Chapter 1102: Success in the East and Success in the West (Ninety-Five)

Ye Zhong was not interested in knowing how to defend himself against digging tunnels in the city, because he did not intend to dig tunnels into the city at all. He only needed to dig under the city walls, and these tunnels were not used to allow soldiers to It was put through for the purpose of placing explosives.

At the entrance of the tunnel, the master architect from the Ministry of Industry came out covered in mud with a shovel, looked at everyone, and said proudly: "I knew my surveying and mapping would not be wrong, I found it." The root of it.”

With a clang, he threw the shovel to the ground, "Just put the explosive in the head later. As for how much to put, that's a matter for Yizhen Research Institute."

"Don't worry, we'll leave the rest to us!" Several researchers from the Yizhen Research Institute stood up proudly. In the past few days, their treatment in the military can be said to be either windy or rainy. , offering offerings to them from top to bottom like offerings to Bodhisattvas, and within Yizhen Research Institute, they are just helpers and sidekicks. However, Yizhen Research Institute is extremely mysterious to most people outside. Yes, among the many generals present, only Ye Chong followed Gao Yuan.

Small packages tightly tied with oil paper were carefully carried over one by one. Those holding them were Ye Zhong's soldiers from Jicheng. Looking at their cautious appearance, they looked like they were holding treasures worth tens of thousands of gold.

However, this thing was completely different when it was in the hands of the staff of Yizhen Research Institute. They carried one in one hand, held another under their waist, and just bent down and got in. This casual look showed that The power of this thing made Ye Chong's eyes twitch.

At the same time, the same drama was playing out in front of the three tunnels, and a thousand kilograms of powerful explosives newly developed by Ishin Research Institute were sent down the tunnels and under the city wall.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

"The entire army retreats one mile!" Ye Chong looked at the generals around him and ordered.

"Go back one mile?" Meng Chong said in astonishment.

"Yes, stand back a mile and order all the soldiers to plug their own ears, as well as the ears of the war horses, and even more so for me. If you wait for a while, there will be a lot of noise." Ye Zhong thought of the secrets in the valley. During the experiment, there was a look of lingering fear on his face.

"Understood!" Although he didn't understand why Ye Zhong issued such an order, Meng Chong didn't ask any more questions and turned around to convey the order.

The Han army retreated like a tide, leaving only a few sparse people on their original positions. On the wall of Kangping City, Zhou Yafu, who saw all this, was inexplicable. What was happening to the Han army again? What new tricks are they going to play? Let's say they retreated, but they only retreated a small distance, and they also looked like they were ready to attack at any time.

"Come here, report the situation of the Han army outside the city to the general." Zhou Yafu summoned a soldier and whispered: "The Han army may be up to something else."

Looking at the few Han troops left behind in those positions, Zhou Yafu felt an inexplicable palpitation in his heart. Those positions were exactly where the Han troops were digging tunnels, but under the monitoring in the city, the opponent's tunnels were not there. It did not dig into the city, but stopped when it reached the city wall. It was probably because it hit the stone under the city and could no longer dig in. The city had made all preparations, and the opponent gave up halfway again.

What do they want to do?

Ye Zhong looked at the three remaining researchers from the Yizhen Research Institute. They were holding torches and looking back in the direction where they were. Ye Zhong nodded and whispered: "Let's begin!"

The trumpeter beside him raised his trumpet and blew a loud sound. Hearing the sound of the trumpet, the researchers at three positions simultaneously stretched their torches towards the long match rope extending from the tunnel. The fire burned fiercely and extended inward. They dropped their torches, spread their legs and ran towards the Han army's main formation.

Ye Chong's eyes were fixed on the Kangping city wall, and his eyes were shining with excitement. If he succeeds today, then in the future, any city will never be an obstacle to the advancement of the Han army, just like the king of Han Gaoyuan It is said that the emergence of explosives will completely change the pattern of war on this continent.

What did the King of Han say? By the way, the King of Han said that the emergence of hot weapons would be the end of the era of cold weapons.

In the city, Qu Wan was confused after listening to the statements of the soldiers who came to report the news. Ever since Ye Zhong arrived, the actions of the Han army had been very strange. The attacks seemed to be getting worse day by day, and it seemed more like they were covering up some secret operation. Normally, but if this secret operation was just to cover up their digging of tunnels, then it would be too much to underestimate him. If Kangping City could be captured by digging a tunnel casually, could he still have defended Kangping City for half a year? ?

"Let's go and see what tricks Ye Zhong is playing again!" Qu Wan put on his helmet, took off the saber hanging on the wall, and strode outside.

Just as he stepped out of the gate, an earth-shattering sound of thunder suddenly sounded. The entire Kangping City seemed to be shaking and trembling in the loud sound. After he staggered, he almost fell to the ground. He barely managed to stand still, and the second sound , the third sound came again. This time Qu Wan could no longer stand firm. He was knocked to the ground and fell flat on his back. And none of the soldiers who followed him could stand firm. They were all knocked to the ground by these three loud noises.

