Horse on the World

Chapter 747 Shocked
"Be careful, there is a very powerful hidden weapon tied to the other party's carriage, and even the person. Just ignite it with fire, and a violent explosion will occur. This is how Bie Yunjian must have collapsed a section of the wall. On this road, once the opponent is cornered, he will detonate this hidden weapon on his body and die with the enemy." Zhou Yu said to the general beside him, "Let the soldiers shoot with arrows and throw spears, kill people first and then kill them." near!"

"Yes, Master Zhou!" The general gasped after hearing Zhou Yu's words, and after giving orders to the soldiers, he turned to Zhou Yu and said, "Master Zhou, what is this thing? Have you heard it?"

Zhou Yu shook his head with a gloomy face, "I've never seen it before. The last time I heard Mr. Zhong said that Shang Haibo was attacked by this kind of thing on the way back. With Yuan Fang's ability, both of them were injured. Don’t worry about others, this is a new weapon that Dingzhou just invented.”

While speaking, the carriage in front was covered by arrows and spears, the horse pulling the carriage was shot like a stab, fell to the ground, and the carriage was overturned, but everyone including Zhou Yu Staying far away from the carriage, quietly watching the carriage.

There was singing in the carriage, the singing was low, but passionate, and there was a faint sound of gold and iron horses.

"This is the military song of Dingzhou!" The officer explained to Zhou Yu in a low voice.

After a military song was sung, bursts of wild laughter came from inside the carriage. A man in black covered in blood struggled to get out of the carriage. Bing, "What's the matter, Ningzhou brats, you're afraid, you dare not come up, come on, if you have the guts, come and give grandpa a knife!"

The Ningzhou soldiers were silent. Although their eyes were spitting fire, no one stepped forward.

The man in black looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, "Such a group of idiots dare to make an enemy of me in Dingzhou. My lord will kill you all sooner or later."

A Ningzhou military officer couldn't bear this kind of insult. He put his legs between the horse's belly and wanted to step forward. Zhou Yu grabbed him, "Why should you be angry with a dying man? Come here and send him an arrow." on the road."

Immediately, several bows were lifted up on both sides, and with a few swishing sounds, several long arrows flew out in the air, hitting the chest and abdomen of the man in black, interrupting the man in black's wild laughter, and he fell on his back.At the same time as it fell down, the entire carriage exploded with a bang. Although he had been mentally prepared to block himself tightly with a shield in his hand, there were still bursts of exclamations from the army formation.

Apparently, the man had set the thing on fire when he climbed out of the car.

"Let's go, this carriage is also fake, it's really not here!" Zhou Yu was a little frustrated.

That night, the people and officials in Ningzhou City could not sleep all night. The chaotic sound of horseshoes, shouts of killing, and thunderous thunder resounded in the city from time to time. Only then did it quiet down.The Wolf Cave troops led by Zhou Yu and the city guards who heard the news caught up with all the carriages they could see, but without exception, these carriages and the people on the carriages all adopted the same method at the last moment , Not a single life was left for them.

"Really good tricks!" Zhong Ziqi couldn't see any joy on his face, and he didn't blame his dejected subordinates too much, "Such tricks, such careful arrangements, such brave attacks, it seems that the The fox came to Ningzhou City in person, very good, Zhou Yu, it doesn’t matter if we lose Li Zonghua, anyway, he is tasteless to us, and it’s a pity to discard it, like chicken ribs. If we can catch the fox’s tail, then It's a big profit, search Ningzhou City for me, and dig three feet to find her for me."

Zhou Yu was taken aback, "My lord, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Ningzhou City, including floating population, at least a million, how to check?"

Zhong Ziqi said grimly: "Do you need me to teach you? The point is these migrants, and those who have settled down in Ningzhou City for the past five or six years. Tell all the ghosts and snakes in Ningzhou to come out and help. , their benefits are indispensable, and if we can’t find them, we must use them to take the blame and give Ningzhou people an explanation.”

Nodding knowingly, "I see, my lord."

Zhong Ziqi squatted in front of a wrecked carriage, carefully holding the wrecked wagon, stretching out his fingers to play with the fragments of corpses on the ground, "What a powerful hidden weapon!" he murmured , "What the hell is this?"

A fast horse galloped towards him. Zhong Ziqi looked back and stood up. He recognized the man as the guard in front of King Ning. It seemed that King Ning was angry.

The guard galloped over, got off his horse a few steps in front of Zhong Ziqi, clasped his fists and said, "Lord Zhong, Your Highness King Ning welcomes you!"

King Ning was in an extremely bad mood. Last night, there was a rumbling sound after a while, the chaotic sound of horseshoes in the street, and the loud shouts of killing. Everyone knew that there was a big commotion in Ningzhou City.

King Ning felt that his face was completely lost yesterday.Because in the past few days, it was King Ning who summoned Lu Fengchun, Zeng Yifan and some important generals under his command to discuss the issue of attacking Weizhou. , It was tantamount to slapping him hard on the face, embarrassing him to the extreme, this morning, as soon as Lu Zeng and others appeared, they asked about this matter, which made him feel hotter.

Ningzhou is his old lair, he actually let his opponent come and go like no one, and made a fuss in the middle of the night, and the news that he has not captured the enemy must be nothing.

Seeing Zhong Ziqi walk in, King Ning's face was as dark as water, "Ziqi, what's going on?"

Zhong Ziqi saluted King Ning first, and then said: "The Dingzhou Supervisory Court has kidnapped Li Zonghua."

