Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 326 Firecrackers
Hearing what the old beggar said, Zhu Xiuyuan felt relieved...

The brutal siege battle continued, and the shouts of killing were loud.

In the Yan army's position, the war drums were thunderous and kept ringing.

That was an order urging the Yan army to move forward bravely.

The rear of the Yan army.

"Your Highness, please see that the Jiangzhou defenders have not used the fierce fire oil in large quantities. Haha, this means that Jiangzhou's fierce fire oil is about to run out!" the chief strategist said with a smile.

Zhao Pu, the fourth prince of Yan Kingdom, nodded.

He said solemnly: "Jiangzhou's fierce fire oil burned our army's siege rams and siege ladders, but they could not burn all the trebuchets and siege ladders no matter what."

"Haha, I estimate that within half an hour, I, the Great Yan'erlang, will capture the entire Jiangzhou City!"

The chief counselor smiled and said: "Your Highness is wise. Although the Jiangzhou garrison is tenacious, it blocked our army for two days and injured thousands of my great Yan'erlang."

"Haha, but the city of Jiangzhou is broken, right in front of you. Haha, congratulations to your highness, congratulations to your highness, you are about to break the strong city of Jiangzhou."

"This small town in Jiangzhou is really not easy. Your Highness, conquering this one will be like conquering hundreds of other cities..."

The words of the chief counselor were very much in Zhao Pu's mind, and he laughed loudly.

Jiangzhou side.

Zhu Xiuyuan stood quietly on the city tower, staring at Dong Shuzhen and Xia Wu on the city wall.

Her two masters and servants joined forces, and they were indeed not afraid of the Yan army, killing several waves in succession...

After he stopped worrying about Dong Shuzhen, Zhu Xiuyuan was quietly planning in his heart.

It's time to use those bamboo tube firecrackers.

But the timing is still a little off.

On the battlefield, the loud shouts of killing continued.

Suddenly, the Yan army's war drums changed.

However, another group of troops rushed over to make up for the battle losses.

Zhu Xiuyuan's heart moved, and he thought the time had come.

So he waved his hand and ordered: "Send the order to the four city gates to use bamboo firecrackers immediately!"

"Order!"

After receiving the order, the messenger grabbed the rolling pin-like drumstick and beat the war drum in a unique rhythm.

Between the two city gates, there is the messenger who acts as a "relay".

When they heard the sound of the war drums, they immediately beat the drums and passed the order to the next city gate.

This method of taking over orders is very fast, and its principle is probably similar to that of beacon fire.

So shortly after Zhu Xiuyuan's order was issued, all the four city gates in Jiangzhou received Zhu Xiuyuan's order.

Yan army position.

Naturally, Zhao Pu also heard the sound of the drum, and couldn't help but wrinkled and asked: "What does the Jiangzhou defender mean?"

The chief counselor hesitated for a long time, and then said hesitantly: "Your Highness, my subordinates..."

At this moment, the chief counselor had not finished speaking.

Zhao Pu suddenly raised his hand holding the riding whip, pointed at Jiangzhou City, and shouted: "What are they holding in their hands?"

The chief counselor immediately stopped and looked intently.

But on the Jiangzhou city wall, although it was vaguely visible, it could be seen that the defenders on the city were holding something new.

Very small, it seems to be a long string, not thunder stones, not rolling logs, and it is impossible to be a fire oil urn and ash bottle.

Because that thing seemed to be very long, swaying, about three feet long, and it looked like...

Like a "chain"!
When Zhao Pu and his chief adviser were confused, they suddenly saw the defenders on the city wall moving.

Let's all throw down the long "chain".

That long "chain" seems to have a little spark...

"I'm afraid it's the Jiangzhou garrison's new city defense weapons."

Zhao Pu and his chief adviser all thought of it.

However, the two of them are not too worried. They have survived even Menghuoyou, so why are they worried that this "chain" won't work?
However, just as the two of them relaxed, they suddenly heard a loud noise in their ears.

They were crackling and dense. Perhaps because they were too dense, the loud noises had become one.

The momentum is like overwhelming mountains and seas, and the explosion is like thunder.

This sound is much louder and sharper than the sound of war drums.I want to pierce my eardrum!

At the same time, the two of them saw under the city wall——

Like an electric dragon rolling over.

There was a crackling, bright explosion, accompanied by bursts of smoke, this...

It was simply the thunder pool of the day!

It's too scary!
Moreover, under this continuous loud noise that doubled and doubled.

Amidst the roar like bombing a city.

The war horses at the rear of the Yan army were suddenly frightened, roaring and hooting wildly.

More than half of the horses turned around and ran away, already frightened.

Not only were the horses frightened, but the Yan army cavalry riding on the horses were also frightened.

Therefore, there was no immediate way to appease the war horse.

This resulted in a riot of war horses, all using their iron hooves and running wildly in the opposite direction.

Among the Yan army's cavalry, those who reacted quickly immediately calmed the horses and reined them in.

After all, war horses are war horses, and their "quality" is relatively high, and they "calm down" quickly.

But there were also the Yan army cavalry who couldn't react in time.

The horse immediately pushed him off his horse and landed on the ground. He was trampled by the escaping horse's iron hooves and was instantly turned into pulp...

"Call..."

Zhao Pu's surprise was truly extraordinary.

But after all, he is not an ordinary person and can react faster.

He immediately calmed down the horse and shouted orders to maintain order...

After a while of confusion, they finally stabilized their position.

At the same time, the overwhelming sound had stopped.

There was a roar in Zhao Pu's ears, and he glanced at his own cavalry from a high position.

My heart trembled suddenly.

Just now, he lost more than a third of his thousands of cavalry...

Zhao Pudun felt burned inside, and quickly turned his head to look in the direction of Jiangzhou City.

Looking at it this way, it's amazing.

I saw the Yan State soldiers closest to the city wall, standing there stupidly, as if their acupuncture points had been tapped.

Shaking his body, he seemed to have not yet realized what night it was.

However, the city wall did not stop for a moment, and there was a "storm and rain".

What kind of thunder, rocks, rolling wood, etc., are thrown down as if they don't need money.

In just one breath, most of the Yan troops were killed or injured as if their acupoints had been tapped.

On the contrary, some of the Yan troops behind fled.

Countless people were defeated, fell down, and were trampled on!

In addition, the Jiangzhou defenders continued to attack, further causing casualties to the Yan army...

It turned out that when Zhao Pu comforted the war horses, the Yan army on that battlefield, under Jiangzhou City, experienced a "dream-like" life and death experience.

Because the density of bamboo tube firecrackers is very high.

The defenders of the city were almost shoulder to shoulder, with a string of firecrackers in bamboo tubes in their hands, and they were lit and thrown into the city together.

The bamboo tube firecrackers are more than three feet long.

There are bamboo firecrackers hanging densely on it.

The sound of a single bamboo firecracker is already very loud.

So many put together, so densely packed, and lit at the same time...

So many firecrackers exploded at the same time, such momentum, such shock, such violence.

It is even scarier than the [-]-ring small firecrackers of later generations.

The real "bombing city"!
So many firecrackers landed on the ground and exploded at the same time. Strings of firecrackers were flying like fire dragons.
