huguan under the mountain again, and thought fiercely in his heart: When I also have a catapult, I will definitely let the Huguan turn into ruins!

On the same day, the entire Cao Cao army went into action, tens of thousands of soldiers poured into the mountains to cut wood, and tens of thousands of people were making components and assembling them under the guidance of Liu Ye and others.

In the busyness of everyone, a decent catapult appeared in Cao Cao's military camp. Seeing this scene, everyone, including Cao Cao, was excited.

(Catapults did not actually appear in the Three Kingdoms, it should have been much earlier, it is recorded that the Chu army used catapults during the Warring States Period,

Cao Cao suffered the loss of the catapults of the Northern Army, and there was no movement for several days.)

Although Cao Jun did not move, Tian Feng did not dare to slack off, and every day he personally arranged defenses and inspected the city wall, so as not to give Cao Jun any opportunity.

And Zhang Fei was bored. Cao Jun's lack of movement made him feel that he had nothing to do, and his whole body was extremely uncomfortable. Zhang Fei, who had nothing to do, couldn't help but want to drink, but he didn't dare to drink openly, because his eldest brother, the hussar general Chen Chu, had granted Tian Feng a power, and if he dared to drink in the army, Tian Feng could punish Zhang Fei on behalf of Chen Chu.

Zhang Fei took the opportunity of Tian Feng inspecting the city wall, asked his soldiers to get a jar of wine, and secretly prepared to feast. However, God seems to be deliberately trying to get along with him. Just as Zhang Fei was about to swallow the cow and drink, the soldiers hurriedly came to report that Tian Feng had returned. Zhang Fei was so shocked that he almost fell off the wine jar.

Zhang Fei held a jar of wine, looking around in the handsome tent with a panicked expression, he wanted to find a place to hide the wine, but it was clear at a glance in the handsome tent, where was there a place to hide the wine!

At this moment, Tian Feng had already come in. Tian Feng clasped his fists and was about to speak, but he was stunned for a moment, because he saw Zhang Fei holding a jar of wine in his hand. At this time, Zhang Fei looked a little panicked, and that appearance was really unbearable.

"General, what are you?" Tian Feng asked with a slight frown.

Zhang Fei snorted and said with some embarrassment: "This, that's right!" I'm trying to refresh myself, so I want to have some drink! "

Refreshment?" Tian Feng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said unceremoniously: "General, you are joking!" I've never heard of a refreshing drink from alcohol! General, when we left the state, the lord explained that you will never be allowed to drink a drop of wine in the barracks! General, you won't forget, will you? "
