Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 185 The greater the power, the more violent the temper

[Do you want to buy the advanced version of Zhuge Liannu? 】

"Buy!"

[Congratulations, the purchase was successful, your current balance: 143446. 】

Ma Di didn't stop, and quickly slid his fingers across the "Lianfang Battleship" and "Shipborne Breaking Crossbow", and accurately poked on the "catapult".

These two things will only be used when attacking Wu, and there is no need to buy them for the time being.

[Would you like to buy a set of manufacturing drawings and samples of the enhanced version of the Liu Ye brand trebuchet? 】

"Buy!"

[Congratulations, the purchase was successful, your current balance: 133446 points. 】

[Whether to buy a set of powerful artifacts, one each of the manufacturing drawings and samples of "Punching (knife) carts, trench-building carts, trench-filling carts, siege cones, and Greek ballistas". 】

"Buy!"

[Congratulations, the purchase was successful, your current balance: 123446 points. 】

[The above items are being delivered urgently, please pay attention to check. 】

After a fierce operation like a tiger, Ma Su withdrew his fingers in satisfaction, with a relaxed expression on his face.

I still remember that in the dungeon experience, he tried his best to pass the "Jin Xiwu" sub-map.

Now, no more thinking about it.

Directly lead [-] cavalry and siege equipment to kill them, and then they can level up the three counties of "Jinxiwu".

At that time, if the three major defenders of the Wei State resisted stubbornly, they only needed to pull out the catapult and smash the city gate to pieces. Then, as soon as the trench-building carts and trench-filling carts came out, the soldiers would be able to stride across the city with great arrogance. Cross the moat...

In later generations, in order to resist the "airborne shells" such as stones and rolling logs thrown by the attackers from a long distance, the defenders usually used fishing nets, cloth and silk to prop up the curtain on the tower, that is, set up a big tent to cover the sky above the city wall. Thus defusing the lethality of "cannonballs".

At the same time, the same long-distance throwing equipment as the attacker will be set up on the tower to launch a long-distance confrontation with the attacker.

But these are the countermeasures that later generations have explored.

In the current era, the generals defending the city could not think of such a way to deal with it.As far as Wei State is concerned, since the throwing weight is not enough to break open the city gate, the catapult is only used in positional warfare and has not been used in siege warfare.

For Ma Su.

Even if the defensive side knows how to use the curtain to block the flying rocks from the sky, he still has the back hand to launch "incendiary bombs" such as fireballs.

Because people in this era have weak awareness of fire prevention, and the houses are mostly made of wood and thatched houses, as long as the "incendiary bomb" is released, the fire will spread rapidly and it is difficult to control.

But in fact, whether it is "incendiary bombs" attacking the city or flying stones breaking the door, there will be a way to counter-crack it in later generations.

"Smearing mud to prevent fire" and "preparing multiple water tools" can effectively prevent fire attacks.

The way to crack the flying stones and break the door is to sacrifice a small punching cart, also known as the "plug door knife cart". This device is to place dozens of sharp blades on the front end of a cart to block the city gate.

In this way, even if the city gate is broken, as long as the defending soldiers hold the knife cart firmly, the enemy will not be able to enter the city. The knife cart can also be used on the frontal battlefield. Soldiers pushing the cart vigorously into the crowd can kill countless people in an instant.

If you happen to encounter a city without a moat, you can also use a big rush car.The Da Chong chariot is as high as five or six battles, and its height is equal to or slightly higher than the city wall.There is a flyover on it, which can be directly built on the opponent's city wall, so that the soldiers of the attacking side can continuously rush into the tower.Chong chariots generally have five floors, the bottom floor is for soldiers pushing the cart forward, and the upper four floors are all for siege soldiers.

In short, in a city offensive and defensive battle, as long as the city gate is broken, the attacker can quickly win the war by virtue of the superiority in numbers.

While meditating, Zhang Xiu ran in in a panic, and started yelling from a long distance: "General, when the general was patrolling outside the central tribe, he found several siege equipment, including knife carts, trench-building carts, trench-filling carts, A siege cone, a strange crossbow, and a manufacturing plan..."

