Volume 1 Chapter 411 The Mulan of the Past Dynasty, the Yaoguang of Today
We began to dig a hundred steps away from the west gate of Wujiao City. There are also some weapons to defend the city on Wujiao City, but there are only five ballistas, and two catapults, although a hundred steps away, they belong to their attack range, but the problem is that we first built a big shed with thick logs in the place where we are ready to excavate, not to mention a ballista, even if it is a boulder of a catapult, we can only stare at this thing.
The next thing is the time to stare at the city and play the city. Of course, the propaganda team under Ben Gongzi was not idle, shouting to Wujiaocheng every day, denouncing the inaction and wanton behavior of today's son, and announcing the policy of our army. All in all, idleness is idleness, and although the walls stop our people, they can't stop our voices. In addition, the detailed work in the city naturally began to be launched, and announcements about the new army and new policies began to be posted everywhere on the dark moon and windy night.
All in all, the whole Wujiao City is panicked, but on our side, it is very leisurely, and we conduct drills as usual every day
And late at night on the third day, the good news was finally received, and the sappers finally dug under the city wall, and Ben Gongzi was very happy. "How many pounds of gunpowder did we bring in total?"
"Back to Gongzi, we have transported a total of 20,000 catties of gunpowder." Wei Yunqi replied immediately.
"How about we blow up half of the wall?" Han Xiong's eyes narrowed, his expression was very excited, like a bandit who had just gone to the door of the bank to inquire about the situation and knew that there were at least millions of cash in the road.
"Ten thousand pounds......" The captain of the demolition team was stunned. No, 10,000 catties of gunpowder, I'm afraid that not only the city wall, but even the city wall around more than ten zhang will be affected. ”
"Oh, too much?" Han Xiong scratched his head a little embarrassed and said with a smile. "Then according to your estimates, how many catties of gunpowder will be blown up on the city wall?"
"If you just blow up a gap, 2,000 catties to 2,500 catties is enough, and if you want to completely blow up the section of the city wall where the medicine is buried, it will take about 4,000 catties." The leader of the demolition team was originally a miner, but eventually volunteered to become the first gunpowder miner.
After that, because of his fanatical love for this powerful gunpowder weapon, coupled with his good mind, he had his own unique views on how to use explosives to blow up large rocks, and finally became the captain of the most destructive demolition team in the hands of this son.
"Okay, just 2,500 catties of gunpowder, tomorrow, I'll ask the last question, whether that guy surrenders or not." Ben Gongzi touched his smooth chin and said.
"By the way, I asked this guy at the south gate, and I saved too many people from dying in a while, well, it hurts the heavens." I looked compassionate and compassionate, in exchange for Shuanghan's speechlessness, and Wei Yunqi's admiration.
It can be seen that the two surnamed Han both hope for a bloody battle, cutting people, or being cut, and Wei Yunqi seems to have read a lot of books, so he also respects the existence of life like Ben Gongzi, and belongs to the same people as Ben Gongzi.
Early the next morning, with the sound of fierce war drums, the army that originally surrounded the entire Wujiao City was all gathered outside the south gate, which made the county guards and officials in Wujiao City very surprised, and they couldn't understand what we were going to do, or maybe we wanted to storm the south gate.
Therefore, only a small number of soldiers were left on the other city walls, and on the city wall on the south side of the city alone, nearly 3,000 county guards were gathered, as well as the county magistrate and an official who were lying on the head of the city and probing their heads towards us.
Copied the loudspeaker handed over by Li Yuanfang, and my son began to shout: "Listen to the people and county guards of Wujiao City on the city wall, you have been surrounded......
"Eldest grandson Wuji, you dog thief, vainly since the court is as kind to your eldest grandson, but you betrayed the court and committed such a rebellious act......" This son only opened his mouth, and the Taishou roared loudly with excitement.
However, under the super brass horn of this son, no matter how full of mid-spirit, don't want to overshadow my voice, ignoring the provocation of this product, I continued to shout: "...... Now I'll give you a chance, I've let go of the three gates, and if you want to escape, just run away. However, Simon has placed special weapons in my soldiers, so don't go there......"
After yelling for a long time, no one moved, and the city gate was not opened, it seemed that my shouting was in vain, and I immediately nodded at Han Shige. "Let's start, it looks like these guys don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin."
Time passed minute by minute, and I stood on top of a boulder raised from the ground and looked in the direction of the west gate. No way, in order to put safety first, a lead wire of fifty steps long was used, and it burned for at least a quarter of an hour, enough for people to get out of the tunnel and run to a safe enough distance.
It's a pity that there are no watches and no clocks in this era, and the only thing that can keep time is either a hole pot dripping or a corona, and the problem is that both of these things are inconvenient to carry.
