The disappointed look of the captain of the cavalry, as if he had killed him, he reluctantly accepted his order and retreated from the city. Ge Di Yongwu continued: "Xiao Cavalry Captain, Flying Cavalry Captain, Cloud Cavalry Captain, listen to orders. The three of them responded and bowed their hands: "Yes." Ge Di Yongwu said: "Order the three of you and me to defend the valley city and defend the city to the death." "Order."

Ge Yongwu said: "Guerrilla general, listen to the order, order you to pacify the people, protect the safety of the people, the enemy army is prepared this time, there will be flying stone wine falling into the city alive, you must lead and clean up in time, so as not to catch fire in the city." ”

"Order." The guerrilla general took the order and left.

Ge Yu Yongwu originally wanted people to take Sha Dutian to a safe place, but looking at his face, he knew that he had never experienced a war, and he was excited like a sharp knife out of the sheath, and he couldn't wait, but often the more this happened, the more it would backfire, after all, he lacked experience. Ge Yongwu thought for a while: "Even if he has no combat experience, as long as he stays by my side, I can keep him safe and stable, it is better to push the boat down the river and leave him to fight together in the city, seeing that he is a person with combat experience, it is expected that he will be able to kill more enemy soldiers." ”

A trace of joy appeared on Ge Yongwu's face, but it flashed on his mighty face, he pointed to the enemy formation and said: "Brother Sha, you look at the enemy formation, it shows that the enemy commander is a person who can use soldiers, just by virtue of the arrow he just had, it is enough to show that he is a difficult person to deal with, and now he has a great advantage, Brother Sha is terrible?" ”

Sha Du Tian said arrogantly: "Afraid of a bird, my old Sha has never been afraid of anyone since he was born, he came one, I shot one, came two, I shot a pair, hahaha." ”

Ge Yongwu secretly praised Sha Dutian's bravery, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said with a handsome face: "Although the enemy army occupies a huge advantage, we occupy a geographical advantage, and the city is united, and he is a god, and it will not be so easy to break through the city." ”

After listening to Ge Diyongwu's words, Sha Dutian looked at the enemy army under the city, and his heart suddenly flooded with blood, he clenched his bow, and the arrows in his quiver were ready to fire.

Suddenly, a "boom" sound came from the city, the earth was slightly slight, Ge Yongwu frowned slightly, I don't know what happened in the city, at this critical juncture, if there is any change in the city, then the valley city will be difficult to defend.

A few minutes later, a small soldier ran up to the city and said, "Captain Qiyu." He saw that Sha Dutian was beside Ge Di Yongwu, and he paused and didn't say anything more. Ge Yongwu saw his hesitation, and he said, "My own people, say it." ”

"Captain Yudu, there was a sound in the secret passage in the city for some reason, and when the little one went to check, the secret passage had collapsed." The soldier said.

Ge Yongwu's face remained unchanged, and he said quietly: "I know, you can go." He had already guessed a few points, very few people in the secret passage in the valley city knew that the little soldier who reported the news just now was a cronie of Ge Di Yongwu, so he naturally knew it, I am afraid that someone deliberately cut off his back road.

Sha Dutian was also embarrassed to ask, he pointed to the city and said, "Hey, they actually buried the pot to make rice." "Ge Yongwu only then found that wisps of cooking smoke rose from the city, I don't know what the enemy is playing, according to common sense, the army will arrive at the city, then a general attack will be launched, why did this army suddenly start cooking?

Ge Di Yongwu said: "Brother Sha, what do you think is the reason why the enemy army makes rice? It was the first time that Sha Dutian had seen more than 100,000 people cooking tobacco and cooking together, which was really spectacular, and he said: "I think they must be hungry, after all, they have walked so much." ”

Ge Yongwu laughed and said, "It makes sense, since that's the case, let's go to the secret path to find out." He continued: "Captain of the light car, pay attention to all the movements of the enemy, and report to me as soon as there is any movement, and if it is too late, everything will go according to plan." ”

The lieutenant of the light car is second only to Ge Di Yongwu's official position, his age is not much different from Ge Di Yongwu, and he is also a fierce general, he clasped his hands into fists and said: "Order." But he thought in his heart: "What is good about this bandit-like Sha Dutian, Du Wei is so optimistic about him, I believe in Du Wei's vision, this Sha Du Tian must be very special, you can see it from his clothes." ”

The area around the secret passage had already been guarded by officers and soldiers under martial law, and all the officers and soldiers saw the arrival of Ge Di Yongwu, and they got out of the way one after another. The secret road is located in an underground river channel in the city, this underground river is the drinking water resource of the whole city, walk about 100 meters along the river to the secret road entrance, the secret road entrance is guarded by soldiers, see Ge Di Yongwu came over, have saluted.

Sha Dutian held a torch and said, "This is the secret passage?" How did it become like this? "I saw that the secret passage had already been blocked by rocks, and there was no crack in sight, and no one knew what was going on here, they were all puzzled, and the good secret passage had collapsed.

