Outside the city, the army lined up.

Wang Can was dressed in golden armor, riding on a black horse, his expression was cold, his eyes were like knives, and he was wearing a black cloak behind him, looking up at the soldiers on the tower of Baocheng City, his eyes flashing with Taoist light. Behind him, the Hanzhong soldiers led by Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang looked serious. As for the wolf tooth soldiers led by Lu Meng, they stayed with Guo Jia to protect Guo Jia's safety.

Baocheng, on the city tower.

A young general pressed the hilt of his sword with his left hand, his expression was grim, and his body leaned forward slightly, looking at the scene outside the city.

He opened his eyes wide and looked at the black Hanzhong army outside the city, with a worried look on his face. He suddenly looked back at the gentry who were standing in all directions of the city tower, and saw the resentful gaze flashing in everyone's eyes, and the young general felt a chill down his spine and sweat on his forehead, for fear of being eaten alive by these gentry clans.

"General, look, there's a siege engine coming outside the city."

To the left of the young general, a soldier holds a spear in his left hand and points out of the city with his right, with a look of fear in his eyes.

The young general looked around and saw ten siege vehicles standing outside the city, with hundreds of pounds of boulders on the siege vehicles, ready to be thrown to the city tower at any time.

Seeing this, the young general couldn't help but tremble.

Outside the city tower, in front of Wang Can's army.

A scout rode his horse to Wang Can's side, turned over and dismounted, and arched his hand: "My lord, Master Mo of the craftsman's workshop sent someone to send ten siege vehicles, and each siege vehicle has ten craftsmen who are responsible for throwing big stones to attack the city. ”

Wang Can pondered for a moment and asked, "How accurate is it?" ”

The scout only got the news, and he didn't know much about the specific situation, so he hurriedly beckoned and summoned a craftsman who threw a large stone to explain it to Wang Can.

When the craftsman came over, the scout told Wang Can about his question, and the craftsman arched his hand and said, "My lord, all of us are familiar with it, and we are nine percent sure that there will be no deviation in the direction of the city tower. And from here, a large stone is thrown to attack the city, and it is thrown to the city tower without the slightest deviation. Please rest assured, I waited for a hundred people, and we have been practicing for a long time, and there will be no errors. ”

The craftsmen repeated it several times, and they all said that they could do it and that they could not make mistakes.

Wang Can nodded and said, "Okay, immediately aim at the young general in the center of the city tower and shoot him, and smash him to death for me." ”

"No!"

The craftsman's expression was a little restrained, and he clenched his fists and shouted, and then turned to leave.

In the blink of an eye, ten siege engines began to move.

This siege vehicle is actually based on the simplest lever principle, which uses the lever principle to throw a large rock placed at one end of the siege vehicle onto the castle tower. However, the real test level is eyesight, you must rely on eyesight to correct the right direction, just like using a rifle to aim and shoot, not the strength of the bullet to shoot out the bullet boring, but also to aim at the position on the city tower that needs to be thrown, in order to be able to throw the boulder.

A siege vehicle is equipped with ten people, but there are four craftsmen who calibrate the direction of projection. After the calibration of four people, the boulder can be projected.

"Put!"

With a loud shout, a large stone that was firmly placed at the end of the siege engine was thrown out.

After the boulder breaks through the air, the speed is very fast, and the strength is so great that it cannot block the thrown boulder at all.

"Whew! Shout! ……”

In an instant, ten large stones weighing hundreds of pounds were thrown out like cannonballs and smashed towards the tower of Baocheng City. In the blink of an eye, the boulder was already approaching the tower. At this moment, the young general who was in charge of garrisoning Baocheng saw the big stone shooting in the direction where he was standing, and he also panicked and hurriedly fled.

When the boulder fell, it was impossible to resist at all, so it could only dodge, and it was impossible to fight back.

"Boom!"

The first boulder fell on the castle tower, and a large pit was smashed into the castle tower.

