Chapter 68: Tianwei reappears

No sooner had a man removed the ice from his back than a crossbow bolt pierced his skull. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The body fell crookedly, dragged by the cold ice and fell off the high wall, and fell to the ground like a broken sack with a loud muffled sound, and he did not say a word until he died.

Such a scene is very ordinary, and there are such scenes along the ice wall opposite the main gate of Loulan City all the time.

Ice City and Loulan City were only two hundred steps apart, and in the open space of these two hundred steps, countless corpses were thrown down.

The cold fixed their appearance before death forever, hideous or numb.

Every half an hour, when the people rebuilt the ice city, countless gunpowder shells flew out of the head of Loulan City, which fell on the ice city and then exploded.

The biggest threat to Loulan City was not this ice city, but the ice city that stood four hundred steps away.

The ice city in front is just a target to attract firepower, and it is easy to destroy it, but the ice city in the back has begun to take shape.

Meng Yuanzhi kept throwing gunpowder shells with ballistas to destroy this ice city at the beginning, but as time went by, the ice city became bigger and longer, and if he wanted to completely destroy this ice city, the amount of gunpowder shells needed was extremely large, and Loulan City could not afford it.

Tie San looked at the other side for a long time, and wrote on the sand table: "Raid tonight and blow up the ice city with gunpowder!" ”

Meng Yuanzhi nodded, this is no way, since you want to go out of the city, you have to plan well and expand the results as much as possible.

In the evening, the first wall of ice was completely destroyed by gunpowder shells, and the ice chips and dead bodies formed a long rocky beach.

The gloomy sky darkened quickly, and when there was still a glimmer of light in the sky, the gate of Loulan City opened.

Tetsu San rushed out of the city with 3,000 foot soldiers, carrying a large amount of gunpowder to cover the ice city opposite.

The ice city is brightly lit at night, and it is the best time for the big cannibals to build the ice city.

In order to speed up the construction of the ice city, the Qarakhanid people also participated.

As soon as the gate of Loulan City was opened, the big cannibal scouts outside the city issued a warning warning, and one after another arrows rushed into the air with a sharp sound.

The cavalry responsible for defending the ice city on both sides had already urged the horses.

Tie San advanced on the rocky beach full of sharp ice spikes with his foot soldiers, unconcerned about the cavalry outflanking on both sides, believing that Meng Yuanzhi at the head of the city would help him stop these enemies.

Sure enough, when the cavalry of the Great Cannibal came from both ends of the ice city to the Iron Sanhe, the Eight Bull Crossbows and the Divine Arm Crossbow on the head of the city were the first to exert their might, and the dense rain of arrows blocked the path of the Great Cannibal cavalry on both sides.

These powerful bows and crossbows easily pierced through the armor of the Great Eater Cavalry, nailing them to the foot of the ice city with men and horses.

The gate in the middle of the ice city also opened, and a large number of warriors dressed in black also poured out, they were jumping between the ice chips with swords in one hand and shields in the other, and their skills were extremely agile.

The crossbow arrows at the head of the city began to cover these people, however, few of the enemies were wounded by the crossbow arrows, and they were even able to form a fortress with shields in teams of five when the crossbow arrows attacked.

The thick crossbow spears of the Eight Ox crossbows pierced through the shells of these turtles, and the powerful crossbow spears often strung with the bodies of one or two enemies, sinking more than a foot into the ground.

"Allah ......"

As soon as the remaining black-clothed warriors approached Tetsuta, they discarded their shields and shouted and sped up to kill Tetsuta.

For the black-clothed samurai, Tetsu San is no stranger at all, when he was in the army before, these people were death-like existences.

They attack first, retreat behind, and sometimes serve as military judges, and they have the power to kill any soldier who stops in the way, and they have the power to kill anyone who wants to flee the battlefield.

Such an enemy is not something that the Hami army can be low-grade.

Tetsuzo shoved a whistle into his mouth and blew it violently, and after the sharp whistle sounded, the Hami soldier at the front lit the gunpowder bag in his hand and threw it out.

Tetsu quickly threw himself down, propping himself up on all fours, and if he pressed his chest to the ground, he would be shocked to death.

The power of the gunpowder pack is much greater than that of the gunpowder bullet, the former relies entirely on the power of the explosion to kill the enemy, and the latter mainly uses the fragments inside the iron shell to kill the enemy.

The lead on the powder pack was very short, and it exploded as soon as it landed.

The dark red fireball suddenly expanded outward, and then quickly retracted, and there was no longer a man in black around the fireball.

After the dense explosion, Tetsuzo shook his head and shook off the ice chips and steaming pieces of meat on his body, and took a gunpowder bag from his back and rushed forward.

After breaking through the first ice city, the feathered arrows of the great cannibal began to fall, at first sparsely, but immediately, it turned into a storm.

