Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 583: Shouchun Attack and Defense!
Lei Bu looked at Su Fei and Gan Ning with an ugly expression.

Although he used to be a bandit leader, he is now a general guarding the Zhong Dynasty court.

I was actually pointed at in the face and called a "dog" by someone.

However, looking at the three thousand soldiers in front of him, Lei Bu still suppressed his anger and said with a smile: "Brother Gan, Brother Su, please forgive them when you can! We——"

Before Lei Bu could finish his words, Gan Ning suddenly stopped chewing the wild grass and swung the big knife on his shoulder forward.

He hates being called brother the most!
The years he spent as a Jiang thief are a stain that he can never erase.

Too childish.

Now, he is an official!

These days, only officials can return home in glory!
He gets angry with anyone who calls him brother!
When the archer behind him saw Gan Ning's action, the arrow that had been ready to shoot instantly left the bow.

Lei Bu, who was less than thirty steps away, was hit first and was instantly pierced by the arrows that covered the sky and the sun.

Behind him, Chen Lan and his troops obviously did not expect the enemy to be so unreasonable and started fighting directly.

The hundreds of people standing in the front were within the range of the rain of arrows.

Looking up at the rain of arrows coming at them, they opened their mouths wide. Before they could react, they were shot into hedgehogs by the rain of arrows.

A wave of arrows rained down -

The main generals Lei Bu and Chen Lan were both killed on the spot!

Hundreds of troops in the rear watched Lei Bu and Chen Lan die in battle in complete silence.

The next moment, they all changed direction and ran towards the Shouchun city behind them.

Gan Ning and Su Fei immediately led their troops in pursuit.

The horse-riding soldiers in front chased directly into the chaotic army and started hacking and killing.

The rebel troops led by Lei Bu and Chen Lan were slaughtered before they even reached the gate of Shouchun City.

On the city wall of Shouchun City, the city defense troops looked at the scene of Gan Ning, Su Fei and others killing each other from afar. They swallowed their saliva, their faces full of horror.

The enemy is fierce.

Shouchun, it’s really over!

When Gan Ning and Su Fei were besieging Lei Bu and Chen Lan, Zhang Sui followed the army all the way to within two miles of the south gate of Shouchun City.

The army stopped.

On the city wall of Shouchun, General Ji Ling and his generals were overlooking the outside of the city. All of them had pale faces without a trace of blood.

Ji Ling's eyes under his helmet were filled with despair.

The enemy's army consists of at least 30,000 people.

Moreover, the army was in neat order and generals could be seen everywhere, which showed that they were well prepared.

The army of Xuzhou is no less powerful than Cao Cao's army.

Ji Ling felt a little scared when he thought of Cao Cao's army.

Ji Ling looked for a while and found that there was no movement behind him. He roared at the general beside him: "Why hasn't your majesty replied yet?"

However, no one answered his question.

Ji Ling punched the city wall.

Your Majesty has become so incompetent since being defeated by Cao Cao!
Now that the enemy is at hand, he has yet to respond!

When Ji Ling was looking down at the army outside the city, the army outside the city began to move.

The army opened twelve passages.

Behind them, twelve teams of people pushed twelve huge machines and slowly moved forward from the rear.

There is a craftsman standing on each huge monster.

The craftsmen kept directing the crowd to push the huge machine forward.

In front of the twelve teams, a big man wearing iron armor and riding a war horse kept watching the twelve teams moving forward.

The big man is none other than him.

It was Liu Ye, who is currently the military advisor.

The twelve teams were pushing forward the huge monsters, which were the twelve thunder chariots that he had commanded the soldiers and craftsmen to urgently build in the past few days.

Seeing his invention being used on the battlefield so quickly, Liu Ye couldn't suppress the smile on his face. As the twelve teams pushed their Thunderbolt carts to the front of the army, Liu Ye directed the teams to fix the Thunderbolt carts and load them with huge stones.

Each huge rock is about the size of a young girl.

Each thunder chariot was fixed one hundred and fifty steps from the moat and two hundred steps from the city wall.

This distance is beyond the attack range of the archers and defensive equipment on the city wall.

Ji Ling and his generals looked at the twelve thunder chariots with extremely solemn expressions.

They haven't seen it.

Neither have I heard of it.

However, these things have a lot in common with catapults.

The difference is that it is much bigger.

Moreover, the boulders they carried were much larger than those of catapults.

A general questioned: "This distance is at least two hundred steps!"

"The distance a catapult can throw a stone is only one hundred and fifty steps."

"The archers are only a hundred paces away."

"It's beyond our defense range."

"Moreover, the boulders loaded by the enemy are several times heavier than the boulders loaded by our catapults."

"This thing of theirs doesn't seem to be used to deal with sieges, but rather to attack our army."

"But if they really use it to attack the city, I can't imagine that such a heavy stone can be thrown onto our city wall!"

Ji Ling stared at Liu Ye directing the crowd to operate the Thunderbolt Chariot, ignoring the generals' suspicions.

When Liu Ye commanded the twelve Thunderbolt chariots to be fixed and loaded with huge stones, Liu Ye waved a flag in his hand.

At the rear of the army, dozens of generals surrounded a chariot and rolled forward.

Among dozens of generals, the leaders were Commander-in-Chief Chen Deng and Military Advisor Chen Gong.

In the chariot, Zhang Sui was still sitting on a small stool, being fed oranges by Qin Lang.

Huang Yueying stood on the chariot, looking at the Thunderbolt chariot at the front of the army.

Beneath the veil, her emerald green eyes were faintly excited.

Although she had followed her father to Jiangxia and seen the battlefield several times.

But that was before the war.

Being in the middle of a war like this, watching the weapons of war in action, was an experience she had never had before.

This has great implications for her designing other weapons of war.

In front of Zhang Sui, Yan Xiang was holding the shaft of the chariot with both hands, looking at the wall of Shouchun with a complicated expression.

This is the Shouchun that I have built during my lifetime assisting Yuan Shu!
Now, I want to witness his destruction with my own eyes.

The chariot came to the center of the Thunderbolt Chariot, surrounded by Chen Deng, Chen Gong and others.

Chen Deng and others retreated to both sides.

Zhang Sui spat out the orange seeds in his mouth, stood up, stretched his waist, and then raised his head and said to Ji Ling and others on the city wall: "Listen, soldiers on the city wall, I am General Zhendong and Governor of Jizhou, Zhang Sui!"

Beside Zhang Sui's chariot, ten soldiers giving orders roared.

Zhang Sui said: "Yuan Shu is a traitor and should be killed by everyone!"

"This general is ordered by the emperor to attack Yuan Shu."

"He who knows the current affairs is a hero."

"As long as all the soldiers open the city and surrender, they will be pardoned!"

"Those who refuse to change their ways will be treated as Yuan Shu's accomplices when the city is breached!"

"I'll give you one stick of incense time."

After Zhang Sui finished speaking, he sat back on the stool.

Chen Deng rode his horse to the side of the chariot and said to Yan Xiang with a smile: "Mr. Yan, as Yuan Shu's former chief clerk, you should also say a few words."
