September 6th.
In the Feihong Mountain Range in Nan Chang.
Birds flew out of the forest, and beasts fled deep into the mountains.
The killing intent emanating from the Red Cliff Army was unbearable for these living beings.
Red Cliff Military Camp.
The army tents stretched out.
In the depths of the military camp, the flag stood on one side of the commander's tent.
The patrolling soldiers all stopped and stared at him, their gazes filled with fervor and reverence.
At noon.
Zhao Yi arrived with 6,000 new soldiers.
Furthermore, they were escorting many arrows, rations, alchemical fire oil, and other strategic resources.
In the commander's tent.
The three generals stood by his side.
Wang Xiong sat on the marshal's seat, folded Qiao Rui's letter, and said in a deep voice,""You guys did well. When we take down Nanchang, it's equivalent to wiping out half of Yuzhang.”
"Here."
Zhao Yi said respectfully.
"My lord," Gan Ning said,"the walls of Nan Chang are so tall. How are we going to break them? Do we really have to build ladders and use the lives of our soldiers to fill them?"”
"I won't."
Wang Xiong smiled calmly.
"What should we do?" Gan Ning asked.”
"Haha."
Wang Xiong took out a drawing from the table and smiled lightly,"Mount Feihong is full of siege weapons. The forest and trees everywhere are our sharp blades.”
"This is?"
The three of them went forward to watch.
Wang Xiong narrowed his eyes and said,"The blueprint of the catapult."”
"I've seen trebuchets in Yizhou," Gan Ning said in surprise."They're worlds apart from this one. The blueprints are much more complicated.”
"Gulp."
Wang Xiong took a sip of tea and said lightly," What you saw was a man-powered catapult, and this is a ballista. It can throw a stone pellet weighing more than a hundred pounds 500 steps away, so it is also called a return cannon!”
"Hiss."
The three of them gasped.
Such a siege weapon was simply devastating.
"Heh."
Wang Xiong chuckled.
After the battle at Shangliaojin, his reputation in Haiying was boiling.
Only then could he exchange for the blueprints of the Counterweight Catapult in the system store.
This was a siege weapon from hundreds of years later. In this era, it was almost like an industrial crush, so there was no need to worry about how to attack the city.
"My lord."
"This lowly general requests to ascend first."
Gan Ning's eyes burned with excitement.
Take the lead.
The first to climb the city.
They were almost certain to die.
At the same time, if the first to ascend the mountain could survive, they would also become warriors in the army.
"I request to fight."
Liao Hua and Zhao Yi said unwillingly.
"No rush."
"Liao Hua's 1st Battalion, Zhao Yi's 3rd Battalion, Gan Ning's 5th Battalion." Wang Xiong waved his hand and said in a low voice,"You will break the 6,000 new soldiers into the city. Then, you will use the blueprints to cut down trees and forge weapons. We will attack the city on the 8th of September."”
"Here."
The three of them roared with killing intent.
The Red Cliff Army was growing.
Other than Huang Qi, who was guarding the camp, they were all competitors.
Those who joined the army prioritized military merits. Who could refuse the honor of being the first to ascend the flag and shake the world?
"Go ahead."
Wang Xiong smiled in relief.
A healthy competition was beneficial to the development of the Red Cliff Army.
He had the system with him, so how could he risk the lives of his soldiers to attack the city?
Within a day, the Red Cliff Army's three battalions had absorbed all six thousand new soldiers. Each battalion had three thousand soldiers. Including the garrison troops of Hai Hun, they were already comparable to a local tyrant.
September 7th.
The army left the camp and began to cut down trees on Mount Feihong.
For a time, dust covered the entire mountain range, and trees fell one by one.
Nanchang.
On the city tower.
The 2,000-odd soldiers looked into the distance with their mouths agape.
Zhu Hao stood on the city gate tower and asked in confusion," Why aren't these Red Cliff soldiers attacking the city and cutting down trees? Are they going to make scaling ladders on the spot?"”
"I don't know."
A general said blankly.
On the side, the Sect General said in fear," Governor Zhu, the Red Cliff Army can't be underestimated. After they dared to slaughter the Han clan members, they're committing treason. We should inform the Prefecture Overseer as soon as possible and send an army to eliminate them.”
"Yes."
Zhu Hao's face sank.
The young general refuted," The Prefecture Overseer is currently fighting with the scoundrel Yuan Shu. How can he have the time to suppress the bandits? Besides, don't you have the Zong Wu?"”
"I lost."
"Completely defeated."
"Wang Zhengnan is ferocious. He led 3,000 Red Cliff soldiers and defeated Zong Wu at Shangliaojin. Even our Zong Commander Liu Ying died on the battlefield."”
"Hiss."
The general gasped.
"Wang Zhengnan."
Zhu Hao's eyes were filled with solemnity.
He had long known that the Sect Division had been defeated and that Liu Ying had died in battle.
If it weren't for Liu Yao's inability to split himself, he would have asked for help from the Prefecture Overseer Manor, but now he could only rely on the city's size to stop this army.
"Governor."
At this moment, an official ascended the city tower and reported,""The scouts have sent news that the Red Cliff Army sent an additional six thousand soldiers yesterday.”
"What?"
"These lowlifes."
"How dare you join the Red Cliff Army?"
The Sect General's blood boiled as he cursed loudly with a flushed face.
"Swoosh."
Hundreds of guards around the city gate tower looked over.
They were also ordinary citizens who joined the army.
Now, the generals of the Liu Clan were calling the people of Haihun as commoners, which was no different from insulting them.
No wonder Haihun fell and Shang Liaojin's Wu Fortress was breached by the Red Cliff Army. This was the gathering of the people, and no one in the world could stop it.
