Volume 2 Kyoto Chapter 368 Breaking the Army, Destroying
On the second day after Suoyan dug the tunnel, he had some gains, so he immediately found Huang Zhang.
"Your Highness, something is wrong!"
Seeing Suo Yan's panicked appearance, Huang Zhang chuckled in his heart.
"What's wrong?"
"The tunnels we dug have been opened! The thieves outside the city took the opportunity to dig tunnels! ”
Hearing this news, Huang Zhang secretly said sure enough.
The anti-thief army was too quiet and abnormal during this time, the more this was the case, the more worried Huang Zhang became, after all, there must be a demon when something went wrong, combined with the gunpowder found by Fan Lingfeng, Huang Zhang probably guessed the purpose of that Tianyuan Great Venerable.
"Take me to see it!"
Afterwards, Suoyan took Huang Zhang to the dug tunnel.
Sure enough, at the mouth of the tunnel that had been dug up, they found a tunnel that extended out.
"Have you sent someone to check?"
Suoyan shook his head.
"It's not time yet."
After all, this tunnel was just dug by them, and without an order, no one knew what was going on inside, so they didn't dare to go down rashly.
"Cen Shang, take your forbidden soldiers and go down with me!" Huang Zhang suddenly ordered.
"Your Highness, just go down your subordinates, it's too dangerous for you to go down!" Cen Shang persuaded.
"Was there any danger on the battlefield last time?"
As soon as Huang Zhang said this, Cen Shang stopped talking. Also, thousands of troops have broken through, how can this small broken tunnel stop this fateful master.
Cen Shang didn't say much, called all the surrounding forbidden army guards, and followed Huang Zhang down the tunnel.
As soon as he entered the tunnel, Huang Zhang smelled a pungent smell.
"Gunpowder!" Huang Zhang immediately shouted.
It seems that if he is a little later, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable.
Following the smell, at the bottom of the city walls, they happened to find a number of wooden barrels, and the pungent smell came from these barrels.
After taking advantage of the dark environment to clean up the anti-thief soldiers guarding the guard, Cen Shang looked at the wooden barrels and said curiously:
"Your Highness, what should I do?".
He instinctively sensed that the contents of these barrels were dangerous.
"Let them all move back! Be careful, no open flames can be seen! ”
"Yes!"
At the sound of an order, the powder kegs that were secretly placed under the city wall by the anti-thief army were removed by the forbidden army one by one.
"Since this tunnel was dug by the anti-thief army, that is to say, from this tunnel, you can go straight to the anti-thief army camp!"
"What does Your Highness mean?"
"The thief is today!"
“……”
Cen Shang knew Huang Zhang's thoughts, and in order to prevent Huang Zhang from continuing to risk his life, he immediately stood up and said: "Please entrust Your Highness with such a heavy responsibility, I will live up to Your Highness's trust!" ”
Following Huang Zhang these times, Cen Shang also got to know this little-known prince, and he knew that if he didn't take risks, he was afraid that it would be this big prince who took risks.
According to His Majesty the Emperor's order, the eldest prince cannot afford to lose, he doesn't want to collect the body of the eldest prince when the time comes, rather than this, it is better to let himself do these dangerous things instead of him.
In fact, Cen Shang thought too much about it this time, Huang Zhang didn't plan to fight in person at all, the last time he led the troops to deal with the anti-thieves and attack the camp first, it had his own purpose, this time it was just an ambush for the anti-thief army, he definitely wouldn't put himself in a dangerous situation.
The tunnel was just to test his conjecture, and he felt that he was not afraid of any anti-thief soldiers in the narrow tunnel.
However, Cen Shang didn't understand this, he thought that Huang Zhang was a warmonger, and he liked to do everything himself.
Of course, soldiers prefer this kind of commander, after all, they can live and die with them.
But this is very unfriendly to Cen Shang, if Huang Zhang has an accident, he will not survive.
Seeing Cen Shang taking the initiative to ask for help, Huang Zhang naturally had no reason to refuse, and after explaining some details to Cen Shang, he withdrew from the tunnel with Hu Yi'er.
"Childe, are you really not going?" Hu Yi'er asked in disbelief.
Hearing that Hu Yi'er was also so strange, it caught Huang Zhang off guard.
"What? Do you think I'll go to the anti-thief camp myself? ”
"Isn't it?" Hu Yier asked rhetorically.
“……”
"If it were according to the previous character of the childe, I am afraid that he would have personally led people to the anti-thief army camp."
"Am I as reckless as you say?"
When Hu Yi'er heard this, she rolled her eyes at him, "Childe knows that he is reckless!" I thought Childe knew about it before. ”
“……”
Back on the ground, Suo Yan immediately came over and asked what the barrels were filled with, Huang Zhang asked the forbidden army to bring these barrels up, and he didn't say what they were used for, he was really a little curious.
However, Huang Zhang didn't bother to explain to him, and just asked him if there was a projectile on the city tower.
"Projectiles? Yes...... Yes! ”
These projectiles in Licheng were originally used to defend the city against siege weapons, and Suo Yan didn't know what Huang Zhang wanted these projectiles for, and in the past few days, the stones that were originally used to smash equipment have also been consumed, and the projectiles have been idle.
"Call everyone to the City Lord's Mansion immediately, today, break the enemy!"
As soon as he heard that Huang Zhang was going to break the enemy, Suo Yan didn't dare to slack off, and immediately nodded in agreement.
Not long after, the main generals of the Beijing army gathered in the city lord's mansion.
"Liao Jie, you take 10,000 Beijing troops to block the road where the anti-thief army is fleeing."
"Xin Zhuo, you took 10,000 Beijing troops out of the city, but when you saw a loud noise in the camp of the anti-thief army, you immediately attacked the opponent's camp!"
“……”
This is the first time that Huang Zhang has commanded the soldiers of the Beijing army to fight as the eldest prince, and he has given Suo Yan ideas before, and he did not give direct orders like today.
However, everyone present was not dissatisfied, Huang Zhang's ability these days is obvious to all, and being able to cultivate Xin Zhuo and 10,000 elite Beijing troops into such a way has been recognized by everyone here, plus his status as the eldest prince, if you want to talk about prestige, it may be higher than Suo Yan.
After giving a series of orders to attack, Huang Zhang and Suo Yan personally ascended the Licheng Tower.
He wants to use the gunpowder he brought back to make the other party suffer!
Suo Yan couldn't help but look forward to seeing Huang Zhang ordering people to load barrels of gunpowder onto the projectile machine.
He wanted to see how amazing the things that the great prince had gotten were.
The leads of these barrels were relatively long, and after Huang Zhang ignited them, he waited for a while before letting the soldiers throw them out.
Watching one after another barrel with sparks smashed towards the enemy camp, Suoyan's eyes widened, for fear of missing any details.
But it turned out that there was no need for him to widen his eyes, and when the barrel had not yet hit the ground, a huge shock wave burst out from the camp of the anti-thief army, centered on one wooden barrel after another, and the lines like water waves vibrated out, and then, a huge sound reached Suo Yan's ears, scaring him directly to the ground.
This loud sound like thunder made Suo Yan a little stunned.
Not only Suoyan, but also the soldiers and generals on the city tower were caught off guard and were taken aback.
