Chapter Thirty-Eight: Explosion, Abandonment of the City

A group of soldiers patrolled the arsenal of the city, and even when the battle was at its most fierce on the other side of the city walls, they remained unmoved, because it contained the most important weapons resources of the city. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Inside the arsenal, the light was a little dim, quiet, and only the shadows of those swords and spears could be faintly seen in the darkness.

"Poof", a soft sound sounded in the arsenal, like a stone thrown into the calm lake, instantly breaking the silence inside.

In the darkness, a small piece of ground in the arsenal suddenly caved downward, revealing a dark hollow with cold air constantly coming out of it.

"Smack", a hand suddenly reached out from under the ground and landed on the ground, followed by a second hand, and then a man covered in dirt slowly climbed up from inside.

In the darkness, in the caverns underground, five black figures emerged one after another.

"The box is here, hurry up and get this thing out!" The sound of the rat sounded, followed by a slight movement, and two people gently lifted the box to the cave ** on top, and the other three answered below and moved the box down.

The rat let out a silent laugh, took an identical box from the burrow, and put it back in its original place. One of the boxes contained a bundle of explosives, and the long lead was pulled out of the box and through the hole and into the cavern.

At this time, the battle was at its most intense, and the artillery shells continued to bombard the city. Outside the arsenal, there was a lot of cannons, and the soldiers in Tuyuhun were in chaos, and there were constantly people shouting loudly outside. The rat waved his hand, and everyone quickly retreated, and then carefully covered the ground with dirt, leaving only a small space for the lead to enter.

"Bang", the rats in the hole lit a fire, and the dark space immediately became bright.

The two boxes were tied up with ropes, then the wooden wheels prepared in advance were taken out and fixed in the hidden compartment prepared at the bottom of the two boxes, and then quickly pushed the boxes back along the same path.

The rat turned around and lit the lead, watched the sparks burn quickly along the lead to the ground, and quickly ran into the tunnel, and when he ran for about fifty meters, he groped for a rope on the wall, pulled hard, and with a "boom", a huge stone just slipped down from a sloping passage next to it, and just fell behind the mice, completely blocking the passage to Fu Qi City.

"Let's go!" The rat threw away the fire fold in his hand, estimating that the lead was about to burn out, and shouted, urging the people in front of him to speed up.

Inside the dark arsenal, a bright spark crawled on the ground, making a "sizzling" sound, spreading rapidly from the ground to the inside of the chest, and it had burned to the outside of the chest.

At this time, the injured King of Tianzhu was rushing here with Murong Shun on horseback from the head of the city, and all the elite soldiers and generals of Fu Qi City were gathered here to prepare for the final decisive battle with the Tang army.

Before the Tianzhu King arrived, a loud voice had already been heard from afar: "Everyone listen to the order, immediately open the arsenal, distribute crossbows and grenades and other weapons, and the time has come for a decisive battle with the enemy!" ”

"Squeak!" The heavy door of the arsenal was slowly opened, and the night was like water, pouring in from the outside, and the sound of "zizz" was particularly harsh in this quiet night.

The eyes of the soldiers who opened the door of the arsenal widened, their pupils contracted, and they saw a large black wooden box inside that was enveloped in a huge flame, and then expanded rapidly, and finally like a huge monster being released from inside, they couldn't see or feel anything in front of them except for the dazzling red and white light!

"Boom"!

A huge explosion resounded throughout the city, and the room where the weapons depot was located was shattered by the shock wave emitted by the explosion of gunpowder, and countless pieces of wood turned into devils who ran for their lives, taking the lives of the surrounding soldiers in an instant!

A mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and then the entire ground shook, and the ground on the other side of the arsenal even caved straight down, and the sky-high fire lit up the entire night sky!

King Tianzhu and Murong Shun, who were on the way, were once again affected by the aftermath of the oncoming explosion, and the horses under the seat were frightened, neighed, and knelt directly on the ground. A piece of debris that flew from that side directly knocked a soldier who couldn't dodge behind him into the air, and nailed him to the ground and died!

When the explosion was over, the Tianzhu King and Murong Shun stood up and looked stupidly at the fire a few hundred meters in front of them, where the ground had sunk deeply, and the original weapons depot had also turned into a sea of fire, and the Tuyuhun soldiers stationed around were all gone.

"It's over, it's all over!" Murong Shun looked at the hell-like scene in front of him, his hands and feet immediately became cold and weak, and he suddenly fell to the ground, his eyes were glazed, and he said repeatedly.

The King of Tianzhu looked at the city of Fuqi, which had fallen into the sea of fire, and listened to the panicked cries of the residents in the city, and suddenly felt that the sky was spinning, and he was about to fall down if he stumbled, but fortunately, the guards next to him saw the opportunity quickly and immediately held him up.

"Go back, go back to the palace immediately, we will immediately abandon Fu Qi City and retreat!" The Heavenly Pillar King gritted his teeth and roared, his lower lip being bitten and bleeding unconsciously.

He looked at the people around him staring at him with wide eyes, and immediately said angrily: "Didn't you hear, abandon the city of Fuqi, and immediately retreat with the khan!" ”

Murong Shun suddenly stood up at this time, grabbed the sleeve of the Heavenly Pillar King, stared at the latter fiercely, and said through gritted teeth: "Why retreat, we still have a chance, right?" ”

King Tianzhu looked at Murong Shun, pulled his hand that grabbed his sleeve away, and then said coldly: "If His Highness insists on defending the city, this king will never stop His Highness!" The Tang army has already set a trap in Fu Qi City, and we don't have any chance of victory, so I hope Your Highness will do it yourself! ”

Looking at the ground that could not have been dented by the explosion, the Heavenly Pillar King had already expected that he had been deceived by Shui Anyi! I bought so many sophisticated weapons, I thought it was to save my life, but in the end it became a life-saving thing, which is really ridiculous!

In the palace of Fu Qi City, Murong Fu Yun stood at the highest point of the imperial city and looked down, only to see that Fu Qi City had turned into a sea of fire. Suddenly, a fire broke out on the other side of the city wall, and the sound of tearing and killing resounded in the sky from a distant place. Immediately after, a loud explosion came from the side of the city wall, and then the flames rose into the sky. Murong Fuyun recognized that it was the place where the barracks were located, and his hands holding on to the railing began to tremble.

"Come on, withdraw from Fuqi City!" (To be continued.) )
