Chapter 378: Gunpowder Rescues
Wu Fort collapsed.
It collapsed in front of everyone's eyes in Meijiabao.
At that moment, as Wu Fort fell, the deafening roar and the shaking of the ground made many people change their faces directly.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? β
"Did God thunder?"
The people who had never seen this battle showed panic on their faces, and some even knelt down directly.
Mei Youqian and Wei Meili glanced at each other, and reacted at that time.
Dynamite!
Is this something like explosives on the other side?
"Didn't Berry Bao say that she seemed to have sent someone to develop this thing? Can anyone else do this? β
Mei Youqian was speechless.
"Have you forgotten what happened to Yanpingguan the year before last?"
After being reminded by his wife, they remembered that this world is not without gunpowder.
"Well, the soldiers who went to the front just now......"
Mei Youqian's voice trembled slightly, and everyone's hearts suddenly sank.
"The castle has been blown up, and the enemy will rush in later! When the time comes, they will not dare to bomb at will in close combat, and the next step is hand-to-hand combat. β
The militiamen guarding the village stood up at this time, protecting the old and young in the village to retreat, and some took the initiative to stand up and defend against outsiders with the militia.
So, when Mei Berry and Mei You Yongyuan came down from the city wall behind Zhuangzi, they happened to meet the retreating Old Lady Gu, as well as Miao and Wei Meimei.
"Berry Bao, my eyes are not flowering, are they?"
Wei Meili rubbed her eyes in disbelief when she saw Mei Berry appear in front of her eyes.
"Mother! It's me. Where's my dad? β
Mei Berry was of course very happy when she saw Wei Mei.
But in the next second, she found that it was the third aunt Miao who was accompanying her mother.
At a glance, not only is Mei Youqian not there, but Mei Youcai is no longer there.
Miao was also very happy to see Mei Berry and Mei You, but she was very worried when she was happy, and asked, "Why are you here now?" β
"Ah, we're back to help you!"
"Nonsense! How can you three come back and help? β
Wei Meili was also speechless, she raised her eyes and looked behind her, there was really no one behind them.
Mei Berry smiled confidently at this and reassured: "Don't worry, I'm coming back to do a big thing!" By the way, what about my father and third uncle? β
Plum Berry is still thinking about her father.
Seeing that Mei Berry had been thinking about it, Wei Meili could only say: "Your father and your third uncle went to join the militia in Zhuangzi, and if he really rushed in, he could also help." β
"Yan'er, no one can not send this kid over, isn't this sending the three of you...... It's not ......"
Old Mrs. Gu was also here, and when she saw her future granddaughter-in-law and her plum berry rushing over, she was a heart stopper, and she scolded her unlucky son and grandson in her heart.
Such a dangerous place, are they crazy?
"Yan Pingguan is okay?"
Old Madam Gu was also worried about Yan Pingguan, and thought in her heart that Yan Pingguan couldn't keep it, so the three of them came here?
It's just that the Gu family's war thinking is all on the man's head, and the old lady Gu is not on the spot, Mei You only said that she was stumped, and she didn't say it very seriously.
It's been here for a while, and Plum Berry and they are really in a hurry, and Plum Berry doesn't want to say anything else now, so he asks, "Where is the Winged Liberator?" β
"Jieyi should send the ballista to the front."
The militia guarding the villagers here remembered the traces of the wings and told them about Meiberry.
"Okay, let's go find Xie Yi first, ah, by the way, sister, you put down the explosives you are carrying first."
When Mei Berry and the others went down the city wall through the rope just now, Mei You alone carried down the hundred catties of explosives.
Now that they're here and running around, Plum Berry thinks she'd better put the explosives away before looking for someone.
"Okay."
By the way, Mei Berry took some from her own space when she was helping Mei You unload the explosives.
When he learned that Mei Berry and Mei You were back, Xie Yi was also stunned.
"Where did you come from?"
Xie Yi not only saw Meiberry and Meiyou, but also saw Yongyuan by the way.
I was a little surprised and a little angry, "Why are you all back?" Such a dangerous time! β
"I'm only coming back because it's dangerous!"
Mei Berry blocked his words, and when he saw that he wanted to say a few more words, Mei Berry didn't waste his time, so he said, "Oh, don't say it, quickly find out the trebuchet in the Zhuangzi, the trebuchet in my previous plan didn't you do it, right?" β
"Yes, yes, yes."
As soon as he mentioned the plan, Xie Yi's muscles tensed subconsciously, and the memory of being pressed by Xie Dachen to work in the depths of his memory attacked him again.
"Then let the trebuchet find it for me, we're back with explosives."
"Really!"
Xie Yi's eyes lit up, he didn't see the letter written by Mei Berry, what was the explosive that Mei Berry said in the way of nature.
"I'm going to get the trebuchet here, by the way, I have to send someone to tell Mr. Hu about this news!"
When it comes to Mr. Hu, Mei Berry and Mei You naturally want to know what is going on now.
Xie Yi went to get busy, and Plum Berry and the others left one to inquire about the situation.
"Fortunately, Mr. Hu's eyes were sharp, and he saw that the outside wanted to use black powder against us.
Mr. Hu told us to stay away from Wubao in advance and protect ourselves. said that when the other side blew up the Wu Fort, when the time came, they would rush in, and the enemy and the enemy would not dare to use black powder on the other side. β
Hu Yanqing was first stunned when he learned that Meiberry and the others had climbed down from the city wall, but the next second he was immediately ecstatic when he heard that Meiberry had brought explosives, and said in a loud voice: "Don't worry, don't worry, I, I'll change the formation and beat them out first!" β
After speaking, Hu Yanqing immediately changed his strategy, and commanded the soldiers who rushed in to beat them out again.
After that, he had been observing the enemy generals who had not yet attacked, and when he saw them so "stubbornly resisting", a sneer flashed across the corners of his mouth.
"Stubborn!"
Is it true that their black powder is vegetarian?
"The trebuchet pushes forward 20 zhang"
This time, the other party intends to push the trebuchet directly across the moat.
"This time, the black powder must be blown directly through his entire Zhuangzi."
As soon as the unknown general finished speaking, a sentry shouted: "General! TheyβThey also have trebuchets! β
"So what?"
For a few trebuchets pushed by Meijiabao, the unknown general was full of disdain.
"Throwing a few rocks scares you? Keep pushing. β
No matter what the reaction of Meijiabao's side is, this side intends to continue to advance.
Seeing that the other party's trebuchet was pushed outside Wubao, the smart general smiled even more: "This is to occupy an area, and you don't plan to move the place for our trebuchet, right?" β
As soon as he finished speaking, the explosives ignited on the side of Meijiabao were thrown away by trebuchets.
It wasn't until the first explosive was dropped in mid-air that someone finally saw the burning fuse on it!
"That's ......"
"Boom!" The words of the sharp-eyed man were drowned out in the explosion.
And this explosion turned the tide in an instant.
"Don't stop! Put a few more! β
Originally, Meiberry was still thinking about just putting a few bombs to scare it away, but what happened?
Good fellows, those trebuchets are pressing down on them like this, obviously trying to blow them up!
With that, Plum Berry urged to hand bomb after bomb to the trebuchet.
Light one, give one;
Light one, give one.
Mei Berry was energetic, and Mei You was wondering next to her.
"Anyway...... Do we have so much explosives with us? β
Plum Berry: 0.0!
"That's pretty much it." Quietly in his heart, his face was unusually calm, and he wanted to ignite the last few bombs, but then Mei Berry heard Mei You's words and put them down.
She coughed lightly and said, "It's almost blown up, let's see what else is outside?" β
