No correction

For a moment, the officials of Qi State were shocked, and stared blankly at the stone hill that was blown into rubble and scattered in all directions.

Although the blasting level of this gunpowder is not very good, but because of Qi'e's credit for picking manure for a whole year, the saltpeter extracted in this way is very pure, so the blasting effect is not bad.

Although it is far inferior to modern weapons, it is still possible to build a canal, blow up a city gate, and open a mine.

Qihou also secretly tugged at Wu Jiao's sleeve, Wu Jiao coughed lightly, put his hand aside, then cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, gentlemen, all of you have also seen it just now, this is what Jiu wanted to show. .”

After Wu Jiu said this, everyone came to their senses, and some people's ears were "buzzing", and their faces were full of frightened green vegetables.

Wu Jiu heard someone murmur, "This...is this the art of witchcraft?"

Wu Jiu smiled and said, "This is not the art of Wu Zhu, and Jiu is not some sorcerer, it's just a trick of some craftsmen."

Qi Hou also came to his senses, coughed quickly, and said calmly and gracefully: "Second brother, what is the name of this guy who can blow up mountains? So powerful?"

Wu Jiu said with a smile: "This is called gunpowder. Think about it, my lord. If this kind of gunpowder is used to fight against the city gate of Tan State, although the city gate of Tan State people is strong and there is a natural moat to block it, their gates will not be able to reach the gate." No matter how strong it is, can it be like a mountain? Even if it is like a mountain, it will be blown into powder by black powder. Your lord, this is the way to rectify it."

Upon hearing this, Marquis Qi clapped his hands and said, "Good idea! Second brother is really smart. If you have this kind of gunpowder, don't say it's Tan Guo. Is Qi Guo afraid that we won't be strong?"

When Doctor Qing heard this, they also responded one after another. They were all scared stupid by the black powder just now. At this time, some people came to their senses one after another. If they can use black powder to fight Tan Guo, it will take a month at most, no, half a month. If you can take Tan Guo down, just blow open the gate.

In this way, the eyes of all the senior officials are burning. If they can use black powder to shock the country of Tan, then the emperor who is far away in Luoshi can cut the seal of the country of Qi?I'm afraid I'll have to catch up soon and give him the title.

In just a flash, the unsolvable puzzle of attacking the country of Tan suddenly became a piece of fat at your fingertips. Many scholars and bureaucrats wanted to rush to lead the army to attack Tan. After all, if the country of Tan was really captured, it would be great The credit is not only to establish the majesty of the Qi State, but also to solve the great national crisis of the Qi State. It is definitely a job to increase the official status!

At this time, Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this matter was caused by the dispute, and Jiu wants to solve it by himself, otherwise he is afraid of attracting criticism. Therefore, please ask your lord to fulfill his request and send him to lead the army."

When Qihou heard this, he immediately felt unwilling. Although fighting Tan Guo has now become a good job like eating, a war is always a war. Qihou is absolutely reluctant to let Wu Jiu go to war. Besides, there is still the son. Zhao's lessons learned from the past, no matter how easy the battle is, there will be changes.

Earlier, the Marquis of Qi sent Prince Zhao to crusade against the state of Sui. He wanted him to make contributions and increase his achievements and prestige. However, there was already a big discrepancy between this life and his previous life, and Prince Zhao almost died in the state of Sui.

In this way, Marquis Qi will have a long memory, how could he let Wu Jiu go to attack Tan Guo, if something goes wrong, Marquis Qi will definitely regret it.

Marquis Qi frowned, and others didn't think about it, after all, Wu Jiu's status was already high enough, if this time he was contaminated with military power again, what would happen?

Wu Jiu saw Qihou's worry, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, my lord. Although Jiu has no experience in leading troops, he also knows that the key to this battle is speed and accuracy. He will go straight to the city gate of Tan Kingdom. It will take three days at most. It may be too late for Master Luo to get the news from Tan Guo."

Marquis Qi listened to Wu Jiu's words clearly and logically, and he also knew that the matter was obviously directed at Wu Jiu by the state of Chu, so Wu Jiu had a problem in his heart, and he was very strong, full of self-esteem, and wanted to solve it by himself.

