In May, the sun is blazing overhead, and on the bank of the Ryu River outside Tokyo, the willows are still clinging, as if hanging down ten thousand green silks.

The change of time did not disturb these weeping willows, which are a city that loves willows.

Tokyo's Miyagi, inner and outer castles all have moats, called "dragon river", more than ten zhang wide, and willows are planted inside and outside the city. The city of Tokyo is also run through the city by four rivers: the Bianhe River, the Jinshui River, the Gojo River and the Cai River, and the banks of the rivers are also planted with willows. It is conceivable that the royal city, temples, private gardens, and the landscaping of streets and canals dot the neat and neat houses of Tokyo Castle, and if you overlook Bianjing, the three-story castle is surrounded by majestic and glorious imperial cities, and is located in the center of the city, symbolizing the supreme authority of the feudal dynasty. The surrounding streets and alleys are in order, the business is prosperous, the rivers and canals are lingering, the lakes are starry, and more than 100 gardens are scattered in all sides of the city like bright pearls.

If it weren't for the rise of the Liangshan Army, in such a season, the willows on the riverbank would be low, and it would be a place of deep love among the literati and talented women (Oiran heads) in Tokyo. But the Liangshan army, which rose in the land of Qilu, shouted that everything turned into yesterday's smoke and clouds.

"There is a wrong, and there is a debtor! You sergeants and civilians, don't die for the Zhao family! Those men who came to the city have not seen the ability of my Liangshan army, so I will open your eyes today. Don't risk your life. ”

As soon as the thunderbolt shouted in front of the battle, he made an opening statement with the soldiers and civilians of Tokyo City. The whole process was covered by a group of heavily armored shield men, for fear of being sniped by the crossbow at the head of the city.

"Gutsless rats. Is he so reluctant to be called a hero? Liu Ziyu scolded angrily. Beside him, his son Liu Tao looked solemnly at the Liangshan cannon that had been erected outside the city.

"Father, don't believe those unfounded rumors. There is such a powerful stone cannon in the world. The city of Tokyo is high and deep, not comparable to a small city, Hugh said that it is only twenty columns, even two hundred columns are blind. "The young and vigorous Liu Ziyu has never seen a real stone cannon bombardment.

And here Ling Zhen finished speaking, and returned to the artillery array. The twenty Liangshan cannons that were waiting immediately began to bombard.

All the guns were fired in unison. The big stones cover the sky and the sun, carrying huge kinetic energy and potential energy, whirring and winding, and the sound is impressive.

Every stone smashed into the city wall, you can clearly feel the city shaking, the cannons in the building turrets, immediately collapsed, the mud flew everywhere, sawdust splashed, people were unfortunately hit, directly became meat sauce!

And when the blazing arson bombs streaked across the sky, it was like dazzling meteors sliding from the sky. Fire burst out inside and outside the city, and the question of "this is impossible" echoed in Liu Ziyu's heart.

Plumes of smoke rose from the vicinity of Chaoyangmon Gate in the east of Tokyo, accompanied by a deafening roar of meteors falling to the ground, accompanied by a deafening roar that was often unfamiliar.

The filler that flew on all sides—iron sand, broken iron, shards, etc., tore through everything in front of them with kinetic energy that flesh and blood could not stop at all. It would have been a tragedy if the fire-filled wood-shelled arson bomb had landed in the crowd.

The wooden shell was soaked in tung oil, and under the impact of great force, the flying wood chips were no less lethal than the blade arrows. As for the large amount of iron sand, broken iron, and fragments hidden inside, the lethality is needless to say.

In addition to these, there were also four or five bags of arson, and seven or eight bags of arson. They won't be shattered by the force, they'll just jump far away. Because they have a layer of rattan shells on their outer covers, to ensure that the arson bomb does not shatter the explosives inside the moment it touches the ground.

The gunpowder formula has been modulated, and the explosive power has not improved much, but the efficiency of burning and igniting has increased a lot. The inside is wrapped in coarse cloth and silk, packed into a bamboo tube, and the fire rope is left outside, and the rattan has also been concocted with tung oil to ensure that as long as it is dyed with a spark, it can burn and start a fire.

