Eight hundred and thirtieth chapters see the arrow car
Seeing the confused look on Zhang Hu's face, Lu Meng couldn't help but laugh. Although there were several times the number of enemies outside the city, Lu Meng became extremely relaxed after seeing these iron boxes. He smiled and said to Zhang Hu
: "General Zhang! You don't recognize this thing? When Hua Xin rebelled and Wang Yue assassinated the young master, you didn't see this thing?"
"Huh?" Lu Meng mentioned the Huaxin Rebellion in Chang'an. Zhang Hu was stunned at first, but quickly replied: "I was ordered to protect the lord's family in the General's Mansion, and I did not participate in the arrest of those who rebelled against the party.
During the operation, Wang Yue's assassination of the young master was too sudden, and I only found out about it after the fact!"
Lu Meng didn't know the connection. After hearing Zhang Hu's words, Lu Meng finally understood, and then asked: "Although General Zhang did not participate in the encirclement and suppression of Wang Yue, he has always heard how Wang Yue died, right?"
?”
"I've heard about this!" Zhang Hu nodded and said, "I heard that Wang Yue is the best master in the world. Even General Huang and General Zhao joined forces and only managed to repel him. However, Wang Yue finally succeeded.
It was Master Jia who used the arrow carriage developed by Momen to..."
Halfway through the words, Zhang Hu looked at the iron boxes with astonishment on his face, almost speechless. He pointed at the iron boxes with some trembling and asked Lu Meng: "Lu, General Lu, could it be that these are the same ones from back then?"
The kind of arrow chariot that killed Wang Yue, the best swordsman in the world?"
Seeing Zhang Hu's answer, Lu Meng said with a smile: "Yes and no, the arrow chariot used to kill Wang Yue was just a semi-finished product just developed by Momen. It was originally going to be taken to Liangzhou for testing.
, was temporarily used by Mr. Jia to deal with Wang Yue. These arrow chariots have been greatly improved on the basis of the original arrow chariots, and are more suitable for use on the battlefield, and are more powerful!"
Lu Meng's words made Zhang Hu confused. Back then, he had seen the scene where Wang Yue was killed and was shocked by the dense arrows. But now Lu Meng told him the power of these arrow carts.
Even stronger than before! Zhang Hu suddenly became more confident in this battle against the enemy!
While Lü Meng and Zhang Hu were talking, the Cao Wei army outside the city was getting closer and closer. Lü Meng no longer cared about chatting with Zhang Hu. He turned to Mo Shi and asked: "Mr. Mo Shi, can we attack?
"Although Lu Meng was a great fighter, he didn't know much about these arrow chariots, so he still had to consult experts like Mo Shi in many places.
Mo Shi squinted his eyes and looked outside the city, estimated the distance, nodded and said: "General Lu! The enemy has now entered the attack range! You can attack!"
With Mo Shi's consent, Lu Meng couldn't wait to see the power of these arrow chariots. When he raised his right hand, he waved forward suddenly and shouted: "All arrow chariots! Attack!"
Under Lu Meng's order, the Momen disciples standing next to the arrow cart immediately opened the mechanism of the arrow cart. Suddenly, the side of the twenty arrow carts facing the outside of the city opened with a swish, revealing a
Rows of arrows flashed with cold light. Those Momen disciples did not need to aim, they just turned on the mechanism, and the short arrow inserted upside down in the arrow cart immediately flew out from the arrow cart with strong force!
Looking from outside the city, you can see a black cloud suddenly flying out from the top of the city, and shooting at Cao Wei's army outside the city at an extremely fast speed! Because Cao Wei's army obviously has not reached the reach of ordinary archers.
The attack range was small, so the general did not order the soldiers to prepare to raise their shields, but this time they were hit by the short arrow, and in the blink of an eye they fell down!
"Hahahaha!" Seeing the results of this arrow chariot, Lu Meng and Zhang Hu jumped up with excitement, and Mo Shi, who was next to him, also looked proud and said: "This kind of arrow chariot is better than ten years ago.
The semi-finished product has indeed been improved a lot. The range is fifty steps better than ordinary bows and arrows. If placed on the top of the city, the distance will be further! And the biggest advantage is that this kind of arrow cart can replace the short arrows on its own.
, the arrow chariots of the past couldn’t do this! When Master Jia used that arrow chariot to ambush that Wang Yue, if he couldn’t succeed in one blow, those arrow chariots would be useless!”
After hearing Mo Shi's introduction, Lu Meng and Zhang Hu stretched their heads to look at the arrow cart curiously. Sure enough, under the operation of the Momen disciples, several rows of short arrows were stretched out from each arrow cart.
The arrow is flashing with cold light!
Lu Meng and Zhang Hu both had gleaming eyes. Of course they could see how much impact this change would have on the war! Zhang Hu immediately said excitedly: "Great! Then what are you waiting for! Continue.
Launch! Kill all the enemies! Haha! Just relying on this arrow cart, we can repel these enemies!"
Lu Meng was much calmer than Zhang Hu. He waved his hand and said to Zhang Hu: "General Zhang, don't be anxious! Although this arrow chariot is powerful, it also has a fatal weakness! Mr. Mo Shi, am I right?
