Chapter 354
Cannonballs are not arrows, and hitting people is basically inaccurate. Zhao Yu knew that the shell could not hit him, but he still wanted to use it. The purpose was very obvious and shocking.
Of course, if you let this shell fall and ignore it, the soldiers behind you are afraid that you will lose a few troops.
This blow was shocking.
Zhao Yu is not afraid of firearms, not many people have seen it. The feat of hard-wired shells outside Lianshan Pass was only seen by a team of servants from Li Fuming. After the addition, the Tatar army did not have time to organize a decent resistance, and it never showed such great power. Therefore, even if there are some rumors, the soldiers in various military towns in eastern Liaoning still believe that Zhao Yu is a War God, but there are not many people who believe that they are so powerful.
Can the flesh and blood resist the gunfire? !
But now, the shocking feat is in front of you!
Up and down the city, there are nearly 100,000 troops on both sides, countless pairs of eyes, dullly looking at the battlements and cannons that were shattered by the reflection of the shells, listening to the continuous screams, it is absolute silence .
It's like Time Freeze!
For a long time, these eyes coincided with each other, looking at the rider standing in front of the formation, either fanatical, admired, or horrified or horrified!
Under the morning sun, the tall silhouette that rides, exudes circles of blush, seems to be Celestial descending, fierce and mighty!
On the head of the city, Zhang Xianzhong followed Wu Yizi, for a moment, and suddenly, someone screamed: "Adoptive Father!" .
Zhang Xianzhong failed to beat Zhao Yu and was beaten by shells instead. Thanks to his good luck, after a shot, he was shocked and hit directly without a counterattack.
But the gun barrels, gun mounts, and battlements were smashed into pieces, but Zhang Xianzhong was beaten with blood!
At this time, he has passed out in a coma.
When the time comes, the city will be in chaos!
Under the city, at this time, soldiers came to report, but the road was arranged in various ways and was already in place.
Zhao Yu is overjoyed. Seeing the situation in the city, he knows that the fighter is right in front of him. At the moment, loudly shouted, he rode his horse and rushed straight to the city gate!
On the city wall, no one saw it, but Zhang Xianzhong was seriously injured and unconscious. Only a few arrows flew sparsely, before landing, Zhao Yu arrived at the city gate.
pu!
The strikes of the huge iron cone fiercely are on the city gate, but they are inserted into the sand like iron rods!
This is the performance of the strength condensed to the extreme!
Previously when Zhao Yu broke Shouzhou and Huoqiu, he never carried dexterity, but broke the city with brute force, which was quite dynamic. Of course, such a movement has more advantages than disadvantages on the battlefield. On the battlefield, the greater the movement, the more it can deter the enemy.
However, these huge movements have had a lot of impact on Zhao Yu. When the city gate was broken, the force shook back and set off a violent air wave. Within a few feet, the cavalry on horseback could not bear it.
It’s okay if the power can disperse and vent in an open battlefield. On the contrary, it enhanced the lethality. But when opening the city gates, the city gate was thick and heavy, and the force responded, and Zhao Yu had to bear most of the aftermath by himself. Zhao Yu itself doesn't matter, but the warhorse under the crotch does not.
Before intercepting the shells and counterattack, shock is enough. There is no need to break the city gate and move it to the west.
So I used ingenuity, concentrated the power on one point, and went down. The huge octagonal pyramid head plunged into the city gate, and then flicked and twisted, and the tall city gate was immediately shattered and crashed. -Bang turned into fragments and fell to the ground.
"Kill!"
Behind Zhao Yu, all the troops saw that the city gate was broken, and immediately separated from the front. The soldiers roared wildly. When the killing sounded loudly, the cavalry took the lead and the infantry was behind. The archer shot a rain of arrows to cover the city wall as a cover!
"The city is broken!"
The thieves' army was suddenly in an uproar, like the headless fly, not knowing what to do in panic.
At the moment when the city gate was broken, Zhang Xianzhong, a tributary thief, was doomed. Zhao Yu is an edge, even if Li Dingguo and the others quickly organized an army to stop him, there was nothing he could do.
In this world, no one can stop Zhao Yu's advance.
This is a good kill. Since Zhao Yu broke open the city gates and went in, the dust didn't settle until noon.
Because Zhang Xianzhong was in a coma, Zhao Yu saw the opportunity to break open the city gates, causing the army of thieves to collapse immediately. Xian thief defeated himself by Zuo Liangyu, and went to Henan to go to Li Chuang, under his command only a few thousand old thief. As of now, tens of thousands of horses have been packed up, but they are all new thieves. The battle strength of the new thieves who have just been transformed from poor farmers can be imagined.
If it is a tailwind, you can probably swarm contribution point battle strength.
But Zhao Yu first counterattacked the shells with flesh and blood, which caused Zhang Xianzhong to coma and went to the head of the thief. He broke the city gate again, and blatantly entered the city.
How can the new thief at the bottom not be afraid of such horrible things?
