Chapter 307: The Power of Gunpowder

"Boom-" A dull explosion sounded at the foot of Fushi's city. In fact, the sound is not violent at all, but this is definitely the loudest sound made by humans in this era, which is enough to make everyone on the battlefield change color.

And with this dull explosion, under the rammed earth city wall, a thick smoke rose into the sky, and along with the thick smoke, there was a black and red flame, tumbling and twisting and rushing up to the sky, just like the demonic beasts of hell, twisting their teeth and claws, so that all those who looked up couldn't help but scatter.

And the tall and sturdy rammed earth wall, in the eyes of everyone, in this loud noise and thick smoke and flames, violently drummed upward, and then slowly disintegrated, splashed, and finally collapsed.

Smoke and fire fell, the rammed earth masonry of the shattered city wall fell, and the entire battlefield became as silent as death, and all the people were frightened by the power of the thunder, and they all became clay figurines one by one.

"Tang Tianlei, Megatron, soldiers, kill-"

The lines that were originally arranged, no one shouted at the right time, so Zhao Xing could only handle it himself, roaring hoarsely.

Zhao Wuji, who was the first to react, woke up violently and yelled at his subordinates: "The king is mighty, the sky and thunder help each other, brothers, Fu Shi is broken, kill." ”

More than 20,000 soldiers also woke up from the shock, looking at the solid city wall that had collapsed more than a foot wide, they were no longer excited, but crazy, and shouted together: "The king is mighty, the sky and thunder help each other, kill-" and then with a crazy mentality, like the tide returning to the court, rushed to Fushi, rushed to the gap.

Bai Qi, who was standing at the head of the city, suddenly saw the enemy disappear like a tide, and he was not complacent because he had repelled the enemy, but his heart was even more prickly.

And he suddenly heard the enemy's formation over and over again, "The king cast a thunderbolt, and the whole army retreated to dodge." He also wanted to dodge, but there was no way back from the city wall, so he stood firmly at the head of the city and stabilized on Mount Tai.

"Zhao Xing, the god stick is right, I want to see what kind of tricks you have that can break my impregnable Fushi City in the blink of an eye."

Fushi City, in this world can indeed be called impregnable, because the city walls of this era are built of rammed earth, but since the appearance of bricks and tiles in Daijun, in order to strengthen the defense ability of this city, the Qin people deliberately spent countless people, fired green bricks, used glutinous rice as a binder, and reinforced a layer of green bricks in addition to the rammed earth of this city wall.

Bai Qi was full of confidence in the fortified city under his feet.

Just as he was waiting for what kind of danger he didn't know, Bai Qi felt the city wall under his feet, trembled violently, and then at the place where the enemy placed the wooden box, a bright light suddenly flashed, and its brightness was like lightning, which made people feel dazzling. This was followed by a dull loud noise, which could always be compared to a huge thunder, and a thick smoke and fire rose into the sky. Then the section of the wall arched upwards violently, and countless pieces of gravel and earth rose from that section of the wall, and rammed earth bricks poured down.

Looking at it again, that section of the city wall, with the soldiers on it, suddenly collapsed, and the entire city wall was blown up by this thunderbolt to create a huge gap, paving two slopes inside and outside.

Quiet, the silence of death, Bai Qi only saw his own soldiers, just like seeing the devil, dumb and motionless, many soldiers were pale faces, with wisps of blood on their faces, distorted expressions, lost all the things in their hands, opened their mouths but could not make any sound, crowded to both sides of the flight, there were groups of soldiers, were pushed and squeezed to the city.

But more soldiers knelt directly on the ruins, staring at the bricks and stones falling like a torrential rain, and kowtowing desperately there.

Time seemed to have passed for an eternity, and Bai Qi's ears were suddenly filled with earth-shattering sounds, cries and shouts, and the frantic rushing and killing of enemies outside the city, which was simply deafening to him.

The crackling of dirt on his helmet made his groggy head snap to his senses.

He heard the frantic shouts of his subordinate generals: "It's the heavenly thunder, the Tang Jun Immortal summoned the heavenly thunder, we are defeated, we are defeated." Then the Qin army, which had always been known for its fierceness and fearlessness of death, stumbled like that, and fled from the city with infinite fear.

"There are no immortals in this world at all, and gentlemen don't set up ghosts and gods, this is not a thunderbolt at all." The highly educated Bai Qi stood there numbly, muttering to himself.

The more highly educated people are, the more suspicious they are about ghosts and gods, and the more highly educated people are about ghosts and gods, but they never believe in them sincerely.

"That's not a thunderbolt, that's Zhao Xing's ghost, don't run away, guard the city." Bai Qi yelled hoarsely at his soldiers.

But 99% of the people in this era are uneducated people and ignorant people. And the more ignorant people are, the more they believe in the existence of ghosts and gods, especially when they see things with their own eyes, things that they have never seen before, things that do not make sense, they are more willing to believe that this is the power of ghosts and gods.

Especially the king of the Tang Kingdom, he has long had the name of a god, and what he shouted in advance was that he wanted to use the announcement of the heavenly thunder to make these soldiers believe that it was the heavenly thunder that broke the Fushi City.

The gods are irresistible, and they are powerless to resist, and no matter how much the embarrassed but determined young lieutenant shouts in defense, it cannot change the faith of the soldiers.

And just as Bai Qi was shouting hoarsely, a stumbling, numb soldier muttered: "The enemy has the help of the gods, we are finished, we are finished." Then he directly pushed away the general who should not dare to look up, stumbled and fled to the city, because he was in a trance, he rushed directly out of the horse road, fell to the city like a wood, and didn't even scream.

And those soldiers who were close to the explosion point also escaped, and there were wisps of blood flowing from the corners of their eyes, nostrils, and mouths, and with their pale faces, they were simply imps in hell appeared, their feet were vague and dizzy, and they were constantly standing unsteadily, falling to the ground, trampled to death by their robes.

Bai Qi stood here stunned for a moment, looked at the enemy like a tide, stomped his feet, and called out to the guards beside him: "Let's go." He rushed directly to the city, and then jumped on his chariot, regardless of whether Yu Rong got on the chariot or not, grabbed the reins of the horse and shook it, and roared: "Rack-" and began to gallop directly.

Instead of going to the barracks to greet the remaining soldiers, he rushed directly to the south gate. Along the way, he greeted his own cavalry soldiers, and regardless of his own soldiers who were running densely in front of him, he crashed into it, leaving wounded people along the way.

Running to the south gate, he shouted at the officers guarding the city gate: "When my cavalry rushes out, close the city gate immediately, and no one will be allowed to escape." Then drove out.

The 5,000 cavalry did not participate in the defense of the city, but they also heard the loud explosion on the city wall, and then saw the general rushing over alone, and everyone followed the order and rushed out of the city gate.

Before the cavalry lieutenant stepped forward to ask, Bai Qi reined in the war horse, turned the carriage, and ordered loudly to the cavalry lieutenant with a confused face: "Blockade and support, no matter who goes out of the city, there will be no mercy." ”

The cavalry captain was shocked: "Are our soldiers also killed?" ”

Bai Qi replied expressionlessly: "No matter who it is, there is no one left alive." ”