Before the words were finished, Zhao Yun walked over quickly and said happily: "Youchang, the prime minister improved the range of the Liannu a few days ago, and specially sent someone to announce the good news."

"What about the crossbow?"

"Not here!" Zhao Yun spread his hands.

Ma Di was slightly surprised.

According to Zhuge Liang's character, he should not miss this kind of opportunity to manifest himself before others, so he will definitely send a Liannu over to attract attention and amazement, not just verbal transmission.

Could it be that he deliberately concealed the news of the new Liannu, and then wanted to catch Sima Yi by surprise?

Eighty percent is this possibility.

Ma Di shook his head, no longer thinking about Liannu, and instead ordered Zhang Xiu to recruit Han craftsmen on the spot to make siege chariots and trebuchets.

Ten months passed in a blink of an eye.

The north wind is howling, and the weather in the northwest is getting colder and colder.

Shaodangqiang, located at the northern tip of the Qinghai Plateau, is very lively.

All preparations for the expedition have been completed, and the siege equipment has also been manufactured.

With Ma Di's order, the [-] cavalry started slowly, galloping from slow to fast, and the [-] logistics troops set off as early as the day before, carrying grain, grass and supplies.

Jincheng, the prefect's mansion.

Guo Huai walked up and down the hall with his hands behind his back, full of worries.The eyes of the two generals, one fat and one thin, followed his figure with horror on their faces.

"My lord, the [-] Shu army has reached eighty miles away, and the envoy sent by Ma Su is uttering harsh words. If they don't surrender within three days, the city will be destroyed and no one will be left behind!" The fat general said tremblingly. .

"My lord, what shall we do?"

"What should I do..." Guo Huai muttered to himself, shook his head, and flicked his sleeves impatiently, "They have a large number of troops and ample equipment, and our army has few major generals, so I'm afraid they won't be able to defend what."

"My lord, since you can't defend yourself, why don't you surrender early? I heard that General Dai Ling was treated well in the Shu army..." Said the thinner general Qiqi Ai.

"This is the county of Great Weizhou, you are all Wei ministers, why do you say such rebellious words?" Guo Huai gave Shou Pianjiang a dissatisfied look, feeling annoyed in his heart.

"If you dare to talk about surrender again, you will definitely be killed!"

Having said that, in fact, Guo Huai also had the idea of ​​"in case of desperation, surrender to the Shu Han".

Of course, when there is a way to go, he will never surrender to the Shu Han.

Moreover, even if you really want to vote for Shu, you will not vote as soon as the enemy army arrives.

At least wait until the evening of the third day, the last moment of the deadline, before surrendering.

Only in this way can we not only get the reuse of the State of Shu, but also show our attitude to the State of Wei: It's not that I don't resist, but the truth is that the other party is too strong.

In this way, the family who stayed in Luoyang could survive.

If the defenders surrendered as soon as the Shu army arrived, then how many family members there were would not be enough for Lord Wei to kill.

"Pass on my order, stick to the city, stay safe and don't be impatient, anyone who moves recklessly, beheaded!"

After Guo Huai spoke heavily, he turned around and walked out with a flick of his sleeves, leaving the other two standing there awkwardly.

Among the three options of abandoning the city and fleeing, standing firm and waiting for help, and going to Shu to protect himself, Guo Huai chose to stick to it and wait for help.

Outside the city, the encirclement circle of the Shu army is about to form.

In the city, Wei Bing looked calm and didn't panic.The gate of the city was closed, and the soldiers stood behind the parapet with helmets and spears, monitoring every move of the Shu army.

Ma Di was a little disappointed. He came with [-] elite cavalry in a menacing manner. He thought that even if the Wei army was not frightened, they would still be shivering on the tower.

But now it seems that they are not afraid.

So Ma Di felt that the Wei soldiers in the city did not respect his prestige and the lethality of [-] cavalry.

If that's the case, don't get used to them.

Let them see how powerful the new weapon is.

Ma Su reined in the reins, glared at the city, raised his arms high, and said in a deep voice:
"Catapult, get ready!"