It turns out that under such an arrangement, these medicine packets wrapped in coarse cloth and silk wrapped in bamboo tubes can also explode. Although there is no guarantee of 100%, there is still a seven-seven-eighty-eight is not bad.

Although the lethality of the gunpowder pack after the explosion is almost none, it is completely a big firecracker. But the explosion can undoubtedly make people's hearts more afraid, and make the defenders inside and outside Chaoyang Gate even more panicked.

Liu Tao looked at the soldiers Ding Minyong who were panicking left and right, holding their heads and fleeing, angry and angry. Wouldn't it be despised by thieves outside the city to run around like this? Knowing this, knowing that this was the case, he called the Zhejia army to the city. "Someone, come quickly. I asked him to bring a battalion of the state army to sit here. ”

The latter, as the remnant of last year's World War I, is now the backbone of Liu Tao's defense of Tokyo. At the beginning, the remnants of the Zhijia family who fled from Jeju City to Xuzhou, turned to Huainan West Road, passed through Haozhou and Chenzhou, and returned to Tokyo at the beginning, the total number of soldiers was only 3,000. These days, it is the Great Wall for Liu Yiyi.

Training Ding Yong, arranging defenses, patrolling security guards, and all kinds of aspects have their figures.

It's just that Tokyo City University, so the family army folded this little manpower, and when it fell into the city of Tokyo, it was like sprinkling pepper noodles.

Lu Qian was not in a hurry to seize Tokyo, he hoped that Zhao Ji could not help but send troops and horses to help. In that way, he would be able to surround the city of Tokyo and eat what little immediate combat power the Song army had left.

If so, on the first day there were still 20 Liangshan guns, but on the second day it rose to 50. It's just that the number of incendiary bombs thrown by the wooden shell has been greatly reduced, and it has become more of a simple wooden arson bomb.

Outside the city of Tokyo, there are hundred-year-old willow trees, which are cut into sections, and that is ready-made wooden bullets. At the same time, some gardens outside the city, stone carvings in the manor, strange stones, and even the Bolted Horse Village were also pulled back by Lu Qian.

Although the whole 'bombardment' has dropped by N notches in an instant, it doesn't matter, Lu Qian is using Chaoyangmen as a chicken, and he is killing chickens to make an example of monkeys. He was patiently waiting for the chemistry to rise in the city.

Liu Tao is not the only one left behind in the city of Tokyo, there are hundreds of large and small officials in the entire left-behind department, and those who only say the name of the hang-behind are the deputy left-behind, the governor of the left-behind affairs, the young Yin, the same knowledge of the left-behind affairs, the same signing of the left-behind affairs, the left-behind judges, the left-behind magistrates, and so on.

Since Liu Tao took office, he has been doing his best to preside over the overall situation, recruit Ding Zhuang, and strengthen his armament. He even took the initiative to bring all his family members into Tokyo City, in order to calm the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in the city, and won the praise of the Shilin court. also made his subordinate adjutant have to follow up, which really calmed people's hearts for a while. But it also caused countless complaints from his subordinates.

The human heart is complex, and it is not possible to ask everyone to be the same. Are the other officials of the Tokyo Left-behind Division doing their best to serve the country as faithfully?

At this moment, the home of Liu Yu, the left-behind pusher, is a place where chickens fly and dogs jump. As early as when Liang Shanjun was infested outside Tokyo, he deliberately fled with his family. In order to be safe, he also invited Liu Tao to a banquet on the grounds of discussing business, but he was severely reprimanded by Liu Tao for only revealing a trace of meaning.

"Liu Yanyou, Hugh said this. As an official of the imperial court, how can you be so greedy for life and afraid of death. Not only was he ashamed of the court, but he also read poetry and books in vain. The thieves and soldiers invaded the territory, the court was honored and disgraced, and the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians were not in your mind, as long as you sent your family and the gold, silver and money you looted to the west, it was really good not to be a bastard. ”

"The country has been raising soldiers for a hundred and fifty years, and now it is in danger, and our ministers cannot be loyal to protect the country to save the trouble. Are you a servant? Reading the books of the sages on weekdays, what does it mean! But at this time, what is the face of life, and how can I see the first emperor when I die!? ”

"Today's official will write it down for you, look at the past situation, and send you this dog's head. If you dare to make a second speech, or deceive others, confuse our army, and defeat my morale, I will behead you first, a thief. Several days have passed, but Liu Yu's reprimand that day is still vivid in his ears. On weekdays, whenever I see Liu Tao, my heart jumps.

