Chapter 352: A serial plan to escape from trouble (Part 2)
Xia Bao frowned: "I am here well, what's wrong with me?"
The messenger's neck shrank: "Your Majesty, something happened in the city!"
Xia Bao's eyes narrowed: "What happened in the city?"
The messenger said with a mournful face: "Your Majesty, the convoy heading towards the South City Gate and the North City Gate all stopped when they were about to reach the two city gates!"
"Then, the coachmen untied their horses and turned around to rush out of the East City Gate!"
"Those people are not coachmen, but elite barren state cavalry!"
A glimmer of wisdom flashed in Xia Bao's eyes: "Are the carriages driving towards the South City Gate and North City Gate all empty?"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The messenger wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: "They are all empty."
Xia Bao pointed forward: "Because, only the west road is the carriage that transports my money and food."
"Don't worry, our army has intercepted King Huangzhou's convoy. Wait a moment. They can take back the money and food!"
suddenly.
A trace of doubt came to Xia Bao's mind: "Why didn't the Huangzhou people fight out through the south city gate and the north city gate, but turned around and tried to fight out through the east city gate?"
The messenger gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the convoy heading to the east city gate has left the city!"
"The guard at the East City Gate disappeared with his soldiers!"
"The people we sent to monitor the east city gate all died on the tower!"
"What?"
The general manager of Laifu was shocked: "Is the guard of the East City Gate one of theirs?"
"Isn't that the guard of the West City Gate we just captured?"
"Did we fall into a trap?"
Xia Bao's face gradually darkened, and he said bitterly: "Be bold and remove the word "isn't it?"
"We fell into Lao Jiu's trick of seducing the west and attacking the east!"
"The guard of the East City Gate is his!"
The general manager of Laifu gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, let me lead my men to chase him!"
"snort"
Xia Bao raised his eyelids and rushed forward: "No need!"
"As long as you catch Death Old Nine, my money and food will come back on their own."
Laifu's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty is wise!"
at this time.
"Da da da"
Another messenger rushed from the front: "Report"
Xia Bao's eyes brightened: "Have you caught Huangzhou King and Du Yue'er?"
The messenger said with a cry: "Your Majesty, something serious has happened!"
Suddenly.
Xia Bao's heart sank: "Tell me clearly, what's going on?"
"Did you accidentally injure King Huangzhou and Du Yue'er?"
The messenger flew off his horse, knelt down in front of Xia Bao and cried: "Your Majesty, we have been defeated!"
"What?"
Xia Bao looked in disbelief: "This is impossible!"
"This is absolutely impossible!"
"Lao Jiu only has one or two thousand people around him, how can he possibly defeat my army?"
"You bitch, you cry and make me upset. If you start crying again, I will kill your whole family!"
The messenger immediately did not dare to cry anymore!
"Is it the king of Huangzhou who has a large army secretly?"
"no!"
Xia Bao roared: "Then how could my army be defeated?"
The messenger then said timidly: "At the beginning, we surrounded King Huangzhou's convoy. The general ordered a charge and prepared to capture King Huangzhou and Du Yue'er alive!"
"Unexpectedly, the carriage was empty. There was a box inside that could spray poisonous smoke. When our Yangzhou soldiers rushed over, the box could spray poisonous smoke. First, all the cavalrymen were poisoned to the ground, and then the poisonous gas Continue to float in all directions."
"At that time, the moon was dark and the wind was high. After inhaling the poisonous gas, the war horses went crazy and began to charge back the army formation, scattering the army!"
The ordering soldier exaggerated vigorously: "The poisonous smoke was also very strange, as if it had eyes. It chased our soldiers and frightened the army into fleeing!"
Xia Baofang's face was full of confusion: "Does Lao Jiu know magic?"
The messenger nodded fiercely: "General Pan said the same thing."
At this time.
"Run!"
The defeated troops in front finally counterattacked!
When General Pan saw Xia Bao, he came in a state of embarrassment and said, "My lord, I am incompetent and I have come here to apologize!"
A cold light flashed in Xia Bao's eyes, and he drew his sword. The light of the sword flashed past General Pan's neck like a rainbow: "Idiot!"
"It's a shame that the Pan family is the general of Yangzhou. How could the children they raised be so useless?"
"You deserve to be damned for delaying my important mission!"
General Pan covered the blood in his throat, his eyes widened, and he fell off his horse and died.
Then.
"puff"
The blood line between General Pan's throat broke, and blood burst out, staining the ground red.
At this time,
Xia Bao's personal guards rushed forward with knives. They swung their sabers and slashed with one blow. They blocked the defeated troops in front of Xia Bao and shouted sternly: "Your Majesty has an order. Anyone who retreats again - kill!"
Suddenly, the scene became bloody.
The defeated soldiers stopped their frantic escape and stood shivering in front of the summer storm.
Xia Bao was furious when he saw these defeated troops.
He yelled at the moon: "Damn old Jiu, no matter how you act like a monster, you can't escape!"
"Come here, give me an order to General Shangguan. I want to mobilize 30,000 private troops!"
The general manager of Laifu reminded with some worry: "Your Majesty, if we use private troops now, we may be noticed by the spy deployed by the imperial court in Yangzhou City!"
Xia Bao looked at the sky and said, "It doesn't matter!"
"As long as we can withdraw our troops and return to camp before dawn, we won't be discovered."
Only then did Laifu send someone to say: "Send an order to General Shangguan to lead 30,000 troops to pursue eastward. Your Majesty will arrive soon!"
"yes!"
The soldiers, as if they had been granted amnesty, mounted their horses and headed for the Yangzhou camp.
Shortly after.
Summer Storm arrived on horseback at a scene full of quicklime.
He looked at the white ground, listened to the wailing of blindfolded Yangzhou, and said irritably: "Get rid of all these useless people!"
"yes!"
His soldiers rode forward and chopped down the injured Yangzhou soldiers one after another. The war horses also did the same.
The river of blood is disgusting.
Suddenly, the place fell silent!
Xia Bao pointed at the carriage paths and said, "Pull all these things back and see how it's done?"
"yes!"
One by one, the Yangzhou palace guards jumped on the carriage.
Then, sudden changes occurred.
"Swish swish"
Small crossbow arrows were shot from the carriage, directly penetrating their bodies, bringing out a stream of blood: "There is a mechanism!"
At the same time, the holes in the wooden boxes were closed with wooden boards, and small flames ignited, igniting the bamboo tubes containing kerosene inside and burning the closed wooden boxes full of lime.
Immediately afterwards.
"Boom boom boom"
The wooden boxes exploded!
Balls of flames shot up into the sky, and the earth collapsed, killing all the Yangzhou Palace guards on the carriage.
The remaining limbs flew around, like a punishment from heaven.
Hundreds of wooden boxes exploded with a horrifying sound, wooden boards were shot indiscriminately, and wheels rolled in the air, which was extremely scary.
In a closed space full of dust, if the temperature is too high, a dust explosion will occur.
Xia Tian is a professional when it comes to making explosions. He can do it even without gunpowder.
certainly.
He always does things step by step, never leaving secrets for people to decipher. Everything is used where it should be, and nothing is wasted.