At this time, Gao Xi sent a message to help Wu Jiu, saying: "Your Majesty, Gao Xi also thinks that Da Situ is a very good candidate."

When Qi Hou heard this, he really had no choice. Wu Jiu was such a man that even Gao Xi, who was always upright, was convinced and spoke good words for him. What can he do?

Qihou said helplessly: "Okay, I will appoint Da Situ as the general to crusade against Tan Guo!"

Wu Jiu quickly knelt down and said, "Yes, Jiu Ling's name will definitely live up to your majesty's expectations!"

The ministers thought that Wu Jiu brought them to the suburbs to delay the opportunity, and there was no good way to do it, but who knew that they were frightened for good or bad.

After everyone returned to the palace, Wu Jiu found Qi Hou again, followed Qi Hou to the small bedroom, and said: "Your Majesty, some people are still needed to make this gunpowder. Please, Your Majesty, send some trustworthy people to Jiu."

The reason why it is said to be "reliable" is because the craft of making black powder is very secret. If this craft is spread to other countries, then the Spring and Autumn Period will become the era of hot weapons. With hot weapons, isn't the world in chaos?

What's more, if other countries steal the skills, they will probably use them against Qi, so Wu Jiu asked Qihou to assign him some trustworthy craftsmen.

Qihou smiled and said, "This matter is actually so lonely that I thought of someone..."

The person Qihou thought of was Dong Guoya, of course. Before Dong Guoya became an official of great admonishment, he was a handyman from a humble background, doing all kinds of hard work, and finally went to the dining room to light a fire, and was valued by Wu Jiao.

Before that, Dong Guoya worked as a craftsman, carpenter, and coolie, built canals, and built palaces. Therefore, Dong Guoya actually knew craftsmen and craftsmen very well, and after he became an official, his relationship with low-level coolies was also the same. Best of all, never forgetting your roots.

Qihou asked Dong Guoya to recommend reliable craftsmen, which is very reliable.

Qi Hou was very happy because he saw the power of gunpowder, and said with a smile: "Second brother actually has the brains to study weapons, I don't even know."

Wu Jiu smiled, it wasn't that he was smart and knew how to study weapons, it was just that when he was in school, he saw it in a textbook, and it was just because when he saw it, he felt that the ancient people's method of extracting saltpeter, an important raw material for gunpowder, was really good. It's too weird, so I paid more attention to it.

Facts have proved that it is not only the ancient people recorded in Tiangong Kaiwu who extracted saltpeter in such a wonderful way. Later, in the late Qing Dynasty, before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, they also used such a wonderful way to extract saltpeter to a large extent.

At that time, Wu Jiu had a deep memory, but Wu Jiu really couldn’t explain the specific proportions and methods. However, there were still craftsmen. Although the craftsmanship in the early Spring and Autumn Period was relatively backward, the craftsmanship of the craftsmen in the palace was still amazing.

In particular, craftsmen are actually slaves. In this slave society, there is nothing that can't be done by the superiors if the superiors give orders.

Wu Jiu just sent this task down for the craftsmen to study, but he didn't expect it to be researched within two days, and because of Qi E's "credit", the purity of the saltpeter is very high, and the power of the blast is naturally not small, at least not like two kicks...

However, Wu Jiu is still a little distressed. In fact, gunpowder was invented a long time ago, but the real era of hot weapons is far from the invention of gunpowder. What is the reason?One very important reason is that saltpeter is really difficult to extract. In ancient times without chemical technology, saltpeter was extracted entirely by manpower.

Wu Jiu had asked Qi'e to pick up the manure before, and he had to pick and turn over every day. It took a whole year to extract the saltpeter.

Wu Jiao frowned, and said: "Your Majesty, although the gunpowder is powerful and the process is not very complicated, the difficulty lies in the raw materials. The raw materials of gunpowder are difficult to purify, and the purification cycle is too long, so... ...Actually, this powerful gunpowder can only be used to frighten the emperor and other countries at present, and cannot be widely used on a large scale, please let your majesty know this."

Qi Hou asked about the situation in detail, and then he suddenly realized that the raw materials of gunpowder are so strange. Years, the cycle is indeed very long and requires a lot of manpower. After all, this purification method is very strange.