King Ning raised his eyebrows suddenly, "Li Zonghua was taken away? Isn't he locked up in a wolf den?"

Zhong Ziqi nodded, "Originally they couldn't escape, they were already entangled in the wolf's lair, but no one would have imagined that they actually broke down the wall of the wolf's lair, and then escaped from there Yes. Your Highness, Dingzhou has a terrifying sharp weapon in his hands, which cannot be stopped by manpower."

King Ning's expression gradually became serious. He paid more attention to Zhong Ziqi's last words than Li Zonghua's being kidnapped.

"What is that thing, was the sharp weapon you mentioned last night that sounded like a thunderbolt?"

"Yes!" Zhong Ziqi nodded, "At present, we don't know what kind of thing this is. According to Zhou Yu, it is ignited by fire, and then it makes a loud noise. The power of it is shocking."

"Search the whole city, no matter what, we must catch these Dingzhou assassins and torture them to find out the origin of this thing." King Ning clenched his hands tightly.

"I've already made arrangements." Zhong Ziqi said: "According to the traces of this shot, and Dingzhou's use of such a sharp weapon, it should be the fox that arrived. Others should not have such great authority."

King Ning sighed, "Catching Li Zonghua, now it seems that the gain outweighs the loss. This fox is much more difficult to deal with than Li Zonghua."

Zhong Ziqi couldn't help but feel a little hot and heartbeat, and was speechless for a while.

The Ningzhou posthouse, Zeng Yifan, Lu Fengchun and a group of generals under his command all gathered here. Last night, there was a lot of noise. Li Zonghua was robbed, and then a large number of Ningzhou soldiers were killed and wounded in the process of fleeing. Dingzhou was so unscrupulous, which made the two of them even more worried. Gathered troops in Weizhou and defeated the Dingzhou Tianfeng Group Army entrenched in Weizhou in one fell swoop.Right now, Li Qing is concentrating on using his rear troops in the Central Plains. Luoyang has involved nearly 20 troops from several legions under Li Qing's command. Fat.

The two armies of Zeng Yifan and Lu Fengchun combined have more than 10 people, and the [-] elite Southern Army led by Lanshan far surpassed Tian Feng Group in terms of strength. Everyone was full of confidence, so King Ning summoned them , and there is a deeper intention, which is to try to bridge the gap between the two armies, so that they can take care of each other in future battles, instead of fighting each other like before, or even sitting on the mountain and watching tigers fight, gloating, and instead Lu Zeng and Lu Zeng also realized that if they don't twist together, the powerful Dingzhou army will eat them up one by one sooner or later. It can be said that King Ning's meeting was successful and achieved his expected goal, but The commotion last night gave everyone a new understanding of Dingzhou's strength.

Zeng Yifan was worried, looked at several confidant generals, and said: "It has been found out, Dingzhou used a new type of weapon yesterday, just dozens of people turned Ningzhou upside down, and Li Zonghua who was locked in the wolf's lair Robbed."

"Young Marshal, it's none of our business to snatch Li Zonghua away, but if Dingzhou spreads this weapon to the entire army, we will have no chance of winning. In the battle of Weizhou, you need to be careful, Young Marshal!" The famous general said.

Zeng Yifan let out a hey voice, "Whenever there is a new weapon in Dingzhou, it is always tested in the Statistics Department first, and then spread to the whole army. Now the Statistics Department is using this weapon for the first time. It will take quite a while, everyone, the more this is the case, the more urgent the battle of Weizhou will be. If this weapon is used on a large scale in the entire army, it will be our end. Therefore, the decisive battle with Li Qing will be If we don't defeat Li Qing's Dingzhou army within one or two years, our end will be near."

"We don't have to be King Ning's pawns!" Another person whispered.

With a bang, Zeng Yifan slapped his palm on the table, stared at the man, and said: "Wrong, now we are not being someone's pawns, but fighting for our survival. Don't forget, the battle of Liaoshen , It was our defection that caused Li Qing to suffer heavy losses. On the banks of the Tuojiang River, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Ningzhou Army were buried here. There is no other way to clean up the deep feud between us and Dingzhou except with blood. Therefore In the next Weizhou battle, we must work together with the Lu army and the Southern army to defeat Tian Feng, and then drive straight from Luzhou to Li Qing's lair. Only in this way can we hope to survive. Do you hear clearly? ?”

"Listen clearly!" Several generals said awe-inspiringly.

"Guo Quan, did you hear that?" Zeng Yifan roared and looked at a general in the corner who was shaving his beard with a knife.

Guo Quan shook his hand, and the sharp knife immediately scratched a bloody gash on his face. With a hiss of pain, he jumped up from his seat and said loudly, "Young Marshal is the only one who will follow the lead. I will hit the young Marshal. I'll hit anyone!"

Zeng Yifan turned pale, looked at Guo Quan, and said: "Guo Quan, I know that you and Lu Jun have a deep blood feud, but the overall situation is more important, if the situation like last time happened to you again, I don't need others to do it, I will cut you first! "

"Don't dare, don't dare again!" Guo Quan said with a playful smile: "Young Marshal, Lao Guo still remembers that meal, and he will definitely work together with Lu Jun in the future."

"This is the best way. We are leaving the day after tomorrow. Today and tomorrow, everyone can relax. After I discuss the details with King Ning and Lu Fengchun, we will go back and prepare for the battle."

"Yes!" Hearing Zeng Yifan's words, everyone smiled happily. The prosperity of Ningzhou is not comparable to that of Liaoshen. Two days is enough for everyone to have a good time.
