Chapter 281: Nitroglycerin
The news brought back by the crown road was expected. Anchi was not intimidated by his intimidation. The rolling cavalry still surged forward like a tide, and spread out, speeding up. It can be reached in a maximum of two hours.
Cheng Jinzhou could think that the death of the star warlock in Yeming must have been beyond the capacity of the Northern Han army, but he didn't understand why the Northern Han cavalry would come straight to De'an.
At this time, there is no need to say anything. A few astral warlocks set up fortifications on the hillocks on the side of the river, discarding large quantities of wood, charcoal, and iron on the road, hoping to slow down the cavalry and command the local population. Trying to divert supplies from the other side of the river. It is clear, however, that people are more inclined to flee by boat, or on foot along the avenue, rather than defending outside the unwalled county.
Even the astral warlocks couldn't strengthen their faith, 20,000 was too many, and no one liked to put their lives on someone else.
The Jianhe River cannot be used as a barrier, because the cavalry of the Northern Han Dynasty has a way to spare it from the other side, and it is obviously too late to blow up the bridges in other counties at this time, and more to consider will be how to meet the cavalry on the plain.
Even the father and son of the Lu family are pessimistic about the scene in front of them.
"We gave up the supplies on the other side of the bank and brought all the explosives that could be used in the mine." After a short hesitation, Cheng Jinzhou gave the order in a firm tone. Jiang Huang Star Warlock played with star power to fight against Liu Kuang, and he was bound to not be able to use all his star power to fight against the Ten Thousand Cavalry, which was also very dangerous for a fourth-level Star Warlock with full star power.
Of course, he didn't really want to release supplies on the other side, so he moved to the other side while the astronorcist apprentices were carrying nitroglycerin. Sold all the supplies to the Covenant.
It doesn't have to be a good deal, but it doesn't have to suffer.
In the last two hours, the rest of De'an's people moved.
Just like all the yamen in Daxia, the county officials in De'an were very strict, and the largest number of them were the yamen and the Zhuang class. The former has the best treatment, including Ma Kuai, Bu Kuai, and Soap Li, which is equivalent to the storage zài of the car-free police, the car-free policeman and the guarded police. The number of people in the squad is the largest, equivalent to the storage of the auxiliary police and the chengguan, they are the main managers of law and order, and there are as many people as many as Lian in De'an County alone, and in some counties, this number is doubled.
In addition to the servants, the miners who did not escape were the most able manpower. But compared to the civil servants who ate the food of the state, the workers naturally did not take the government to heart, and most of them either left with their families or hid in the countryside of De'an, so as not to be affected by the iron cavalry of the Northern Han Dynasty.
Almost all of the servants remained in Shaonan, believing in both the city walls and the power of the fourth-level star warlocks. In addition, if you run away, according to the rules of Great Xia, you will basically never be hired, and no one wants to lose such a lucrative job.
The workers left behind more than 1,000 people, mostly locals. They don't have much choice and are equally apprehensive.
With more than 100 astrosorcerer apprentices. More than 1,000 people slowly drove the carriage to transport as much nitroglycerin as possible, shaking violently, and even a stone on the side of the road could make nitroglycerin explode directly, and the sluggishness and shrugging of manpower were the best way.
It is impossible to let them go directly to the battlefield, even more than a thousand soldiers, when fully equipped, are not capable of fighting the same number of rearmament cavalry, let alone uncommanded troops who have only experienced winter and summer camps.
There was no need to consider the garrison in the hands of Jinzhou Province, the military attachés of this era had to obey the orders of the civilian officials, and the most important point of the local officials was that "they had the responsibility to defend the territory." The meaning is: the enemy can kill people and set fire to your land, but they can't take the city, otherwise you will look good if you don't kill yourself.
Because of this, not to mention Cheng Jinzhou's sin against the governor of Jinzhou Province, even if they didn't, they would also shrink all the soldiers to the towns.
The only battle that can be relied on is the more than 100 Star Warlock apprentices, and the remaining more than a dozen Star Warlocks, not all of them went to Shaonan with Cheng Jinzhou, among the gentlemen who stayed in De'an, Xi Wuyong and Zhang Tao are all available combat power, they do not need to be restricted by Jiang Huang's Star Warlock style, Wen Rui and Huang Xuan are a second-level Star Warlock. One is a first-class star warlock, all of them are in a state of full star power, and it is not a problem to deal with the remaining star warlocks in the Northern Han Dynasty.
All the star warlocks stayed on the edge of the river, listening to Jiang Huang's star warlock explain the mathematics of artillery, and in the case of insufficient star power, directly throwing nitroglycerin out is the most labor-saving means.
Liu Kuangxing's warlock came a little earlier than the army of the Northern Han Dynasty.
He skimmed low and found the location of Jiang Huangxing's warlock, and stood there, looking at him. Jiang Huangxing Warlock stopped the pen in his hand. Look at the time and say: "You go and calibrate the Zhuyuan, I believe that the current content, Mao Jing is enough for us to attack." ”
After speaking, he took off and faced Liu Kuangxing Warlock.
