Chapter 409 Stone Rain

After this drastic change, the warehouse had already turned into a pot of porridge. The soldiers of the Liao Kingdom were shocked and ran around. They had been frightened by the explosion like a thunderbolt from the blue!

Have they ever experienced such a battle before?

However, during this moment, many thoughts emerged in General Nalan's mind, such as:
"Where did this divine thunder come from? Isn't the divine thunder unique to Nanchen?"

"Who used divine thunder to attack us? Could it be... Liang Jun?! But they are as stupid as pigs, how could they have discovered us? It's impossible..."

"not good!"

The many thoughts that emerged in his mind had not yet been reasonably explained. General Nalan seemed to think of something out of an instinct.

He screamed strangely, turned his head suddenly, and looked at the floor of the warehouse. To be precise, it was the passage on the ground that led to the bottom.

It doesn't matter whether the enemy is Liang Jun or not.

The important thing is that since the enemy can use divine thunder to bombard them, is it possible... to bury the divine thunder underground?
If a mine explodes, it will definitely affect the entrance to the cave. Once the entrance is damaged or even submerged by sand... wouldn't the soldiers below be buried alive?

General Nalan's thoughts were racing, and he immediately shouted to the two lieutenants beside him: "Quickly order the men below to come up immediately, don't stay, go quickly!"

After giving the order, regardless of whether the lieutenants heard it or not, he pushed the lieutenant's shoulder hard, and then quickly approached the gap as big as a carriage.

As a general commanding operations, he must understand the current situation clearly...

He stuck his head out and saw beams of dazzling firelight shooting from the warehouses on both sides of the Yongji Canal. They were special arrows with packages as big as a human head tied to them.

He could tell at a glance that what was contained in those packages was the terrifying divine thunder!
Specially made arrows were shot with divine lightning. Some landed in the river near the island, some landed a few feet in front of the warehouse on the island, and some directly hit the wall of the warehouse...

Boom boom boom!

Boom boom boom!

The "rockets" that emitted dazzling light were fired from all directions, one after another. Although not all of them hit the warehouse on the island, those that did hit really caused the Liao army to suffer a heavy loss.

In fact, it would be fine for the Liao army to hide underneath, but they were planning to act tonight, and a large part of the armed Liao army gathered in the warehouse.

This is nothing less than a living target for the Rockets.

"Damn!"

General Nalan's heart was filled with fear and his eyes were about to burst. He watched helplessly as one by one the Liao soldiers were bombed, crushed to death, and burned to death, but he could do nothing.

The enemy is attacking from a distance, but they have no reciprocal means.

However, some Liao troops regained their composure and used the bows and arrows they had just prepared to fight back.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that their bows and arrows are obviously useless...

The only solution for now is to wait for the enemy's "rockets" to run out, and at the same time wait for the large underground troops to gather, and then bravely attack the opponent's camp.

But when General Nalan looked back, he saw that the exit of the cave was empty, and not a single person emerged.

"Come out quickly!"

He yelled anxiously, and with a swish sound he drew his sword in his hand, preparing to go down and call for someone in person. If anyone tried to stop him, he would kill the person with a knife.

During this period, he was anxious, because the rumbling noise around him never stopped, and the violent bombing caused the ground to tremble slightly.

He was really afraid that the tunnel would be affected by this and collapse...

In fact, there is a secret passage leading outside the city.

But the secret passage is too narrow, only one person can pass through, and once the armor is put on and completed, it will not be able to pass through the secret passage and will be stuck in it.

Why not make the secret tunnel wider?

Because after all, this is a secret passage, only used for transmitting messages, and it is not easy to dig.

Furthermore, the Liao troops lurking in Youzhou City regarded death as if they were home, and they never thought of escaping out of the city through a secret passage.

That road doesn't work.

If the Liao troops in the cave want to come up, they must pass through the passage on the warehouse floor.

General Nalan rushed to the tunnel with a knife in hand. Just as he was about to enter, he suddenly saw a crowd of people in the tunnel. The Liao troops were already withdrawing upwards.

"Okay, okay, faster!"

General Nalan was overjoyed and told them to avoid the "rockets" flying from a distance.

In the blink of an eye, more than thirty Liao troops had set foot on the ground, but General Nalan still thought it was too slow and kept urging them.

At this time, several dull sounds came from the ground, and as the ground shook violently, gravel rolled down one after another in the passage leading to the cave, and smoke and dust filled the sky.

Even the torches stuck in the walls fell off.

Seeing that this passage is about to collapse.

"No!"

General Nalan was shocked. Did what he had been worried about for a long time finally happen?

There are still thousands of soldiers below who have not come out.

Is it all going to be buried below?

General Nalan's eyes were about to burst.

But there was nothing he could do.

The next moment, the muffled thunder coming from the underground suddenly stopped, and the ground stopped shaking. Although some gravel rolled down the tunnel, it held up and did not collapse.

"Come out quickly, come out quickly!"

General Nalan was overjoyed.

He didn't know why the enemy planted so few mines, or they didn't work. He didn't have time to think about this problem, and he repeatedly urged the Liao troops to drill out of the underground passage.

In fact, the tactic of laying landmines is expected to blow up all underground entrances and exits.

But what happened tonight was so sudden that we had to act in advance. If we waited until the day after tomorrow, I believe Su Xian and the others would be able to make all preparations...

When the landmines ceased, the "rockets" flying from both sides of the Yongji Canal gradually became sparse, far less dense than before, and finally stopped completely, with no more "rockets" flying.

"Great!"

General Nalan was overjoyed and shouted with a ferocious face: "God is helping me! When my sons from Daliao gather together, they will surely wipe out all the enemy forces!"

Soon, about two-thirds of the Liao army in the cave had crawled out.

They were ready, armor and weapons in hand.

They were not prepared to wait for the Liao army behind them, but decided to act first and wipe out the enemy troops in the dark first.

As for whether he could capture Youzhou City by surprise, General Nalan remained optimistic.

Because he knew that the [-] Liang troops stationed in the west of the city could not enter the city easily, otherwise they would be beheaded.

If they move faster, after taking care of the enemy forces on the shore, and then quickly attack the city gates on all sides of Youzhou, they might be able to capture the entire city.

"Sons of Daliao, listen to my orders and kill them!"

On the small island, General Nalan raised his arms, drew his long sword, and rushed to the front.

They would first take a boat, cross the Yongji Canal, board the other side, and then kill the enemies hiding in the dark.

However, when the Liao troops rushed towards the ships on the shore with roars, bursts of piercing sounds suddenly came from the sky. The soldiers were surprised and couldn't help but look up.

When they looked up, the Liao soldiers couldn't help but stare wide-eyed, open their mouths, stop all movements, and froze in place.

What did they see?
I saw stones as big as millstones, whizzing down from the sky, so fast that people couldn't react or dodge.

A few breaths later, a "stone rain" began to fall near the island.

Bang bang bang!

Accompanied by the screams of the Liao soldiers, they woke up and fled in all directions, but many of them were smashed into pulp by huge stones.
