Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 678: Living is always better than dying——

Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, run, run—

When such a sentence came out, Cao Zhang was stunned. His original analysis of the situation and his imagination of the three armies meeting in Luoyang came to an abrupt end.

The deputy generals of the Wei army here, such as Qianzhao and Yanrou... you look at me and I look at you, and they are a little confused.

I feel like what the messenger said...is somewhat unreasonable.

Did they destroy the city? A three-pronged siege of Luoyang? What are you running for? What is this?

Moreover, in order to prevent flying balls... Cao Zhang can be said to have one guard post every hundred steps. Wei soldiers were watching from all tall buildings in Hanoi, and even the city gates did not dare to be closed tightly, just to prevent the enemy from air raids and to withdraw immediately. Hanoi city.

The mistakes of the past cannot be made again——

But, at least for now, there is no horn sound of enemy air strikes and everything is calm. Why run at this time?
Cao Zhang's face turned pale, he was silent for a moment, and then regained his composure.

His eyes couldn't help but darken, revealing a hint of King Kong's angry glare.

This can be regarded as excusing Zhang Liao——

These are the details. As a mature commander, from these details... you can roughly calculate the combat effectiveness of the Guan family army, which will be of great benefit to subsequent offensive and defensive battles.

"Boom, boom, boom--"

But to explode from the ground, this is unheard of and unseen——

But the messenger was still lying on the ground, shivering as if he had seen a ghost.

Accompanying this fall was the sound of "Boom...Boom--".

Even the strongest city wall of Hanoi City was shattered like a hammer from the gods...

"boom--"

Why did it smell a bit turbulent just now?

Bricks and stones flew away, dust and smoke rose everywhere. Towering buildings trembled in the shock wave of the explosion, and then collapsed like giants that had lost their support. The dust and rubble raised almost covered the entire sky.

Continuous explosions sounded...and then countless wailing sounds.

Cao Zhang asked: "Where did they encounter the ambush? How many men did Guan Yu bring? How long did it take to lose these 10,000 soldiers?"

But just as Cao Zhang's words came out.

After all, Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang, who was so powerful in China, had lost to him many times, so there was nothing to be ashamed of.

But...but it exploded? What does this mean?
He had only heard of the phenomenon of "furnaces exploding" when Taoist priests were refining alchemy, with people and the furnace torn to pieces...

Did you think the whole army was wiped out? Ten thousand people? Isn’t it just 10,000 people? What are you afraid of? They attacked the city and lost seven thousand people?
Ten thousand people are just a small fight, no pain or itch, but their three-pronged army totals 200,000 people? Luoyang only has 60,000 to 70,000 at best, which is just a small defeat. The advantage lies with me——

"boom--"

Don't wait for Cao Zhang to open his mouth.

On the contrary, when he said this, everyone's hanging hearts were relieved.

"Ten...ten thousand..." the messenger stumbled back.

Cao Zhang's face looked much better than before, and he cheered up a bit.

Just behind Cao Zhang, the government office he was in suddenly exploded. Stones and trees shattered, scattering all over the place. Bricks and stones were scattered, dust and smoke were everywhere, and the fire reflected half of the sky red.

Yan Rou guessed: "It seems that General Zhang Liao was attacked by Guan Yunchang... However, to be able to make General Zhang Liao say 'run quickly'... the loss must have been extremely heavy, right? As expected, Guan Yu's target was Zhang Liao General, this also shows that... General Zhang Liao makes him quite afraid!"

And the fire after the explosion had already begun to spread in the city.

The moon rises above my brow, this should have been a peaceful and peaceful night, but because of this inexplicable explosion, it is suddenly filled with wails and despair.

"Third Young Master, be careful..." Qianzhao knocked Cao Zhang down...

Cao Zhang felt a thump in his heart and hurriedly led Yan Rou, Qian Zhao, and a group of deputy generals, civil and military, out of the office.

Who would have thought that the messenger said in a panic, "The ambush...can't be called an ambush, it was outside the Hulao Pass, and...the Han army didn't know what kind of magic they used, but...it suddenly exploded from the ground." , more than 10,000 people...all disappeared overnight, overnight——"

Explode? All gone overnight?
Cao Zhang was a little confused, and Yan Rou and Qianzhao were also a little confused. They knew that Guan Lin was good at playing with fire and was another "fire god" after Zhou Yu. They also knew that his methods of playing with fire include throwing them from the sky and smashing them with weapons. Yes, some powder was used to burn it, but... Cao Zhang and the Wei army paid special attention to these...

Cao Zhang nodded as if he suddenly understood, and followed Yan Rou's words and asked: "Let me hear, how many people did General Wenyuan lose? It's not like all the 80,000 troops are dead!"

The messenger was still talking, but with a "pop", Cao Zhang slapped him on the cheek, "What the hell are you talking about? How brave are you? You dare to talk nonsense to this general and disturb the morale of the army. Come on, pull him out." …Beheaded——”

"Rumble--"

"this…"

This…

"Boom——"

Those lieutenants, civil and military officers, and soldiers who were still in the government office and had not yet withdrawn... except for the heart-rending wails of "Ah", there was no sound overnight. Life and death... were only separated by this moment.

