Chapter 105 Secret Weapon
Twenty miles north of Qingzhou City.
This is the location of the Wang Family Manor. At this time, a Wubao in the manor is filled with Wang Family's troops.
This Wubao is all made of rammed earth. The city wall is twelve meters high and five meters thick. Four arrow towers are located in four corners of the city wall.
In the arrow tower, more than ten archers aimed at the Qingzhou army outside the city.
In the city, the Wang family's merchants and troops were busy back and forth, preparing supplies to defend Wubao.
In the Great Yu Kingdom, local wealthy families generally have their own divisions, which are strictly speaking, are servants of the wealthy families.
Because the wealthy clan has a large number of family servants, sometimes in order to resolve disputes between the wealthy clans, the servants were trained daily with simple weapons and armor, which became a private soldier and a rumor.
According to Xiao Ming's order, Lu Fei and Ouyang Mu had surrounded Wubao at this time, and also told the people in Wubao what Xiao Ming said to him.
But what we are facing is a tighter defense on Wubao.
"Captain Lu, it seems that these bandits are going to fight desperately. What should we do now?" Ouyang Mu was a little gloating.
Lu Fei glanced at Ouyang Mu. The Wubao outside Qingzhou City was the largest Wubao among the six prefectures of the Wang family. If this Wubao was taken down, other Wubao would not be worrying.
Now in Wubao is Wang Chengcheng's second brother Wang Chengheng. After learning that his brother and nephew were arrested, he immediately entered Wubao and summoned the Wang family's children to guard Wubao to death.
"This is not necessary for General Ouyang to worry. The reason why Your Highness is like this is just benevolence and unwilling to kill more than just a killing. If you take down this Wubao, it will not be a problem for me." Lu Fei said.
Ouyang Mu looked at Lu Fei coldly, "Since that's the case, I'll wait for Captain Lu to take down Wubao."
Lu Fei ignored him and shouted to Wang Chengheng who was standing on the city gate: "You have to think clearly, don't kill the lives of your whole family for yourself. Your Highness is kind and not to spare you. If you are determined to die, I, Lu Fei, will send you to the underworld."
"Bah! Do you think I will believe the nonsense of King Qi? Surrender is death, and if he does not surrender, he will die. He will not let our Wang family go." Wang Chengheng roared.
"I originally wanted to let your Wang family go, but now I regret it because you don't care about the lives of the family for yourself."
While the two were in a stalemate, Xiao Ming's voice suddenly came.
Lu Fei confronted the Wang family in Wubao for a day and a night. The next day, he handled the crimes of the Wang family and rushed over.
"Xiao Ming, our Wang family treats you very well, why do you kill them all?" Seeing Xiao Ming, Wang Chengheng said angrily.
Wang Shijie and his son were arrested too suddenly. Wang Chengheng has not yet figured out why, but he understood that King Qi was going to deal with the Wang family.
"Why? It's because your Wang family will assassinate me three years ago." Xiao Ming suddenly said.
"How do you know?" Wang Chenghengda was shocked.
"Wang Chengchou has all been recruited, and even the secret communication between your Wang family and the barbarians has been told. No wonder your Wang family has only lost some money and grain in three years. Over the years, your Wang family and the grassland trade have made a lot of money." Xiao Ming sneered.
A cold sweat suddenly appeared on Wang Chengheng's forehead and he was stunned. These two charges were enough to kill the Wang family.
The latter reason Xiao Ming was just talking nonsense, because he came from Wang Chengchou’s last sentence for no reason. Now it seems that he guessed it right. The Wang family and the barbarians have been hooking up and not knowing it.
"You...you are talking nonsense." After coming back to his senses, Wang Chengheng argued.
Xiao Ming ignored him anymore. The Wang family was a big family. This Wubao was gathering many direct branches of the Wang family. It was precisely because of these people that many servants were forced to resist.
"Wang Chengheng, I will say the last time. If you surrender, I will not blame you for your past and guarantee that you will not touch your assets. The same is true for everyone else. But if you are still obsessed with it, don't blame me for being ruthless, and let the Wang family flow into a river at that time." Xiao Ming said loudly.
It is one thing for Lu Fei to convey it, but it is another thing for Xiao Ming to say it personally.
The Wang family members on Wubao were suddenly a little turbulent. They saw the Qingzhou army wrapped in silver armor, and a huge fear spread in their hearts.
The enemy defended by Wubao this time was the Qingzhou army, not the barbarians. The barbarians would retreat if they could not capture them for a long time, and Lu Fei would come to rescue them.
And they are now like rebellious, facing not only the Qingzhou army led by Lu Fei, but also the reinforcements may come.
Even if the Qingzhou army sieges and does not attack, three months later, Wubao will not be able to hold on.
After Xiao Ming finished speaking, he stood with Lu Fei, waiting for Wang Chengheng's answer, but what he was waiting for was a sharp arrow.
Wang Chengheng picked up the bow and arrow and pointed it at Xiao Ming, and the sharp arrow landed at Xiao Ming's feet.
"I really don't cry until I see the coffin." Xiao Ming lost his patience. He wanted to be bloodless, but it seemed that he was still wishful thinking.
Lu Fei said, "Your Highness, attack."
"Don't worry, you go and transport the stone catapults from the camp." Xiao Ming ordered.
Ouyang Mu laughed, "Is Your Highness going to smash the earthen wall with a stone caster? I'm afraid it won't be possible in less than half a year."
"Hehe, General Ouyang will know my methods later. It's better not to be scared at that time." Xiao Ming smiled.
After saying that, he whispered a few words to Zhao Long, and Zhao Long left in response.
The stone catapult in the Qingzhou camp was very old and Lu Fei never used it, but after Xiao Ming said so, he still asked the soldiers to transport it.
After waiting for an hour, a pure wood catapult was transported over. The catapult had four wheels, and behind it was a pole similar to a spoon, and the structure of the spoon was basically a circle of hemp ropes.
As soon as the catapult arrived, a donkey cart stopped in front of everyone. It was covered with glass bottles containing some transparent liquid.
Wang Chengheng took the Wang family's troops and kept guarding the city wall, and his face showed doubt at this moment.
Xiao Ming now knew very well that the Wang family members in Wubao were definitely not a solid piece of cake. The bigger the family, the greater the conflict. The reason why they refused to surrender was because they were afraid of Wang Chengheng and were coerced by him.
But as long as their fear exceeds their fear of Wang Chengheng, conflicts will arise.
What Xiao Ming has to do now is to create fear.
He took a liquid-filled glass bottle from the carriage and placed it in the groove of the trencher.
These glasses are very thin and can be said to be almost broken when touched, and will explode and shatter when thrown into them.
Ouyang Mu looked strange. He had seen glass before. The King of Qi actually used glass to attack the city, and there was no other way around the world.
Without waiting for him to mock him, he saw the rope in the soldier's hand loosen, and the glass bottle flew out instantly, flying straight to where Wang Chengheng was.
But the accurate head of the stone catapult was not good. The glass bottle was much biased and hit the wall two meters to the left of Wang Chengheng.
