Chapter 943: Transforming the Thunderbolt
"My lord, what I am responsible for is the creation of immortal love, divine glass and other things." Cheng Tie's face was ashamed, the war started, but he couldn't do anything for the state army, which made him feel a little ashamed.
Lu Bu stepped forward and patted Cheng Tie lightly on the shoulder and said, "You just need to make these things with all your might, before the war starts, Benhou will first make the merchants under the rule of the princes crazy." ”
"Whoa." Cheng Tie solemnly hugged his fists.
The arrival of Lu Bu, so that the atmosphere in the craftsman's workshop is much more dignified than before, under the instruction of Lu Bu, the following craftsmen also got the scene that Bingzhou will face the siege of the princes, behind such news, it is the madness of the craftsmen, most of them are from poor people, understand that the current life is not easy to come by, not the army guarding the state, everything in front of them will be lost.
There may be spies of the princes among the craftsmen, but at least more than ninety percent of the craftsmen in the craftsman's workshop are interested in merging the state, and they have already closely combined their fate with the state.
The next day, Zeng Di's eyes were red and he asked to see him.
After Lu Bu learned that the Thunderbolt was completed, he was overjoyed, and under the leadership of Zeng Di, he watched the power of the Thunderbolt.
But seeing a boulder weighing forty pounds was thrown onto the earthen wall of five hundred steps, the earthen wall could not withstand the huge force, and collapsed directly, Dian Wei on the side was dumbfounded, if he could cope with the boulder ejected by the thunderbolt car built by the craftsman's workshop before, in the face of this boulder weighing forty catties, even he had to dodge, and looking at the posture of the thunderbolt, it was clear that it still had enough power at a distance of five hundred steps.
"Okay, with the help of this sharp weapon, if the princes want to break through the pot pass, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky." Lu Bu laughed.
It's just that the volume of this kind of thunderbolt is too large, which makes Lu Bu a little worried, although the Huguan is not small, the number of soldiers defending in front is about three thousand, if such a thunderbolt is placed on the city wall, it is easy to make it difficult for the defenders to effectively perform, and ordinary thunderbolts can use horse-drawn carriages on the way to transport, but the thunderbolt cars built by Zeng Di are difficult to do.
"Biao Bing, you order the craftsmen used to build the thunderbolt car, and follow Benhou to Bingzhou tomorrow." Lu Budao.
The princes coveted the state, but they couldn't stop the temptation from the Jinyang Chamber of Commerce, in order to further make the merchants and princes crazy, Mi Zhu directly threw out tens of thousands of war horses, and publicized them through the Han newspaper, even if these war horses were left after the selection of the state army, they had an irresistible attraction to the princes.
War horse means cavalry, means the improvement of combat effectiveness, the princes can not ignore the role of cavalry, even Jiangdong is ready to shoot at the Jinyang Chamber of Commerce this time, Jiangdong has many water troops, but once the Jiangdong army enters Guangling County and Xiapi, it will inevitably face the princes' army, and then rely on the water army It will be a little insufficient, and it is imperative to improve the strength of the army.
In recent years, Jiangdong has been doing business with the state, but the control of the state on the war horse is relatively strict.
Recently, there have been more and more troops rushing to Jinyang from all over the country, and the soldiers and horses of each county do not offend each other, but when it comes to training, the generals of all parties are full of strength, and they are also merging state troops, with the same military salary, no one will admit that they are weaker than others.
Among the soldiers and horses of each county, if the strongest is the strongest, it is none other than the defenders of Yunzhong and Yanmen, this time the Yunzhong army is led by Xu Rong, the Taishou of Yunzhong, and Xiao Yan is led by the defenders of Yanmen, without the threat from the Xianbei people on the grassland, the armies of the two counties were able to draw more soldiers and horses to Jinyang.
The Yunzhong Army, among the armies of the state, is an army with great glory, Xu Rong fled with 5,000 soldiers to attack the tens of thousands of troops in the clouds, and then led the army to sweep through the western Xianbei, achieving a great prestige, although Xu Rong is the Taishou in the clouds, but has a high prestige in the Bingzhou army.
Xiao Yan led his troops to resist the Xianbei army in Yanmen for many years, making it difficult for the Xianbei people to advance an inch, which can be said to have made great achievements.
This is also the first time Xiao Yan came to Jinyang, for Jinyang, Xiao Yan is no stranger, but after seeing Jinyang again, he was a little stunned, compared with the current Jinyang, the impression of Jinyang is so broken, he knows who brought all these changes, so after receiving Lu Bu's order, he did not hesitate to personally lead the troops to come.
Now that the state has just stabilized, there are people who want to destroy all this, which Xiao Yan cannot tolerate, he longs for stability, and longs for the people to live a stable life.
"Xu Taishou, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I am more energetic." Xiao Yan saw Xu Rong from afar and smiled.
Xu Rong returned the salute and said: "General Xiao don't want to make fun of it, General Xiao has guarded Yanmen Pass for many years, and no one in the state army is dissatisfied." ”
After talking for a long time, the two entered the city together.
Feeling the prosperity of Jinyang, Xu Rong couldn't help sighing: "Thinking about the beginning, when the lord was captured, Jinyang at that time was not like this, and the people's expressions could not hide their panic. ”
Xiao Yan nodded thoughtfully, and then asked in a low voice: "I don't know what Xu Taishou thinks of this matter of the princes' joint attack on the state?" ”
"It's just a group of wolf ambitions, can't they resist the princes with the military strength of the state?" Xu Rong said disdainfully, when he was under Dong Zhuo, he had faced the alliance of the princes to attack Luoyang, and he was disdainful of the princes' army.
"General Ben has heard that the number of the princes' alliance this time is at least more than 200,000, and it is very likely to reach 300,000." Xiao Yan's tone was a little heavy.
"Does General Xiao think that Bingzhou only has 50,000 troops outside the city?" Xu Rong asked with a smile.
"What do you mean by Xu Taishou's words?" Xiao Yan was puzzled.
"The Marquis of Jin treats the people mercifully, if the war starts, the people will not sit idly by, in the eyes of the princes, the people are weak, but the people of the annexed states will not be like this, and the number of defenders in various places is quite large, as long as the lord is willing, he can gather more soldiers and horses." Xu Rongdao.
Xiao Yan suddenly heard this, he also experienced the changes of the people in Bingzhou, especially the people's support for the Taishou Mansion in various places, which made Xiao Yan also a little surprised, in the past, the people lived their own lives, and the orders of the Taishou Mansion could be said to be dispensable, but after a series of measures in the state, it made the people have a sense of belonging to the government.
