Chapter 693: Death with the City

Liu Zehan's words made Liu Liangzuo's face very embarrassed, he stood indifferently, and for a while, he didn't know how to answer.

Liu Zehan's words continued: "Father, there is a way, stay in the green mountains, you are not afraid of no firewood, why be so confused and insist on this time." We are now surrendering to the Tang army, although we can no longer be as before, with private territory and army, and we can't do anything in this Huaixu land as before, but at least if we can surrender to the Tang Dynasty in time, we will definitely be able to save my family's life without worry, and the wealth and family house that my father has accumulated for many years can also be kept. Take 10,000 steps back, from now on, even if I don't have any official position, I am completely white, and I can have such a family fortune, which is enough for my huge family to live leisurely, and my children and grandchildren will have no need. Now that the time is so urgent, the Tang army is about to attack the city with all its might, where to go, and I hope that my father will make a quick decision! ”

Hearing his son's bitter persuasion, Liu Liangzuo's face suddenly became more and more distorted and hideous.

"Say no more!" Liu Liangzuo waved his hand irritably and interrupted Liu Zehan's words.

He walked up and down the room like a trapped beast: "Hmph, what you say is not attractive to a father! Do you know how much effort and effort it took to work hard for your father for half your life to have this foundation and power? It's good for you, in a word, you want to dedicate half of your life's efforts to Tang Jun for your father, but how can such an act make me willing! Besides, the Tang Army's siege of the city was so powerful by you, thinking that in the eyes of my father, it may be just a bluff. And if our army can resist the Tang army's siege here, as long as it can hold on for a few days, then as soon as Huang Degong's troops and horses come, our army should be able to attack inside and outside, and then the siege will be relieved, so why worry about it. ”

Hearing that his father was still unmoved, looking stubborn, Liu Zehan's heart suddenly sighed.

What to do?

My father was too greedy for this so-called territory and power, and cared too much about his so-called hard work and dedication, and now his thinking has reached a dead end, and he can no longer get out, and he has reached an almost unreasonable state. So can I really only go to the point of breaking with him completely?

Liu Zehan still didn't give up, and argued with him for a long time, but the father and son were never able to convince each other. Eventually, there was only an embarrassing silence in the room.

At this moment, the sound of loud trumpets and rumbling drums suddenly sounded outside the city.

When the two of them heard this, their faces changed greatly.

Okay, an hour passed, and the Tang army couldn't wait, and finally began to attack the city.

Liu Liangzuo ignored Liu Zehan beside him, he looked panicked, like an agile leopard, hurriedly went out, and immediately shouted to the guards who were already waiting outside the room, and led them towards the city wall.

Liu Zehan saw his father Liu Liangzuo rushing out of the door, knowing that he would immediately go to the top of the city to command the battle, he hesitated slightly, and at the same time ran out, with more than a dozen of his own guards, all the way to follow his father.

At this critical moment, Liu Zehan did not choose to leave and escape from the city, but ran to the city with his father, and in his heart, he still did not give up the hope of persuading his father to surrender.

As soon as Liu Liangzuo and the others got on the eastern city wall with the largest number of troops in the Tang Army, they were immediately stunned by the scene in front of them.

They saw that in the midst of the deafening horns and rumbling war drums, 90 steel heavy dragon bombardment guns shining with silver and gray light were slowly pushed by the Tang gunners to a distance of more than 1,000 meters outside the east gate of Huai'an Mansion before they stopped on the spot.

Next, the Don gunners began to fix the gun mounts, adjust the angle of fire, reload gunpowder and shells, and soon made preparations for battle.

These 90 heavy dragon bombardment cannons, lined up along the city of Huai'an, are majestic and majestic, and have an invincible spirit that sweeps the world. The muzzle of the black hole is like countless thick ** pointing proudly, straight towards the high, complete and heavily guarded Huai'an Mansion city wall opposite.

The awe-inspiring momentum of these cannons, even if it was only seen from a distance, made the troops defending the city weak in fright.

Everyone could almost intuitively feel that these behemoth-like artillery pieces were already so terrifying, and one could imagine how amazing their attack and destructive power would be once fired.

The main general, Liu Liangzuo, Rao is a battle-hardened general, and when he saw that the Tang army was able to launch so many artillery pieces to attack the city, his face was also dripping with cold sweat, and his face turned pale instantly.

