The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Speaking of force, it is not weaker than ordinary generals.

But compared with a fierce general like Pound, he is still slightly inferior.

Therefore, after less than [-] rounds of fighting, Cao Tai showed his defeat and couldn't hold on anymore.

Seeing this, Cao Ren turned pale with fright, and immediately called Jin to withdraw his troops.

Afterwards, Pang De withdrew his knife and let Cao Tai go.

"The enemy general is powerful, our army has already lost General Han Hao, if another general is damaged, it will deal a huge blow to morale.

Let's stop here for the time being, and wait for the next day to fight again! "

Under Cao Ren's explanation, the generals understood his intentions.

Therefore, after Mingjin, he slowly retreated to the city without any panic.

Seeing this, Ma Chao had no choice but to lead his troops back.

Before the official battle started, the enemy general had already been captured, and this harvest made everyone very satisfied.

They all kept praising Ma Dai.

In fact, there is another more important reason why Ma Chao did not attack immediately.

That is, he has arranged for the craftsmen in the camp to make large-scale siege equipment in the past few days.

The so-called sharpening the knife does not cut firewood by mistake, Ma Chao can only start attacking the city after the equipment is ready.

In addition to ordinary siege equipment such as ladders and carts, Ma Chao is still waiting for a more powerful weapon to be created.

This is a weapon invented by His Majesty himself, and he named it the Boulder Return Cannon.

Although Ma Chao didn't know why His Majesty would give it such a weird name, he had witnessed the strength of the boulder's return cannon with his own eyes.

The huge boulder weighing more than 200 kilograms was easily thrown by it like a projectile, and the sound shook the world, and all the hits were destroyed, even the city wall was instantly crushed by it.

Such weapons can not only cause damage, but also torture the enemy's spirit.

After five days of intensive construction, a catapult with a height of more than two feet and a somewhat weird appearance was finally completed.

All the generals surrounded it curiously, pointing at it.

Because, at that time, the shape of ordinary catapults was very simple, and they were generally driven by human power.

The largest one can only throw stones weighing tens of catties, and the attack distance is only more than 100 meters.

This was the common understanding of the people of that era.

That's why I'm interested in this strangely shaped thing.

Moreover, the coach Ma Chao admired him so much that everyone was even more curious.

"General, is this boulder return cannon really that powerful?" Pound asked curiously.

"That is natural. This is a weapon invented by His Majesty himself.

You haven't seen it before.The general had seen his power with his own eyes at that time.

Even a city wall more than ten feet thick can't stop its blow, and a low city wall like Yangcheng.

It doesn't take three strikes, and it will fall apart and turn into dust! "

When the generals heard this, they were all dumbfounded, and they all exclaimed in disbelief: "Really, is it really so powerful?"

Ma Chao said proudly: "If you don't believe me, I will witness it with my own eyes tomorrow!"

Among those present, only military adviser Pang Tong remained calm, because he was the only one who had seen the power of this weapon.

It's just that the manufacturing process of this huge rock return cannon is really complicated, and only one was built in so many days.

But Ma Chao is very confident that this one is enough to break through Yangcheng.

In the early morning of the second day, Ma Chao ordered the three armies to eat and drink enough, and launched a general attack on Yangcheng.

Except for [-] cavalry as a warning maneuver, the other [-] soldiers and horses were all thrown into the battlefield by Ma Chao.

Because of the boulder return cannon, Ma Chao decided to complete his work in one battle.

Fighting to take Yangcheng today, that's why the whole army was dispatched directly.

The footsteps of the 8 horses marching made a huge and dull tremor, and the defenders in Yangcheng were immediately alarmed.

They hurriedly ran to the top of the city to observe, but they saw enemy troops all over the mountains and plains in the distance, coming together from all directions.

After Cao Ren saw it clearly, he immediately ordered someone to ring the alarm bell.

Fortunately, he had already made preparations, and all the soldiers would go to their respective positions to guard according to the division of labor.

Among them, Cao Tai led [-] troops to guard the east gate, Gao Qian led [-] troops to guard the west gate, and Zhuge Qian led [-] troops to guard the north gate.

He personally commanded the remaining [-] people and guarded the south gate, which was the enemy's primary target.

When all the generals of the Cao army were in place, Ma Chao's army finally came to the city and surrounded the city.

Under the command of Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Pang De, and Pang Rou each led [-] troops to attack the east, west, and north gates.

He himself led an army of [-] to attack the south gate, and the remaining [-] army did not move for the time being, and they would fight out together after the city was broken.
