I’m The King Chapter 1102: : East and west (ninety-five)
As for how to prevent himself from digging tunnels in the city, Ye Zhong is not interested in knowing at all, because he does not intend to dig his tunnels into the city at all, he only needs to dig under the city wall, and these tunnels are not used It is not for soldiers to pass through, but for placing explosives.
At the entrance of the tunnel, the master builder 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 be correct, I have found its root."
With a bang, he threw the shovel to the ground, "Just put the explosives in the head later, as for how much to put, that's the business of Yizhen Research Institute."
"Don't worry, we will leave the rest to us!" Several researchers from the Yizhen Research Institute stood up triumphantly. It rains when it rains, offering them up and down like bodhisattvas. In the Yizhen Research Institute, they are just helpers and role players. But for most people outside the Yizhen Research Institute, they are It is extremely mysterious, like among the many generals present, only Ye Zhong followed Gao Yuan there.
Small packages tightly bound with oil paper were carefully carried over, and the ones holding them were all soldiers from Jicheng from Ye Zhong, looking at their cautious appearance, it was like holding treasures worth tens of thousands of gold.
However, when this thing is in the hands of the staff of the Yizhen Research Institute, it is quite different. One is held in one hand, and the other is clamped under the side, and just like this, he bent down and got in. This casual appearance, it seems The corners of Ye Zhong's eyes twitched as he knew the power of this thing.
At the same time, before the three tunnels, the same scene was playing out. A thousand kilograms of powerful explosives newly developed by the Yizhen Research Institute were sent down the tunnels into the city wall.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
"The whole army retreats one mile!" Ye Zhong looked at the several generals around him and ordered.
"Back for a mile?" Meng Chong asked in astonishment.
"Yes, step back for a mile, and order all the soldiers to plug their own ears and the ears of the horses, especially for me. After a while, there will be some loud noises." Ye Zhong remembered those who were in the valley In the secret experiment, there was a look of lingering fear on his face.
"Understood!" Although he didn't understand why Ye Zhong gave such an order, Meng Chong still didn't ask any more questions, and turned around to deliver the order.
The Han army retreated like a tide, leaving only a few sparse people on their original position. On the wall of Kangping City, Zhou Yafu, who saw all this, was baffled. What kind of new tricks is this going to play? Say they retreat, but they only retreated a little distance, and they also put on a look of attacking 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 again."
Looking at the few Han troops staying above those positions, Zhou Yafu felt inexplicably palpitated. The tunnel did not dig into the city, but stopped when it reached the city wall, probably because it encountered a stone under the city and could no longer dig in. The city had already made all preparations, and the opponent gave up halfway.
What are they trying to do?
Ye Zhong looked at the researchers of the Yizhen Research Institute who stayed in the three positions. They were holding torches and looking back at the direction they were in. Ye Zhong nodded and said in a low voice: "Let's start!"
The trumpeter next to him raised his trumpet and blew a loud horn. Hearing the sound of the trumpet, the researchers in the three positions simultaneously stretched out the torches in their hands towards the long tunnel extending from the tunnel. Looking at the fire rope, they saw the fire burning and extending inward. They threw down the torches, spread their legs and ran towards the Han army's main formation.
Ye Zhong fixed his eyes on the city wall of Kangping, and his eyes were full of excitement. If he succeeds today, then in the days to come, no city will become an obstacle to the advance of the Han army. As Hanwang Gaoyuan said, the emergence of explosives will completely change the mode of warfare on this continent.
What did the king of Han say? By the way, the king of Han said that the emergence of hot weapons will end the era of cold weapons.
In the city, after listening to the statements of the soldiers who came to report, Qu Wan was also at a loss. Since Ye Zhong arrived, the actions of the Han army have been very strange. What kind of secret operation is average, but if this secret operation is just to cover up their digging tunnels, then he is too underestimated. If he can capture Camping City by just digging a tunnel, then he can still defend Camping City Half a year?
"Let's go, take a look, what tricks is this Ye Zhong playing again!" Qu Wan put on his helmet, took off the saber hanging on the wall, and strode out.
Just after stepping out of the gate, there was an earth-shattering thunderclap, and the whole city of Kangping seemed to be shaking and trembling amidst the loud noise. The second sound and the third sound came in succession. This time, Qu Wan didn't stand still anymore, and was directly knocked down to the ground. Stable, all of them were knocked to the ground amidst the three consecutive bangs.
