"The soldiers of Wei State are well-deserved..."

Suddenly, such words came out of Han Wangran's mouth.

"..."

Beiyan Shou Leyi glanced at Han Wangran when he heard this.

Of course he understood why Han Wangran expressed this emotion from the bottom of his heart, because so far, the Wei army had been attacking for an entire hour, and what was incredible was that no matter how long the fighting lasted, no matter how many people appeared on the Wei army side,

Despite the high casualties, the overall morale of the Wei army was still high - or rather, their fighting spirit was still high.

This caused the front line on the battlefield to quietly advance towards the Korean army. Although the amplitude was very small, and it might only be possible to advance three or four feet in a full stick of incense, it was undeniable that the Korean army was gradually falling into a disadvantage.

Originally, Le Yi did not intend to comment on Han Wangran's emotion, but after thinking about it, he suddenly said: "The Wei army we are encountering now may be the most powerful Wei pawn in history."

Sure enough, Han Wangran became a little curious after hearing these words, and couldn't help but ask: "Why do you think so? Is it because of Wei Gongzi Run?"

Le Yi shook his head, then nodded again, and explained: "Unlike the previous rulers of the Wei State, Wei Gongzi Run treated his soldiers very well. It cannot be said that he emphasized military force over civilized literature, but at least he emphasized both civilized and military forces. Have a listen.

People say that every soldier in the Wei State has a house and land, and even the local county magistrate will give priority to various benefits for the soldier and his family. Even if the soldier unfortunately dies in battle, his family will not lose their support. These benefits

Such good treatment makes the soldiers of the Wei army have no worries on the battlefield and only think about gaining military glory... This is why in recent years, fewer and fewer people in the Wei army have fled."

Han Wangran nodded subconsciously, and then suddenly realized that this might be Le Yi taking the opportunity to give advice.

Thinking of this, Han Wangran nodded heavily and said, "I will remember it."

Hearing what Han Wangran said, Le Yi, who had achieved his purpose of admonishing, stopped saying anything and continued to focus on the battlefield, focusing on mobilizing troops and generals.

It was not until the fierce battle reached Shen Shi in the afternoon that the Wei army gradually withdrew from the front line.

Seeing this, Han Wangran took a long breath and asked Le Yi: "Is today's war over?"

To be fair, in fact, whether he won or lost this battle, Han Wangran had corresponding countermeasures in mind. Therefore, he was not panicked or nervous. It was just the fierceness and cruelty on the battlefield today that made him, a young king who had never seen a battlefield,

I finally experienced firsthand the danger and cruelty of military warfare, and I couldn't help but be frightened by the chilling atmosphere.

Therefore, when the Wei army retreated from the battlefield, he felt a sense of relief.

After listening to Han Wangran's words, Le Yi nodded, then shook his head and said: "It can only be said that the day's war has ended here, but in fact, the real threat from the Wei army has just begun..."

Han Wangran was stunned when he heard this, but he immediately came to his senses: The Shang Shui Army under the command of Wei Gongzi Run is an army that is very good at surprise attacks, night attacks, sneak attacks, and running attacks. It is unimaginable that this Wei army will allow their Han army to be safe.

Spend a night.

Suddenly, Han Wangran seemed to have thought of something. He pointed at the battlefield and said with a strange expression: "The two Wei armies... have not retreated."

"What do you think the threat I just mentioned meant?"

Le Yi glanced at Han Wangran calmly. He certainly knew who the two Wei armies the latter was referring to. They were nothing more than the two strongholds built by Wei generals Chen Xie and Xu Jiong on the battlefield.

These two Wei army strongholds are only about a mile or two away from the same stronghold set up by Wei General Ji Kuo. They are so close to each other to welcome the nightfall. This clearly shows that the Wei army is preparing for a night attack - at least there are

Night raid thoughts.

It has to be said that even Beiyan Shou Leyi can't help but feel a little nervous at this moment.

From ancient times to the present, when the two armies are fighting each other, they will leave at least ten miles of open space as a buffer when they withdraw their troops. It is almost never seen like today's Wei army, which only reserves one or two miles of land as a buffer zone.

At this distance, if either side attacks the other side, the other side will not be able to react.

only……

Le Yi looked around the battlefield and saw the Wei army moving a row of tortoise-shell chariots between the two strongholds to form a line of defense. In the two Wei army strongholds nearby, there were chariots carrying repeated crossbows.

Aiming the repeating crossbows in the direction of the Korean army.

"Night attack...?"

Le Yi secretly smiled bitterly and shook his head. Then he cast his gaze in the direction of the Wei army's main formation and secretly said in his heart: Are you trying to dampen the morale of our army by putting pressure on it? What a conceited Young Master Wei.

Thinking of this, Le Yi also ordered: "Send the order and move the antlers, horses and other things to this place."

Obviously, Le Yi planned to confront Wei Jun to the end.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. After all, the pressure of the Wei army today is too strong. Whether during or after the war, if the Han army shows a little fear, Le Yi suspects that they will be swallowed up by the fighting spirit of the Wei army.

Nothing left.

After hearing Le Yi's order, the Korean soldiers moved racks of antlers, horses and other defensive equipment to the front line, and tied them tightly with ropes, temporarily building a line of defense.