How about not crashing? !
Li Dingguo and the others see that the situation is over, they must protect Zhang Xianzhong to escape. Where can I escape? Only fled to the city, he was overtaken by Zhao Yu, and he bluntly went down to see the king of Hades.
The thief fled in all directions, but Zhao Yu made arrangements early to keep the water in the city from leaking out. The city gate on all sides was surrounded by a large army. In addition, the high-level thieves suffered heavy casualties. The snakes had no heads and scattered sand. Even if they escaped from the four gates, they were unable to break through.
In the end, piles of corpses were left outside the four gates, and the rest fell.
To explain the matter of guarding the captives one after another, Zhao Yu approached Yang He and said: "Quickly report the beginning and end of the battle with Crown Prince, please tell Crown Prince, the pockets should be closed! "
Yang He didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly found someone to send a message.
This Bozhou, originally also had the Zhao Gongming Trading Company base. But when Zhang Xianzhong's army came, they saw the opportunity early and evacuated the city.
When Zhao Yu led the attack, the people from Trading Company were waiting halfway.
They are just used at this time.
And do not mention the matter of subpoena. Zhao Yu captured Bozhou and swept Zhang Xianzhong out of the mainstream thieves, and garrisoned troops for three days. During these three days, rewards based on merits, promotion based on military merits, and last time seized, are not mentioned.
Three days later, Zhao Yu mobilized his army and headed north to Kaifeng Mansion!
...
Crown Prince Zhu Cihao received Zhao Yu's battle report. After hearing the report, both the thieves and the thieves were exterminated. The thieves were wiped out from the top to the next. Now I am overjoyed.
So while sorting out the battle report, going to the emperor, while sending orders to encircle Kaifeng.
It has been nearly a month for the thief to encircle Kaifeng, but a defender in the city of Kaifeng tried his best to resist. After January, the thief did not get too much money.
However, Zhu Cihao has seen from the weakening of the offensive of the thief army and other clues that the thief has a plan to retreat.
Zhao Yu's battle report came at the right time.
If you postpone it for another three, five, seven or eight days, if the thief reacts and retreats directly, the previous tactical arrangement may be frustrated.
"The food and salaries that the Imperial Court should be transported have not been seen for half a month."
Crown Prince sat on the top with a subtle look on his face, his fingers tapping the table lightly .
In the hall, only Wang Yisheng and Li Geng were present.
"What the moths do." Wang Yisheng said with a smile: "Why does Crown Prince care? Only after the war, Crown Prince returned to the capital to kill some moths in one fell swoop That's it."
Crown Prince nodded, and shook the head: "Several people in the cabinet are old fox, which is not so easy to deal with. Moreover, this battle has not yet been concluded. In case there is a change, it is also A lot of trouble."
Speaking, Crown Prince looked towards Wang Yisheng: "Especially from Huguang Ding Qirui, the weak spot is the biggest."
Wang Yisheng got up to cup one fist in the other hand, said with a big smile: "I will leave for a while."
Crown Prince rejoices: "Xiao Wang also means that. I don't expect Ding Qirui's department to play a big role, I just hope that the pocket Don’t have any problems in the battle."
Wang Yisheng bowed: "Crown Prince don’t worry, he will not disappoint his highness!"
Crown Prince nodded: "Little Wang looks forward to the Royal General Army’s Good news."
So Wang Yisheng withdrew from the hall and took 5,000 elites from himself. He happened to take a detour towards the direction of Huguang along with the order.
Seeing Wang Yisheng leaving, there was a look of worry on Crown Prince's face.
Li Geng couldn’t help saying: “With the Royal General army, Ding Qirui, Huguang, will be in trouble. Don’t worry about Crown Prince.”
Crown Prince shook the head: “Little Wang is not worried about Ding Qirui. Ding Qirui is just a mediocre man. It is easy for the Royal General army to restrain him. What I am worried about is the change in the Imperial court."
Li Geng hearing this, can't help frowning: "Could it be that Is there any important news from Jade Pure One?"
Crown Prince nodded: "There is news from Jade Pure One military advisor, saying that a recent impeachment of Xiao Wang from the Imperial Court , Saying that Xiao Wang has a conspiracy for rebellion."
"Hi!"
Li Geng couldn't help taking a breath: "What a vicious!"
then Said: "His Royal Highness leads the army, the Governor army of hundreds of thousands, if the emperor listens to the slander, I am afraid..."
Crown Prince shook his head: "I am not worried that the Imperial Father will listen to the slander. "
paused, Crown Prince's eyes burned: "Because when I asked the Imperial Father to kill the Governor, I talked to the Imperial Father frankly and openly for one night. I know what the Imperial Father wants, and the Imperial Father knows it too. My mind. What I am worried about is that the Imperial Father is blocked by the moths because the government is controlled by those moths!"
sighed: "I am even more afraid of the imperial decree of the Imperial court moths!"
