Chapter 50 Section 23

At this time, the gate of the city was still fighting fiercely. Chen Zhong was directing the soldiers to block the gate of the city, while the Republican Army was rushing desperately. The gate of the city changed hands many times, and the corpses were about to block the gate of the city. There are few rivers in Langyue Province. Although trenches were dug in front of Tianlu Pass, the trenches were filled up by the Republican Army at this time. The Republican Army gathered more and more under the city. Guarding against the firearms of the Fire Corps, they were in a hurry, and the cannons had been fired so that the muzzle was red, and they couldn't fire for a while.

Are you really going to lose?Chen Zhong felt more and more heavy in his heart.Enemy troops also appeared in the rear, Xingchu went to meet the enemy, and has not come back until now. Fortunately, Cao Wendao risked his life to charge, which relieved the pressure on the gate of the city.But if the fight continues, the Tianlu Pass will probably not be able to hold on. After passing the Tianlu pass, there is a flat river without any obstacles. If this goes on, I am afraid that the Wude camp will be wiped out.He was terrified in his heart, his face was still rigid, and he personally led a group of soldiers to guard the gate of the city.

An officer suddenly shouted: "General Chen, another enemy is coming up!" Chen Zhong knocked down a republican army. Looking forward, he saw a black horse leading a convoy. He didn't know what it was, but it was probably a new weapon of the republican army.Seeing this black horse, Chen Zhong couldn't help but tremble, and murmured: "It's you again!" The first time he saw this boy named Zheng Sichu, Chen Zhong felt a sense of déjà vu.Seeing him now made this feeling even stronger. This is fate.At this moment, he thought of the person he respected the most in his life.

At this time, Zheng Sichu was also somewhat at a loss.If a fire dragon chariot was used to clear the way, the enemy would definitely be unable to stop it, but he couldn't bear the end of this amazing army like this. Don't think about it, this is war.He shook his head, and said to the deputy general beside him, "Are you ready?" The deputy general was already taking off the tarpaulin covering the fire dragon chariot, upon hearing Zheng Sichu's words, he said: "Okay, you can launch at any time." Zheng Sichu looked at the city gate again, and said, "Let's go!" Holding the white wooden gun in his hand, he rushed towards the city gate first.

The Wude Battalion is defending the Republican Army's attack with all its strength. It only thinks that Zheng Sichu's troops are nothing more than adding some strength to the enemy, and they don't care. How did they know that the fire dragon chariot has such an effect? Flames spewed out, and several Wude soldiers who were stacking bricks and stones at the gate of the city screamed, and their whole bodies were set on fire, rolling on the ground.Chen Zhongren was still on the side, never facing each other face to face, these flames rushed past him, his hair stood on end in fright, and he shouted: "Get out of the way!" But he was at a loss in his heart, thinking: "What should I do now? What should I do?"

At this time, Xingchu's voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Block the city gate with firewood!" When Xing Chu came back in time, Chen Zhong felt more at ease, but what Xing Chu said made him jump, and he shouted, "What?" A lot of blood was already stained on Xingchu's body, so he must have experienced a fierce battle.She said: "The stones can't be blocked, so we pile them up with firewood." At this time, the gate of the city is only blocked with broken bricks and stones. much faster.The firewood is burned to form a fire barrier, and the enemy can't get in.She didn't say anything more, and said to an officer next to her, "Is the aircraft ready?"

That man was the only one left in the Five Swords Slash, and his body was also covered in blood.He said: "Pull it up immediately." Chen Zhong was both surprised and delighted when he heard what the flying machine was. Xing Chu said: "Of course you can, but you can't sit on people." Chen Zhong's heart sank, and he said, "What's the use of that?" Of course, an empty flying machine can fly out, but if there is no one to control it, what's the use of the flying machine? "Using the way of the person, treat the person's body. How much gunpowder do we have?"

The five swords said: "There are still more than thirty catties." "Put it on right away!" At this time, the soldiers of Wude Camp threw all the burnable things at the gate of the city. There was thick smoke billowing at the gate, and the fire was blazing, so no one could approach them.Seeing that there was no danger here, she immediately ran to the top of the city, and Chen Zhong followed her with several people.As soon as he arrived at the city, Xingchu took out a binoculars and looked down. At this time, most of the soldiers of the Yongzi Battalion rushed out with Cao Wendao had died, and the banner had also fallen.She put down the binoculars and said sadly, "Uncle Cao died in battle."

Although Chen Zhong had already guessed this result, he was still shocked when he heard what Xingchu said, and said, "Xingchu, what exactly do you want to do?" "Desperate." Xing Chu didn't even have the slightest expression on his face, "Blow up their central army!" Chen Zhongdao: "But the cannon can't hit that far!" "I don't use a cannon, I use a flying machine!" Chen Zhong was taken aback. Although he was not sensitive enough, he already understood Xing Chu's intentions.The flying machine cannot take people, but it can still fly out with a dozen catties of gunpowder.After the flying machine is filled with gunpowder, the whole thing is regarded as a bomb, and it is entirely possible to blow up the enemy's central army.He beamed with joy, and said, "Okay, blowing up that bastard Bi Wei, death is worth it!"

Pain suddenly flashed across Xingchu's face, before he could speak, there was a sudden exclamation from the city, a tongue of fire shot up into the sky, and the pile of firewood was also scattered in all directions.Xing Chu shouted: "What happened?" An officer under the city exclaimed: "The rebels...the rebels broke through the fire barrier!" Zheng Sichu took the lead, and was about to charge away the soldiers of Wude Camp, but the enemy turned to block the gate with firewood, thick smoke filled the cave, and it was as hot as a steamer.The deputy general shouted: "Officer Zheng, let's go out quickly, or we will be burned to death!" They only thought that the fire dragon chariots were everywhere, and the enemy army would be defeated, but they didn't know that the enemy attacked fire with fire.

