As the townsfolk continued to rush to the city, the white-knuckle hand-to-hand combat became more and more intense, and it had reached a white-hot level.

When the general flag of the Zhao family and the thief collided together, their faces were all attached to their faces, and the shield was completely useless between the two people, the place was narrow, and there was no room for the big knife to be opened, and the general flag roared, and used a big knife as a spear, and pierced the left rib of the thief along the small gap, but how can the big knife be compared with the black tiger army's spear in assassination? The big knife was just the tip of the knife that pierced the left rib of the black tiger thief. Also because of the two-layer rattan armor blocking, although the general flag also used all the strength, but it was only through the armor only five inches, the general flag struggled to draw the knife, wanting to pull out the knife to make up for it.

According to normal reasoning, the thief should also retreat and escape from this fatal knife, which Cheng thought, the black tiger thief did not retreat but advanced, so that the big knife pierced deeper into his body, and even more unreasonably threw away the spear in his hand, and hugged the general flag with his right hand, now the two of them have hugged each other tightly, their faces are close to their faces, and the thief actually stared at him with blood-red eyes and whispered to him: "You are dead." ”

The general flag shouted loudly in disbelief: "Impossible-" Then he felt his neck cold, and a spear pierced his weak neck without resistance, and then quickly pulled out, and the two of them fell to the ground together, and before he died, the thief laughed weirdly and whispered: "I said that if you die, it must be." ”

The general banner looked at the thief who did not play his cards according to common sense unwillingly, and finally he felt a corpse of Xiang Yong fall on the two of them, followed by another ——。

Cao Meng only took a breath when he cut down the fifth Xiangyong, and his whole body was already blood-stained with blood, and he didn't know which ones were the enemy's and which ones were his own.

Cao Meng secretly blamed himself for his carelessness, because he was used to harming people, and almost lost the fortress, looking at the village Yong who was still climbing up on the forty or so cloud ladders, Cao Meng yelled at a soldier next to him: "Order an explosive bag and throw it down." Quick, blow him up as a son of a bitch. ”

These explosives bags are all treasures of the army, this time Cao Meng sent troops, thinking that he was going to have a good fight with the Ganquan guards, so he brought as many as fifty to make up for the lack of his firearms and bows and arrows, but he didn't want the Ganquan defenders to run fast, and they didn't use it at all, but when attacking a small cottage that was not subject to constraints, in order to show their strength and so on, they used two when they bombed the village gate, and when they were building a fortress to take soil, in order to save time, ten explosives were used to blast up the frozen soil on the surface of one meter thick. Now there are thirty-eight, this is Cao Meng's last life-saving killer, until the time of necessity, I don't want to and can't move, I didn't expect that a misjudgment of my own made the fortress in danger in advance, so Cao Meng had to grit his teeth and take out ten, hoping to get through the immediate crisis.

The soldiers who were guarding the explosive bag heard Cao Meng's order, quickly lit the explosive bag in their hands, threw it to the edge of the city wall, and threw it into the crowded place below.

There were originally a thousand men and horses attacking the city under the city, but there were more than 500 dead and wounded, and there were more than 500 left, and then Naganquan Qianhu sent 1,000 men and horses to assist again, and that Qianhu still took a little breakthrough method, concentrating all the forces to concentrate on the attack within the coverage of the limited bow and arrow. In addition, the fortress is not large, and the front is so wide, so in the small open space from this trench to the fortress, there are people next to people, and there is not even a place for people to insert pins.

When the powerful explosive bag was dropped, it all fell into the crowd, although everyone looked at the thing that was still hissing and smoking, but the enemy would definitely not drop a wallet, it must be something that would kill people, so the people around the explosive bag ran desperately in all directions, but there were people everywhere, and they still ran away? At this moment, there were ten earth-shattering explosions in succession, and ten black smoke like demons rose from the sky to the ground, and dirt and human limbs and flesh flew all over the sky.

In the sound of the explosion, the entire battlefield, except for the unstopped fighting on the fortress, all the people, including the bombed, were stunned to see the battlefield that had become the Shura field, there were ten big pits on the ground, and there were still curling smoke in the pits, and there were countless corpses of broken flesh lying down in layers around the perimeter of the big pit, and there were many Xiang Yong who could not see the external injuries but bleed from the mouth and nose in the distance, and there were also Xiang Yong who had dull eyes and became stupid. Several of the knocked down ladders also broke into several sections and fell to the ground.

Is this a human effort? This can only be the weapon of the gods, and I heard that the thief is the next generation of the gods, and he brought the wrath of the gods to save the people, so this is it.

The battlefield was quiet for half an hour, in the stunned eyes of Qianhu, Zhang Yuan, and the county lord of Ganquan City, the remaining less than a thousand Xiangyong suddenly broke out after a period of silence and suddenly broke out into an astonishing shout, and turned around and fled back towards the brigade together, the personnel trampled on each other, running like a tide, and even the supervising team led by the general banner Chen Qiang was instantly overwhelmed by the crowd, and a few unlucky people wanted to block the mantis car, and were trampled to death by countless big feet, and those archers even lost their bows and arrows and ran back with the crowd. For a while, it drove Zhang Yuan's formation into chaos. Zhang Yuan dispatched a large group of pro-soldiers to suppress it.