Qihou smiled helplessly. It seems that in the future, he will organize captives or prisoners...to pick up dung?

The two studied the secret method of black powder, as well as the manufacturing method. It needs to be done in secret, and of course it needs to be secretly picked...

However, Qihou felt that the raw material of this gunpowder was too strange. Even if Qihou organized a large number of manpower to pick up dung, other countries would never think that they were making gunpowder. At most, they thought that Qihou's taste was quite heavy. ...

After talking about the serious business, Marquis Qi became uneasy, stretched out his hand and pulled Wu Jiao over, let Wu Jiao sit down next to him, then put his chin on Wu Jiao's shoulder with a "coquettish" look, and said : "Second brother, Gu is very reluctant to let you go."

Wu Jiu felt that Qi Hou might be too busy these days, his beard stubble had grown out, and it hurt him so much, he turned his side and said, "Okay, I got it, before I leave, I'll wrap fifty of them for you." Big bun, is this okay?"

When Qi Hou heard this, he laughed, steaming into Wu Jiu's ears, and said: "Who told you this, why is it that in the second brother's heart, I only think about the big bun?"

Wu Jiao rolled his eyes in his heart, wishing he could sneer, and said to himself how do you know?

Qihou put his arms around Wu Jiu and whispered in his ear, "Second brother, you must return safely."

Hearing Qihou's suddenly serious voice, Wu Jiu couldn't help but jump twice in his heart, pursed his lips, nodded slightly, and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Jiu is here to make meritorious service. There will never be any mistakes, plus the round-trip distance, it will take at most one month to return, when the time comes, please prepare the celebration banquet, Your Majesty."

Qi Hou smiled, kissed Wu Jiu's ear, and said, "Okay, I'll just listen to my second brother and wait for the good news of my second brother's triumphant return?"

Wu Jiu nodded, and Qihou said again: "Well... how will I reward my second brother then? Give my second brother the chancellor of the country?"

Wu Jiu quickly said: "Your Majesty, if you can return safely this time, you don't need any reward from your majesty, just ask your majesty to give you a vacation, that's all."

Qihou smiled and said: "Gu's second brother is different, others are scrambling for it, the one who breaks his head will be the prime minister of the country, but the second brother is not special, so the lonely will reward the second brother..."

He whispered a few words in Wu Jiu's ear, and Wu Jiu's cheeks were suddenly stained with a layer of blush, Qi Hou couldn't help laughing when he saw it, Wu Jiu stared at him, his throat was a little dry, Said: "Your Majesty, don't talk too much, just now in the suburbs, Your Majesty was so frightened that he tugged on Jiu's sleeves, how do you know that Jiu loves His Majesty?"

Upon hearing this, Marquis Qi burst out laughing, stretched out his hand and gently scratched the bridge of Wu Jiu's nose, and said with pampering eyes, "Gu really misjudged me, second brother is quite ambitious, and has plans for Gu? "

After Wu Jiu finished speaking, he coughed, feeling like he was playing a hooligan, and he was not as thick-skinned as Qi Hou, and his face was a little unnatural.

Qi Hou immediately had a coquettish expression on his face, wishing he could roll on the ground, and said: "I don't care, I don't care, the second brother just laughed at Gu, Gu is very sad, fifty big buns are not enough, the second brother must pack six Ten, second brother, think about it, if you go for a month, Gu can only eat two a day, which is not enough for three meals a day, how can you relieve Gu's lovesickness for second brother?"

Wu Jiu really rolled his eyes at Marquis Qi when he heard this, could eating big buns relieve the pain of lovesickness?The Cowherd and Weaver Girl don't need to meet on the magpie bridge anymore, they can eat three big buns every day!

After all, Qihou is a foodie, and he is just cheating on buns...

The matter of Wu Jiu's expedition was soon finalized. Besides Wu Jiu, Zhao Hu was also accompanying him. Zhao Hu had experience in fighting, and the last time he was in Tan Guo, Zhao Hu took down the head of the prince of Tan Guo with a sword. Also quite reliable.

The rest is for the Sima department to prepare troops, and it will be dealt with in less than ten days, because the battle needs to be resolved quickly and surprises are required, so Zhou Fu, acting as the chief Sima, is also very fast, and the soldiers, horses, food, supplies and supplies are almost ready .

