Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 683
Looking at the Khitan warehouse that exploded and caught fire, Guo Tingwei even suspected for a moment that the Khitan had also produced black powder, which was far more powerful than their Thunderbolt from the Central Plains.

But Guo Tingwei quickly dismissed this idea: Khitan really wanted such a terrible firearm, why was it so forced to hide it as a treasure?
And he was keenly aware that the Khitan side also looked confused, and in this shocking explosion, most of the casualties were Khitan people.

Many Khitan people attributed the bombing to the "demon law" of the Southern Dynasty.

After all, not long ago, Nanchao cast a demonic spell on the sky...

The "power" of the demon law made the Khitan people fear.

In fact, it was Jiang Weizhi, the surprise attack team sent by Kang Zaiyu, that caused all this.

Luo Youdu has the internal response of Yi Shenzheng in the city.

Yi Shenzheng, the inspector, didn't have much power. The so-called inspection meant that each of the major parties in the Khitan temple sent one person to supervise each other.

Because of the emergency, Khitan unified strategic materials.If the materials are handed over to one person alone, it will definitely cause disputes.Therefore, the people in charge of the several major affairs each sent a person to monitor and supervise each other to avoid mischief.

Yi Shenzheng is just one of them.

But the inspector has the advantage of being able to know the storage quantity of strategic materials and the location of the warehouse.

Khitan North City has a large granary, two arsenals, and four warehouses.Four of the warehouses are located in the southeast, northwest, and four directions of Linhuang North City, near the gate of the city, so that they can be easily accessed by the soldiers defending the city.

The warehouse stores a variety of things, including strategic materials such as grain, kerosene, and equipment.

After Kang met again and ascended the city, he encountered stubborn resistance and was not sure whether he could capture the Gongchen Gate, so he sent Jiang Weizhi to attack Khitan's warehouse and burn the opponent's oil.

As the capital of Khitan, Linhuang Mansion has sufficient food and grass, but not many oil reserves.

The effect of oil on the defensive end is far better than that on offense, and destroying part of it can save the lives of many soldiers in the future.

Jiang Weizhi took advantage of the night to climb down the rope ladder from the city tower and smeared to the warehouse.

Khitan arranged tight guards near the warehouse. Jiang Weizhi, as the head of the Xuanwei army, was also a master who was not afraid of death. When the opportunity came, he rushed to the warehouse.

But Jiang Weizhi's purpose was too obvious. The Khitan guards focused on defending the oil warehouse, but they didn't let him succeed. Instead, they forced a group of them into the flour warehouse.

Since the Khitan captured the Bohai Kingdom and captured the Yanyun Sixteen States, they acquired a large number of fields and their food became more diversified.

Since the Tang Dynasty, the pasta culture has been extensively developed. Mantou, steamed stuffed buns, jiaozi, hubing and all kinds of noodles have entered the recipes of ordinary people. After the Khitan entered the Central Plains, they brought pasta to the north...

Noodles are loved by the people of Khitan for their simple production, strong sense of satiety, and easy preservation, and have long become one of the inseparable foods of Khitan.

Jiang Weizhi retreated to the flour warehouse, knowing that bad luck was coming. Looking at the hundreds of bags of flour, he suddenly thought of his unreliable brother-in-law Shen Zengqing.

Shen Zengqing was originally a field envoy of the Wuyue state, and had a bright future, but after Qian Hongchu returned to Dayu, he did not take the opportunity to climb up. Instead, he applied to learn magic arts and study gunpowder explosions, wasting his political future in vain.

The reason is that when he was serving as Wu Yue's envoy, one of his close friends and classmates who were in charge of managing the grain depot died inexplicably in an explosion, and he wanted to find out the reason.

Jiang Weizhi hated iron for being weak, if not for his wife's protection, he would have the urge to teach him a lesson.

When drinking in New Year's greetings the year before last, Jiang Weizhi asked about the past.

Shen Zengqing said a lot of things in a mess, but Jiang Weizhi didn't understand it. He just knew that what happened back then was an accident, because the shelf for storing flour fell into disrepair for a long time, causing the flour in the warehouse to fly all over the sky.

His friend thought that a thief had entered, so he went into the warehouse with a torch to investigate the situation.The result was an explosion...

What Jiang Weizhi heard was inexplicable, completely ignorant of the cause and effect.

On the contrary, Shen Zengqing made a messy talk, lamenting that the science in the Central Plains is profound and profound, but hating himself for being too old to learn many things, and saying that he must let his descendants learn arithmetic and science.

Flour and fire will explode!

Jiang Weizhi didn't believe it, and just thought it was his brother-in-law talking nonsense after drinking.

But at his stage, there were Khitan soldiers outside the warehouse, and Jiang Weizhi had no hope of survival.

He simply broke the jar and asked someone to light the flour with a torch.

