The city wall, which was originally tensely guarding against the bureaucrats outside the city, became a little chaotic for a while.

Seeing this situation, Li Wangyou shouted loudly.

"Stop! If there are random runners who disturb the morale of the army, they will be charged with disobeying military orders and beheaded!"

All the yamen servants behind him hurriedly shouted together: "If there are any random runners, disturb the morale of the army, kill them!"

After the sound spread out, the fire chiefs and corporal chiefs on the city wall naturally knew that the young and strong must not be allowed to riot at this moment, and they shouted violently: "If there are any random runners, disturb the morale of the army, cut them off!"

In a short time, Li Wangyou's order spread throughout the four walls of the city through the mouths of the yamen guards and government soldiers above the city wall.

The cold word "cut" calmed down the young adults who were a little flustered before.

The military orders of the Tang Dynasty were strict, and although these young men were not soldiers, they knew it well.

Therefore, when the military order was handed down, even those young men who were worried about the safety of their relatives in the city did not dare to make any more noise at this moment.

Li Wangyou also had no time to take care of the situation inside the city at this time, because the bureaucrats outside the city had already begun to attack the city.

Liao people outside the city could naturally see the thick smoke rising from the county seat of Jiulong County.

How could those Liaoren leaders let go of such a good opportunity, and immediately ordered people to blow the horn, and ordered the Liaoren in the tribe to start attacking the city in disorder.

The situation was basically the same as the previous day. The fearless Liao people stood against the city wall, and the uninhabited soldiers rained arrows. After dropping dozens of corpses, they successfully pushed the rough wooden ladder against the city wall. .

The young men who helped defend the city began to throw down the rolling logs and stones to prevent the Liao people from climbing up. The Liao people's archers outside the city had also entered the range of their bows and arrows at this time, preparing to suppress the defensive forces on the city wall. .

Naturally, Li Wangyou didn't give those bureaucrats a chance to use their bows and arrows, and when a large number of bureaucrats gathered in the city, he immediately patted the shoulder of the government servant beside him.

"Go, let these Liao people see what it means to be inviolable, and let them taste the taste of shaking the sky!"

"Here!" The yamen servant with blood on his face was already flushed with excitement at this time, and after standing up and saluting to Li Wangyou, he rushed out with a dynamite bag in one hand.

Li Wangyou was habitually distracted.

Datang's military salute is really not good...

Holding fists and saluting is the military salute of the Tang Dynasty. Compared with ordinary etiquette, the difference is only that you don't bend down.

He couldn't help but began to think about it, should he turn around and give Li Er a suggestion and come up with a standard military salute?

The military salutes of all countries in later generations are similar, but Li Wangyou feels that in the era of cold weapons, it seems that the chest-beating salute of the ancient Roman Republic is more domineering.

When saluting, beat the chest with the right hand, which not only has momentum, but also shows one's strength.

He silently kept this matter in his heart, and planned to discuss it with Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde and other old hooligans after returning to Chang'an.

When he was thinking wildly, he heard a thunderbolt from the blue sky outside the city wall, which made the battlefield that was screaming for killing and shaking the sky suddenly quiet down.

Then, there were three explosions in the other three directions of Jiulong County. Obviously, it was Niu Wu and Zhang brothers who fought together.

Several explosive packages thrown down the city wall roared furiously in Datang after exploding one after another.

The shock wave brought by the explosion, as well as the flying gravel, were swept away within a radius of 30 meters around the explosive package in an instant.

The Liao people who had swarmed towards the city wall like ants before were immediately emptied by the sudden explosion.

The deafening sound, the flames soaring into the sky, the black smoke column, and the broken limbs and arms of the people who were blown up everywhere... deeply shocked everyone's hearts.

For a moment, no matter whether it was the soldiers of the Tang government on the city wall, the young men, or the bureaucrats outside the city, they were all dumbfounded. They stopped, twisted their stiff necks, and stared at the place where the explosion happened in a daze. Understand exactly what happened.