The young general wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, stood on the city tower, and clearly felt that the ground of the city tower shook slightly. When he turned around and saw the place where the boulder fell, there was a foot of dust splashed and gravel flying everywhere, the young general's cheeks twitched unconsciously, there was such a siege weapon, but Wang Can did not choose to attack the city, but waited until Yan Yan left before attacking the city, isn't this bullying him?

"Boom!"

Bursts of roars rang out, and boulders kept falling.

Every big stone falls, it falls in the direction of the young general's escape, forcing the young general to run around on the city tower. Suddenly, a piece of gravel splashed out and smashed directly on the young general's forehead, and the huge force instantly grazed the skin on the young general's forehead, and the blood immediately flowed out, staining his cheeks red.

Not only that, but his forehead was even more red and swollen, and the pain was incomparable.

In a quarter of an hour, a large number of soldiers were smashed on the tower, and the ground of the tower was smashed beyond recognition.

After being hit by a boulder, even if there were soldiers who survived, their arms or thighs were crushed under the boulders, and they could not move, so they could only lie on the ground and howl.

Outside the city tower, the craftsman who was in charge of throwing the big stones quickly ran to Wang Can and said, "My lord, the big stones that have been transported have been used up, and we can't continue to attack the city with the big stones." When the craftsman spoke, his expression was a little afraid, after all, using siege engines to attack the city was too powerful and the effect was too obvious. Suddenly, there was no supply of boulders, and there was no guarantee that Wang Can would be angry.

Wang Can's expression was indifferent, and he ordered: "Since this is the case, then retreat!" ”

"No!"

The craftsman wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly retreated.

Wang Can smiled slightly and ordered, "Go, let Lu Meng come up with wolf teeth!" ”

"No!"

When the soldier heard this, he immediately went to convey the order. In a short time, Lu Meng had already rushed to the front of the army with a hundred wolf fangs. Lu Meng bowed to Wang Can and bowed: "The last general, Lu Meng, meet the general!" ”

Wang Can nodded and ordered: "Use crossbow arrows to shoot the Yizhou soldiers defending on the city tower." ”

"The last general obeys!"

Lu Meng clenched his fists and shouted, then turned to convey the order. A hundred young soldiers, divided into two rows, took out their crossbows from their backs and aimed them at the soldiers on the tower.

At this moment, on the city tower, the young general with blood on his forehead and an embarrassed look changed greatly.

He has also been in the army for a few years and knows how powerful crossbow arrows are. Suddenly, I saw a hundred young men in armor holding crossbow arrows, standing outside the city ready to shoot, and immediately panicked.

With his head shrunk, he leaned against the city wall and shouted, "Get down, get down!" ”

The voice of the junior general kept echoing in the castle tower, and although many soldiers heard it, not all of them obeyed the junior general's orders, and many soldiers still stuck their heads out to see what was happening outside the city.

As soon as his head was sticking out, he heard a crossbow arrow burst through the air.

A hundred people fired, and at once five hundred crossbow arrows were fired.

Each crossbow is different from a bow and arrow, which is longer, thicker, sharper, and much more powerful than a bow and arrow.

Five hundred crossbow arrows fell like a rain of arrows under black pressure, and the soldiers who had just stretched out their heads to look at them had no chance to retreat, and all of them were shot into their bodies by the crossbow arrows.

The crossbow arrow shot at the armor with a crisp sound, and a huge force was transmitted from the crossbow arrow, which instantly pierced the armor, and the arrow pierced through the soldier's body like flesh and blood. There was a burst of crossbow arrows, and more than 100 soldiers were hit by the crossbow arrows and collapsed to the ground, groaning incessantly. Blood flowed out of his body, forming pools of blood on the castle towers, emitting a disgusting fishy smell.

Crossbow bolts kept firing, and countless soldiers were killed.

For a time, there was wailing and morale on the city tower.

In fact, this is also the lack of coping ability of the young generals in charge of defending the city, and when Wang Can sent the young soldiers under Lu Meng's command to shoot crossbow arrows, he should immediately organize the soldiers to shoot with bows and arrows. The 100 young soldiers under Wang Can's command were different from the big soldiers on the city tower, they were all trained with great effort, and it was impossible to shoot at the soldiers on the city tower.

