"But this woman... this woman is so... so hateful. Now the people in the city cannot move at all. General Tokugawa has been waiting for our news. What should we do!" Morita Sui was so angry that she almost didn't know what to say. Looking at Gong Shaochen, she looked distracted. Although he secretly complained, he didn't dare to say anything in front of Gong Shaochen.

After all, this man is cruel and ruthless. In Zhongyuan, he is the nominal supreme commander of action, and he is indeed more familiar with Zhongyuan than himself.

"Didn't Tokugawa always think Yunzhou is easy to conquer, and we have always felt that we have made no achievements in the Central Plains for many years. Since that's the case, it would be good to let him see our difficult situation." Gong Shaochen shook the fan in his hand without any worry, and a cold and dark light flashed in Danfeng's eyes.

"This...this..." Morita Sui-ho was so tired that she was sweating like a slurry when she heard this.

He knew that General Tokugawa, whom he was loyal to, had never been very harmonious with His Highness, the prince of Isegong, and his general did give this Highness a lot of eye drops in front of Her Queen.

"What, if you have a good way, then go and talk to your general." Gong Shaochen smiled lazily, got up and walked out of the yard.

The small courtyard in winter is naturally not comparable to the Ise-Mikawa Temple. The plants and trees are withered and look a bit solemn.

He looked at the coldness of the garden, but his heart was rarely quiet. He looked up and listened to the sound of fighting in the distance. He didn't know what he remembered, and suddenly said with a faint expression: "How is the picture behind Hong Ling done?"

Gong Shaosi appeared behind him at some point, holding the Japanese sword and leaning against the tree: "It's almost done, the people on Xiangshan Dao are not bad at craftsmanship, but the master also said that without Chu Yu's back, she could not complete the final task. After all, no matter how different the meridians and blood vessels are, there will be differences."

"Yes." Gong Shaochen pondered for a while, then said, "Tell the master and let her continue, Chu Yu, I'll find a way."

When Gong Shaosi heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression was a little strange, and then nodded and said, "Yes."

...

The situation inside the city has been controlled.

But the situation outside the city is not optimistic.

"Boom!" A huge muffled sound, a huge sound of artillery fire, accompanied by the smell of gunpowder, drifted across the city.

The deafening sound made Huo Yao frown almost unbearably, his whole face buried in his knees. After the scattered gravel fell, he turned over and leaned on the top of the city. He raised the long sword in his hand and chopped down the ladder with a "clang" and kicked the Japanese pirates who were about to climb up the city wall together.

"Ahhhhh-!" After a scream, the Japanese pirates fell to pieces.

"Hurry, cut down the city hook and the city ladder!" Huo Yao wore a war armor and swept over the top of the city like a meteor, commanding the soldiers fiercely.

"Kill!" The battle unfolded in every part of the Yunzhou city wall.

But not long after, another huge roar rang out on the city.

"Boom!" Flying sand and stones.

"Be careful!" A soldier's roar sounded.

At that time, Huo Yao was flying up to kill the Japanese pirates who had already climbed up the wall. The long sword flashed and blood splashed everywhere, killing the Japanese pirates on the city wall in a mess. His back was in a daze and almost got bombarded by the artillery fire.

But the next moment, a soft horn stretched out horizontally, grabbed his arm, pulled him roughly, and hugged him directly in his arms. Huo Yao subconsciously wanted to go back to the knife and slash towards the man, but the familiar fragrance made him turn the knife in the air and sheath it.

The two rolled a few times in the air. Although they avoided the cannon, they directly climbed over the other side of the wall and were about to fall down from the wall, which caused the soldiers to exclaim, but they didn't expect the woman to raise her hand and bounce a dagger on her hand. The sharp dagger blade pierced three inches into the city wall. She grabbed the dagger with one hand and hugged Huo Yao with the other. The two of them hung under the wall like a hoist.

Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief.

Huo Yao turned his face and looked at the powerful woman who was holding her. He couldn't help but say angrily: "What are you doing here? Huo Sanniang, didn't you say that you would like to watch the fish!"

Huo Sanniang looked at the handsome man wearing armor in her arms. There were black marks of fire and blood stains on her face, but it only made him look cooler. A light flashed in her eyes, she smiled, lowered her head and kissed him without hesitation.

"Hehe, Xiaohuoer, you are so handsome."

