Also because of this incident, the common people joked that if they can't survive in the future, they should go to Xinghan City and help plant the land outside, so they can have a bite to eat!

In fact, this kind of land is better than what some common people eat.

Although it was just a joke, it also expressed the sadness and helplessness of the people.

"Dangdang!"

Hearing a crisp sound, a soldier took the lead and dropped his shield, and then disarmed.

"What are you doing! The general hasn't said surrender yet!"

Wu Yongcheng came back to his senses, and suddenly saw a soldier on the side drop his shield and was about to unload it, and he was immediately angry.

It's just that the soldier's face didn't change when he heard the words.

"Joining the army is just to protect the whole family in the city, but now that the soldiers of Xinghan City are taking over, how can they use the knife? What's more, the people in power in Xinghan City are much better than many people.

Even if so many disaster victims went to Xinghan City, they would all have something to eat. In this way, even if Xinghan City takes over Chubian City, there is no need to worry about what bad things they will do. Maybe it will be better than now. "

The soldier said something calmly.

In fact, the soldiers have all said in private that it would be great if Chuibian City could be controlled by Xinghan City, and there might be many benefits.

After all, the people over there are all living in a very prosperous life. If the city of Weibian also enters the city of Xinghan, it will naturally make a lot of changes.

The rest of the soldiers were startled when they heard this, and then dropped their weapons one by one and began to remove their armor.

"That's right. What's going on in Xinghan City? It's much better than here. I serve as a soldier in order to get a salary, but the military salary is kept being withheld, and the family will not be able to eat. It's better to quit!"

"If this city is guarding for us, someone will help defend it this time. What about the next time? The soldiers in Xinghan City are so powerful, they will definitely be able to defend it, and my family will definitely be safe!"

The soldiers all had their own reasons, and they didn't listen to their general at the moment.

In a moment, the soldiers disarmed and surrendered.

Seeing this scene, Bai Yi let the unarmed soldiers leave on their own.

They have no armor anymore, and they can't fight back, not to mention that even if they have weapons, they are not afraid of the elite in her hands.

Letting these people go is also to release a kind of goodwill, so that the rest of the people can feel at ease.

Nothing will happen if you surrender, she Bai Yi will not kill the surrendered soldiers.

The remaining soldiers then all surrendered.

Seeing this scene, Wu Yongcheng opened his mouth and sighed indifferently, then raised his sword across his neck.

"Xinghan City is really good. With Xinghan City guarding this city, I think it will be able to fear the Tartars in the future, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. However, the general will be loyal to the Great Cang Kingdom, how can he surrender to the enemy?

The general is incompetent at the end of the day, the Chubian City is lost in the hands of the general, and the general has no face to face the emperor. "

After finishing speaking, Wu Yongcheng exerted force in his hands, and then cut himself off before all the soldiers.

Bai Yi raised her head and opened her mouth seeing this scene.

"It's a character."

After a while, Bai Yi said, "Contain his body, let the Feng Shui master find a good place to bury it, and engrave this matter on his tombstone for future generations to look up to."

This kind of integrity really makes Bai Yi admire a little, after all, there are really not many people who can die for the country with their own lives.

Chapter 529 It's All About Me

Chuibian City was successfully captured, and Bai Yi then asked people to lighten up the supplies in the city, and appease the people by the way.

After completing these tasks, Bai Yi left eight thousand elite guards to guard the city of Chuibian, while he led his people towards Jiyun City.

As long as it is not far from Da Cang Kingdom, there is a cement road that can directly lead to Jiyun City in Jiang Country, which is extremely convenient.

It's just that this kind of road is cheaper for those Tartars, and these Tartars can also use this road to quickly reach Jiyun City.

The situation outside Jiyun City at this moment is not very good.

Zanda Yuanxi, who knew about the food shortage, had already ordered the soldiers to attack one after another, hoping to take down Jiyun City as soon as possible.

It's just that Sending Cloud City was not so easy to take down. After so many days of continuous fighting, many corpses were left behind, but the Sending Cloud City was still not seen to be taken down.

However, Zanda Yuanyan is also keenly aware that the other party's consumption is also very high.

At the beginning, the opponent's arrows were extremely dense, but now the arrows are a little sparse.

Realizing this, Zanda Yuanxi was overjoyed immediately, he knew that it should be soon to win Jiyun City!

On this day, Zanda Yuanxi and all the soldiers were making the final mobilization. It was already at this time, and the food and grass were almost gone.

Now is the time to make a last-ditch effort.

"Boys, after eating the dry rations in your hands, you are going to fight with your back. Have you seen the rations over there?"

Zha Dayuan pointed to the side. There was not much food left. After taking a breath, he waved his hand directly.

In an instant, there was a person holding a torch and throwing it directly into the pile of grain and grass. In an instant, the flames burst out and dyed a cloud of black smoke.

The cattle and sheep they brought were almost eaten up. These were the food and grass they brought, some of which were plundered.

With an army of hundreds of thousands, these grains and grass seem to be a lot, but in fact they are not enough to feed their own army at all.

Now that he is burned, there is actually nothing distressing about it. After all, it is not enough for the big guys to take a bite. Burning in public can also stimulate the morale of your soldiers, so why not do it.

Sure enough, the soldiers panicked when they saw the granary being burned.

Without food, what would they do with so many of them here?Even if you go back to the grassland, you still need to eat on the way!

Therefore, the army fell into a panic in a short period of time.

Seeing this scene, Zanda Yuanxi yelled, "When the food and grass are burned, they will be burned. If you don't want to go hungry, then take down the opposite city and don't think about going home.

