Don't ask where people go

Chapter 30
Ten days later, Fang Zilan led an army and stood under the gilt city. Shangguan Min frowned beside her, with obvious concern in his eyes, "General Fang, you..."

"I'm fine." Fang Zilan knew what he wanted to say, and interrupted him first, but he was still chattering in her ear, "But the military doctor said that you should not use force these days..."

"I know." She interrupted him again, "Shangguan Min, when did you get so wordy? Didn't I say that this time I will not use force, but you will. Are you ready for the iron arrow you want to prepare? "

"It's been prepared a long time ago." Shangguan Min said, patted the quiver on the horse's back, "It's all here."

"This is made of black iron. It is much heavier than ordinary feather arrows. Can you still shoot it accurately?" Fang Zilan saw Shangguan Min's confident look, and couldn't help asking one more question. After all, success or failure depends on one action.

Seeing that Fang Zilan was worried, Shangguan Min patted his chest and assured him, "Of course, I am the archer of the Shangguan family, not to mention the black iron arrow, even..."

"Stop!" Fang Zilan interrupted him abruptly. She didn't want to hear Shangguan Min talk about his glorious history of shooting arrows at the age of six and nine years old. Since she approached Shangguan Min two days ago and told him what to do, From time to time, he seized the opportunity to show off to her, which made her a little overwhelmed.

"Miss Fang, is your method really feasible?" Li Qiyou glanced around at the soldiers who were confirming that the kerosene on the catapult was all right, with a still suspicious look on his face.

Until now, Fang Zilan didn't tell them what she was going to do. She just ordered the soldiers to replace the stones on the trebuchet with barrels of kerosene, and put a row of tanks in the back row. I don't know what they were used for.And Shangguan Min was even more mysterious, following Fang Zilan's side all the time, and he didn't know what the two were plotting.

"Is it feasible? I have to try it anyway." Fang Zilan said, turning her head and glanced at Zhuge Yu next to her, "Master Zhuge guessed what I'm going to do?"

"I guessed a little bit." Zhuge Yu answered lightly, and Li Qiyou looked curious, but Zhuge Yu didn't continue.

It's a good habit not to spoil, Fang Zilan nodded in satisfaction.After all the reports from the deputy general at the rear were ready, she gave an order, and buckets of kerosene were poured on the black stone wall of the Gilded City. .

When the fire oil was almost poured, Fang Zilan ordered the archers to release arrows.

Only then did Li Qiyou realize that their archers were replaced with rockets when the soldiers were pouring oil on the fire. Ten thousand arrows were fired at once. The moment the rockets touched the wall, they burned quickly. Absolutely.

The Jin people inside the city wall were stunned and confused at first, and then they all laughed and muttered. It is a black stone city wall several feet thick in the Gilded City."

"It's precisely because the Jin people think that the Black Stone City Wall is invincible, so they will only laugh at us for not sending people to put out the fire." Fang Zilan smiled slightly, "In this way, isn't it just what we want?"

The fire burned for a long time, but the black stone walls of the Gilded City remained motionless, and the golden men on the city became more and more arrogant, dancing and shouting, but Fang Zilan was very calm here, and no one dared to move without her order.

"Has it been burning for half an hour?" Fang Zilan asked as if talking to herself, while Li Qiyou nodded, "Exactly half an hour."

"It's almost there." Fang Zilan raised her hand, "Splash water!"

The oil barrel on the trebuchet had long been replaced with a water tank. As soon as Fang Zilan finished speaking, they sprayed towards the direction of the city wall again, suppressing the fire forcefully.Again and again until the fire dies.

"Is this because we set the fire ourselves and then put it out?" Li Qiyou was full of doubts, but Zhuge Yu raised the corners of his mouth, "Your Highness is right."

"But why do you want to do this?" Li Qiyou became more and more puzzled, Zhuge Yu still just smiled, "The prince will know after watching it, the fun will begin soon."

Li Qiyou looked towards the Gilded City, and saw that after the black stone city wall was burned by the fire, there were black marks left behind, criss-crossing, but there were no cracks, let alone any signs of loosening.

The golden men in the city watched them set fire and put it out, stood on the city wall and pointed at them with weapons, all with contempt and disdain, and some even made a hissing sound.

Li Qiyou continued to watch patiently, and saw Shangguan Min standing on the horse, with one foot on the horse's head and one foot on the horse's back, with a bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right hand, and shot at the black stone in Gilded City. above the city wall.

With the sharp piercing sound, the black iron arrow pierced straight into the black stone on the upper left of the city gate, and the city wall cracked.

Shangguan Min quickly took out another arrow from the quiver, this time he aimed at the top right of the city gate, and stabbed the arrow steadily into the wall again.

