Chapter 268: The Battle to Get Out of Trouble (Part II)
>,!
After Zhu Wen gathered his troops and generals, he was about to launch an attack, when the thunder in the west of the city surprised him very much, how could this Li Yan be so fast and already fight with the city?
Zhu Wen called Chen Si, the head of the guards around him, and said, "Why did Li Yan's side fight so quickly, you take someone to see how the battle is going over there?" If there is an abnormality, it will always be reported. ○”
Chen Si nodded in agreement, got on his horse and galloped away, while Zhu Wen commanded his subordinates to start a strong attack.
When Chen Si arrived at the camp in the west of the city, he was startled by the tragic situation in front of him.
What the hell is going on, I saw a sea of fire in the camp to the west of the city, and it was a mess everywhere. The soldiers fled in all directions, suffering countless casualties, because the thunder was so loud that the moans and cries of the soldiers were almost inaudible.
Seeing that the camp in the west of the city had fallen to such a point, he immediately rode his horse to the vicinity of the camp, and he wanted to find someone to ask what was going on.
Riding his horse and running into the camp, he didn't see a few figures, the distant explosion and thunder continued, he looked up and saw the big sphere in the air and the big bamboo basket below, someone threw things down from time to time, and the things that fell from above would explode on the ground.
Chen Si knew that this thunderbolt must be some kind of powerful weapon, but this power was too great, and more than 10,000 people in the camp in the west of the city were made out of army by the monster in the air.
After a while, the monster in the air actually turned around and flew away in Chang'an City again. Chen Si breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said in his heart that it would be safe now.
He immediately dismounted, intending to find a soldier and ask where Li Yan, the commander of the camp in the west of the city, was.
Chen Si rummaged through many tents and searched for the undead in the pile of corpses, but these wounded were either frightened by the explosion and lost their minds, or they didn't know where the main general was because their level was too low.
Chen Si was very anxious, could it be that Li Yan had been killed by a thunderbolt? However, although the camp in the west of the city suffered a lot after being attacked, the number of casualties was indeed not much.
In the entire camp, all he saw was a few hundred dead, and those who were left should have been scared away by the mines. Now that the lights are dark, these people definitely don't know where to go.
Forget it, it's time to report to Zhu Jun'an, the people in Chang'an City are full of weirdness, and he must persuade Zhu Jun's envoy to stop the army and strictly guard the camp, otherwise when he encounters that monster in the air, the Chinese army will also be defeated.
As soon as Chen Si was about to get on his horse and leave, he heard the shouts of the army fighting from the west, and he wondered in his heart, could it be that the reinforcements of the Tang army had arrived at this time?
Chen Si called a personal entourage behind him, "Where are you going back to the camp, tell Zhu Junenvoy everything that happened here, and let him prepare early, the Tang army already has reinforcements." ”
After the explanation, Chen Si continued to go west to inquire about the news, and went back to the main camp to report the news.
Chen Si didn't run far to the west, when he heard a movement in front of him, he waved his hand, let a few soldiers behind him dismount, and then slowly touched along the dense forest.
When I got closer, I saw a group of sergeants fighting against a group of recalcitrant men. However, it is not a fierce fight, because those besieged in the middle are obviously panicked, and it seems that those who are besieged are the rout of the camp to the west of the city.
However, the soldiers besieging them saw that they should be dressed as Tang Army, and they were very excited, ignoring the begging of the besieged soldiers for mercy, they took out a hand/crossbow from their bodies one after another, and fired them one by one at the wailing begging for mercy.
Those people's hands/crossbows are so amazing that they can fire in bursts. And as many as ten rounds. This kind of hand/crossbow is so peculiar. Could it be that this is the legendary Zhuge God Crossbow?
Isn't this kind of divine weapon lost since the return of the Three Kingdoms to Jin, why can the Tang Army have such a divine weapon?
Chen Si thought of the monsters in the air when he first arrived at the camp in the west of the city, could it be that these were all made by the mysterious King Ji, oh my God, who is this King Ji?
Chen Si felt that this place was getting more and more dangerous, and he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he immediately went out of the forest and turned over and got on the horse. I heard someone shouting not far away.
"Where is the person in front," the other party was also a cavalryman, and he was still carrying a torch, Chen Si didn't dare to answer, he borrowed the other party's torch, looked carefully, and he was shocked at a glance.
The torch team on the opposite side has a long line, and at first glance, there are no less than a thousand long lines of torches. He immediately turned his horse's head and galloped back. The cavalry who asked the question was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that the one who fled must be a thief.
So they whistled and immediately rode their horses in pursuit.

Li Bao stood on the gate tower of Xicheng, looking at the camp of the peasant army in the west of the city not far from the city, he had a smile on his face, Zhang Chengfan and Hu Sanbao were also full of smiles, this time the hot air balloon was Li Bao's idea.
This hot air balloon was originally intended to be used by him to escape in case the hit did not go well, but the effect of this high-altitude bomb is much stronger than that of ordinary artillery.
It's just that it's hard to control the direction at high altitude, and there can't be windy weather, let alone rain and snow. However, the weather was fine tonight, and the moonlight was not clear, but it was just right for his breakthrough plan.
