After dressing as a widow

Chapter 302

The surprise attack on the enemy's camp was very urgent, and before I had time to tell Deputy Qianhu, upon hearing the news, Deputy Qianhu and a group of cheering sergeants were stunned: "What did you say, what are you doing, sir? !"

The sergeant who came to report said: "Your Excellency led a surprise attack on the enemy's camp with 500 people. Not only killed several high-ranking generals, but also burned the enemy's food, grass and arrows. Now Your Excellency has returned to the city."

Deputy Qianhu slapped hard on the pillars of the tower: "Good job!"

"I've never seen such a Zhizhou, good!"

"Take me to meet the adults!"

"Qianhu, we want to go too." The sergeants on the tower were also jumping for joy, they were very restless now that Che Luo Kingdom had retreated.

Deputy Qianhu looked at all of them with blood on their faces and bodies, and some of them looked wounded, and said like thunder: "Hey, your lord will come sooner or later, don't worry, I don't have something important to do with you." Please report, my lord."

"Cut—" The sergeants didn't know his little thoughts, what was important, they clearly wanted to see Mr. Gu.

But the big guys also know that it won't work for everyone to go, and they must guard against Che Luoguo's counterattack.

Deputy Qianhu jumped down the gate tower three times, and went to the government office.

And Lin Zhen, who had been waiting outside the government office, finally waited for Gu Lin. He walked up to Gu Lin quickly, and his heart tightened when he saw the blood on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing his worry, Gu Lin raised the back of his hand and wiped it: "It's okay, it will be fine after a few days of cultivation."

The sergeants, who were more or less wounded behind them, were still immersed in the amazing power of the explosives and the ecstasy of Gu Lin leading them to burn food and grass among thousands of troops, and assassinating the opponent's high-ranking general.

It's like dreaming.

They excitedly wanted to ask Lin Zhen, who gave them the explosives, if he still had that stuff, but they dared not be presumptuous in front of Gu Lin.

When Gu Lin waved his hand away, it was five hundred, but now there are only more than 300 sergeants who went to the backyard to let the doctor and military doctor see their injuries, and followed Lin Zhen into the yamen.

He was also very curious about explosives, without this, the attack would not have been so smooth, and the astonishing power was too frightening: "Uncle Lin, what is that thing called explosives made of? Is there any left?"

Lin Zhen had nothing to hide from him. He told him the formula of gunpowder. Mix saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal according to a certain ratio, and then add sharp pieces of iron. After the explosion, not only the power of explosives, but also pieces of iron It will also fly out and plunge into the body, causing secondary damage.

"I bought all the materials from the firecracker workshop, and the ones I gave you only consume a small half of the amount. There are more in the mansion."

Lin Zhen was still worried about his injury, and said to Gu Lin: "The doctors in the city are treating the soldiers' injuries in the backyard, so you should go and have a look, as long as the root cause of the disease is found, it will be fine."

The two were walking towards the government office when the extremely excited Deputy Qianhu arrived. Gu Lin was not seriously injured, so he slapped him on the shoulder: "My lord, what about going to attack the rear of Che Luoguo?" Don't tell me that you made the loud noise just now."

"Good guy, are you leading the thunder to help justice?"

Deputy Qianhu is straightforward, ever since Gu Lin convinced him, he has completely ignored the official status and grades between the two, and wants to befriend Gu Lin in the same generation.

If it weren't for Gu Lin's cold face, Lin Zhen estimated that the deputy Qianhu would definitely be able to call Gu Lin brother.

The sergeants who went with Gu Lin hadn’t fully entered yet, and the dozens of people behind were eager to express themselves. They turned their heads when they heard Deputy Qianhu’s voice, “Qianhu, that’s not Tianlei, it’s Boss Lin. made of dynamite."

"Didn't you see that such a small tube was ignited and thrown out with a bang." The strong man who looked like a hill stretched his arms and drew a big circle, "It exploded such a large area, that car Luo The thieves in the country are so frightened that they can't even move."

The sergeant next to him gave him an elbow: "You are not going anywhere, if I hadn't kicked you, you would have been stunned."

The tall man scratched his head: "The main reason is that we haven't used this thing before, so how could we know it's so powerful? Boss Lin, do you still have this explosive? We won't be afraid of the thieves from the Che Luo Kingdom attacking the city with more of it. Fry a big piece!"

The other sergeants who had seen the power of explosives also had the same thought, and looked straight at Lin Zhen, as if they wanted to offer him up to the detective.

Deputy Qianhu had heard the bombs from the top of the city tower, and he had no doubts about what the sergeants said, but hated himself for not following along to see the power of the explosives with his own eyes.

