Chapter 676 Xu Rongshi is a general

?Huangfu Song has been besieging Gaonu City for almost half a month, and even Gaonu's outer city has not been able to break through. "" What is certain is that the defending troops have only a little over 10,000, while the siege side has a total of 60,000 elite soldiers of the imperial court.

Huangfu Song saw with his own eyes that the soldiers of the Imperial Army had occupied a certain city. If he could hold on for a while, he would have hope to tear open the defense line of the defenders, so that more Imperial Army soldiers could climb to the city. But at this important moment, the guard named Xu Rong would appear in a timely position where he was about to lose, and then command the Crouching Tiger Infantry in heavy armor to kill the soldiers who had finally attacked the city without hesitation.

After half a month of siege, more than 10,000 troops brought by Huangfu Song had suffered more than 10,000 casualties, while the Crouching Tiger Army, which was defending Gao Nu, seemed to have suffered less than 3,000 casualties. Such a huge number contrast really made Huangfu Song a little confused and uncomfortable.

After being entangled by Gao Nu's defenders until today, Huangfu Song had completely lost his patience. He decided to launch the last fierce siege at noon, and invested a total of 40,000 troops outside Gao Nu's four walls at one time. Regardless of the cost of casualties, he would see if the defender Xu Rong could still hold on!

Before the army attacked the city, there were always some signs, so naturally they could not escape the observation of Xu Rong through the telescope on the top of the city.

When Xu Rong saw that the besieged imperial guards were busy packing up their armor and wiping their weapons, he expected that Huangfu Song would have a decisive battle. So he immediately asked someone to invite Zhao Bu, who had been busy drawing and calculating in a secret house in Gaonu City, to the top of the city.

Xu Rong said to Zhao Bu: "Today, Huangfu Song is afraid that he will have to attack the city with all his strength. Now, the troops guarding the city can be put into battle due to casualties. There are only 2,000 people on one wall, which is really dangerous, so the Divine Fire Camp needs to provide support."

Zhao Bu didn't say anything, carefully took the telescope and observed the situation of the enemy under the city, and then said indifferently: "Do you want all the siege troops to die, or just to scare them away?"

After hearing Zhao Hu's question, Xu Rong felt a thrust in his heart. What does it mean to "kill all deaths or scare away?" Is it easier to kill people in the emotional divine fire camp than killing chickens? Xu Rong thought for a long time before solemnly answered: "Just kill about 30% to 40%. It will not only not let Huangfu Song live a good life, but also leave some family background for him."

Zhao Bu nodded and said, "I will only command the Divine Fire Camp to kill people. You must arrange more people to count. Once you reach 15,000 people, hurry up and stop, otherwise I am afraid that these guys who are so tired of it will not stop!"

Xu Rong was sweating coldly, looking at the boy who was nicknamed "Fire Dragon King" by the generals of Jin State, I don't know what to say. This boy is too cold, right? How can you regard human life as a mustard of grass at a young age?

What Xu Rong didn't know was that when Zhao Xing was about to pass on his gunpowder to Zhao Bu, he had already seriously warned his adopted son that gunpowder is an inhuman weapon of mass destruction. Once he started learning, he had to have a cold and calm heart, otherwise he would inevitably suffer from psychological diseases in the future and be shrouded in a huge sense of guilt for the rest of his life.

Therefore, in Zhao Bu's eyes, there is no difference between killing one person and killing ten thousand people with the Divine Fire Camp. It can be formulated according to the needs of the war.

Zhao Bu once told Zhao Xing that as long as Jin State let go of its hands and feet to produce and manufacture gunpowder without restrictions, it would not be difficult to kill all the people in this world. Zhao Xing gently stroked Zhao Bu's head, and then guided the young man in front of him earnestly, saying: "If all the people in this world are killed, what's the fun we have when we live? Killing is not the goal, it is just a means to use when we have to, and the same is true for the use of firearms."

So, why did Xu Rong put forward a request for 30% to 40% of the siege troops after a long period of thinking? This is because Xu Rong considered that Huangfu Song, who had seen the huge power of Jin's firearms, would definitely not attack Gao Nu again. If the news of Chang'an being surrounded again came again, he would have to return to Chang'an with his depressed Imperial Guard.

The Dingyuan Army, which has not appeared for a long time, will definitely appear on the road to the south of Huangfu Song. After Huangfu Song was killed by Xu Rong, the Dingyuan Army could easily stop him without causing too much casualties, which would be very beneficial to the next action of Jin State.

If it were a second-rate general, if it were not for the overall situation like Xu Rong and the strong support of the Shenhuo Camp, he might have thought of how to completely wipe out Huangfu Song's troops and record a lot of money on the military merit book. It would be a huge contribution to the attacking 60,000 elite troops with 10,000 troops. However, Xu Rong did not do this, which shows his demeanor of a general.

Huangfu Song issued the order for the general attack as planned, so there was a tsunami outside Gaonu City. The well-trained imperial army put all the siege forces that could be used into the battlefield. There were even soldiers who were not afraid of death tied gunpowder and rushed towards Gaonu's four city gates in the most primitive but feasible way.

Looking at the soldiers densely under the city, Zhao Bu ordered expressionlessly: "The wind speed is three knots, the wind is southeast, the shooting angle is two five, the range is nine five, and everyone is ready to release!"

With Zhao Bu's "ignition" order issued, a rain of 100,000 arrows fired from the head of Gaonu City instantly splashed ruthlessly at the Imperial Army soldiers running at high speed.

Before the defenders on the city exclaimed, Zhao Bu ordered again: "Fire angle 20, range 75, everyone is ready, let it go!"

So another rain of arrows rushed into the sky and shot down the city.

When Zhao Bu was about to issue an order for the fourth time, Xu Rong, who was standing beside him, hurriedly shouted: "Enough! Enough! It's overkill!"

So Zhao Bu turned his head and got off the city without saying a word.

This time, in order to ensure that the southern gate of Jin State was not lost, Zhao Bu brought a total of 500 "swarm" launch devices. According to the base of shooting 100,000 arrows at a time, the Divine Fire Camp brought a total of 100,000 arrows, which was really a terrifying number.

However, what is even more terrifying is still to come. If all these million arrows are launched, Jin State will pay two million taels of silver for this! This is enough for the cost of 80,000 troops of the Bingzhou Legion for two years!

According to Zhao Xing, "Money is a bastard, let's make money if you spend it all!" As long as you can try to keep the most elite Crouching Tiger Army soldiers, even if the 600,000 taels of silver was spilled out, it would be worth it. ~ Please come to "
