82_82388 "General Qiu Ping, you immediately take people to the school field, transport all the catapults that have been made to the city wall, and greet them with catapults as soon as the Xia army arrives." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Gu Haotian continued to explain to Qiu Ping on the side.

"The last general commands!" Qiu Ping was also overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed down to receive the order.

"General Cheng Qi, no matter what method you use, General Ben will immediately lead people to buy all the cattle, horses, donkeys, and mules of the people in the city, and gather them at the gate of the city after they are purchased." Gu Haotian saw Cheng Qi looking at him with blank eyes, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and smiled at Cheng Qi.

"No!" Cheng Qi's face turned bitter when he heard this, Qiu Ping and Wu Meng had good errands, but Gu Haotian asked him to collect these livestock.

"Grandpa Miao!"

"Ugh! The old slave is here! If there is anything to be done by the old slave, the second son commands! The old seedling, who had been watching silently from the side, saw that the point was about to hit his head, and hurriedly walked a few steps to Gu Haotian and bowed down and smiled.

"Grandpa Miao, you take Heilongwei to move out all the soil bombs in the warehouse in my courtyard, allocate 7,100 earth bombs to Cheng, and transport the rest of the earth bombs to the city tower, and as soon as the Xia army of the Great Xia Kingdom arrives at the city, they will use trebuchets to drop earth bombs under the city." Gu Haotian looked at Lao Miaotou and smiled.

"No! The old slave will do it immediately! The old miaotou trembled in his heart, swallowed fiercely and spat in response.

"Ahem! ... Haotian, why did you ask Cheng Qi to collect livestock? Gu Baoyi looked at Gu Haotian suspiciously, and the rest of the people looked at Gu Haotian.

"After the Xia army tried the power of the earth bomb, they must have retreated backwards, and after they escaped the range of the catapult, they tied the earth bomb to the livestock and let them make a suicide attack to pursue the Xia army." Gu Haotian saw that everyone was full of confusion, so he patiently explained to everyone.

Gu Baoyi and the others felt a chill in their hearts, and they shuddered at the thought of the earth bomb bursting in the crowd of the Xia army, looking at Gu Haotian's bright smile in their eyes was no different from the devil's smile!

The more than 400,000 troops of the Great Xia Empire marched towards Xingyuan City, after the two battles of Huangshiling, the Xia army suffered heavy losses, and the army was less than 500,000, if it wasn't for the Black Dragon Army stationed in the west to take away 200,000, Kong Zhiyuan would not have the courage to attack Xingyuan City.

Because of the ladders and other equipment used for siege, the march of the army was very slow, and it was not until evening that they came to the foot of the willow forest slope more than 20 miles away from Xingyuan City.

"Let the army advance quickly, set up camp in Liulinpo tonight, and start attacking the city early tomorrow morning!" Kong Zhiyuan pointed to the willow forest slope in the distance, rushing to the left and right of the general.

"General, there are only more than 100,000 Yu troops guarding Satellite Edge City, and my 400,000 lions in Daxia can take Xingyuan City without much effort, please give the general 100,000 soldiers and horses to the last general, and after the last general takes Xingyuan City, welcome the army into the city and set up camp!" A general arrogantly asked.

"Humph! The commander of the Yu army is like a god, and his brother Gu Haotian is insidious and cunning, and is good at scheming. Our army has traveled more than 100 miles and marched more than 100 miles, and it is already a tired division, and it is not suitable to attack the city now. Kong Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows, glared at the general and snorted coldly, after suffering two big losses, Kong Zhiyuan was extremely jealous of Gu Haotian, and he was careful everywhere, step by step, and did not dare to be careless.

"No!" Although the general didn't think so, he didn't dare to disobey Kong Zhiyuan's order.

"Boom! ... Knock knock! ...”

"Ahh ...”

Before Kong Zhiyuan's voice fell, there was a sudden change in front of him, and there was a shocking explosion in front of him, a huge roar was endless, and the earth was trembling, sparks were flying, earth and rocks were flying, thick smoke was billowing, dust was flying, and a radius of hundreds of meters was covered with smoke and dust. The cries of pain, the howls of misery, and the screams of exclamation were mixed with the neighing of the horses, and the army was unstable and chaotic.

More than 400,000 troops were stunned by this incident, what is the situation? Is the end of the world coming? Even Kong Zhiyuan, the commander of the three armies, was stunned by the situation in front of him, and after a long time of roaring, Kong Zhiyuan reacted, dismounted and rushed straight to the scene of the incident.

I saw that the scene was in a mess, and within a radius of 100 meters were all deep pits that had been blown out, and there were stumps everywhere, and the shredded flesh was flying everywhere, which was unbearable to see, and the painful howls of the injured could be seen everywhere.

"What the hell is going on? ... What's going on? ”

Looking at the scene full of desolation, Kong Zhiyuan was shocked and angry, and looked at the left and right generals with pale faces and asked questions.

The generals had long been shocked by the situation at the scene, although they had killed countless people on the battlefield, but it was the first time they had seen such a strange scene, and they all shook their heads blankly when they saw Kong Zhiyuan asking.

"Big... General, this... It's not human! One of the generals replied in a trembling voice.

