The fighting in the city did not last long. Wang Yu, who was watching the battle from behind, was originally worried that the Baibo army would set fire to it after the victory, but he did not know whether it was because he had confiscated all the fire starters or because the Baibo army did not have this
Habit. In short, although the killings in the city were brutal, there was never a big plume of smoke rising.
Wang Yu felt relieved, turned around and stretched out his hand, saying: "General Yang, the situation has been decided, let's go to the city and have a look together?"
"Uh, okay..." Yang Feng had been sitting on the altar blankly, and responded blankly. When he hesitantly stretched out his hand, he caught a glimpse of a few gray-headed old soldiers under the altar. His heart moved and he declined politely:
"It's better for you to enter the city first. My legs are very sore and numb, and I can't walk for a while. It's better to wait for a while."
"That's fine." Wang Yu nodded and went into the city on his own. His evaluation of Yang Feng was a little higher. He was still very thoughtful.
When Wang Yu walked away, Yang Feng jumped up from the ground like a carp, got off the altar in a few steps, rushed in front of the old soldiers, and shocked the old soldiers.
"What happened in the tunnel? What did you do? How did the city wall collapse?" Yang Feng didn't care whether the other party was surprised or not, and asked all the questions he had been holding back for a long time.
Because it was too uncomfortable to hold it in for too long, after asking the question, he actually felt a sense of relief as if he had been rescued from drowning.
"Huh? Yang Shuai..." The old pawn replied subconsciously: "Well, it's the little heavenly master's spell, the wind and fire rotate..."
"Of course I know it's magic!" Yang Feng said in a depressed tone: "Hey, that's not what I'm asking you. What did he do in the tunnel before doing the magic? Let's start from the beginning, the more detailed the better!"
He didn't want to be regarded as a jealous person at this moment. After this battle, Wang Yu's prestige in the Baibo Army was probably comparable to that of the Zhang Jiao brothers. Even Qu Shuai would not be jealous of such a person.
Eat the good fruit.
Yang Feng just wanted to get the truth about the spell by making some insinuations. With such a powerful spell in front of him, wouldn't it be a waste of resources if he didn't try to learn it? Even if he can't learn everything, just learn a little bit.
These old soldiers were specially left by Wang Yu to help with auxiliary work. Until the last moment, they were still in the tunnel. If there is anyone who knows this spell best except Wang Yu, it must be these people.
.
"Before the method? As you all know, the Little Heavenly Master asked people to dig a tunnel. He said it didn't need to be too wide, and it could accommodate three or five people at the same time... When he dug to the bottom of the wall, he didn't ask people to dig too deep.
He just dug a few long gaps under the wall foundation, and then he said he wanted to find some wooden boxes. We didn't have time to do it, so we dug a few coffins. At that time, his face looked a little strange, but he didn't say anything.
…”
The old pawn's narrative was a bit messy and trivial, but Yang Feng did not feel impatient. Years of experience told him that the truth is often hidden in the details.
"In other words, the magic circle is set up under the foundation of the wall, and a wooden box is used... Well, wood makes fire, that's true, but fire makes earth, where does this wind come from? Fire and earth make each other, and fire is
How did you break through the city wall? It’s really strange. Wait a minute and take note of it..."
Yang Feng's study attitude was very serious. Several veterans looked at each other with a hint of contempt in their eyes. Want to learn the magic of the Little Heavenly Master? Don't even look at your own qualifications? After being a Qu Commander for so many years,
If you haven't learned anything yet, how can you succeed by imitating a cat and imitating a tiger?
Those who can learn immortal magic are destined to be favored by God. Just like the great teachers of the past, how can anyone be able to imitate them?
After thinking about the previous content again and again, whether he could understand it or not, he remembered it all in his mind. Yang Feng asked again: "What next?"
"Then, I left a few ignition leads, which were soaked in oil and were more than ten feet long... Finally, the section of tunnel that turned horizontally under the city wall was sealed with bricks and stones, and we were done. What follows is today.
