At the nine gates of the capital, the tragic siege battle has been played for two days.

Since ancient times, siege warfare has been one of the most tragic battlefields. The blood foam and corpses under the city tower condensed together, and the blood covered the city walls red.

The lives of countless soldiers are nothing more than the victims of careerists to achieve their goals.

Prince Kang's big tent, the spies came to report: "Lord, fifty miles away from the northern city, a large number of cavalry has been found, and it is estimated that there will be no less than 20,000. There are no less than 30,000 light infantry in the back......"

"Report, the border army was found in the west......"

"Report, the nearly 30,000 Jinyi military cavalry in the south are less than sixty miles away from the capital......"

Prince Kang's face was gloomy and fearful.

These people and horses are not his, so obviously, these are all people and horses of the imperial court.

How could the people of the imperial court come so quickly!!

He held up the banner that there was a rebellion in Beijing, and he led the army to quell the rebellion. But a few days ago, he plotted to rebel, and the news of the siege of the capital began to spread all over the world.

Although they also immediately sent people to curb it with rumors, as time passed, people's hearts gradually shifted to the side of the truth.

But he thought that by the time the people of the world reacted, he would have ascended the throne and become the emperor, and those who obeyed and rebelled would die!

Didn't the Emperor Yongli of the previous dynasty also rebelled and seized the throne, but after he succeeded, didn't the people of the world still respect him as the emperor, and was sung as a generation of saints by later generations!

However, only five days have passed, and King Qin's army is approaching the capital?

No one may believe it in the history books!

"Lord Wang, don't worry, now we have nearly 200,000 troops in our hands, even if they have three reinforcements, the strength is still no match for us.

As long as we break the city, these soldiers and horses may not be willing to oppose the prince. When the time comes, it may be used to suppress the unsubordinate.

Therefore, for the sake of today, we only need to send troops to disturb them, prevent them from approaching the capital, and then do our best to break the city.

As long as the city is broken, the big thing will be decided. ”

The strategist said to Prince Kang.

"The order was ordered, ordering General Pei to block the south, Cai commanding the envoy to block the northwest, and General Qin to block the north. All the rest of the city, attack the nine gates with all your strength at the same time! ”

"Yes!"

......

Jia Qing, Wang Ziteng, Niu Jizong and other military bigwigs stood on the city wall together, looking at the overall situation.

Niu Jizong said: "The rebel king is starting to panic. ”

Wang Ziteng said: "It means that the most tragic offensive and defensive battle is about to begin." ”

Turning his head, Wang Ziteng said: "I heard that you still have a back hand, and the rebel king is about to desperately attack the city, it's time to take it out, right?" ”

In the past few days of city defense, Wang Ziteng has seen the huge advantage of firearms in city defense, and his concept has changed somewhat.

He had accidentally heard that Jia Qing still had a weapon that had not been removed from the arsenal, so he couldn't help but ask.

Jia Qing smiled, and then said mysteriously: "There is still half a day to ......"

Wang, Niu and the others frowned.

The smile on Jia Qing's face, no matter how you look at it, looks like a winning ticket.

......

On the north and south sides of the capital, Shi Ding and Zhan Yang received a letter with similar content almost at the same time.

After Shi Ding's lieutenant looked at it, he said: "Master Hou, don't you have a grudge against you, and you want to be cannon fodder?" ”

"Fart!"

Shi Ding took back the secret letter and said, "Just do what you said above!" ”

To the south, Zhan Yang was a little hesitant.

Wu Yu, the former deputy commander of the forbidden army, said: "Lord Zhan, those who walk a hundred steps are half ninety. Further, add officials to the knighthood, take a step back, this trip is in vain.

Adults should know how to choose. ”

Wu Yu was deceived into being transferred out of Beijing, and when he found out, he wanted to go back to Beijing, but there was no way out.

He was not stupid, he saw that the person besieging the city was Prince Kang, and he had already guessed most of the truth. So he didn't rush to the capital, but led his cronies to secretly contact King Qin's division.

When he heard that Zhan Yang had brought a large number of horsemen to the north of King Qin, he decisively came to take refuge.

Although in terms of grade, he is still half a level higher than Zhan Min, but at this time, soldiers are power! As long as Nanzhen Fusi makes a great contribution in this counterinsurgency, he can make up for his merits and make another contribution.

Moreover, he knew that Zhan Min was Emperor Zhengqing's person and was relatively trustworthy.

"Okay, according to the Taibao-sama's wishes! General Wu, you are the striker, and I will press for you in the back! "Zhan Yang is arrogant and dry.

Wu Yu glanced at this shameless man, didn't say anything, turned around and transferred troops.

Half a day later......

In a private house under the Xicheng, the general of the city guard came to report: "Bingtaibao, there are a large number of sneak cavalry on the left and right sides of the big tent of the rebel king, and the rebel king mobilizes nearly more than 50,000 troops to block it, and the offensive in Xicheng has slowed down sharply. ”

"Good!"

Jia Qing let out a loud shout and said directly to the "mud legs" in the room: "Everything is ready, it's up to you!" ”

Before coming to the map, Jia Qing pointed to a slope circled on it and said: "Later, I will order a salvo of hundreds of cannons on the city tower, and then the cavalry will kill to cover, and you will quickly push the eight 'long necks' to this place."

