At this time, Liu Fangliu thought for a while and immediately suggested: "Grand Governor, didn't you bring a large number of serial crossbow carts to support Huguan this time? By then, all the serial crossbow carts can be pushed to the city wall.
superior."
"When the Yellow Turban Army attacks, launch it together with the catapult, and try your best to kill and injure the Yellow Turban Army in large numbers. You must beat Tian Hu to pain and let you know the true strength of the Bingzhou Army!"
Murong Ke had this plan originally, but now that Liu Fang said it in public, he naturally had no reason to disagree. He nodded and said: "What General Liu said is true, I will immediately pass on the order!"
After a while, Murong Ke handed over this task to Sun An next to him and asked him to handle it.
"The last general takes orders." Sun An replied immediately.
After Sun An left, Luo Shixin said to Liu Fangxiao: "General Liu, I thought I, Luo Shixin, was the only one who liked playing with such big things, but I didn't expect that you, the guy, also has this hobby!"
Hearing what Luo Shixin said, Liu Fang suddenly showed a dumbfounded expression, while Murong Ke shook his head. Although several people wanted to use all the heavy equipment to deal with Tian Hu's army, their thoughts were
Something is different.
Luo Shixin's idea was very simple, which was to kill the chicken and respect the monkey, so that the Yellow Turban Army would know the true strength of the Bingzhou Army, so that they would not have time to hang around, especially against Chen Youliang of Dai County.
I believe that after knowing this, he will understand the overall situation very well.
…………
Murong Ke and Liu Fang, in addition to having this idea, were more motivated by the thought of killing a chicken with a bull's-eye. They used thunderous force to give the Yellow Turban Army a head-on blow, which would definitely defeat the Yellow Turban Army's vigor.
Although Murong Ke still doesn't know how the Yellow Turban Army's weak morale suddenly improved, this does not affect his calculations. He just wants to make Tian Hu suspicious and help future defense.

at the same time.
The Tian Hu army outside Huguan had been preparing since the early morning. Due to the inability of the leading general, it took more than two hours for the 130,000-strong army to complete their formation in a vast open space outside Huguan.
Already.
It has to be said that Tian Hu has grown a lot over the years, and now he has the ability to command an army of 130,000 people.
Considering Luo Shixin's strength, the attack formation used by Tian Hu was a more traditional attack formation, dividing the entire army formation into an infantry formation and two wings of cavalry.
The infantry formation consisted of 125,000 people. Tian Hu divided it into twelve square formations. Each square formation was led by a general. He only needed to command these twelve generals.
Tian Hu also learned this from Yun Ji.
After all, that's how Han Xin did it back then.
As the descendant of the Xiang family's art of war, Yun Ji naturally discovered this, so he also taught it to various commanders, allowing them to command large corps in battle, so that they can more easily master it!
Of course, it was impossible for Tian Hu to swarm all the twelve square formations at once, but divided them into two major parts.
The phalanx in front is the phalanx responsible for siege. The one at the front is the sword and shield soldier, who can withstand the bows and arrows shot from the wall. Behind him are the soldiers carrying the ladders and the rushers.
Assault troops such as city vehicles, trebuchets, and wells.
The combined strength of these phalanxes is a full 100,000 people. As for the remaining two phalanxes, they are not involved in the attack. Their task is to hold down the formation, which is the so-called Chinese army.
Tian Hu and the others are here. Since they are Chinese troops, Tian Hu specially placed 20,000 troops here.
Of course, in addition to these infantry formations, there is also the only thing Tian Hu can do, the five thousand cavalry troops, which surround the two wings of the infantry square formation.
After all, most of the Bingzhou army is made up of cavalry. If they suddenly attack from the two wings, the cavalry can be used to resist, thereby protecting the safety of the entire army on both wings.
At this time, Tian Hu was riding on his beloved BMW. This horse was also bought by him from a horse dealer. He spent a hundred gold and it was a rare and good horse.
Under the banner of the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army, Tian Hu couldn't help but feel proud as he looked at the 100,000 troops he had accumulated over the years, the aura that radiated like a rainbow, and the generals such as Shan Shiqi, Tuozhao, and Tang Chang who were surrounding him.
He raised his whip and laughed loudly: "I have 130,000 tiger and wolf troops here. Even if Wang Ke has the power to reach the sky, he can't protect the Hu Pass."
"My army wants to capture Huguan, just like searching for something from a bag!"
Hearing Tian Hu's praise, the generals beside him couldn't help but look proud, as if the Hu Pass in front of them was already in their hands.
However, at this moment, Tian Hu, who was imagining that he had captured Huguan, suddenly discovered that there were a large number of people standing on the wall of Huguan. Not only that, there were many square and large boxes, and the Han army was boarded.
city wall.
Tian Hu couldn't help but feel strange. He didn't know what it was, so he pointed to the thing on the wall, turned to the military advisor Qiao Daoqing and asked: "Military advisor, do you know what that square box is?
"
"Square box, what square box?"
Qiao Daoqing was stunned when he heard this, but he did not answer Cao Cao immediately. Instead, he looked carefully for a while, and his expression changed instantly.
Qiao Daoqing said with a solemn face: "Lord, if I read it correctly, this should be a serial ballista."
The repeating crossbow cart is a large mechanical device placed on the city wall that can release sixty large crossbow arrows and countless small crossbow arrows at the same time. It requires ten people to drive it.
The most ingenious thing is that the tail of the ten-foot-long crossbow arrow is tied with a rope, and after being shot, it can be quickly rolled up and retrieved with a windlass.
At this time, I saw Qiao Daoqing saying to Tian Hu: "During the Warring States Period, this thing was revealed to the world by Mozi. However, after that, for unknown reasons, it became lost. It was not until hundreds of years later that this thing was discovered in the Qin Dynasty.
It will flourish in the hands of the army."
"However, after the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the Liannu chariot lost contact again and disappeared from the long river of history. I never expected that I would encounter this thing here today!"
After hearing Qiao Daoqing's account of the history of the Liannu chariot, Tian Hu immediately asked: "Since this thing disappeared from the world when the Qin Dynasty fell, why does it appear here today?"
"It is said that the current Wang family in Taiyuan is the descendant of Wang Jian, the general of the Qin army!" Qiao Daoqing replied, making Tian Hu instantly dumbfounded and not knowing what to say.
At this moment, Tian Hu's general Dang Shilong came to report: "My lord, our siege army has been prepared. Do you want to attack the city immediately?"
"Are you ready?" Hearing Dang Shilong's words, Tian Hu's eyes flashed with a sharp look, and then he ignored how the ballista appeared and ordered to Dang Shilong: "Send the order to the army to attack immediately.
