That night.
Inside the big tent, Wutu was still having an intense discussion with his generals.
However, the number of people in the tent had decreased a lot at this time, after all, the entire army had suffered heavy losses.
It needs to be readjusted, and people have been arranged to go down as soon as possible.
The devastating power of gunpowder still reappeared in their minds.
The city gate, which was originally extremely heavy and gave people a strong sense of security, now also makes people feel uneasy.
The weapon was mysterious and when it exploded on the ground, it created a huge hole.
Although this city gate is made of iron-clad wood, it is also made of the finest iron birch.
But...it's wood after all!
A large number of personnel have been arranged to carry various supplies to guard the city gates.
The rest of the people rested in groups, or the generals calmed the morale of the troops.
"Your Majesty, we can no longer take the initiative to attack, and we cannot stay in the high pass for long. We need to retreat outside the pass as soon as possible and make plans later."
"I suggest that we divide our forces. The army of Jing is far inferior to that of the Great Jin. The best way is to stretch their battle lines and defeat them one by one."
"Yes, I also think this is the only way to do it. I saw the enemy's weapons from afar. There was a black hole buried in the ground, and there was also a thick iron pipe on the ground. This object looked extremely heavy. If we start a tug-of-war with them, their weapons will definitely not be able to be deployed in time."
Wutu was still pacing, with a worried look on his face.
retreat?
The whole country's blood is almost being sucked dry by this war.
Now we have only taken Chenggao Pass and Liuhe Pass. If we give up these two passes, wouldn’t it be a waste of effort?
There are already many people with ulterior motives in the domestic political situation.
Now that the command is not good... isn't everything over?
Thinking of this, Wutu raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Let's take another look. Although Jingguo's weapons are strong, they also have obvious weaknesses."
"They haven't attacked the city gate yet, which shows their deployment..."
"Report~~~~! Your Majesty, a large number of hot air balloons were spotted in the sky. A rough observation shows that there are no less than three hundred of them!"
A soldier rushed into the tent like a madman and reported loudly.
Originally, it should have been reported outside the account, but now he didn't dare to go through the process for fear of delaying even a second.
Jingguo's weapons were truly terrifying. Any unusual movement by the enemy was enough to scare the entire army.
The eyes of all the generals in the tent were focused on the soldier.
Wutu said loudly: "Order all battalions to be on alert. If the enemy is fierce, hide in the nearest houses. Strengthen patrols on the city and supply city defense materials."
"The city gates must also be guarded more tightly, they must not be breached!"
"Raise our hot air balloons and do our best to stop them."
"Yes." The soldier responded and hurried out to pass on the order.
"Everyone, disperse. The morale of the army is unstable right now. Let's defend this city today. We will decide tomorrow whether to retreat or fight!"
.....
Above the city walls of Chenggaoguan, more than 300 hot air balloons dotted the sky like stars.
Wutu stood below, holding the hilt of the knife at his waist tightly with one hand, looking up at the sky.
Kerosene and rocks are not that much of a problem.
Most of the houses in this city are made of wood, and a few are made of stone.
When they attacked the city before, they dropped a round of kerosene and flying rocks, which almost burned down a large number of wooden houses in the city.
What remains now are high-quality houses.
His only worry was the strange weapon he saw during the day. If it was on the hot air balloon, it would be a big trouble.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Wutu felt relieved.
Yes, as others have said, although the weapon is magical, it should be extremely heavy.
He knew the load capacity of a hot air balloon. It was impossible to pull up such a big piece of iron.
At this moment, many soldiers in the city had walked out of the makeshift military tents and looked up at the sky.
The group of hot air balloons has slowly moved to the sky above Chenggaoguan.
Suddenly, a burst of star-like, faint flames fell from the sky.
By chance, a bomb fell next to the military tent.
The fuse was too long and was still burning.
The Jin soldiers beside the military tent were startled by the strange thing that fell down, and saw that it was just something that looked like a cloth bag.
He bravely stepped forward to pick it up, and several soldiers surrounded him.
"What is this? This isn't a stone, is it?"
"There shouldn't be anything in here, open it and take a look."
"Don't move, it's still smoking..." "BOOM!!!"
The explosive pack exploded with a loud bang, and the five or six Jin soldiers surrounding it withstood the explosion with their flesh and blood.
Countless pieces of iron and gravel inside the explosive pack shot out and penetrated the bodies of the soldiers.
There were dense spots of blood seeping through the clothes on the torso, and the face had been blown into a bloody mess.
Then the whole person flew backwards.
This scene was repeated in various places in Chenggaoguan. Some of the explosive packs exploded the moment they were about to hit the ground, killing nearby soldiers.
However, most explosive packs have their fuses left longer to prevent them from exploding prematurely and losing their power.
As a result, many people picked up the bomb at the same time, and the same tragedy happened at the same time and place.
"Boom!--Boom!---Boom!"
The sound of the explosions was irregular, and the wails of countless Jin soldiers once again resounded through the world.
What’s more terrifying is that the warhorse was frightened again.
Many explosive packs were thrown directly into the herd of horses, causing countless horses to go crazy. They broke free from their ropes and began to run around in the city.
When he met soldiers along the way, he stepped on them without hesitation.
Wutu's eyes turned red and his mind was in a mess at this moment.
