I don't know if it's Feng Meng's responsibility, or because of the disadvantage of the Xiaoguo Army's eastward crusade. The imperial court has a lot of confidence, in addition to bluntly letting the Xiaoguo army withdraw from Jizhou, it also has the posture of transferring troops to the north.

It is too arrogant for a courtier to dare to threaten the court, and the court is not dough, no matter how others pinch it.

Immediately afterwards, Jin Wuwei, an army originally stationed in Chang'an and had been responsible for pacifying the rebellion in Liangzhou, also marched towards Luoyang under the leadership of Pinglianghou. In Yanzhou, the southern part of Bingzhou, and the eastern part of Yongzhou, the government army began to stir up slightly, and there was a great intention of mobilizing troops to encircle and suppress the Xiaoguo army, a chaotic minister and thief.

And the Xiaoguo Army did not react to this, and the five prefectures in the north of Jizhou still recruited and trained, and also held the slogan of attacking the barbarians in the north, which made it impossible for people to accuse the Xiaoguo Army of private placement soldiers from the general righteousness.

The Xuzhou army, which occupies most of the world in Xuzhou, took advantage of the matter of Zhao Xun and Xiaoguo Army to bluntly talk about the darkness of the court, and he didn't do anything about it, and he also framed Zhongliang. So he spread the word to the world, invited the Xiaoguo army to participate in the righteous deeds, for the benefit of the people of the world, and reduced taxes and distributed fields.

Xiaoguo Jun did not respond to the Xuzhou Army's text, but he did not refute it either. Instead, he made a statement with the actual situation, and directly solved the Wuwei army that was trapped in the city that night in Yuyang Mansion and went to be a slave......

The imperial court was in a hurry, and finally rejected the reward envoy at the beginning of July and went to Youzhou.

"Siege!"

Four city gates, the Yan army abandoned the east side, and the three city gates launched a fierce attack.

Standing on the city wall, Zhao Xun looked at the dense human heads outside the city, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but sneer secretly. The more you come, the easier it will be to deal with you later.

"Hu Xiang, how is our powder keg ready?"

"My lord, it's all transported to the city wall."

In order to achieve the greatest effect, in addition to the bundled explosives packets and the bombs in clay pots, Zhao Xun directly asked the carpenter to make wooden barrels to hold the gunpowder, so as not to break lightly.

Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "Bao Muyang, after our army launched an attack with the earth-shattering thunder in a while, the Fifth Mansion Army and the soldiers reorganized by the people and Zhuang will divide into two routes and kill the North City and the West City, and the Li Chenfeng First Government Army, which has already been best prepared outside the city, will cooperate with you, and will also send troops to attack the small number of men and horses in the South City and the East City. The explosives bag in the hand should also be thrown when the enemy army gathers up to resist, breaking the opponent's will to resist. ”

Bao Muyang's face was full of excitement, nodded and said, "Lord, don't worry, there is no problem!" ”

"By the way, let the three thousand soldiers of the baggage battalion also accompany you, waving more flags behind you, waving flags and shouting!"

"Obey!"

"Han Meng, order the trebuchet to throw crockpots and barrels!"

"Obey!"

In the north and west cities, in the direction of the focus of the Yan army, dozens of trebuchets stood on the city. Next to the trebuchet, there is a clay pot the size of a human head, and a round wooden barrel with a thickness of one foot.

Next to these trebuchets were the guards of the Guards, who were to keep them from being approached by the flames.

"The Lord has an order to throw clay pots and barrels."

"Obey!" The fruit chief of the trebuchet department commanded.

"All ready, projection!"

"Hoo ......"

The soldier who operated the trebuchet pulled the mechanism, and the clay pots and barrels were thrown one after the other. Suddenly, large and small stone bullet-like objects in the sky were thrown, and then fell among the soldiers who were becoming more and more crowded outside the city. Because it is necessary to eliminate more soldiers and soldiers, after strong resistance two days ago, there is no rain of arrows covering the besieging enemy army today, giving people the impression that the Xiaoguo army in the city is underarmed. As a result, there were more and more soldiers under the city, and under the crazy roar of begging for help, the whole army had the meaning of breaking through the Xiaoguo army today.

"Bang Bang ......"

