The daily routine of raising cubs in the Western Han Dynasty [game]

Turn the gears back to the tenth day of February.

After ten days, New Boning has almost found out the situation of the Mang army.

Wang Mang came in person.

There are more than 10 elite personal guards, plus the left and right guards, this part of the force is at least [-].

But the strange thing is that the day after Wang Mang arrived at the battlefield, he moved the 10 people to the place farthest from New Boning.Even he is no exception.

Let alone 25 miles away.

The defenders were on the city wall, and they couldn't even see where Wang Mang was.

"Wang Mang's imperial conquest, but he is so greedy for life and afraid of death!"

"Why do you hide behind—"

The repeated trash talking on the battlefield has indeed shaken the confidence of the Mang Army to some extent.But this slight wavering, compared to tens of millions of people, is not worth mentioning at all.

The Mang army claims to have a population of 180 million.

This is the banner they played on the first day of the siege, and it was more than the million people in the city thought at first.

Liu Xiu said calmly: "Squeeze out the water and divide it in half. At most, it will be 80."

He Zhang and others are afraid that the word "million" has already caused eye pain. Thinking about the 80 in Liu Xiu's mouth, it doesn't seem like a lot.

I didn't expect that one day, there would be a time when 80 was too little.

But in fact, it is extremely difficult to resist the siege of far more than 2 people with less than 50 people in the city.

The number of the reckless army is so huge, compared to when the defenders didn't stop at all.

After ten consecutive days, defending the city has become a mechanical action. When a person is completely dull, he will no longer consider the reaction of the outside world.

kill.

kill.

kill.

All eyes were blood red.

On the tenth day of February, the Mang army stopped its offensive.

But not backing away.

Liu Xiu climbed up to the wall tower to observe the current movements of the Mang army from afar.

"It's too dangerous here." The general guarding the city was terrified. The armor on his body was almost covered in blood, and the few traces that were barely exposed were full of mottled and messy knife marks.

Liu Xiu said calmly, "Don't worry."

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the huge object that was gradually pushed to the middle of the Mang army beyond the black mass of human heads.

Like a carriage, there are bows and crossbows as long as the arms of apes, and there are winches on the left and right. Dozens of hundreds of people surround each bow and crossbow, following closely like ants.

Liu Xiu said abruptly: "Put on the shield, and if you attack the wall too hard, retreat directly into the wall."

The guard didn't know Liu Xiu's intentions. It was very difficult to guard every position on the city wall, but now he wants to give up?It can be seen that he has a tough attitude, but he can only give orders.

Ordinary siege crossbows may not be so worrying!

In just a quarter of an hour, there were at least dozens of bows and ballistas pushed up from the Mang army's formation.

volley!

Hundreds of thick giant arrows are heading towards the city wall, their strength and speed far surpassing all siege bows and crossbows in the world!

shhhhh--

If it hits a little lower, it will be firmly nailed to the wall, and if it is a little higher, it will go over the top of the wall and directly penetrate the chests of several soldiers.It also has the effect of flying to the tower and directly shooting the watchman.

Only then did the guard understand Liu Xiu's worries!

When the reckless army fired a volley, the defenders, not to mention poking their heads, or hiding under the walls, might die.

After several rounds of shooting, there were endless screams on the city wall.

The guard tried his best to investigate, and his voice became sharp in shock: "Those crossbows and arrows can be nailed to the wall!" This undoubtedly added a lot of attachments to the bare wall.

When there are more crossbows and arrows on the wall, it will no longer be difficult to climb by relying on the wall!

But the bow and ballista stopped for a while, and the retreating Mang army began to attack the city again.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of gunfire.

The successive bombings made the city wall explode like black flowers one after another.

The city wall, which had been rebuilt for less than a year, was still barely standing after going through so many hardships, unmoved.However, more than half of the defenders guarding the wall were killed or injured.

Wang Mang held a half-formed telescope in his hand.

Throw it in your hand again and again.

"Your Majesty, this, don't hurt the generals of the defending army...it's a bit difficult."

Beside him, the commander of the Mang Army was behind Wang Mang, wiping his sweat and said helplessly.

There is no eye in this siege, there will always be accidents, how can we guarantee that no one will be hurt in the battle?

This is too difficult.

Wang Mang said sinisterly, "I need you to teach me how to do things?"

The commander was startled and lowered his head.

"Liu Xiu, you can't die."

Wang Mang's voice sounded a bit rough as if it had been honed by rough sand, "I want to kill him with my own hands. And if you can't do this, you don't have to come back."

He swung his horsewhip and pointed to the front: "That is your best destination."

"...The humble official will definitely capture Liu Xiu alive!"

