I have to say that everyone is very cautious, especially those who rely on strategies, and Li Chong is the same. However, Li Chong also knows that one of the biggest disadvantages of such people is that they are too cautious and are unwilling to try some risky things. This may be that Li Chong is slightly stronger than these strategists.

Even if one and two million soldiers were not trained, if they were taken up the siege ladder, they would probably not be able to resist the number of people Li Chong and others. After all, Li Chong had only 40,000 people under him, and two fists could not match four hands. Even if these 40,000 people had three heads and six arms, they could not resist the crowd.

But no one could have thought that Li Chong had only 40,000 soldiers under his command, and he used these 40,000 soldiers to capture Kyoto. I am afraid that if the strategist learned of this situation, he would immediately vomit blood and fall to the ground.

In addition to the range of the crossbow, the generals also reach the attack circle. Obviously, these common people are not good, but the generals are still pretty good, at least they can fully execute the commands of the strategists.

After stopping for a thousand meters, he immediately retreated and returned to the military camp with heavy steps again. Li Chong was even happier at this time. He found that it had not been too long for these common soldiers to gather together. Even in this battle formation, their pace could not be completely consistent. It was obviously just to use it as a substitute.

There is no threat on the city wall for the time being, but Li Chong still did not withdraw his soldiers from the city wall. After all, the battle to annihilate the Indians in the palace does not require so many people.

Li Chong, who was relieved, took Tang Mo and others back to the square again. Now it was time for him to get rid of his biggest heart disease. Of course, this heart disease is these sealers in the palace.

At this time, these sealers in the palace were like a steel knife, which had been inserted into Li Chong's chest. At this time, only if you need to show your sharpness, Li Chong would die immediately. Of course, Li Chong would never give these sealers any chance.

The 20,000 soldiers are no longer assassinators. Under Li Chong's order, they are more like farmers and workers. Trucks of soil are transported and piled up on half-moon fortifications. Then Li Chong gave the order, each fortification was covered with kerosene. The fire quickly burned, illuminating the entire Kyoto.

Kerosene can instantly generate high temperatures. Under this high temperature, the slightly moist soil instantly drys, firmly bonding each piece of blue brick together.

But this did not meet Li Chong's requirements. It was continuous. Twenty half-moon fortifications outside the city wall that were only one meter away from the iron wall of the copper wall were baked by fire more than ten times. Even some places outside the city wall were burned red, as if they were entering a blacksmith's oven.

Finally, everything met Li Chong's request. At this time, the beams of the house with thick waists were lifted over and pressed against the other end of the half-moon fortification, like door bolts.

After everything was ready, the iron sheet on the palace wall also quickly cooled under the continuous washing of cold water, rolling white smoke came out, and the naked eye could see that there were actually fine cracks on some iron plates.

"Brother Li Chong, it seems that your method does not work much at all. At this time, those small half-moon-shaped houses are filled with kerosene and it is difficult to melt the iron sheet. What's more, you said before that there is a layer of iron sheet inside the palace wall, which cannot be baked at all. "Seeing that three hours have passed, everything still has not improved at all, Tang Mo couldn't help but suggest.

With a calm smile, Li Chong explained: "I don't know how to use fire to bake these city walls. This is absolutely useless. Otherwise, even if we really use this method to open the city wall, the sealers inside will still be difficult to deal with. After all, they can keep a distance immediately at any time, which will cause us to receive a heavy blow."

"Then why is this?" Xiao Liuzi asked strangely at this time.

"On the one hand, it is to strengthen our fortifications and make previous preparations for the final attack. On the other hand, I also want to give those sealers an illusion, so that they can feel that we have no way to do anything, so that they can be careless, and even stand on the small square to watch our jokes." Li Chong explained, while summoning the personal guards behind him, and then whispered a few instructions.

At this time, each of the hundred city guards rushed to the palace wall with a clay pot filled with gunpowder. Although the iron plate on the palace wall was not damaged at all, the gap between the iron plates would definitely increase under the heat/swelling and contraction. Each of these personal guards used long spears and inserted them into the inside along the gap.

Until they felt that the spear could no longer move forward and had heard the sound of attacking the iron plate, the guards stopped immediately, then filled the gunpowder and finally sealed the hole with wet soil, leaving a fuse.

When everyone was finished, Li Chong waved his hand, and nearly a hundred flames flashed, and then a loud noise that shook the world and the entire palace wall couldn't help but shake violently.

There was no smoke, no cracks, and the violent explosion was just a shaking sound of the palace wall. That's all. Seeing this result, Tang Mo, Xiao Liuzi and others immediately pulled down, but on the contrary, there were shocking laughter in the palace.

It’s not that Tang Mo, Xiao Liuzi and others were discouraged. This attack just now used up more than half of the gunpowder in the entire army. Now the gunpowder in Li Chong’s hand can only barely be equipped with all the brothers.

With a smile on his face, Li Chong didn't care at all. He waved his arm again. Nearly ten thousand clay pots were neatly placed on the square, interlaced layer by layer, quickly covering the entire square. At the same time, the hundred personal guards acted again. The last equipment of the 40,000 soldiers in front of Li Chong was quickly carried into the square. According to Li Chong's previous instructions, all the burst bamboo tubes were carefully placed in the designated position.

"Everyone retreated to the city wall." Seeing that everything was done, Li Chong immediately ordered everyone to retreat and retreat to the city wall. At this time, the square was empty, only tall crock pots were left.

Frowning, Tang Mo and others didn't know what Li Chong was going to do, but they knew that they shouldn't ask too much at this time. Since Li Chong was able to take all his brothers' equipment, he must be completely sure. They are just watching and learning Li Chong's strategy now.

He ordered everyone to cover their ears and grow their mouths at the same time. Li Chong's thoughts moved, and his natal seal was cast out, which immediately turned into twenty fire lotus, and quickly floated to the twenty and a half-moon fortifications.

With a thought moving, twenty fire lotus fall at the same time, without any distinction between order and succession.
