Chapter 154: Artillery arrived

"wait."
Looking at Wubao Xiao Ming in front of him, he gave an order.
At this moment, a figure who appeared to be the leader appeared on the wall of Wubao, and they were looking at the Qingzhou Army who was reinforcements below.
At this time, Chen Fu pointed to the man on the city wall and said, "His Royal Highness, this man is the leader of this group of gangsters, Liu Chuang. His father participated in the lotus pond's conspiracy against His Highness. After the defeat, the general led the Cangzhou Army to take it by surprise. He killed Liu Jiawubao and killed most of Liu Jia's tribe, but he still let Liu Chuang run away."
The dazzling sunlight caused Xiao Ming to squint his eyes. After the barbarians in the lotus pond were wiped out, the news was blocked. At the same time, Xiao Ming ordered the arrest of the rich family who participated in the rebellion.
At that time, many tycoons were wiped out by the army before they could react. If the Liu family had been on guard at that time, Wubao would not have been taken down by the Cangzhou army so easily.
According to Lu Fei, at that time Chen Fu also used the method of combining inside and outside, pretending to send people to Wubao to buy food, and suddenly attacked Wubao before taking the Wubao.
Unexpectedly, a month later, Wubao was taken back by the same method in the Liu family.
"The old way is to persuade them to delay time first, so that they are negligent."
This group of chaotic bandits is different from the trilogy of the Sun family or the Wang family. It is fashionable and can be persuaded to surrender, and this group of bandits are still resisting after annihilating the barbarians for so long, indicating that they have already held the idea of ​​fighting him to the end.
Moreover, these bandits are probably the sons of the rich family. Unlike the trilogy of the Wang family and the Sun family, there are many servants in them. These servants are dissatisfied with the rich family themselves. They are only taken under the coercion of the rich family and are easy to persuade.
The children of these tyrants are different, and persuading them to surrender will not have any effect on them.
Chen Fu replied, before he went out to the battlefield, he began to shout to the chaotic bandits on the tower, which meant nothing more than surrendering and not killing.
Just before he finished speaking, a sharp arrow suddenly shot down from the city gate and stuck at his feet diagonally.
Niu Ben looked at the tower and said, "There is a master in this gang of bandits who can shoot arrows so far."
Estimated the distance between the tower and Chen Fu, it was at least 230 meters, and even if the barbarian's bow and arrow range was only about 180 meters, it can be seen that there is an archer with amazing arms.
Then, Niu Ben suddenly said to Lu Fei: "Go get my bow and arrow."
Luo Xin smiled upon hearing the words: "This band of bandits dared to make an axe in front of the old general. Who doesn't know that the old general's bow and arrows are unique to the Forbidden Army."
"I haven't practiced in five years, and I don't know what it is now. Just don't lose face in front of the temple." Niu Ben said, but everyone else could hear the confidence in his mouth.
Xiao Ming smiled and said, "The old general's archery is famous all over the world, please!"
Niu Ben nodded, and then took the bow and arrow from Lu Fei. Unlike other Qingzhou Army archers, the bow and arrow in Niu Ben's hand was significantly stronger, and he knew that it would take a lot of strength to pull it.
At this time, I saw Niu Ben not dismounting, but directly bent his bow and set an arrow on the horse. With a "swish", the bow and arrow flew out as quickly as lightning.
Before everyone could react, a scream suddenly sounded from the city gate, and the archer who had just provoked fell from the city gate, with an arrow sticking straight into his chest.
"Good!" Lu Fei and Luo Xin shouted at the same time.
Chen Fu was stunned. He still didn't know who this great man was. After all, this great man couldn't run for a few days, and he couldn't get it in Cangzhou.
The soldiers of the Qingzhou Army were also surprised at this time. When this veteran first arrived, many soldiers were not convinced. After all, in their eyes, Lu Fei was the commander of the Qingzhou Army. ’
Now that he has been taken by such a person who has never seen him before, many people feel uneasy.
But at this time, they realized that His Royal Highness Qi's employment was not random.
The corner of Xiao Ming's mouth rose slightly. After two consecutive bad news, his mood finally improved. At least the Niu Ben veteran is well-known, and it is equivalent to having a strong general to deal with the barbarian cavalry.
The bandits at the city gate were obviously frightened by Niu Ben's trick, and the few people who showed up immediately hid behind the battlements.
Generally speaking, the range of the bow and arrow is basically about 180 meters, and the effective range is basically about 120 meters. Within this effective range, the bow and arrow can effectively kill the enemy, and this is still a projectile. The power lies in the projectile.
Niu Ben can use Throwing to kill the enemy within this distance. This is the real horror. Without decades of practice, it is impossible to do it.
However, it can also be seen that Niu Ben's arm strength is different from ordinary people.
"How about? Let me say that bows and arrows are much more powerful than crossbows." Luo Xin said at this time: "His Royal Highness, you Qingzhou Army is equipped with a large number of crossbows instead of bows and arrows. I don't agree with this."
At this time, Niu Ben handed the bow and arrow to Lu Fei and snorted: "Your father doesn't know how to teach you. It is right for your Royal Highness to equip a large number of crossbow arrows in the army. This archer has at least three to five years. Training can be used on the battlefield, and this single crossbow only needs a little training. When defending the city, the crossbow can be much more useful than the bow and arrow. In a short distance, the crossbow can be more powerful than the bow and arrow, and it can shoot accurately."
Luo Xin was scolded, and Lu Fei was cheating on the side, looking gloating.
In fact, he didn't understand Xiao Ming's approach at first, but he gradually remembered it later. Now that the Barbarian race is about to go south, they have no time to train archers.
"The old general is right, this king is also out of this consideration, and in two days you will see something more powerful than bows, arrows, crossbows, and catapults." Xiao Ming bought a pass.
Niu Ben was surprised when he heard this, "Could this be the reason why His Royal Highness I was busy in the Department of Equipment these days?"
"Exactly, at that time, it was better for the old general to dismount more safely." Xiao Ming joked.
The gangsters in Wubao are already like turtles in the urn, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, they obviously did not think that even the Qingzhou army would be sent out in large numbers for a Wubao, let alone because they inadvertently robbed the cement and caused a killing.
Three days later, under the of cavalry, a carriage slowly entered the temporary barracks stationed outside Wubao.
In the past three days, the Qingzhou Army and the chaotic bandits were basically persuading to surrender, and they were scolded by the chaotic bandits.
The ladder in the barracks was also ready, but he didn't want to damage the soldiers to internal consumption.
And this Wubao had to be taken, because not only there was cement in it, but Wubao also occupies the traffic arteries, which poses a great threat to Cangzhou's logistics.
"His Royal Highness, the artillery has arrived." Chen Qi and the twelve craftsmen from the Equipment Department arrived together.
Looking at the artillery wrapped in layers on the carriage, Xiao Ming smiled and said to Niu Ben: "Old General, this is the king's secret weapon."
