Cui Cheng pressed Tan Guohua under the battlement to dodge, "Don't move!"

"Sir, they're not going to attack you, are they?"

"Probably not, the Khitans are all cavalry, they don't bring siege equipment, and the strong attack will only cause heavy casualties, if I'm not mistaken, they should be here to 'fight the grass valley'!"

Wang Xianling, who was probably a military general, replaced the lieutenant and personally commanded the defenders at the head of the city, and took advantage of the attack of the Khitan cavalry to order the archers to launch a counterattack.

You come and go, the two sides shot a pillar of incense at each other, the Khitan cavalry suddenly retreated a hundred steps collectively, a Khitan man wearing heavy armor and holding a wolf tooth list, said in a half-baked Chinese dialect: "The people in the city listen to the truth, and persuade you to open the city and surrender as soon as possible, otherwise the city will be slaughtered after the city is broken!"

"Dream!" Wang Xian Ling picked up a longbow and pointed an arrow at the person who shouted, the Khitan people waved their mace to knock down the feather arrows, and shouted "siege", the cavalry was divided left and right, revealing the soldiers carrying logs, and then those cavalry began to throw arrows, due to the difference in numbers between the two sides, the archers at the head of the city were suppressed, and those Khitan soldiers carrying logs took the opportunity to hit the gate.

The gate had already been heaped with earth and stones, and the impact had little effect, and there was more than one group of soldiers carrying logs, and the rest crashed into the most damaged parts of the wall.

Braving the rain of arrows, the city's soldiers threw ash bottles and stones downward, which had some effect, but had very limited lethality against the Khitans in leather armor.

The rammed earth walls already had many cracks and holes, and several times they were hit, and with this gap, those cavalry could rush into the city.

Tan Guohua's heart has already risen to his throat, if these Khitans break into the city, what will happen to his sister and mother? I am afraid that my own life will not be guaranteed.

Suddenly, a foul smell came, it was not that he urinated, but someone poured black grease on the collapsed city wall, and then a torch fell, and it began to burn violently, and the Khitan cavalry who rushed to the front had to restrain the reins of their horses, and a county official in the city quickly threw some firewood and grass into the fire, and then poured black oil, and in a blink of an eye, a wall of fire was formed at the collapsed place.

"It turned out to be oil!" Of course Tan Guohua knew this thing, and his nervousness couldn't help but relax slightly, if the amount of oil was large enough, and the Khitans did not have large-scale siege equipment, then Huangchi County would be saved.

Cui Cheng, who was holding his hand, sensed his change, "This thing is called Fierce Fire Oil, and there are only ten barrels in the city!"

"There are only ten barrels!" Tan Guohua was disappointed, ten barrels of fierce fire oil could not stop the footsteps of the Khitans no matter what, as long as the city was slaughtered at that time, the whole city would be finished!

At this time, he couldn't hide it, "Sir, is there a workshop for making firecrackers in the city?"

"There should be, what are you asking for this!"

"I have a way to break the Khitan cavalry, but I need a lot of gunpowder!"

"You can make Spitfire Meteors?"

Tan Guohua didn't know what the so-called Flying Fire Meteor was, "I want to make a large firecracker, this thing is thrown into the herd of horses and exploded, the war horse will inevitably be frightened and flee, the enemy army is chaotic, and naturally it can no longer attack the city!"

Cui Cheng thought for a while, and couldn't help but light up, "This method is very wonderful, I'll go to see Wang County's order, you can't move here!"

Another part of the city wall was knocked down, the Khitans fired a round of rapid fire, the arson sergeant was shot, a team of Khitan cavalry took the opportunity to rush into the gap, thanks to the barricades placed in the city, to avoid more Khitans pouring in, the fierce fire oil began to burn to cut off their back road, the county officials and the township Yong rushed forward to work together to kill more than a dozen Khitan soldiers who rushed into the city, but they also had more than 20 casualties.

The county town has been stormed for half an hour, it can be said that it is full of dangers, ten barrels of fierce fire oil are about to be consumed, seeing that the city is not guaranteed, and it is at a critical juncture, Cui Cheng came back with people, "Guohua, do you think this thing is feasible?"

Tan Guohua took the bamboo pole with the thickness of the child's arm, which was several times larger than an ordinary firecracker, "It should be about the same, but the lead is too long!"

