From being a cult leader to becoming an emperor, there are many things that Zhang Wuji is not comfortable saying.
Fortunately, Zhou Zhiruo and Yu Fei took on all the things that Zhang Wuji was not convenient to say openly.
Zhou Zhiruo was still afraid that Zhang Wuji would be unhappy, but how could Zhang Wuji be unhappy?
…
Inside the Yuan army camp, Wang Baobao had already begun his plan.
Countless soldiers began to dig the ground desperately.
He wanted to dig a tunnel to Jinyang in the shortest possible time.
In order to cover up for Wang Baobao and prevent Zhang Wuji from seeing the clues, Zhao Min has begun to order the entire army to attack the city.
Countless Yuan soldiers rushed towards Jinyang with scimitars in their hands and roared.
On the top of the city wall, arrows and flying stones poured down like locusts.
In the Yuan army camp, Zhao Min watched all this with cold eyes.
War is cruel, and she knew this many years ago.
But if she wants to win, she has to bear this cruel price.
After a moment's silence, Zhao Min said to Duan Zihao beside her: "General Duan, didn't we carry tens of thousands of kilograms of black fire with us when we joined the army? That's a good thing."
"Wrap the black fire with cloth and add some small gravel inside..."
"After it is done, use the catapult to throw it onto the top of the city wall."
Duan Zihao quickly said: "Your Majesty is wise, but by doing this, will our soldiers be accidentally injured?"
Zhao Min smiled and said, "Yes, but the final result must be better than it is now."
…
Today, Zhao Min's attack was particularly fierce. Listening to the shouts and cries that resounded through the heavens and the earth, Zhang Wuji on the city wall felt a little weird.
He asked Zhou Zhiruo, "Zhiruo, do you think Zhao Min is a little crazy today?"
"Such a desperate attack is not her style."
Zhou Zhiruo also nodded: "I also feel that there is something wrong with Zhao Min today, but everything seems normal."
Yu Fei hurriedly asked them both: "Master, Sister Zhou, you said that there was something wrong with Zhao Min, but I didn't notice it. I think she is very normal."
"Isn't this what it's supposed to be like when you attack a city and capture a stronghold?"
Zhang Wuji said: "That's indeed what should be done, but for Zhao Min, she will definitely pay a heavy price for doing this."
"Even though she now has an army of 500,000, she has almost no reserve troops."
"If she fights me to the death like this, my Hexi land will be able to exhaust the combat power of her 500,000-strong army."
"Even if I am defeated by her in the end, I'm afraid she will be left alone."
"If you want to compete with Zhu Yuanzhang for the world again, you have almost no chance of winning."
…
Today's battle was extremely brutal. Less than an hour after the battle started, Zhao Min's side had suffered thousands of casualties. Similarly, Zhang Wuji's side also had hundreds of casualties.
Every casualty of a soldier means the torn apart of a family.
Zhang Wuji didn't want to see such a scene, but there was nothing he could do. He happened to be caught in a chaotic world that was rare in hundreds of years.
When Zhang Wuji was trying to capture Hexi, he wanted to use war to support the war, but now, he wants to use war to stop the war.
As long as all opponents are defeated, there will be no more wars.
There are only the last three forces left in the world. As long as he eliminates Zhao Min and defeats Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Wuji will have the confidence to become the king of a prosperous era.
…
Inside the Yuan army camp, under the command of Duan Zihao, hundreds of cloth-wrapped explosive packs had been made by him.
Duan Zihao is also a very smart person.
He left the fuse very short, so short that the bomb would explode as soon as it landed on the top of the city wall.
He would not give the Ming soldiers on the city wall time to react.
…
One by one, explosive packs made of black fire were thrown onto the top of the city wall.
At the beginning, the Ming soldiers on the city wall didn’t know what these things were.
But with the sound of the explosion, almost everyone within a radius of ten feet was either dead or injured.
The explosion also frightened Zhang Wuji greatly.
He looked down carefully.
Explosions rang out one after another, and countless soldiers fell to the ground.
Zhou Zhiruo asked Zhang Wuji, "This thing is very lethal, what should we do?"
Zhang Wuji shook his head: "There is no solution. I just didn't expect that Zhao Min would lead an army on such a long expedition and even bring Black Fire with her."
Zhou Zhiruo said: "Black fire, don't we have that thing too?"
Zhang Wuji nodded and said: "Indeed, we have it too, but we don't have much black fire."
"Our black fire only weighs over ten thousand kilograms now."
"That thing is very difficult to make. After I retreated from Longcheng to Jinyang, I had already started working on it in secret."
"But after several months, we only produced more than 10,000 kilograms."
Zhou Zhiruo said: "I didn't realize before that this black fire is so powerful."
"If the people from the six major sects had been able to attack Bright Summit with several thousand kilograms of black fire, it would have been much smoother."
As soon as Zhou Zhiruo finished saying this, Zhang Wuji pinched her pretty face.
"Zhiruo, if the six major sects were really so smart, how could there be the Ming Dynasty today?"
"Because of what you said just now, I must torture you tonight."
…
A moment later, Zhang Wuji called Yang Xiao to his side and said, "General Yang, we have more than ten thousand kilograms of gunpowder in our warehouse."