And just when everyone was waiting a little anxiously, they saw that the city wall on the west side of Wujiao City to the south seemed to arch upward, and it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, no, dozens or even hundreds of thunderbolts exploded at the same time.
With that terrible roar, the city wall on the southwest side of Wujiao City, like a soft cake, was trampled on, first arched towards the wall, and began to collapse, and from the gap at the bottom of the city wall, a large amount of thick white choking smoke rose up, as if it was an active volcano, it was boiling.
We can even see that a large chunk of mud from the city wall was blown into the sky, and then fell far away more than a hundred paces, and those county guards near the explosion site must not have survived, under such a huge explosion, even if there is no external injury, I am afraid that the internal organs will be shattered by the terrible shock wave
Even our side was at least a mile away from the city wall to the southwest, well, for safety, not to let the cavalry under Ben Gongzi suffer non-combat losses because of the frightened horses, so the cavalry and horses were arranged further back, almost a mile away from us.
But even so, those war horses were still taken aback, and Ben Gongzi was also taken aback, well, although he had already prepared, he was still scared, and the others were even more unbearable.
Wei Yunqi was also frightened, and almost sat on the ground, his eyes staring directly at the southwest corner of Wujiao City where the smoke was rising, and his mouth was grinning like a salted fish that was about to die of thirst. The others weren't much better, and they all looked in that direction with a blank look on their faces.
The head of the city is worse than us, well, anyway, the county guards who were originally standing on the head of the city seemed to have fallen into an evil spirit, and one or two of them all threw away the weapons in their hands and ran towards the city, and the Taishou didn't look much better, standing on the city wall in a demented state, not even moving a step, and finally being erected down by seven or eight people.
It took less than a cup of tea to make it work, almost all of them disappeared under the city wall, and soon, I saw a large number of people and those county guards fleeing from the east gate, and soon the sentinel came to report that a large number of people and county guards also fled from the north gate.
"Brother Xian, now attack?" Han Shige strode up to me and asked me.
"Don't worry, what we have to do is to occupy Wujiao City, not kill people for the sake of killing, scare them out of their hearts, and see how they are prepared to deal with it first." I shook my head. "Shangjun Taishou wants to keep the festival for Yang Guang, damn it, but the people of Wujiao City and the county guards who have more than 10,000 are innocent."
"What Brother Xian said is that Han has Meng Lang." Hearing my words, Han Shige clasped his fists at me and saluted me with admiration.
As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, this son once again rode forward, and this time, there was not even a ghost shadow above the city, when we sent a regiment of foot soldiers into Wujiao City, we realized that the population of the city, has run only half of the way, and those county soldiers, except for nearly a hundred who were injured and could not escape, the rest all drove to flash people.
In the next ten days, all the three counties belonging to Shangjun, such as Chubu County, Fuki County, and Sanchuan County, were taken. In addition, the two counties of Luochuan and Luojiao (the county is Wujiaocheng) that were won in the early stage, and the entire territory of Shangjun were taken by us.
And because most of the county officials in Shangjun are concentrated in Luochuan and Luojiao counties, except for a small number in those three counties, those three counties can be said to be easily taken.
And at this moment, it was only twenty days since Li Yuan's rebellion, and it was only fifteen days since Queen Dou arrived in Hancheng County, where her son was located. And I finally received the news about the Yaoguang girl.
When a battalion of cavalry under the command of this prince and the three hundred parts sent by Queen Dou arrived in Huxian, I realized that after the Yaoguang girl came to the Li family manor in Huxian, she disguised herself as a man, assumed the name Li Sangongzi, and began to recruit troops in this area with Li Xuanba.
And when the news came back, the Yaoguang girl was already in the area of the Li family manor, gathering a team of more than 3,000 people, plus 1,000 elite horsemen, it was already equivalent to 4,000 people.
This made Ben Gongzi happy for her, and she was naturally happy that she really deserved to be the future Princess Pingyang Zhao in just a few days, and she was able to accept so many subordinates and form an army.
And it is believed that the Yaoguang girl is preparing to lobby the rebel forces around Huxian, and she wants to unify those guys under her banner and exert greater strength to pacify this troubled world
"The third lady is really a heroine among women, with such courage, Qingxia is ashamed." Sister Qingxia, who saw this information, shook her head, with a look of admiration and envy.
Although Sister Qingxia is very confident in her martial arts, she admits that she does not have the courage and courage of Sister Yaoguang to dare to face all difficulties without flinching, well, what she told me in person, this is not just a boast, the eyes of this son can naturally distinguish the truth from the false
As for Han Shige and others, they are not much better. As for Wei Yunqi, he shook his head even more. "Mulan in the previous dynasty, Li Sanniang in the present dynasty, my Chinese heroes are doubled, and the heroines do not let the eyebrows, which is really embarrassing for Wei."