Now, the soldiers who rushed over and prepared to hold them were stunned. Then, they didn't care about the war, and even let out a burst of laughter and whistle.

Huo Yao froze instantly, his face turned blue, black, and red. He raised his hand and pushed Huo Sanniang away, kicked the city wall with his toes, and directly turned over the city wall.

"Get out, there is no need to defend the city, right? I'm waiting for the Japanese pirates to climb up to eat your meat!" He thrust hard with his scabbard and directly thrust his soldiers.

The rest of the martial guards immediately suppressed their smiles and turned around to urge the city defense to go.

The soldiers were all screaming because of the thunder, and immediately turned around and hurried to guard the city on the other wall.

"Little Huo'er!" Huo Sanniang also turned over and was about to come to Huo Yao's side.

Huo Yao turned cold, raised his hand and rubbed the ash on his face, lifted his knife and turned around and walked towards the other end of the city wall.

"Hey, why don't you ignore me!" Huo Sanniang followed him, raised her eyebrows, raised her hand and pulled his clothes.

But the next moment, Huo Yao suddenly turned around and pressed her against the city wall, lowered his head and looked at the petite Western Region woman in his arms with gloomy eyes, and said gritting his teeth: "Do you know how dangerous this place is. These Japanese pirates are prepared and are all equipped with fiery cannons. Do you know what that is? It is something even more powerful than the thunder bomb. If Yunzhou City had not been strengthened for many years, it might have been unable to hold on. Do you understand that the body is in the flames, no matter how powerful the martial arts are, it will be destroyed!"

Huo Sanniang seemed to be startled by his movements and looked at him in a daze.

Huo Yao took a deep breath, let go of her, and said in a gloomy manner: "Now, get back immediately. The battlefield is not where women should come. Go and stare at the little lady!"

If something happened to Chu Yu, they would not be able to explain to the Lord at all.

Huo Sanniang looked at Huo Yaoyin's angry eyes. Seeing that he turned around and was about to leave, she pulled the corners of her lips and actually grabbed his arm. Her big green eyes, which were as green as jade, had a smile: "Are you worried about me, Xiao Huoer?"

"You... this woman is simply unreasonable. The person who came to escort her down the city wall!" Huo Yao looked at her, his expression froze, turned around and was about to leave with a dark face, and at the same time signaled the other soldiers to come up and take Huo Sanniang away.

"Wait, okay, let's not talk about anything else." Huo Sanniang looked at Huo Yao and was really angry and said quickly: "It was the little lady who asked me to come!"

"What did she ask you to do?"

Huo Yao had not responded yet, but Shui Yao came out of nowhere. He was wearing war armor, and his delicate and enchanting eyebrows and eyes were less charming as usual under the armor, and he had a rare sense of heroism and fierceness.

"I know she has the most ideas. Why, she also knows that the Japanese pirates have extraordinary combat effectiveness this time?" Shui Yao held Huo Yao and signaled the others to continue fighting, while looking at Huo Sanniang seriously.

Since he knew that Chu Yu had created a "Chaoyang masses" and directly cured the entire Yunzhou city road during the war, let alone Japanese pirates and spies dared not appear. If they emerge, they would be surrounded and suppressed by the "Chaoyang masses". He was even more impressed by Chu Yu's elves' mind.

Huo Sanniang nodded and said seriously: "Yes, you don't have to worry about her safety. She also discovered that the Japanese pirates' firepower was really fierce and they were even more prepared. So I asked me to inform you to wait for the enemy to retreat and change people on duty. She wants you to go to the Eighth Formation Courtyard. She has some new things to hand over to you!"

Huo Yao and Shui Yao looked at each other, and they both saw a strange look in each other's eyes, and then nodded together.

…*…*………………

That night, the north wind was chilly, and the chirping of birds made people feel cold.

The Ba Formation Courtyard was brightly lit.

Hundreds of ceramic jars were placed on the ground.

"Okay, two taels of salt, three taels of sulfur, charcoal..." Lao Jin looked at the book in his hand and directed people to fill the ceramic jar with gunpowder.

Everyone wore masks and gloves on their faces, and they carefully filled the jar with medicine.

On the other hand, Chu Yu was directing the maids to paste the sky lanterns.

