The gates of Daliang City, which had been prosperous and peaceful for decades, were closed, and the businessmen from various countries who stayed in the city stayed in their respective residences peacefully, not daring to show their faces outside.

Businessmen who don't go out have their own channels to obtain information in private. If they travel a lot between countries, they will always encounter some emergencies.

They are all people who traveled north and south and fought with their lives. The war between countries has never stopped. It is not unheard of that a city that belonged to this country the day before woke up and changed hands the next day, but this directly hit the capital. is still rare.

After acquiring the State of Zhao, the State of Qin moved towards the State of Wei so quickly. Is this planning to annex all the other countries?

Merchants value profits, and they are most sensitive to changes between countries. Different countries have different coins, different characters, and different prices for the things they sell. Only by understanding the relationship between countries can they obtain the greatest benefit from it.

Unlike the ministers above the court, the merchants who were unable to go out due to the martial law in the city should do whatever they want, and even have the mind to exchange the news they have received.

As for how many of these businessmen are spies from various countries, it is uncertain.

I heard that the king of Wei passed away, and the crown prince has not yet succeeded to the throne. Now that the army is overwhelming, the crown prince may only be a crown prince in this life, and will not be the king of Wei.

I heard that the ministers of the Wei State were trying to repel the Qin soldiers. The prince pretended to be the prince and had quietly left Daliang and went to several other countries to ask for help.

It is said that......

Everyone got different news, everyone's news gathered together, as if the play in the theater had begun, people couldn't help but want to dig out the things hidden in it.

On the streets of the city, except for the soldiers who walked quickly past from time to time, only the carriages of the ministers were left. All the people closed their doors and hid at home, waiting for the result of the siege.

But in the end, the lives of these ordinary people will not be threatened. The people in the city cannot be attacked, and the people in the city are not allowed to burn, kill and loot. This has always been the rule. The common people are existences that neither side can touch.

If it weren't for this, the merchants in the city wouldn't be in the mood to stay here to exchange news.

At the city gate, Yan Zhi and Meng Tian stood at the front and looked at the soldiers above the city gate pointing their arrows at them, and asked all the soldiers behind them to change their shields to guard against violent attacks on them before turning their attention to At the gate of the city stood Wei Xiang, who was dressed in fine clothes and looked dignified.

Looking at the two young generals not far away with a gloomy expression, Wei Xiang hid his fists in his sleeves and said something in a low voice to the people around him, then took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "My king is equal to the king of Qin." Wang, now at the funeral, there are two generals who have blocked the water around Daliang, but you don't even give this little face?"

Meng Tian cleared his throat, expressing his regret for King Wei's matter, "Wei bullied South Korea's weakness, and the army marched straight into Xinzheng. I, Qin, have never been used to bullying the weak. Is it wrong to take the leader and bring justice?"

Meng Tian grinned and said, "If Lord Xiangbang opens the city and asks you to surrender, the King of Wei will be the prince of my king, and we will take care of the affairs behind him." Light, there is no need for you to worry about it."

"Presumptuous!" Flicking his sleeves, Wei Xiang sneered at Meng Tian, ​​who looked at Meng Tian with a gloomy face, "Wei and South Korea share the same roots, even if there is a dispute, why do you need Qin?" Send troops?"

"South Korea has belonged to Qin State for 30 years, and has long been a citizen of Qin State. Now that Wei State has reached the door, how can I, Qin State, stand on the sidelines?" Han Sheng said, Yan Zhi's lips curled into a cold arc, and he caught a glimpse of the signal from the corner of his eyes. After seeing the traces, he opened his mouth even more mercilessly, "The capable people in the world live here, Wei Guo has this ability, if Xiangbang surrenders at this time, Wei Guo returns to Qin, and other people bully here in the future, my Qin army will not look at it coldly. "

After all, it is the land of Daqin in the end. If one comes, one can fight. Only one name in the world is enough.

Hearing what Yan Zhi said, Wei Xiang's face became even more gloomy. He thought that what he said just now was unreasonable enough, but he didn't expect this to be more nonsense. Where did South Korea come from Qin 30 years?

Sending water workers to the state of Qin obviously exhausted the national strength of the state of Qin. Who would have expected that the king of Qin would be able to hit the right direction at a young age, and really built a canal for the benefit of the people in Guanzhong.

After all, the young man is still a little immature, and he can't hold his breath if he uses a little trickery. If Meng Ao, Wang Jian and other veterans are leading the troops at this time, I'm afraid Daliang will be really dangerous.

And this young man who dared to go out to the game without the slightest precaution, let's stay here, even if the death of these two people in Daliang will make King Qin send more troops, but it can be delayed for a while, and the soldiers who stay out And when the envoys came back, Qin had no energy to stare at them anymore.

Hope that stuff works.

A fierce light flashed in his eyes, Wei Xiang didn't speak any more, he just walked a few steps to the side to let the city gate out, if it wasn't for his expression, Meng Tian would have thought that this person gave up resistance and was about to let them enter the city .

However, things will not be that simple.

As soon as Wei Xiang steadied his footsteps, hundreds of cattle rushed out from the city. If it weren't for the lack of fire on the cattle and the sharp knives on their horns, they even thought that Wei Guo wanted to learn from Qi Guo to use the fire ox array to solve the problem. It's a crisis.

But with hundreds of cattle, trying to break through their encirclement is simply a dream.

