Chapter 408 408. Min Rou Arrives
Unlike before, this time the army of the Liang country did not start attacking the city as soon as it arrived, but called for formations under the city.

Standing on the gate tower, Xing Ji watched the white-haired veteran riding forward from behind as the army of Liang State parted ways, his face darkened: it was actually Peng Wei!
Xuanbei City did not receive the news that Peng Wei was in Nanping City at all, and he had not shown his face before. Xing Ji felt that there was only one possibility. Peng Wei had just arrived and had to be forced to go to the battlefield. He, a veteran who has suffered serious injuries and is not in good health, will be a striker in the future?Situ Xie's sinister intentions are clearly revealed!

Xing Ji's father had a friendship with Peng Wei in the early years, although the two countries have different positions.When Peng Wei was seriously injured two years ago, it was also Su Liang and Gu Ling who rescued him, and it was he who helped restore the temporary peace between the two countries.

Xing Ji knew very well that Peng Wei did not come here voluntarily.The three grandparents of the Peng family had encountered many problems before, and they had already decided to disarm and live a peaceful life.

As Liang Guo's most heroic veteran with a lifetime of military exploits, as soon as Peng Wei reached the front of the army, the cheers of Liang Guo's army rang out.

Qiu Jing grew up in Xuanbei City and has been in the army for several years. He is very familiar with Peng Wei and knows that he has always had a good relationship with Qian Guo, so he naturally guessed what Situ Xie asked Peng Wei to do.

In this way, Qiu Jing, who was going to lead the army out of the city to fight, climbed up the tower, intending to discuss with Xing Ji how to deal with it.

As soon as Qiu Jing stood beside Xing Ji, he saw Peng Wei pointing his sword at him, "I am here on the emperor's order to kill the traitors! Qiu Jing, do you dare to fight against the city?"

As soon as this remark came out, the morale of the army of the Liang Kingdom, which had been unfavorable in attacking the city for half a month and whose resentment towards Qiu Jing had reached its peak, shouted again.

However, Xing Ji could tell that Peng Wei was short of energy, and his exhaustion could not be concealed in his voice.

Not to mention that Peng Wei is old and in poor health and must have traveled day and night without taking a good rest, even when Peng Wei was in the best state of his life, in terms of martial arts, he was no match for Qiu Jing at all.

Xing Ji and Qiu Jing looked at each other, they both knew what Situ Xie wanted to do without saying anything.

If Qiu Jing didn't dare to fight, or gave in to Peng Wei, but couldn't bear to kill him even though he was much stronger than him, it would make Qian Guo think that he was showing mercy to Peng Wei's subordinates and doubt his loyalty to Qian Guo.

And if Qiu Jing only regarded Peng Wei as an enemy general, fought normally, and cut him off his horse, this would further arouse the hatred of Liang Guo's army towards him and Qian Guo, and then they would attack Xuanbei City desperately.

In any case, Situ Xie was sure that the use of Peng Wei would be beneficial to the country of Liang.And Peng Wei's family was in Yao City, so he dared not disobey orders.As for whether he will die, Situ Xie doesn't care at all, and may even hope that he will die tragically under the city of Xuanbei, completing the most violent morale boost for the army of Liang.

"Master Hou, this..." Qiu Jing was really in a dilemma.This is wartime, so you can't be emotional, but he doesn't want to fight Peng Wei at all.

Because Qianguo did not respond after Peng Wei called out, Liangguo's army began to shout "traitor", and the voice became louder and louder.

Xing Ji turned his head, whispered a few words to Bai Yang, and Bai Yang left quickly.

A moment later, a sharp arrow pierced through the air and shot straight at the horse under Peng Wei!

The shouts of Liang Guo's army stopped abruptly. Peng Wei saw it and hid, but he didn't dodge.His horse fell to the ground with an arrow, and he himself fell to the ground, and was quickly lifted to the rear.

Xing Ji was condescending, and said in a loud voice, "What traitor? General Qiu just turned to the light! If anyone of you wants to become a member of the Qian Kingdom like General Qiu, you only need to lay down your weapons, and the Qian Kingdom can protect you well. At least, in the Qian Kingdom, you don't have to worry about whether you can't fill it up. It’s not like Liangguo, can you eat a full meal all year round? You came to fight Qianguo just to be full, since you can’t beat it, wouldn’t it be easier to join our Ganguo?”

What happened just now, and Xing Ji's shouting, instantly extinguished the high morale of Liangguo's army.On the Qianguo side, a burst of laughter erupted.

Qiu Jing sighed slightly.As for Peng Wei's fight, that's the only way to deal with it.Whether you fight or not, you will fall into Situ Xie's tricks. The best way is to ignore Peng Wei and never mention him.

At this time, Mo Yan, who was watching coldly behind the army of Liangguo, remained silent.He Wei snorted coldly, "What's the use of letting that trash surnamed Peng go up? It's just a waste of time."

Mo Yan shook his head, "It works, but it failed."

He Wei sneered, "Next, it's time to show Gan Guo some color."

