Chapter 416 Teaching Han Xin to be a man

"Is Xiang Kang the traitor taking the wrong medicine? Why do you always fight my general's army without saying a word? Where did I offend him?"

"The king is here!"

Seeing the Han army marching in front of the barracks, obviously trying to fight his camp first. When Han Xin stood at the high place in the camp, he was so angry that he suddenly heard the sound of Liu Lao San coming from behind. Han Xin quickly turned around and saw that it was Liu Lao San leading a team of guards to come over quickly. Han Xin hurriedly bowed and asked, "King, the battle is imminent, this is the front line of war. Why are you here in person?"

"I'm not relieved, come and see it myself." Liu Laosan replied casually, and said, "It's not that I don't worry about you, but that little traitor Xiang Kang must see with my own eyes what tricks he wants to play. Only in my heart can I have a clear idea."

While speaking, the Han army had already taken action. With the help of the bull and horse pulling and many Han army soldiers, Han Xin was extremely alert and made Liu Laosan suspicious of the mysterious Han army's weapons, the counterweight catapult that invented more than 1,500 years in advance, finally officially appeared in front of the Nanyang Army's local buns and the Western Chu Army's South Line Corps, which also had the same local buns!

Because of sufficient manpower and because of the cut of sufficient qualified wood in Xiangcheng area, the number of counterweight catapults used by the Han army on the Ye County battlefield this time exceeded the number of counterweight catapults used in Puyang and Julu battlefields, reaching an astonishing fifty giants. The huge body and thick arms are daunting. Even after being more than 300 meters away, fifty counterweight catapults lined up in front of the Nanyang military camp, the soldiers of the Nanyang army immediately felt the murderous aura, and countless soldiers of the Nanyang army couldn't help but whisper and whisper...

"What is that? What is it for?"

"It seems to be a catapult, the kind of catapult we used when we siege the city before? But how could it be so big? How many people would it take to pull it?"

"It can't be a trencher, right? How could the stones smashed by the trencher hit our camp?"

Not only the soldiers of the Nanyang Army, but after using their hands to cover the sunlight and looking around for a long time, Liu Laosan couldn't help but ask questions and said to Han Xin: "These are the new thief-style thief-style thief-spliers who were told by the Han thief-spliers? It looks like it looks like, but for such a large thief, how many soldiers do the thief need to use to pull it? Also, even if the thief can spare no manpower, it is impossible to smash the stone so far, right?"

"I don't know," Han Xin shook his head and said with a gloomy face: "I only hope Zhou Bo, Lu Jia and the others are right now. The captive of the Han thief is exaggerating. The thief's catapult is not as powerful as he boasts."

At this time, three thousand Han soldiers had already lined up to protect the counterweight catapult fleet. At the same time, many Han soldiers were busy preparing around the catapult. However, because the distance was too far and there was no telescope, Liu Laosan and Han Xin could not see clearly what the Han soldiers were preparing. They only saw that there were smoke rising from the area from afar. It was obvious that the Han soldiers were preparing the legendary incendiary bombs.

Not only that, even to this point, Xiang Kang still had difficulty changing his nature. He sent an envoy to mount a white flag and came to the outside of the Nanyang military camp. He shouted loudly at the Nanyang army soldiers guarding the camp gate, "Please report to your general Han Xin, and say that he promised our King of Han and could take the opportunity to do it. Our King of Han will definitely fulfill his promise and give him a title and a title. We will never treat those who follow your general to surrender to us!"

Before the Han army envoy finished calling out the words of discrimination and accusation, the furious soldiers of the Nanyang army had already shot arrows and shot the Han army envoys into fleeing. After the situation was reported to Liu Laosan and Han Xin, Liu Laosan, who was familiar with Xiang Kang's bad nature, immediately sneered and cursed: "The little traitor raised by the maid, the dog cannot change his shit. I want to let me take your evil deeds and dream! The hen crows and the rooster lays eggs. I believe it, saying that our General Han and you secretly collude, and Na Weng is the first to disbelief!"

Han Xin didn't say anything, understanding that Liu Laosan was actually scolding him, but he was secretly surprised, "Isn't this traitor Xiang Kang right? Why didn't he let me go if he said anything?"

