At this moment, Chen Ping was a little disheartened.
He looked a little disappointed.
Just imagine, as long as Liu Bang knelt down and apologized, he could survive. However, Liu Bang refused and went back to the military camp without caring about his life or death.
Such a master must be a little cold-hearted no matter what.
Wang Can smiled faintly and said: "Chen Ping, with your intelligence, do you know Liu Bang's character now? I think back then, Liu Bang did not hesitate to risk the lives of his parents in order to win; think back then, Liu Bang did not hesitate to push his son down in order to escape.
carriage."
"As an outsider, how can you compare to Liu Bang's parents, wife and children?"
"Obviously, you can't compare."
"In your heart, you are also hoping that Liu Bang will kneel down and at least save your life. If it really comes to that point, if you die for Liu Bang, it will be considered a well-deserved death."
"But what now?"
Wang Can clicked his tongue and shook his head, saying: "You fought for him through life and death, but what you got in return is such indifference. Chen Ping, I feel worthless for you. Although you are a genius, you are also blind."
Chen Ping's cheek twitched slightly.
His eyes were filled with anger, and he didn't want to hear Wang Can's words that made matters worse. But his mouth was blocked and he couldn't speak.
"Boom! Boom!"
The sound of war drums suddenly sounded from outside the city.
Xia Houying mobilized his troops and began to approach the city tower in Luo County.
When Wang Can heard the sound of war drums and saw the moving army, he raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Did you see that? Liu Bang couldn't help but start a war? He didn't care about your life or death at all, he just started a war."
"Seeing you moving around the city, I also know why Liu Bang didn't start a war before."
"The reason is simply to wait for you to operate."
"If your operation is successful, Liu Bang can take Luo County without any effort, and then put down the rebellion in Guanghan County. But now, you are in my hands, and Liu Bang has lost his bargaining chip."
"Even though it is difficult for Liu Bang to attack with force, he can only attack with force."
Wang Can said: "Chen Ping, are you cold-hearted?"
"Ah! Ah!!"
Chen Ping struggled, his throat was swollen and making noises, but he couldn't speak.
Wang Can said: "I am saying this not because of anything else, but because I feel unfair to you. You have sacrificed countless things, but in return, you are silent and ignored. Huh, boring!"
Chen Ping's eyes widened, filled with anger.
But no matter how angry it was, there was no way to silence Wang Can.
Peng Yue came to Wang Can's side and said seriously: "Your Majesty, Xia Houying has brought catapults, crash carts and other equipment to attack the city. It seems that they are preparing to attack by force. They are already less than two hundred steps away from us.
.”
Wang Can said: "Peng Qing, after you surrendered to me, this is your first tough battle. I will leave it to you to command this battle. I am on the tower, only roaming and fighting."
"Here!"
Peng Yue responded with clasped fists.
He turned around and left to gather his soldiers to prepare for the battle.
Wang Can looked at Chen Ping, who was glaring angrily but with tears in his eyes, and stopped talking. He waved his hand and called the soldiers to take Chen Ping down.
When the war breaks out later, if Chen Ping stays on the battlefield and is not careful about getting injured, it will be a big loss.
Although Chen Ping has not surrendered yet.
But after killing Liu Bang and without Liu Bang around, Wang Can believed that Chen Ping would surrender.
At this moment, the Han army outside the city was getting closer and closer.
Three hundred steps!
Two hundred steps!
When the distance was reduced to a hundred steps, Peng Yue had already ordered on the tower: "Archers, prepare!"
In an instant, the archers were bowed one by one.
On the top of the city, there were a total of three thousand archers, all with their bows and arrows aimed at the outside of the city.
Among these soldiers, there are not many real marksmen, most of them just know how to use bows and crossbows. But in the current big-scale fighting, you don't need a crosshair, you just need to shoot arrows into the crowd.
"shoot!"
Peng Yue roared.
In an instant, a whistling sound was heard breaking through the air.
Bows and arrows flew out from the top of the city, and then drew an arc in the air, heading towards the direction of the Han soldiers.
Thousands of bows and arrows were in the air, like a rain of arrows.
This scene is extremely shocking.
Although Xia Houying did not charge from the front, he saw the arrows being fired, and a touch of disdain rose on his face.
It would be too naive to try to stop his army with just bows and arrows.
it's out of the question.
All the soldiers charging on the front line were seen holding their shields above their heads, forming a shield formation.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Continuous crashing sounds were heard, like rain hitting plantains. Although the bows and arrows were densely packed, the force of the bows and arrows was not very strong. Once they landed on the shield, the force had already dissipated a lot, and they lost their lethality.
Round after round of arrow rain continued to fall. Even though the arrow rain was dense, it did not cause much damage to Xia Houying's army.
This scene fell into Wang Can's eyes.
Wang Can did not interfere with Peng Yue's command. He did admire Xia Houying for his ability to train charging soldiers to use shields to resist. Although this is what they should do, not every general can do it.
It's not easy!
However, Xia Houying did it, and he is worthy of being a famous general.
Wang Can watched quietly.
At this time, Peng Yue did not have the slightest panic, let alone the slightest nervousness. He calmly ordered: "Catapult, prepare!"
At this order, catapults were ready.
The catapult soldiers shuttled quickly one by one, then brought clay pots one by one, and quickly placed them on the catapult.
Every clay pot has a long fuse outside the seal, which is used to ignite it. Inside the clay pot, there is a gun made by the Ministry of Industry, which is the so-called sky thunder.
This is a big killer!
In fact, today's Liu Bang is located in Yizhou, which is too remote. I don't know that the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Song, etc. have already equipped it*
"ignition!"
The soldier in charge of the catapult in the army gave the order.
The soldiers responsible for lighting the fire quickly took the torch and lit it.
"Hey! Hey!"
* was ignited, sizzling, and the fire snake kept burning.
The clay pot flew across the sky and fell down in an instant.
When the clay pots hit the shields, the fuses had burned to the end.
"boom!"
A huge explosion suddenly sounded.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"
Continuous explosions, one after another, resounded among the attacking Han soldiers. These Han soldiers were all elite soldiers, but the sudden explosion shocked countless people.
Especially the tragic scene where the soldiers were dripping with blood and their bones and flesh were broken, frightened the Han soldiers into chaos immediately.
A stable formation suddenly fell into chaos.
To the Han soldiers, this was simply a punishment from God, a sign that God was angry.
The soldiers kept retreating one by one, panicking.
After the formation was in chaos, waves of bows and arrows fell and shot into the Han soldiers. Immediately, countless soldiers died tragically under the bows and arrows, and the Han soldiers fled in panic.
Xia Houying's first wave of offensive failed! (To be continued)
