The grass in the factory should be plucked

During the war in Southern Xinjiang, when the Southern Expedition Army mobilized 100,000 troops from the Pingxi Army, everyone thought that this was a journey to death, and no one was willing to go.

Wei Zhuang had no choice but to order his soldiers to draw lots to decide.

After Zhou Zhongguang and his group of "unlucky guys" were unwillingly incorporated into the Southern Expedition Army, they thought they would surely die. However, they did not expect that not only did they all escape unscathed, but they also earned a lot of military merits and were promoted.

What made their Pingxi Army colleagues even more jealous was that they also bought property in the newly established Dali Prefecture!

Prince Jing'an allowed them to use work as a form of relief and help the Longmen Commercial Bureau build shops. The work hours could be used as money to buy shops!

Although those shops are extremely expensive, if a few people work hard and pool their money together, they can buy a small shop together.

Now those shops are making progress every month, which makes their colleagues in the Pingxi Army who were complacent and thought they had escaped disaster regret it now.

Now that I hear that those military merits were “picked up”, I am even more envious and jealous.

They all cast eager eyes towards Xie Changan, hoping that this great general could lead them this time to pick up the "military merits" all over the ground.

When Wei Zhuang thought about what Zhou Zhongguang had told him, he was filled with admiration.

The couple, Duke Dingguo and Prince Jingjun, led the Southern Expedition Army and captured the entire southern Xinjiang at lightning speed with minimal casualties.

In a short period of time, the newly established Dali Prefecture was built. Now it is crowded with shops and visitors, a prosperous scene.

The two of them are so young, and they deserve to be crowned kings and given titles.

When Wei Zhuang heard that Longmen Military Industry was going to launch a new weapon, he came out to watch with great interest.

At Mo Sanlang's command, hundreds of wooden kites rode the east wind and flew towards the enemy's city wall like arrows.

Wei Zhuang was a little worried. Could they capture the city with just over a hundred wooden kites?

He whispered to Xie Changan, "Duke, didn't the White Immortal cast a spell? Now the defenders in the city have no power to resist. Shouldn't our army take this opportunity to attack the city?"

Xie Changan smiled and said, "There are dozens of artillery pieces lined up outside the city. The enemy can't swing their swords, but they still have enough strength to fire their artillery pieces."

Wei Zhuang thought so too, why should he be cannon fodder?

Let’s see how Longmen Military Industry operates.

In Turpan, Yesen heard from the deputy general that after treatment by military doctors, the soldiers' symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea had improved, and they felt relieved.

"Strengthen your precautions. The Chu army might take the opportunity to launch a night attack!" He frowned and issued orders in a stern voice.

Since this "poison" only causes vomiting and diarrhea, the people of Da Chu will definitely launch an attack before the effect of the drug wears off!

"The gunners are on standby at all times. If the enemy army makes any unusual movements, fire immediately!

"Yes!" The deputy general took the order and left.

After a while, he came back crawling.

"Commander, it's not good, it's not good!"

Yesen was so angry that he wanted to whip him again, this unlucky thing!

"Da Chu... people of Da Chu..." The deputy general was out of breath.

"Did the Chu army really launch an attack?" Yesen stood up suddenly.

"No... no, they released hundreds of... wooden kites over here!"

Although the deputy general didn't know why the people of Da Chu released hundreds of wooden kites, he had a bad feeling.

"Just a wooden kite?" Yesen's brows were tightly knitted together.

What exactly are the people of Da Chu up to?

"Let the archers shoot down all those wooden kites!"

Yesen walked up to the top of the city wall and looked up at the sky.

In the darkness of the night, hundreds of wooden kites flew towards the city with a roar.

Although the archer's hands were still weak, he still pulled the bow and shot the arrow with all his might, trying his best to shoot the wooden kite down from the sky.

But the wooden kites were too fast. Before the arrows could hit them, the bottoms of the wooden kites opened and black powder floated down.

The wind blew it all over the city.

Yesen was shocked. Did the people of Da Chu poison him again?!

"Cover your mouth and nose, and take shelter in the tent for the time being!"

The soldiers covered their mouths and noses and crawled into the tents.

Yesen also evacuated from the city wall under the cover of his personal soldiers.

At this time, someone finally felt something was wrong. Why did the black powder falling from the sky have a strong smell of sulfur?

"Oh no, this is gunpowder!"

Yesen was shocked: "Quick, put out the torch!"

But it was too late.

Ten miles away, in the Great Chu military camp, Mo Sanlang showed a simple smile on his face: "Next, we will give the people of Turpan a bonfire party that they will never forget!"

