Chapter 139 Ganpu Siege, Chu Chen Departs
Chapter 139 Ganpu Siege, Chu Chen Departs
Just as Si Wei was sighing, he saw the dark, swarming Ganpu army pushing catapults and ladders toward the city wall.
"All soldiers, listen to my command! Archers, prepare yourselves! City defenders, prepare yourselves!"
Suddenly, everyone started to move.
To be honest, when Si Wei saw that huge catapult, he wasn't very confident.
Young Master Chu described the cement as so powerful; could the city wall actually withstand the attack of those flying stones?
The catapult stopped outside the firing range.
From the crowd, Sang Bo, who was completely encased in iron armor, brandished his broadsword and shouted, "Attack!"
In an instant, a dark mass of people, armed with weapons, pushed the city ladders and charged toward Cloud Peak City.
Sang Bo was filled with regret at this moment, as they had become accustomed to robbing Cloud Peak City.
It has never offered much resistance over the years, and the city walls are dilapidated.
Therefore, they only regarded Cloud Peak City as their granary and would rob it if they wanted it.
I didn't expect that in just one month since I last checked on it, the city wall looks brand new.
As the Ganpu army moved out, shouts of battle, curses, and the whooshing of arrows from the defending soldiers filled the air.
It instantly filled the entire battlefield.
Chu Chen stood in the car, set up his sniper rifle, and coldly watched everything unfold.
To be honest, he wasn't worried at all at that moment.
The only thing that interested me was the sniper rifle; with so many moving targets, it was a great opportunity to practice.
The only slightly annoying thing was the catapults behind us, which would suddenly launch a stone at the mine's walls.
So Chu Chen turned his gun around and aimed it at the catapult.
However, as a sniping novice, breaking the catapult's rope was clearly not something that could be done with just one or two shots.
So Chu Chen frantically pulled the trigger on the catapults.
It took dozens of bullets to finally take down one of them.
This efficiency is way too damn slow.
Si Wei was surprised to find that the boulder flew at high speed and crashed onto the city wall.
The thick city wall only trembled slightly.
"Haha, it seems that what Young Master Chu said is correct."
In that case, the battle will be much easier. All we need to do is destroy his ladders and let our soldiers reap the heads.
Seeing that the catapults were ineffective, Sangbo began to get anxious.
It seems the only option is to send a large army to besiege the city.
Because the cost of climbing the city ladder was too high, they called a retreat.
As the crowd left, Si Wei burst into laughter.
Before long, three fast horses came toward the city wall.
Such a small collision, and they're already eager to persuade you to surrender. It seems the outcome of this battle is already decided.
"Listen up, people of Cloud Peak City! Behind my Ganpu Kingdom, there are still 100,000 soldiers. I urge you to surrender as soon as possible."
The newcomer spoke arrogantly, without distinguishing right from wrong.
Unfortunately, those were his last words: He came arrogantly, and he died arrogantly.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the man collapsed from his horse with a thud.
At this moment, not only Si Wei was dumbfounded, but Sang Bo was also dumbfounded.
In times of war, envoys are not to be killed. How can the Great Xia Dynasty be so devoid of martial ethics?
So, Sang Bo, roused to action, gave an order, and the ten thousand soldiers behind him roared as they charged toward the battlefield.
Si Wei then used binoculars to look towards the jade mine.
On a high platform, on the roof of Young Master Chu's black car, Chu Chen was smiling and waving at him.
Si Wei gave Chu Chen a helpless wry smile. "Young Master Chu, this is against the rules."
Chu Chen: Rules. The gun in my hand is the rule.
Just then, a sound came from the walkie-talkie.
“You idiot, I know that the envoy was killed by your hidden weapon, but this is not in accordance with the rules.”
Chu Chen immediately recognized Chen Qingxuan's voice.
"Um, I don't understand. I just want to know if my hidden weapon can kill someone from this far away."
"Alright, you're good with hidden weapons, but I estimate that before an incense stick can burn, Ganpu will mobilize his entire army, and then Siwei will be under a lot of pressure."
Chu Chen never expected that practicing his skills would cause such a trouble.
But I didn't pay much attention to it.
At that moment, he was thinking about a question: if he were to drive this armored vehicle out, equipped with a Type 95 machine gun, would there be any danger?
So he spoke into the walkie-talkie to Chen Qingxuan and said, "You drunkard, if I drive this car in and there's danger, can you save me?"
"What do you want to do, you idiot?"
"Tell me, with your ninth-rank strength, are you capable of bringing me out of here?"
"If we're lucky, there shouldn't be any problems."
"That's fine then..."
After saying that, he called Chu Yi to the car via walkie-talkie.
"Brother, I'll take you over there for a look, are you in?"
"Young master, you said you're going over there?............"
Chu Yi pointed at the Ganpu army that was approaching menacingly from the opposite side.
"What? Are you scared?"
"No, I'm not afraid myself, but young master, would you like to invite Daoist Qingxuan along?"
"Since you're not afraid, stop talking nonsense and drive."
After saying that, Chu Chen got into the car.
Chu Yi obediently started the car and headed towards the city gate.
Si Wei had been keeping a close eye on what was happening here.
Watching Chu Chen's car drive away from the city gate, he panicked a little: What is this kid up to?
After saying that, he ignored the soldiers on the city wall and strode towards the city gate.
"Young Master Chu, what's going on?" Panting, Si Wei stopped the car and asked Chu Chen.
"Haha, Lord Si, there are over 20,000 people in Ganpu. You must be feeling some pressure now."
"To be honest, Young Master Chu, as long as I am within these city walls, I, Si Wei, have never been afraid."
Si Wei was very confident in the cement-built city wall.
As long as we don't open the city gates, those Ganpu barbarians can forget about getting in.
I don't care about your catapults or siege engines, I have 10,000 troops on this city wall.
From a high vantage point, it's not an easy task to control.
"That settles it then, I'll go out and earn some referral fees."
After saying this, he disregarded Si Wei's objections and forcibly ordered the city gates to be opened.
The carriage sped out of the city gate in a flash.
Si Wei watched the armored vehicle drive away and muttered to himself, "Is Young Master Chu short of money?"
However, he turned around and climbed the wall, instructing an adjutant to keep a close watch on Chu Chen's vehicle.
If there is any danger, go out to rescue immediately.
Just as the carriage was leaving the city gate, Chen Qingxuan shook his head, carrying a wine bottle and a steel sword.
In a flash, he arrived at the high platform closest to the city gate.
Chu Chen's idea differed from Si Wei's: either don't fight, or fight until you're scared.
The solution is to prevent such incidents from happening again.
His own jade mine is located in this border region.
If those barbarians from Ganpu were to suddenly attack you like that, you can't stay here forever.
The vehicles charged straight toward the enemy's army.
Sangbo from Ganpu also looked incredulous.
What is this thing? How dare it have such audacity to come towards my army?
"Quickly, find out everything about that thing."
