I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

Chapter 151: Divine Thunder Blasts Siege Vehicle

"How many bombs are left?"

Shen Changgong came to the city gate tower and asked Tu Queling.

At this time, the empress and others were also eating.

"Less than a hundred."

Tu Queling said.

Shen Changgong immediately frowned and said,

"How much is less than a hundred? You're in charge of the things, and you don't even have an accurate number?"

"There are eight left."

Tu Queling said truthfully.

Shen Changgong was full of black lines on his head and praised,

"You understand metaphors. Your brain is almost as good as Gongsun Wan'er's."

Hearing this, Gongsun Wan'er put down her chopsticks and asked,

"What's wrong with my brain?"

"I'm praising you for being smart."

"Oh."

She continued eating.

"Hurry up and have someone move it here, it's urgently needed."

"As ordered!"

Tu Queling immediately trotted down and called a few people to help move it.

Shen Changgong turned around and was about to leave when Yan Fuyao said,

"Why are you in such a hurry? Since you're already here, why don't you eat first?"

"You talk like I'm a guest."

"You are not a guest, you are my wife."

Yan Fuyao smiled deeply.

Carry forward the spirit of flirting without taking responsibility.

Shen Changgong didn't say anything. He grabbed a steamed bun and quickly went down the city gate tower, eating while staring outside.

On the battlefield, after the enemy changed shifts, the remaining troops also rushed up in a mighty force. The siege vehicles were pushed by the soldiers and slowly moved forward.

The siege vehicle is specially designed for city gates. It has four wheels at the bottom and racks around both sides. In the middle is a huge solid wooden battering ram. The front is sharpened and wrapped with iron sheets. It is hung on the rack with more than a dozen ropes. It can be swung back and forth and hit with great force, making it a powerful weapon for attacking city gates.

Inside the city wall, catapults threw kerosene cans outside, and those kerosene cans flew out together, forming a sea of ​​fire outside the city.

Some of the enemy's siege vehicles move fast, and some move slowly.

Those who walk fast have already passed the line of fire, while those who walk slowly have not yet reached it.

Some unlucky ones were even burned by the flames. The soldiers jumped out of the siege vehicles and rolled around.

There were more than a dozen siege vehicles, but only three finally got in.

Soon, with the joint efforts of all the soldiers, the three siege vehicles, two on the west and one on the east, were pushed towards the gate of the city.

The soldiers on the city walls shot arrows, but the arrows caused little damage to the catapults, which had shields on top and soldiers holding shields around them.

It was at this time that Tu Queling and his men arrived here carrying the only eight remaining bombs.

Shen Changgong risked a look downwards, and after confirming that the enemy's siege vehicle was about to start ramming the gate, he immediately grabbed a bomb, lit it with the brazier on the city wall, quickly carried it to the top of the city gate, and smashed it down hard.

The black bomb hit the siege vehicle heavily, and then Shen Changgong turned around quickly.

Two seconds later.

boom! ! !

A huge roar came, and the siege vehicle below was blown to pieces. The huge object exploded, blowing the people around it away, and along with it flew countless sharp splinters of wood, which pierced into their flesh and tore their bodies apart.

Some died on the spot, while those who survived were lucky enough to be stabbed with wood chips all over their bodies, their flesh and blood were all over the place, they screamed in agony, their life was worse than death.

On the other side, Mo Hei also held a bomb, lit it and threw it down. With a loud explosion, he saw the people below were covered in blood and flesh, and were scattered here and there. He was so excited that he howled and wished he could pick up another one and throw it down to blow people up.

"Be frugal, these are all we have. Save them for bombing siege vehicles."

Shen Changgong scolded.

Mo Hei put down the bomb angrily and waited for the siege vehicle in the distance to approach.

However, after seeing the miserable condition of the two groups of comrades in front, the siege vehicle dared not move forward no matter what.

Mo Hei sighed regretfully and said,

"These wonderful things have all gone to Guan Shouchang and Zhang Yide. I haven't even had a chance. Your Highness, why don't you make more of these?"

"That's a good question. Go back and ask your brother."

“This… hehe.”

Mo Hei stopped talking.

Far away outside the city, Ruan Weiba, who was too tired to walk, sat on the ground, eating from a bowl while looking into the distance.

When he saw the huge explosion in the distance with his own eyes, he was so shocked that the bowl in his hand fell to the ground.

He quickly pulled his companions around him and pointed into the distance with trembling fingers.

"What are you doing?"

"That's the thing the enemy used to blow up our camp that night. It was the divine thunder.

Damn it, that thing was really powerful, dozens of people were killed in an instant, all dead!

"Everyone is dead, why are you not dead? Ruan Weiba, I find that you are a bit evil, it seems that you can't die no matter what.

I didn't blow you up that night, and you didn't die during the siege these past few days. You're an immortal god of war."

"Hehe, thank you for the award. I was just lucky."

Ruan Weiba felt a little guilty, so he picked up the bowl and went to get his meal.

While he was getting his meal, he kept looking back and saw another divine thunder that blew his comrades in the east to the ground.

He was determined in his heart that next time he saw Yan Jun holding a big black ball, he would immediately run away.

Yu Huatian, who was in the central army in the distance, frowned slightly after seeing this scene.

The general beside him said quickly,

"Marshal, our brothers have suffered heavy casualties, and the enemy has divine thunder to help them. We are no match for them.

The catapults were burned, we had no large equipment, the ladders were burned, and the siege vehicles were blown up by divine thunder. We couldn't even get to the top of the city wall in a short time.

Let's withdraw, brothers. We can attack again after we have built our siege equipment."

"Well, you're right, let the brothers withdraw."

Yu Huatian nodded.

"what?"

The lieutenant general was stunned at first. He didn't expect that the commander-in-chief, who was always stubborn, would listen to his advice this time and decide not to fight.

Then he was ecstatic and shouted immediately,

"Sound the retreat, sound the retreat!"

As the sound of heavy gongs rang out, it reached the front line and the soldiers immediately ran to the back.

Yuhuatian withdrew his troops not because he changed his mind, but because he forced the opponent to unleash his divine thunder.

He had to use many lives to make Shen Changgong believe that he was really unable to fight anymore, that he had run out of tricks, that the ladders were burned by fire, and that the siege vehicles were blown up by divine thunder.

There is no way out.

He wanted to make Shen Changgong believe that he was really no longer able to fight, and that there was nothing he could do.

Now, the effect has been achieved.

If he really charged forward in a fit of rage and without thinking, it would not be consistent with Yu Huatian's personality, and Shen Changgong would also be suspicious.

And now, it's just right.

The soldiers retreated, and the auxiliary troops waved white flags, pulled carts, and cleaned up the battlefield.

Shen Changgong looked at the retreating soldiers, somewhat confused. Shouldn't Yuhuatian have fought fiercely for a whole day? What was going on?

Is it a night attack? That shouldn't be the case. He thought quickly about the enemy coach's thoughts.
