Chapter 392: Creating Terror
"That, my lord......" After listening to Guo Jia's words, a veteran said weakly. But he was a little hesitant.
"If you have anything, you can say it directly, and even if you say it wrong, I won't blame you." Guo Jia couldn't help but say.
got Guo Jia's promise, and this person finally had the courage,
"That's right, sir. Although the catapult is very powerful, it is still more difficult to smash the city gate open. The veteran said cautiously. In fact, under normal circumstances, how dare he say such a thing to Guo Jia in person, even if Guo Jia is said to be relatively close to the people and has no shelf, but for these small soldiers below, it is an existence that can only look up.
It's just that the veterans are afraid that if they fail to smash the city gate open for a long time, Guo Jia will blame them for it. So it's better to make things clear in advance, it's definitely not their problem, but catapults are simply not suitable for this kind of work.
Yes, anyone who has played Angry Birds knows that a high throwing line like a catapult can't hit a stone wall. Because of the angle, when the boulder lands, most of the force points are in the vertical direction, and the force generated in the horizontal direction is actually not very large.
Today's catapults cannot be adjusted at all in terms of the starting throwing angle, and in order to ensure the power, the size and weight of the cannonballs are probably controlled within a certain range, which also leads to the fact that the catapult is always such a high throwing line, and cannot be temporarily changed to a "smashing man" flat throw.
This kind of thing, Guo Jia, who has studied physics to some extent, obviously understands it better than people in the world today, you must know that even Liu Ye, who designed this catapult. are still far from being as professional as Guo Jia. Moreover, why did Guo Jia smash the city gate open? He didn't plan to actually attack Guangwei right away. At this time, it is useless to smash the city gate open!
"Anyway, you just smash it. I'm not asking you to smash the gates open for me. I'm going to let you just shut the gates of the city little by little. Guo Jia explained.
However, after listening to Guo Jia's words, the veteran spoke weakly again,
"That, sir......"
"If you have something to say, just say it!" Guo Jia shouted speechlessly.
"Yes! Be! In this way, it is impossible to completely block the door with this method. For as long as the people inside open the door from the inside, and carry the stones into the city little by little, it will be easy to get out. The veteran explained to Guo Jia earnestly.
Guo Jia was speechless for a while. Nima, doesn't he Guo Jia understand this bit of common sense? He Guo Jia doesn't always want to completely block the city gate, you must know that he will have to enter and exit from here in the future! Does this guy still think that Guo Jia is planning to block the city gates in all directions and then starve the people inside?
Originally, Guo Jia remembered that this person was very good, knowledgeable, and courageous, and dared to ask questions directly in person. But now, such a self-righteous guy. If Guo Jia promotes him again, sooner or later he will become the second Ma Jian (people are obviously before Ma Jian)!
"Anyway, just do what I tell you to do! I just ask you, when will the people inside be temporarily unable to get out? Guo Jia said directly.
"This. If it doesn't stop, it should be about the same after noon. The other party thought for a moment and replied.
"Good!" Guo Jia nodded, "Once it's certain that no one can get out of it." Then give me the artillery team at once and move forward. If there are still archers on the walls of the city who are not afraid of death, then leave me half of the catapults to continue smashing the walls. I'll shield the rest and push forward! Just in case, yours is here to stay. If anyone wants to open the door and get a stone, then I'll stone him to death!" Guo Jia commanded.
In this way, Guo Jia's plan is already very clear. Why are catapults so far away now, the archers on the defensive walls are one thing, and the other is an important aspect, but also because they are afraid that if the city gate suddenly opens, a team of cavalry will rush out and destroy it. Therefore, there must be some room to deal with such a situation.
And if the city gate is temporarily blocked, then there will be no more such worries, Guo Jia only needs to pay attention to the archers on the city wall, of course, the premise is that after such a non-stop smashing all morning, there are archers who dare to stand on the city wall to defend.
Who would be so stupid, there is no point here to attack the city with a ladder, and then send soldiers to guard the city wall, what is it to be a live target?
If this continues, Guo Jia can infer that the other party is sure that Guo Jia will not attack the city, so he simply does not defend it and evacuates such a city wall. So, in the face of such a situation, is Guo Jia wasting manpower and shells in vain? No! Guo Jia wants to shoot all the shells directly into the city wall, and he wants to create endless terror in the entire Guangwei!
Think about it, do the people who live near the east gate dare to continue to live in the face of the fact that huge rocks may fall from the sky at any time? So there are only two options. First, move away decisively and spread the horror of Guangwei to the surrounding areas. Second, become a refugee in the city and hide in a place where you won't be smashed. These people will soon become the source of chaos in Guangwei City, and in order to survive, they must have done something to steal.
So, what should the officials in the city do? Bailout? Do they have the power to help? And in today's situation, it is estimated that few people are willing to give their own money and food to help irrelevant people. So there is no way to save, and to maintain stability, killing? Drive?
In this case, Tao Qian is really going to be cornered. Because at that time, Guo Jia's inconspicuous words would instantly appear clearly in people's ears. "Kill the people who can't eat, or drive them outside, Xuzhou will suddenly become the most peaceful and prosperous place in the world!" "Maybe you just look out for your own good, and don't care about anyone else. But haven't you ever been worried that you will not be able to live the day? ”
It is only when something really happens that some people can understand Guo Jia's foresight and insidiousness!
Of course, Tao Qian wants to deny Guo Jia, but it is actually very easy. Because the root cause of all this is Guo Jia, if it were not for Guo Jia's aggression, would those civilians who live and work in peace and contentment be reduced to refugees who can't survive? Guo Jia is simply a thief shouting to catch a thief and bite back!
That's right, Guo Jia doesn't deny Tao Qian's words at all, but he, Guo Jia, is still an outsider, as an enemy, he has nothing to blame for doing anything, to be honest, there are definitely more people who really attack the city and die than this, but it doesn't look so terrible. And in the face of the enemy's accusations, what impact will it have on Guo Jianeng? On the contrary, it is Tao Qian, who can't protect, oh no, he doesn't protect his own people at all, so do you Tao Qian still have the face to accuse others?!
"Zhao Yun!" Guo Jia shouted.
"In!" Zhao Yun hurriedly stepped forward.
"You work hard today, if anyone comes out of the east gate, you immediately lead your troops to defeat them! After the east gate is sealed and the artillery team advances, you will follow Yu Ban to guard both sides to prevent the enemy from detouring through the other two gates. Guo Jia commanded.
