Chapter 142: The Ability of a Witches
Yuan Fang looked back and saw Zhuge Liang standing at the door with excitement on his face, holding a scroll in his hand.
Originally, when everyone heard someone saying that they could break through the ground, they were all excited. When they turned their heads and saw that it was Zhuge Liang, they turned their heads back in disappointment.
"Little brat, adults are discussing matters here. Don't mess around, just play." Yan Liang said angrily.
Zhuge Liang pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "You are just messing around. I said I have a way to break the old thief Yuan Shao."
As he said that, Zhuge Liang walked in with great confidence.
"Oh, you little brat is quite a tone. There is nothing you can do with a sting like Guo Fengxiao. What can you do with a little brat?" Yan Liang stared at him and said sarcastically.
Guo Jia flattered his mouth and complained: "Who is the savage? I said Zizheng, are you praising me or scolding me?"
"Of course I'm praising you." Yan Liang smiled silly and scratched his head.
"No one is so praising people. You are obviously scolding me." Guo Jia said unhappy.
The two of them were bored and even started to fight and left Zhuge Liang aside.
Zhuge Liang was so upset that he was ignored and unbelieved. He looked indignant.
Yuan Fang looked at his apprentice, but suddenly his heart lit up. He seemed to remember something, and said seriously: "Aliang, there is no joke in the army. You said that you can break Yuan Shao's Tushan, I won't be just because you are my apprentice.
Just tolerate you talking nonsense.”
Zhuge Liang immediately straightened his back and said seriously: "Master's military discipline is as good as a mountain, of course I know. How dare I speak nonsense?"
Yuan Fang nodded: "Okay, since you say you have a solution, let me tell you about it for you to learn more."
As soon as Yuan Fang spoke, Yan Liang and others immediately calmed down. Although they didn't believe Zhuge Liang had any tricks, they didn't dare to interrupt. They just looked at their lord's apprentice with suspicion on their faces. What tricks could they have?
Zhuge Liang walked up and shouted: "Yuan Shao's earth mountain is strong and cannot be broken by arrows alone. To break the earth mountain, you must use a stone catapult."
“Haha~~”
As soon as Zhuge Liang said that, Yan Liang couldn't help but smile and grinned, "I think what's the way it was? It was originally a trencher. I said, "Little Zhuge." You don't know that we tried to build a trencher the day before yesterday. But I gave it to you.
The enemy's arrow rain on the earthen mountain is so pressing that it can't be pressed at all?"
Everyone shook their heads and smiled, feeling that Zhuge Liang had no clever plan at all. But a child wanted to show himself and find a sense of existence in front of adults.
However, Yuan Fang did not despise Zhuge Liang as much as others, but instead encouraged him: "Aliang, you probably haven't finished talking yet, continue talking."
As soon as he spoke, Yan Liang's laughter stopped abruptly and he quickly went back.
Zhuge Liang stuck out his tongue at Yan Liang and made a face, but then he spread the scroll in his hand, stood on tiptoe, and hung it on the map frame on the side of the tent with difficulty.
Yuan Fang and everyone looked at the scroll and saw a mechanical look on it. At first glance, it looked like a stone trencher.
After a breath, Zhuge Liang pointed to the unfolded pattern and said confidently: "If you want to destroy the old thief's earthen mountain, you must use a catapult. Of course, an ordinary fixed catapult is not possible. You must use a mobile catapult made by my Zhuge family.
.”
As he said that, Zhuge Liang pointed his finger below the mechanical pattern.
"Mobile catapult? Interesting..." Yuan Fang touched his chin with his fingers and looked at the pattern with interest.
Soon, Yuan Fang understood that what was drawn in the picture was actually a production diagram of a catapult.
The difference is that Zhuge Liang's trencher has four more wheels under the ordinary trencher and becomes a movable trencher.
"Isn't it just that there are four more wheels? What's so strange?" Yan Liang also understood, but murmured to himself a little disapproving.
Yuan Fang stared for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up and he burst into excitement.
Zhuge Liang's catapult is really a powerful tool to break Yuan Shao's Tushan!
The disadvantage of ordinary catapults is that they must be temporarily built in front of the formation. On the earthen mountain, the enemy arrows are like rain, which makes the catapults unable to be built and cannot be defeated.
Now with this mobile catapult, Yuan Fang can first create it outside the range of the enemy's arrows, and then use a cattle and horse to directly pull it to the formation to launch a bombardment on the enemy's earthen mountain, so that the enemy can't stop it!
"Wonderful, A Liang, you have made great contributions this time!" Yuan Fang was very surprised and slapped Zhuge Liang on the back of the head with excitement.
Unexpectedly, he was too excited and slapped Zhuge Liang's small body forward and almost fell down.
"Master, it hurts." Zhuge Liang, who barely stood firm, patted the back of his head and complained, but his little face couldn't help but feel proud.
Yuan Fang laughed and immediately ordered all the craftsmen from the plain to be transferred to make this mobile trencher at night in the back camp far away from the enemy Tushan.
Yan Liang looked confused and wondered: "Lord, isn't this catapult only a few wheels? What's so strange about it? Do you really plan to use it to defeat the enemy?"