"Slow, slow down, you must maintain balance and be able to put it up in a while, and you have to tie the thread." Hongxiu asked the two little maids to hold a huge sky lantern firmly and then went to light the turbid oil under the lamp by himself.

The group of maids looked at the sky lantern in their hands excitedly and chattered.

As soon as Huo Yao and Shui Yao entered the Eight Formation Courtyard, they saw this scene. They were stunned and their faces were very strange.

Lao Jin's serious appearance formed a sharp contrast with Hong Xiu's laughing appearance.

And there is a large pond separated between them, which makes them even more distinct.

"What are you doing? Light the sky lantern?" Huo Yao and Shui Yao looked at each other, and decided to go to Chu Yu. Seeing Chu Yu directing people to cover the sky lantern, Shui Yao couldn't help but speak curiously.

After all, they have experienced many things, from Mobei to Jiangnan, and after seeing Chu Yu's calmness and change of intention, they no longer dare to be prejudiced against Chu Yu, and they dare not speak sarcastic like they did before.

Chu Yu held the sky lanterns prepared by the maids, and looked down at the location where the tincture oil was placed, and said, "Yes."

"But... this thing is your newly made weapon. How to use it? I'll scare them to death by putting the sky lantern in the middle of the night?" Shui Yao looked at the maids' drawings on the sky lantern, making the whole lamp bloody, and it looked like a ghost-like lamp, and it still couldn't help but mutter.

After Chu Yu finished the inspection, he raised his head and showed a clever smile: "What's wrong with it? Those who surrender to the enemy should attack the heart!"

As she said that, she suddenly whistled, and Huo Erniang picked up a ceramic jar from Lao Jin, then flew over the water and handed it to Chu Yu.

Chu Yu carefully took the jar from her hand, and then asked Hongxiu and several maids to help fix the sky lantern that looked quite ferocious in his hand. Then he put the jar into the iron ring holder under the sky lantern, and then covered a grass lid above the jar, and then told Hongxiu: "When ignite the fire, be careful not to let the fire fall below."

"Yes, don't worry." Hong Xiu nodded, took a fire note and ignited the tinder.

After a while, the sky lantern, which was tall by man, floated slowly.

In the dark night, a sky lantern with a ferocious female ghost floated up like this, looking extremely cunning.

Huo Yao and Shui Yao both frowned slightly as the sky light floated into the sky.

As soon as the wind blew, the sky lantern slowly floated on the water.

The next moment, Chu Yu glanced at Huo Erniang. Huo Erniang was ready, holding a long bow in his hand, pinching a black feather sword in his hand, bent his bow and arrow, and the wind shot out.

With a "swoosh" sound, the long arrow broke through the sky lantern. The sky lantern was originally made of paper, and the tincture oil inside instantly burned and poured on the ceramic jar. At the same moment, the ceramic jar fell directly to the water without the lifting of the sky lantern.

Just as it fell to the water—

"boom!"

With a loud bang, water splashed everywhere and the ground shook.

Huo Yao, Shui Yao and others were directly splashed with water on their heads and faces, and Chu Yu and others were ready to retreat far away without any impact.

"How?" Chu Yu walked over to Huo Yao and others with a smile, with a smile that was almost evil in his big eyes.

Huo Yao was stunned for a while, and he raised his hand and wiped his face silently, looking at Chu Yu, with an excited and complicated expression: "Today, I, no, my subordinates realized... Third Master really has vision than us, so he is Third Master, and we are subordinates."

Chu Yu is clearly the most dangerous weapon for the real humanoid self-revolution.

...

Chu Yu smiled, but the smile was a little complicated and absent-minded: "Well, this is actually nothing, it's just a trick."

The siege mode of this era is actually quite similar to later generations. Cannons, thunderstorms, thunder bombs, etc. have appeared, but there are no easy-to-use muskets. Muskets that always need to be filled with gunpowder are not convenient, but the cannons are different.

But even if the opponent's artillery is very powerful, air supremacy can still determine the outcome.

In fact, she has even more terrifying and cruel ammunition in her hand. Even if the current thermal weapons are limited, what she can do is enough to change the entire battle situation, but she doesn't know if she should use it at this time.

After all, the cruelty of thermal weapons is beyond imagination.

Humanoid self-propelled cannon...==Hehe, this word is very special. I don’t know if anyone really understands its meaning. It’s really not the meaning in the text. I suddenly feel that I’m very vulgar.
