The Sims: The Emperor Raising Project

Chapter 137
About an hour later.

Wuhuan's army stopped twenty miles north of Wangping.

Qiu Liju ordered the soldiers to set up camp, and then sent his confidant generals to Wangping City to persuade them to surrender.

Wu Li, the head of Wuhuan Wanfu, was ordered to ride his horse to the foot of Wangping City.

After Wu Li left, Qiu Liju led his army forward another fifteen miles and stopped five miles away from Wangping City.

After a long time.

Wu Li looked up at the top of Wangping City, and found that there was a faint look of panic on the faces of the guards and soldiers, and saw that there were only a few hundred defenders standing sparsely on the top of the city, and all of them looked disorganized. Immediately overjoyed, he said: "Your Excellency is really good at predicting things, we are doing calculations with our hearts and minds, and Wangping is not prepared enough, and it will be broken sooner or later."

Although Wu Li showed Wangping that he was determined to win, he still did not forget the mission that Qiu Liju entrusted to him. If he could conquer Wangping without bloodshed, he would be the first one, and he would be promoted soon.

Wu Li has absolute confidence in his martial arts, and the performance of Wangping's defenders is too hip, so Wu Li can't help but become proud and complacent. place of land.

Looking at the complacent Wu Li, Zhang Xun glanced sideways at Nan Jiyun beside him, and said, "The thief general is less than two hundred steps away from the city, can you shoot him with confidence?"

Nan Jiyun squinted his eyes slightly, silently calculated the distance between each other, then nodded slowly, and said: "If you can distract him a little, the success rate should be higher."

Hearing this, Zhang Xun nodded silently, and then walked forward, put his hands on the battlements, looked at Wuli at the bottom of the city, and said loudly: "I am Zhang Xun, the prefect of Xuantu, who is coming? Can you tell me?" name?"

Most of the Hu people respected the literati of the Central Plains very much. Hearing that Zhang Xun was in the position of prefect, Wu Li immediately put on a smile, showing the appearance of a virtuous corporal, and bowed his hands to Zhang Xun, saying: "I am Wuhuan Wanfu, Wuli, is now under the order of the king to recover the three counties of Liaodong, and I hope that you can abandon the dark and turn to the bright as soon as possible, and don't make unnecessary resistance."

As soon as Wu Li finished speaking, he saw an arrow piercing into his forehead with the sound of breaking the wind.

Wu Li suddenly felt a pain in his forehead, and then let out a muffled snort, reached out his hand to touch the increasingly heavy forehead, intending to break the arrow, but was surprised to find that the arrow had completely sunk into his forehead.

As time went by, Wu Li felt that his body was shaking involuntarily. After about a dozen breaths, he suddenly felt his head sink, and then his eyes went dark, and then he fell slowly under the horse.

Unlucky as Wu Li, without knowing it, Zhang Xun and Nan Jiyun teamed up to trick him, and a seemingly inadvertent gesture of bowing his hands in salute eventually became his death talisman.

Seeing that the arrow in Wu Li fell under the horse, Zhang Xun slapped the battlement heavily, and gave Nan Jiyun, who was hiding half of his body behind a pillar, a thumbs up, and said, "The general is good at arrows."

"But it's a small skill, the Fujun is too much." Nan Jiyun smiled and said modestly.

After Nan Jiyun finished speaking, he glanced sideways at the defending sergeant who was crouching under the battlements. Seeing that everyone was surprised, but no one dared to make a sound of exclamation. Nan Jiyun couldn't help seeing this scene Secretly speaking, when he looked at Zhang Xun again, there was a hint of fear in his eyes, and he thought: "Who is this person? He can make a group of rough men fear him like a tiger." ? It's just unbelievable."

Just when Nan Jiyun was expressing emotion at Zhang Xun's back.

Qiu Liju, who was far away in the Wuhuan formation, also saw the scene under Wangping City. Seeing that his confidant and beloved general was shot down by the opponent's arrow, he was extremely shocked and also felt great humiliation.

At this time, the scouts who followed Wu Li to call for battle at Wangping City happened to have fled back in a hurry. The scouts rolled off their horses at a distance of more than [-] steps from Qiu Liju, and immediately stepped forward to report, saying: "My lord, There is a sharpshooter in Wangping City, and Chief Wan was unfortunately murdered, please send troops quickly to avenge Chief Wan."

Qiu Liju frowned, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said, "How many defenders are there at the top of the city?"

"There are less than 500 defenders at the top of the city."

The scout deliberately played tricks with Qiu Liju, and said more about the number of defenders at the top of the city. In this way, he can also leave some room for himself. In case there is fraud in the city and an ambush is laid, then The number of defenders he lied about may save his life.

Conversely, if there were really only a few hundred defenders at the head of the city, then, after Qiu Liju conquered the city, he would be overjoyed and he would not care too much about himself.

For scouts, it is common to lie about the number of enemy troops, and this is an unwritten unspoken rule.

Qiu Liju nodded silently, then turned his head and looked at Tadun beside him.

Ta Dun squinted his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly, and said: "You can use the catapult to make a tentative attack on the city first."

When Qiu Liju heard the words, he nodded in agreement, and said: "The sudden words are just what I want."

After Qiu Liju finished speaking, he immediately waved to the phalanx of catapults behind the army formation.

After a long time.

A thousand Wuhuan soldiers pushed twenty catapults and walked slowly towards the top of Wangping City.

In fact, as far as the current situation is concerned, the power of the catapult is not very great, and the range is only about four to five hundred steps, and its lethality is extremely limited.

During the Battle of Guandu, Liu Ye made some improvements to the catapult, and the power of the catapult was greatly improved. Since then, the catapult has a new name, Thunderbolt Chariot.

After about a stick of incense.

A thousand Wuhuan soldiers pushed their catapults to within range of Wangping City.

After some preparatory work, under the command of a commander, the crowd launched a tentative round of stone-throwing attacks on Wangping City.

Boulders the size of a millstone pierced the sky, and with a chilling sound of breaking the wind, they fell sparsely around the city.

The accuracy of the catapult was limited, and only four or five boulders fell on the top of the city. The rest either fell outside the city due to insufficient range, or flew over the top of the city and landed in the city.

The boulder that only fell on the top of the city did not bring any substantial damage to the top of the city.

After the first round of tentative stone throwing, the Wuhuan people then carried out a second round of calibrated attacks on the top of Wangping City.

This time, the accuracy of the catapult was significantly higher than before. At least eight boulders fell on the top of the city, causing a lot of casualties to the defenders at the top of the city. At least [-] defenders Unfortunately, he was hit by a boulder, thus paying his young life.

A boulder the size of a millstone fell from the sky with great inertia. It is impossible for a human body of flesh and blood to parry. Once hit by the boulder, it will result in either death or disability.

In ancient times, disability was death, because the medical conditions in ancient times were very limited, especially in wartime, once something disabled due to injury occurred, it was equivalent to announcing the death date of the disabled soldier, and even Pao Ze would not respond to it. The remnant soldiers stretched out their helping hands, but instead swung their knives to give them a good time.

In fact, these sixteen soldiers could have survived originally, and at least five of them could escape the boulder flying towards them. However, before the battle, Zhang Xun had issued a death order to the soldiers defending the city. The city sergeants are not allowed to stand up without orders, and are not allowed to make a sound, and those who violate it will be killed without mercy.

As far as the defenders are concerned, it is better to die at the hands of the Wuhuan people than to die under the sword of Zhang Xun and shame the family. Zhang Xun's soul died under the knife.
