Chapter 1361: Siege
Qin Tian and they stayed in Jinling City for two days, and during these two days, they made gunpowder on a large scale, and then made it into a heaven-shaking sound.
Two days later, Qin Tian led his soldiers and horses to chase in the direction where King Huainan had fled.
After chasing like this for a few days, they heard some news about the king of Huainan.
"Little grandfather, the king of Huainan went to Chuzhou City, and Ouyang Bo, the assassin of Chuzhou, directly dedicated the city, without even the slightest resistance."
After hearing the news, Cheng Chumo and the others were immediately annoyed.
"This Ouyang Bo turned out to be such a spineless person, he didn't even resist, and surrendered to the rebels, hateful, hateful."
"That's right, when I go to Chuzhou City and destroy the rebels, I will cut him with a knife."
"I'm also one, and I'm going to cut him with a knife."
“…………”
Everyone was very angry, but Qin Tian was calmer.
He knew very well the fate of two thousand soldiers and horses against tens of thousands of rebels, and he had also experienced it in Jinling City, and with the ability of Ouyang Bo to assassinate Shi Ouyang Bo in Chuzhou, he couldn't even hold it for half a day.
So, does he have any other option than to surrender?
Of course, Qin Tian also felt that Ouyang Bo was a little spineless like this, big husband, if he couldn't keep it, he would die, what was this?
When he thought about it like this, Qin Tian smiled bitterly, because he suddenly thought that if he encountered such a situation, he was afraid that he would not be stupid and wait for death.
I should be able to run away.
However, Ouyang Bo did not run away.
Qin Tian's eyebrows condensed slightly, and he vaguely seemed to have some conjectures, but he didn't know if his conjecture was correct.
The soldiers and horses continued to move forward, and a few days later, they came to the city of Chuzhou.
At this time, the gate of Chuzhou City was closed, and the soldiers patrolling the city tower did not dare to stop for a moment.
Qin Tian's spies told Qin Tian about the situation.
"Brother Qin, should we attack the city?" Cheng Chumo was in a hurry, and now he wanted to try the power of the earth-shattering sound, and then fight the rebels.
Qin Tian was not in a hurry, and said, "Wait a minute, tomorrow, it's not early today, let's rest first." ”
After a long journey along the way, they really didn't have much rest, and it was obviously unfavorable to attack the city in this situation, even if they had something like an earth-shattering sound, they had to be fully prepared.
The Tang army set up camp in Wuli outside the city of Chuzhou and rested for a night.
Early the next morning, Qin Tiancai came to the city of Chuzhou with soldiers and horses.
King Huainan, who had already received the news, was already standing on the city tower, he seemed to be very high-spirited, and he was even more disdainful of Qin Tian under the city.
And he felt that he had this capital and disdained Qin Tian.
Because the walls of Chuzhou City are still quite firm, there are not as many soldiers and horses in his city as Qin Tian, and in the case of defending the city, he occupies an absolute advantage.
Comparatively speaking, it was impossible for Qin Tian to capture the city at all.
"Qin Tian, feng shui takes turns, today you attack the city, I want you and your soldiers and horses to be seriously damaged, I want revenge."
Qin Tian smiled: "What feng shui rotates, it seems that the prince fled here, right?" ”
"You ......"
Qin Tian shrugged his shoulders and said, "Give the prince one last chance, if you are willing to surrender, the Holy Lord will be merciful and can spare your life, but if you still refuse to surrender, then it is difficult to say what kind of situation the prince will face after capturing Chuzhou City." ”
King Huainan pursed his lips: "You threaten this king, do you think this king is afraid of your threat?" ”
The two of them scolded again when they didn't agree with each other, and after scolding a few words like this, King Huainan was a little bit of Qin Tian's opponent, so he didn't bother to say much, and scolded: "You have the ability to attack the city, what are you doing with so much nonsense?" ”
"Okay, if you attack the city, you will attack the city."
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Qin Tian's mouth, and then he ordered someone to pull the trebuchet out, where they were located, it was far away from the city tower, and it would definitely not be possible to throw it with their hands, so they could only use the trebuchet.
After the trebuchet came, Qin Tian waved his hand and shouted, "Launch." ”
At the sound of an order, the earth-shattering sound flew directly towards the city tower, and after flying to the city tower, it exploded directly.
However, if some of the speed is too fast, it may land early, because it is a porcelain jar, and after landing in advance, the situation will be very bad, and this thing will not explode, and it will become a spark if it is right.
This is the disadvantage of the earth-shattering sound now, and when there is time in the future, wrap the gunpowder in some sheepskin or something, even if it falls to the ground, it can still explode.
But now, they can only replace it with these things.
The earth-shattering sound rumbled on the tower of Chuzhou City, and the rebels who were bombed dodged in all directions, and there was no way to defend the city.
On the Tang army's side, taking advantage of this opportunity, they hurriedly rushed over, because the power of the earth-shaking sound was not big enough to blow a hole in the city wall, so after the earth-shaking sound passed, they still had to attack the city.
And once the Tang army attacked the city tower, the earth-shaking sound could no longer be used, and it was likely that their own soldiers and horses would be injured again, and they were a bit of a mouse-thrower.
And at this time, the rebels rushed up again, and they began to use sharp arrows, boulders, knives and guns to block the Tang army's siege.
Without the power of the earth-shattering sound, the siege of the city today is no different from before.
The earth-shattering sound can't blow open the city gate, so his only right and left will change the city to start deterring the enemy.
The role is there, but it still does not play a role in determining the outcome of the game.
In the end, it is still up to people to attack the city.
It's just that there are many rebels in the city, and the soldiers and horses of the Tang army are similar to the rebels, but they don't have any advantage in attacking the city.
After attacking like this for a day, by dusk, they had not been able to capture Chuzhou City.
Qin Tian's face became a little gloomy and ugly.
Cheng Chumo scolded angrily.
"Why is Chuzhou City so difficult to attack, this damn Ouyang Bo, if he hadn't sacrificed the city, we would have been so aggrieved?"
Qin Huaiyu didn't speak, he just glanced at Qin Tian, Qin Tian shook his head with a wry smile: "I can't capture the city today, Mingjin will collect his troops, and then find a way." ”
The power of the earth-shattering sound does not have the ability to break mountains and rocks, and if they attack the city like this, it will only give them an advantage at the beginning.
Now that they can't take the city, they can only think of other ways.
The Tang army retreated, the dusk fell, and the entire Chuzhou city looked gray.
King Huainan stood on the city tower, looking at the retreating Tang army, for the first time he tasted that kind of victory, at the beginning, he also wanted Qin Tian to retreat with soldiers and horses, and now, he finally let Qin Tian also taste this taste.
"Hmph, there is Chuzhou City, I will give you a year, and you will not want to break it, and when your strength is weakened, this king will cut you, and then plot the entire Tang Dynasty."
With this victory, the king of Huainan naturally has the hope of plotting against the Tang Dynasty.
