In Xiangyang City, Yao Gu Mansion.

It was evening, it was dark, and the lights and candles were already lit in the mansion.

In the study, Yao Gu was sitting in the circle chair at the moment, holding a scroll in his hand and reading.

The shouts of killing from time to time outside did not make him feel flustered.

In the past few days, the Liangshan bandits have attacked diligently, but every day at night, it is necessary to rest. Now it's coming to an end.

The reinforced Xiangyang city wall is very powerful, and it has been repaired continuously, and it has been bombarded by artillery for several days, and it has not collapsed. How could an enemy army outside the city break through the city?

In Xiangyang City, there are more than 20,000 defenders, complete weapons, and sufficient food and water reserves, even if they are surrounded by the army for a year and a half, they cannot bring any inconvenience to Xiangyang City.

With such a strong defense, it is no wonder that Yao Gu is so calm at the moment.

Compared with the attack outside, he was more concerned about the changes in the city. Don't think he doesn't know. This army was pulled up by him, and his large and small armies all know him from the bottom to the bottom, and the changes in the demeanor of some people cannot be concealed from those who have a heart.

But he is also a bogeyman, because he has no real evidence, and once he arrests someone, it will definitely make the already floating military spirit even more shocked. He has to be concerned about the influence.

Moreover, these people are all leaders of the army, and many of their henchmen are in the army, once they are shocked, it will be a big deal.

Yao Gu was so distraught that he could only pick up the book, and he could barely suppress his chaotic thoughts.

"Put!" I saw an order on the city wall.

The sound of "poof" was continuous, and the arrows broke through the air, dense and dense, like a shower. Shot into the wooden bowl under the castle, making a sound like entering the flesh.

The power of the moat with a width of 20 zhang is naturally extraordinary. It is obviously not possible to use a moat bridge to penetrate it like a normal moat. The Liangshan military used a large wooden raft of thigh-thick logs juxtaposed side by side, covered with dry firewood and grass bundles. It was covered with bags of sand, as it would prevent rockets, firebombs, and the like from the city. At the same time, it also makes the 'ground' more solid.

In this way, when the arrow falls, doesn't there be this sound of entering the flesh?

When night falls, the embers are curling, and there is still a little fire burning on the 'ground'.

"What is the Liangshan army doing under the city?" Standing on the upper floor of the city, looking at the situation below, Zhang Qiong's face was very ugly.

The Liangshan army sent several caves to the city wall and pounded against the city for a while. The city was shot with crossbow arrows, smashed with stones, and even poured fire oil, but the eggs were useless. The Liangshan army has long been guarding against this.

The structure of the cave is an iron frame, with iron plates on top of it, and thigh-thick logs are covered with cowhide, and finally a layer of rotten mud is added.

Therefore, crossbows, arrows, and stones are not afraid. As for the small rocket, it is even more of a willow wind blowing in the face, and it is useless.

"I don't know." The commander of the city looked at the cave under the city, and he was also puzzled, not knowing that Liang Shanjun was going crazy.

No one knew that boxes of medicine had been put into holes at the base of the walls.

It's just a matter of time. The time that Lu Qian finalized was midnight, and there was still some time before now.

However, the defenders of the city did not know whether they were going to know or not, but they had a very simple view that what the enemy wanted to do was what they wanted to destroy.

Even after Yao Gu heard the news, he looked at a few caves under the city, and muttered faintly in his heart, and there was a bad premonition in the dark.

They poured oil and threw bundles of dry firewood, and the fire enveloped the whole shield cart. However, the Liangshan army reacted quickly, and they raised buckets of sand and easily "doused" the fire.

This kind of hole leads from the foot of the city to the other side of the moat.

"What are they going to do?" Do you dig against the foot of the wall? Yao Gu felt that it was not so simple. But he really couldn't think of what Liang Shanjun was going to do?

He had already asked people to set up a vat inside the city wall, and if Liang Shanjun wanted to carry out some tunnel projects, he would inevitably make Liangshan army outside the city taste failure.

Even this section of the city wall has been bombarded by artillery outside the city for many days.

Yao Gu, who was full of confidence, didn't expect what would happen soon after, because this was too incredible for people in the current era. In the Liangshan Army, many people don't know whether Lu Qian's actions can be as good as they want, and they haven't seen the test scene in Liangshan Boli at all.

The cannonballs were not enough to hit the city, and occasionally a shell or two would even fall from the wall onto the hole. Yao Guren has already left the city, and the firearms of the Liangshan army are very powerful, and when you see the cannonballs coming, it is too late to dodge. Even if it looks very slow.

It was like enough cannonstone.

The defenders couldn't figure out how the Liangshan army was attacking, and the crazy attack came to an abrupt end after Yao Gu went down to the city.

The defenders, who had no reverie about the blasting, were not too wary of it at all.

"King, the hour has come, please give the order!" Tao Zongwang, who was in charge of this matter, personally reported in front of Lu Qian. This attack on Xiangyang City, Lu Qian was determined to win, so he found Tao Zongwang, who had rich experience in civil engineering, to lead the team.

Lu Qian looked at the big city in front of him coldly, didn't speak, but made a move!

Ignition!

The time had come, and nothing could stop him.

After this order, the towering Xiangyang city wall will collapse with a bang, and the iron-clad Xiangyang city will be completely torn apart. The Liangshan army did not need to capture the whole city immediately, and his only purpose now was to completely annihilate the defenders of Xiangyang.

"Obey." Tao Zongwang immediately responded.

