The ripples blowing in Kyoto are unknown to Shou'an City.
Most of the people in charge in the city are squatting on the towers at the moment, holding their heads to resist the explosion.
"Ploppap!" Anyu spat out the dirt that had been thrown into his mouth again.
In order to maintain the prestige of his sister Yuan, Anyu did not block Shengyuan in the name of protection, but always followed her.
After the bombing was over, Anyu breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the edge of the city wall. He continued to curse loudly: "Hey, you have the ability to sell out the blueprints of the imperial weapons, but you don't have the ability to directly surrender to the enemy! Huh, it's better not to call me young master." You know whose handiwork it is, otherwise, I will make him regret being born!"
The general judge next to him muttered in a low voice: "You gave Huo Lei's drawings to Arong Le, why don't you just surrender to the enemy directly?"
The colleague happened to be right in front of him. Hearing this, he immediately tugged his colleague's sleeve quietly: "Good fellow, you actually answered the question in front of this gentleman. I'm afraid I don't want to live anymore!" Are you really afraid that he will come up all at once and throw you out of the tower? !
After reacting, Tongpan immediately lowered his head to cover his face, fearing that Anyu would notice him.
In fact, Anyu didn't have time to pay attention to this at all. He was busy complaining to Sheng Yuan in a low voice at the moment: "They say that A Rong is the Yi Di, but the Yi Di can still carry a truckload of low-quality fire mines everywhere. Let's The Chu court had high-quality firearms in their hands, but they refused to send them over!
It is well known as the fear of marching in a hurry. If the explosion fails, it is just a fear that these firearms will fall into the hands of Xiao Xiao and endanger Kyoto, and even more afraid that the troops outside will have other thoughts! Who doesn’t know? Those guys in the cabinet are used to pushing themselves and others, so they are not the ones on the battlefield!
The dozen or so cannons in the national inventory are reserved to defend Kyoto. We are not greedy, but give us some iron-cased fire mines! What's even more annoying is that the arsenal in the border area doesn't have the conditions to manufacture firearms! It’s simply the most ridiculous thing in the world! "
He was chattering there, but Sheng Yuan just listened in one ear and threw it out in the other, not paying attention at all.
If we have this time, wouldn't it be good to investigate the situation over there in Arong?
"Little Marquis, we still have some gunpowder ammunition." The boss of the workshop was not far away. When he heard Anyu's dissatisfaction with the weapons, he couldn't help but argue in a low voice.
Although the Ordnance Institute was not under his control, the deputy envoy of the Ordnance Institute was his brother-in-law.
Although it is hard to say whether Shou'an City can be defended, as long as the city is not destroyed, little people like them cannot let the powerful people in front of them who can reach the heavens hold a grudge.
Don't ask the Marquis of Ancheng to promote them, as long as he doesn't give them bad reviews.
"Huh? That's right! The gunpowder bombs haven't been used yet! What happened to Lao Liang? Fight back!"
Anyu patted his confused head and remembered, and immediately looked expectantly towards where General Liang was.
As a result...where are the people? !
"Huh?! Where is Mr. Liang?!"
"Arong's fire thunder has been exhausted. General Liang should have organized a counterattack!" Sheng Yuan glanced at this somewhat careless guy, "Although the power of the fire thunder is limited, after many rounds, it has caused damage to the city gate. , I just don’t know if I can withstand it.”
"Is there something wrong with the city gate?" Anyu jumped up and ran towards the stairs without saying a word, shouting as he ran, "No, let me take a look!"
Sheng Yuan watched silently as he ran away like a hot wheel, shaking his head silently.
…
Anyu looked at the pile of scrap wood behind the city gate and felt a little dumbfounded.
"Little Marquis, this was caused by fire and thunder!" The craftsman responsible for installing the weapons for defending the city looked at the components stacked on the ground with a look of disgrace, his eyes red.
Anyu was slightly startled when he saw it.
He found that he seemed to be increasingly disdainful of the sadness of ordinary people.
"After A Rong is beaten away, Master Shengfu will ask Miss Yuan Tang to help you modify the drawings so that you can build more meaningful mechanisms." An Yu comforted him awkwardly, scratching his ears.
"Actually, even if there is no problem with the weapon for defending the city, it will not be of much use. After all, when it was originally designed, no one thought that the opponent would have fire thunder!"
"..." The craftsman, who was halfway moved, hesitated whether to continue being moved or to calm down.
Seeing that the other party's mood calmed down, An Yu, who believed that his persuasion was successful, once again focused on the hole in the city gate.
He ran to the city gate, touched the sections around the door, and exclaimed: "Hey, dear, luckily there are no fire thunders on Ajong's side! Otherwise, there will be more fire thunders thrown over these two big holes, inside and outside. During a pincer attack, how can we defend this city gate!"
"Who said that Ajong's fire and thunder have all been used up?" General Liang strode to the city gate and signaled the soldiers to get ready.
Anyu was shocked when he heard this: "You haven't used it all? You can't, right? A Rong is so rich?!"
General Liang looked at the city gate and turned to look at Anyu: "Little Marquis, do you think this is the only way to defend the city? Didn't Commander Cen tell you? A Rong also has a team that entered Shouping City. Their team It's so huge, far greater than the wave outside the city, even this group of people has so many fire thunders, how do you know there aren't any over there?"
"Old...General Liang, Sister Yuan and I bought a lot of raw materials from Nurhan before, but we still made some simple gunpowder bombs. Use them! Fight these guys back first!"
Anyu was so anxious that he almost shouted the wrong name. Fortunately, General Liang didn't catch it.
"Little Marquis, let's put aside the power of gunpowder shells. Let's just say that the existing inventory is not enough to support our wanton use. We can't survive this time, and then we can't survive, right?" General Liang looked tiredly. Anyu, who was not a family member and didn't know how valuable firewood and rice were, was silently glad that Lord Shengfu was different from him.
General Liang stared at her with chills on the back of her neck. Anyu couldn't help but touch his collar, looked around, and asked out of curiosity: "General Liang, over there with A Rong... why is he not moving? We can't stop all activities. Alright?"
"If they use fire thunder in large numbers like this, they can't help but cause damage to Shou'an City, and they will also have a lot of impact on themselves."
General Liang looked toward the outside of the city through the craftsmen who were urgently summoned to repair the city gate, and replied to him in a calm tone.
Anyu listened to General Liang's introduction in surprise, and was surprised by the thinking of the coach of A Rong's team: "Does this count as killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred to themselves?"
Who would have thought that while they were squatting on the tower eating sand, Ajong outside the city was not idle either.
Either he didn't throw it far enough, and it blew up his comrades and their horses; or the fire thunder in his hand exploded directly before he could use it.
Even more talented, he almost threw the fire thunder onto the coach's chariot!
"No wonder that arrogant thing disappeared!" Anyu still remembers the arrow that Coach A Rong shot at him!
As he spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up: "General Liang, Xiaohou has a way to rush through the Arong army outside the city, but you have to use some of the fire thunder to come over!"
"..." General Liang didn't expect Anyu to still remember Huo Lei.
Just as he was about to decline, a sound of horns suddenly came from outside the city.
"This is..." Anyu looked towards the city gate in surprise.
The horn sounds sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember them.
"This is the opponent's call for a battle." Commander Cen came over at some point and looked at General Liang, "I just don't know, General... whether you will accept it or not."
