Chapter 99: Thunder on the Ground (2)

After only the Detachment of Women defeated Li Yun's army and entered the Hexi Plain, the Anle army that resisted along the way was no match for them. The Detachment of Women advances rapidly in Hexi along the way, and there is no decent resistance wherever they pass.

The newly born Anle Kingdom, the Anle Army, was formed temporarily, how could it be the opponent of the invincible female army swept through Guanzhong? The catapult bombarded several times, and the light cavalry crossbowmen went up and shot two rounds in a row without waiting for the infantry to cover it. Li Gui's Anle Army suffered heavy casualties. Seeing that the female army came over, he fled in sight. The female army chased after him, shooting and killed along the way, and captured as many as seven or eight thousand Anle soldiers.

After the Women's Detachment entered the Hexi Plain, the troops began to be divided into two groups, which gave a heavy blow to the Anle Army, who dared to resist. Wherever they passed, Li Gui's Anle Army was beaten to fear and dared to confront the Anle Army, that is, those who did not know the background of the Women's Detachment, or those who overestimate themselves.

When Li Gui received the news of defeat in various places, he was shocked. In order to prevent the attack of the Detachment of Women's Army from Anle Kingdom, Li Gui had no choice but to order all the soldiers of the Anle Army to enter the capitals of Zhangye, Xiping, Dunhuang, Paohan and Wu, relying on the high and thick walls to block the attack of the Detachment of Women's Army and give up the protection of all towns.

It took more than a month to wipe out all the towns of Anle Kingdom, and in the end only a few lonely counties of Anle Kingdom were left. In the end, the Women's Army bypassed the county town and arrived at Li Gui's old nest Wuwei City, intending to directly capture Wuwei City, capture Li Gui, and force other counties to surrender.

"Xueyi, you guarded those cars so closely along the way. What exactly are they? You can tell me now!" Li Xiuning looked at the closely guarded Wuwei City in front and asked.

"A weapon for siege - explosives/pharmaceuticals, also called Tianlei." Li Xueyi said calmly. He himself disliked the name of explosives/pharmaceuticals, and gave him a new domineering name.

"Strike weapon - explosives / medicine, heavenly thunder?" Li Xiuning didn't understand at all after hearing this.

Li Xueyi said with an excited look on his face: "Princess, you will understand. As long as you hear a loud bang, the city wall will collapse directly. We don't have to attack the city at all, just kill in, so I suggested that the princess go directly to Li Gui's capital."

"Is Xueyi as evil as you said?" Xiang Shanzhi, who had checked the terrain of Wuwei City not far away, came over when he heard Li Xueyi's incredible words and asked with a questioning look on his face.

"When I blow up the city wall, won't you know then?" Li Xueyi did not explain in detail, because he himself didn't know what was going on with those things, so he asked him to explain and he didn't know where to start.

Li Xiuning and Xiang Shanzhi didn't understand at all, and didn't know how to respond. They planned to take a look before talking. However, Li Xiuning and Xiang Shanzhi showed a worried expression on their faces, which obviously they didn't dare to believe it.

...

Outside Wuwei City, the Detachment of Women had tightly blocked the four gates of Wuwei City, and everyone in the city had lost all the passages to outside the city.

Even if the city is the best protection, it is also a prison. It is easy to get in, but once it is surrounded, it is difficult to get out.

In Wuwei City, Li Gui has been scared by the attack of the Women's Detachment for more than a month. He has never seen such a brutal army. The army led by Li Yun is Anle's strongest soldier. He has been easily defeated by the Women's Detachment. Even the famous general of the Anle Army, Li Yun, is no match for this war. How can he fight?

Li Gui sat in the main seat, looking at a group of officials below and asked: "Now that the Women's Army is at the city, can you have any solutions to retreat?"

The ministers of Anle Kingdom below all looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't know how to deal with it, nor did they know what to say to Li Gui. They had been frightened by the attack of the Detachment of Women over the past month, and they all lost their former inch and shut up.

Li Gui had a minister named Cao Zhen, who was quite talented. Seeing that the important officials in the hall didn't say anything, it seemed that they didn't know what to do.

Cao Zhen had no choice but to stand up and say, "Your Majesty, we can only rely on the city to resist the attack of the Detachment of Women's Army. The Detachment of Women came from afar and there were no heavy siege equipment, not to mention that their military rations and logistics would not be too sufficient. We just wait for them to have a shortage of food and they will retreat on their own."

"Okay! Let's make arrangements as you said!" Li Gui saw that the important officials below had no choice but to do so, and finally agreed helplessly.

…………

One day later!

Li Xiuning, Xiang Shanzhi, and Li Xueyi were on the high platform outside the city, observing the guards' deployment on Wuwei City.

"The defense of Wuwei City is very tight! The city wall is so tall. If you attack Wuwei City forcibly, it will probably cause a large number of soldiers to suffer casualties!" Xiang Shanzhi looked at the tall city wall and various defensive equipment on the city wall, and couldn't help but frown.

