Chapter 245: The City Breaks
On this day, Gao Qiang stood on the high platform and looked at Shuzhou City, seeing that his soldiers were once again repelled by the Shu people, he couldn't help but slap the wooden wall and said angrily: "Grandma's, Lao Zhuo, is the person you looking for reliable or not?" If it doesn't work, Lao Tzu will use gunpowder directly. ”
Zhuo Shan comforted: "Don't worry, Lao Gao, didn't we all say okay, let's make a feint, and then Li Yuan will persuade the lord of Shu to surrender, it is only less than five days now, and it is estimated that the time has not yet come." ”
"Are you so sure? What if they betray us? In the past few days, Lao Tzu's brothers have sacrificed thousands of people, if they continue to feint, they will be fine, and Lao Tzu's army is almost dead. Gao Qiang muttered dissatisfiedly.
Zhuo Shan sneered: "Don't worry, Lao Gao, they don't dare to break the appointment, I have their handle in my hands, if this matter spreads, even if they defeat us, they themselves will not be able to live." ”
Looking at Zhuo Shan's sworn appearance, Gao Qiang snorted coldly: "Okay, believe you again, if there is no news tomorrow, I will send a letter to Qiu Laosan and ask him to rush over, Lao Tzu's 20,000 army will definitely be able to gnaw this meat and bone." ”
"Okay, I'll go back and urge again." Zhuo Shan said helplessly.
As soon as Zhuo Shan lay down that night, the leader of his guards walked in with a letter, Zhuo Shan snatched the letter, and after reading it, he laughed and said, "Haha, it finally succeeded." After saying that, Zhuo Shan didn't even care about wearing his coat, so he went to the Gaoqiang account.
When Zhuo Shan arrived, Gao Qiang had not yet slept, and when he saw Zhuo Shan's appearance, Gao Qiang immediately asked excitedly: "It's done?" ”
Zhuo Shan nodded and said, "Tomorrow night, the West City Gate will open." ”
The excited Gao Qiang gave Zhuo Shan a hug and laughed: "Haha, Lao Zhuo, I really have you, Lao Tzu loves you to death." ”
Zhuo Shan finally broke free from Gao Qiang's embrace, rubbed his sore arm, and scolded with a smile: "Okay, Lao Tzu will go back to sleep, so I won't delay you in dispatching troops." ”
Gao Qiang waved his hand to signal Zhuo Shan to get out quickly, Zhuo Shan pursed his lips and left with a scolding, Zhuo Shan had just left Gao Qiang's big tent not far away, and he heard the roar of Gao Qiang's soldiers, Zhuo Shan couldn't help but smile, in fact, it was not bad to be friends with these Qiu Ba.
Early the next morning, Gao Qiang gave up the feint attack in order to play the realistic, and directly went on the strong attack, and even used gunpowder, this day the soldiers of Shu resisted very fiercely, which is mainly due to the credit of gunpowder, now gunpowder can be dropped with trebuchets, although it is not very accurate, but as long as the time is controlled, there are always one or two gunpowder bullets will be thrown into the city, Shu people are the most superstitious, see gunpowder this weapon, and think that it is a dry thunder sent down by the gods, one by one dare not go to the city wall.
In the evening, General Li, the lord of Shu State, scolded loudly: "Huang Xun, you give me an explanation, didn't you swear that the Tang army came from the jungle, and it was inconvenient to carry gunpowder?" So what exploded today? ”
Huang Xun wiped the cold sweat on his head and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is a miscalculation by the minister, these gunpowder are estimated to be supported by the Tang army in the north, but please rest assured, your majesty, the gunpowder has little impact on the city wall, and it seems that the gunpowder of the Tang army is not very much, as long as we can carry this period of time, the Tang army without gunpowder will retreat." ”
General Li snorted coldly and said: "I hope so, okay, the hour is not early, I will go to rest first, and you can arrange the defense of the city tonight." After speaking, General Li brushed his sleeves and left.
Huang Xun left the palace, and he was also worried in his heart, if the gunpowder was not as little as he imagined, then he would be a sinner of Shu through the ages, but at this time, he could only gamble.
Before Huang Xun's carriage returned to the mansion, he heard a loud noise in Xicheng, Huang Xun was taken aback, this sound is gunpowder, could it be that the Tang army will not attack at night?
Just when Huang Xun was in doubt, a general covered in blood galloped on horseback, Huang Xun hurriedly stopped, this general covered in blood was the deputy general of Xicheng, Huang Xun sighed in his heart, and hurriedly held the deputy general's hand and said, "General Yue, what's the matter?" ”
After the adjutant general saw that it was Huang Xun, he howled and cried: "Huang Shuai, it's not good, the guards of Xicheng are Li Yuan's people, Li Yuan has defected, and now the Tang army has entered the city." ”
When Huang Xun heard the news, nine thunderbolts thundered to the top, he stood unsteadily, and fell to the ground, and everyone hurriedly helped Huang Xun up and said, "Huang Shuai, what should I do now?" Hurry up and get an idea. ”
It took a long time for Huang Xun to recover, and he first scolded in the direction of Xicheng: "Li Yuan, you bastard who kills a thousand knives, if you fall into the hands of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will definitely cut you with a thousand knives." ”
Then he immediately yelled: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and go to the palace with Ben Shuai to protect the king, as long as we protect the king and kill him, then we still have a chance to turn the tables." After saying that, he took the lead and galloped towards the palace.
After Huang Xun saw General Li, he didn't say anything, pulled General Li on his horse and prepared to leave, General Li asked in shock: "Huang Xun, what the hell is going on?" ”
Huang Xun replied immediately: "Your Majesty, Li Yuan has rebelled, the Tang army has already entered the city, and is rushing here, please come with your ministers, as long as your lord can get out of the city, then my Dashu will not be destroyed." ”
"Ah, but I haven't ridden a horse for a long time, and the flesh is growing ......"
Before General Li finished speaking, Huang Xun pulled General Li's horse and left, and when he passed by the East Palace, General Li shouted again: "Huang Qing, no, the prince and the concubine are still in the East Palace, I have to save them." ”
Huang Xun sighed and said very helplessly: "Your Majesty, as long as you can escape, then we can use the money to redeem His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Li Jiang is still not at ease in his heart, I heard that the current Tang King is a pervert, what if he sees his wife?
At this moment, a group of remnants of soldiers ran back and said, "Your Majesty, Huang Shuai, the palace gate has been broken, and the Tang army has already killed it." ”
When General Li heard this, his eyes rolled and he fainted, Huang Xun sent someone to send General Li to the East Palace, and then looked at the remaining more than 100 soldiers and laughed desolately: "Brothers, you have been following me Huang Xun for many years, ask yourself, how has my Huang Xun treated you all these years?" ”
"Huang Shuai is as kind to us as a mountain, and his love is deep and righteous, and he will follow Huang Shuai to the death." The crowd knelt on the ground and roared.
"Haha, okay, kill the enemy with me." Huang Xun rushed over first, and everyone followed.
After Gao Qiang entered the palace, it was not very smooth, a veteran with a cloak stood in front of the East Palace, his eyes widened, he was very lonely, and he was the only one in front of the tall palace.
However, he has been dead for a while, and his body is full of crossbow arrows!
