Chapter 152
The soldiers of the Tuoba Army, who had disposed of these people and went to inquire about the news, also returned soon, but regrettably, no useful information was found.
"Also, if there is really any decision, it is estimated that their general will not tell these soldiers." Qin Bairui patted Zhong Zhuyu's head for comfort.
He Yu shook his head: "But the number of these Xirong troops is so small, if they really have other ideas, then these people are cannon fodder to put it bluntly, if the general didn't explain it to them in advance, how could anyone be willing to come out as cannon fodder"
Huang Yuhe snorted coldly, just to contradict He Yu: "Maybe there is no one in Xirong, the main force has been killed by us in Zhanzhou, half of them have escaped, and there are still a few people fighting here, not to mention that Xirong is not a populous country."
Several people glanced at each other, and then turned their eyes to Zhong Zhuoyu.
Chung: I think I'm a bit stressed
"Ahem, since we don't have any definite news in our hands, we might as well wait here."
"Wait"
Several people spoke in unison, and also cast puzzled looks.
Qin Bairui: "But isn't this contrary to our purpose of going north?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the other two vigilantly, leaned into Zhong Shuyu's ear and whispered: "The military strength transferred by Dayu to Tuozhou is strong, and there are few people in Xirong, if we wait any longer, maybe they have already finished fighting, then we won't be able to brush up our reputation."
Zhong Zhiyu patted his hand and gave him a reassuring look: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”
"Okay."
Qin Bairui trusted Zhong Zhuoyu unconditionally, and immediately stood aside with Zhong Zhuoyu: "Let's listen to her." ”
Huang Yuhe and He Yu: We didn't say we wouldn't listen
The Zhong family army and the Tuoba army brought by Zhong Shuyu combined were about 20,000 people, and if so many people gathered on the small hillside outside Tuozhou City on weekdays, they would definitely be noticed, but they had already shown the customs clearance documents to the guards guarding the city, and took the clear road; Second, they were well hidden, and the Tuozhou city army was too busy to take care of themselves, so they let them watch a battle in peace.
The Dayu army almost pressed the kind of Xirong army fought.
Huang Yuhe touched his chin and made a smack: "These garrisons have the advantage of numbers, they are not crisp enough, and their weapons are not as sharp as those from Xirong, let alone strategy." I really don't know if the commander was too confident or really brainless, and let the two armies face each other. ”
He Yu glanced at him, although he was unhappy in his heart, but he still admitted: "If we change the command with some strategy in mind, the casualties of our army must be much less than now." ”
Being agreed by He Yu, Huang Yuhe was stunned for a moment, and then opened his mouth to say something, but before he could finish his struggle, he heard a deafening roar that almost burst his eardrum.
Everyone was stunned by this sudden loud noise, and while covering their ears, they looked at the loud noise, only to see that Xirong Fang pushed out a black thing with a long mouth, and the mouth was still steaming, and Dayu, who had been invincible before, was blown into countless pieces of meat, and even the gate of Tuozhou was blown up into a big hole.
Pieces of dirt and flesh flew in the air, and it was heart-wrenching to look at.
"This is" He Yu looked at the thing pushed out by Xirong incredulously, and kept running forward a few more steps: "This is impossible, how can this thing be in the hands of the Xijon people"
"Master He, do you recognize what this is?"
He Yu looked around, and saw that everyone was waiting for him to answer with their ears sideways, so he narrowed his eyelids and explained in a very low volume: "This is a cannon made of gunpowder, which has the power to shake mountains and rivers, this is something that Da Yu has been secretly developing, and it should not be in the hands of Xirong." ”
Zhong Zhiyu's eyes flashed: "No wonder King Xirong has been preparing for three years before launching an offensive, and he has been studying this."
He Yu's face was very bad, and he was even covered with a layer of defeat: "So we were still tricked, and the sound hit the east and the west, and then the east, his goal was the north from the beginning"
Zhong Zhiyu took a few deep breaths, and his expression was solemn: "In other words, his goal is not to defeat my Dayu, but to vent his anger." ”
When her words came out, several people gasped: "It's by the way that he wants to beat down our Dayu, he just wants to kill a little more Dayu people."
Zhong Shuyu nodded: "That's why we will use most of the Xirong army as bait, so that we have time to send reinforcements, and we can't make us suspicious of King Xirong's actions, we really can't think about it." ”
"He's just a madman," He Yu scolded angrily, his lips trembling a little.
Just as a few people were talking, Xirong's cannon fired another cannon shot, and the city wall, which had already been blown open, instantly became broken, and there was even a smell of burnt incense wafting in the air.
Everyone's faces turned pale, and there was a panic in their hearts.
They were some distance from the battlefield, and they could smell burnt meat, but how many people had died where they didn't see it
"Let's go back quickly" Zhong Zhiyu immediately ordered: "Let's go around to the rear of Tuozhou City first and act when the opportunity arises." ”
Several people didn't say a word, and they took action one after another.
It took them two hours to climb the hill, but it took less than an hour to go back, and on the way they saw people fleeing in a hurry, kneeling on the side of the road, chanting the words: "Thunder God is angry, Thunder God is angry, please call back the messenger sent down."
The people were ignorant, but Zhong Shuyu heard their words and had a flash of inspiration, and said to Qin Bairui thoughtfully: "Do you say that this gunpowder has any nemesis?"
"I don't know." Qin Bairui replied very simply: "I only know that they will definitely report this situation, maybe the emperor can take out our cannon and bombard them, no matter how powerful it is, it is still a thing, and if it is broken, it will be gone." ”
"How long will it take, by then Tuozhou will already be broken."
Qin Bairui felt something: "Did you think of how to solve it?"
Zhong Zhiyu lifted his chin.
"It's worthy of my wife, will there be anyone smarter than you in the world?" Qin Bairui's kind words came as if he didn't want money.
I didn't feel anything when I opened my mouth to court, but when I really heard Qin Bairui call himself "madam", Zhong Xiyu suddenly felt a little panicked, and hurriedly twisted the soft flesh on Qin Bairui's waist: "Don't scream, you haven't married yet."
"Okay, good" Qin Bairui hurriedly begged for mercy: "That lady has thought of some peerless tricks?"
"You're right before, no matter how powerful the cannon is, it's a thing, and if it's a thing, someone has to operate it, as long as we quietly solve the people, then what kind of drama can he Xirong sing"