Huge smoke and dust rose from Kangping City. The sun seemed to lose its luster at this moment and was blocked by countless smoke and dust. The sky seemed to be dark.

Qu Wan was so shocked that he suddenly pushed himself on the ground and jumped up from the ground. His ears were buzzing and everything in front of him seemed to be shaking. He stared blankly at the sky and murmured: " What is this, what is this?”

"Heaven's punishment, heaven's punishment!" A soldier seemed to be shocked and lost his mind. He was spinning around in circles and shouting irrationally. Qu Wan was furious, and with a choking sound, he pulled out his sword from its sheath and clicked. With a sound, he chopped the crazy soldier to the ground, "Let's go to the city wall, go to the city wall."

Outside the city wall, although the Han army retreated another mile on the original basis, it was also in complete chaos at this time. Although Meng Chong issued an order to plug the ears, especially the ears of the war horses, many of them were People only did some symbolic things, and some even just randomly picked up a handful of weeds on the ground and stuffed them into their ears. From the first loud noise, the war horses exploded.

Even if the war horse's ears were blocked, there was no special plug. Simply stuffing something in it would obviously not make the sensitive war horse deaf. This earth-shattering loud noise made all the war horses lose control. For a moment, the war horses were scurrying around. No matter how good the cavalry's riding skills were, they could no longer control the war horses under their hips. The war horses jumped out from where they were, neighing crazily and scurrying around. Then there were two loud noises, and even more. It makes the war horse go crazy. Let alone controlling the horse, it is quite difficult for the knight to ride on the horse at this time.

The cavalry was in chaos. Fortunately, the cavalry were arranged on both wings of the attack formation and could not move to the central formation. Instead, tens of thousands of infantry in the central formation were already ready to attack. At this time, they were also His body was swaying, his face was in a state of intoxication, and three huge plumes of smoke rose up with a loud noise, not only knocking down the walls of Kangping City, but also dumbfounding the Han soldiers outside who were preparing to attack.

Ye Zhong glared at Meng Chong fiercely. Ye Zhong had already prepared for it. The ears of the horses under his crotches were stuffed with thick cotton. There was a loud noise, and the horses under their crotches were filled with thick cotton. The war horse just raised its hooves uneasily, while Meng Chong was much more embarrassed. He just stuffed a few pieces of cloth into the ears of the war horse. At this time, the war horse was frightened, and with a hooves, he was unprepared. When he dismounted, if the soldiers beside Ye Zhong had not been quick-sighted and used two knives to kill his horse on the spot, Ye Zhong would probably have been thrown into chaos by him.

"Hurry up and restrain the soldiers!" Ye Zhong ripped the cotton out of his ears and shouted angrily at Meng Chong.

"Ah, ah?" Meng Chong opened his mouth wide and said a few times. Then he realized that there was still cotton stuffed in his ears. He pulled it off and looked at the messy scene, and his face turned blue.

"Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet. Officers from all departments, restrain the soldiers and return to their own formations." He jumped on his feet and shouted and ran away. As he ran, he looked towards the place where the smoke column was rising. "What is this? What is this?" Son?"

The smoke and dust dissipated. In front of the Han army, the 100-meter wall of the originally majestic Kangping City had completely collapsed. On top of that section of the wall, the Chu army general Zhou Yafu, who was preparing to command the battle, also followed at this moment. Those three explosions disappeared without a trace.

Miserable can no longer be used to describe the miserable state of this section of the city wall. Because they were preparing to defend against the Han army's attack, the city wall was densely packed with Chu soldiers. During these three loud noises, they also followed their generals. It also turned into a rain of blood in this smoke and dust.

Broken tanks, broken walls, broken arms, and broken limbs fell from the sky like raindrops, scattering in the surrounding area.

Qu Wan quickly rushed towards the city wall.

He suddenly stopped. In front of him, there was a vast expanse of light, and the city walls were gone.

With a snap, something fell from the air and landed in front of him. It was a black severed hand. As the severed hand fell, pieces of dripping flesh and blood fell from the air like raindrops.

Outside the city, Meng Chong finally restrained the soldiers who were as panicked as those in Kangping City. At this time, the Han army's usually strict military discipline finally came into play.

"The king gave me magical weapons to help me break the city. The Han Dynasty will be victorious!" Ye Zhong raised the sword in his hand and shouted angrily. Hundreds of soldiers around him repeated Ye Zhong's words in unison.

"Long live the king, long live, long live the king!" The souls of the Han army finally returned to their bodies. It was the king. It was their king who gave them the most powerful weapons and weapons, which helped them defeat them in one fell swoop. They fought for half a year. Kangping City was not captured. Following Ye Zhong's shouts, they waved their weapons and shouted wildly.

"Attack the city!" Ye Zhong grabbed the horse's belly with both legs and rushed towards it.

"Wan Sheng!" Tens of thousands of soldiers burst into earth-shattering shouts and ran towards Kangping City. (To be continued)