Soon, Wu Jiu will go to war. This is the first time that Wu Jiu has formally gone to war. Now Wu Jiu is not only the great Situ of Qi, but also has another status. He is a general over there, holding the military power.

However, this time Wu Jiu did not bring too many troops, but only 2 horses, all of whom were lightly packed and did not bring too much dry food.

That day Wu Jiu was going to leave Linzi City, heading towards Tan State, Qi Hou got up early and was going to send Wu Jiu out of the city in person.

Wu Jiao is still sleeping, Wu Jiao rested in the small dormitory last night, Wu Jiao got up very angry, and his blood sugar was low, Qi Hou also gradually figured it out, Wu Jiao must not recruit him when he can't sleep enough.

In fact, Wu Jiu hadn't had enough sleep yet, but the army was going to set off today, and it was practiced early in the morning, so Qi Hou could only ask Wu Jiu to get up.

Wu Jiu was lying on the couch, hugging the quilt, because the weather was getting hotter and hotter, so Wu Jiao didn't cover himself with the quilt at all, don't look at his usually gentle, elegant and orderly face, in fact, if Wu Jiu put down Xin Fang is quite reckless when sleeping, Qi Hou has realized that Wu Jiu always grabs his quilt, and when he grabs it, he won't let it go, no matter how he pulls it, he won't let it go.

Qihou walked over and sat on the side of the couch. Seeing Wu Jiao rolled up the quilt and hugged him in his arms, he couldn't help laughing angrily. It rained last night and it was quite cold. Qihou wanted to cover himself with a quilt. In the end, he was snatched away by Wu Jiao, and he didn't let go no matter what, Qihou was so angry that he had no choice.

Now the opportunity for revenge has come, Qi Hou looked at Wu Jiu who was sleeping soundly, and stretched out his hand, pinching Wu Jiu's nose, Wu Zheng was sleeping soundly, suddenly he couldn't breathe well, the tip of his nose was still sore, he got it all at once After waking up, he opened his eyes unkindly, staring at Qihou.

Wu Jiu's eyes showed that he was so angry when he got up, Qi Hou couldn't help but let go of his hands, and said with a smile: "Second brother, it's time to get up early, if you're late after practicing, don't blame Gu for not reminding you."

Wu Jiu rolled his eyes helplessly, then slowly got up from the couch, dozing off while getting up.

Qihou put on the black armor for him with his own hands, combed his hair, kissed the top of Wu Jiu's hair, and said, "I wish my second brother a triumphant return."

Wu Jiu really woke up at this time, and smiled at the bronze mirror. Although the bronze mirror was very blurry, he could still see Qihou's sight in the mirror, burning hot, with a kind of reluctance.

Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry."

Qihou nodded. After the two of them had breakfast, they were ready to go to the gate of the city to practice.

Wu Jiu is wearing a black armor, he feels different today than usual, he is tall and tall, although he is not tall, but against the backdrop of his black armor, he does not have the usual weak and slender feeling, it adds a bit of heroism, Her hair was all back, and a deserted breath came over her face, with a strong sense of abstinence.

Wu Jiu put his right hand on the saber at his waist, and his left hand clamped the helmet under his arm. He looked cold and abstinent to the extreme.

Qihou couldn't help but wanted to whistle, thinking that he was used to Wu Jiao's usual gentle attire, and suddenly felt that it would be nice to change his style, which was equally fascinating.

Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi walked shoulder to shoulder at the gate of the city. The army at the gate of the city was already lined up and ready to set off in a short while. The neat army greeted Marquis Qi and the general powerfully, and their movements were uniform and majestic.

Marquis Qi was dressed in a black court robe and a crown. He was very formally dressed. As soon as he waved, an eunuch came over with a bronze tray on which were placed two wine glasses.

Qihou held two wine glasses in his own hands, one of which was given to Wu Jiu, and said: "The general is going out today, I respect the general alone, I wish the general a victory and a safe and triumphant return!"

Wu Jiu stretched out his hand to respectfully take the wine glass, followed Qi Hou's movements and drank it all in one gulp, and then the two of them turned the wine glass over at the same time, both of them were stuffy, and no wine flowed down.

