Chapter 337

"Your Majesty, wait a minute!" When he got off the city wall, Ren Bayi slipped to the city order house, rubbed his long gun, went out of the city order house with another box, and asked the guard to help him take it back near the city wall.

The female emperor and Li Qianqiu waited again under the escort of a team of flying horses. Seeing the escort carrying the box behind Ren 8000, they guessed in their hearts what was in the box.

Ren 8000 asked the guard to open the box and expose the rows of black round tubes placed inside.

Not big, but one palm is long and about an inch in diameter.

"Governor Ren, what is this?" Li Qianqiu picked up one and fiddled with it in his hand. He asked curiously.

"Explosives!" Ren 8000 hehe smiled.

This batch of explosives was obtained at the place where he bought guns on earth. It is divided into two layers: the middle is 300g TNT explosive, and the outside is gunpowder. It is ignited with fire and detonated TNT when the gunpowder explodes.

Originally, it was intended to be used for mining. A full 300 were prepared, and this box is half of them. As a result, it didn't work at all. I brought it when I came out of Lan City this time. It can be used at this time.

"Explosives?" Li Qianqiu has some doubts.

The female emperor knows a little about what explosives are, but she doesn't know how to use them.

"You'll know in a minute." When Ren 8000 finished, they went up the wall again.

Ren Baqian squatted there, tied the explosives to several long arrows, cut off the lead behind the explosives, and then looked up to Li Qianqiu and said, "Lord Li, I'll bother you to find someone to shoot this under the other party's catapult later.

"I'll come!" Li Qianqiu did not yield.

In fact, the distance of 200 meters is almost the same for these ancient soldiers who grew up hunting in the mountains.

But he also wanted to see what Ren 8000 made.

Ren 8000 prepared a total of 22 stone catapults, and the enemy only had 20 stone catapults around Liaocheng.

When he was ready, Ren 8000 handed the bow and arrow to Li Qianqiu. Before he could speak, the bone arrow turned into a white line and plunged into a stone catapult with a sharp sound.

Ren 8000:

Li Qianqiu looked forward and asked after more than ten seconds, "why didn't you respond?"

"It hasn't been ignited yet..." Ren 8000 said silently.

"Forget, forget!" Li Qianqiu laughed. After laughing, he picked up a bone arrow and put it on the bow again.

Ren 8000 asked someone to take the lit wooden strip and ignite the lead. He hurriedly said, "OK, put it!"

The lead is still ten centimeters long. It should be OK to hold it for more than ten seconds, but he is afraid that there is something wrong with the lead. If it is a fast shooter, it will be bad luck at that time.

As his words fell, Li Qianqiu's fingers loosened, and the bone arrow again crossed the distance of 200 meters with a sharp sound of breaking the air and nailed it directly to the catapult.

Then Li Qianqiu cast an exploratory look at Ren 8000.

"Wait!" Ren 8000 looked in that direction with a telescope. At this time, he couldn't see whether the lead was still burning.

However, before long, there was a loud "bang" in the Daxia army. With the sudden fire out of thin air, the catapult turned into fragments and flew everywhere in an instant, hitting the iron shield in front of the army array and making a collision sound.

Several soldiers who were loading ammunition around the catapult were directly lifted away by the blast. Two of them were close, and only some broken bodies fell everywhere.

"Boom!" When the Daxia army was startled by the sudden change, the Daxia army exploded again. This time, the unlit explosive tube was blown into the Daxia army array and exploded again. At least more than ten meters around the soldiers were blown away by the explosion, and the soldiers within a radius of five meters were directly blown up.

"Good thing!" Seeing this scene on the wall, Li Qianqiu was overjoyed and exclaimed.

"This box can save some time. It's specially used to deal with their siege equipment. Without siege equipment, they must be unable to do anything except siege.

The food they need to consume here is not a fraction. " Ren 8000 told him that he was terrible and Li Qianqiu squandered at will.

"With this thing, how many people they come this time, let them only watch below." Li Qianqiu laughed and patted Ren 8000 on the shoulder.

Then he asked several guards to take these bone arrows and do it according to the method just now.

After seeing the explosion in the Daxia army array, these guards were careful. As soon as they lit the fire, they immediately shot out the bone arrows for fear of exploding in their own hands.

Every minute or two, you can see a fire burst out in front of the Daxia army array and the roaring explosion.

But for a moment, the six stone throwing machines in the east of Lan City turned into a pile of broken wood. Then there were several explosions in the north of the city, and then in the east of the city.

But in a moment, the catapults of the Daxia army were all turned into broken wood, accompanied by hundreds of soldiers killed by explosives or injured by broken wood.

"Take good care of this thing to me. Take good care of it. If there is any problem, I'll ask you." Li Qianqiu shouted to the guard behind him.

"Don't worry."

"Don't see open fire, don't bump, and store it carefully. Keep it in a cool and damp place, and remember not to touch fire." Ren told thousands that people on earth knew the danger of this thing and could not see the fire, but Dayao always made him a little worried.

If these things explode, it is estimated that a quarter of Liaocheng will have to be scrapped.