He carried a thin, long, steel barrel onto his shoulder and pulled the trigger. With a "bang", a fire bomb, like a blood-red meteor, flew across the night sky and fell into the city.

With a loud bang, the gunpowder that fell in various places in the city was ignited, and there was a blazing fire everywhere.

"Put out the fire, put out the fire!" Yesen shouted hoarsely.

He was extremely shocked and angry, anxious and angry.

These despicable and shameless people of Da Chu have no martial ethics at all. They either assassinate or poison, and now they are setting fire!

Is this how the battle is fought?!

There was chaos in the city, with people rushing to put out the fire, fleeing in panic, and soldiers in a mess, trampling on each other.

Unexpectedly, worse is yet to come.

"Boom", "boom", "boom", a series of explosions sounded continuously.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud "boom" and the solid city wall collapsed!

It turned out that when Bai Xian went through the tunnel to meet Xie Changan and Wei Zhuang, he also took away a lot of miniature mines developed by Longmen Military Industry.

Each of these mines is only the size of a plum, but is quite powerful.

Bai Xian asked her disciples to secretly bury the mines along the tunnels at various locations on the city walls.

When the fire bombs ignited the gunpowder in various places, they also ignited these mines.

Hundreds of mines exploded at the same time. Even the strongest city wall could not withstand the huge impact force and collapsed.

Even the cannons placed outside the city gates exploded one after another on the spot.

The city was engulfed in flames and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

Yesen stared at all this with a dull look in his eyes.

He boasted that he was as brave as his brother, but he never expected that he would be defeated before he even saw half of the Chu people!

The deputy general's face turned dark and he tried his best to protect Yesen.

"General, the city walls have collapsed, let's retreat first! As long as there is life, there is hope!"

Yesen gnashed his teeth and said, "No, I won't leave! I want to fight the people of Da Chu!"

The Western Expedition Army watched this grand "bonfire party" from afar and cheered loudly.

"My Lord, when will we enter the city?"

Zhou Zhongguang couldn't wait to "pick up military merits".

"No rush, just wait."

Xie Changan waited until the fire died down before ordering the army to attack.

With the sound of trumpets, the Chu army rushed into the collapsed city.

The Turpan soldiers were seen lying on the ground, their charred armor glowing strangely in the ashes.

The night wind blew the ashes across the gap in the city wall, making the broken limbs on the ground rustle, as if countless wronged souls were wailing.

The soldiers of the Western Expedition Army were delighted, and their military achievements were indeed everywhere!

They rushed forward to cut off the enemy's heads.

Zhou Zhongguang was walking towards the city when he heard someone shouting, "General Zhou, be careful!"

The sound of wind blew past his ears, and a blood-soaked Turpan soldier rushed out from behind the broken wall, aiming straight at his throat with the scimitar in his hand.

At the moment when the cold light flashed, Zhou Zhongguang dodged sideways and stabbed the opponent's chest with his backhand.

"Everyone be careful, beware of the enemy faking their own death and launching a surprise attack!"

Xie Changan's clear voice echoed among the broken walls.

The soldiers were shocked. They were so overwhelmed by the victory before them that they almost lost their vigilance.

These "corpses" all over the ground are most likely not corpses!

Before Xie Changan finished speaking, the "dead" Turpan soldiers jumped up one after another, and hidden poison arrows flew through the air.

The Western Expedition Army suddenly fell into chaos.

At this moment, the sword light suddenly appeared, bright and dazzling, like lightning in the dark night, so bright that everyone could hardly open their eyes.

I saw swords flashing like silver snakes, shuttling across the field, with endless clanging sounds and arrows falling to the ground like rain.

It turned out that Xie Changan was controlling the sword with his Qi, manipulating the sword to shoot down the poisonous arrow.

The soldiers of the Western Expedition Army burst into cheers.

"You are the Great Chu God of War? You are indeed amazing!"

A hoarse voice sounded, speaking in stiff Da Chu dialect.

Xie Changan turned his head and saw a man slowly walking out from the shadow of the city wall. He was wrapped in a blood-stained cloak, with a sinister smile on his lips and a blood-stained sword tightly grasped in his hand.

This man had a high nose, deep eyes, a broad back and strong arms, and was somewhat similar to Sayyid.

"First?"

Xie Changan was slightly surprised that the enemy commander did not retreat with the army, but stayed and died with the city?

"If it's not so, how can I meet the Great Chu God of War?"

Yesen showed a grim smile on his face, "I will kill you to avenge my brother!"
