Text Chapter 620 Blown up to fear

Several packages of explosives exploded at the same time, and the area was almost as wide as it covered the position of a city wall, which was somewhat similar to an indiscriminate attack, unless some soldiers with great luck, most of them were attacked, and even the general Che Guan, who was leading the team to attack, was unfortunately blown up by the explosives, he was still shouting the word kill with his mouth open, but then the explosives exploded, and the ladder under his feet was cut in two, and at the moment of his fall, a sharp iron thistle was pierced on his chest, Before he could make any action in the future, his life would have been wiped out.

The sudden explosives, the roar seemed to be still ringing in the ears, and the impact of the Wei army seemed to become quiet in an instant.

"Kill, kill all enemies." When Gao Shun saw that the explosives were so powerful, his mind also felt blank for a moment, but after all, he had prepared in advance, and seeing that the enemy army was hit hard by the explosives, he shouted loudly and led the warriors who were trapped in the camp to start the counterattack again.

The Wei soldiers who had no follow-up troops, faced with the soldiers who rushed to the trap camp, were killed one less person, and Ji Ling mobilized 10,000 swordsmen to help at the city gate, and the strength of the two sides began to change for a while.

The numerical advantage of the soldiers was gone, and the combat power was inferior to that of the other party, and the soldiers of the Wei army who had rushed up to the city tower were in danger of being slaughtered, and some of the quick-witted ones had already begun to turn around and rush towards the ladders that were lucky not to be blown up.

After the explosives exploded, the Wei army's supporting troops were severely damaged, that is, even the general Che Xuan was killed, which made their morale fall to a low point in an instant, and they retreated as if they had no heart to fight.

Gao Shun and Ji Ling, who followed, led their warriors to slash and kill indiscriminately, and finally regained control of the city tower and won another battle.

At this moment, I was looking at the Wei soldiers who fled, many of them went down the city wall from the ladder, and unfortunately stepped on the thistles covered the ground, and many people were killed and injured for a while. Ji Ling's eyes were sharp, and he reacted quickly, and immediately ordered the archers to start shooting, and for a while, it was another burst of beating of water dogs.

Xiahou Yuan, who was not far from the city, watched as the few clouds of black smoke sounded, and then his own soldiers were killed on a large scale, and tears flashed in his eyes at this moment.

There are 80,000 people, but they are just attacking a small city, and the number of people who come back is not even 5,000, what kind of enemy can have such combat power, and is the thing that sounded explosives? How can it be so powerful?

Seeing the battle situation in front of him, Xiahou Yuan knew that he had failed today, attacking a small county town defended by 50,000 people with an army of 80,000 people, and almost annihilating the entire army, a result that he did not expect at all.

"General, General Che Xuan is dead, and our siege soldiers have also returned." General Niu Jin is also a big one at the moment, and he is obviously also shocked by the power of the explosives.

"Withdraw, withdraw." At this time, Xiahou Yuan could only make such an order, and when it was dark, it would be much more difficult to attack the city, so he had to make an order to retreat at this time.

The Wei army retreated, and the battle left more than 70,000 corpses, but still did not capture a small Liang County.

Seeing Xiahou Yuan lead the army to withdraw, cheers suddenly sounded above the city tower of Liang County, and Gao Shun and Ji Ling also breathed a sigh of relief, but there was not much relief on their faces.

Although the Wei army was severely damaged in this battle, their losses were also not small, among which the soldiers of the Fifth Army Corps killed more than 13,000 people, and even the brave trap camp also killed more than 200 people and wounded more than 500. This is still because of the heavy armor on their bodies, otherwise, the number will only continue to expand.

But fortunately, they still won, although this is inseparable from the powerful explosives, but after all, they also fought for their lives to win.

"Clean up the battlefield." Ji Ling looked at the city tower that had been stained red with blood, shook his head and said. As the saying goes, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, and now this scene is very well interpreted.

It's just that compared to the tragedy on the city tower, the city wall is even more miserable several times, and the power of explosives makes many people die without even finding the corpses, which is really miserable.

Ji Ling arranged for the soldiers to clean up the war and disinfect it, after all, it was already summer, and if the corpse was allowed to decompose, it would breed infectious diseases and even plagues, and the power of this thing was far more terrifying than war.

After arranging the affairs, Ji Ling went to see General Gao Shun, but the two Sanpin Wuzi looked at each other for a while and did not speak, obviously they were both frightened by the power of the explosives. In the end, it was General Ji Ling who took the initiative to speak: "General Gao, is there such a powerful thing as this?" ”

"Nope." Gao Shun shook his head. Supposedly, such a thing should not be used all at once, but when he saw the chariot rushing up with so many enemies, he was worried that he used it all at all, and now it seems that the power of this explosive is only a little more powerful than he expected.

