Chapter 143: The Fall of Wulan City
Chapter 143: The Fall of Wulan City
Xie Beiyu had also noticed something was wrong at this time.
Xie Beiheng stopped himself from diverting water for several days, but he just didn't attack the city.
He had weapons that could blow up the city gate, but he never used them.
impossible!
Unless... he no longer has that kind of weapon in his hands!
Thinking of this, Xie Beiyu's heart was shocked and he was extremely excited.
That’s right, the Zhenbei Army doesn’t have that kind of weapons, and they are waiting for weapons to be delivered from the rear.
Realizing this, Xie Beiyu quickly suppressed the excitement in his heart. If the Zhenbei Army did not have weapons to blow up the city gates, then it would be impossible for them to capture Wulan City in a short period of time.
I had been thinking about how to defend the city, but now I have to think quickly and carefully about how to design a countermeasure against the Zhenbei Army before their weapons arrive.
Just thinking about this...
Suddenly, a soldier rushed in from outside the door and reported in panic: "General, it's bad, the Zhenbei Army is coming!"
Xie Beiyu widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
Weapons arrived?
He immediately rode his horse and galloped towards the city gate.
When Xie Beiyu hurried to the city, he saw the mighty Zhenbei Army already lined up at the foot of the city, and Xie Beiheng, wearing silver armor and holding a spear, sat high on his horse in a defiant manner.
Xie Beiyu's gaze stayed on Xie Beiheng for only a moment, then he quickly turned away and began to scan the Zhenbei Army rapidly.
It was not until I looked back and forth many times and was sure that there were no torches, braziers, or anything else with sparks that I finally let out a sigh of relief.
It is impossible to start a fire slowly after arriving at the battlefield. If there is no fire, it means that the weapons have not arrived yet.
So, today, Xie Beiheng will not be able to capture the Ulan City.
Xie Beiyu was secretly rejoicing.
Xie Beiheng and Xie Qinchuan have already started discussing who will kill Xie Beiyu today.
"Heng'er, I'm going to kill him myself, so don't argue with me."
Xie Beiheng looked embarrassed. "Father, I understand how you feel, but Xie Beiyu's martial arts skills are indeed very high, and I am worried about you."
Xie Qinchuan was extremely angry and gritted his teeth and said, "Then you catch him. If I don't kill him myself, I will be furious."
Xie Beiheng also knew that for his father, this was not only a matter of face and dignity, but also a betrayal. The son he had raised for more than 20 years was betrayed by a spy from the enemy country.
He nodded and said, "If I can capture him alive, I will bring him to you for your punishment. If not, I will have no choice but to kill him first."
After saying this, he curled his lips and said, "But no matter what, Xie Beiyu, you will definitely die today!"
After saying this, he waved his hand and said, "Bring the bow and arrow!"
"Yes, General." Xue Cangwei on the side immediately replied.
After saying that, he immediately jumped off his horse, took the bow from the horse's back and handed it to Xie Beiheng, then took out an arrow from the quiver.
When Xie Beiyu saw this scene from the city wall, his face changed drastically.
Impossible, there is no fire...
Before he could think deeply, he saw the soldier took out something from his arms and ignited the arrow in an instant.
Xie Beiyu was horrified, no, no!!
He immediately gave a loud order: "Everyone, guard the city gate for this general, and don't let them break in."
Xie Beiheng drew his bow and aimed the tip of the arrow at the gunpowder that had been buried under the city gate without any hesitation.
"call out--"
"boom--"
With a deafening sound, the city gate was broken.
However, the Zhenbei Army did not rush to the city gate immediately. When the smoke cleared, the city gate was found to be densely packed with Beirong Army, each holding a weapon and ready for battle.
Xie Beiheng sneered.
"Xu Chong!"
"Yes, General!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Chong immediately spurred his horse and galloped towards the city gate.
Upon seeing this, the Beirong soldiers in the city tightened their weapons, ready to fight the enemy at any time.
However, Xu Chong stopped about 50 meters away from the city gate, then quickly took out a bundle of gunpowder and shouted, "General." After that, he threw the gunpowder in his hand forcefully at the Beirong army in the city.
Xie Beiheng quickly took the second rocket, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's, aiming at the gunpowder thrown by Xu Chong.
There was another loud noise.
The Beirong army inside the city gate fell down, and bursts of screams were heard in the billowing smoke.
There wasn't much gunpowder, as it had to be saved for blowing up the city gates. Moreover, if too much was thrown and it didn't explode immediately, the Beirong people would pick it up and research it, with disastrous consequences. So only one bundle could be thrown.
Xie Beiheng looked at the bloody mess in front of the city, and then looked at the Beirong army in the back who were frightened and pale.
Oh, one bundle is enough! !
"Soldiers, charge!" Xie Beiheng waved his arms.
Immediately, 200,000 Zhenbei troops rushed into Ulan City, and an overwhelming battle began.
