Chapter 237: Exploding Heaven and Earth
"Killing you is too easy for you, isn't it? I am merciful and let you return home. You should thank me!"
Yun Yizi knew what he was going to face, his pupils trembled violently. He couldn't die like this.
But he couldn't refuse.
Chi Ming picked up the spear, picked up Yun Yizi, and threw him into the Nanzhao camp under the city.
The Nanzhao soldiers dared not move without orders. Yun Yizi fell rapidly and was pierced by countless spears. He was deader than dead.
It also killed several soldiers below.
Chi Ming shouted towards the city: "Nanzhao has no morals. We have sent countless spies to Dongxi. Today, I will return them to you. This is the result of serving the Nanzhao royal family."
The soldiers' eyes were stained red with blood, and they felt a sense of being in danger if one of them were to be killed.
The eldest prince turned his head and saw Yun Yizi had been pierced like a sieve, with his face facing him.
His eyes were wide open, as if he was terrified or unwilling.
Even though the eldest prince had seen many dead people, he was still frightened by this horrifying scene and his legs were shaking.
The soldiers around Yun Yizi were all a little panicked.
The eldest prince shouted, "You useless idiot, you have never seen a dead person."
The Nanzhao soldiers tried to keep their composure and not look at Yun Yizi on the ground. They once again had a deep understanding of the Regent's military power.
His inner strength is so powerful, it's so terrifying.
The eldest prince was furious: "Chi Ming, stop spreading rumors and confuse the people. Charge!"
"Whoever captures Chi Ming's head will be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"
"Anyone who climbs up the city wall will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!"
There will always be brave men when there is a big reward.
"Kill..."
The vanguard attacked the city wall, and the people behind followed.
Five hundred thousand people joined the battle and poured towards the border town like a tide. The scene was quite shocking.
The soldiers on the city wall were actually trembling a little and swallowing hard.
Nanzhao was really trying hard, sending out an army of 500,000, while they only had 200,000.
There is no problem in defending the city with 200,000 people, but it's just a scary sight.
The prince can certainly defeat ten thousand with one, but what about five hundred thousand soldiers? If he goes out to fight, he probably won't be able to win.
Chi Ming was not in a hurry at all. He was waiting until most of the enemies were within the range of his arrows.
It happened in a flash. A quarter of an hour later, Chi Ming ordered the crossbows to fire.
Arrows as dense as raindrops were shot at the Nanzhao soldiers, and many of them were killed or wounded under the rain of arrows.
The eldest prince was a little panicked. Usually five or six rounds of archery would be enough. There were not many soldiers on the city wall, so why were there so many arrows?
Could it be that Dongxi invented a new weapon?
The people from the Central Plains are so damned! It will be very difficult for them to attack the city now.
After twelve rounds of arrow rain, the soldiers behind continued to rush forward, stepping on the corpses of those in front.
When most people were within the range of the trebuchet, Chi Ming saw the opportunity and started the fire.
Wu Han had received instructions in advance and knew how to use the iron lump, so he took the torch and lit the fuse.
"put!"
With Wu Han's loud shout, lumps of iron flew out one after another.
In an instant, the explosion sounded like thunder, shaking the earth.
Thick black smoke, accompanied by hot air waves, rose into the sky, with flames raging and surging in it.
The enemy's camp was instantly thrown into chaos, accompanied by shrill screams.
Broken arms and limbs flew around, thrown into the air by the force of the explosion, and then fell heavily to the ground.
The originally neat army formation was now like ants scattered by a strong wind, with men and horses falling to the ground in chaos.
The soldiers' terrified eyes were filled with despair and fear. They fled in panic, not knowing where to go.
They were terrified by the horrific scene before them.
Some were even pushed to the ground by the panicked soldiers and trampled by countless panicked feet.
The eldest prince, who was originally so majestic, was frightened by the horse he was riding and fell to the ground.
He stood up in a panic, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Stop, stop!"
But his voice was drowned out by the deafening explosions and cries.
Chi Ming looked at the miserable condition of the enemy army without a trace of pity on his face.
Because only by using thundering means can he protect Dongxi behind him.
Today he will fight to scare Nanzhao and make them submit!
"Bang..."
"Bang..."
"Bang..."
The sound of explosions was endless, and the sky and earth in the distance were blown to pieces without any color.
The eldest prince of Nanzhao had no idea what kind of artifact Chi Ming had dropped. He only knew that every explosion caused countless casualties.
Suddenly, a lump of iron exploded not far from him. If it weren't for his personal soldiers holding him down, he would have been killed.
He was really scared.
He led the mad retreat, and the soldiers followed suit.
After retreating about fifty miles, the deputy general counted the soldiers and found that only 300,000 were left out of the 500,000-strong army.
We lost 200,000 people without even touching the bricks of the city wall.
It's so infuriating!
The dusty prince roared:
"ah..."
"Chi Ming, I'm going to kill you!"
"They definitely don't have that many iron lumps, otherwise why didn't they take them out earlier? Come with me to attack the city!"
He insisted on continuing the siege despite the opposition of his deputy general.
The soldiers were terrified. Many of their comrades had died, and they didn't want to die without a complete body.
That exploding thing just now was really terrifying.
Could it be a punishment from God?
The fighting spirit in their hearts had long since disappeared without a trace.
But
It is difficult to disobey the order!
The demoralized soldiers followed their fearful commander to attack the city, resulting in the eldest prince being killed in the explosion and the loss of another 100,000 soldiers.
The deputy general, as if he had lost his parents, fled in disgrace to the heartland of Nanzhao with the remaining 200,000 troops.
Will Chi Ming let them go?
"Come when you want, leave when you want?"
"Wu Han, mobilize the troops and pursue the victory!"
Wu Han threw gunpowder, his eyes red with excitement.
He loves to beat a man who is down on his luck.
"yes."
You've been so arrogant, but this time, I'll make you kneel down and call me grandpa!
An army of two hundred thousand strong came out in full force and chased after the Nanzhao soldiers.
Finally, they chased the people into a valley and surrounded and killed them all.
The reason why Chi Ming issued such an order was to weaken the vitality of Nanzhao.
With five hundred thousand young and middle-aged men dying at once, it would take Nanzhao more than a decade to recover.
He just wanted to leave Nanzhao no room to breathe.
Of course, this was not the end. Chi Ming led the army and was unstoppable all the way. In two days, they captured five cities of Nanzhao before they called a halt.
Wu Han was not satisfied: "Your Majesty, we can capture the capital of Nanzhao in one fell swoop!"
Morale is at an all-time high, and they would feel uncomfortable if they were asked to stop at this time.
He had fought for so many years and had never felt so good.
The prince is their God.
Chi Ming actually didn't want to stop, but the war was not only going on on the southwest border, but also in the northwest.
"Western Rong has not been resolved yet. It is only a matter of time before we take over Nanzhao."
Wu Han suspected that he had heard wrongly. Did the prince mean to take over Nanzhao?
Hahaha...
You are worthy of being a prince.
"I am willing to serve you like a dog or a horse."
"Guard this city and wait for my return."
"yes."
When news of war arrived at the capital of Nanzhao, everyone, from the emperor and his ministers to the common people, was in a panic.
