Then he sent someone to inquire, and there was not much saltpeter in Linlan County.

The ones that were thrown out yesterday are probably all they have.

Therefore, when the army went out today, it was bound to capture the city wall, but I didn't expect today's heavy rain.

Canglan's hands clenched and creaked.

There was anger in his eyes.

God won't even help him...

"Let's go, take a detour!"

"Yes!"

It took them half a day to reach the Weiyuan Mountains, and it would take half a day to get to the place where they entered the palace.

Just as they were resting for a moment in the Weiyuan Mountains, there was a sudden loud noise.

"Bang bang bang!"

Cang Lan stood up abruptly, looking in disbelief at the bombed figure in front of him.

How is this possible?

Where did they get so much saltpeter?

"Prince, there is an ambush!"

No way! Can't be withdrawn!

Watch as more and more boulders roll down in front of you.

Once the road is blocked, it's over.

Cang Lan immediately ordered: "Rush! ”

He's gambling, betting they don't have much explosives in their hands.

But as groups of people were blown to the ground, Canglan couldn't help but panic.

If Prime Minister Xu was still there at this moment, he would definitely scold a fool angrily.

Don't fight when you should fight, and fight when you shouldn't.

Gu Qingzhao looked at Canglan from the top of the mountain. A flash of contempt flashed in his eyes.

Such a fool dares to covet his A-Ning.

Suddenly, an arrow on the mountain struck at Canglan like a bamboo.

Cang Lan was grazed on the shoulder before he could avoid it.

He looked at the tragic situation in front of him and finally gave the order to retreat.

They withdrew from the Weiyuan Mountains and prepared to raid the mountains at night.

Cang Lan thought well, and he didn't look at who he wanted to raid.

Play Raid in front of the Black Cloud Rider.

Xu Xiang had to praise him for being naïve.

As An Ning thought, Canglan had never led soldiers in the end.

Who wouldn't talk on paper?

Such a person, even if he has 200,000 soldiers and horses, how can he win.

At night, you can't see anyone, and you can only tell where others are by their voices.

Just as Canglan's army was about to cross the Weiyuan Mountains again, there was another violent sound of bombs.

Damn it!

How many explosives do they have!

How could it be that it hasn't been blown up yet!

Damn the rain was too heavy to light a torch at all.

I couldn't go up the mountain, and as soon as I got up, I was immediately blown down.

It's like knowing where they are.

As a last resort, Canglan withdrew his troops again.

He was in the tent clenching his temples tightly, and the bruises on his forehead burst out.

"Bang!"

With a hard slap on the table.

"Damn it!"

At this moment, the generals on Canglan's side already have a lot of complaints about Canglan.

A few days ago, it was clear that the prime minister said that he would fight, but the prince insisted on withdrawing the army.

Now I want to fight, but I can't.

They really doubted that the crown prince had the ability to sit in that position.

Linlan County obviously only has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and after so much time, they haven't taken down their 200,000 soldiers and horses.

It's a shame to say it.

"Prince, according to the last general, it is not suitable to attack the city now."

Cang Lan said unwillingly: "Could it be that you just give up Kyoto?" Besides, even if he wins Qihu, what if the court lets An Yi encircle and suppress it? ”

At this time, a trace of contempt flashed in the eyes of the general who spoke: "There are still enemy countries in the north, if General An is sent to fight in the south, then who will take care of the north?" An Yi came to the north to attack and attack Your Highness, and that was to give Daye to others. ”

Cang Lan was silent for a while.

"How many soldiers and horses are there today?"

"The subordinates have been counted, and now there are still 140,000 soldiers and horses, and General Qihu may have the strength to fight."

After all, Qihu only has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.

The south is mostly a small country, and almost all the heavy troops are in the north, in the hands of An Yi.

"Damn!"

There are only 30,000 or 40,000 people, so he has lost twice as much!

The adviser who had been following the prince came out to speak.

"I don't think so, after fighting for many days, there are less than 10,000 soldiers and horses left in Linlan County, but we have 140,000 people, and if we break through, we will definitely be able to break through."

Those present were silent.

The general who had just suggested hitting the rear snorted coldly.

"Who doesn't know that there are not enough soldiers and horses in Linlan County, but if you look at the explosives in their hands for so long, they haven't finished exploding, and they forcibly break through, what if the whole army is wiped out."

Cang Lan rubbed his eyebrows.

Whether to advance or retreat, there must be a decision tonight.

"I let people test the explosives yesterday, and the materials are mostly made of saltpeter, so it stands to reason that there are not so many saltpeters in Linlan County..."

"Your Highness, could it be shipped from somewhere else?"

Cang Lan shook his head.

It's only been a day, how can it be so fast, and the production doesn't take time.

None of them have figured out how to make saltpeter explode.

"For today's plan, instead of being forced to retreat to the south, and encountering almost hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, it is better to continue fighting. Now, I want to see how many explosives they have. ”

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Canglan's eyes.

If he doesn't do anything, he has no way out.

If he didn't go to the capital, if he didn't kill Emperor Xuan and didn't ascend to the throne, he would die sooner or later.

"Listen to my orders, gear up, and go to the army again!"

The rest of the generals looked at each other and finally compromised.

"Yes!"

The night wasn't over yet.

Gu Qingzhao listened to the movement in front of him under the umbrella, and a trace of depth flashed in his eyes.

Tie Xiu was surprised on the side and said, "Master Gu, your guess is really good, they are here again." ”

He originally thought that with Canglan's character, he wouldn't attack again tonight.

After all, he had missed the best period of the previous days.

"If Canglan doesn't capture Linlan County this time, sooner or later he will die."

Tie Xiu sighed and said, "But we don't have enough explosives. ”

The materials are sufficient, but there is not enough manpower and time.

Gu Qingzhao said unhurriedly: "Enough." ”

Tie Xiu was puzzled: "Why did Lord Gu say this? ”

Gu Qingzhao hooked the corners of his mouth and said: "Capture the thief and capture the king first, take advantage of the night, and take two black cloud riders to raid Canglan." ”

Immediately, Tie Xiu understood that this was a psychological warfare.

A person like Canglan who is afraid of death will lose his mind when he is in chaos.

"Good!"

Just do what you say.

The intersection at the foot of the mountain is very narrow, and there is no room for too many people passing by at one time.

When Canglan thought that the explosives were gone, he would naturally step into this narrow entrance.

And the most powerful thing about Black Cloud Riding is assassination and night vision.

Gu Qingzhao waited for only a few dozen explosives left, and ordered everyone to switch to archery.

Tie Xiu rode on the edge of the hillside with two black clouds to ambush.

Cang Lan looked at the firelight in front of him, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately he gave the order for the whole army to advance.

After Canglan's army went up the mountain one after another, he also prepared to cross the gorge of Weimeng Mountain.

At this time, there was a loud sound, and the fire flared up.

A few of them also exploded at Canglan's feet.

"Come on, protect the prince!"

Cang Lan looked at the scene in front of him.

Damn it!

The army outside can't get in, they can't get out!

Hit the plan.

Tie Xiu took a knife straight towards Canglan.
