The city tower was silent.
The soldiers glared at him.
The surrounding officials and generals did not dare to say anything.
"General Liu."
Zhu Hao's face was ashen as he coldly rebuked," My father was also born in a poor family. Are you going to call him a commoner?"”
"I wouldn't dare."
The Sect General's expression changed.
Zhu Rong was a general of the imperial court. Even if he lost his power, he was not someone he could provoke.
"Then shut up."
Zhu Hao held his sword and walked into the distance, saying in a deep voice,""Be on guard against the Red Cliff Army's attack. Once a battle breaks out, immediately beat the drums and gather the troops!”
"Here."
The soldiers shouted.
Outside the city.
Dust flew into the air on Mount Feihong.
Large trees were transported to the camp.
The soldiers of the various battalions began to build the cannons.
After all, this was a siege weapon. As long as they built enough, they would not have to use their flesh and blood to attack the city.
Night fell.
The camp was brightly lit.
The soldiers were not only shouting for supper.
At the same time, it made the soldiers in Nan Chang City jittery.
"How is it?"
Wang Xiong raised his torch and asked as he came to the forging site.
"My lord."
Gan Ning was sweating profusely as he carried a large wooden sword."I've already built three Hui Hui Cannons. I estimate that I'll be able to build ten tomorrow morning!”
"Not bad."
Liao Hua and Zhao Yi shouted.
Wang Xiong bent down and grabbed a handful of wood shavings, saying in a deep voice,"Collect the wood shavings and soak them in alchemical fire oil. Then, wrap them in tents and mix them with stones to make stone pills.”
"Swoosh."
Instantly, the eyes of countless soldiers lit up.
Wood shavings were easily flammable, and stones were used as weights. If they hit the city wall, they would instantly explode and cause a large area of fire. They were simply sharp weapons for fire attacks.
"Haha."
"My lord is a great talent."
Gan Ning, Liao Hua, and Zhao Yi threw their heads back and laughed.
"Haha."
Wang Xiong's gaze swept across the surrounding soldiers and said in a deep voice,"Send out a battalion to rest. When the cannons are finished, let them come out to patrol the camp. You can rest then.”
"Here."
All the soldiers shouted.
"Continue."
Wang Xiong walked towards the commander's tent.
The moon rises high.
Red Cliff Camp was still bustling with activity.
It was only until dawn that the shouts stopped.
When the sun rose, ten Hui Hui cannons stood tall in the camp, wantonly emitting a ferocious aura that made people fearful.
On the tower of Nanchang.
Zhu Hao and a group of officials climbed up the city wall with dark circles under their eyes.
"Governor."
" Last night, the Red Cliff Army didn't stop shouting until dawn," one of the generals said dispiritedly." After daybreak, we could see many elevated platforms erected in their camp. We don't know what they were.”
"Oh?"
Everyone looked over in confusion.
"This is?"
The sect general asked in confusion.
"Wang Zhengnan."
"What a good Red Cliff Army."
Zhu Hao's face was deathly pale, and his entire body was trembling.
The sect general frowned and asked in confusion,"Mayor Zhu, what is this?"
"Catapults."
"A siege weapon."
Zhu Hao's face was ferocious and terrifying. He gritted his teeth and asked,""General Liu, catapults are forbidden weapons in the imperial court, and the generals in the court don't know how to build them. Are the Red Cliff Army really just ordinary bandits?”
"This…!"
The sect generals did not dare to reply.
Zong Shuai Liu Ying had died in Shangliaojin, and the Great Han had even created the forbidden catapult. How could he guarantee that the Red Cliff Army was still a normal pirate?
"Governor."
The surrounding generals were horrified.
Zhu Hao suppressed the panic in his heart and said in horror,""Don't panic. The catapults only have a range of two hundred steps. We're high up on the city walls, so we might be able to restrain the arrows.”
"Here."
The generals shouted.
Time slowly passed.
The oppressive feeling on the city tower grew stronger.
Zhu Hao was an official of Nan Chang, and the general of the clan did not dare to leave.
Until…
At noon.
The 3rd Battalion of the Red Cliff Army sent troops.
Ten cannons were pushed and arranged 400 steps in front of the city.
Nearly nine thousand soldiers formed three square formations, and the Red Cliff Army's flag was erected in front.
"Kick."
"Kick."
Wang Xiong rode his horse to the front and looked at the city tower from five hundred steps away. He smiled faintly and said,"Call out, please come out of the city and surrender!”
"Governor, please come out of the city and surrender."
"Governor, please come out of the city and surrender."
"Governor, please come out of the city and surrender."
The nine thousand soldiers of the three formations raised their weapons and pointed at the enemy on the city.
Red Cliff's flag fluttered in the air, and a murderous aura that was like a black cloud that was pressing down on the city wreaked havoc on this land.
"Bastard!"
"Bastard!"
"These traitors."
Zhu Hao's eyes turned red.
He came from a military family, his father was a famous general, and his elder brother was in Jiaozhi.
Wang Xiong and the Red Cliff Army shouted for him to surrender. This was undoubtedly a humiliation to the Zhu family.
"Governor."
"Fight to the death to defend the city."
"The Red Cliff Army has only occupied a small area of the sea. They have nearly ten thousand soldiers, and their rations won't last long."”
"I'm afraid not."
" We have more than a million stones of grain in reserve," the sect general said with a bitter smile." Although we took some away, we still left a few hundred thousand stones. It can support them for several months!"”
"What?"
Instantly, Zhu Hao and the generals were extremely shocked and furious.