Qi Hou laughed, threw the wine glass away, let out a "clang!", and then said, "General, please!"

Wu Jiu put down his wine glass, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your good words, Jiu... I will take my leave."

As he spoke, he quickly turned around, put on the helmet, then strode forward, quickly stepped onto Jiumo, and said loudly, "Let's go!"

As soon as Wu Jiu gave the order, the herald passed the order down, and then he heard the voices of "Let's go...go...", and soon, the majestic army set off, marching neatly one by one.

Wu Jiu was straddling the horse, Zhao Hu was also in armor, just behind Wu Jiu, and drove forward with the team.

Wu Jiao's team moved forward a lot, when he heard the sound of mountain shouting suddenly coming from behind him, Wu Jiao couldn't help but looked back immediately, and saw that Marquis Qi had climbed to the top of the city gate, although he was already dead. I can't see clearly, but there is nothing wrong with that black court robe, and the civil and military soldiers of the Manchu Dynasty and the soldiers guarding the city are all shouting in unison...

"I wish the general a successful victory and a safe and triumphant return..."

For the first time, Wu Jiu felt an indescribable magnificence. It was not the feeling brought about by intrigue and intrigue, but an indescribable passion.

The team coach this time is Wu Jiu, his deputy is Zhao Hu who has battlefield experience, and Dong Guoya, the minister of great admonishment.

Because of Dong Guoya's plan to attack Tan Guo before, Dong Guoya has become an official of great admonishment, ranking as a doctor, which can be regarded as a promotion for him.

Zhao Hu was not convinced, although it was true that the one who gave advice was better than the one who worked hard, but he was the one who cut off the head of Crown Prince Tan with his own hands. Although he was also promoted, he was still a Chinese doctor.

As a result, Zhao Hu was a head shorter than Dong Guo Ya, Zhao Hu was very unconvinced, and he had already agreed with Qi Hou before setting off that if he made meritorious service, he would also be named a doctor, but he was not greedy for any merit or food The salary is simply to suppress Dong Guoya's arrogance.

The team did not move slowly, they brought enough black powder to deal with Tan Guo, and Dong Guoya as an adviser, Zhao Hu suppressed the formation, this configuration was definitely enough to crush Tan Guo, so Wu Jiu was not worried at all.

After marching all the way, Wu Jiao gradually realized that although this configuration is very powerful, letting Zhaohu and Dong Guoya go out together is like cruelty to a dog, and this dog is actually Wu Jiao himself...

Wu Jiu can often see Zhao Hu and Dong Guoya "flirting and scolding", of course, Dong Guoya is mostly "running" Zhao Hu, Zhao Hu is very angry, and then Master Dong Guo shows a "knowing smile", That smile made Wu Jiu feel shuddering.

Not only were they flirting during the day, but the two of them were also in the same tent at night, which simply provided Zhaohu and Dong Guoya with the right time, place and harmony.

It was Wu Jiu's first expedition, so it was inevitable that he couldn't sleep, so he got up to study the map and Tan's defense situation. He heard the voices of Zhao Hu and Dong Guo Ya's "showing love" several times. Moreover, he also "cursed" Dong Guoya by being strong in the outside world, and Wu Jiu couldn't bear it when he heard it...

Although Zhao Hu is Wu Jiu's master, he is younger than Wu Jiu. He is not yet 30 years old and he is also a martial arts practitioner. This trip is like a honeymoon at public expense, arguing with Dong Guoya and abusing dogs. , Envy others, and after "crying and chirping" every night, he became alive again during the day.

Wu Jiu looked at Zhao Hu's waist with surprised eyes every time, and once he couldn't help but worry and said: "Master Zhao, are you...are you alright?"

Zhao Hu said with a strange face: "What's wrong?"

Just like this all the way "touring mountains and rivers", the army quickly pressed to the gate of Tan Guocheng.

Because their army had 2 horses, they suddenly marched in the direction of Tan Guo, and Tan Guo had already noticed it, so he was already prepared.

Over the years, Tan country has been safe and sound, that is because they are a war-free country, as long as the city gate is closed, nothing will happen, although it is a bit shameless, it is really quite effective.

