I win the lottery in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 232
Chapter 232
Meng Chen didn't know what happened in the palace, anyway, the persuading letter written by himself had been shot into the city for more than an hour.

No matter how slow the reaction is, there should always be an echo!
"My lord, it seems that those old guys in Marutu are ready to fight to the end." An Shisan stood behind Meng Chen, reminding in a low voice.

"This Marquis is courteous first and then soldiers, so don't blame Ben Hou for being cruel." Meng Chen turned around, and the killing intent on his body was gradually released.

Just after taking two steps, Meng Chen turned his head to An Shisan and asked, "Has the Xiangguo Mansion made arrangements?"

"Thank you, my lord, for your concern, the Xiangguo Mansion has already been properly arranged." An Shisan said respectfully.

After returning to the commander's tent, Meng Chen issued the general order to attack the city.

Although the sky is dark, but Meng Chen has always been spitting a nail when doing things.

As the Xiliang army camp began to get busy, the defenders at the head of Wandu City instantly became tense.

Although full preparations have been made long ago, a lot of materials for defending the city have also been prepared.

But the Han army was ready to attack the city shortly after arriving at the city, which made the defenders of Wandu City confused.

The sound of war drums was rumbling, not only from the city of Wandu, but also from the camp of the Xiliang Army.

No matter which side, at this moment, they are all ready for a big battle.

However, what the defenders of Wandu City did not expect was that the drums of the Han army camp outside the city were loud, but they never saw the camp gate open, and even the Han army siege soldiers did not notice it.

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!" Several loud whistling sounds sounded, and the defenders of Wandu City looked at the black object flying not far away in a daze.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The huge black shadow passed over the head, and then slammed into the ground fiercely. There were screams, and the defenders of Wandu City were completely panicked.

The huge stones falling from the sky seemed to be the masterpiece of the Han army outside the city, and all this was beyond their comprehension.

In the Xiliang army camp, bursts of neat slogans sounded, and the trebuchet that had just finished throwing began to reload again.

"One shot just crossed the city wall, adjust the distance scale." Following the semaphore sent by the orderly on the high platform, the captain next to the trebuchet roared loudly.

After several years of improvement, the trebuchet in Mengchen's hands has been played to the extreme by Ma Jun. If he wants to make further development, he may have to wait for the materials to be updated.

"The second round is loaded!"

"put!"

In just a few dozen breaths, the second stone bomb was prepared, and then it was successfully thrown towards Wandu Castle by the trebuchet.

After five consecutive test shots, the maximum range was finally calculated!

"My lord, the test firing of the trebuchet is complete." A messenger appeared in front of Meng Chen and reported loudly.

"Fire five rounds of stone bombs and wait for the signal from Anbu." Meng Chen ordered.

After the general order was issued, the trebuchet roared cheerfully again. Every time a stone bullet was thrown, it would put more pressure on the hearts of the defenders in Wandu City.

Compared with the big Han, when did a small country like Goguryeo see such an engineering weapon?

Just after the third round of stone bullets was fired, a puff of smoke suddenly rose in Wandu City.

The flag bearer on the high tower waved the flag in his hand again, and one message after another was delivered quickly.

"The third launch, where the tenth stone bomb landed, smoke rose."

The message was quickly translated, and a school captain hurried to where Meng Chen was.

"My lord, there is news from Anbu that the third round of stone bombs hit the target."

"Okay! Order the trebuchets to adjust their azimuths and put incendiary bombs on this Marquis." Meng Chen shouted loudly, he didn't expect to hit the royal court of Wandu so quickly this time.

Fortunately, Wandu City is not big, otherwise Mengchen would not boast of such a seaport.

"Adjust the angle, use the scale of parking space No. [-] as the benchmark, and change the incendiary bomb."

As soon as the order came out, the ten trebuchets began to adjust their angles one after another, and then adjusted the launching force of the trebuchets under the calculation of the craftsman.

For this attack on Goguryeo, Mengchen specially brought ten trebuchets. If Anbu hadn't found out that the roads in Goguryeo were difficult to navigate, Mengchen would have brought more trebuchets.

Meng Chen didn't know the method of observing the distance, but he just said a few words casually, but it was really summed up by the craftsmen led by Ma Jun.

Fortunately, Wandu City is not too high, otherwise the tall towers for observing the results of the battle would not be enough.

After it stopped for a quarter of an hour, the ten trebuchets roared again, and the ignited fireballs roared towards the city of Wandu.

Although not all the fireballs could hit the target, such a killing effect still made the Goguryeo main fighters hiding in the royal court look ashamed.

"Let's go water! Let's go water!"

The guards in the royal court yelled in panic, and many people picked up buckets or other fire extinguishing tools and rushed towards the fire.

However, no amount of effort is in vain.

With the first, there will be the second, and then the third...

In just half an hour, the entire Wandu royal court was on fire, and smashed buildings could be seen everywhere, even the palaces where the main fighters were located were not spared.

The sky was already dark, but the fireballs of the Han army poured into the city like crazy.

The soldiers operating the trebuchet changed three times, but Meng Chen still did not give the order to stop.

"My lord, I have already got in touch with the city." An Shisan's voice came, and Meng Chen put down the Taoist paper books in his hand.

"How are you preparing?" Meng Chen asked coldly.

"Everything is ready, just wait for the catapult to stop firing." An Shisan replied.

Meng Chen didn't answer, just nodded to Meng Shan, and then said to Lu Qiling: "Qi Ling, prepare to lead troops into the city, those who resist will be killed without mercy."

The three left one after another, but Liu Zheng stayed by Meng Chen's side. Meng Chen's murderous intent just now made Liu Zheng's spirit a little tense.

"Liu Zheng!"

"Subordinates are here."

"Fuyu and Goguryeo will be merged into one, and the Marquis will keep another [-] Xuanjia iron cavalry. If anyone refuses to accept, beat him until he surrenders."

"Government, you must do your best."

After leaving Meng Chen's big tent, Liu Zheng was a little absent-minded, and the moment he dared to speak to Meng Chen, he clearly felt an inviolable majesty.

"The majesty of the superior?" Liu Zheng shook his head self-consciously, and suddenly felt that he still thought of Meng Chen too simply.

The jumping clowns in Wandu City are not worthy of Meng Chen's personal action at all. At dawn, Meng Chen drove into the city under the protection of Meng's army.

The houses on both sides of the road were damaged a lot. Although they had been cleaned once, blood stains could still be seen.

Before the army came to the palace, the palace gate had already been opened, and a group of trembling officials didn't even dare to raise their heads under the pressure of the Xiliang army.

With a "bang", a thin figure was thrown in front of Meng Chen.

"It's done, brother Meng wants to treat me to dumplings!" Lu Qiling laughed.

"Okay, go back to Chang'an and make dumplings for you."

Lu Qiling who heard the words pouted, the fact of the little battle last night was really boring, and finally caught a prince, never thought that Meng Chen would not even look at it.