After speaking, he cut off a large section of the lead, and then asked for a fire fold that can quickly ignite, and after igniting, he threw it above a team of Khitan soldiers who hit the city wall, and the super firecrackers had exploded before they had completely fallen, in his opinion, the power was not great, but those Khitan soldiers were holding their heads and running around.

Cui Cheng couldn't help but be overjoyed, and before he could say hello, Wang Xianling had already run over, "Haha, good thing, if you can keep Huangchi City, Mr. Cui and this little brother will be a great achievement;

Captain Sun, pass my order, wait for the Khitans to attack, and throw this together... Shocking thunder, right... It's called Heaven-Shaking Thunder, and in addition, order the workshop to make this thing in large quantities!"

"Obey!"

The sudden appearance of unknown explosives startled the Khitan generals, and after checking the wounds of those sergeants, they breathed a sigh of relief, they only had some bamboo sticks inserted in their bodies, only minor injuries, and not enough to pose a substantial threat to them, with his eyes, he could see that the small Huangchi City had reached the end of the crossbow, as long as he attacked for a while, he would definitely be able to break the city!

The fire oil ran out, and the city wall collapsed again, and under the continuous impact, the city wall was knocked open a gap of one zhang wide, and the ordinary fire wall could not stop the trampling of iron hooves, and the barricades were destroyed by heavy weapons such as horse lances and maces, and the people in the city flocked to another city gate, but unfortunately, the city gate was also blocked by earth and stones, and a disaster was about to come.

"Boom boom boom~" huge firecrackers exploded on the heads of the cavalry who swarmed to the city, most of the Khitan soldiers were dressed in leather armor, and they were not afraid of this kind of firecrackers that could only cause them minor injuries at most, but the violent explosion startled the war horses.

War horses are usually more docile, once frightened but not much different from other beasts, when they encounter obstacles, they will rampage, and even bite and kick, and the relatively narrow area under the city is enough to gather thousands of war horses, the cavalry can not control the madness of the war horses with the strength of milk, and the city is still constantly shooting arrows downward, throwing bottles full of lime, and stones and other things, so the fun is great, in the trampling on each other, under the collision with each other, those cavalry suffered heavy casualties.

If this is just the case, it is still not enough for the Khitans to retreat, they have a cavalry as a sentry to send news, a Great Zhou cavalry quickly approached, the number is only hundreds, but the Khitan cavalry commander knows very well that this cavalry does not need to collide with them head-on, as long as the delay from time to time, his 2,000 cavalry may be buried in the territory of the Great Zhou.

Realizing this, he could only give up the fat that was about to reach his mouth and lead his team to retreat.

Seeing this, Wang Xian Ling guessed that reinforcements were coming, but his men were all foot soldiers and could not pursue.

About a tea time, a cavalry arrived, led by Zhao Kuangyin, the deputy commander of Huazhou.

Tan Guohua was not qualified to approach, and when he heard that the stout red-faced man was Zhao Kuangyin, he couldn't help but look at it from afar, he looked too rough, and he didn't see anything like the Ninety-Five Supreme, so he could only say that he was very powerful.

The cavalry did not enter the city, Wang Xian ordered to go out of the city and said something to the other party, and the cavalry pursued in the direction where the Khitans left, and thus, Tan Guohua and a great man of history he knew passed by.

Treating the wounded and burying the corpses, the aftermath of Huangchi City was handled by someone else, and he returned home with Cui Cheng.

Chen's mother and Chen Erya were worried, and Cui's mansion was not far from the city gate, the moment the Khitan cavalry rushed in, the apprehension in their hearts could be imagined, if it weren't for the housekeeper Cui Sizhao, they would have been without a master.

The family reunited, Tan Guohua's soft comfort made the mother and daughter feel at ease, Cui Cheng on the side secretly surprised, a young man less than ten years old, it is very rare to see the two armies fighting without wetting his pants, and what is even more peculiar is that in that environment can also produce the whimsy of making "earth-shaking thunder", and now it seems that he is already the pillar of the family at a young age, with good conduct and extreme intelligence, such a genius young man will be able to inherit his mantle, if he gives up, will he not regret it in the future?

Of course, Tan Guohua didn't know Cui Cheng's thoughts, although he had an adult heart, but his body was still a teenager, he didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and he was frightened, and he was already sleepy......
