Guo Mingcheng can accept Cao Jingzhang being ambushed.
But he couldn't accept it no matter what. Cao Jingzhang was killed and 20,000 Liangzhou's main force was wiped out.
He even couldn't accept that Qingfeng Pass was defeated by the Wei army in just one day, and Li Chengdao was killed.
It's not that Guo Mingcheng can't accept failure, it's just that he can't believe that all of this is true.
Don't say Guo Mingcheng can't believe it.
Every one of the diners in the war preparation hall could not accept it.
Because this is not an easy war to lose at all.
Counselor Zhong Chengyun looked at the messenger and asked hurriedly: "Tell me quickly, what is going on? I have two generals in Xiliang, 50,000 warriors, and a majestic pass. How could they be so easily defeated?"
The Wei army is destroyed."
The messenger hurriedly said: "General Cao Jingzhang was ambushed by the Wei army at Heifengkou and Sandao Yazi, and was finally killed by Shen Binglan, the female swordswoman in white clothes of the Wei Dynasty."
"Qingfeng Pass... Qingfeng Pass is because the Wei army has a particularly terrifying weapon called an artillery. The artillery is like a big iron pipe and can fire an explosive weapon called...
The cannonball thing, when it explodes, everyone within a foot will be blown to pieces or disabled, and the artillery can also fire solid bullets, which is extremely destructive to city walls and gates."
"The most important thing is that the range of this artillery is more than 1,500 steps. The ordnance at the top of our city can't even shoot a thousand steps. In addition, we have never seen artillery at all, so hundreds of them in the Wei army
Under the bombardment of artillery, the city was instantly reduced to ruins, ordnance was destroyed, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties."
"The shells were not only highly lethal, but also exploded like thunder. The soldiers inside the pass were also frightened. But General Li Chengdao was on the city, so our army immediately fell into a passive position. The Wei army took the opportunity to launch a general attack on Qingfeng Pass.
, our army had no time to react, Qingfeng Pass... Qingfeng Pass fell..."
This messenger escaped from Qingfeng Pass, so when he thinks about it now, his eyes are still filled with fear.
The artillery really caused a great psychological shadow on him.
Listen to what the messenger says.
Everyone in the hall gasped, dumbfounded, and horrified.
Artillery, with a range of more than 1,500 steps, and an explosion damage range of more than ten feet...
They have never heard of this kind of weapon, let alone seen it.
They thought that Qin Yu could develop fire bombs fired from slings, which was very, very outrageous.
But the artillery with such huge lethality really made their hair stand on end.
Because this is simply not something that humans can resist.
The city gate is right there.
At a distance of 1,500 steps, they seemed to have no other choice but to watch themselves being bombed.
This is simply appalling.
Even if they heard what the messenger said with their own ears, they still couldn't believe it.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!!!"
Liang King Guo Mingcheng's eyes widened and he was furious, "I don't believe that the Wei army has such a lethal weapon. You must be lying to me! It must be!!!"
The messenger heard his roar and trembled with fear, "Your Majesty, I escaped from Qingfeng Pass. I saw the city head reduced to ruins in an instant. That... that round of bombing
When we came down, there were broken limbs flying all over the sky..."
"Not only cannons, the Wei army also has a fire-breathing cart. The flames can spray a foot away. The gate-blocking cart we blocked at the city gate was burned by that thing!"
As the messenger spoke, he couldn't help crying again.
For the first time, he felt that war could be so bloody and cruel.
I saw the messenger saying this.
A chill once again rose in the hearts of everyone in the hall.
A cart that can spit out flames a foot away?
This is simply a fantasy, how could such a weapon exist.
Now they look back and look at the overall situation, and seem to understand everything.
They understood why Qin Yu led a hundred thousand troops and dared to attack Liangzhou with great force.
They understood why Qin Yu led an army of 100,000 and dared to divide his troops into three groups.
After they understood why Qin Yu led 40,000 troops, they dared to go deep into Qingfeng Pass to gnaw on this hard bone.
It turns out that Qin Yu is not arrogant, but full of confidence. He has grasped the overall situation from the beginning.
Why did Qin Yu hide such a powerful weapon so deeply?
Just to capture Qingfeng Pass with lightning speed.
Once Qingfeng Pass was taken, Liangzhou not only lost a great pass, but also lost more than half of its army.
In this way, the overall situation of the entire Liangzhou Army is in Qin Yu's hands.
Although everyone does not believe it, they now have to accept this fact.
at the same time.
One after another, messengers rushed into Prince Liang's Mansion to report the battle situation.
In such an unexpected situation, Du Wu, the guard of Baima Pass, was afraid that Guo Mingcheng would not believe it, so he sent many people back.
Because of this, even he himself couldn't accept it.
It has a range of more than a thousand steps and explosive range damage.
This kind of weapon should not be in the human world, but should be in the heavenly palace.
Zhong Chengyun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, since it has become a fact that General Cao Jingzhang and General Li Chengdao have been killed, we must cheer up and go all out for the next road."
Listen to what Zhong Chengyun says.
Guo Mingcheng turned a deaf ear and just clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Qin Yu! It must be Qin Yu, that bastard! Only he can develop such a shameless weapon! It must be him!!!"
Guo Mingcheng roared, his eyes bloodshot.
He wished he could kill Qin Yu now, eat his flesh, drink his blood, and sleep on his skin.
Listen to what Guo Mingcheng said.
Everyone in the hall also reacted.
This great prince-in-law of the Wei Dynasty is truly remarkable. Since Xiao Zhenghan had this son-in-law as his assistant, the development of the Wei Dynasty has been rapid.
They didn't feel like they had reacted yet.
Dawei has become a towering tree that is out of reach for them.
Zhong Chengyun had no choice but to say again: "Your Majesty, the news that Qin Yu captured Qingfeng Pass in one day will probably be spread out soon. We only have 50,000 troops in hand now, of which 20,000 are reinforcements. If they are not recalled as soon as possible,
Liangzhou Prefecture, they are likely to be recalled to the country, and then we will be even more passive."
The words fell into place.
Only then did Guo Mingcheng react.
Rongcheng and Shengqingcheng each had 10,000 reinforcements.
If they knew that more than half of the Liangzhou Army had been lost and Qingfeng Pass was lost, they would definitely withdraw.
After all, no one is willing to risk death.
Only then did everyone in the hall realize that Liangzhou seemed to have reached a dead end without realizing it.
