Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 779 Disputes
Guo Huai took a closer look, alas, the soldiers were either dead or wounded, and the rest of them were frightened and unable to command at all. He still didn't understand how the Han army broke through the city. "Walk!"

He didn't dare to go to the north gate, opened the west gate and fled with [-] soldiers from the city. He was killed by Pei Feng on the way and lost most of them. In the end, he fled to Qiao County with only Zhang Hu and Baiqi.

Zhou Cang broke through the fortified city of Shouchun in just one day, creating another miracle.Less than 5000 of the [-] dead soldiers survived, no more than [-] soldiers were lost, and nearly [-] were captured, which can be called a great victory.The Han army was not too excited, they still had lingering fears.

Receiving surrendered soldiers, treating the wounded, rebuilding the city walls, and many other things after the war.

"Uncle, Pound was found." Norman reported.

When Zhou Cang rushed over, the generals were forming a group, and Ma Yunlu had tears in his eyes: "Ling Ming, are you still not surrendering?"

There was still a huge boulder on Pound's body, and he vomited blood but refused to be removed. "Yun Lu, you and I are the masters, don't mention the word surrender." Pang De said sadly: "I am already a useless person..."

Ma Yunlu shouted: "If you don't surrender, you won't surrender. There are good doctors in the army, so you won't become a useless person." After saying that, he bent down and lifted the stone. Zhou Cang had no time to stop him, but he was dying when he heard Pang De yell. died.

Ma Yunlu was too reckless, before he understood where Pound's injury and pressure were, he did it easily, but he didn't know how to link other heavy objects to kill Pound.Everyone knew it in their hearts and didn't say anything. They moved the stones away in a hurry to reveal Pound's body. One leg went to nowhere. It is estimated that the lumbar spine had been broken long ago.

Zhou Cang sighed softly: "Pang Lingming, you are also a warrior. Let's have a good burial."

On July [-]th, Zhou Cang raised his account in Shouchun, and found that the generals' expressions were not right. Ma Yunlu was sad, but why were the others?

"Dare to ask the Duke, what is it that broke the city yesterday?" Yu Jin asked cautiously.

"The name of this thing is gunpowder. It was improved by Master Liu Miao based on the alchemist's prescription. It is extremely powerful. It can cut through mountains and rocks like sand. It is indeed no small thing to use to attack cities."

Digging through mountains?God, the generals stared wide-eyed.Yu Jin clasped his fists and said, "So, with this thing in place, isn't it completely useless to fortify the city? Treat the city defense as nothing?" This is really unacceptable to Jin.

"You can't say that. Although gunpowder is powerful, it also has flaws, and it has its fatal shortcomings."

Yu Jin shook his head straight, with this power, any flaws are not a problem; what kind of troops to line up and what formation to set up when there is gunpowder, the more people there are, the greater the loss.

Dianman said angrily: "Pang De's bravery, I and Xingba know it, but without swords and guns, a few pawns can put the general to death, what's the use of us practicing martial arts?"

Dianman speaks straight, but expresses everyone's aspirations, not only martial arts, but even strategy seems to be less important, and everyone nods frequently.Zhou Cang didn't know how to explain it, the future is indeed like this. "You can't say that, martial arts are still fundamental..."

Before Zhou Cang could finish his sentence, the school came to report that Liu Miao had come in a hurry and wanted to see him.Liu Miao came, and everyone wanted to ask Liu Miao what was going on.

"Guogong..." Liu Miao looked very regretful, "I went to see Mr. Ge Jun, and after seeing it, he tried it again and was very annoyed."

Zhou Cang was stunned: "Speak slowly. It doesn't matter, everyone knows about gunpowder. Tell me the truth, why is Ge Jun angry?"

"Mr. Ge Jun said that gunpowder should not appear in the world! He said that gunpowder is so powerful that it is against the law of nature and even contrary to human harmony. All the gunpowder will be destroyed." Liu Miao said with a sad face.

