Xie Ke stood on the balcony of his building and stared at the direction of Luoyang Cang. He had been standing here for an hour. At about four o'clock in the morning, a ball of fire suddenly rose in his eyes, illuminating his eyes. In a short period of time, the small fire quickly spread into a sky-sky fire, and the raging flames rose straight to Yunxiao.

Xie Kelang laughed loudly and turned around and walked back into the house, "Old Xie, come, let's have a few drinks!" In his room, several dishes and a pot of fine wine had already been arranged.

When it was almost dawn, Hu Dong and Ximen Qing crossed the wall. Their bodies were covered with black ashes, and their faces were blurred as black and white. When they first saw their appearance, Xie Dongwu was shocked.

"Everything went well?" Xie Ke poured a glass of wine for each of them.

"Fortunately, I lost more than a dozen brothers, but Luoyang Cang and the others couldn't save them!" Hu Dong said with a smile.

"There is a special water dragon team not far from Luoyang Cang. It is just to deal with the sudden fire. How did you burn such a big fire in a short period of time?" Xie Ke asked in doubt.

"This is a batch of amazing things we brought when we lurked in this time!" Hu Dong said: "This is a new thing made by the first arsenal. You also know that whenever the arsenal produces a new object, the first trial will always be our Supervision Institute. This thing is called hot turbulent oil. As long as it is burned, the water will not be extinguished at all. Unless it is covered with sand or soil, how can the water dragon team beside the Luoyang Cang know? What's more, there are people in the water dragon team in Ximen. They quietly replaced the water from one of the water dragons with this hot turbulent oil. Wow, the guy with the added material sprayed out, and the flames rushed straight to Yunxiao. Lao Xie, you didn't see the expression of the person who was putting out the fire at that time, hahaha!" Hu Dong tried his best to suppress his laughter, but still couldn't help it.

"It turns out that the arsenal can produce new objects!" Xie Ke nodded and expressed his understanding. He set it on military supplies to promote new items. Every one or two years, if nothing new items come out, he would be strange.

"As soon as the Luoyang Cang was burned, millions of stones of food were immediately taken. Luoyang couldn't afford this loss. You should hide here. I guess Yuan Xiaosan would dig three feet to find you."

"Yuan Xiaosan is not Yuan Fang, I don't ** him!" Hu Dong said disdainfully.

"Don't be careless. Yuan Xiaosan has been following Yuan Fang for so many years and has learned a few tricks. Lao Hu, he is about to win. I don't want you to be sad on the eve of victory!"

"I'm gonna be. You're a crow's mouth. OK, okay, I'll stay for a few days. By the way, I'll ask the middle and lower-level officers you are looking for whom you may have turned against have no idea. I'll do this after a few days of rest!"

Xie Ke pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve, "It's all on it, name, address, family situation, and personal preferences, all!"

"So many?" Hu Dong couldn't help but be surprised when he looked at the dense names written on the paper.

"There are nearly 300,000 troops in Luoyang City now. Are there many? Not many. I just listed a group of people who may be useful to us. Seeing that the situation in the Great Chu is over, it is not strange to find a way out for myself. Unfortunately, there is no senior general, if you can find such a person, you will get twice the result with half the effort."

Hu Dong pondered: "There is someone you might as well pay attention to in the future."

"Who?" Xie Ke asked.

"I am still in Yangquan's Jingong." Hu Dongdao: "Before the president left the front line and returned to Dingzhou, he ordered people to collect Guo Fengxian and Jingong, who are now facing our army in Fengtai and Yangquan, so Guo Fengxian should not think about it. He is a stubborn mind, but Jingong's Jingong's brain is very active. Such people, those with low levels cannot get close to each other, and only you will have the opportunity to contact him in the future, but you have to take considerable risks. If this guy is round on the outside and square on the inside, you will be noisy!" Hu Dongdao.

"Guo Fengxian and Zhan Degong have the most elite soldiers in the left and right camps. Soon after, they will definitely withdraw back to Luoyang to defend. If Zhan Degong can turn against him, Luoyang will be able to get the chance. This is a risk." Xie Ke said: "If he doesn't open his eyes, there is nothing he can do. From now on, you can burn some paper for me every year and give me some wine."

"That's certain!" Hu Dong laughed. They were all people walking on the brink of death, and they were very indifferent to life and death.

Fengtai Camp. Like Yangquan, this is already the last barrier of Luoyang City. Once these two places are lost, the Dingzhou army can directly approach Luoyang City. Although he adopted all the defensive methods he could think of, Guo Fengxian was still in a panic when facing the enemy army that was several times higher than him on the other side. The enemy on the other side had an absolute advantage, and he was cautious and moved forward step by step. For more than a month, his position on the periphery had been eroded. Although his troops were not lost, the attack on morale was unreliable. I think his contribution to Yangquan was similar to the situation in front of him.

