Chapter 250 The Mysterious Weapon of the First Steel Plant of the Great Qin Dynasty!
However, his emotional state didn't last more than three seconds.
"Bang!"
A dull, unusual sound suddenly rang out.
Zhang Fan kicked without any hesitation.
He kicked the captain, who was all tragic and pleading to die, right down!
This scene was completely unexpected!
In an instant, the tragic atmosphere of the scene, reminiscent of the poem "The wind howls and the Yi River is cold," was shattered!
"Go to hell!"
Zhang Fan rolled his eyes in annoyance and pointed helplessly at the captain on the ground:
"Who told you we were the underdog?"
"Stop spouting nonsense about death and life all the time!"
These words were spoken.
Fusu, who had just been moved to tears, suddenly found his tears welling up in his eyes.
The Qin generals around them, who were all righteous and ready to die for their country, were stunned and stood there dumbfounded.
Everyone stared at Zhang Fan, completely dumbfounded!
Look at the expressions on everyone's faces, as if they'd seen a ghost!
Zhang Fan couldn't help but sigh, and continued to explain:
"Although the First Fleet's naval guns only have a maximum range of five kilometers, they really can't help the capital of the Kingdom of Moru..."
"But who told you I had no backup plan?"
"Don't worry, our reinforcements will be here soon!"
Upon hearing the words "support troops".
The captain who had been kicked to the ground rubbed his backside as he got up.
He quickly considered the matter in his mind, and then said hesitantly:
"Master... even if all three thousand of our brothers who are anchored on the warships by the sea come to our aid."
"Adding our two thousand people here, that makes a total of five thousand!"
"Five thousand against twenty thousand, the troop strength difference is still a staggering fourfold!"
"This...this is still not easy to fight!"
Listening to the captain's straightforward arithmetic problem.
Zhang Fan showed no concern whatsoever; instead, a mysterious smile crept onto his lips.
"rest assured."
"From now on, just watch my C!"
The words fell.
A cold wind blew across the city walls.
The scene was deathly silent.
Fusu blinked, the soldiers scratched their heads, and the captain looked completely bewildered.
"Look...look at what?"
"West? Master, what is West?"
"Could it be some kind of lost formation? Or are they planning to break through to the west?"
Everyone stared at each other, completely unable to understand what the pronunciation meant, and looked at each other in bewilderment.
They stared blankly at the group of tough, brutish men from the Qin Dynasty.
Zhang Fan shook his head helplessly.
Thinking to myself, trying to use modern jokes with these people from over two thousand years ago is like throwing a flirtatious glance at a blind person.
"Alright, alright, if you don't understand, that's fine!"
Zhang Fan walked forward irritably and lifted his leg.
He kicked up the generals who were still kneeling on one knee, one by one, and urged them:
"Get to the city walls and set up defenses right now!"
"What are you all still standing here like idiots for?"
"Are you waiting for those 20,000 Japanese pirates to come and invite you to a feast?"
"promise!!"
After being kicked and scolded by Zhang Fan, the generals finally snapped out of their daze.
Although he was completely baffled by the "West" in the army, the master's confident attitude instantly calmed the morale of the entire army.
Under the command of their generals, the two thousand elite Qin soldiers immediately began to work in an orderly manner!
Not long after.
"Boom!"
The sound of wheels and footsteps came from outside the city gate.
Everyone was overjoyed and eagerly peeked out!
In the darkness of night, a procession bearing the banner of the Great Qin Black Bird was rapidly entering the city.
However, when the number of people who came was clear!
The Qin soldiers, whose hopes had just been ignited on the city wall, were instantly plunged into despair once again.
The person who arrived was none other than Mo Feng!
But he was followed by only five hundred elite Qin soldiers!
Besides the shipment of grain and fodder that was delivered!
What remained were horse-drawn carriages loaded with heavy solid wooden crates.
"That's...that's it?"
"Five hundred people? Even with us, that only makes two thousand five hundred!"
"Five hundred men coming to help? What a joke! Facing an army of twenty thousand, they're not even enough to fill a tooth gap!"
The soldiers were momentarily at a loss for what to do.
We were hoping for a large army to come to our rescue, but only this few people showed up!
They also brought a bunch of broken wooden crates, which was just a drop in the ocean!
However, this was in stark contrast to the dejection of the soldiers.
Mo Feng, who had just arrived at the city wall, was beaming with excitement and appeared exceptionally happy.
He strode up to Zhang Fan, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said loudly:
"I hereby address you, Immortal Master!"
"I am leading five hundred elite troops to escort the new weapons from the Great Qin's First Steel Plant!"
"Let's meet the immortal master here!"
"Furthermore, the remaining two thousand men have been handled as instructed!"
"Have them lie in ambush on the only road five miles west of the city, specifically waiting to hunt down the fleeing enemy soldiers!"
"And only 500 men were left on board the First Fleet of the Great Qin to guard it!"
These words were spoken.
The entire city wall fell into a deathly silence in an instant.
All the Qin soldiers who heard these words stared at Mo Feng as if he were a fool, and were immediately shocked!
"Did I hear that right? Chasing after fleeing soldiers?"
"Our 20,000 troops are about to encircle our 2,500 men like dumplings!"
"Instead of quickly transferring those two thousand men to defend the city, they're being sent to wait for the fleeing enemy to be pursued?"
"This is insane! Absolutely insane! Who's really in defeat?!"
The soldiers couldn't help but whisper among themselves, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Just then.
Having just finished dealing with matters within the city, Wang Li strode up the city wall, carrying his blood sword.
Just came up!
He then heard Mo Feng's "extremely arrogant" remarks.
Wang Li's stubborn temper immediately flared up.
He frowned, strode forward, and loudly questioned without any politeness:
"Commander Mo! Have you lost your mind from traveling so much?"
"A full 20,000 barbarian troops are outside the city; the encirclement is complete!"
"With our limited forces, we'd be lucky to hold out on the city walls for three days and three nights!"
"Why would you send your main force five miles away to capture routed soldiers?"
"This is utter nonsense!"
"If the city falls, are we just going to leave those two thousand people outside to watch the show?!"
Wang Li stiffened his neck, looked at Zhang Fan with unwavering defiance, and clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying:
"Master! In my humble opinion, the best course of action now is to immediately recall those two thousand men and defend the city to the death!"
Looking at Wang Li, who was red-faced with anxiety, and the soldiers around him with doubts on their faces.
Zhang Fan chuckled and waved his hand, saying:
"Alright, don't worry."
"Since I dared to set up this scheme, I am naturally confident of victory."
That's all.
Zhang Fan walked straight to the large wooden crates that had been carried up the city wall, casually unfastened the lock on one of the crates, and suddenly flung open the lid.
"Come and see, everyone, what is this?"
Upon hearing this, everyone gathered around curiously.
Under the torchlight, one could see the dry straw mat inside the wooden box!
Neatly arranged were rows of fist-sized iron balls, each with a short fuse sticking out from its top.
When the soldiers peeked out, they were all stunned.
"What...what is this?"
"A lump of iron? Could it be a hidden weapon used to throw off the city wall and hit people?"
"Give me a break!"