After that, the soldiers of Wei and Han entered the battlefield in a tacit understanding and collected the corpses of their own soldiers.

I saw the soldiers from both sides who were responsible for collecting the corpses, slowly entering the battlefield with empty hands, and within the range of the crossbowmen and long-range equipment in the strongholds of both sides, they calmly collected the corpses of their own soldiers. No one dared to do so.

This is the time to cause trouble - after all, the crossbowmen in the two strongholds are on standby at any time.

And just as the soldiers on both sides were collecting the corpses, a slow and loud banging sound was faintly heard from the south.

The Korean soldiers didn't know why, so they raised their heads and looked in the direction from which the sound came, and were shocked to see several giants in the distance, slowly arriving at the Wei army's position.

"Then...what the hell is that?!"

"Trebuchet?"

"How is that possible?!"

These Korean soldiers suddenly panicked and were full of fear and uneasiness.

It's no wonder, after all, the giant riprap trucks that Zhao Hongrun asked the Metallurgical and Manufacturing Bureau to build are really huge, with a height of more than ten feet and a chassis of five or six feet. They are definitely the largest in the history of the entire Central Plains.

Trebuchet.

The stone bullets thrown by this kind of trebuchet can cause the wall of a city like Handan to collapse on the spot with just one bullet.

"Quick! Go and report to General Le Yi!"

A hundred-man general shouted with his face turning pale.

About an hour after burning incense, Han Wangran and Le Yi, who learned the news, and other generals of the Korean army came to the front of the position to wait and see.

Just as the soldiers said, there were four more behemoths in the Wei army's position at this moment. Even from a long distance away, Han Wangran, Le Yi and others could feel the terror of those giant war weapons.

"Wei State actually created such a terrifying weapon..."

Han general Zhao Cong swallowed his saliva and murmured uneasily: "Is there any city wall in the world that can block a bullet from this monster? If the Wei army uses this monster to attack Handan... they don't dare to

Imagine.”

After hearing this, everyone glanced at Zhao Cong intentionally or unintentionally, but they could not deny that what Zhao Cong said was not wrong at all: even the city wall of Handan could not withstand a bullet from such a giant trebuchet.

If the stone bullet hits the city wall, then the city wall must collapse immediately.

While everyone was busy with their own thoughts, Han Wangran looked at the four giant trebuchets in the distance, and secretly thought in his heart: Stop my thoughts...could this be what he was referring to?

At this time, Le Yi was thinking about something else.

He suddenly thought that if the Wei army had a whim and used those four giant trebuchets to throw a few stone bombs at their Korean army's position, the outcome would be...

As he thought about it, Le Yi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Send someone to monitor every move of these four stone dumpers day and night!" he immediately ordered.

Contrary to the panic on the Korean side, the Wei army was overjoyed at the arrival of the four giant riprap trucks. After all, the four giant riprap trucks were extremely powerful at first glance.

In fact, many Wei soldiers were extremely excited about the power of these giant trebuchets and wished they could put them into use immediately so that they could experience the terrifying power of these giants.

It has to be said that the curiosity about new things made the Wei soldiers temporarily forget about Tongze who died in the battlefield today, which dispersed a bit of the sadness in the Wei army's position, but it also made the three thousand soldiers "Gu Tao" extremely annoyed.

.

There was no other way, who asked him to take over these four giant stone dump trucks.

"Go back, go back, there's nothing to see."

"I'll say it again, I have no authority to order a trial without His Highness the Crown Prince's order."

The resolute attitude of the 3,000-strong general Gu Tao made many Wei army soldiers who were itching and impatient very dissatisfied. They gathered together to denounce Gu Tao. In their hatred, Gu Tao finally sent out his soldiers to surround the four giant catapults.

Live and turn a blind eye to those noisy comrades.

At this time, not far away from the position, Zhao Hongrun, Shang Shui Army General Wu Ji, and Deputy General Zhai Huang were casually inspecting the position.

When he saw the giant stone bullets not far away that were enough for two or three people to hug, Wu Ji couldn't help but whistle and said with a weird expression: "This thing...can really be put in a throwing basket?"

Zhao Hongrun smiled and said: "It is beyond human power, but there are corresponding equipment."

The equipment he was talking about was a simple crane that used pulleys and iron cables to lift the stone projectiles into the throwing baskets of those giant catapults.

Otherwise, relying on manpower alone, even a powerful general like Wu Ji, who is gifted with divine power, would never be able to move it.

This is beyond human capabilities.

"I see."

After hearing Zhao Hongrun's explanation, the deputy general of the Shangshui Army, Zhai Huang, nodded suddenly, and then he probed thoughtfully: "Your Highness, how about you aim at the stronghold of the Han general Ji Kuo on the opposite side to test your power?"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers who followed them laughed secretly: Lieutenant General Zhai usually looks stable, and it turns out that he doesn't have much resistance to novel things.

It's a pity that His Royal Highness the Prince politely refused.

"I would also like to test the power... Although I ordered the Manufacturing Bureau to build it, I was not present during the test." After a pause, Zhao Hongrun spread his hands helplessly and said, "But, this kind of stone bullet is

There is no need to use these few on ordinary Korean soldiers..."
