Chapter 573: The stunned Xu Shu and Pang Tong

Chapter 573: The stunned Xu Shu, Pang Tong (second update)

Although the quantity is large, it was quickly unloaded under the transport of thousands of people including Ganning. In the middle, there were also military officers from the battalion leading countless large carts.

Consigning these catapults and well trucks. In addition to catapults, Ganning also brought countless stones. How many stones can a thousand catapults consume?

It is not calculated. But it is too late to mine temporarily on the battlefield. Therefore, while building the catapult cart, Kou Feng also mined these stones.

As a shell in siege battle, countless shells.

In almost half a day, countless carts transported these things back to the camp.

After returning to the camp, Kou Feng summoned Pang Tong and Xu Shu who were stationed in Xicheng and Dongcheng respectively to the open space a distance from the camp.

When Pang Tong and Xu Shu arrived, they were confused. The camp had just been built for a while, and they still needed to complete various precautions slowly.

At this critical moment, Kou Feng summoned them over, which was really puzzling.

But soon, Pang Tong and Xu Shu were attracted by the scene in front of them. A catapult cart. For catapult carts, this catapult cart was something the two had never seen before.

But the two recognized each other at a glance.

Even the most famous Pili cart is very small and has little use. It is also easy to damage during transportation and is quite expensive.

Therefore, except for very large-scale siege battles, such as the war between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, it is generally rarely used.

But the catapult car in front of the two is very tall, but it does not give people a clumsy feeling, but instead seems to be very flexible.

The bigger this thing is, the farther it can throw the stone away. Such a big size immediately made the two of them feel a sense of expectation.

In addition to the catapult cart, there are also sections of things that are not known for what they are used for, and there is also a car made of eight wheels and steel.

It seems to be prepared to transport things that are extremely heavy.

The well truck was not invented by Kou Feng, and this era has long been used on the battlefield. However, ordinary well trucks are built slowly by craftsmen like building houses.

It is usually several meters high. Because if it is higher, the wheels below may not be able to withstand it. Although something that is only a few meters high poses a threat to ordinary city walls, it does not have much threat.

It is useless for a city wall that is more than ten feet high. In addition, the transportation is bulky and requires a lot of manpower and material resources to transport it.

Anyway, it is also a kind of siege equipment used on a very small scale. This well truck is not unfamiliar to military advisors Pang Tong and Xu Shu.

But they really don't recognize the one in front of them.

At least the two of them would not recognize them when the installation was not completed.

"Lord, what's special about this car?" Xu Shu, Pang Tong and the others quickly withdrew their gaze from the strange well car, turned their heads to look at Kou Feng, and Xu Shu asked even more.

"How far is the range of the Thunder Car?" Kou Feng asked back.

"It's about one hundred meters. It's too close to the city wall and it's easy to be destroyed." Xu Shu replied.

"My car can shoot out 200 meters. There are a thousand." Kou Feng said with a smile.

"One thousand aircraft? Two hundred meters?" Xu Shu and Pang Tong were both surprised. They were both in charge of military power and did not know much about logistics and supplies. Of course, they didn't know how Kou Feng developed such a catapult. But the number was too amazing.

There are actually a thousand.

Obviously, Kou Feng had already expected such an embarrassing and time-consuming thing to encounter in siege. Not only did he develop such a catapult with extremely long range, but he also prepared a total of 1,000.

"This stone." Pang Tong said in confusion. Stones are another weakness of catapults. On the battlefield, stones cannot be found for catapults anytime and anywhere.

Even if it is mined in advance, it is even more troublesome to transport it. Besides, the manpower and material resources required to mine stones may be more expensive than building a catapult cart itself.

Pang Tong talked about common sense, but he underestimated Kou Feng's wealth and ambition. Kou Feng emptied Jiangling City back then. Although he used most of the time over the years, the rest was still very rich.

Kou Feng smiled and said, "It was mined in the south as early as the south. Gan Ning used hundreds of ships to transport it. Now they are all in the camp. When the catapult cart is transported, they will transport the stones together."

"How much gold and silver does the stones of hundreds of large ships cost?" Even Pang Tong was shocked.

"Not much, plus the catapult car and the well car, it will cost 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. Compared with Xiangyang City, compared with Chen Bing and Xu Du's goal, this price is really too small." Kou Feng replied with a smile.

This time, even Xu Shu felt a little painful.

In order to conquer Xiangyang City and achieve the goal of Chen Bing Xu Du, his disciple spent a total of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan to equip these catapults and wells.

These golds can form an army of tens of thousands.

Xu Shu and Pang Tong were both in pain. But in Kou Feng's eyes, they were all worth it. In Kou Feng's eyes, nothing is more important than the lives of soldiers.

The more people die, the fewer people will die, but gold will still grow.

