Chapter 347 Zhuge Liang built a car

Xu Shu tiptoed into the cabin door, clasped his fists and bowed to Sun Quan, "Shu meets the lord."

When Sun Quan heard the sound, he turned his head and looked at Xu Shu quietly, without saying a word for a long time.

Xu Shu suddenly felt a little strange. Sun Quan, who was only young and weak, seemed to have become another person overnight. With Xu Shu's wisdom and vision, he could no longer understand what Sun Quan thoughts. Now Sun Quan is like a prince who has been in power for many years, with his every move that is unfathomable and heart-pounding.

Under Sun Quan's oppressive eyes, Xu Shu instinctively looked away.

A hint of coldness suddenly broke out on the corner of Sun Quan's mouth and asked Xu Shu: "Yuanzhi, is the Battle of Huainan really over like this?"

Xu Shu lowered his head and replied, "Lord, what did he say about the Grand Governor?"

Sun Quan said coldly: "I am asking you now!"

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Shu gritted his teeth and said, "Lord, the battle in Huainan is not actually over."

"Huh..." Sun Quan breathed a long sigh of relief, a hint of relief finally flashed through his eyes, and nodded, "Yuan Zhi, Gu knew that you would tell the truth. You and the Grand Governor could not have expected that the Liang army would see through our army's flooding plan. Our army would not hesitate to compensate Huainan for the fertile land, sacrifice more than 4 million people in Huainan, and Gu would even bear the infamy of thousands of years. Our Eastern Wu paid such a heavy price, how could we not have any gains?"

"Gu believes that the Battle of Huainan will never end here, never!" Sun Quan said this, his tone suddenly became low, and then said, "The Grand Governor does not want this battle to continue. Gu believes that there must be his reason, but Gu knows more clearly that Yuan Zhi, you... are always standing on Gu's side! Yuan Zhi, you did not disappoint Gu."

Xu Shu was sweating profusely and said in a panic: "Lord, please understand."

"Okay, get up." Sun Quan did not come forward to support Xu Shu, but said calmly, "Now, tell me, how should the battle in Huainan continue?"

Xu Shu sighed in his heart, stood up and said to Sun Quan, "Lord, the Grand Governor of Xiahe has indeed expected that the flooding plan will not work, and he also thought of the follow-up action plan. However,... this plan is too harmful to the heavens and is inhumane. The Grand Governor is unwilling to let the battlefield continue, which is actually not unreasonable..."

"Enough." Sun Quan said coldly, "I just want to know, how should this battle continue?"

A hint of helplessness rose on Xu Shu's face and replied: "The navy launched an endless harassment of Huainan to block the disaster relief plan of the Xiliang army, forcing millions of victims in Huainan to die in a large number of hunger. Millions of corpses were exposed to the wilderness of the wilderness. In the hot and vicious sunshine of midsummer, it was enough to induce an unprecedented plague. Moreover, this plague will spread to the Central Plains, Xuzhou, Sizhou, Hebei, and even Guanzhong, Liangzhou and other places with the migration of the victims to the north. Our army will be able to make nine out of ten houses under the control of the horse butcher without any effort, and our vitality will be greatly damaged!"

"It's actually like this?" Sun Quan said in a shocked look, "I understand, it turns out to be a plague! Isn't this the magic plan that Ma Butcher relied on to defeat the Kanto Alliance in the Battle of Hangu Pass back then? If Jia Moi hadn't used this plague poison plan, I'm afraid that Ma Butcher's power would have been uprooted by the thirty-six Kanto Alliance. How could Ma Butcher have the power today?"

Xu Shu said: "Lord, this plan is a big harm to the harmony of heaven, it is really inappropriate!"

"I know what I know in my heart." Sun Quan said to Xu Shu without comment, "Yuan Zhi, you go back first."

Xu Shu still wanted to persuade him again, but when he saw Sun Quan's gloomy face, he swallowed the words he had to his mouth and then whispered back to Sun Quan, then silently bowed to Sun Quan, turned around and retreated. When Xu Shu's figure left, Sun Quan sighed, turned his head to look at the dim night sky outside the window, and murmured: "Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu, Gu trusts you so much, you really shouldn't have reservations about Gu, really shouldn't..."

Ten miles east of Yong'an City, Cao Cao's army.

Wei Yan rode his horse to Cao Cao and said dejectedly: "Lord, Yong'an's defense is very tight, and he will not be able to get in at all."

"Oh?" Cao Cao looked back at Zhuge Liang, frowned and said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect that Zhang Xiu was so cautious. With the natural danger of Yufupu blocking it in front, the defense of Yong'an City was still so tight? Alas, the prefects of all counties under the command of Ma Butcher must all look like Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren, so no one has to compete with him for the world."

Zhuge Liang hurriedly said, "Lord, don't be discouraged. Liang has a plan to go to Yong'an."

Cao Cao said, "Will the plan be released?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Does your lord still remember what the guide said?"

