The most powerful fool system

These ten siege mortars came too timely for Xu Feng.
Because Xu Feng will soon lead an army to attack the Eastern Capital (Luoyang). The Eastern Capital of this era is definitely the strongest and tallest.
In addition, the eastern capital has sufficient food and grass, and is surrounded by moats, so it is impossible to cut off the water source, and even a siege cannot be done.
As long as Wang Shichong has more than 30 soldiers and horses defending the city, the attacking side does not have an army of [-] to [-], and there is absolutely no possibility of storming the eastern capital.
This is why Wang Shichong was defeated by Li Mi at the beginning.
The Wagang army led by Li Mi defeated Xingyang and Sishui Pass, but there was no reason to attack the Eastern Capital in the end.
But if Xu Feng had ten siege mortars in his hand, they would be a great siege weapon.
The most important thing is that people in this era have never seen artillery. After all, artillery has not yet appeared in this era.
Once the time comes, when Xu Feng attacks the Eastern Capital, he will use these mortars, perhaps with light and sound, to scare Wang Shichong's soldiers.
The more Xu Feng thought about it, the happier he was, and he found a flat place in Sishuiguan, and asked Dian Wei to surround him with his people and not allow anyone to approach.
Then, Xu Feng exchanged the ten siege mortars from the system.
Bang bang bang!
After a loud bang, a series of low black iron lumps sat on the ground.
These mortars are similar to what Xu Feng remembered. They are the most primitive mortars, with short bores, wide muzzles, and simple structures. Normally, they should appear hundreds of years later.
Next to each mortar, there is also a large box, which contains ten mortar shells and the gunpowder required for firing.
Xu Feng opened the box and found that the mortar shells inside were solid.
"Unfortunately, it is a solid shell. It would be even more enjoyable if it was a flower shell."
Xu Feng thought in his heart, but even if it was a solid shell, Xu Feng was already very satisfied, with a bright smile on his face.
"Come here, come here."
Immediately, Xu Feng put away his smile again, regained his usual indifference, and called Dian Wei in.
"His Majesty."
"You take people and move these things into the tent, the main thing is not to wet the black powder in the box.
Then, you leave heavy guards behind, and no one is allowed to come closer without my will. "
Xu Feng said to Dian Wei.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Dian Wei responded, then looked at those mortars, touched his head, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, what are these black bumps? Are they so important?"
Xu Feng smiled slightly: "This is a treasure, it's a fetish."
"Ah, god!
Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will take good care of these fetishes for Your Majesty, and no one will come closer. "
Dian Wei was simple-minded, and he really believed Xu Feng's words, patted his chest and assured him.
"Okay, let's move it, these fetish objects are very heavy, you need to find some soldiers over here."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will find someone to move it."
Dian Wei turned and left, gathered his soldiers, and went to carry the siege mortars.

After Xu Feng captured Sishui Pass, Zhou Yu counted the casualties and results of the Sui army and reported to Xu Feng.
"In the Battle of Sishuiguan, our army lost more than 7000 men, of which [-] were casualties from the troops under the command of the two generals Yang Xin and Fan Chang.
Among them, more than [-] people were killed, more than [-] people were injured, more than [-] enemy soldiers were beheaded, and more than [-] people were captured, and the rest had already fled.
Generals Dian Wei and Li Cunxiao are leading their troops in pursuit. "
The price paid by the Sui army to conquer Sishui Pass was not small.
"Well, Zhou Yu is in charge of handling the prisoners and wounded, I don't worry.
Now, I have a more important thing to do.
From the army, choose fifty elite soldiers for me. "
Xu Feng said to Zhou Yu.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhou Yu didn't know what Xu Feng was going to do, and he wouldn't ask, he just had to answer and do it.
Xu Feng wanted to leave fifty Sui soldiers, so he naturally wanted to train these soldiers on how to use the ten siege mortars.
Since each of the siege mortars rewarded by the system only came with ten shells, Xu Feng was not willing to waste them.
Xu Feng could only train the soldiers of the Sui Army himself, and used other methods for training, and could not conduct live ammunition training.
"Report, Your Majesty, the two generals Li and Dian are back."
Xu Feng soon saw that Li Cunxiao and Dian Wei had returned with two cavalry from the Sui army, but they did not bring back many prisoners from the Zheng army.
"Cun Xiao, evil comes, what's going on?"
Xu Feng noticed that the Sui army suffered a lot of casualties and felt something was wrong.
Ordinarily, Zheng Jun had already been routed from Sishui Pass, and with Li Cunxiao and Dian Wei leading the Sui cavalry to pursue them, there shouldn't be many casualties.
"Forget it, Your Majesty.
We chased and killed those rebels, and on the way, we encountered reinforcements from Zheng Jun, more than 1 people.
If it weren't for Li Cunxiao and I fighting hard, we would almost not be able to come back to see Your Majesty. "
Dian Wei said unwillingly and angry.
