Chapter 617: The Battle of the Boundless Pass II
When those fireworks burst into the air.
When one or two flowers occasionally bloomed on the wall, it really scared the soldiers of the Wu army.
Xia Li, the general of Zhenbei, stood neatly on the Guan Tower, listening to the sound like thunder, looking at the billowing smoke, and the dazzling fire when it exploded, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and muttered:
"It turns out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants this general to guard against this thing!"
An adjutant general beside him also looked at the smoke in the air that still hadn't dispersed and asked:
"General, what is this?"
"Fireworks!"
“…… Firework? ”
"Well," Xia Li nodded, "It was invented by the dead regent of Ning Kingdom, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that this thing is extremely powerful!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a firework fell on the wall not far from him.
"Boom......!" There was an earth-shattering bang.
"Ah......h A tragic exclamation sounded.
Xia Li and his lieutenant suddenly felt the vibration under their feet, and the two of them looked over to that place, and they couldn't help but gasp with a "......"!
The wall didn't collapse, but the soldiers guarding the place died completely under the explosion!
The ground was littered with severed limbs, and the walls were sprayed with horrific blood!
The soldier who was a little distance from the explosion fell to the ground.
They got up with difficulty, crying and crying for their mothers and fleeing in panic.
"This ...... General, if this all falls on this wall, won't our people die a fine death? ”
Xia Li's eyebrows furrowed, he looked at the Ning Jun camp under the pass, pondered for a moment, and said:
"General Ma,"
"The last general!"
"Order all the soldiers to draw their bows and arrows, and they must not be half a step close to the wall! The Ning army must be kept out of the range of the arrows! ”
"The last general commands!"
General Na Ma hurried away with his sword in hand, and Xia Li walked towards the place where the fireworks exploded just now.
He took a closer look, and then silently returned to the command building on the wall.
"Eagle,"
"The last general!"
"The flying pigeon sent a message to the seven generals of the Seven Cities, ordering them to lead 5,000 cavalry to rush to the aid of Wuyiguan as quickly as possible!"
"The last general obeys!"
Xia Li sat on the chair and picked up the teacup, but she didn't drink it for a long time.
He was wondering what kind of method Ning Jun would use to throw those fireworks at this wall from a long distance and accurately.
If Ning Jun really did it, then how should he deal with it?
Wu Mian!
What would you do?
How many fireworks do you still have in your hands?
Just when Xia Li was thinking about this, a beautiful girl in white clothes came to the command building.
She's Summer Flower!
Xia Hua, the little junior sister of the Seven Swords of Tianyin Pavilion!
"Second Uncle,"
"Ah, didn't the second uncle tell you to get out of here? Why haven't you left yet? ”
Xia Hua smiled slightly and sat opposite Xia Li, "I was about to leave, but I didn't expect to see the fireworks, I thought about it and thought about staying and taking a look." ”
"This is war! It's not a small fight in the rivers and lakes! ”
Xia Li's expression was serious, and he said:
"You also saw the power of the fireworks, this is no longer a divine object that martial arts can compete with!"
"Second Uncle pondered, even if it was a great grandmaster, if it was blown up, I am afraid it would be difficult to be spared."
"If you are injured by that thing, how will the second uncle face your father and mother?"
"Go back, obedient!"
Xia Hua didn't go.
She even made a pot of tea.
"The power of this firework is not as powerful as what I have seen in Xishan."
Xia Li was stunned, "Is that the firework that killed Li Chen'an?" ”
Xia Hua's face darkened and nodded.
"The fireworks completely destroyed the Jishan Temple, and also blew up a huge crater in the ground!"
"If that kind of powerful fireworks fall on the wall, I guess the wall will be blown up."
Xia Li frowned again, does Ning Jun have that kind of fireworks that are more powerful?
"My niece also looked carefully just now, and Ning Jun is a stone's throw away from the wall."
"They're down the hill, they're going to go up, they're going to throw fireworks to this height...... Except for the martial arts masters who threw them with internal force, it was impossible for them to throw them against the wall. ”
Xia Hua took a pinch of tea leaves and put them in the teapot, and said, "The burst of fireworks just now, many of them exploded in the air, I think...... The explosion of that thing is not human-controllable, and the time to detonate it is very short, so even if they are thrown by a master of the rivers and lakes, they will explode before they can land on the wall. ”
"So, my niece thinks it's the night to be on guard!"
"At night, if the Ning army sends a master to sneak under the wall, bury the fireworks under the wall and explode......"
Xia Hua extinguished the fire, poured Xia Li a cup of tea, raised her eyes, and said, "Maybe you can blow up this wall!" ”
Xia Li was startled when she heard this.
After thinking about it carefully, I felt that Xia Hua's words were very likely.
He didn't have time to drink tea, he suddenly stood up, "Herald!" ”
"The last general!"
"Quickly summon eight generals to come to the command post, this general has something important to discuss!"
……
……
Boundless.
The smell of gunsmoke filled the air, but no fireworks bloomed again.
So the smell gradually disappeared with the wind, and it gradually faded.
General Wu Mian looked at the high pass with his hands behind his back, his eyebrows furrowed, and his face was extremely serious.
To his right is Yan Ji Nong, and to his left is Yan Ji Dao.
Behind him...... It's the swallow husband!
There is no third prince Ning Zhiyuan here.
No one knows where Yan Jidao sent him.
"It looks like this attack is too ineffective."
Wu Mian pointed to the towering wall in the distance, and said, "A total of thirty fireworks were thrown, but only three fell on the wall. ”
"The rest, all exploded in the air."
"I guess if you want to drop all the fireworks on the wall, the thrower will have to climb at least a hundred feet up......"
"But Xia Li's gang will definitely attack with arrows, without the cover of the army, even if he is a master of the rivers and lakes, it will be difficult to prevent the arrow feathers in the sky."
Yan Jinong thought for a while, and asked at this moment: "General, can you lengthen the fuse of that firework?" ”
Wu Mian pondered for a moment and shook his head: "After all, most of the numbers can't be lost." ”
Yan Jidao said: "What if I go to protect the thrower? How is it? ”
Wu Mian shook his head again: "The enemy is waiting for work, and round after round of arrows and feathers are constantly attacking, and you will eventually run out of strength." ”
"So what to do?"
Wu Mian frowned, "Wait!" ”
"What are you waiting for?"
"Wait for the moon, dark and windy night!"
Wu Mian turned around, "Let's go, go back to the tent, if the moon is dark and the wind is high, when the night comes, beat the drum and shout on the east side of the wall to make a feint!" ”
"Gather all those who know martial arts on the west side of the wall."
"Thank you Brother Yan, you took these people, with fireworks, and touched under the wall under the cover of night."
"Bury the fireworks in the root of the wall."
"As long as we blow up a ten-zhang long section, we can launch a surprise attack!"
"Zifu!"
"The last general!"
Wu Mian looked back at Yanzifu.
"You have 20,000 soldiers in ambush in the western section of the wall, once the fireworks explode under the wall......"
"You must rush over with 20,000 soldiers as soon as possible!"
Yanzifu nodded firmly: "The last general will take the order!" ”
