Chapter 162 Deterrence
The sun has already set, and both sides of the river are bathed in the afterglow of the sunset.

From a distance, the entire Siming Mountain was dyed red.

red,
Full of red,

All that came into view was bathed in red light.

There were many bloody corpses on the ground, and streaks of blood were flowing on the sand.

For a moment, it was hard to tell whether it was the glow of the setting sun or the blood of those who had fallen forever.

The river came from the south, and a huge ship was anchored in the middle of the river.

Below this ship is a dark mass of figures.

Many of those people were wearing armor and holding spears commonly used in the army.

There are so many people.

I estimate there are around 100,000 or 200,000 people!
Generally speaking, the more soldiers there are, the braver they are, and the more oppressive they are.

The smaller party will inevitably be timid and panicky.

But that's not the case here.

Not only did the large number of people not help them, but it also had a significant negative effect on them.

Because the people they surrounded were too powerful.

He was so powerful that everyone who fought him died.
Anyone who sees him take action will be filled with fear, their souls will be deeply shocked, and they will lose the will to fight and their thighs will tremble.

Fear is not a fixed thing.
It will diffuse.

It is contagious.

The fear spread, from one person to another, and then caused a large-scale rout.

This is not!

The rout began.

In the end, the entire army will be dragged down.

The people in the center area of ​​these people were running backwards.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Wang Ming was wearing a noble and luxurious golden armor at this time.

Next to him was a three-meter-high bell.

The soldiers of the eighteen rebel coalition forces around Wang Ming were all extremely afraid.

all of these,
In fact, it was all caused by the big bell behind Wang Ming.

Wang Ming kicked the big bell down from a giant dragon boat that was 15 meters high. The noise it caused can be imagined.

It was like a bolt from the blue, the sound effect was really explosive.

How could ordinary soldiers of that era not be afraid, given that they had little knowledge, had little education, and were basically superstitious?

The soldiers who could see the big bell were frightened by Wang Ming's momentum and his sudden appearance from the sky.

But those who couldn't see it were already filled with inexplicable fear.

In order to rule well, emperors would use policies to keep the people ignorant and would also create some mythological aspects for themselves.

Son of Heaven!

Son of Heaven.

is God!

He is the true dragon emperor.

At this time, the soldiers were thinking about this.

The sound of the bell falling from the 15-meter-high dragon boat and hitting the ground,

At this time, the rebel soldiers had already misunderstood it as a punishment from heaven.

I thought it was God who was angry.
He was angry because of their rebellion.

Some extremely superstitious people have already put down their weapons, knelt down and kowtowed continuously.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The battalion commander of the 18th anti-King coalition, Li Zitong, said to Qin Shubao with a worried look on his face:
"General Qin, this is bad! The soldiers in front of us think that Emperor Yang Guang is a god and they don't have the courage to attack this tyrant."

Qin Shubao also had a sad look on his face and said in a deep voice:
"Yes! If we continue like this, the morale of the army will collapse completely. Then we will be completely defeated in this battle."

Xu Maogong pondered for a while and said helplessly:
"It seems that only a huge reward can bring out brave men."

Qin Shubao nodded, as if he thought this was a good idea. Just as he was about to open his mouth to agree, someone interrupted him.

Qin Shubao, whose conversation was interrupted, did not seem angry at all and just listened to the man quietly.

The person who interrupted was none other than Mr.

It was none other than Zhu Can, King of Nanyang, one of the eighteen rebel kings.

Although Qin Shubao was the chief marshal of the 18-way anti-King coalition, he was just a worker at the end of the day.

It wasn't because everyone was convinced of his ability to be the chief marshal of the 18-way coalition army.

Rather, the Wagang Army among the 18-way coalition was the strongest.

Cheng Yaojin became the leader of the alliance of eighteen rebel armies, and Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao also followed him to the position.

In addition, the strongest force in the alliance at this time was no longer the Wagang Army, but Zhu Can.

Zhu Can's face was gloomy, and he said in a cruel tone: "Why bother? Where do I have the time to do this?"

Qin Shubao forced a smile on his face and said in a friendly tone: "Then I wonder what the King of Nanyang has to say?"

Zhu Can smiled and snorted, "It's time to cut the Gordian knot!"

After hearing what Zhu Can said, the other eighteen rebel kings were still a little confused and wanted to hear Zhu Can's opinion.

but,

Zhu Can did not express his intention to discuss it with them.

Instead, he acted on his own and issued military orders directly to the messenger beside him.

What Zhu Can didn't know was that when he delivered the order,
Qin Shubao and Xu Maogong looked at each other, and a barely noticeable smile appeared on their lips.

Both of them were people of extraordinary talent. They had already thought of the order Zhu Can would give, but they could not give it, let alone say it out loud.

So waiting,
Wait until someone can't bear it anymore and take the blame.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

People all have a herd mentality.

The soldiers on the battlefield saw people in front of them kneeling down and kowtow, so they also put down their weapons, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

This phenomenon seems to be contagious.
Keep spreading, keep spreading, keep spreading...

It was as if Wang Ming really possessed the legendary kingly aura, which could make people kneel down in submission.

The ministers still on the dragon boat thought that if things continued like this, the enemy's morale would collapse.
But the next moment,
From the central camp of the eighteen rebel kings,

A rain of arrows appeared in the sky filled with dark clouds, covering the sky like dark clouds, densely packed and overwhelming.

“Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!!!”

The sound of the wind caused by the whistling arrows mixed in was also extremely terrifying, and the sound of "shushushu" was endless.

"Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff..."

Arrows shot at the soldiers on the ground who were close to Wang Ming, and the sound of arrows piercing flesh could be heard continuously.

“Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah…”

Those who were not shot to death by one arrow were good, but those who were not hit in the vital parts were simply groaning in pain on the ground.

Wang Ming was also startled by the sudden rain of arrows.

He never expected these guys to be so cruel.

Kill all these war-fearing soldiers in one breath.

This rain of arrows is not over yet.

A continuous rain of arrows followed closely behind.

These rains of arrows were different from the first one.

The first volley of arrows was a random attack, but the subsequent arrows had only one target, which was Wang Ming, who was standing among a pile of corpses.