Yan Liang was not smart enough and had not yet seen through the wonderful things.
"Zizheng, don't underestimate those wheels. Let's break Yuan Shao's Tushan and point to these wheels." Guo Jia smiled and pulled out the advantages of this mobile catapult.
Yan Liang then suddenly realized and patted his forehead and said in surprise: "So that's the case. Why didn't I expect it? With this wheel, we are not afraid of the destruction of the old thief Yuan. It's so wonderful."
Yan Liang understood, and the other generals also understood and were all excited.
Yuan Fang patted Yan Liang and smiled, "Zizheng, do you still dare to underestimate my little apprentice now?"
"I dare not, don't dare, think I dare." Yan Liang shook his head repeatedly, but turned his gaze to Zhuge Liang who was proud, and raised his thumb and said, "I didn't expect that you are really good at being a lord's apprentice. I, old Yan,
I really underestimate you."
"You are the little brat, hum." Zhuge Liang raised his nose and looked proud.
Yan Liang didn't mind, but laughed.
Yuan Fang remembered something, so he summoned Zhuge Liang to the ground and said curiously: "A Liang, did you figure out this mobile trencher yourself?"
Zhuge Liang approached Yuan Fang, looked mysterious and whispered: "Actually not all. My ancestors of Zhuge family had a job test order, so there are many pictures of weapons produced in my family. I like to read them in my spare time.
The mobile trencher is what I improved based on a picture I passed down from my ancestors.”
After hearing his explanation, Yuan Fang finally understood.
The founding of the founding of the Shaofu, which is also considered an official position of 600 stones. It is an official position specializing in weapons supervision by the Han court. The ancestors of the Zhuge family had found the founding of the founding of the founding of the founding of the founding of the founding of the founding of the founding of the founding of the weapon, which is not surprising.
Yuan Fang knew that Zhuge Liang in history was very good at invention and creation, but now it seems that it is inseparable from Zhuge Liang's family tradition.
"Master, I only told you this. Don't tell others about it, especially that guy Yan Liang." Zhuge Liang asked in a low voice.
"Why?" Yuan Fangyiqi.
Zhuge Liang showed a little embarrassed face, and he only scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly, but did not answer.
Yuan Fang immediately understood that he was afraid that Yan Liang would learn that his catapult was derived from his ancestors, not his own creation, and he would take the opportunity to laugh at him.
"You kid, you want face very much. OK, I promise not to say it." Yuan Fang shook his head and smiled, touched his little head and said.
Zhuge Liang felt relieved and immediately became confident and no longer restrained. He talked about military strategy with everyone.
And because he presented this powerful weapon to break the ground, everyone looked at him with admiration, no longer treated him as a little brat, and began to listen to his opinions seriously.
For seven days, Yuan Fang stopped moving and kept making a mobile catapult in secret.
During these seven days, the soldiers stationed on the front line of the wall were suffering. They could only cats under the shield, shrinking their heads and bodies, and avoiding the cold arrows falling from the sky by the enemy. They didn't even dare to even heads
Show it.
The Jizhou army on the earthen mountain was so proud that they shot arrows at the Qingzhou army as they wished.
Looking at the Qingzhou soldiers huddled under the shield, they were proud and mocked and scolded each other from time to time. Some even untied their pants on the arrow tower and peed down, using this vulgar behavior to humiliate the Qingzhou soldiers.
.
All the soldiers of the army were indignant. Many generals asked several generals to fight repeatedly, asking Yuan Fang to allow them to attack and fight to the death with the enemies who humiliated them.
However, Yuan Fang suppressed their request for battle, strictly guarded the troops and did not order them and would never go out to fight easily.
The enemy's earthen mountain has been established. Now he sends troops to attack, just to serve as a living saddle for the enemy. Yuan Fang would not ruin the lives of his precious soldiers so in vain.
Because his comprehensive strength is far weaker than Yuan Shao.
Jizhou is the richest state in the world and has the largest population. The number of Dingkous on the list is several times that of Qingzhou.
Yuan Shao lost ten thousand troops and might be able to recruit them again within a few months. If Yuan Fang lost ten thousand troops, he would only be afraid that he would take a year or two to get them all together.
For Yuan Shao, who was rich and powerful and had many soldiers, Yuan Fang attached great importance to the lives of every soldier and would never let them make unnecessary sacrifices.
The soldiers had no choice but to suppress their anger and continue to endure the suppression and humiliation of the Jizhou army.
However, their forbearance was finally terminated by Yuan Fang on the eighth day.
Early that morning, Yuan Fang put on his horse and with a command, the gate of the rear camp was open. With the sound of squeaking wheels, nearly a hundred mobile trellis quickly entered the camp under the drag of mules and horses.
.
This is a powerful weapon created by Yuan Fang in seven days to gather all the craftsmen in the plains to break the enemy.
After enduring for many days, Yuan Fang was also full of anger. Now, it was finally time to pour out all his anger.
Yuan Fang vomited blood in his eyes, pointed to the west of the skull stick, and shouted sternly: "Brothers, drag the catapult to the wall and bombard the enemies raised by the bitch to death!"
