Chapter 984: Gunpowder and Oil

In the middle of summer, the heat wave penetrates the bones, the grass grows on the grassland and the warbler flies, the green is lush, and under the clear sky, a burst of dust hits, breaking the tranquility of the sky.

At this time.

After more than ten days of long-distance running, Huo Quai, the second general of Dugu Fa has led the two major armies under his command into the depths of the grassland.

After a few days of skirmishes, Huo Qubing was sure that the Mongolian enemy soldiers poured out of the nest to the Northern Han King City, and after discussing with Dugu Var, he accelerated the speed of the two major armies, crossed the hinterland of the grassland, and killed the Mongolian King City.

At present, north of Wancheng, the entire grassland has fallen into chaos, and from time to time there is the neighing of war horses, I don't know whether it is the Chu army soldiers or the Mongolian enemy soldiers.

Anyway, Huo Quai, the Mongolian tribes encountered in the advance of Dugu Fa's department were all slaughtered, and they were not given the slightest chance.

The battle under the city of Wancheng came as scheduled, the sky above the city seemed to be shrouded by a sudden cold winter, the Mongolian army came to the city, the sword light and sword shadows crisscrossed the void, and the cold light made people shudder.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Mongol enemy soldiers launched a fierce attack directly, as if the long attack of the Northern Han King City for a month had made them lose all patience.

The Mongol enemy soldiers made bold moves, siege equipment, chariots and crossbows, all advanced under the city, and the trebuchets, bed crossbows, and crossbows on the city were already ready to arrow.

Zhou Yu guarded Wancheng for two years, coupled with the governance of Shentu Sheng, the development of the past few years has been by leaps and bounds.

The hard-won peaceful life made them cherish it very much, and now the Mongolian army is coming, wanting to break the tranquility that belongs to them, try to ask who will agree.

Knowing that the enemy army was pressing the border, and the people in the city were fully armed, claiming that they would fight hard with the Mongolian enemy soldiers, the army and the people were united, and hated the enemy, Zhou Yu was deeply moved, and ordered the people in the city to assist the army, and promised to defend Wancheng without losing it, and would not let their homes be destroyed in one fell swoop.

"Fifth, all the gunpowder packs and black oil brought from the nameless island will be transported to the city, and the Mongol enemy soldiers will attack the city so that they can taste the power of the gunpowder packs first."

In the past month, the gunpowder packs developed by Weinburga on Nameless Island have begun to be mass-produced, and a large number of them have been put into the battlefield.

The power of oil In the Battle of Sakura County, Zhou Yu witnessed with his own eyes, the Mongolian enemy steppe barbarians, empty brute force, how have they ever seen oil and gunpowder packets, Zhou Yu decided to let them understand the power of these two gods today.

Young.

The fifth broad led the troops to transport all the oil and gunpowder packets to the city, and Zhou Yu told Shan Li and Meng Ye how to use them, and asked them to distribute the oil and gunpowder packets to the soldiers under their command.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The sound of distance from the siege equipment under the city and the deep ravines on the ground where they passed, showed the strength of the Mongolian army's equipment.

The sound of horses' hooves resounded through the sky, hunting flags were waving in the wind, and Temujin's figure stood as straight as a sword, standing on a huge chariot.

The first eight generals in the column were none other than Temujin's four mastiffs and four heroes, flanked by his four adopted sons and four brothers.

There were also two people on the huge chariot, one was a fairy wind bone, holding a dust whisk in his hand, and he looked like a person from outside the square, this person was Temujin's belief in the Qiu Chuji, and the other was Temujin's advisor Yelu Chucai.

"Wo Kotai, those who are contemptuous, speed up but not Taiwan, Bian Feng listened to the order, ordered the four of you to lead the subordinates to launch a fierce attack on Wancheng, be sure to capture Wancheng in one fell swoop, and buy time for my army to enter the imperial city of Chu."

"Ordered the soldiers of the three armies, there are countless gold and silver treasures in the Chu State, beautiful women, and countless wines, and all these are the soldiers of the three armies who attack Wancheng."

Originally, the four mastiffs under Temujin's command had the archer Jebe, because Emperor Chu summoned him, so Jebe's position was replaced by Bian Feng, and he was also a rare archer in a thousand years.

"Order!"

The four of them received the order, flew their horses, and led the infantry under their command to rush out and launch the first round of attacks on Wancheng.

The catapults of the Mongol army launched a fierce attack with crossbows, and the arrows in the void were like rainbows, and the flying stones were like waterfalls, covering the sky and the sun to cover the past on the city.

Zhou Yu signaled the soldiers to hide behind the city, and he was still very confident in the construction of Wancheng, so that he would not be unable to withstand a round of strong attacks by the Mongol army.

Flying arrows and gravel slashed through the void, and there was a violent collision sound on the battle shield, Zhou Yu got up and stared at the city, and waved his sword to signal the Chu army soldiers to start a counterattack.

The gunpowder bag flew out of the air, and the arrows stained with black oil erupted, and in an instant, they flew out of the air and crushed towards the city, with thick smoke billowing and full of power.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The explosion shook the sky, and a thick flame burned on the ground, and the flaming arrows sank into the Mongol army, screaming and wailing endlessly, and the figures struggled wildly on the ground.

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Shoot the arrows!"

The three generals Zhou Yu, Shan Li, and Meng Ye commanded the Chu army in the city to attack frantically, and under the attack of gunpowder bags and oil, the Mongol enemy soldiers were discouraged and did not dare to take a step closer.

on the chariot.

Temujin's expression was hideous, his face was angry, he looked at the retreating army, and roared sharply: "The four heroes obeyed the order, immediately attacked and attacked the city, and ordered the soldiers of the three armies to dare to retreat the latter and kill them on the spot!" ”

"Wait!"

"Your Majesty, the Chu army is cunning, the arrows are on fire, and the things thrown in their trebuchets have a large-scale explosion, which has caused great damage to our army, and we can't let the four heroes lead the troops to attack, so it's just a waste of the army's life."

Qiu Chuji shook the dust lightly, his voice was hurried, and the anger on Temujin's face disappeared, and he asked with a sideways look.

"Immortals have a way!"

"Your Majesty, first order the three armies to retreat, and as for the method of breaking the city, the poor road will be sealed."

Temujin raised his hand and waved, the chariot creaked, and the 300,000-strong army began to retreat.

Wan Chengshang.

The soldiers of the Chu army were excited when they saw the Mongolian enemy soldiers retreating, but Zhou Yu frowned, the Mongolian enemy soldiers would not withdraw so easily, he was worried that there was a hidden mystery in it, and the Mongolian enemy soldiers were thinking of some tricks.

"General Mengda, King of the Northern Han, isn't it a little unusual for the Mongol enemy to withdraw after launching a round of attacks today."

"General Zhou don't worry, the power of the oil and gunpowder packs is too strong, they are simply not enough to reach the city, and it is reasonable that they are forced to withdraw their troops."

Shan Li said and turned around and motioned for Zhou Yu to look down at the city, and it was obvious that the attack of gunpowder bags and oil had achieved very significant results.

Under the curling smoke, the corpses of the Mongolian enemy soldiers were all over the field, swords, guns, swords, halberds were all over the place, and the bubbling blood stained the fallen banner red, and the enemy soldiers who attacked the Mongols did suffer heavy losses this time.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but believe Shan Li's words, believing that the Mongol enemy soldiers ordered the withdrawal of troops because they could not resist the attack of oil and gunpowder packets.

In fact, otherwise, Qiu Chuji was really holding back in his heart, waiting to annihilate all the Chu troops in Wancheng in one fell swoop.
