Of the 6 cities occupied by Tang Yan, three of them did not cost a single soldier, and the other three also took advantage of their unpreparedness to take advantage of their unpreparedness, and they did not consume much. So the harvested soldiers, plus the original, now have a total of 130,000 soldiers.

These forces will also be scattered and guard several cities. Compared with the 500,000 troops of the imperial court, it is really a bit stretched.

Liuzhou City is in the middle position, and the number of soldiers is the largest, with 30,000 people, which is convenient for central dispatch.

In the other five cities, according to the difficulty of defending the city, some released more than 20,000 soldiers, and some released less than 20,000 people, basically the number of people is about the same.

A city has only about 20,000 defenders, and it sounds impossible to face an army of 500,000.

The original people in Wanshan were okay, and the new soldiers were all fighting in two groups, and their morale was low.

What Tang Yan has done the most in the past few days is to give speeches to the soldiers everywhere to boost everyone's morale.

"Brothers, please believe me, this war will eventually belong to the side of justice!"

"The enemy is not terrible, I will definitely take you alive to protect the city!"

"Brothers, rest assured, at the most difficult moment in our Wanshan, I and the generals will definitely rush to the forefront!"

Tang Yan's voice was hoarse, although there was nothing substantial, but it did inspire some people's hearts.

Morale has generally picked up, but it is still slightly sluggish.

At this time, the first batch of troops of the imperial court arrived, which was an army of 200,000 led by General Zhang Hu.

He also felt that the other party wanted to rely on 20,000 people to defend the city, which was a joke.

So without waiting for the 300,000 people who had not yet arrived, they prepared to go to war directly, take a city, and seize the first credit.

Zhang Hu's army chose to start directly from Tang Yan's base camp, Jinshan Mansion.

Although there are ten thousand mountains as a barrier on one side of Jinshan Mansion, the other side is a plain, which is not the slightest natural danger, and it is easy to attack and difficult to defend.

There is no natural insurance, and it is a huge gap of 200,000 to 20,000.

The city gate of Jinshan Mansion is like paper paste in Zhang Hu's eyes.

He took the soldiers to rest for a while, and did not call the general to test before the battle, and directly led the army to press over.

Tang Yan stood at the head of the city, looking at the crowd in the distance, and couldn't help but be shocked.

Although there are more than 100,000 soldiers in Wanshan, everyone lives scattered in normal times, and there are few times to fight together.

Now looking at each other's 200,000 people together, it's too magnificent!

It turned out that the war scenes she watched with big directors and big productions in modern times are estimated to be used by thousands of people at most.

The army of 200,000 is so vast that if you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't imagine it.

Tang Yan restrained his agitated thoughts, raised his hand with a cold expression, and shouted.

"Put!"

I saw a series of improved trebuchets on the city wall, loaded with two explosive packs with ignited fuses, and projected into the enemy's camp.

These explosives bags are the secret weapons that Tang Yan has been pinching and hiding!

It is also the foundation of her confidence to defend the city.

The soldiers usually practiced projecting with the model of the explosive bag, but they really did not understand the power of the explosives.

Not only the soldiers, but also many mid-level generals did not know the power of gunpowder.

It's just a necessary step to throw explosives bags like a stone to prevent the opponent from attacking the city.

But how many people can be smashed with one stone?

The other party has an army of 200,000!

Everyone's hearts felt that Jinshan Mansion could not be saved, and their hearts were full of frustration.

But at this moment.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The earth-shattering sound rang out one after another.

Hundreds of packets of explosives were used together, and the vanguard of Zhang Hu's army was blown down in an instant.

The charging soldiers were stunned, this seemed to be a scene of Tianwei, which was beyond everyone's cognitive knowledge, and no one dared to rush forward anymore.

was also suppressed, as well as people from Tang Yan's side.

Everyone didn't expect that there was no stone-heavy package, and the power was so great!

One explosive bag goes down, and a dozen or twenty people are gone.

This most ordinary black powder, in the era of cold weapons, is already comparable to the means of immortals.

"Go on, let's go!"

Tang Yan ordered loudly, waking up the stunned everyone.

The soldiers continued to pack explosives, lit them and threw them at the enemy forces below.

This time, the morale of the soldiers soared, and so did their strength, and the explosive packs flew farther.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

It was another sound of conjunction.

In the rear of the vanguard of Zhang Hu's army, another piece of people fell.

The air wave stirred up by the explosives caused the sand and gravel to fly.

It looks like flying sand and rocks, as if a demon was born.

At this moment, Zhang Hu's army was not only stunned, but the vanguard wanted to escape crying for his father and mother.

But the people all over the hills, and the people at the back could only hear the sound, but they didn't know what was happening in front of them.

Generally, the elite units are in the middle and rear, and the vanguard troops run back, but the troops in the middle and rear do not move.

The two were at a stalemate, like a traffic jam, and they couldn't move for a while.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the soldier in charge of the trebuchet continued to drop the explosive pack.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The sound grew louder and louder, flesh and sand flew everywhere, and smoke and dust billowed like a giant beast that devoured people.

Looking at the blur of flesh and blood below, Tang Yan felt physiological discomfort.

She stood there expressionless, as if she was cold, but her heart was trembling.

So many people died, many of them were just ordinary soldiers who did what they were told, and they also had their own families and their own joys, sorrows, and sorrows.

Tang Yan couldn't bear it in his heart, but he couldn't let them go.

To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to one's own people.

There is no room for compassion in troubled times.

Only by ending this troubled world as soon as possible and allowing everyone to live and work in peace and contentment can we be worthy of the sacrifices of both the enemy and us.

Slowly, everyone in Zhang Hu's army knew what was going on in front of them.

This is like a scene of heavenly punishment, not to mention that the soldiers can't stand it, many generals are scared.

Everyone turned around and ran back, throwing away their armor for fear that they would run slowly.

Tang Yan's fists clenched, he took a deep breath, and spit out a word with difficulty but firmness.

"Chase!"

Si Muyu glanced at Tang Yan appreciatively on the side.

Compassion but decisiveness, born with the talent of the emperor!

He immediately gave the order to go down and asked Guo Jiang to go out of the city with a large group of men and horses to pursue.

Although gunpowder is powerful, it is actually of limited use. The opponent's 200,000 troops, not many were killed by gunpowder, and more were trampled on. But even then, at least 180,000 horses remain.

On flat ground, explosives packs don't do much at all. As long as Zhang Hu's army counterattacked, the pursuers sent by Wanshan had no power to parry.

But these nearly 200,000 people have long been frightened by gunpowder, how dare they fight back.

So there was a funny scene of more than 20,000 people chasing nearly 200,000 people.

What's even funnier is that the people who were caught up didn't dare to resist at all, and they knelt on the ground with weak legs, shouting to the gods to spare their lives.

The people brought out by Guo Jiang all took a lot of ropes in their hands and tied them up.

When the people in front saw that the people behind them were not dead, but were captured, they did not resist and were tied up one after another.
