(17) Wisdom

The performance of the small car began soon. In some small catapults designed by Xie Donghai, they threw not stones, but earth bombs lit by leads. Today, Bai Qi was going to use Duliangcheng as a test site for new weapons. Anyway, the manufacturing of gunpowder is the only one now, and there is no other semicolon, so Bai Qi is not afraid of others learning it.

The soldiers on the city wall saw things as big as watermelons thrown up, and they didn't take them seriously. They all dodged with a smile. Some simply used shields to hold their heads and sat directly under the battlements to rest.

Rumble! The explosions like thunder scared all the soldiers. What is this? When they saw soldiers being blown up and their heads were bleeding and missing their arms and legs, they realized that this inconspicuous thing was really terrifying.

Five hundred cars fired a salvo, and immediately blew the city wall into a pot of porridge. In order to increase the lethality of this kind of earth bomb, Jie Donghai also conducted special experiments, using impurities to make the best effect. It was stuffed with small triangle iron. After the explosion, the bomb immediately turned into countless small pieces and plunged into the human body. It was so cruel.

When Su Yuncheng heard the first explosion, he knew that something was going to be bad, so he found a place to hide. Fortunately, he had foresight and the guards were loyal to protect him in the middle. Su Yuncheng was fine, but the five thousand soldiers on the city wall were considered to be in trouble. After being bombed in a mess, he was killed and injured.

After finally waiting for the explosion to stop, Su Yuncheng found that a heat flowed down his forehead. He reached out and touched it, and it was covered in blood. When he looked up, he saw that the two guards beside him were already stung by splashed iron blocks. The most terrifying one had several holes on his face and hung up on the spot. Before he died, he knew that he was lying on the city wall to help Su Yuncheng block the flying iron block. The other one was not much better. A big hole was pierced in his stomach. He was lying on the side and moaning, his intestines flowed out, and he could not survive.

Look at the city walls, there are sounds of lying on the ground shouting for help everywhere. The soldiers who have no experience in dealing with bombs are so miserable that they are bombed. You can see the screams of broken hands and feet everywhere, and the injured soldiers lying on the ground, as if there is a hell on earth above the wall.

Su Yuncheng, who always thought he was strong, felt hot at this moment and his legs were already unable to stand firm.

Looking at the chaos on the city wall, Bai Qi felt distressed. It was not easy to create this earth bomb. A total of five thousand were sent, and there were only ten in a car. These prodigal sons actually smashed out two thousand in one breath. Bai Qi was so anxious that he quickly ordered the bombing to stop and asked Shi Wei to come over and speak.

Seeing that the battle was good, Shi Wei, the temporary leader of the convoy, ran to Bai Qi happily, and seemed to be coming to praise him. Bai Qi originally planned to scold him, but he had emphasized before the war that he would just test it today and throw a few bombs on it. But when he saw Shi Wei's face that had lost weight again, Bai Qi endured it and smiled and said, "I did a good job, the team was well-trained, but there were not many bombs, so I can save some use in the future."

After Bai Qi finished speaking, he raised his telescope and looked at the masterpiece of the earth bomb. Looking at the tragic situation on the city wall, Bai Qi couldn't help but sigh that advanced weapons still have a great effect on the battlefield, especially here, just like the British devils fighting the Qing army in their previous lives, which was definitely an asymmetric war. Unfortunately, the bomb output was too low, and the training of skilled workers had to be strengthened.

At the same time, Bai Qi sighed again that bombs still have shortcomings, and it is equivalent to decorations when it rains. Unfortunately, technology in this area is too backward these days, so it is not easy to get bombs. Don’t count on high-end products like cannons for the time being.

The catapult cart retreated, and then it was the other troops who showed their power. Fortunately, Bai Qi was not sure of defeating Du Liang. The attacking troops only covered the crossbows and arrows near the city wall. A series of crossbows gave more damage to the soldiers who were in shock on the city wall.

Bai Qi came to this, which seriously damaged the morale in Duliang City. On the contrary, Bai Qi's troops were even more vigorous. Seeing his chariot showing his power, all the soldiers under the city cheered and formed a sharp contrast with the silence on the city wall.

Bai Qi, who got the advantage, seemed even more arrogant, so he simply let the troops camp under the capital Liang City. Su Yuncheng was afraid of being bombed, so he dared not let the troops attack. He just kept asking the troops to strengthen their vigilance. He even asked everyone to think of some ways to summarize their experience in being bombed so that they could reduce their losses next time.

Three days passed quickly. Although Bai Qi did not attack again, the army under the city was more and more, more than 40,000 people were stationed. All the main forces of Yulong Pass were dispatched. In the eyes of outsiders, it was completely a sign of a general attack.

In Jiangzhou, Bai Yunfan hesitated. After a period of cultivation, Bai Yunfan's injuries recovered. As soon as he planned to march north, he received a report that Zhang Chu began to assemble troops on the border. The number of naval troops was as high as 30,000, which was almost half of Zhang Chu's naval army, not to mention that there were 50,000 infantry and cavalry. Bai Yunfan had to guard against it.

