Chapter 257: Cannibalism
These low walls were easily breached, but the cleaning work behind them was difficult, because this kind of low walls made of clay had a disadvantage, as long as one place was destroyed, the whole piece would be thrown down, so the Tang army spent an afternoon leveling the road and disposing of the garbage.
In front of the second low wall, it was the same scene, Ji Meng's teeth were itching, this Dian people were really too yin, the two broken walls blocked their army for two days, and when they arrived in front of the third low wall, everyone really couldn't stand it, the whole military camp complained, Ji Meng then called Feng Jing into the big tent and asked: "Xiao Feng, do you have any good ideas?" Now that we've been here for two days, we can't even see a single enemy, so the morale of the soldiers will be over, what kind of battle are we fighting? ”
Feng Jing said cautiously: "Dashuai, this last general thinks about it, there is really a good way, some of our families in the army are masons and masons, Dashuai might as well form a separate army of them, let them go to the front to tear down the low wall, just equip them with gunpowder shells, anyway, now the Dian army does not dare to come out, and the rest of the people will stay in place to recuperate." ”
After listening to this, Ji Meng pondered carefully, this method is really good, Ji Meng patted Feng Jing's shoulder and said, "Boy, there are two hits, hurry up and prepare." ”
"No, the last will obey."
Feng Jing and the others didn't know that their unintentional actions today created a miracle, that is, the world's first professional sapper was born.
This method is very effective, professional things should be handed over to professional people to do, three thousand soldiers spent three days to tear down the remaining six low walls, of course, Liu Xiang did not watch it, and also sent a small force of troops out of the city to sneak attack, but it was not the opponent of the Tang army, and sent five thousand military merits to the Tang army in vain.
On the seventh day, Ji Meng finally saw the gate of Guizhou, the city of Guizhou was full of people, and Ji Meng roared angrily: "Siege the city." ”
The officers and men of the Tang Army are also very hot, the Tang Army is not afraid of fighting to the death, and the most annoying thing is this kind of disgusting people's conspiracy, just like accumulating enough strength, punching down, but finally hitting the air.
With Ji Meng's order, dozens of trebuchets threw gunpowder into Guizhou City one by one unscrupulously, as if venting their anger.
At this time, Liu Xiang had already gone down the city wall, and the gentleman did not stand under the dangerous wall, not to mention his own daughter, remembering that he had not seen his father for three days, Liu Xiang went straight to the palace.
The palace is located in the middle of the city, and it is also the safest place in the city of Guizhou now, as for those dwellings near the city wall, they are now invisible, and there are stumps and broken arms everywhere, most of which are the corpses of the people, so no one cares about these.
Today's palace seems to be very peaceful, his father has recently fallen ill again, as the crown prince, he should be by his father's side now to take good care of his father's body, as for those things on the city wall, it is enough to have a general.
The more Liu Xiang thought about it, the more he felt that he was very great, he was not only a good son, but also a good commander, but unfortunately the Tang Army came, if the Tang Army did not come, he would definitely be a good lord after succeeding to the throne.
Soon Liu Xiang came to the lord's bedroom, I don't know what's going on today, such a big palace, I haven't seen a person waiting for a long time, Liu Xiang's face is ugly, this group of minions, is it possible that Chengdu escaped?
At this time, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of him, this old guy was the old chamberlain who had been following him before, this was his father's minion, last time his father felt sorry for himself, and specially sent him to serve him in the army.
At the beginning, I also respected this old chamberlain, because since I can remember, this old chamberlain has been by my father's side, although my father often punches and kicks him, but it is undeniable that this is a sign of my father's trust in a person.
But before the last expedition, my father called himself to his side and admonished: "This old slave is a dog of our royal family, you can toss whatever you want." ”
Although Liu Xiang didn't understand what his father meant, he still did what his father asked, and he couldn't count the number of times he beat this old chamberlain along the way.
The old chamberlain usually has a bent waist, but today he stands there straight, like an immortal pine, Liu Xiang shook his head and drove this ridiculous thought out of his mind, and then came to the old chamberlain's side and asked coldly: "Old minion, where is my father?" ”
"The lord of the kingdom is resting inside, the prince please come in." The old chamberlain sneered.
Liu Xiang snorted coldly and walked in, as soon as he entered the hall, Liu Xiang smelled a smell of feces and urine, Liu Xiang hurriedly walked a few steps, came to his father's bed, and the scene in front of him frightened Liu Xiang.
I saw that his father was hung upside down, his body was dripping blood, the reed tubes inserted in the veins drained his blood drop by drop, and the bedding on the bed was stained with blood, and when the blood in his body was almost gone, his life would end.
Liu Xiang screamed, and wanted to leave this human purgatory, but suddenly a hand stretched out from behind him, and suddenly pressed Liu Xiang's neck, Liu Xiang didn't dare to move at all, because he found that the strength of that hand was very strong, as long as he moved around, his neck would be broken.
"What do you want to do?" Liu Xiang asked tremblingly.
"Boy, you don't know the old man's name yet, the old man's name is Liu Hong, you should call the old man uncle." The old chamberlain said compassionately.
Liu Xiang replied tremblingly: "How is it possible? As we all know, Lone's imperial grandfather only has such a son as his father, you don't want to pretend, if you let Lone go this time, then you hurt your father's sin Lone should not have seen it, how about everyone write it off? ”
The old chamberlain sighed and said: "The old Liu family is really ruthless people, when your father and your grandmother killed the old man's mother for the throne, and made the old man an inner servant, thanks to the old man's grandfather is a martial arts master, the old man learned a body of martial arts, so he was not tortured to death by your father, and now you see the tragic situation of your father, not only do not kill the old man, but also prepare to make peace with the old man, there is really a father and a son." ”
As soon as the old waiter's voice fell, Liu Qiang, who was tied up, made a "woo" sound, and the old waiter tied Liu Xiang up, walked to Liu Qiang's side and sighed: "Alas, your vitality is really strong, I didn't expect your blood to flow for three days and not finish, three days ago the old man poisoned your rice, your eyes were blind, and your tongue was cut off by the old man, so you can still survive, it's really amazing." ”
Liu Xiang heard the old waiter's sympathetic voice, and fainted with a grunt.
The old chamberlain kicked Liu Xiang with his foot, and found that this guy was really dizzy, and then looked at Liu Qiang who was hanging in mid-air, tears flowed out very uncontrollably, and the old chamberlain knelt down and said: "Mother, your vengeful son has avenged you......"
