It was midsummer, the heat wave was bone-shattering, the grass was growing green and the grass was green, and under the clear sky, a burst of dust blew through, breaking the tranquility of the sky.
at this time.
After more than ten days of long-distance raids, Generals Huo Qubing and Dugu Fa had led their two legions into the depths of the grassland.
After several days of small-scale battles, Huo Qubing was sure that the Mongolian enemy troops were heading for the Northern Han King's City. After discussing with Dugu Fa, he accelerated the advance of the two armies, crossed the hinterland of the grassland, and fought towards the Mongolian King's City.
At present, north of Wancheng, the entire grassland has fallen into chaos. From time to time, there are sounds of war horses neighing. It is not known whether they are Chu soldiers or Mongolian enemy soldiers.
Anyway, Huo Qubing and Dugu Fa's troops slaughtered all the Mongolian tribes they encountered during their advance, without giving them the slightest chance.
The battle under Wancheng came as scheduled. The sky above the city seemed to be shrouded in a sudden cold winter. The Mongolian army came to the city, with swords and swords and shadows crisscrossing the sky. The cold light made people shudder.
The Mongolian enemy soldiers launched a fierce attack without any hesitation. It seemed that the long-term attack on Beihan King's City for a month had made them lose all their patience.
The Mongolian enemy troops advanced aggressively, including siege equipment, chariots and crossbows, all towards the city. On the city trebuchets, bed crossbows, and even crossbows were already on the strings.
Zhou Yu guarded Wancheng for two years, and with the governance of Shentu Sheng, the development in the past few years has been rapid. The people in Wancheng were already strong, and all the people were already soldiers.
They cherish their hard-won peaceful life. Now the Mongolian army has come and wants to break their tranquility. Who will agree?
Knowing that the enemy army was approaching the border, the people in the city were fully armed and declared that they would fight the Mongolian enemy troops. The army and the people were united and hated the enemy. Zhou Yu was deeply moved and ordered the people in the city to assist the army, and promised to guard Wancheng and not let them
His home was destroyed.
"Fifth Kuo, all the gunpowder packets and black oil brought from the Nameless Island will be transported to the city. The Mongolian enemy troops will attack the city and let them taste the power of the gunpowder packets first."
In the past month, the gunpowder cartridges developed by Wen Boya on Wuming Island have begun mass production and have been put into the battlefield in large quantities. Zhou Yu made a special trip to Wuming Island before returning to Wancheng, and the three armies brought back all Wen Boya's inventory.
The power of oil. During the Battle of Sakura County, Zhou Yu witnessed with his own eyes that the Mongolian enemy steppe barbarians had nothing but brute strength. They had never seen oil and gunpowder packets before. Zhou Yu decided to let them experience the power of these two divine objects today.
A little while.
Wu Kuo led his troops to transport all the oil and gunpowder bags to the city. Zhou Yu told Shan Li and Meng Ye how to use them, and asked them to distribute the oil and gunpowder bags to his soldiers.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The siege equipment under the city made a distant sound, and deep ravines appeared on the ground wherever it passed, which showed the power of the Mongolian army's equipment.
The sound of horse hooves resounded across the sky, hunting flags fluttered in the wind, and Temujin's figure was as straight as a sword, standing on a huge chariot.
The eight generals in the first row are the four mastiffs and heroes under Temujin's command, flanked by his four adopted sons and four brothers.
There are two people on the huge chariot, one is an immortal and holds a whisk in his hand. He looks like an outsider. This person is Qiu Chuji, whom Temujin believes in as an immortal. The other is Temujin.
The counselor Yelu Chucai.
"Wokuotai, those who are afraid of it will be defeated soon. Bian Feng listened to the order and ordered the four of you to lead the troops to launch a fierce attack on Wancheng. You must capture Wancheng in one fell swoop and secure the opportunity for our army to enter the imperial city of Chu State.
time."
