Chapter 191: Black Fire Breaks Courage
Ten days later, in the evening, Zilong came to the city of Yanzhou with a mighty army, and bluntly asked Du Luozhou to come out to speak.
Du Luo Zhou stood at the head of the city tremblingly, unwilling to go down the city wall to go out of the city to speak, and lure Zilong into the cityhead shooting boundary, but unfortunately Zilong is not a fool.
Since you don't come down, that Zilong doesn't force it, he clapped his hands with a smile, and three strong men stood out behind him, each with a strong bow, majestic and majestic.
Zilong's head waved, signaling them to move, the three of them bowed respectfully and saluted, the first person stood up and shot his bow in the direction of the city, and someone had already sent a torch next to him to shake under the arrow.
As soon as the fire started, the strong man hurriedly loosened the bowstring, only to hear a "pop" sound, the arrow was shot, and the soldiers at the head of the city saw it and were dumbfounded, who could he hit when he shot arrows there?
Seeing that the arrow brought out a flash of fire in the air, suddenly accelerated, and flew towards the city wall in a daze, and the arrow that could not have been shot on the city wall was shot straight towards the city tower at an astonishing speed.
In the incredible eyes of everyone, the arrow shot into the blue bricks of the city tower, and there was a tremor, and the Yanzhou soldiers looked at it and were dumbfounded, this, what is the situation?
What bow and arrow can shoot so far? How strong does it take to wield such a strong bow and crossbow?
When they were in a daze, they suddenly heard a loud noise, and the Yanzhou soldiers who were staring at the arrows in the city suddenly flashed a bright light in front of them, like thunder and lightning, the arrow feathers disappeared, turned into countless debris, and the green bricks were blown out of a pit, although it was not deep, but it was shocking to see.
A puff of smoke and dust dissipated, and Du Luo Zhou sat down on the ground, and said with a trembling mouth: "Fire, gunpowder!" ”
At that time, gunpowder had already been invented in the world, but not many people in the north knew about it, and the people in the capital of Nanliang could also see the strange effect of gunpowder.
It's just that what they see is only the firecrackers used to celebrate during the New Year's Festival, and all kinds of strange sparks can be painted in the sky, which is very beautiful.
Some wealthy nobles in the north will also have some gunpowder to make firecrackers, because the gunpowder is pitch black, also known as black fire.
However, no one had ever thought that this thing could be used to make weapons, and it was surprising that the small amount of weight that an arrow could carry could cause such an obvious effect.
In the eyes of some soldiers from poor backgrounds, this is simply a palm thunder that only immortals can grasp in myths and legends.
For a while, all the soldiers in the city were talking, and Du Luo Zhou was already a little distracted, and the impact of this blow on him was too strong.
At this time, the second strong man had already opened his bow and arrows, and this time someone also lit the arrow with a torch, but the arrow seemed to be just burning, and he didn't see the same electric light.
I saw Zilong wave his big hand, and the strong man turned around, aiming at a small dirt bag that suddenly appeared not far away, two of them were loosened, and the rocket flew out and shot straight at the hay under the soil bag.
The fire was lit, the hay burned quickly, and the Yanzhou army in the city didn't quite understand, what was the purpose of this? The arrow didn't explode, and it was hundreds or thousands of steps away from the city, so what threat could it be?
Just in confusion, he suddenly saw an obvious wisp of green smoke rising from the firelight, and after a few breaths, after a deafening loud noise, the dust flew, and even the horses under the crotch of the cavalry of the Zilong Army who were close were in a panic.
When the smoke and dust cleared, the soldiers in the city came back to their senses in the loud noise, looked at the dirt bag, widened their eyes, and rubbed their eyes twice with the back of their hands.
"That person is a youkai, right? Or is he holding the bow and arrow of the gods in his hand? ”
"I don't know, it's a dirt bag, why did it disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye?"
"What's more, look at the ground, there is a big pit, it seems to have burned inside, and it is black!"
……
Everyone began to talk, looking at the countless soldiers densely packed outside the city, and a feeling of uneasiness rose in their hearts, and then a third person opened his bow and arrows, and the same rocket flew into the air.
The Yanzhou army at the head of the city looked up to see what tricks they were going to come up with this time, and even Du Luozhou couldn't help but look up, and suddenly there was an explosion in the air, sparks flew everywhere, and then ......
Then there was no then, but after Yanzhou Jun watched the first two thrilling displays, how dare he believe that the third time would be so simple?
The neck was a little sore, but there was still no vision, so that everyone couldn't help but hang their hearts and didn't dare to put it down.
Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from far and near, which became more and more obvious in the ears of the Yanzhou army.
Yanzhou Jun stared at the changing sky with a frightened face, thinking that the arrow just now had actually attracted heavenly punishment, and he couldn't help but stop breathing.
The wind is still blowing again, getting bigger and bigger, the clouds are changing, more and more frequent, but the heart-wrenching heavenly punishment has not come for a long time, and everyone seems to be relieved, but this sound is getting closer and closer, and it makes people panic.
"Look!"
I don't know who it is, I finally shouted, and slowly one after another Yanzhou sergeants followed the voice, saw the stunned soldier, and looked in the direction of his finger.
A row of sixteen catapults, the quilt dragon army slowly pushed up to the first line, no more, no less, just stopped a step outside the city wall, immediately a soldier came up, hey
The orb looked like it was wrapped in cloth, and a long lead hung from the outside, and the soldiers on the city wall panicked!
"What are they carrying on catapults? It can't be those things, right? ”
"Who knows, what are we pretending, we are also waiting for death here, it is better to escape!"
"Where's the set? Didn't you see the power of that thing? Even if you go down the city wall, I'm afraid I can blow you to pieces! ”
……
The uneasy emotion, like ink dripping into water, spreads rapidly, and everyone's heart seems to hang a knife that may fall at any time, and some people who are not strong in their minds are crying out wildly.
Du Luozhou was also nervous in his heart at this time, but in front of all the soldiers, he had to stand up, no matter what method he used, he couldn't let the army's morale collapse, especially when the other party only dispatched three people and sixteen catapults.
"Shut up for me, where is the official on duty today? But those who dare to confuse the hearts of the army again will be killed! ”
An order was given, but there was no response for a long time, and Duro looked down on Thursday and suddenly found a man wearing a general's uniform on the city wall, trotting all the way down the city wall and running towards the city.
His face trembled, Du Luo Zhou angrily pulled over a small soldier and shouted: "From now on, you are the official of Yanzhou City, immediately arrest the original official who retreated from the battle, behead the public, and this king will have a heavy reward!" ”
"Haha...... Du Luo Zhou, if you don't want to die with the city, just open the city gate and surrender, and use your power with the soldiers, you are really promising! (To be continued.) )
