A meteor shower began to fall from the sky. A thousand rockets streaked across the sky and fell towards Gaoping City!
The guards on the city wall were all stunned. Wang Bang also held on tightly to the city wall to prevent himself from falling down, but his entire body was cold and his limbs were weak!
He finally understood what Meng Qian wanted to do! Meng Qian had never thought of attacking Gaoping City. His goal had always been the provisions in Gaoping City!
Everyone was wrong. They subconsciously thought that if they wanted to burn the rations, they had to break through the city. However, there was no necessary connection!
Meng Qian directly sent the fire arrows over the city wall and into the city. A thousand flames were enough to set the rations in the city on fire!
This was also due to the fact that the Gaoping City Wall was not high, only less than 30 feet! If it was like Luoyang City, which was a hundred feet tall city, then Meng Qian had no other choice!
Wang Bang's face turned pale. He only wanted to curse Meng Qian for being too vicious. However, the most important thing now was to save the rations!
This was the lifeblood of the entire rebel army! If the rations were gone, the restless rebels would rebel in an instant!
"We're finished!" Wang Bang shook his head sadly, but he still called over a trusted general and asked him to bring people to help Lin Jie save the rations!
Now, he would save as many as he could!
Meng Qian looked at Gaoping City with a cold expression. He could clearly see that when the 1,000 fire arrows landed on the city!
The entire West City was instantly set ablaze. Western Liang was bitterly cold, and the weather was dry. Many times, a spark could ignite a fire!
Gaoping City was filled with more than 100,000 rebel soldiers 'rations for two to three months. This was what they had plundered from the entire Western Liang and the three auxiliary regions!
A thousand fire arrows had landed on so much grain. The result was unimaginable. The fire instantly ignited and spread rapidly!
Rescue was ineffective!
Meng Qian nodded lightly with an indifferent expression. This was a real war! In order to achieve his goal, he would do anything!
Gaoping's defenders were all trapped in the city. This fire would at least kill a few thousand people! It would definitely be a tragedy in the future!
However, in this era, human lives were really cheap. Countless people died every year because of wars and rebellions!
On the other side, Meng Hu had already ordered the Middle Corps to begin the second round of firing. The 1,000 fire arrows were just the beginning. This fire was going to be even more violent!
Meanwhile, Meng Qian took a bow from his personal guard. It was the same as the one used by the central army. It was longer and heavier, had a longer range, and was more powerful!
Sensing the power of the bow, Meng Qian's heart was also stirred. This bow was definitely different!
Few people in this era knew about it, but it was famous 400 years ago!
Its name was Qin Crossbow!
The Qin army's crossbows!
The Qin army brought it out of Hangu Pass and conquered the six states! The Great Wall Army had used it to slaughter countless Xiongnu and Barbarians in the grasslands!
Blood flowed like a river outside the Great Wall. The Xiongnu did not dare to take a single step south!
Qin crossbow had forged its name with blood!
Unfortunately, after the Great Wall Army was destroyed, the Qin crossbow's craftsmanship was slowly lost. Today, one could only see its appearance in some ancient books from the early Han Dynasty!
However, there was no record of its production process. The Qin crossbow had long been lost in the Great Han Dynasty!
However, there were still records of it in the Meng family. The Meng family had clearly passed down the method of making it!
There was even a Qin Crossbow from the Great Wall Army. Although it was no longer usable, Meng Qian had carefully studied its structure!
When Meng Qian gained his own military power, he ordered the craftsmen to make Qin crossbows. There were not many, only about 1,000 of them, which was only enough for the central army!
Of course, Meng Qian did not plan to deploy more. Most of his troops were cavalry, and Qin crossbows were most suitable for infantry!
Therefore, these 1,000 Qin crossbows were enough!
The range of ordinary arrows was only a hundred meters, but the range of Qin crossbows was nearly five hundred meters, and they could easily pass through the city walls!
At this moment, the second round of volleys from the central army had already been completed. The flames in the city were even bigger. The place was filled with dry rations. The defenders in the city could not save them at all. Instead, many people were burned to death!
The overall situation was set. Gao Ping's rations were finished, and the rebel army was also finished. Meng Qian had succeeded. Unless there was a heavy rain at this time, the rebel army would definitely be defeated!
However, if that was the case, Meng Qian's luck would be too terrible! However, he would not be angered to death like Zhuge Liang!
Meng Qian did not think about anything else. At this moment, his target was Wang Bang, who was on the city wall!
It was impossible for the rebel army to turn the tables. Then Meng Qian would have to teach Wang Bang, that sh * t-stirring stick, a lesson!
Anyone who dared to be so arrogant in front of Meng Qian would have died long ago! Wang Bang was next! Moreover, he was the younger brother of the rebel leader, Wang Bang. Killing Wang Bang was also a great merit!
Meng Qian held the cold Qin crossbow and drew an arrow. He instantly pulled the bowstring and aimed it at the figure on the city wall!
At this moment, Wang Bang's face was pale. In his panic, he could only support his body by supporting himself on the city wall. Half of his head was exposed!
He looked at the fire in the city with a miserable expression and muttered,"I'm finished this time. There's no more rations. The army can't hold on anymore. Big brother won't forgive me!”
Wang Bang was terrified, and his body was weak as if he had lost his soul. However, he was instantly awakened by the heat wave from the city!
Then, his face became extremely ferocious. He turned his head towards the outside of the city and roared in a low voice,"Meng Qian, damn Meng Qian, how can you be so vicious!”
He hated Meng Qian to the core. The rations of hundreds of thousands of soldiers had been burned. The rebel army would collapse instantly, and he would die a miserable death!
He looked at Meng Qian outside the city with a ferocious expression. However, this glance made his body instantly stiffen!
He suddenly saw Meng Qian draw a huge bow. His target seemed to be him ~
Wang Bang's body stiffened, and his mouth was slightly agape. He looked incredulous. He subconsciously wanted to dodge, but Meng Qian did not give him time!
By the time Wang Bang turned around, Meng Qian had already released his bow. Under the powerful force, the arrow instantly rushed towards Wang Bang!
Meng Qian's strength was much stronger than those soldiers. The arrows he shot out could not be seen at all!
However, Wang Bang saw a black dot flying towards him. He wanted to dodge, but his reaction speed could not compare to Meng Qian's arrow!
The powerful arrow hit Wang Bang in the middle of his forehead. Under the powerful force, the arrow pierced through his skull, bringing out a red and white thing, and stabbed into the throat of a rebel general!
Wang Bang's gaze was completely unfocused as his body fell back. There was still disbelief in his eyes!
The soldiers on the city wall looked at Wang Bang's corpse and instantly fell silent. Then, with a loud bang, countless people were terrified!
"The general is dead!"
They were running and crying loudly, and the fire in the city was getting bigger and bigger. The entire Gaoping City seemed to have become a big furnace!
