Chapter 1379 Siege of Huanglong Mansion (Part )

Jin Wushu frowned and looked at the quarreling heads of various clans. These were the only Jurchen nobles left, and they controlled the last troops of the Jurchen tribes.

"Report, Sun Lei's imperial flag appears outside the city!"

A soldier hurriedly ran into the hall to report.

"Sun Lei!"

Upon hearing this name, the quarreling people instantly fell silent, and there was a dead silence in the entire hall.

"Sun Lei is here so soon?"

Wan Yanshou's face looked ugly. He originally thought that Sun Lei would not arrive for four or five days.

"Have all the defeated troops been dealt with?"

Mountain Lion Tuo couldn't believe it. From the front line to Huanglong Mansion, they dropped more than 400,000 defeated troops. Didn't these people block Sun Lei's footsteps?

"How to do?"

Everyone who was still arguing just now looked at Jin Wushu and the others. Now only Jin Wushu and Wanyan Shou were left in the Wanyan clan. Now the emperor was chosen from these two people.

"I'll go to the city first and take a look!"

Jin Wushu didn't know how to answer, so he could only lead people outside the palace, preparing to go to the city wall to see the situation.

"Do you have any idea?"

Wan Yanshou asked in a low voice as he followed Jin Wushu.

"What can I do? There are only 80,000 troops in the city now, and many of them are old and weak. How can we fight Sun Lei?"

Jin Wushu replied that for this battle, they had brought all the young men and women of Liaodong with them.

Jin Wushu and others climbed onto the city wall and looked at the huge "Monkey King" flag outside the city, with a little fear on their faces.

"Sun Lei is really here!"

Lian'er gritted his teeth and said that he was very unconvinced. They were defeated in an unclear manner. The victory was originally in their favor, but suddenly something happened to the Chinese army that Wanyan Wu was begging for, and they were defeated.

"There are about 100,000 troops! It's so fast!"

Mountain Lion Tuo said, now the entire Huanglong Mansion is besieged.

"The enemy is cutting down the trees and is preparing to attack the city!"

Wanyanshou pointed to the woods not far away, where many people were logging.

Seeing the enemy cutting down trees, the tribal leaders panicked.

"Don't be afraid. Huanglong Mansion is strong. We have a large army to defend the city. We have enough weapons, food and grass. We are not afraid of the enemy! We only need to hold on for three months. When the heavy snow comes, the enemy will retreat!"

Jin Wushu said to a group of leaders that he did not dare to go out of the city to fight, let alone talk about strategies to retreat from the enemy. He could only place his hope in the winter in Liaodong.

"winter?"

The leaders looked at the scorching sun above their heads. It was still midsummer, and winter was still a long way away.

"Don't worry, Huanglong Mansion is a fortified city. There will be no problem in holding on for three months!"

Wan Yanshou looked at the crowd and said, they personally supervised the construction of this city, and they know best how strong it is.

Everyone felt relieved after hearing this, and most of them also participated in the construction of Huanglong Mansion.

"Quickly arrange soldiers to prepare the equipment to defend the city. The enemy's artillery is heavy and it will not be easy to transport it. Otherwise, there would be no wood to build equipment now."

Jin Wushu looked at everyone and said, now we have to keep these people busy and not let them think wildly.

"We still have gunpowder in the city!"

Lian'er Xinshan looked at Jin Wushu and said, it is definitely not enough to rely on primitive equipment to defend the city. Gunpowder is a very good weapon to defend the city.

"Yes, we still have gunpowder, and there is no shortage of raw materials in the city. We can make more!"

Jin Wushu was overjoyed after hearing this. He had an idea when he thought of gunpowder. He could use the strength of Huanglong Mansion to strangle the enemy with gunpowder.

"Jin Wushu?"

Yue Fei, who was inspecting the front line, looked up and saw Jin Wushu and others at the top of Huanglong Mansion.

Yue Fei suddenly laughed and rode to the forefront of the military formation, three hundred steps away from Huanglong Mansion.

"Jin Wushu, why don't you come down and have a fight?"

Yue Fei shouted to Jin Wushu.

"Yue Fei, I will definitely kill you!"

Jin Wushu roared angrily.

"Haha, these words make my ears tingle! Do you only know how to talk?" Yue Fei laughed.

"Does anyone dare to come out?"

Yue Fei looked at the others and shouted, but no one spoke.

Jin Wushu stared intently at the shotgun on Yue Fei's waist. It was this weird firecracker that caught them off guard. Almost all of their most elite Jurchen soldiers died under this firecracker.

"We also have fire guns, but they are far less powerful than theirs!"

Wanyan Shou gritted his teeth and said, they also have firearms, but their power is not as powerful as the enemy's.

"Don't worry about Yue Fei, he just wants to trick us out! Don't be fooled!"

Jin Wushu said to everyone that they were guarding the city now. No matter how the enemy yelled and cursed, they would not go out.

Yue Fei saw that the enemies in the city were just looking at him, but no one spoke to him, and no one left the city.

"What a bunch of cowards!"

Yue Fei cursed secretly, there would be nothing he could do if the enemy didn't come out.

However, Yue Fei quickly picked up the shotgun on his waist and pointed it at the city wall.

"boom!"

Yue Fei shouted.

Jin Wushu and others did not expect Yue Fei to be like this. They were so frightened that they crouched down and hid behind the city wall without showing their heads. These "fire blunderbuss" had a great impact on their hearts.

"Ha ha!"

Yue Fei laughed and walked away. He didn't fire at all. The shotgun couldn't hit him at such a distance, and he wouldn't waste precious bullets.

"hateful!"

Only then did Jin Wushu and others realize that they had been tricked. Looking at Yue Fei's arrogant retreat, they could only beat the wall and roar.

"Your Majesty, this group of people is dead and heartbroken!"

Yue Fei looked at Sun Lei reporting.

"Well, they must be scared out of their wits. How dare they go out to fight now? Just wait!"

Sun Lei nodded.

"Your Majesty, although that tower truck is good, it may be a bit difficult to break through the city!"

Yue Fei looked at Sun Lei and said, the tower truck is just a way, but it is not 100% sure.

"Of course it's a bit difficult. The enemy will definitely defend the city to the death. The tower truck is only better than the ladder. In a real fight, the casualties will definitely be high."

Yue Fei said.

"Yes, this method won't work. The Jurchens are all good crossbowmen. With the city wall, the power of firearms is limited!"

Yue Fei said.

"Come with me!"

Sun Lei took Yue Fei to the rear military camp.

"Look at this!"

Sun Lei pointed to several huge boxes, each of which was big enough to hold several adults.

Yue Fei opened the box without any hesitation.

"cloth?"

Yue Fei touched the cloth in the box. The cloth was rough to the touch and tough at first glance.

"This thing is called a hot air balloon. It can carry people and supplies into the sky!"

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"Fly to the sky?"

Yue Fei looked at Sun Lei in disbelief. In his opinion, it was impossible for a person to fly without wings.

"It's not flying into the sky, it's floating in the air. What can I tell you...just like a Kongming Lantern!"

Sun Lei thought about it and made a very vivid metaphor.

"Kongming Lantern!"

Yue Fei's eyes widened and he realized instantly. If a small Kongming Lantern can fly into the sky, it is reasonable to build a huge Kongming Lantern to carry people up to the sky.
