    Wei Yan, Niu Jin, and Ma Su led an army of 10,000 people. After arriving at Wancheng, they were not in a hurry to attack the city, but instead set up three camps.

    There were 15,000 troops in Wancheng. An ambush destroyed 3,000 of Dong Chao's troops, and now there are 12,000 left.  Therefore, attacking the city with 10,000 troops and horses will have no effect and will only increase casualties.

    While Wei Yan and the other three were setting up camp, Cao Ren and Man Chong had been standing on the tower, watching quietly.

    Of course, Cao Ren is looking for an opportunity.  Nanjun fell last year, Xinye fell a few days ago, Yu Jin died in battle, and today he was ambushed again, Dong Chao died in battle, and all three thousand soldiers were wiped out. Cao Ren was full of anger towards Liu Cong.

    But he didn't see any chance.

    "Wei Yan, Niu Jin, and Ma Su are three unknown people, and they are so young. Now it seems that they are not simple!" Man Chong shook his head, "Dong Chao was not unjustly defeated!"

    "Liu Cong, I must take off the head from your neck and give it to the lord!" Cao Ren gritted his teeth and made a "gurgle" sound.  While he was angry, he also didn't understand what Liu Cong was capable of. Niu Jin was originally just a Jingzhou soldier. After he surrendered, he only served as a guard in the prefect's mansion. Who would have thought that after following Liu Cong, he would become a general?  And the generals under his command, Ma Su, Wei Yan, Huang Zhong, Huo Jun, etc., had no reputation before!

    "General, the Han army will not attack the city today. Let the soldiers take turns to rest and prepare for the battle tomorrow! The letter has been sent. In half a month, the lord's reinforcements will arrive. By then, we will fight Liu Cong again!  "Man Chong said to Cao Ren.

    "Okay, let's meet Liu Cong tomorrow!"

    Early the next morning, Cao Ren and Man Chong came to the city. Liu Cong's army also arrived, plus Wei Yan's vanguard, totaling 40,000.  The main camp was set up in the middle of the three camps yesterday, connecting all the camps together.  There are gaps between each camp, and several arrow towers are connected.

    In front of the camp, there are horse-repelling stakes, deer antlers, etc., and there is an endless stream of patrolling soldiers coming and going.

    At this time, the gate of the commander's camp opened, and about five thousand soldiers and horses came out one after another, slowly approaching the city.

    "Thunderbolt chariot!" Cao Ren exclaimed, "How can they have a thunderbolt chariot?"

    The thunder chariot is a powerful siege weapon. It was invented by the Mohists during the Warring States Period. It was lost after the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms.

    Later, Liu Ye created it and played a huge role in the Battle of Guandu.  Its craftsmanship is complicated and it is absolutely confidential. How could Liu Cong have it?

    "Quick, all the sword and shield soldiers go to the tower!" Man Chong ordered immediately.

    He didn¡¯t know why Liu Cong had a thunderbolt car, but it was pointless to find the reason now. Taking precautions was the key.  Man Chong is very clear about the power of the Thunderbolt Car.

    Immediately, shields were set up at the crenellations of the city wall, forming an arc-shaped protective wall, and the pikemen temporarily retreated to the bottom of the city.

    After the Pili carts were pushed to the bottom of the city, they were lined up in a row. There were ten soldiers in front of each Pili cart, and behind there was a carriage with a cart full of stones.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? are followed by more than a dozen arrow towers, each of which is divided into three floors. There are more than a dozen crossbowmen on each floor, and there are dozens more below.

    Behind them are the soldiers attacking the city, carrying ladders and holding shields.

    Liu Cong was riding a white horse, very conspicuous. On both sides were Wei Yan and Deng Ai, surrounded by more than a thousand soldiers.

    After everything was ready, Liu Cong, Wei Yan, and Deng Ai, surrounded by soldiers, arrived at the bottom of the city.

    "Cao Ren, how powerful is our Han army?" Liu Cong asked loudly to Cao Ren on the top of the city.

    "Liu Cong, why do you have a thunderbolt car?" Cao Ren did not answer Liu Cong's question, but asked instead.

    "Ha" Liu Cong burst into laughter.

    What kind of car is this?  I've traveled through time, so what can't I do?  Apart from the fact that there are no cannons now, there is nothing this cold weapon can't do!  Liu Cong was very proud, but he couldn't say this to Cao Ren.

    "Cao Ren, Benzhou Mu Nai is a clan member of the Han Dynasty and the direct descendant of Emperor Guangwu. This Thunderbolt Chariot is passed down from our ancestors. Liu Ziyang knows how to do it, how can I not?" Liu Cong said nonsense for a while.

    "That's it!" Cao Ren and Man Chong both believed it to be true.  Besides this explanation, what else can there be?

    "Liu Cong, why did you lead troops into the country for no reason and start a war?"

    "Nanyang is the county of Jingzhou, and I am the shepherd of Jingzhou personally granted by His Majesty. I can come when I want, and leave when I want! But you, why do you want to occupy this place? If you know the truth, go back quickly, or let me break Wan  City, I will kill you all.Stay!  "

    "Liu Cong, my son, you have such a soft tone! I will definitely chop off your head and give it to my lord!"

    "Cao Ren, your fate will be the same as that of Yu Jin. You will die without a burial place!" After Liu Cong finished speaking, he, Wei Yan and Deng Ai returned to the formation, and then loudly ordered, "Niu Jin and Ma Su, attack the city for me!"

    "No!" Niu Jin and Ma Su immediately urged their horses to the side of the Thunderbolt Chariot and shouted loudly, "Attack the city!"

    ????????????? More than a dozen Thunderbolt vehicles have already been prepared. With the command, there was a roar and countless stones flying into the sky.

    Looking at these flying stones, the soldiers of Cao's army on the top of the city were still frightened even though they were protected by shields. When had they ever seen such a battle?  This is really a flying stone from heaven!

    However, this was also the first time that the Han army used the thunderbolt chariot. Not all the stones hit the city top, some fell under the city, and some hit the city wall.  But some of them fell on the city head, smashing the shield into pieces, leaving large gaps one after another.  Before Cao Jun's soldiers had time to re-block the gap, rocks fell again, smashing many soldiers into meat patties in an instant, which was too horrible to watch.

    When the other soldiers heard the roar of flying stones again, their hearts began to tremble.

    Cao Ren and Man Chong had already descended to the top of the city, but their hearts ached when they heard the screaming.  Because every stone falling will take the lives of several soldiers.

    "Stop, the Thunderbolt has stopped!"

    "Quick! Get to the top of the city!" Cao Ren shouted, because he knew that Liu Cong was about to attack the city.

    But after Cao Ren and Man Chong hurriedly rushed to the city, they found that Liu Cong did not let the soldiers attack the city at all, but slowly retreated.

    "Advance and retreat have to be measured. This Liu Cong is difficult to deal with!" Man Chong frowned as he looked at the retreating Han army.

    "Liu Cong, I must let you die under Wancheng!" Cao Ren said viciously and asked Man Chong to deal with the affairs at the top of the city. He went down the tower and came to the military camp, asking the commander to search for the magic arrow in the army.  hand.

    Then, he returned to the prefect¡¯s mansion, found thirty arrows, and quenched poison on the arrows.

    After the archers arrived, Cao Ren went through another selection process and left thirty people.

    Cao Ren handed thirty arrows to these thirty people, and whispered some instructions to let them join his own soldiers.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
