"Boom!"

With a dull sound, two huge boulders of dozens of catties rolled in the air for an unknown number of turns, and finally shot towards the city wall of Xixian.

However, after seeing the landing of the two boulders, the defenders in the city became smaller on the spot.

"What? That's it? The general knew that this day was to scare people. Seeing the boulder launched by the Tiance Army's trebuchet for the first time, Pang Cong couldn't help but pat the shoulder of his subordinate next to him and laughed there.

Like him, the rebels on the city tower also laughed one by one, laughing one by one. Compared to their previous use of trebuchets, the projection level of the opposing imperial army was simply worse.

Because of the two boulders, one fell into the moat and made a big splash; The other even had a moat projected.

"What the general said is that this Tiance army is famous, in fact, that's it." The general next to him hurriedly smiled.

"The general still thinks that the Tiance army is going to attack the city? It seems that they don't care about them, they like to get how to get it, at this level, Xixian is worry-free. Pang Cong laughed.

"General Pang can send troops out to fight back." Yang Shouzhong said coldly.

As soon as Yang Shouzhong's words fell, the atmosphere on the city tower suddenly changed. Before Pang Cong was killed by the Tiance Army in Qipanguan, which led to a big defeat, and he had to retreat to this West County to survive, Yang Shouzhong's words were undoubtedly revealing Pang Cong's scars.

"The surname is Yang, are you endless? The reason why I don't bother with you is for the sake of Lord Totong's face, don't really take yourself seriously. Pang Cong, who couldn't hold it on his face, said a little angrily.

"Hmph, it's better than some people losing thousands of troops, and now they shamelessly deny it!" Yang Shouzhong sneered.

"You...

Just when the city tower in Xixian County was in a quarrel, the Tiance cannon outside the city began to move again.

Although the first round of firing was only to correct the shooting distance and direction, the shooting was so crooked, which also made Ryuji and the soldiers and people who operated it blusha a little, thinking that they and others had made a mistake in the first operation.

In order to correct the distance, in the second round, Ryuji still ordered the projection of stones, and compared to the first round, the projection of the second round had some effect. Although one boulder still fell on the moat, the other fell on the city wall, so that it did not die, and it happened to fall less than two zhang away from Pang Cong, and killed an unlucky soldier on the spot.

Fortunately, this stone is not big, otherwise it would not have killed a person, but this also scared Pang Cong so much that he even forgot about the quarrel with Yang Shouzhong.

However, compared to the boulder, the gunpowder canister that began to be launched in the third round made Pang Cong and the others feel confident that they fell from the clouds to the abyss.

"Boom!"

A violent explosion suddenly exploded on the side of the city wall, and the flames from the explosion made the soldiers on the city tower clearly visible, and there was even a burning sensation. Then another explosion sounded quickly, although it also came from the moat, but it was more powerful, and the waves from the explosion were poured directly on the faces of the soldiers on the city tower, and it was directly chilling.

At this moment, many of the rebels on the city tower suddenly turned pale, which reminded them of the scene of Qipanguan a few days ago, those who survived Qipanguan had seen the power of this kind of heavenly fire, and this time it was even bigger.

Although there were no casualties in the two explosions, the splashes of water and the dented walls of the blast made their hands and feet weak. And when the explosion sounded, the towers were trembling, and the eardrums were buzzing.

What kind of power is this? Boulders? Still is? Or is it really Skyfire?

A series of questions ignited in the hearts of the rebels on the tower, and they did not know the answers, so they could only rely on their own minds to guess.

However, the imperial army outside the city soon relieved them, and soon one after another explosions sounded near the castle tower. The sound seemed to be a dementor bell from hell, and every time it rang, it seemed to strike hard in the hearts of the rebels.

Suddenly, a distant explosion sounded on the city tower, and although Pang Cong's group was far away, they were still frightened and squatted on the ground. After the explosion, he suddenly felt a heat on his face, and grabbed it, only to find that it was blood. There is also a hand at his feet, a half-amputated hand to be exact, and only three fingers, all still hanging.

Pang subconsciously looked in the direction of the explosion, and then slowly stood up incredibly, and the whole person stayed there.

As soon as the breeze blew from the river next to it, after the smoke cleared, there were still many soldiers on the castle tower before, and none of them stood in the surrounding infighting, falling in a pool of blood, and on the ground was a stump and broken arm, the scene was no worse than the tragic scene he was fighting with the Huangchao army, and it was even more cruel.

"General, help me..."

A rebel soldier who had been blown up and only one leg was left on the ground and shouted in a low voice, using all his strength, to crawl towards Pang Cong with difficulty.

"Gross!"

Seeing this kind of scene, someone finally couldn't help but vomit, and the surviving people around him were so frightened that their faces were pale and bloodless.