This is the rear of the barracks, and Wang Mang never took a step forward.

On the 25th, on the [-]th, on the [-]th...

At the beginning, the Mang army attacked New Boning with all its strength, and even planned to surrender.

But Wang Mang was rejected.

"He won't surrender." Wang Mang said, "If he can surrender..."

He paused.

As if remembering something.

Wang Mang remembered the records in history and looked up at the sky.

Laughed out loud.

Even if there is a way of heaven, what can he do?

It may last until the end of February, which is indeed beyond Wang Mang's expectations.

All the bows, ballistas, and cannons in the mang army's tent are all created by him in the history of later generations.It's not that he didn't think of building a cold weapon. In this world, he himself had touched and dismantled it, and he knew its structure better.

But no matter how he tried, how he drove the craftsmen to use their talents, it was all in vain.

So Wang Mang knew that some processes cannot be advanced too much.

Simply these are enough.

On the [-]th of February, the left and right wings of Wang Mang's army were frequently attacked.

Wang Mang knew that it was the blocked reinforcements trying to attract their attention, how similar this was to the historical battle of Kunyang.

His dark eyes were fixed on the wall.

Looking back at the sky.

The harassment from the two wings continued, but Wang Mang only wanted to attack New Boning by force, and even opened his mouth, trying to lure chaos in the city and let the defenders flee.But I don't know whether it was because he was afraid of the offensive of the reckless army, or because Liu Xiu's cohesive force was so strong that no one escaped through the gap.

No signs of defeat have been seen for a long time, and the generals below have repeatedly asked for further offensives.

On February 28, Wang Mang agreed and ordered a storm.

A hundred bows and crossbows were pushed forward, braving the arrow rain of the defenders.

"emission!"

Each bow and ballista requires at least a hundred soldiers to operate, and it took nearly ten thousand people to dispatch the entire hundred.Its extravagance and preciousness can be imagined, and the Mang army was pushed to the forefront of the camp, which was a signal.

On the city wall, the remaining defenders looked out from the dilapidated buttressed walls.

Various shades of blood stained the broken limbs on the pile walls, as if painted thickly with paint, and it was impossible to tell whether it was the enemy or the defenders.They no longer knew how many times they repelled the offensives of the Mang army, and how many times they thought it was the last time, but they still held on, and competed with them exhaustedly for the land occupied by the city wall.

And their leader—

Liu Xiu is also here.

Yes, under the multiple propaganda and demonstrations of the Mang Army, their protagonist Qin Yu, or Cai Wen, or Liu Xiu... all had their heavy vests stripped off.

The guards should have a sense of deceit and betrayal, but after facing many miraculous things about Liu and Liu Xiu, it seems to be some kind of divine praise.

Liu Xiu has been fighting side by side with them.

And on the battlefield, he is like a god.

Liu Xiu can often avoid dangerous and dangerous situations, as if there is a big hand controlling everything invisible, or the heavens have pity on him.

Just like when the huge Kanto was hit by locust plagues and droughts, only Xinbo escaped the catastrophe.

This strange feeling that cannot be described in words strengthened the cohesion of the defenders for some reason.

They firmly believe that the Lord is a heavenly being.

He is the Son of Man most favored by God.

However, no matter how strong the belief was, it couldn't help but crumble when the Mang army launched its final offensive.

They have suffered from these bows and crossbows, and now there are countless crossbows and arrows on the outer wall. The reckless army often relies on these to storm the city wall and compete with the defenders for control of the wall.After being beaten down, someone climbed up again, and the corpses under the city wall, regardless of the defenders, had gradually piled up.

If Liu Xiu hadn't strengthened the city wall twice in the past, he could climb up the wall by stepping on the dead bodies without even needing to climb.

"volley--"

The reckless army blew the horn.

For a whole month, tens of millions of soldiers and horses could not attack a single city, which undoubtedly hurt the confidence of the Mang army.But among them, there is also the reason why Wang Mang asked for restraint.

Now that Long live gives the order, then he can let go.

The commander of the Mang army and the guards of the various counties gathered in one place, and they had already divided the range of attack.

After many rounds of firing, it was artillery fire——

Under a series of pressures, the Mang army gradually approached the city gate pushing the siege logs.

There were spies on the turret looking desperately, and then shouted sharply: "The city gate, the city gate—the siege log is on—"

Liu Xiu's fingers twitched uncontrollably, it was a spasm after excessive force.He forced himself to press down, and said calmly: "Pick out a team from various places to reinforce the city gate."

Xu Changping also held the knife, shaking his head wearily: "My lord, there is no one left."

If the manpower were drawn, there would not be enough guards on that wall.

