Chapter 449 The siege equipment is now showing its power

Just say that over the past few days, the morale of the army has dropped a lot, and Guo Jia thought that his lord should have known this, but for some reason he had not made any moves. However, he knew that his lord seemed to be building a batch of siege equipment, but he didn't know if it was not finished, so he did not attack, or because of other reasons. So at this time, he decided that he had to talk to his lord himself. Now, even though he knew that his side might not be able to break Luo County easily, he had to attack.

"Master!"

"It's a filial piety, sit down!"

"Thank you lord!"

"Is Fengxiao here to persuade me to advance, right?"

Guo Jia nodded after hearing this, "That's true! Is the lord planning to drag down like this and hold the troops still?"

Ma Chao shook his head, "I have some ideas now. Why don't you come and study it for me?"

"I wish to hear the details!"

So Ma Chao told Guo Jia about his thoughts. After hearing this, Guo Jia nodded slightly. To be honest, his lord's idea is not very outstanding, and he probably won't play any major role. But now he doesn't say that he is "sent to doctors if he is sick", it is actually not much different. What is there? Even though he may know that it is useless, it is still better than having no solution at all, right? At least if he does this, except for consuming some manpower and material resources, there will be no other loss, so it can be implemented.

"Jia understands the idea of ​​the lord. Jia thinks that this can be done now, no matter what, you can try it!"

When Ma Chao saw that even Guo Jia agreed, he could implement it as he wanted. As for whether it was useful or not, or how useful it was, he had to know it after using it.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this way, one day later, Ma Chao ordered people to shoot many silk books that had been written long ago into Luo County with arrows.

As for why this is, it is actually Ma Chao who is out of his mind. The first step is the rumors. The so-called three people become tigers. Even Ma Chao knew that Zhang Ren's soldiers were all interested in him, but Ma Chao actually did not intend to do so. Instead, Liu Zhang, who was far away in Chengdu. He knew that the rumors spread the fastest, and it might be spread to Chengdu in just a few days.

Although Ma Chao also knew that Liu Zhang trusted Zhang Ren and was right. Shouldn't he sit idly by Zhang Ren's nearly 30,000 soldiers in Yizhou? Of course, even if he was thinking about it, at least he didn't have that great ability to move Zhang Ren for the time being. After all, unless Zhang Ren voluntarily handed over the military power himself. Otherwise, Liu Zhang really couldn't move others. Fortunately, Zhang Ren was quite loyal to him, or whether Liu Zhang could stay safe in Chengdu now is a big deal.

So Ma Chao's intention was actually for Liu Zhang. Now that he was blocked in Luo County, it was impossible for him to spread rumors to Chengdu. So Ma Chao could only use this method at this time to quickly spread the rumors to Chengdu. But he didn't expect Liu Zhang to believe in Zhang Ren's way. But Ma Chao knew that with Zhang Ren's personality and his strength, under Liu Zhang's account, it was impossible for everyone to have a good relationship with him. So at this time, someone should jump out and then use rumors to attack Zhang Ren, and Ma Chao wanted this.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another day later, Ma Chao finally ordered the entire army to attack the city, and at this time he also lit up the already built siege equipment. As for this, that is Ma Chao's second step.

The powerful weapon for siege is the catapult, which is what Ma Chao has created to siege the craftsmen in the army these days. Anyway, he had never used this before, but now it is the first time he has built it, and it is also the first time he has been used on the battlefield. Ma Chao remembers that when he was reading books, it should have been the catapult that Liu Ye presented to Cao Cao, and then it immediately overwhelmed Yuan Shao's limelight, which made Cao's army gain the upper hand for a while. As for the others, he is unknown.

I hope that our catapult can also play a certain role this time, Ma Chao thought to himself at this time.

But of course he had never expected that he could break Luo County, which Zhang Ren was defending like an iron barrel as soon as he got on the catapult. It was just that this was the first time the entire army used this, so if it didn't work, he would have spent his manpower and material resources to create these things in vain. Of course, Ma Chao didn't feel sorry for these things, but if it was useless, it would be hard to explain to his soldiers. Although the morale of his soldiers has declined in the past few days, they can be said to be very confident in themselves.

Although Ma Chao never thought of turning himself into a military god or a person like the soul of the army. But as the commander of the first army and the leader, he certainly hoped that his guards would trust him. Moreover, he must have enough prestige and enough deterrence, otherwise how could he lead the army to fight everywhere? Therefore, the role of the catapult cart also affects these, and Ma Chao must not ignore it.

At this time, the catapult car had already been pushed to the bottom of Luo County by the soldiers of Liangzhou. They found a suitable position to stop. As for this distance, it was not far or near. Because if it was too close, it would easily be destroyed by the opponent. If it was too far, it might not be able to attack the enemy's city, or even if it was attacked, its final power would definitely be reduced.

