Chapter 226: Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat

Liu Tong sat in the carriage, looking at the people who were fighting fiercely, and at the same time kept shouting for the groom to stop, and then said angrily to Zhang Guoliang next to him: "Guoliang, now that our army is obviously in the upper hand, why should I escape?"

Zhang Guoliang sighed and shook his head: "Your Majesty doesn't know the battlefield, what you can't believe is your own eyes, now although our army has the upper hand, I don't know that our army has become a turtle in the urn, and there are still large soldiers in the new dynasty who have not been dispatched, this is a plan to capture the old people." If Your Majesty falls for this trick and falls into their hands, then Daliang will really be finished!"

Liu Tong thumped his feet and looked at the battle situation outside, and said with annoyance: "If these 150,000 people are defeated again, our army will only have 50,000 people left." ”

Zhang Guoliang said: "Your Majesty, don't be disappointed, although we only have 50,000 soldiers left in the imperial capital, but those 50,000 soldiers are all brave and good at fighting. Moreover, the imperial capital is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and its city walls are high ~ towering into the clouds, and the city walls are as hard ~ as hard as diamonds. There is a city constructed by such ancestors, even if we can't beat it, we can defend it inside, and the imperial capital is rich in products and has a lot of stock. Even if you stay in the city all the time, it's not impossible to stay for the last three or five years. Moreover, our army still has the Vajra Thunderbolt cannon, and as long as the soldiers of the new dynasty dare to approach, our army will immediately open fire. Your Majesty won't be unaware of the power of this Vajra Thunderbolt, right?"

After Liu Tong listened, he nodded after a long time: "In this way, then our army is not certain to die?"

"Indeed, our top priority is not to make fearless resistance here, but to return to the imperial capital to build some fortifications. As long as the emperor doesn't fall, Daliang will have a chance to get up again!" As he spoke, the carriage entered the imperial capital.

At the same time, a few of the 150,000 people risked their lives to destroy 50 siege engines in the past, and then directly killed the 120,000 people outside. Today's 150,000 troops of Daliang are only about 120,000 injured by trebuchets and crossbows and arrows, but the number is exactly the same as that of the new dynasty army.

Seeing this, Wang Ba sat on his horse, held up the red tassel gun, and said loudly: "The three armies have an order, kill!"

"Order!" Suddenly, the 120,000 soldiers behind Wang Ba rushed around Wang Ba, and suddenly, the 240,000 troops were in a scuffle. The smoke rising from the raging war filled the entire city, and the "Liang" flag, which was still hunting in the wind, was already tattered and ragged, and it seemed that it would fall in an instant. The city was covered with corpses, bleeding endlessly, and the two armies fought for a long time, and finally the new Korean army won the victory.

Suddenly, there was a boom, and there was a hole in the sky, and the downpour suddenly fell to the ground, and when it splashed again, the originally colorless droplets of water turned bright red. Zhang Wuxian frowned, obviously not liking such a strong smell of blood.

On the contrary, Wang Ba was already red-eyed, only to see him gasping for breath and holding a machete on the ground with one hand. Although he has suffered a lot of scars on his body, he is still excited~ unabated. On the contrary, the generals such as Ling Jiangmi were injured by the sword, and they were all injured. The most serious is Gao Chun, who was directly stabbed and fainted. At present, it has been handed over to the military doctor for emergency treatment.

Zhang Wushu looked at the center of the plain, his army surrounded 60,000 people in the center, but they were all Daliang people who claimed to die and would not surrender. As for the new dynasty, it also suffered heavy losses, and the original 120,000 people are now 40,000 left. Originally, if the battle continued, it was really possible for the Liang side to turn defeat into victory.

But at the critical moment, Zhang Wushu pulled out the male and female swords, and kept slashing, and the people of Daliang saw that Zhang Wuxian's offensive was too fierce, so they had to surrender. For these 60,000 people who surrendered, Zhang Wushu gave them a chance to surrender, but everyone didn't ask for it, and in the end, Zhang Wushu directly let the gang go.

After a little rest, Zhang Wushu incorporated the 5,000 people on the city wall into the main army below, with a total of nearly 50,000 people. Originally, Zhang Wushu said that he never thought that he would lose so many soldiers in the Battle of Xinyang, which directly affected the attack on the imperial capital.

But since it has come to this point, Zhang Wuxian naturally will not choose to go back to recuperate first and then go out again, because Daliang must recover faster than himself. Rather than that, simply don't rest. Afterwards, Zhang Wuxian ordered people to take a look and brought up the crossbow arrows, siege vehicles, and trebuchets in Xinyang City.

After counting, there were exactly 50,000 crossbow arrows, two siege vehicles, and fifty trebuchets brought by Zhang Wuxian, a total of thirty siege vehicles. Then, the tired army of 50,000 walked towards the imperial capital. Although everyone was tired in the first battle of Xinyang, everyone saw that they had reached the imperial capital, and in the last battle, their morale quickly rose again.

