Chapter 723 Quantitative and qualitative changes
Sun Quan once suspected the feasibility of Wei Ba's launching more than a thousand thunderbolt cars together. There are two main reasons: First, so many thunderbolt cars cannot be placed on a limited position, and the thunderbolt cars behind are too far from the city wall, which may exceed.
The range is impossible to hit the city wall; secondly, so many Thunderbolt cars require a large number of stone bombs, so there is no time to supply them.
Facts have proved that Sun Quan’s worries were redundant. Wei Ba solved these two problems well, but there was only one method, that is, to use hollow clay pots instead of solid stone bullets. The clay pots are lighter and can be thrown farther.
It was easily thrown into Wancheng from four or five hundred steps away, but the fire-induced objects inside could play a role in burning and burned down the protective measures prepared by the Wei army.
One problem that Sun Quan did not expect was: One hundred thunderbolt vehicles were launched in one day, which was one thousand thunderbolt vehicles for one hour. It seemed that the number of stone bombs was launched, but the effect was absolutely different. When one thousand thunderbolt vehicles were launched at the same time
The spectacular scene and the intensity of the strike are far from comparable to one hundred Thunderbolt cars.
Quantitative change causes qualitative change. When the quantity exceeds a certain scale, the effect triggered may be completely two concepts. When Wei Ba issued the order to launch and more than a thousand Thunderbolt cars began to roar, the scene was absolutely thrilling, making anyone present
Unforgettable.
The stone bullets and pottery pots poured out like hail on the city, making the Wei army dizzy. They were so frightened that after the pots were broken, no one was surprised that after the pots were broken, they suddenly caught fire. They were completely stunned.
Since the war, I have never seen such a scene. The stone bullets swept across the Wei army's positions, leaving behind a mess.
The shield was beaten into pieces, the armor was bumped into pieces, the combat preparations prepared on the city wall were beaten to pieces, and the soldiers were beaten to death with blood, bones and bodies, and blood flowed wildly.
Except for the thick walls that remained the same, everything else went into vanish under the intensive attack of stone bombs.
Without a complete shield, without a perfect person, or even a living person, someone can escape the attack of stone bombs. After all the covers are destroyed, they cannot face the dense rain of arrows.
The city wall was in a mess, with arrows everywhere, stone bullets everywhere, fire everywhere, broken pottery everywhere. The flames ignited the arrow feathers, ignited the hot oil used to defend the city, and ignited anything that could burn.
The air is filled with the choking smell of smoke.
The southwest corner of Wancheng has become a sea of fire, and intermittent moans can be heard amid the crackling sound of fire.
The Wei army reinforcements rushed over, but were stopped by the dense rain of arrows and bullets. Stone bullets roared and dust flew. Clay pots fell into the crowd, cracked into pieces, and then blue smoke rose.
Sparks came out. With the blue smoke floating around, a spicy smell enveloped the Wei soldiers, causing them to snot and cough, and their eyes were blurred. It was even a problem to see the road, let alone defense.
The formation was chaotic, and arrows took advantage of the gap and killed a large number of people. The Wei army, which entered the range of the Shu Han army, was hit head-on, and they had not even seen the enemy.
The Wei army was in a panic and looked for hidden objects to hide. They could not get close to the west corner to provide support. They could only watch their companions moaning in the ruins.
In just half an hour, Wei Ba destroyed the defense of Wancheng. There were few Wei soldiers who were still alive in the southwest corner of Wancheng. They either died or escaped. Even the two most garrisoned gates were
No exception.
Wancheng opened its doors to the Shu Han army.
Li Yan was surprised and happy. He knew that his estimate was too pessimistic. When Wei Ba first told him this tactic, he only estimated that this tactic might have unexpected effects, but he did not expect the effect.
It will be so good.
He knew that his promise to the generals that he wanted to conquer Wancheng within four days was not only a heroic empty talk, but also a very conservative prophecy. He originally estimated that Wei Ba would take at least half a day to destroy Wancheng's defense.
But now, his order to attack was still in his ears, and Wei Ba had completed the mission.
Li Yan knew that from now on, the tactics of siege will undergo a major change, and this fierce and violent concentrated shooting will open a new chapter in the history of siege. And he is the commander and winner of this battle.
.
Li Yan's voice trembled slightly. He took a lot of effort before he raised his hand and pointed forward: "Transfer the order, extend the shooting, Meng Da's troops are ready to attack!"
The commander rushed out and sent Li Yan's orders to Wei Ba and Meng Da.
Soon, Wei Ba issued an order, and the thunderbolt chariot and crossbow chariot advanced towards the city wall and shot deep into Wancheng to clear obstacles for the siege troops.
Meng Da issued an order to attack the city. Deng Xian, Li Fu and others pushed a large cart wrapped in raw cowhide and quickly approached the city wall. The city was silent, and no Wei army even stood up and shot an arrow. The Shu Han army easily took it.
After rushing through the filled moat, he pushed the siege cart under the city wall, and climbed to Wancheng. They encountered almost no resistance, and the only things that caused them trouble were stone bullets, pottery pieces and fire everywhere.