After consideration, Bai Yunfan decided to suspend the action and let Xu Yuyan, who came to contact him, go back first, tell Bai Qi about the situation here, and see what Bai Qi means to decide the next plan. As for Duliang, Bai Yunfan decided to send 20,000 troops to advance slowly and prepare for a full-scale attack first.

Bai Qi fought in the capital Liangcheng, and Qingtianzhou's upright establishment immediately knew it. In fact, it was difficult to not know. Bai Qi sent people everywhere to promote it. Under the powerful offensive of the Bai Qi army, Duliangcheng was in danger.

This time I became anxious. Although I didn't believe Bai Qi's propaganda in my heart, I thought that the Bai brothers had nearly 150,000 troops, and I could still beat him. If I didn't do it early, I would just wait to die in the future. I didn't dare to do it a few days ago because I was afraid that Bai Qi would take advantage of his own way. Now that Bai Qi's main force has been fully exerted, his worries have been gone, so it's time to do it.

The honest preparation was that Qingtian Prefecture, which had been operating for many years, had a total of 60,000 troops in one mobilization, leaving 20,000 to defend the family, and the main force went straight to the north to fight.

Li Shaoyuan, a military commander in Longbei, was a man with no ambitions, and only had thousands of people under his command. When the Qingtian army arrived, he could only shrink into the city to defend and send people to Bai Qi for help. However, Bai Qi seemed to have to fight with Su Yuncheng and Bai Yunshan in Duliang City. Not only did he ignore Li Shaoyuan's request for help, he launched several attacks on Duliang. These attacks really took place. Tens of thousands of soldiers rushed up with ladders and stood on the city wall several times. If Su Yuncheng had not used all the reserve teams to fight, perhaps Duliang City would be Bai Qi's.

Although Li Shaoyuan said he had no ambitions, he was not the one who could be the mermaid meat. Otherwise, he would not have taken this step. Bai Qi's reinforcements did not come, and Li Shaoyuan also made up his mind to fight against Gengzhicheng.

Although there were few soldiers in Longbei, Li Shaoyuan had a good official reputation and the people also supported him. In addition, Li Shaoyuan promoted that Gengzhicheng was a murderous demon and wanted to massacre the city when he entered the city. The people were easy to cheat, and Gengzhicheng had always been levied and levies, and had a bad reputation among the people. Therefore, the people in Longbei also made up their minds and supported Li Shaoyuan to repel Gengzhicheng.

After Li Shaoyuan fought so hard, Gengzhicheng was under much pressure. He fought for six days and failed to capture Longbei City. He found that Bai Qi was attacking Duliang. Gengzhicheng simply drew 15,000 more troops from the 20,000 troops guarding his family, and was determined to take down Longbei before Bai Qi defeated Duliang.

The so-called dark night and high winds, killing people and setting fires. The troops in Qingtian Prefecture left the city, and that night was a night when they could not see their fingers.

The soldiers guarding the city did not notice the danger at all. The only Bai Qi army that could pose a threat to Longbei is still celebrating the capital Liangcheng.

Of course, the Qingtian Guards would not relax their vigilance. They would not say that they would close their doors during the day, but they would patrol continuously at night.

It was almost midnight, and in some dark corners of Qingtian City, some black shadows began to move. A team of soldiers responsible for changing defenses on the city walls walked out of the military camp and just entered a dark alley. They were immediately knocked down by hundreds of people on both sides. Judging from the neat technique, there was no movement at all.

Soon another group of soldiers in Qingtian military uniform walked out of the alley and headed towards the city gate. A group of soldiers guarding the city gate had been impatient for a long time. Seeing that they were late, the leader started to curse.

"Niu Wu, you, always come here deliberately for a while later. It is probably just coming out of Xiao Taohong's crotch again." After saying this, the other soldiers laughed unceremoniously, but when the successor approached, the leader found something wrong, and said to the first person: "Who are you? Why aren't Niu Wu's class today?"

The man smiled and walked forward and said, "Brother, I am new here. Today is the class of Niu Wu." As he said that, he walked forward and approached the leader and said, "Do you want to know who I am?" After a smirk, "You go and ask the King of Hell." It seems that this place is the same as Bai Qi's previous life, and it belongs to the leader of the King of Hell.

Before the leader could react, a sharp dagger had already crossed his neck. Almost at the same time, all the soldiers who changed defense moved, and the unprepared soldiers instantly became ghosts under the knife.

"Open the door! Put the suspension bridge! Notify other brothers and set fire." The command is simple and effective.

A moment later, fire broke out everywhere in Qingtian City, and some people were shouting in the fire, "Bai Qi's army has entered the city! Everyone, run away!" At first, just a few people were shouting, but later it turned into countless people were shouting.
Chapter completed!
