"Wait. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Looking at Wubao in front of him, Xiao Ming gave an order.

At this time, a figure who seemed to be the leader appeared on the wall of Wubao, and they were looking at the Qingzhou army reinforced below.

At this time, Chen Fu pointed to the man on the city wall and said: "Your Highness, this person is Liu Chuang, the leader of this gang of bandits, his father participated in the conspiracy of the lotus pond against His Royal Highness, after the defeat, the last general led the Cangzhou army to take Liujiawu Fort by surprise and killed most of the Liu family's tribes, but still let this Liu Chuang run away." ”

The dazzling sunlight made Xiao Ming's eyes narrow, and after the barbarians in the lotus pond were exterminated, the news was blocked, and at the same time, Xiao Ming ordered the arrest of the wealthy clans who participated in the rebellion.

At that time, many wealthy families were exterminated by the army before they could react, and if the Liu family had been on guard at that time, this Wubao would not have been taken by the Cangzhou army so easily.

According to Lu Fei, at that time, Chen Fu also used the method of combining the inside and the outside, pretending to send people to buy grain in Wubao, and suddenly made a surprise at the gate of Wubao to capture this Wubao.

Unexpectedly, a month later, this Wubao was taken back by the Liu family in the same way.

"The old way, it's better to persuade them to delay time first, so that they can be unprepared."

This gang of bandits is different from the Sun family or the Wang family, it is fashionable and can be persuaded to surrender, and this gang of bandits is still resisting after they have exterminated the barbarians for so long, which shows that they have the idea of fighting him to the death.

And it is estimated that all of the bandits in this rebellion are the children of the Hao family, unlike the Wang family and the Sun family, there are many servants in it, these servants are dissatisfied with the Hao family itself, but they are just coerced by the Hao family, and it is easy to persuade them to surrender.

These sons of the wealthy clan are different, and persuasion will not have an effect on them.

Chen Fu answered, and before he came out of the battle, he began to shout to the bandits on the city tower, which meant nothing more than common words such as surrender and not killing.

But before he could finish speaking, a sharp arrow suddenly shot down from the city gate and stuck diagonally at his feet.

Niu Ben glanced at the city tower and said, "There are masters in this gang of bandits, and they can shoot arrows so far. ”

After estimating the distance between the city tower and Chen Fu, it was at least two hundred and thirty meters, and even if the range of the barbarians' bows and arrows was only about one hundred and eighty meters, it could be seen that there was an archer with amazing arm strength on it.

Then, Niu Ben suddenly said to Lu Fei: "Go and get my bow and arrows." ”

Luo Xin smiled when he heard this: "This gang of bandits dares to get an axe in front of the old general, who doesn't know that the old general's bow and arrow is a must for the forbidden army." ”

"I haven't practiced for five years, and I don't know how it is now, just don't lose face in front of His Highness." Niu Ben said, but everyone could hear the confidence in his mouth.

Xiao Ming said with a smile: "The old general's archery method is famous all over the world, please!" ”

Niu Ben nodded, and then took the bow and arrow from Lu Fei's hand, unlike other Qingzhou Army archers, the bow and arrow in Niu Ben's hand was obviously much thicker, and at a glance, he knew that it would take a lot of strength to pull.

At this time, I saw that Niu Ben did not get off the horse, and directly bent the bow and arrow on the horse, and with a "whoosh" sound, the bow and arrow flew out as quickly as lightning.

Before everyone could react, a scream suddenly sounded from the city gate, and the archers who had just provoked fell from the city gates, with arrows stuck straight in their chests.

"Good!" Lu Fei and Luo Xin shouted at the same time.

Chen Fu was dumbfounded, he didn't know who this cow man was, after all, this Niu Ben hadn't been here for a few days, and he couldn't get it in Cangzhou.

And the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army also showed surprise on their faces at this time, when the veteran first came, many soldiers were not convinced, after all, in their eyes, Lu Fei was the commander of the Qingzhou Army. ’

Now that it has been seized by such a person who has never seen it before, many people are unhappy in their hearts.

But at this time, they realized that His Royal Highness King Qi really didn't use people from Hu.

The corners of Xiao Ming's mouth rose slightly, after two bad news in a row, his mood finally improved, at least the old general Niu Ben lived up to his reputation, and dealing with the barbarian cavalry was equivalent to having a strong general.

The bandits at the city gate were obviously frightened by Niu Ben's move, and the few people who showed their heads immediately hid behind the battlements.

Generally speaking, the range of the bow and arrow is basically about 180 meters, and the effective range is basically about 120 meters, within this effective range, the bow and arrow can effectively kill the enemy, and this is still a projectile, and the power of the bow and arrow lies in the projectile.

Niu Ben can use the throwing ** to kill the enemy at this distance, this is the real horror, without decades of practice, it is impossible to do it.

However, it can also be seen from this that Niu Ben's arm strength is different from ordinary people.

"How? If you want me to say, the bow and arrow are much more powerful than the crossbow. Luo Xin said at this time: "Your Highness, you are equipped with crossbows in large quantities in the Qingzhou army, not bows and arrows, I don't agree with this." ”

Niu Ben handed the bow and arrow to Lu Fei at this time, snorted and said: "Your father doesn't know how to teach you, His Royal Highness is right to equip a large number of crossbow arrows in the army, this archer also needs at least three or five years of training before he can go to the battlefield, and this single crossbow only needs a little training, the crossbow is much more useful than the bow and arrow when defending the city, and within a short distance, the strength of this crossbow arrow is greater than that of the bow and arrow, and it shoots accurately." ”

Luo Xin was scolded, and Lu Fei was stealing music on the side, looking gloating.

In fact, he didn't understand Xiao Ming's approach at first, but then he gradually came back to his senses, and now that the barbarians were about to go south, they didn't have time to train archers.

"The old general is right, this king is also thinking about this, and in two days you will see something more powerful than bows and arrows, bed crossbows, and catapults." Xiao Ming bought a pass.

When Niu Ben heard this, he was surprised: "Is this the reason why His Royal Highness is busy in the Instrument Department these days?" ”

"Exactly, it would be safer for the old general to dismount at that time." Xiao Ming joked.

The bandits in Wubao are already like turtles in an urn, and they obviously didn't expect that even the Qingzhou army would be dispatched in large numbers for a Wubao, let alone that they would be killed because they inadvertently robbed the cement.

Three days later, a carriage, escorted by cavalry, slowly entered the makeshift barracks stationed outside Ubao.

In the past three days, the Qingzhou army and the bandits were basically persuaded to surrender, and they were scolded back by the bandits, and the bows and arrows of both sides were fired indiscriminately, and Niu Ben went out to kill a few archers of the other side.

The ladder in the barracks was also ready, but he didn't want to lose the soldiers to internal friction.

And this Wubao had to be taken, because not only did it contain cement, but it also occupied the main transportation route, which posed a great threat to Cangzhou's logistics.

"Your Highness, the artillery has arrived." Chen Qi arrived with twelve craftsmen from the Instrument Division.

Looking at the cannons wrapped in layers on the carriage, Xiao Ming smiled happily and said to Niu Ben: "Old general, this is the king's secret weapon." ”
