Seeing that Zhao Xun did not attack the city for four consecutive days, in addition to letting the Mohe people continue to dig tunnels, people moved crossbows and trebuchets into the tunnels last night. In addition, the soldiers were training,
Zhao Xun was recuperating. Zhang Qianhe and Zhang Yu couldn't help asking: "General, why don't you attack the city?"
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "I thought you wouldn't ask. We'll find out tonight."
"General, are you attacking the city tonight?" asked sideways glances from both sides.
Zhao Xun smiled lightly and said nothing.
Unknowingly, it was night again, and it was the night of the fifth day. Yi Lou Weiyang and Yang Qi patrolled the towers of the North City thoughtfully, staring at the Xiaoguo Army's barracks with shining eyes. Xiaoguo outside the city, and
Just like the previous few days, there was no movement at all, and it was even quieter. Apart from the densely packed trenches, it seemed that their presence was not felt, and only the roaring flags were fluttering back and forth in the sky.
The night is so quiet, so quiet that it makes people feel highly uneasy. Compared with yesterday, tonight is even quieter, so quiet that it makes people feel scary.
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
Suddenly, the Xiaoguo Army's crossbows began to fire. The large crossbows hidden in the trenches emerged one after another and launched an upward attack on the three-foot-high Liao Tunnel City. Huge crossbow arrows were fired one after another.
The shot hit the top of the city, making a crackling sound and splashing firelight. After being shocked, the Liaodong Army on the top of the city instinctively squatted down to avoid the enemy's arrows. Only a handful of observation posts remained between the battlements.
"Huhuhu..."
"The trebuchet is the trebuchet of the Xiaoguo Army! Dodge!" A soldier screamed sadly.
The Xiaoguo Army's trebuchets also started working. These trebuchets were also hidden in the trenches. There were almost no traces of them on the walls of Liao Tunnel City, but the stone bullets they fired were spinning in the sky, and then
Falling hard.
"Rumble..."
The stone bullets kept falling, making a deafening sound behind the city wall. Many stone bullets crossed the city wall and flew behind the city.
There are not many residents in the city near the city wall, and not many houses are intact. This is the result of the Liaodong Army's attack half a month ago. No matter how many stone bullets fall now, it will have little impact on the Liaodong Army.
Sometimes, stone bullets bounced on the street, making a very unpleasant sound, which was extremely harsh.
At this moment, under the cover of crossbows and stone bullets, more than ten Xiaoguo troops jumped up from the trench and launched an attack towards the north gate.
Yilou Weiyang and Yang Qi were both surprised. Did Zhao Xun actually want to attack the city at night? Generally, sieges, unless necessary and raiding, are rarely carried out at night.
But upon closer inspection, I found that the attacking soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army were neither carrying bamboo ladders, pushing arrow towers, nor carrying heavy wooden beams. They seemed to each be holding a
The big wooden barrel quickly approached the north gate. These Xiaoguo sergeants didn't even have weapons, so they rushed forward quickly holding such a wooden barrel. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have thought they were crazy.
Although they didn't know what these people were going to do, both Yi Lou Weiyang and Yang Qi felt bad.
"Counterattack! Counterattack quickly!"
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Because the enemy was already very close to the city wall, it was difficult for the crossbow to adjust to such a low angle. Archers could only be used to counterattack. The archers of the Xiaoguo Army gathered behind the city wall. They shot the arrows into the sky and then let them fall freely.
.The arrowheads keep falling, advancing
Sergeant Xiaoguo, someone fell down from time to time, and the wooden barrel also slipped to the side, but then he was picked up by the soldiers who jumped out of the trench and continued to rush to the city gate. Then the soldiers neatly packed the wood
He put it under the city gate and left quickly.
"Cover with your giant shield!"
Seeing the heavy casualties, Zhang Meng, who was in charge of the vanguard and eager for revenge, said sternly.
Immediately afterwards, more than ten large stainless steel shields were lifted up, with long special hooks passing through them, and they were lifted together by the soldiers to cover others in transporting these special wooden barrels.
The Liaodong soldiers at the top of the city felt very strange. These Xiaoguo troops did not use wood. What were they going to do under the city gate?
It took more than two hours for the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army to slowly reduce their transportation. The summer day dawned early, and at this moment, a bright light appeared in the eastern sky, shining on the entire earth.
What was the Xiaoguo Army doing? Not only the Liaodong Army on the city wall was puzzled, but Zhang Qian and Zhang Yu in the rear army were also puzzled. How could there be such an attack on the city? The midnight passed like this. Let's talk about a surprise attack.
no.
"This is all the results achieved in the past few days. It took four days in Changhe City and five days here. What took ten days will definitely yield results." Zhao Xun looked at the things placed under the gate of Liao Tunnel City.