"Humph! This must be an ambush set up by the Yu army in order to prevent our army from attacking the city, ordering the army to retreat five miles back and camp, and send a fortification battalion to repair the damaged road, and attack Xingyuan City early tomorrow morning to avenge today's revenge! After Kong Zhiyuan swallowed and spat hard, he raised his eyes and looked around, seeing that the generals and hundreds of thousands of troops were full of horror, if it continued like this, the army would definitely be unstable, Kong Zhiyuan calmed down and shouted loudly.

Hundreds of thousands of panicked Xia Jun slowly quieted down after hearing Kong Zhiyuan's words, dozens of generals hurriedly went to clean up the army, and after a while, they reorganized their formation, the rear team changed to the front team and retreated to the way they came, and the wounded were also taken away by the army.

"Young marshal, it's done! Hahaha! The major general's earth bomb was so powerful that we almost fainted from the sound of the explosion as soon as we ran out of the twist, and we felt that the sky was spinning and the earth was shaking, if it wasn't for the fear of being discovered by the Xia army, I really wanted to see the movements of the Xia army. After Wu Meng led people into the city, he climbed directly onto the city wall, and shouted excitedly as soon as he arrived at the city wall.

"Good! General Wu Meng has worked hard, so he will go back to rest first, and after this battle, the commander will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds. Gu Baoyi smiled heartily.

"Young marshal, the Xia army will definitely not come to attack the city tonight, can you let the last general plant an earth bomb on the way to come, and give them a fatal blow when the Xia army comes tomorrow." Wu Meng asked excitedly.

"No, after Xia Jun suffered a big loss today, he will definitely be cautious everywhere, and it is impossible for him to suffer this kind of loss a second time with the wisdom of Kong Zhiyuan." Before Gu Baoyi could express his position, Gu Haotian on the side hurriedly interjected.

Everyone nodded when they heard this, and then Gu Baoyi beckoned everyone to go back to rest and wait for tomorrow's battle.

In the hotel of Ishihara City, Gongye Xinghui and Lu Ze were playing against each other, and Xia Cheng was watching with relish on the side, and at this moment, Gongye Bowen ran in in a panic.

"Big brother, Star City is going to be lost, and you still have the heart to play chess." Gongye Xinghui looked at the three of them and said angrily.

"What's going on?" Gongye Xinghui and the three of them were shocked when they heard this, and asked anxiously.

"According to the Tanmalai report, the Great Xia Empire has gathered more than 400,000 soldiers and horses to go to Xingyuan City, and has already set up camp twenty miles away from Xingyuan City." Gongye Wenbo said worriedly.

"What is the case?" Gongye Xinghui and Lu Ze jumped up from their couches when they heard this.

"Such a big thing happened, why didn't I get the Gu... General Zhengxi's request for help! Even Admiral Qi didn't inform us, the military situation is so urgent, as usual, Admiral Qi should come to us as soon as possible to discuss the strategy of defending against the enemy. Xia Cheng looked at the trio with a puzzled face.

"Alas! General Zhengxi sent most of the soldiers and horses stationed in Xingyuan City to the southern wilderness, and there were only more than 100,000 people left, who could withstand the 400,000 Xia army. Gongye Xinghui sighed.

"What should we do? You can't just watch it! Lu Ze looked at the three of them anxiously and asked.

"Hey! In the past, a few of us hated Gu Ershao the most, but after this incident, I found out that Gu Ershao is actually a person of temperament, not only has a life-saving grace for a few of us, but also treats us with heart and lungs, and now he is in danger, what do we have to rescue him, if it really doesn't work, I will send 10,000 soldiers from my Prime Minister's Mansion to rescue Gu Ershao and General Zhengxi before the Xia army attacks the city. Xia Cheng looked at the three of them and sighed.

Lu Ze and the three of them nodded silently when they heard this, and Gongye Xinghui nodded: "What Xia Gongzi said is right, we and Gu Ershao are not familiar with each other, although what he did before was really hateful, I really want to peel him and cramp to relieve the hatred in my heart." However, in the face of the great right and wrong, Gu Ershao is righteous enough to be a man, and now that he is in trouble, if we don't come to the rescue, how will we still be in Kyoto City in the future? ”

"To tell you the truth, when General Zhengxi sent us to garrison Ishihara Castle, I thought he asked us to be cannon fodder! I didn't expect that when Star Edge City was so critical, he didn't transfer us to meet the enemy, and now I think about it, it's really ashamed! I am jealous of the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Gongye Bowen sighed with a wry smile.

"Since we all agreed to send troops to the aid of Xingyuan City, let's send troops as soon as possible and rush to Xingyuan City before the Xia army besieges the city." Gongye Xinghui looked at the three people.

"There is no need to say hello to Admiral Qi in this matter, lest he think that our brother has escaped from the battle!" Xia Cheng asked.

"The situation is urgent, and there is no time to discuss it with him, so let's send someone to inform him after we leave." Gongye Xinghui nodded to Xia Cheng and said.

"Good! In that case, let's set off immediately and strive to get to Star Edge City before dawn! Lu Ze got up and walked out, and the other three hurriedly followed.

If Gu Haotian could know that his calculations could have such an effect, I'm afraid even he would be surprised! Will he be moved by the righteousness of a few buddies who are gentlemen!.
