Chapter 107 What howitzer? This is our catapult

After hearing Xiao Hongbo's order, Xiao Pengtian quickly came to Xiao Hongbo's tent.

At this time, Xiao Hongbo was already arranging how the barbarian generals would attack Yancheng.

After Xiao Pengtian entered the tent, he said, "Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"

Seeing Queen Xiao Peng, Xiao Hongbo instantly showed a smile on his face, and then he said with a smile: "God Peng, I just thought carefully about what you said to me before, and I think what you said makes sense."

"If we rush directly into the Wanning Valley, if Daxia soldiers appear in the rear, we will be trapped in the Wanning Valley."

"So I have decided to give you a very important task. When evening comes, I will lead an army of twenty-five to attack Yancheng directly. You will lead fifty thousand soldiers to guard the rear to prevent Daxia soldiers from attacking us from behind. "

Having said this, Xiao Hongbo smiled and patted Xiao Pengtian's shoulder, "Pengtian, this task is very important. The safety of our rear is left to you."

Hearing this, Xiao Pengtian showed a hint of a smile on his face, and then he said: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will definitely keep an eye on the rear."

Xiao Pengtian is not a fool. How could he not see the purpose of Xiao Hongbo's arrangement.

He already has a status second only to Xiao Hongbo in the Sirius King's tribe. If he has made outstanding achievements in the attack on Yancheng this time, he will be the master of it.

Xiao Hongbo didn't think what he said made sense. He clearly used this as an excuse to keep him in the rear and not participate in the siege, so that he could not get credit.

Xiao Pengtian didn't say much. Just stay in the rear. He happened to be worried that Daxia soldiers would sneak attack from the rear.

Just then, a soldier entered the tent.

"Your Majesty, the scouts sent out have returned."

Xiao Hongbo immediately said: "Let him come in."

As soon as Xiao Hongbo finished speaking, another soldier entered the tent, "Your Majesty, we have verified the situation ahead. The gate of Yancheng is tightly closed, and the soldiers of Yancheng have set up catapults on the city wall!"

Hearing this, Xiao Hongbo said with a smile: "It seems that King Bei is really waiting for me in Yancheng!"

"Very good. I have long heard that King Bei likes beauties. He has raised countless beauties in his mansion. When Yancheng is conquered, I must enjoy it and experience the happiness of King Bei!"

Yelu Nanyan was not here, so Xiao Hongbo's true nature was revealed. He believed that no one would dare to tell Yelu Nanyan what he said and what he did.

at the same time.

Yancheng, on the city tower.

Mu Changtian looked at the howitzers on the city wall and said with some worry: "Your Majesty, if the howitzers are put out like this and the barbarian scouts see them, will they notice anything?"

Lu Chen smiled faintly, and then said: "Howitzer? What kind of howitzer? This is a catapult."

The barbarian cavalry had never seen a howitzer. How could they know that this was a howitzer? If the barbarian cavalry knew that there was such a powerful weapon as a howitzer, they would not dare to come to Yancheng now, so Lu Chen was not worried at all about the howitzer being used by the barbarians. The scout saw it.

Before the howitzer had no effect, the barbarians were likely to mistake the howitzer for a catapult.

In fact, if viewed from a distance, the shape of the howitzer does look somewhat similar to a catapult.

Of course, they are just similar in shape.

Now everything is ready, just waiting for the barbarian cavalry to fall into the trap.

For the next day, Lu Chen stayed on the city wall, always paying attention to the movements of the barbarian army.

As time goes by and the day is about to pass, the sun in the sky gradually touches the horizon, and large tracts of fiery red sunset occupy the sky. People's skin is turned into a bronze color by the reflected light of the sunset.

At this moment, a scout soldier rode towards the city gate quickly on horseback. The soldier shouted loudly while riding his horse:

"The barbarian army enters Wanning Valley!"

"The barbarian army enters Wanning Valley!"

"The barbarian army enters Wanning Valley!"

…

After hearing the words of the scout soldiers, the soldiers on the city wall began to move quickly and quickly entered a fighting state without waiting for Mu Changtian's order.

Soon the scouts came to Lu Chen, "Your Majesty, the barbarian army has entered the Wanning Valley. They are divided into two parts. There are about 250,000 troops in front, and the remaining 50,000 troops seem to be guarding the rear."

Hearing this, Lu Chen frowned.

He did not expect that the barbarians would divide into two parts and enter the Wanning River Valley.

If the barbarians left 50,000 men to guard the rear, it would be difficult for their 50,000 black cavalry to complete the siege of the barbarian army.

At this time, Lu Chen asked: "Have the tens of thousands of troops behind the barbarians followed them into the Wanning Valley?"

The soldier immediately replied: "They came in, but they kept a certain distance from the barbarian army in front."

Hearing what the soldier said, Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as they all enter the Wanning River Valley.

He was afraid that the barbarian army of 300,000 would leave some soldiers outside the Wanning Valley. In this case, if the black cavalry wanted to block the barbarians' retreat, they would have to fight the barbarian cavalry who stayed outside the Wanning Valley.

By the time the black cavalry eliminates the cavalry outside the Wanning Valley, I am afraid that the barbarian army in front has already withdrawn from the Wanning Valley, and then they will have no choice but to let the barbarian army leave.

At this time, Lu Chen said: "Get ready to fight! Send instructions to the artillery battalion and let the barbarian cavalry arrive at Yancheng soon before firing!"

Following Lu Chen's order, the defense battle of Yancheng and the encirclement and suppression battle of the barbarian army officially began.

Under the leadership of Xiao Hongbo, an army of 250,000 will soon arrive at the gates of Yancheng.

Although the people on the city wall of Yancheng had not seen the barbarian cavalry yet, they had already heard the rumble of horse hooves.

They even had the illusion that the earth was shaking.

This is 300,000 barbarian cavalry.

The soldiers on the city wall were very nervous. Even though they had howitzers, facing an army of 300,000 people, they were still under tremendous pressure.

Including the black cavalry, there were only 90,000 soldiers in Beijun.

Ninety thousand versus three hundred thousand, it is impossible without pressure.

After Lu Chen heard the rumble of horse hooves, he felt his heart beating wildly, as if the adrenaline in his body was secreting crazily, making all the cells in his body active.

As the sound of horse hooves got louder and closer, the flags of the barbarian army gradually appeared in people's sight.

Lu Chen stood on the city tower and quickly took a look at the generals in front of the barbarian army.

[Name: Xiao Hongbo]

[Identity: Barbarian Sirius King]

[Strength: Grandmaster Realm]

[Loyalty: -100 (hostile)]

…

[Name: Mantie]

[Identity: General of the Barbarian Sirius King Tribe]

[Strength: Grandmaster Realm]

[Loyalty: -100 (hostile)]

…

[Name: Fresh Armor]

[Identity: General of the Barbarian North Xian King tribe. 】

[Strength: Grandmaster Realm]

[Loyalty: -100 (hostile)]

After reading the information of these three people, Lu Chen glanced at the information of other generals.

At last count, among the more than 200,000 troops of the barbarian vanguard, there were probably only three grandmasters, five half-step masters, and a dozen ninth-level ones.

Now Lu Chen still doesn't know if there are any grandmasters among the tens of thousands of troops behind him.

If he didn't have howitzers this time, with the strength of the barbarian army, Beijun would never be able to defend it.

With a lineup like the barbarians, let alone capturing Beijun, there would be no problem even launching a war of annihilation against some small countries.