The way home is so long, and if you don’t have food, you will starve to death. What you can do now is to take down this city desperately. As long as you take down this city, you can live! "

Zhada Yuanxi roared again and again, indicating that the soldiers had no way out, and the only way was ahead, either to fight to the death or starve to death here.

Sure enough, after the words fell, the soldiers fell silent for a moment, then raised their scimitars, and there were bursts of shouts of killing in the army.

Morale has reached its peak at this moment.

Then set up the ladder and rushed towards the city wall.

From the side of Sending Cloud City, some arrows were shot sparsely.

The arrows were consumed too quickly before, but now they have bottomed out.

The general who guarded the city was also helpless. He had already sent someone to urge him, but there was no replenishment of the luggage for a long time.

Without the suppression of the bow and arrow, rushing under the city wall immediately became much easier.

All the Tartars rushed directly towards the city wall with the belief that they must break the city.

All the food has been burned, and if the city is not destroyed, they will all be waiting to starve to death!

The sense of urgency and despair made them instantly braver than before.

At this moment, Bai Yi had brought people not far from the army, seeing that the battle here had also entered a fierce stage, and immediately got people to prepare the trebuchet.

The trebuchet is disassembled and can be assembled on the spot. There are too many troops in front, and it is not good for him to charge directly.

Bai Yi is ready to use the most powerful weapon in Xinghan City.

The catapults were assembled one by one, and the process was relatively slow.

By the time it was completely assembled, the walls of Sending Cloud City had already fallen.

Seeing this scene, Bai Yi waved his hand directly, and the soldiers guarding the trebuchet immediately began to load the explosives. Seeing that everything was ready, they ignited the fuze, and the soldiers in front immediately pressed the mechanism.

The gunpowder in the spoon was quickly thrown and flew forward.

The production of explosives is relatively much simpler than that of firecrackers.

Since there is no ability to make artillery or something, Lu Chensheng asked the craftsmen to make a trebuchet for throwing gunpowder.

When this thing first came out, the soldiers had already been trained many times.

Now it is much easier to operate this machine.

A round of gunpowder was thrown out, and the soldiers quickly stirred the winch to reset the spoon for the next round of throwing.

Bai Yi held the binoculars and looked closely into the distance.

At this moment, Zanda Yuanxi was extremely happy when he saw the city wall being broken.

Sure enough, the military books of the Han people were really well written, and the city that they had been unable to capture before was really broken now that they were so overwhelmed!

Zanda Yuanxi was riding on horseback, waving his hand to order the army to attack.

And at this moment, some dark things fell from the sky and fell directly towards the army.

Zha Da Yuanxi frowned, wondering what it was.

However, at this moment, these dark things exploded with a bang, and the soldiers on the side seemed to be under a strong attack, and were directly thrown away.

He could see clearly that there were even some soldiers whose bodies had become mutilated in the air.

Zanda Yuanxi was stunned. Looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't recover for a moment. The expression on his face was a little pale at this moment. He didn't know what happened, and he didn't know what to do at this moment.

The explosives fell among the crowd, and after they exploded, except for the soldiers who were blown away, the iron pieces contained in the explosives were also directly scattered and removed, knocking down a large area of ​​surrounding soldiers.

Wherever the explosives fall, there is a place to be emptied out. Looking at it from a distance, it makes people feel creepy.

Holding the binoculars, Bai Yi looked at the blank area formed by the explosives, and couldn't help but look stunned.

She was really pregnant before, and she was never present when these new weapons were being tested, and she never saw them at all.

Now this is the first time she has seen the power of such weapons, and she is really frightened.

Even Cheng Xue, who was at the side, was also watching this scene in a daze.

She has seen the experiment, but it is somewhat different from the actual combat in front of her.

Chapter 5 Thirty: The Crooked Technology Tree

"This is a crooked technology tree."

Bai Yi muttered to herself.

She thought of a sentence that Lu Chensheng had been chanting before.

What is it that the technology tree is completely distorted, to be honest, she doesn't really understand what the words mean, but after hearing what her husband said, she can't help but read it now.

The reason why Lu Chensheng said this is entirely because the artillery and firecrackers have not been built yet.

It's all right now, but the power of the gunpowder has begun to escalate.

It is actually very simple to increase the power of gunpowder.

The airtightness of the explosives is handled well, and then some iron pieces are placed inside, so that once it explodes, the fragments after the explosion will illuminate a dead zone.

It was because of the constant improvement of the power of the explosives, but the progress of artillery and firecrackers had not been smooth, which made Lu Chensheng sigh, this is a crooked technology tree.

Bai Yi just said it casually.

Cheng Xue's face was also somewhat surprised.

"Although in the early days, I heard the shopkeeper say that this weapon will change the battlefield in the future, but seeing it now, I am still a little shocked."

This lethality is too fierce.

Especially when the soldiers in front were extremely dense, after the explosives flew past, they basically formed a blank space as soon as they exploded.

It's really shocking to see it.

Thanks to such a weapon, it wasn't aimed at his own people. If he attacked the Xuanshui army a few times, he felt that even armor like his might not be able to stop it.

The army in front was also stunned at this moment. Under such an attack, they didn't know who was beating them, and they didn't know what to do at this moment.

Just listening to the roar, the people beside him fell down one after another.

The soldiers on the side were still filling the explosives quickly, and then quickly let the trebuchet fly into the crowd with the explosives.

The roar continued to sound, and the crowd in front continued to appear death zones.

After a while, Zanda Yuanxi finally came to his senses, turned his head and saw on a hillside directly behind him, there was actually a group of people watching him covetously.

Since he couldn't see how many people were there, he was a little panicked at the moment.

When did such a team come behind him?
