Chapter 40 Gunpowder Explodes Jiangyuan!
"Lord, the barbarians have all entered Jiangyuan City, do you want to light the fuse?"
Since ancient times, there have been close relatives, not to mention that there is Mrs. Cai caught in it, Xu Shu knows the status of this lady in Liu Cong's heart, so he will not be involved in the struggle between Liu Cong and Cai Mao to death, and at this time he is just honestly talking about the barbarians.
"Click, these barbarians have been plundering Wuling for a long time and slaughtering countless Han people, it's time for them to pay the price!"
Liu Cong came to this mountain peak from Jiangyuan City, naturally not to sigh at the strength of the barbarian army, and to sit and watch the barbarians recapture Jiangyuan.
Although he did not expect that the army led by a third-rate barbarian general would have such combat power, in Liu Cong's opinion, even if there was no third-rate military commander under the command, the strength of the barbarian soldiers would be comparable to the combined forces of the two armies.
If there is a serious battle to defend the city, Liu Cong can win, and it will be a tragic victory.
He finally accumulated this bit of family wealth, but he didn't want to lose it all in a battle, so he had already made a plan and was determined to destroy the enemy with a plan!
At this time, the entire Jiangyuan City was already an empty city, not only all the soldiers had withdrawn, but even the people in the city had been driven out by Liu Cong.
Drive the people to leave their homes, if it is the Han people, Liu Cong is really difficult to ruthless this heart, but although Jiangyuan City was built by the Han people, it was ruled by the barbarians for a hundred years, and was slaughtered many times, and there were no Han people in the city for a long time, and the barbarians living in Jiangyuan City at this time were all barbarians.
Dealing with these barbarians with the blood of the Han people in their hands, Liu Cong naturally would not be soft, just drove them out of the city, instead of directly slaughtering them, which was polite enough.
After the barbarians left the city, Liu Cong buried millions of catties of gunpowder in Jiangyuan City.
There is no such thing as gunpowder in the Three Kingdoms World, but it has developed very well in the Yitian World.
Especially Mingjiao itself is good at using gunpowder, after Liu Cong became the master, not to mention gunpowder, that is, artillery has been developed, Liu Cong's later attack on the Yuan Court can be like a bamboo, in addition to the soldiers' lives, the invincibility of the berserk army, these artillery also play a pivotal role.
When he returned, Liu Cong loaded a large amount of gunpowder and artillery into the main god space, and the artillery had not yet come in handy, but this gunpowder had already been used first.
Millions of catties of gunpowder are enough to send the entire Jiangyuan City to the sky, not to mention the third-rate generals leading the regular soldiers, even the flowing generals leading the elite soldiers, it is also a dead end!
"Herald, dot lead!"
Liu Cong showed a sinister smile on his face, and the order passed through the main god system and reached the ears of the soldiers holding velvet in all directions of Jiangyuan City.
……
"General, there is no one in the city!"
"General, there is no one in the city!"
"General, there is no one in the city!"
In Jiangyuan City, the barbarian soldiers reported back one after another, and Sang Ha was confused, and his barren brain couldn't figure out the current situation at all.
Why is there no one in Jiangyuan City?
Could it be that those Han dogs heard that he was coming, and knew that they were invincible, so they fled in despair?
Well, that's the only reason it seems.
"Haha, my Lord Sangha is really a famous general in the world, and I already have the ability to make the enemy flee!"
Sanha laughed, but before the laughter fell, he felt the earth suddenly begin to tremble, as if a prehistoric beast was underground, intending to break through the ground!
"Boom!"
The flames rose into the sky, and the sound spread in all directions, and the entire Wuling County felt the earth tremble, and countless people knelt on the ground, praying to the gods to calm their anger.
Everything in Jiangyuan City was wiped out in an instant, and the houses, plants, and even the towering city walls were all turned into dust.
Sanha and the three thousand brute soldiers were buried in the firelight, and before they could utter their last cry, they became one with the dust of all things, and there was no trace of them again.
……
Twenty miles outside Jiangyuan City.
The thirteen county commanders of Wuling County gathered together and were gathering to drink, but the person at the head was not one of them, but a young general in battle armor.
This person's surname is Cai Mingzhong, and he is a son of the Cai family in Jingzhou and a brother of the Cai Mao clan.
He is not seen in the history books, but there have been several appearances in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
When Liu Bei was attached to Jingzhou, Cai Mao was deeply jealous of Liu Bei and designed to kill him at the banquet, but Cai Zhong was ordered to guard the south gate of Xiangyang.
Later, Liu Cong raised Jingzhou to surrender to Wei, and Cai's surrendered with him, Cai Mao saw the governor of the water army because he was good at raising the water army, and Cai Zhong was also the deputy general.
Zhou Yu set up a counter-plot to make Cao Cao kill Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and Cao Cao then sent Cai Zhong and Cai He to surrender to the Wu army, responsible for spying on the enemy.
Zhou Yu knew and accepted it, and ordered Gan Ning to be the front, and on the night of the Chibi battle, Gan Ning led Cai Zhong deep into Cao Zhai and cut him under the horse with a knife.
Judging from the above words, Cai Zhong can be Cai Mao's cronies.
And this time, Cai Zhong went to Wuling, and it was on behalf of Cai Mao that he came to monitor and pacify these county orders.
Liu Biao became the lord of Jingzhou, and he was able to sit firmly in the position of the lord of Jingzhou, relying on the support of the Cai family.
And the Cai family also relied on Liu Biao to become the first family in Jingzhou.
Now in the military and political power of Jingzhou, the Cai family is in important positions, and eight or nine out of ten officials in the county are from the Cai family, which is where Cai Mao's confidence lies in daring to openly confront Liu Biao.
However, people's hearts are changeable, even if these county orders are from the Cai family, but they have been officials for a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not change their minds.
After all, Liu Biao is not an easy person, he has been seeking skin with the tiger for many years, but he has not completely become a puppet, which shows his ability.
If he is interested, it is difficult to guarantee that these county orders will not be co-opted by him, and at this critical moment, any mistake will be lost, so Cai Mao sent Cai Zhong to ensure that nothing goes wrong!
"Report ......"
The herald ran in, knelt on the ground and said loudly: "General Qiyu, my subordinates have already found out that Jiangyuan City is an empty city at this time, and the second son's department has already left before the barbarians attack the city. ”
"Haha, what am I talking about, you don't have to worry, the second son is not an unwise person, since he will judge the situation, you can't do it, how dare he fight against the barbarians? I left the city early. ”
Cai Zhong laughed, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this can be said to be the best result, Jiang Yuan gained and lost, Liu Cong could not establish his prestige, and these county orders were bound to not support Liu Cong after his envelopment this time.
At that time, Liu Cong can only honestly go to Xiangyang, be a doll of the Cai family with peace of mind, and be held in a high position by the Cai family at this time, and then have a name in vain, and the benefits will be all for the Cai family!
"Thanks to the general's ingenuity!"
"The general is strategizing and winning thousands of miles away!"
"The second son is a general, like a child is a strong man, the general can do whatever he wants!"
"I'll wait for a cup to the general, and I wish the general a victory!"
Many county orders were naturally like sycophants, shooting wildly around Cai Zhong, but just when the atmosphere was hot, a loud noise suddenly came from afar.
But seeing that the Jiangyuan City was full of fire, and the sound shook for thousands of miles, everyone's faces suddenly turned pale, at this moment, it seemed that the barbarians had just entered the city!
"Quick, quick, go to Jiangyuan City!" Cai Zhong's body swayed and said tremblingly.
