After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

Chapter 657 - 657 Surprise


657 Surprise

The Ge Kingdom’s men who had been lying in ambush had already shot all the arrows in their hands, but none of the Daliang soldiers were injured.

“Under the Protection Battalion,” Xiao Hanzheng said calmly. “Above the Horse Slaying Battalion.”

Following that, another group of thousands of soldiers ran out from behind.

They were also carrying things on their backs, but they were bamboo sticks.

They quickly pieced the bamboo sticks together to form a long bamboo pole. The front end had a sharp hook.

As soon as the shield was removed, these people immediately rushed out to hook a group of Ge Kingdom cavalry with long bamboo poles.

The sharp hooks hooked accurately.

The traps dug by Ge Kingdom did not cover the entire ground, but there was a distance between each pit.

Before they buried the items, their cavalry had been specially trained to charge back and forth on horseback.

Therefore, they charged like they did during training, and the horses avoided the traps.

However, as soon as they rushed over, they were hooked, and the horses fell to the ground. Even the cavalry on their horses fell down.

At least half of them fell into their own traps, along with their horses or were thrown away by their horses.

Ye Lui Donghe’s pupils shrank. He did not expect Xiao Hanzheng to have made so many preparations.

And the trap they had set up earlier had instead tricked their own people.

He changed his strategy. “Infantry, charge first.”

Therefore, the Ge Kingdom soldiers who were not riding horses held their weapons and charged at the soldiers of Daliang.

Xiao Hanzheng drew his sword. “It’s time to earn some military merits. Let’s go!”

Hence, the soldiers of Daliang also rushed forward.

The soldiers on both sides were engaged in a battle.

Ye Lui Donghe also rushed over on his horse with a broadsword and slashed at Xiao Hanzheng.

Xiao Hanzheng blocked the attack with his long sword and soon the two commanders-in-chief were fighting back and forth.

Shi Qingluo looked at the time.

She asked a few soldiers to bring up the little black ball that she had taken out from the storeroom.

These bombs were secretly made by her and her little husband, but this time, she still had to let her master take the blame.

“Learn from me. Use the catapults to ignite these little black balls and throw them at the Ge Kingdom army that is still surrounding us.”

The people present did not know what this was and were a little confused.

Liang Hengxiao looked at the black ball and couldn’t help but ask curiously, “What the h*ll is this?”

This thing was so small that it wouldn’t hit many people.

“It’s something very lethal. You’ll know later,” Shi Qingluo replied.

She picked up a few small black balls, lit them up, and placed them in the catapult.

She shouted to the soldiers, “Throw it out quickly.”

She and her little husband had thought that these explosives needed to be operated by a catapult, so the fuse was relatively long. This way, it was not easy to explode before they were thrown.

The soldiers did not hesitate when they heard her words. They threw a few small black balls at the Ge Kingdom soldiers.

When the Ge Kingdom soldiers saw the small black ball falling from the sky, they thought it was something like a stone and did not take it to heart.

“What’s wrong with these people from Liang? They actually threw such a small rock down and couldn’t kill a single person. What are they trying to do?”

Someone sneered, “They must be too weak to throw a big rock after starving for two days.”

The others also laughed.

However, before they could finish laughing, the small black balls suddenly exploded and swallowed them along with their voices.

This explosion instantly caused a large number of casualties.

Moreover, the sound of the explosion shocked the horses of the people on both sides.

Xiao Hanzheng’s horse followed him from the capital to the North Border. When he went to test the bomb, he had brought the horse up the mountain on purpose.

Therefore, his horse was already used to hearing this sound and would not be as shocked as when it heard it for the first time.

However, this was the first time Ye Lui Donghe’s horse had heard such an explosion, and it was instantly shocked.

Then Xiao Hanzheng found an opportunity to stab Yelu Donghe in the shoulder.

Ye Lui Donghe reacted very quickly. After being stabbed, he quickly jumped off the horse that was running around in shock.

Then, he retreated with his men.

This unexpected little black ball also disrupted Ye Lui Donghe’s strategic plan.

The soldiers on the city wall were shocked again.

“What is this little black ball? The power is too great.”

“Oh my god, just these few small balls actually killed a bunch of Ge Kingdom soldiers.”

“This lethality is not ordinary.”

Shi Qingluo said, “This is a small ball that my master used to make. I put the rest in the supplies. I brought it along this time.”

She ordered again, “Continue throwing them. When they’re all blown up and everyone is panicking, we’ll rush out.”

The soldiers present nodded hurriedly. “Yes!”

Then, they imitated Shi Qingluo and lit the little black ball with a fire match before placing it on the catapult and throwing it out.

Rumble!

Following the sounds of explosions, the soldiers of Ge Kingdom who were besieging the small city fell one by one.

The soldiers who were still alive near the city wall were all frightened and instinctively scattered in all directions to escape.

Shi Qingluo led her men down the city wall and mounted her horse.

She pulled out her sword and shouted to the soldiers who were already prepared, “Soldiers, follow me and charge out.”

The soldiers shouted excitedly, “Kill our way out! Kill our way out!”

Then, the city gate was opened and Shi Qingluo led the army out to quickly clean up the Ge Kingdom soldiers who were fleeing in all directions.

Ye Lui Donghe had already been saved by his deputy general and was protected by him as he retreated.

When he saw Shi Qingluo rushing over with a group of energetic soldiers, his expression darkened.

Didn’t they say that they would be weak on an empty stomach?

These Daliang people were truly treacherous.

Although they had heard from the spies that Xiao Hanzheng’s plan was to attack them together, the soldiers of the Ge Kingdom did not think much of it and thought it was impossible.

As a result, they were caught off guard, especially when they didn’t know what it was that had killed many of their soldiers. This made everyone panic, afraid that it would come crashing down on them.

“Shoot them!” Xiao Hanzheng shouted.

At the same time, he took out a signal tube and released a bunch of red fireworks.

Everyone saw a portion of the Daliang soldiers who were fighting suddenly roll up their sleeves, revealing a repeating crossbow.

Following that, a series of crossbows were fired, killing the Ge Kingdom soldiers standing near them.

Then, a group of Daliang cavalry suddenly charged over from the side. Standing not far away, they took out their bows and arrows and aimed at the generals and leaders of the Ge Kingdom.

They were all trained master archers, and they could shoot accurately.

This was the Holy Arrow Battalion that Xiao Hanzheng had specially trained. Some of them had sent King Yi back to the capital.

These were the remaining ones, but they could not be underestimated. They were like messengers who wanted to take lives. As long as they aimed at the target, there was nothing they could not hit.

Xiao Hanzheng’s inspiration for training this team came from his conversation with his wife.

He was also a little surprised that the effect would be so good and unexpected.
