The second largest city in Guzhou is also the gateway to Jingfu City.
Guzhou General Nangong Wen led 30,000 Beijing troops to Qishan City early, and Nalan Cai arrived at the front line one day after him.
Under Nalancai's vigorous and resolute series of measures, residents of towns hundreds of miles around Qishan City were escorted and evacuated.
Nangong Wen divided his troops into 10,000 troops and garrisoned them in seven towns in front of Qishan City.
But who would have thought that it would only last three days.
Seven cities!
There are nearly 15,000 garrisoned soldiers plus officers recruited from various local governments! .??.
All killed!
Nangong Wen's eyes were filled with horror as he listened to the reports from the soldiers who had desperately rushed back from Yunshang City.
"You mean, you were all defeated by the enemy forces who forcibly broke open the city gate!"
The soldier was covered in blood, and his bloodshot pupils were filled with sadness. "General, it is indeed true!"
"The other party didn't know what they used to completely destroy the city gate in one fell swoop, and then the army poured in to attack the city!"
"There are no siege engines or ladders at all!"
Nangong Wen was a little unbelievable, yelled that it was impossible, and then looked at Nalan Cai.
Compared to his panic, Nalancai seemed more calm. He looked at the soldiers and said coldly, "You mean, before the city was broken, you all heard the violent noise?"
There was a bit of confusion in the soldier's eyes, and then he nodded affirmatively, "Yes! It was the same when I was stationed in Yancheng, and it was the same in Yunshang City."
"After the sound like thunder, the city gate was destroyed! The enemy troops took the opportunity to rush into the city, and there were too many of them!"
"Even if the commanders set up an ambush in the city, they are still no match for their human wave tactics! And..."
"And what!" Nangong Wen asked quickly.
The soldier said bitterly, "The number of enemy troops is
The quantity is increasing every day! There is no sharp decrease at all, and troops are being continuously replenished every day!"
When Nalancai heard this, he knew that part of the enemy's main force should have arrived.
"You go down and recuperate first."
She said this, and after the soldiers left, Nangong Wen asked, "What is it that can destroy the city gate in one go? If we don't find out this thing, I'm afraid we won't be able to defend Qishan City!"
Even the gate of an ordinary city weighs hundreds of kilograms. On weekdays, more than ten or twenty big men need to work together to open and close the gate.
As for the gate of Qishan City, it weighs thousands of kilograms, and not only that, but also has a layer of molten iron poured into it.
If it were normal, Nangong Wen would have been confident that the more than 20,000 people in the city could block the 100,000 troops and hold on until reinforcements arrived.
At this moment, Shan heard how the seven cities including Yunshang City were breached, but he no longer had this confidence!
Because once the city gate is breached by the enemy in this way, they cannot rely on the fortified city to consume the enemy's army.
Once the city gates were breached and a large army poured into the city, how could a mere 20,000 people resist?
Nalancai's eyes moved strangely, "It's not like there is no such thing."
"Sir, do you know?" Nangong Wen asked quickly.
He is a general of Guzhou, his rank is not low, starting from the third rank.
But Nalan Cai was indeed a third-rank official as a state shepherd, and he was in charge of a state. Even the Sixth-level Zuo Shilang, who was also a third-rank official, was far inferior in terms of power.
Therefore, she knows some secrets that outsiders don't know.
She once saw a gunpowder explosion in the imperial capital. It was after Zhao Kang asked someone to send the gunpowder.
The craftsmen from Yuanjiang County who came with him demonstrated to Jingguo how to use gunpowder.
.
Over the years, Zhao Kang's Yuanjiang County has transported a total of 30,000 kilograms of gunpowder to Qian Kingdom.
They are all hidden in the warehouse of the Ministry of War like treasures.
People from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry have been studying how to get this pile of black powder all day long.
But unfortunately, after two years, there is still no harvest.
In that gunpowder explosion demonstration, craftsmen from Yuanjiang County used a full hundred kilograms to explode a thousand kilograms of boulder into pieces.
That scene immediately frightened Nalan Cai, and now I heard that the enemy actually had weapons that could breach the city gate in one go.
It also made a violent sound like thunder when used. Nalancai immediately thought of gunpowder.
His eyes suddenly became sharp. If the other party was really using gunpowder, then this would be a big deal.
This gunpowder is only owned by the state. If the enemy uses gunpowder to breach the city gate, does that mean...??.
Is there the shadow of Qian Guo behind the enemy's attack on Jing Guo this time?
There is no reason why Nalancai didn't make the connection. It's not like playing games between countries. It takes a hundred years to repair this kind of thing. Just listen to it.
There are no permanent enemies and friends in the world, only permanent interests.
Thinking of this, Nalan Cai said softly, "General Nangong, go and set up defenses. The enemy will arrive soon."
Nangong Wen nodded lightly. No matter how powerful the enemy army is at the moment, what they have to do is to defend Qishan City until they die in battle!
For this reason, after Nangong Wen left, he had people hang up the Wu-character flag on the top of the city!
To show determination.
Nalan Cai wrote a letter in his own hand, informing the court that the enemy might use this magical weapon like gunpowder.
Seeing the messenger leaving quickly, Nalancai called a general with firm eyes.
"grown ups?"
"Move out all the kerosene in the city, demolish all the houses in the front city, and pile the dismantled wood in one place."
"All the food is gathered together!"
The general was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask any questions and turned around to carry out the order.
Looking up at the city gate, Nalancai knew that if the enemy really had gunpowder, Qishan City would not be able to defend it.
As soon as the city gate was broken, the army poured in, waiting for the defenders like themselves to die!
Under such circumstances, we can only inflict heavy damage on the enemy as much as possible and leave no supplies to the enemy!
A figure seemed to appear on the horizon. Nalancai looked at it and suddenly laughed, her appearance was very beautiful.
She used her ability to hear the voice and whispered, "Don't leave in such a hurry, you have to wait for me."
Two days later.
Outside Qishan City, an army of tigers and wolves appeared, and there was no end in sight to the overwhelming crowd.
Dark clouds are threatening to destroy the city!
Looking at the Qishan City in the distance, the towering city walls seemed indestructible, Chamuha grinned and turned to look at a man next to Huyanzhuo with his arms crossed and a stern look in his eyes.
"General Huibo, this city doesn't look very strong!"
Huibo showed a hint of sarcasm, "If you can't blow it up once, then blow it up twice. Our Skyfire Army carries plenty of explosives!"
"In the fortified city gate, they are nothing more than chickens and dogs!"
Chamuha and Huyanzhuo laughed loudly, "That's right! We destroyed this city today!"
As he said this, Chamuha waved his hand and said, "Attack the city!"
The dull horn whistled, and the siege soldiers under Hu Yanzhuo launched a charge. Among this group of siege soldiers, there was a group of soldiers carrying heavy items on their backs.
They are the real reason why the Jin people can dominate Guzhou!
