Chapter 705 Fierce Battle at Lang Son (Part 4) 1 Updates 1W[-]
With the support of superior artillery provided by Gao Pragmatism, the cleaning battle outside Lang Son unexpectedly reached a stalemate several times, which made Huang Zhiting realize that "the important town of Lang Son" is indeed not just a joke.

Since ancient times, the Central Plains dynasties have said that as long as one gram of Langshan is reached, it will sweep away thousands of troops in the south.But this was not only seen by the generals of the Central Plains Dynasty, but also by Annan himself.

Therefore, the defense line of Lang Son has always been the focus of their management. Even though Morton let the concentrated army go south this time, he almost emptied most of the northern line. However, for Lang Son, his deployment was relatively restrained. There are five thousand troops.

After Huang Zhiting's troops suffered losses in the cleaning battles outside Tongdang and Lang Son, the number of troops that can be used normally is only 2. Coupled with the continuous attack, even the wolf soldiers with extraordinary physical strength are now in a state of overdrawn and urgently needed rest.

Moreover, the tenacity of the Mo Dynasty defenders around Lang Son also exceeded her expectations. Therefore, it is impossible to say that it is absolutely certain to conquer Lang Son Fortress in one fell swoop, unless she is willing to pay thousands or even tens of thousands of casualties and attack desperately.

However, this is not realistic. If she loses half of the [-]-odd army here, what will happen next?If Mo Chao's army from the Southern Expedition came back victorious, even if he had advanced to Shenglong City, what awaited him would be a big defeat.

Although the artillerymen of the Gao family gave her a great surprise today, and made her have greater hopes for the infantry of the Gao family who attacked Shenglong City from the sea, after all, there are only 500 people left there. , Most of the light cannons were given to themselves. They only had a small amount of light cannons and a batch of heavy cannons to be used to bombard Thang Long City. Wouldn't it be that there were only more than 1 troops under Thang Long City? Can you take Thang Dragon City?Can it prevent the return of Mo Chaonan's army that may exist?

Huang Zhiting felt a headache.No wonder the court officers and soldiers like to fight with ten times as many troops. It turns out that the role of those cannon fodder is consumption!Especially in this kind of tough battle, it is the best decision to use cannon fodder to consume first, gradually accumulate advantages, and then send the main force to fight the overall situation at one stroke when the decisive victory is reached.

But it is useless to think about these now, the problem of Lang Son must be solved first.

Huang Hu stood in front of Huang Zhiting, thought for a while, and said, "Miss, why don't you... try the method that Gao Sengtai mentioned before?"

Huang Zhiting was slightly taken aback, and asked, "Did you bring that thing?"

"In Zhennanguan, there are more than 40 catties." Huang Hu scratched his head and said, "It sounds a little small, but if what Gao Press said before is true, then the more than 40 catties of gun cotton ’, should be enough to blow up a section of Lang Son City’s walls.”

"But don't forget his warning." Huang Zhiting hesitated, and said: "He said that this thing is very 'unstable', and sometimes it may explode when the weather is too hot. It is completely different from ordinary gunpowder, and its power is even more ordinary. More than ten times the gunpowder... Let's not blow up the walls of Lang Son, but kill all of our own people."

Huang Hu smiled wryly and said: "Miss, to tell you the truth, I always feel that Gao Sengtai's words... It's a little unbelievable. A pile of cotton wool can be so powerful?"

"I believe him." Huang Zhiting said without hesitation: "He said yes, so it must be possible."

The muscles on Huang Hu's face twitched, and he sighed in his heart: It's over, it's over, if this continues, will the Huang family's ancestral property be preserved?
Huang Zhiting didn't care about Huang Hu's expression, instead she thought carefully for a while before asking: "Did he say that the wetter the weather, the safer this thing is?"

Huang Hu nodded: "That's what Gao Presstai said, but he also said that if it's too wet, it won't work, it may affect the explosion."

Huang Zhiting let out a "hmm" and said: "Now the fog is thick, it should be the wet weather he said, and now it is transported from Zhennan Pass, as long as the journey goes smoothly, it can be delivered in one day... the Mojun stronghold on the road can ensure Has it all been cleaned up?"

