Chapter Forty-Nine: The Stars Are Destroyed

A deafening explosion enveloped the entire camp.

Overwhelming clouds of dust and gravel struck the heads of the Black Flag soldiers who were lying in ambush to the north.

Pan Chongche's headquarters, which followed him, were shaken into chaos by the loud explosion.

The earth was trembling beneath his feet, his ears were buzzing, and he couldn't hear anything.

Pan Chongche and the 8,000 soldiers of the Jianwu Army stood stupidly in place, unresponsive for a long time.

After a while, Pan Chongche came to his senses and ordered the scouts to go to the camp to check.

In return, most of the strikers of the Jianwu Army were killed, and those who were alive were also shocked into idiots by the explosion, and there was no reaction to talking to them.

Pan Chongche began to be angry, and it was uncomfortable to be treated as a cheaper.

"The whole army pursued. Never die. ”

Even if there is an ambush ahead, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front, he will not hesitate to do so.

Eight thousand Jianwu troops went blind and delirious.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed through several miles and rushed out of the original Black Flag Army camp.

Pan Chongche stopped.

It's not that he doesn't want to chase, but he is blocked in his way.

The one who can stand in his way is naturally Baili Yi and his two thousand warriors.

Although Pan Chongche has a good impression of Bailiyi, but the fall of the three thousand strikers has thrown this good impression away, Pan Chongche doesn't care about life and death, but he cares that the death of these three thousand strikers is too ugly, and he is too embarrassed, so the enemy must pay the price.

After the Jianwu army followed, Pan Chongche waved his hand and issued an order.

It's still eight words: "The whole army charges." Never die. ”

Eight thousand against two thousand, there is no suspense.

Everyone in the Jianwu Army thinks so.

But the Black Flag soldiers didn't think so.

There was no mobilization, no encouragement, and the Black Flag soldiers began to disperse.

In the form of a long snake, under the leadership of Bailiyi, swept towards the 8,000 Jianwu army.

What is the sorrow of life, and what is the pain of death.

The soldiers of the Black Flag Army are never afraid of death, but only seek a place to die.

The 2,000 lives for the army successfully returned to Tanzhou, and it was worth it.

Pan Chongche, who did not charge, began to have a good impression of the Black Flag Army general again.

Even if he understands that he is sending him to death, he is so fearless.

But soon Pan Chongche was shocked again.

Another violent explosion sounded from the junction of the two armies......

……。

Two huge explosions also roared in the ears of the Black Flag Army, which had retreated thirty miles north.

Everyone was in tears, and everyone knew what the explosion meant.

Everyone knows that the Black Flag Army's retreat this time actually left one of its own commanders there.

No army that claims to be elite can calmly abandon its commander, even the deputy commander.

This will eventually be a lifelong disgrace for the soldiers of the Black Flag Army.

A shame that cannot be washed away even by blood and life.

The sobs began gradually.

But the pace of his feet is alternating faster.

The sobs of nearly 40,000 people rippled on the official road for a long time.

Only Yun Yang didn't shed tears, he only hoped to return to Tanzhou in time, and only hoped that when he arrived in Tanzhou, Ziqing was still there.

If you can't catch up, won't the hundred miles of righteousness and the two thousand warriors die in vain?

If you can't catch up, is there still a need for these 40,000 troops to exist?

What face do you have to see Bailiyi?

Maybe...... No, there is no possibility, and it will definitely catch up.

……。

December 25 night.

Night shrouded the sky over Tanzhou City.

In the past three days, there were no less than ten attacks and defenses, which reduced Gao Baorong's Jingnan Army by nearly thirty percent.

But this was not enough to affect the strength of the Jingnan Army, nor was it enough to affect Gao Baorong's confidence.

Before sending troops south, Old Man Sun had calculated very clearly, when Baili Wuji sent a three-way army to the south, Old Man Sun had already calculated clearly, so Peng Shichou, who had secretly contacted for a long time, rebelled, so the Ma brothers, who had been secretly in contact for a long time, began to rebel, so Zhang Ye, who had secretly contacted Wu Xinjiedu of Shu for a long time, began to attack Qingzhou, Ziqing, Old Man Sun was really powerful, he said that the army you left in Tanzhou City was no more than 6,000, did you say he guessed right?

On the contrary, the confidence of Gao Baorong began to rise.

Because he saw that in the last siege of the city today, the number of wheel cannons on the city wall of Tanzhou was significantly less.

Perhaps, starting tomorrow, there will be hope to break through Tanzhou City.

……。

In the city of Tanzhou.

Baili Wuji, Xu Shiming, Bailikang and others were sitting still, thinking about how to defend the city tomorrow.

The stock of wheel shells has been depleted. Although the Ordnance Bureau rushed to produce it day and night, it could not keep up with the speed of consumption at all.

From tomorrow we will have to rely on grenades and crossbows.

Perhaps this is the biggest flaw of firearms.

Baili Wuji smiled bitterly in his heart.

Cold weapons still occupy everyone's field of vision.

But everyone knows that the range of the bow and crossbow is more than half less than that of the wheel artillery, and the distance of more than 20 zhang, if the Jingnan army charges on a large scale, it will not be able to stop them from approaching the city wall.

Baili Wuji prayed in his heart, hoping that this batch of firearms would be damp as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the city wall is lost, Tanzhou will be really dangerous.

"Da Lang, it's better to recruit some strong people in Tanzhou City to participate in the defense of Tanzhou City." Brilicom proposed.

"Lord, the commander of Baili is reasonable."

Baili Wuji knows that this move may not be effective, not to mention that it is impossible for the people to risk their lives to participate in the defense of the city, even if they are willing, how useful are these untrained civilians on the city wall?

If the people are unwilling, then they can only be forcibly requisitioned, and the bad reputation will not have much effect.

"Then let's call it up, but don't let the strong ...... fight unless it is absolutely necessary. Just let them help deliver grenades or something. Baili Wuji said casually.

……。

In fact, Baili Wuji is too worried.

There was not a single firearm in Gao Baorong's barracks.

As early as before leaving, Gao Baorong ordered people to try a few firearms, but none of them could blow up the .......

Sun Guangxian is really a talent, if it weren't for my father's death, this old man wouldn't have given me advice, and now it seems that Old Man Sun's strategy really works. Gao Baorong was very excited at this time, and it was very likely that the firearms in Tanzhou City had been exhausted.

Ziqing, can you still sleep tonight? You have worked hard to capture the state of Chu, and in the end, it will also fall into the hands of this king.

Tomorrow, tomorrow this king will attack Tanzhou with the power of thunder, and see what you rely on to resist.

How good it is to be under the command of this king, but unfortunately you don't know how to lift, tomorrow Tanzhou will fall, this king will remember his childhood friendship, and he will definitely reward you with a whole corpse. The state of Chu, the state of Chu is also the king's.

Ha Lu Ha ...... Ha Lu Ha. Gao Baorong laughed hysterically and slowly burst into tears. God knows what he did, killing his father and usurping the throne, killing his brother to vent his anger.

No, ......this king is the son of the world, the throne was originally mine, Gao Baoxun's beast killed the king's mother, and this king is ...... revenge. There is also that Baili child, the minister bullies the king, for the sake of the society, this king has to do this, this king is right, this king is not wrong.......

Gao Baorong suppressed his voice and roared wildly, his eyes no longer looked like normal people.

I don't really want to do that....... Gao Baorong began to cry.
