"God-" Rao is experienced in a hundred battles, Zhou Quji was still startled by the sight in front of him, and instinctively exclaimed and slowly retreated.

The Shuofang brothers, who were on guard duty with him, also moved backwards in unison, their shields instinctively raised diagonally upward, as if the splashes of earth and wood on the top of the city would fall on their heads.

"Sigh shh Many of the mounts in the Broken Leaf Army were frightened and struggled to escape. However, the soldiers had already dismounted in accordance with Zhang Qian's orders, and tightly pulled the reins in advance, no matter how hard the horse tried, it could not get out of the control of its master.

"One brigade, one team, report the results of the bombardment!" The only one who didn't feel any shock was Luo Huaizu. Seeing this person, he casually glanced at the head of Julan City, and then coldly issued a new order.

"Report, one bullet hit the enemy building, and one hit the city wall. The remaining five were missed, three fell into the city, one at the gate of the city, and one under the base of the wall. Report complete! Zhang Si'an shivered, put down the monoculars, and reported loudly.

"Report the counterweight of the two catapults that hit the enemy tower and the city wall!" Luo Huaizu glanced at him and continued to command. There is no emotion in the voice or movement.

"Report, it was the No. 1 catapult that hit the enemy building, with a counterweight of sixty-three and a half pounds!"

"Report, it was the No. 4 car that hit the city wall, with a counterweight of sixty-two pounds!"

Lu Dechuan and Che Ping raised their heads and reported loudly, their young faces full of excitement.

Luo Huaizu nodded at the two, and then began to issue orders like a cloud, "One brigade and one team, reload, counterweight sixty-two catties!" ”

"The first brigade and the second team, adjust the counterweight of all catapults to sixty-three and a half pounds, aim at the enemy building, and prepare to launch!"

"Two brigades and one team, adjust the counterweight of all catapults to sixty-three and a half pounds!"

"Second Brigade and Second Team, crossbow arrows are ready, beware of enemy dogs jumping off the wall!"

"All the three brigades, the fire dragon car is ready!"

……

"Yes!" "Yes!" "Understood!" The brothers in the teaching group responded one after another, and immediately completed the preparations as ordered. Luo Huaizu turned his gaze to the enemy tower in Julan City again, raised his right hand to hold the two days high, and quickly pinched his fingers with his left hand. No matter how you look at it, it looks mysterious and powerful.

It's so enjoyable! It's so much fun to fight like this! In his life, he has been a hero, a strategist, a killer, and a ....... However, there is no identity that is so enjoyable as being a general today!

In the past, I used to use a measuring scale to smash people's heads, what kind of ability is it? As it is today, with a slight wave of the measuring scale, the high city pool is instantly crumbling!

"The first brigade and the second team are ready!"

"The second brigade and the first team are ready."

"Second Brigade ......"

In the team around him, there were responses one after another. The well-trained brothers in the teaching corps move in an orderly manner, no matter how nervous or excited they are.

"One Brigade and Two Teams, Volley!" The measuring scale waved decisively, and Luo Huaizu's voice quickly spread to everyone's ears.

Seven more gunpowder bombs flew up, swept through the space of ninety paces, and smashed into Julan City. Two fell into the city, three hit the walls, and two hit the enemy tower.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" …… The explosions sounded one after another, and the tall and majestic enemy towers swayed, undulating, swaying left and right in the explosion, and then slowly collapsed like a mound of sand.

"Two brigades and one team, reduce the counterweight to sixty-two catties, prepare!" Luo Huaizu shook his head, spat on the ground, and then made decisive adjustments.

The brothers quickly shoveled some of the dirt from the weight basket and lowered the catapult's counterweight to the required standard. Luo Huaizu gritted his teeth and waved the weight scale, and ordered it to be launched. Immediately after, seven gunpowder bullets dragged their gray tail marks and quickly flew towards the wall below the enemy's tower.

Three missed, and four fell to the top of the wall. In an instant, the explosion sounded like the sky was shattering. On the city wall, the earth was splashing, the smoke was billowing out, and the frightened Shi Guo soldiers were scurrying around with their heads in their hands.

"There's gunpowder in here?" Zhou Quji's eyes cracked, and he quickly rushed to Lu Dechuan, risking a misunderstanding to check the gunpowder bullets that had been reloaded.

Something similar, Shuo Fangjun also got it from Zhang Qian. The name is also called Gunpowder Bullet, and the size is about the same as the one in front of you. However, Shuo Fangjun's gunpowder bullets were made of clay, and they were filled with added alcohol! And the one in front of me, and it is obviously cast from pig iron, I don't know what domineering things are inside, in order to blow it up more ruthlessly and more broken, the surface of the pig iron is obviously chiseled out of stripes!

"Captain, please don't interfere with the catapult launch!" Lu Dechuan unceremoniously leaned sideways, blocking Zhou Qujian from reaching out to the catapult's arm, "As for the things inside, I only know that the name is black powder, and I don't know anything else!" ”

"Black powder?" Zhou Qu shook his head, and retracted his arm.

Alcohol was given the name gunpowder by the Shenlong Emperor, but anyone who had been in contact with Zhang Qian for a long time would be affected by the latter, and privately called it alcohol. And black powder, as the name suggests, will certainly not be black alcohol!

Just when his heart was itching, not far away, Luo Huaizu's excited roar was already heard, "One brigade and one team, aim at the city wall under the enemy's building, prepare-

Suddenly, his voice paused, followed by a more agitated voice, "Stop! Stop it! Don't launch! The enemy army rushed out! The second brigade and the second team, crossbow arrows to block! Someone, pass the order to Captain Zhou and Captain Shi for me, and let the two of them restrain their teams and stand still!! ”

"Whoosh whoosh-" A row of bright crossbow arrows shot out from behind the dragon cart and shot at the city gate ninety paces away.

