Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Confused Jiaoxi Army

After two incense sticks, Bai Mingzhe was in front, and Ye Chuping led the remaining younger brothers behind, transporting six clay pots, and walked to the city again.

Of the six clay pots they were holding, three contained small half-jars of black powder raw materials, and three were empty jars.

After fighting for more than an hour, the Jiaodong rebels temporarily retreated.

Looking at the many corpses lying on the ground at the head of the city, Bai Mingzhe sighed heavily and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Gong, I'm back!"

At this time, Uncle Zhang was leaning against the city wall, his face was covered with blood, his hair was scattered, and he was panting heavily, seeing that Bai Mingzhe was back, he showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, "Taiyuanjun, fortunately, the rebels retreated before the two sticks of incense!" They estimate that it will take some time to recuperate. According to my experience, the next time the rebels attack, should be after two incense sticks! ”

Motioning to Ye Chuping and the others to put down the clay pot against the city wall, he asked, "Can someone come to the east gate and north gate to ask for help?" How are they doing? ”

Zhang Bo nodded weakly, "Those two city gates have already sent someone to report once." Because of the higher terrain, the battle situation is a little easier than ours. It is said that the height of the rebel ladder of the two gates is not enough, and there is a difference of one, and the ladder is currently being temporarily lengthened. However, the situation in the east and north gates is not optimistic. As far as I know, the battering rams under those two gates are less than a hundred steps away from the gates. In less than an hour, the battering ram will arrive at the gates! ”

With all his strength, he raised two fingers and said intermittently: "Two hours, they hold on for two hours at most!" If, after two hours, we have not found a way to destroy the battering ram, we must open the gates and send the brave men to rush out and destroy the battering ram at the cost of their lives. ”

Bai Mingzhe waved his hand and smiled, "Don't be so troublesome, I already have a way to crack it!" ”

Uncle Zhang looked at the few jars by the wall in surprise, "Oh? Could it be that with these few clay pots, we can solve our biggest troubles? ”

"These aren't ordinary jars, they're life-threatening weapons! After a while, the battering ram reaches a distance of fifty paces from the city gate, ignites the jar, and then has two soldiers throw it together, and that's it. ”

"It's a bit difficult to throw fifty steps."

Bai Mingzhe stepped forward, patted Uncle Zhang's shoulder gently, and comforted: "Don't worry, Gong Zhang, I have already sent someone to prepare the rope." Later, you will hide the jar at the end of the rope, and use the centrifugal force generated when it rotates, you can throw the jar dozens of steps away! ”

"Centrifugal force? Jun always says something weird. Maybe that's what His Majesty values. Since Li Shaojun died and was cured, His Majesty has not seen such a strange thing for a long time. ”

Bai Mingzhe was silent for a while when he heard the mysterious name, "Li Shaojun has passed away...... Whether it is a human or an immortal, no one can tell, and I am just an ordinary person. ”

"Haha, whether you admit it or not, Your Majesty already regards you as a figure of immortals. Otherwise, it is not possible to exclude public opinion, and in the absence of military merits, only a method of salt making will be directly given the position of a feudal king. ”

Bai Mingzhe still said, "No matter what Your Majesty imagines, I'm just an ordinary person!" ”

Uncle Zhang smiled happily, "Hahaha, I appreciate this very much. ”

He wiped the ground beside him and patted it with his hand, "Taiyuan-kun, please take a seat!" You've been busy for a long time, so let's take a good rest. ”

"Okay." Bai Mingzhe was also not polite, and sat down next to Uncle Zhang.

The two seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, and they closed their eyes and remained silent.

For a moment, the surroundings were calm.

After half a stick of incense

"Whoosh!"

An arrow slammed into the city, shattering the silence, and then the walls shook like an earthquake.

A hysterical roar rang out coldly.

"Rush, ahhhh

"Kill, a

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The second round of the offensive began.

Zhang Bo struggled to get up from the ground, half-crouched, and observed the situation below through the small hole in the city wall.

When he saw a large number of soldiers rushing here, he couldn't help but curse: "Damn, it's a taboo for soldiers to attack the city frantically without rest!" Is Ma Ning crazy? In order to capture Gaomi County, he actually organized a second attack in a short period of time! Isn't he afraid of the soldiers complaining, isn't he afraid of destroying the army? ”

After Bai Mingzhe glanced down, he sighed and said, "Ma Ning is planning to step up his efforts to kill us!" The more anxious he is, the more he will do whatever it takes to attack the city, the greater the threat we are to him. It seems that Jiaodong officialdom really needs to be rectified. ”

Zhang Bo picked up the saber again and waved his hand vigorously, "Beat the drum!" All the soldiers are in the city at once! ”

"Knock knock knock!" Dense drumming echoed through the city.

"Dadada!"

"Whoa! Bang la la blah! ”

The soldiers who were repairing immediately put on their cloth armor, took up their weapons, and rushed up the stone stairs to the top of the city to defend themselves.

"Boom!! Rumble!! The battering ram continued to advance, and it was only eighty paces away from the gate.

Uncle Zhang sighed and said, "Taiyuan-jun, the battering ram depends on these clay pots of Jun."