Zheng Sichu said: "I can't go, once they leave, they will have time to block the door." He knew that as long as he got out of the way, there would be no obstacles from the Wude Camp, and he would be able to block the door smoothly.The city wall of Tianlu Pass is high and steep, and one man guards the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it. Fang Ruoshui's soldiers can only break through the city gate through untold hardships, and they must not give up on this. The lieutenant general shouted, "But what shall we do?" "Push a dragon cart over there and add a fire!" The deputy general was startled, and suddenly smiled and said: "Good way!" The firewood at the gate of the city is burning, and the Wude Camp is also adding more firewood, but if you add more fire, it will make the fire burn more vigorously, and pile it there. The firewood burned up immediately, and the fire was so strong that they couldn't add any more, and they couldn't block the door.But looking at the pits and holes on the ground, no one with such strong strength could throw a dragon cart over. If someone pushed it, the person pushing the cart would definitely be burned to death.He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go! Whoever has the guts, come with me!" The dragon cart weighs hundreds of kilograms, and no one can push it. Zheng Sichu shouted: "Wait!" He looked at the top and said, "Give me the rope!" A soldier at the side handed over a loop of rope, and Zheng Sichu immediately stood up and stretched out his hand to reach it, but it still couldn't reach it.As soon as he gritted his teeth, the white wooden spear stabbed fiercely, right in the crack of the rock on the top of the city gate.There is a hole for a tether on the top, which was originally used for transporting extremely heavy objects, but it can also be used at this time.After the Baimu gun pierced into the crevice of the stone, the stone fragments splashed everywhere. He pulled hard, jumped up with his left hand, grabbed the stone hole with his left hand, passed the rope through, and said, "Tie it to the car!" The deputy general said: "Yes." He also understood Zheng Sichu's intentions, and waved his hand and shouted: "Come here, come quickly!" At this time, the heat in the city gate was almost unbearable, and the dragon chariots had to retreat temporarily. A little later, there was only one car left in front, and the boards of the car were scorching hot, and I was afraid that it would spontaneously ignite soon.The officer tied the rope to both ends of the dragon chariot and said, "It's done." Zheng Sichu had already pulled out the white wooden spear forcefully, and said, "Okay, swing over there!" The invisible knife is gone, and he has another waist knife with him.Although this knife is not as sharp as the invisible knife, it is still a sharp knife.Several soldiers pulled the dragon chariot back, and then pushed it forward violently. The dragon chariot immediately swung to the fire, was scorched by the flames, and immediately burned. Zheng Sichu jumped up and raised his knife. Cut to the rope. As soon as he jumped up, he felt a sudden sharp pain in his right arm. Although the injury was not too serious, he jumped up and down for a while, and the wound still burst. Although the blade cut the rope, this knife is not an invisible knife. Can be chopped off.Zheng Sichu's heart shuddered, knowing that it was not good, the burning dragon chariot would definitely burn himself when it swung back.He was anxious, and suddenly a black shadow flashed by his side, but the deputy general had also jumped up, and was slashing at the rope with his knife. The co-general was not injured, the rope was cut immediately, and the dragon chariot fell into the fire immediately.Zheng Sichu shouted: "Everyone, be careful!" As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes lit up, and a scorching wind rushed past his ears, and even his hair was scorched and curled up, but it was the dragon chariot. It exploded in the fire. At this moment, the gate of the city was opened, and the ground was full of embers of fire. Looking out, one could already see the situation inside Tianlu Pass.The soldiers of the Wude Battalion who were adding firewood suddenly increased in flames and were burned like a huge candle rolling on the ground. Zheng Sichu only had time to protect his head with his hands, and he didn't care about the burns on his body. Shouted: "Rush!" The Republican Army has swarmed behind them.At this time, there were more than 2,000 people outside the city gate, and the large group of people behind saw the momentum and rushed towards the city gate.At this time, the rolling wood and rocks thrown by Wudeying on the top of the city seemed like nothing. Xingchu was also stunned by the fire, she only thought that the fire barrier could be blocked for a while, but she didn't expect that it would be broken so soon.Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Zhong said: "Xingchu, I'll go down and block them!" With one stroke of his sword, he rushed down the city with his troops.The Republican Army's attack was too strong, and the Wude Battalion suffered astonishing losses. Cao Wendao's 2,000 troops were wiped out, and there were thousands of dead bodies in the city. Always around 5,000. Is this the end of Wudeying?Chen Zhong had never been afraid, but at this moment he couldn't help but feel palpitations. Xing Chu saw that Wujian Zhan seemed to be about to rush down the city, and shouted: "Hurry up, there is no time!" The Republican Army is already launching a general attack. If the enemy invades the city, even if this desperate attempt can succeed, it may be too late Tonight, now I can only hope that Chen Zhong will block the Republican Army for a while longer with his flesh and blood. However, is there any chance of winning with a flying machine attack?Although she carefully calculated the flight route of the flying machine during the test, it was the first time after all. It would have been nice to have thought of that sooner.Xingchu regretted it a little. If he could have thought of it earlier, using this flying machine to attack, the enemy's central army would definitely be doomed.In fact, she saw the Republican Army attacking with an airship and suddenly realized that the flying machine does not have to be used with someone sitting on it. At this time, the three flying planes had been installed, and Xingchu quickly counted with her left hand, estimating the position of the flag of the Central Army of the Republican Army, while adjusting the angle of the launcher, and when it was aligned, she shouted: "Ignite, launch! " The fuse was ignited, and the three flying planes flew out of the finished glyph at the same time.