"I am sending an order to the officers and soldiers of the three armies. There are countless gold and silver treasures in the Chu State, as well as countless beauties and fine wines. All of this is due to the officers and soldiers of the three armies who captured Wancheng."
Originally, one of the four mastiffs under Temujin's command was Zhebie, a master archer. Because Emperor Chu summoned him, Zhebie's position was replaced by Bian Feng, who was also a master archer rarely seen in thousands of years.
"Got the order!"
The four men took the order, flew their horses, led the infantry soldiers under their command to rush out, and launched the first round of attack on Wancheng.
The Mongolian army's catapults and powerful crossbows launched a fierce attack. Arrows in the sky were like rainbows, flying rocks were like waterfalls, covering the sky and the sun and shrouding Wancheng.
Zhou Yu signaled the soldiers to hide behind the city. He was still very confident in the construction of Wancheng and would not be unable to withstand a strong attack by the Mongolian army.
Flying arrows and gravel flew through the void, and there was a violent collision on the battle shield. Zhou Yu stood up and stared at the city, waving his sword to signal the Chu army officers to start counterattack.
The gunpowder bag flew out into the air, and the arrows covered with black oil erupted in flames. They flew out of the air in an instant and crushed down the city. The smoke was billowing and full of power.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The explosion sounded loudly, and thick flames ignited on the ground. The flaming arrows penetrated the Mongolian army. Screams and wails could be heard endlessly, and figures were struggling crazily on the ground.
"Fire the arrow!"
"Fire the arrow!"
Three generals, Zhou Yu, Shan Li and Meng Ye, commanded the Chu army on the city to attack wildly. Under the attack of gunpowder packets and oil, the Mongolian enemy soldiers were deterred and did not dare to take a step closer.
On the chariot.
Temujin looked ferocious and angry. Looking at the retreating army, he roared: "The four heroes listened to the order and immediately attacked the city. In addition, the soldiers of the three armies were ordered to kill those who dare to retreat on the spot!"
"Wait!"
"Your Majesty, the Chu army is cunning, their arrows are on fire, and the objects thrown from their trebuchets have exploded on a large scale, causing great damage to our army. We cannot let the four heroes lead the troops to attack. This will only waste the lives of the army."
Qiu Chuji shook the whisk lightly and made a quick voice. The anger on Temujin's face disappeared and he asked sideways.
"The Immortal has a way!"
"Your Majesty, first order the three armies to retreat. As for the method of destroying the city, Pindao will seal it himself."
Qiu Chuji's voice was sonorous, and he looked like he was strategizing. Temujin raised his hand and waved, the chariot creaked, and the 300,000-strong army began to retreat backwards.
On Wancheng.
The soldiers of the Chu army were excited when they saw the Mongolian enemy retreating, but Zhou Yu frowned. The Mongolian enemy would not withdraw so easily. He was worried that there was a mystery hidden in it and that the Mongolian enemy was thinking of some treacherous plot.
"General Mongolia, King Beihan, is it a little unusual for the Mongolian enemy troops to withdraw after just one attack today?"
"Don't worry, General Zhou. The power of the oil and gunpowder packets is too strong. They can't reach the city at all. It is reasonable for them to be forced to withdraw."
As Shan Li spoke, he turned around and motioned for Zhou Yu to look down the city. It was obvious that the attack of gunpowder packets and oil had achieved very significant results.
Under the curling smoke, the corpses of the Mongolian enemy soldiers were scattered all over the field, with swords, spears, swords and halberds scattered everywhere. The gurgling blood stained the fallen flags red. This attack on the Mongolian enemy soldiers indeed suffered heavy losses.
Zhou Yu couldn't help but believe Shan Li's words, believing that the Mongolian enemy soldiers ordered to withdraw because they could not resist the attack of oil and gunpowder packets.
In fact, this was not the case. Qiu Chuji was really harboring bad intentions, waiting to annihilate all the Chu troops in Wancheng in one fell swoop. (To be continued)