"
As soon as Lu Meng said his words, Mo Shi's eyes flashed with approval. He nodded and acknowledged Lu Meng's statement and said: "General Lu is really powerful. He was able to discover this weakness in such a short period of time! No wonder the lord values General Lu so much."
!This arrow cart does have a big weakness. Our brothers and sisters have been studying it for a long time, but we can't solve this problem!"
"Weakness? What weakness?" Zhang Hu was confused by the words of Lu Meng and Mo Shi. He looked left and right and felt that this arrow chariot was a sharp weapon for killing gods and Buddhas.
If all the armies of the Western Qin Dynasty were equipped with such weapons, wouldn't it be easy to conquer the world?
Lu Meng smiled and glanced outside the city. The Cao Wei army outside the city was obviously frightened by the round of arrow rain just now. Under the orders of several Cao Wei generals, they took a few steps back to make sure they were in a safe position.
Then he stopped. Lu Meng nodded and said to Zhang Hu: "The weakness is that this arrow cart consumes too many arrows! Do you know how much arrows were consumed in that attack just now?
Arrows? That’s enough arrows for three thousand archers to shoot! If he attacks repeatedly like this, the number of arrows consumed in one battle will be incredible!"
Mo Shi also smiled bitterly and said: "Our brothers and sisters have thought of many ways to solve this problem. Now we can only temporarily use short arrows to replace arrows to reduce losses, but this is just to quench thirst with poison, and the effect is not very good!"
"Uh!" Zhang Hu is not a fool. After listening to Lu Meng and Mo Shi's explanation, he understood the key. Moreover, there is definitely no short arrow like this in Nanton City, so Mo Shi brought it this time.
The reserves must not be large, so it is impossible to rely on arrow chariots to attack from beginning to end as he just said. Zhang Hu couldn't help but feel a little frustrated and said: "In that case, isn't this arrow chariot not very useful?
?”
"How could it be?" Lu Meng laughed, pointed outside the city, and said: "Look at the enemy troops outside the city, weren't they just suppressed by the attack we just made! We only need to come at the critical moment.
Although it is impossible to scare the enemy away in such a short time, it can at least make the enemy fearful and unable to attack with all his strength! As long as the time is prolonged! Our mission will be considered completed!"
Zhang Hu's eyes lit up. From Lu Meng's words, he clearly heard a message, that is, Lu Meng came to Nanton this time, and indeed he had a special mission! Just when Zhang Hu was about to ask, he suddenly saw
There is another figure on the top of the city. It is the Nanton City Guard, Guo Yi, who is rushing over!
Guo Yi, who was in the city guard's mansion, knew of the huge commotion from the enemy just outside the city. He immediately dropped the government affairs in his hands and rushed over. However, he was a scholar after all, so his speed was slower than Zhang Hu's.
I've been there a lot, and I've only just arrived now.
When he arrived at the top of the city, when he saw Lu Meng and Zhang Hu, Guo Yi quickly walked up to them and asked directly: "How is it? How is it? What happened? Who are those people? Where are they from?
Soldiers and horses?" Guo Yi was startled when he saw the Cao Wei army of more than 20,000 people outside the city, and asked several questions in succession.
Guo Yi's current appearance is the same as Zhang Hu's just now. Zhang Hu quickly explained the situation, but Zhang Hu did not say anything about Lu Meng's special mission. It's not that Zhang Hu doesn't believe Guo Yi, Guo Yi's
His background is almost the same as Zhang Hu's, and he should be a trustworthy person. However, this is Lu Meng's task after all. Zhang Hu would not be able to tell Guo Yi the truth about this matter without Lu Meng's consent. Besides, Zhang Hu
He felt that he actually didn't know much. If he really wanted to explain it, Zhang Hu couldn't explain it clearly himself, so he might as well leave it to Lu Meng to solve the problem.
Sure enough, when Zhang Hu finished speaking, Lu Meng took a look outside the city and made sure that the enemy would not attack for the time being. Then he turned to Guo Yi and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Guo! What happened here was actually within the lord's expectation!"
Speaking of which, the whole thing is a suggestion made by your Lord to the lord. The purpose of luring the snake out of the hole is to weaken Cao Wei's power and lay the foundation for the subsequent peace of the world!"
As soon as Lu Meng finished speaking, Zhang Hu's mind immediately pictured the playful and smiling face of the genius Guo Jia far away in Chang'an City. Guo Yi also showed a strange expression on his face after hearing Lu Meng's words.
Only people like Guo Jia in the world would plot against his own son! When Lu Meng saw the expressions of Guo Yi and Zhang Hu, he immediately understood what they were thinking. In fact, in Runan that day, Lu Meng and Zhang Hu
His immediate superior, Yuzhou Governor Wenpin, had the same idea after seeing the secret order sent from Chang'an.
However, maybe it was Guo Jia's informal thinking that made the plan successful! Thinking of this, Lu Meng had to secretly admire Guo Jia. In terms of resourcefulness, maybe Guo Jia was not as good as Xi Zhicai, but in March
In terms of fighting, among the counselors in the Western Qin Dynasty, Guo Jia was undoubtedly the strongest!