For trebuchets, the soldiers were naturally very careful, at the beginning. More than a dozen black spots appeared in the sky, and they thought it was a stone bullet fired by the Xiaoguo Army, so they hurriedly dodged, but after landing, they found that it was not a stone at all, but a black clay pot and a wooden barrel.

Among them, a large part of the clay pots were directly smashed. A lot of black powder came out of it. When the clay pot rolled, the black powder was poured everywhere. The ground, the barrels, and the soldiers were covered with black ash.

On top of the clay pots and barrels that had not been cracked, there were several short ropes hanging on them, and I don't know what they were used for. Some people curiously picked up the clay pot and found that it was a stone heart, which should be full of things.

"What is this?"

The soldiers found that the black ash was a little choking.

What is this? Naturally, no one can give an answer, and no one will know what it is. However, it is clear that these things did not cause harm to the siege army of the Spirits.

"Order, let all the ladders go up, and today we will rest in the city!" After hearing that his subordinates reported that the Xiaoguo army actually used wooden barrels and clay pots as counterattack weapons, he gave a sharp order.

The north city and the west city gathered the main force of the Yan army, 130,000 people, of which 80,000 were in these two directions, and on each side, more than 100 temporary cloud ladders were carried out and ran towards the city wall, and the soldiers and soldiers of the Yan Yan also came towards the city wall without any scruples.

However, the Devils on the walls did not fight back, except for the trebuchet soldiers who were still happy to throw the strange clay pots and barrels. Soon after, the whole city was covered with black ash except for the round barrels and some clay pots that had not been cracked.

Even there was a strange smell wafting in the air, as if there was a smell of sulfur, and the smell of chili pepper, but I couldn't be sure, because the smell was neutralized, and besides, the sulfur powder was yellow, and the paprika was dark red, and the powder was black.

This kind of thing is quite colorful, and it is pitch black when you touch it. For this kind of thing that is not too lethal, the soldiers of the Yan Yan did not treat him seriously, but said to each other, the Xiaoguo army in this city has no weapons, and it seems that it is not a problem to attack Andong City.

Not only were the incomprehensible troops outside the city, but even the defenders in the city did not understand. Except for using the giant shield to fend off the bow and arrows and killing the soldiers of the Warriors in Yuecheng, there was no other action.

"Warriors, the Xiaoguo army in the city has no weapons, and they have smashed us with these rotten clay pots and barrels. Today we take the city of Andong, and the whole army indulges the three of them. Kill me! ”

"Kill...... Indulge for three days! ”

This slogan not only made the faces of the Xiaoguo army in the city change slightly, but even the faces of the 30,000 soldiers of the heavy battalion also changed greatly.

Speaking of these clay pots and wooden barrels, they are not completely useless, at least they play a role in stumbling people. Some of the soldiers thought he was annoying, so they kicked him over and kicked him over.

Of course, there are also some people who are uncomfortable, mainly those who are directly hit by the black powder, and the eyes are still secondary, mainly because these powders are like soot, which makes people very uncomfortable, all of them are black, and there is a choking smell.

The black powder was still being sprinkled, and the clay pots and wooden barrels were also being thrown out in a steady stream, as if the Yan army didn't care about these at all, what they wanted at the moment was to break through the city and indulge for three days.

Looking at the soldiers who were getting closer and closer, Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "Let the soldiers throw down the clay pots and wooden barrels behind the city wall!" ”

Throw these things out before the Stamen Soldiers arrive? Although the soldiers were a little puzzled, they didn't dare to disobey the military order and threw these things out of the city.

The actions of the Xiaoguo Army made the soldiers of the Yan Ya a little puzzled, I haven't arrived yet, why are you throwing things down?

"Isn't this Xiaoguo army crazy?"

Outside the city walls, hundreds of meters away, the ground was covered with small wooden barrels and clay pots, on which there was also a patch of black ash.

Looking at the roaring soldiers outside the city, Zhao Xun sneered: "Laugh, laugh, let you know the function of these things in a while, you will be the real ones of my Xiaoguo army's gunpowder weapons, and the first enemy to understand their power." ”

The reason why the clay pots were thrown outside the city and made them break was nothing more than to make it easier for them to ignite the fire. As long as this thing is sprinkled on the ground, a little spark will ignite the bombs around it. In addition, gunpowder poured on people can also burn enemy troops.