Two city gates were opened, and Meng Da led his troops into the city and rushed straight to the second city wall set up by the Wei army in the city. After they entered the city, they did not attack immediately, but instead stood up and set off a pair of them.
With a defensive posture, he began to clean up the positions. In order to build a second city wall, Sima Yi had demolished many houses and cleaned up a large area of land. Meng Da just needed to sort out these places.
Meng Da was in a very good mood. He looked at the Wei army on the city wall and Sima Yi surrounded by his personal guards, and laughed.
Sima Yi at the top of the city faced like a dirt. He had never underestimated Wei Ba, but he found that his estimate was still serious. In less than half an hour, the Shu Han army captured Wancheng, and the result was beyond his expectations.
In fact, except for Wei Ba, this result was beyond everyone's expectations, and Sun Quan was also as surprised as Sima Yi.
Sun Quan sat in the camp, holding a book in his hand, secretly feeling sad. As King of Wu, he had no reason to stand for Li Yan, and he had handed over all the few remaining elites to commander Zhao Tong.
There were only three thousand soldiers around him, and it was meaningless to participate in the war. It was better to stay aside and wait for news. When he was free, he found a book to read it in order to show that he was very calm. Unexpectedly, it would be fine if he didn't read it.
It made me sad when I saw it.
This book comes from Jiaozhou and also describes the barbarian customs south of Jiaozhou. The author is Xue Zong, who once served as an official in the Wu State.
Xue Zong was a disciple of Liu Xi. He avoided the chaos of Jiaozhou and was dependent on Shi Xie. When Lu Dai pacified Jiaozhou, Xue Zong followed the army and became very interested in the Jiaozhou area. Later, he became the official of the host, Pushe. Wei Ba took Jiaozhou, and Liu Xi was the first to be the first to be a member of the essay.
After the high priest of Jiaozhou School drunk, Xue Zong quickly resigned and left, and Sun Quan never heard of him again.
Unexpectedly, Xue Zong was traveling in Jiaozhou and wrote this book. This aroused Sun Quan's worries and felt a lot of sadness.
Just when he was feeling uncomfortable, Hu Zong hurried into the tent.
"King, the Shu Han army has entered the city."
Sun Quan didn't know how to get over it for a while. He thought Hu Zong was saying that the Shu Han army had attacked the city, so he responded casually: "Well, the progress is quite fast." Before he finished speaking, he realized what Hu Zong said: "
Going into the city?"
Hu Zong nodded, opened his mouth and gasped for two times. He ran here from the earth platform where he was watching the formation, running out of breath.
"How is that possible?" Sun Quan jumped up suddenly, his eyes swept the roving pot at the corner of the tent, and then looked at the book on the table. The roving pot's roving bridge had just moved a little, and the book had only read a few pages. Why did the Shu Han army enter?
Leave the city?
"I've really entered the city." Hu Zong swallowed and said with some stuttering: "King, more than a thousand thunderbolt chariots are so terrifying. The Wei army had no power to fight back at all, and was directly defeated.
.”
Hu Zong said, shook his head involuntarily. He himself couldn't believe the scene just now.
Sun Quan took a breath, and after a while, he pushed Hu Zong away and ran out of the big tent. As soon as he came out of the big tent, he saw half of the sky covered with smoke, looked at the Shu Han battle flag flying above the city, and looked at the
The Shu Han soldiers cheering on the city wall were dumbfounded, with cold hands and feet.
This was really surprising. Sun Quan felt his mind blank. He rubbed his eyes several times in succession, but he didn't say anything for a long time.
...
Li Yan, Meng Da was not idle. Li Yan arranged a large army to guard the city. Meng Da was commanding his subordinates in the city like a tide, quickly repelling the Wei army that was coming to fight back, and opened up more
Several city gates, Ma Su, Chen Dao, Deng Zhi and others led a large army into the city.
When the Wei army was dejected by stone bullets, pottery jars and arrows falling from the sky, the Shu Han army was as powerful as a rainbow. Feng Jin, Zhang Wei and others now completely believed Li Yan's words: General Zhennan gave us
As a cover, what enemies can't defeat us? The opportunity to make contributions is placed in front of you. Whether you can seize the opportunity and become famous in one battle depends on your own. So as soon as the city gate is opened, each division will be at the fastest speed.
Kill in and follow the tasks that were deployed in advance, like a tiger going down the mountain, killing the enemy in the target war zone.
Maybe not everyone dares to be famous in a battle, but if you don’t take the opportunity to kill a few more enemies, you’re really sorry for yourself. The order of entering the city is determined, so it depends on who will attack after entering the city.
Faster, whoever advances faster will win more heads.
The generals of the Shu Han army were like wolves and tigers, urging their subordinates to move forward bravely.
Although the ordinary soldiers were not as excited as the generals, everyone could fight with the wind and were willing to fight. The successful breakthrough of Wancheng was beyond everyone's expectations. Inspired by the sudden victory, the generals
Under the encouragement or threat of a variety of ways, every soldier in Shu Han army could not think calmly. They only know how to move forward, move forward, and then move forward.
In the face of the fierce attack of the Shu Han army, the depressed Wei army could not resist it at all. They retreated step by step and soon lost the southern urban area of Wancheng and retreated to the temporary defense line built by Sima Yi.
