Wooden beast is the ultimate siege weapon in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 10". It requires the city to develop into a giant scale, and it also has two special buildings: siege weapon manufacturing institute and technology development institute.

Only Jiangzhou owns these two buildings in all cities across the country. In other words, only Jiangzhou can build wooden beasts.

This is also the fundamental reason why Wu Fan led his troops south to take down Jiangzhou as soon as possible. However, the plan did not change quickly, but now Wu Fan led his army to the Eastern Front and fought with Sun Jian's army.

Therefore, Wu Fan was naturally very happy about the three wooden beasts that Yuan Shao sent in time. After making a while with Yuan Shao, he ordered the soldiers to assemble one of them and take a look at them.

Although the wooden beast is a siege weapon, it is actually more conducive to field battles. It is spectacular to use it in a place with abundant grass and trees. However, due to the changing wind direction in the game, the fire emitted by the wooden beast is close to its own troops. It may easily cause fire and cause trouble for itself. This is also a headache for players in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 10".

However, if the character controlled by the player has the ability to change the sky, the situation will be greatly improved. Using the candlestick to control the wind direction can effectively exert the power of the wooden beast.

Soon, the wooden beast was assembled, roughly the same as the one in the game, both of which were a squatting tiger, and with four wooden wheels with a diameter of more than one meter, it could move quickly on flat terrain.

The height of the wooden beast is about three meters and seven to eight meters long. An iron nozzle pops out of its mouth, with a slight oily glow and the black charcoal deposit left by Liu Yanjun when he was using it.

Wu Fan walked around the wooden beast, looked at the appearance, and ordered the soldiers to push the wooden beast into an open space for fire-breathing tests to actually understand the fire-breathing distance and flame burning intensity of this thing.

The soldiers also showed great interest in this ultimate weapon. They excitedly pushed the wooden beast to a barren open space far away from the Han Village by the river, and pushed the wooden beast's tiger head to the south along the wind direction.

After a little manipulation, a tongue of flame suddenly gushed out of the tiger's mouth. Its length was more than 300 meters long and a fire dragon suddenly formed on the ground, with a flame height of about one and a half meters. Even the front end of the fire dragon was sprayed to the riverside, and the river water washed up. The flame did not diminish at all, but floated on the water and continued to burn.

It is indeed a good thing to kill and set fire. According to this, this wood beast is not only suitable for land battles like in the game, but can still exert super unexpected power in water battles. However, it can be seen without demonstration that if this thing is not well controlled in the wind direction and burns on one's own people, it will definitely be quite troublesome.

After the demonstration, Wu Fan asked the soldiers to dismantle the wooden beast immediately and no longer continue to demonstrate. After all, this thing is also a secret weapon of Cao's army. At this time, Cao's army and Sun Jian's army both sent spies to each other. There were too many demonstrations and it was hard to guarantee that the news would not be leaked. The transportation unit brought by Yuan Shao came from his subordinates, far away in Jiangzhou. Wu Fan believed that compared to his own troops, Yuan Shao's transportation unit could keep this secret better. This was also because Wu Fan had not allowed his soldiers to participate in the assembly of the wooden beast.

and the reason for the demonstration.

The three wooden beast components were covered with curtains and transported to the armory of the Hanzhai, and properly encapsulated. Without their own permission, no one may open the seal, otherwise the military law will be judged by the Ministry of Justice.

The entire transportation and packaging process was still completed by the transportation team under Yuan Shao, and no one under Wu Fan himself or Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun were used.

Then, Wu Fan and Yuan Shao had another banquet in the Han Village in the army, briefly completing the ceremony of the guests and host; looking back at the past and looking forward to the future, the entire banquet process was held in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere. The next morning, Yuan Shao led the transport team to Jiangzhou.

Now Liu Yan's army is hiding in Jianning City, adjacent to the southern barbarians of the tiger and wolf country, and Cao's army is in the north. I believe life will not be too easy. It is at this time to dismiss this old Western Shu warlord.

Yuan Shao went back this time and took Wu Fan's new urban policy: to guide Jianning. The same urban policy was also sent to the two prefects of Li Zhan and Zhang Lu. However, Wu Fan did not ask these three people to directly send troops to attack Jianning, but instead took advantage of the savage and warlike nature of the Southern Barbarians, promising that as long as they capture Jianning City, the land of Jianning would be owned by them.

Then, when the Southern Barbarians sent troops to attack Jianning, they persuaded Liu Yan's army, who was alone in Jianning, to surrender. I believe that Liu Yan had a high chance of choosing to surrender to Cao's army when he could not defend Jianning at all, so as not to become a prisoner of the barbarians.

