Cao Ren turned around and entered the city. The city gate was closed. At this time, all the Wei troops on the city tower were in full formation. Archers and crossbowmen stood in the wind and snow, looking at the bottom of the city wall. If anything happened, they would immediately open their bows and shoot arrows.
Guo Jia, Xu Huang and others were all surprised. They didn't expect that if they came to attack tonight, they would be planned by Cao Ren.
"It was a mistake, it was a mistake..." Guo Jia beat his chest angrily when he saw that the two hundred sergeants were gone like this.
"You don't have to be like this, Lord Taiwei. Cao Ren is not dishonest. I will definitely avenge the dead soldiers. Since we can't make a sneak attack, we can only attack by force." Xu Huang's eyes were also full of anger. Although Huayin's wall was tall,
, but no matter what, they can't resist their strong attack this time. With so many explosives, the entire Huayin must be razed to the ground today!
Guo Jia saw Xu Huang's anger. These soldiers were brought out by Xu Huang. He and Xu Huang got along day and night. He sympathized with Xu Huang and watched them die in battle. Naturally, he felt uncomfortable.
"General Xu, if we attack by force, will there be too many casualties?" Guo Jia said worriedly.
"If we don't attack by force, how can we capture this great pass? Sir Taiwei, I will give you full command here. Someone, please send Mr. Taiwei to rest in the back!" Xu Huang's face showed a hint of ferocity. It seemed that
I made up my mind to fight with Cao Ren.
Guo Jia stopped talking. He could deeply understand Xu Huang's mood. During this expedition, 30,000 troops came. If he retreated because his strategy did not work, it would be a waste of time.
.When he saw two soldiers coming over, he said to Xu Huang: "Could it be that General Xu looks down on me?"
"Why did Lord Taiwei say this?"
"Then why does General Xu want me to go to the rear? If I stay here, am I hindering General Xu?"
"Sir Taiwei, I'm worried about your safety. Once a war breaks out, arrows don't have eyes. I'm afraid..."
Before Xu Huang could finish his words, Guo Jia pulled out the sword from his waist, stuck it on the ground, and said angrily: "Although I am not a general, and my strength cannot be compared with the soldiers, but this
What remains in my body is boiling hot blood! I, a man from China, am not afraid of life and death. If I had only cared about my own life and death, I would not have worked as an undercover agent next to Lu Bu! I am not even afraid of Lu Bu, why is Cao Renhe?
Are you afraid?"
Guo Jia's impassioned speech really impressed Xu Huang. Although Guo Jia looked thin, he was a man of iron bones. At the same time, these remarks also heated up the soldiers around Xu Huang.
The soldiers all cheered up. They saw that Guo Jia, as a Taiwei, a scribe, was still unwilling to retreat from the front line. He still wanted to stand here and take risks. So how could the soldiers of the Kwantung Army retreat so easily!
Seeing the vitality, Xu Huang stopped asking people to send Guo Jia to the rear army. He turned to the soldiers and shouted: "Call General Zhou, General Liao, and General Gao over here."
The soldier said "promise" and went to deliver the order to Zhou Cang, Liao Hua and Gao Sen.
After a while, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, and Gao Sen all arrived and came to Xu Huang and Guo Jia. They first paid homage to Guo Jia, and then saluted Xu Huang.
After the ceremony, Xu Huang said immediately: "You have also seen the scene just now. I decided to attack Huayin Pass and raze Huayin to the ground. This will let Cao Ren know how powerful our army is, and at the same time give the Wei army a disincentive."
Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, and Gao Sen said in unison: "We all obey the general's orders!"
"Okay! This place is six hundred steps away from Huayin City. The farthest range of the Wei army's bows and arrows is only two hundred steps. But just in case, our army only advances three hundred and fifty steps, and then moves forward with shield soldiers.
Charge, each person carries an explosive bag, and everyone gathers under the city wall. They put the explosive bags together and come back. On the way back, they sprinkle gunpowder and finally light it. I don’t believe that no matter how strong the city wall of Huayin is, it can be strong.
Living like a dynamite." Xu Huang said angrily.
"I'll understand later!"
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, and Gao Sen returned to their respective departments. Zhou Cang, as the vanguard general, was the first to bear the brunt. He personally selected 500 shield soldiers, each carrying a pack of explosives, and lined up in a row to move forward first and clear the snow along the way.
, sweeping all the thick snow to both sides of the road.
In Huayin City, Cao Ren was still waiting by the city gate. He was very curious about the explosive bag he had just seized. He chopped open an explosive bag with his sword, revealing black powder all over the ground, mixed with a pungent smell.
smell.
Cao Ren covered his nose and asked, "What is this? What does the Chinese army do with these things?"
The surrounding soldiers were also puzzled. They had never seen these things before, let alone knew what they were used for. They all looked at each other in confusion as they looked at the neatly wrapped small package.
Cao Ren turned his head and asked, "Are there any survivors?"
As soon as the voice fell, two soldiers dragged a half-dead Chinese soldier to Cao Ren and said, "General Qi, this is the only one left, but he can't survive."
