Bang!
A stone hit Zhou Cang on the head, making him dizzy and almost causing him to fall to the ground.
This infuriated him. Arrows couldn't penetrate his defenses, but a hit from this stone would be devastating; his head was buzzing.
He directly targeted Zhang Liao and Jia Xu; they needed heavy firepower.
"Strategist, these people know that our lord intends to take Little Pine Mountain, yet they still dare to resist! Not only did they not run away, but they even threw stones at me! They're simply bullying an honest person!"
Jia Xu glared at him and said irritably, "Get lost! You think you're an honest person? If someone throws stones at you, wouldn't you throw stones at them back?"
"Hahaha, the strategist is right. Our lord has specially equipped us with siege crossbows and catapults. These things are excellent for long-range bombardment." Zhang Liao couldn't help but laugh heartily.
"That's right!"
Zhou Cang suddenly realized what was happening and shouted, "Brothers, push this catapult up here! You want to throw stones at me, huh? Well, I'll throw stones at you too!"
Siege crossbows are one thing, they can even pierce through warhorses, but this catapult is even more brutal. A stone the size of a millstone flies over, and whether you're human or ghost, you're all doomed!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
This time they brought ten catapults, which were used in combination to unleash their destructive power even more perfectly, turning the front defenses of Little Pine Mountain into a pile of fragments in an instant.
As for the soldiers, they hurriedly retreated, while those who couldn't retreat in time were hit squarely and turned into a pile of minced meat.
Even so, the enemy showed no sign of retreating; instead, they fought back desperately.
"Interesting, this guy's fearless!"
Seeing this, Zhang Liao couldn't sit still any longer.
Although this kind of attack doesn't cause you much personal loss, it's a complete waste of time, giving the opponent more time to react, which is very bad.
He glanced at his personal guards and said in a deep voice, " Chen Pi, bring me my treasure!"
"Baby?"
Zhou Cang was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Chen Pi bring the item, his face turned green, and he subconsciously took a few steps back.
Holy crap, a bomb!
He couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine, saying, "General, the enemy only numbers 20,000. Isn't using such a powerful weapon a bit of a waste?"
Using heavy firepower against such a small number of people is simply outrageous.
"Snort!"
Zhang Liao glanced at him and sneered, "This general spent a few days learning in the mines and finally managed to acquire some treasures. They were lucky before because there were outsiders around, so they couldn't use them. Now that there are no outsiders, they naturally want to have some fun!"
Those days it's been all about blasting the mountain, this time we're going to blast something different.
He looked at Chen Pi and ordered, " Chen Pi, you keep an eye on it. Tie a stone to it and throw it accurately. If you miss, you're not eating today!"
"Don't worry, boss, I'm incredibly accurate!" Chen Pi's eyes also lit up. He had gone to the mines with his boss for training before, and he had personally witnessed the power of this stuff. It was absolutely awesome.
With such a weak defense, the enemy is practically courting death.
He simply tied a stone to it so it could fly farther, and aimed and fired in one smooth motion!
Cha'er, who had been hiding behind a rock, looked puzzled when he saw the enemy suddenly stop attacking. How come so many of them had only attacked twice and then stopped?
"What's going on? The other side has stopped fighting?"
"Wait, they've got a torch. Are they going to set the mountain on fire?"
"Holy crap, they've lost something again."
To his utter bewilderment, the other person tossed him a burlap sack.
What's going on? Why did they throw in a burlap sack? Did they send us something?
No, it's smoking!
Boom!!!
The burlap sack exploded the next moment, and a barrage of iron shot shot out, riddling the closest people with bullets.
Hiss!
"What is this thing? It hurts!"
Cha'er was lucky; he was only hit by a few iron pellets, so there were no fatal wounds, but his whole body was burning with pain, as if he had been hit by a wild horse.
Just as he was about to stand up, a burlap sack was suddenly thrown beside him, causing his pupils to shrink in surprise.
"Not good!"
Boom!
Another huge explosion rang out, but this time Cha'er was not so lucky. He was hit at close range by the explosive charge and his entire body was torn to pieces.
Grunt!
"My God! This is divine punishment! Cha'er has been blown to pieces!"
"Has this offended the gods? Have the gods punished us?"
"We must have provoked Lin Yi. It's said he's a god descended to earth, and even the immortals gave him a precious seed. We'll be punished by the gods!"
"Run for your life! If you don't run, even if the gods don't kill you, Zhang Liao will!"
The remaining barbarian soldiers from the Northern Region were completely terrified. They no longer cared about Great General Divine Eagle and fled on foot. After finding their warhorses, they galloped headlong towards the Ziwu Road.
As for cutting off their escape route, they were powerless to do anything about it.
And General, you'd better pray for yourself; we can't hold out here any longer.
Watching their retreating figures, Zhou Cang was about to give chase, but Zhang Liao stopped him, laughing, "Don't worry about them. Going back now would just be Net. Ma Chao should be here soon!"
Everyone's eyes lit up; that made sense, since they had run right into Ma Chao's clutches.
These people are doomed.
After observing the surrounding terrain, Jia Xu said in a deep voice, "Send men to clear out Little Pine Mountain Little Pine Mountain and take over its defense. No enemy is allowed to hide here!"
Furthermore, Wenyuan, you need to make a move. I need you to cross the river right now and completely block Tuoba Yu's path!
However, you don't need to attack for now. Once Tuoba Yu has breached Ping'an City, that will be our opportunity to strike."
Since the Ziwu Road already belongs to our lord, it doesn't matter whether we keep the so-called Little Pine Mountain base or not. The key is to ensure that Tuoba Yu has no way back, so that he has no other choice.
" Ping'an City!"
Zhang Liao instantly understood that they wanted to use Tuoba Yu to take Ping'an City as well, but whether Tuoba Yu would be so obedient was another matter.
The other side wasn't stupid; they naturally knew their lord's plan.
Jia Xu glanced at him and smiled, " Tuoba Yu has no choice. The Net has received intelligence that the Northern Barbarians King has personally ordered him to attack Great Ning. He must alleviate some of the pressure on Mountain and River Pass!"
Tsk tsk!
Upon hearing this, Zhang Liao felt sorry for Tuoba Yu. He had accomplished a great feat by capturing Ningchuan Commandery, but now he was being asked to launch a fierce attack on Great Ning, which was probably a matter of life and death.
Jia Xu chuckled and said in a deep voice, "Why do you think he's working so hard? It's because what Tuoba Wanli offered was incredibly tempting!"
What is that?
" King Divine Eagle!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Liao immediately understood.
No wonder Tuoba Yu was tempted; he was going to be made a king. Anyone would be tempted in that situation.