Zhou Qujian blushed and raised his head, and quickly retreated to his own formation, while looking at the situation on the battlefield.

I saw that the east gate of Kulan City was wide open, and hundreds of Shiguo soldiers rushed out in a hurry. Obviously, he planned to take advantage of the fact that the main force of the Tang army was stopped hundreds of steps away, and after rushing into the "iron wall" composed of fire dragon vehicles, he planned to forcibly destroy all the catapults.

It's pure death! The experienced Zhou Qujian immediately saw the result of the attack of the soldiers of the Shi Kingdom, and there was suddenly a little more pity in his eyes.

Sure enough, under the rapid blow of the rocking crossbow, the soldiers of the Shi Kingdom who rushed out of the city had already fallen in half before they could get close to the "iron wall". The rest of the soldiers immediately couldn't support it, turned around, and ran wildly towards the city gate. The soldiers of the teaching regiment holding crossbows calmly turned the handle, pulled the bowstring, loaded the crossbow arrows, and then aimed the arrows firmly at the backs of the Shi Guo soldiers.

"Whoosh whoosh—"

"Whoosh whoosh—"

"Whoosh whoosh—"

The loading speed of crossbow arrows was far inferior to that of the horn bow, but the brothers of the teaching group fired three rounds of crossbow arrows in a row, and the soldiers of the Shi Kingdom who rushed out finally retreated into the city of Kulan. As they came and went, there were no less than fifty corpses lying on their backs, blood gurgling into streams, glowing a blinding red in the sunlight.

"One brigade, one team, aim at the walls, salvo!" Luo Huaizu pursed his lips disdainfully, and then waved the measuring scale again.

Seven gunpowder shells smashed into the blood-stained city wall beneath the enemy's tower, and then exploded one after another at the head of the city and inside the city. Smoke billowed and flames loomed over the ruins of the enemy tower.

On the city wall, there are no longer human figures scurrying around. The four gates of the city, which were wide open, were not closed again. The failed counterattack just now seemed to have used up all the courage of the defenders. Next, they seem ready to resign themselves to fate.

"Stop!" Luo Huaizu saw the reaction of the enemy army in his eyes. Lifting the measuring scales again, he shouted, "The catapult stays in place, and the 1st Brigade of the Teaching Regiment is responsible for protection." The dragon cart was put away and advanced towards the city gate. Other teams, keep up with the dragon car! ”

"Yes!" Seeing the enemy army being beaten to the ground, the brothers of the teaching regiment were demoralized and agreed in unison to carry out the order. After a short time, the "iron wall" was re-separated into "wings". The dragon chariot was pushed by the brothers and slowly moved forward, approaching the gate of Kulan City step by step.

"Send an order to Captain Zhou and Captain Shi, and ask them to lead their troops to follow, just in case!" Luo Huaizu put away the measuring scales and commanded loudly. Immediately, from the pocket carried by the soldier, he took out a grenade and quietly pulled out a powder twist.

The two pro-soldiers agreed to run away, and ran separately towards Zhou Quji and Shi Jin. Another soldier cleverly pulled out a fire fold, ready to light the grenade at any time.

This preparation turned out to be purely superfluous. Before the fire dragon car arrived at the city gate, behind everyone, there was already a tidal wave of cheers. Immediately after, Zhang Gui rode a horse, galloped wildly, and from a distance of twenty steps, he waved the command flag vigorously towards Luo Huaizu: "Secretary Zhang, the enemy general has fled from the West Gate!" The town guard gave an order, and the teaching regiment stopped outside the east gate, packed up the ordnance, and cleaned up the battlefield. Captain Shi and Captain Zhou, each led their brothers, with Captain Zhou as the main general, to enter the city to seize the warehouse, the yamen, and the prison, suppress the petty gangsters, and restore order in the city! ”

After confirming that Luo Huaizu had responded, he quickly turned his mount and ran towards Zhou Quji and Shi Jin, repeating the same command loudly. "The town guard has an order......

"This is an escape? His grandmother's, since she has to run away sooner or later, what kind of energy was she tossing just now! Luo Huaizu didn't enjoy it at all, stopped and waved his arms in annoyance. All of them, stop! ”

"The enemy will abandon the city? How long has it been on guard? Zhou Quji also stopped, raised his eyes and looked around, feeling lost in his heart.

All around, a large number of soldiers of the Broken Leaf Army jumped on their mounts, bypassed Kulan City, and moved westward at high speed. It is clear that he was ordered to hunt down the enemy army. And the wide open gates in front of him and the constant cries from inside the city also clearly told him that the enemy army had abandoned the city and fled, and the city was in a state of loss of control.

"All of them!" Putting away his chaotic thoughts, turning his head, Zhou Qu hurriedly shouted to the brothers of Shuo Fangjun, "Follow me into the city!" Capture the yamen and warehouses. Along the way, they encountered robbers who took advantage of the fire to correct the law on the spot. ”

The appearance of gunpowder shells is bound to give the Tang army wings. He and his brothers didn't know how to use it, but they could learn it together. I believe that Zhang Zhenshou will not hide his secrets from everyone.

And the Broken Leaf Army, because of the haste in which the army was formed, the soldiers will definitely encounter some problems during and after the battle. He and his brothers were experienced enough to teach each other how to deal with it. As long as the other party is willing to learn, he promises that he will definitely be able to know everything and say everything!

This may be the purpose of Chief Zhang Renyuan's dispatch of the brothers to the Western Regions. Suddenly, a wave of realization surged in Zhou Quji's heart, and immediately, a smile was written all over his face.
