Chapter 402 Mang Xiang, think of a way

The King of Wei was surprised: "Heavy artillery?"

Although the King of Wei was not aware of military affairs, how could he not hear about heavy artillery, a weapon that broke through Hangu Pass?

The King of Wei's heart was pounding and he couldn't help but ask: "How powerful is that heavy artillery?"

Mangmao's face was pale and said to King Wei: "I'm sorry, this Daliang City Wall... is probably irresistible."

As soon as this statement came out, the King of Wei suddenly fell into the spot like five thunder and stayed there.

Looking at the military talents of Mangmao on the mainland, it is definitely not good, but it is really impossible to find a stronger person than Mangmao in Wei.

So Mangmao's words almost directly judged the end of Daliang City being captured.

After a while, the King of Wei said with some difficulty: "Is there no way to do it?"

As he spoke, there were another loud noise, and smoke rose up on the city wall.

Mangmao gritted his teeth and said, "King, if you send an elite army out of the city to destroy the heavy artillery of the Zhao army, you may be able to continue to persevere if you succeed."

The King of Wei suddenly came alive like a drowning man who grabbed the life-saving straw: "Really?"

Wei Zhu, who was standing beside him, suddenly said, "But, this heavy artillery is so powerful that the people of Zhao cannot be without protection, right?"

Mangmao looked at Wei and smiled bitterly: "The prince is indeed very optimistic... This is the problem."

King Wei: "…"

The flame of hope in King Wei's heart just rose and was directly extinguished by the storm of his head and face.

King Wei took a deep breath and tried his best to make his tone appear calmer: "So, what should I do now?"

Mangmao was speechless.

The King of Wei looked at Mangmao coldly and said in a deep voice: "Mangxiang, you must think of a solution."

When saying this, an unconcealed murderous intent flashed in King Wei's eyes.

A few drops of cold sweat emerged from Mangmao's cheeks, and he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Since the king has spoken, I will try it out."

Zhao He began to yawn in the Zhao army's main formation outside the city.

Although it was already noon, the spring breeze was blowing, and there was a large umbrella overhead covering the sun. I heard too much shouting from thousands of troops. Although the scene of heavy artillery bombardment on the city was spectacular, the Katyusha that Zhao He saw on the big screen in his previous life was much more powerful than this...

Life as a monarch in person is so simple and boring.

Before closing your eyes and resting, Zhao He did not forget to instruct Le Cheng beside him: "Please remind those guys who are ejaculating in front of you, be careful not to explode after a while."

The biggest problem with the production of heavy artillery is nothing more than its durability.

Because of the explosion of the chamber and various other problems that even Zhao He could not have expected, Zhao State had lost more than ten heavy artillery pieces, and there was even an abyss that had just finished casting and completed the first test shot.

Of course, such losses are not without any progress. The most obvious improvement lies in the range. The current heavy artillery can already fire outside the range of archers.

Now Zhao He has only five treasures in his hand. Apart from Daliang City, he probably has to use them in other places, so he can't break them.

Le Cheng knew what he wanted and was about to call the order forward when Zhao He suddenly let out a sound and sat up: "What are these Wei people... thinking?"

Le Cheng subconsciously looked up and found that the gate of Daliang City was opened.

Not only was it opened, but an army also poured out.

The army was dominated by dozens of combat chariots, supplemented by a sufficient number of infantry, and rushed directly towards the artillery positions on the other side of Lianggou.

Zhao He looked at this scene quietly and suddenly said, "These guys don't think about crossing the floating bridge with chariots, are they?"

Le Cheng thought for a while and said, "It shouldn't be."

While speaking, the situation on the battlefield changed again.

The troops stopped on the south bank of Lianggou, and the cars on the left and right of the chariots took out crossbows and shot at the five heavy artillery.

Zhao He suddenly laughed: "It turns out that he was here to destroy my heavy artillery... No, do they think they can succeed with a crossbow?"

Le Cheng was eager to try and said, "Master, let me go and give them some color!"

Zhao He pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Okay, go there. Since the King of Wei is willing to deliver vegetables, then I can't ignore it, right?"

Le Cheng was overjoyed and immediately rode out.

Above the city wall, Mangmao and Prince Wei looked at this scene quietly.

If you look carefully, you will find that Mangmao's legs are trembling slightly.

Although the prince Wei was young, he was about to become an adult. He realized something was wrong at first sight and said in a deep voice: "Mangxiang, the heavy artillery of Zhao State looks so heavy, and it is made of fine iron. How can it be damaged with arrows?"

Mangmao sighed and said, "Prince, the chariot cannot cross the river."

Wei said coldly: "Then why don't you send out an infantryman!"

Mangmao's face was even more helpless, and he said, "If it were infantry, he would probably have all died at this moment."

Wei was speechless.

Suddenly, a drumbeat sounded, and a Zhao army rushed to the floating bridge and rushed towards the Wei soldiers who had just left the city on the south bank.

Wei was frightened and said repeatedly: "Hurry, order them to retreat!"

Mangmao was a little hesitant because Mangmao saw this attacking force shooting down many Zhao army soldiers standing next to the heavy artillery, which made Mangmao feel a little fantasy in his heart. If only some of the Zhao army could control the heavy artillery and then be shot to death, wouldn't everything be fine? At least it could delay the time of the Zhao army's siege.

If this is true, Mangmao would not care that all the soldiers who left the city were killed.

But at the moment, the prince urged him repeatedly, Mangmao could not bear the reputation of letting his subordinates die for his hope, so he said, "Come on, pass the order immediately and withdraw it!"

After saying that, Mangmao smiled and said to Wei: "Prince, the heavy artillery of Zhao people may be fired at any time. It is no longer safe here. It is better to remove the city wall quickly."

After personally experiencing the power of heavy artillery, if it weren't for the fact that the King of Wei personally ordered the prince to supervise the battle, Mangmao would not stay at the city for a second.

Wei Yu looked at Mangmao with some disdain, snorted heavily, and said, "Mangxiang, if you are afraid, go down first. This prince is here to welcome the soldiers of the Great Wei who have returned from outside the court!"

But the turn of the chariot was not that easy. Even though the ability to pass through the pontoon bridge was quite urgent, the Zhao army, led by Le Cheng, crossed Lianggou immediately and fought with the Wei army, the chariot army.

Wei looked at the scene nervously, unable to help but clenched his fists and roared: "Come on, kill these Zhao people!"

Mangmao sighed and said nothing.

With Mangmao's ability and insight to lead troops, in fact, when he sent troops out of the city, he did not have the hope of this army returning, especially after discovering that the two sides had rushed together.

After a moment, the high fighting spirit on Wei's face slowly faded.

In front of this young prince, thousands of Wei soldiers were quickly divided, falling from the chariots one by one, and then massacred by the Zhao people.

Wei was almost roaring: "Mangxiang, do something!"

Mangmao sighed: "Prince, they have completed their mission."

Of course, it was impossible for the Wei army to leave the city and fight against the Zhao army in the field.

Wei punched the battlements with a ferocious face.

Suddenly, Mangmao screamed and stepped forward and threw Wei down.
