Chapter 187 Ambush
Then he ordered the archers: "Shoot!"
You know, they have been attacking the city wall until now, but the archers have not been used yet?
These archers were also carefully trained by Yu Mengqing, and their arrows never missed the target.
Besides, this place is not too far from the city wall.
Not to mention those who have received special training, even those who have not been trained can still hit the target.
Following Xue Zhonggui's order, the archer quickly drew his bow and loaded the arrow, his movements being smooth and seamless without any sloppiness.
In this way, the people on the city wall were shot to death before they could even release their arrows.
Seeing that the killing was almost over, Xue Zhonggui immediately drew out his sword and shouted, "Charge..."
Now Man Jingzi is running away in panic, and it is a good time for him to rush in.
How could Xue Zhonggui miss such an opportunity?
Besides, he had only used two explosives so far and had three left.
Not to mention that there are any left, even if there are none, it is more than enough for Xue Zhonggui to deal with them at this time.
He himself didn't expect that there would be any left. When Yu Mengqing gave it to him, he was worried that it was not enough, so he looked for saltpeter everywhere.
However, finding this saltpeter is a good thing, at least it is still needed on the battlefield.
Even if the siege of the city gate is successful now, there are still three cities behind, and war is inevitable.
Following Xue Zhonggui's words "Charge", all the elite soldiers immediately attacked towards the city gate.
The most difficult part of attacking the city gate is the tower, but now the tower has been destroyed by them.
The remaining ones were the people below the city wall. There weren't many people there, so the situation was handled even more quickly.
Xue Zhonggui didn't bring many people this time, but each one of them was carefully trained by Yu Mengqing.
When the two sides were about to meet, Xue Zhonggui took out the explosives in his hand again and threw them at Man Jingzi.
Seeing this, Man Jingzi suddenly became panicked.
They still don't know what this thing is. They only know that it is a black circle and if you get close to it, you will be shattered into pieces.
So when I saw Xue Zhonggui take out this thing again.
They immediately shouted "Run..."
However, it was too late...
"boom......"
With a loud bang, the nearby wild thorns were instantly blown to pieces.
This kind of thing is simply unavoidable.
After such a series of bombings, it became much easier for Xue Zhonggui and his men to break through the city gate.
It can even be said that there is no difficulty at all.
And Xue Zhonggui did indeed achieve this, without wasting a single soldier.
In less than two hours, the city gate had been breached by them.
Even Xue Zhonggui himself couldn't believe that they could break through the city gate so easily.
Actually, if you think about it, this is not entirely his credit.
If we talk about the greatest contribution to the siege, apart from Yu Mengqing's explosives, it must go to Guo Yalun.
Because until now, Xue Zhonggui has not seen the arrival of Man Jingzi's reinforcements.
You know, the reinforcements ambushing Guo Yalun are not only the reinforcements at the city gate, but also the reinforcements on the battlefield.
Guo Yalun's ambush can be said to have blocked the troops of both sides.
As long as he succeeds, not only will his success rate in attacking the city gate increase, but Yu Mengqing's success rate on the battlefield will also increase.
If he guessed correctly, there should be Man Jingzi's 40,000 troops there.
In this battle between the two sides, Man Jingzi had a total army of 100,000.
That is to say, there were only 60,000 troops on the battlefield, while his Great Xia Kingdom had an army of 100,000.
It is not difficult to win when an army of 100,000 is facing an army of 60,000.
"Xue Zhonggui, have we succeeded in attacking the city gate?" Guo Peiying asked in disbelief.
This was her first time attacking a city gate, and she couldn't believe that it was so easy to take it down.
I looked down at the sword in my hand and realized I hadn't drawn it yet.
Looking at the woman's excited and cheerful smile, Xue Zhonggui also smiled subconsciously.
Then he nodded again and replied with a soft "hmm" as a response to her.
"I thought it would be so difficult? It turns out to be so easy. Look at me, I just got a little scratch." Guo Peiying said in a low voice.
Her skin was only slightly scratched when Xue Zhonggui blocked the arrow for her just now.
How can it be considered an injury if there's not even any real blood flowing out?
Xue Zhonggui: "..." Why does her tone sound like she's feeling aggrieved?
You know what, Xue Zhonggui was right this time.
In Guo Peiying's eyes, she hadn't even started fighting yet, so how could it be over?
This was her first time to fight, and she had already prepared for the fight.
The result? All a waste of expressions.
Guo Yalun's side.
After the last round of bombing, he only has two explosives left in his hand.
Just as he was about to take another one and throw it down, he was stopped by Xue Zhonglan who was standing beside him.
Guo Yalun looked at her in confusion.
"We only have two explosives left. If we release them now, they won't hit as many people as we expected. So why not let them relax a bit before we use them?"
In terms of strategy, Xue Zhonglan is not as good as Yu Mengqing.
But Yu Mengqing also told her that there is a strategy on the battlefield called attacking the enemy by surprise.
It is just right to use it here now.
During this time with Yu Mengqing, Xue Zhonglan also learned a lot.
Especially in terms of observing people's hearts, Yu Mengqing is also happy to teach them.
So in these aspects, she can be said to be very adept at using them.
Even Yu Mengqing often praised her, saying that if she studied hard, she would be no worse than herself in the future.
When Guo Yalun heard Xue Zhonglan's words, he suddenly had an epiphany and his thoughts became clear instantly.
It seems that I was indeed a little impulsive. Fortunately, Yu Mengqing sent Xue Zhonglan here as well.
Looking at Xue Zhonglan again, she didn't seem to realize how much influence her words had on this war.
At this moment, her eyes were staring straight at Man Jingzi below.
At the same time, Guo Yalun was also very ashamed.
I didn't expect that he, who had been on the battlefield for many years, was not even as good as a young girl.
As expected of someone who trained with Yu Mengqing, he was superior to ordinary people not only in strategy but also in psychological warfare.
In fact, this is also the important reason why Yu Mengqing sent Xue Zhonglan to follow Guo Yalun to ambush here.
