Chapter 587: Yunzhou Break (Second Update)
();
Yunzhou.
At the west gate of Yunzhou City, the Xuanwu army is attacking Yunzhou City, which is held by the coalition forces of the three towns.
If it were before, even if the Xuanwu army was twice as large as the three-town coalition army, the Xuanwu army would not be able to break through Yunzhou City.
However, Xuanwu obtained the real Tiance cannon, and according to the physical version of the Tiance cannon, the previous trebuchet was improved, although the performance was quite different from the original Tiance cannon of the imperial court, but the performance was much better than the previous trebuchet.
In addition to the new trebuchet, Xuanwu also obtained the physical object of the earth-shattering thunder, and created black powder by capturing many Taoist priests.
Although the power of this black powder is not large, it cannot stand the large number.
Seeing that the army could not attack Yunzhou for a long time and contain many of his troops, Zhu Wen sent all the gunpowder he had just developed to Pang Shigu.
So there was such a scene, the gate of Yunzhou City, which was blocked by sand and gravel, collapsed, and the violent explosion sound made the entire Yunzhou City hear.
Of course, with the same power, Xuanwu used more than four or five times the amount of black powder in the imperial court. Very simply, it is not bad to develop gunpowder in such a short period of time, and the formula of black powder in the imperial court has been improved many times to have its current power.
Although the power is a little worse, Yunzhou City is still broken.
This is undoubtedly good news for the Xuanwu Army, but it is bad news for the Three Towns Alliance.
The city gate was broken, and the Xuanwu army directly entered Yunzhou City.
Seeing that Yunzhou could no longer hold on, the Three Towns coalition army chose to retreat, which meant that Yunzhou was abandoned.
In the end, Zhu Xuan withdrew from Yunzhou with more than 30,000 troops from the Three Towns Alliance and fled towards Qizhou, which means that Yunzhou, which had been held for several years, was finally broken by the Xuanwu army.
As soon as Yunzhou was broken, the Xuanwu Army occupied the entire land of the three states of the Tianping Army, and Zhu Jin, who was stuck in Yanzhou, became a lone army.
Taking Yunzhou is good news for Zhu Wen and the entire Xuanwu, which means that Pang Shigu's army of more than 100,000 can be freed up.
However, in the east, it is a very difficult choice whether to continue to attack Qizhou and occupy Ziqing Town, or to eliminate Zhu Jin first.
In the long run, capturing Ziqing Town is undoubtedly the best strategy, because after the previous battle, Ziqing Town's strength is not very strong, and the total army of the whole town is only sixty or seventy thousand, which is not the opponent of the Xuanwu Army at all.
However, in the end, Zhu Wen still chose to kill Zhu Jin first, because he was unhappy with Zhu Jin, and at this point, Jing Xiang failed to persuade Zhu Wen.
Now Zhu Wen is becoming more and more rigid and self-serving, and many Xuanwu officials feel it, but they dare not persuade him. Because Zhu Wen will kill people, even if he doesn't kill people, he will be whipped at every turn, who would dare to persuade him?
However, blessings and misfortunes depend on them, and misfortunes and blessings depend on them.
As soon as the Xuanwu army broke through Yunzhou, the forbidden army over there defeated Li Si'an's 30,000 army, Li Si'an died in battle, and the 30,000 army was annihilated.
And when he learned the news, Luo Hongxin died in a hurry.
At present, Luo Shaowei is holding the city of Lanzhou with 20,000 remnants of the army, but outside the city is several times the forbidden army.
Hearing the news, Zhu Wen directly killed the person who reported the news, and the whole person's face was ugly. He wanted to kill Li Si'an, but Li Si'an was already dead, and if he wanted to whip the corpse, he had to give him the corpse from the imperial army.
He didn't expect the imperial army's offensive in Weibo to be so fierce, and the situation in Weibo would change so much in a month.
"Send someone to Yunzhou to deliver the message, and let Pang Shigu lead the army back!"
"Does King Liang want General Pang to go to Weibo?" Jing Xiang asked in a low voice.
"Who else but him can take on this task?" Zhu Wen didn't have a good airway.
At present, the generals under Zhu Wen who can take charge on their own are Pang Shigu and Ge Congzhou, and as for Zhu Yougong, Niu Cunjie and Ding Hui, they are still lacking.
Now that Ge Congzhou has achieved a good record in Shannan Dongdao, Zhu Wen doesn't want to transfer him back, and it just so happens that Pang Shigu has broken through Yunzhou, so he was arrested.
In fact, Jing Xiang wanted to say that there were still people, but he didn't dare.
Whether it is Zhu Zhen, Huo Cun, or the dead Li Tangbin, or Zhu Youyu, who is far away in Chang'an, they can all be on their own.
But of these four people, the first two were forced to rebel by Zhu Wen, Li Tangbin died under Zhu Zhen's hands, and Zhu Youyu was also sent to Chang'an as a hostage because of Zhu Wen's distrust, and his life and death are unknown.
But these people, Jing Xiang didn't dare to mention them, this is the fourth of several people who are very taboo in Xuanwu.
"What about the Eastern Front?" Jing Xiang said worriedly.
It is a pity that Xuanwu is located in the Central Plains, which is originally a place of four wars, and it is a helpless move to start a war on multiple fronts.
As for the imperial court, it wanted to weaken the strength of the Xuanwu army through several fronts of attack, so as to facilitate the breakthrough in the north and west.
"Let Pang Shigu's army allocate 50,000 to Yougong, let him break through Yanzhou as soon as possible, and then enter Ziqing. Now that the imperial court has started a full-scale war with Xuanwu, Ziqing Town must be in the hands of my Zhu Wen! Zhu Wen said with bright eyes.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Seeing that Zhu Wen was so persistent, Jing Xiang didn't persuade much, but sent someone to deliver the message.
Although Zhu Wen made a decision quickly, after returning to the backyard of the palace, he forgot all about the front line, and instead went to find the burning that had fascinated him recently.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Why is his face a little unhappy. Seeing Zhu Wen coming back, Zhuo Zhuo hurriedly changed his expression, with a flattering face, and then said in a snort.
Not to mention the demon in the color of Zhu Wen, even a strong-willed person will feel soft when he hears this voice.
This is a bit like the natural charm in something, that charm comes from the bones, Rao is Zhu Wen is also a countless women, and in the end he was defeated under the scorching pomegranate skirt.
"It's nothing, it's just some little things on the front line, don't worry about it. The task of the beauty is to serve the king well, and making the king happy is a great achievement. Zhu Wen directly picked up Zhuo Zhuo and laughed.
"Now that the war is urgent, His Royal Highness is still good at taking the war as the priority, and many people say that the concubine is a fox spirit. But the concubine is just a woman, and she can't argue with them, and the concubine doesn't want to affect His Highness's affairs because of herself, otherwise the concubine will be a sinner! Zhuo Zhuo whispered along his face, and his pitiful appearance made Zhu Wen's desire to protect explode instantly.
"Beauty, don't cry!" Zhu Wen hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of his burning eyes with his rough big hands, and then said angrily, "Who dares to say bad things about beauties behind their backs?" The beauty can boldly tell the king that the king must have killed him alive! ”
"The concubine doesn't know, but I just heard what the maid in the house said!" Scorching and sobbing quietly, his soft body rising and falling, but it didn't add a charm.
"These cheap maids are really bold, they dare to criticize the master, the beauty is beautiful, this king will definitely give an explanation to the concubine!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Wen's eyes were full of killing intent, and Zhuo Zhuo was lying in Zhu Wen's arms, looking up at Zhu Wen, the whole person has always been the kind of expression that makes people reluctant to hurt.