Such a practical method, it would be a fool not to use it, so when Wu Jiao arrived with his army, he saw that the city gate of Tan Kingdom was closed tightly, and there was no one outside.

The summer sun is very dazzling, shining on the tall and majestic city gate of Tan Guo, but no matter how tall and majestic it is, it is definitely not as tall as the stone mountain.

Wu Jiu was dressed in black armor, riding on the white black ink, very eye-catching. He raised his head and looked at the top of the city gate. The general guarding the city stood on it, his shining sword gleaming under the scorching sun. Looks reassuring.

The generals of Tan State have been familiar with this scene for a long time, so they are not afraid at all. No matter which country’s army is at the gate of Tan State, they will return without success. Even if Tan State is besieged, the food will be enough for three years. Are you afraid that no one will come to rescue these three years?

Therefore, the general gate of Tan Guo didn't take it seriously at all, but just stood on the gate tower, looking down while talking and laughing.

Wu Jiu sneered, and said loudly, "Call the general."

Zhao Hu immediately urged his horse forward, cupped his hands and said, "The humble general is here!"

Wu Jiu said with a smile: "To Tan Guo, send a letter of war, so that the people of Tan Guo will not think that we are aggressive barbarians."

Zhao Hu immediately cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"

Zhao Hu quickly sent someone to bring the letter of war, the literary talent of the letter of war is remarkable, because this letter of war was written by Dong Guoya himself.

Zhao Hu took the letter of war and quickly urged his horse forward. A soldier came down from the city gate and took the letter of war away.

Zhao Hu handed over the letter of war, Wu Jiu waited for a long time, and then he heard a burst of laughter from the city gate.

Although they were not close and the city gate was very high, Tan Guoren's laughter was unusually obvious and sharp.

Wu Jiu heard a lot of people shouting at the city gate pulling their necks.

"Hahaha, the Qi people are going to attack our Tan country!"

"Cruise! It's not like no one has ever been crusaded! Those who can break into the city gate have not jumped out of their mother's womb yet! Don't worry!"

"Brothers, I heard that the great general of the Qi State is the king's favorite man. The king of Qi State sent a man's favorite to beat our Tan State. Do you think that our Tan State can't afford it!?"

"Hahaha that's right! A male pet, also wants to break through the gate of our Tan country?"

"Oh, I'm so scared. If you have the ability to call in, I don't think you can even touch the city gate!"

There was a lot of shouting at the city gate, all were cursing and taunting voices, Zhao Hu became angry when he heard it, Wu Jiao stopped him and did not let him move.

Soon Tan Guo's general asked people to shout from the city gate.

A group of soldiers shouted in unison: "Our general said that our country of Tan has enough food for three years. Even if you besiege the city, we will not be afraid at all! You country of Qi just wait for the emperor to send troops to attack! People from our country of Tan have already sent a letter to Master Luo! If you are sensible, hurry up and go back to where you came from! Don’t wait until the time comes to fuck off!"

After the soldiers shouted, they laughed again, shouting that Wu Jiao is a male favorite, why did he come to fight and so on.

Someone else said with a smile: "I'm afraid the monarch of Qi is tired of this male favorite, and wants to give it to our old monarch, but he can't save face!"

Immediately there was laughter at the city gate.

Zhao Huqi's eyeballs were about to burst, but Wu Jiu said calmly, "Send my order and shout to the gate of the city—surrender and don't kill, and the people don't kill."

Zhao Hu immediately cupped his fists and said, "Yes! General."

He said, beckoning the soldiers to shout in unison, Qi's army is very majestic, uniform and well-trained.

Soon Qi Guo's shouts shook the sky, as if they were beating drums, the shouts were loud and clear.

"Surrender, don't kill! People don't kill! Surrender, don't kill! People don't kill..."

When Tan Guoren heard it, he didn't pay much attention. He still laughed and shouted at the city gate: "What? Qi Guoren's voice is too low for us to hear clearly. Are you scared!?"

Tan Guoren laughed, and General Tan ordered someone to cut up the war book, throw the broken sheepskins from the city gate, and shouted: "Go back to your hometown! Your country of Qi is about to perish! Go back!"