Sha Dutian suddenly saw a trace of black things, he squatted down and touched it with his index finger, the texture was soft and slightly sandy, he put his index finger on his nose and sniffed it, and a pungent ** smell came to his face. He said: "Good guy, it's a **, no wonder you can blow this place up like this." ”

Ge Yongwu's face was full of doubts, he had never heard of such a thing, and asked, "**? What's that? The soldiers around him stared wide-eyed, obviously wondering what the ** thing was.

Sha Dutian explained: "**can also be called**, it only takes a small amount to blow up a person, look at the tough rocks here, someone should have used a lot of **, and then detonated, and this place collapsed." ”

What Ge Yongwu cares about is not the destruction of the secret passage, but the fact that Sha Dutian said an amazing point, which is ** that can kill people, he knows in his heart that although the city wall of the valley is solid and heavy, it can't withstand long-term destruction, not to mention the enemy attacking the city, even if the enemy army does not attack the city, the time will increase, and there will be a shortage of food in the city. And there are not many defenders in the city, so if it goes on like this, the valley city will be broken sooner or later, and now he hears Sha Dutian say that ** can kill people, how can he not be excited.

Ge Di Yongwu said: "Brother Sha, will you make such a **? His deep eyes stared at Sha Dutian, hoping to get a satisfactory reply. Sure enough, Sha Dutian said: "Yes, yes, but you need raw materials, I don't know if you have them here." ”

Ge Yu Yongwu asked, "What raw materials?" ”

Sha Dutian has been a soldier, and he still knows a little bit about making simple **, he said: "It's very simple, sulfur, nitrate, charcoal powder and fine sand, and they can be made according to a certain amount of ratio, although the power is not very great, but it is no problem to kill a few people, I don't know if these raw materials can be found in the city." ”

"There is sulfur, charcoal, and fine sand, but I have never heard of this thing. He thought to himself, "This is bad." He asked, "Is it necessary to use nitrate?" ”

Sha Dutian said: "You must use nitrate, by the way, do you have an alchemist here, maybe he has saltpeter there." "Generally, alchemists will cultivate various pills, and saltpeter is one of the indispensable ingredients.

Ge Yongwu's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "There is a Taoist temple in the north of the city, maybe the Taoist chief inside has this thing, I will take you there." At this moment, I heard a faint trumpet, and immediately afterward, a scout came to report: "Captain Qiyu, the enemy is attacking the city." ”

Ge Di Yongwu frowned slightly, and said, "Got it." The scout stepped back. Ge Yongwu said to Sha Dutian: "Brother Sha, military affairs are on my body, I must go, come here, take Brother Sha to the Taoist Temple." After he finished speaking, he hurriedly left with his generals, without waiting for Sha Dutian to say anything.

There is no trace of panic in the city, walking in the city, it seems that everyone is quiet and orderly, each performing their duties, and many people are busy and dedicating their own strength.

The Taoist temple is located in the northernmost part of the valley city, located on a slope, and when you walk to the door of the Taoist hall, you can see the three big characters of "Tianmen Temple" hanging above the gate. The Tianmen Temple is not very big, the arrival of the officers and soldiers has already alarmed the Taoist priest in the temple, and an old Taoist priest went out to greet him: "The arrival of the layman, the view is full of brilliance." ”

Sha Dutian was a little surprised, this old Taoist priest did not have the cultivation of a cultivator at all, but he was a bit like a bureaucrat, but looking at his fairy wind and crane bones, wearing a Taoist robe, he still had a bit of immortal energy. A soldier said respectfully: "Dongfang Dao Chief, this is a friend of Captain Gedi, we have come here to inquire about something. ”

Dongfang Daoist said with a smile: "Master Jun, please speak." He spoke with ease, as if he could say whatever the soldier said. Na Sha Dutian said directly: "Dongfang Dao Chief, I don't know if you have saltpeter here?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Elder Dongfang smiled slightly, at this time there was a war outside the city, and at this moment, there were officers and soldiers here, and they came here for saltpeter, he said: "I have already prepared for the military master, but I only have these here, if you need a large amount of saltpeter, you can only go to the Baishi Mountain outside the city to dig it." ”

A little Taoist priest walked to Sha Dutian with a basket, and he handed the basket to Sha Dutian, there were about eight or nine catties of saltpeter in the basket, which was far from enough for making a large number of **. Sha Dutian was still concerned about another matter, and he thought to himself, "How could this old Taoist priest know that we are here to inquire about saltpeter?" And it was prepared in advance. Full of doubts, he took the basket.

Xiao Bing asked, "Mr. Sha, are these saltpeters?" I don't know if it's enough. He didn't say whether the production was enough or not, he was worthy of being a subordinate of Ge Di Yongwu, and he was very cautious when he spoke.

Sha Dutian said: "These are naturally not enough. Dongfang Daoist saw Sha Dutian's concern, and he said positively: "Old Dao is willing to lead the way to find saltpeter. ”

Xiao Bing said: "Dongfang Dao Chief, now fighting outside the city, don't say that we can't protect ourselves when we go out, you..." Dongfang Dao Chang smiled: "As a citizen of Yougu City, I naturally have to dedicate my strength, although the old Dao is old, I am willing to sprinkle my blood under Yougu City." ”