Like a bee picking flowers, he catches a sergeant and asks one, what does the fuse look like when it is ignited, when is the best time to throw it out, and whether it is the same as a flower when it explodes.

It would be better for him to rush to Lin Zhen: "Boss Lin, you have to let me have a good time. Get some explosives and put them on the tower tomorrow. I'll blow his head to the ground."

"..." Lin Zhen looked at the group of people who wanted to throw explosives as arrows, and said, "I can only make more than 1000 copies of explosives with the materials in my hand, and they will be gone when they are used up."

Explosives are very powerful in the eyes of the sergeants, but for Lin Zhen who has seen all kinds of bombs with higher purity, the greater effect of explosives is deterrent.

Its power is not very strong. Only when it is in the center of the explosion will it be killed by one blow, and the iron pieces mixed in it will cause the birth of many wounded. In this era of lack of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, it is also fatal. .

The big guys surrounded Gu Lin and Lin Zhen and went in. The military doctors who were still treating the wounds of the wounded, and the people who came here to help soon learned from the remaining sergeants that the traitors from the Che Luo Kingdom who attacked the two city gates were eating After a big loss, they have temporarily withdrawn their troops.

In an instant, the wounded who were lying or sitting couldn't help cheering, and the backyard was full of noise.

Compared with the backyard of the state capital, the Cheluo state camp was gloomy and gloomy. No one thought that the people from the Lizhou state capital would be so bold that hundreds of people would come to their rear, causing them to lose countless food and grass, and even more so. The great prince Sang Khan was killed by a strange weapon.

Thinking of that weapon, everyone in the camp was still a little scared.

The general who was lucky enough to survive asked, "What should we do now?"

"The grain and grass were burned, and the grain and grass that was snatched would be enough for two days at most, and the eldest prince also..."

"After we go back, we will definitely not be able to escape punishment, and our lives will be lost!"

The eldest prince is Khan's most valued son, and this time he was asked to follow him to the expedition because he wanted to give him some military merits and convince the people below.

Now that a mere Lizhou has not been captured, but the eldest prince has an accident, Khan's fury can be imagined, and none of the people present can withstand it.

For the current plan, only by taking Lizhou down, fighting the heavy rain in Kyoto, and getting enough benefits from Dayu, can we ask Khan for forgiveness and make atonement with merit.

So after the generals discussed it, they immediately sent troops to recall the two groups of soldiers and horses they had sent out, and stormed Lizhou.

After a day's rest, the people of Cheluo, who knew they were short of food and grass, launched a fierce siege battle again.

Lizhou's arrows were consumed a lot in the last siege battle, not even the stones needed for the trebuchet and the firewood for boiling water were left, making it extremely difficult to defend.

The injury was not that serious, and he was able to draw the bow. The sergeant who could hold the thorn did not change again. Following several loud noises, Gu Lin raised his head and looked at the dead man who was stepping on his own body like an ant. The Che Luo people who climbed knew that Che Luo Guo had made a mortal determination to take Lizhou down.

The corpses piled up under the city wall were almost at the same level as the city wall. They were using their lives to consume Lizhou's armaments.

And those who were caught up and sent to death were not the real troops of the Cheluo Kingdom, but the people of Cheluoguo who had been forcibly conscripted.

They don't feel bad when they die.

Deputy Qianhu swallowed hard, bleeding from his chapped lips: "My lord, we are not running out of food, but we are almost running out of weapons. I am not reconciled!"

Many well-trained militiamen have come forward to help, and the firewood for boiling the water was taken from the houses of the people in the city, but it was still not enough.

More than 1 horses against [-] is still too much effort.

If it weren't for the explosives made by Lin Zhen, the current situation would be even worse.

Gu Lin's voice was hoarse because he hadn't drank water for a long time. With the least effort in his hand, he pierced the Che Luo man's chest from his armpit without armor protection, his eyes were bloodshot: "according to our past few days In terms of consumption, Che Luo Kingdom still has [-] troops."

Although Lizhou's soldiers defended against the city, the difference in numbers between the two sides was too large. Even if Lizhou's side did not lose much in the battle, the comparison was astonishing.

Now there are about 8000 people who can participate in the war, including the militia.

"Bang!" The Che Luo people pushed too close, and the sergeant used the same few remaining explosives again helplessly, temporarily stopping the momentum.

Gu Lin said to Deputy Qianhu, "Notify the people in the city to abandon all their treasures and go to the west gate. After the gate is opened, use explosives to open a road first, so that they can escape in all directions."

"grown ups……"

"The rest of the sergeants first buried fifty packs of explosives in various places leading to the west city gate, and fought while retreating, mounted their horses at the west city gate, and started the horse battle."