Bai Mingzhe smiled slightly, gave Ye Chuping a gesture, signaled them to prepare, and then said, "Don't worry!" Definitely won't disappoint the public! ”

…………

West of the Huai River

An army of two thousand people was stationed by the river.

"Captain, it's been more than two hours since the time mentioned in Ma Ning's letter, are we looking for a boat to cross the river and attack Gaomi County?"

The leader rode on his horse, raised his hand to stop it, and said, "No hurry! Jiaodong County is not under the jurisdiction of my Jiaoxi Kingdom, and if you cross the river rashly, you will not only be blamed by Your Majesty, but it will also be difficult for the king to get along with him. Jiaoxi is mountainous and sparsely populated, so it is not easy to train soldiers, and it cannot be easily damaged. ”

"And when are we going to do it?"

"Wait two more hours! If two hours later, Gaomi County will still ......"

Before he could finish speaking, suddenly, the sound of thunder and lightning roared from the opposite side of the Huai River.

It's just that the sound is not in the sky, but on the ground.

"Boom !!"

"Boom !!!!!"

The strong roar caused the earth to tremble, and the water of the Huai River trembled because of this trembling, and the waves swelled and invaded both banks.

"Whoa! Wow! ”

"Whoa!"

The river is ashore and the weeds on the shore are completely covered.

"Hiss!!"

"Hiss!!"

The frightened neighing of the horse under the crotch of the leader would have rushed out for more than ten miles if it hadn't been forcible holding the reins by his own soldiers.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The explosion was extremely short, much shorter than the thunder, and it was over after only four sounds.

Five or six minutes after the explosion was over, the river slowly receded, and the weeds on the banks reappeared.

Wang Tie raised his hands tremblingly, straightened his helmet, and asked in horror, "What's wrong!" What happened! ”

"Captain, the voice is coming from the other side!"

Wang Tie looked at the other side of the Huai River in horror, and there seemed to be a puff of black smoke in the distance that had turned into a black dragon for a day, rushing towards the gloomy sky.

He murmured softly, "Immortals are angry? Or what? ”

"Captain, are we crossing the river and fighting the bandits who have invaded Gaomi County?"

"No!" Wang Tie vetoed this proposal and said in a deep voice, "The army will immediately retreat thirty miles!" Thou shalt immediately send men across the river to find out the situation, and no one shall rush to cross the river until the scouts return!" ”

"No!"

After a while, the 2,000-strong team of Jiaoxi Kingdom, which had been agreed with Ma Ning, left from the west bank of the Huai River.

…………

The camera returns to the south gate of Gaomi County

Bai Mingzhe looked at the battering ram emitting black smoke not far away in surprise, clapped his hands vigorously, and laughed: "Hahaha, it's done!!"

Zhang Bo held his breath, his pupils shrank suddenly, his mouth was about to droop to the ground, and he looked at the big pit around the battering ram and said nothing.

He didn't know what to say anymore, and he didn't dare to say anything!

What did you just see?

When the small jar was lit and thrown out, it suddenly disintegrated and exploded where it fell.

Isn't it only thunderstorms that explosions will appear in the sky? Why did Taiyuan Jun let it come on a cloudy day?

Why does it not appear in the sky, but directly on the ground?

The most important thing is that the two small clay pots that destroyed the battering ram are not as big as the water tank.

Thunder! It's definitely a thunderbolt!

A small jar actually attracted thunder?

Taiyuanjun is really a fairy?! What you just said about ordinary people is absolutely modest!

Uncle Zhang's face was red with excitement!

The blood on his face was not as rosy as his face!

"White... White Prince! Jun actually knows the art of immortals and the method of borrowing thunder! ”

Bai Mingzhe didn't want to admit that he had something to do with the immortals, so he shook his head again and again, "It's just a trick!" ”

Uncle Zhang jumped up on the spot excitedly, "Strange tricks? No way! What I saw with my own eyes just now, where the clay pot fell, those soldiers pushing the battering ram seemed to have suffered a car split, and their bodies were torn apart, and they did not look like men! If it wasn't for the Immortal Technique, how could this be possible? Manpower, how can it have the power of five horses? Bai Gong's hand is enough to deter the world's soldiers! ”

As Uncle Zhang said, the Jiaodong defenders, who were originally carrying the ladder and charging towards the city wall with majesty and high spirits, saw the fate of the division of the soldiers' bodies behind the battering ram and iron plates, and after feeling the buzzing of their ears for a while, they all stopped, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and began to turn around and run.

Fuck, it's weird!

When the power of heaven comes, it still splits on its own people!

In this case, it's strange not to be afraid!

As the place where the Jixia School Palace was once established, the people of Qidi still know a little about some knowledge points that spread the world.

Dr. Dong, an intellectual in Chang'an, proposed the induction of heaven and man, and Dr. Hu Wusheng of their Qi Di also agreed with this view.

Now that Tianwei is attacking the defenders of Jiaodong, is it the appearance of Tianren induction? Isn't God warning them of their behavior?

No matter! Let's talk about it after running! Even if the lieutenant investigates it, there is the first person to escape.

This is the current state of mind of the siege soldiers.