Along the way, Zhang Wuxian thought a lot, and suddenly stopped as he walked, twisted his head back, and said: "You can accompany Zhang to the present, Zhang is already grateful." The front is like a wolf's pool and a tiger's den, and it is dangerous. Zhang didn't force you to accompany Zhang to die, but if you want to leave, Zhang should send it to you. ”

Suddenly, the crows were silent, for a long time, only the audience said in unison: "If you are a king for a day, you will be a king all day long, and you will live up to your hard work, and you can swallow Wu if you lie on your salary, and you can do this battle!"

After hearing this, Zhang Wuxian's spirit suddenly sank: "Okay, God really treats Zhang Mou well! What a broken boat, what a good one to lie down and taste the guts! Since everyone has handed over their net worth to Zhang, even if Zhang Mouren fights for his own life, he will definitely capture Daliang!"

After a pause, Wang Ba then shouted loudly: "The three armies have an order, so they will get off their horses and kill the horses and eat the horses!"

"Hey!" all the soldiers shouted in unison, and then they all turned over and dismounted, and those who had horses slaughtered their horses and made a fire to barbecue them, and as for the ordinary pawns without horses, they tore their left sleeves alive. Suddenly, the smoke flew into the air, and the smell of horse meat filled the air.

The smell drifted to the city wall of the imperial capital, Liu Tong sniffed carefully, and then suddenly laughed excitedly: "Guoliang, come and smell what kind of smell this is!" After that, Zhang Guoliang, who had originally arranged the fortifications, hurried over, and also followed Liu Tong's example and sniffed it carefully, and then said: "This is, the smell of horse meat?"

Liu Tong nodded with a smile, paused and continued: "I didn't expect that now this new dynasty has been short of food to this point, and it has reached the point of killing horses and eating horses, it seems that the soldiers of this new dynasty will leave after a few days, hahaha!"

Zhang Guoliang also showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

After Zhang Wuxian and the others were full, they immediately approached the creek next to it, and when they threw all the grain directly into the creek, they saw that the grain was slowly washed away, Zhang Wushu stared at the water flow, and said impassionedly: "Everyone, now killing horses and eating horses and discarding grain means that we must complete the war within three days, otherwise this horse meat will not be able to support three days later." ”

Everyone suddenly shook their spirits and said loudly in unison: "Hey!" But after seeing that the team was full, they became more nervous, and the tired image before was completely gone. When he arrived at the gate of the imperial capital, Zhang Wuxian still chose to camp on the plain five hundred miles away, after all, although he was not clear about the situation in the imperial capital, Zhang Wuxian could see the vajra thunderbolt cannon standing in the middle of the city wall.

When everyone saw the vajra thunderbolt, they immediately panicked. Zhang Wuxian found out about this situation, and immediately said: "Don't worry, everyone, I'm here to fight this front!" Zhang Wushu knew that his own troops could no longer be harmed.

Immediately, Zhang Wuxian touched Xiaohong's head and said with a smile: "Xiaohong, if you see something coming towards you in a while, go back here the same way you came, don't worry about Zhang, Zhang's self-protection is not a problem." Little Red snorted and wagged her tail.

Zhang Wuxian nodded with satisfaction, touched Xiaohong's head, and then tightly grasped Xiaohong's reins, shouting, "Drive!" Immediately, Xiaohong slowly walked to the bottom of the city wall. Liu Tong, who was on the city wall, saw that Zhang Wushu was coming alone, and said to Zhang Guoliang with disdain: "Guoliang, this Zhang Wushu is really arrogant! Is he really an enemy of ten thousand people? Since he likes to be in the limelight alone, let him taste what our Vajra Thunderbolt Cannon is like." ”

Zhang Guoliang suddenly stood up: "Your Majesty... We.. Although our Vajra Thunderbolt cannonballs are enough, they can't be wasted, this one is just a single person, if it ......."

Before Zhang Guoliang could finish speaking, Liu Tong directly interrupted Zhang Guoliang impatiently: "Are you the emperor or am I the emperor?" This innocent arrogance is too strong, and he has to give him a good dissipation of whatever he says. ”

Zhang Guoliang had no choice but to resist Liu Tong, so he had to wave his hand at the soldier who was responsible for lighting the King Kong Thunderbolt cannon, and motioned him to fire at Zhang Wushu under the city wall. I saw the soldier slowly move the opening of the cannon barrel until he was uninjured in front of Zhang. Then, with a torch in his left hand, the soldier quickly lit the fuse at the tail of the vajra thunderbolt, and then the soldier threw down the torch and covered his ears. At the same time, the other soldiers on the city wall also covered their ears.

At the same time, Zhang Wuxian under the city wall looked up with a bang, and then watched a cannonball fall. Immediately, Zhang Wuxian sighed in his heart, I wipe! Even though there is no doubt, an oblique vertical jump immediately bounced Zhang Wuxian's body into the air.

But even so, when the cannonball fell to the ground, there was a loud noise, and then Zhang Wuxian, who was in mid-air, was directly blown up to the feet of the new dynasty army. Although Zhang Wuxian's speed is already extremely fast, but the fall of this own object is done with acceleration, and it is ejected from the barrel, there is a powerful impact, the whole process is less than a second, Zhang Wushu naturally can't escape.
