Chapter 227 Professional Mage
At the fifth update, before dawn, the Jin army camp came alive.
The Huotou Army got up early, and the camp was steaming hot, and the Huotou Army had already prepared breakfast for the soldiers.
The soldiers of various battalions of the Jin army waited under the city for a long time, and finally waited for the order of the chief general to attack the city. The soldiers had a full meal and then left the camp one after another and formed a formation.
At this time, Zhao Tai stood at the entrance of the tunnel, looked at a group of soldiers, raised a coffin, and instructed in a deep voice, "Remember, after putting the coffin, you must seal it with soil before you can withdraw!"
After the coffin is carried under the city wall, it will be filled with gunpowder and then sealed. However, if you want to blow up the city wall, you have to seal the tunnel again with soil to ensure that the impact force generated by the explosion is above your head to blow up the city wall.
Tang Liang immediately clasped his fists, "I understand!"
Zhao Tai waved his hand and said, "Go and do it!"
Tang Liang immediately led his subordinates and carried the coffin down the tunnel. A group of soldiers behind him carried gunpowder and followed closely behind.
At this time, the sun was rising, and it was just dawn. After a full meal, the Jin soldiers had already set up their formation under the city of Zhengzhou.
The news that the Jin army had left the camp and was preparing to attack the city was immediately reported to Guo Dehai.
Because yesterday, after learning that Zhao Tai was going to use the tunnel to attack the city, Guo Dehai relaxed and finally had a good night's sleep.
He slept until the morning from the afternoon, and was quickly awakened by his subordinates, and hurried to the city wall.
At this time, he did not go to the city, but came to the big jar first and asked, "Where is the Golden Thieves' tunnel digging into the city?"
The hundred households in charge of monitoring quickly said, "Report to the Grand Marshal, the Jin thief stopped digging last night. There was only movement this morning. But the sound should have reached the bottom of the city wall."
Guo Dehai frowned and was puzzled. Before he could dig into the city, why did the Jin thieves set up their formation and prepare to attack the city?
"Master, the voice stopped again!" A soldier who was listening to the movement suddenly stood up and reported.
Guo Dehai was confused and hurriedly lay down to listen, but there was no movement.
This made Guo Dehai feel a little puzzled. Just as he was puzzled, a burst of Jin soldiers suddenly rang out of the city.
When Guo Dehai heard the movement, he could only order his subordinates, "Continue to monitor and transfer three thousand soldiers to stay here."
After speaking, Guo Dehai hurried to the top of the city and saw the Jin army outside the city lined up into tofu-like block formations, with siege equipment standing in each formation.
At this time, Zhao Tai rode on a war horse, leading Wu Xian and others to wander among the various square formations.
Wherever he passed, the officers and soldiers raised their weapons and shouted loudly: "Duke Zhongguo! Duke Hengshan!"
Zhao Tai and Wu Xian walked in front of the formation, constantly raising the horse whip in their hands, responding to the soldiers' shouts, using this to inspire morale.
On the top of the city, Guo Dehai saw the scene outside the city, listened to the cheers of the tsunami, and looked at this posture, the Jin army was undoubtedly going to attack the city.
But he was a little confused. Why did Zhao Tai start to attack the city before his tunnel was opened to the city?
When people cannot explain something, they like to explain according to their own ideas.
He couldn't think of using gunpowder to blew the city wall to kill Guo Dehai. He could only explain Zhao Tai's actions based on his own cognition.
Soon, Guo Dehai found an explanation for Zhao Tai. Zhao Tai must have seen the tunnel approaching the city and was afraid that the movement and still disturbed the defenders, so he temporarily stopped digging and wanted to rely on the frontal attack of the Jin army to cover up the sound caused by the tunnel excavation.
In addition, the Jin army will attack the city with strong force, which will attract the defenders to defend the city, and the troops in the city will naturally be empty. At that time, the Jin army will rush out of the tunnel, and there will be no obstacles and will be able to better play the role of the surprise.
Thinking of this, Guo Dehai smiled on his face. He looked at Zhao Tai who was wandering in various formations and sneered repeatedly, "Zhao Tai, you are smart, and today's Japanese handsome guy will make you feel bloody and help me become famous!"
At this time, Zhao Tai and Wu Xian patroled each formation and returned to the central army. Tang Liang, who was responsible for burying explosives, happened to come out of the tunnel and report.
"My husband, the gunpowder has been buried!" Tang Liang reported.
Zhao Tai nodded with satisfaction, "Okay! Since that's the case, then prepare to attack!"
After speaking, Zhao Tai waved his hand and said, "Get the clothes and props."
The two personal soldiers immediately presented two pallets, one with a red Taoist robe worn by a high-level wizard, and the other with a sword, a spell, and a bell.
At that moment, Zhao Tai, under the gaze of many subordinates, put on a Taoist wardrobe, took a magic weapon, and then climbed the high tower to start his practice.
People at this time were superstitious, and Zhao Tai did everything he could to fight against Mongolia.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, a great wise and good teacher called for a high school and a million followers. Zhao Tai decided to take this opportunity to engage in superstition, so that his and other soldiers mistakenly thought that he could call for thunder.
In this way, from the perspective of his own soldiers, a mysterious color will appear on Zhao Tai.
The superstitious soldiers thought that Zhao Tai was a master, and felt that they had the protection of gods, and would become more brave in fighting in the future, and would be more loyal to Zhao Tai.
For the Mongolian soldiers, after the rumors spread, they would feel fear when they met Zhao Tai again and dare not fight with Zhao Tai.
On the top of the city, Guo Dehai saw Zhao Tai back to the central army, and the Jin army outside the city silenced. He knew that the Jin army was going to start siege, so he shouted loudly, "Arrowmen, the chariots are in place, and the Jin thieves are about to attack the city. If someone retreats in the face of the battle, die!"
The defenders on the city heard the call and immediately stood by their own positions. The archers set their bows and arrows, and the crossbowmen installed arrows on the crossbow bed, and pointed the sharp arrows outside the city.
The defenders on the city were ready and just waiting for the Jin army to attack, a sudden scene outside the city surprised the defenders on the city.
They stood at the top of the city and saw five or six hundred steps away, the Jin army looked high on the tower. One of them was wearing a big red Taoist robe, holding a sword in one hand and a bell in the other, and began to shout and jump on it.
When Guo Dehai saw this scene, he almost fell off his chin. He didn't expect that Zhao Tai would give him such an outing, which was really not high-end.
When the defenders on the city saw it, many people looked up at the sky, and there was no strong wind or dark clouds.
For a moment, the defenders on the city began to laugh out loud. Guo Dehai was quite ashamed to see this. "Hmph, I thought Zhao Tai was a character, and I didn't want to do these tricks. The battle between the two armies was comparable to the forces, equipment, formations, will and commands of generals. How could ghosts and gods win by ghosts and gods?"
Guo Dehai disdained Zhao Tai's actions, but Zhao Tai was lyrics on the platform, dancing vigorously, and looked like a professional mage.
At this time, as Zhao Tai jumped, Tang Liang held a torch in the tunnel, lit the lead, and hurried out of the tunnel.
In the dark tunnel, the leads flashed with fire, running deeper.
Zhao Tai on the high platform probably felt that Tang Liang had already ignited the lead, and then shouted loudly, "The Supreme Lord is as anxious as the law! The electric mother Thunder God, quickly descending magical powers to help me break the enemy! The Five Thunders are correct, boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!"