The man lying on the ground had his arm cut off, and blood flowed all over the floor, staining the doorway of the city gate red. From the time he was dragged over to Cao Ren, a long blood trail was left along the way.
Cao Ren kicked the soldier with his foot and asked: "Tell me, what are you going to use these black things for? As long as you tell me, I will have people treat your injuries. I can protect you from death and give you extra strength."
Being promoted to an official position will allow you to enjoy endless glory and wealth in the Wei State. Isn't that what you are doing as a soldier?"
The soldier smiled sarcastically, pointed to the explosive packets piled up in one place, and said: "These... are the tools we use for lighting. It is too dark at night to recognize them. As long as they are ignited with a torch, they will make a chirp."
There is a chirping sound, and then the surrounding area will be illuminated instantly...cough cough cough...if you don't believe it, try it..."
Cao Ren said doubtfully: "The Chinese army still has such good things? You are not lying, are you?"
"I'm going to die, why are you lying to me? Besides, I don't want to die either..." As the soldier said, he started coughing non-stop and spit out some blood.
Cao Ren turned to the soldiers and shouted: "Bring a torch and light one to try!"
A soldier holding a torch came over from the Wei army. When he came to Cao Ren, he said, "General, which one do you want to order?"
"Just click..." Cao Ren glanced around, pointed at the explosive bag he opened and said, "Just click this!"
"Yes, General."
At this time, Cao Ren took another look at the soldier of the Chinese Army, and suddenly found that there was something wrong with the soldier's expression. There was fear mixed with excitement, and excitement mixed with a hint of deep heaviness. He saw the soldier staring at the torch, and suddenly
Realizing something, he quickly stopped and said: "Wait..."
However, at the moment when Cao Ren shouted, the Wei soldier stopped, and the Huaxia soldier lying half-dead on the ground suddenly rushed over and bumped into the Wei soldier. The torch was knocked away and fell.
Here
On the stack of explosive bags, a chissing sound was heard, and the soldier of the Chinese Army lay on the explosive bags, laughing loudly, with great murderous intent in his eyes, and his face
His expression was already ferocious.
"Long live His Majesty the Great Emperor of China!" At the last moment, the soldier shouted the last voice.
"Disperse!" This scene made Cao Ren feel scared. There were too many secrets in China. A few years ago, those things called sky thunder bombs could explode people alive. Maybe these things were sky thunder bombs.
As a result, Cao Ren was startled and ran away, shouting at the same time.
As soon as Cao Ren ran out of the gate, before the other soldiers could react, the explosive pack at the gate of the city exploded immediately.
"Boom!"
A loud bang came from the city gate, followed by countless loud noises. The huge shock wave caused by the explosion spread in all directions. All the soldiers surrounding the city gate were blown to pieces and bloody.
.Even Cao Ren, who ran out of the door, was blown away by the huge shock wave and fell heavily to the ground. There was a buzzing in his ears.
At the same time as the explosion spread, the soldiers standing on the city wall felt their feet shaking everywhere, as if an earthquake had occurred. However, a large hole was also blasted in the doorway of the city gate, and even the city gate
They were all blown to pieces. However, because the explosives were not placed close to the base of the wall, but were concentrated in the center of the doorway, they did not have much impact on the base of the city wall.
As soon as the explosion sound fell, the Chinese troops outside the city were shocked. They didn't know what happened inside the city gate. But when they heard so many explosions exploding inside the city gate, they were all very excited because the city gate
The door was blown open, so the trip was in vain.
Xu Huang, Guo Jia and others were excited when they saw that the city gate had been blown open, and hurriedly ordered Zhou Cang and others to speed up the snow clearing to open a smooth road for the army to attack Huayin.
At the city gate, Cao Ren got up from the ground and saw that the city gate was blown open. Yang Fu rushed over from the side and said hurriedly: "Quickly lead the troops to block the city gate. We must not let the Chinese army enter the city."
Yang Fudao: "Yes, general. However, the Chinese army has not launched an attack. Only a few people are clearing the snow outside the city. I am here to ask the general whether to shoot the enemy once he enters the shooting range?"
Cao Ren watched Yang Fu keep opening his mouth, but he could hear nothing except the buzzing in his ears. He was too close to the loud noise just now, and his hearing was damaged, so he hurriedly shouted: "You
What the hell are you talking about? I can’t hear you, please speak louder!”
Yang Fu was standing on the city wall. Although he heard the loud noise, because the explosion sound was in the doorway of the city gate, the hard city wall prevented some of the sound from spreading, so his ears were not affected too much.
Influence. When he saw that Cao Ren couldn't hear what he said, he realized the seriousness of the matter. He leaned against Cao Ren's ear and repeated what he had just said loudly.
"Why are you so fucking loud? You think I'm deaf, don't you?" Cao Ren pushed Yang Fu away because Yang Fu shouted too loudly, and at this moment, the buzzing in Cao Ren's ears gradually became louder.
