Chapter 617
The deputy general was stunned by his words, but he quickly reacted and asked anxiously, "General, what should we do now?"
"What else can we do? Of course we open the city to meet the enemy!!!" The general roared angrily with veins popping out.
The deputy general turned pale with fright, and frowned as he reminded, "But the king issued a military order not to open the city to meet the enemy. We are required to focus on defense and attack as a supplement."
Hearing this, the general was so angry that he slapped his head on the head, and growled through gritted teeth, "If we don't leave the city to meet the enemy, the enemy will invade our Rongming City, and it will be too late to save it! Hurry up and assemble your troops,
Go out of the city to meet the enemy!"
The deputy general seemed to be awakened by his slap, and then he realized the seriousness of the matter. He nodded quickly in horror, turned around and ordered the soldiers to open the city gate, and led the army to rush out.
At this time, the Burning Blood Army poured out of Rongming City in dense numbers, each holding sharp spears, broadswords, and even hammers and double axes in their hands. Just by looking at it, you could tell that they were powerful. With one hammer blow,
I'm afraid it can beat people into pulp.
When General Duan and Yin Lanfeng saw this scene, their hearts sank and their expressions became solemn.
They knew very well that the armor called chain mail was relatively effective against weapons such as bows and arrows. If it encountered a hammer or a broadsword, it would probably be shattered in a few blows, leaving it with almost no defensive effect.
What's more, the enemy is holding top-notch weapons, coupled with spiritual power attacks, that kind of power can be imagined, which is absolutely annoying.
Sure enough, before Yin Lanfeng and others could react, they saw that the soldiers charging ahead were retreating steadily, and many figures fell one after another.
But in the blink of an eye, corpses were everywhere in front of him, blood flowed into rivers, and the speed was astonishing.
Seeing this scene, Lieutenant General Liang flushed with anxiety and shouted, "General, the enemy's fighting power is too strong, even our armor can't resist it!"
When Yin Lanfeng and General Duan heard this, their faces were horribly gloomy, and their eyes looking at the fight ahead were bloodshot with anxiety and anger.
The enemy's weapons are very strong and their spiritual power is not weak. Although the Yunlou Army has a large number of people, they will not get much benefit if they fight hard. In addition, the terrain of Rongming City is dangerous. If they make a slight mistake, tonight's tactics will be ruined.
It will completely fail, and it will be even more difficult to capture Rongming City in the future.
Therefore, in tonight's battle, we can only succeed and cannot fail.
Thinking of this, General Duan clenched his fists anxiously, turned to look at Su Moliang, gritted his teeth and asked loudly, "Su Mu, didn't you say before that you had a way to defeat the enemy? What's your method?"
Su Moliang on the side watched the fighting in front of him with cold eyes from beginning to end. He did not change his expression when faced with General Duan's questioning, which made General Duan extremely anxious.
"Su Mu, please say something!" At this juncture, she was as steady as a rock, which was really irritating.
Su Moliang just raised her eyebrows slightly. After seeing the Yunlou Army leading most of the enemy troops out of the city gate, she turned her head and glanced at the brothers of the Blood Fighting Group, "Prepare the slings!"
The brothers of the Blood Regiment received the order and put the explosive packs they had prepared on the slings with understanding.
When General Duan saw this scene, his eyes almost popped out, and he yelled angrily, "Su Mu, what are you doing! How can you put a paper bag on the catapult! This is a battlefield, how can you allow you to mess around!"
He had seen Su Moliang tinkering with those paper bags before, grinding some strange things into powder, mixing them together, and putting them in the paper bags.
At the beginning, he didn't know what Su Mu was going to do, but now that he saw her putting these paper packages on the catapult, his lungs almost exploded with anger.
Use paper bags instead of boulders. It turns out that this is what she said!
God, in all his years of marching and fighting, he has never encountered such a nonsense person.
Originally, using a catapult to attack with boulders might not be able to capture Rongming City. Unexpectedly, she even used a paper bag to attack in an exaggerated manner.
It's just too much child's play!
Nonsense, really nonsense!
He should not have pinned his hopes on Su Mu a long time ago. He actually expected a new recruit to figure out a way to defeat the Burning Blood Army. He was so naive.
"Su Mu, stop it, General!" Faced with Su Moliang's insistence on going his own way, General Duan couldn't bear it anymore. He gritted his teeth and yelled, so angry that his whole body was about to explode.
However, Su Moliang didn't pay attention to his anger at all. His pupils were slightly condensed, and he suddenly raised his hand and loudly ordered, "Light it up and launch it!"
The brothers of the Blood Regiment were ordered to light the fuse on the explosive package with a torch, and then directed the soldiers to pull the wrench, and immediately threw the paper package into the enemy circle.
At this moment, there was only a loud bang, and a fiery wave rushed out from the front. The billowing smoke rose into the sky like an overwhelming sandstorm, instantly covering the enemy.
The scarlet flame was like a light that cut through the sky, piercing the dark night and making it so bright that people couldn't even open their eyes.
At this time, Su Moliang didn't give the enemy any time to react. He waved his sleeves again and shouted again, "Launch!"
Immediately afterwards, several catapults shot out several paper packets one after another, and an earth-shattering sound was heard exploding in the crowd of enemy soldiers.
The scarlet fireball, mixed with billowing black smoke, spread instantly. Within a moment, the enemy soldiers were choked by the thick smoke, bleeding from their orifices, and died suddenly.
When General Duan saw this scene, his scolding voice suddenly choked in his throat and he could no longer speak.
The soldiers of the Yunlou Army also looked at the dead enemy soldiers in front of them with shocked faces, and could not recover for a long time.
They really didn't expect that the enemy soldiers would fall down before they even took action. This was incredible.
In fact, only Su Moliang himself knew that the power of black gunpowder was not as powerful as modern gunpowder. Black gunpowder could only create momentum and frighten the enemy.
casualties, so it is still very difficult to kill the enemy without leaving any trace behind.
Therefore, Su Moliang brought poisons such as croton and arsenic.
She mixed these poisons with charcoal, saltpeter and sulfur to make poison gas bombs. Even if they couldn't kill them, they could still poison them. Moreover, the poison gas was in a wide area. As long as it exploded, anyone who smelled it would be dead.
It saves time and effort and can be foolproof, causing heavy losses to the enemy.
She believed that no matter how high the terrain or how strong the defenses were, they could not withstand the poisonous gas that filled the sky. No matter how powerful the Burning Blood Army was, they would have to retreat with their tail between their legs.
Sure enough, her guess was spot on!
"The smoke is poisonous, this smoke is poisonous, retreat quickly!" The enemy general saw that many soldiers were poisoned and died, and then he realized and shouted orders in panic.
After hearing this, the soldiers all retreated, trying to return to Rongming City.
