Chapter 633: Tragedy
After two shellings, the fighting eerily stopped.
Qin Huaidao bombed the city gate and put on an offensive posture, but in fact, it was tactical blackmail, forcing the opponent to withdraw his troops and relieving the pressure of the other three gates, seeing that the effect was good, he naturally would not really take the opportunity to attack the city, although the special operations division could fight, but the strength was still too small, and it was not enough to see in the face of the 100,000 Tubo army, so he could only outwit it.
The enemy withdrew his troops back to the city, and there was no intention of fighting again, Qin Huaidao accepted it when he saw it, led the artillery battalion to withdraw to the formation, signaled to be on alert, and was ready for artillery bombardment at any time.
The remnant sun is like blood, and the wind is cold.
There is a depressing aura of imminent war between heaven and earth.
A flag soldier flew to the horse, pulled the reins on the ground, the war horse man stood up, let out a dissatisfied roar, the flag soldier clenched his fists and shouted: "Young master, An Guogong sent someone to send a message, the enemy army has retreated from the three gates attack, our army has won a great victory, killing more than 8,000 enemies in total, and our army has suffered more than 2,000 casualties, please instruct." ”
"Keep digging the trench, and there must be no mistake!"
"Obey!" The flag soldier pulled the reins and beat his horse away.
"Zhao Long!"
"Here!" Zhao Long trotted up.
"Mobilize three grenadiers to support the three gates, each with ten shells, aim at the exit of the city gate, and explode as long as the enemy comes out, there must be no mistake."
"Obey!" Zhao Long hurriedly went to arrange.
The city gate is so big, as long as it is hit accurately enough, it will definitely blow up a large area, ten times in a row, even if it can't blow up the city gate hole, the dead body is enough to block the exit, causing big trouble for the enemy attack, and the imperial army can deal with it calmly.
It's a pity that there aren't many grenadiers, otherwise there are fifty grenadiers on each door, and as many kills as there are.
At this time, Li Jing came over and said with emotion: "Virtuous nephew, your artillery bombardment is too powerful, the old man has fought all his life, he asked himself some means, but he couldn't find a way to restrain himself, the future battlefield is definitely the world of artillery." ”
Qin Huaidao nodded in agreement, even if the artillery of later generations is the master, it is too expensive.
As soon as the cannon sounds, there are ten thousand taels of gold!
Li Jing looked at the city in front of him and continued: "The old man now understands why you surrounded and did not fight, but let people dig trenches, this is to prevent the enemy from jumping over the wall in a hurry and breaking through with his life, but relying on the convenience of the city, Tubo can't hold on, what can I do?" You'll have enough cannonballs to raze the city to the ground. ”
"Nope!" Qin Huaidao said truthfully.
"So what's next?" Li Jing asked.
Qin Huaidao looked at the city and was silent, but the corners of his mouth hooked up a touch of killing intent in his hand, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, when the trench is dug well, it will be natural to know, and you will be able to take the city tomorrow." ”
"Tomorrow, are you sure?"
Li Jing was taken aback, seeing Qin Huaidao nodding confidently, his curiosity suddenly increased, and he even scratched his paws in his heart, seeing that Qin Huaidao had no meaning to explain, he thought about it carefully, but he couldn't help but sigh: "The old man can't think of a way, it seems that he is really old, 30,000 against 100,000, if he takes the city in one day, it will definitely go down in history, this trip can witness a miracle, and there is no regret in death!" ”
"You can take it tomorrow, aren't you kid fooling me?" Cheng Yanjin's eyes widened, full of disbelief.
"Maybe half a day." Qin Huaidao said with some uncertainty, after all, morale is not easy to control.
Cheng Yanjin became more and more unbelievable, and defeated the 100,000 Tubo army in half a day, this is what people can do? "Are you sure?" How strong the Qin army was back then, Bai Qi was the first soldier in the family, and it took a long time to lead the army to attack Zhao State, and your troops were less than one-third of your opponent's strength, are you really joking? ”
"Why don't you take it tonight?" Qin Huaidao said with a smile.
"Uh......"
Cheng Yanjin didn't know what to say, this breath was a little bigger, and he took it tonight, he didn't dare to make it up like this, and he was a little boundless.
Li Jing saw that Qin Huaidao was really sure, at least he wasn't joking, and his curiosity became even stronger, and he asked, "Are you sure you're not joking, take it in one night?" ”
"Try it, I originally wanted the army to come from afar, the soldiers are tired and tired, and it is not suitable to fight, but I look at the sky, there is a strong wind tonight, and the bright moon is bright, which is conducive to night attacks." Qin Huaidao said with a smile.
