After Ma Sanbao witnessed the burning of the liquor, he was relieved. As long as he could blow up the city gate, it would be easy to attack the city.
He picked up another bowl of wine and poured himself a bowl of wine. Then, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. After that, he wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.
"Phew, how refreshing. I didn't expect that the wine could be processed into such a good wine. After drinking this wine, I'm afraid it will be difficult to drink those inferior wines in the future.”
She sighed and left happily.
Yun Yi shrugged his shoulders. He knew what Ma Sanbao was regretting. As a weapon for attacking cities, he would probably not be able to drink this fine liquor in the future.
Because after Li Sanniang successfully conquered Yu County, she would definitely report this method to Li Yuan in Taiyuan. In the future, if one wanted to drink this kind of strong wine, they would have to get Li Sanniang's permission.
Early the next morning, Yun Yi and those craftsmen continued to distill in this small courtyard. Ten jars of wine were finally reduced to three jars of wine.
Then, Yun Yi filled a small jar with strong wine and asked the guards to shoot at the wine jar in the distance with arrows that were on fire. In the end, the wine jar was shot open and the strong wine also started to burn. However, it did not explode, so it still needed to be distilled.
In the end, the three jars of wine became one jar of wine, but the fragrance of the wine was a little less. This was the distilled wine that Yun Yi wanted, also known as alcohol.
He filled the small jar with alcohol and continued to make the guards experiment so that it would not explode. The power produced would be very small. Although it could be burned, the wood used for the city gate was relatively thick. When would it be burned to ashes? This was a problem.
"Whoosh!"
A Cloud Piercing Arrow directly hit the small wine jar. It had to be said that this guard's archery skills were amazing.
"Bang!"
When the sealed wine jug encountered this Piercing Cloud Arrow, it immediately burst into flames. Yun Yi asked the guard to pour a bowl of water on it.
The flames suddenly became fierce and almost burned the guard. However, the guard reacted quickly and took a big step back.
Yun Yi saw this effect and nodded his head in satisfaction. With this thing, the wooden city gate was like a decoration. There was no need for those soldiers to risk their lives to climb the city wall or crash into the city gate. They could just pile this alcohol under the city gate and use a Cloud Piercing Arrow to solve it.
"What happened just now? Did you succeed in creating that thing?”
Sanniang Li heard the sound of an explosion and rushed over. However, the experiment had already ended and Yun Yi was about to go look for her.
Yun Yi said to Sanniang Li," Come, take a look at this place. This is the place where the explosion just happened. My experiment was successful. So, if you attack Yu County, the city gate will be a decoration to us."”
Sanniang Li looked at the place that had just been burned. She could still see some traces. Then, she nodded and said,"This matter is considered a top-level secret. It must not be leaked. Otherwise, when the time comes, they will prepare water to extinguish the fire.”
Yun Yi nodded. Although alcohol could burn and cause an explosion, if the guards of Yu County had prepared a large amount of water in advance, they could still put out the fire.
"It's your business to keep it a secret. Now that those craftsmen know the method, I have nothing to do with it anymore. After a busy day, I'll go take a shower and rest.”
Yun Yi stretched and yawned. Distilling wine was indeed a little tiring, but those were all craftsmen. He was just looking after them from the side.
However, he saw that Sanniang Li's gaze on him had suddenly changed, so he was prepared to find an excuse to leave.
"Wait!"
Yun Yi paused, then turned around and asked,"Sister Li, is there anything else?”
Sanniang Li paused for a moment, as if she found it difficult to speak. However, in the end, she narrowed her eyes and asked,"Yesterday afternoon, I drank a bowl of hard liquor. Did I do anything out of line in the end?”
Yun Yi was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said,"No, you passed out after drinking a bowl of that strong liquor.”
Sanniang Li's originally murderous expression immediately calmed down. She waved at Yun Yi and said,"It's best if you don't. If you do, forget about it and go rest.”
Yun Yi turned around and quietly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was quick-witted and knew that he must not mention such a thing at this time.
The next morning, Yun Yi made breakfast as usual. However, he was informed by Little Dong, the servant girl beside Third Aunt Li, that Third Aunt Li had left the manor and had something to do.
Looking at the situation in the courtyard, Yun Yi knew what she was doing.
Li Sanniang was not attacking Yu County. Instead, she was in the camp behind Li Village Garden. She was encouraging the soldiers and discussing with Ma Sanbao and the others on how to use alcohol as a siege weapon to achieve the best effect.
