After the abuse heroine returned, she exploded

Especially after seeing Xu Xu shoot an arrow at her.

She thought Cang Lan acquiesced.

Even if they rebelled and succeeded in ascending the throne, what does that have to do with her.

He didn't enjoy the glory and wealth, but in the end, he was killed as a prisoner.

She, Xu Yue, had been honorable for the first half of her life and did not allow herself to die in such a humiliating manner.

The yelling continued.

The soldiers on the tower were also roaring.

"Your crown prince is a mother-killer. How can you believe that he will treat you kindly after he succeeds in the rebellion. Our general is kind and wants to spare the life of the empress, but unexpectedly he wants to kill his mother himself!"

"If Lord Gu hadn't blocked that arrow just now, the Empress Dowager would have died just now! Think about it, don't you have a mother? No family? Is it worth fighting for such a person?"

···
Sure enough, within a short while, the enemy army was defeated.

Cang Lan gritted his teeth.

"withdraw!"

If you continue to fight, you will suffer heavy losses.

Xu Xu objected: "No way! Prince, we must take this place today, otherwise it will be delayed for another day..."

The prince interrupted Xu Xu's words with a little anger in his tone.

"Is it yours or mine?"

Cang Lan roared forward again: Say it again, withdraw the troops! "

"Yes!"

The drum sounded again, and the enemy retreated one after another.

Tie Xiu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the enemy retreat.

After all, there were only 1 Black Cloud Riders, and with the reinforcements sent by the royal family, there were only more than 4 in total.

They are now at the end of their rope.

If the reinforcements don't arrive in these two days...
I'm afraid the city won't be able to hold on.

Tie Xiu sighed lightly, cupped his fists to thank An Ning and Gu Qingzhao, and said, "Thank you both, if it wasn't for you today, I'm afraid this city would really be unable to hold on. Now it's the limit."

If no psychological tactics were used today, if Cang Lan insisted on attacking the city just now, no one would be able to stop him.

"Master Gu, how long will it take for General Qihu to arrive at the rear? If they attack the city again tomorrow..."

"Up to five days."

Tiexiu frowned.

five days
too long.

Tie Xiu gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I die, I will definitely defend this city!"

Gu Qing looked at An Ning in a daze, and asked aloud: "What's the matter, Aning? Don't worry, in five days, you will definitely guard."

Tonight, he was going to take people by surprise and set fire to the food and grass.

An Ning frowned, finally sighed softly and said to Tie Xiu: "Boss Tie, can you find some saltpeter?"

"Nitro?"

"Yes, with these, you can defend the city."

Although Tie Xiu was puzzled, he still believed in An Ning.

"Okay, I'll send someone to look for it right away."

An Ning's brows were still furrowed.

Once the production of explosives is started, it means that the era of cold weapons will be completely gone.

Daye will also become a favorite of other countries.

Gu Qingzhao raised his hand to stroke Ping Ning's brows, and he said softly:
"If you find it difficult, don't do it. I promise, the city will not be broken."

An Ning looked into Gu Qingzhao's eyes.

It is worry, but also distressed.

Such eyes that can't see to the bottom, but at this moment, they are all her figure.

An Ning shook her head and smiled.

"Even if you are [-]% sure, what about the remaining two floors?"

She knew Gu Qingzhao's plan, but this move also had certain risks.

"This time, let me protect you."

Gu Qingzhao smiled and said "Yes".

Immediately, a dark color flashed in his eyes, in fact, he was [-]% sure.

Looking at today's wind direction and the geographical location of Cang Lan, if it is taken by surprise, it will still take some time.

An Ning didn't know it, it's just that if you care about it, you will be chaotic.

The best way is to make gunpowder.

This can not only reduce its own casualties, but also deter the enemy.

Although gunpowder is a double-edged sword, as long as it is used well, it will also bring Daye to a higher level.

Tie Xiu moved quickly, and collected a lot of saltpeter in the afternoon.

An Ning spent the whole afternoon making gunpowder.

I chose some trustworthy soldiers together.

She still doesn't want too many people to know the process of making gunpowder, so as not to be used by those who want to.

By the morning of the second day, hundreds of points had been made.

The gunpowder produced by An Ning is not very powerful, it can only knock down three or four people at a time.

But enough to dissuade the enemy.

Sure enough, Cang Lan came again early the next morning with his troops, this time ready to win Linlan County.

Above and below the city tower, a dark crowd attacked.

Cang Lan saw An Ning on the tower, and deliberately shouted: "An Ning, surrender, as long as you are willing to surrender, when I ascend the throne in the future, I will make you a concubine."

A coldness flashed in Gu Qingzhao's eyes.

He took the arrow and put it on the neck of the abandoned man hanging on the city wall, and said to Cang Lan, "The traitor surrenders and spares your birth mother's life."

In an instant, Cang Lan's face was extremely ugly.

Last night, the queen mother was hung up in the city all night, and he tried to send someone to rescue the queen mother.

But Xu Xu refused to give in, saying that this was Gu Qingzhao's trick.

Hmph, he just wanted to give it a try, it would be best to save people, if not, it would be just a loss of some people.

What he does now, is always blocked by that old thing.

Xu Xu gave orders from the side at the moment: "Enter the palace!"

The sound of war drums sounded instantly on the battlefield.

But at this time, no one at the city gate came out to meet the enemy.

Just when everyone thought that there was no one in the city to defend the city, there was a sudden explosion.

"Bang bang bang!"

In an instant, screams sounded from the battlefield.

Cang Lan asked in shock: "What is this?"

A look of surprise also flashed in Xu Xu's eyes.

He had never seen anything that could blow people up.

Seeing that there are fewer and fewer people, that thing keeps throwing away.

"Xu Xiang, retreat, if you continue to fight like this, I'm afraid..."

Xu Xu said firmly: "No! You can't retreat! If you can't attack today, there will be no time. Qihu's army is already approaching the rear."

How could Cang Lan not know.

But looking at the enemy in front of them, there is no one left, and there are corpses everywhere on their side.

Xu Xu calmly said: "No matter what it is, it must be thrown away."

Suddenly a dynamite was thrown under Xu Xu's feet.

"Oh!"

Fortunately, the two reacted quickly and drove more in time.

But the clothes were still blown to pieces.

"Cough cough cough."

Wait until the smoke clears.

As soon as he looked up, he saw several explosives tied to bows and arrows on the tower, shooting at them.

"call out!"

"Oh!"

Blast one piece.

Cang Lan watched Xu Xu dodge the wound that was blown out of his body in a hurry, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Why not take advantage of this time to get rid of Xu Xu.

"call out!"

Another arrow, without explosives.

Cang Lan grabbed Xu Xu and pushed on the arrow.

"puff!"

Xu Xu spat out a mouthful of blood, and he looked at Cang Lan in disbelief.

idiot!

How can we still capture Kyoto if there is internal strife at this time.

If he had known this earlier, he should have killed the prince and let his son impersonate him.
