With the sound of a piercing creak, the four iron gates of Yijing City opened one after another, and countless red-eyed soldiers of Yuan Shao's army swarmed into the city like a tide. Like most city breakers in history, the most important thing on the minds of Yuan Shaojun's soldiers at the moment is how to snatch the spoils of war and how to kill the losers. And under the pretext of "divine protection", this desire is infinitely magnified, until human nature and morality are trampled without a trace.

The wailing rout was slashed into meat sauce, and the weeping women were dragged into dark corners with bloodied hands. More Yuan Shao's soldiers set fire to the inner city while licking their dry lips against the backdrop of the firelight. Because as early as the beginning of the siege of Yijing City, Yuan Shao had already released rumors that Gongsun Zhan had hidden a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, wine and beauties in the inner city of Yijing, and anyone who invaded the inner city could loot these riches on their own. And now is the time to deliver on that promise.

And just when Yuan Shaojun turned into a beast under the infection of blood-colored desire, a white horse suddenly flashed out from the direction of the north gate where the flames were rolling. A junior colonel Yuan Shaojun was pierced into a blood gourd by a spear in front of him. Seeing this, the pawns on the side shouted and rushed forward to stop the breakthrough of the white horse generals. It's just that a dry shrimp soldier and crab will be able to stop the dragon swimming across the sea, under a burst of blood mist, one person and one horse will be like a white dragon exploring the sea from the north gate to the east gate to kill a bloody road.

This kind of white horse warrior is none other than Zhao Yun, who is the protector of the city. In order to protect the young baby, Zhao Yun deliberately tied the swaddling clothes tightly to his chest at this moment, and did not entangle with Yuan Shaojun who blocked him along the way. Fortunately, at present, most of Yuan Shaojun's soldiers are full of thoughts about attacking the inner city to grab money, food, and robbery. In the chaos, there were not many enemy troops who came to pursue Zhao Yun.

No, it didn't take long for Zhao Yun to ride out of the east gate. It's just that as soon as he walked out of the gate of Yijing City, Zhao Yun, who was carrying a baby, was a little directionless. Because he really couldn't think of who to go to with Gongsun Chan for a while? Speaking of which, although Gongsun Chan is a well-known prince in the north, he has many enemies in Youzhou. Most of the families in Youzhou had enemies with Gongsun Zhan because he had killed Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou who was born in the Han clan. In addition, because Liu Yu was also quite sympathetic to the tribes in Youzhou during his lifetime, the Wuhuan, Xianbei and other tribes have always supported Liu Yu's remnants against Gongsun Zhan. In the previous battle of Baoqiu, the king of Wuhuan Qiao also led his tribesmen and horses, together with more than 7,000 Xianbei cavalry, to help Yuan Shao. Therefore, it is almost impossible to find a force in Youzhou to accept Gongsun Zhan's orphans. As for Gongsun Zhan's so-called sworn worship, the divination master Liu Weitai, the peddler Li Yizi, and Jia Renle He Dang are just some low-status flatterers. Putting the small in the hands of such people is undoubtedly sending sheep into the mouth of the tiger.

"Why don't you go to vote for Liu Yuanjun?" Zhao Yun's mind suddenly appeared Liu Bei's figure. Seven years ago, in the Battle of Jieqiao, Liu Bei, together with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, listened to orders under Gongsun Zhan's tent as guest generals. Although Zhao Yun was only fifteen or sixteen years old at that time, he had already been incorporated into the White Horse Congyi by Gongsun Zhan. The Battle of Jieqiao can be regarded as Zhao Yun's first battle, although this battle ended in the defeat of Gongsun Zhan. But at that time, Liu Bei's corporal Lixian, as well as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's martial arts and bravery, all left a deep impression on Zhao Yun. What's more, Liu Bei later served as the minister of the plains with the support of Gongsun Zhan. With Liu Bei's quality of a humble gentleman, he will not fail to repay Gongsun Zhan's kindness, let alone sell his weak baby to Yuan Shao and others.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun immediately pulled the reins, turned around and galloped towards the south. But before he could run far, a group of cavalry suddenly appeared from the southwest direction and rushed towards him. Zhao Yun immediately jumped on his horse and raised his spear to meet the battle, but he didn't want to lead the enemy army to suddenly hold on to the reins and turn the horse's head, and deftly dodged Zhao Yun's fatal blow, as if this person had become one with the war horse. Such riding skills couldn't help but surprise Zhao Yun, and more enemy horses had already chased after him.

