Chapter 475 Retreat

After the wooden barrels were thrown onto the city wall by a stone caster, they exploded on the city wall with a rumbling sound. The soldiers on the city wall were shocked by the shocking sound, not to mention that people who were closer were directly blown to the point of blood and died or lost consciousness.

This Sun and Moon Sect uses a trencher to destroy something with such strong power.

The wooden barrel was specially made by Dongfang Ming. Gunpowder officially appeared in the Tang Dynasty. Dongfang Ming now doesn't care whether it fits in the historical development trajectory.

He just equipped each army of the Divine Cult with about thirty such wooden barrels, filled with gravel and gunpowder.

In order to prevent this killer from being made by people with ill-hearted or disloyalty, Dongfang Ming secretly prepared gunpowder and then asked his subordinates to make these gunpowder barrels. He did not say that he had a strong lethality like TNT.

It was just a bit shoddy. Anyway, it was just a bombing of the city wall. Under the current conditions, it was enough to use it.

You said he wanted to exchange modern explosives from the system. Dongfang Mingke couldn't bear to leave his Tang Dian. He didn't know how much explosives would be consumed in a battle. It would be better to exchange a production method from the system and do it manually.

Liu Heita picked up his glasses and observed the chaotic guards of Huai'an City, and nodded with satisfaction.

The thing the leader took is easy to use. Not to mention the look glasses, the shock bucket used by the catapult today was very useful.

After the five catapults projected three rounds, Liu Heita instructed his subordinates to throw towards the gate of Huai'an City.

"General! They threw the strange black bucket onto the city gate, and the city gate was no longer able to defend it!"

A soldier ran to the general in sweat.

"Clog the city gate for me!"

"But!"

“But what?

!Go away!”

The general kicked the soldier, who took a few deep breaths before rolling and crawling away.

Liu Heita looked at the situation and pulled out the sword from his waist: "Siege the city!"

"Shield Barracks Array!"

"Arrowmen array!"

"Prepare for the siege car!"

"Prepare the ladder!"

...

In Huai'an City, a soldier rushed into the crowded convention hall. His intrusion made the convention hall that was discussing fiercely how to make the convention hall against the enemy quiet.

"King! The Sun and Moon Sect's offensive is extremely fierce, I'm afraid we're..." The general was covered in blood and in a mess. He stumbled into the conference hall and knelt on the ground with a plop.

Before he finished speaking, he fell to the ground.

A subordinate walked over to explore his breath, and shook his head at the King of Langya who was sitting above.

Li Zitong suddenly stood up from his seat, and his advisers were in a blast.

"King! Please leave Huaian City immediately!"

"Yes! Huai'an City is in danger, king!"

Li Zitong's eyes widened: "What the hell is going on! Reinforcements from Shezhou (now Yancheng)!"

When Liu Heita was about to attack Huai'an, Li Zitong sent someone to contact the King of Shezhou not far from Huai'an. King of Shezhou Wei Che agreed to come back to support him at that time.

As a result, Huaian is now in a state of crisis. Their soldiers in Shezhou have not arrived yet!

"Report!"

A soldier ran over.

"Speak quickly!"

Li Zitong picked up the porcelain cup on the table and threw it on the ground.

The soldier took a breath: "The news came from the reinforcements in Shezhou. They were ambushed and intercepted by the Jinjin army a hundred miles away from Huai'an..."

The King of Langya's eyes were bloodshot: "So they can't catch up, right?

!”

The soldier nodded.

"Master!"

The strategist shouted.

"Watch is afraid he is intentionally delaying!"

"He only occupied three cities, and delaying is useless."

The strategists also started to argue.

Li Zitong closed her eyes: "Retreat!"

...

The night after Huai'an City was captured, Dongfang Ming received news from Liu Heita.

After putting down the documents from the front line, Dongfang Ming walked to the sand table. He rubbed his hands, took out a small red flag from the small box next to it and inserted it on the sand table.

Looking at the small red flags connected together, Dongfang Ming was so satisfied.

"Isn't Shezhou in Huai'an City within reach?"

Dou Jiande came over with a cup of hot tea.

Today he came here to have nothing to do and just take advantage of the good tea from Dongfang Ming.

Although the Sun and Moon God Sect is not as magnificent as the imperial capital or the royal palaces in various places, there are many good things. For example, the tea he is in his hand now, I don’t know where Dongfang Ming got it. Anyway, Dou Jiande is a well-informed person, so he has never tasted this tea.

In fact, it is the Shimen Yinfeng Tea that Dongfang Ming exchanged from the system. This tea appeared in modern China. Naturally, there is no such thing as the era they are in. Dongfang Ming exchanged this thing and thought it was quite good to occasionally take it out to entertain guests or give it to others.

Dongfang Ming pressed down the corner of his mouth that was constantly rising, turned his head to face Dou Jiande: "Yancheng is occupied by Wei Che."

He spread his hands: "But there is no hurry to attack such a small place. It is important to defeat the coalition forces of Langya King now."

Dou Jiande put the teacup back on the small table aside and walked over to carefully observe the huge sand table that he would be amazed no matter how many times he looked at it.

Not to mention that this sand table uses different colors to distinguish different terrain, the details even have undulating terrain.

"This thing is a masterpiece!"

Dou Jiande sighed.

Dongfang Ming raised his eyebrows: "This thing is not difficult to make."

Dou Jiande became interested in it immediately: "I hope to hear it carefully."

Dongfang Ming did not reply to him directly, but turned back to his seat and brewed a cup of tea for Dou Jiande: "You will know in the future, you can learn too. After repelling the coalition forces, I will reorganize the structure of the teaching."

Dongfang Ming was unwilling to say it directly, and Dou Jiande was not angry: "Then Dou will wait and see."

He was still very confident in Dongfang Ming, and this time the Eighth Route Alliance attacked the Sun and Moon Sect.

The Sun and Moon Divine Sect not only did not retreat under the powerful offensive of the coalition forces, but also fought back and forth, and now it has captured the important city of Huai'an.

"Huai'an has been captured. Master, are you planning to let Heita attack Shezhou?"

Dongfang Ming picked up the tea and took a sip: "Shezhou is not in a hurry."

Wei Che occupied Shezhou and had three counties under his jurisdiction. The local area said it was big or not.

Shezhou was previously called Sheyang County, but later it was changed to Yancheng County. Wei Che occupied this place and changed to Shezhou, which was also divided into Sheyang, Xin'an and Anle counties.

Yancheng is surrounded by salt fields, which are important sea salt production areas.

Dou Jiande frowned: "Shezhou produces salt, and it is also a good thing if it can be conquered."

Dongfang Ming shook his head meaningfully: "It's not time."

How could Dongfangming make it stand out in such a large salt mine? It is inevitable to defeat it.

He mainly checked whether the system would issue a task to ask him to surrender Weicher. If he didn't send a task, he could send someone to see if Weicher was willing to surrender.

Of course, if Wei Che didn't want to, Dongfang Ming wouldn't mind letting him taste the iron fist of the Sun and Moon Sect.
