Su Yuncheng finally came back to his senses from the huge noise, what happened to him, Su Yuncheng didn't wait for a report, and he didn't care about Su Xiangyun, so he raised his legs and went out of the door, and went directly to the source of the loud noise.

The power of human curiosity is huge, and Su Yuncheng, who went out of the gate, soon found that there was a group of people on the street not far from his house, and the people who were scared half to death just now have cheered up and watched the excitement.

Su Yuncheng's men unceremoniously dispersed the onlookers with whips and wooden sticks, and the audience was still reluctant to go under the threat of whips and sticks, as if they had become accustomed to all this, and stood a little farther away to continue to watch their excitement.

It was originally a good road, but now it has been blown out of a large crater, and the nearby houses have been damaged by needless to say, a family close to the explosion point, the fence has been knocked down a little, and the gambling surface of the house is also inlaid with large and small iron fragments. Su Yuncheng made a simple visual inspection, this pit is two feet deep, to say the least, and the width is also around three or four feet.

Oh, my God! Su Yuncheng finally felt scared now, the place where this thing exploded was only three feet away from his home, and he didn't need to look at it to know that it should be coming at him, thinking that if this thing really fell into his own study, his life would definitely be lost.

Uproot! Be sure to move as soon as possible. When Su Yuncheng made the decision to move, he was also viciously scolding Bai Qi in his heart, Bai Qi wanted his own life, fortunately, God blessed.

At the same time that Su Yuncheng was scared half to death, Bai Qi outside the city was also scared out of a cold sweat. The range of this giant catapult is also generally long. Originally, he ordered to blow up the city wall a few times to scare and scare the defenders, but he didn't expect it to be smashed into the city, and if it fell into the homes of any people, it would not hurt the innocent.

Xie Donghai saw that Bai Qi's face was ugly, and he began to drum in his heart, it seems that the accuracy of this giant catapult needs to be improved. Beckoning his men, he pushed the catapult back two more miles. Xie Donghai asked Bai Qi to continue.

How did Bai Qi know that the explosion just now actually completed a legendary precision strike. Not to mention Su Yuncheng's frightened decision to move, even the fighting spirit of the soldiers in the city was greatly hit, although Su Yuncheng was quite calm on the surface, but the psychological defense line had begun to waver, in the face of this ultra-modern weapon of mass destruction in the White Seventh Army, Su Yuncheng felt hopeless for the first time, and also smelled the breath of defeat.

"Lord, do you want to come again?" There was an error after only two hits, and Xie Donghai was a little embarrassed.

Bai Qi stood outside the city just now. You can also clearly hear the explosion in the city, which fully shows the huge explosion sound, although it is difficult to blow up the city wall, but it can't be said that this thing is useless, at least it can have a huge deterrent effect on the opponent's psychology, that is to say. I can't kill you, I'm scared to death you.

"Fight, not only fight. And it is necessary to fight in a planned way. A small plan formed in Bai Qi's mind.

What is a planned fight, Xie Donghai didn't understand, but Bai Qi's next explanation suddenly made Xie Donghai suddenly.

"Throw me one into the city every half hour, starting with the bottom and ending with all the bombs."

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the intimidation plan, Bai Qi dispatched 5,000 cavalry. It is responsible for protecting the giant catapult and preventing the defenders of the city from jumping out of the city to wreak havoc. Bai Qi gave his new tactic a relatively advanced name...... Psychic Shock Method.

What is the difficulty of sleeping, what is the thorn in the back, what is the ants on the hot pot? After the night passed, look at Su Yuncheng to know the answer.

It should be said that Bai Qi's hand is too lacking in morality, the accuracy of this giant catapult is really not very good, and the landing point of the bomb is also difficult to grasp, and it depends on God's arrangement who can be smashed after being thrown.

It is precisely because of this disorderly landing point that the entire Duliang City can be said to be in danger.

Another morning came, and after another boom, the firemen went up to the city wall early.

"Brothers, hurry up and eat, lest you be stoned to death by thunder and become a starving ghost."

Almost overnight, the city's inhabitants and soldiers gave the incomprehensible bomb a resounding name.

One night later, when Su Xiangyun looked at his father again, he almost didn't recognize him. Su Yuncheng, who originally only had a few gray hairs, turned half of his head white overnight, and the sound of the explosion sounded intermittently all night, Su Yuncheng also struggled in front of the oil lamp all night, fear, helplessness, and uneasiness accompanied the whole night, worrying at any time that the victim of the next explosion would be himself, and he also felt hopeless for the future of this capital Liangcheng.

Looking at his father, Su Xiangyun's heart hurt a little. The talented prime minister of the past, the father of the leader and minister, now looks so decadent, his waist that has been straightened up after a night, and his tired body leans back on the chair and coughs.

Su Yuncheng didn't lock Su Xiangyun up in the end, and Su Xiangyun also came to his father's study after a sleepless night, hoping to have a calm and long talk with Su Yuncheng.

Standing in front of Su Yuncheng, looking at his father, who was suddenly old, Su Xiangyun didn't say anything for a while, just stood silently and watched his father.

"Here you are, sit down." Su Yuncheng's voice revealed a kind of helpless tiredness.

