In the Great Xia barracks, Wu Shenghou sat in the seat of honor and ordered, "Pass down the order. Continue to attack the city today and increase the intensity. Use the scaling ladders to attack the city in turn. Maintain the strength of three battalions and attack the city at the same time. Don't give them a chance to catch their breath."
"Yes!" Immediately, a general received the order and went to inform the others.
"That Poison Warrior arrived at Liao City, right?" Wu Shenghou asked again.
"According to the description of the mounted scouts, it should be him," a general below said with his fists cupped. At the mention of the Poison Warrior, the generals below all looked uncomfortable.
After all, no one wanted to meet such a person on the battlefield. It would be too depressing to be poisoned to death without even having the chance to attack.
Fortunately, everyone was prepared this time.
"Have you distributed the Wuma Grass?" Wu Shenghou asked calmly.
"According to the Great General's orders, they have all been sent down," the general immediately replied.
Dozens of doctors from Great Xia died before they managed to verify that the remaining toxins in the Nine Pavilions, the Lianyin Mountain Pass, and the Falling Moon Gorge were all of the same type. Furthermore, they managed to find a way to alleviate the toxins. It was a type of wushu grass that was commonly seen in the northwest of Great Xia. It was slightly poisonous, but it was just enough to alleviate the toxins.
As long as one placed the Witch Horse Grass in their mouths, they would be able to alleviate the poison. In such an open area, even if the other party used poison, the Wuma Grass would not cause much damage. As for the side effects of the Wuma Grass, they could be completely ignored.
In the morning, after breakfast, the Great Xia army arranged their battle formation and began to lead their soldiers to attack the city. Battle cries could be heard from three directions.
In the south of the city, there were also many mounted scouts, as well as groups of roaming cavalry.
However, the empress, Li Qianqiu, and the rest didn't feel too pressured. Instead, they were in high spirits as they watched him fiddle with the drone.
When the drone took off, Li Qianqiu and the other generals exclaimed in surprise again.
Half an hour later, the drone landed, and Ren Baqian roughly drew the layout of the barracks in the east of the city according to the pictures. Then, he compared the details one by one.
The fence outside the Great Xia barracks was only three meters tall, but after jumping over the wall, there were caltrops scattered all over the place. These caltrops were specially used to prevent the aboriginals from climbing over the wall and launching night attacks.
Inside the barracks, there were four cannons that Ren Baqian had seen before facing each barrack gate.
The Great Xia army had put in a lot of effort to prevent the aboriginals from launching a night attack.
Fortunately, the aboriginals of the aboriginals had come. of the aboriginals's attack.
Now that they had the map, they immediately knew the weak points of the barracks like the back of their hands. They also found a few places where rations might be stored.
Ren Baqian used two drones to take pictures of the Great Xia barracks at the east gate and the north gate from an altitude of 600 meters. The batteries of the two drones were charged while Ren Baqian flipped through the images of the Great Xia army's battle formation and attack.
Of and Ren Xia Xia Every one of of of. of of of of of of.
Each of the picture was of the Xia of the war of Xia Yang and was very of of...
In the afternoon, Ren Baqian carried the mortar up the city wall. War cries could be heard from the top and bottom of the city wall. The entire city wall was filled with people, and there were more than 20 scaling ladders on the city wall. Great Xia's soldiers climbed up the scaling ladders while carrying flying crossbows. Just as they climbed up the city wall, they were chopped down by a sword and fell down with a blood-curdling screech.
From time to time, a squad leader or a squad leader would climb up the city wall in an attempt to gain a foothold, but they wouldn't last more than a minute before falling off the city wall.
Below the city wall, the archers of Great Xia had already reached a distance of about 100 meters below the city wall and were shooting arrows upward.
"Hurry up and get some scarecrows!" Ren Baqian subconsciously shouted when he saw this scene.
"Sir, what did you say?" Shi Hu asked as he brandished his blade and cut down a few arrows that were flying towards them.
"Get some scarecrows here. The arrowheads will break when these arrows land on the ground." Ren Baqian pointed at the arrows that had landed on the stone building behind him with a look of resentment on his face.
These arrows were much better than the bone arrows used by the aboriginals. Furthermore, the arrows in the city were getting lesser and lesser. These arrows could be used to replenish the supply. However, if the arrowhead were to crash into a rock and fall off, the flight would be unstable, and the arrow would be useless.
After finishing his sentence, Ren Baqian looked outside the city wall and immediately retracted his head. He carried the mortar down the city wall and shouted to Shi Hu, "Quickly get Sir Li to put some scarecrows on the city wall. Then, get some wood and straw to cover the back of the city wall so that these arrows can be used!
