Although they already knew some things, they were still surprised, in their opinion, they were just a gesture, but the people would give them so much help, they were really a little frightened.

Le Zheng and they sang all the way to Chencang, and there was no news from Qianyang's side, because there was no gap in the siege this time, and it was completely besieged! How could they sneak out and fight with the defenders in front of them, so Qianyang didn't have any news at all, and thought that all the troops of the Kun Yu Kingdom were surrounded here.

Let's talk about the fledgling Longzhou Assassin and the Governor.

The scouts released by Chen Cang also probed the news back, so as soon as the two arrived, the old general immediately tied them up and beheaded them to show the public, although they played a role in deterring, but as Kun Yuguo got closer and closer, more and more good news about Kun Yuguo's army came over.

On that side is light and beautiful, on this side is dark and hopeless, if it were not for the strong dependence of the farming people on the land, I am afraid that they would also be like the nomadic horses' hooves and horses' hooves fell away.

The old general sat alone in the room and thought, with the current morale, how to face the morale and popularity of the Kun Yu army?

When he first learned that Kun Yuguo was continuing to advance, the old general thought that Qianyang had also been taken, but when he learned that they had been divided into two batches, he was surprised.

According to intelligence, Kun Yuguo only has more than 100,000 troops, how dare they divide it into two batches, whether it is besieging or besieging the city, even if it is divided into five or five, it is definitely not enough.

The more information he explored, the more the old general felt broken, and after a lifetime of fighting, he had never encountered such an out-of-tune one!

Of course, Le Zhengyuan can't only lead cavalry, the infantry are sitting in infantry vehicles, from the outside, these infantry vehicles are like baggage vehicles, with such mobility, the speed of progress is very fast, but it takes a lot of time to establish a good relationship with the people.

Two weeks later, the old general had to report that Kun Yuguo was still a day's journey from Chencang, and the old general immediately ordered to close the city gate, but there were too few people left in the city, especially those who had no property in the city, and almost all of them went out of the city.

The veteran sighed secretly:

is so unpopular, Zhao Guo is going to be finished!

A day later, in the evening, the army of Kun Yuguo appeared near Chencang, but there was still a group of people between them and Chencang City, and these people were the surrounding people.

Hyun reminded Le Zheng that it is okay to win the hearts of the people, but it is not allowed to make the people feel that under the rule of Kun Yuguo, even if they don't do anything, they can have food and clothing, in that case, not only will not bring the hearts of the people over, but will make them resistant, so Le Zheng is very careful along the way, only to make them feel that life has a rush, unlike under the rule of the Shi family is infinite darkness, therefore, this team of people is not unreasonable, like welcoming the savior, welcome the road, Some even provided the strength of the troops in the city as well as the location of some important facilities.

Along the way, everyone is often smashed by pies from the sky and don't know anything, happiness comes too fast, and they don't know whether to use a hug or a back.

The crowd thanked the people, told them where they were safe, and then the two groups said goodbye.

Walking further, I saw the city of Chencang.

The whole Shaanxi has a heavy history, China up and down for 5,000 years, from ancient times, Shaanxi has a strong stroke, the historical relics are also three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, it seems that every step can rub shoulders with history.

Baoji has been an important city since ancient times, and this city alone has an endless history, so the city in front of them in Le Zhengyuan is also incomparable to Longzhou and Qianyang.

Encamped in a safe position, the old general did not rush to attack, he never understood why the other side only had cavalry and did not plan to attack the city?

Picked up on the city wall and watched it for a long time:

It is true that there are not many people, and such a number seems reasonable, after all, there are many people who want to besiege the city.

But I can't always convince myself:

What do you mean by bringing such a few people? Plundering resources? Judging from the way they traveled, it wasn't for plunder.

I kept on the city wall and saw them lighting at night, there were not many tents, there were not many lights, and the whole camp was almost dark, indicating that there were indeed not many people:

So why exactly?