Tan Guoren was confident, Wu Jiao looked at the fragments of the war letter falling down like butterflies, sneered, and said, "Okay, that's the talk, then don't blame us Qi!"

Wu Jiu smiled, waved his hands and said loudly: "Prepare the gunpowder and blow up the city gate!"

Zhao Hu was waiting for Wu Jiu's words, because of the etiquette and righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, so Wu Jiu didn't come up immediately to blow up the city gate. After all, the Spring and Autumn Period was very particular about the rules of war.

For example, people in the Spring and Autumn Period did not talk about night raids at all. People on both sides had to form troops to fight in battle, and they could only chase a deserter for fifty steps.

Wu Jiu asked Zhaohu to prepare gunpowder, and Zhaohu led his troops to prepare the gunpowder quickly, then crossed the moat and came to the city gate.

Zhaohu's army came to the city gate, but Tan Guo's soldiers still didn't take it seriously.

Zhaohu made people shout: "Qi is about to attack the city—"

Tan Guoren laughed, thinking that Qihou people are all stupid, how can such a small number of people attack the city?They didn't have any big sharp weapons, and they couldn't hit the city gate at all, so they were not afraid, and they cursed them for being too stupid, so get out of here and so on.

After Zhaohu led the people to shout, he put the gunpowder away, then retreated quickly, and quickly returned to the other side of the river.

Wu Jiu rode on Jiu Mo, looked at the city gate of Tan Kingdom on the other side, and said loudly, "Shout out for the last time."

Soon the soldiers shouted in unison: "Surrender, don't kill! The people don't kill!"

Tan Guoren laughed loudly, and cursed: "Shameless, if you have the ability to call in, if you don't have the ability, go back!"

"Yeah! If you don't have the ability, get out!"

"How many coalition forces want to break into the city gate, Tan Guo is still strong, don't think about it, Qi Guo, get out!"

Tan Guoren was still complacent, but at this moment he heard the sound of "呵呵呵呵—" and everyone looked at each other, not knowing what the sound was.

General Tan Guo laughed and said, "Could it be that the Qi people fart!? Hahaha they fart for so long, it's really... ah!!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly let out a scream, and accompanied by a loud bang of "Pong!!!", the city gate of Tan Kingdom suddenly exploded.

Zhao Hu put the black gunpowder under the city gate of Tan Kingdom, and lined it up in a neat row. The gunpowder was all ignited in an instant, and the huge base of the city gate was blown up, making a violent cracking sound, as if a wild beast was roaring.

Wu Jiu didn't need too much gunpowder at all, because the city gate of Tan Kingdom was very strong and the stone material was also thick, so its weight was naturally quite large. Although gunpowder was good, it couldn't be mass-produced quickly, so it was necessary to save a little. Wu Jiao simply Let people only blow up the lower part, and the upper part depends entirely on the self-weight of the city gate, allowing the city gate to collapse by itself.

As expected, after the city gate was bombed, the huge stone above it was also blown loose, and it collapsed in an instant, making a loud noise of "Boom! Boom—boom!!"

The Tan people on the city gate were all frightened, their faces were pale and they were in a mess.

"what happened!!?"

"The city gate has collapsed!"

"The city gate has collapsed! Qi people know witchcraft! The city gate has collapsed!"

"Go down the city gate! It's about to collapse!"

Tan Guo's defenders were in a mess, and when the city gate collapsed and the defenders were in chaos, Wu Jiu gave an order to lead the people across the moat and rushed into the collapsed city gate.

For a moment, the huge city gate collapsed amidst the roar of wild beasts, turning into ruins. Qi's army was well-trained, and Tan's army was frightened, and they had no preparations for battle. Dressed neatly, with no weapons in their hands, it was too late to prepare again at this time, the army was completely defeated, and there was no fighting spirit at all. Their fighting spirit was like a bursting city gate, and they all ran away shouting.

Wu Jiu's army was still in the land of no one, and they were not hindered at all. If it was hindered, it might be the shattered city gate.

As soon as the Qi army entered, not only Tan's army was in chaos, but the people also began to flee. In order to avoid accidental injury, Wu Jiao asked the army to continue shouting, surrender and not kill, and the people not kill.