In the morning, as soon as I heard the signal from the Little Heavenly Master, I immediately lit the fire..."
The old pawn suddenly slapped his head and smiled proudly at his companions: "Well, by the way, the little Heavenly Master also asked people to dig a hiding hole in advance and told us to get in immediately after lighting the fire and use thick wooden boards to support it.
The entrance of the cave... Lao Wang and the others were not convinced at first and wanted to run out, but I forced them in. What was the result? The little Heavenly Master's spells are really powerful, right?"
"Isn't that right? Brother Zhang saved everyone's lives this time." The other people also had no words to praise, and in their admiration, there was some lingering fear.
Yang Feng could understand that the fireworks that later erupted from the cave mouth had already explained everything. A few hundred steps away, the aftermath was so powerful. What other end could the person or thing who bore the brunt of it have besides being shattered into pieces? Isn't Yuncheng's city wall?
Is that proof?
Although he hasn't checked it in detail yet, Yang Feng can make a rough estimate by looking at it from a distance.
Yuncheng's city wall is a bit thicker than Baibo's wall, more than three feet! And the materials are different. Baibo's wall is made of earth, and its strength is much worse than Yuncheng's masonry wall. It can blast such a wall
How much power does it take to go to heaven? Apart from magic, there is really no other way to explain it.
"The problem may be...what's in that wooden box." After thinking about it for a while, Yang Feng came to a conclusion.
The old soldiers all shook their heads: "Nothing special, just the things we usually use to make talisman water, salt, salt, sulfur, etc., very common..."
"Nothing else?" Yang Feng was also puzzled.
These things are indeed very common. Salt, salt, and sulfur are both fire starters. They must be used when opening an altar to perform rituals. In addition, salt and salt are also one of the main raw materials of Fu Shui. If conditions permit, the Yellow Turban Army in various places will always have these things in the army.
.
Hedong, Bingzhou, Yong, and Liangdu are rich in this product. The Baibo army took advantage of the geographical convenience and had particularly sufficient reserves.
Wang Yu used them all this time. It seems that the wind and fire technique is indeed related to these fire-drawing objects, but this is also a normal phenomenon. Even the three brothers of the great sages and good teachers still need some media when doing it, and
It's not like summoning spells out of thin air.
"What else? It's hard to say." The old soldier surnamed Zhang shook his head seriously but refused to speak. Yang Feng understood it as soon as he saw it, and immediately waved his hand and said: "If you know anything, just tell me quickly. When you come back,
When your family members move here, I will allow your family to choose one hundred acres of land first."
"Thank you Yang Shuai!" The old soldier surnamed Zhang was overjoyed, but several others shouted that they would not comply. Yang Feng successively promised more than 100 acres of paddy fields, and everyone stopped.
When Wang Yu first recruited people, he made it clear that those who were not afraid of death would be heavily compensated if they really died in the tunnel. Now several people have come out unscathed, but Wang Yu has entered the city. They don't know about the pen.
I was worried about whether I could cash out the heavy reward, but I didn't expect that selling information could be so profitable.
Several people were thinking in their minds that after this great victory, the Wei family's hometown from Yuncheng to Yongji would be occupied, so that the army would have a place to recuperate, and they would no longer have to live a precarious life.
At my age, there is no need to continue to make a living in the army and farm some fields. I can tell others about my experiences these days in my free time. I think my life will be very interesting, right?
"There must be other things inside the coffin." The old soldier surnamed Zhang was indeed a thoughtful person. He noticed many details that others did not notice: "The salt, salt, and sulfur sent into the Xiaotianshi's military tent totaled several hundred kilograms. Waiting for him
After packing the boxes and carrying them out, they had turned into ten coffins, each weighing a hundred or ten kilograms. This weight..."
"Nearly doubled!" Yang Feng's eyes flashed. It was obvious that something else was mixed in. He pinched his chin and fell into deep thought: "What exactly was mixed in?"
"Yang Shuai, don't blame me for talking too much." The old soldier surnamed Zhang advised earnestly.
