Chapter 281: Crusade against Huan Wen

"Lord, this Huan Wen is very cunning, after I came to Hongnong, let him submit to the lord, he promised on the surface, but he didn't take any action, but now he is not having a good time, these days there are a large number of people in Anding County have moved to Hongnong, and now even the army has a large number of deserters."

Liu Yuetian's policy is really attractive, the agricultural tax and business are only paid 20%, the whole world is the only one, no ordinary people can resist, let alone Anding County, now there are many people from the Tang Dynasty and the Great Wei secretly come to Hongnong.

"Brother Fu Jian, you are guarding Hongnong carefully, and I will lead people to personally go out to subdue this Huan Wen."

"How's that going to work? Chitose, you are a golden body, and you must not take any chances. ”

Fu Jian was taken aback.

"It's okay, it's not easy to deal with Huan Wen!"

Liu Yuetian didn't take the other party in his eyes at all.

Although Liu Yuetian was resolute, Fu Jian did not dare to let Liu Yuetian lead the 3,000 soldiers alone, so he asked Di Qing to lead 10,000 soldiers to defend Liu Yuetian, a total of 13,000 people drove to Anding County.

Liu Yuetian's 3,000 people have reached the fourth level of soldiers, but this army is not only iron-blooded, they also carry "good technology" weapons, that is, enhanced trebuchets.

This enhanced version of the trebuchet is similar to a regular trebuchet, but instead of throwing ordinary stones, it throws stones with gunpowder.

He asked the stonemasons to make a large stone hollow, filled with black powder, and then attached a two-foot-long oil-infested hemp rope, and lit the hemp rope when he threw it, and it would explode in about a dozen breaths, and the stone would have fallen on the enemy's head.

A stone of more than 200 catties will be completely blasted open, which is enough to make people within a radius of ten zhang suffer a fatal blow, and the killing distance can be expanded to twenty zhang, which can be described as a cannon of this era.

Liu Yuetian brought more than 30 trebuchets this time, as well as hundreds of "cannonballs", ready to let Huan Wen test the cannon for the first time.

Thirteen,000 men and horses arrived outside Anding County four days later, and Huan Wen was frightened by the sudden appearance of the enemy.

"What? Did Hongnong County send troops to attack Anding? What to do? ”

The ants on the hot pot in the Huan Wen area asked their subordinates loudly.

"Taishou, this Liu Yuetian is becoming more and more arrogant now, I don't believe that he is really the reincarnation of a god, you give me 20,000 troops, and I will go out of the city to destroy him!"

One of his generals shouted.

"General Wang Dun must not!"

An official hurriedly stopped.

"This Liu Yuetian is not an ordinary person, he became famous all over the world in a year, Liu Yuan, Liang Ji and Gesar are not his opponents, how can we be his opponents? Don't be impulsive! ”

An official blocked.

"That's right! Don't be impulsive! ”

Immediately, a group of people chimed in, and now Liu Yuetian's reputation is too great, and most of Huan Wen's subordinates are already trembling and ready to flee for their lives.

"You guys, you haven't fought yet, I think you all want to take refuge in each other?

Wang Dun roared angrily.

"That's it! Don't make any noise! ”

Huan Wen also shouted.

"Liu Yuetian is powerful, but I Huan Wen is not a vegetarian, I heard that Liu Yuetian has a powerful crossbow arrow, relying on this weapon he can be invincible, this Anding County was built by me as solid as gold, as long as we don't open the city, I don't believe he can rely on crossbow arrows to shoot the city wall down for me, come to people, all follow me to the city to defend, who wants to say discouragement, don't blame me Huan Wen is not welcome!"

Huan Wen personally led five thousand spirits to climb the city tower, and there were rolling logs and stones on the city wall, and he set up a desperate posture with Liu Yuetian.

Liu Yuetian led the men and horses to the city and also set up a formation, and the soldiers on the city tower looked at the elite division with bright armor below, obviously having more people than the other party, but they still felt palpitations.

"Cheer me up, we rely on the city wall and the other party will definitely not be able to attack it!"

Huan Wen snorted.

"Huan Wen Taishou, I am Liu Yuetian, the general of today."

Liu Yuetian shouted at the city tower with a "big speaker".

"Liu Yuetian actually came in person?"

Huan Wen thought it was Fu Jian coming, but the other party turned out to be Liu Yuetian? Could it be that this is a decisive battle with yourself?

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness Chitose, I wonder what happened to Chitose to my small Anding County?"

Huan Wen also showed his head and shouted.

"I'm here to see how the people of Anding County are doing? You better open the city and welcome me in! ”

"Hehe, Your Highness said with a smile, if you come in by yourself, I will definitely open the city gate and welcome you, but the soldiers behind you are afraid that they are not the same as you think, right?"

"Bold Huan Wen, this Anding County is the city of my Great Zhou, your Huan Wen Taishou is also a subject of my Great Zhou, His Royal Highness is a great general, and any army in the land of Great Zhou must be sent by him, don't you want to live?"

Di Qing on the side reprimanded.

"Your Highness, don't tease the minister, I Huan Wen has lived in Anding County for more than forty years, this is my home, my territory, if someone comes to smash my home, even if I don't want to die, the other party will fight to the death!"

"Huan Wen, I Liu Yuetian must be known to you, the people of Tianshui and Hongnong counties have a good life, even if this is your home, but the people are not your personal property, I am here for them, as long as you surrender and submit to me, I promise that there will be no punishment for you!"

Liu Yuetian also wanted to persuade the other party.

"Needless to say, I'm not Liu Yuan, if you want to beat me, I'll be with you to the end!"

Huan Wen no longer wants to ink with Liu Yuetian.

"In that case, then don't blame me for being rude!"

As soon as Liu Yuetian waved his hand, hundreds of soldiers immediately took action, some set up shelves, some carried things, and quickly set up the trebuchet.

"Trebuchet! Be careful, everyone! ”

Huan Wen naturally knows trebuchets, this thing can throw dozens of pounds of stones to a distance of thirty or forty zhang away, and there are even three in Anding County, but Huan Wen didn't care, because this kind of thing is really useless.

Trebuchets were used during sieges, but they were not used to rush to the city walls, but to suppress the soldiers at the head of the city to ensure that the besieging soldiers rushed to the head of the city.

Why can't an average trebuchet break down the walls? Very simply, this trebuchet is all wooden, and the wood itself does not have much hardness, and it is already the limit to be able to throw a stone of dozens of catties to dozens of zhang away, and the impact force is not enough to break the thick city wall.

So Huan Wen didn't panic when he saw that the other party had set up a trebuchet, but he thought that the other party would start attacking the city immediately, so he asked the surrounding soldiers to get ready.

In less than a quarter of an hour, dozens of trebuchets had been assembled and towered high outside the city, unlike ordinary ones, usually made of steel and emitting a faint sheen in the sunlight.

"What a strange trebuchet!"

The soldiers on the upper floor of Anding County watched quietly, they didn't dare to go out of the city, let the other party take the head, the trebuchet was assembled, and the trebuchet was more than forty zhang away from them, and no strong bow and crossbow could attack the other party.
