In the camp of the Song army on the western front, Tong Guan carefully looked at the black earth-shattering thunder in front of him, each weighing forty catties, he couldn't help but be a little suspicious, can this firearm really blow up Yinchuan City?

"Li Shenjun said that Yinchuan City is built of mud, which is relatively easy to blow up, and the city tower of Shizhou City is old and has decayed, so it can be easily blown up, but the city wall of Shizhou is built with bluestone, and it is very difficult, and there are almost no traces of it."

Tong Guan said coldly: "Is this the reason why you can't ask for the formula?" To put it so badly. ”

Dai Yunyi was frightened, and hurriedly lowered his head, "Don't dare to be humble!" ”

Tong Guan's face softened slightly, and he patted the hard iron bump, "What is the power, just try to blow one up." ”

In the Douling Canyon, a gunpowder craftsman lit the fuse, turned around and ran wildly, and in the distance, Tong Guan and the generals stared solemnly at the stone house, which was a small room made of temporary stones, and the earth-shaking thunder was ignited in it.

Only for a moment, only to hear an earth-shattering explosion, the ground shook, the gravel flew around, white smoke filled, Tong Guan and the generals covered their ears one after another, hiding behind a huge thick plank, only to hear the debris flying from afar smashed the plank crackling, a soldier next to him screamed, fell to the ground softly, a flying stone just hit the forehead, the forehead hit a big hole, blood gushed out, the person has died of exhaustion.

After a while, the white smoke gradually cleared, and everyone walked out from behind the wooden planks, only to see that the stone house had become a pile of rubble, and only a little ruin remained.

In the midst of everyone's exclamations, Tong Guan's face turned iron-blue, such a good weapon, but said that the formula is gone, what does it mean to be a seed teacher?

Stepping on the cutting village, Brother Richard, the king of Jin, paced back and forth on the highest platform of the military camp with his hands, from which he could clearly see the Douling sixty miles away, and there was a muffled sound in the direction of Douling this morning, although it sounded very ordinary, but Richard Ge knew very well what the muffled sound from sixty miles away meant, if he was also at the scene, how thrilling it should be.

The Jianing Military Division captured a spy sent by Yinchuan City in the vicinity of Liuboling, and from the spies, they learned that the Song army was using a new type of firearm called 'Earthquake Thunder' to blow up Yinchuan City.

Could it be that Brother Richard had vaguely guessed that this must be the kind of earth-shattering thunder that killed Li Liangfu in Yinchuan City, and Tong Guan was also testing this powerful firearm.

Twenty years ago, when he was still 14 years old, he booby-trapped the royal family that held military power, so that the Empress Dowager Liang was isolated and had to commit suicide.

Li Qianshun has great trust in him, handed over the military power to him, five years ago, Liu Fa led the army into the hinterland of Western Xia, shaking the government and the opposition, Li Chage led 10,000 iron harrier cavalry to attack the Song camp at night, defeated the Song army, just half a month ago, he laid a net again, in one fell swoop wiped out the five thousand Song troops who came to the night attack, and the famous general Liu Fa finally died in his hands.

Although they successfully intercepted the Song army on the Western Front, on the Eastern Front, the Western Xia Army was defeated and retreated, forcing the king Li Qianshun to personally lead a large army to sit in Xiazhou, and the Western Front was handed over to Richard Brother, which made Richard feel great pressure on his shoulders.

How to deal with Tong Guan, Brother Richard probably had a plan in his heart, he wanted to take advantage of Tong Guan's desire to win and then lay a trap, but he needed to wait for the opportunity, and at the moment when there was a muffled sound in the Douling Canyon, Brother Richard felt that the time was ripe.

Two days later

Tong Guanqin led an army of 100,000 to arrive at the Ta Cut Village, the terrain of the Ta Cut Village is very dangerous, can only go up the mountain through a narrow path, as long as a small number of troops choke the top of the mountain road, even if tens of thousands of troops are difficult to attack, it can be called a man's pass, ten thousand people can not be opened.

However, unlike the first attack half a month ago, this time the Western Xia army temporarily built a pass in front of the mountain road, which cut off the road for the army to bypass the Ta Cut Village to the north of Weizhou, and there were hundreds of soldiers guarding the pass with strong bows and crossbows.

100,000 troops on the Western Front built a large camp two miles away from the mountain, Tong Guan stood on a big rock, squinting his eyes at the pass that the Western Xia army had just built, he could understand why the Western Xia army wanted to build this pass, because the main force of the Western Xia army Weizhou had moved east to Xiazhou, and Weizhou's troops were empty, in order to prevent the Song army from attacking Weizhou, so they built the pass to cut off the only way to Weizhou.

Tong Guan sneered, he happened to have a heaven-shaking thunder weapon, and the Western Xia Army sent a whetstone, what a clever arrangement from God!

At night, hundreds of elite Song army held high the big shield, under the cover of the night, are approaching the pass step by step, the pass is about two zhang high, ten zhang wide, is made of mud and wood, two hundred Western Xia soldiers are deployed on it, there is no city gate, obviously to block the Song army to the north.

