"We will capture Zengtou City in one fell swoop."
"And if we fail,"
"We'll withdraw our troops immediately,"
"Return to Liangshan!"
"But what follows,"
Zhao Yuan looked at everyone and reminded them,
"Don't tell the soldiers yet,"
"So as not to lose their will to fight."
"Yes!"
The leaders accepted the order and left.
After they left,
Zhao Yuan personally led Tao Zongwang and the others.
Together they moved explosives to the area below the city wall of Zengtou City.
Fortunately, before,
Liu Huiniang from Liangshan,
After learning about Zhao Yuan's use of gunpowder,
They then sent men to put all the gunpowder into wooden barrels.
Although there were wooden barrels in the way
However, for safety reasons,
Zhao Yuan still arranged for Tao Zongwang to lead the men first.
The number of torches in the tunnel was reduced by more than half.
Only a few lights that are absolutely necessary are left.
Subsequently,
Led by Zhao Yuan and Tao Zongwang,
A dozen or so soldiers carried huge barrels of gunpowder.
They were all moved into the tunnel one by one.
It was then transported to the area below the city wall of Zengtou City.
Then,
Zhao Yuan instructed Tao Zongwang to take the torch and retreat to a distance.
He then used his peripheral vision to open one of the gunpowder barrels.
Then they retreated.
They scattered gunpowder into the passageway.
After scattering for about fifty paces,
Zhao Yuan then stopped.
"Brother, let me light the fire."
Tao Zongwang suggested,
"no,"
Zhao Yuan shook his head directly.
"You've never witnessed the power of gunpowder,"
"Just in case you get distracted,"
"It will be very dangerous."
"Let's go up first,"
"Let's see if the army has assembled yet."
...
The Liangshan army began to assemble outside the city.
This was naturally noticed immediately by Shi Wengong on the city wall.
He quickly dispatched people.
Go find other people to come over.
Standing on the city wall,
Looking down in confusion,
The ever-growing Liangshan army.
"Gather now,"
Shi Wengong frowned and said,
"Could it be that Liangshan is planning to do this at this time?"
"Using dug tunnels to attack the city?"
Thinking of this,
Shi Wengong hurriedly descended the city wall.
They arrived at the water urns placed below the city walls.
"How about it,"
Shi Wengong asked the soldier guarding the water vat,
"Is there any movement in the water in the jar?"
Chapter 1452 Igniting the Gunpowder
"No,"
The soldier guarding the water vat shook his head.
“We’ve been watching it closely,”
"No disturbance was observed when water was added to the jar."
"Pay close attention, be extremely careful,"
After giving a word of advice, Shi Wengong...
We arrived at the city wall once again.
A moment later...
Su Ding, and the five tigers of the Zeng family,
They all rushed over.
“This… Teacher Shi,”
Zeng Tu looked down in astonishment at the large army of Liangshan that had gathered below.
"What exactly is Liangshan trying to do?"
"Have they dug the tunnel through yet?"
"I have already inquired with the soldiers guarding the water vat,"
Shi Wengong shook his head and said,
"They said they didn't see any water in the jar,"
"Any movement!"
"Could it be that they've already dug a tunnel through Liangshan?"
Zeng Suo began to speak.
"It's just that we didn't notice it on our side."
"But even if Liangshan has already dug tunnels,"
Su Ding frowned deeply.
"Shouldn't tunnels be used for surprise attacks?"
"The way they're assembling their troops so openly now,"
"We're not blind,"
"How could I not notice?"
"Even if they've already dug that tunnel,"
"But all we need to do is send someone to guard that tunnel entrance,"
"Even if many people from Liangshan break in,"
"Does he think he can just force his way out of the tunnel?"
"I was wondering about that too,"
Shi Wengong also spoke up.
"Look at the soldiers of Liangshan,"
"Besides the weapons they're holding,"
"There are only some ladders left to climb the city walls,"
"Do they still want to,"
"You think you can just take a direct assault with those ladders?"
"Maybe the leader of Liangshan really has something wrong with his head,"
Zeng Sheng said coldly,
"Previously, Liangshan had always been invincible in every battle,"
"That's why the leader of Liangshan Mountain really thought they were invincible!"
"That Liangshan chieftain was able to..."
Shi Wengong shook his head and said,
"That's how Liangshan grew so large,"
"He is by no means someone who is easily swayed by emotions."
"Gentlemen, no matter what,"
"Look at Liangshan like this,"
"It's obvious they're going to attack the city,"
"I will lead the current soldiers to remain on the city wall and hold the line."
"You all go and gather the soldiers,"
"We will assemble right under the city walls, ready to provide support at any time."
...
The people in Zengtou City,
They each began their own actions.
Meanwhile, at the Liangshan camp,
Seeing the group of leaders,