"Explosives are limited, and they are not omnipotent. It is still not easy for Liangguo to win the battle." Mo Yan said coldly.

"But with the help of the master, it will be much easier." He Wei didn't just compliment Mo Yan, from his expression, he really thought so.

……

Seeing the trebuchet launched by Liangguo's army, Xing Ji did not let Qiu Jing lead his troops out of the city to fight again.Today you only need to defend the city.

He Wei sneered, "They really thought it was an ordinary stone."

Before the words were finished, a few black "stones" flew high from the trebuchet, and at the same time, a group of Liang country archers rushed to the front, and there was a soldier beside them, igniting their arrows.

At this time, Xing Ji had also ordered to release arrows.But when he saw the fires suddenly igniting in front of Liangguo's army, his expression changed abruptly. Thinking of the reminder from Su Liang's previous letter, he immediately shouted, "Withdraw! All withdraw!"

Qiu Jing raised his bow and arrow, stared at the archers below, and shot three of them to death.But it's a pity that there are too many people, and it is impossible to kill them all in a short while. It still can't stop the flames and the black "stones" from flying towards the walls and gates of Xuanbei City, and they are about to meet.

Qiu Jing threw the bow and arrow, Qi Jun had snatched the horn and blew it.

The soldiers inside the city gate were waiting for an order to leave the city, when they suddenly heard the sound of the retreat horn, they were stunned for a moment, then turned and ran back.

Everything happens very quickly.

When a black "stone" hit the city gate, a ball of flames chased after it, and there was a loud noise, which made people inside and outside the city feel their hearts tremble violently.

Following that, successive explosions sounded.

The solid north wall of Xuanbei City collapsed amidst the thick gunpowder smoke and the dim light of the fire.

When the city gate exploded, Xing Ji thought of the letter from Su Liang earlier. He jumped off the tower while shouting "Mo Yan", but he didn't know if Mo Yan was really there, and at this moment , Even if the throat is torn, the sound is completely covered by the huge explosion, and it cannot be heard by others at all.

Not to mention that the army of the Qian State was in chaos, even the army of the Liang State was dumbfounded: When did they have such powerful weapons?Why not take it out sooner?
Only a handful of people knew about it. Even the soldiers who used the trebuchet didn't know that the special "stone" they were assigned today was explosives, and the soldiers who shot the "rocket" just obeyed orders and didn't know which ball of fire was shot out. The power after that is actually so great.

But after the shock and consternation, the army of Qian State was afraid, but the army of Liang State quickly became excited, because the gate of Xuanbei City, which they hadn't breached for more than half a month, had already been broken!

Xing Ji ordered to continue to retreat.The explosives were thrown against the city gate and the city wall. As long as people evacuated from that area, it would be safe. There were no large-scale casualties for the time being, but they did not dare to use flesh and blood to contend with such weapons.

After Qiu Jing got off the tower, he disappeared. At this time, together with Qiu Cong, he drove a carriage and rushed towards the gate of the city against the direction of the army's retreat.In that car was the secret weapon sent by Su Liang earlier.I have explained that the other side doesn't need it, but my own side doesn't need it.Now that Liangguo doesn't talk about Wude, you don't have to be polite!
Excitement flashed in He Wei's eyes, and he wished he could rush forward and use explosives to blow open the gate of Xuanbei City.

And Peng Wei, who was protected and retreated to the rear after the fall, looked at the collapsed Xuanbei City Gate in disbelief. He turned his head and saw bloodthirsty light in the eyes of the soldiers beside him from the gunpowder smoke.

Peng Wei just arrived this morning, exhausted, and was taken hostage to the battlefield.He has no other choice, even if Gan Guo kills him, he will admit it.At that time, when the arrow came, he could have avoided it with his horse, but he did not dodge it seriously. He intentionally let his horse be shot, and then fell off, ending the fight.

And Peng Wei knew nothing about the fact that there was such a powerful explosive in the Liang army, and he couldn't understand why it was only used now.

There are fireworks and firecrackers in this world, and there have been things like explosives, but they are not very powerful, and they are not very useful on the battlefield.

There has never been a heart-pounding explosion like today.

Peng Wei originally thought that under the alliance between Qian Kingdom and Yan Kingdom, Liang Kingdom had no chance of winning, but now looking at the smoke of Xuanbei City, he felt uncertain again.

The sound of the explosion subsided, and a gust of wind blew in, and the collapsed walls of Xuanbei City and the city gate with a big gap gradually became clear.

And Liangguo's army couldn't hold back any longer, they just waited for an order to rush into the city and kill them heartily!
At this time, He Wei asked Mo Yan again, "Are you only using these today? Do you want to give them some more and blow up the soldiers of Qianguo?"

Mo Yan shook his head, "Let's see the situation and decide."

He Wei nodded, "Master is right. Explosives are used to attack the city, and people have to use them in battle, otherwise they will be used up soon."

At this time, the horn of Liangguo's attack sounded, and the vanguard shouted "kill", and rushed towards the gate of Xuanbei City that no longer existed.

However, just as they were about to reach the city gate, another loud noise blew up a wall in front of them that hadn't completely collapsed!