And following this sound, the messenger immediately peed, and the unknown liquid "sizzled" out along his crotch, just like... the huge fear buried in his heart came, it came, it came again.

"It was an explosion... all at once, all the military formations and shield formations were blown up. More than ten thousand soldiers were blown into the sky. When they fell, each one was in pieces..."

He saw the fire, saw hundreds and thousands of soldiers being blown away...

Because the government office of Hanoi City was at a high place, from a bird's eye view... Cao Zhang saw that in the city... a large number of originally good-looking buildings suddenly exploded.

The explosion continues, as if it is endless and will never stop.

One hundred thousand Wei troops...

Nearly 100,000 Wei troops!

They were caught off guard by the sudden explosion.

Their faces, which were originally extremely resolute because of their victory... were now filled with fear and confusion.

Some soldiers tried to organize effective resistance, but the explosions and collapses drowned their orders and shouts in the chaos. They could not form an effective formation at all, let alone... they didn't know where these explosions came from. Coming?
The originally strict and well-trained Wei army collapsed in an instant.

It became a group of panicked refugees.

The soldiers fled in all directions, and the armors collided with each other in panic, making a harsh metallic sound.

Some people were blown up into the sky and shattered into pieces;

Some people were pinned down by collapsed buildings;

Some people were trampling and pushing in the chaos, and even tried to escape from this hell at all costs, and wailed and wailed one after another;

However, no matter how hard they try, the shadow of death follows them.

Splattering masonry, burning flames, billowing smoke, and the astonishing destructive power of the explosion are all ruthless killers, taking away one living life after another.

In this apocalyptic scene, the soldiers' escape seemed to be a cruel death race.

Their heavy and rapid footsteps were drowned out by the sound of the explosions, emphasizing that in despair they discovered that no matter where they fled, they could not escape this devastating disaster.

Each and every one of them, in the end... they could only fall prey to death.

Oh my god?

God!

Climbing up from the ground, the disgraced Cao Zhang stared at all this in stunned silence.

In the past, the Jingzhou Army descended from the sky, but this time... this time they emerged from the ground. He looked back to find the messenger who came here to deliver the news and whom he was scolding just now, but... the government office behind him collapsed and had become... It's a ruin. Where are there any living things in it?
It’s a mess…

It's all chaos.

The power of the explosion caused chaos throughout the city. Not only people fled in panic, but also trampled on each other.

Those horses...yes, half of the 100,000 troops brought by Cao Zhang were cavalry. The 50,000 horses were frightened by the explosion and had already been like wild horses running wild, running around like headless flies.

In fact, the number of Wei soldiers who were trampled to death by horses was even greater - "Run quickly...run outside the city..."

The soldiers wailed and fled towards the city gate desperately. In the daytime... they still vowed to win the first battle and defeat the Jingzhou Army. Their feats such as this made them forgetful.

But now...

A large number of soldiers crowded at the city gate, but at this moment...at the city gate...

"Boom, boom--"

A new round of explosions occurred at the Sifang City Gate, and immediately, the Wei troops who had fled here fell in pieces, like harvested wheat!
Only then did some people realize...running would only hasten their death.

"Get down...get down..."

"Don't run away, get down -"

In disasters, people... often burst out with wisdom beyond themselves, just like these cries.

Without this cry, the Wei army... might have been like headless flies, stumbling around and eventually perishing.

however…

The soldiers of the Wei army could lie down, but the horses would never stop. Tens of thousands of unbridled horses... They sprinted back and forth, mercilessly trampling on the lives of their masters!

...

After the explosion, raging fires ignited in Hanoi City. The strong winds swayed the fires and kept spitting out flames. The buildings that were blown apart but not blown up also began to burn.

The ashes after the flames burned fell like rain. This ashes were a thin layer covering those lying on the ground, living and not alive, bombed to death, burned to death, and trampled by horses. On the bodies of the dead Wei soldiers.

In fact, the explosion did not last long, only half an hour, but it had already consumed the total number of explosive packets produced by Jiangling Mianshui Villa and Jiangxia Refinery for more than three months!

It was also in this half hour that more than half of the Wei troops were killed, blown up, burned to death, and trampled to death...

Even among the 30,000 to 40,000 people who were alive, most of them were injured... They were all crouching in front of their feet, not daring to move a step!

horrible…

terrible--

...

Zhu Ling, Zhu Shu and his son who were guarding outside the city, and Hou Yin, the leader of the Wancheng Army, looked at the Hanoi City that had been reduced to ruins for half an hour with great astonishment.

They couldn't help but take a breath...

Speaking of which, they have witnessed big scenes, such as the beacon fire in Fancheng, the ecstasy arrow in Wancheng, many... they have experienced it.

But even so, compared with the sudden explosion from the ground, the whole city turned into a Taoist alchemy furnace... those are all insignificant!

Zhu Ling couldn't help but gasp for air...

His son Zhu Shu seemed to understand his father's mood and couldn't help but sigh: "Father must feel lucky..."

