Chapter 390: Conquering Yundu City
"Your Highness, Yundu City has now been occupied by the Wolie Army, but if we want to go to the capital of Li Kingdom to provide assistance, this is the place we must pass through!" Zhou Yunxi's voice unconsciously rose a few degrees.
Amid the neighing of the horse, Zhao Haoxuan tightened the reins.
The tightly closed iron gate of the city wall and the flag of the Wo Lie Army fluttering on the city wall.
He drummed his knuckles on the hilt, leaving deep grooves between his brows.
Siege battles have always been extremely difficult, but in order to aid the Kingdom of Li and lift the siege of its capital, this battle must be fought.
"Pass the order and prepare to attack the city!"
At Zhao Haoxuan's command, the army brought from the capital quickly took action.
The soldiers pushed the catapults, and the muffled sound of the wooden wheels rolling over the earth pit suppressed their breathing.
Huge stones were loaded into the catapult's catapult's catapult, and the archers took their positions, drawing their bows and arrows.
At this moment, Wang Xinyao rode forward quickly on horseback: "Brother Zhao, our medical team will do their best to treat the wounded in the rear, but I have an idea..."
"Xinyao, do you have any better ideas for this siege?"
Wang Xinyao stroked the ring with her fingertips, thinking of the steel plate that exploded in the laboratory.
She took out a pack of explosives from the invisible ring space and handed it to Zhao Haoxuan.
"This thing is called a gunpowder bag. It is far more powerful than a huge rock. When it explodes, it makes a sound like thunder, hence the name 'Sky-shaking Thunder'. Its power is much stronger than that of a stone!
"Really?" Zhao Haoxuan took it and weighed the seemingly inconspicuous bag curiously.
I couldn't help but wonder, can this small bag really withstand the power of a huge rock?
But he always trusted Wang Xinyao, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Xinyao. But how do I use this?"
"Just tie them to the catapult stones!"
Wang Xinyao smiled and said, "I don't have many, only about a thousand, but taking the city gate is no problem! However, there's one thing you need to promise me!"
"Xinyao, just say it!" Zhao Haoxuan's face was full of love.
Wang Xinyao grabbed Zhao Haoxuan's reins and lowered her voice, "If we win this battle, all the gold in the Wo Lie people's warehouse must be given to me!"
In order to buy these explosives, she really spent all the gold in her space.
If she doesn't replenish her gold, if the bullets in her gun run out, she won't have money to buy more.
Zhao Haoxuan didn't know why Wang Xinyao wanted so much gold, but he guessed that it might be related to the strange things she provided.
However, since Xinyao is unwilling to say it, there must be a reason for not saying it.
"Haha, since Xinyao likes gold, in addition to the gold obtained from the Wo Lie army, after returning home this time, I will order people to collect all the gold in the country and give it to you to build a golden house for you..."
Zhao Haoxuan's voice was so loud that everyone present could hear it, as if he was swearing his unconditional love!
"Brother Zhao, you..." Wang Xinyao blushed, rubbed the ring with her fingertips, and her heart felt warm.
She caught a glimpse of Chen Liangxian's red ears as he turned away, and the hilt of the knife in Xie Xiaogang's hand rubbed against the corner of his eye...
As the battle was about to begin, there was a tender affection between their brows.
The tension brought by the battle disappeared at this moment.
Zhao Haoxuan's promise of a 'golden house' was still trembling in the wind, but Wang Xinyao suddenly pressed her throbbing temples.
The smell of gunpowder bags reminded her of the dusk at the blasting training ground before she crossed over, and also allowed her to see clearly the reflective arrowheads on the Japanese army's watchtower three meters away.
The Wo Lie army on the city wall had also discovered the flag of the Xia Kingdom.
Someone immediately shouted, "Xia people, if you move any further, we will not be polite!"
Before Wo Lierren finished speaking, he gave the order to shoot arrows, and in a moment, arrows rained down.
"Retreat!" With Zhao Haoxuan's order, everyone retreated from the enemy army's shooting range.
Even if it was a siege, he would not fight an unprepared battle. Since Xinyao said there was a way, there was no need to rush!
Accompanied by Zhao Haoxuan, Zhou Yunxi and others, Wang Xinyao came to the catapult and took out more than a thousand bags of explosives from the space.
She pulled out a dagger and cut the hemp rope, tied the explosive pack to the stones, and raised her voice to give orders.
"This item is called 'Sky-shaking Thunder' and requires a fire fuse."
As the rocks and explosives were lifted into the air, Wang Xinyao suddenly remembered the rabbit that had been killed by the shockwave during her drill...
"No matter how strong the city wall is, can it be stronger than the huge rocks that were blown into pieces earlier?"
The gunpowder bag had been tied to the catapult. Before the fuse of the explosive bag was lit, Wang Xinyao suddenly screamed.
"Wait! The angle of the Japanese arrow tower is wrong... They've hidden flaming oil behind the battlements!"
"What should we do?" Zhou Yunxi asked.
"Can the catapult be moved back a little?"
Zhou Yunxi pondered for a moment: "Adjusting the angle is no problem!"
"Okay, then move back as far as possible!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
When the catapults retreated, the siege officially began.
The explosive packs tied to the stones flew towards the city wall with a roar.
With deafening roars, the explosive packs hit the city wall.
A new recruit from the Xia Kingdom vomited due to tinnitus, and Wang Xinyao began to demonstrate: "It is better to cover your mouth and nose than your ears. Inhaling too much of this smoke is more poisonous than a sword."
The sudden attack left the Wo Lie army at a loss as to what to do, and shrill screams rang out one after another.
They had never seen such weapons before, and their howls were filled with despair.
Some people stood there in a daze, their faces covered in dust and blood, their eyes blank and lifeless; others hurriedly sought cover, knocking down the people next to them in the panic.
The flag was burned with black holes and was still emitting blue smoke. The entire team was in chaos, and the battlefield was filled with smoke.
The breath of death enveloped everyone on the city wall, and the sounds of wailing and cursing mixed together, creating a mess.
How many times can the flags on the city wall withstand the power of thunder?
The "explosives," a deadly weapon from another world, would eventually tear open the rift. The Wo Lie army's defensive fortifications instantly collapsed at that moment.
Taking advantage of this chaotic moment, Zhou Yunxi waved his hand and said, "Charge!"
The army rushed towards the city gate at a rapid speed.
Wang Xinyao stood at the back, watching the battle nervously.
As more explosive packs exploded on the city walls, the Japanese army's defense line gradually collapsed.
The guards at the city gate were stunned by the power of the explosives, and the Xia soldiers took the opportunity to set up ladders and climb up bravely.
Zhou Yunxi took the lead, wielding a long sword, and slashed at the Wo Lie army that tried to stop them at the city gate.
Xie Xiaogang, Zhou Shen, Xu Ping and others were not to be outdone. They knocked down a Japanese soldier with one sword.
The city wall was a sea of fire, and the Wo Lie army was in panic. Some of them jumped off the wall to escape.
The Xia soldiers engaged in fierce close combat with the Wo Lie army.
Zhao Haoxuan also led the cavalry into the city, advancing with unstoppable force.
Before long, the Wolie army was defeated and Yundu City was successfully recaptured.
Wang Xinyao walked quickly into the city and went straight to the treasury and government offices in the city to search for gold. Zhao Haoxuan immediately followed her, fearing that she would bump into something.
