Liu Bei, who was discussing things with everyone, suddenly burst out laughing for no reason. His laughter was full of joy and ecstasy.
Jian Yong was taken aback and asked hurriedly, "Mr. Liu, why are you laughing?"
Zhang Fei's eyes lit up, "Big brother must have thought of a way to deal with Cao Mengde, right?"
Liu Bei put away the smile on his face, turned around and looked around at everyone, and said slowly, "Cao Mengde took my Xuzhou, and this revenge must be avenged."
When Jian Yong heard these words, he couldn't help but be startled, "Liu Shijun, have you really thought of a way to deal with Cao Mengde?"
Liu Bei nodded, "Yes, let everyone recruit troops as soon as possible, and then our army will send troops to attack Xuzhou. This time, Xuzhou must be recaptured."
Liu Bei has always had a humble attitude and has never said anything excessive. But when he said these words today, his face was full of pride, and his eyes shone with a fierce light.
Jian Yong asked hurriedly, "Liu Shijun, can you tell me the specific method?"
Liu Bei waved his hand and said with a smile, "Xianhe, just don't worry, we will definitely be able to take Xuzhou back this time."
Sun Qian hurriedly stepped forward and handed over his hand, "Liu Shijun, have you found reinforcements?"
Now Liu Bei's army has suffered heavy losses, and there are only more than 7,000 soldiers left under his command. It is absolutely impossible to succeed in attacking Xuzhou.
Unless reinforcements can be invited, it is absolutely impossible.
Liu Bei looked at everyone's doubtful eyes, knowing that everyone didn't believe it, so he stood up and waved to everyone.
"Everyone, if I take you to see something, you will know whether you can take Xuzhou back."
After finishing speaking, Liu Bei turned around and walked towards the door without waiting for anyone to answer.
Everyone was puzzled and wanted to solve the mystery. They turned around and chased Liu Bei's back.
A group of people came to the backyard of the county government office. Liu Bei pointed at a huge thing in front of him and said with a smile, "You are all well-informed people. Do you know this thing?"
Everyone hurriedly turned around and followed Liu Bei's fingers and saw an object like a wooden shelf, placed in the corner of the yard.
Master Sun Qian was well-known and knowledgeable. When he saw this thing, he suddenly exclaimed, "Liu Shijun, is this thing a catapult?"
Jian Yong also shouted, "Yes, it is indeed a catapult."
When everyone heard this, they immediately became energetic and rushed forward quickly to look at the catapult carefully.
"It's really a catapult."
"I can't believe we actually have a catapult."
Liu Bei looked at everyone's surprised eyes, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile, "Everyone, can you take back Xuzhou with this thing?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard these words, and then frowned.
Jian Yong said slowly, "Liu Shijun, although the power of the catapult is amazing, there is only one catapult, and it seems that it cannot exert much power. If you want to expect that this catapult can recapture Xuzhou, it is not possible.
It’s easy!”
Liu Bei smiled proudly and suddenly shouted, "Come here, push the catapult to the military camp, and let's test its power."
Following Liu Bei's order, dozens of soldiers immediately stepped forward, pushed catapults, and rushed towards the military camp.
Liu Bei and others arrived at the school grounds of the military camp. Before long, the soldiers pushed the catapult into the middle of the open space.
Liu Bei directed the soldiers to put a big stone into the spoon of the catapult, and then said to everyone.
"Everyone, let me see the power of the catapult."
After finishing speaking, Liu Bei pointed to a house in the military camp and said loudly, "That house is the target, projection."
Following Liu Bei's order, a soldier suddenly pulled the rope. The big spoon on the catapult suddenly bounced up. The stone in the spoon flew out like lightning. The huge stone made a buzzing sound and flew through the air.
An arc flew out in the air.
It's a pity that the first stone did not hit the target because the catapult was not adjusted properly.
Buzz!
The soldiers fired two more stones and became more proficient. By the time the third stone was thrown out, it had already hit the wall of the house hard.
The stone hit the wall hard, making a roaring sound, and a big hole was punched out in the wall made of clay.
"Ah!"
"It's amazing!"
"I didn't expect the catapult to be so powerful."
"It's really powerful. If it were hit on the city wall, I'm afraid it would also create a hole."
Buzz!
The soldiers fired several more stones, knocking down one wall of the house, and then Liu Bei ordered to stop.
"Everyone, how powerful is the catapult?"
When everyone heard the question, they all nodded, "It's really powerful."
Jian Yong frowned, "Liu Shijun, the catapult is indeed very powerful, but it may be impossible to recapture Xuzhou with the help of the catapult."
Sun Qian also looked worried, "If we use a catapult to hit the city wall, I'm afraid it's impossible. If we attack Cao's soldiers, only one catapult is too weak."
Liu Bei nodded, "There is only one catapult, which is indeed a bit small, and it is not that easy to use this catapult to attack the soldiers on the city wall."
At this point, Liu Bei paused and suddenly sneered, "But if you use a catapult to hit the city gate, what do you think the effect will be?"
Jian Yong waved his hand hurriedly, "Although the catapult is very powerful, if you want to use these stones to break the city gate, I'm afraid it won't be easy."
Liu Bei turned around and waved to a soldier, "Take out the things."
The soldier responded hurriedly, took out a cloth bag from behind and took out a dark red stone.
When everyone saw this stone, their eyes were full of doubts, "Liu Shijun, what is this? Why is it a dark red stone? Does it have any use?"
Liu Bei waved his hand, "Everyone, don't be impatient. You will know later."
"You go put the stone in the throwing spoon and launch it."
The soldier responded hurriedly and put the dark red stone in his hand into the huge throwing spoon.
Liu Bei pointed to an open space in front of him and said loudly, "That's the target, prepare to launch."
Following Liu Bei's order, the soldier pulled the rope, and the catapult vibrated violently. The red stone in the catapult was immediately thrown out.
Everyone's eyes followed the dark red stone, drawing an arc in the air and landing on the ground.
Just when everyone was surprised, the stone fell to the ground, and suddenly there was a violent explosion, with fire and smoke filling the sky.
"Ahhh!"
When everyone saw this, their faces suddenly changed with fear, they covered their ears and looked at the place where the explosion occurred with disbelief.