"Alas..." With a long exhale, Zhu Ling shook his head, nodded again, and said what was in his heart, "Actually... we know best how we surrendered. To put it mildly, we were forced to surrender." Forced to surrender..."

Having said this, Zhu Ling raised his head and looked at the ruins of Hanoi City, and continued to sigh: "Even if we were forced to surrender, we are undoubtedly lucky. At least compared to the Wei soldiers who were bombed to death in Hanoi City... we are too Lucky you!”

Zhu Ling's words seemed to be just the beginning, but his words ended abruptly... What else could he say? Everything is self-explanatory——

Hou Yin, the former Nanyang governor, was a little pitiful. He seemed not to have listened to Zhu Ling and Zhu Shu's words and just sighed: "It doesn't matter whether it is a Wei army or a Han army, but they are all Han after all... Why do Han people kill each other? Han people Why hurt each other?"

In fact, Hou Yin was grateful for the identity of these Wei soldiers.

Before supporting the battlefield in the Central Plains, they were also the protectors of the Han Dynasty's border defense. They were brave men who fought against the powerful Xianbei and never let the foreigners take a step even though the Central Plains was torn apart.

But...the battlefield is always cruel!
Why do they have completely different positions?

"That's why... unification is needed——"

Zhu Shu was young, but his thinking was more agile. He tried to explain to Hou Yin: "If Emperor Qin hadn't wiped out Liuhe, most of China today would be fighting on its own like Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Xiongnu? At that time? How many Han, Chu, Yan, Wei, and Zhao people were killed by Qin Nu? Could it be that...are these people not compatriots?"

Having said this, Zhu Shu paused, "As long as there is a war, there will be bloodshed. Even Master Yunqi, he has never been a good person. He is just using his method... to complete the unification as soon as possible, and to build the three prosperous men as soon as possible. To put an end to this chaotic world, from this perspective, killing people now...is actually for saving people in the future!"

"Is this the Emperor of Qin?" Hou Yin sighed again, but also turned the topic to Guan Lin, "But after this explosion, everyone in the Wei army will be in danger and unable to fight. When the story of this battle is spread, Open, unified... it should be soon!"

Yes…

If the previous repeated crossbows, eight-niu crossbows, side carriages, and even flying balls... and even Lu Gong's carriages, etc., were all just to deter Cao Wei, then now... when this explosive pack is revealed, the "ordnance" of this kind The crushing was enough to make Wei lose all confidence and motivation to fight for hegemony.

This is a problem they... absolutely cannot solve——

"Master Yun Qi said..." Zhu Ling didn't dare to speak alone, "Punch away to prevent others from coming. This punch... is quite hard!"

Let’s discuss this honestly…

"Da da da…"

But when the sound of war horses was heard, it turned out that it was Tian Yu's soldiers and horses coming to the rescue.

Because they were all on the outskirts of Hanoi City, Tian Yu's scouts easily discovered the troops of Hou Yin and Zhu Ling's father and son...

"Are you going to strangle my warriors in the Wei Dynasty?"

Tian Yu drove his horse and pointed the whip at Zhu Ling and Hou Yin.

It seems that, in his opinion, Hanoi City is in such a miserable state, and the Han troops in front of them only need to take advantage of the situation to attack, and then...the entire 100,000 Wei troops will be finished!

Of course, even if they don't attack, Tian Yu doesn't think that the Wei army in Hanoi City can still do well!

It was completely different from Tian Yu's idea. Hou Yin smiled and pointed at the city, "We have no intention of attacking. Of course, if you insist on giving us a fight, we are happy to accompany you!"

Both sides have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. The Han army is in great momentum and the Wei army is in low morale. In a field battle at this time...even the brave cavalry in the north of the Wei army may not be able to gain an advantage.

"Your Excellency, you mean that you won't stop me from entering the city to save people?"

Tian Yu's voice softened a little.

"Excuse me -" Hou Yin waved his hand, but his eyes were squinted as usual, looking like he was watching the excitement.

But Zhu Ling opened his mouth and said: "Guo Rang, we are all former colleagues. I would like to advise you, don't save people, and don't resist anymore. You are no match for Young Master Yun Qi -"

Speaking of this, Zhu Lingxin said with emotion: "Living is always better than dying..."

"Humph…"

How could Tian Yu hear this at this time? He waved his hand and ordered: "Save people——"

Because he was afraid of the Han army here, Tian Yu only sent 5,000 troops into the city, but just before arriving at the Hanoi city gate.

"Boom... boom--"

There was an explosion, and then hundreds of soldiers in the front row were blown into the sky and shattered into pieces.

"you…"

Seeing this scene, Tian Yu stared at Zhu Ling and Hou Yin in shock and anger, "You're bluffing us, right?"

Hou Yin glared back at Tian Yu angrily, as if to say, I just lied to you, what can I do?

Zhu Ling, on the other hand, warmly reminded: "I just said, don't save people, don't resist, you are no match for Mr. Yun Qi. Now you can't enter Hanoi City, and the people inside can't get out." ——”

Killing people and destroying their hearts…

These words are simply murderous and heartbreaking——
