"Another car has been delivered?"
"What is it this time?"
At this time, Fan Hanzhong no longer underestimated anything sent by Zhang Bao.
In the past, whether it was explosive packs or hot air balloons, they had caused considerable losses to Cao Kang and the others in the capital.
"It seems...a cart full of medicine."
"There's another letter!"
The visitor said to Fan Hanzhong.
"Bring it to me and see!"
Fan Hanzhong quickly took the letter and read it.
This letter was not written by Zhang Bao, but by Ma Yaner.
It was stated above and by Fan Hanzhong that Zhang Bao had prepared these drugs before.
He also said that if a fight starts on Fan Hanzhong's side, after a period of time, explosive bags and hot air balloons will be sent up first. If they can't be dealt with, these explosives will be sent up again.
Fan Hanzhong looked at the cart of medicinal powder that was delivered and didn't know what to do.
But thinking about it, it should be poison or laxative.
According to Ma Yan'er, the current city wall cannot be entered, but if the catapult is now set up under the city wall, the powder can be put into the capital.
The drinking water in the capital mainly comes from wells.
Even after so much powder exploded in the air, there was no need to mix it into water or other places.
According to the current density, just throw it in and it will be done.
Fan Hanzhong immediately asked people to use the catapult.
Pushed the catapult under the city wall.
After opening the mouth of the sack, he threw it into the city.
Countless medicine bags flew into the capital with their mouths open, and medicine powder flew all over the sky.
The people below were already crowded waiting under the city wall, and these medicinal powders were inevitable.
For these soldiers, although they didn't know what it was, since it was thrown in from outside the city, it must not be a good thing.
But now it was too late to escape. After a while, many people felt stomachaches.
The attack of Cao Kang's men and horses once again stalled slightly.
Fan Hanzhong's troops have gradually occupied the high ground.
"Shame on you!"
"What a shame!"
"What a good fight, what has happened?!"
"This is not my style at all!"
Fan Hanzhong listened to the feedback from the front and stamped his feet speechlessly.
"General, you shouldn't fight in the first place!"
"If you can win at the lowest cost, why not?"
"We don't care what method we are using now, as long as we can kill the enemy, this is a good method!"
"Sir, please don't be overly burdened."
A general said to Fan Hanzhong.
"Where did you learn these crooked theories?"
Fan Hanzhong's eyelids twitched.
"Zhang Zhoumu, Zhang Zhoumu told us many examples of wars when we went back last time."
"History is written by the victors. No matter how we proceed, only the final result is the most important."
One of the generals said.
"Then according to Zhang Bao, it's enough to just use so many crooked tricks to fight a war?"
"Then what do you need so many of us for?!"
Fan Hanzhong said very unhappy.
"But look, General, if the explosives hadn't blasted away the crowd on the city wall just now, we might not have gotten in yet."
"Coupled with the current powder, we won't be able to get in at all."
"Even if we can reach the current situation, we will still have to pay a very heavy price!"
Several generals said to Fan Hanzhong.
"Now that we are in, let's attack with all our strength!"
"Have someone clear the men and horses on the city wall and push the siege truck to the city gate!"
"The giant siege engine that took so much effort to make must be effective!"
Fan Hanzhong looked at the gap in the city wall in front and said.
Now their troops have attacked through this gap.
At this time, the people and horses were already fighting on the city wall. Naturally, there were not many people who could take care of the people below who were close to the city wall.
The two siege vehicles, surrounded by many people, headed toward the city gate in a mighty manner.
These two siege vehicles were made by Fan Hanzhong after he had talked to Zhang Bao for several days when he went to Hezhou before Zhang Bao agreed to make them for him.
At that time, Fan Hanzhong had already begun planning to attack the capital.
But to attack the capital, you must have matching siege tools.
After seeing Zhang Bao's prototype car, Fan Hanzhong was so shameless that he let Zhang Bao build two of them no matter what.
These two siege vehicles were modeled by Zhang Bao after the last wolf-head hammer in The Lord of the Rings.
Zhang Bao had also been to the capital before.
He knew how tall and heavy the gates of the capital were.
A city gate of this size would be difficult to open even with explosives.
To blast it away, it would have to be a giant battering ram of the same size.
Even with all the power of Hezhou, they could only make two battering rams of this weight, and they were all brought by Fan Hanzhong.
The biggest problem is the launch problem.
When the entire battering ram is moving forward, it not only needs hundreds of horses to pull it in front, but also needs many people to push it behind.
This is why Fan Hanzhong didn't ask anyone to bring up the siege ram at the beginning.
At this time, if we really come up before the city defense is breached.
According to the moving speed of the battering ram, it is no different from a living target.
"Pull up!"
With a loud shout.
Hundreds of people pulled a long rope and pulled up the huge wolf-head mallet.
"quick!"
"Archer!"
"Shoot an arrow for me!"
"Aim for the siege engines below!"
Cao De on the city wall also discovered this huge siege vehicle and quickly called his men to stop it.
But hundreds of people are pulling this wolf-head mallet. Even if some people are hit by arrows, others will immediately follow.
A huge wolf-head hammer was pulled up.
"put!"
With the general's roar.
The huge wolf-head hammer struck the city gate.
The entire city gate shook violently, but it remained motionless.
"Come again!"
"pull!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
Inside the capital at this time.
Cao Kang has also heard about the situation on this side of the city wall.
He never expected that he wouldn't even be able to hold on for a whole day.
It has actually started to hit the city gate.
Listening to this news, it is estimated that it will be a matter of time before the city gate is breached.
"emperor!"
"The situation is a bit critical now, so it's better to consider your options in advance!"
Cao De rushed into the palace covered in blood.
