Midnight.
People are accustomed to working at sunrise and resting at sunset. Therefore, for most ordinary people, they have become accustomed to this schedule and sleep longer every day.
At this hour of deep sleep, few people were doing anything, and it was also very quiet.
The same is true even if the two sides are at war.
However, that very night, on the side of the Great Zhou, the soldiers inside Tianmen Pass gathered together. They planned to raid the enemy camp tonight and give them a surprise.
After the army assembled and reorganized their troops, they set off directly.
After leaving the city gate, they did not choose to pick up torches, but instead there was a huge crowd. It should be said that the weather tonight was more favorable for them.
There was no moon, not even any stars. A cloudy sky is already pitch black, and without any light it is basically impossible to see anything clearly.
Therefore, the army's movement was not discovered by the enemy in time, not to mention that they were moving very slowly. However, as long as the troops were sent out, there would be some shock, and the soldiers in Yangcheng soon discovered the clues.
Above the border city of Yangcheng.
The patrolling soldiers heard the noise and looked into the distance, but because there was no light at all, they could only see dark heads moving forward.
Only then did they react and quickly told the general guarding the city about it.
After learning about this, the generals defending the city were terrified and quickly sent someone to convey the news to the general, asking them to respond as soon as possible!
At the same time, the soldiers on the city wall also began to get nervous. They were also worried about why the enemy suddenly launched a surprise attack at this time, and they didn’t know how many people were coming!
When Lu Yun was halfway there, he almost realized that the other party might have seen the army.
After all, more than 100,000 people attacked together! This was quite a big commotion.
Encountering this situation, he simply ordered people to light torches so that he could see clearly. Under the cover of darkness, their army began to advance rapidly. At the same time, they had also prepared siege weapons, catapults!
Before, they put huge stones on the catapult to achieve the purpose of attacking the city, but this time they did not put stones, but things similar to quilts.
There is a very long fuse on it. After it is ignited, it is directly thrown onto the city wall using the huge power of the catapult.
A total of more than a dozen catapults delivered the explosive pack, and many people were looking forward to whether this thing could have an impact on the enemy.
At this time, Liang Jing was sitting on the horse, looking at Lu Yun in confusion and asked.
"Is this explosive pack of yours really useful? The more I look at it, the more it looks like a quilt."
Lu Yun explained calmly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. There will be absolutely no problem!"
While they were talking, the explosive packs were thrown onto the city wall. Before they could say anything, the explosive packs exploded, producing a huge bang and sparks.
The power generated by the explosive pack instantly caused the city wall to be littered with corpses, and many people did not react in time.
The soldiers on the city walls were all dumbfounded!
Some people were blown to pieces, some died on the spot, and some were barely alive. The general defending the city was almost injured.
At this moment he was completely panicked. What the hell was this thing?
How can it be so powerful?
It must be said that the power of Lu Yun's bomb is really not that great, it can only be used to catch the opponent by surprise.
He just added some iron sheets in it. If he didn't, the power would be gone.
"ah?"
Liang Jing was looking forward to what was happening on the city wall, but ended up seeing this scene!
The originally quiet city wall suddenly turned into a hell on earth at this moment, with flames everywhere.
This scene saw them and also made them react!
The explosives made by Eunuch Lu are indeed very powerful, it is simply a powerful weapon!
Lu Yundao was very confident and looked very pleased with himself. He looked at Liang Jing standing beside him and explained, "What do you think, Your Majesty? Are my explosives particularly powerful?"
Liang Jing couldn't help but applaud. "That's amazing! It's incredible! I never thought that an ordinary piece of linen could become a weapon for siege and a treasure for killing enemies!"
"Of course, but your majesty, there are even more cruel ones!"
Lu Yun waved his hand and shouted, "Crossbowmen, prepare!"
"Tie the bamboo tubes in your hands up, light them, and immediately shoot them towards the enemy's wall!"
"Do you understand?"
"yes!"
It is indeed difficult to shoot arrows from the bottom up. If you get closer, there is still a chance, so they must maximize the range of the bow and arrow!
After tying the bamboo tube, it will be affected a little, but the impact is not very big.
After lighting the bamboo tubes, they immediately shot out a rain of arrows into the sky, as if it were a sea of fire!
The dense array of flaming arrows stunned the soldiers on the city wall, their eyes wide open.
We had just experienced the attack of the explosive packs and had just replenished our soldiers, but now here come these arrows flying all over the sky!
By the time they reacted, the arrows had missed their target.
But the arrow feathers around their bodies suddenly exploded, and some of the small stones and iron pieces inside scratched their eyes, making them blind.
The power of the explosion turned them into bloody messes in an instant, and some of them didn't even have time to react and were killed by the explosives on the spot!
At this moment, they seemed to see a messenger from hell. It was so terrible and scary!
What kind of weapon was this? They had never seen it before. They were completely panicked at this moment and had no intention of fighting anymore. The commander defending the city was also injured!
The battle hasn't even started yet, but they've already fallen into a disadvantage and have no chance at all. What kind of situation is this?
They had never encountered such a scene before!
Looking at the scene happening on their city wall, Liang Jing couldn't help but praise it.
"Xiao Yunzi! I didn't expect this bamboo tube to be so powerful. It exploded like a firework, yet it had such tremendous power. It's so strong! I really admire it!"
"Can we set up the ladders and attack now?"
Lu Yun shook his head and said, "We can't rush this matter. We have to wait until their army reaches the city wall again.
After we scare the living daylights out of them, we can set up ladders and launch a real siege!"
"After all, they are still very brave and haven't been completely frightened. They are just the original soldiers on the city wall, not the majority of the main force!"
