"Hou Feiqing, you wait here for Gongshu and everyone, I'll go to Shuangfei Pass first to see what's going on."
Pu Jiadi didn't take it seriously at this time, so although his expression was stern, there was no urgency. He quickly put on his armor and helmet, tidied up his body, then mounted his horse and led the army to Shuangfei Pass.
At the moment, he and the guards at Shuangfei Pass had almost the same idea. Faced with the sudden attack, the powerful country that had always been in a leadership position only felt offended and angry. They were arrogant and absolutely confident and did not think anyone could break through their defenses.
After the east gate of Shuangfei Pass was easily breached, the west gate faced a test. At this time, when the soldiers guarding the gate saw that they were about to approach the city, they finally realized that the crisis was imminent. Everything was not as simple as they imagined, so they began to be on guard. The state of city defense.
They secretly thought that there were only more than 10,000 defenders in Shuangfei City, but fortunately, Shuangfei Pass was a dangerous pass. The road was narrow and long, making it easier to defend. It was not suitable for a full-scale attack by the army. They were completely fearless of the pressure of the army and only needed to defend briefly. , then——
Bang——
There was a rumbling sound of thunder in the distance, and a bombardment of thunder from the sky and fire from the ground. All the defense posts and checkpoints in front of the pass were completely paralyzed. They saw the concentrated firepower of the opponent, using long-range attack weapons that they had never seen before. A spark flew out, bursting out with earth-shattering power.
What the hell kind of trick is this?
The guards of Shuangfei City were stunned: "What is this? This...couldn't it be an artillery piece?"
"I, I don't know, what should I do now?"
They couldn't stop them at all. The other party was simply cheating. Before the people arrived, they used artillery to blast them across the city, destroying all the defensive traps they had prepared in advance.
The self-confidence of the guards at Shuangfei Pass was also destroyed by this. What other plans did they have originally? Oh, they just planned to shout from high altitude to ridicule Ye Jun, or throw spears, throw iron caltrops, and pour kerosene downwards. Shi... saw that the other party was in chaos, looking helpless and embarrassed...
But now it is obvious that none of this is possible, and the situation has even taken a turn, and the target of the scurrying has become them instead.
"We can't hold on like this anymore. If we don't leave, we will all die here!"
"how so?"
"The support is here, why hasn't General Pu arrived yet?"
"How long has it been? How could they arrive so quickly!"
Yes, how long had it passed before Ye Jun broke through the east gate and marched straight into Shuangfei Pass. Not only would it be a narrow escape for others, it would also be a lot of hardships, but Ye Jun was better off.
Shuangfei Pass was finally lost.
Just when the defenders abandoned the city pass and were defeated, Pu Jiadi arrived. When he saw black smoke billowing over Shuangfei Pass from a distance, the sound of horns shook the valley, and the dull bombing sound was like thousands of waves crashing on the mountains. , even he felt obviously frightened here.
He suddenly stretched out his arms and stopped marching.
"It's Ye Army, it's Ye Army's artillery!"
Pu Jiadi recognized this object, and even more recognized the scene caused by this object. Hearing this movement made him furious, and he tightened the reins in his hands.
The deputy general behind him was surprised: "General, is it the Ye army? They actually fought back?"
"Okay, I thought I would be invincible if I got a few powerful artillery pieces, right? Their Ye country is so ignorant!"
The Beiyuan Army was cursing and angry.
"I'm afraid the situation at Shuangfei Pass is critical now..."
Once Shuangfei Pass is lost, the rear area will also become a serious place. You can imagine the anxiety and anger in Pu Jiadi's heart at this time. He can't wait to go up and fight Ye's army for three days and three nights immediately. However, he also Knowing that the fall of Shuangfei Pass at this time is equivalent to the opposing army occupying a favorable position.
Moreover, he did not consider the importance of this trip, was in a hurry and lacked manpower and preparations, and did not know the enemy's situation. It would be the worst if he rashly engages in battle at this time.
After second thoughts, Pu Jiadi first sent someone to find out the situation, while he and the rest of the troops turned back and re-formulated the battle plan.
As soon as they entered the camp, they saw Hou Feiqing walking over quickly. He asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Didn't you go to Shuangfei Pass? Why did you come back so soon?"
Obviously Hou Feiqing never cared about the enemy attack at Shuangfei Pass.
"The Shuangfei Pass is broken."
Pu Jiadi said coldly.
After hearing this, Hou Feiqing reacted for a while before realizing something was wrong.
"broken?!"
He stepped forward and grabbed Pu Jiadi's arms, and said anxiously: "Why did it break? Didn't you go?"
Pu Jiadi had a gloomy face and gritted his teeth: "Before I went... it was broken."
"Impossible, how can such a thing be possible? Are you crazy? Shuangfei Pass is built with huge bricks, and the location is dangerous. Even if it is defeated by a wheel battle, it will not be broken so quickly. It will ignite until you lead the troops to support. , there was not a moment's delay in the process. Even if the opponent's troops are very fast and the army is pressing down, it will still take time to break through from the east gate to the west gate, then..."
Before Hou Feiqing could produce any more evidence to prove the absurdity and comedy of this matter, Pu Jiadi silenced him with just one sentence.
"It's true, Hou Feiqing, Shuangfei Pass has been broken, I witnessed it with my own eyes!"
Hou Feiqing asked: "...who is he?"
"Ye Jun."
"Hahahaha..." Hou Feiqing couldn't stop laughing and waved his hands quickly: "Who do you think you are? Ye Jun? Who believes this?"
Pu Jiadi's expression did not change in the face of his doubts, and he only said sternly: "You can't do it if you don't believe it. Even the Ye army, they now have powerful artillery, and ordinary city guards can't resist it!"
Hou Feiqing paused, the smile fell from his face, and his expression became ugly little by little.
This thing is actually true.
"Is the artillery really as powerful as you say?"
A voice as cold as the moon sounded, and a young man in a blue robe trimmed with fox fur and his entourage came out of the tent.
Pu Jiadi's eyebrows trembled and he looked back: "Is the public losing to everyone?"
Yes, it was already this hour, and he should have arrived at the military camp long ago.
"The artillery you are talking about, based on the description in the letter, I guess it must be modified by Huolei. It combines the formula of equipment and gunpowder. And I have recently developed a firearm, which is made of iron, cylindrical, and To make a medicine, put a stone into his mouth, bypass a line, and use fire to spread it." He said eloquently.
He spoke in detail, but Pu Jiadi was momentarily stopped by the question. He hesitated and said: "What does it look like... The distance was too far before, so I couldn't see it carefully. I could only see that the bullet was vaguely black, and it was thrown from a high place. It can reach hundreds of steps away and explode when it hits the ground. It is terrifyingly powerful and can injure people more than ten meters away."
"How can it reach such a long distance?" Gongshu Jiruo was stunned for a moment, and after some consideration, he said, "You said you saw Zheng Quchi in Wubao?"
Pu Jiadi nodded: "Yes, someone in the army's deputy general recognized her. She was at the newly built battle fort in Ubao at that time. I think the origin of this artillery has something to do with her."
Gongshu Jiruo just said lightly: "If it were her, it wouldn't be surprising." (End of Chapter)
