Feng Lie just saw the information coming, and Hua Shenguang was preparing to hold the largest battle lottery draw on March 1. While gathering several people to study the lottery of Dapingguo, a soldier broke in in panic: "Your Majesty, big...that's a big deal!"
"Damn it, don't you see the emperor discussing matters? If you have any important matters, I'll report it after the discussion!" A minister next to him scolded the soldier with a dark face.
"Urgent military information, the Divine Light of Daping Guohua has led an army of 300,000 to Yunluo City!"
"What?" Hearing the news, Feng Lie stood up slapped the table, his eyes almost cracked out: "Is this news true?"
"It's true that several spies sent it back at the same time, and they shouted slogans to defeat the Wind Kingdom." The soldier said tremblingly.
As soon as the soldier finished speaking, Cheng Heizi broke in: "My teacher Cheng Han asked the Lord, Master Huang, the old general Huang in Yunluo City came from an emergency military information. Hua Shenguang and Li Guozhong led an army of 300,000 troops to the city of Yunluo. General Huang was guarding the door and requesting support!"
Feng Lie threw the information in his hand into the ground: "I fell into Hua Shenguang's trick, and Hua Shenguang's trick. The spies in the capital are all wastes. I don't know if Hua Shenguang's golden cicada has escaped!"
"Sage, I am guilty. I did not realize that the child dared to tear up the agreement and lead the troops to invade. Please issue an order to let me go to war and make up for the merits!" Cheng Heizi asked for his order.
Feng Lie recovered his calmness after being a little surprised and said to several panicked ministers around him: "Don't worry, my dearest ministers, my dear Yunluo City is as strong as an iron bucket, and Hua Shenguang cannot be broken so easily. General Huang is steady in his work and must defend this fortress. Since the Daping Kingdom tore up the agreement first, we will send all the elite troops and kill him without leaving it. Cheng Aiqing, I will give you the general and take charge of all the wars against the Daping Kingdom. Go to war immediately to purge the Daping Kingdom!"
"I have the order!" Cheng Heizi immediately summoned all the generals and dispatched troops.
At the same time, Hua Shenguang's army has been stationed more than ten miles outside Yunluo City. The terrain here is wide. It was the place where Fengguo garrison when Fengguo attacked Daping Kingdom last year. Now it has become Hua Shenguang's place. This is the turn of Feng Shui. This is my home this year!
"Prince, it is estimated that there are about 150,000 defenders in Yunluo City now. Knowing that we are attacking, reinforcements from all directions will soon come. At that time, the troops will probably be greater than us, so we have to take advantage of the enemy's reinforcements before they arrive and attack him in a time difference of insufficient preparation." Li Guozhong analyzed.
"Yes, it's exactly what I want. This battle is about fast. As long as I capture Yunluo City, my Daping Kingdom will push the front line into the territory of Feng Kingdom, stand firm in the military fortress of Yunluo City, and then go west to the army and attack the hinterland of Feng Kingdom." Hua Shenguang nodded.
"But that old Huang Shilang just can't hide, and there is no good way now."
"It's okay, go and have a look with me."
Hua Shenguang and Li Guozhong looked at the high Yunluo City from afar, standing between the two mountains. On the city walls and towers, they were already on high alert. Hua Shenguang opened the chaotic light eye and saw that hundreds of powerful crossbows had been set up. The crossbow arrows were loaded like spears and aimed at the front, and they would give a fatal blow to all invading enemies.
The mountains on both sides of the city are extremely steep and are beyond the reach of ordinary people. This terrain of a city that is at the gate of thousands of people and cannot be opened determines the irreplaceable strategic position of Yunluo City.
This kind of terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. When defending a city, you only need to concentrate your troops and guard one city gate. Unlike some plains, once surrounded by all sides, it will be very difficult to defend.
"The turtle of Feng Kingdom has the ability to come out to fight with my grandfather!" At this time, the vanguard of Daping Kingdom sounded neatly and passed it to Yunluo City, but if they shouted, no one would respond to Yunluo City.
In the eyes of Chaos Light, Hua Shenguang even saw the expressions of the Feng Kingdom soldiers on the city wall. When they heard the soldiers of Daping Kingdom scolding, their faces turned pale, but the military orders were as high as a mountain, and no one dared to act rashly. They had to hold back their anger and defend their duties.
"Prince, look at the Yunluo City wall and their situation. If we attack hard, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties and pay a huge price." Li Guozhong said.
"It seems that just calling the array is not a solution. They must be waiting for reinforcements. In this way, you go back and mobilize our newly designed throwing carts to arrange them from afar. In the afternoon, we will take their urgency first!" Hua Shenguang said.
Soon, thirty throwing vehicles were set up. These throwing vehicles were invented by Hua Shenguang and Fang Tong. They were able to throw shells at long distances, and were designed specifically for shells. Since the materials used to make them are extremely expensive and difficult to find, only thirty were made. In fact, the body of the car is easy to make, which is something that is elastic like a slingshot rubber band, which requires excellent elasticity. Fang Tong decided to use the tendons of a mountain wolf, an animal in this world, three months ago. Except for a few nobles who keep it, mountain wolf is generally wild, so the materials are rare.
However, now, Hua Shenguang has sent people to raise a large number of people, but the maturity cycle is at least half a year, so these thirty throwing cars are precious in racks.
The throwing vehicle is set two thousand meters away, and it is protected by a large shield made of fine iron in all directions. When it is necessary to throw, turn the switch and open the shield, just like opening the car door. When it is not in use, close it again to avoid damage.
On Yunluo City, a general pointed at the thirty throwing cars that appeared like houses: "General, what is that? Why have you never seen it?"
"I don't know, it's definitely not a good thing." Huang Shilang frowned and said to several soldiers who were operating the crossbow around him: "You try it, can you shoot those things."
"General, I guess it's not possible. It's too far apart to shoot."
"Hmph, this enemy is too cunning. Knowing the power of our army's powerful crossbows, they only yell in the distance and dare not approach. Since they like to yell, let them go. Just guard them. If someone dares to get close, they will shoot them with crossbow arrows." Huang Shilang said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the "doors" in front and above the thirty "houses" opened, revealing the contents. Under a solid base are four wheels, and there are huge spikes in the middle of the wheels, which can be stretched and retracted, and can be fixed when inserted into the ground, and used to withstand force when throwing. Above several iron pillars is a firing device woven by mountain wolf tendons, and at the end is a pocket-like thing to hold the shells.
In fact, the principle is extremely simple, it is just a magnified and more complex slingshot, but it was slightly changed by Hua Shenguang and applied to the battlefield.
"Prince, everything is ready. Do you need to use caltrops to bounce?" Everyone who operated the throwing cart was master of the fifth level of flesh. Among them were selected from the army and martial arts people who defected to Hua Shenguang. One of them stepped forward and asked.