Su Xiangyun just wanted to say something, but there was another loud bang, and the father and daughter looked up at the direction of the sound at the same time.

"You go back and tell Bai Qi and let him pick a place, I want to talk to him." Su Yuncheng shook his hand weakly, signaling that he didn't want to say anything more, and his cloudy and bloodshot eyes closed again.

Su Xiangyun wanted to open his mouth to say something, but he still closed his mouth and went out.

For Su Xiangyun's departure, Bai Qi still felt that he was responsible, thinking that Su Yuncheng had even done something to collude with Zhang Chu, what else did he dare not do, Su Xiangyun was probably more than lucky when he went back this time. It was precisely because of this that Bai Qi ordered the non-stop bombing of the giant catapult, and at the same time as the mental blow, it could be regarded as a wake-up call for Su Yuncheng, so that he did not dare to embarrass Su Xiangyun easily. What Bai Qi didn't expect was that the giant catapult first dropped the bomb at the door of Su Yuncheng's house, which frightened Su Yuncheng a lot, and the subsequent overnight bombing dealt a heavy blow to the morale and morale of the army in the city, and finally prompted Su Yuncheng to make up his mind to negotiate, which was an unexpected gain.

Human beings often have a sense of fear of things they don't know, and Su Yuncheng is no exception, when he finds that Bai Qi can control a weapon that he has never seen before, and the power of this weapon is far beyond his ability to bear, fear naturally arises, just like before the Opium War, the Qing Dynasty government first disdained foreigners, and then was fully afraid, Su Yuncheng was willing to negotiate, and this is exactly the reason. However, it is unrealistic to say that Su Yun can give up the interests in his hands, negotiation is a strategy, one is to delay time, and the other is to bargain, hoping to keep the territory of Duliang is the ultimate goal.

After bombing all night, Bai Qi himself didn't sleep peacefully, thinking about the night before Su Xiangyun left, from the soaked pillow, Bai Qi judged that Su Xiangyun had cried all night, and Su Xiangyun, who was sandwiched between himself and his father, can imagine the hardships of these days.

Thinking of the dangerous situation that Su Xiangyun might face, Bai Qi was determined to take Duliang as soon as possible, which was also in line with the immediate strategic needs. Find Kong Beihai and start to discuss the specific deployment. How to take Duliang at the lowest cost, the key still depends on the effect of the bomb, with 500 small catapults as the main force, with bombs to kill and injure the defenders as much as possible, this has become the consensus of the two people. The top priority is the hoarding of bombs, there are 3,000 bombs hoarded in Yulongguan at the moment, Bai Qi feels that it is not enough, and asks the Jiezhou side to transport another batch as soon as possible, and this matter is handed over to Xie Donghai to handle, and let him personally go back to Jiezhou.

As for the other troops, prepare enough siege equipment, conduct simulated training before the attack, and estimate that when the supplies from Jiezhou arrive, all preparations for the attack will be made.

After everything was arranged, it was already noon, and when Bai Qi pulled Kong Beihai to have lunch together, someone suddenly came to report below, "Mrs. Su is back!" Bai Qi couldn't believe his ears when he heard it, and he came back after only one night, this thing is too strange, did he hear it wrong?

When Su Xiangyun appeared in front of Bai Qi with a tired face, Bai Qi believed that he had heard correctly. Su Xiangyun, who saw Bai Qi again, looked obviously a little excited, and the people around him naturally retreated with interest and gave up the place to the dog man and woman.

Although they have only been separated for one day, this day seems to Su Xiangyun to be so long, after a ** hug, Su Xiangyun's tears can't be suppressed. After Bai Qi comforted him, Su Xiangyun finally calmed down, and only then did he put forward Su Yuncheng's request.

Su Yuncheng wants to negotiate? Bai Qi's first feeling was that this old boy was going to play tricks, and in this situation, as long as Zhang Chujun didn't take the initiative to attack, Duliang City would be Bai Qi's sooner or later. At this time, he proposed to negotiate, and Bai Qi told himself to be more thoughtful.

Bai Qi first asked Su Xiangyun about the current situation in the city, Su Xiangyun told Bai Qi about the current morale of the army in the city, as well as the state of his father after the explosion of the big bomb, Bai Qi couldn't help but laugh secretly after hearing it, there was such an effect, which he didn't expect. However, Bai Qi did not think that Su Yuncheng would be willing to fail, and the preparations for the siege still had to be done. As for negotiations, of course, it is necessary to talk, and it is of course best for Su Yuncheng, who can negotiate, to surrender without a fight.

Bai Qi decided to set the negotiation location in Shilipu, north of the city, which was relatively close to Duliang City, which was easy to reassure Su Yuncheng, in order to show his sincerity, Bai Qi ordered the whole army not to enter the range of thirty miles of Duliang City.

Of course, Bai Qi was not at ease when he went to negotiate like this, so he selected five hundred elite cavalry, and then arranged five thousand cavalry ten miles away from the negotiation site to prevent Su Yuncheng from cheating. Everything was ready to stop, find a soldier, write the negotiation matters with a bow and arrow, and shoot it into the city, just waiting for Su Yuncheng's reply. As for Su Xiangyun, Bai Qi wouldn't let her go into the city to take risks.
