Chapter 284: The Battle of Taiyuan

In Taiyuan, the Hedong Festival made Liu Qing stand on the city tower worriedly, looking at the red flags and black torrents that were approaching in the distance, and the ones who should come will always come.

A few days ago, he successively received a lot of fleeing Hu sergeants, according to his mouth, the black armor army is good at witchcraft, wherever the attack goes, there are thunder and fire landing, invincible, I am afraid that there is heavenly help.

After thinking about it again and again, Liu Qing decided to depend on the situation, if he was really invincible, he would surrender, and his life would be important to survive in troubled times.

The autumn wind swept the ground and the grass flew three feet, Cen Shen rode a war horse, held a pitch-black spear, ten miles away from Taiyuan City, looking at the city tower, long hair and sleeve robe danced with the wind, majestic hair.

On his side, Zuo Zhishu was also dressed in pitch-black armor, with a rotating cloak behind his back, and a row of iron pipe mines hanging from his waist, carrying a vermilion lacquered bow and crossbow.

There are three other generals with different postures standing on their sides, one is sturdy, holding a whirlwind double axe, this is Yan Wen, and the other two are all scholars, but with a trace of sick temperament is Yan Kuan, and the one next to him is Yan Hongzhi.

"General Zuo, it's up to your artillery next, attacking the city, gunpowder is an artifact!" Cen Shen looked sideways at the book on the left, took off the shaking wine gourd from his waist, and said with a plug in his mouth.

"That is, before Captain Cen went into battle, he still liked to drink as always!" The book of the left drove the war horse, and looked side by side with Cen Shen, and in front of it was the majestic Taiyuan of the city wall.

Cen Shen slammed the gourd stopper, the aroma of wine diffused in front of this desolate and cold battle array, and after a few sips of strong wine, a fiery feeling erupted from his mouth, invaded his throat, and went straight to his stomach, Cen Shen licked the remaining liquor on his lips with satisfaction.

So, I was full of ambition in my heart and said with emotion.

"Shi Taizu was born in Taiyuan and achieved the glory of my Tang Dynasty, and Cen Mou led the army of thousands of people to recover the lifeblood of my Tang Dynasty, which can be described as the reincarnation of the destiny of heaven!"

Zuo Zhishu looked at General Cen with a yearning look in his eyes, whether it was teaching him to learn martial arts tricks or taking care of him when he was leading the army to fight, this young General Cen has always been his role model.

"Yes, our princess will definitely be able to revive the Tang Dynasty!" Zuo Zhishu said happily, with pride, reined in his war horse, and walked towards the artillery camp position, "General Cen, the artillery show will start immediately." ”

"Good! See! ”

In front of Taiyuan City, rows and rows of black military formations slowly pushed to the front of the formation, the five of them were fired, the division of labor was clear, the artillery crew was served by the older or experienced gunpowder sergeant, and the remaining four people, two were responsible for taking the artillery, and two were responsible for pushing the gun carriage.

The cylindrical pitch-black iron barrel outcrops pointed towards the city, and the deck covered with black concave dots was combined in front of the gun carriage.

The two sergeants began to fill the barrel with gunpowder and shells, straightened one of the fuses, and the gunners half-crouched, clenched their fists and gave a thumbs up, calibrated the direction, adjusted the angle of the muzzle and the dose of gunpowder used.

Everything was ready, except for the gunner, who covered his ears with his hands, and the gunners lit the fuse with flint.

Liu Qing stood at the head of the city, setting up a pergola and looking at the array under the city, the group of black-armored soldiers didn't know what they were busy with, and his heart was full of questions.

With a bang, the earth shook, and the humming sound pierced Liu Qing's heart, and then, where the firelight fell, the city wall collapsed, the debris fell, and the sergeant died like a lightning strike, all of which shocked his eyes.

"Quick! Get the white flag out! Descend y'oeuvre! ”

Liu Qing half-bowed and retreated, not daring to look at the sky, for fear that he would also be struck by lightning, and at the same time shouted angrily at the deputy general beside him.

The lieutenant ran into the tower, held up a white flag, and stammered, "Will... General, what do you do? ”

"Me? I'm going to lose with a backbone! After Liu Qing finished speaking, he threw off his sleeves and went down to the city tower, came to the city, put on his battle armor, held a big axe, and came to the city gate.

The white flag at the head of Taiyuan City waved, the artillery also stopped, and Zuo Zhishu rode a war horse to Cen Shen's face, "What should I do?" ”

"Since it has fallen, it should take the initiative to come out, let's take a look first!" Cen Shen suggested.

"As it should be!"

Yan Kuan coughed lightly and said weakly.

"Then let's wait! If they don't come out, continue to blow them up with this gunpowder! Haha, it's better to blow it up! The voice was like thunder, Yan Wen smiled heartily.

After half a pillar of incense, the gate of Taiyuan was opened, and the sergeants wearing ordinary gray armor and leather shoes went out of the city, took off all their weapons and armor, and placed them on the ground.

And Liu Qing slowly walked out of the array single-handedly, holding a big long axe in his hand, with a faint bitter smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zuo Zhishu looked at the general in the enemy camp, and complained in his heart in the usual words of the princess, which stupid fork is this.

Yan Wen saw that the comer's bearing was a little extraordinary, in the face of such a fierce black armor army, he dared to come over alone, and he had a new understanding of the guards of Taiyuan in his heart, and he was quite backbone when he surrendered.

Cen Shen drank himself indifferently, looked at the general lightly, and suddenly understood the other party's intentions, so he picked up the spear in his hand, raised his head and drank freely, and slowly walked out of the array.

Cen Shen came to Liu Qing, first busy drinking, and his eyes glanced at the general.

Liu Qing looked at Cen Shen, his nose moved, but his heart was quite strange, for the general, he actually drank in front of the sergeant, this guy is really arrogant, "You are the commander of the Black Armor Army?" ”

Cen Shen raised his chin slightly, indicating that he meant yes, he always had a wine gourd in his mouth, his long hair fluttering, and his appearance of being addicted to alcohol was quite funny.

Liu Qing was silent for a while, and suddenly shouted, and his usual majesty as a general shook out.

"Will the thief dare to go it alone?!"

"Poof, cough, cough, cough! Ahem..."

Smelling and drinking, Cen Shen didn't take a sip of wine, and stabbed it directly into his throat, his mouth and nose were hot, coughing and coughing, and a wine mist was messy in the wind.

There was a burst of ordinary laughter from the black armor army formation, it seemed that it was not a bad thing for the main general to make a fool of himself, and Liu Qing was quite puzzled.

After calming down, Cen Shen looked at Liu Qing with eyes like a fool, as if to say I'm not mistaken, this guy is even more silly than Ji Xiao.

"What do you see, although I, Liu Qing, have descended, I am also greedy for life and afraid of death, but as a general of a city, I also have dignity, come on, Liu is waiting..."

Cen Shen threw the wine gourd over, holding the spear in his hand, also resisting on his shoulder, half-curled eyelids and tilted his head sideways to look at Liu Qing who caught the wine gourd, "Wouldn't it be okay to surrender early, the city wall will be repaired later, it's really troublesome!" ”

Liu Qing's face twitched, what kind of monsters are these black armor soldiers, smelling the wine gourd, and finding that the wine is really fragrant, so he took a sip, and then took a big sip, which was called a comfort, threw it back, and clenched the big long axe.

"Come on!"

Cen Shen put away the wine gourd, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and galloped out quickly, with a shot and a shadow, but in one round, Liu Qingxuan fell off the horse and fell firmly.

The big long axe clattered to the ground, and the aftermath continued unabated.