Huge smoke and dust rose from the city of Kangping. The sun seemed to lose its brilliance at this moment and was blocked by countless smoke and dust. The sky seemed to be dark.
Qu Wan turned pale with shock, he pushed the ground suddenly, jumped up from the ground, his ears were buzzing, everything seemed to be shaking, he stared blankly at the sky, murmured Authentic: "What is this, what is this?"
"God's Punishment, God's Punishment!" A soldier seemed to have lost his mind due to the shock. Sheath, with a snap, knocked the crazy soldier to the ground, "Go, go to the city wall, go to the city wall."
Beyond the city wall, although the Han army withdrew another mile on the basis of the original foundation, but at this time, it was completely messed up. Although Meng Chong gave an order to plug the ears, especially the ears of the horses , but many people just did something symbolically, and some even just casually touched a handful of weeds on the ground and stuffed them in their ears. From the first loud noise, the horses exploded.
Even if the ears of the war horse are blocked, there is no special plug. Simply plugging something like this cannot make the sensitive war horse deaf. This earth-shattering loud noise deafened all the war horses All of a sudden, the horses ran wildly. No matter how good the cavalryman's riding skills were, he couldn't control the horses under his crotch at this moment. , It makes the horse almost crazy, let alone the knight on the horse, it is not easy to let himself ride on the horse at this time.
The cavalry was in a mess. Fortunately, the cavalry were deployed on the two wings of the attack formation, and they could not shake the central formation. Instead, the tens of thousands of infantry in the central formation were ready to attack. At this time, the body was staggering, and the face was intoxicated. Three huge clouds of smoke and dust rose up with the sound of the loud noise, which not only knocked down the walls of Kangping City, but also stunned the soldiers of the Han army who were about to attack outside. eye.
Ye Zhong glared at Meng Chong fiercely. Ye Zhong had already prepared for it. He and the soldiers he brought stuffed thick cotton into the ears of the horses under the crotch. The war horse under his crotch just raised its hooves uneasily, while Meng Chong on the other side was much more embarrassed. He just stuffed a few cloth **** into the ears of the war horse. At this time, the war horse was frightened. He jumped off his horse, and if it wasn't for Ye Zhong's soldiers who were quick-eyed and quick-handed, with two knives, beheading his horse on the spot, I'm afraid Ye Zhong would be messed up here too.
"Hurry up and restrain the soldiers!" Ye Zhong tore off the cotton from his ears and shouted angrily at Meng Chong.
"Ah, ah?" Meng Chong opened his mouth wide and murmured a few times, only then did he realize that his ears were still stuffed with cotton, and he tore them off, looking at the messy scene, his face turned blue.
"Blow the horn, blow the horn, all officers, restrain the soldiers, and return to the front line." He jumped and shouted and ran away, looking at the place where the smoke column rose while running, "What is this, what is this What is it?"
The smoke and dust dissipated, and in front of the Han army, the original majestic Kangping city wall of more than 100 meters had completely collapsed, and on that section of the city wall, Zhou Yafu, the general of the Chu army who was standing there ready to command the battle, at this moment, It also disappeared with the three explosions.
It is no longer possible to use miserable words to describe the miserable appearance of this section of the city wall, because it was preparing to defend against the attack of the Han army, and the city wall was densely packed with soldiers from the Chu army. The generals of the army also turned into a rain of blood in the smoke and dust.
Broken tanks, broken walls, broken arms, and broken limbs fell from the sky like raindrops and scattered in the surrounding area.
Qu Wan quickly rushed towards the city wall.
He stopped suddenly, in front of him, there was a bright light, the city wall was gone.
With a bang, 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 fell from the air like raindrops.
Outside the city, Meng Chong managed to restrain the same panic-stricken soldiers as those in Kangping City. At this time, the strict military discipline of the Han army finally played a role.
"The king bestowed divine soldiers, help me to break the city. The big man will win!" Ye Zhong raised the sword high in his hand, and shouted angrily. Hundreds of soldiers around him repeated Ye Zhong's shout in unison.
"Long live the king, long live, long live!" The souls of the Han army finally returned to their bodies. After fighting for half a year, they failed to take down Kangping City. Following Ye Zhong's shout, they waved their weapons and shouted frantically.
"Siege the city!" Ye Zhong put his legs on the horse's belly and rushed towards it.
"Wan Sheng!" Tens of thousands of soldiers burst into earth-shattering shouts and rushed towards Kangping City. (To be continued)