Hami's armor, which had been struck by the hammer, came into play, and the great cannibal's inferior iron arrow struck the armor, leaving only a small white mark and falling to the ground.

"Spread out, spread out, lower your body, and be careful with your guns!"

The infantry soldiers under Tie San's subordinates generally spread out, and under the leadership of their respective teams, they advanced towards the ice city.

A shining sword suddenly rose from under Tetsu San's feet and slashed hard at Tetsu San's back, Tetsu San staggered forward with a muffled snort, and then turned around and slashed at the black-clothed warrior who was kneeling on the ground.

The sword just now seemed to have exhausted all the strength of the black-clothed warrior, and the damage caused by the gunpowder bag was too great.

His knife was bounced high by his armor, and he could no longer hold it, watching Tetsu San's scimitar slash into his neck.

The sparse crossbows of the Eight Bull Crossbows could not block the gates of the Ice City, and the gates were like the mouths of demons, constantly spitting out warriors.

This time, there was no shadow of the black warrior in sight.

The Hami soldiers, who did not have gunpowder bags on their bodies, rushed forward bravely under the leadership of Tie San, and the sound of swords and shouts and fighting resounded throughout the battlefield.

A sturdy Hami soldier exhaled and threw a huge gunpowder bag with the help of the rope in his hand, and the shining sparks on the lead line crossed an arc and landed accurately at the city gate.

With a loud bang, the big cannibals crowded at the city gate were immediately torn to pieces by the powerful shock wave, and the crowded city gate was immediately cleared out of an open space.

The soldiers who followed Tie San took the opportunity to rush up and threw the gunpowder bags in their hands at the gate of the city, and the archers standing on top of the ice city seemed to know what fate awaited them, and they all ran madly along the newly built city wall to both sides.

Seven or eight gunpowder packets that had already ignited the fuse flew towards the gunpowder packets piled up under the ice city, and after two hard fights with the opponent, Tie Triathlon did not hesitate to abandon the enemy and run backwards.

What kind of scene is it for nearly 30,000 catties of gunpowder to explode together, Tie San has never seen it, and he knows that the farther away from the explosion point, the better.

He blew the whistle desperately while running, and not only did he blow it alone, but the lieutenant general and the team were doing the same thing.

When all the Hami soldiers heard the rapid whistle, no matter what they were doing, they immediately ran away, even if they were cut by the enemy because they turned around.

A big cannibal frantically clutched a sparkling powder bag and scurried around like a headless fly, until he had the audacity to pull out the fuse on it, and then he sat on the blood-stained ground and cried and laughed.

His ears were filled with wind, and then he found himself flying......

He wasn't the only one flying, he even saw a lot of people's heads, arms and legs splashing forward around him.

Tie San and the lieutenant general who were in charge of the broken break also flew, but they didn't fly far before they fell on the rough ground full of ice chips, and a piece of solid ice was under Tie San's ribs, and the pain made him almost faint.

It took a long time for Meng Yuanzhi, who was hiding behind the battlement, to restore the normal function of his ears.

Clean up the broken ice that falls on your body and poke your head out carefully.

It was dark on the other side, and everything could be seen, except for a few small fires burning, and only broken ice could be seen everywhere.

Tie San was carried back, and he couldn't hear anything until now, and the buzzing in his ears was too great.

Lying on the stretcher, he counted the subordinates who went out with him, counted them three times, and did not count them correctly, he felt that his subordinates should be able to come back more......

Few of the men who came back were intact, and the lightest of them had lost their sense of hearing.

"In the future, whenever a large amount of gunpowder is used, the safe distance needs to be at least 500 steps."

After Tie San saw Meng Yuanzhi, he immediately wrote this sentence on the sand table.

"I got it, and I wrote it down." Meng Yuan patted Tie San on the shoulder and asked the soldiers to carry him down to heal his injuries.

This night, the cold wind howled, and the calm was unusual.

The loud explosion that had previously sounded everyone in Loulan City had awakened everyone, and in fact, since the war began, no one in the city had not slept with their ears pricked up.

The two children of the copper were frightened, the older one was better, and the younger one buried his head in his mother's arms and said nothing.

Tong Pan put down the carving knife in his hand, and said to the eldest grandson with a smile: "It's just firecrackers, it's just firecrackers." ”

Just after the New Year, the eldest grandson had two firecrackers in his hands, which were part of the New Year's goods purchased by Tongzi after making a fortune this year.

The explanation of the firecrackers made the eldest grandson immediately lose his fear......

It was up to him to comfort the little one, and the little one quickly broke free from the fear, but he was unwilling to touch the firecracker in his brother's hand anyway.

"The war is so fierce, the child will ask the lieutenant tomorrow if you want to help, we can't afford to lose."

Tongban coughed and said, "I'll go!" ”

"You're old, and your hands and feet are not good, and if you go as a child, you just help transport some ordnance, and nothing will happen." (To be continued.) )