After some preparation, the Han soldiers who were preparing for the catapult fleet suddenly scattered and retreated. Liu Laosan and Han Xin immediately understood that the highlight was finally about to begin. They quickly became twelve points and stared at the every move of the catapult fleet with wide eyes. However, what made Liu Laosan and Han Xin strange was that the huge towing team they imagined did not appear. Most of the Han soldiers retreated directly to the formation to rest. Only a small number of Han soldiers were still busy next to the catapult. Liu Laosan and Han Xin, who had used catapults on the battlefield, were inevitably even more suspicious and said to each other: "What's going on? Without the soldiers towing ropes, how can the catapults throw stones?"

It was because they were too far apart and there was no telescope. Liu Laosan, Han Xin and others just saw the Han army's flag waving, and fifty huge Han army catapults almost threw their arms up together, throwing black things into the sky. Then the big black things really flew out of the range that ordinary catapults could never reach, and roared into the interior of the Nanyang military camp with smoke...

At this moment, Liu Laosan and Han Xin's hearts almost stopped beating together, and they also widened their eyes together, and kept following the black weird things, nervous that those weird things fell from the sky...

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The sound of those strange things falling to the ground was not very loud. However, what Liu Laosan, Han Xin and all the soldiers of the Nanyang Army were unbelievable was that after the strange things landed on the ground, huge flames immediately burst out, instantly igniting the surrounding camp tents, supplies and various combustible materials, and some soldiers in Nanyang who could not avoid were affected by the flames. They were immediately lit up their hair, beards and clothes, and immediately screamed like pigs, falling to the ground and rolling on the ground.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the Nanyang Army were of course in a big uproar, and screams came one after another. Liu Laosan and Han Xin looked ashen, and immediately realized that the Han army captive had at least two points without lies - that was the Han army's new trespass, which could indeed smash strange fire bombs that could be set off! They could also smash them farther and even further away!

On the other hand, when seeing this situation in the middle and high ground of the Western Chu Army Camp far to the west, Li Ji had to be very grateful, and also said openly: "Thank God, fortunately, the Han thieves attacked the Nanyang Army camp first. If the Han thieves came to attack our camp first, we would definitely be miserable!"

Fortunately, after all, it was the soldiers brought by Liu Laosan and Han Xin. Even though they were frightened by the terrifying power of the Han army's incendiary bombs and their morale was frustrated. However, after the initial panic, the soldiers of the Nanyang army immediately started to put out the fire, and did not completely panic. However, what caught the soldiers of the Nanyang army off guard was that not long after they had just started to put out the fire, the second round of the Han army's incendiary bombs had already hit again, and most of the targets were pointed at the Nanyang army's central army camp!

The sound of the stone pottery urn falling to the ground was still not very loud. However, because the pottery urn was filled with tung oil, after it fell to the ground and exploded, the Han army's original incendiary bombs could burst out large pieces of flames. In addition to igniting all combusts around, it could also burn the Nanyang soldiers who could not avoid burns, burned all the hair and beards of these unlucky Nanyang soldiers, and howled ghosts and wolves. Several lucky Nanyang soldiers were hit directly by the incendiary bombs, and their bodies were immediately ignited, burned to the point of burning, and screamed endlessly. The most critical Nanyang army camp was also in chaos.

"The thief's catapult can control the direction, and if you want to smash it, you can smash it!"

Han Xin finally screamed out loud, and immediately understood that the Han army wanted to use incendiary bombs to severely damage their Central Military Camp, completely attack and shake their morale - there was nothing we could do about it. Who said that Han Xin was greedy for the convenience of command and built the Central Military Camp at a high place in the middle of the camp. With such an obvious target in front of him, the Han army naturally adjusted the previous attack order, gave priority to taking care of Han Xin's Central Military Camp, and gave the Nanyang Army a warning first.

On the other hand, Liu Laosan's face gradually began to turn blue, and he finally began to regret that he did not obey Han Xin's unpleasant advice, did not retreat quickly to avoid the front of the Han army, and chose to stay in Ye County to fight the Han army to decisively.

Fortunately, the Han army only dropped three rounds of expensive incendiary bombs, but did not continue to waste ammunition and began to install net bag modified stone bombs. But even so, after the three rounds of incendiary bombs, the originally orderly Nanyang military camp was completely in chaos, with fire and smoke everywhere, and Nanyang soldiers running to put out the fire everywhere. The morale of the army was frustrated and he was no longer as confident as before.

Liu Laosan and Han Xin also had hope, that is, they still believe that the confessions of the Han army captains were exaggerating. The Han army's catapults could not throw heavy stone bullets weighing more than 100 kilograms, and it was even more impossible to directly cause direct damage to the solid camp they had built with their manpower and material resources. If this is the case, there would definitely be a battle!

