Mi Han

Chapter 97 Lu Meng's Secret Weapon
Compared to Mi Zhong who was too nervous, Yu Jin who was also sitting next to Mi Yang seemed much calmer.

When he was young, Yu Jin was also a brave general who won the three armies and would risk his life.

Think back to the Battle of Guandu, when Yuan Shao's army suppressed the situation.

All the generals in Cao Cao's tent were terrified. When Cao Cao asked who would be the vanguard, Yu Jin was the only one in the tent who volunteered.

Then he defended the important town of Yanjin for several months with only more than [-] people.

Now Jiangdong's army of [-] is attacking the city, although it is much more than Yuan Shao's army attacking Yanjin, but with this kind of experience, Yu Jin is naturally calmer than ordinary people.

Although Yu Jin has now become greedy for life and afraid of death, and values ​​fame and fortune, this is because he has been corrupted by power and wealth.

There are countless big battles in his life, maybe before he faces them, with his current ambition, he will panic.

But after facing it, his past experience will make his heart stronger than ordinary people.

Yu Jin is very contradictory, but it is also very real, and in the secular world, there are actually the most people like Yu Jin.

While Yu Jin half-closed his eyes, he asked Mi Yang a very important matter.

"Will the Yizhou reinforcements come?"

It is not terrible to face the siege of the army, but it is terrible that there is no rescue outside.

Back then Cao Ren defended Jiangling City for so long under Zhou Yu's onslaught, but why did he choose to abandon the city and flee in the end?
Because apart from Xu Huang, who likes to drive straight, Cao Ren never saw other reinforcements coming.

With no reinforcements from outside, Cao Ren and the soldiers in the city lost their mentality.

Comparing the battle of today's public security with the battle of Jiangling of that day, the truth is the same.

Perhaps at the beginning, under the leadership of Mi Yang, the morale of the public security guards will not collapse for the time being.

But as time goes by, they, who have not seen reinforcements for a long time, will gradually realize that the public security has become an isolated city.

At that time, it will be the most dangerous time in Public Security City.

But now there is only Yizhou that has troops capable of supporting the public security.

Guan Yu couldn't protect himself there.

Faced with this question about Jin, Mi Yang almost without thinking, replied firmly, "Definitely."

Today's situation is different from the original history.

Now Guan Yu has not yet been defeated, and Liu Bei should have received the news that Guan Yu is in danger.

According to Liu Bei's character and his performance in history, there is only one thing he will do next:

That is to gather the army and kill Sun Quan!

Hearing Mi Yang's affirmative answer, Yu Jin was noncommittal, and he asked Mi Yang again, "In the battle of Hanzhong, although Yizhou won the battle, it was severely damaged."

"How much strength does Yizhou have now to start another big war?"

Faced with this question about Jin, Mi Yang smiled and said, this is the first time he laughed in the past few days, because he thought of someone.

"With Mr. Ge here, why should Wen worry about this?"

Hearing Mi Yang mentioning that person, Yu Jin knew it, so he also laughed.

It's Zhuge Liang.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

Mi Yang's trust in Zhuge Liang is not due to blind self-confidence.

Historically, Liu Bei was defeated in the Battle of Yiling. The tens of thousands of elite soldiers he had accumulated over the past decade, dozens of new-generation generals, and the food and grass accumulated in Yizhou for many years were all destroyed in that battle.

At that time, Ji Han was almost on the verge of subjugation.

At that moment, it was Zhuge Liang who stood up.

And just after experiencing such a tragic defeat, in just a few years, Yizhou can launch various major military measures to conquer the Southern Barbarians and the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains.

This is enough to prove that Zhuge Liang's political skills are simply out of date.

Among the later generations, many people began to criticize Zhuge Liang because of the rhythm of certain marketing accounts.

But no matter how black he is, no one dares to black him for two points.

One is Zhuge Liang's character, and the other is Zhuge Liang's ability to govern.

