Chapter 435: Give Me Aim Again!
Historically, after Dong Zhuo was ambushed, Situ Wang Yun was in power. Although Wang Situ's talents are limited, and he does not know how to be compassionate, he indiscriminately kills the evils, but the stormy Han Dynasty has a short respite after all.
Under the initial decision of the chaos, the Kanto Zhuxiong who rose up because of Dong Zhuo also lost their spearhead for a while, and they didn't know what to refer to, and entered the stage of Taoguang and obscurity. Although this chapter of Chinese history will be a little dull, it is a great blessing for the country and the people. However, Wang Yun, who was extremely stubborn, in an attitude of never tolerating, actually issued a hunt and kill order to Dong Zhuo's subordinates Li Dao and Guo Yan.
This is a bit of a rebellion. Coincidentally, at that time, Niu Fu raised troops to avenge Dong Zhuo and was defeated by Lu Bu. made Li Dao and Guo Yan also want to accept their fate, they decided to disband the troops, and then fled to the northwest separately. If this is the case, although Wang Yun is extremely unwise, he has not sown evil consequences after all, and the Eastern Han Dynasty regime can be extended for some time for the time being.
But the 'ghost fox' Jia Xu in history was single-handed, blocking the road, "Two, what's the hurry?" Li Dao and Guo Yan have always respected Jia Xu, so they listened attentively.
"Wang Yun is about to arrest you, if you disband the troops, any small pavilion chief on the road will have the ability to tie you up and send them to Wang Situ for merit. Hengzhu is a death, why not gather the army first, and simply go to Chang'an to avenge Dong Zhuo. If it is a fluke, it will coerce the Son of Heaven to order the world, how majestic; If that doesn't work out, it's not too late to flee to the northwest homeland. This enlightenment full of hooligan wisdom, Li Dao and Guo Yan couldn't help but nod their heads.
Jia Xu was not so much persuasion at this time as instigation. As a result, although the lives of Li Dao and Guo Yan were temporarily saved, the lives of the Han Dynasty were even weaker, and they were dying. Following Jia Xu's enlightenment, bandit logic such as 'killing one is enough, killing two to earn one' is inevitable.
The head of Chang'an, the capital of the Eastern Han Empire, became dark in an instant. With the counterattack of Li Dao and Guo Yan, the Eastern Han Dynasty never took a breath again.
And this incident is the most famous 'Wen and Chaowu' in the history of the Three Kingdoms. With one person shaking his tongue that is not rotten, he used the trick of striking the east and the west, and annihilated the Han Dynasty that stood in the history of the Common Era. Such a major event that changed color was lifted by Jia Xu to unveil the curtain of the strategists' chaos and prosperity.
And what Ma Chao is doing today is to think of a person's ingenuity to reproduce the trajectory of history. On the same day, when everyone was discussing the rescue of Cai Yong in Fufeng, Ma Chao had a flash of inspiration and thought of this matter. Therefore, there is such a factor in this dispatch of troops, and Jia Xu said that the gain and loss of interests is a five-fifty number. Because, the role and influence of Cai Yong really can't withstand such an evaluation by a cautious and scheming person like Jia Xu.
Now, after half of this strategy of killing two birds with one stone, Ma Chao will follow the strategy left by Jia Xu that day and concentrate on dealing with Chang'an. As a result, at dawn today, the county soldiers at the head of Chang'an City found that the Ma family army had actually begun to attack the city!
The first to appear was not the main Xiliang iron horse in the Ma family, but Xu Huang's heavy armored iron horse. And when the more than 3,600 metal monsters under Xu Huang's command appeared on the battlefield with the dull sound of horses' hooves, the county soldiers defending the city let out bursts of inhaling sounds.
Even Wang Yun, who was above the city, couldn't help but change his face a little, and his body was shaky: before, when the Ma family's heavily armored iron cavalry had never left the camp. He only had a rough look, but at this time, when this group of monsters stood in the wind with a cold light of metal, Wang Yun felt as if he had seen the impermanence of life from hell.