After yelling, Ren Baqian found a flat ground to place the mortar. He adjusted the angle of the mortar according to the firing meter and scope, stepped on the bottom of the bracket with one foot, pointed to the guard beside him, and said, "Come and support this!"
After the guard supported the mortar, Ren Baqian put the mortar into the barrel, released it, and quickly covered his ears.
With a slight clang, the mortar fell to the bottom of the barrel, and the firing mechanism at the bottom of the mortar was activated.
"Bang!" A shell flew out of the barrel, leaving a trail of smoke behind it.
The sound was softer than what Ren Baqian had imagined. It was a little like the sound of popcorn exploding on the street when he was young.
Ren Baqian quickly ran to the city wall. Halfway there, he heard a boom outside the city.
He climbed up the city wall and quickly looked for the landing point of the mortar.
It was easy to find as long as he could see a place with a lot of people.
With a radius of 20 meters, it was more than 1,000 square meters.
When Ren Baqian looked out, he saw a lot of people lying on the ground behind the archers. There were at least 300 to 400 casualties, and many of their limbs were nowhere to be found.
The steel balls in the mortar flew in all directions at the moment of the explosion, hitting the people in the area like sieves.
At the same time, countless sparks also fell in the surroundings, igniting the clothes of many soldiers, and the area was in chaos.
A few lucky people who escaped the disaster stood in the pile of corpses, looking at the tragic situation around them and listening to the screams of the injured. Their faces were full of sluggish expressions.
The people around them were also shocked by this unforeseen event. Many of them were at a loss and didn't know what had happened. Looking at the mutilated people, their faces revealed a look of horror.
For these soldiers, killing with real swords and guns and this kind of attack that they didn't know what was going on were two different things.
Soon, under the urging of the rear, they rushed toward the city wall again.
"It's crooked!" Ren Baqian spat on the ground.
However, the power was greater than he had expected.
One mortar could kill three to four people, ten could kill three to four thousand people, and seventy could kill twenty to thirty thousand people. He could eliminate one-third of these Great Xia soldiers in two trips. If he was more diligent, he could make the Great Xia soldiers outside the city cry in a month.
However, this was just a thought. The Great Xia soldiers weren't fools and would probably find a way to reduce the casualties after a period of time. Furthermore, if the other party wasn't so concentrated, they wouldn't be able to achieve such great results.
"Sir Ren, this thing is really too powerful." A few guards at the side couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Ren Baqian couldn't be bothered with them. This thing was already a modern standard equipment, so of course it was powerful in the eyes of these people.
Previously, when he used an electric baton, they all regarded it as a divine weapon.
After confirming the position, Ren Baqian ran down the city wall again, adjusted the angle of the mortar, and fired another mortar shell.
"Boom!" A mortar shell suddenly fell from the rear of the Great Xia archers. Countless steel balls were shot in all directions like bullets, and a large number of sparks scattered in all directions.
The steel balls shot in all directions, turning the archers in front and the shieldbearers in front into sieves.
Ren Baqian climbed up the city wall and carefully examined it for a long time before spitting out, "Damn it, it's crooked again."
He returned to the bottom of the city wall, adjusted the angle, fired the mortar, and fired!
"Boom!"
Ren Baqian climbed up the city wall and saw that there was another man-made no-man's land below.
Everyone in the vicinity had become corpses and were lying on the ground, wailing in pain.
It was still a little crooked, but the distance was still acceptable as it was only ten meters off.
For Ren Baqian, this was already within an acceptable range.
After the battle was over, it was time to pack up.
Ren Baqian carried the mortar back to the city commander's residence. The empress, who was focused on watching a television series, raised her head and asked, "I heard that the effect is pretty good?"
"Indeed, it's pretty good!" Ren Baqian gave her a thumbs up.
"Are you going to use this to launch a night attack?" the empress asked again.
"It's to burn the rations and launch a night attack," Ren Baqian corrected her.
After a while, Li Qianqiu, who had heard the news, rushed over and laughed. "Principal Ren, I heard that you have something good. Let me try it!"
"I will let you have a look at it tonight." Ren Baqian waved his hand.
"Great!" Li Qianqiu was overjoyed. Now that he had the blueprints of the Great Xia barracks and the weapons in Ren Baqian's hands, he could finally teach those Great Xia people a lesson.
…
Not long after Ren Baqian left, Wu Shenghou frowned as he looked at the shields in front of him that were embedded with many three-millimeter marbles.
What was it this time?
He suddenly felt that some variables had appeared in this war.
Where did those barbarians get their hands on these weapons that were so lethal?
The day before yesterday, the catapults in three directions were destroyed, and today, thousands of soldiers were injured or killed with just three loud bangs.
This situation was completely beyond his expectations.
If the other party continued to use such weapons, how could he stop them? Furthermore, there were already two types of weapons that he had never seen before. Did those barbarians have anything else?
