Huang Zhong stood at the head of the city, wearing armor and white hair, he looked very eye-catching.

Seeing Huang Zhong from afar, King Mulu pointed at him and smiled: "How powerful I am as a Great Wei, I actually sent such an old guy to guard the city, can't they find a decent general?" ”

King Mulu had despised Huang Zhong very much since he set off, and he was somewhat dissatisfied with this.

He had heard of Huang Zhong's name, and he also knew the old general's majesty back then.

Although he is old now, he used to be a fearsome fierce general after all.

He has a lot of knowledge about the culture of the Central Plains, and he said: "Has the King of Mulu heard the allusion that Lian Po is still able to eat?" ”

"What a mess, I haven't heard of it!" King Mulu had never heard of Lian Po, a famous general of Zhao during the Warring States Period, and it was impossible for him to know allusions about him, so he waved his hand and said: "You don't have to tell me so much, since you came here, my purpose is to cut off the head of the old man guarding the city and send it to Zhuge Kongming, so that he can see what a dying old man can do." ”

"What are you going to do?" Knowing that it was impossible to convince him, the busy tooth chief didn't bother to say anything more and asked him a question.

King Mulu replied: "It's all here, of course I will lead the warriors to attack the city." ”

"I think it's better to surround for a few days and see how Huang Zhong responds." "We've just arrived here, and we don't know much about the situation here, so if we attack rashly, we might fall into their trap." You must know that the people of the Central Plains have always been treacherous, and it is better to pay more attention to them when fighting them! ”

"I'm busy paying attention all day long, how can this battle be fought?" King Mulu said, "We each brought our own people here, my people have five or six thousand, and your people are only four or five thousand. Since you don't dare to fight, I will only rush up with my clansmen, and when I break through Wanghai, I will not give you the credit! ”

"If you can break through Wanghai, you can take all the credit." Busy Tooth said: "You and I haven't known each other for a day or two, you should know what kind of person I am." Am I the kind of person who likes to compete with others? ”

"I know you don't like to compete with people." King Mulu smiled and patted the shoulder of the busy tooth chief: "Since you don't want credit, I'll just go and get it alone!" ”

He beckoned to the barbarian warriors behind him: "Clansmen, follow me and take down Wanghai for me!" ”

With a shout, King Mulu pointed forward with his broadsword.

Thousands of barbarian warriors howled and rushed towards the walls of Wanghai City.

Unlike the Central Plains army, the barbarians had ladders and siege towers when attacking, and they relied on some ropes to climb when they attacked the city.

Ropes are easier to cut than ladders by the soldiers defending the city.

But it also has another advantage, each barbarian carries a rope, and when attacking the city, he does not have to use other people's ropes to climb the city wall.

The disadvantages and advantages cancel each other out, and it is not impossible for the rope siege to succeed.

What's more, when they broke through Jiaozhi earlier, the barbarians relied on ropes to attack the city.

King Mulu led his people to charge.

A smile appeared on the corner of Huang Zhong's mouth at the head of the city.

He said to the lieutenant beside him: "I didn't expect the barbarians to be so anxious, and when they came here, they actually launched an attack before they could find out the situation. Since they are in such a hurry to die, we should not block their path to heaven. The order was sent down, and the artillery bombarded them, so that they could taste the taste of new weapons. ”

Huang Zhong gave the order for artillery bombardment, and the cannons that had already been erected on the head of the city rang out one after another.

With an earth-shattering roar, cannonballs shot out of the barrels and flew towards the charging barbarians.

The cannon is a new weapon, and it has not been put into use on the battlefield for a long time.

Zhuge Liang has seen it in Sanjiangkou, but where have the barbarians seen it?

With a roar, the cannonball fell among the charging barbarians.

The barbarians, who were not far from the shells, were blown up and rolled in the air, and most of them were already shattered when they landed.

The roar of the cannon stunned the barbarians, and the charging Mulu King hurriedly stopped.

The war horse under his crotch had been startled by the loud noise, and the horse's hooves were stirring restlessly.

Because the cannon had a certain firing range, Huang Zhong didn't let the soldiers get too close to it, and the barbarians who rushed to the front were not crushed by the cannonballs.

There was a loud bang behind them, and the barbarians looked back in panic.

At this moment, countless arrows flew down from the city.

The panicked barbarians were shot by arrows and fell to the ground.

The barbarian warriors are not rookies who have not been on the battlefield, and after many of their companions were shot, most of them reacted, and they could only be the target of the defenders' bows and arrows if they stayed here. If you retreat, you will be within the range of the cannons, and like your slower companions, you will be blown up in all directions or simply shattered into piles of minced meat.

It's not to stay, it's not to retreat, and the barbarian warriors can only rush forward.

Braving the rain of arrows, from time to time a few people will be shot by arrows and fall to the ground, but the casualties caused by arrows are limited after all.

Just as the barbarians at the front were about to rush under the city wall, someone felt a softness under their feet, and a crisp sound of "Gada" was faintly heard.

The brute who heard the crisp sound raised his foot, and a deafening roar came from under his feet.

The mines buried outside the city were trampled on by the barbarians, and with the explosion of the mines, the barbarians who rushed in front also ran wildly in all directions in the same way as the shells that were bombarded behind.

With no experience in dealing with mines at all, the barbarians did not know that entering a minefield and running wild would only make them die faster.

The cannons at the head of the city are still roaring, and the mines outside the city are also being trampled on by the barbarians.

Wanghai outside the city is filled with gunsmoke, and you can smell the strong smell of gunpowder smoke when you stand on the city wall.

The soldiers were still firing arrows at the city.

Huang Zhong raised his hand and signaled not to send it again.

The arrows stopped, and the cannon fire stopped.

King Mulu retreated to his own camp with the remnants of his army, and at this time he no longer had the arrogance he had just now, replaced by a sad face and a black smoke residue.

"Are you hurt?" King Mulu returned to his main formation, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"I regret that I should not have listened to the king." Barbarians have a characteristic that many Central Plains people do not have, they are easy to admit their mistakes, and most of them will not cover up what they have done wrong because of their faces, and the king of Mulu said to the busy tooth chief with annoyance: "That old guy in the city may be commonplace, but the weapons they use are really powerful. We couldn't get into the city, and they drove us back. ”

"Knowing that they have such powerful weapons doesn't necessarily mean a bad thing for us." "It's better to camp outside the city first, and it's not too late to find an opportunity to attack again." ”
