Turbulent Times Chapter 1207: This is the punishment from the gods
"Thank you, Second Master." Pei Xin'er knelt down and bowed to Pei Ji. She was originally an orphan, but was raised by the Pei family for her to read and write. There is a deep sense of gratitude.
"Pei Zixiong, you immediately take the son to the No. 1 secret room at the bottom, and personally lead the masters of the house to watch. Without my order, no one is allowed to enter or leave." Pei Ji walked over, holding Pei Xiner He lifted it up with his slender hands, and ordered loudly.
A middle-aged man with a steady expression stepped forward and bowed: "Second Master, don't worry, the son will never escape from the No. 1 secret room."
Pei Ji added: "Not only can the prince not escape, but he must be kept intact."
Pei Zixiong hurriedly said: "Second Master, don't worry, Zixiong understands what to do."
After speaking, Pei Zixiong brought Li Jiancheng down with a group of powerful masters.
"Come here, send an order to let all the direct descendants of the Pei family enter the underground secret room prepared in advance."
"Pei Zichao, you lead all the guards to block the gate, and start to guard against it. No one is allowed to enter the mansion. Anyone who dares to break in by force will be killed without mercy."
Pei Ji issued two more orders in succession. These things were planned before, and all preparations were made in advance, and the orders were quickly implemented after they were issued.
Xia Houduan and Li Shentong's confidants and generals became suspicious of the Pei family and sent people to watch secretly. Xia Houduan was even ready to bring troops to destroy the Pei family at any time. I thought about dispatching a large number of people to seize the city gate.
The Pei family's goal has always been Li Jiancheng's melon skin, and the credit for capturing this melon skin alive is no less than breaking a city gate in front of Wang Junlin.

………
When turmoil broke out in Taiyuan City and 6,000 people organized by the Wang family at the west gate seized the gate, the Far East Army outside the city also moved according to the established plan, but their actions were very covert.
The Far Eastern Army has been besieging the city for the fifth day, and it has not launched a siege from the beginning to the end. The soldiers defending the city are a little numb and tired, especially at this time when the turmoil in the city has attracted their attention Attention, and the Far East Army camp outside the city has never moved, so the soldiers of the Li Family Army guarding the city lost their vigilance outside the city.
Of course, this is also related to the various illusions created by the Far East Army these days.
In the past few days, the soldiers of the Li family army who defended the city have seen very clearly that although some people in the Far Eastern Army are building siege equipment, they don't seem to have built any large siege equipment. They only brought in a lot of wood and built some ladders. And some trebuchets.
According to this progress, no matter what happens, we will have to wait at least another four or five days before we can attack the city! Besides, according to common sense, the Far Eastern Army should choose daytime for the first time to attack the city!
The sky is gloomy, covered with red clouds, there is no starlight or moonlight, the night is pitch black, and nothing can be seen dozens of steps away, and there is only endless darkness outside the city.
The soldiers guarding the southern city wall could not see or imagine that there was a group of soldiers from the Far Eastern Army in the ditch a hundred steps away. To be precise, they were twenty black-armored dead soldiers from Snake Island.
These twenty people kept pouring out of the tunnel, using the cover of the dark shadows and dead corners under the city gate, as well as the cover of various noises coming from the city,
Slowly sneaked into the south gate.
The twenty black-armored soldiers, each carrying a full hundred catties of gunpowder, walked silently towards the south gate.
The black-armored soldiers from Snake Island are the most heinous people in the world. Most of them are prisoners captured by various forces of the Far Eastern Army or the government under the Far Eastern Army. , A series of systematic and logical means trained to become a dead soldier.
Such warriors have trained more than 2,500 people on Snake Island over the years. Three years ago, a thousand people were sent out by Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu to lurk in various parts of the world. Base area behind enemy lines.
Some of them have died, but some have successfully established bases behind enemy lines in Guanzhong, Hedong, Sichuan, Jiangnan, Huainan, Huaibei and other places, but the scale is different.
These twenty black-armored warriors walk very carefully, and their shoes are also special silent shoes, so there is almost no sound at all. The soldiers of the Li family army didn't look down, even if they did, they couldn't see anything.
Soon, twenty black-armored soldiers arrived in front of the south gate, and climbed evenly on the gate.
Then, they took out a brass pipe from their pockets, pulled out the pipe cap, and there were several fiery red stone carbon inside.
Using this flaming carbon, they ignited the fuse of a hundred catties of gunpowder in their arms.
The sound of twenty fuses being ignited and burning at the same time was quite loud. The soldiers of the Li family army on the other side of the city gate seemed to hear something faintly, but this sound was very strange to them, and they didn't know what it was for a while. While being vigilant, he put his ear on the door and listened.