"Send ten shieldbearers, followed by ten men of sacrifice. Let them carry the wine jugs and reach the city gate under the protection of the shieldbearers. Then, place this thing there. I will shoot arrows and ignite this thing. As soon as it explodes, we will blow the horn and begin the attack.”Ma Sanbao expressed his opinion.
Li Sanniang nodded. She was quite supportive of Ma Sanbao's plan. This was considered the best plan.
As for the other generals, such as Zhang Yi, looking at the five wine jars, it was really hard to imagine that such things could explode and blow up the city gate.
However, seeing that Ma Sanbao and Young Master Lee both believed in this thing and had already implemented the plan, he could only let it go.
At dusk, Sanniang Li finally finished reorganizing the camp. There were a total of 4,000 people. These soldiers were all recruited or roped in by the Revolutionary Army in this month.
"Today, we are going to start the first battle against the Sui Dynasty. We will save the people of Yu County and then open the granaries to release food!”
Sanniang Li raised the red tasseled spear in her hand and said loudly,"On behalf of the heavens, open the granary and release the grain!"
Then, the four thousand soldiers shouted in unison,""On behalf of the heavens, open the granary and release the grain!"
The voice was very loud. It could be heard in the Li family's manor. However, it could not be heard beyond the Li family's manor. The refugees outside also did not hear it.
Only then did Yun Yi know that Third Aunt Li had spent the entire day in the camp, so she must have eaten at the camp as well. Therefore, she was still the heroine, the Princess Pingyang Zhao from history. She could not leave him.
"Sigh, it seems that I need to research new dishes. To capture a woman's heart, you have to capture her stomach. I might be the most failed one.”
It was not that Yun Yi's food was not delicious enough, but that Third Aunt Li had strong willpower and great ambition.
She was not a woman who could be controlled by food and sex, because in her heart, the great cause of the Li family and her ideals were what she cared about the most.
As for material enjoyment, it was secondary. Of course, Yun Yi had actually succeeded because Third Aunt Li could no longer forget the delicacies that Yun Yi had made. She could endure it for a while, but as time passed, she missed it very much.
Before nightfall, Sanniang Li arrived at the outskirts of Yu County. She set up camp in the forest outside the city and started a fire to cook.
At this moment, the city gate of Yu County was already closed. There were also soldiers guarding the city gate, so Li Sanniang chose to eat the dry rations that she had prepared.
Making a fire to cook was just a signal to rest. Only when the soldiers on the way had a good rest would they have the energy to attack the city.
The key was that Li Sanniang had chosen to attack the city in the middle of the night, catching them off guard.
Time slowly passed, and the soldiers were almost done resting. This was their first true battle.
In the past, they had thought about attacking Yu County, but they did not have the strength. Now that they had trained for a month and had so many brothers with them, they had absolute confidence.
Li Sanniang looked at the moon above her head and then sent out a signal. The army began to slowly move forward.
When they were 50 meters away from the main gate of the county, the sky suddenly darkened. It turned out that a cloud had covered the moon.
Sanniang Li immediately signaled for the shield-bearers to protect the men of sacrifice. When they reached the city gate, they stopped. The men of sacrifice slipped out from under the shields, put down the wine jars, and returned to the shields.
Moonlight appeared once again, but the guards guarding the city were all listless. They would never have thought that someone would attack Yu County.
When a Cloud Piercing Arrow hit the wine jar, a loud bang resounded through the night. Only then did they realize that there was an enemy attack.
"Boom!"
The wine jug exploded, and the wine spilled onto the city gate and burned. Coupled with the power of the explosion, the city gate was already on the verge of collapse.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The soldiers guarding the city panicked and immediately aimed at Li Sanniang's army outside the city. They did not notice that the city gate had already started to burn.
When the black smoke rose, the city guards on the city gate tower knew that there was a problem with the city gate.
However, it was already too late. Sanniang Li saw that the city gate was almost burned down, so she immediately waved her hand, signaling the soldiers to start attacking.
Ma Sanbao brandished his spear and led over 4,000 soldiers. He sent shieldbearers in front and directly broke through the city gate.
Sanniang Li followed closely behind with more than 200 people.
The county magistrate of Yu County was still sleeping in the gentle village, but he was unexpectedly awakened by a loud noise. Then, he heard the sound of fighting.
He immediately put on his clothes and began to gather his men. However, before he could go out, he was blocked by Li Sanniang's men.
Before the Magistrate could react, a Cloud Piercing Arrow pierced through his chest, killing him.
As for the general guarding the city, he was also killed by Ma Sanbao. At this point, Yu County was directly breached. Li Sanniang occupied Yu County and fired the first shot against Sui.