On Li Wangyou's city wall, the yamen servant responsible for throwing the explosives was even more flushed at this moment, and roared towards the city, with such force that even the veins on his neck bulged.

He didn't care if those Liao people were frightened into stupidity or not. After roaring, he chose a place where Liao people gathered again, ignited the powder in his hand with a fire bag with a grinning grin, and threw it out again with all his strength.

"Boom", another loud noise came.

After being hit by the fury of thunder twice in a row, looking at his companions who were completely disfigured and bloody, how could the Liao people in the city dare to continue attacking the city? With a terrified roar, they turned around and fled towards the woods outside the city .

Many Liao people, already terrified by the explosion, did not run away, but knelt on the ground and kept praying.

And the government soldiers in the city were not in the mood to shoot arrows at the escaped Liao people.

They were shocked by the shocking explosion, and they were at a loss for what to do.

A massive siege battle, just because of a few explosives, became anticlimactic, and it ended like this.

Li Wangyou was naturally quite satisfied with this, and he could solve the problem with a few explosive packs without a single soldier, so why not do it.

After the officials outside the city retreated, not long after, the fire inside the city was slowly extinguished due to the hard work of Dugu Feng and the people in the city...

(Recently, Laolong has two to three shifts every day, and there are still people who want to send me blades... I am too difficult! Change the money for blades into rewards!)

900 It's not a solution

In Jiulong County, at the critical moment when the Liao people attacked the city, someone deliberately set fire to it. It was obvious that someone did it deliberately.

Needless to say, its purpose is to cooperate with the bureaucrats outside the city to attack the city and deliberately create chaos in the city.

But the Liao people outside the city took the opportunity to attack the county, but because of the variable of the explosive package that Li Wangyou made, they were scared out of their wits and fled in a hurry.

After the crisis in Jiulong County was resolved, Li Wangyou ordered the two brigade commanders of the government soldiers to arrange the defense of the city wall, and then led Niu Wu and others to check the fire situation in the city.

When he found Dugufeng, he saw that the county magistrate of Jiulong County was already covered in dirt, and his light green official uniform was scorched with holes by sparks.

"Dugu Mingfu, how about it, is the loss too big?"

Seeing Li Wangyou appearing, Dugufeng quickly bowed and saluted: "My lord, fortunately, Wang Sima happened to organize people nearby to carry supplies for the government soldiers. He led a group of people to arrive in time to prevent the fire from spreading. Come on. After the officials arrived, they mobilized their hands and put out the fire."

Only then did Li Wangyou notice that next to Dugufeng, the middle-aged man whose face was covered with black ash and even his beard was burnt a lot was actually the one he didn't like to see. Sima of Yizhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Wang Yichun.

Seeing Li Wangyou looking at him, Wang Yichun quickly showed a flattering smile. On his pitch-black face, there were only a few white teeth showing, which made Li Wangyou very funny.

Wang Yichun, who was greedy for life and afraid of death before, was able to lead a group of people to put out the fire today, which relieved Li Wangyou's bad feeling towards him a lot.

"Wang Sima has worked hard."

Wang Yichun hurriedly bowed and saluted: "My lord, you are being polite. I just happened to be organizing the people nearby to carry the rolling wood and stones. When I saw that the granary was on fire, I hurriedly led the people to put out the fire. I am ashamed to say it." , As a Sima, the lower officials dare not go to the city wall to supervise the battle, and can only do small things within their capabilities."

Li Wangyou nodded with a smile: "When this matter is over, I will definitely ask for credit for Wang Sima."

"Thank you, Grandpa, for your kindness."

Here, Dugufeng has already led the clerks in the county yamen, roughly counted the losses in the granary, and came back to report to Li Wangyou.

"My lord, the officials have already led people to check it. The loss of food is not too big. About dozens of stones were burned, so it's not a big problem."

"That's good, how is the situation at the county government?"
