When Liu Lan came to this era, whether it was attacking or defending the city, his most urgent desire was undoubtedly the trebuchet, and his destructive power far exceeded that of the now improved bed crossbow. The bed crossbow is killing and killing, while the trebuchet is about destruction, and the city wall is against the soldiers, and obviously there is a big gap between the bed crossbow in this point.

For this reason, Liu Lan has found Ou Yejian, hoping that he can improve the trebuchet, I have to say that Ou Yejian is indeed a famous craftsman, and he has his own unique views on the manufacture of many weapons, but he obviously encountered trouble in the improvement of the trebuchet.

The difficulty is beyond imagination, and even far beyond Liu Lan's belief, I thought it was just to find some craftsmen and carpenters to make improvements on the original basis, which is very similar to the reform of the bed crossbow, but Liu Lan forgot that the improvement of the bed crossbow is built after the improvement of the crossbow arrow, and it is precisely because the craftsmen have rich experience in the crossbow machine that the bed crossbow can be completely improved, and this is more like a process from small to large, from simple to complex and then simplified.

But the trebuchet does not have such an opportunity, because the craftsmen do not have so many opportunities to practice, there is no crossbow machine results and soldiers' repeated development, experience accumulation, but directly on the trebuchet to improve, although this groping process is also constantly accelerating the development of the trebuchet, but unfortunately just when he thought that the trebuchet and the crossbow machine were far ahead of the other princes, the battle of Peixian undoubtedly poured a basin of cold water on him.

Cao Jun's catapult, or more precisely, the early appearance of the thunderbolt car instantly made the situation in Peixian extremely dangerous, including Chen Gong, who was far from expecting that after destroying all of Cao Cao's large-scale siege equipment, dozens of powerful trebuchets suddenly appeared.

The trebuchet made the defenders unable to fight back, and the casualties were simply more than the previous three days of defense combined, and such heavy casualties made Chen Gong unable to sit still any longer.

Hurriedly came to the outer city, but before he could climb the city tower, a boulder fell on the top of the city tower, and the scattered rubble flew in all directions, immediately smashing many guards around him, he was immediately stopped, it was too dangerous on it, although Chen Gong insisted, but in the end he was taken away.

And at this moment, above the city tower, several battlements have already collapsed, several bed crossbows are smashed by boulders and fall apart, as for the defenders who were killed and wounded, it is even more countless, Peixian City Tower, only to hear the screams continue to sound.

If the current situation continues to persist, the outer city of Peixian County will be broken sooner or later, especially in such an unfavorable situation, I am afraid that when the Cao army attacks again, there will not be much resistance above the city tower, and the change of occupation is almost the appearance of trebuchets for half an hour, such a terrifying situation, so that Chen Gong must make some countermeasures, otherwise, he can only watch Peixian be broken through by Cao Jun layer by layer.

Chen Gong, who was stopped, was silent, he called Zhang Fan and asked about the situation of the enemy's trebuchet, although Zhang Fan's observation was very limited, but said that the enemy's trebuchet was larger than the Xuzhou trebuchet, and one of the most important details attracted Chen Gong's attention, the Xuzhou trebuchet has been trying to make it smaller, but the enemy army needs very little manpower for such a huge trebuchet.

In Xuzhou, the trebuchet is not counted as a soldier who carries boulders, but in pulling the trebuchet to launch the boulder, it is twice as manpower as the old-fashioned trebuchet, but this also requires hundreds of people, but in this way, he can only affect the range of only more than 200 meters.

In addition to loading boulders, the soldiers who pulled the trebuchets were only a few dozen, but the range covered was more than 400 meters away, and the fierceness of those boulders after being thrown out was tens of thousands of times stronger than the Xuzhou trebuchet.

This is what surprised Chen Gong the most, the range of the trebuchet is so far, even if he wants to use the bed crossbow to counter, but their bed crossbow is far from reaching the range, although the bed crossbow they have improved is farther than before, it is only from the original two hundred meters to three hundred meters, but the enemy's trebuchet is four hundred meters away, that is to say, the giant arrows fired by the bed crossbow can't even be touched by other people's trebuchets, such a big gap, even if Chen Gong wants to improve it, there is no chance, so to speakIn the current situation, it is impossible for the defenders of Peixian to destroy or even defend against the enemy's trebuchets with any equipment.

