The southeast corner of the inner fort of Lou Fu Pass. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This place is heavily guarded, and several of Li Chao's henchmen and students are personally on duty in turn, and a thousand soldiers guard this corner, and no one is allowed to approach without Li Chao's warrant.

In the heavily guarded courtyard, Li Chao was inspecting another batch of black powder that had just been completed.

These gunpowders have been carefully processed through many processes such as soaking, compaction, drying, crushing, and screening, and have become small particles of moderate size and very uniform, and this kind of granular gunpowder can be fully burned more than ordinary powdered gunpowder.

Li Chao weighed 20 catties of gunpowder, and then added a large handful of rusty broken iron nails, small broken porcelain pieces, small stones and other miscellaneous things, and finally mixed well, wrapped it in linen, wrapped it in several layers, and then tied it tightly with rope.

"It's so heavy, the strongest strong man in the army can't throw it."

"We don't have to be so stupid to let people throw it, we have catapults, just use catapults to throw them down from the top of the city."

"Does this thing work well?"

"Whether it's good or not, you always know when you try it." Li Chao said, "In two days, when the Turks attack the city, we will test them on whether they are good or not, and everything will be known." ”

Clapping his hands, Li Chao said to the soldiers on the left and right, "Remember, people who enter this courtyard are not allowed to bring any kindling, and they are not allowed to use any metal products in the dispensing process." ”

"Why?"

"Because things of gold and iron are easy to collide and spark, and gunpowder has a little bit of spark, that is, the sky and thunder stir the earth's fire, and there is so much gunpowder stored here, if it catches fire and explodes, then the whole yard will be blown up to the sky. You don't want that, do you? ”

When a group of soldiers heard this, they were immediately frightened by the bags of gunpowder.

"Let's hurry up, you can get as much as you can, and when the battle comes, this thing can play a lot of role."

Three days.

Another three days passed.

Under the Lou Fu Pass, there were a large number of siege equipment, although the people of Tuli did not know how to do this, but they were numerous, and they also built once under the city of Mayi last time, and had a practical experience, so this time they spent three days to create a large number of siege equipment.

It is said that war is the best teacher of the art of war.

The Turks suffered a loss in Mayi, and this time they had some experience under the Lou Fu Pass.

In three days, Li Chao's gunpowder workshop also processed a large amount of black powder under the assembly line operation, as well as manufactured many gunpowder bags, grenades, and gunpowder canisters.

The counties in the rear sent saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal, etc., and then prepared and added them in the workshop.

"Calculating the time, Tuli's grain and grass are almost gone, and there are still seven days of grain and grass at most. Seven days, hehe. ”

Li Chao stood on the tower of the city gate, looking at the noisy Turkic camp under the gate, and smiled happily. On the surface, the Turks are strong and strong.

But in fact, Li Chao has already calculated that Tuli is now in urgent need of food, and if he does not break through the Loufu Pass, Tuli's 90,000 army will be self-defeating.

In the past, when the Turks fought wars, they did not pay much attention to the problem of logistics and food, because they had enough ability to plunder and supply on the spot. But this time, they just ran into a big trouble, the Tang Dynasty occupied Daibei Hetao and other places, and then engaged in a scorched earth strategy, and came to a strong wall and clear the wilderness, not to mention getting grain and grass, even if they ate people, they couldn't catch one.

From Yinshan to Loufuguan, this is a long distance.

The Turks have not paid much attention to the problem of supply, and they will attack the south, break through the pass and go south, and then they will have as much grain and grass as they want.

Who knows, the seemingly weak Lou Fuguan is actually a trap that kills everywhere.

"It's time to signal that the Vietnamese Hou has been recalled."

Ke Qing stood beside Li Chao, "Xiangguo doesn't have to worry about my teacher, the teacher's martial arts are unparalleled in the world, not to mention 100,000 troops, even millions of troops can come and go freely." He wanted to leave, but no one could stop him. Besides, Tuli didn't know that the teacher was actually a well-known bearded guest, otherwise he wouldn't dare to leave the teacher so close to him if he had ten guts. ”

Li Chao smiled.

It goes without saying that the skills of the bearded guest are self-explanatory, and the artist is bold.

Li Chao's plan can go so smoothly this time, which is inseparable from Zhang Zhongjian's role.

"I'm worried that when the war is together, there will be no eyes for the sword and gun, and it will not be good if I am injured by mistake."

On the morning of the seventh day, the Turks finally launched a formal siege, as Li Chao had predicted.

It was still the cavalry that went out first, riding and shooting to cover, and then a large number of dismounted tribesmen rushed forward carrying ladders and shields.

There are also some simple siege equipment made in the back, such as arrow towers, cloud chariots, and catapults.

"There are also capable people under Tuli, and this attack is a bit like this." Su Lie said, Li Chao smiled, "It's just a little bit of a look." ”

If you can casually break through a fortified city like a building, then who bothers to build a fortress?

"Xiangguo, how much strength do we use to defend today?"

"Let's do it."

Li Xiuning demanded that the city be defended by the Women's Army today.

After Li Chao hesitated, he also agreed, and sometimes, in order to be able to achieve victory, there were countless casualties in a battle. When it comes to the battlefield, Li Chao can no longer treat the Women's Army as a woman and an object that needs to be protected.

When they arrive on the battlefield, they are treated equally, and they are also a member of the army, a pawn in the entire battle.

"Please Xiangguo is here to escort the women's army!" After Li Xiuning finished speaking, he walked over with a bow.

"The eldest princess is really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go." Su Lie was patting his ass on the side.

The north wind was howling and the weather was cold.

But the building is annoying, and the war drums are like thunder.

The Turks attacked the city with great momentum this time, and they also rushed fiercely.

"The Turks are in range!" A female soldier reports.

Li Xiuning looked at the direction of the wind, then raised his bow and threw arrows into the air.

The arrow whizzed out, flew into the air, arced beautifully, and finally reached the apex and began to fall.

The falling arrow happened to hit a Turk, but was blocked by his shield.

Li Xiuning looked at it, and the Turks had indeed entered the firing range.

"Shoot the arrows! Ejection! ”

There are too many enemies, and at this time, there is no need to aim carefully one by one, and directly use the method of collective projectile, which is actually more effective.

With the sound of a horn, the women's army opened their bows and shot in unison.

Quite a few Turks fell on the way to the charge.

Then the Turkic cavalry also shot denser and more fierce arrows at the head of the city in color.

There were also casualties in the city.

The two sides came and went, and the fighting became more and more intense.

Although the women's army had a lot of cover at the head of the city and an advantage in height, the Turks were outnumbered. They soon rushed to the city with bows and arrows.

Ladders were erected, and countless Turkic soldiers began to attack the city.

Li Chao couldn't help frowning when he saw it from the city gate, the intensity of the Turks' attack this time was far beyond expectations, and the women's army was now almost using all its strength, but it couldn't stop the offensive at all, and even began to be suppressed and couldn't raise its head.

It's not going to go on like this.

"Take out the explosives bag and let the artillerymen give those bitches some awesome looks." Li Chao decisively ordered at this time, if it was self-defeating and let the Turks rush to the city, it would be really over.

"Artillery, the prime minister has an order, throw explosives packs, quickly!" The herald ran to the catapult and gave a loud order.