The artillery of the Tang Army is completely different from the artillery cast by the Ming and Qing dynasties that he is accustomed to seeing in the past, both in scale and momentum, it is almost a world of difference. So, in the case of such a powerful heavy artillery bombarding the city intensively, can you really be as good as Fang Cai, and swear that you can defend it for more than two days......

Thinking of this, Liu Liangzuo only felt that even breathing began to become difficult.

And at this moment, all the panicked defenders saw from a distance that a person who looked like a captain in the Tang army formation raised the red flag in his hand.

"Ready!"

"Put!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

。。。。。。

90 heavy dragon bombardment guns that fired 32 pounds of shells, the muzzle of each cannon immediately spewed out crimson afterburners and dazzling golden fire, dense and choking billowing white smoke rose up, covering the sky, and 90 huge black round iron bullets, with the howling sound of death, slammed into the right side of the east wall of Huai'an Mansion City.

The huge impact sound that shattered the eardrum sounded continuously, and the ninety black 32-pound iron bullets, as if they had eyes, hit the eastern wall of Huai'an Mansion City fiercely in an evenly distributed state.

On the east side of the entire city wall, sixty large holes arranged neatly and evenly appeared in an instant, and at the edge of each big hole, the thick cracked lines were as dense as spider webs, and they spread unscrupulously to the siege, and the bricks of the city wall splashed and cracked, and a piece of dust and mist filled the air, and the entire city wall was trembling violently.

On the city wall, a large number of Liu Liangzuo's guards who were shocked to the ears, eyes, nostrils and mouths bleeding together, everyone was shocked to the blood surged, and the eyes were shrouded in the dust and fog that choked their noses, and the city wall under their feet shook violently like a pendulum, and there were several small copper cannons or small iron cannons at the head of the city, which were shocked from the city wall and swooped down, with several loud noises, turning into scrap metal.

At the same time, as many as sixty or seventy unsteady defenders fell from the city wall with a scream, and then fell into bloody meatloaf.

Liu Liangzuo's troops, who were guarding the eastern city wall, suddenly became greatly confused.

Their morale was already weak and unbearable, and now that external reinforcements have been wiped out, their morale has fallen to the bottom. These guys, who fish and flesh the villagers every day, are good at bullying the people, but it is too much to ask them to maintain their composure and combat effectiveness under this strong and fierce battle.

At this time, on the western city wall, there was no need for people to organize at all, and immediately hundreds of frightened defender soldiers, as if they had seen the most terrifying thing in the world, screamed in horror, turned around and fled down the road of the city wall.

"Don't run! You shameful people, come back to Bemble! ”

Liu Liangzuo, who was splashed with dust by the artillery bombardment and had a hair and beard scattered like a native, looked extremely embarrassed, he coughed violently, stood up with difficulty on the battlements of the city wall, and immediately shouted loudly at the soldiers who fled

It was only in this chaos that although he shouted hoarsely, it had little effect, and the routs fled with complete oblivion of his presence.

Beside Liu Liangzuo, a fleeing soldier passed by him with a wail, as if he had not heard the supreme commander's warning at all.

Liu Liangzuo was angry and angry, brushed the ground and pulled out a sharp waist knife, stabbed it fiercely, and stabbed the fleeing guy from back to chest with a pop.

The fleeing soldier shook a little, and one of his noodle bags fell to the ground and died.

"If you see it, you dare to leave your post without permission and run away from your post on your own, and you will end up like this!" Liu Liangzuo, whose face was splashed with blood, drew out a blood-drenched sword and yelled at the fleeing soldiers.

Seeing Liu Liangzuo, the main general of the city guard, they were all killing people in anger, and the guards under his command did not dare to slack off, and they also rushed out one by one, slashing and killing these soldiers who had withdrawn and fled, and there was a wail on the city wall.

With great difficulty, Liu Liangzuo re-stabilized the situation and restored calm to the entire eastern city wall.

At this moment, his heart was full of anger, but he felt even more inexplicably sad.

Hateful, hateful to the current self, in addition to being passively beaten, what countermeasures can there be?

The Tang Army's steel heavy dragon hammer cannon can hit a distance of more than 1,000 meters smoothly and accurately, while more than 20 large and small artillery pieces in its own city can only hit an accurate range of more than 500 meters in the end.

Fuck, what kind of shitty fight is this!

Liu Liangzuo, a vulgar martial artist, already had it in his heart, and scolded Tang Jun on the other side with the dirtiest words ten thousand times.

