Chapter 235: Three Joys Are Coming
Tragic! It is not an exaggeration to describe Wei Bojun in three words.
In the last fight, Zhu Youwen suffered a loss from the imperial court, so this time he changed his strategy and thought that he could hold it.
I can't do it, Zhu Youwen knows this, but he thinks that at least he can hold the city wall without pressure.
Because he arranged a large number of long-range weapons such as stone throwers and bed crossbows on the city wall, in order to deal with the firearms of the imperial court.
Who knows if the Forbidden Army doesn't play their cards according to the routine, and who knows where they got the big black barrels.
The projectiles thrown from the big barrel were like thunder and lightning, and the projectiles hit the city wall like tofu.
lost three cities in a row, and Zhu Youwen realized that this thing was called a cannon.
The imperial court must be a monster. Zhu Youwen inquired very clearly, and when Wang Jian was beaten, the court only had stone-throwing trucks and rockets. How is it that in just a few months, the shotgun has been changed and such a thing has come out.
Is it tolerable or unbearable, Zhu Youwen slapped the table. As soon as he slapped the table, he wanted to make a hard one.
"Big brother, the forbidden army's cannon is also long-range, I think this thing has a weakness." Zhu Youwen began to incite.
Li Gongyan was beaten and retreated, and he had already lost his soul: "What is the third brother's strategy?"
I have to admire Zhu Youwen's ruthless vision: "The forbidden army's firearms are powerful, but their firearms are afraid of close combat."
"Melee?" Li Gongyan shuddered: "Don't you see the copper bumps in their waists, why didn't the second child have it?"
He was talking about Shi Si'an, poor Shi Si'an, he was the first to meet the vanguard of the forbidden army in the first battle of Huazhou.
At that time, he encountered the Left Dragon and Tiger Army of Kong Jie's department, and Shi Si'an was still the same. Riding a war horse with a fellow, he roared and rushed forward.
Shi Si'an is not stupid, he is very shrewd. Since the Left Dragon and Tiger Army was the vanguard of the arrival, the heavy firearms battalion was still behind. So Shi Si'an wanted to take advantage of this and make a hard rush.
In fact, he did the same, and he did bite into a stalemate with the Zuo Long Tiger Army. As soon as the armies of the two sides fought, they crackled and did it.
But Shi Si'an forgot that he didn't see the copper bumps on the waists of the pioneers of the Left Dragon and Tiger Army.
The vanguard of the Left Dragon and Tiger Army was first crushed at the touch of a button and retreated one after another. Shi Si'an swelled, he thought that these pioneers were vulnerable, so he rushed forward with a roar of double excitement.
Then he was tragic, who knew that the people were just hundreds of people in front of them retreating, and the soldiers in the middle did not move at all, and the soldiers were busy burning the copper bumps in their waists with fire.
Then, Shi Si'an watched as the copper bump emitted a puff of white smoke and drew a beautiful arc in the air and landed at his feet.
'Boom! With a bang, the copper grenade was at its most powerful. The intestines of the war horse under Shi Si'an's crotch were blown out.
After Shi Si'an flew out three meters away, as soon as he raised his head, more than a dozen of these copper bumps fell from the air.
It was as if he had been hit by a demine, he was blown up and blown up, thrown into the sky and then blown into the air.
What's worse is that this copper grenade is not very powerful, and it did not tear Shi Si'an apart, except for flying off a right leg, he is still a man.
Instead, the bones on his body were probably shattered into thousands of pieces, and the whole person was directly rotten.
Then Shi Si'an's army was disarmed and surrendered. Yes, they even peed their pants on the spot.
This left a deep shadow on Wei Bojun, and everyone said that the forbidden army was the undead from hell. It was the Heroic Spirit of the Emperor who brought the soul of the dead to take revenge, otherwise how could those crackling firearms be so like the flames of hell.
Zhu Youwen was a little speechless, but he still said: "Big brother, the forbidden firearms are powerful." We can only be beaten in a long battle, and I think we can only rush to the front hard, and this cannon will not be able to exert its power. Even if the cannon can hit us, after all, the range is limited, and if we rush three or four hundred people, one cannon will hit one or two at most. ”
Well, that's right, a cannon with a solid shell can shatter a city wall from a distance, but a melee cannon projectile will have a low casualty rate when hit. A few hundred people will hit a cannon, at most a few will die, and the rest will be done with one rush.
That's what Zhu Youwen thinks, it's all grasshoppers on a rope, and Li Gongyan can only listen to him: "Okay, third brother, what should you do?"
"In this way, big brother, tomorrow you will take three thousand iron horsemen and fight with them in Straw Hat Ridge. We're going to be in Wibmado, and I think that the cannon needs to be calibrated just like a catapult every time it fires. Let's just look at this air rush, I don't believe that I can't break him. ”
What Zhu Youwen said seems to have some truth, or it is a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
Li Gongyan took Wei Bojun out of the horse, the tooth soldier, known as the master of combat effectiveness.