The thickened wooden barrel said secretly.
Except for the black powder inside, the rows of wooden barrels outside are completely filled with soil. In addition to the gunpowder, the other party strengthens the explosive power and aggregates its power.
"Hu Xiang, it's up to you!"
Zhao Xun, who also rushed to the trench, slowly said to Hu Xiang beside him that he was responsible for twisting the leads and igniting the fire. Hu Xiang silently recalled the drills of the past few days and recalled various steps.
After hearing Zhao Xun's order, Hu Xiang obeyed the order and drilled along the trench until he reached the end, then he saw the opportunity and jumped up.
Seeing someone dispatching, the Liaodong Army archers on the city wall naturally attacked immediately. Arrows kept falling around him, but Hu Xiang, who only brought a dagger and a small buckler, moved very quickly and deftly.
Sometimes he runs in a straight line, sometimes in a curve
He moved forward, sometimes standing up, sometimes lying down, and sometimes rolling forward again. He strictly followed the training outline of Zhao Xun's personal guard camp. Most of the arrowheads were very close to him, but they never hit him. A small number of them were shot by Zhao Xun again.
He is separated by a round shield and a dagger in his hand.
Soon after, Hu Xiang finally rushed to the north gate smoothly. In the city gate of the north gate, there were already two hundred wooden barrels piled up, all containing black gunpowder. After Hu Xiang carefully inspected them, he
According to the training method, I installed the fuse, entangled it, pulled it outside, lit the fuse, and ran away immediately.
"Puff puff puff!"
The arrowheads kept flying behind, closely chasing Hu Xiang's footsteps. The arrowheads shot into the soil, splashing pieces of dust. After a while, maybe because he had finished the work, Hu Xiang became more agile and succeeded.
A tiger leaped into the trench in front.
"Lord, it's done!"
Hu Xiang gasped softly and said.
"Well done!"
Under the North City Gate, a long fuse was burning quietly, but the Liaodong Army above could not be seen and was still firing arrows in a daze. However, the Xiaoguo Army, which was not the leader at first, seemed to have all disappeared at this moment.
Of course, they did not really disappear, but they were all crowded in the trench, with their heads lowered one by one. They seemed to be waiting for something. The large crossbows and trebuchets also stopped working, and the operators also squatted on the ground, holding their arms.
The head and posture are very strange.
The entire battlefield suddenly fell into silence, which was eerily quiet.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Qian couldn't help but ask when he saw the soldiers around him covering their ears.
"Two adults, brothers, you should do the same! The divine thunder is about to appear." Among the rear troops, the captain who was following the two men and their guards said to the two men.
Although Zhang Qian and Zhang Yu didn't believe it, when they saw all the soldiers acting like this, they felt something was wrong and quickly covered their ears. But among the guards behind them, some people disagreed.
"You're so afraid of thunder, but you're still an elite?" a guard behind Zhang Qian whispered.
Lieutenant Xiaoguo shook his head and said nothing.
Yi Lou Weiyang and Yang Qi, who were on the north city, saw the sudden tranquility on the battlefield and instinctively felt something was wrong. So they went to the top of the city gate and looked down, but found nothing worthy of special attention.
The results achieved by the Liaodong Army's archers were simply negligible. In such a large open area, nothing was left except for arrows.
"What's the smell? Did the right general smell it?"
Yilou Weiyang suddenly asked.
The smell of burning fuses has drifted to the tower, and the smell is a bit pungent.
"Strange smell, I don't know what it is..."
Yang Qibei sniffed. He also felt that the smell was very pungent, but it was not a smell he was familiar with. Faintly, he felt it smelled a bit like sulfur... sulfur?
Why is there sulfur?
When they were surprised, there was a sudden earth-shaking loud noise, and both of them were lifted into the air. Then darkness fell in front of them, and they knew nothing.
More than a hundred special thunderbolts exploded. Zhang Qian and Zhang Yu, not to mention those in the front, felt the ground beneath their feet shake. After a moment, dirt and debris fell to the ground in a patter.
The few people behind Zhang Qian who did not cover their ears exclaimed and felt their ears buzzing, as if a swarm of flies were flying around their ears.
"The reincarnation of the God of Thunder?" Zhang Qian opened his mouth wide and exclaimed.
"This is so awesome!" Zhang Yu also exclaimed.
The entire earth seemed to have been overturned. The Xiaoguo Army soldiers in the trench felt that the entire earth was shaking under their feet, and the falling dust covered them all. People further away could clearly see,
a dazzling fire
, lighting up the sky above the entire Liao Tunnel City. After the violent explosion, the entire city wall near the north gate collapsed, and the north gate completely disappeared. There was only a gap of dozens of feet wide, and the broken city wall formed a