The two men flew upwards together until they couldn't see or hear the place.
Liu Kuangfei was faster and higher, but when he reached the height of the clouds, he did not attack, but condescended, and shouted in a sad and angry voice Piper Juan! "I have seven men under me. Li Ji also died. Xiejin's heart is deleted with astrology
The third-level one-star Jiang Huang's expression became cold.
The seemingly corrective language made Liu Kuang's face turn hideous, and he said loudly: "If Xi Wuyong and Zhang Tao both die at my hands, what will you think?"
"Is this a threat?. Jiang Huang's words were very short, and his face was still calm.
He didn't want to entangle with Liu Kuang, and it seemed that he had no obligation to calm Liu Kuang's anger. "The Association won't let you go. Guo Jingxing Warlock is still in Great Xia. "The reason why An Feng didn't pounce was simply because he didn't grasp the victory. He was facing the most qualified star warlock in Great Xia at present, Jiang Huang, who was like a big tree about to fall, and he was not afraid of any beast except nature.
Jiang Huang naturally remembered Guo Jingxing's threat, groaned for a moment, shook his head, and said, "If Guo Jingxing Warlock has any questions, let him ask me personally." ”
"Jiang Huang!" Liu Kuang began to call him by his name: "Cheng Jinzhou is already a complete Templar Star Warlock. If you protect him, the result will be the same. ”
"Maybe he doesn't care if it's a sanctuary or an association." Jiang Huang's voice suddenly became low.
"What are you talking about?"
Jiang Huang didn't want to fight with Liu Kuang, so he quickly said, "Do you remember when you were in Xingzhou, those yellow-robed people who were responsible for manipulating the special star array?"
Liu Kuang knew that Jiang Huang would not casually tell a little story to delay time, so he slowly put away his posture and said "oh", waiting for the following.
"I think you should know about the existence of the Holy Cliff."
"Huh?"
"I guess Cheng Jinzhou came to Great Xia from the Holy Cliff to train.
Liu Kuang's look was ugly. After a long time, he said, "How do you know?" ”
"I guess. You can believe it, but I'm not going to let you go. Jiang Huang spoke in a deep voice. Just like when he was still in the royal palace star warlock.
Liu Kuang is also a very decisive person, and quickly said: "Let's stay here together."
His meaning was naturally to make Jiang Huang unable to participate in the next battle. In his mind, if it weren't for Jiang Huang, even if the cavalry of the Northern Han Dynasty couldn't kill Cheng Jinzhou, they would have destroyed De'an's real yàn room and real yàn factory.
Jiang Huang had no choice but to stop in the air.
Cavalry. Kick up a cloud of smoke and dust.
An Wenchang wore an ordinary officer's uniform with no conspicuous signs to avoid being killed first.
He was surrounded by guards armed with longbows, then old inscriptions selected from all the army and replaced with soldiers with longer infantry strongbows. The Northern Han always tended to be inferior when it came to astral warlocks, but they had their own methods. The rain of arrows composed of Yang soldiers still has extremely strong lethality in the low sky, and the star warlocks of no rank will inevitably avoid its edge.
Several long-trained archers hid in ordinary ranks, and they used the best bows and arrows, in ideal conditions. Can kill any intruding Astral Warlock within Rumi. Their symbolism is greater than their actual meaning. Its existence zài means that any astral warlock who comes close to any of the troops can be killed.
No astral warlock is willing to take such a risk.
In fact. An Wenchang didn't have to move on, but he had to keep going. If you go back in the dust. This is the end of the military career of a genius commander, which also means the end of his political career. Not to mention that the dead Anchi is an important member of the An family.
Compared with losing the trust of the country and his family, An Wenchang is more willing to fight for a way out, whether it is his own life or the life of 20,000 cavalrymen. And he also believed that at least until tomorrow's sun magic, the star warlocks of Great Xia would not have much star power available.
He still had the Mingxing Warlock left, and it was enough for a short battle.
"General, we're on the edge of De'an." The adjutant will report the news of the striker at any time.
There was already a "whoop" cry ahead.
"Shouting what?. An Wenchang straightened up, stepped on the horse's pedal and looked forward, and froze. It took him a long time before he pointed to the yellow-white artificial hill across the river and said, "That's grain?" ”
"That's coal. It seems to be a storehouse of cloth over there. We robbed it last year," the adjutant was like a treasure, and it was rare to see such a sumptuous "feast" in his year-long robbery career.
"It's a pity, otherwise I would have been able to send a messenger over at least halfway." An Wenchang used his usual experience, and at that moment he was going to forget about the star warlocks who died in battle.
There was a loud "boom" that woke up all the North Korean troops in their dreams.
The startled horse suddenly screamed, and the Star Warlock took off.
"Star Warlock?" An Wenchang thought suspiciously, and at the same time habitually waved his hand and shouted: "Disperse 1 disperse." ”
The second barrel of nitroglycerin, which has been passed guò "wind and waves star array small, sent into the air.