"Rebel reinforcements? It should have been brought by Shan Xiongxin."
After Xu Feng listened to Dianwei's words, he immediately had a guess in his heart.
"We can't let this Zheng army's reinforcements take over the rebel soldiers who escaped from Sishui Pass, and then return to Dongdu safely."
After hearing Dian Wei's report, Xu Feng's face turned cold, and he said.
"Your Majesty, I will lead the army in pursuit and never let these rebels escape."
Li Cunxiao on the side heard what Xu Feng said, and immediately stepped forward and said.
"Well, you and Dian Wei, bring all the cavalry with you this time, be sure to defeat the rebel army who came to help, and never let them return to the Eastern Capital calmly.
Otherwise, Wang Shichong will have such a new force of tens of thousands of people in Dongdu, which will cause us great trouble when we attack Dongdu. "
"Yes, Your Majesty, don't worry, I will never let this rebel army return to the Eastern Capital."
"Me too."
Then, Li Cunxiao and Dian Wei, leading [-] Sui cavalry, left Sishui Pass again to pursue the Zheng army infantry.
After Xu Feng sent Li Cunxiao and Dian Wei out, he took the fifty Sui soldiers to train them to operate the siege mortars.
The soldiers of the Sui army were all stunned when they saw the black siege mortar. They had never seen such a strange thing.
Then, Xu Feng taught them how to operate these mortars.
Because the gunpowder and shells of the mortar are limited, Xu Feng had to give them the steps, asking them to use sand instead of gunpowder, and practice over and over again.
On the second day, Li Cunxiao and Dian Wei led the main force of the Sui cavalry and returned to Sishui Pass.
This time, their waists were covered with heads, and the cavalry behind drove a large number of Zheng Jun soldiers.
"Haha, Your Majesty, it looks like the two generals Li and Dian have won another battle!"
Zhou Yu followed Xu Feng and said with a smile.
Soon, Li Cunxiao and Dian Wei came to report.
"Your Majesty, the rebel army that withdrew to the Eastern Capital was defeated overnight by Dian Wei and I, beheading more than [-] rebel soldiers, capturing more than [-] soldiers, and the rest fled.
In the end, even if some fled back to the Eastern Capital, there would not be many. "
Li Cunxiao reported to Xu Fenghui.
"Ah, very good.
You two and the soldiers have worked hard, and I have ordered people to prepare meals.
Let the soldiers eat and then sleep well. "
Xu Feng was of course very satisfied with the result of the battle between Li Cunxiao and Dian Wei, and said kindly to them.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The news of the fall of Sishuiguan and the killing of Shan Xiongxin soon reached the ears of Wang Shichong, the eastern capital.
"How could it be possible, how could the Sishui pass be broken so quickly.
Shan Xiongxin, my son-in-law, is dead? "
When Wang Shichong first heard the news, he was also in a daze for a long time before he came back to his senses.
"Impossible, I don't believe it."
Wang Shichong, who came to his senses, did not believe this fact at all.
"Come on, send scouts to Sishui Pass to find out the situation.
I don't believe it, the Sui army is full of heavenly soldiers and generals, how could Sishui Pass be breached within two days? "
Wang Shichong roared loudly.
Indeed, it is understandable that Wang Shichong finds it difficult to accept this fact.
Because, since ancient times, except for the guard of Sishui Pass who voluntarily surrendered to the enemy, there is no imperial army that can storm Sishui Pass within two days.
At the same time, Wang Shichong instinctively didn't want to convince himself that the news was true.
It's a pity that Wang Shichong will be disappointed soon.
Because the person he sent out again to inquire about the news came back to tell him the same news as before.
"No!"
puff!
Wang Shichong roared angrily, then coughed up blood, and passed out directly in the hall.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
The other direct subordinates of Wang Shichong's confidantes rushed up in panic one by one, calling out.
Wang Shichong was in a hurry and passed out. Fortunately, after being diagnosed and treated by a famous doctor in the eastern capital, his life was not in danger.
"Has Duan Da come back?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I'm back."
"Let him come to see me."
"Yes."
Soon, Duan Da came to Wang Shichong's bed, knelt down and wailed.
"Your Majesty, my humble minister is incompetent and failed to guard Sishui Pass."
Duan Da was also fateful, he escaped successfully from Sishuiguan, and met the [-] pawns brought by Shan Xiongxin.
Originally, Duan Da was already safe, but he didn't expect the cavalry of the Sui army to chase him overnight.
After the great battle, their army was defeated, and Duan Da survived, allowing him to escape.
At this time, Wang Shichong was supported to sit up, his face was pale, he looked at Duan Da, and asked, "Tell me, is my son-in-law Shan Xiongxin really killed in battle?"
"Return to Your Majesty, the son-in-law at that time..."
Duan Da told Wang Shichong of the team about the situation of the battle at Sishuiguan.
"The son-in-law is out of the pass, the possibility of surviving is very unlikely."