But soon, while he was still secretly scolding, Tang Jun was ready for the next salvo shot.

And Liu Zehan, the son next to Liu Liangzuo, saw his father killing people so out of shape in order to control the situation as much as possible, his heart was as uncomfortable as a knife.

Alas, the artillery of the Tang army is so fierce, the offensive is so fierce, the defenders on the city wall can only sit and wait for the slaughter, and there is only the slightest chance to turn the tables and win, so force themselves to support themselves, and let their soldiers die innocently in vain, what is it for!

On the eastern city wall, when the defenders were finally regaining stability, the next round of artillery bombardment of the Tang army began.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

。。。。。。

Ninety jet-black 32-pound iron bullets, like a heavy fist swung by the god of death, spread their black wings, and roared in an extremely terrifying attitude.

There was another deafening crash, and on the entire eastern city wall, broken bricks rained down, large chunks of rammed earth inside cracked, and yellow dust and mist flew up all over the sky. The dense cobwebs and cracks on the entire eastern city wall have reached a shocking level.

In the face of such fierce violence and complete death, the struggle and resistance of human beings is almost a joke.

The rest of the defenders, who were already frightened, no longer need to be mobilized, I don't know who shouted, these guys immediately abandoned their posts, howled and hugged their heads and ran away. Their flight was so resolute, so unstoppable, that it was like a horde of mad beasts that seemed to knock anything in their way to the ground.

The explosion shook the main general Liu Liangzuo into the air, his body fell heavily on the battlement, and then rebounded back under the city wall, causing him to scream loudly in pain.

"General, the Tang army's artillery is too fierce, and our army can't hold it anymore, so please ask the general to withdraw from the city and reorganize the guard!" One of the guards, whose nose was bleeding from a splashing brick, shouted loudly at Liu Liangzuo in an almost pleading voice.

Liu Liangzuo was so shocked that his mind was clouded, he wanted to try to get up, but there was an inexplicable pain in his waist, and he lost consciousness from the waist down.

, I guess this fell too hard, breaking the lumbar vertebrae and ribs.

He was in pain, and tried hard to support his body with his hands, but he couldn't do it, but he fell to the ground again.

At this moment, a pair of hands reached out from the side.

Liu Liangzuo turned his head with difficulty and saw his son's red teary eyes.

"Father......" Liu Zehan's throat surged, and his voice choked.

At this time, Liu Liangzuo calmed down. He didn't take his son's hand and get up, but just supported it with his hands, so that his body was as close to the pheasant as possible, showing a half-lying posture.

"Zehan, it's not good to be a father." He muttered, his eyes half-lowered to look at his most beloved only son: "It's just that if you want me Liu Liangzuo to surrender, you can't do it!" You remember, after I die, all the soldiers and horses in the city will be under your command, so you can take them to surrender to the Tang army, and you don't have to let them die with me. ”

"Father!" Liu Zehan let out a loud voice of sorrow and wept again and again.

"Don't cry, go down to the city! The third round of artillery attacks of the Tang army is coming, but I am afraid that this city wall will not be protected! You are the only son of my Liu family, and you must not die on this wall in vain with your father! Liu Liangzuo's face changed suddenly, and he shouted at Liu Zehan.

Liu Zehan's eyes were blurred with tears, he looked directly at his wheezing father, and wanted to say more, Liu Liangzuo had already ordered him to let his own guards go down to the city with him.

"Father!" On the road on the city wall, Liu Zehan's mournful shout sounded all the way.

At this time, the third round of shelling of the Don army began again.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

。。。。。。

The dazzling fire flashed, the choking smoke floated up, and ninety thirty-two-pound iron bullets roared away, and the sound of the huge iron bullets crashing and the dull sound of the collapse of the city wall were continuous, and the smell made people palpitate.

After this bombardment, there were nearly 20 gaps in the city wall in the west of Peixian County, and almost half of the city wall area completely collapsed.

The location of the city wall where Liu Liangzuo was located suddenly collapsed, and he was like a fluttering leaf falling from the air, after falling from the air, he was instantly buried in the ruins of brick slag and loess.

Liu Liangzuo, a famous general of the late Ming Dynasty, died in his last stronghold like this, and his real body and name were destroyed.

At this time, when the yellow dust and fog in the sky gradually dissipated, the Tang army outside the city could clearly see from the gaps in the collapsed city wall that huge white flags had been fluttering everywhere in the streets and alleys of the city......
