In the face of such a terrible scene, some people were frightened, some people collapsed, and some people rushed forward with red eyes. No one will stop, the mighty army is like a herd of wildebeest migrating on the African savannah, all of them are being dragged forward and charged!

What heaven is like Pang Wanchun doesn't know, but hell is probably what it looks like in front of him!

Pang Wanchun wiped the blood from his face with difficulty, and slowly broke off his right hand holding the steel knife. The steel knives, which were as dense as jagged teeth, came out of their hands and fell on the city wall with a clang.

"We won!" Pang Wanchun muttered, then it turned into a shout, and finally it turned into a roar!

The rebels who were still alive on the city walls also cried out, some cheering, others weeping. The earth protector with a face like wax paper watched the first rays of heavy clouds break through and shine on the body of the dynasty, and his eyes were reverent as if he saw a god!

This battle lasted from late at night to early in the morning, and the 150,000 troops under the command of Han Shizhong were very heroic in attacking the city. Climb the walls several times! If it weren't for the secret weapon of 'Divine Thunder', it was very likely that they would not be able to defend it.

However, even if the king is defeated, even if he is heroic, the defeated will only be spurned. With the surviving remnants of seventy or eighty thousand defeated soldiers, Han Shizhong returned to the camp unwillingly.

The news of the defeat could not be concealed in any case. As the coach, Tong Guan has the responsibility to write a battle report to Zhao Ji in person...

In Bianliang, Tokyo, the extravagant Zhao Ji built the carved beams and paintings of the imperial palace, which are exquisite and extraordinary. After dealing with the government affairs, he was short of energy, and he lay in the arms of the beautiful palace maid at the age of cardamom to enjoy a massage, and fell asleep after a while.

Outside the door, several eunuchs stopped in front of Li Gang, and a slightly older eunuch pulled Li Gang's sleeve and whispered: "Right Prime Minister, the official family has just rested, do you see if it..."

Li Gang, who was already in a hurry, heard the eunuch's words, and immediately became angry, pushed away the eunuch who was grabbing his sleeve, and reprimanded angrily: "This official has a major military aircraft to report to the official's family, you go to report to the official's family, otherwise beware of your head!" ”

Li Gang's voice was loud, and Zhao Ji, who was not sleeping deeply in the house, was immediately woken up, frowning slightly, and said with an unhappy face: "Why is it noisy!" ”

The little eunuch who was waiting beside him ran forward quickly and said, "Back to the official's house, it's Master Li who is the right man of Shangshu." ”

As soon as he heard that it was Li Gang, Zhao Ji couldn't help but hold his forehead. This Li Gang is stinky and hard, although he has high ability, but the literati have a good temper, and he scares himself with the allusion of '纣為象箮' at every turn! I am the son of heaven, how much is it too much to enjoy a few points!

Although I don't want to see him, I can't see him. Although Li Gang has a bad temper, he will not bother himself for no reason.

"Let him in."

"Yes."

The little eunuch ran out again in small steps and led Li Gang in. The other eunuchs did not look very good, because the officials looked at them a little impatiently.

"What is the so-called reason why Li Xiang came here in a hurry?"

Seeing Zhao Ji's frivolous tone and impatient look, Li Gang felt that his lungs were about to explode. Take a few deep breaths to suppress the fire in your heart, and said: "Master Tong sent back the battle report from the front line, the army was attacked in Gaoyou, and it was newly defeated in Yangzhou!" Please send a large army to reinforce it, otherwise the army will not be able to continue. ”

Zhao Ji was furious when he heard the news, stood up suddenly, slapped the table angrily, and said angrily: "How did Tong Guan lead the troops, the 150,000 army was actually defeated by a group of mud-legged people, it is simply incompetent!" ”

Just when Zhao Ji was furious, Cai Jing also hurried over.

"Official, Cai Xiang asks to see."

"Xuan!"

As soon as Cai Jing came in, he saw Zhao Ji with an unkind face and Li Gang with the same serious expression, and as soon as his heart moved, he knew that the news of Tong Guan's defeat in the Privy Council had reached the emperor's ears, and Cai Jing couldn't help but secretly think about it.

His relationship with Tong Guan is quite complicated, that is, they use each other, but also oppose each other. As Zhao Ji's confidant eunuch, Tong Guan has a very high status in Zhao Ji's heart, don't look at Zhao Ji who is so angry that he wants to die, but he only mentions the punishment.

"Official, the news of Lord Tong's defeat in Yangzhou has just been learned, but after reading the report, I realized that there is something hidden at this time!"

Although the relationship with Tong Guan is delicate, Cai Jing knows that if Tong Guan is picked up by Li Gang and Zhao Ji, then he will be passive in the court in the future! Moreover, this matter can also sell a favor to Tong Guan, and it will be a lot easier to ask him for help in the future...

"What's the secret, tell me."

"Yes. The official family and Li Xiang may only care about the defeat of Lord Tong in Yangzhou, but they don't notice a new weapon that Lord Tong repeatedly mentioned in the report! This weapon is extremely destructive, and one can erode a hundred square feet! It's more than a hundred times stronger than weapons like the Tribulus Fireball! That's why the minister said that the defeat of Lord Tong Yangzhou was not a crime of war. ”

Zhao Ji's face improved after listening to Cai Jing's explanation, but Li Gang disagreed, and said, "How can the outcome of a war be determined by one or two weapons?" It was clearly an excuse for his unfavorable fighting. ”

Cai Jing and Li Gang had long since stopped dealing with each other, and he replied unceremoniously at the moment: "Just a few horses can make me lose nine times in ten battles!" ”

Li Gang was choked, and his face turned red with anger. Because of the lack of horses, the Great Song Army seriously lacked mobility, and was often at a disadvantage in the battles of the Great Liao and Western Xia. Even if you can defeat the opponent, you can't annihilate the opponent because you don't have the mobility!

"You're quibbling!"

"Enough! What a system you two prime ministers have made into a quarrel! ”

"Official atonement."

Cai Jing took a step forward and said, "Official, changing generals before the battle is a taboo for soldiers!" No one knows the things on the front line better than Master Tong, so he will be reprimanded and ordered to recover Yangzhou as soon as possible! At the same time, the imperial court sent more soldiers and food and grass to encourage the army to fight bravely against the enemy. ”

Zhao Ji was a little moved, looked at Li Gang with his eyes, and said, "What does Li Xiang think?" ”

Although Li Gang is very unaccustomed to Cai Jing's character, what Cai Jing said just now is to the point, he is not the kind of person who disregards the interests of the country for the sake of political struggle. The ancients said, 'A gentleman deceives him', and he is talking about Li Gang.

"The minister agrees with Cai Xiang's words."

Zhao Ji nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then let's follow what Cai Xiang said." ”

In the camp of officers and soldiers outside Yangzhou City, the generals were panicked, and they suffered two defeats in succession, and the thunderous anger of the officials was predictable.

"Tell us what you think." Tong Guan sat on the main seat and said slowly.

Han Shizhong, who was sitting in the second seat, looked haggard, although victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, but it really happened to him, and Han Shizhong was still uncomfortable.

"The last general thinks that our army is in a new defeat, morale is low, the loss of ordnance and armor is serious, and there are less than 80,000 horses left, so let's wait for reinforcements from the imperial court first."

"You didn't talk about it!"

"And what do you have in mind?"

"Enter your mother..."

……

There was a quarrel in the big tent, and it soon developed into scolding on the street...