That Liu Tao had ordered martial law in the whole city, closed the gates of the Quartet, and told people to flee for their lives, so Liu Yu had to spin back and forth in the backyard. Even if he was frightened by the battle inside and outside Chaoyang Gate for two days, he was helpless. Even today, I heard that the thieves have more stone cannons. The Liu family became more and more anxious up and down, and the houses were packed up and piled up in bundles, but they couldn't be moved.

The shouts of killing and the sound of stone cannons outside the city, just listening to them in his ears, made Liu Yu tremble. Since he was admitted to the Jinshi, he has been a peace officer in his life, where has he experienced this, and he only trembles when he sits on the big chair. A few young beautiful concubines, across the room, just whimpered and cried.

Liu Yu was upset when he heard this, and it was easy for the noise outside the city to stop, so that he had some strength, so he said: "You are so chaotic, I have no place to arrange." ”

Those concubines naturally didn't dare to cry like this, but it angered his wife Qian. This is the real master of the Liu family.

Liu Yu has been a scholar since the Yuan Fu period, and he has been seventeen or eighteen years old. If he is really talented, he will naturally do it as a promoter of the Tokyo Left-behind Division, but Liu Yu is obviously incompetent. He was still on a visit on Liangzhejiang Road earlier, but he was running into an uprising in Shangla, and fled back to Tokyo in fright. Now that he is not pursued but has become a Tokyo magistrate, it all depends on the power of his Hun family.

His wife's surname is Qian, and she is from Wu Yue Qian's family. It was the first gate on Liangzhejiang Road. Since Qian Hongyu returned to the Song Dynasty, the wealth of the Qian family can be relied on. For example, the wife of Liu Mei, the brother of Empress Liu E of the Ming Su Dynasty, is surnamed Qian, the husband of the daughter of the eldest princess of Song Taizong is surnamed Qian, and the husband of Princess Qingshou, the daughter of Song Renzong, is also surnamed Qian. And this princess is still a rare long-lived princess, and she is still the longest in the Song clan. The wealth of the Qian family has been passed down to this day, and the blessings have been endless for more than 100 years.

Qian had a posture of scratching God's face, dragging Liu Yu unrelentingly, crying and scolding loudly. "I've taught you to excuse myself a long time ago, just say that I'm sick, can Liu Tao really arrest me and come to Tokyo? But thou hast cared for this and cared for that, that the woe of the day has come. How can your scruples help you? A group of rhetorical measures are useless. Now Liu Yuna has ordered the city to be closed, and we are all locked up in the city to die. He can make a name for himself. ”

"How many people in Luoyang City are looking for fun and are drunk with money? is loyal to his surname Liu. Zhao Guan's family is free to spend all day drinking, but he taught me to be loyal to the country. ”

Liu Yu was startled, and hurriedly shook his hand: "These words can't be said." Madam, you wait a few days, now is the critical time, the gates are guarded by Liu Tao's people, even if you think about the rules, it is useless. Let's wait two days. ”

Qian and Liu Yu have been husband and wife for many years, and when they saw Liu Yu's appearance, they fell in love and shouted: "You must have the law, tell me quickly." ”

Liu Yu shook his head again and again, only then did he have a frown about this matter, so he couldn't say more. "Madame Hugh wants to ask more, just rest assured." It's dead or alive and don't spit out a word. This made Qian even more convinced.

……

That night, a series of shouts of killing rang out outside Tokyo. This was a plan by the Liangshan army to harass the enemy, only bluffing, waving the flag and shouting. In fact, there is no real threat, but where does Liu Tao dare to slack off. Strictly ordered his subordinate soldiers Ding Yong to stay on guard at night and be on guard at all times. ()