He fired three arrows in a row, and the last arrow pointed directly at the golden man on the wall who yelled the loudest just now. The golden man avoided behind the battlements, and the third arrow pierced the battlements. Nothing but a look of shock.

"Even if it is a black iron arrow, but this is a black stone city wall several feet thick, how could it be..." Li Qiyou muttered to himself in confusion, but stopped suddenly when he was halfway through the sentence. offensive!Only then did he realize the intention of setting and extinguishing the fire, and he looked at Fang Zilan with a little more admiration.

And Fang Zilan was laughing and teasing Shangguan Min, "Look at you, you can't even shoot a clamoring golden man, and you have the nerve to call yourself a good archer."

Shangguan Min retorted a few words unconvinced, and the two talked and laughed happily, without the slightest sense of tension on the battlefield.

"Stones will become fragile and easy to crack under sudden cold and sudden heat. Back then, the ancestors of the Ouyang family used this method to open up mountains and control water." Zhuge Yu's voice sounded in Li Qiyou's ears, and he turned his head to face Zhuge With smiling eyes, Yu said, "Young Master Zhuge already guessed it?"

"Before today, I didn't know. But today, when I saw Miss Fang's battle, I guessed it seven or eight points." Zhuge Yu smiled lightly, "I didn't expect it to be this way."

Fang Zilan over there heard the conversation between the two and couldn't help interjecting, "What do you two think of this method?"

"It's very good." Zhuge Yu said bluntly, but Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment, "Young Master Zhuge can praise people, I'm really not used to it."

"I'm just telling the truth." Zhuge Yu said with a smile: "General Fang, let's get down to business first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

Li Qiyou on the side also clasped his fists and begged for his life: "General Fang is not suitable for using force, I would like to be the vanguard."

General Fang?This title made Fang Zilan hardly believe her ears.

She once told Zhuge Yu and Li Qiyou that there is no need to call her General Fang if she is not sincere, and only Shangguan Min would call her by this name, but now they both call her the same General Fang.

The excitement in her heart was like a raging tide, and the waves were so overwhelming that it was hard to describe.She was finally recognized by them!

Suppressing the emotions in her heart, Fang Zilan remained calm as usual, "I am bound to win this battle, and I must personally take Chakel's head. You don't have to worry, I know it well."

"Know it in your heart?" Zhuge Yu repeated these four words, and couldn't help laughing.What she meant was that she wanted to fight in person. Just now Shangguan Min said that the military doctor said that she should not use force, but she insisted on going her own way. How could she know that?

"The timing is just right." Fang Zilan waved his hand and signaled to blow the horn to fight, ignoring the reactions of several people, and then rushed towards the direction of the Gilded City, followed closely by Shangguan Min, who rode his horse to follow.

Li Qiyou looked at the figure who was leaving in the dust, couldn't help gnashing his teeth, and said helplessly, "Is she desperate?"

"Everyone will have one or two times when he wants to work hard, and the prince will do the same one day." Zhuge Yu resumed his usual light smile, and said calmly: "The only thing we can do is try not to lose her. Life will be fine."

Hearing this, Li Qiyou nodded in agreement, and patted his horse to catch up.Zhuge Yu still stayed behind to sit in command, as usual.

With the fire and water attack and the three black iron arrows, the black stone wall of Gilded City was torn apart amidst the sound of fighting, ending the legend of being indestructible.

In this world, nothing is indestructible.The city walls are like this, and so are people. How many so-called legendary figures died under her sword in the end. The seven wolves of the Northern Plains are like this, and the current Chuckel will be the same.

Thinking this way, Fang Zilan led his army into the Gilded City.The city wall of the Black Stone was broken, and the Jinren had no defenses. The army was like a broken bamboo, fighting all the way outside the Jinren's palace. The guards of the palace were quickly killed by the army, and the maids and servants in the palace all surrendered one after another.

Fang Zilan sent people to search all over the palace, digging three feet inside and out, but they couldn't find a single hair of Chakel.

"It seems that Chuckel has escaped." Shangguan Min stomped his feet angrily, "It's really cunning!"

Li Qiyou frowned, fearing that there would be endless troubles if Chakel escaped, he said decisively: "This king will send someone to interrogate everyone in the palace to see if there are any insiders."

"Chuckel has already run far away due to censorship." Fang Zilan looked cold, "My lord, you and Shangguan Min each lead a team to search carefully in the Gilded City. I will go out of the city to look for it."

"Out of the city?" Shangguan Min's expression changed suddenly, "Beyond the Gilded City is the northern desert, General Fang, you..." He was interrupted by Fang Zilan before he finished speaking, "This is a military order." She finished speaking He walked out of the palace alone, rode his horse out of the city, and went straight out of the city.

If she guessed right, Chuckel must have fled to that place, the place where they made the covenant.

However, if she guessed right, he might be there too.

What should come will come eventually, and she can't hide or escape.
