Chapter 97 Lu Meng’s secret weapon (please read it! Don’t keep it!)
Compared to the overly nervous Mi Zhong, Yu Jin, who was also sitting next to Mi Yang, seemed much calmer.
When he was young, Yu Jin was also a tiger general who was the bravest of the three armies and risked his own life.
I remember that in the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's army pressed down on the border.
All the generals in Cao Cao's tent were frightened and uneasy. When Cao Cao asked who wanted to be the vanguard, only Yu Jin in the tent volunteered.
Later, he held the important town of Yanjin for several months with only more than 2,000 men.
Now Jiangdong's 100,000-strong army is attacking the city. Although it is much larger than Yuan Shao's army when he attacked Yanjin, with this kind of experience, Yu Jin will naturally be calmer than ordinary people.
Although Yu Jin has now become greedy for life and afraid of death, and values fame and fortune, this is because he has been corrupted by power and wealth.
He has experienced countless major battles in his life. Perhaps before he faced them, with his current ambition, he would panic.
But after facing it, his past experiences will make his heart stronger than ordinary people.
Yu Jin is very contradictory, but also very real, and in the world, people like Yu Jin are actually the most numerous.
With Yu Jin's eyes half open and half closed, he asked Mi Yang something very important.
"Will reinforcements from Yizhou come?"
It is not scary to face the siege of a large army, but it is scary to have no outside rescue.
Back then, Cao Ren defended Jiangling City for so long under Zhou Yu's fierce attack, but why did he choose to abandon the city and flee in the end?
Because apart from Xu Huang, who liked to march straight in, Cao Ren never saw any other reinforcements coming.
With no reinforcements outside, Cao Ren and the soldiers in the city lost their mentality.
Comparing today's Battle of Public Security to the Battle of Jiangling that day, the principles are the same.
Perhaps at first, under the leadership of Mi Yang, the morale of the public security garrison would not collapse for the time being.
But as time goes by, and they have not seen reinforcements for a long time, they will gradually realize that the public security has become an isolated city.
At that time, the Public Security City will be most dangerous.
But now, the only one with the military strength to support the public security is Yizhou.
Guan Yu could not even protect himself.
Facing Jin's question, Mi Yang replied firmly, almost without thinking, "Definitely."
The current situation is different from the original history.
Now Guan Yu has not yet been defeated, and Liu Bei should have received the news that Guan Yu is in danger.
According to Liu Bei's character and his performance in history, there is only one thing he will do next:
That is to gather an army and kill Sun Quan!
Hearing Mi Yang's affirmative answer, Yu Jin couldn't comment. He asked Mi Yang again, "In the battle of Hanzhong, Yizhou was victorious, but its vitality was severely damaged."
"How much strength does Yizhou have now that it can launch another war?"
Faced with Yu Jin's question, Mi Yang smiled and said, this was the first time he laughed in the past few days because he thought of someone.
"With Mr. Ge here, why should Wen Ze worry about this?"
Hearing Mi Yang mention that person, Yu Jin understood it, so he also laughed.
It's Zhuge Liang.
A person's name, a tree's shadow.
Mi Yang's trust in Zhuge Liang is not blind confidence.
Historically, Liu Bei was defeated in the Battle of Yiling. The tens of thousands of elite soldiers he had accumulated over the past ten years, dozens of new generation generals, and the grain and grass accumulated in Yizhou for many years were all destroyed in that battle.
At that time, Ji Han was almost on the verge of national subjugation.
At that moment, it was Zhuge Liang who stood up.
And just after experiencing such a tragic defeat, within a few years, Yizhou was able to launch various major military measures to conquer the Southern Barbarians and the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains.
This is enough to prove that Zhuge Liang's political ability is simply unprecedented.
Many people in later generations have begun to discredit Zhuge Liang because of the rhythm of certain marketing accounts.
But no matter how shady he is, there are two things about him that no one dares to shackle.
One is Zhuge Liang's character, and the other is Zhuge Liang's political ability.