"Everyone follows my order and prepare!"

Wu Anguo was commanding Liangzhou soldiers to use it to attack the city next to the catapult cart. After the soldiers were ready, Wu Anguo shouted: "Let it go!"

Ma Chao has taught them all long ago. When Wu Anguo said that he was preparing, the soldiers in charge of the stones quickly moved the stones and put them in place. After he finished speaking, the other soldiers started to attack the city with catapults. Although this was their first actual combat with catapults, the soldiers of Liangzhou were indeed very tacitly working together. When Ma Chao looked at the performance of his soldiers from behind, he nodded slightly. I have to say that this is indeed good. After all, it is the first actual combat, so if he can perform like this, it can be said that his Liangzhou army is doing a good job. This is not Ma Chao, he is arrogant, but it is true.

At this time, Zhang Ren was at the top of the city and thought to himself, he didn't expect that Ma Mengqi and Liangzhou Army had not made any noise in the past few days. As a result, today, there was a "no sound, it would be a shocking sound." It really surprised me, and I had to be surprised. Looking at the big rocks flying from the city below the city, although these were indeed useless to Zhang Ren, Zhang Ren knew and saw them. These had already caused other soldiers of the Yizhou Army to suffer.

This stone can not only be thrown from the city to the city, but the stones under the city can also be thrown up to the city. I'm not seeing it now. Fortunately, Ma Chao didn't build too many catapults. It was only a cross, but only these ten catapults made the soldiers of Yizhou soldiers suffer a considerable loss. The reason is that they were really not prepared for this, so when they were not prepared, they were "calculated but not intentional". So they naturally missed the opportunity, but let the Liangzhou army's catapults temporarily gain the upper hand.

After observing the constant screams from the head of Luo County, we knew that the soldiers of the Yizhou army were at a loss. Although the stones thrown by the stone casting cart were not particularly large, they were the ones with relatively heavy weight. Moreover, after hitting the soldiers of the Yizhou army, they either died or were injured. After hitting the head, the soldiers basically died, and as for other parts, it was better, but the soldiers who were hit were also injured and could not be spared.

Only those soldiers with light bodies, quick reactions, or smartness avoided the attack of the catapult. As for some other soldiers, they were not spared.

At this time, Ma Chao, who was sitting on the back of a white lion, looked at the head of Luo County from afar and saw the tragic situation of the soldiers in Yizhou being smashed. He smiled slightly at this. The catapult car finally played its due role, so even if it was very successful today, Zhang Ren must be prepared after tomorrow, so he would not be like today.

The soldiers next to the catapult cart have also changed two groups. After all, this is not an easy job, especially the one who moves stones, which is even more physical work, so they have to change to other people to do it later, otherwise they will not be able to keep up with their physical strength.

At this moment, Ma Chao pulled out his snow-drinking knife, and pointed the tip directly at the head of Luo County. He shouted: "The whole army, attack the city!"

Of course, Ma Chao would not rush up, but the soldiers of Liangzhou attacked with his order. There was a catapult here, so it reduced a lot of pressure.

For Ma Chao, the reason why he did not let his soldiers attack the city before was because he used a catapult cart for the first time, so some soldiers were still not familiar with it, so Ma Chao was afraid that they could not guarantee to throw all the stones onto the city of Luo County. So if he attacked the city, his soldiers would climb up to the city, so the stones on the castle cart behind him hit the stones onto the city, and they hit the city directly without hitting the city, which was interesting. This was not an attack, but an indiscriminate attack.

So after a while of running in, Ma Chao saw that the Liangzhou soldiers had already mastered the catapult cart at this time, so he was relieved to let the soldiers attack the city in large numbers. However, the soldiers had just attacked for a while, and using Ma Chao's calculation method, it would take about five minutes before Ma Chao stopped attacking.

After all, if a soldier attacks the city, the catapult will become an indiscriminate attack. Moreover, the catapult cannot always attack so constantly. That powerful stone is not infinite. Otherwise, the soldiers will have to attack the city, and just throw stones with the catapult cart will be over.

Moreover, Ma Chao had already discovered that at this time, Zhang Ren had already defended his own catapult cart, so he was not as good as before, causing the soldiers of Yizhou to suffer a lot of losses. So he stopped when he saw the good, and was not greedy. This is Ma Chao's usual style.

However, Ma Chao, Guo Jia, Wu Anguo and others can really be polite to the soldiers and cannot bear to hurt them. If Jia Xu was the head coach today, he would never care about these things. He would ask the soldiers to attack with a catapult on one side, and then immediately let the soldiers attack the city on the other side.

This is Jia Xu's style. He is the most realistic person. Because in his eyes, he may lose some soldiers, but this allows his side to gain an absolute advantage and gain the upper hand. In the end, it may not be possible to win the city. Therefore, the price of such a small casualties has brought more and greater benefits. So, why not do this?