Straw Hat Ridge, Zhan Yunpeng's right dragon and tiger army, more than ten cannons lined up.
The flag is unfurled, and the big Tang characters on the flagpole are hunting.
On the opposite side, Li Gongji's cavalry was waiting for the day, and the two sides were tense and on the verge of breaking out.
Wei Bojun's last family is at home, and he is fucking.
Li Gongyan can do it without being noisy, and he rushed up.
The Right Dragon Tiger Army is a brain-dead, it must be a brain-dead, Li Gongyan thought so in his heart.
Wei Bo's soldiers were afraid of artillery, so the cavalry crossed the attack, but the forbidden army on the opposite side was not in a hurry and was tinkering with their cannons.
Seeing that the tooth soldiers were about to rush over, the gunners of the Right Dragon and Tiger Army were still in a good time, and they used this stick to pound and pound at the mouth of the cannon barrel, just like Chang'e pounding medicine.
When Li Gongyan rushed to about 400 meters in front of the position, they stopped pounding, and the gunners lit the torches and lit the fuse.
Li Gongyan only felt that his scalp was numb, but since he had already rushed over, he had to bite the bullet.
The cavalry accelerated at close range, three hundred and fifty meters, three hundred and thirty meters......
The muzzle of the cannon was lowered and aimed at the cavalry of Li Gongyan opposite. The tooth soldiers rushed closer and closer, and the muzzle fuse became shorter and shorter.
The tooth soldiers gritted their teeth, closed their eyes, and muttered to the gods of all walks of life, praying that the cannonball would not fall on them.
'Boom! Rumble! Rumble! A few sounds, a puff of smoke came out of the muzzles of more than ten cannons, and the sky was full of rain.
They are all liars, and they don't play cards according to the routine. The tooth soldiers never dreamed that the cannon could be fired like this.
Shotguns, artillery weapons of close kill. To what extent, the cannon is full of small projectiles, like sand. As soon as the cannon was bombarded, it was scattered, like a fan, and the tooth soldiers who rushed in front, including the war horses under the crotch, became a sieve.
Unlucky, he was killed directly by a shotgun. The rest, some were seriously injured, and some were hit by projectiles almost in front of the body.
The striking horses fell, and the tooth soldiers were killed and wounded. The power of this shotgun is too terrifying, not to mention the Tang Dynasty, even if it is put in modern times, it is difficult for the gods to defeat it at such a close distance.
Li Gongjiao's eyes darkened, and several projectiles hit him in the face. By the time he opened his eyes, he was blind in his left eye. Blood covered his face, and the left half of his body was still numb.
Regaining consciousness a little, Li Gongyan felt the blood in his chest flow out. A projectile hit his heart in the spot, and although it didn't hit the heart directly, it had already broken an artery.
An injured horse struggled to get up and fell to the ground after several attempts. Li Gongyan was the same, he felt like this injured old horse, and he lost so much blood that he couldn't hold his heavy body several times.
A man and a horse struggled on the ground, and gradually the horse stopped standing up, leaving only two front legs twitching constantly.
And Li Gongyan's whole body was convulsing, one by one, and then a stream of black blood flowed out of his mouth.
Li Gongyan's eyes were still wide open, and he didn't bat at death. The rest of the tooth soldiers, dead and wounded. The right dragon and tiger army rushed up the mountain like a fierce tiger out of the sheath, like a sheath of swords.
This kind of battle can't be fought, it's just a line of flat pushing. The gap in equipment made Wei Bojun powerless, and this was the reappearance of the crusade against Xichuan.
Wei Bo's army was defeated, and Zhan Yunpeng's troops chased all the way. On the other hand, Kong Jie's Zuo Dragon and Tiger Army was the same, bombarding Zhu Youwen's Weizhou city wall, and heavy weapons such as stone throwers and bed crossbows on the Weizhou city wall had long been bombarded into slag by artillery.
The power of solid bullets is limited, but the accuracy is still possible. The stone throwers and bed crossbows on the Weizhou city wall were live targets in front of the big one, as if they were deliberately placed there for artillery bombardment.
Zhu Youwen was frightened, this time he wanted to escape again, but it was like an iron bucket that had been surrounded in all directions, and there was nowhere to escape.
Zhu Youwen knows very well that even if he surrenders, his fate will be a dead end. But he didn't have the courage to kill himself.
After Yang Liyan took refuge in Zhu Youwen, he thought he had picked up a life. Who knew that the imperial court would send troops to crusade against him at this time, and he ran over in a panic: "General Zhu, the city gate has been broken, and the forbidden army has attacked, what should we do!" What to do! ”
Zhu Youwen stayed motionless in the mansion like a wood, he had just escaped from the city wall.