"There is an enemy!"

The soldiers at the pass spotted the approaching enemy and shouted together, 'Dang! While! While! The alarm bell sounded loudly, which was to alert the defenders on the hill to the enemy's situation.

Two hundred soldiers raised their crossbows and fired at the Song soldiers, but the huge and thick shields of the Song army withstood the first wave of crossbow arrows.

Hundreds of Song soldiers accelerated abruptly, rushing towards the pass a hundred steps away, as they gradually approached the pass, the defenders on the pass gradually saw this somewhat strange Song army, they were not many, at most three hundred, everyone wore heavy armor, holding a huge shield and war knife, the strange thing is that since they came to attack the city, they did not bring a siege ladder, do they want to use a human ladder?

All the defenders were confused, but at this time they had no time to explore any more, and the Song soldiers had already killed, "Shoot arrows!" The garrison shouted at the head of the city, and two hundred soldiers again raised their crossbows and fired, but to no avail, and the shield wall covered the enemy so tightly that the arrows were fired at the shields.

Seeing that it had no effect, the guard immediately shouted: "Prepare spears and rolling logs"

The soldiers defending the city put down their crossbows one after another, picked up their spears, and prepared to assassinate the enemy soldiers who were climbing the city, while dozens of soldiers moved the pieces of rolling logs over.

At this time, the soldiers of the Song army finally approached the city, and the rolling logs on it were smashed, and the soldiers were constantly being smashed over, screaming and rolling downhill.

Dozens of people under the city used shields to resist the rolling logs, and several soldiers used iron pickaxes to dig desperately on the city wall, and in a short time they dug two holes one and a half feet square, and some soldiers stuffed two earth-shattering thunderbolts into it, 'Whew! The fire was blown and the fuse was lit, and some soldiers shouted: "Get out of here!" ”

Hundreds of Song soldiers rushed down the hillside, and several soldiers tripped over the rolling logs and rolled down the side of the hillside.

At this moment, a dazzling flash burst out from the city wall, followed by an earth-shattering explosion, the pass that had just been built for less than two days was blown to pieces, collapsed, and in the rising smoke, a slightly delayed earth-shattering thunder was blown up more than ten zhang high, and suddenly exploded in the air, wrapped in billowing black smoke in the dazzling red light, and the huge explosion sound made Tong Guan, who was two miles away, also feel that his ears were buzzing.

The soldiers covered their ears and squatted down, their hearts beating unbearably violently, and the two successive explosions completely collapsed the pass that had just been built, and most of the two hundred Western Xia defenders were killed, and even dozens of Song soldiers who ran a hundred steps away were stunned.

Tong Guan couldn't help but laugh proudly, the defenders on the mountain should understand what the power of firearms is!

As soon as it was dawn the next day, a soldier rushed to the big tent of the Chinese army to report, "Captain Qiyu, there is no movement in the cottage!" ”

Tong Guan, who was convening the generals to discuss the march into Weizhou, was stunned, and walked out of the big tent quickly, and the generals followed out.

It was indeed very quiet in the Ta Cutting Village, and a few wild pigeons were hovering in the sky, and Tong Guan immediately asked, "Have you sent someone up the mountain to investigate?" ”

"Returning to the big handsome, I've already gone!"

At this time, General Wang Weizhong said in a low voice: "It seems that something is wrong, it seems that the enemy army has withdrawn." ”

Tong Guan also felt this way, the mountain seemed to have become an empty village, could it be that last night's earth-shattering thunder scared the enemy army into retreating?

But it is not enough to just feel it, you must also get accurate information, and after a while, a spy rushed back, stepped forward and knelt down to report: "Commander Qiqi, the Western Xia army has retreated in a hurry, and the mountain is an empty village. ”

Tong Guan was overjoyed, and immediately shouted: "The whole army will set off and go north through the Ta Cutting Village!" ”

Several generals hurriedly persuaded: "Although the earth-shaking thunder is very shocking, the enemy will not be frightened to retreat because of this explosion, there must be fraud in it, please think twice!" ”

Tong Guan smiled proudly: "You don't need to persuade me, I know the reason, Weizhou is empty, they originally planned to retreat to Weizhou, but they couldn't make up their minds, it was our earth-shaking thunder who made up their minds for them, there will be no fraud, and the army will go north immediately." ”

Tong Guan immediately said to the general Wang Weizhong: "You lead 5,000 cavalry to go first, and capture Weizhou City for me as soon as possible!" ”

Wang Weizhong immediately led 5,000 cavalry to cross the Ta Cut Village, and rushed to Weizhou, a hundred miles away, Tong Guan and left the general Zhang Tao to lead 5,000 troops to guard the Ta Cut Village, and ordered the logistics army far away in Douling to follow and set off, he personally led the 90,000 troops to cross the Ta Cut Village, and impatiently went to the north to kill.