By then, the Cao army will take Jianning without a single soldier. Since the city was not conquered by the Southern Barbarians, the previous agreement will naturally not take effect. The Southern Barbarians will definitely not agree, which leads to the next military policy: to pacify the Southern Barbarians.

This military policy is Wu Fan's ultimate goal. I believe that with the troops of Yuan Shao, Li Zhan, Zhang Lu, and Liu Yan, as well as the many generals and advisers under the four men, even if they cannot pacify the Southern Barbarians, they can still fight against the Southern Barbarians for a long time. By that time, Wu Fan was confident that he had defeated the main force of Sun Jian's army. Even if Jiangdong had not been pacified, the subsequent matter would be left to the two legions of Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun. He could lead the main force to attack the Southern Barbarians as much as possible.

At present, the prefect of Jiangzhou is Yuan Shao, the prefect of Ziliang is Zhang Lu, and the prefect of Yong'an is Li Zhan. In the subsequent personnel transfer order, Wu Fan transferred Li Zhan to Chengdu as the prefect, and joined all his troops and generals to Chengdu. The prefect of Yong'an was succeeded by Kuai Yue, and the prefect of Jiangling was succeeded by Kuai Liang.

In addition, before the official war with the Southern Barbarians, Yuan Shao, ordered the prefect of Jiangzhou, to produce all kinds of siege weapons day and night, and to equip relevant troops, especially the Pili chariots and wooden beasts, requiring all troops to be fully equipped with Xinye, Hanzhong, Shangyong, Jiangxia, Xiangyang, Jiangling, Yong'an, and Jingnan counties to provide corresponding financial support.

Three days later, Liu Ye, who stayed in Jiangling, received a letter from Wu Fan and rushed to Hefei.

Since Wu Fan brought back the stone table with strange patterns engraved on Jiangling that he found in Heifengling, Liu Ye was "borrowed" by Wu Fan from Cao Cao and stayed in Jiangling City day and night to study the patterns engraved on the stone table.

Now, the battle of Hefei is about to begin. Wu Fan has been thinking about the mysterious formation that Zhuge Liang discovered.

The law, and there are full reasons to believe that Zhuge Liang will definitely shake off the formation in this battle, so he sent someone back to Jiangling in advance and brought Liu Ye here.

Wu Fan spent a lot of effort to explore the mysterious formation discovered by Zhuge Liang. However, because Zhuge Liang did a very good job of keeping confidentiality, he did not disclose to anyone except himself that the meticulous work sent to Sun Jian's army naturally did not get any useful information.

That's not all. Even Wu Fan's training thrush flew to Sun Jian's military camp before dawn every day and came back after night. After several days of interaction, he still did not bring back any useful information to Wu Fan.

The reason is that Huamei is not as smart as human beings after all. Zhuge Liang's camp was no different from other generals and ministers, so Huamei didn't know where to fly. She ran around Sun Jian's military camp every day and came back to complain to Wu Fan at night. She suffered a lot of crimes, but she didn't get any information.

Wu Fan had a headache about this, and Liu Ye came to Hefei at this time.

After receiving Liu Ye, the two of them politely spoke, and then Wu Fan went straight to the point and asked how Liu Ye's cracking formation was progressing. As a result, due to the haste, Liu Ye's cracking work had not been completed.

This was actually under Wu Fan's expectation. Because according to the cracking time given by Liu Ye at that time, it was indeed not reached the expected number of days at this time, and it was completely reasonable that Liu Ye did not complete the cracking.

However, Liu Ye is a professional talent in the formation mechanism after all. Although it is still early, Liu Ye's cracking work has been carried out to about three-quarters, which is a little earlier than the original plan.

This should have been a delightful news, but Wu Fan could not be happy because the battle of Hefei was imminent.

The cracking work has been carried out to three-quarters. Will this help you to see through Zhuge Liang’s formation?

Wu Fan had no idea.

...

Two days later, the date of surrender agreed upon by Huang Gai and Cao Cao quietly came in the calmness of the surface.

Since Sun Jian's army's fire attack plan has been seen, a fierce battle will be staged on the Hefei River tonight

Although I don’t know where Zhuge Liang will cast the formation, it is an excellent opportunity to defeat Sun Jian’s main naval force; if I missed tonight, I may never encounter such a god-given opportunity again.

Therefore, Wu Fan still decided to take risks and make no other decision. As long as he could annihilate Sun Jian's nearly 400,000 naval troops, Jiangdong was just around the corner.

To this end, Wu Fan had already made relevant arrangements in advance, including withdrawing personnel from the air-water village, leaving some target ships, and mobilizing troops to 50 miles upstream and downstream with Hefei as the center point. However, when the water village was in flames, they immediately crossed the river, surrounded the military camps of Sun Jian and Shuidang, and so on.

Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun also made corresponding arrangements for their legions.

Of course, all deployments are carried out in secret. The same is true for Sun Jianjun. So, this period of time was calm on the surface, but in the dark, there was a murderous intent.

When making relevant deployments, there was someone who gave Wu Fan a headache, then

It's Xiao Qiao.

The purpose of Xiao Qiao coming here was to see the real ancient war with his own eyes. After finally traveling through time, Wu Fan was also surrounded by him. Under such unique conditions, Xiao Qiao's idea is understandable.

Because Wu Fan is from the same world as Xiao Qiao, he inevitably has a special affinity for Xiao Qiao. After getting along for a long time on weekdays, his relationship is still very good. Although Wu Fan has a headache about Xiao Qiao's request, he can only find a way to satisfy it as much as possible.

Wu Fan's headache is naturally Xiao Qiao's personal safety problem. Xiao Qiao's martial arts is extremely low, only 10, and even an ordinary soldier can easily kill her. When the two armies were fighting fiercely, they had arrows, locusts, and swords and guns. If there was a slight mistake, Xiao Qiao would basically be "dead".

Therefore, Wu Fan advised Xiao Qiao not to see any ancient wars with his own eyes and stay in the Hefei City Crude. I can't just tell you later.

But Xiao Qiao didn't do it, and said with a pouting mouth:

"You can say that Shan Tianfang is so nice? I'm tired of Shan Tianfang's storytelling. As the saying goes, seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. Finally, I have such a chance. I must take a look at it with my own eyes."

Wu Fan had no choice but to let Xiao Qiao stay by his side and follow him all the time, otherwise don’t blame me, the elder brother, for not protecting you.

Wu Fan is now the first-rank general, and is the leader of the world's largest legion. There is no need to lead the way to kill the enemy like before. Moreover, a large number of generals under him are sharpening their swords and waiting for this big battle to kill the enemy and make contributions. He should also leave them some opportunities appropriately.

Here, if it weren't for some unexpected situation, it would be safe for Xiao Qiao to stay with Wu Fan.

Seeing that Wu Fan finally agreed to his request, Xiao Qiao raised the corner of her mouth proudly and said:

"I knew you would promise me."

Wu Fan asked in confusion:

"How did you know?"

Xiao Qiao smiled mysteriously and said:

"Women's intuition."

Wu Fan was very disdainful of this.

However, it is said that women are emotional animals, but intuition is stronger than men who tend to be rational.

Therefore, Wu Fan could only express his dissatisfaction with disdain.

...

The night is as cool as water.

In this chilly season, the arrival of night is often accompanied by a deep chill.

At midnight, it was the time when Huang Gai agreed to surrender to Cao's army. Wu Fan sat on the platform temporarily built by the Hanzhai Army camp and looked at the water camp on the river front.

There are many torches in the water village as usual. Although they cannot be seen as clearly as during the day, they can still see a general outline. Including the closed water village gate, they can also be seen vaguely.

When you are in a high place, the coldness is even stronger. However, the high platform where Wu Fan is located is surrounded by heavy curtains, and there are many charcoal stoves around him, and they are wearing tiger-skinned robes. Therefore, not only does not have any chills, but it is quite warm.

Xiao Qiao sat next to Wu Fan and also wore a tiger-skinned robe, wrapping her petite body in the robe. Like Wu Fan, Xiao Qiao was also watching.

The water camp on the riverside was more anxious than Wu Fan. From time to time, he asked Wu Fan, "Why haven't Huang Gai come yet?", "Did he not come if he has something to do?" Wu Fan was speechless when asked.

Sitting on the other side of Wu Fan was Liu Ye. He was the only civil servant Wu Fan brought by him this time, and he was a member of his elder brother Cao Cao, so he naturally had to give him some preferential treatment. Moreover, no matter what, Liu Ye said, he always had some understanding of the mysterious formation. At the critical moment, if Zhuge Liang really activated the formation, maybe Liu Ye could point it out.

At this time, Liu Ye was looking at a bundle of unfolded bamboo slips in his hand, shaking his head from time to time, or nodding, and lifting up the pen to mark something on it.

The drawing on the bamboo slip is naturally the analysis of the formation on the stone table. Liu Ye is a standard formation nerd. After obtaining this mysterious formation, he can be said to have to eat and sleep all the time, and he has to study it for a while when he has free time. At this time, although the battle between Sun and Cao's armies is about to be fought, Liu Ye is still unable to stay idle.

Wu Fan smiled at Liu Ye who was extremely focused, turned around and looked towards the river. Suddenly, a fleet of ships could be seen vaguely leaning up at the gate of the Shuizhai Village.

Huang Gai is here...
Chapter completed!