Remember, you only have half an hour to reload and adjust the orientation and angle!

Qiu San, I told you to go up to the city tower every day these days, have you seen the central king's tent in the camp of the rebel king? ”

As long as you hit the target, whether you kill the rebel king or not, the firearms division that is about to be established in Beijing will be yours!

If your kid is lucky enough to blow up the rebel king, hehe, even if you are given a hereditary title, it's not impossible!! ”

Langzhong, the third official rank of the yamen in the center of the imperial court, from the third rank. As for the hereditary title, hehe, the prince and uncle, the minimum is the second grade, and it can be passed down to at least three generations. Then it is not a wealth that can be measured by rank......

Seeing that the ambition of these firearms craftsmen was aroused, Jia Qing smiled slightly and said: "After the first shot, whether it hits or not, you have to blow up as fast as you want, and it is best to raze the entire big tent to the ground, do you understand?" ”

"Understood!"

......

The ultra-long-distance artillery to defend the city did not have much advantage, so Jia Qing didn't use it before.

If you use it and are seen by the enemy, you will be on guard.

Now that the decisive moment has come, if you take it all out, there will be unexpected results!

He wants to destroy the rebel command center in one fell swoop.

It would be better if Prince Kang was blown up by the way......

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The sound of artillery in the sky could be heard even by Prince Kang, who was miles away.

He walked out of the tent and said, "What is this sound?" ”

After a while, his subordinates went back and forth: "Report to the prince, hundreds of cannons suddenly appeared on the city tower, and the soldiers were killed and injured countless times, and then the rebels opened the city gate and rushed out thousands of cavalry to ......"

"Lord Wang, they are going to fight a decisive battle with us! First, there were sneak cavalry on both sides, and now they have opened the city gates, which are preparing to sneak attack our big tent! ”

The advisor analyzed.

"Hmph, how can the lonely king not see such a trick? They thought that sending a few cavalry would be able to empty all the soldiers and horses around the Lone King?

Have one's head in the clouds!

But they dared to open the city gates, and God helped me.

The herald ordered that for the time being, regardless of the men and horses on both sides, order all the soldiers on standby in the camp to dispatch the whole army to enter the capital in one fell swoop and kill all the rebels! ”

Prince Kang sneered. Although there were tens of thousands of enemy troops on both sides, they were at least twenty miles away. The city gate is close at hand.

Excluding the 60,000 troops he sent to hold back the enemy, he still had tens of thousands of soldiers guarding the king's tent, and they were his cronies. If you kill it in one go, you will definitely be able to break the city!

Prince Kang's eyes suddenly became hot.

It seems that the people in the city are also very competitive, and finally show their flaws......

Big event, can be expected!

There was a purpose-built watchtower next to the central king's tent, and Prince Kang climbed up to prepare to personally direct this vital battle.

Standing on the watchtower nearly ten zhang high, Prince Kang held a Western telescope and finally saw the battlefield.

It is the same as the soldier's return.

Thick black smoke rose from the dark city walls, and thousands of cavalry fanned out, harvesting the wounded soldiers on their side one by one......

Although there were heavy casualties on his side, he didn't care.

How can there be immortals in war, this is already the last rampant of the enemy. As long as these large armies from this side come out of the camp, they can devour these people in an instant. Then, before the other party had time to close the city gate, he rushed into the capital, killed all the rebels, and ascended to the throne.

Hey? What's that for?

Prince Kang suddenly found that in the battlefield with black smoke, these "little ants" shuttled, and they couldn't see it if they didn't look closely.

It seems, with a cart pushing something guys.

Is it artillery?

Prince Kang thinks it's incredible, cavalry with artillery, is this chicken ribs?

When the advisor saw that Prince Kang's face was different, he asked what was the matter.

Prince Kang gave the advisor a telescope and expressed his doubts.

"It's not good, Lord Wang, they seem to want to blow up the king's tent!" The advisor exclaimed.

Another strategist immediately laughed: "Nonsense, here is at least six or seven miles away from the city wall, what are you kidding by blowing up the king's tent?" ”

"yes, so they're pushing the cannon forward!"

"Yes." The other strategist also held up his binoculars and took a closer look.

"Hehe, you see they're not moving again.

So far that even the legendary longest-range crossbow is impossible to reach, artillery? Mr. Qu is joking! ”

Prince Kang was cautious and made no mistake, and said, "No matter what they want to do, order the cavalry to send out and intercept these people!" ”

The first strategist kept staring at those people, and when he saw them stop, he kept turning the artillery, and the last direction was their watchtower!

"It's not good, lord! Get off the tower quickly!! ”

There was no need for him to remind him, Prince Kang also saw it. Although I also think that it is impossible for artillery to hit this side, it is impossible for anyone to be calm when faced by this kind of thing.

Prince Kang thought about it for a while, and finally decided to go down first.

However, how fast they descended the tower compared to the speed of the cannonballs

A shadow of fire, with a graceful arc, pierced the sky, shattered the watchtower, and smashed on top of the center of the tent.

Suddenly, countless fragments were also carrying high temperature and flames, accompanied by an explosion, shooting towards a radius of dozens of zhang.