"Well! Wuwei City Grottoes are deep and high, and the city is guarded tightly. Our strong attack will inevitably bring great personnel losses." Li Xiuning was also helpless and there was no good solution.

After saying that, Li Xiuning turned his head and looked at Li Xueyi, hoping that Li Xueyi could really do it. After a rumbling sound, he could break the city wall, which could reduce the huge casualties caused by soldiers due to siege.

After seeing the terrain, Li Xueyi said simply: "Just use explosives/drills to blow up a gap in the city wall, but the moat is a big trouble. The moat is one hundred steps away from the city wall. If we want to blow up the city wall, we must pass that hundred steps away."

"What is explosives/pharmaceutical?" Xiang Shanzhi immediately asked after hearing Li Xueyi's words. The main reason is that there is no real fire/pharmaceutical in this era, so naturally there will be no explosives/pharmaceuticals. It seems normal not to know what explosives/pharmaceuticals are.

"Didn't I say it a few times just now? Just put the explosives under the city wall, and the city wall collapses with a loud bang." Li Xueyi said with an unhappy look. He had already said that he could blow the city wall down several times, but Xiang Shanzhi obviously didn't believe in him and actually planned to use the old method to attack the city.

After saying that, Li Xueyi reported: "Princess, I hope to block the road and prevent Li Gui from losing and running away, so that we can solve the Anle Kingdom of Li Gui in one battle."

"Wuwei City is not easy to attack! If you can't attack, what do I think you will do?" Xiang Shanzhi didn't care about Li Xueyi's unhappiness, and he still reminded him with kindness.

"Since you don't believe it, I am willing to issue a military order!" Li Xueyi said in a deep voice. He was full of confidence.

Li Xiuning knew that Li Xueyi would not joke about the lives of the soldiers of the Detachment of Women's Army at all, so he nodded and agreed immediately. Even if Li Xueyi's plan failed, the Detachment of Women would not lose any merits.

"As long as the thing you said works, we will dig the tunnel, dig the tunnel under the city wall, then make a big hole under the city wall, and then bury the explosives/pharmaceuticals you said, it's okay." Xiang Shanzhi was willing to make a letter from Li Xueyi's army, and he didn't say his own way when he was talking nonsense.

"Oh! I'm a good idea for you!" After hearing Xiang Shanzhi's words, Li Xueyi was overjoyed. He walked over and patted Xiang Shanzhi's shoulder happily, and laughed with his palms.

Li Xiuning believed Li Xueyi's words now, and thought for a moment and said, "The Anle Army can deal with authenticity in two ways. One is to smash a big stone, so the authenticity cannot be too shallow. The second is that the other party also digs, and after opening it, it will be flooded with water and poison. We should dig secretly at night and make an attack during the day, so that we can be foolproof."

"Okay! Let's do it according to the princess's method." Li Xueyi said excitedly. The power of several kilograms of explosives/pharmaceuticals is so shocking. He also wanted to see how the hundreds of kilograms of explosives/pharmaceuticals exploded at the same time, and it also made Xiang Shanzhi who did not believe in his knowledge of what the Wrath of Thunder is.

…………

That night, a team of soldiers from the Women's Army secretly crossed the moat and quickly began to dig the tunnel. After a stick of incense, a small trench as deep as half a person had been dug out. The Women's Army then covered the thick wooden boards on the trench as a shield, and then continued to dig into the city wall.

The Anle Army in the city is not a fool. The Detachment of Women was secretly digging tunnels. The Anle Army on the city wall heard the noise. It felt like something was wrong, so he quickly reported it gradually.

At this time, Li Gui from Wuwei City was uneasy and sat on the newly customized dragon throne, considering the future of Anle Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, the lady's army is digging tunnels now, and it will probably be dug under the city wall in no time." The general guarding the city hurried in and reported.

Li Gui, who was thinking, suddenly heard the report of this matter and suddenly felt excited.

"Does the Women's Army plan to dig tunnels to attack the city?" Li Gui asked in panic.

"Dig a tunnel?" Li Gui's confidant An Xiuren said to himself after hearing this.

Then An Xiuren walked forward with joy on his face and reported: "Your Majesty, don't worry, such a trick. We just need to put a large urn in the city and put a person with sharp ears into it to listen to the sound and determine the position. Then dig a tunnel from the city, and then flood it with poisonous water to ensure that the Detachment of Women will never come back. And it is hard to say that it will damage the Detachment of Women this time."

"Okay, then go and do it quickly. You must block the Detachment of Women." Li Gui was overjoyed after hearing An Xiuren's method and hurriedly urged An Xiuren to go and do it quickly.

An Xiuren left the palace and immediately sent someone to find Dawen and someone with a sharp ear, and began to deal with authentic countermeasures.

At the same time, An Xiuren was full of energy and ordered An Lejun on the top of the city to ignore it and let the Detachment of Women continue to dig, and then he would give the Detachment of Women a big surprise when it was dug into the city.