The peasant army outside the city is not very useful, a few rounds of grenades scared them to scatter and flee for their lives, the ancients were most jealous of ghosts and gods, gunpowder as thunder, all this in front of them is the best comment on the phrase "no culture is terrible".
Li Bao turned his head to Zhang Chengfan and said, "Did Zhang Xiaojun send reinforcements from outside the city to arrive?" ”
"It should have arrived, and someone had already been sent to pick them up just now, but at this time, most of them were chasing the thieves who fled in the west of the city," Zhang Chengfan said softly.
"You quickly send someone to find Zhang Duwei and Yang Feilong to make them, let them leave those routs alone, and quickly assemble the team, since this hot air balloon is so easy to use, let's teach Zhu Wen a good lesson under the city tonight."
"Order!"
Zhang Chengfan happily agreed, and he immediately went downstairs, this military man has been depressed in the city for so long, and today he can teach the thieves under the city a good lesson, he immediately became full of style, and wanted to show his skills.
Li Bao saw that Zhang Chengfan was so happy, he was also happy, and then he said to Hu Sanbao: "When Zhang Duwei and the others arrive, you immediately inform Zhao Dayin and them to open the three gates of Xicheng and let the people leave on their own." We're gone this time and we're not going to come back. ”
Hu Sanbao immediately nodded in agreement.
Li Bao looked at the sky outside the city, the cold air, and the smell of freedom also exuded at this time. Haha, my brother will be free soon, as long as he finishes tonight's battle.

Before the Chinese army led by Zhu Wen could set up a position, they heard a report from their own soldiers: "There is a flying monster in Chang'an City, and it can also throw palm thunder from above." The camp to the west of the city has been completely destroyed by the palm thunder of that monster. The camp was already empty, and reinforcements from the Don Army came. ”
When Zhu Wen heard the "reinforcements", he immediately panicked, these Tang troops were so cunning, the scouts he sent didn't even find the shadow of the reinforcements, those people in the city were so honest, they were waiting for this day. What should I do?
Zhu Wen immediately made a decision, and he said to the soldiers who reported the news: "You quickly go to the two camps in the east and north of the city to inform Zhang Guihou and Zhu Zhen, and order them to immediately gather troops to the Chinese army." Be sure to be fast! ”
The soldiers immediately received the order to report the news, and Zhu Wen ordered again, and the army that had been dispatched slowly returned to the camp. But his efforts were a little late, and a huge sphere slowly appeared at the head of Chang'an City.
The big ball slowly flew in the direction of his own camp, Zhu Wen was shocked, he was stunned for a while, and then turned his brain, that is the monster that the soldiers said will throw palm thunder.
"What about archers? What about crossbowmen? Shoot that thing in the sky. Hurry!" Zhu Wen shouted, his voice also broken because of excitement, but everyone would pay attention to this at this time.
In the middle army south of the city, more than 20,000 people stared at the flying monsters that were constantly moving in the air, and when they heard the order, the officers at all levels urged their crossbowmen to act quickly. They trembled and picked up their bows and arrows and crossbows, but the fear in their hearts made them no longer have the courage and strength to start work.
Zhu Wen couldn't care anymore, and he snatched a bow from his own soldiers. This bow was a three-stone bow, Zhu Wen pulled it all over, and shot an arrow at the big bamboo basket in the air, and the arrow stared at the big bamboo basket.
The people above couldn't help but sneer, "Haha, you dead thieves, you still want to shoot grandpa?" Dream on! ”
The big balloon was only a dozen feet high, and what the people above said could still be heard, and the people inside were so rampant that Zhu Wen was even more angry. He said angrily: "Shoot them quickly, don't be afraid, you can shoot so-and-so, what are you afraid of?" ”
The people above also heard Zhu Wen's words, and he laughed even more rampantly, "Haha, the one below is Zhu Wen, you jumping beam clown, you can't jump for a few days, His Royal Highness King Ji said that he will take your dog's head in a few days!" ”
After the man above finished speaking, he began to throw things from above, smoking, black jar-like things. Throw it down. Some of those cans exploded on the ground, and some caught fire on the ground.
The peasant army in the Chinese army camp was completely chaotic, they did not know how to deal with this heavenly enemy, and no one dared to stand and wait for the thunder to fall from the sky to kill them.
People were howling and neighing, and there was chaos, and no one knew where it was safe, so they had to look for a place to hide.
Zhu Wen still wanted to be under the command, but at this time, his subordinates, who were obedient on weekdays, could no longer be found, and his personal guards protected him and asked him to find a place to hide.
Zhu Wen still wanted to stiffen up, but the guards around him were constantly killed or injured in the thunderstorms falling from high altitudes, and he didn't dare to pretend to be a good man anymore, so he followed the guards to ride a war horse and run away.
When Zhu Wen was dodging and fleeing, he still didn't forget to think, what kind of weapon is this explosive mine, why is it so powerful?
Just as Zhu Wen was thinking, he heard a shout from the front: "Where are you going to flee from the rebellious ministers and thieves?" ”
Zhu Wen fixed his eyes and saw that the ambush soldiers had gathered in front of him, and he sighed in his heart: My life is on the line, and I am afraid that I will have to explain here today!
