Chapter 822 Can a bellows be used on the battlefield?
"It's done..."
Zhou Yu closed his eyes and listened to the noise coming from the city. When he opened his eyes again a moment later, he had changed into a more ferocious face - but this was just to express his long-held emotions that were like exploding.
:
"All troops board the city! Fight with the troops in the city to attack Cao Jun! We must capture Hefei City today!!"
Zhou Yu's roar resounded on the battlefield. Pan Zhang, Zhu Huan and others, who were already in decline, led two generals, Han Dang and Ding Feng. Together with the support of Jiang Qin later, they had nearly 50,000 troops.
In this way, we regained our strength and went straight to the southern city wall of Hefei.
Sure enough, affected by the influence in the city, Cao Jun in Hefei City fell into chaos in an instant.
Even with Wenpin in charge, they were still completely suppressed by the fierce Soochow people.
Wenpin was still blocking one side by himself. After beheading the enemies several feet in front of him, with blood splattering, Wenpin finally got out and shouted to the soldiers in the distance:
"Send a team of soldiers and horses to protect the two military advisors! The city wall can still withstand it for a while. During this period, you must ask General Zhang for help!"
Wenpin indeed completed the previous tasks very well and gave Zhang Liao a rare rest time.
But Zhou Yu's serial strategy is not child's play. With the instigation of a group of people, the balance of the tug-of-war that has been going on for nearly a month was finally broken by him.
An unexpected crisis has arisen, and now there is no need to worry about letting Zhang Liao rest any longer.
If Zhang Liao didn't show up, Hefei would be lost today!
——
Watching the soldiers climb up the city tower step by step and fight with the few hundred Cao soldiers left in the city, the ingenious plan of hundreds of soldiers and horses to break into the city through tunnels really dealt an unprecedented blow to the impregnable Hefei.
Zhou Yu felt relieved and smiled unconsciously.
Sun Quan in the camp seemed to have discovered Zhou Yu's breakthrough progress. He walked out of the tent excitedly, climbed to the tower of the camp, and admired the city of Hefei in the smoke.
"It's so good! It's so good! As long as Hefei can be captured - the casualties are just numbers! As long as Hefei can be captured! All sacrifices will be worth it!"
Sun Quan clapped his hands and applauded, and Zhou Yu laughed happily on the front line.
All of this caused them to be confused by a situation called "illusion" - just because their eyes could not extend into the city.
I can’t see what earth-shaking changes are taking place in the city of Hefei now——
——
Just when Wenpin quickly sent out a request for help and ordered his subordinates to lead troops and horses to cover Liu Ye's play at Zhicai, in fact, an army had already gathered outside the government office in the city and was ready to go...
"The commotion in the city is indeed caused by Zhou Yu sending people to dig tunnels and then send in soldiers and horses?"
"Back to the general... According to the brothers staying near the city wall, it seems like this - the enemy army relied on cover to dig a passage deeper than the foundation of the city wall. They did not want to collapse the city wall, but they wanted to be able to pass through the troops and horses.
If you want to attack the city wall by coordinating the inside and the outside—"
Zhang Liao frowned and stood quietly at the front of the team.
By his side, there were not only elite soldiers, but also many craftsmen who stayed in the craftsmen's workshops.
It was thanks to their information that Zhang Liao was able to know the offensive and defensive situation near the city wall at the first time.
It's just that the news coming here is not that optimistic.
"They knew we had deepened the foundation, but they still wanted to enter the city from underground?"
Zhang Liao shook his head, not because he was disappointed with the craftsmen in the workshop, but because he felt ashamed that he had underestimated the enemy's determination.
"If we had taken precautions earlier, Zhongye would not have been in such trouble - Zhou Yu must have used some kind of blinding method to prevent Zhongye from noticing their actions - we must not wait for others, we must get back to defense as soon as possible!"
Zhou Yu mounted his horse, fully dressed, and because of his short stature, he had to take the lead.
But before that, an old man from the craftsman's workshop stopped Zhang Liao:
"General Zhang, please stay!"
"Old man, what else do you have to say? If it's not an urgent matter, put down the threat in the city first, and then mention it later!"
Zhang Liao was of course anxious. Every minute and second was extremely precious. A slight delay could cause the city wall to fall, and the soldiers' hard work of resisting for decades would be wasted.
The old man raised his hand to indicate that he understood the current situation, but he still had something important to report.
"A Liang! Go and bring the blower box and let General Zhang's team bring it with them!"
"oh oh!"
The young man named Aliang, upon hearing the old man's instructions, hurriedly called his brothers and rushed together to the temporary craftsman's workshop not far away.
Zhang Liao was a little confused. The key was what the "blast box" the old man said was. Could it be able to solve the current crisis?
Seemingly sensing Zhang Liao's doubts, the old man approached Zhang Liao and said concisely and clearly:
"When Mr. Yi sent us here, he once said that if we are in a dilemma of defending the city, we need to leave all the weapons for defending the city as soon as possible for you, the general. This blast box was temporarily designed by Mr. Yi.
Tools made for situations like this…”
The old man looked at each other with the other men who were still in the room. Probably to confirm the determination in their eyes, he turned around and continued to say to Zhang Liao:
"Less than ten were temporarily made in the workshop, but if the Soochow people didn't dig too many tunnels, this blower box can work best when combined with dry firewood -"
As he spoke, the blower box that the old man was talking about was carried to the venue by a dozen people. Although Zhang Liao was not a child from a poor family, he had seen the things that farmers in the village used to cook.
"Bellows? This thing...can really be used to defend against enemies?"
"That is to say...General, we had doubts about this even if we didn't hear about the enemy situation today, but apparently you have expected that the Soochow people would use tunnels to attack - as you said, this thing is the bellows at the bottom of the stove."
Improvements don’t have many functions, but they are only used for tunnels——”
As he spoke, the old man pushed the blower box in front of Zhang Liao. The square wooden boxes seemed to be connected by special paper leaves, and the pull rod was modified into a rocker. The important thing is that the blower box was originally supposed to be used to hold the blower box.
For the appliances in the stove, after the sheets were taken out, an outlet like a hairdryer was added. The old man gently shook the rocker, stood in front of Zhang Liao, facing the air outlet, and felt the roaring wind——
"this?"
Zhang Liao was shocked. This little thing was not as tall and wide as his calf. The old man could blow up such a strong wind so easily——
Suddenly... Zhang Liao understood the function of this thing. Hearing the old man talk about "dry firewood", that meant that this thing could blow strong winds on the flat ground, not to mention thick smoke and light and fluttering fire.
"It seems that the general has understood the function of this thing... There are eight blast boxes here, and there are several more. I will arrange for the men to complete them as soon as possible. General... you can go quickly!"
Zhang Liao, who gained a lot of confidence in an instant, thanked the old man and led his army towards the city wall.