When the people of Tan Kingdom heard this, they surrendered one after another, and the soldiers who fled from Tan Kingdom saw that the people surrendered and were not slaughtered, so they also began to surrender one after another.

For a moment, hardly a single soldier was mobilized, and the people and soldiers of Tan State knelt down one after another, kneeling in a large area, and there was no end in sight.

Wu Jiu rode on Jiu Mo, looked down from a high position, couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, it seemed that the effect was good.

The crown prince of Tan State died, and Tan Guojun was still flattering Luo Shi at this time, and he never came back, so the other sons of Tan State were sitting in the town of Tan State.

The sons of Tan Guo are also in their seventies and eighties, the youngest is 60 years old, and the oldest is more than 70 years old.

Mr. Tan Guo still had fun in the palace without any fear, and he was not afraid of Qi State at all. After all, Qi State had never thought of attacking Tan State, but they were unable to attack it.

So this time, Mr. Tan Guo was also confident, and the capital of Tan Guo was not prepared at all.

Wu Jiu's army broke through the gates of the border city, did not stop at all, and directly led the troops to the capital, but the guards of the capital did not receive any urgent military report. His face was pale.

Wu Jiu followed suit, and the army broke through the gate of the capital in an instant, and rushed in. The people surrendered one after another, and nearly half of the soldiers also quickly surrendered. When Qi sent troops from 3 troops, the number had expanded to [-] at this time.

Old Mr. Tan Guo was still playing with the women in the palace, his hair was white, and he was still holding the women's wine. At this moment, an eunuch suddenly rushed in, shouting in a hurry: "Young Master!! Young Master!! It's not good! The people of Qi State have invaded the city! They are coming straight to the palace!"

"what!?"

Mr. Tan Guo didn't expect it at all, and he didn't react for a while. The eunuch shouted several times, and the woman ran away in fright. Only then did Mr. Tan react, and he could faintly hear the chaotic voices in the palace , Some eunuchs and court ladies heard the news and were sorting out their finances, rushing to run away.

Mr. Tan Guo believed it when he saw the posture, and his face turned pale with fright, and he said: "What... what should I do!? Hurry to Master Luo and move the rescuers!!"

The eunuch shouted, "My lord! It's too late!!"

Old Mr. Tan Guo said: "Then what to do!?"

Wu Jiu led the army without hindrance at all, all the way was unimpeded, even the palace gate to enter Tan Kingdom was unstopped, the palace gate was wide open, and many palace people were running in a hurry.

Wu Jiu led his troops in, and came directly to Tan Guo's bedroom on the road, but Mr. Tan Guo was not in the bedroom on the road, he went to the small bedroom, and he was not in the bedroom.

Zhao Hu frowned and said, "Could it be that he ran away?!"

As he spoke, he arrested an eunuch and asked him. The eunuch was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he quickly said: "Young minister... I just saw that the young master hid...hid in the dining room, my lord, please forgive me!" , forgive me!"

When Wu Jiu heard this, he was amused. Mr. Tan Guo hid in the dining room because he was afraid?

Wu Jiu led his troops to the entrance of the dining room, it was quiet inside, but he could hear the sound of "dedede", it turned out to be the sound of jaws clashing up and down, the sound was obvious, and the frequency was quite fast.

Wu Jiu walked in following the sound, and the sound came from under a burning stove, Wu Jiu looked down, good guy, Tan Guo's son was hiding in the stove, rubbing ashes all over his body. After being discovered by Wu Jiao, he immediately screamed "Ah!!", which startled Wu Jiao, thinking that he had molested him.

Wu Jiu said with a smile: "Mr. Tan Guo, you are so elegant, why are you so stubborn here?"

Young Master Tan Guo repeatedly yelled: "Forgive me! Forgive me!!"

Wu Jiu sneered, waved his hands and said, "Bring him out."

The soldiers went over quickly, reached out and grabbed Mr. Tan Guo who was shrinking in, and dragged him out. Zhao Hu immediately covered his nose in disgust. It turned out that Mr. Tan Guo was so frightened that he peed.

Wu Jiao has a cleanliness habit, and he also dislikes it, so hurry up
