The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 510
After returning to the handsome account, Yuan Shang immediately began to think about the strategy of subduing the iron convoy.

With mountains of iron implements and countless mules and horses, such a huge amount of military supplies would shock anyone.

Digging pits and setting fire to them are easy tactics, and the victory will be relatively simple, but the huge team of iron carts and the mules and horses pulling the carts will be useless. This is not what Yuan Shang wants to see!Those things were collected and extorted by Cheriji in the Western Regions for nearly ten years. To destroy them like this, wouldn't it trample on the blood and sweat of the people of the Western Regions and the fruits of Cheriji's labor?

Yuan Shang roughly had a plan in mind, but whether this plan can be realized depends on the ability of one person, and that person is Ma Jun.

When Ma Jun was captured by Zhang Xiu, there was almost no second word, and he surrendered without waiting for Yuan Shang to surrender. Su Pige killed all the people in Ma Jun's township during the food collection, and continued to exert high pressure on him. Ma Jun had long been afraid Knowing him even more, hating him to the core, being able to get out of his control and return to someone else's command is a good thing that fell from the sky for Ma Jun, so how can there be excuses?What's more, the person who wants to recruit him is still a first-class figure like Yuan Shang. In normal times, if I want to follow Yuan Shang, I'm afraid I won't be able to rank him.

Summoning Ma Jun to his tent, Yuan Shang presented his plan to Ma Jun.

"You want me to go to Cheriji's camp to feign surrender?" Hearing Yuan Shang's words, Ma Jun's face turned pale. Obviously, Ma Jun is not specialized in such dangerous matters as false surrender.

Yuan Shang nodded and said: "Yes, I know this is very difficult for you, but I can't think of letting you go if it is someone else, but at present, in our army, only the one who can understand mechanical things you alone."

Hearing the words, Ma Jun hesitated for a long time, finally nodded, and said: "If you have any orders from the general, just tell me, and I will do everything."

Yuan Shang said to Ma Jun: "Before explaining the plan, please tell me, is there any way for you to transform Cherridge's iron caravan so that his iron car can increase its combat effectiveness in a short period of time, but once it runs for a long time, it will appear Some unavoidable... out-of-control or damage-like accident?... I mean, you know."

Ma Jun blinked his eyes, thought for a while, and said: "I don't know for sure without seeing the real thing, but the engineering skills, the extremes of things, all have their own unique principles and contexts, and there are disadvantages and disadvantages." If you can use it, it will be beneficial. If you let me see the real thing, it shouldn’t be difficult to make some modifications to complete the general’s vision.”

Yuan Shang nodded gratifiedly when he heard the words, and said: "If that's the case, well, you can listen to me, and I'll tell you. If you go to feign surrender this time, it should be like this..."

Cherage's camp.

"Ma Jun to vote? Who is Ma Jun?"

Beside Cheriji, the Prime Minister Yadan seemed to have a thorough grasp of Yongliang's recent situation, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Ma Jun is a talented person who was recruited by Song Jian recently, and he is the best at fortifications. In Huaili City, he helped the Song Dynasty to build catapults, bed crossbows, continuous crossbows, etc., and once firmly rejected Yuan Shang, he is a strange person."

"Oh?" Cherage was taken aback when he heard the words, blinked and said: "Is there such a person in the world? Interesting! Since he is a strange person, let him come to the handsome tent to meet me!"

"promise."

When he was young, Ma Jun was recruited into the commander's tent, and saluted Cherigi.

Cheriji beckoned to let Ma Jun lie down, then looked him up and down, and said: "Ma Jun, I heard that Song Jian's soldiers and horses were maimed by Yuan Shang in Huaili City, and they went to and fro. If you don't come, why did you suddenly appear here?"

Hearing this, Ma Jun said with emotion: "In the battle of Huaili City, Yuan Jun was as powerful as a broken bamboo. He scattered our soldiers and horses, and fled as ordinary soldiers. He lost contact with King Song. He was alone and helpless. Your Majesty is not here, but I heard that your Majesty is fighting Yuan Shang here, so I came here to seek refuge."

Hearing this, Cheriji suddenly realized that there was nothing missing in Ma Jun's words, and the generals of the Qiang nationality had no doubts.

Cherage looked Ma Jun up and down a few times, and suddenly said: "Ma Jun, I heard that you are a master of craftsmen, and the strange and ingenious tools you made are incomparably powerful, and have defeated Yuan Shang?"

Hearing this, Ma Jun shook his hands hurriedly, saying: "Don't dare, dare not, it's just a fluke."

"Hugh is too modest!"

"Since the king said so, then it is."

Cherage waved his hand and said, "Okay! If that's the case, then let's do it. There is an army of iron chariots under my king's tent. It is a heavy chariot team made of iron tools. It is extremely powerful. This king will use this army soon." Confronting Yuan Shang, since you are a master of engineering, follow me to have a look and see how powerful it is?"

Hearing this, Ma Jun nodded hurriedly, and then followed Cheriki out of the tent.

When I came to the place where the iron chariots formed in Tunza in Cheriji, all I could see were dazzling heavy chariots, which were pulled by mules, horses or camels. It looked powerful and shocking.

As Ma Jun walked, he walked in, studied and observed carefully, and listened to Cherridge's introduction, and he probably had an idea of ​​the iron car in his heart.

After Cherigi finished his introduction, he immediately laughed and asked Ma Jun, "Mr. Ma, in your opinion, what about my iron chariot army?"

