Chapter 854: The Last Madness (3)
Haoxiao's arrival made Haoda very worried, and he guessed why Haoxiao came early in the morning. And Haoxiao didn't disappoint Haoda, he didn't just say hello, he immediately conveyed Mao Wenlong's doubts.
With a huge face full of embarrassment, he hesitated for a long time before pointing to the entire devastated battlefield and saying: "You don't know if you look at the scene, big brother, I was so angry that I killed for a while, and as a result, I used up almost all the gunpowder and fierce fire oil." ”
As soon as these words came out, Hao Xiao was stunned, and he looked at the entire battlefield again in a daze, which was indeed as Hao Da said. Haoxiao, who came to his senses, asked stupidly: "Then big brother, what should you do?" The chief soldier is in a hurry......"
Haoda shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's already counted, and you can only dispatch ten hot air balloons at most, so you can bring it to the general soldier first." My side has almost cleaned up, and after the arrangements are made, the eldest brother immediately led the troops over to ask the chief soldier for his guilt. ”
In the words, the vast is full of helplessness, and the momentary happiness may make him suffer immeasurable consequences.
Hao Xiao hesitated for a moment, then nodded lightly and agreed. After that, Haoda immediately let Haoxiao set off and went back with ten hot air balloons to recover his life. And he continued to clean up the battlefield, his only hope now was in Yanping City, as long as he could find gunpowder and fierce fire oil in it that could be replenished, at least he could alleviate Haoda's own mistakes.
The night passed in peace, and when the day was just dawning, Haoxiao had already arrived with ten hot air balloons squeezed out of the sky.
Mao Wenlong received the news and hurriedly walked out of the big tent, but saw that there were only ten hot air balloons, he immediately sank his face and asked coldly: "Why are there only ten?" ”
A bad premonition came to mind, and Mao Wenlong was worried about whether there was an accident in Yanping Mansion City.
Faced with Mao Wenlong's questioning, Hao Xiao didn't dare to hide it for his brother, so he immediately replied: "Chief soldier, there was an accident on Yanping's side, and Haoda can't come immediately now." These ten hot air balloons can only come so much for the time being......"
Hao Xiao didn't finish speaking, and was directly interrupted by Mao Wenlong: "Why can't you come?" ”
Hao Xiaozhi took a while before telling Mao Wenlong the original facts in detail. After hearing this, the latter's brows were furrowed, and his face was expressionless.
I was very nervous, I didn't know what to say for my brother?
Mao Wenlong was silent for a long time before he sighed lightly: "Forget it, prepare these ten hot air balloons to take off at any time." ”
Haoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, and from Mao Wenlong's tone, he seemed to feel that Haoda would not be too blamed this time. As long as Haoda is fine, Haoxiao has nothing to worry about.
Watching Haoxiao leave, Mao Wenlong turned around and went back to the big tent, and he asked the guards to invite Hong Chengchou to come and discuss. Now there are only ten hot air balloons, which is obviously not enough, far from being able to cause enough damage to Dingzhou City.
Soon, Hong Chengchou came in a hurry, and he had already heard the report of the guards, saying that there were only ten hot air balloons. As soon as he entered the big tent, Hong Chengchou saluted and said bluntly: "Chief soldier, why are there only ten hot air balloons, how can this attack Dingzhou City?" ”
Mao Wenlong waved his hand to signal Hong Chengchou not to worry, and after letting him sit down, he said in a deep voice: "Ten hot air balloons are indeed less, but as long as it can only be aimed at one city gate, it should still be able to open." With just a gap, our army can march straight in. ”
Hong Chengchou pondered for a moment, frowned, and said, "Is the general army still ready to use a strong attack?" ”
Mao Wenlong nodded: "It's only like this now." ”
Hong Chengchou paused, nodded and said, "It's all up to the general soldier's idea." ”
Mao Wenlong said with a smile: "Although there was a little accident on the vast side, it also successfully annihilated Zhu Yihai and the Zhu family's army. Now there is only this Dingzhou City left, if it is not for the sake of quelling the war as soon as possible, we can win without a fight if we besiege the city for a month or two. ”
This is an indisputable fact, the Zhu army in Yanping Mansion has been destroyed, and the Dongjiang army has been completely in absolute superiority.
Hong Chengchou was relieved when he heard this, and the two then discussed the matter of attacking Dingzhou City. After that, Mao Wenlong ordered the whole army to be assembled and prepared to fight.
The 40,000 Dongjiang troops originally surrounded the four city gates, but under the mobilization of Mao Wenlong, 5,000 troops were withdrawn from each city gate. Only 5,000 soldiers and horses remained to besiege the city, and the rest were assembled at the east gate.
Hao Xiao prepared the hot air balloon early in the morning, and after slowly rising into the air, he began to prepare for the attack. His aim was to open a gap in the eastern gate and allow the earthly army to break through.
Facing the Dongjiang Army, which suddenly opened a big battle, Li Dahai showed a desperate look on his face. A whole night passed, and the reinforcements had not yet been seen, but the Dongjiang army was already preparing to attack the city. At this moment, Li Dahai had already suddenly understood that Yanping's side must have fallen.
Only a lone army was left to defend Dingzhou City, and Li Dahai was completely desperate.
"Boom ......"
Violent explosions began to sound at the east city gate, and the Zhu Jiajun, who bore the brunt of the attack, suddenly wailed. The east city gate turned into a sea of fire in an instant, and the Zhu family army fled in all directions, and no one dared to stay to defend the city.
Li Dahai was so angry that he jumped to his feet, but he was helpless, and the hot air balloons floating high above his head couldn't hit at all.
The flames on the city tower were monstrous, directly destroying all the Zhu family troops, but the Dongjiang army under the city tower took this opportunity to start breaking the city gate. Encountering almost no hindrance, the Dongjiang army soon broke through the gates and poured into the city.
20,000 Dongjiang troops entered the city, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and no one could stop the Dongjiang army's advance. The defeat was like a mountain, and the morale of the Zhu family's army had fallen to the freezing point, and even more intelligent people directly threw away the weapons in their hands and the armor on their bodies, and put on the clothes of the people. then blended in with the people, trying to escape the killing of the Dongjiang army.
With the deepening of the Dongjiang army, the Zhu family army gradually died out, and finally was forced to retreat to the government in the city. Li Dahai's face was gloomy, and the shadow of death hung over his heart.
The subordinates who followed him in the life-and-death struggle were also disheartened at this moment, and the room full of people was already on the verge of despair.
There was still a sound of killing outside the mansion, and a hot air balloon was hovering overhead, and Zhu Jiajun had become a trapped beast at this moment.
A staff general couldn't stand such an atmosphere, he suddenly pulled out the saber on his waist, strode forward, knelt down on one leg and asked Li Dahai to fight: "General, please give me a thousand men and horses, and the last general is willing to fight to the death with the Dongjiang Army." ”
Li Dahai looked at him when he heard the voice, and his face was full of wry smiles. Suddenly, he felt that there was no need to let these subordinates work for their lives anymore, failure was already a fact, and no matter how much he struggled, it would be useless.
"Forget it, you don't have to fight anymore, the prince hasn't had any news yet, and he must have been lucky. You don't have to do these fearless things anymore, you all put down your weapons and go to the Dongjiang Army. Li Dahai rarely showed compassion.
