Xia Bao frowned: "I am here well, what's wrong with me?"
The messenger's neck shrank: "Your Majesty, something happened in the city!"
Xia Bao's eyes narrowed: "What happened in the city?"
The messenger said with a mournful face: "Your Majesty, the convoy heading towards the South City Gate and the North City Gate all stopped when they were about to reach the two city gates!"
"Then, those coachmen untied their horses and turned around to rush out of the East City Gate!"
"Those people are not coachmen, but elite barren state cavalry!"
A glimmer of wisdom flashed in Xia Bao's eyes: "Are the carriages driving towards the South City Gate and North City Gate all empty?"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The messenger wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "They are all empty."
Xia Bao pointed forward: "Because, only the west road is the carriage that transports my money and food."
"Don't worry, our army has intercepted King Huangzhou's convoy, wait a moment. They can take back the money and food!"
suddenly.
A trace of doubt came to Xia Bao's mind: "Why don't the Huangzhou people fight out through the south city gate and the north city gate, but turn around and fight out through the east city gate?"
The messenger gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the convoy heading to the east city gate has left the city!"
"The guard at the East City Gate disappeared with his soldiers!"
"The people we sent to monitor the east city gate all died on the tower!"
"What?"
The general manager of Laifu was shocked: "Is the guard of the East City Gate one of theirs?"
"Isn't that the guard of the West City Gate we just captured?"
"Did we fall into a trap?"
Xia Bao's face gradually darkened, and he said bitterly: "Be bold and remove the word "isn't it"?
"We fell into Lao Jiu's trick of seducing the west and attacking the east!"
"The guard of the East City Gate is his!"
The general manager of Laifu gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, let me lead the people to chase him!"
"snort......"
Xia Bao raised his eyelids and rushed forward: "No need!"
"As long as you catch Death Old Nine, my money and food will come back on their own."
Laifu's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty is wise!"
at this time.
"Da da da......"
Another messenger rushed from the front: "Report..."
Xia Bao's eyes brightened: "Did you catch Huangzhou King and Du Yue'er?"
The messenger said with a cry: "Your Majesty, something serious has happened!"
Suddenly.
Xia Bao's heart sank: "Tell me clearly, what's going on?"
"Did you accidentally injure King Huangzhou and Du Yue'er?"
The messenger flew off his horse, knelt down in front of Xia Bao and cried: "Your Majesty, we have been defeated!"
"What?"
Xia Bao looked in disbelief: "This is impossible!"
"This is absolutely impossible!"
"There are only one or two thousand people around Lao Jiu, how can he defeat my army?"
"You bitch, you cry and make me upset. Come on, tell me...if you cry again, I will kill your whole family!"
The messenger immediately did not dare to cry anymore!
"Does the King of Huangzhou secretly have a large army?"
"no!"
Xia Bao roared: "Then how could my army be defeated?"
The messenger then said timidly: "At the beginning, we surrounded King Huangzhou's convoy. The general ordered a charge to prepare to capture King Huangzhou and Du Yue'er alive!"
"Unexpectedly, the carriages were empty. There was a box inside that could spray poisonous smoke. When our Yangzhou soldiers rushed over, the box could spray poisonous smoke. First, all the cavalrymen were poisoned to the ground. Then, the poisonous gas Keep floating in all directions.”
"At that time, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the war horses went crazy after inhaling the poisonous gas. They began to charge back and dispersed the army!"
The ordering soldier exaggerated vigorously: "The poisonous smoke is also very strange. It seems to have eyes. It chases our soldiers and scares the army into fleeing!"
Xia Baofang's face was full of confusion: "Does Lao Jiu know sorcery?"
The messenger nodded sharply: "General Pan said the same thing."
At this time.
"Run!"
The defeated troops in front finally counterattacked!
When General Pan saw Xia Bao, he came in a state of embarrassment and said, "My lord, I am incompetent and I have come here to apologize!"
A cold light flashed in Xia Bao's eyes, and he drew his sword. The light of the sword flashed past General Pan's neck like a rainbow: "Idiot!"
"Isn't it true that the Pan family is the general of Yangzhou? How could the children they raised be so useless?"
"You deserve to be damned for delaying my important mission!"
General Pan covered the blood in his throat, his eyes widened, and he fell off his horse and died.
Then.
"puff......"
The blood line between General Pan's throat broke, and blood burst out, staining the ground red.
At this time,
Xia Bao's personal guards rushed forward with knives. They swung their sabers and slashed with one blow. They blocked the defeated troops in front of Xia Bao and shouted sternly: "Your Majesty has an order. Anyone who retreats again - kill!"
Suddenly, the scene became bloody.
The defeated soldiers stopped their frantic escape and stood shivering in front of the summer storm.
Xia Bao looked at these defeated troops and was furious.
He yelled at the moon: "Damn old Jiu, no matter how you act like a monster, you can't escape!"
"Come here, give me an order to General Shangguan. I want to mobilize 30,000 private troops!"
The chief manager of Laifu reminded with some worry: "Your Majesty, if we use private troops now, we may be noticed by the agents deployed by the imperial court in Yangzhou City!"
Xia Bao looked at the sky and said, "It doesn't matter!"
"As long as we can withdraw our troops and return to camp before dawn, we won't be discovered."
Only then did Laifu send someone to say: "Send an order to General Shangguan to lead 30,000 troops to pursue eastward. Your Majesty will arrive soon!"
"yes!"
The soldiers were informed that they were being pardoned, so they mounted their horses and headed for the Yangzhou camp.
Shortly after.
Summer Storm arrived on horseback at a scene filled with quicklime.
He looked at the white ground, listened to the wailing of blindfolded Yangzhou, and said irritably: "Get rid of all these useless people!"
"yes!"
His soldiers rode forward and chopped down the injured Yangzhou soldiers one after another. The war horses also did the same.
The rivers of blood were disgusting.
Suddenly, the place fell silent!
Xia Bao pointed at the carriage roads: "Pull all these things back and see how they are done?"
"yes!"
One by one, the guards of Yangzhou Palace jumped on the carriage.
Then, a sudden change occurred.
"Swish swish..."
Small crossbow arrows were shot from the carriage, directly penetrating their bodies, bringing out a stream of blood: "There is a mechanism!"
At the same time, the holes in the wooden boxes were closed with wooden boards, and small flames ignited, igniting the bamboo tubes containing kerosene inside, and burning the closed wooden boxes full of lime.
Immediately afterwards.
"Boom boom boom..."
The wooden boxes exploded!
Balls of flames shot up into the sky, and the earth collapsed, killing all the Yangzhou Prince's guards on the carriage.
The remaining limbs flew around, like a punishment from heaven.
Hundreds of wooden boxes exploded with terrifying force, wooden boards were shot randomly, and wheels rolled in the air, which was extremely scary.
In a closed space full of dust, if the temperature is too high, a dust explosion will occur.
Xia Tian is a professional at making explosions. He can do it even without gunpowder.
certainly.
He always does things step by step, never leaving secrets for people to decipher. Everything will be used where it should be used and will never be wasted.
The summer storm scares me!
Is God trying to kill him?
Or was it Lao Jiu who did it?