"This lineage inheritance is not ordinary. How can the little heavenly master's secret be revealed to others at will? Besides, this kind of thing also depends on chance and qualifications. Back then, the great sage master accepted so many disciples, and finally a few passed on the true
The secret? None! Otherwise, brothers from all over the world have experienced so many dangers over the years, how could the Yellow Turban Warriors not reappear until today?"
"It makes sense." Yang Feng felt relieved, and he found that he was indeed obsessed with something.
Even great masters don't understand such a spell. How could I learn it in one go? Qualification is the most rare thing to come by, so I still flatter Zhu Shijun and capture the remaining four fortresses of the Wei family.
Say it again.
Turning to look at the old soldier surnamed Zhang, Yang Feng said in a deep voice: "You are good. You will be a counselor in a certain army in the future. Now, you go and gather people to collect salt, salt, and sulfur. The more the better, do you understand?"
"
The status of the Yellow Turban Army brings many helplessness, and talent is a major constraint.
When the Wei family wants to find staff, as long as the news gets out, famous people from the local area or from other places will flock to them and break down the threshold. But Yang Feng does not have this kind of treatment. The famous people will definitely not get it.
Most of them just want to find a few people who are relatively flexible among the ranks.
"Here!" The old soldier was overjoyed and quickly agreed. Then he grabbed a few companions and began to assign tasks.
Although Yuncheng is down, the Wei family still has four large forts and more than ten small forts. Although the little heavenly master is unparalleled in his power, it is difficult for him to defend his family with a tenacious resistance. He still needs to be fully prepared to cast spells.
Yang Feng, who was disappointed to see that his new subordinates were able to do things well and organized, was relieved. Looking around, he felt bursts of pride in his heart. With this fertile land between the two rivers, the Baibo Army's
The news will spread all over the world, and the number of official posts awarded by the imperial court will definitely not be small.
Of course, before that, the imperial envoy, Master Zhu Xiaotian, must be well served!
Yang Feng made up his mind not to find out the truth, but to hide the secret in his heart and pretend that nothing had happened. With this in mind, he walked quickly towards the city.
…
"The power of primitive black gunpowder is indeed very average." Standing in front of the gap in the city wall, Wang Yu shook his head: "Nearly a thousand kilograms of gunpowder was used, but only such a small hole was made. If the instigation work had not been done well, it would have been so pretentious.
It’s really hard to say whether we will win or lose.”
Saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal were stuffed into the coffin by Wang Yu. Of course, the only thing used for blasting was black powder.
The first two materials have been widely used in this era, and charcoal is even more common. After studying the siege tactics that the Yellow Turban Army was capable of, they used hole attack mode and carried out underground blasting to attack Yuncheng.
The only option is also the most feasible strategy.
Now it seems that the effect is very average. If more advanced explosives were used, half of the city wall might collapse based on the layout at the time.
Of course, the effect was insufficient. In addition to the limited power of gunpowder, the strength of the city wall may also be one of the main reasons. These factors must be taken into consideration next time.
However, the overall effect is still good. Wang Yu nodded. Even if this move cannot cause decisive damage to the city wall, it can still have a considerable effect on the morale of both sides. Basically, it is very good.
Wang Yu is not planning to promote gunpowder. The basic technology of this era is not mature enough. It will take a long time from promotion to application. By the time craftsmen can create primitive muskets, it will be the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse.
Since it is not very helpful in improving technology and productivity, it is better to keep it in hand and use it as a secret weapon for siege at critical moments.
After confirming the effect, Wang Yu walked leisurely towards the city without further delay. The battle was over and now it was time to review the results.
I haven’t saved the manuscript, so the first chapter is relatively late. Please forgive me. I won’t break out today because the plot is relatively not that urgent. When the plot reaches its climax in two days, Xiaoyu will work harder.
In addition, thank you for your support. Yesterday, I got several more monthly tickets and many friends gave me rewards. Xiaoyu was very touched. The hard work is worth it. Xiaoyu will continue to work hard! (To be continued.
