章 173: Chapter 173: Let's Disgust Each Other
Five days passed by in the blink of an eye and Chen Xi had received the news from Jingzhou. He sighed. Sometimes this bastard, Yuan Shu, was really confident. He was beaten in the back of his head, but he could continue to move forward so calmly. In confidence, this psychological quality is not something that ordinary people can have.
However, if Chen Xi looks at it from a pure spectator's point of view, there is nothing wrong with Yuan Shu making this choice, because neither Pingyu under the siege of Chen Xi, Lin City under the siege of Liu Bei, nor Chen Guo under the siege of Guan Yu can be won in a short time. On the contrary, once Jiangling City was defeated and returned with a great victory, Liu Bei's forces can all be beaten into small cakes.
Of course, Chen Xi knew that Yuan Shu's way of thinking was definitely not what he thought. It was purely because the temptation in front of Jiangling City was too tempting that he forgot about the trouble of Liu Bei and Cao Cao selectively. But, sometimes some animal intuitions can really frustrate the enemy's strategy.
"Military division, what should I do now?" Hua Xiong asked with a bow. It must be noted that Hua Xiong is Chen Xi's guard, although basically, Chen Xi had never commanded this guy.
"Fight, give them some pressure." Chen Xi said helplessly, "Since Yuan Shu is not sensible, then give him a little color to look at. Let Yu Jin pile up a mountain of dirt to see the situation first, and invite ten craftsmen over. Let's get a few catapults to put some pressure on them."
Yu Jin took Yin Li and Wu Dun to work in the field of earthwork. Since Chen Xi came quickly, Qiao Rui hadn't had time to cut down all the trees in the vicinity of Pingyu. It was too simple to have a brainless mountain of earth 150 meters away.
In just two days, seven thousand people use no brains to use giant trees, clods, stones, and other various things to pile up a 100-meter-long soil slope, and it is still possible for people to do more physical work.
What 's more important is that guy, Qiao Rui, watched Chen Xi work on the earth slope. He didn't even try to stop it at all. When Chen Xi saw this situation, he could only say one thing: No IQ. War is not letting what the other party wants to do to be able to do it. As a result, Qiao Rui now sees that the other party is playing happing, and he doesn't go up to give the opponent some color to look at, but is still watching the fun. Isn't this just looking for death?
In the past two days, the dozens of craftsmen have made six catapults, but this thing was just for looks. If you want to attack the city wall that is six feet thick of pure stone and take this siege, not to mention these crudely made things, even if you use a cannon, it wouldn't work.
Incidentally, using the catapult to smash the city wall and being able to smash the city walls are a rare things in history. Through accumulation over the years, the siege weapons improve, and the trebuchets are basically something hundreds of years later. Accurately speaking, don't think about it before 1417 in the Middle Ages.
"This thing work?" Chen Xi looked at a wedge on the left and an inlay on the right. As for the legendary wheels that could run, there was no such thing.
"The military commander can rest assured that we have tested this object before and it can be used. Large stones that weigh 150 kg can be thrown as far as 150 meters away." Wu Dun, who manages the craftsman, thumped his chest and said.
Chen Xi looked at these six catapults with a suspicious look. [The size of each part is different. Is this to force me to stipulate the accuracy and make an assembly line to exploit you?]
"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Just throw it and try. I would feel sorry for these 100-year-old woods if we don't try it. Hmm..." Chen Xi waved his hand to signal Wu Dun that no explanation was necessary and just put the stone on it.
"Brothers, get the stone ready!" Wu Dun shouted.
Chen Xi then saw a group of people struggling to fix the arm of the catapult. Then Wu Dun lifted a huge stone and threw it in the basket on the side of the arm.
"Military division, please step back a little bit!" Wu Dun did two chest expansion exercises and said, "This thing is a little dangerous!"
Afterward, dozens of soldiers with inner qi let go of the arm together, only to hear the "whoosh" sound. After throwing a stone, the arm of the catapult smashed on the earth slope. A group of people was covered in the dirt under the scorching sunlight when the whole arm smashed down. Chen Xi reacted very quickly and fanned the fan. The dirt flew away from him, and the opposite side became terracotta warriors.
But at this time, everyone's attention was on the stone, so they didn't care about the dirt on their body. They saw the whole stone flew out at a very fast speed, and then crossed the city wall and landed in the city. In the city, the entire house was smashed to pieces, and the back wall was smashed by the pieces of stone that flew out.
"Cough cough, there is a bit of error. Let's try again." Wu Dun said with a little embarrassment. It was too shameful. It actually flew over the city wall. It seems to be because of the reason that the earth slope is somewhat high.
After Wu Dun threw five more shots, he finally hit a person. The scene was really terrible. The whole person was hit by a stone weighing several hundred kilograms and was directly beaten into minced meat. Then the pieces of stone hit the upper body of two more people...
Chen Xi turned his head away and couldn't bear to look at the scene. Especially since this body has good ears and eyesight, the dynamic vision can almost see how the whole person is smashed into little pieces...
"Military division, there are indeed some problems with the hit rate..." Wu Dun saw Chen Xi turn away and thought he was dissatisfied, so he quickly explained.
"Build a few more. I don't care about the hit rate, just shoot them. I never thought of relying on this thing to siege the city. It was just used to disgust the opponents. You and Xu Ding will send the troops to stay under the earth slope. Then pile up an earth slope in front to suppress the archers on the city wall with bows and arrows." Chen Xi waved his hand to signal that the other party did not need to explain, and in order to make Wu Dun feel at ease, he ask to build a few more.
"Obey!" Wu Dun cupped his hand as a salute and said. As long as Chen Xi continues to make it, it would be fine. If Chen Xi just turned away without saying anything, Wu Dun felt that he had to think about it.
After going down the earth slope, Chen Xi went to Hua Xiong. Don't think about using a strong attack on Pingyu City. The lives of 20,000 soldiers are not enough to fill it in. Even if the catapult and the archers on higher ground will lower the morale of the other party, but as long as the bridge doesn't go down, you can't do anything.
"Hua Xiong, how many of the tomb robbers did you find?" Chen Xi asked Hua Xiong after he found Hua Xiong. Other methods are a bit slow, and it is now more reliable to dig tunnels. After all, there are still a few more years according to the time before the tunnel siege was used. The first tunnel siege began with Yuan Shao's offensive battle against Gongsun Zan in Yijing!
Nowadays, almost no one is going to guard against underground passages. Chen Xi estimated that with hundreds of professional talents, digging a tunnel with a length of more than 100 meters to less than 200 meters would take about a month. The tunnel defense system will soon be made quickly. After using it, Yuan Shao wouldn't be able to use this trick to kill Gongsun Zan, and Gongsun Zan would be able to carry on for some more time.