The smoke rose again, and the gravel flew around.The neighing sound of startled horses followed one after another, and the face of Liangguo Vanguard, who was originally standing upright and brandishing a sword, turned pale!
The army of Liang country rushing up from behind was also shocked by this sudden change, and they looked at each other in blank dismay: Isn't that their Liang country's secret weapon?What happened this last time?

The smile on He Wei's face froze, and he frowned fiercely, "There is also Qianguo?"

Mo Yan narrowed his eyes, "It's not surprising that Gu Ling is here. But, how did he know that Liangguo's army would use explosives? This must have been prepared in advance, but he didn't take it out until Liangguo used it. "

He Wei's heart skipped a beat, yes, how did Gu Ling know?Logically speaking, it is impossible for him and Su Liang to know about Xingluo Island and Mo Yan, let alone know that Mo Yan is helping Situ Xie!

Suddenly recalling what happened when he went to the capital of Qianguo to assassinate Duanmu Chen, He Wei blurted out, "Can he... be a prophet?"

Mo Yan's eyes narrowed, "Maybe."

"Then what should we do now?" He Wei asked with a frown as he watched the army of Liang Kingdom stop attacking.

"That's all the explosives I gave them today." Mo Yan shook his head, "Advance or retreat, it's up to them."

He Wei felt that under such circumstances, Liang Guo's army would not dare to enter Xuanbei City again.Who knows how much explosives await them?They are the attacking side, and Qianguo is the defending side, so Liangguo can blow up the city walls of Qianguo, and if Qianguo wants to bomb it, he directly bombs the people of Liangguo.

As the second explosion sounded at the gate of Xuanbei City, the retreat horns sounded quickly among Liang Guo's army.The main general is not Peng Wei, he is just a tool man who was forced to come here. In the current situation, it is very dangerous to rush into Xuanbei City, so we have to think long-term.

Liangguo's army receded like a tide.Their mood today can be described as ups and downs, the dawn of final victory has just appeared, and then disappeared.

Mo Yan took a deep look at the collapsed city wall of Xuanbei City, and left with He Wei.

……

Xuanbei City.

Qiu Jing threw dynamite twice, avoiding the Liang people.He's a soldier too, but doesn't like killing, especially destructive ones like this.

The fact that the city gate was blown up made the Qianguo army feel frustrated and dangerous, and Xing Ji ordered that all the people in Xuanbei City retreat to the rear today to avoid harming innocent people, and arranged for urgent repairs to the city wall.

Even if it is repaired and easily blown up, it still makes sense, at least it can use up some of the enemy's explosives.

The atmosphere in the chamber was very gloomy, this was the first time since the war started.

"How many more do we have?" Xing Ji asked Qiu Jing.

"Only one-tenth of it was used up today," Qiu Jing said.

Xing Ji sighed deeply, "We have come to this point after all. I don't know where that surnamed Mo is. How can I pass on Xiaoliang's words to him."

Qiu Cong said angrily, "In my opinion, if we can find him, we can just blow him up to pieces! It will be over once and for all! It's all his tricks!"

"That man is very dangerous. Xiaoliang told us not to contact him rashly." Xing Ji shook his head.If it was that simple, Su Liang and Gu Ling wouldn't be so afraid, they would remind them every time they write.

"I don't think their explosives are inexhaustible," Qi Jun said.

"But we still have to plan carefully how to fight next." Qiu Jing sighed slightly.The other party doesn't know their weapons, and they don't know the other party's, so there will be many unpredictable variables.

At this moment, Qi Jun heard a very familiar voice outside the meeting hall, "Get out of the way! This old man is the regent's master!"

Xing Ji was stunned for a moment, Qi Jun had already run out, his expression surprised, "Senior Mu, why are you here?"

Qiu Jing appeared behind Qi Jun, saw a young girl with an unfamiliar face behind Lao Mu, and called out with some uncertainty, "Su Liang?"

Min Rou quickly shook her head, "No, I'm not."

"Oh." Qiu Jing was a little embarrassed, turned around and went back.

Lao Mu brought Min Rou into the door, and introduced her to everyone, saying that she was the granddaughter of Min Lao Shangshu, and everyone was a little puzzled.

Afterwards, Lao Mu said his intention of coming, he wanted to send Min Rou to find Mo Yan in Nanping City, so as to prevent him from continuing to help Liangguo fight.

"My grandfather is Mo Yan's confidant, and he watched me grow up." Min Rou explained himself.

Xing Ji asked, "Do you know how to find him?"

Min Rou nodded, "I know how to find my grandfather, let's try."

"We're still late." Lao Mu said angrily, "Damn it!" They heard a loud noise before they entered Xuanbei City.

"Is she really trustworthy?" Qiu Jing asked Lao Mu in front of Min Rou.

Min Rou frowned, and Lao Mu snorted, "Anyway, Xiao Liang believes in her, whether you believe it or not!"

Qiu Jing: ...

"Get something to eat, I'm starving to death!" Lao Mu pulled Min Rou to sit down, "After eating, we'll go find that bastard surnamed Mo!"
