2090: Dying Struggles (Part 2)
The newborn sun slowly rose, giving Yulong Mountain a dazzling layer of light, shining brightly in Guo Xiancheng's telescope. Today is a good weather! Guo Xiancheng slowly put down the telescope, and today is also a good day of fighting! When the sun rises above his head, it is really impossible to cut down with one knife and blood splatter three feet.
The Yulong Mountain in the distance looks no different, but Guo Xiancheng knows that there is already tension there. If Your Majesty’s guess is correct, today will be the day of a showdown between the two sides. Where will the core figures of the Ming and Qi countries decide their lives and deaths in the end?
If there was no secret under Yulong Mountain, Qi would not have this opportunity. According to normal procedures, the three armies of Ming Kingdom only needed to climb over and join forces under Chang'an City. Even if Chang'an had enough food and equipment and full of weapons, how could they block the attacks from the Ming army from heaven and earth?
But Guo Xiancheng now knows it, remembering the big secret that Qin Feng was afraid of. The Great Qi court had no idea at all, and he didn't even understand what was going on.
Now, Da Qi can barely breathe. How long can this breath last depends on the outcome of the battle today. However, even though everything is as expected by Your Majesty, Qin Feng came, and they also shot Qin Feng to kill, so what can it be? The crown prince of the Ming Dynasty was already old enough, and when Qin Feng left Yuejing City, he was always in charge of political affairs. The three armies of the Ming army were still entrenched a hundred miles away from Chang'an City. Zhou Jiyun, Wu Ling, and Chen Zhihua were all the generals of the hundred battles. The generals under his command were all fighting with Qin Feng all the way, and Da Qi has suffered too much loss in the past few years.
Once Qin Feng dies, these hundreds of thousands of troops will rush towards Chang'an with anger. At that time, can Chang'an stop it? Even if he blocks this group, even if he repels the Ming army's attack this time, what about the next time?
Guo Xiancheng knew very clearly that the foundation of Qi had been destroyed, and the foundation of Ming had been deeply rooted in the soil. Even if the Qi army defeated this battle, they would not have the strength to counterattack.
Thoughts came in his mind, causing his head to ache. He couldn't help but reach out and knock on the iron helmet on his head. The sound of the sound attracted the attention of several generals around him.
"General, are you uncomfortable? But you need to rest for a while?" asked a veteran.
Guo Xiancheng was re-activated by the emperor, which greatly boosted the morale of the officers and soldiers of Chang'an City. After all, Guo Xiancheng, like Cao Yun, has been in the army for the rest of his life and has a very high reputation in the army.
"Nothing. I just thought of something and my mind was a little confused." Guo Xiancheng shook his head, raised his telescope, and continued to look in the direction of Yulong Mountain.
At this moment, under the long corridor of Yulong Mountain, Cao Yun was staring at the wall that looked as if it was gray. At this moment, the soldiers had already dug a long trench in front of him, and packs of gunpowder were filling in.
"Your Majesty, are you going to do this?" Cao Chong's hand trembled slightly. "Will such a strong force cause any unexpected consequences?"
"Unexpected consequences?" Cao Yun laughed strangely: "Uncle, the matter has reached this point. Even if it is the worst, how can it be ruined? Death is dead and the country is destroyed? We are almost like this. Now, this is our last life-saving straw. Even if holding this life-saving straw will make everyone in the world die, what does it have to do with us?"
Cao Chong took a deep breath and stopped talking.
Yes, things have reached this point, so what else can I worry about?
"Your Majesty, you are all ready." Cao Hui walked over from the trench and bowed.
The people slowly retreated back and retreated dozens of feet away. Rows of large shield soldiers immediately rushed over, erecting layers of large shields in front of them, protecting them firmly behind them. An escort walked forward, raised the torch in his hand, and lit the fuse on the ground.
The burning fuse extended towards the trench. Cao Yun impatiently reached out and pulled out the two shields in front of him, widened his eyes and stared at the front.
With a loud bang, the entire Yulong Mountain seemed to be trembling, and mud and stones were falling down on their heads. Except for Cao Yun and Cao Chong Cao Hui, the others involuntarily looked up at the top.
The smoke slowly dissipated, and the dusty stone wall once again appeared in the sight of the three of them.
At this moment, Cao Yun and the other two widened their eyes in shock. The gray wall they tried their best to break through was like waves of water that were constantly swaying.
Everyone's eyes were gathered on it.
"Is he alive?" Cao Hui said tremblingly.
Such a hard wall actually exhibited its water-like characteristics at this moment, so how can they not be shocked?