Looking at the deserters who had lost their popularity and had been frightened, and watching the last Xiangyong on the fortress being kicked off the city, Ganquan Qianhu asked Zhang Yuan in a low voice with a blue face, "Lord Zhang, it will be dark, is this battle still fought?" ”

Zhang Yuan revealed the nature of a businessman at this time, the success or failure of a big business, that is, a gamble, a ruthless, the so-called shopping mall is like a battlefield, and everything in the world is the same, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Fight, even if it is dark, you will fight, and if you don't take this nail, you will never withdraw the army." ”

Naganquan Qianhu stared at Zhang Yuan carefully for a long time, and then laughed and said: "Good Lord Zhang, I really underestimated you, since you are so ruthless, I will accompany you." Lao Tzu has not been able to command such a well-fed, well-fed soldier for a long time, and he is happy. ”

At this time, the Chen family Xiaoqi, who had been humbly studying by Zhang Yuan and Qianhu's side, stepped forward and whispered: "Brother Zhang, Lord Qianhu, according to Xiao's observation, this thief took out this thing, which has already scared our Xiangyong into courage, and it is rumored that it is the weapon of the god that the thief reincarnated by the god of heaven took it, so the morale of the army has fallen greatly, and at the same time, everyone has been fighting for a day, and they are already exhausted. ”

"What a god weapon, that's." The thousand households said loudly to this ignorant Chen family disciple, and at the same time, they also listened to all the frightened villagers present: "Where did the gods come from in this world, if there is, then the black tiger thief still uses such a hard fight to fight, and a few gods fly to our formation with this weapon to fight randomly, isn't everything fine?" It was just a large number of gunpowder packets, ignited and dropped to explode, what's so strange? In the Song Dynasty, there was this method in the book of war, called Thunder, look at you rare and strange things. ”

That Zhang Yuan immediately came to his senses one day, "Is what the adult said true?" ”

"I'm okay to eat, I'm full? Take your pastime? The "Notes on the Martial Arts" is clearly written, and it is also very common in our Ming Dynasty, and we also have it in this sweet spring. ”

"Brother, I remembered, but the Wujing note mentioned this city defense device, but the gunpowder was mixed with some croton, arsenic and several other poisons, which were ignited from the city and dropped to kill and injure enemy soldiers." The Chen family disciple stepped forward and said. It seems that he has been reading a lot of books, and he has put a lot of effort into it.

Zhang Yuan nodded with satisfaction, and ordered people to spread the news to the whole army, and not to mention any more words about the heavenly weapons to confuse the public. The heralds carried the news and went around to publicize it, and after a while, the chaotic army gradually quieted down.

"But Senhe-sama, there is something that the student is not sure about and wants to ask."

"Speak." The thousand households were respectfully asked for advice by a scholar, and they were in a good mood and agreed boldly.

Xiao Qi lowered his voice and asked cautiously: "It's just that although the "Martial Arts Scripture Notes" says that there is this thing, but what is indicated is smoke and fire, but it can't explode, and at the same time, that thing is also quite heavy, why is it that what I saw just now is not big, but when it explodes, it is very powerful?" ”

At this time, the thousand households were not embarrassed, the glory and excitement of the original good teacher disappeared, this Chen family disciple said very much, not only the martial arts to note that it is described like this, in fact, the thunder in his arsenal, the effect is also like this, but how can the thief be like this, he also does not know, so he had to prevaricate in embarrassment, and the Chen family disciples also knew that the thousand households did not understand, so they no longer asked, just hid behind everyone and continued to study.

"Lord Qianhe, how should we fight the next battle?" Zhang Yuan asked modestly.

"The gunpowder of the thief has reminded me that we can repay others in the way of others." The Tao of a thousand households of yin and yin.

"What do you say?"

"I also saw just now, the thief was wrapped in a cloth with gunpowder, and our gunpowder is not as powerful as theirs, but we can make the package big enough to have that power, and then we will use this thing to blow up the city. See if this little fortress is still in ashes? He laughed triumphantly.

"Well, why didn't I think of this idea? Looks like I still have to learn a lot from adults. Zhang Yuan said happily. But when I thought about it, I became frustrated, "However, the adults just said that digging tunnels involves time, and we can't use it when we are in a hurry. But how is this good? ”

"Don't worry, Lord Zhang, I said that digging tunnels involves time to deal with the big city, the big city wall is high and thick, and the foundation has many stone rollers and granite stacks, so you can only dig the tunnel to pile more gunpowder, but this small fortress in front of us is only made of sand and water frozen ice, so we continue to send troops to attack in the front, mobilize the thieves to defend in this area, and then we send people, all choose the capable and dare to die, add more rewards, carry a large number of this gunpowder bag, and take advantage of the darkness to the side of the river to secretly chisel the ice city as a medicine room, Wouldn't it be enough to stuff gunpowder and ignite it? ”
