"That's nonsense. The army is fighting in front now. If we retreat any further, what will others think?"
Although Liu Xun is also very curious now, how did these Han troops extend the firing range of the trebuchet to this place.
However, he didn't believe it from the bottom of his heart that they could send something that could explode to its current location.
"Don't worry, no one can achieve this distance! Unless they can raise the city wall another three feet!"
Above the city, Luo Beichuan was also deep in thought. Elevating the city was of course the easiest way, but they couldn't do it now, let alone three feet, even if it was three feet, he couldn't do it.
"Bring me all your spare springs!"
Seeing the cracks in the city wall getting bigger and bigger, Luo Beichuan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, spinning back and forth in front of, back and left, left and right of the trebuchet.
This kind of trebuchet is made entirely of steel. Changing the length of the projection arm is also a task that cannot be completed in a short time. At this time, all they can do is add a few more power rods. Spring up.
Following Luo Beichuan's order, the remaining soldiers quickly took out the spare springs from the large iron box next to them.
Zhang Yuchong also saw some clues, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Luo Beichuan and the others reinstall the springs on the spring holder.
After adding a full six springs, there was no more space on the entire fixed frame. Luo Beichuan breathed a sigh of relief and once again aimed at the stands outside the city...
Whether it can work or not depends on whether he lives or dies!
"Woo——"
The black gunpowder bullets drew a beautiful arc and went straight to the center of the rebel camp...
On the city wall, even Luo Chenglong was holding his breath now.
A small gunpowder bomb now carries the hope of a whole city.
"boom--"
"Your Majesty!"
A huge explosion sounded in the center of the stand, and the rebel generals surrounding the stand hurriedly rushed forward.
"Crack--"
The four royal flags standing side by side suddenly fell down, and the entire rebel team suddenly fell into chaos...
"Come again! Come again!"
Luo Beichuan's whole body was trembling, he was actually hit, he was actually hit.
"Retreat! Retreat! Withdraw!"
Under the stands, Liu Xian, whose face was covered with blood, was really in shock. In a panic, he quickly issued an order to withdraw his troops.
"The rebels have retreated! The rebels have retreated!"
Seeing the rebel soldiers retreating like a tide, Luo Chenglong finally let go...
"boom--"
"boom--"
"boom--"
Now the situation was reversed. Luo Beichuan bombarded the stands in the center of the rebels again while commanding his subordinates to quickly target the trebuchets that were preparing to evacuate.
"Send the order and start recruiting civilians from now on to build the urn city!"
After checking the cracks on the city wall, even Luo Chenglong was still feeling scared.
Although the rebels have temporarily withdrawn, they will eventually come back...

"This is unreasonable, these damn Wuhuan people!"
In Jinyang City, Liu Deng finally saw what Guan Fu sent.
Wu Huan's envoys had just been taught a lesson in Chang'an City, but these damn bastards actually came directly to the door to extort money.
And this appetite is really not ordinary. He actually opened his mouth and directly blackmailed Liu Deng for 500,000 shi of grain, 1 million shi of green salt, 50,000 pairs of armor, 50,000 riding bows, 10,000 beauties, gold, silver, pearls and jade. Fifty cars!
This old guy really regards Liu Deng as a cash machine. Even Liu Deng is a little strange now. Where did this guy get his confidence?
"Your Majesty, among the veterans, we might as well agree to it for the time being, stabilize them first, and then make plans..."
Unlike Liu Deng, after staring at the sand table for a long time, Zhang Tu suddenly said in a low voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty! We have no available troops in the country now, and the Jinsuoguan Pass is also very precarious. If the two fronts start a war at this time, I'm afraid..."
As the lieutenant of Dai Guo, although Wu Guoxiang was not an outstanding general, he could still distinguish the priorities.
"Your Majesty, I also agree with the opinions of the two adults. A little impatience will ruin the big plan!"
Even internal historian Chen Qi is now on Wu Guoxiang's side.
"Have you ever thought about something? Why did they put forward such an exaggerated condition? The appetite of the evil wolf is never satisfied. If we just agree to it, I'm afraid they will only go further!"
Liu Deng looked gloomy. At this time, these Wuhuan people had obviously heard the news. They were just a bunch of hungry wolves.
Regardless of whether Liu Deng has these things now, even if he does, he can't just give them to them, otherwise, they will only think that Liu Deng is weak and can be bullied!
"Your Majesty, what do you mean..."
Zhang Tu was stunned. It was undeniable that Liu Deng was right. Things like going back on one's word did not put any pressure on the Wuhuan people at all.
However, at this time, if Yanmen really starts to fight, no one knows what the final fight will look like based on the Yanmen defenders alone...
"My intention is to let General Guan Fu tell those Wuhuan people what it means to be a strong man! Let General Guan Fu teach them a good lesson and let them know what it means to be a jade in pieces rather than a piece of brick!"
The Seven Kingdoms Rebellion will eventually subside. Historically, it only took three months for the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion to be put down.
King Liang's Suiyang can be defended for three months, there is no reason why his own Jinyang cannot be defended!
To put it bluntly, even if Yanmen fell, those Wuhuan people would not be able to occupy Yanmen. It was impossible for them to stay in the Han territory for a long time.
On the contrary, if they see that you are weak and can be bullied, then it will be a big trouble for you!
"But Your Majesty, what if they really attack Yanmen directly?"
Wu Guoxiang asked still a little worried.
"A thousand people were transferred from the Gunpowder Camp and rushed to Yanmen at Xingye. If they really dare to be tough, Feng Jing and Guan Fu will not be vegetarians after having the Gunpowder Camp! To put it bluntly, I, the King Can they bear the risk of Yanmen falling, and can they bear the risk of most of the casualties?"
As soon as Liu Deng said this, everyone was stunned. Although Liu Deng's plan was very dangerous, it was undeniable that this method was indeed very effective!
Daiguo can bear the loss of hundreds of thousands of people killed and injured when Yanmen falls, but the Wuhuan people absolutely cannot bear the risk of more than half of them being killed and injured!
Once their losses are too great, what will greet them is probably Yi Zhixie's butcher's knife!