After a wave of ripples, the stone wall gradually recovered from its original state. Several officers walked up tremblingly, jumped into the trench, carefully inspecting the objects they wanted to destroy. After a cup of tea, they raised their heads from their respective positions, looked at Cao Yun and others with bitter faces and shook their heads.
"Fry again, bury more explosives, and bury them." Cao Yun said fiercely: "Since there is a reaction, it means that it is effective, but it is just that its strength is insufficient. Dig deeper, bury more gunpowder, and blew them for me."
The rumbling explosion kept ringing at the bottom of Yulong Mountain. The entire Yulong Mountain was shaking. The big trees on the mountain were rolling down in pieces, and the rocks rolled down to the bottom of the mountain. The steps made of jade gradually cracked, then twisted, piled up, and finally rolled towards the foot of the mountain.
Nowhere to go in Chang'an City, Guo Xiancheng looked at this scene and his hands trembled slightly. From the first vibration to the moment it has become more and more violent, it can only show one thing, that is, things are not going well at all.
"What happened in Yulong Mountain?" Cao Zhu, the crown prince who had just received the report of something strange in Yulong Mountain, rushed over and stood beside Guo Xiancheng: "General Guo, what happened?"
Guo Xiancheng pointed to Yulong Mountain in the distance and whispered: "There is a key thing about the survival or destruction of our Great Qi. Your Majesty is hoping to control him."
Cao Zhu opened his mouth wide and looked at Guo Xiancheng in disbelief. Obviously, he didn't know about this. His eyes at Guo Xiancheng were slowly filled with anger.
"Your Highness, I only found out last night." Guo Xiancheng explained.
Cao Zhu took a deep breath, "What will happen there?"
"I don't know, but there is one thing that will definitely happen."
"What's up?"
"The Ming army will come to attack Yulong Mountain." Guo Xiancheng whispered: "Once the Ming army attacks Yulong Mountain fiercely, then I will command two camps in the north and south to surround Yulong Mountain and then attack inside and outside with His Majesty the Emperor. In the hall, Chang'an will be handed over to you."
"Aren't the Ming army more than a hundred miles away from us?"
"They came from the air!" Guo Xiancheng pointed to the top of his head.
At the bottom of Yulong Mountain, another violent explosion sounded, and the water patterns on the gray stone wall became increasingly dense, and it looked brighter.
Cao Yun looked excitedly. The thing did react, and the reaction was stronger and stronger every time.
"It will be opened when it's about to open it," he murmured.
As soon as he finished speaking, the water-like things suddenly shrank towards the center like lightning, like birds throwing into the forest, and finally retreated into the middle point.
Immediately afterwards, a little light appeared and slowly extended to all sides. The originally gray wall began to light up, eclipsing all the torches that had just lit up from the ground.
"It's open, hahaha, it's open!" Cao Yun danced excitedly.
Cao Chong stood quietly, without moving. He had been underground for countless years. He had seen such scenes. Every ten years, he stayed here, watching the wall light up like this.
He even knew what was going to happen next, because he had witnessed the same situation three times since he entered the ranks of masters at the age of forty. He was eighty this year. If there had been no accident, he would have seen the same situation again at the age of seventy.
But now he has lit up early.
As Cao Chong expected, the brightness on the gray wall was still stacking layer by layer, but the extremely majestic Yin was the first to echo underground. He was already familiar with this song. For most of his life, he had been studying this thing, and even avoiding marrying a wife and having children. But he still didn't figure out what the meaning of him, nor did he figure out what it was made of.
A bright red flag suddenly appeared in the center of the lit gray wall, with a large five-pointed star on it, and four small five-pointed stars wrapped around the big star in a half-ring shape. The flag slowly covered the entire stone wall in the vigorous music.
Everyone stared at this scene.
The red flag slowly closed from the right to the left, and Cao Chong's familiar scene appeared in front of him again. He closed his eyes in pain, which would be another effortless effort.
"He is attracting energy, I know, he is absorbing energy." Cao Hui suddenly said: "It should have been only ten years to open it, but now he appears in advance because the energy that exploded when we exploded was attracted by him, which prompted him to light it up in advance."
"Or you are right, but this is useless. We still can't open him, and we still don't know what kind of secret is hidden in it." Cao Chong looked at Cao Yun quietly, "Your Majesty, prepare for the battle. If Qin Feng really comes, then we still have a glimmer of life to kill him."
Cao Yun looked at the pictures that kept flashing on the stone wall in a daze. When he saw these for the first time, he felt incredible, but now, many things can be understood, because he has seen some prototypes of things in the picture from the battle that is breaking out now.
Yes, the prototype.