It was originally the most powerful defensive point bed crossbow, but now it has become a useless ornament, it was originally the safest outer city wall he envisioned to defend Pei County, but now it has become a weak link to restrain them, and continuing to defend the city means that a trapped beast is locked in a cage, without any threat, and people can hold spears and constantly stab you to the deadly point, while you can only watch as the wounds become more and more wounded, and finally you die of blood.

What kind of genius craftsman can invent such a terrifying trebuchet in such a short period of time, Chen Gong no longer dares to think about it, first of all, these trebuchets can never be transported from the rear, and it is too late to have time, after all, trebuchets are no better than others, bulky and inconvenient to move, even if they add movable wheels to them like Xuzhou trebuchets, but if they want to transport these behemoths from Yanzhou and Yuzhou, even if they are transported from Fengxian, it is impossible.

There is only one possibility, that is, temporary assembly, who can make such a terrifying thing in such a short family, looking at the majestic trebuchet of the enemy, now Chen Gong really regrets it, this is completely a good intention to do a bad thing, maybe he will not destroy Cao Cao's siege equipment, maybe these trebuchets will never be made, but because of the loss of those siege equipment, Cao Cao, who wants to capture Pei County, must listen to some opinions that he ignored before, and it is in this situation, This person was valued by Cao Cao, and the trebuchet was made in less than three days under such circumstances.

In the current situation, there is no longer any possibility to hold Peixian, they have no way to defend against the enemy's trebuchet, they can only watch the city wall be destroyed and the enemy army kill in, but if they send troops now to destroy the trebuchet, will they throw themselves into the net?

Cao Cao is neither stupid nor stupid, in today's situation, he knows how to maximize victory, and he knows how important it is to protect trebuchets, so he will inevitably strengthen the protection of trebuchets now, and even if he lets Xu Sheng attack now, he may not gain anything, or even go back.

If Cao Cao increases the protection of trebuchets, then the safest place for Cao's army now is undoubtedly trebuchets, where will never be Cao's weak point, and now if you want to change the situation of the battle, you must either simply retreat, or you must seek a breakthrough from other directions to find Cao Cao's real weak link.

But this time, he hesitated, because he didn't have any clue in a short period of time, especially under such a powerful siege weapon, it was impossible for anyone to stay calm, and this kind of situation was almost something that Chen Gong had never encountered for so many years.

He has participated in the defense of the city too many times, but there is no doubt that the defending side has an absolute advantage, even if the enemy army is large, but in the siege war, the defender who occupies the right time and place will have a much smaller loss in defense than the besieging side, but the current situation has almost completely subverted his concept.

Not to mention Chen Gong, even if Liu Lan sees it, he will definitely sigh with such emotion, if he has any experience in defending the city, then there are too many battles that can be said, but if it is that battle that is most memorable, it is undoubtedly in Lu Longsai and the Hu people and Liaodong against Gongsun Du.

But every time he defends the city, he has the last laugh, but there is one of the main reasons for this, that is, their crossbow arrows and bed crossbows, in this case, the bulky and no crosshairs trebuchet almost do not play any decisive role, and even has always been a chicken rib in Liu Lan's internal existence, his range is not as far as the bed crossbow, his killing may be very strong, but his unstable operation is a fatal injury, plus because the bed crossbow is cheapened, the operation process is simple, and the number of users is small, Instead of a trebuchet that requires hundreds of people at every turn, they will choose to use a bed crossbow and give up a trebuchet.

This is what surprised Chen Gong the most, the range of the trebuchet is so far, even if he wants to use the bed crossbow to counter, but their bed crossbow is far from reaching the range, although the bed crossbow they have improved is farther than before, it is only from the original two hundred meters to three hundred meters, but the enemy's trebuchet is four hundred meters away, that is to say, the giant arrows fired by the bed crossbow can't even be touched by other people's trebuchets, such a big gap, even if Chen Gong wants to improve it, there is no chance, so to speakIn the current situation, it is impossible for the defenders of Peixian to destroy or even defend against the enemy's trebuchets with any equipment.
