As a result, Guangwei City was quickly divided into three types of people. First, he gave a gift, but he thought that he was deceived by Guo Jia and was fooled by Guo Jia, and he hated Guo Jia and firmly opposed the Cao faction; Second, after giving a gift, although Guo Jia still did not respond, he had a fluke hope in his heart, thinking that as long as Guo Jia won Guangwei, he would definitely remember their good and curry favor with the future leader in advance. In the end, it is obviously a neutral faction who did not give gifts and failed to cooperate with Guo Jia.

This kind of person is obviously the most tangled type, if he firmly resists Guo Jia, then once he wins, not only will his position be stable, but he may also rise to the top; But once you lose, because of your previous firm resistance to Guo Jia's behavior, there will definitely be no good end after the war!

On the contrary, if they respond to the battle passively, once they lose, Guo Jia may not be able to do anything to them, after all, they had plans to surrender before, but Guo Jia himself did not accept their surrender, which should not be blamed on them; And once they win, based on the facts, since they have won, how can they say that they are passively fighting?

And with the ancient people's habit of thinking that tended to be modest, it is estimated that most people will choose the latter. There is no morale at all, coupled with the idea of passive response, this war really has no point in fighting.

Of course, it is not excluded that there are some anti-Cao factions who naturally hate Cao Cao and are close to Tao Qian, or pro-Cao factions who are naturally close to Cao Cao and hate Tao Qian. It's just that this kind of existence that only looks at feelings and does not talk about interests will always be the minority!

The three-day time limit has passed. The whole of Guangwei City was in a very nervous mood, waiting to see Guo Jia's decision.

The prefectural commander and the city guard came to the east gate city wall early in the morning. To be precise, they hadn't slept at all the day before. But. With the first rays of the morning sun, they were greeted by a row of catapults that slowly approached.

Cut! It turns out that the so-called weapons of mass destruction are just this, who to scare!

If you were a bystander, you would definitely be able to make such a complaint at will now. But is there anyone who can laugh at the people on the city wall today?

Catapults are definitely the most massive weapons of destruction in this era! Due to the long distance. The power is high, the range of bows and arrows is simply not reached, usually in the face of catapults, you can only send a team of cavalry, rush to the front, destroy the catapult at zero distance, or, wait for the other party's soldiers to rush up, after the two soldiers are handed over. For fear of accidental injury, the other party will definitely take the initiative to stop the catapult's shooting.

But on this day, Guo Jia didn't have any plans to attack the city at all, so. With enough ammunition, the catapult will never stop. And Zhao Yun brought a cavalry to guard the side, just waiting for the people inside to take the initiative to come out and attack the catapult.

"Quick! Send a letter to Mr. Guo! Said we invited him over to discuss something big! The county magistrate hurriedly said. From the previous private, neither of them said anything about the situation. In an instant, it became clear that he was going to surrender to Guo Jia.

It's a pity that Guo Jia, who didn't plan to take Guangwei directly. Guo Jia, who worked hard to build a thunderbolt and has not used it yet, how can he care about this kind of thing now!

Seeing that the catapult continued to approach little by little, where did the county commander and others dare to continue to stay on the city wall, they hurriedly came down from the city wall and hid far behind!

At this time, everyone understood that Guo Jia was determined to beat them!

"Impossible! It's only three days, and there is no information before that they have catapults, how can they build so many in just three days! One of them shouted.

Under normal circumstances, this is indeed impossible. However, this time, Guo Jia used the factory assembly line production method, and it took three days to have sufficient materials and no disturbance, which was enough for Guo Jia to build dozens of catapults!

Perhaps there will be a lot of flaws in the assembly line production, which cannot be compared with the kind of serious production. But usually there are only a few good craftsmen, and instead of creating a few hundreds, the others are only sixty points, or it is better to have a few hundred points, as long as there are only a few hundred points, it is better to make all eighty points. This overall power will definitely be greatly enhanced!

"But now the facts are in front of us, whether they are secretly hidden or made up temporarily, the facts are no longer allowed to be denied!" Another exclaimed excitedly.

"Nope! I mean, maybe Guo Jia just wanted to scare us. There may only be a few catapults in it, and the others are just in shape! The man explained. This may be sanity, but it's more self-comforting.

"Huh, scare us? Are you still underestimating Guo Jia? Is it necessary for him to scare us like this? A pro-Cao faction with hope sneered.

"I think you've been scared for a long time, don't compare us to you!" An anti-Cao faction who was deceived by Guo Jia and deceived his feelings and money scolded loudly.

"Ridiculous! Once the cannon is fired, everything can be verified, if only a few of these catapults can be used, is Guo Jia making so many of them grandstanding? Do you remember what Guo Jia said that day? He said he would test newly developed weapons of mass destruction. Is the catapult a new development? It is estimated that Guo Jia is talking about this new catapult that can be produced quickly! The pro-Cao faction said suddenly.

Boom!

There was a loud bang, shaking like a mountain shaking the ground, and the faces of the whole audience turned white. Really, here we go!

Boom!

"Launch!"

Outside the city gate, Guo Jia personally beat the drum and directed the first round of catapult launches. All the catapults, hearing the sound of drums, flew out of the boulders that had already been filled.

The height is different, the distance is different. This can't be helped, although it is produced by the assembly line, but there are still many differences between each catapult, because the so-called assembly line is a manual assembly line, not a machine assembly line. In addition, the size, shape and weight of each stone are also different, and the flight trajectory in the air is naturally different.

However, what is gratifying is that whether it was accurately smashed on the city wall, smashed on the outer wall, or flew directly over the city wall, no boulder landed before it flew to the city wall. No exceptions!

"Beautiful!"

Guo Jia handed over the wooden stick for beating the drum to someone else.

"Don't panic, don't rush, then divide into two groups, staggered with each other and give me my time. On this first day, I'm going to launch all day long! Even at night, leave one here for me, and leave some people to continue the launch, and I want to make them sleep badly. If the enemy dares to come out at night, then burn the catapult for me, and return to the camp at once, without having to fight. Guo Jia commanded.

Then Guo Jia walked to the middle position,

"You two adjust the angle and distance by yourself, and aim at the city gate for me to launch!" (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please read it on m.qidian.com. )
