Pei Xiaoer rode a horse and looked at Shangwangzhuang in high spirits. Rows of soldiers around him, marching in neat steps, passed Pei Xiaoer and surrounded Shangwangzhuang.

"Brother, how are we going to fight this battle?" Pei Xiaosan came up behind Pei Xiaoer at some point, "Which direction should we focus on?"

"How to fight?" Pei Xiaoer smiled contemptuously, "To borrow someone else's words, I have never fought such a rich battle in my life. This time we will not arrange the main attack, but assists from all four directions. Give me a hard blow.

Fight. Whoever conquers Shangwangzhuang first, I will promote him."

As he said that, Pei Xiaoer glanced behind him and saw that all his generals behind him were eager to try, so he threw out his bait: "I think there are still too many battalions. We now have 1,500 people in one battalion."

, it's fine when encountering a small-scale battle, but not at all if it encounters a large-scale battle.

I plan to combine the three battalions into one guard, each with a general. The first general of our army will be born among you."

"Really? Brother, you have to keep your promise." Pei Xiaosan looked at Pei Xiaoer excitedly, with a look of anticipation on his face.

"When has your brother ever failed to keep his word?" Pei Xiaoer punched him hard on the shoulder and cursed with a smile, "It all depends on your ability."

Inside Wangzhuang, Liu Xianchun looked at the large army outside, which surrounded him, and his face became extremely ugly. The Wang family and his son beside him also had solemn expressions, secretly thinking that something bad was going on.

Wang Yuanwai glared at his son fiercely, as if to say what a good thing you have done. In the past few days, he attributed all the troubles in his heart to this traitor. If he hadn't been self-righteous and greedy, he would have retired long ago.

When you go to Xia County, why bother walking on thin ice here?

Wang Silang has become much more honest recently, and he doesn't even bother to "take care" of the little wife he snatched. He lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head, not daring to look at his father. He wanted to get over it first and talk about this period later.

"My dear brother, do you have any good strategies?" Liu Xianchun, who was worried in his heart, asked, "Should our army take the initiative to attack? While the rogue bandits are not yet firmly established, we can catch them off guard."

The king was speechless. A few days ago, we had the advantage and asked you to take the initiative, but you refused. Now, the enemy army has nearly ten thousand people. If we take the initiative to attack at this time, wouldn't it be like beating a dog with a meat bun?

No reply?

"Brother Liu, for this plan, I think we should ask the governor for help as soon as possible." Wang Yuanwai said helplessly.

"Ask for help?" Liu Xianchun became anxious upon hearing this, "No, no, no, the governor has so many things to do, how can we easily disturb him? Let's wait until we recover Xia County."

In fact, asking for help at this moment is really not a good thing for Liu Xianchun. He has always thought about regaining Xia County by himself. If he asks for help at this moment, won't it expose the fact that he lost Xia County? By then

, it is still uncertain whether Xia County can be recovered, but Liu Xianchun's head may be hung on the wall of the capital first. At this moment, he still has a large army in hand, and he wants to win whatever he can.

Seeing that Liu Xianchun did not agree to ask for help, Wang Yuanwai could only keep this idea in his heart and said nothing.

Liu Xianchun wanted to say something else, but unexpectedly, he heard a bang. A gap appeared in the wall on one side of the village. For a moment, bricks and tiles were flying everywhere, and blood and flesh were mixed, and screams resounded throughout the battlefield.

"It's a red cannon. The bandits actually have red cannons." A frightened voice shouted loudly from the wall.

Liu Xianchun was also shocked at this moment. The bandits had red cannons? He didn't even have a red cannon. How could this bandit have a red cannon?

On the other side, Pei Xiaoer looked at the middle-aged man in red who was playing with the cannon and was speechless. He had just ordered to aim at the door. In the end, he didn't even reach the edge of the door. He just hit the wall and rubbed it off.

A few bricks.

"How many times have you practiced at Guojiazhuang?" Pei Xiaoer couldn't help but ask.

"Back to General, since I ran away when I encountered this, and including the shot just now, I fired a total of six times." The middle-aged man replied, but his hands were busy.

"Only six times?" Pei Xiaoer frowned, "No, no, six times is too few. You must practice more in the future."

The middle-aged man finally refilled the cannon and stood respectfully in front of Pei Xiao'er. He was a little embarrassed and said, "General, this cannon requires a lot of gunpowder every time it is fired. And if it is fired too much, the cannon will be useless."

This artillery was the same one that was snatched during the attack on Guojiazhuang. Later, Pei Xiaoer ordered Guo Bichang to find someone who knew how to fire artillery and train it carefully. It would be of great use in the future.

Guo Bichang was fairly reliable in his work, but he was a bit petty. He was reluctant to use the only cannon of the Pei family army, for fear that it would be gone after it was used up.

"You don't need to worry about this matter. Your task is to shoot more cannons and hone your skills. When you reach the point where you can shoot where you want, you can collect and organize your operating steps into a book. Then in the future

The thousand households in the artillery camp are yours." Pei Xiaoer patted his chest and assured the other party, while drawing a big pie.

Sure enough, the middle-aged man was overjoyed after hearing this, "Thank you, General, I will definitely live up to the general's expectations."

"Yeah" Pei Xiaoer nodded, "Is the cannon loaded?"

"Pretended"

"If you're done pretending, then hit me, or hit me hard at the door."

Following Pei Xiaoer's order, a ball of crimson flames spurted out from the muzzle, enveloping a red-hot cannonball, like a meteor, and slammed into the gate.

There was a huge hole in the door.

"Okay, let's fight like this." Pei Xiaoer said happily, "Blow that door into pieces for me."

"Quick, bring rocks and block the door." Liu Xianchun saw a big hole in the door being blasted by cannons. He was so frightened that he hurriedly ordered someone to block the gap.

Although the soldiers heard Liu Xianchun's order, they were shocked by the power of the cannon and did not dare to approach.

Liu Xianchun was so angry that he shouted, "Anyone who is timid before the enemy will be killed will not be spared." He also ordered his personal guards around him to act as supervisors of the battle team. Anyone who dared not advance would be shot without mercy.

Finally, under the pressure of death, the soldiers worked tremblingly for a long time and finally sealed the door with bricks and stones.

During this period, two more cannons were fired outside the city. However, the shells hit the masonry, and apart from flying debris, there was no accident. Liu Xianchun was finally able to breathe a little easier.

However, Pei Xiaoer outside the city was not willing to give him a chance. Seeing that the cannon was becoming less and less effective, he ordered the cannon to rest aside while the army of ants attacked the city.

As soon as the order was given, Liu Changle, who had been waiting impatiently, immediately led his army and rushed towards the wall. Naturally, the other battalions did not want to fall behind him and rushed over.
