The commander of this Han army was actually Meng Qian!
Not far away, the 'Meng' flag was burning like a flame in the wind. It was too dazzling!
Not only was Wang Bang's body stiff and his expression ferocious, even Lin Jie, who had always been calm, was not any better. His face was dark and his mouth was slightly open, looking like he could not believe it!
Gaoping City was protected by an army of more than 100,000 soldiers. At this moment, a huge cavalry army had appeared out of nowhere!
This was already hard for them to believe, but what made them even more uncomfortable was that this was Meng Qian's army!
Meng Qian's reputation was well-known in Western Liang. He had joined the Han army when he was young and had experienced countless battles. He had used his blood and corpses to become a lieutenant general!
He had suppressed the Qiang rebellion, slaughtered the Xiongnu, and participated in the Yellow Turban rebellion. Countless enemies had died in his hands. It could really be described as a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!
Moreover, Meng Qian's martial arts skills were outstanding. There were only a few people in Western Liang who could withstand ten moves from him. The enemies who died at his hands often did not need a second move!
There were too many legends about Meng Qian in the Western Liang border area. Moreover, they had personally experienced Meng Qian's terror!
In the Battle of Chencang, Meng Qian had led 10,000 cavalry to defeat 30,000 rebel soldiers, becoming the reason for the rebel army's defeat!
It also became the turning point of the entire rebellion. The Han army began to counterattack, and the number of rebel soldiers who died in Meng Qian's hands after that was even more numerous!
If not for the Jingshui terrain, the rebel army would have collapsed!
And now, Meng Qian, this killing god, had actually avoided the bluestone shore and appeared directly at Gaoping City!
This made Wang Bang and Lin Jie feel terrified. Even the other guards who saw the flag were also terrified and panicked!
Meng Qian's fame was too great. To those low-level soldiers, Meng Qian was like an invincible god of war, making them cower before they even fought!
This was Meng Qian, a person who had dominated the world with his fame!
Panic spread among the soldiers. Although Wang Bang and Lin Jie were also uncomfortable, they knew that they had to appease these soldiers!
Otherwise, before Meng Qian's army could even attack! They were the first to collapse!
"Brothers, don't be afraid! " They're cavalry, so they can't attack us. If we hold on for another four hours, our reinforcements will arrive. At that time, even Meng Qian won't be able to escape!”
Wang Bang stood on the city wall and shouted at the top of his lungs. While cheering the soldiers on, he was also comforting himself!
Although Meng Qian was powerful, that was only in the field. Now, he occupied Gaoping and had 10,000 troops guarding it!
If Meng Qian wanted to break through this city, he would need at least three to four days. With this time, his reinforcements would have arrived long ago!
Moreover, they might even be able to work together from the inside and kill Meng Qian in one fell swoop!
In that case, the name of his kingdom would spread throughout the entire Western Liang! He was no longer just the younger brother of the kingdom!
Hearing the general's reassurance, although the soldiers were still worried, they at least calmed down. Since things had come to this, they had to hold on for a battle!
Moreover, the reinforcements were indeed not far from them! It would not be easy for Meng Qian to take down Gao Ping in a short period of time!
Wang Bang roared and became bolder. He seemed to be certain that Gao Ping would not be breached. It would be useless even if Meng Qian came!
He simply laid on the city wall and arrogantly shouted at the bottom of the city,"Meng Qian, aren't you very powerful? If you have the ability, then attack!"
"I, Wang Bang, will wait for you here! Come over here!"
Wang Bang was too arrogant, directly provoking Meng Qian. One had to know that those who dared to do this in the past would have long gone to see the King of Hell!
Meng Qian had earned his reputation by killing!
Meng Qian sat on his horse and listened to Wang Bang's provocation. There was no fluctuation on his face. He was still indifferent. Naturally, he would not be angry because of Wang Bang's provocation!
He stared coldly at Wang Bang's figure. He would remember this person!
"Who said that I was going to attack the city?"”
Only the people around him could hear his voice, but Wang Bang could see the changes in the Han army's formation. It had already been completed!
It was not a siege formation at all. There were no ladders or catapults! Meng Qian's subordinates were all cavalrymen, and a long-distance raid required speed, so he couldn't bring catapults!
Most importantly, Meng Qian had never planned to take Gaoping City. His mission was to burn the provisions in Gaoping City and destroy the foundation of the rebel army, causing the rebel army to collapse!
Gao Ping was not a strategic stronghold, so there was no need to take it down!
On the city wall, after Wang Bang became arrogant, he stood on the city wall and looked at Meng Qian in high spirits. He was very happy when he thought that Meng Qian would be defeated by him!
However, when he saw the formation of the Han army, he was slightly stunned. He did not know what the Han army was up to!
However, Lin Jie suddenly exclaimed,""This is bad. Meng Qian is going to set the city on fire. Prepare shields, prepare fire-fighting items, and save the rations!”
Lin Jie shouted in shock. He hurriedly ran down to the city to prepare for the remedy. He could not care less about Wang Bang. He had already thought of Meng Qian's goal and his heart turned cold!
Too vicious!
Wang Bang's reaction was a little slow as he looked at his back. He was still in a daze, but the Han army had already completed their preparations and was about to start moving!
The entire Middle Corps was arranged in a tight formation, surrounded by the other four armies. Every soldier in the Middle Corps was holding a huge crossbow in their hands!
It was twice as big as the crossbows that cavalry usually used for riding and shooting. No one had ever seen this kind of bow before, but it seemed to be very powerful!
Meng Hu stood in front of the formation, holding a saber in his hand and shouting loudly,"Raise your arrows!"
In an instant, all the soldiers in the middle took out a special arrow. It was longer, thicker, and darker!
The most important thing was that the front was wrapped in a layer of oilcloth. This was the rocket of this era!
"Light the fire!" The order continued!
At this moment, a soldier on a horse quickly rushed out of every row of soldiers. He held a lit torch in his hand and was running at high speed!
Soon, all the rockets were ignited. The soldiers raised their heads at a 45-degree angle and aimed them directly at Gaoping City!
"Get ready!" Meng Hu continued to roar. All the soldiers pulled their bowstrings to the limit. The taut force could predict its power!
"Release!"
The final order was given. All the soldiers in the middle army released their bowstrings at the same time, and a thousand fire arrows instantly rose from the ground!
It drew a semi-arc in the sky and charged straight into Gaoping City! It was as beautiful as a meteor shower!
At this moment, all the soldiers guarding the city opened their mouths wide, and their breathing stopped!