Even if Yizhou's vitality is seriously injured now, it is far from the tragic defeat of Yiling in history.

With Zhuge Liang around, it is very unlikely, but with tens of thousands of elite soldiers, it is still possible.

Mi Yang said to Ji Yan with a firm face, "I have been taught by the King of Hanzhong since I was a child, and he values ​​love and righteousness."

"If my master Ge Gong can only raise [-] soldiers, the King of Hanzhong will not hesitate to bring only [-] soldiers."

"Where the love lies, there is no doubt about the text."

Looking at Mi Yang's swearing and trusting appearance in Liu Bei, Yu Jin felt emotional.

When he was young, he had longed for such a relationship between a monarch and his ministers.

But in the end it was a pity and a pity.

"If it was in the past, I would never believe Zicheng's nonsense."

"But now, after being by your side for many days, I have seen many things, and now I say that I will wait and see."

This is the first time Yu Jin called Mi Yang by his nickname.

Yu Jin's sincere tone made Mi Yang laugh out loud.

Most of the conversations between Yu Jin and Mi Yang were whispers, so Mi Yang suddenly laughed, which made many people on the city wall confused.

But when they saw that their general was able to talk and laugh freely in such a dangerous environment, their moods couldn't help but improve.

But at this moment, the soldiers on the city wall who were watching the enemy's situation suddenly let out an exclamation.

"It's a trebuchet! It's a trebuchet!"

After hearing this exclamation, the soldiers on the city wall got up from the battlements one after another, came to the side of the city wall and looked down, including Mi Yang.

When they saw the launch of a new behemoth in the camp of the Jiangdong army, all the people on the city wall showed heavy expressions on their faces.

Catapults are also known as trebuchets and cart throwers.

The trebuchet first appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

"Fan Li's Art of War" once recorded: The flying stone weighs twelve catties, and it is fired by a machine, and it can travel three hundred steps.

This is still the power of the early trebuchets. After hundreds of years of evolution under the needs of war, the trebuchets have long been modified and more advanced.

During the Battle of Guandu that year, Cao Cao appointed the remodeled trebuchet as a catapult, and when he hit Shaolou, all of them were destroyed. Shaozhong called it the Perak Chariot.

The dozens of trebuchets launched from Jiangdong Daying are carefully improved by Jiangdong craftsmen.

These dozens of catapults are of that kind of composite type, the most of which have five cannon tips mounted on a gun mount, the catapults are several feet high, and the base is also several feet long and wide.

At present, the trebuchets launched by the Jiangdong army require more than a hundred people to move each one!
Facing such a huge monster, even the public security guards on the city wall felt a little short of breath for a while.

The trebuchet is different from the catapults used these days. After firing the stone bombs, the trebuchet can directly cause large-scale damage to the defenders on the city wall.

It turned out to be Juma antlers outside the moat, which have been almost demolished.

With the obstacles gone, the trebuchet can advance to the moat.

In this case, the public security wall was almost within range of the trebuchet.

So Lu Meng thought of using the trebuchet.

And this is also a big killer move he prepared for the police.

Seeing the huge trebuchet slowly approaching the moat, and hearing the huge gear friction sound of the trebuchet due to its action, everyone on the city wall felt a deep sense of uneasiness.

At this time, everyone turned their eyes to Mi Yang.

They hope that their master will come and find a way to save them.

At this time, Mi Yang also looked at the slowly approaching trebuchet with a serious face, but he didn't feel any nervousness in his heart.

Because he was prepared for this move.

Mi Yang commanded Mi Zhong in a deep voice, "Go and bring the "free battle card"!"

Mi Zhong didn't realize it for a while, when will there be a free card for fighting?
Now is not the spring and autumn period.

Seeing Mi Zhong standing still, Mi Yang quickly kicked him to remind him, "Sun Huan!"

These words instantly awakened Mi Zhong Rumeng, and he hurriedly ran down the city happily.
