The fake eunuch who lurked in the palace

"Major General, Li City is ahead."

The guard looked at Zhou Pan and hesitated to speak. With three thousand of them, there was no way they could feed Licheng. If there was an ambush in the city, they would be just fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.

Because of personal grudges, the marshal did such a thing. He really lacked the courage to do so.

Not wanting the soldiers to die in vain, but happy to see them die, the guards were somewhat resentful.

"Major General, we will go into the city later to check the situation. You can just wait here."

"Why bother? The marshal only asked us to attack the city, but he didn't say we wanted to go in." Zhou Pan smiled.

The guard blinked and didn't understand what Zhou Pan meant, but he soon understood.

Three carts of gunpowder blew down the city gate and pushed it all the way.

"General, Zhou Pan did not enter the city. Instead, he used gunpowder to clear the way and exploded whatever he saw." The guard reported the situation to Guan Cao.

Guan Cao's face turned dark and he used gunpowder to blow up the city. It was really their fault!

An empty city was wasting gunpowder like this. The Chu State's military inventory was very sufficient! ! !

After pinching his eyebrows, Cao Guan stood up and sat down again. In this situation, it was too late to take away the gunpowder in the tunnel.

If he moves here, Su Xian will definitely press in.

"Stay back." Guan Cao breathed out. He was helpless when he encountered someone who didn't act according to common sense.

"Come one over there."

Zhou Pan drank water and pointed to the left. The guard immediately moved the trebuchet to the left.

When the two explosives went down, there was a loud bang, and then, like a wave sweeping over the house, the house exploded and rose into the sky.

The huge movement made everyone lose their balance and fell to the ground.

The guards looked at the dusty place, and their throats twitched. They had to be close now, and they might not be able to find the bones anymore...

"Major General, it's really scary. They really have no good intentions." The guard murmured.

Zhou Pan waited for the explosion to stop, then got up from the ground and said, "Continue."

"Since they handed over Li City, we can't let it down." Zhou Pan's tone was cold.

"drive!"

After crossing the stream, Li Yile stopped his horse. At some point, the moon faded away and bright colors appeared on the horizon.

Looking in the direction of Huancheng, Li Yi raised his eyes.

After rushing all night, we finally arrived.

"Take a rest for half an hour."

After giving the horse to the bodyguard, Li Yi sat down on the grass, took out the dry food, and ate it quietly.

The Qin State had strong soldiers and horses, and they could make mistakes, but they did not have the capital to make mistakes on their own side.

If the final force is lost, it will be up to Liang Meng.

Knowing that Guan Cao had arrived, how could Li Yi target Li City?

Huancheng is not big, but it is enough to alert the Rong Kingdom and slap the Qin Kingdom in the face.

"Are you all awake?"

Seeing that it was almost time, Li Yi shouted.

"Fight!" Everyone shouted in unison, their fighting spirit rising to the sky.

"Then let's go." Li Yi took the lead in riding his horse, and the group was majestic, like tigers descending the mountain.

With 20,000 people, it was impossible to hide this movement. The defenders of Huancheng were all stunned. Why did they end up here instead of attacking Li City?

It’s my uncle’s! ! !

Ignoring the scolding, the guard hurriedly summoned the guards, set up their bows and crossbows, burned hot oil, and put themselves on full alert, trying to resist the Chu army's attack on the city.

The distress letter has been sent out, but the large army is at Cao Guan's place. Even if Cao Guan sends troops to support immediately, it will be beyond his reach.

The guard looked at the dusty place with an extremely solemn expression.

Judging from this movement, there are many people coming, and Huancheng may not be able to defend it.

"Go and shout, if they open the city gate, I won't kill anyone."

"If it doesn't open, don't blame Gunpowder for being ruthless." Li Yi spoke to the guard with piercing eyes.

The guard general of Huancheng would not open the city gate just because of Li Yi's threats. The atmosphere was extremely solemn. Li Yi looked at the top of the city from a distance and waved his hand.

Five thousand people immediately mounted their horses and galloped towards the city gate, carrying the baggage behind them in front of them.

"Fire arrows!"

Seeing the Chu army rushing over, the guard shouted.

Densely packed arrows flew down immediately. As if anticipating this scene, the guard only rushed halfway before changing direction.

The five thousand people began to disperse, two thousand people went to the left, two thousand people to the right, and the middle thousand people rushed to the front, holding up the spears in their hands.

The banging sounds continued one after another, and the guards were beaten so hard that they dared not stand up. Although the arrows were shot, they were not accurate.

Taking this opportunity, the two teams on the left and right dispersed again, with only two hundred people charging. They took out gunpowder from the package, calculated the distance, lit it and threw it towards the city gate.

As soon as the sound stopped, another team took over.

Although the guards tried their best to stop him, the bullets were concentrated in that area and the range was astonishingly long. Before they could do anything, they were shot through their bodies.

"Second Prince, can I capture Huancheng within half an hour?"

Li Yi looked at the battle in the distance and asked Bug.

Buge lowered his eyes slightly. Even without the army, Su Xian could still capture Huancheng and bring them here just to let them see the power of the guns.

Use actions to warn that if the Rong Kingdom dares to take the opportunity to cause chaos, Huancheng will be their fate.

"Why does it take half an hour? Huancheng will be destroyed in a moment at most."

"With this weapon, no one dares to bully the Chu State again. Marshal can rest easy." Buge said with a smile.

Li Yi raised the corner of his mouth and said, "I think so too. I hope Rong and Chu can live in harmony."

After saying that, Li Yi took the long gun from the guard, loaded the bullet, and lowered his head to play with it.

Bug looked at the black muzzle of the gun and retreated unconsciously. He made up his mind that he would never become an enemy of Su Xian until he got the manufacturing diagram of the gun.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the city gate was blown down by a series of gunpowder blasts. Without any resistance, the defenders were quickly subdued.

Li Yi rode his horse and glanced at the frightened crowd.

"Your King Qin likes to massacre cities, but I don't have that hobby, so I won't kill anyone who surrenders."

"Don't harm the whole city because of your impulse." Li Yi's eyes fell on a group of men holding knives and he spoke leisurely.

"Can you guarantee that you won't kill women and children?" Someone gritted his teeth and said.

Li Yi leaned forward and said, "I will ascend the throne soon, you people, you are not worthy enough to let me lose my credibility."

"Don't waste time, I'm in a hurry to get back."

Seeing Li Yi's impatience, the men turned back to look at the women and children behind them, and finally put down the knives in their hands.

"Take them all away."

Handing over the escort task to the guards, Li Yi turned his horse's head and led the two thousand avant-garde guards out of Huancheng.

After bombing all night, Zhou Pan nodded with satisfaction when he saw wasteland everywhere he looked.

"Walk."

After calling the guards, Zhou Pan did not continue the bombardment. It was already broad daylight and he did not have many soldiers after all. It would take almost no effort for Guan Cao to lead his men over and capture them.

Just accept it as soon as you see fit.

Although Tian Jie will lead an army to support him if there is a situation, nothing is 100% safe.