The two cold lights clashed, and the spear of the enemy rider swept through Zhao Yun's armor and stabbed into the air, while Zhao Yun's spear bit the opponent's throat like a silver snake. It is undeniable that the riding skills of these cavalrymen are far superior to those of ordinary Yuan Shaojun, and they can even be said to be on par with the white horses of the year, but in terms of horse fighting skills, they are still far from Zhao Yun. There was a crisp thud, and Zhao Yun's spear pierced through the face door of the second enemy horseman. When the tip of the spear pierced the back of his head, Zhao Yun decisively abandoned the spear and drew the long sword instead. But when the sword fell, the head of the third enemy rider flew out in response, pulling out a long blood light in mid-air.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, with a rapid sound, several arrows rushed towards Zhao Yun. It turned out that the other party saw that he couldn't bargain on the gun stick, so he even changed to a bow and arrows and fired indiscriminately. The speed of the alternation of weapons made Zhao Yun staggered. Because Zhao Yun is still responsible for protecting the baby's breakthrough at the moment. In order to prevent the arrows from hurting the baby in his arms, Zhao Yun cut off two arrows with his backhand, and then ignored the arrows in the sky, taking advantage of the gap when no one around him stopped him, turned around and ran away in another direction.

Seeing that Zhao Yun intended to escape, the enemy rider immediately slapped his horse and chased after him. Fortunately, Zhao Yun's war horse was the good horse of Gongsun Zhan brought out by Guan Jing from the inner city. Its speed is not comparable to that of ordinary war horses. Therefore, it didn't take long for Zhao Yun to distance himself from the pursuers, so that the opponent's arrows could only stare at Zhao Yun's back.

However, just when Zhao Yun thought that he could get rid of the pursuit, he suddenly felt that his body suddenly sank, followed by the long hiss of the white horse that stepped down, and threw Zhao Yun out with the baby in his arms. Zhao Yun, who was thrown, protected the baby and turned over like a big fish, jumped on the ground and rolled twice. It's just that before Zhao Yun could get up, a group of soldiers and horses suddenly poured out around him, and the long hook lassoe hooked him to the ground and tied him firmly. Naturally, the baby in her arms was also taken by the soldiers.

It turned out that the previous team of soldiers and horses was not simply chasing Zhao Yun, but chasing and intercepting Zhao Yun all the way into a ravine. I don't know who has already set up several tripping blocks here. Zhao Yun, who only wanted to break through with the baby, noticed that this was a trap, and as soon as he ran into the ravine, he was tripped by the tripping rope handed to him. As the so-called tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, Zhao Yun, who had no war horse and had to take care of the baby, was the opponent of this group of ambush soldiers.

At this moment, Zhao Yun couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw Gongsun Zhan's young son being taken away. But before he could shout not to hurt the child, a boy about eighteen or nineteen years old had already walked out of the crowd. I saw that the young man first looked Zhao Yun up and down, and then clumsily took the baby handed by the soldier and took a look, and his dark face couldn't help but show a smug smile humming, such a big harvest is really worthy of the many secret sentinels laid by Pang outside the city. ”

Cai Ji stood on the tower and looked down at the streets stained red by blood and desire. From time to time, the cries in her ears seemed to be an accusation of her crimes. Because it was her gunpowder that blew up the city wall and broke the courage of Gongsun Zhan's army, which made the people of Yijing City fall into such purgatory now. But another voice is also calmly reminding Cai Ji that Yi Jingcheng will be conquered sooner or later, and this scene will happen sooner or later. The difference is only that the city was besieged and destroyed in the fourth year of Jian'an (199), as recorded in the history books, or it was frightened by a blasting like now. What's more, even if the positions of the offensive and defensive sides are reversed, the same thing will still happen. is the so-called unrighteous war in the Spring and Autumn Period, whether it is Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, or even she Cai Ji is the mastermind of this disaster. As long as the war does not subside, any compassion is just crocodile tears.

According to the original historical process, Yuan Shao began to besiege Yijing City in the first year of Jian'an (196), and did not break the city until the fourth year of Jian'an (199). And Gongsun Zhan, knowing that he was going to be defeated, killed all the family members in the inner city, and then raised fire to harm himself. It lasted a total of three years, and it can be said to be the longest siege in the history of the Three Kingdoms. At this moment, because of the influence of Cai Ji, this protracted siege finally came to an end in March of the third year of Jian'an (198). It ended more than a full year earlier than the original history.

It can be said that the capture of Yijing City with gunpowder was the historical event that changed the most after Cai Ji crossed the late Han Dynasty. First of all, Yuan Shao had a year more to pacify Youzhou than the original history, which also meant that he could go south to attack Cao Cao a year earlier. Furthermore, the use of gunpowder allowed Yuan Shao to break through the strong walls of Yijing City at the least cost, so that he could free up more soldiers, horses, grain and grass to chase the Central Plains. Because according to the original history, Yuan Shao would have to pay at least tens of thousands of dead and wounded and tens of thousands of soldiers in the siege of the city in the following year. In addition, another qualitative change is that Yuan Shao's ambition and confidence have swelled faster than the original history. This can be seen from the fact that he will stay by Ji's side. In an age when witchcraft is rampant, there is no stronger desire to usurp the throne than to have the blessing of the gods.