About a quarter of an hour later, Wang Can stopped shooting crossbow arrows, and Lü Meng immediately retreated with the young soldiers.

Wang Can had a sneer on his face and ordered, "Zhou Cang, let the soldiers shoot the prepared bows and arrows into the city." ”

"No!"

Zhou Cang let out a loud shout and conveyed the order.

In an instant, one by one, the soldiers stood up with grim expressions. The soldiers were armed with war bows and arrows, and a silk silk was tied to the bow and arrows, on which was written Wang Can's letter of persuasion. I only heard Zhou Cang's order, and all the soldiers shot their bows and arrows to the city tower, and some bows and arrows were shot into the city and picked up by the people in the city.

There are not many bows and arrows, only a few hundred.

However, Wang Can believed that the contents of the silk were enough to shake the soldiers defending the city.

After a burst of bows and arrows, Wang Can did not continue to shoot arrows, and stopped to wait for the reaction from the city tower.

Bows and arrows fell on the tower, and the soldiers saw a silk silk tied to the bow and arrows, and hurriedly took the silk off. Some soldiers could not read big characters, so they asked the literate soldiers among the soldiers they knew well to read what was written on the silk. At this time, the soldiers on the city tower and the gentry were browsing the contents of the silk.

There is not much content on the silk, and its only purpose is to persuade people to surrender.

To the effect that Yan Yan led the army to leave Baocheng, and did not attack Wang Can, but ran towards Nanzheng, preparing to attack Nanzheng. Yan Yan led the troops to leave, he had already given up Baocheng, now Baocheng is a real lonely city, unable to continue to resist, Wang Can hopes to make the soldiers on the city tower surrender, not to make senseless sacrifices.

Sure enough, the gentry and soldiers on the city tower all showed thoughtful expressions after seeing it.

Among them, the heads of the three major clans glanced at each other and slowly walked towards the young general who was in charge of guarding the city.

The young general's vigilance was very high, and when he saw the three of them coming, he immediately shouted: "What are you doing?" Could it be that you want to rebel? ”

The three of them shook their heads in unison, and one of them on the right threw the sword in his hand on the ground in order to show his sincerity, and said, "General, I put down my weapon, it is enough to see my sincerity." Besides, our family members are still in the hands of the generals, how dare they rebel. As the saying goes, it doesn't hurt my wife and children, and I hope that the general will keep his promise and let our family members go after we die in battle. ”

The other two also threw away their weapons and nodded their heads.

However, the three of them did not stop and continued to walk towards the young general.

The young general saw that the three of them had dropped their long swords, and listened to the person on the right again, and his expression improved slightly. However, he still clenched the sword in his hand, nodded solemnly, and said loudly: "As long as you do your best to defend the city, I will keep my promise and let go of your family after the battle." ”

The three of them nodded in understanding.

At this time, the three of them had already walked to the young general's side.

The person standing on the right side of the speaker smiled and said, "General, you also understand the current situation, after Wang Can breaks the city, he will definitely kill the soldiers defending Baocheng. Therefore, the villain wants to ask the general to be accommodating, can he let go of one of the villain's sons first, and let go of one, leaving a trace of incense for the villain. In case Wang Can kills all the people, at least the villain's son can survive and continue the bloodline of the villain's family. ”

This guy is verbose, and he talks a lot, and the young generals are a little upset. He shook his head and refused, "No, you can't let any of them go." ”

"General, you can't be accommodating?"

The man began to speak again, and he opened his mouth to speak, but he kept winking at the other two.

The young general was impatient in his heart, raised his sword and pointed at the person on the right, and shouted: "If you chirp crookedly, I will order your whole family to be brought to the city tower, so that they can live and die with us." ”

"Yes, yes! The villain does not speak, does not speak. ”

He seemed to be afraid of the young general and kept his mouth shut.

However, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a sneer.
