Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 793
"Damn it, what exactly is that black iron rod, and why is it so powerful?"

In the tooth tent, Zhou Shahu looked in the direction of the city wall, and the scene of the city wall collapsing just now appeared in his mind, looking undecided in shock.

That is to say, he left the city wall ahead of time just now, otherwise, when the city wall collapsed, he might have died on the spot.

"General, I heard some gossip before that the soldiers in Beihai have developed a strange thing called explosives. It is said that it looks similar to a firecracker, but its power is hundreds of thousands of firecrackers. times."

"I used to think it was just a rumor, and didn't take it seriously, but when I saw it today, I realized that this thing really exists, and its power is indeed thousands of times stronger than that of a firecracker."

A subordinate stepped forward and told Zhou Shahu what he knew.

Zhou Shahu frowned slightly when he heard the words, and fell into deep thought.

"You mean to say that the thing they used to blow up my city wall just now is the explosive you mentioned?"

"General, I think it should be, otherwise there would be no other explanation."

The subordinate nodded, Zhou Shahu looked solemn, this was the first time he had heard of such a thing.

Fear is the nature of human beings, but what people fear is often not something stronger than themselves, but the unknown.

Such as ghosts.

It also includes explosives that they have heard of for the first time, let alone never seen before.

But vaguely knowing the true face of this thing, Zhou Shahu suddenly lost a lot of the fear in his heart for some reason.

He also raised his head at this time, his eyes fell on the subordinate, and then he continued to ask: "Since you know that this explosive is similar to a firecracker, do you know how to deal with this explosive?"

What happened to the explosives, Zhou Shahu has already roughly understood that he does not need to know more detailed content. The only thing he wants to know now is how to prevent the explosives.

Otherwise, the city wall would collapse as soon as it said it would. Before, he had seen all kinds of grenades on the other side. Although these grenades had not fallen into the crowd, he could know from his imagination that if these bombs really exploded on people, , the power must not be underestimated.

But after hearing Zhou Shahu's question, several generals all lowered their heads, showing embarrassment.

"General, we don't know."

"Humph."

Zhou Shahu snorted coldly, and originally wanted to curse, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back abruptly.

"General, the Beihai army outside the city is about to attack."

The subordinates quickly reminded Zhou Shahu at this time that the place where they are now is located in the tooth tent about a mile behind the city gate. It means that the enemy army has begun to enter the city.

At the moment when the city was robbed just now, Zhou Shahu just let his subordinates stick to the city wall, and then returned to the tooth tent to discuss countermeasures with his subordinates.

But after discussing this for a long time, there was no result.

He stood up again: "Hmph, I still don't believe that no matter how powerful their firecrackers are, they still make me defenseless?"

"I have defended Shazhou City for many years. If it is so easy to be breached by the enemy, I will..."

Before he finished speaking, at this moment, someone hurried in from outside the tooth tent: "General, something is wrong, the enemy army outside the city started to attack the city, and the troops in the city have been defending for less than half a stick of incense." , began to be defeated, and the enemy army will soon penetrate into the city..."

When the subordinate said this, he also raised his head and looked at Zhou Shahu, apparently to tell Zhou Shahu to make up his mind quickly, otherwise they would all be in danger.

Zhou Shahu looked gloomy, and asked in a cold voice: "You can't even last a stick of incense, what are you doing?"

In fact, he had already guessed that Wu You would start to attack the city, and he also vaguely realized that his troops might not be the enemy's opponent.

This is not surprising at all, Beihai's army is recognized by the Great Zhou as one of the most elite troops.

Except for the Marquis of Qinghai who guarded the Tubo Kingdom in the west for generations, the other armies of the Great Zhou had no combat experience all year round, so no matter how hard they trained, they still lacked actual combat experience.

To kill an enemy with his own hands on the battlefield is a transformative experience for a soldier.

It's just that Shazhou City is very peaceful all year round, except for the occasional Japanese pirates appearing in the east, basically there is no chance to go to the battlefield.

But the last time Japanese pirates invaded was also three years ago. Apart from that, in addition to training, they could only occasionally beat bandits.

It's just that in the peaceful age, there are almost no people who can't think about it and turn into bandits. It's just a few wanted desperadoes who form gangs and rob houses in groups.

To put it bluntly, the soldiers in Shazhou City are a group of recruits who have never seen any big scenes.

But in comparison, because of the severe cold climate in Beihai, the soldiers are much stronger. In addition, tigers and wolves are surrounded on the border of Beihai. Not only are there various tribes in the grassland, but also Jurchen tribes are always coveting the Central Plains. In China, if there is nothing to do, I like to go all the way south to find out the situation in the Central Plains.

In this way, for the soldiers in Beihai, war is a common occurrence.

After the city wall was blown down just now, the morale of the soldiers in the city obviously dropped a lot.

But the enemy army outside the city was aggressive, so Zhou Shahu knew who would win and who would lose.

But the speed of this defeat still made him feel unacceptable.

He took a deep breath, looked towards his subordinates, and then asked in a deep voice, "Don't we have nothing to do?"

"General, it's actually good to fight them head-on. Although the opponent is stronger, they are always flesh and blood. How can we still stab them in without bleeding?"

"But the weird thing in their hands is difficult to deal with. Whenever it falls into the crowd, there will be a sound of thunder, and many pieces of iron will splash around, like countless flying knives, piercing into the human body. It is painful."

Showing embarrassment under his hands, he said to Zhou Shahu.

At this moment, the eyes of another general in the crowd suddenly lit up: "General, why don't we fight them?"

"Did you fight with them?"

Zhou Shahu frowned and looked at that subordinate.

There is nothing wrong with fighting the enemy, but how to fight is what he cares most about.

"General, what we had always thought was to stick to the city and consume them to death with our sufficient reserves, but we didn't expect that they had that strange bomb in their hands, which made it impossible for us to guard against it."