At this time, the defenders of the city suddenly found that a group of Liangshan troops were rapidly withdrawing from the cave.

Zhang Qiong, who was guarding the city, subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but he just couldn't understand what it was. This sense of powerlessness made his face full of iron, and he watched Liang Shanjun retreat, knowing that they were fighting ghost ideas, but he just couldn't figure it out, this was really embarrassing. Zhang Qiong could only ask people to shoot with bows and crossbows, but the ominous feeling that was entwined in his heart could not be dissipated for a long time, and he asked himself in a low voice: "What kind of conspiracy is this Liangshan thief?" ”

At this time, in the cave, a fire rope of more than 100 meters has been ignited. The arquebus crackled and burned at an even speed towards the foot of the wall.

There were four tunnels in the tunnel, and hundreds of people ran out of it.

"Boom! Boom ......" shook the heavens and the earth, four huge mushroom clouds appeared, and the dust splashed up covered the crescent moon in the sky, and the scarred city wall in the west of the city was already bombed, and it fell down in the dust and rubble, and there were three gaps of different sizes on the city wall on the west side of Xiangyang City.

As for why there were three instead of four, the cover was because two holes were too close to each other, and the middle wall collapsed after the explosion.

There was silence between heaven and earth, and Lu Qian, who had seen many explosions with his own eyes, felt that he was in a trance for a moment. This is the first explosion on earth, and thousands of years from now, there will inevitably be a stroke in the history books of today.

looked left and right, and saw that a group of generals were dumbfounded, and the steel in Yuan Lang's hand fell to the ground; Xu Guanzhong, who has always been great, also opened his mouth wide; The black whirlwind with a horizontal face, the muscles on his face twitched more straight, as if a small electric motor was installed.

"Beat the drums, strike! If you don't break the thief Song at this time, when will you stay? ”

At this time, the surrounding civil and military came back to their senses and echoed one after another.

The Liangshan army, which was lying in ambush a mile away, heard the sound of war drums, shouted fiercely, and jumped up in unison. The red-haired ghost and the second general Yue Fei, led by him, lifted their weapons and rushed straight to the gap. The shouts of the soldiers were deafening, and the whole outside of Xiangyang City was boiling.

"Xiangyang City is broken, brothers, go forward and kill." Holding a simple knife, the red-haired ghost is now all red, and everything in front of him is incredible, just like the legendary fairy spell. The big and small eyes on the side are the same, they were the same as Lu Junyi and Xu Guanzhong earlier, they were stupid. If it weren't for the sound of drums to wake them up, where would these people think of attacking?

And at this moment, the officers and soldiers of the Liangshan Army, who felt that there was infinite strength surging all over their bodies, were like a surging tide, and they couldn't even care about the flag queue in excitement, and pounced on them like crazy.

In fact, it is impossible to care about the queue, and not to mention how complicated the terrain at the gap is, so that the ears of the ambush army, to say the least, are 1,800 people, and they are still roaring at this moment. When the soldiers jumped, they were born with a step of slowness.

For a while, Xiangyang Xicheng shouted and killed the sky, and at the gap, the tide poured into the Liangshan army, and in just a few minutes, three or two thousand people poured in.

Yao Gu jumped up from the study and stood on the steps, listening to the cheers and shouts of Liang Shanjun, his face was as ugly as death, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, he had already thought of something from the previous explosion and the sudden shout.

As soon as the city was destroyed, the morale of the whole army was low, and although the number of people was large, it was useless, and this doom was imminent. What's more, there are already some people in Xiangyang City who have different intentions.

The guards hurriedly came up to help him, but Yao Gu was like a serious illness, and his whole body had no energy, so he just closed his eyes in a gloomy manner.

The city gate was wide open, and the surging Liangshan army was quickly diverted, divided into countless units, and advanced in an all-round way towards the east of the city. The dejected Song army couldn't resist it at all, and many people had no intention of resisting, so they only ran eastward.

Wang Xiaozhong rushed westward with troops at this moment, and the Song army behind him was no less than 2,000 people, all neatly draped, with only a white scarf tied on his right arm. The person beside him was not the one who had seen Lu Qian yesterday.

"You take people to see the grain and grass, you wait for the others to go to the Xiangyang Prefecture Ya, and you follow me to the Yao Xianggong Mansion."

The Liangshan army was too powerful, and this increase broke Xiangyang City. What else can Wang Xiaozhong choose? Naturally, it was a rebellion.

"This general Wang Xiaozhong also, I surrendered myself, do you dare to resist?"

Under the light of the torches, Wang Xiaozhong shouted at a wave of rebels fleeing eastward. Damn, Lao Tzu has descended, do you rabbit cubs still dare to turn the sky?

With Wang Xiaozhong's cooperation, the resistance in Xiangyang City was almost not large-scale.

In Yao Gu's mansion, the soldiers loyal to Yao Gu are still guarding the mansion with knives and guns. After Yao Gu heard the news of Wang Xiaozhong's rebellion, a touch of shame appeared on his face, "I stained the word loyalty and filial piety in vain." ”

"What about Zhang Qiong?"

"Zhang Tongzhi is covered in the city wall."

Yao Gu let out a long breath. He was not worried about Wang Xiaozhong's guarding the city gate, and it was not for nothing. "Die a well-deserved death, although there is no regret in dying."

After speaking, he picked up the wine cup on the table and drank it all. The men in this mansion are all men raised by his Yao family for generations, and he Yao Gusheng can't take them rich and glorious, so let's exchange his death for a way for them to live.

"General......