As soon as Huang Hu heard this, he knew that the eldest lady had made up her mind, so she simply said: "It should be guaranteed. If the eldest lady is not at ease, I will go this trip myself and bring 500 people. Nothing will happen."

Huang Zhiting said decisively: "Okay, you go right away, I'm going to start digging tunnels here. I'll dig three tunnels here, and I'll make a temporary decision on which tunnel to put in."

"As ordered!"

After Huang Hu left, Huang Zhiting did not hesitate and sent people to start digging the tunnel.The chieftains didn't understand, and suggested to her that the defenders in Langshan City couldn't help but listen, and digging tunnels to attack the city might not be effective.

Huang Zhiting smiled and said nothing, just told them to dig according to the instructions, but pay attention to the other side digging through and destroying it with poisonous smoke, pouring water, etc. For this reason, the tunnel can even be dug a little deeper.

She really believed in Gao Yushi's words, and believed that the "gun cotton" was so powerful that even if she dug a little deeper, she would still be able to blow up the city wall according to the method Gao Yushi taught.

On the second day, Huang Hu came back smoothly. He carefully pointed to a carriage a mile away and told Huang Zhiting that all those things were in the carriage, and he didn't dare to approach it for safety.

Huang Zhiting had also been told repeatedly by Gao Yushi, so she didn't plan to go to see it, and assigned tasks directly.

Huang Hu took the order and found some of the most capable and stable subordinates to handle it.

At night, some wolf soldiers came to report that the tunnel had been dug. Lang Son City might think that the tunnel was dug too deep, and there was no movement until it reached the foot of the city wall, so no countermeasures were taken.

Huang Zhiting was overjoyed, and quickly asked Huang Hu to supervise the work in person.

On the morning of the second day, Huang Zhiting's army actually set up a Dharma platform to enshrine the god of the Supreme Lord.

The group of chieftains were puzzled, and were about to step forward to inquire, but saw that Huang Zhiting had already bathed and changed clothes, and said to them in a spirited manner: "Gao Zhantai expected that we would be sent to the city of Langshan, so I specially invited the old king to make a decree today. It will trigger the Nine Nether Yin Thunder, blowing down the city wall of Langshan, you wait and be silent, wait for me to send a letter written by the gods on the table to Laojun."

All the chieftains were stunned, looking at each other, not knowing whether to believe it or not.It stands to reason that this is too bizarre, but after thinking about it, they thought that since Gao Yantai was a Wenqu star, maybe he could really talk to Laojun?Anyway, there is no loss, so let's take a look.

So all the chieftains stood in awe, knelt three times and kowtowed nine times to the old emperor's throne.With a serious face, Huang Zhiting took a letter from someone who didn't know where it came from, walked up to the stage, lit it in front of everyone, put it in the incense burner, and said loudly: "I have sent the letter from the God of the Stage to Laojun, And wait for Laojun to lower his divine power!"

Everyone held their breath and focused their attention, all raised their heads and looked at the sky, waiting for the "divine power" of the Taishang Laojun.

Before they observed any abnormal celestial phenomena, they suddenly felt a sudden shock under their feet, and a muffled thunder surged from the soles of their feet with an earthquake-like feeling.

Everyone knelt down in fright, but they heard someone shouting: "Diao Nahei, the city wall of Lang Son has really collapsed!"

The chieftains were taken aback, and they all turned their heads to look, and they saw the ground cracking at the foot of the city wall of Lang Son City, as if a huge flower was about to bloom from the ground, even arching a large part of the city wall and then falling down, rumbling for a while. With a loud noise, a section of the city wall that was tens of feet long collapsed completely out of shape!

The chieftains had never seen such a scene before. They were afraid that the old man would cast too much spells and blow up his own side with the Nine Nether Thunder. They were so frightened that they kowtowed and shouted: "The old man has infinite powers, now the city wall of Langshan It's already collapsed, so please hurry up and collect the supernatural powers!"

Huang Hu almost laughed out loud, but he heard Huang Zhiting yell at him: "Huang Hu, you bring the elites of Siming Province, Huang Gongsheng's relics into the city, and let them pay for their merits. If you win this battle, I absolved them of their crimes, and no one has rewarded them with a tael of silver!"

Huang Hu put away his other thoughts, and shouted solemnly: "Huang Hu has an order!"