A group of desperate warriors "stupidly" used fire to light flour.

As a result, one can imagine that burning the flour has no reaction other than cooking the flour.

Jiang Weizhi was so angry that he cursed, the bookworm's words were not credible at all.

At this time, wooden stakes have been found outside to hit the door, and the door is about to be smashed.

A soldier who knew his fate shouted: "Throw up all the flour, let our bloody urine mix with the dough, no matter what happens, we can't let the Khitan dogs eat this big white flour."

Jiang Weizhi was right when he thought about it, and asked the remaining soldiers to throw up all the flour in the warehouse...

Then the dust met an open flame and exploded earth-shatteringly.

The strong blast wave overturned dozens of surrounding houses, and also spread to the warehouse for storing kerosene.

Hundreds of cans of kerosene were ignited...

The flames spread like galloping horses, and dealt a heavy blow to Khitan.

Directly blowing up the surrounding Khitan soldiers who were still alive...

In fact, if Jiang Weizhi was alive, he would also be in a daze.

Guo Ting said that the reaction was not unpleasant. Although he didn't know the reason, he gave the order to attack immediately.

The mighty army in cold-forged armor marched forward in formation.

Compared with the Xuanwei Army, the combat style of the Xiongwu Army is completely different.

The Xuanwei army is united as one, brave and not afraid of death, from generals to soldiers, everyone is like a desperado.

The Xiongwu Army relies on the army to rule the roost.

Guo Ting said that as a descendant of Guo Ziyi, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, he has been a general for generations, and his family has the skills of commanding troops and the formation of formations handed down from his ancestors.

Guo Ting said that he had been exposed to these influences since he was a child, and he had a special experience in marching.

In the narrow aisle of the city wall, the mighty army formed a team of five. Some were in charge of attack, some were in charge of defense, some were holding shields, and some were holding spears. They had a clear division of labor and advanced step by step.

If Kang Zaiyu's Xuanwei army was a sledgehammer, it would be unbearable for the Khitan.

Then the Xiongwu army is a nail. They inserted the Khitan defenders into the cracks on the basis that the Xuanwei army had already knocked out the cracks, and continued to penetrate into them, continuously expanding their advantages.

Yelu'a was so anxious that he wanted to vomit blood, and shouted, "Where are the reinforcements? Why haven't they come yet!"

The soldiers he brought had been fighting Xuanwei's army for two hours, and their physical strength was exhausted.

Originally, the two troops were physically weak, and they could still rely on their will to fight back and forth.

But Guo Ting said that the situation changed immediately after Xiongwujun changed defense.

Facing the mighty army with plenty of physical strength and being good at cooperating with assaults, Yelu'a Meili's tired soldiers could not resist at all.

"Hold on!"

Yelua didn't care whether the reinforcements arrived or not, he shouted directly: "Reinforcements will arrive from time to time, as long as you persist for another quarter of an hour, the victory belongs to Daliao!"

He roared loudly, and personally led his personal guards to resist the attack of the Xiongwu army.

Guo Tingzhi did not rush to the front line. As a general, he knew when he should go to the front line and when he should command.

"Maoziying retired to rest, and Bingziying took over."

Guo Ting said that he has seen through the problem of the opponent's soldiers' lack of physical strength, and he rotated waves of attacks to let his strongest team fight against the enemy.

At the same time, it also allows the wounded soldiers on the front line to have time to bandage and breathe.

Inflict maximum casualties on the enemy at the minimum cost.

Guo Ting said that he loves soldiers like sons, and he faintly has the demeanor of Guo Linggong in the past.

"Commander, General Zhong's reinforcements are here!"

Yelua Meili only felt that his arms were as heavy as a thousand catties, and the enemy's armor was extremely defensive. His treasured sword was the Tang Hengdao, which could break armor, but it was still difficult to cause effective damage. His arms were as heavy as a thousand catties. Hearing the arrival of reinforcements, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Panting heavily, he retreated from the front line.

Before he had time to ask Zhong Weizhou why he came so late, he pointed to the front and said, "Hurry up, go to help, my people can't hold on anymore."

Zhong Weizhou wanted to say something, but when he saw Yelu'a was so tired that he was slumped on the ground, he gritted his teeth and led the messy soldiers up.

"what!"

Guo Tingzhi's spirit suddenly lifted, and he found that the Khitan soldiers were in a mess by themselves.

They were crowded together in the narrow corridor of the city wall...

Guo Ting said how shrewd he was, he immediately drew out his sword and shouted: "The enemy is defeated, follow me to crush them!"

It turned out that Zhao Kuangyi was completely defeated by the Khitan's elite in the first battle, but now, except for some old soldiers who fled back in all directions, [-]% of the soldiers are recruits.

Recruits are most afraid of chaos.

When recruiting troops in a temporary emergency, the recruits' movements must always be a little slower.