Crown Prince stood up, pacing with his hands in his hands, his eyes a little blurred: "Yue Wumu's twelve gold medals are vivid in my eyes."
Li Geng was silent for a while, frowning. Become a small mountain.
...
As Zhu Cihao guessed, when the good news arrives in Beijing, and the emperor is happy, under the calm lake, it is the undercurrent turbulent.
But what Zhu Cihao absolutely didn't expect was that the worms in the Imperial court were very ruthless than he thought!
In mid-October, the emperor had a sudden illness, he couldn't speak, and man couldn't move!
Imperial Palace is in chaos.
So the cabinet completely took over the government on the grounds that the emperor could not govern.
In another three days, the emperor became more ill and died.
So the Cabinet Department discussed the crown prince's enthronement at the Korean Council on the grounds that the emperor was about to die and the country could not be left alone.
Only one day, the cabinet issued an imperial decree, 800 li to expedite, and headed to Henan, ordering Crown Prince to Return to the dynasty.
But it was only one day, and the eight hundred li express had not been delivered yet, and the cabinet took the name of Ether’s filial piety, decreed to seize the Crown Prince, demoted to the people, and negotiated the establishment of the Second Prince Zhu Cihong as the crown prince. Choose a day to sacrifice to the throne!
Subsequently, several imperial edicts were issued, ordering Sun Chuanting, Ding Qirui, Zhao Yu, and the generals of all ministries originally to Zhu Cihao to stop their troops and wait for the Imperial Court to dispatch them.
...
Crown Prince was holding a book and trembling all over his body, his eyes turned red, and he suddenly yelled: "Imperial Father!"
It turned out to have fainted!
Li Geng turned pale in fright, hugged Crown Prince hurriedly, and called the doctor urgently for treatment, then picked up the book and silk on the floor, and after a closer look, his complexion became extremely heavy.
"What a vicious thief!"
"regardless of the law and of natural morality!"
This clear middle-aged man almost broke his mouth. Teeth, then fiercely punched on the table, the punch was dripping with blood!
At this time, the Crown Prince has not yet received the imperial court decree. This letter came from Li Jade Pure One urgently.
Among them, one after another, one after another, he said to the Crown Prince to pray for the crime that happened in Beijing.
After reading the letter, Li Geng vented a bit, and soon calmed down.
The thieves of the cabinet actually risked the world's bad faith, murdered the emperor, seized the government, and established the Country Lord privately. These actions were extremely vicious and evil.
But Li Geng knew that this is not the time to be angry.
The pocket array will be completed, and the thieves will be destroyed soon. If you miss the opportunity, all the previous ones are all in vain!
Absolutely messy!
He took a deep breath, his thoughts turned, and suddenly shouted: "Come on!"
The Crown Prince hurried in.
Crown Prince fainted, and he was quite surprised when he went with him. But seeing Li Geng's face calm, he couldn't help calming down a lot.
Li Gengdao: "Immediately send people to look for General Zhao Yu, General Wang Yisheng, and Sun Chuanting, and tell Must to suppress all troops and horses and act according to the original plan."
paused, Li Geng shouted out again: "Come on, take care of me!"
Someone offered me pens and inks, Li Geng shua shua shua wrote three letters in a very simple manner and used fire paint Seal it and hand it over to this person: "This matter should be done urgently, and the letter must be delivered to them!"
"Yes!"
"Remember!" Li Geng Stopped him, and told him: "Hurry up and be secret!" After the person sending the letter left, Li Geng immediately sent an order to secretly recruit the officers trained by the Crown Prince over the years, without being verbose, and said: "The Imperial court has changed, and the Crown Prince is fainted. But as a subordinate of the Crown Prince, if one prospers, all prospers, I have to act according to the original plan of the Crown Prince."
These officers recruited, All of them are Crown Prince who have specially collected and cultivated over the years, and each has its own capabilities. At least compared to today's local generals, no matter which aspect, they are much stronger.
Originally, the Crown Prince planned to slowly replace them so that they could take control of the military. The reason is that Li Geng, the closest person to the Crown Prince, is clear.
But it's too late at this time.
Li Geng detailed the Imperial court's changes, then said: "The cabinet's false order will arrive within two days at most. In order to prevent the defeat of this thief, we must seize the military power in advance."
p>"Everyone, go back now and prepare secretly. I will hold a banquet in the name of Ether and call the local soldiers. You must seize the opportunity to seize the power of the local troops on the north bank of the Yellow River."
An angry look flashed in Li Geng’s eyes: "Those who block, kill them!"
Li Geng knew that this would be very risky, but things are already urgent, so he has to take risks. when. If you wait for the precepts of the cabinet to be conveyed, the local troops that have gathered will immediately disperse.
Crown Prince is not the emperor after all, and the cabinet has the righteousness in the world!
Furthermore, the soldiers of the local army are all veterans, each with its own ideas. Once received the corrective edict, it must be gone in a rush.
This is absolutely intolerable.