The soldiers from both camps on both sides were from Luoyang. With the slogan of defending their families and the country, Guo Fengxian described the Dingzhou army opposite like a demon in hell. If they were allowed to occupy Luoyang City, the families of these soldiers would be slaughtered and their wives and daughters would be insulted. Because there were barbarian cavalry troops opposite him, his statement made the soldiers believe it. For a long time, barbarians were synonymous with the minds of the people of Great Chu.

Because of this, Guo Fengxian successfully raised the soldiers' determination to fight to the end, but Guo Fengxian had no idea how long this morale could last. As time goes by, the enemy's step by step will seriously erode the soldiers' courage. The enemy on the opposite side is now like a mountain. Although it is moving slowly, it is indestructible, making it impossible for him to find any gaps that he can use.

These days, standing at the highest point of Fengtai Camp, I saw that there were suddenly a hole in the enemy camp, and the evaporated smoke covered the sky and the sun. What was the other party trying to do? Guo Fengxian couldn't figure it out. At this time, he only hoped that it would rain heavily and a continuous rainy weather. In this way, the already muddy road would be even more difficult, and the inland water that was dug by himself would surge, which would effectively block the enemy's pace of progress and gain more time.

But Luoyang has no hope. Guo Fengxian is very clear about this. There are no reinforcements outside, and the inside is even more panicked. The entire Chu has betrayed the Luoyang regime. How long can an isolated city last?

Guo Fengxian was very desperate.

Zhan Degong was also very desperate. Like Guo Fengxian, opposite him was Chen Zeyue, the lame general who was Dingfang. After half a month, the other party had already captured his peripheral positions one by one. Now he was only Yangquan. He had submitted several statements to withdraw his troops and return to Luoyang. Yangquan could not defend it. If the 50,000 troops in his hand returned to Luoyang City, with the help of the city wall, it may play a greater role. Zhan Degong decided to defend him for three days. Three days later, even if no edict was issued in Luoyang City, he would withdraw. At this time, no one dared to punish him for this matter. He informed Guo Fengxian. At present, only when the two armies fought together could they withdraw safely.

In the Dingzhou Army Camp, dozens of newly built cellars were burning cement invented by the Dingfang Arsenal, and bags of loaded cement were loaded onto a carriage and transported to the front.

Lu Dalin, Guan Xinglong and others were inspecting this time. Ren Ruqing smiled and greeted him, "Are you satisfied with the two generals?"

Lu Dalin raised his thumbs up, "Mr. Ren, you take it seriously. This thing is OK. With it, Guo Fengxian wants to block us with muddy and difficult geographical conditions, but it won't work. It's already mid-August. Seeing that it was the rainy season, Guo Fengxian insisted on not retreating, and was waiting for this festival. It's great. With him, we can build roads with all connections. Whether it's cavalry or heavy weapons, we can reach the place we want to go without any problems. It's wonderful."

Ren Ruqing smiled and said, "Since that's the case, we have to ask several generals to send people to assist me in transporting raw materials here!"

Guan Xinglong smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem with this. The things you want are not particularly difficult to find. I really didn't expect that these things can become so sharp if you put them together. No wonder the lord said that your first arsenal is our Dingzhou engine. Oh, by the way, Lao Ren, what is the engine?"

Ren Ruqing spread his hands, "My lord told me, but I didn't understand it. Anyway, the general idea is a guy who provides power continuously. The lord encourages me to think about this thing more and also draw some inexplicable drawings for me. But at present, I have no idea. After the battle is over, I will organize people to study it. As long as I have a deep skill, I will grind an iron rod into a needle. I wondered, wasn't the Shenwei cannon just based on the lord's narration and some messy drawings?"

"Hahaha, you dare to say that your lord's drawings are messy, be careful I will sue you!" Lu Dalin laughed.

"It's really messy." Ren Ruqing shrugged, looking innocent.

Guo Fengxian watched helplessly as the white roads began to move forward in the mud, in the depression, in the wetlands, the soldiers of Dingzhou transported the mud-like things, spread them in the mold, then flattened them, and lay straw on them. Under the sunlight in August, the next day, peeled off the straw and watered them again. After a day or two, a section of the road appeared in front of him. Guo Fengxian was shocked and suspicious, and sent a force to attack in the middle of the night, trying to destroy these newly built roads. However, the attacking horses were not only overwhelmed by the enemy, but also panicked that the fleeing soldiers brought back the road foundation they had worked hard to knock down. The hardness made him almost desperate. Once the mud-like things were dried, they were so hard.
