Chapter 831 Enemy Attacks the City

Peng Chuan, those who have been stationed in Shanling Pass for many years will not have not heard of this name, and Pei Yu naturally knows it. It can be said that this is an old rival.

Peng Chuan is one of the famous generals of Heishui State. In the conflicts between Heishui State and Nanping State, his shadow can often be seen. Pei Yu has also fought with the other party, but did not gain any advantage. The other generals in Shanling Pass are not as good as Pei Yu. They have always lost more than they won when they met Peng Chuan.

This time, Heishui State not only dispatched a large army, but also let Peng Chuan lead the troops. Obviously, they did not just want to fight a small battle.

Thinking of this, Pei Yu suddenly felt a huge pressure on himself.

"Where is Marshal Wu?" Pei Yu asked the personal soldier next to him.

Just after receiving the news that the army of Heishui Kingdom launched an attack, Pei Yu asked his personal soldiers to inform Wu Fan. Although he was the chief general in Shanling Pass, Wu Fan was the commander-in-chief of the three armies appointed by His Majesty, and was fully responsible for the war with Heishui Kingdom. Now that Heishui Kingdom launched an attack, Wu Fan naturally had the right to know, and the command here should also belong to Wu Fan.

"Reply to the general, I didn't find Marshal Wu." The personal soldier replied.

"Didn't find it?" Pei Yu frowned: "Wu's residence, oh, and the craftsman's workshop, have you looked for it?"

"I searched everywhere, but I didn't find Wu." The personal soldier replied.

Pei Yu frowned even more.

The army of Heishui Kingdom has already arrived, but Wu Fan, who is responsible for controlling the overall situation, is missing. This is obviously not a good thing.

"Sir, do you think Wu will secretly leave Shanling Pass?" The personal soldier whispered to Pei Yu.

"Don't talk nonsense! This is impossible!" Pei Yu said decisively.

Although he had not known Wu Fan for a long time, Pei Yu had a hunch that Wu Fan was not the kind of person who would flee from the battlefield. Especially after seeing Wu Fan's fierce methods yesterday, Pei Yu did not believe that Wu Fan would quietly escape from Shanling Pass.

The personal soldier shrank his neck, but he still said, "How come there is no trace of him if he has not left Shanling Pass? Shanling Pass is so small, and we have searched all the places we should have searched, but we just couldn't find him. What's more, the Black Water Kingdom's attack made such a big noise that people inside the pass should have known about it. If he was still inside the pass, he must have known about it. Why hasn't he appeared yet?"

Pei Yu frowned again. This was also what he couldn't figure out. He didn't believe that Wu Fan would flee from the battlefield, but what the personal soldier said made sense. With such a big noise outside the pass, people inside the pass should have known about it. Why hasn't Wu Fan appeared yet?

At this time, Mu Han appeared on the top of the city with the people from the Shenhu Camp. Pei Yu saw this and immediately went to meet him.

"General Mu, may I ask where Marshal Wu is? The Blackwater army is attacking, and we still need Marshal Wu to take charge of the situation here." Pei Yu said.

"The Marshal has some things to deal with and will be back soon. The Lord has explained before that if the Blackwater army attacks before he shows up, the command inside the pass will be controlled by General Pei." Mu Han replied: "It's the same for our Kobe camp, and it's all at the general's disposal."

Come back?

Pei Yu noticed the word in Mu Han's words. Could it be that Wu Fan really left Shanling Pass as his personal soldiers guessed?

Woo woo woo!

At this moment, a dull horn sounded suddenly outside the city. The Blackwater army, which came from afar, did not choose to set up camp, but instead accelerated its advance and rushed straight towards Shanling Pass.

The Blackwater army actually wanted to attack the city directly!

Pei Yu's face suddenly became gloomy.

The other side obviously did not take Shanling Pass seriously. They launched an attack without any rest, as if they were determined to take Shanling Pass.

What would it look like if 400,000 troops charged at the same time?

The defenders on the top of Shanling Pass had the most say at this time. The entire field of vision was filled with dense crowds, as numerous as ants. They charged with great momentum. That powerful momentum seemed to be able to destroy everything. Standing on the top of the city, they even felt a slight tremor under their feet. The simultaneous charge of 400,000 people seemed to have caused a small earthquake.

Fortunately, the defenders in Shanling Pass were all border troops, and they had friction with the army of Heishui Kingdom for many years. If it were an ordinary army, they might have collapsed to the ground in fear at this time.

Pei Yu glanced at Mu Han slightly, wanting to see their reaction. After all, Mu Han and others came from the capital. Pei Yu was afraid that they would be scared because they had not experienced such a big battle. As a result, he found that the soldiers of the Kobe Camp looked normal, and some of them even had a faint excitement on their faces.

Not afraid but excited?

Are they a bunch of lunatics?

While sighing, Pei Yu also saw that some soldiers of the Kobe Camp were placing something they had never seen before on the top of the city wall. This thing looked like a crossbow, but it was larger and heavier than an ordinary crossbow, and it took two people to lift one.

"What is this?" Pei Yu couldn't help asking.

"Zhuge Crossbow." Mu Han said.

"Zhuge Crossbow?" Pei Yu was slightly stunned, and then seemed to remember something, and said: "The one that the Marshal asked to make?"

"Yeah." Mu Han nodded: "Because of limited time, we only had time to make less than 20. If the Black Water Kingdom's army came later, we could make more."

Making Zhuge Crossbows is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and a lot of materials are required. It can be said that the cost of making each one is still very high. Fortunately, there are many craftsmen in Shanling Pass and various materials are sufficient. Otherwise, even less than 20 can't be made in about a day.

"How powerful is it?" Pei Yu asked.

"I don't know." Mu Han shook his head and said, "This thing is the first time I've seen it. I'm afraid only the commander knows its true power."

In fact, Wu Fan himself didn't know, because he had never seen it before.

Pei Yu nodded, then stopped looking at the Zhuge Crossbow, turned his head to look at the enemy troops getting closer and closer outside the city, and didn't take these Zhuge Crossbows too seriously.

Although Pei Yu didn't look down on Wu Fan's stuff like Chen Yufei, he didn't think these things would have much effect. At most, they were just like ordinary crossbows. There were 400,000 troops outside the city, and these crossbows wouldn't have much effect.

Woo woo woo!

The horn sounded continuously, and the enemy troops outside the city ran faster and faster. The ones rushing in the front were siege vehicles, arrow towers and other siege equipment. Next to these siege equipment were shield soldiers and archers.

"Archers, get ready!" On the top of the city, Pei Yu had a cold face and stared at the army getting closer and closer outside the city.

The sound of a fully drawn bowstring rang out, and the archers on the top of the city drew their bows and aimed their arrows at the enemy outside the city.