Yang Liyan was furious, he shook Zhu Youwen vigorously, hoping that the other party could come up with a glimmer of life: "General Zhu, it's over!" It's over, we're done! ”
Zhu Youwen was in a panic all day long, and Yang Liyan was croaking around like a crow. Zhu Youwen was furious, and slashed Yang Liyan to death with a sword, and he trembled slightly and put the long sword around his neck.
The shouts of the forbidden army outside were getting closer and closer, and finally someone kicked the door of the palace open, and a team of forbidden troops rushed in and surrounded Zhu Youwen.
Zhu Youwen gritted his teeth, slashed the blade on his neck, and died.
When Kong Jie ran in, Zhu Youwen had committed suicide for a long time. He looked at Zhu Youwen who was lying in a pool of blood, but unfortunately he didn't catch him alive.
Wei Bojun was defeated so easily, and all this seemed to be expected by everyone.
King Li Keyong of Jin, he also reached the time when the oil ran out of lamps. He was speechless, Li Cunqiao and the others gathered in front of the bed, Li Ke pointed at something with his dry hand, and he didn't know what to say.
Li Cunmiao rushed over and grabbed his father's hand: "Daddy, what else do you have to explain?"
Li Keyong just yelled, and everyone next to him was puzzled. Li Cunmiao thought for a while: "Dad, did you ask the child to agree to the imperial court's reduction?"
Knowing his father Mo Ruozi, Li Keyong no longer yelled, he looked at Li Cunqiao directly, hoping that he would nod and agree.
Li Cunmiao felt a thousand difficulties in his heart, on the one hand, he couldn't bear to disobey his father's dying wishes, and on the other hand, he didn't want to be at the mercy of the imperial court so easily.
Li Keyong's meaning was obvious, and before the court could speak, he took the initiative to write a letter asking for the reduction of the domain. In this way, not only can he leave a good impression in front of the emperor, but the court will not neglect himself.
But Li Cunmiao is extremely ambitious, and he is unwilling not to be a vassal king, let alone submit to the imperial court.
The court is very capable of fighting, first beating Wang Jian all over the ground to find teeth, and then beating Zhu Youwen to lose his armor.
But he has more than 100,000 Jin troops in his hands, and when the time comes, he will join forces with Yang Xingmi, Zhong Chuan, Ma Yin, Wang Xianzhi, Liu Rengong and other big feudal towns, and he may not have no chance of winning.
It's a big deal that when the time comes, if you go to contact the Khitan, Tatar, Tuyuhun, and Tubo foreigners, you don't believe that the court really has three heads and six arms. Even if the imperial court firearms are powerful, so many forces are not vegetarians.
Wealth and danger are sought, princes and generals are like each other, and there is a kind of it. Why should he, the Li family, have been doing it for hundreds of years, and it is time to give up the position.
Thinking of this, Li Cunmiao refused to agree, Li Ke used his last bit of strength to grab his hand, and his mouth was whimpering, but he couldn't say half a word.
Li Cunmiao shook off his hand violently, stood up and said, "Daddy, become a king and lose a villain." The child doesn't want to surrender like this, the child wants to fight! ”
Li Ke was shocked, he knew that there was still hope for surrender at the moment, and high-ranking officials in the court were also indispensable. But Li Cunmiao was determined to fight the court to the end, and Li Keyong kept holding back, knowing that starting a war with Li Ji was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
But his son doesn't listen at all now, and his mind is full of the lord of the world. Li Ke pointed at Li Cunqiao with his eyes full of despair, trembling, and finally lowered his hand and slowly closed his eyes.
Everyone was shocked and grabbed it one after another.
"Daddy!"
"Father-in-law!"
Wei Bo's army was defeated, the imperial court took back Wei Bo, and the news soon spread to the capital.
Li Jizhi on the Hanyuan Hall was complacent, he killed Wei Bojun so easily, and the next step was to start cutting the domain.
The ministers are also full of praise, they won a big battle, half of the Tang Dynasty is in the hands of the imperial court, and it is only a matter of time before they dominate the world.
When the ministers were elated, Fan Yao handed over a superstitious letter.
This is the news that the bad people got from the King of Jin, Li Ji opened it and looked at it, slapped the table and stood up.
The ministers immediately fell silent, not knowing what was happening. I saw Li Ji's face full of joy: "Li Ke has used it!"
The ministers were shocked, the news came too suddenly. Rick is dead?
"Hahaha, God help me!" Double happiness came to the door, Li Ji happily walked back and forth in front of the dragon chair: "As soon as Li Keyong dies, our next plan can also begin."
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, three joys are coming!" One man walked out screaming.
Li Ji took a look, Li Baoguo?
I saw Li Baoguo salute: "Your Majesty, the first batch of molten iron in the steel plant has been successfully smelted, and the strength of the steel trained is extremely high. The output is dozens of times that of the past, and it can be used to make weapons and farm tools. If you continue to improve the process in the next step, with this steel, there should be no problem in making flowering bullets. ”