Even if Yizhou's vitality is severely damaged now, it is far from as tragic as the Yiling defeat in history.
With Zhuge Liang here, it is impossible to do it in large numbers, but tens of thousands of elite soldiers are still possible with gritted teeth.
Mi Yang, with a resolute face, said to Jin Yan, "I have been taught by the King of Hanzhong since I was a child, and he values love and righteousness."
"If my master Ge Gong can only raise 30,000 soldiers, the King of Hanzhong will not hesitate to come with only 30,000 soldiers."
“Where friendship lies, don’t doubt the text.”
Seeing Mi Yang's steadfast expression of trust in Liu Bei, Yu Jin felt emotional.
When he was young, he had longed for this kind of relationship between a monarch and his subjects.
But in the end it was a pity and a shame.
"If it were the past, I definitely wouldn't believe your nonsense, Zi Sheng."
"But now, after being with you for many days, I have seen a lot of things, and now I say I will wait and see."
This was the first name Yu Jin used to call Mi Yang.
Yu Jin's sincere tone made Mi Yang laugh.
The conversation between Yu Jin and Mi Yang was mostly in private, so Mi Yang burst into laughter, leaving many people on the city wall confused.
But when they saw that their general was still talking and laughing calmly in such a dangerous environment, they couldn't help but feel better.
At this moment, the soldiers on the city wall who were watching the enemy suddenly let out a cry of surprise.
"It's a trebuchet! It's a trebuchet!"
After hearing this exclamation, the soldiers on the city wall stood up from the battlements one after another, came to the city wall and looked down, including Mi Yang.
When they saw a new behemoth being launched from the Jiangdong army's camp, everyone on the city wall had a heavy look on their face.
Trebuchet is also known as trebuchet and trebuchet.
Trebuchets first appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
"Fan Li's Art of War" once recorded: The flying stone weighs twelve kilograms, is used as a machine, and travels three hundred steps.
This is still the power of early trebuchets. After hundreds of years of evolution under the needs of war, trebuchets have long been transformed to become more advanced.
During the Battle of Guandu that year, Cao Cao appointed the modified trebuchet as a stone-shooting cart, which hit the Shao towers and destroyed them all. The Shao people called them "Thunderbolt Chariots".
The dozens of trebuchets now launched from the Jiangdong camp have been carefully improved by Jiangdong craftsmen.
These dozens of them are composite trebuchets, the largest of which has five gun tips mounted on a gun mount. This trebuchet is several feet high, and its base is also several feet long and wide.
Currently, each of the trebuchets launched by Jiangdong's army requires more than a hundred people to push it!
Facing such a behemoth, even the public security guards on the city wall felt short of breath for a moment.
The trebuchet is different from the anthracite used in recent days. After firing the stone projectiles, the trebuchet can directly cause large-scale damage to the defenders on the city wall.
It turned out to be the Juma Deer Antlers outside the moat, which had been almost demolished.
With the obstacles gone, the trebuchet can move forward to the moat.
In this case, the public security wall is almost within the range of the trebuchet.
So Lü Meng thought of using a trebuchet.
And this is also a big killer move he prepared for the police.
Seeing the huge trebuchet slowly approaching the moat, and hearing the huge gear grinding sound caused by the action of the trebuchet, everyone on the city wall felt a strong sense of uneasiness.
At this time, everyone looked at Mi Yang.
They hope that their commander-in-chief will find a way to save them.
At this time, Mi Yang also looked at the slowly approaching trebuchet with a heavy face, but there was no nervousness in his heart.
Because he was already prepared for this move.
Mi Yang said to Mi Zhong in a deep voice, "Go and bring the "war exemption card"!"
Mi Zhong didn't react for a moment. When did a war get free?
Now is not the Spring and Autumn Period.
When Mi Yang saw Mi Zhong standing still, he quickly kicked him and reminded him, "Sun Huan!"
These words instantly woke Mi Zhong up from his dream, and he happily ran down to the city.