I always feel that something is wrong. Seeing that Meng Tian has asked the soldiers around him to change their spears to rush up to slaughter the cattle, he glimpsed that the arrows shining coldly on the tower had been replaced with burning rockets. Shrink, "Everyone, retreat!"

It was a little late to find out.

Only in time to pull Meng Tian back and shield the soldiers within twenty feet around him, Yan Zhi's expression became serious, and the black iron shield made a huge movement on the ground, as if an earthquake had come suddenly.

These cattle are not tied with sharp knives, but saltpeter and sulfur that explode when exposed to fire.

How can there be these things at this time?

The bow and arrow with open flames shot at the cattle and exploded directly. The soldiers who had not had time to retreat subconsciously blocked the front door with their shields, but they were still more or less injured.

Flesh and blood were scattered all around, Yan Zhi scolded himself for being careless in his heart, and Meng Tian, ​​who looked equally cautious, looked at each other and then each clenched their weapons, playing tricks before the battle, really thinking that they have no temper when they are young?

Of the hundreds of oxen, only the front ones were blown to pieces, and when the rear ones also came here, the bow and crossbowmen on the tower would fire another round of rockets, but they had no chance.

Their own bows and crossbowmen in the rear did not move, because at this time, Xuanjia Cangyun had already appeared.

The Xuanjia soldiers who came out of nowhere, carrying swords and shields, flew directly from the ground to the city wall several feet high in a posture that did not conform to common sense.

The Cangyun soldiers who landed directly after finding the right position looked at the stunned crossbowmen and sneered, and in just a few breaths, all the Wei soldiers were killed by the black iron shield or Mo Dao.

In the Cangyun Army, apart from the soldiers transferred from the Ruishi camp at the beginning, nearly one-third of the newly recruited soldiers can directly fight.

These hundreds of people landed on the city wall with great precision like magic soldiers, catching Wei Bing by surprise. The saltpeter and sulfur on the cattle below were not ignited with an open flame, and they were quickly killed by the angry guards and left on the spot.

They could see the explosion just now, and if they accidentally exploded again, they would still be injured.

It was completely unexpected that Qin soldiers would descend from the sky directly on top of their towers. I don't know what is going on in the city now. The Qin soldiers outside are going crazy one by one. Wei Xiang's expression changed, and he immediately asked the left and right to close the city gate.

However, how could the Xuanjia soldiers who came down from the city wall give them a chance to close the city gate?

Each of them is an elite soldier of one hundred, leaving some people on the city wall to take some bows and crossbows on the spot to guard against accidents, and the others come down from the city wall with a force on their legs, and block the soldiers in front of them with a knife and a shield. Repel them all.

Looking at Qin Bing who rushed forward with a grim face, Wei Xiangdong did not move. If he dared to go out of the city today, he was already ready to die.

The lives of these two people were too high to die in the killing weapons offered by the Taoist priests. I don't know when Qin Guo had such ghost-like Xuanjia soldiers again. This Daliang City could no longer be defended.

With the battle here, the siege at the west city gate was about to begin. Yan Zhi and the others did not enter the city in a hurry, and asked Wei Xiang and the surviving Wei soldiers to be guarded, then put down their shields and waited for Jiang Yan to come over.

Their focus today is not attacking the city, nor is it Prime Minister Wei, even if they kill this man and enter the city, so what, there are [-] Wei soldiers in the city, it is hard to kill them all.

Also, where did the gunpowder come from in Daliang City?

In addition to blood stains and black stains on his face, Yan Zhi looked extremely cautious. If there were more of those things buried in the city, no matter how many people there were, they would not be able to withstand such consumption.

Qin Bing was quickly replaced on the city wall, and the city gate was firmly in his hands. Meng Tian's expression was also bad. If Yan Zhi hadn't pulled him back in time, it would have been him when the spear pierced the cattle. When the bombed flesh and blood flew everywhere.

Asking people not to touch the corpses of the farming cattle for the time being, Meng Tian looked coldly at Wei Xiang who was silent with his eyes closed, squeezed the long sword hanging on his waist, but still didn't say anything.

Not long after, Jiang Yan, who led 20 people to intercept him, finally came back, and behind him was a middle-aged man who was dressed poorly but was obviously pampered and was so frightened that he couldn't stand up.

When the man saw Wei Xiang surrounded by Qin soldiers under the city gate, he staggered and rushed over, "Xiangbang, let's surrender, we can't beat, we can't beat!"

He said twice in a row that he couldn't beat him, which showed that this person was scared out of his wits by Jiang Yan and the others.

Originally, he could still stand there with his eyes closed, but after hearing this voice, Wei Xiang opened his eyes violently, and then shook his sleeves resentfully.

As a prince, how can he take the initiative to surrender? Now that the king is dead, if the prince surrenders, what is the point of their perseverance these days?

Is it possible that the state of Wei is going to be the same as the state of Zhao, not that the city was destroyed and the country was destroyed, but the monarch voluntarily surrendered?

He waved his hand to ask Jiang Yan to hold him down, Yan Zhi twitched the corners of his mouth, not in the mood to listen to the man's cries, next to him, Meng Tian had already seen some clues from the dead cattle.

The author says:

This is not full-fledged gunpowder, but something occasionally produced by Taoist priests who made alchemy. Taoist priests who made alchemy appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, so there must have been Taoist priests who fried furnaces during the Warring States Period.
