I'm a useless prince, so what if I know a little bit of chemistry?

Because they were not sure whether there was anyone on the city wall, they had to throw grenades on the city wall to confirm whether there was anyone there.

If there are still people hiding on the city wall, they will have no way out. If the opponent throws down rolling logs and thunder stones when they are climbing the city wall, they will definitely suffer a great loss.

The grenades began to explode, but no screams were heard, so they were sure that there was no one on the city wall.

"Hurry, hurry, there are no enemies on the wall, climb up as fast as you can!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry. The first person to climb up the city wall will be rewarded with a great achievement. Hurry up, hurry up!"

"Hurry up! Anyone who is slow will be punished by military law!"

The middle-level non-commissioned officers who were supervising the battle began to shout. It could be said that they were using both kindness and force. Some tempted them with merit, while others threatened them with military law.

But no matter what, these people were full of energy. At this moment, they didn't think about the consequences at all. All they thought about was taking down Minjiang Pass. Only by taking down Minjiang Pass could it be considered an honor for them.

Lin Fan watched all this silently, fearing that Huangfu Qi would use some other method.

When Huangfu Qi heard the explosion on the city wall, he knew that the other party had begun to attack the wall, but they had no way to stop it because the other party's weapons were too abnormal. After the other party started to bombard the city wall, many people had been killed.

At this moment, they no longer had enough time to get to the top of the city wall.

Moreover, even if they force their way to the top of the city wall, the enemy may immediately attack the city gate, which would then make them even more passive.

So Huangfu Qi made a very bold decision. He planned to fight with Lin Fan's men on the city wall, let them into the city, and then start to take action after they entered the city.

This was a very bold decision made by Huangfu Qi, because usually after attacking a city, the commander would choose to abandon the city and flee, rather than defending the city wall and fighting with them like they were doing now.

Huangfu Qi didn’t know whether his decision was correct, but he wanted to give it a try, because if he didn’t try, Minjiang Pass would have been lost.

Moreover, part of Huangfu Qi's troops are still in the military camp. After these people come over, Huangfu Qi may be able to fight to the death with Lin Fan.

This is what Huangfu Qi thought, of course, she didn’t know whether her decision was correct.

Huangfu Qi shouted to a soldier beside him: "Try every possible means to get the people in the barracks to fight their way out, and make sure the original soldiers at Minjiang Pass don't hide. If Minjiang Pass is destroyed, this general is willing to bury them all with him."

Huangfu Qi shouted at the soldiers to mobilize the army, and the soldiers around him took action immediately. After all, there were still 150,000 people in the two cities combined, so it might not be impossible to fight.

But they didn't know that there was chaos in the military camp at this time.

Zhao Feng started bombing them with grenades, and when the other side was thrown into disarray, he began to use explosives to bomb them, because explosives are much more powerful than grenades and have a larger killing range.

What Zhao Feng wanted to do was not to blow all these people to death here, but to delay them until Lin Fan successfully entered the city wall.

The soldiers guarding Minjiang Pass were all corrupt and incompetent. When they learned that enemy troops had infiltrated the city and that the fighting outside the city was extremely fierce, they had already given up their plans to resist.

As the highest commander of Minjiang Pass, Cao Chun was ready to escape at this time.

He gathered all the valuable things in his house together, and then led his men out through the city gate where there was no fighting.

On the way, Cao Chun naturally met many of his men. These people were very confused. The war was going on right now, so where are you going, Lord Cao?

Cao Chun said to them, "Brothers, I told you a long time ago that we came to Minjiang Pass to make a fortune. Now that we have made enough money and the enemy is attacking the city, we must run away. Otherwise, won't all the money we have made become money in other people's pockets?"

These people were already very corrupt, and after hearing Cao Chun's words, they agreed with them deeply.

"Master Cao is right. We are here to make a fortune. Now Minjiang Pass is about to be lost. When the enemy attacks, our money will surely be snatched away by them. We might as well follow Master Cao and leave!"

"Yes, Lord Cao is right, we should leave instead of defending the city!"

"Yes, follow Lord Cao to make a fortune again!"

Of course, some soldiers were confused. They had no idea where they would go after leaving Minjiang Pass.

"Sir Cao, where are we going to go after we leave Minjiang Pass? If the imperial court knows that we have escaped, they will definitely not let us go!"

When someone brought this up, the others were naturally very worried. After all, they did not have the courage to go against the imperial court.

Cao Chun smiled slightly; he had already decided to retreat.

Minjiangguan is a city on the sea, and it also has a seaport with many ships docked at the port.

Not far from Minjiang Pass, there is an island with a large number of residents. They can retreat to that island and guard it. Relying on the island's unique terrain, Cao Chun feels that even if he is hunted down by the court, he can still fight against the court.

"Have you forgotten that there is an island not far from here? We can go to that island and be local emperors. Even if people from the imperial court attack us, we can fight them off. We can share the joys and sorrows. Isn't it better than staying in this ghost place?" Cao Chun said.

After Cao Chun’s reminder, everyone thought of the existence of the island.

Considering the unique terrain of the island, if they could successfully reach the island, they would indeed be like local emperors. Why would they have to suffer the wrath of the imperial court then?

So everyone responded and expressed their desire to go with Cao Chun.

"We will follow Lord Cao. We are willing to go!"

"We are willing to support Lord Cao as our king. Yes, may His Majesty live a thousand years!"

"Your Majesty, a thousand years old!"

With someone taking the lead, everyone started calling Cao Chun "Prince".

Cao Chun certainly enjoyed it very much, as it was much better than being a prefect. When he arrived on the island, he would establish his own country and enjoy the treatment of an emperor.

Cao Chun made a plan and then immediately led his men on a quick march to the seaside.

As for what happened to Minjiang Pass, they no longer wanted to care.

Now Cao Chun's mind was filled with dreams of becoming emperor, and the soldiers under him were all thinking about following the emperor. No one cared about Minjiang Pass, let alone Huangfu Qi who was fighting inside Minjiang Pass.

Minjiang Pass is in danger!