The terrible bombing of the warehouse made many recruits frightened and moved even more slowly.

Especially when they came to support, passing by the explosion site, the horrible scene made many people retreat in fright.

This is also the reason why Zhong Weizhou came late.

The clan soldiers brought by Yelua Meili had long been unable to hold on, and when they heard that the reinforcements had arrived, they began to retreat.

But the Khitan recruits did not catch up in time.

The two sides retreated and advanced without any cooperation.

Finally crowded together, forming a traffic jam scene.

Guo Ting said how could he let go of this opportunity, and personally led the team to crush it.

Yelua Meili thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, but before he could recover, he found that the broken soldiers kept coming towards him.

The line of defense he had worked so hard to support so far collapsed in an instant.

Yelua wanted to fight again when he was gone, but a group of strong and thick personal guards took his weapons and carried him off the tower.

Yelua screamed angrily, but to no avail.

Yelua Meili is young and vigorous, with the courage of blood.But his father, Yelu Haili, took everything lightly, and the Yaoyan clan had no successors.

Yelu Amili is the last hope. Before Yelu Amili goes to battle, Yelu Haili specially ordered the tribe's guards to force them to lead Yelu Amili to leave at all times.

With the withdrawal of Yelu Amili, Gongchenmen lost its last support.

Guo Ting said that with the help of Khitan recruits, he successfully occupied the tower, pulled up the Qianjin gate, and launched an attack towards the city gate.

As the thick gate slowly opened, Dang Jin, Zhang Qiong, and Li Hanchao, who had been waiting for a long time, led the cavalry and rushed into the city. door, dry door.

The Khitan's temporarily formed new recruits could not fight this kind of headwind at all.

Yelv Bishe had no choice but to retreat to the Khitan Imperial City.

Luo Youdu stood on the Gongchen Gate, admiring the rising sun.

Guo Tingzhi reported the key to victory to Luo Youdu on the sidelines. Hearing the performance of the Khitan recruits, he said: "This is the reason why soldiers are more expensive than elite soldiers. If untrained recruits do not have an outstanding general to lead them, they will be defeated. A true master of a hundred battles, but a bad thing."

Guo Ting said he agreed with it deeply, paused and said: "There is another strange thing, the inexplicable explosion of the Khitan warehouse is also the key to victory, but I don't know why."

Luo Youdu said: "It should be fire oil exploding!"

He couldn't feel the power of the explosion outside the city, but he had already learned about the mission of Jiang Weizhi's team from Kang Zaiyu, so he made a guess.

But soon Luo Youdu got the news that Jiang Weizhi's team was wiped out.

After taking control of Gongchenmen, Kang Zaiyu has arranged for people to search for Jiang Weizhi's whereabouts.

After learning the details from the survivors who survived by chance, Luo Youdu knew that the location of the explosion was the flour warehouse, not the fire oil depot.

Soldiers cleaning the battlefield have recovered dozens of charred corpses from the warehouse.

The dust exploded, and four words appeared in his mind.

Luo Youdu let people remember the achievements of Jiang Weizhi's team, and sighed softly.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Woohoo... Your Majesty..."

Luo Youdu's heart was a little heavy, but at this moment he heard a burst of crying in his ears.

Following the voice to find the reputation, it was Yi Shenzheng, the No. [-] spy of Dayu for three years and three years.

Luo Youdu couldn't help but laugh, this guy missed the opportunity to come back time and time again, this time he finally didn't miss it.

"Quickly, let Mr. Yi come over."

Because of Yi Shenzheng's abnormal behavior, he had already been stopped by the soldiers of the Imperial Battalion Division.

Yi Shenzheng came to the place in a bit of embarrassment, then knelt down on the ground, and said with a big salute: "Your Majesty, I have narrowly escaped death, and I finally see you again."

Luo Youdu still knows the situation of Yi Shenzheng very well. This guy is born to be an official, with good abilities, good at playing with the wind, talking to people and talking to ghosts.They were highly appreciated by Wang Zhao, Brother Yeluxiu, and Mr. Yelulong respectively, and they were all high society guests in Korea and Khitan.

Narrow escape?
What can I say! ! !

However, this guy did a good job in Korea and Khitan, especially when he discovered that Khitan has a navy, he directly rang the funeral bell for Khitan.

When it comes to credit, Yi Shenzheng's accumulated achievements over the years are no less than that of a general who has won a battle.

"Quick, get up!" Luo Youdu didn't expose it, but took Yi Shenzheng's hand, and said with emotion: "Mr. Yi has worked hard, I can stand on this tower today to enjoy the sunrise, and Mr. Yi has contributed a lot." !"

After Yi Shenzheng heard this, all the grievances disappeared, and he wiped his tears and said: "If I can serve Your Majesty, I will die without regret."