In order to let Yuan Shao establish himself as emperor, he helped him get rid of the quagmire of the Battle of Yijing. - Even now, Cai Ji himself is not sure whether it is wise to do so. But as a member of the princes' struggle for hegemony, Cai Ji must not be deterred by the uncertainty of the future. After all, the difference between a wise man and a fool is only victory or not.

"I never thought that the lord would use spells to conquer Yijing City."

What interrupted Cai Ji's thoughts was Jia Xu, who ran up to the city at some point, the old man showed people in a gray robe as usual, but it was difficult to hide the uneasiness between his eyebrows. Obviously, the previous explosion had a big impact on Jia Xu. After all, Cai Ji didn't tell too many people about the blasting in advance.

But now the north gate is full of Cai Ji's people, and Cai Ji doesn't mind telling Jia Xu the truth, so she turned around and pointed to the big hole under the city wall and said frankly, "It's not a technique to conquer Yi Jing, but a technique." ”

"Technology?" Jia Xu looked at Cai Ji puzzled. The girl in front of him had given him many surprises, but none of them were more shocking than today. In short, Cai Ji seems to have endless secrets on his body, which make Jia Xu feel elusive again and again.

"Just like the ancients of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period used copper swords, and now people use iron swords. That's technology. Cai Ji made an analogy.

Jia Xu seemed to accept this easy-to-understand explanation, but he then frowned again and asked, "In this way, won't there be no more impregnable cities in the world in the future?" Why did the lord dedicate this weapon to Yuan Shao? ”

Facing Jia Xu's questioning, Cai Ji casually picked up half of the iron blade and said to himself, "Although the iron sword is sharp, it is very easy to rust. Technology is not a spell, it will eventually have its weaknesses. Therefore, not every city can apply this method as much as Yijing City. ”

Indeed, blasting walls with gunpowder had a number of limitations. For example, a city surrounded by a moat like Runan Castle would not have been able to dig tunnels through guò to bury explosives. And once the steps of the blasting are known, the defenders of the city can bury a large vat under the wall to listen to whether anyone is digging a tunnel. Even after the same technique is used too much, when the defenders are used to exploding, or when they encounter the defenders with strong willpower, they will not be able to attack the city with just one opening. After all, gunpowder was invented in history, and the city wall has not been turned into tofu scum for thousands of years. On the contrary, the military application of gunpowder has repeatedly promoted the development of human city-building technology to a higher level.

But Jia Xu didn't know the defects of gunpowder blasting through the city wall, he only saw Cai Ji use a secret technique to tear a hole in the towering and thick wall of Yijing City. There was only Cai Ji's family in the world who knew this kind of secret technique, but now she transferred this secret technique to Yuan Shao. With Yuan Shao's strength to obtain such a secret technique, as a strategist with the world in mind, Jia Xu knew very well what it meant. Therefore, even if Cai Ji said that the secret technique is not applicable to every city, Jia Xu still retorted without stopping, "My lord, Yuan Shao doesn't have to use this method every time he attacks a city. He only needs to choose one or two cities to make an example of chickens and monkeys, which is enough to make the princes of the world frightened. In addition, did the lord ever think that if one day Yuan Shao attacked the city under the lord's rule in this way, how would the lord deal with it? ”

"Wen He is not worried, this mansion has its own magic method to deal with this technique." Cai Ji waved his hand to signal that Jia Xu didn't have to mind too much about the power of gunpowder. In fact, for the time being, Yuan Shao has not yet mastered the secret of gunpowder. Although Yu Ji's so-called "Heaven Collapses and Cracks" technique is a thing, he should not reveal the secret to Yuan Shao lightly from the position of a divine stick. Of course, there is no impermeable wall in this world, and the secret of gunpowder will one day be applied to the battlefield by Yuan Shao and even by the other party. Therefore, Cai Ji is ready to be attacked by gunpowder one day. Even if the situation required it, Cai Ji didn't mind revealing the secret to Cao Cao or more people. After all, the true power of gunpowder lies in how it is applied, and there is no one in the world who knows how to apply it better than Cai Ji himself.

It's just that compared to the confident Cai Ji, Jia Xu still pressed step by step to ask, even if the lord has a way to deal with it. But since the lord has mastered the secret art of dealing with such secrets, why don't he keep it for his own use? ”

"After the bronze sword there is the iron sword, and after the iron sword there is the steel sword. The point of technology is to constantly innovate. Cai Ji said, turned his head and gave Jia Xu a confident smile, "An immature technology is not worth hiding in this mansion. What the government wants is to be imitated all the time and never surpassed. ”