"Don't worry, my Lord." The guard behind him arched his hand.

The catapult was blown up, and there must be no other attack today in the summer. Li Qianqiu continued to stay on the wall to inspect, and Ren 8000 returned to the city with the female emperor.

"Your Majesty is a little thin." On the way back, Ren 8000 opened his eyes and talked nonsense. The female emperor is not an ordinary person. Naturally, her body will not get fat and thin with eating more and less.

The female emperor was very useful and glanced at him gently.

The guards behind looked at the sky one by one and pretended not to hear anything.

……

In the north of Liaocheng, there is a big tent in the camp behind tens of thousands of troops. A general with a beard and hair of half a hundred is standing on the table, looking at the map above a few days ago and gesturing on it with his fingers from time to time.

"General!" A middle-aged scholar came in from outside the tent and arched his hands.

In the account is the general, champion general and Wu Sheng Hou Jinling who commanded the 700000 troops marching south this time.

His reputation among the people of Daxia is far less than that of Hongwu in Dayao, which is also because Daxia has not made an inch in the south for 70 years. In fact, it has a high reputation in the court and can be said to be the top three in the army.

In just a few decades, we can get a glimpse of the status of Wu shenghou from a civilian to a top general of the third grade.

Stationed at the border for more than 20 years, I have prepared for more than 20 years. Even in my dream, I think about how to attack Dayao. Now he can finally achieve his lifelong wish, and the war situation is in line with his expectations. Next, it depends on who is better on both sides.

"How is Lu Pinghai now?" Wu Sheng Hou asked without raising his head.

"General, Lu Pinghai's injury has recovered less than half. It must be all right in another month." The scribe arched his hand.

"There's still time." Wu Sheng Hou whispered.

"Li Yuanzhu sent a letter, but she still disagreed." The scribe said again.

"Expected." Wu shenghou was not surprised.

"Did Lu Zijian find it?"

"No news yet." The scribe continued. Lu Zijian, the second in the world, has always been unpredictable.

As for Lin Xian, the best in the world, there has been no trace for several years. Many people suspect that he is no longer alive, or has broken through the boundary in the legend.

"Do you think Qi Zixiao will leave Liaocheng?" Wu shenghou asked casually.

"No way! If she left Liao City, she would have left tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Liao City. Qi Zixiao would never do such a thing. Unless she was in the time of life and death and dragged her like this, she could not leave." The scribe said decisively.

Wu shenghou nodded, just as he thought.

When she wanted to go, I was afraid it was too late.

Wu shenghou moved his finger from one point to another on the map, and finally pressed his finger on one of the points, where his goal was.

It is not only the only way for LAN city and the northern capital guard, but also the only way for the Northeast capital guard to return aid.

As long as we occupy here, even if Qi Zixiao can escape back, he will lose a large area of fertile soil in the whole North

"Is there any news from the cloud country?"

"They are still arguing in the hall." The scribe answered softly.

"Did they forget that they were beaten by those barbarians and almost destroyed the country?" Wu shenghou sneered and despised. "Those guys full of merchant flavor..."

"Even without them, it is not impossible to win Dayao without the long preparation of the general." The scribe answered immediately. "The wall of Lan City is only six meters thick. These stone throwing machines can break Liao City."

You should know that the walls of tiesuoguan, Shuncheng and ziyue in the north are all 20 meters thick, of which tiesuoguan is even 30 meters thick. The wall of Lan City is only six meters thick. As long as the catapult hits a few more rounds, it can hit a gap.

"You can't break it!" Hou wusheng said faintly.

In such a place in the city, the strong personal strength of the ancient people can be brought into play. He would rather kill the ancient people near the city wall than let the soldiers enter the city to fight with the ancient people. I'm afraid those ancient civilians will cause no small casualties to them.

Not to mention flying horses in it.

However, if the city wall is really broken down, the developed mine artillery can come in handy.

Thinking of another kind of shell called Wanhua bullet in his hand, Wu shenghou felt that the Chaozhong should really reward those craftsmen.

While they were chatting here, they heard several loud sounds in the distance, which were different from the loud sound of boulders hitting the wall.

"Which bastard used a thunder cannon?" This explosion immediately reminded Wu shenghou of the Vulcan cannons and things called thunder fire powder stored in the army.

Later, Wu shenghou rejected the idea. He didn't order it. Who dares to use thunder artillery?

As soon as I came out of the tent, I heard another loud noise in the front direction.

"Boom!"

Wu Sheng Hou frowned. What's going on? It was clearly the sound of thunder artillery, but it was still so loud here, much louder.

Before he could figure it out, there were several loud noises ahead.

"Somebody, go and see what's going on." Hou wusheng said in a deep voice.

After a quarter of an hour, a general in iron armor came back and knelt on one knee and said, "general, I don't know how, a fireball suddenly burst out of thin air from the catapult, which was very powerful, and the catapult was completely destroyed."

Another quarter of an hour later, there was a quick report in the East and west directions, and the catapults in both directions were destroyed.

"What means did those barbarians use?" Wu shenghou's face was ugly. Unexpectedly, those barbarians still had this unknown means.
