Three Kingdoms: The rebellious son of the Cao family married the queen at the beginning

Chapter 471 Zhuge Liang Tries His Skills



In one night, Yu Jin prepared the supplies Zhuge Liang needed for him.

The trees that were felled before were directly used as ferries, and now they are just in use.

Yu Jin looked at the trees in the camp and said, "Young Master Zhuge, everything you need is ready for you."

Several people looked at Zhuge Liang meaningfully, and they were about to watch Zhuge Liang's performance next, and if the performance failed, it didn't have much to do with them.

Zhuge Liang nodded in satisfaction. The materials Yu Jin had prepared for him had exceeded his needs.

"General Yu, please collect all the ropes in the army."

Yu Jin looked at his lieutenant general and said, "Recruitment!"

"promise!"

Zhuge Liang looked at Yu Jin and asked, "How wide is the corresponding gap outside the city gate?"

"Twelve feet!"

Zhuge Liang picked twenty stumps of the same size and said, "Put these stumps horizontally outside the city, with a distance of one zhang in between."

Yu Jin summoned hundreds of soldiers, and according to Zhuge Liang's orders, they were thirty feet away from the city gate, which was barely within reach of the opponent's bow and arrow, but it was hardly powerful.

Yu Jin asked in bewilderment: "There are still thirty feet away from the city wall. How can we attack the city gate at such a distance?"

Zhuge Liang smiled meaningfully, and said, "Who said I was going to attack the city gate, didn't you bring a siege crossbow?"

"Even if the opponent doesn't have a city gate, we can't get through!"

Zhuge Liang didn't explain to him, and then ordered several of his personal guards to put the raft on the horizontal tree stump, and then used rivets to make a large raft with a width of five feet and a length of fifteen feet.

Li Dian asked with contempt: "Such a big raft, do you want our soldiers to carry it under the city gate?"

Zhuge Liang rolled his eyes at him, have you lost your mind?
It's so heavy, can you carry it?

Zhuge Liang said: "General, please assemble the siege crossbow!"

"How many?" Yu Jin asked.

"One is enough, put it behind the raft, facing the city gate!"

Li Dian reminded: "Don't try to shoot down the city wall with a siege crossbow, we only have six arrows, it's impossible!"

Zhuge Liang borrowed a few soldiers, dug two deep pits less than five feet away from the moat, and buried a few wooden stakes in each.

The head of the big raft was cut into a radian, and the rope was braided into two thicker than the thighs, and then tied to the back end of the raft.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Generals, after the rope is wrapped around the stake, it will be considered complete."

Zhuge Liang made them a simple roller skating, using two wooden stakes as the fulcrum, as long as the rope is pulled in opposite directions, the raft can be sent to the city gate.

Attacking a city certainly doesn't need to be so complicated, but Yuan Shu widened the moats of most cities for his own safety.

Filling the moat would not work at all. If you want to break into the city, you must find a way.

Yu Jin complained: "It's been a busy day, and you just made this thing?"

"General, there are many rivers in Yangzhou. Yuan Shu widened the moat of the city. It is unrealistic to attack by force. My method will allow your soldiers to reach the gate of the city with ease."

Li Dian hurriedly asked: "You mean, let the soldiers pull the two ropes and send this big raft to the city gate?"

"You can't teach children!"

Li Dian's head was full of black lines, you are so young, you dare to teach me a lesson.

"We have so many horses, why do we need people to pull them?"

Zhuge Liang described the specific action plan to them, obviously admiring Zhuge Liang.

This method can be imagined, as expected of His Majesty's student.

Zhuge Liang smiled badly, and said: If anyone is not afraid of death, he can climb onto the raft, and when he is delivered to the city gate, he can occupy the city gate as soon as possible.

Several people wiped off a cold sweat. If something goes wrong, is there still life?

However, there were still some people who sacrificed themselves for military exploits. Yu Jin gathered more than 30 people and asked them to sit on a raft with shields.

"My lord, look, what the hell is Wei Guo doing to make such a big raft?"

"Can they lift it?"

Yuan Yin frowned, he always felt that it was not that simple, "Everyone keep your eyes wide open, as long as the opponent's soldiers come into range, shoot them to death with random arrows."

"Look, what are they going to do? The rope is pulled in the opposite direction, are they stupid?"

"boom!"

The siege crossbow took the lead in attacking, and the two-foot-long arrow whizzed past, smashing the city gate directly.

Yuan Yin wiped off a cold sweat, this siege crossbow is too domineering, fortunately their moat is wide enough.

"Everyone hide behind the city wall. The archers on the tower are preparing rockets. Don't let the other party take the opportunity to approach the city gate."

He wanted to see how the other party broke into the city.

"drive!"

Under the urging of the soldiers, the war horse pulling the rope rushed forward, and the strong pulling force drove the raft directly to the city gate!
The length of the raft is just enough to be delivered to the city gate.

Yuan Yin looked at the sudden raft and panicked for a moment, can he still play like this?

"Archers, burn their rafts!"

But these rafts are all soaked in water, and it is very difficult to burn them.

The soldiers on the raft stood up one after another, stumbled and rushed towards the city gate. They were very frightened by the moment just now, but if they made a mistake, their lives would be lost.

The cavalry of Yu Jin, Li Dian, and Li Zheng were impatient. Seeing their soldiers rushing into the city gate, they led the cavalry and rushed up.

"kill!"

The soldiers in Zhongli City held on for less than half an hour before disarming and surrendering.

"Damn it, that bastard Yuan Yin died in the chaos."

Yu Jin looked depressed, and he was counting on Yuan Yin to lead him the way, and then take down Yinling, but he didn't expect it to be counterproductive.

Zhuge Liang sighed and said: "If you want to go to Yinling, it seems that you need to use my method."

"Please enlighten me, Mr. Xiao!"

The three of them looked at Zhuge Liang respectfully, they were able to win Zhongli with such a small loss, thanks to Zhuge Liang's method.

Now that he thought of a way to break the trap, how could he not be excited and admired.

"The road to Yinling must be similar to Zhongli. The road twists and turns, and there are countless traps. If we go on like this, it may take us three or four days to reach Yinling."

"I suggest, use the pawns to pull the log to open the way in front, take the shortest route, and rush to Yinling quickly!"

But they dare not use surrender pawns, these people have already surrendered, they are not prisoners, and from now on they may be brothers who were born and died.

The three selected [-] soldiers and asked them to lead a dozen horses and pull logs to open the way ahead.

Yu Jin asked, "Young Master Zhuge, does Yinling City also need rafts to pave the road?"

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Yes, but according to Jin Yiwei's report, there is a suspension bridge in Yinling City, and the moat at the city gate is only three feet wide, and the other places are still about ten feet wide."

Only three feet?That's really simple, a six-foot-long raft will do.

Li Dian said respectfully: "After taking down Yinling, I will give Mr. Xiao a credit."

Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said, "No need, I didn't come here for credit. Your Majesty asked me to come here to exercise. I can't take credit for the generals."

Yu Jin praised; "Mr. Xiao, without your strategy, we might have planned to directly fill the moat, and the first credit must go to you."
