Chapter 30: The Rumble of Cannons

The 50,000 elite troops of Sima Yiqing have gathered at Huju Pass. Ten miles away from Huju Pass is the Lotus Pass in Lin Kingdom. When Qian Xiaoxing attacked the unbuilt Lotus Pass, he was drowned by the lake water of Heye Lake and was defeated for a while. Sima Yiqing naturally would not repeat the same mistake this time, but when he attacked Lianhua Pass this time, it is not easy to avoid the Lin army from letting people flood.,,

Sima Yiqing once said in front of Qian Xiaoxing that he would definitely be the first to attack Lin Guoqidu. Now even if there is a divine power cannon, he will be dangerously stopped by the lake, because even if the divine power cannon is powerful, once the cannon is flooded, it will be a piece of scrap iron.

Without thinking about a plan to break the pass, Sima Yiqing had to stay in Huju Pass without moving, but the people were so anxious that Sima Chuchu fought with Sima Yiqing this time. She originally wanted to learn some tactics from her father, but she didn't expect that she could not even get out of Huju Pass.

The father and daughter stood at Huju Pass, watching the bloody sunset set, and the day was about to pass, Sima Yiqing couldn't help but say, "It's embarrassing, it's so embarrassing. With the divine power cannon, it can't be shot."

"The divine power cannon is afraid of water and cannot exert its power at all." Sima Chuchu replied helplessly.

Sima Yiqing was even more worried after hearing this and said, "If we wait until Lu Shengzhong and Qian Xiaoxing both arrived in Qidu and we are still in Huju Pass, we will be dying of laughter."

Sima Chuchu smiled and said, "Father, I don't think you would let this happen."

"Of course not!" Sima Yiqing stood up excitedly, but sat down helplessly and said, "But, I can't go to attack hard, either, I may not be able to attack hard, and it may not be possible to attack hard."

Sima Chuchu thought for a while and said, "Father, when Qian Xiaoxing rescued Ling Yi and the others last time, he used explosives to blow up the gates of Yidu. Now we also have cannon explosives. Can you still do anything?"

"It turns out that explosives can be used like this..." Sima Yiqing thought for a moment and said, "I really don't use this explosives. If it's used like this, then I have a way."

Sima Chuchu immediately asked, "What is the best way?"

Sima Yiqing stroked the humble and said, "What we fear most is that Lin Jun releases water. As long as the waterway is blocked, there will be no problem."

"How to block it?" Sima Chuchu asked.

"It's simple to have explosives. The flood comes from the valley. As long as we blow the mountain down and block the valley road, we will naturally have no worries." Sima Yiqing came up with a solution and was in a good mood. He said happily: "Chuchu, let's go and have a drink for our father to celebrate."

That night, Sima Yiqing sent scouts to investigate the terrain around the valley where the flood passed. The scouts found a narrow place and secretly dug holes to fill the explosives.

After doing all this, early the next morning, Sima Yiqing finally opened the gate of Huju Pass, and 50,000 elite troops escorted five hundred cannons toward Lianhua Pass.

The ten miles of road was very close. After an hour, the Si army gathered in front of Lianhua Pass. The guardian of Lianhua Pass was still Chen Tian. Last time, he blocked the Si army in front of Lianhua Pass and drowned 3,000 people. After learning about it, Wang Lin was very happy and rewarded Chen Tian with a thousand taels of gold. The ten beauties made Chen Tianle open.

This time, when Chen Tian saw that the Si army was coming in full force, he naturally did not dare to underestimate the enemy. He immediately assembled troops to go to Lianhua Pass. Seeing that the Si army did not attack immediately, tens of thousands of soldiers in front of him were slowly coming over. The car was carrying a rod-shaped black lump, but he didn't understand what the thing was for.

Deputy General Chen Tian pondered for a moment and said, "General, it seems wrong. If Si Jun pushes the boat over, he will understand it. If we push those iron rods, if we release the water, it will be useless. It's really strange."

Chen Tian laughed and said, "Do you think Si Jun is so smart? It seems that they had flooded them once last time and they had not yet had a memory. They immediately sent someone to open the gate by Heye Lake to release water."

The deputy general immediately arranged it. During this period, the Si Jun pushed forward some more but was not moving forward. The iron rods in the mouths of the deputy generals were naturally the Divine Power Cannon. The cannon was placed on the four-wheeled car. The originally straight cannon body slowly pointed at the Lotus Pass under the adjustment of the Si Jun artillery.

Due to the limited venue, only two hundred magic cannons were placed in front of Lianhua Pass, and dark muzzles were aimed at the city walls on Lianhua Pass. The artillery had loaded the bullets and was holding torches waiting for the order.

Sima Yiqing and Sima Chuchu stood on the chariot. The chariot was about three stories high. It was clear at a glance about the situation on the battlefield below. Two hundred cannons were arranged in a fan shape in front of the Lotus Pass. Sima Yiqing stroked his beard with confidence and said, "I think the time is almost over, and it should be ringing there."

Sima Chuchu still asked worriedly: "Father, what should I do if the collapsed valley cannot block the flood?"

Sima Yiqing obviously had already considered it and replied: "Chuchu, you have been worried too much. If the rain in spring is sufficient, it is possible that the lake water will dry up in autumn and there will be no water flowing out."

At this moment, a muffled thunder sounded in the northwest direction. The sound passed through the sky and made everyone listen. The loud noise was the sound of the valley being exploded. The originally loose rocks were blown out of a big hole and immediately slid down the cliff. The big rocks fell into the valley stream and splashed a splash. In an instant, the valley was blocked by a pile of stones, forming a dam in the valley.

At this moment, the water released from Heye Lake just flowed, and the wave in front hit the embankment, forming a back wave. In an instant, the water level rose, but there was still a lot of distance from the embankment.

Sima Yiqing was also very nervous. After waiting for a while, he saw that there was no flood rushing in the valley. He said excitedly: "Chuchu, we succeed, fire immediately!"

"Fire the cannon!" Zheng Chang beside him shouted loudly.

Two hundred gunners lit the fuse at the same time, "Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang..." The cannons were heard incessantly, and black shells hit the Lianhuaguan city wall, smashing small pits on the city wall, but they did not explode. It was not until the shells fell to the foot of the city wall.

It turned out that the distance was too close. After the shell hit the city wall, the fuse inside did not ignite the explosives, so it did not explode. Sima Yiqing ordered: "Replace short-range shells!"

During the time of changing shells, Chen Tian on the city wall was stunned because he had never seen such a weapon. He could actually hit such a heavy thing at a distance of more than 200 meters and explode.

Chen Tian was thinking about what this was, and the deputy general next to him shouted anxiously: "General! General! No, the water flow was cut off by the collapsed rocks in the valley!"

"What!" Chen Tian opened his ears and didn't hear clearly, because his ears were rumbling because of the sound of shells.

The deputy general repeated it again. Chen Tiancai understood it and was shocked. Before he could react, Si Jun's second round of artillery shells had already arrived. This time, they all exploded on the city wall. Some stones had been blown away, and some shells flew over the city wall and exploded in the air. The flying shrapnel shot down one after another.

Chen Tian instinctively lay on the city wall and shouted, "Damn it, what's this!"

Next to the deputy general, there was a soldier who had just been killed. Seeing blood rolling out from his chest, he replied, "General, this weapon is so powerful, let's retreat first!"
