Chapter 1034: The Powerful Catapult
Chapter 034
"The decisive battle of a million troops is vigorous and vigorous. To annihilate these Cao troops, maybe there will be no need to fight so hard in the future." Zhang Yu looked at the city and said.
Yecheng is so tall and strong that Zhang Yu feels a headache just looking at it.
For the huge city wall, Zhang Yu naturally had to be fully prepared.
A large number of siege equipment was transported from the rear.
These siege equipment were built by Zhang Yu and the others in the rear after they arrived, and they built a lot at this time.
The only difference is that there is no siege vehicle this time, Zhang Yu has already burned the city gate, and the people inside can't get out, so Zhang Yu didn't prepare a siege vehicle.
The difference is that Zhang Yu has more catapults in his hand.
Zhang Yu never got this thing out.
This kind of weapon is easy to imitate, and it hurts others and yourself. When your own territory is not big enough, if it is learned by others, then your own side will bear a lot of pressure.
Now that Zhang Yu has become the number one prince in the world, he naturally doesn't have to worry so much.
The principle of the catapult is very simple, Zhang Yu can tell the craftsman about it and he can figure it out slowly.
In fact, Zhang Yu has already made this thing, but this is the first time he has used it.
The army transported a large number of siege equipment, and it will be half a day after they are ready.
It was also a headache for Cao Jun to see so many siege equipment on the top of the city.
"My lord, this Zhang Yu is very determined. I'm afraid we won't be able to delay it for too long," Xun You said.
Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said: "The king has sent a letter to ask Zhongde to take more places as soon as possible and become our rear. In addition, we must secretly prepare to attack Luoyang. If we don't take Luoyang, we will still be trapped. "
Cao Cao knew that Yecheng would never be defended, but he was here in person to delay Zhang Yu and the others as much as possible and buy Cheng Yu more time.
"Meng De, this Zhang Yujun has something new, I'm afraid this battle will be difficult." Xu You pointed to the row of catapults and said.
Zhang Yu has something new, Cao Cao is indeed a cloud of sorrow.
"Notify all generals, be careful."
Cao Cao didn't know what it was, so he could only wait and see what happened.
But soon they knew what it was.
Rows of catapults were placed there, and several soldiers began to operate.
Put the stone on it.
"put."
With an order, a large number of stones flew up.
Cao Cao felt dizzy for a while.
A large number of stones flew down from the city, and the stones were bigger than human heads.
"My lord, be careful."
"Be careful."
There was a sudden panic on the top of the city, and many people's faces were pale with fright.
Who would not be afraid of that huge rock flying from the sky.
"Bang bang bang~"
With a dull sound, these stones fell down, and the head of the person who hit them was dizzy.
"Quick, go and see how the casualties are." Cao Cao got up from the ground.
Several soldiers threw Cao Cao down in panic and pressed him to the ground.
The same was true for those civil servants, and the soldiers threw them to the ground.
A few people got up, very embarrassed.
The soldiers hurried to pass the order.
"My lord, we have already checked, and there are only a dozen casualties on our side."
Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, even if there were more than a dozen people, he could accept it continuously.
But soon he realized that his thoughts were too simple.
His side was not hit, but he saw a battlement not far away, and a large piece of it was smashed off.
This thing is a very heavy stone.
This thing can destroy the city wall, and what they rely on most is the city wall. If the city wall can be smashed down, it is scary to think about it.
Zhang Yu looked at the city wall, and this round of projections, less than one-tenth of them hit the city wall.
"continue."
The first round of shooting was very inaccurate, which is completely understandable and needs to be corrected.
The second round of attacks started again, and a large number of stones flew up.
"My lord, be careful."
"It's too dangerous here."
"Quick, protect the lord, protect the general."
There was another panic in the city.
This time the head was much bigger, and many noises could be heard from the top of the city.
This round of attack, the lethality is not very strong, but many places have been smashed.
The accuracy has improved a lot, Zhang Yu is very satisfied, nodded and said: "Very good, this time the accuracy is much bigger, just hit him like this, let's talk about it after hitting him for a day."
Under the protection of soldiers, Cao Cao went down to the top of the city.
At the same time, several counselors also came down.
Xu You's legs were shaking, Xun You's face was also pale, and some of the others were not very well.
This stone flew, it was too scary.
There is also a haze in Cao Jun's heart, it is really terrible.
When the stone fell, no matter whether it would hit himself or not, the terrifying atmosphere made people feel a lot of mental stress.
Some people who entered the battlefield for the first time almost fainted from fright.
In fact, the lethality of the arrows is greater, and the dense arrow array may fall down.
But the arrow doesn't have that terrifying aura.
Although the power of the stone is very powerful, there is no doubt that it will be despised if it hits it, but the stone is very sparse, and there is no way to gather it densely.
The biggest function of the catapult is to destroy the city wall.
As long as the city wall is destroyed, everything will be much simpler.
Cao Jun on the top of the city was in a haze.
The catapult continued to hurl, and the sound was a nightmare.
Cao Cao went back with a bad face.
"My lord, the only thing we have to do now is to destroy those things that throw stones, otherwise the city might not be able to hold for half a month, or even less." Xun You said.
Cao Cao's face was also very bad. If they hadn't blocked the gate of the city, he might have ordered the army to kill him.
This Zhang Yu had been prepared for a long time, and asked someone to burn the city gate, forcing Cao Jun to block the city gate by himself.
In this way, it will be difficult.
Is it impossible to give up the city wall?
"Prepare for the worst, and prepare in the city. If it doesn't work, fight them in a decisive battle in the city, and then retreat." Cao Cao made the next decision helplessly.
In a decisive battle in the city, this is unbeatable.
Zhang Yu's army is still providing continuous support, but they have already cut off the support on their own initiative.
However, the situation of the catapult today made it impossible for them to be optimistic.
This battle is much faster than they originally expected.
At this time, the catapults outside the city kept roaring, and huge stones were constantly thrown on the top of the city.
Many battlements were smashed.
Without the protection of these battlements, the power of the archers will be even stronger, what will they do then.
Cao Cao was helpless, very helpless.
You can only plan for the worst.
The soldiers on the top of the city were under great pressure, and many of them could not even walk after they got off the top of the city.
It's not that they haven't seen blood before, but this time they put too much pressure on them.
Zhang Yu's catapult put unprecedented pressure on them.
The catapult continued to roar, and kept roaring, as if it hadn't smashed the city wall down.
"My lord, if you smash it like this for a few days, the city wall will definitely be broken." Xi Zhicai said.
Zhang Yu nodded, and then said: "When the city is broken, it will be the most testing time."