"You can watch the sky?" Li Jing asked in surprise.
"I understand!"
"How to identify?" Li Jing was ashamed to ask, this method is mysterious, and it will benefit immensely if you master it.
"Yes, let's talk about it, let us know that it may be useful in the future." Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but ask.
Qin Huaidao didn't hide his selfishness, and said with a smile: "It's not difficult, the sunset is thousands of miles, indicating that the weather is clear, and the morning glow is full of sky, then there is a great possibility of rain, and cirrus clouds appear in the sky, which is pure white horsetail-shaped, but it slowly darkens, which means that it is sunny now, but it may rain a day later." The appearance of cumulonim clouds in the sky, that is, the dark color of the clouds and thick layers, indicate thunderstorms and strong winds, and the sky has thin cirrostratus clouds, like white pebbles on the beach, and it may rain after half a day. ”
"Huh?"
The two hurriedly looked up at the sky, and saw that there were piles of chaotic clouds in the sky, dark gray, very thick, according to the saying, this cloud is cumulonomic clouds, indicating heavy rain and strong winds, really? Fake?
The two obviously didn't believe it, but thinking of Qin Huaidao's various miracles, it was not good to openly doubt it, and secretly wrote down what Qin Huaidao said just now, this is the legendary method of observing the heavens, if it is fulfilled, wouldn't it be a great means to master?
"Drive-"
Not far away, a guard galloped towards him.
After approaching, Le Ma stopped, hugged his fists and said: "Young Master Qiqi, the brothers reconnoitred the surroundings and found some village forts, but none of the people survived, regardless of men, women and children, all of them were killed, piled up together, the death was tragic, the food at home was looted, the chickens and dogs were not left, and the wells were thrown into corpses. ”
"Kiyono Fortified?!"
Qin Huaidao blurted out, immediately became furious, turned over to the door, and told Luo Ying: "Once the enemy leaves the city, bombard the city gate, delay the attack speed, kill me back, but you must not attack the city." ”
"Obey!" Luo Ying solemnly clenched his fists.
"The Guards come with me and lead the way......"
Qin Huaidao glanced at the guards who reported the news, and rushed forward on horseback.
Luo Wu hurriedly followed the guards with the guards regiment, just in case.
Li Jing and Cheng Yanjin exchanged glances, left nothing to do, and turned over on their horses to catch up.
"Drive!"
"Drive!"
The group galloped and galloped, and soon came to a village, which was lifeless, there was no sound at all, and the air was filled with the smell of corpses.
When I came to the entrance of the village, I saw that the ground was full of male corpses, the corpses had been dried and decomposed, countless flies were flying, and they had been dead for some time, and there were various tools scattered on the ground.
Qin Huaidao turned over and dismounted, took out a handkerchief to cover his nose, and said in a deep voice: "Don't get close, take a few feet back, be careful of infection." ”
Once the corpse decomposes, it will breed all kinds of viruses, which is not trivial and has to be prevented.
Everyone knew that Qin Huaidao was proficient in medical skills, and they retreated one after another, and also learned to take out a handkerchief and the like to cover their mouth and nose.
Qin Huaidao slowly walked up to the village, and saw that countless houses inside were scorched and collapsed, and there were charred corpses nearby, twisted and twisted, clearly burned alive, and there were several women and children lying not far away, and the youngest child was still in swaddling clothes, and he was also killed with a knife.
When I walked in, several corpses were gnawed by wild beasts in their abdomen, and their expressions were hideous, and they didn't blink a glance.
The further he went, the more corpses were killed, Qin Huaidao came to the door of the largest room, it looked like an ancestral hall, which was full of old people who had died miserably, and there were several younger women in the room next to him, but there was no trace of his body, obviously he was humiliated before he died, or in a sensitive place like the ancestral hall, what a humiliation was this?
"Ahh
Qin Huaidao looked up to the sky and roared, endless anger burning in his heart, and his eyes were cold.
Even selfish people will feel sympathy when they see this scene, not to mention that Qin Huaidao was born in the military, although he is not a virgin, but he also has morality in his heart, and he can't see people bullying the weak people.
"Uncle!" Luo Wu heard the shouting and was worried that something was wrong, so he rushed in to check.
When he saw the corpses of the women piled up together, his eyes were desperate and empty, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, his eyes instantly turned red, and he roared angrily: "Beasts, Tubo dogs, can't die well, Lao Tzu and them are incompatible." ”
"Boom!"
Luo Wu slammed his fist into the wall, and the wall cracked and crumbled.
Scarlet eyes looked at Qin Huaidao, like a raging beast, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Uncle-"
Qin Huaidao nodded indifferently, and his heart was also full of murderous intent.
