Chapter 684 Adding fuel to the fire

.,Zhaozhou

A gunpowder barrel can only be said to be painless and unthick, but if this gunpowder barrel explodes in the crowd, it will not only cause a large number of casualties in the Qingzhou army, but also cause the Qingzhou army formation to be immediately in chaos.

Lin Zhao knew this, and Zhao Fuping, as the chief general of the Qingzhou Army, naturally knew this.

Moreover, he was the commander in front of the battle, and he saw the opportunity faster. When he saw these people jumping off the city wall, Zhao Fuping realized something was wrong. He immediately organized his own personal guard camp and then commanded the two lieutenant camps to rush towards these rebel "successful squads".

In any case, stop these rebels!

Zhao Fuping was born in the Shuofang Army. When he was in the Shuofang Army in his early years, he often rushed to the battlefield. Although he was not considered an unparalleled general, he could still be considered a brave general. He shouted and took the lead in holding a spear and rushed towards these rebels!

This time the interception is very difficult.

Because the Qingzhou army not only had to face these rebels under the city, but also had to face the arrows, tinder oil and other defending equipment of the defenders on the city wall!

Originally, the Qingzhou Army's shield formation could well defend against attacks from the city wall, but when these dead soldiers rushed, the shield formation immediately became messy, and dozens of people fell to the ground by a volley of rebels on the city wall!

At this time, Zhao Fuping had already arrived at the front battlefield. He glared and shot through a rebel who was rushing over, then turned around and shouted: "The firearm battalion dispersed, the Pioneer Battalion came over and stopped these rebels outside the shield formation!"

After saying that, the Qingzhou general rushed out of the shield formation and fought with the thieves with his own guard camp. For a moment, flesh and blood flew across the battlefield, and the battle situation was extremely fierce!

On the high slope, Wang Fu, who was standing beside Lin Zhao, was also paying attention to the battlefield. He first looked at Mr. Lin who was staring around him, then looked at the battlefield and whispered: "Fortunately, this general under Mr. Gong was quick to see the opportunity. Otherwise, if not to attack Tongguan today, it would be hard to say whether the master's firearm battalion could be preserved."

Seeing that Lin Zhao didn't say anything, Wang Fu continued, "Where did these generals under the Duke's command come from? First, Pei Jian and Qi Sheng, but now Qi Sheng is injured. This general named Zhao is so powerful."

At this time, Lin Zhao finally took his eyes back from the battlefield. He glanced back at Wang Fu and slowly breathed out: "There have always been many soldiers in the Youyan land, so it is not surprising that there are several generals. Even General Qi from Shuofang is also from Qingzhou?"

At this time, Lin Zhao naturally could not tell Wang Fu that the two generals of the Qingzhou Army were from Shuofang Army. Even if Wang Fu could find it, he could not tell him clearly, otherwise the Hedong Jiedushi would feel that Shuofang and Pinglu had already formed an alliance.

While the two Jiedushi were chatting, the situation on the battlefield was still dangerous.

This time, most of the suicide squads sent by the rebels were strong men, and everyone was wearing iron armor. Not to mention anything else, they had a strong survivability on the battlefield. After being blocked by Zhao Fuping's guards, some of them gritted their teeth and stopped fighting. They rushed towards the wheelbarrows containing powder kegs in the center of the shield formation!

Most of them have prepared fire notes. Even if there is no fire, there are torches specially designed for ignition in the Firearms Camp. As long as they are washed over, they can definitely ignite these powder barrels.

Zhao Fuping held a spear and stabbed the second rebel to death, then took a deep breath.

"Stop them!"

"Stop them at all costs!"

So, the most cruel scene on the battlefield happened.

Some shield guards in the shield formation, because they did not have any suitable weapons, after receiving Zhao Fuping's order, simply gritted their teeth and threw the shield aside, reached out and hugged the rebels' legs, or hugged them on their waists, preventing them from getting close to the firearm camp.

With the addition of these shield guards, the scene was gradually controlled. Although some considerable price was paid, these suicide squads were gradually cleaned up.

Zhao Fuping, who was in command of the battle, also breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately began to issue an order, and the Qingzhou Army's shield formation continued to advance towards Tongguan.

Mr. Lin, who was watching the game, breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the shed, lowered his head and took a sip of the warm wine that Wang Fu cooked.

Wang Fu stood beside Lin Zhao with his hands behind his back and whispered: "It seems that the Duke's firearm is no longer mysterious. These rebels have some solutions to deal with it."

Lin Zhao put down his wine glass and his voice was deep: "It was impossible to hide it for too long. This time I thought of the enemy too stupid. I should have thought of it long ago that they would have such a countermeasure sooner or later, and they should have prepared it in advance."

After drinking a glass of wine, Lin Zhao's nervous mood soothed a lot. He looked up at Wang Fu and said, "These rebels can only get ladders down from the city wall, which means that most of the city gates have been blocked by them. Even the powder barrels are difficult to explode. Tongguan..."

"I'm afraid it's hard to fight one day today."

Lin Zhao's words are reminding Wang Fu that the Hedong Army will continue to attack the city tomorrow.

"If you can't fight today, then tomorrow."

Wang Fu seemed quite generous at this time. He smiled at Lin Zhao and said, "There are not many defenders in Tongguan, so we will fight in turn. Sooner or later, these defenders will not be able to bear it. Even if they are hard-working, they can grind Tongguan down in ten days and half a month."

"Ten days and half a month..."

Lin Zhao was silent.

If Tongguan really needs to fight for ten days and half a month, it means that the Shuofang Army will have to face the main force of Fan Yang Army for at least half a month or even a month. If this is the case, the Shuofang Army may be disabled even if it is not dead...

While Lin Zhao was considering Shuofang Army, General Wang suddenly exclaimed.

"broken!"

Lin Zhao was shocked and quickly stood up and looked at the battlefield. At this time, the Qingzhou Army's firearms battalion had advanced under the Tongguan city gate and began to excavate. Two gunpowder barrels were piled at the gate of the city gate.

At this time, the defenders on the city wall, carrying wooden barrels, began to pour water at the city gate!

Wang Fu's "Broken" sounded, and he saw this scene.

"It's tung oil!"

Wang Fu took a deep breath, his face a little unfavorable.

"As soon as they pour tung oil, they can detonate the gunpowder..."

And Lin Zhao had already thought of this.

At this time, only two gunpowder barrels were placed under the gate of Tongguan. With the power of these two gunpowder barrels, it was impossible to blow up the city gate. At this time, the shield formation and firearm battalion of the Qingzhou army were surrounded near the city gate. Once these two gunpowder barrels were detonated by the rebels...

The consequences are unimaginable!

The moment Zhao Fuping smelled the tung oil, he realized something was wrong. He almost immediately ordered the shield array and the firearm battalion.

"Scatter, spread!"

"Spread out immediately and leave the city gate!"

The formation of the shield formation was immediately in chaos, and the Qingzhou Army's firearms battalion also fled from the city gate of Tongguan as fast as possible.

At this time, a black-armored general in Tongguan had thrown the torch lit in his hand near the city gate.

When the torch touches the tung oil, it spreads rapidly immediately!

The situation where two powder kegs were detonated is inevitable.

Lin Zhao's face looked ugly.

General Wang's face was also not very good-looking. He turned his head to look at Lin Zhao and lowered his voice.

"Master, it seems that there are people in your firearm camp who are not honest..."