Ma Jun smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty's iron chariot army is rare in ancient and modern times. It has a huge lineup. Its power is unparalleled in both attack and defense. This kind of chariot formation is not to mention the Guanzhong Army formed by Yuan Shang to accommodate soldiers and horses from all sides. Even if he confronts the Wuji Battalion in Hebei and the Ma family cavalry head-on, it will not be shaken!"

After hearing this, Cherage was in a great mood and couldn't help laughing.

Beside Cherigi, Prime Minister Yadan was a sensible person, and said: "Mr. Ma, don't pick up nice words, we are also aware of the disadvantages of this armored chariot army. Since you are an expert in weapons, how can you not know the meaning of this thing?" Disadvantage?"

Hearing this, Ma Jun sighed: "As Prime Minister Yadan said, although this thing is powerful, it is made of iron and weighs too much. It is carried by many mules and horses. The speed is still a little slow. The most important thing It’s because of the lack of agility, it’s not a problem to go straight ahead, but if you run left and right, run from east to west, and use various tactics, it’s probably still a bit difficult.”

Cherage nodded upon hearing that.

Prime Minister Yadan showed admiration, and said: "Since this is the case, then I don't know if Mr. Ma has a plan for improvement?"

Ma Jun thought for a while, and said: "If you want to change the agility of a heavy vehicle, the key point is to focus on the axle and base. If you carefully measure the bottom of the car and the axle beam, and then change the keel, it may increase its flexibility. flexibility."

Cheriki looked at Yadan hesitantly, but Yadan stroked his beard and did not speak.

Ma Jun thought for a while, and said: "If your majesty is worried, you might as well let me modify one or two hundred vehicles first. If it is usable after it is put into the battlefield, it will not be too late to remodel it!"

Hearing the words, Cherage finally nodded slowly in agreement.

××××××××××××××××××××
Seven days later, the Yuan family and the Cheriji army were ready to go. The two sides made an appointment to fight in Pingyuan, and the first battle started.

Among the Yuan army, the generals Pang De and Zhang Xiu led the elite soldiers and horses to set up the formation first, and set up a confrontation with Cheriji.

Under Pound's command, Yuan Jun took the lead and charged towards Cheriji's iron chariot army first!

According to Pound's arrangement, Yuan Jun's crossbowmen stood first on the battlefield and released a huge rain of arrows in the air. The overwhelming rain of arrows shot towards the iron chariot formation, in order to achieve a preemptive effect.

The dreadful arrow rain formation that usually makes people feel frightened, hits the iron car formation at this moment, it is like showing off, almost without embarrassment, those Qiang who rely on the thickness of the iron car and the protection of the iron shield The sergeant, after avoiding the rain of arrows, faced the stunned Yuan Jun, and smiled presumptuously in the car.

Marshal Yue Ji, the number one general under Cherrigi's command, stood on a cart in the middle, baring his teeth and claws at Yuan Jun's soldiers arrogantly, intending to despise them!
When I was young, I saw Marshal Yueji wave his machete in his hand, and in the central formation of the Qiang army, countless iron carts roared, and bee chrysalis came out like a torrent of armored armor, forming a long line, and facing Yuan Jun like a rolling plate. Rolled over.

"Kill!"

Amidst the hoarse shouts, the Iron Chariot Army formed a dense attack formation, using all kinds of cast iron weapons, to attack Yuan Jun, like a torrent of steel and flesh, roaring, rolling, shouting, Unstoppable, Yuan Jun was forced to retreat step by step.

Facing such an indestructible and seamless formation of iron chariots, Yuan Jun, whether it was infantry or cavalry crossbowmen, could not find a breakthrough, and could only be driven by the iron chariots of the Qiang soldiers to retreat all the way, retreating again and again.

"Change! Divert! Divert and retreat!"

The iron chariot army came rolling towards Yuan Jun in a straight line. When Yuan Jun retreated to avoid difficulties, Pound immediately ordered all the sergeants to change the line of defense, changing from the original straight line retreat to turning to the left.

At this moment, the disadvantages of the Iron Chariot Army were undoubtedly revealed. It was easy for Yuan Jun to change direction and retreat, but it took a lot of effort for the Iron Chariot Army to change direction once. It was several cars that tossed and tossed and collided with each other back and forth.

All of a sudden, the retreating Yuan Jun sent the Tieche Army far away!

Cherridge, who was watching from the rear, turned red.

This iron chariot army is good at everything, but it is too difficult to change direction when charging, making the car turn a corner is like letting the car take a big roof, no matter how you do it, it will not work.

"Your Majesty, look over there!" Prime Minister Yadan shouted in surprise.

Following the roar of Prime Minister Yadan, Cheriji looked in that direction, and saw that in the iron chariot army, there were about 100 strange iron chariots that had quickly turned around the curve, and were chasing behind Yuan Jun at a very fast speed. , Its turning maneuverability and washing speed are obviously far superior to other iron cars. Compared with most of the iron cars that are still spinning and flashing red lights, they are obviously outstanding.

Cherridge was overjoyed when he saw this!
"That is how the matter?"

Prime Minister Yadan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, those are the hundred iron wagons that Ma Jun remodeled. This kid is really talented. The speed and mobility of the wagons he remodeled have been greatly enhanced, completely making up for the shortcomings of the iron wagons." If the clans follow his method to transform all the iron chariots, our iron chariot battle array will definitely sweep the world, not to mention the little Yongliang, it is not impossible to compete for the Han Dynasty!"