The Han army's stone catapult fleet quickly fulfilled Liu Laosan and Han Xin's desire to know the truth. After all the throws were installed with net bags and solid stone bombs, while the flag was waving, huge stone bombs weighing about 50,150 kilograms flew up in the air and roared and slammed at the Nanyang Army's camp. Because the Han army's stone catapults had accumulated a lot of experience in actual combat, even in the first round of stone catapults, nearly half of them hit the Nanyang Army's camp wall.

"Boom! Boom!"

The sound of the huge rock falling to the ground was much louder than that of the incendiary bomb. In the incredible eyes of Liu Laosan, Han Xin and others, it smashed huge gaps and long cracks into the walls that the soldiers of the Nanyang Army worked hard to build. After falling into the ground several feet deep, it still could still continue to hurt people, just like a giant fist of ghosts and gods, smashing huge wounds on the seemingly solid Nanyang Army camp.

That's not all. There were stone bullets rolling into the crowd of soldiers in Nanyang. They immediately splashed the flesh and blood waves and countless noises. There were stone bullets hitting the arrow tower built by the soldiers of Nanyang. The originally solid arrow tower broke like paper. The Nanyang Army archers who were squatting on the arrow tower to shoot arrows to defend the enemy screamed and fell into dust. Their tendons and bones broke, and their heads were broken. There was no need to say that the military tent directly hit by the Han army stone bullet was hit. They didn't even have time to make a sound, and they fell into the ground and disappeared.

Faced with such a terrifying scene, even the soldiers of the Song army who had experienced advanced weapons such as gunpowder beds, crossbows and people arsenals more than 1,500 years later were still frightened, not to mention the soldiers of the Nanyang army who were still on the tail of the Bronze Age. They had just thrown stone bombs. The soldiers of the Nanyang army up and down the camp were already scattered and screamed. They could not even imagine what kind of terrible scene they would face next, and their morale and fighting spirit fell to the bottom.

"It's worthy of being Han Xin." Liu Laosan lowered his head weakly and said in his heart: "I should listen to his advice and retreat at any cost. Ye County cannot be able to defend it."

Next, the soldiers of the Nanyang Army guarding the camp wall could only be described as being in hell. Huge stone bullets kept flying over. As long as they could not avoid it, even if they were slightly hung up by the stone bullet, they would immediately be seriously injured or even killed. Even if the soldiers of the Nanyang Army luckily avoided it, the solid wall under their feet would be directly smashed into a huge gap of several feet wide and deep, making it difficult to gain a foothold, let alone shoot arrows in that position.

In fact, the most unlucky one was the soldiers of the Nanyang Army on the arrow tower. In order to increase the firepower of bows and arrows, Han Xin asked the soldiers of the Nanyang Army to build a large number of arrow towers behind the wall at any cost, and formed dense firepower with the walls and the sheep and horse walls. However, at this time, the arrow towers full of Nanyang Army soldiers completely became living targets for the Han army's stone catapults, and soon became the key targets of the Han army's stone catapults due to tactical needs. As long as they were hit by a huge rock, a tall arrow tower could be smashed into wood chips. The soldiers on the Nanyang Army screamed and fell into the camp one after another. They either fell to death or injured. They failed to kill an enemy with one arrow, but caused considerable casualties and injuries to the Nanyang Army themselves.

The Han army's stone-treating tactics were not only that. In addition to focusing on the arrow tower near the Nanyang military camp gate, the Han army's stone-treating aircraft also tried its best to smash the huge rocks at the walls on both sides of the Nanyang military camp gate, gradually smashing the walls in this area with holes and gaps everywhere. They also harvested the precious lives of many Nanyang soldiers who defended the camp gate. Without casualties, one soldier and one soldier, they caused many casualties to the Nanyang Army.

Seeing this situation, at the beginning, many soldiers of Nanyang were extremely grateful that the Han army's huge rocks never hit their camp gate. However, military geniuses were military geniuses after all. After a while, Han Xin suddenly woke up and roared: "No! The Han thieves wanted to weaken our camp guards first, and then concentrate their efforts to smash our camp gate so that the Han thieves soldiers could directly kill into our camp!"

There was no way to find out this situation. Although Han Xin subconsciously planned to let the door-stop knives come forward to make it easier to block the door when the camp gate fell, before the order was heard, Han Xin suddenly woke up. Even the rammed earth wall could not block the huge stones of the Han army. The wooden door-stop knives in front of the huge stones of the Han army were no different from toys? So Han Xin had no choice but to think about how to deal with the next situation.