"Heavy armor and iron horses? Ma Chao wants to use this army as the vanguard of the siege? Huang Wan said in a trembling voice, and his arms that were tightly propped up on the head of the city had begun to tremble.
"Impossible."
Looking back, everyone saw that it was Xun You who spoke. When everyone focused their eyes on Xun You, Xun Youfu said again: "General Huang, let the county soldiers hide behind the battlements." Ma Chao should just be a demonstration this time......"
"Demonstrations?" Huang Wan was a little unconvinced, but Wang Yun had already opened his mouth and ordered: "Listen to the order!" Duck behind the battlements! ”
"Lord Situ? This ......" A trace of jealousy flashed on Huang Wan's face, but then he was suppressed by Wang Yun's angry roar: "Take a good look, the heavy armored iron horse is not a charge formation at all!" ”
When everyone heard this, they looked down at the city, and sure enough, they saw Xu Huang commanding the heavily armored iron cavalry to put out a crane wing array, obviously protecting the siege equipment that the Ma family was about to appear. It's just that the Crane Wing Array is five hundred steps away from the Vermilion Bird Gate, and even the Mountain-Destroying Crossbow of the Vermilion Bird Gate can't be shot.
"Gongda, among the Ma family's army, can there be a sharp weapon with a shooting distance of 500 steps?" Wang Yunren is old and refined, since he can see the strangeness of this distance, he can naturally think of Ma Chao's follow-up.
"The subordinates vaguely learned that when the Ma Jiajun attacked the four counties of Guangwei, Anding, Tianshui, and Longxi, they had launched a powerful bed crossbow that could fire a distance of 500 steps. However, at this moment, Weichen felt that Ma Chao would not use such a sharp weapon. Xun You frowned and thought for a moment before he spoke: "Lord Situ, it's better to go down to the city to avoid it." If Weichen's guess is correct, Ma Chao should use a more lethal device to shock Chang'an. ”
"A certain is the minister of the Han Dynasty, the soul of the county soldiers, how can you speak lightly ......." Before the words fell, Wang Yun was stunned like a duck pinched by his throat. Because at this time, everyone has seen the siege equipment that slowly appeared among the Ma family's army!
"That's ...... That's a trebuchet? Zheng Tai was surprised, looking at the slowly advancing trebuchet under the city wall, and his eyes couldn't help but show horror. And then looking at Wang Yun's eyes, there was also a hint of pleading: Lord Situ, let's go down to the city to hide......
Wang Yun didn't have the heart to pay attention to Zheng Tai's eyes at this time, and his attention at this time was already full of shock by the trebuchet of the Ma family: I saw that the twenty trebuchets were fundamentally different from the ordinary trebuchets of the Han Dynasty to attack the city, their shape was huge, and it required thirty or forty people to push them forward, and in front, there were six mules and horses pulling them.
What is particularly conspicuous is that in addition to the sturdy and heavy rectangular frame, an upright catapult rod, and two sturdy pillars with beams on top, the trebuchet of the Ma family also has a large and tightly stretched horizontal noose, and the ropes in the noose are tied to the ends of the rectangular frame, just below the support frame.
Wang Yun didn't think of the usefulness of the different noose at this time, but when he saw that Ma Jiajun's firing soldiers were actually six people working together to twist the noose, Wang Yun's voice became sharp and frightened: "Hurry up and dodge!" ”
As soon as the words fell, twenty black dots gradually turned into stones the size of a millstone in the air, covering the eyes of the Suzaku Gate soldiers. The aura of death in the shadows roared in, giving people no time to react!
'Bang... Boom... Bang ......' Several successive thunder-like sounds resounded in the sky, and in the midst of the flying rocks, Wang Yun felt that his heart and liver trembled a little, and asked the surrounding ministers with a disgraced face: "Is my life still alive?" ”
On the city wall, Ma Chao, who was sitting leisurely on Xiao Hei's back, shook his head extremely windingly, and said regretfully: "No...... There were actually two empty guns? Come on, give me some more aiming! ”
