Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 282
On the mountainside, only the felled wood was left bare. Liu Yu used the chopped bamboo to make flame bombs. Could it be that these woods have other magical uses as he said?

Soon Mengxin got the answer. Liu Yu used the principle of leverage to arrange the wood into the shape of a throwing cart.

A catapult is a catapult.

The catapult has been used as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is a kind of ancient chariot.

During the Battle of Guandu in history, Liu Ye, Cao Cao's counselor, proposed to use a catapult to break it when he saw Yuan Jun using a large siege equipment, the high scull.

The catapult is equipped with a mechanism, and the stones are thrown out. Because the sound is like thunder, it is also called the thunderbolt car.

Time was running out and Liu Yu would definitely not be able to let people make such a sophisticated thunderbolt car, but they had the advantage of the high ground, so they only needed to make a simple thrower that could throw bamboo tube flame bombs to the enemy camp at the foot of the mountain.

After the thrower was built, Liu Yu took people to the back of the mountain to do on-the-spot projection measurements. After calibrating the throwing distance, he began to ask people to mass-produce and build it according to this model.

Meng Xin is a person who has seen the world, and he has also seen the graphic of the catapult in the Meng family's family training, so at this moment he finally figured out Liu Yu's good strategy to defeat the enemy.

Use the catapult to throw bamboo tube flame bombs to the foot of the mountain!This plan is really wonderful, but how did Liu Yu come up with such a wild plan!
Seeing the simple catapults all over the mountainside, I was deeply moved by my confidence.

"Liu Yu is indeed a man of great wisdom. The same things are useless wood and bamboo in the eyes of ordinary people, but in Liu Yu's hands, they will become sharp weapons to kill the enemy!"

"This child is too miraculous. Min'er has a lot of good luck following her. Maybe in the future, it will be possible to find the secret of the Emperor Qin's underground palace relying on Min'er's relationship!"

Meng Xin still did not give up on finding the elixir recorded in the family motto, he really did not believe that Liu Yu not only suddenly became stronger in force, but also seemed to be a different person in terms of resourcefulness.

So when Mengxin saw the astonishing inventions of the bamboo tube flame bomb and the simple catapult, he became even more suspicious that Liu Yu should have encountered an adventure that had never been seen in the world.

And this adventure might have something to do with the fairy medicine hidden in the Emperor Qin's underground palace.

Seeing Meng Xin's earnest gaze, Liu Yu felt that the other party must have misunderstood him again. He really didn't know anything about Qinhuang's underground palace, and he hadn't taken any fairy medicine, because there is no fairy medicine in this world!

Regarding this matter, Liu Yu knew that it was useless to explain, so he could only change the topic to the present.

"Launchers and ammunition are ready, Meng Lao can order to fire!"

Meng Xin also knew that the opportunity to fight must not be lost, so he immediately called Qin Fu and Wang Han, and asked them to command the loading and launching.

It took only two cups of tea, and Qin Fu and Wang Han assembled their subordinates.

Most of these people participated in the assembly of bamboo tube flame bombs and catapults, and had also witnessed the power of burning black water.

Now the black water is packed in bamboo tubes. Although some people have seen the power of throwing cars, most people are still worried that the bamboo tube flame bombs will explode before being thrown.

Seeing the timid look of the soldiers, Liu Yu decided to go up and set an example for them in person.

"This throwing car is very simple to use, just pull it hard, and it will definitely be thrown out before the bamboo tube is completely burned!"

Speaking of which, Liu Yu walked to the front of the simple throwing car, clenched the rope tied to the front of the throwing arm with both hands, and then motioned Mengxin to light the bamboo tube flame bomb placed in the groove at the other end for him.

Meng Xin picked up the torch and lit the long fuse, at the same time Liu Yu quickly pulled the rope and fired the first shot.

I saw that under the action of the principle of leverage, the projectile arm easily ejected the bamboo tube flame bomb placed in one end into the midair.

Then the flame bomb that was ignited reached the highest point and began to fall rapidly.

When it fell close to the ground, the fuse just ignited the oil in the bamboo tube.

At this time, the evening was approaching, and the soldiers in the Niufu barracks were gathering together and chatting about what to eat for the evening.

Suddenly someone pointed to the sky and said there was a "fireball".

The falling speed of the fireball became faster and faster, and the brightness of the flame became more and more dazzling, just like "stars" falling from the sky.

"Boom..."

A thunderstorm sounded, and the "fireball" landed in the middle of the uninhabited camp. After the explosion, flames shot out and thick smoke billowed.

"What was that fireball just now?" A young soldier asked his companion with some fear.

"It can't be... a meteorite!" An old soldier about fifty years old said tremblingly.

Meteors are shooting stars. In ancient times, whenever a meteor passed across the night sky, it was believed that something bad would happen.

When the soldiers in the barracks heard that a meteorite had fallen to the ground, no one dared to step forward to put out the fire, and even the junior high school quickly notified Niu Fu to know.

When Niu Fu heard the news, he brought his deputy Dong Cheng to check. He personally took water to put out the fire but found that it was difficult to put it out.

"General, be careful, it's a meteor that fell to the ground, and it's a bad omen!" The old soldier stepped forward carefully to remind him.

When Niu Fu heard this, he sneered, "Don't talk nonsense and affect the morale of the army! It is recorded in the book that if the meteorite can really fall on the ground, it will definitely cause the earth to shake and the mountains will shake, and it will leave behind meteorites from the sky! How can it be like this... leaving bamboo fragments!"

After everyone listened to it, they leaned up to check, and there were really pieces of bamboo under the still burning flames!

Strange flames, strange bamboos, how did these things fly down from the sky?

Thinking of this, Niu Fu raised his head suspiciously, only to find a faint light suddenly appeared in the sky.

At this time the sun had not completely set, Niu Fu thought he was delusional, but soon the faint light became brighter and brighter.

"It's bad! Another meteor is about to fall to the ground, everyone be careful!" The old soldier still thought the fireball was a meteor, so he hid in fright.

After a bang, the fireball landed on the large tent of the Chinese army, and the ferocious flames splashed out, igniting Niu Fu's tent in the blink of an eye.

"Hurry... hurry up and put out the fire!" Niu Fu shouted to his subordinates, but found that besides the deputy general Dong Cheng who was still beside him, the other soldiers had already imitated the old soldiers and lay down on the ground.

"What are you doing? Get up and fight the fire!" Niu Fu was furious.

Dong Cheng pointed at the sky tremblingly and said: "The stars are falling like rain... General, I'm afraid something big will happen!"

After hearing Dong Cheng's words, Niu Fu raised his head again, this look made him feel bad.

I saw countless fireballs falling rapidly in the sky!
