Four days passed, but Peng City was still impregnable. They had lost thousands of soldiers, but they had not achieved the desired results. This made Cao Cao's face dark. Everyone had to be careful when they spoke to him, afraid that they would say something wrong and make him angry.
"In the end, I still underestimated Wang Mou's ability. Not only is he good at playing tricks, but his ability to unite as one to defend a place is also not bad!”
At this point, Cao Cao gave up on the idea of quickly taking down Peng City and turned serious.
First, he ordered the army to stop attacking. Although he had tens of thousands of soldiers, he could not waste them like this. Every day, more than a thousand people were abandoned at Peng City. His heart ached for him to death. This was his lifeblood, his capital to fight for power in this chaotic world. How could he waste it like this?
Under Cao Cao's orders, Peng City welcomed three days of relaxation. Although he didn't know what kind of ultimate move Cao Cao was planning, Wang Mou didn't waste any precious time. During these three days, he led his men to repair the city walls, increase the fortifications, create weapons and arrows, or teach the soldiers combat knowledge. He didn't have a single moment of leisure.
Three days later, the Cao army once again arrived at the city gates. Behind the army, there were more than a dozen behemoths. When Wang Mou saw these things, his expression turned solemn. This was because they were the best weapons for attacking the city-catapults!
The catapults moved slowly and had poor accuracy, and their damage to the soldiers was average. However, the destruction of buildings by these catapults was fatal. In addition, their attacks were very loud and had a great impact on morale. They were the most feared equipment for the defenders.
The reason why Cao Cao had to wait for three days was firstly to wait for the follow-up provisions, and secondly, to wait for this thing.
"Wang Mou, my great killing weapon is here. Are you still going to resist?”
"You want to break through my Tough City with just a few catapults? Cao Cao, you must be dreaming!"
"You can continue to be stubborn. When I break through the city wall, I will definitely slaughter you and all the people in the city! Haha…"
Looking at Cao Cao, who was laughing as he left, Wang Mou had a strange expression on his face. You came here just to show off? As expected, he was very cunning. This smug face was really annoying!
"Bomb them ruthlessly and let them see what heavenly might is!”
With a creaking sound, the Cao soldiers began to get busy. They moved stones, tied straps, and did other tedious work.
Wang Mou hurriedly ordered people to set up a cowhide cloth on the top of the city wall and told the people below to stay away. Otherwise, if they were hit by this thing, even if they were tightly grazed, they would still end up with shattered bones.
A series of explosions sounded as more than ten rocks flew towards the city wall with great force, causing the guards 'faces to turn pale with fear!
" Get out of the way!" Wang Mou shouted." Hide behind the obstacles! Don't show your head!"”
All of a sudden, everyone on the city wall fled to seek refuge. Wang Mou himself also hid in the city tower.
Bang, bang, bang... It was like a clap of thunder, followed by the earth shaking and the mountains shaking. It scared everyone so much that their hearts trembled non-stop!
Wang Mou could even feel one of the cannons hitting the city gate tower he was on. His eyelids twitched involuntarily. Before the cannons, this thing was indeed a great killing weapon, similar to the might of the heavens!
Of the dozen or so flying stones, a few hit the city wall, while a few flew over and smashed into the city, destroying many houses. Fortunately, the people had been driven away by Wang Mou, or else there would have been a tragedy. The remaining half hit the city wall, while some completely lost their aim and hit nothing.
"Continue to smash them. Don't stop until you smash their courage away!”
Thus, as Cao Cao laughed proudly, the flying stones bombarded Peng City like meteors.
The thunder in his ears and the tremors under his feet lasted for a long time before they stopped.
Patting his buzzing ears, Wang Mou waited for a while more before walking out.
There were many piles of rubble on the city wall, and several corners of the city tower had been smashed. Even the city wall was smashed into pits.
"Damn Cao Cao, is he venting his anger?”
After polishing the stored stones, the Cao army organized themselves and began to attack.
"The Cao army is here. Everyone, prepare to resist the enemy!”
The defending troops moved out from behind the obstacles. There were almost no casualties, but their legs were a little weak. They were really frightened by the bombing just now!
Seeing this, Wang Mou frowned and shouted,"Cheer up! That thing looks amazing, but it has no effect on us. When the Cao army is attacking the city, they don't dare to use it at all. Otherwise, they will kill their own people!”
Everyone thought that this was indeed the case and felt much more at ease.
"And…"
Wang Mou pointed at the rocks in the corridor." The Cao army is sending weapons up. These rocks will kill even more Cao soldiers. Speaking of which, we should be thanking Cao Cao!”
Everyone was overjoyed. In that case, we still had the advantage!
"Come, shout with me to thank Cao Cao!”
"Thank you for the stones, Lord Cao!" the thousands of people shouted in unison.”
Cao Cao's face darkened. Why were these people so despicable?
The huge pressure brought by the catapults was offset by Wang Mou's words, eliminating the fear in the hearts of the defenders!