"Let's go! Come on! ”

Yang Shouzhong, who was not far away, saw this scene, and then looked at the trebuchet that was still being launched outside the city, and was so frightened that he immediately climbed down the city tower. If he didn't believe what Pang Cong said about the Heavenly Fire before, then now that he believes it, the power of this Heavenly Fire impresses him deeply, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to forget for a long time.

The heavenly fire exploded once, and there was no one who could stand within a radius of several feet, how could this power be that their flesh and blood could resist staying in this city tower, and I don't know if it would be myself who would die next time.

ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм

Regarding Yang Shouzhong's embarrassed appearance, Pang Cong was no longer in the mood to laugh at the other party, his situation at this time was not much better than the other party, what qualifications did he have to laugh at the other party?

For the scene on the other side of the city wall, although I didn't see it very clearly, I still saw the gunpowder jar exploding on the city tower, and the effect seemed to be good. It's a pity that there is no telescope, otherwise he can see the scene on the castle tower very clearly, although he can't make glass, but if he can find that kind of transparent crystal, after polishing, it can be made into a simple telescope.

Thinking of this, Li Ye instructed Zhang Wei on the side, "Zhang Wei, when you go back, you can tell Xiaoying, He Dong and Zhang Wei, and ask them to help this king pay attention to the transparent crystal, this king is useful." ”

"Clear crystal?" Although he didn't know what His Royal Highness wanted to do with this, Zhang Wei still nodded honestly, "Yes, Your Highness." ”

And Zhang Wei was quite happy that His Royal Highness mentioned his nephew. His nephew Zhang Xiong is now more and more reused in front of His Royal Highness, and he can be regarded as the other party's competition, although he has no other skills, but he is good at taking care of the business of the palace, and he is Zhou Xiaoying's right-hand man.

Due to the great impact of the tea business of the palace after coming to Lizhou, under the pressure of Tian Lingzi and Chen Jingxuan, most of the business of the He tea house fell into the hands of Chen Jingxuan and the two brothers, and those tea gardens were also in Xichuan, resulting in a sharp decline in the tea business of the entire palace, more than half compared with the same period last year.

Fortunately, Li Ye kept the production method of new tea very secret, and those workers also dragged their families to Lizhou, so the tea-making method was still in his hands. However, there is also roasted tea in the market, but the process is not good, so the taste is not good.

After arriving in Lizhou, the Li Tea House in the palace also quickly reopened, but there was a lack of a large number of fresh and famous teas, although the method of making tea was mastered, but the tea produced was a medium to lower category, and the profitability was naturally poor.

However, if the scale is large, relying on ordinary tea, it can also make a lot of profits, but now the scale of the tea house is just starting to start. Due to the great business of the Shouwang Mansion, and the lack of loyal people, Zhang Xiong was also sent to take care of the tea estate, and he usually went back and forth in Lizhou and Jizhou, although it was hard, but he could get Li Ye's trust, it was a trivial matter.

In the distance, I don't know if Long Zhi was too happy or what, constantly pouring gunpowder canisters into the city, although each projection, it takes a little time, but after becoming proficient, it is obviously a lot faster, and the soldiers who operate the Tiance cannon are also very interested.

Seeing that Li Ye didn't invest too much in the Tiance cannon, Zhang Shi'an on the side couldn't help licking his dry mouth, and then swallowed his saliva, "Your Highness, why don't you attack?" If there is this heavenly fire to help... ”

"General Zhang, His Royal Highness has given you the name of this Tiance Cannon!" Zhang Wei on the side reminded.

Zhang Shi'an was a little embarrassed, "Yes, if there are more artillery pieces this day, wouldn't it be possible for the coalition army to take Xixian in one fell swoop, and then go straight to Xingyuan Mansion?" ”

"I'm afraid to scare them away."

Li Ye smiled faintly, he was still waiting for Lu Yanhong's army to arrive, and the other Tiance cannons were all prepared for Lu Yanhong. If it weren't for Lu Yanhong, why would he have wasted so much time here? If he can't hit the main force of Lu Yanhong's department hard, even if he recovers Xingyuan Mansion, he will be like a thorn in his back, and he won't even be able to sleep well.

Seeing that Li Ye didn't want to say more, Zhang Shi'an was also very interested and stopped asking. However, his eyes looked at the Tiance Cannon in the distance from time to time, he was not curious about the Tiance Cannon itself, it was just a trebuchet, and the power of the Heavenly Fire that could be fired was beyond his imagination, but no one gave him an answer to the Heavenly Fire.

In less than half an hour, Li Ye ordered the Shenji battalion to withdraw his troops, although the city wall of Xixiang County in the distance was a little dilapidated, but Li Ye still resisted the idea of attacking immediately, and he couldn't lose a big one because of a small loss, so he finally withdrew.

Although he didn't take the county seat of Xixian, his morale was high, and the experiment of the Shenji Battalion was also very successful, so it seems that it will be necessary to change another group tomorrow to try.

But what Li Ye didn't know was that before he could change the other soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to try it the next day, there was a serious disagreement among the rebels in the city that night.
