Chapter 1187: Abandon the city and flee

There are several kinds of explosives from Zhao's weapons workshop, some of which blow up stones, some of which have strong penetration, and some of which are generally lethal like scattered flowers of the Heavenly Maiden.

Now it's blowing up outside, but it sounds very loud, but the lethality is not very good.

After all, he is his own person, not a foreign enemy, and Wang Xuan doesn't want to use too cruel tactics.

Like Gan Zhuo, he didn't think that he could quickly take down Wangcai County, his goal was Jianchang, it would take a while for Zhou's reinforcements to come from Nanchang, and the best way for Wangcai to ask for help from Jianchang was to ask for help.

Don't look at his fierce fighting, his troops mainly went to Jianchang, half ambushed on the road, half bypassed, as long as Jianchang's army came out, they would attack the city.

Take Jianchang, even if you can't defeat Wangcai, then the army will have a place to repair and supply.

But...... Wang Xuan overestimated Wang Xuan and underestimated the power of explosives.

This explosion made the soldiers tremble, Wang Xuan and Gan Zhuo were nowhere to be seen, and the generals below ordered the soldiers to pick up their weapons and hold on, but with little effect.

At this time, rumors came from the city that the county guard was going to abandon the city and flee, and the people were already in the carriage, and General Gandra ran to stop it......

The rumor spread rapidly among the soldiers, and by the time the general heard it, the morale of the army had already collapsed, and the rumor had become, "General! The county guards have all fled, what city are we still guarding? General Gan went to stop the county guard from abandoning the city and escaping and was killed! ”

The general's eyes widened, and he forgot for a moment to stop them from escaping, but asked, "How do you know?" ”

"That's what everybody says!"

In a word, the general's back was cold, and he knew that it was over, and he immediately drew his sword and killed several soldiers who had turned and fled, and ordered them not to spread rumors again, and everyone went to the city wall.

"No one is allowed to run around without an order, take all bows and arrows, and keep them out of the enemy!"

But he could only stop for a while, and in the absence of Wang Xuan, even if the soldiers were forced to the city, their sense of resistance was very low.

Wang Xuan keenly noticed that the arrows shot down did not match the number of people on the city wall, and he was also very unqualified, after all, they had fought a lot in the past half a month.

Is it pretending to be invincible, trying to lure them deeper?

Access to the city...... Is Uncle Xuan sure that he will be able to fight back after letting them into the city?

After thinking about Wang Xuan's personality and ability, Wang Xuan squinted, turned his head and asked, "Go find the captain of the scout battalion." ”

The captain ran over, and Wang Xuan asked him, "Are you sure that there is only one army in Wangcai City, Wang Xuan, and no other reinforcements?" ”

The captain said: "In addition to the original garrison of more than 100 people who stayed in Wangcai County, there is indeed only one army of Wang Xuan, we have scouts to sneak into Wangcai in advance, if there is a large army into the city, there will be no news." ”

Wang Xuan turned back and forth twice, "If there are no reinforcements, that is, Wang Xuan is dizzy, and he dares to use the inner city to set up an ambush with his little strength?" ”

The mouth was opened, and Wang Xuan immediately said: "Pull the latest two trebuchets over, throw explosives into the city, aim at the head of the city, and throw a distance of about fifty meters inside the city gate, and prepare a ladder!" ”

The new trebuchet in the Zhao Weapon Workshop also has a scale on it, which can not only throw farther, but also more accurately.

Their trebuchets have been trained for two months, and they have basically mastered it, and today we can see their skills.

Originally, he planned to save it for the time when he fought Nanchang, but the time has come at this moment, and if he doesn't use it, he will regret it.

Wang Xuan was finally persuaded by Gan Zhuo, gave up escaping, and followed Gan Zhuo to the city gate with a sword and a sword, intending to encourage everyone to stick to Wangcai.

The busy soldiers on the city wall saw Wang Xuan come up with a serious face, and their panicked hearts settled slightly, and they finally stopped running around.

Under Gan Zhuo's shouting and angry scolding, everyone finally calmed down, and just as everyone was trying to fight back, there was a bang from the other side, and a bag of sparkling things flew high, and after passing over their heads, it smashed under the castle tower, and the boxy thing wrapped in sackcloth was slammed loudly when they wondered what it was......

Everyone's eyes widened, and before they could react, with a bang, the square linen bag thrown from the air slammed on the city tower, Gan Zhuo's pupils shrank, and he shouted loudly: "Get out of the way-"

Before a word fell, it exploded with a bang, and everyone's ears buzzed, and there was a fire in front of them......

Wang Xuan sat on the ground, his hands and feet were weak, he couldn't see or hear anything else in his eyes and ears, and he crawled down the city tower to escape......

The little fighting spirit that the soldiers had just aroused collapsed in an instant, and the county guards all ran away, how many soldiers were willing to defend the city?

Gan Zhuo was furious, and he was about to kill Wang Xuan with his sword, but the general hurriedly stopped Gan Zhuo, hugged his waist and shouted: "General, if you kill the county guard, General Wang will not let you go." ”

Gan Zhuo pushed him away and said, "If you don't kill him today, this city will not be able to hold it!" ”

After that, Gan Zhuo was going to catch Wang Xuan's sacrificial flag, Wang Xuan's guards hurriedly protected him, and fled down the city tower with Wang Xuan, seven or eight explosive bags flew over in succession, the army was panicked, Zhao Jiajun had already carried the ladder and ran quickly on the city wall, Gan Zhuo looked at Wang Xuan's fleeing back, stomped his feet fiercely, and turned around to organize soldiers to kill the enemy.

Wang Xuan ran all the way, and the city was empty, because of the war, the people were hiding in their homes, so there were only soldiers running in a hurry on the road.

Wang Xuan climbed into the carriage, and the guard slapped the horse's ass and hurried away.

He didn't think he was alive until he leaned on the trunk, and he opened the curtain in horror and looked out, until he left the other gate, and he found that there were not a single people in the city or outside the city.

This was not possible in cities that had fought wars in the past.

He couldn't help but ask the guards, "Why don't the people run away?" ”

The guard said: "The Zhao family army has strict military rules, and the people must not offend the people, as long as the people are at home, they will be fine, so they will not run away." ”

After pondering for a moment, Wang Hui asked, "What if the people harbor the enemy?" ”

The guard said: "As long as they hand over their weapons, the Zhao family army will not pursue it." ”

Wang Xuan: "Don't take prisoners either?" ”

The guard nodded, "Don't take prisoners, let them go back to their hometowns, if they have nowhere to go, they can also settle down as refugees." ”

Wang Xuan was silent, and sighed after a long time: "We have lost the hearts of the people, and Jiangnan can't hold it." ”

The guard was silent for a moment and then reminded: "Lang Jun might as well think about where to go, you abandon the city and flee, this is a big crime." ”

Wang Xuan was ashamed: "Go back to Jiankang." ”

Guard: "Will the king ask for guilt?" ”

Wang Xuan: "I will go and ask for my sin, and I will not die." ”

Wang Xuan directly asked the guards to bypass Nanchang, leaving the entire Yuzhang County, and no longer caring about Wang Dun's orders, and ran back to Jiankang directly.

Originally, King Langya also ordered him to return to Jiankang, forget it, he is not good at this, let's go back, he really can't do his cousin's request. (End of chapter)