"If not, then can we hold on to a battle tomorrow?" When Ji Ling heard that there were no explosives, he couldn't help but ask with some concern.

Gao Shun, however, didn't have any worries, but said: "It shouldn't be a big problem, the power of this explosive is enough for Wei Jun to digest it for a while, saying that they don't know if we still have such a thing, tomorrow, we just need to make some pockets and put them in a prominent position on the city tower, they will not dare to attack easily, and we can even use this thing to stay here for a few more days." ”

Gao Shun believed that the power of the explosives must have frightened the Wei army, and if it was used well, there would be no problem in deterring the enemy. Just in case, he still spoke: "That's it, General Ji, today we will send the wounded out overnight, and we must be prepared for a battle no matter what." ”

"Okay." Ji Ling also knew that the battlefield was ever-changing, and anything could happen, even if it was so, there was no harm in preparing more.

Speaking of Xiahou Yuan, after a defeat, he returned to the camp listlessly, and entered with him as well as the deputy general Niu Jin.

Originally, at this time yesterday, Che Xuan was still talking wildly here, but who would have thought that only one day had passed, and the deputy general had already died on the battlefield.

"General, will we continue the attack tomorrow, and what will the king say?" Niu Jin didn't want to say anything at this time, but seeing that Xiahou Yuan didn't speak for a long time, there were some things he still needed to remind.

"I'll write a letter to the king, as for Liangxian here, I'll be watching it tomorrow, okay, I'm tired, I want to take a good rest." Xiahou Yuan shook his head as if he was not interested in anything, and then waved his hand at Niu Jinjiao and asked him to retreat.

When he was the only one in the big tent, Xiahou Yuan thought in his heart, the Celestial Empire had such a powerful weapon, so I don't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing to start a war against them this time?

Xiahou Yuan was indeed frightened by the power of the explosives, so that he didn't have a good night's rest. It wasn't until dawn the next day that he found that Niu Jin had gathered an army of less than 100,000.

The assembly of the army did not pass through himself, the main general, which made Xiahou Yuan attack without attacking.

It's just that he didn't mean to blame anyone, even if he received the military order from Cao Cao, Xiahou Yuan knew that Liang County must be taken down, otherwise, he would not be able to explain. "Okay, now that the army is assembled, let's go to the city first."

Xiahou Yuan appeared under Liangxian County for the second time with a large army, but as soon as he came here, he saw the cloth bag hanging on the city tower, and he couldn't help but look frightened, he was really afraid of this thing in his heart.

Not only Xiahou Yuan, but the other soldiers all had nervous and frightened expressions on their faces after seeing the cloth bag, they wouldn't not know that yesterday was such a thing that hit their army hard, and even General Che Zhou was killed, so if they rushed forward now, wouldn't it be like killing themselves?

"What about the general?" Niu Jin also appeared beside Xiahou Yuan with a pale face, and asked for instructions.

"Let's take a look at the situation first, so let's send an echelon of five thousand people to rush forward and try it first." Xiahou Yuan said a little bottomlessly, but as soon as he finished saying this, he immediately changed his words and said: "Forget it, let's send two thousand people to the city to try." ”

Obviously, Xiahou Yuan didn't want to suffer too much loss, because in the face of powerful explosives, what if there were many soldiers? It's not the same to send it to death, even if it is, it's better to send less.

According to Xiahou Yuan's meaning, it is better not to send troops? It's just that he was also worried that Cao Cao would reprimand him after knowing the situation here, so he had to make an appearance.

Two thousand recruits, which is equivalent to the soldiers abandoned by Xiahou Yuan, unfortunately became the siege troops, they were very careful to come step by step towards the city tower of Liangxian County, this scene was seen clearly by Ji Ling and Gao Shun on the city tower.

"Hehe, there are only two thousand people here, this Xiahou Yuan is really a little childish, even if this is the case, the bow and arrow can be dealt with, General Gao, you can take the soldiers to take a good rest." Ji Ling looked at the fact that there were only two thousand enemies, and his face was relaxed.

"Okay, all the trouble General Ji, but if the other party has any big moves, he must notify me." Gao Shun agreed after thinking about it for a while, yesterday's battle, the warriors who were trapped in the camp were indeed too tired, and it is naturally a good thing to have time to rest now.