After looking at the Kun Yuguo army again, he went down from the wall and returned to his house, but he couldn't sleep well after tossing and turning.

I finally fell asleep, but I was suddenly woken up by the sound of slamming the door, and when I woke up, I heard the sound of artillery fire from the city wall, and I didn't need to ask what the door was for.

The old general quickly got dressed, opened the door and said without waiting for the other party to speak:

"Are you coming to siege? How's it going? ”

It was one of his generals who smashed the door, and said quickly and simply:

"It's okay for the time being, they're just throwing firecrackers at the walls."

The old general was stunned:

"Firecrackers? It is said that Zhuo Ye's army makes good use of artillery, is it talking about firecrackers? What can that stuff be for? ”

The general is not easy to say:

"Well, please go and see for yourself."

When he was about to reach the city wall, there was a roaring sound, and the old general lifted the curtain to see, and a dense red dot outside the city wall flew towards the city wall, and then there was a burst of crackling sound one after another.

The general reminded:

"Be careful, my lord, as we get closer to the wall, those firecrackers will fly this way."

The old general hummed, lowered the curtain, and went up to the city wall with all kinds of calculations in his heart.

I thought that I would see the cavalry storming the city gate, and the two sides would fight to the death, but after coming up, I saw my army shrinking behind the battlement, carefully observing the opposite side, and then looking at the opposite side, there was a peace under the city wall, and the other party was in the dark, and only when igniting and shooting firecrackers, could we determine its position.

Look at the exploded firecrackers again, although Zhao Guo did not buy bullets and crossbows, but the old general, as a soldier, also understood, it is impossible for bullets to bring such a large roll of firecrackers into the city, and it is so far away, I didn't see them bring siege guns during the day, what is it that brings firecrackers in?

A soldier came to report that all the gates had been attacked, except for the east gate.

The old general once again felt that he was about to collapse, he had lived for more than fifty years, and had experienced battles large and small, but none of them had made him so helpless, and he was hiding out of range, and he didn't want to shoot an arrow unless he went out of the city.

Yang Tian sighed, and suddenly found that it was only four days now, and he couldn't help but scold after being irritable for a few days:

"Are these bastards of Kun Yuguo Iron Men? It's only now that the evening starts, and these eight calves are tired to death! ”

The soldiers also wanted to scold, and they all had a fire in their stomachs, but their grades were not high, and they didn't dare to scold like the old general.

After this wave of firecrackers, it was quiet, the old general squinted his eyes and looked at the opposite side, but he couldn't see anything in the dark, there was not even a little light in the camp of Kun Yuguo, he turned his head to check the casualties, there were no dead, but there were a lot of injuries, after arranging the guards, the old general went to see the situation of the attacks on each gate.

There was an endless stream of people transporting the wounded on the road, bustling, and the people who came and went were more serious, and they didn't care about the surroundings with a straight face, and only buried their heads in their own business.

The old general really had the urge to pull out his hair, and before anyone saw it, he lost a lot first.

The city that had been sleeping became lively again, and the people who had not left the city hid in their courtyards, peeking out through the cracks in the doors and windows.

After dawn, the city wall was bombed in a mess, although the remains of the firecrackers have been swept away, but the black marks left after the explosion will be cleared in the future, even if there is only a black mark left, the trajectory after the explosion is clearly recorded, such marks can be seen outside the city wall, on the city wall, and in the city and near the city wall, all visible, one on the left, one on the right, dense, as if experiencing a very tragic battle.

Such a scene cast a shadow on everyone's hearts, and then looked at the camp of Kun Yuguo, the smoke curled up, and the laughter was lively, as if nothing had happened.

The old general carefully confirmed again, and made sure that they did not bring siege equipment such as siege guns except for siege ladders, and he was even more puzzled by how those firecrackers entered the city.

In the camp of Kun Yuguo, after breakfast, standing guard, sleeping, Le Zhengyuan discussed the next step of the battle with the generals, and a soldier came in happily and reported:

"The people are sending us firecrackers again."
