Standing on the building boat and looking into the distance, Cheng Pu found that the Wei army was in a strict manner, with stern infantry and cavalry, flags fluttering, drums rumbling, and looked very powerful.

Cheng Pu suddenly felt that the rumors were true. The army under Wei Gong Guo Peng was very elite, and there were few defeats on the battlefield, which was completely like a hero in the world.

This army that defeated countless northern separatist princes and finally wanted to fight against Sun Wu's army.

Cheng Pu was a little excited and ordered the army to make complete preparations to deal with the possible cavalry rushing of the Wei army.

At the previous military meeting, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Huang Gai, who had participated in the melee of northern warlords from the north, made suggestions together to explain the advantages of the northern iron cavalry.

Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Ei Han Dang and others once followed Sun Jian and joined forces with Guo Peng to fight against Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Horse Team.

These people have fought side by side with Guo Peng, and are comrades-in-arms on the battlefield. They have a certain understanding of Guo Peng's army and Guo Peng himself.

They all said that Guo Peng is good at using troops and has strong combat effectiveness, and the cavalry will cause great trouble to the military formation in terms of maneuvering and cavalry. It is recommended that Sun Ce must pay attention to it. The Jiangdong Army, which lacks a horse team, cannot compete with the Wei army on land.

Neither Sun Ce nor Zhou Yu had ever experienced a game with the Northern Cavalry. They both grew up in Jiangdong.

The largest horse team Sun Ce has ever seen is the horse team under Yuan Shu, but the horse team under Yuan Shu can no longer be compared with the horse team of the northern overlord Guo Peng.

"The elite of the Wei Dan horse team in the world, once wiped out the cavalry of various tribes of the Southern Xiongnu, Wuwan, and Xianbei. Even the cavalry of the Northern Lu were not the opponents of the Wei Gong cavalry. You can imagine how elite the Wei Gong cavalry was.

The iron cavalry is erected and interspersed on the battlefield, which will greatly affect the coordination and connection between the various military formations, and may even cause danger to the central army formation. Our army lacks a cavalry and cannot fight against Mr. Wei, so we have to be on guard."

Cheng Pu made great efforts to Sun Ce, asking Sun Ce to be careful of the charge of the Wei cavalry that he might encounter.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu took it into consideration and then came up with a combat plan.

Their invasion of Jiujiang and Lujiang will inevitably lead to an attack from the Wei army. The elite of the Wei army in the world are unlikely to hide in the city and will definitely choose to take the initiative.

Even if they do not take the initiative to attack, the Wu army can provoke them and take the initiative to attack.

"I think that if two armies fight in the field, the side with more horses will naturally have the advantage, and our army lacks horses and cannot fight against the Wei Dancers. This is a fact. In order to make up for this weakness, we can play to our advantages."

Zhou Yu took out a model of a building ship, placed it on the mini waterway, and then set up several war chesses with ships backed by the waterway to form a military formation.

"Working with cavalry, we are most afraid of the cavalry's mobility and interspersion. Our army can form a military formation and back against the waterway, so the cavalry cannot capture the rear of our army. If tall tower ships are supplemented with, there will be many crossbowmen on the tower ships and they will be placed at a high position, and they can attack the horse team by arrows.

The army formation is backed by the waterway and the tower ships. The horse team cannot be interspersed and crossed. The advantage of the horse team will be greatly restricted. In this way, our army's formation is as stable as Mount Tai, and the Wei Dan horse team has no use of power and can only attack with infantry formations. Our army also has the condescending crossbowmen. Isn't it that the advantage of the tower ship crossbowmen?"

As soon as Zhou Yu's idea was proposed, he immediately received support from Sun Ce, and Sun Ce immediately ordered the army to start practicing such tactics.

Armed with waterways, they formed an army formation with ships, built multiple chariots and shields for defense fortifications, forming a three-dimensional defensive formation to fight against the northern superior horse team.

The new tactics achieved very gratifying results, and experienced professional veterans such as Cheng Puhandang were also satisfied with this and praised it repeatedly.

So this time, Cheng Pu fully used it.

With the back of the waterway and the large tower ships formed a formation, the bows and crossbows were ready, and they were waiting for the Wei army to charge forward so that they could see some color.

Who said that the Wu people could not defeat the Northern cavalry if they could only use ships?

Cheng Demou doesn’t believe in this evil!

Cheng Pu was silently waiting for the attack of the Wei army, and the Wu army soldiers were also on high alert. As long as the Wei army came, they would inevitably be a rain of arrows like flying locusts.

However, after the Wei army advanced to a relatively long distance, it did not continue to move forward.

Cheng Pu felt strange. Looking from a distance, the distance was still outside the range of the powerful crossbow, and it was impossible to launch a strike at all. In Cheng Pu's opinion, it was a strange thing for the Wei army to stay in that place and not move forward.

No weapon that is that far away can be used, right?

The furthest crossbow is not that far away.

So what is the purpose of the Wei army? It is just coming to confront each other and not planning to move forward?

It's interesting. Did you see through the weakness of this formation so quickly and have to send troops to provoke you before coming?

this……

Cheng Pu was a little embarrassed and was about to send an army to provoke, but at this moment, the Wei army's catapult had been assembled and could be launched.

"Xu Zhonglang, the catapult has been configured, please instruct!"

The subordinates reported to Xu Huanghui.

"Smash them hard! They're so scared!"

Xu Huang issued a throwing order.

So with a command, the war drums rang.

"put!!!!"

The command officer waved his order for a while and the new equipment and heavy trencher began to show its fangs on the battlefield.

The fierce counterweight casting demonstrated its unparalleled advantage from the beginning, whether it is shooting distance or attack strength.

Although there is still some lack of accuracy, compared with the earliest pure human trencher, accuracy has been much better.

According to the calculation results of the accounting team, the throwing accuracy of this counterweight trencher far exceeds that of the earliest human trencher, and the probability of hitting the target is greatly improved. The range can also be adjusted by adjusting the counterweight weight.

This time, the counterweight trencher not only puts effort into the trencher itself, but the craftsmen also made some changes to the stone bombs they fired according to Guo Peng's request.

They polished the stone bullets as much as possible, and then tied them together with the stone bullets with a large lightweight wooden bracket, and put them in the net and threw them out.

However, after such improvements, the shooting accuracy has been improved again, and the craftsmen are very surprised.

While watching the trench experiment, Guo Peng looked at the stone flying in the sky and suddenly remembered something called badminton, so he thought of this.

He asked the craftsmen to add a wooden support to the stone bullet, forming a self-stabilizing structure with heavy head and light tail.

Therefore, the new counterweight catapult far exceeded the old version of the human drag catapult in terms of shooting distance and shooting accuracy, and quickly replaced the human drag catapults used in Guo Peng's army, with a greatly increased technical content.

But experiments are experiments, and the first battlefield practice is this time, and it is the present.

So some people from the Jianguan team, including a group of craftsmen, had to witness and record data with their own eyes.

Xu Huang said that these people were lunatics, and then put them on helmets and armor, and sent troops to protect these people.

This group of people was extremely eager to see with their own eyes whether the killer they created and improved could bear their expectations.

If possible, this is undoubtedly extremely happy for them, which will prove that their efforts are not wrong and their efforts are in the right direction.

So when they saw the heavy and huge counterweight catapults sending huge wooden sling bullets into the sky with relatively clumsy actions, watching the rock bullets drifting through a beautiful and stable arc in the air and steadily falling towards the Sun Wu Navy who was parked on the water, the excitement in their hearts was conceivable.