Zhou Cang took a deep breath, he didn't expect that the technology madman would object.Duanmuling said: "Ge Jun's remarks are biased. Although gunpowder is fierce, it depends on how it is used. The Duke of the Kingdom is entrusted with the order of heaven to unify the world. Why can't it be used for stubborn people? It can reduce my losses, and it can also be used. Quickly destroy the enemy, the knife kills, and the arrow also kills, why can't gunpowder kill?"

It seems that what Duanmu Ling said makes sense.Thousands of arrows are fired, causing countless casualties; when the gunpowder explodes, the fly ash is annihilated, what is the difference between them.Is it because gunpowder is extremely lethal?
"Mr. Ge Jun also said that one should not only see the benefits of gunpowder. If someone gets it in the future, it will cause infinite harm. Don't be greedy for temporary benefits and harm generations to come."

Uh, Zhou Cang was a little speechless.Gan Ning sneered: "Zhou Lang Chibi burned tens of thousands of Cao's troops to death, so what should we say? Is it possible to put an end to the fire, and we will all eat cold food from now on?"

The generals began to discuss a lot, and some people also said that the Huainan epidemic caused more than hundreds of thousands of deaths. According to Duan Muling's words, the murderers were not knives, but people with knives.But some people think that this is not the same as a knife, if it is really captured by someone, it will be hard to guard against.

"There's nothing to fight for." Ma Yunlu, who hadn't spoken all this time, spoke surprisingly. Duanmuling wanted to hold her back, but she pushed her away. "It has been created, so there is nothing to say."

"Zifan, let Yunlu continue." Zhou Cang became interested.

"Since Liu Miao can find a way to make gunpowder from the alchemy formula, others will be able to make it sooner or later. If they can't make it today, they will make it tomorrow or the day after."

What he said made everyone dumbfounded, and the words were rough and reasonable, isn't that what happened.

"But, but Mr. Ge Jun said that if the Duke insists on not obeying, he will, he will resign and return to his hometown!" Liu Miao stammered anxiously. "Besides, he has to co-sign a letter with a group of people."

Hiss~ This is not easy to handle.Ge Jun is regarded as a scourge. Others can imagine that the great Confucianists who regard themselves as magnanimous and benevolent will definitely attack him together. I am afraid that it will not be a minority who abandon their official positions.Is it just a compromise to give up?Liu Miao was supposed to blame Liu Miao for his achievements, but Liu Miao became his own scapegoat.

Zhou Cang thought for a while and said to the generals: "Gunpowder is a top secret, so don't mention it again. As for why this battle was won, it is said that God bless the man, and the punishment from heaven will cause the city of Shouchun to collapse." Zhou Cang really couldn't think of anything else. A good rhetoric can only be said to be God's will, the more illusory it is, the more people are willing to believe it.

"Wen Ze captured Peijun, Zhan Fuli, and Shangcai Yougong, and now he captured Shouchun, beheaded the general Pang De, and captured more than [-] people. I will write to ask the governor of the Eastern Army and General Zhengdong to garrison Shouchun. Han Long is your lieutenant general."

"Xie Guogong!" Yu Jin didn't know that Zhou Cang was perfecting himself, so he could only be grateful.

"Cao Pi wants to go to Jingnan, and I have ordered Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Xin to receive them. I am worried about Jiangxia Wenpin. Xingba, you immediately go to Lujiang to garrison and provide them with support. Zhou Xin is in charge of the military at the beginning, and it is inevitable that he will not be enough. Zifan will serve as the assistant general of Zhennan. Zhou Xin will help." Zhou Cang made arrangements.

Three days later, on the third day of August, Zhou Cang rushed back to Xiangxian County with Dianman, Ma Yunlu and three thousand personal guards, leaving Qingqi and the Wei army prisoners to Yujin.

"Duke, how can Mr. Ge Jun reply?" Liu Miao asked on the way.