With the expansion of territory, tax revenue and other factors will grow steadily. Liu Biao saved tens of thousands of gold with Jingzhou.

Of course Kou Feng can do it too.

On the contrary, if people are gone, there will be no taxes. Tens of thousands of troops or spending 10,000 or 20,000 gold, these two methods will conquer Xiangyang.

Kou Feng chose to use gold.

Therefore, Kou Feng’s 20,000 flowers were very refreshing.

"By the way, lord said it was a well car?" When Xu Shu slowly recovered from the pain in his heart, he suddenly realized a problem and asked.

Well car. Pang Tong also came back to his senses and looked around with Xu Shu. Where is the well car here?

"Yes, twenty feet tall." Kou Feng said with a little enthusiasm. In this era, whether it is a catapult or a well truck, they were installed at the beginning.

Who would have thought that it could be disassembled or installed?

It will be very troublesome to transport it in that way and easily damaged. Especially the well truck, a stupid guy who is several meters tall. He also wants him to run hundreds of miles to attack the enemy's heavy city? Save it.

But in Kou Feng's opinion, this is not a problem. These things can be transported in parts. Especially on the southeast side, the water system is well developed.

The Great Chu, which Kou Feng, was a water overlord who was overwhelmed by Jiangdong. As long as there was a ship, it could be transported from the south to the north and sent from the north to the south.

As he said that, Kou Feng asked the craftsmen who had already prepared nearby to start loading the well truck. It was actually very simple to load.

It's just one section after another, pieced together.

Just like a tall building on the flat ground, the huge iron cart with eight wheels at the bottom. Then there are sections on top, presenting square things.

At the top is a huge platform where dozens of archers can stand. In addition, there are ladders that can provide up and down.

And the most dazzling thing is that this well truck is twenty feet high, several feet taller than Xiangyang City. As long as more than ten well trucks are pieced together, Xiangyang City can be suppressed at a height.

From top to bottom, shoot the opponent's soldiers.

Under the stunned eyes of Xu Shu and Pang Tong, the parts that seemed useless were under the nervous craftsmen.

Kou Feng even used the suggested pulleys to piece together the well trucks from one section after another. Soon, most of the well trucks were completed. At this time.

Kou Feng ordered the craftsmen to stop pieced together.

This thing is now confidential, at least it must be kept confidential to Yu Jin and others in Xiangyang City. Once the well truck, which is twenty meters high, is pieced together.

Then it can be observed from afar in Xiangyang. There will be no unexpected effect at that time.

"How is it?" After ordering the craftsmen to stop, Kou Feng turned his head and asked Xu Shu with a smile on his face at Pang Tong, who was still shocked.

"It is enough to hand over tens of thousands of troops in the battle of siege." Xu Shu exclaimed sincerely.

"If nothing unexpected happens, half a month can be enough to capture Xiangyang." Pang Tong was not stingy and praised.

Until now, the two are still shocked by this wonderful idea. Who would have thought that this tall and bulky well truck could be installed anywhere.

And so simple.

In just a little time, a well truck as high as twenty feet will be completed.

The city wall is like a dwarf in front of it. It's a pity that it still has some weaknesses. It's better to use it in Xiangyang, but if it's used in Xudu's city with extremely strong defense, cavalry, and some huge defensive equipment, it's not that perfect.

Both of them knew the traditional weakness of the Jingche, so they quickly felt regretful. However, Xiangyang cannot defend against this weapon at present.

When the two thought of breaking Youyu Jin within half a month, Gao Lan and Zhou Yu led an army of 20,000 to 30,000, Xiangyang, which was known as a strong city, were not feeling a little excited.

Half a month.

At that time, Zhou Yu, Liu Bei and Xu Huang were almost in this situation. Moreover, at that time, Xu Huang was defeated and led the remaining soldiers.

But the Length-shaped Jiangling City resisted Zhou Yu and Liu Bei for several months with the height of Jiangling City. Now they only need half a month.

The value of this 20,000 gold is worth.

It was not until this time that the two of them let go of the pain in their hearts and praised Kou Feng's big move.

"I will order people to send these two things and craftsmen to your camp. When the city is attacked in two days, then assemble them. The rest depends on the two generals." Finally, Kou Feng smiled at Xu Shu and Pang Tong.

"Don't worry, lord, we will definitely live up to expectations." Xu Shu and Pang Tong looked at each other, bowing to Kou Feng, and said solemnly.

"Hahaha." Kou Feng laughed.

Immediately, Kou Feng began to arrange the transport of stone casting cars, well trucks, and stones to Pang Tong and Xu Shu's camps. In particular, there were countless stones.

These strange actions that happened in Kou Feng's camp were also heard by Yu Jin's spies, and were returned to Yu Jin in the city.