…
…
In the distance, in the distance, Wang Junlin personally led nearly 50,000 cavalrymen from the Cyclone Battalion to slowly move towards Taiyuan City.
In the dark night, these tens of thousands of horses are like ten thousand people going on a pilgrimage, without a torch, walking slowly and lightly in the dark.
Wang Junlin rode a blood-maned horse at the front, leading a sea of people and horses walking through the fog, and the surroundings were rustling, jingling, jingling, and horses sneezing from time to time. Exhale heavily.
As Wang Junlin and the blood-maned horse approached in the dark night ahead, it seemed to contain some awesome unknown power, which was extremely weird, terrifying and powerful.
Wang Junlin stopped when nearly 50,000 cavalry from the Xuanfeng Battalion were about 500 steps away from Taiyuan City.
Luo Shixin led the generals above the captain of the whirlwind battalion to come slowly on horseback, and gathered in front of Wang Junlin.
Wang Junlin did not speak, but stared at the south gate of Taiyuan City calmly, and then waited quietly in the dark night.
After a while, Wang Junlin felt that the time was almost up, so he said to Luo Shixin and the other generals: "Wait for a while when the explosion sounds, then act according to the previously discussed plan. Yes, the main purpose is to carry out street fighting. Our strength is not as large as the opponent's, and the terrain is not as familiar as the opponent's. This is our disadvantage, but our combat power is strong, especially the battle formation is strong, and the Li family's army itself is afraid of our army. Wait a minute With the sound of the explosion and the break of the city gate, they will fear us even more, and you must make good use of this."
The generals hurriedly claimed yes.
Wang Junlin also ordered: "In short, there is only one principle: kill and injure the enemy as much as possible, and preserve yourself."
Pause, Wang Junlin thought of something, said: "By the way, people from the Wang family and Pei family will cooperate with us, and people from the Hundred Swords League, we must pay attention to using their people to stabilize the situation around us, and kill Enemy, don't kill these three families by mistake."
"Here." Under the leadership of Luo Shixin, all the generals clasped their fists and bowed in response, and then returned to their positions, ready to charge.
The ears of the nearly 50,000 cavalry horses of the Far Eastern Army are all stuffed with the standard horse earplugs manufactured by the Yancheng Weapons and Equipment Production Base in Fanyang County. Mouth opened wide.
"No matter how thick and strong Li Yuan's city gates have been made over the years, they can't compare with the city walls. What's more, I have prepared two thousand catties of explosives. I don't believe that the city gates can't be blown into pieces."
Suddenly, Wang Junlin saw twenty small lights and spots of fire appearing in the direction of the south city gate almost at the same time.
Wang Junlin's breathing stopped suddenly, and the bodies of all the soldiers of the Far East Army tensed up instantly. Even some spiritual horses understood what the twenty flames represented, and were ready to gallop.
The next moment, there was a flash of flames soaring to the sky where the south gate of Taiyuan City was located, half of the world was lit up for a moment, and then a giant ball made of thick smoke rose into the sky, flying very high .
Then, the ground began to vibrate, as if a very strong earthquake suddenly occurred...
"Boom!" A loud noise came at the same time as the feeling of the earthquake.
Even if separated by Li Xu, the nearly 50,000 Far Eastern troops led by Wang Junlin felt that the world was shaking.
In their eyes, through the flames of the explosion, they saw that the gates and towers of Taiyuan City had collapsed and turned into ruins.
This seems to be the anger of the gods, it is the punishment of the gods, and it has turned into a huge force, causing the sky to fall apart, re-clarifying the order of this troubled world, so as to order the world and let the people live a peaceful life.
Countless earth and rocks splashed in all directions amidst the rapidly spreading thick smoke, and shot at Wang Junlin and the others head-on. , It seems that even if there are thousands of troops and horses, they will be wiped out and turned into dark clouds in this terrifying explosion barrage.
Even though the Far East Army has used a lot of gunpowder weapons, it is the first time that so much gunpowder has been used at one time, so nearly 50,000 soldiers of the Far East Army were stunned at this time.
They naturally knew that it was the power of the gunpowder explosion, but they believed that it was also because their prince used divine power to borrow the power of the gods, so that the gods in the sky punished the enemy.
Wang Junlin was naturally not in a hurry to lead people to charge immediately.
Because, what followed was the sound of "Papapapa...", that was the sound of exploding stones and clods falling to the ground one after another, like the sound of a huge hailstone.
After the sound of the "hail" falling to the ground, a strange silence was restored between the heavens and the earth, but this silence was very short, so short that the soldiers of the Li family army and hundreds of thousands of people in Taiyuan City felt suffocated, making them unable to breathe.
