Chapter 112: A Wonderful Means
After the Khitans retreated to the bend again, everyone's expressions were sluggish.
Iron Wolf never expected that this time, with the help of his master, he would still be defeated.
Fifty elite wolf soldiers of Daliao, wearing heavy armor, holding heavy shields of Xuanbing, formed a wall of armor and shields, it stands to reason that in such a formation, ordinary firearms and bows and crossbows are difficult to hurt at all, and even those ordinary ballistas cannot break through the thick shield array.
It's a pity that the firearms of those Han people seem to be endless, and they have no power to parry.
This time, the two thousand Blood Wolf Gang elites in front of them had already been killed or wounded, but they didn't even see the gate of Bluestone Castle.
Thinking of this, the iron wolf was very angry in his heart, and then looked at the people under him, all of them looked depressed and their morale was low, and they must have really been killed by the enemy's ferocious methods.
In the gorgeous sedan chair, the delicate coughing and wheezing voice became more and more urgent, and it was obvious that the people in the sedan chair were also shocked by the Han people's defensive methods.
At this time, the iron wolf came to the sedan chair, gritted his teeth and said: "The subordinates beg the master to strike again, this time, the subordinates will definitely break through the bluestone castle at all costs!" ”
The person in the sedan chair sighed softly, and said faintly: "Today's bluestone fort, we can't break it, and if we continue to attack it forcibly, it will have no effect except for increasing casualties." ”
Hearing this, the iron wolf said unwillingly: "Is that it?" If you don't break through the bluestone castle and bring back the Lianbi Monarch, how will Prince Rui's plan be implemented? ”
The woman in the sedan chair pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "We all miscalculated this time, there must be a soldier armor division hidden in this bluestone castle, and it is also a very rare armor division, with our current strength, it is difficult to break through the bluestone castle, so let's choose another day." ”
Iron Wolf was stunned for a moment, "There are armor divisions in those Han people?" How is this possible? According to the news, they fled from Daliao to here, and there are only hundreds of old and weak women and children in total, if there is a soldier armor division, how can they be willing to be with them? ”
The woman in the sedan chair sighed again: "If it weren't for the armor division, where did the mysterious firearms used by these Han people come from?" You know, in the whole world today, there has never been such a terrible and ferocious firearm. ”
The iron wolf bowed his head and was silent for a long time, "What does the master mean, let's retreat?" ”
"Your information is wrong this time, we came to attack Qingshi Fort this time, and we were not well prepared, if I had known this, I would have crossed the river with more armor, and we would have withdrawn......"
After that, the people in the sedan car stopped talking.
At this time, the two white-clothed Khitan people guarding the sedan chair immediately lifted the sedan chair, slowly left the bend, and walked towards the outside of the valley, leaving the iron wolf group to stand in place unwillingly.
When he was halfway there, the sedan chair suddenly stopped, "Close the mountain immediately, since those Han people like to hide in the bluestone fort, let them be completely trapped inside!" ”
After hearing this, the iron wolf took a deep breath, bowed down and nodded, "Yes, Master!" ”
Looking at the gorgeous sedan chair gradually moving away, at this time, the iron wolf turned around suddenly, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes, and said coldly to everyone under him: "Prepare gunpowder and close the mountain!" ”
Hearing that the mountain was going to be closed, Su Dingfang, who was standing on the side, was anxious, and ran to him and said: "Helper, if the mountain is closed, the mine of Qingshi Fort will be abandoned, and then we will lose a mine in vain." ”
The iron wolf glanced at him coldly, "If we don't close the mountain, how can we force those Han people out?" ”
After that, he ignored Su Dingfang and directly led a group of his subordinates to find a blasting point on both sides of the valley.
Under the order of the iron wolf, hundreds of blood wolf gangsters lifted boxes of gunpowder, picked up hammers and iron drills, and quickly climbed to the top of the mountain.
Soon, on the top of the hill on both sides of the curve, there was the sound of metal knocking on the excavation.
………………
After the rising sun slowly shone into the valley, suddenly, the entire bluestone castle city defense was illuminated with warmth.
At this moment, the city defense of Bluestone Fort can be described as a heavy garrison.
Inside and out, up and down, hundreds of people gathered.
Above the city defenses, there were more than a dozen ballistae, three small trebuchets, plus a hundred crossbowmen and dozens of arms shooters. Inside the city gates, more than 200 crossbowmen and swordsmen were also deployed.
Yang Zheng stood on top of the city tower, holding a telescope in his hand, and kept looking ahead, it had been almost an hour since he withdrew to the city defense, but in the valley, there was no movement at all.
After the Khitans were killed and retreated for the second time, they never appeared again.
Zhao Tiequan said with some doubts: "Owner, after such a long time, the Khitans have not attacked, haven't they already retreated?" ”
Yang Zheng bowed his head and was silent, because he was not sure now.
At this time, Yang Mazi, who was standing next to him, asked for his life: "Owner, let me take someone out of the city to investigate and see if those Khitans have retreated." ”
Yang Zheng waved his hand, "Wait another hour, if the enemy hasn't moved, you will take someone out of the city to investigate......"
Before the words fell, a strange omen suddenly appeared.
Suddenly, the people stationed on the city defense suddenly heard a loud noise in the valley in the distance.
Thundered......
When the earth shook and the mountains shook, the entire valley and the entire city defense trembled violently.
At this sudden change, everyone was shocked and didn't understand what was going on.
Immediately after, Yang Zheng and the others clearly heard a dull rolling sound like thunder in the valley in the distance.
Yang Mazi listened attentively for a moment, and his face changed, "It's not good, it seems to be the sound of a mountain rock collapsing." ”
Hearing this, Yang Zheng took a deep breath and hurriedly said, "Yang Mazi, you can take someone out of the city to visit now, and see what is happening in the valley ahead!" ”
"Yes, owner!"
After hearing the order, Yang Mazi immediately took two skilled spies and rode out of the city quickly.
After a while, Yang Mazi and the others went and returned, only to see them running to Yang Zheng with panicked expressions and reporting loudly: "Owner, it's not good, those Khitans used gunpowder to blow up the valley, and now, the valley in front of us is blocked by a large number of boulders, and we have no way out at all." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present changed color and scolded secretly, the Khitan people are so good.
Yang Zheng took a few deep breaths, tried to calm his mood, and then slowly said to everyone: "Let's go, follow me out of the city, and see what those dog-day Khitans have blown up the valley into." ”
Since the Khitans have blown up the valley, the people in the bluestone fort can't get out, and the enemy doesn't want to come in, so everyone doesn't have to worry about the Khitans attacking.
Under the leadership of Yang Mazi, everyone quickly rushed towards the explosion point.
