"Brother, why are we traveling all the way to the north?" asked a man in gray linen among the bandits.
Chu Zhuoming looked forward and snorted coldly: "Nonsense, there are only two thousand defenders in Yunhuai City, and they spent the whole night with us in the East City. Now the East City is still attacking, I don't believe there are still people at the North City Gate, even if there are , I guess they are also a bunch of unruly people!"
He has been delayed by the opponent all night, and if he cannot defeat them before sunset today, he will have no choice but to withdraw with his men first.
However, Chu Zhuoming felt that the other party could only hold on for one more morning at most. Looking at the Beicheng Tower in the distance, he slightly raised the corner of his mouth, raised his hand and shouted: "Just set up a ladder for me and rush up!"
"Kill!"
Immediately, three thousand people launched an attack together, one mile, half a mile, a hundred paces, fifty paces... I saw that the bandits were getting closer and closer to the city gate, but there was no movement on the city tower. , which made everyone feel strange, and their pace slowed down.
But at this moment, two figures suddenly appeared on the city tower, holding long bows in their hands. The front ends of the arrows were tied with cloth strips coated with kerosene, and flames were coming from them. As they loosened their grip on the arrows, Hand, a sound of breaking through the air came out.
"Hey~"
The two arrows rushed out at extremely fast speeds, not targeting the enemy, but piercing into the ground.
Seeing this, many bandits burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, as expected, as the boss said, the defense of the North City Gate is weak!"
"Can two people be considered weak? Why not open the city gate and let us in!"
"Forget it's two people, the key point is that their shooting skills are too bad, they can't even hit from such a close distance."
"Quick, quick, quick, let's attack the city quickly and have a feast first. Maybe there will be a beautiful girl, hehehe~"
"..."
But they did not know that the two archers on the tower were selected by Tang Ji from more than a hundred people, nor did they realize that the rocket ignited the kerosene poured on the ground after it penetrated into the ground, and the kerosene then Ignite the fuse of the explosive. At this time, the one-foot-long fuse is almost burned out.
Tang Ji poked his head out from the tower and focused his eyes on the place where the explosives were buried. However, after waiting for a while, there was no movement. He scratched his head in confusion: "Is it not in proportion? It shouldn't be. Even if there is a problem with the proportion, it is not much. It will ring once!”
Seeing that the enemy troops were getting closer and closer, he was about to order everyone to resist first, but he was preempted by the loud noise coming from the city.
"Boom~Boom~"
Two loud noises were earth-shattering, and the entire ground seemed to shake.
The bandit standing nearby was directly swallowed by the heat generated by the explosion and turned into a corpse. His death was extremely tragic.
People a little further away were not spared. In an instant, the iron pieces hidden in the jar flew out and penetrated directly through their bodies. Some unlucky guys had their throats cut directly, and even a piece of iron rushed directly towards them. One person's head has an unpredictable outcome.
As for those on the periphery, they were also knocked to the ground by the aftermath of the explosion.
In just such an instant, hundreds of people lost their lives, and many more fell to the ground and kept wailing.
The next moment, the bandits were stunned, and so were the people guarding the city upstairs.
Cheng Tie swallowed, still replaying the explosion scene just now in his mind, his eyes trembling in shock. Half an hour ago, when Tang Ji asked people to bury those pots, he jokingly asked if he wanted to ask God to take them away. The bandit fell away. Now it seems that God has indeed appeared. Otherwise, how could Mr. Tang have such power?
The rest of the people behaved similarly to Cheng Tie. They had doubts when they buried the clay pot, but now, no one dared to question it. They looked at Tang Ji mostly with admiration and gratitude, but also with a little hidden secret.
Fear.
Tang Ji had also judged the power of the explosion, so he acted calmer and exhaled: "It seems that the internal lead is too long."
Outside the city tower, the two explosions each left a large crater with a diameter of one foot. Countless limbs and bodies were piled around the crater. Outside, most of them were injured bandits, who were covering their bodies.
Wounds everywhere, lying on the ground wailing.
The air was filled with the fishy smell of gunpowder smoke and blood, which made people nauseous. However, those bandits who stood behind and escaped had never seen such a scene before, and they had already collapsed to the ground in fear.
The crotch of a bandit standing in front of the crowd had become wet, with tears and snot flowing out. He knelt down and kowtowed: "God, God, please forgive me, don't kill me, don't kill me!"
Just like that, the bandits who were originally shouting to kill were so frightened that even their fallen companions didn't bother to pay attention and turned around and fled.
In the distance, Chu Zhuoming also swallowed several times. He had a panoramic view of the scene that had just happened. Although he did not believe in the existence of gods, he was sure that the defenders in the city were causing trouble. He raised his head again and looked at
On the tower, it was discovered that the two soldiers who had shot arrows before had shot two more arrows.
His eyes then fell on the fleeing bandit, and sure enough, not long after, the scene just now happened again.
"boom!"
If the previous sudden explosion frightened the bandits, then this explosion intensified the terror in their hearts.
Chu Zhuoming clenched his hands into fists. He had no idea what kind of weapon the opponent had or how much he had in reserve. In other words, this Beicheng was a place where there was no return. In such a short time, hundreds of his brothers died.
, he naturally couldn't gamble with his brothers' lives, so he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Withdraw!"
Immediately, several bandit leaders turned their horses and headed back toward the dense forest behind them.
Before taking a few steps, Chu Zhuoming turned his head and looked in the direction of the tower: "When I take down Beihuai City, I must get this weapon!"
After finishing speaking, he looked at the team and found that many people were already showing signs of fatigue, and said angrily: "What on earth is this second guy doing? Why doesn't he take action? If this continues, won't I have to lose so many things in vain?
brother!"
Seeing the bandits escaping, everyone standing on the city tower felt unbelievable. A team of three thousand people was actually beaten away by a hundred of them. To be precise, it was Tang Ji alone, because everyone did not take action at all, so they all raised their arms and shouted:
"Master Tang is mighty!"
"Master Tang is mighty!"
Cheng Tiehan smiled and touched the back of his head and asked Tang Ji: "Brother Tang, what is in that clay pot?"
"I asked Mr. Yan to find the materials yesterday." Tang Ji exhaled. Fortunately, these bandits were not stubborn. Otherwise, if all eight cans had been blown up, the opponent would still have at least a thousand people left to deal with more than a hundred of them.
More than enough.
Cheng Tie didn't expect that the combination of those things could be so lethal, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Brother Tang, let's dig out those four quickly and take them to Dongcheng to blow up those bitches!"
Tang Ji shook his head: "No, there are only about a hundred people guarding Beicheng, so the four jars should continue to be buried outside just in case something happens. Besides, it's useless to take them out. The gunpowder explosion must be in a sealed container.
If the clay pot is thrown out, it will break and the effect will be greatly reduced."
"If you can't use clay pots, you can use iron pots!" Cheng Tie replied.
Tang Ji looked into the distance and replied casually: "I also thought of it, but I forgot to write it down in the materials list for Mr. Yan. I searched around the county government and couldn't find it, so I had to use a clay pot instead."
It’s not that nothing was found at all, it’s just that the only iron can found was Yan Jiong’s urinal.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Tie started to giggle: "Brother Tang, have you forgotten what I used to do?"