Deputy Qianhu gritted his teeth, unable to say obey.

There are still 4 people in Che Luoguo. He can't imagine how the remaining Gu Lin and others can win. If they don't win, they will die.

Gu Lin didn't look back, and told Deputy Qianhu: "This order has been issued, and it cannot be changed. Mr. Qian, we will see you in the state capital."

"Yes." Deputy Qianhu clasped his fists tightly, led two people down, and immediately asked people to notify the people in the city, telling them to gather immediately and go to the west gate.

Che Luoguo's attacks over the past few days made the people in the city a little flustered, and those whose minds were unstable even had nightmares again and again. Hearing the loud roar of the sergeants, the people all walked out of the house in confusion and fear.

Lin Zhen and Lu Lu in the government office also heard the sound of being asked to evacuate and go to the west gate. The things in Lin Zhen's hand fell on the table, and his body reacted before his brain, and he ran out of the gate. I want to see Gu Lin.

But when he ran to the street, his rationality told him all the time that his going would only add to the chaos and distract Gu Lin, and he should withdraw with the people so that Gu Lin would have no worries.

Deputy Qianhu, who came to inform the people, saw him in the crowd, and strode over: "Boss Lin, your lord has ordered that all the people in the city evacuate from Lizhou City, please follow us."

"Then what about him, what about Gu Lin." Lin Zhen looked at the east gate where the sound of fighting came from.

Deputy Qianhu choked up, "Boss Lin, let's go."

"..." Lin Zhen's throat was uncomfortably choked, as if stuffed with water-soaked cotton, he couldn't swallow, couldn't breathe, the pain made him grab his chest, wishing he could reach into his chest and squeeze his heart hard.

He said with difficulty, barely hearing his own voice, "Go..."

"I'm going..."

Lin Zhen seemed to have lost his soul, and mixed in the panicked crowd with the servants he had bought, such as Lu Lu Niu Da. After the city gate was opened, explosives were thrown out one after another, blowing up the Che Luo people who were less than the east gate. The people were turned on their backs, the soldiers went up to kill the enemy, and the people scattered and fled.

About an hour later, Lin Zhen, who escaped from the state capital and didn't know where he was, heard successive explosions coming from the direction of the state capital. The whole city of Lizhou might have become an explosion under such explosions. ruins.

Lin Zhen grabbed the cloth on his knees fiercely with his hands. In order not to cause the thieves from the Che Luo Kingdom who might catch up, the escaped people did not catch fire, and they did not bring any food. into the mouth.

On the seventh day after leaving the state capital, their faces were covered with mud and their clothes had not been washed for many days. Lin Zhen and Lu Lu hid in the bushes. The setting sun in the west was like a vat of red dye, dyeing half of the sky red.

Suddenly, a horse appeared on a small hill, and the people who fled here with Lin Zhen immediately gripped their hearts and clenched the sticks and stones in their hands.

Lin Zhen stared at the horse, and gradually, his hands began to tremble.

He saw that the horse was black, with a high head and a thin neck, long and strong limbs, and the black fur was clotted into pieces by blood.

It carried a person on its back, and that person was lying on the horse's back. His body shook slightly as the horse walked, as if he was about to fall off the horse's back in the next moment.

Immediately afterwards, some horses appeared, either with people on their backs, or empty...

Lin Zhen didn't seem to be able to feel the thorns on the bushes, so he pushed aside the bushes and ran out. He stumbled and ran to the front horse, straightening the rider's face with trembling hands.

"Gu Lin..."

"Gu Lin, I'm Uncle Lin..."

"Gu Shuanzi! I am your true self, open your eyes and look at me!"

Smeared with blood, the handsome face that couldn't even find a clean place on the eyebrows and eyelashes moved, and the eyes opened a thin gap.

Gu Lin's voice was erratic: "It's really here, I'm here."

Whether it was before or after coming here, Lin Zhen, who had never shed tears, gritted his teeth tightly, and tears slid down his cheeks.

Suddenly, he noticed that Gu Lin's eyes were closed, and quickly called Lu Lu, Niu Da, and the people in Lizhou who were hiding behind him: "It's Master Gu and the others! Come here!"

Lu Lu Niu Da, who was hiding, and the people in Lizhou ran over when they heard him say it was Gu Lin and the others.

With just one glance, their noses were sore because of the appearance of Gu Lin and those soldiers who were still alive, and the sensitive and sentimental people couldn't help but feel uncomfortable covering their mouths.

I saw that none of Gu Lin and the sergeants, including the horses they were riding, was intact, or even slightly injured. Gu Lin and the others probably lost their strength in the fight and tore off the cloth strips to remove the thorns. The handle is firmly tied to the hand.