Cao Cao said, "What do you mean?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Although the wall of Yong'an City is high but not thick, it is a rammed city wall. There is no brick and stone reinforcement on both sides of the city. What is more favorable is that there is no moat outside the city, so our army can easily reach the city wall. Liang has a plan to crash the Yong'an city wall."

Cao Cao asked anxiously: "What is rushing for a car?"

Zhuge Liang said: "The so-called rushing car is actually a simple truck made of wooden nails. It uses thick wooden boards to protect the top and side walls. The outer layer is wrapped in cowhide. Its strength is enough to resist the impact of ordinary rolling wood and rocks. It can also prevent fire. The front wall is fixed with sharp hammers, and holes are opened on both sides. When the hammers hit the city wall, water is wetted in the holes, which can accelerate the collapse of the city wall."

Cao Cao said: "The rushing car must be extremely bulky, how to drive it?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Wheels can be installed at the bottom of the rushing car, and soldiers can hide them in the car to push forward."

Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he said happily: "This is a good idea. If you want to talk about wheels, the wooden oxue Liu immediately has wheels. Good, Kong Ming can quickly build two hundred such chariots, and then hit the Yong'an city wall day and night!"

Zhuge Liang happily clasped his fists and said, "Liang received the order."

Three days later, at the top of Yong'an City.

When dozens of bulky "strange cars" quickly approached the city wall with a harsh grunt, Zhang Xiu was completely stunned.

While strictly ordering the soldiers not to act rashly, Zhang Xiu asked Zhang Song: "Mr. Zhang, what the hell is this?"

Zhang Song shook his head and pondered for a long time, and finally said, "I have never seen you before."

"boom!"

As Zhang Song finished speaking, these "strange cars" had already hit the city wall heavily, and dozens of rushing cars hit the city wall one after another. The momentum was terrifying, and almost even the entire city wall began to shake violently. Zhang Song was caught off guard and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Zhang Xiu was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and held it in a hurry. Zhang Song stabilized his body, quickly reached out to straighten the Eagle crown on his head, and then gave Zhang Xiu an embarrassing smile.

"Thank you, General."

Zhang Xiu smiled and poked his head out of the enemy building and looked down. He saw that there was already a piece of smoke and dust rising from the foot of the city wall.

In the thin smoke and dust, the "strange cars" first retreated a few steps, and then hit the city wall fiercely. After repeated this several times, Zhang Xiu finally saw some tricks.

"It's broken!" Zhang Xiu shouted in anger, "Cao Jun wants to collapse the city wall!"

"What! Crashing the city wall?" Zhang Song said in surprise, "Is Cao Cao crazy? Although the walls of Yong'an City are not too thick, they are about four feet long. There are only a few hundred broken cars. I'm afraid they should be broken before they can penetrate the city wall. Besides, it's going to be hit by the fierce monkey year and horse month? Could it be that Cao Cao was defeated too much and was hurt by his brain, right?"

"No!" Zhang Xiu said sternly, "Sir, just by this time, the city wall has collapsed so much. At this speed, I am afraid that the city wall will be knocked through in ten days, and Cao's army will be able to penetrate the wall at that time!"

"Is this happening?" Zhang Song was shocked, and hurriedly poked his head out of the enemy's building and said in a voice, "Let me take a look."

When Zhang Song looked at it, he saw that the dozens of "strange cars" had left obvious dents on the city wall under continuous impact, and there were obvious traces of wet with water on the dent. Zhang Song took a breath of air conditioning and said in a lost voice: "What a cunning Cao Cao, he actually wet the city wall with water first and then hit him again. It was indeed amazing."

"The whole army obeys the order!" Zhang Ren pulled his sword, raised it high above the head and shouted, "Rolling stones and wood to serve, smashing these ghosts and things everywhere!"

The Xiliang defenders on the city wall responded to the promise and raised the prepared wooden rocks and smashed them into the strange cars at the foot of the city wall. With the continuous impact, the wooden rocks and rocks that fell like rain hit the group of strange cars. At this time, the most unexpected thing happened to Zhang Xiu, Zhang Song and all the Liang army soldiers. The group of strange cars under the city wall were completely unscathed.

"Damn it." Deputy General Zhang Xian shouted, "This ghost thing is quite strong, and the wooden rock cannot be smashed!"

"Go and bring the two stone lions in front of the government office!" Zhang Xiu said angrily, "I don't believe it will not be smashed!"

Deputy General Zhang Xian took the order and left. Two hours later, Zhang Xian led dozens of strong soldiers to carry two stone lions weighing thousands of pounds to the top of the city with the "thirty-two-carrying sedan". Zhang Xiu ordered the soldiers to push a stone lion to the female wall and push down a strange car from Cao's army. With a loud bang, the strange car was smashed to pieces in an instant, and the wreckage was also smashed deeply into the ground.

"good!"

The Liang army soldiers on the city wall applauded.