"There are still 300 people at the granary plus the guards that Axu transferred there, all of them will be transferred here." Liu Xiu said slowly, "There are also 25 people for each of the city walls, one hundred people for each branch. Go—"

He gripped the knife hard.

"Are we not human anymore?"

Liu Xiu personally led the remaining generals to block the front line.

Xu Changping felt sad and took his orders to leave.

"boom--"

Heavy impact!

The siege log was forced to charge at the gate of the city, and the flesh and blood were pressed tightly inside the city. It was just a confrontation between strength and strength.

"one two three--"

"Come on!"

Shouting outside the city, shouting inside the city.

No matter how old the city gate was, it could not sustain it after many days of attacks.

It trembled and made a fragmented sound, as if it was the last cry.

Manpower is still there, and things are hard to do.

Xu Changping was also among the people pushing the city gate, he raised his head subconsciously, looking at the city gate that was trembling more and more, feeling hopeless in his heart.

It is clear that it has reached this point, but it still cannot stop the sorrowful mess that is about to happen——

So what!

When night fell, Xu Changping's calf twitched, and the pain caused him to lose strength and fall to the ground.And he seemed to have no strength to get up, staring blankly at the pitch-black sky, the stars hanging upside down in his eyes were so bright.

Wait, stars?

Xu Changping staggered to his feet, fell to his knees, and stared at the sky in a daze.In his eyes, it seemed that countless meteors were falling. It was like a grand and silent funeral.

"flow……"

There was a rattling sound in his throat, as if something was clogging it, and he could barely make a sound.

"meteor……"

He said it.

"meteor!"

Xu Changping cried out loudly.

Right now.

Wang Mang, who was at the rear of the army, suddenly put down the half-formed telescope in his hand, showing surprise for the first time.

"As expected...?"

He muttered to himself, it was not as good as the panic of the mang army driving outside.

Wang Mang got up from the shaft of the chariot, pulled out his sword, and said sharply, "What are you panicking about! The left and right commanders, quickly evacuate according to the previous order—"

Although I don't know why, but in a hurry, the left and right commanders did remember His Majesty's previous order, and shouted loudly to order Wang Mang's [-] cronies to withdraw quickly.

Did His Majesty know this in advance?

Such thoughts, even in critical moments, couldn't help crashing into their minds.

The chariots and horses panicked, and the people turned their backs.

Despite their speed, the stars are faster.

The falling meteor seems to have taken a fancy to this place as the tomb of stars, and bombarded it wildly with joy.It's like a feast that only belongs to the stars, with the blood and flesh of countless people as sacrifices——

"run!"

"Run away..."

"Hide and hide!"

"what is this?"

"Oh my god, the gods are furious!"

"mother……"

The mang army panicked and fled with their heads in their arms.

Naturally, the Xinbo army also hid urgently, after all, the meteor group does not blink, and there are many soldiers who were killed by falling stones.

Some generals dragged Liu Xiu and tried to take him off the wall for cover, but Liu Xiu refused.

His fingers trembled violently, but he pressed harder on the handle of the knife.

Liu Xiu stood on the city wall, looking at the tragic scene of annihilation only a few miles away, his eyes were full of indifference.

Above the huge wall, he is the only one who is independent.

Looking at the fleeing people and horses in the distance, it was like being stuck in Wang Mang's body among thousands of troops.

Wang Mang subconsciously covered his eyes, feeling the pain for some reason.

He sat in the mad carriage, so uncomfortable that he almost vomited.What's rare is that Wang Mang didn't say a word, and let the groom drive away, his heart was only cold.

It turned out to be true.

Wang Mang's expressionless old face suddenly showed a frenzied joy.

it is true.

it is true.

it is true.

Ever since he passed through here, he has never felt so strongly that his wish is really possible to come true.

In the wrath of the stars.

Walking through the tragedy in the world, Wang Mang laughed out loud.

One hundred thousand troops quickly withdrew from the deadly battlefield and fled far away.Although their chief general, Wang Mang, seems to have a good chance of winning, the ignorant soldiers think that they have caused the punishment of heaven and violated the gods. After gradually turning away from the purgatory on earth behind them, their losses are not serious.

Or because they are not at the core of the battlefield.

The leading general was pale and clutched the reins tightly.I am going to hide ten miles away directly according to the order of the lord at the beginning, and make a decision after the matter in the field is resolved.

For some reason, the speed ahead slowed down.

After a few breaths, the sentinel rushed over from front to back.

"General, there is an enemy situation—"

Three miles away, strange soldiers and horses were displayed impressively.

The leader is a Confucian general.

Cai Xuning showed a smile, which was even more cruel.

"Good come."
