Chapter 140: Bombardment of Chaozhou

The sharp blade stabbed into the ribs like lightning, and then quickly pulled out, the matte blade was spotless, only a trace of reddish blood on the blade.

"What a quick knife, boy......"

Qingyang was like a punctured ball, he let out his vitality, pressed the Dao robe that had been wet with blood with one hand, and slowly sat down against the wall behind him.

"Sure enough, it's the punishment of the sword soldiers, and the place where I died is worth it! Even if you die, you don't insult the ability of the Daomen, and the hexagram is accurate ......"

Qingyang Lao Dao poured his breath one by one, and without waiting for Zhao Tianyou to say anything, he fell to the corner of the wall as soon as his head crooked and his hand loosened, and the blood on the ground spread silently, soaking the gray robe.

Zhao Tianyou didn't believe that Qingyang died so simply, the flaw just now was not fatal, Qingyang shouldn't be able to dodge, it can be calculated that Zhao Tianyou is not a person from this world, he should be regarded as a master, how can he die so simply and easily?

However, the pool of blood on the ground and Lao Dao's pale and bloodless face did not seem to be a trick to trick Zhao Tianyou, so he gently leaned over and touched his carotid artery, confirming that Lao Dao had no pulse and could not die anymore.

After hesitating for a while, Zhao Tianyou first reached out to touch Qingyang's medicine gourd, the magic of the light green pill may be fake, but he can find an animal to try it to verify whether it is really effective.

Zhao Tianyou shook the medicine gourd, there was still half a bottle of pill in it, and put it into his arms, looking at the corpse on the ground and thinking about what happened in the past half a day, there was always something that he couldn't understand.

Qingyang Taoist priest can spy on the heavens, and can calculate Zhao Tianyou's anomaly, as well as the big-eyed saintess Yaozhu, who followed him and begged him for divination very earnestly, from where he said that he should not be a short-lived guy. It's like in a movie, the guy who is definitely a pig's foot style who has a compelling appearance is definitely a dog's foot in a blink of an eye, which really surprised the audience.

However, Zhao Tianyou didn't know that Qingyang had committed so many sins for so many years, and he should have died a long time ago under the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, but he had been relying on the Huitian Pill in his arms to continue his life, and traveled all over the world to find treasures containing aura.

There was a burst of people shouting and neighing downstairs, and through the window, I saw that it was Ling Zhen with dozens of cavalry, who had just come to the door, Ling Zhen pushed away the house slave guarding the door, and strode in.

"General Zhao, is General Zhao here?"

Ling Zhen found Zhao Tianyou's VIP room, and did not break in directly, but asked in a low voice at the door. As long as it is a normal man, it is impossible to push the door outside the room of the brothel, in case of encountering a fragrant scene, wouldn't it be reckless and embarrassing, and disturb the good things of the people inside, and he will be hated.

Zhao Tianyou pushed the door, pulled in Ling Zhen and snapped the door shut, pointed to the corpse on the ground with his hand and said, "Call your people to come and deal with it, it's been dead for a while." ”

"Well, okay!" Ling Zhen exited the room, sent the other soldiers back to the camp, leaving only a few reliable personal soldiers, and handed over the scene to his subordinates after turning back, and pulled Zhao Tianyou to ride to Zhang Zhensun's mansion together.

"What's going on?" Jiang Maotong just suffered a dumb loss, could it be that he was angry and wanted to turn his face with Zhang Zhensun.

Ling Zhen said on horseback: "Zhang Hongfan is gathering a large army to attack Chaozhou, and Chaozhou Kuaima has sent a letter asking for help, which is an important military situation, and Lord Zhang hopes that General Zhao will participate in the discussion." ”

"Zhang Hongfan, attack Chaozhou ......" Zhao Tianyou immediately calculated the time, Zhang Hongfan, who destroyed the Great Song Dynasty in Yashan, wanted to go to Yashan between Panyu and Guangzhou, unless he got on the boat from Chaozhou and went to Yashan by sea.

"Chaozhou may not last long, Zhang Hongfan has been preparing in Meizhou for a few months, and it turns out that he is casting siege artillery!"

Zhao Tianyou's heart was excited, and he immediately asked: "Zhang Hongfan is attacking Chaozhou with artillery?" How powerful, what kind of shells? ”

"I only heard one sentence, Lord Zhang immediately sent me everywhere to look for you, and found that Baiyi Nunnery Holy Maiden Yaozhu, only to know that General Zhao came here to eat flower wine, what happened to that Taoist priest?"

The two of them chatted word by word, Zhao Tianyou did not directly answer the reason for killing Danyang, and quickly rushed to the Xianglong Mansion where Zhang Zhensun worked.

"General Zhao is here, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Zhang Zhensun got up and left his seat, and walked up from behind the table, a little too enthusiastic. Beside him were three ragged soldiers, dressed in dust, tearing bread and roast chicken on the table, and eating them in large gulps.

Zhao Tianyou waved his hand and said: "These messengers are from Chaozhou, let's not talk nonsense and focus on the point, what is the power of Zhang Hongfan's siege cannon, what does it look like when the cannon is fired, tell me as much detail as possible." ”

The three soldiers devoured the food in their mouths, and the leader opened his mouth and said loudly: "I have seen in the city, the cannon is drawn from eight horses, the barrel is very large, very heavy, the sound of the cannon is as loud as thunder, and it is deafening five hundred paces away.

The cannonballs fired were iron balls weighing more than ten catties, and a cannon could shatter the arrows at the head of the city, and also shoot iron and gravel, and after a cannon sounded, the broken stone and iron were overwhelming, killing and injuring too many soldiers in the city.

The north gate of the city was shattered by shells, and now it has been completely blocked by rolling wood and stones, and the brick walls at the head of the city have been shattered too much, and some sections have collapsed. We did not dare to raise our heads at the head of the city, although the flying gravel and iron were not fatal, but there were too many wounded people in the eyes and faces, and the soldiers were unstable and timid.

Zhang Hongfan did not send soldiers to attack the city directly, but only bombarded the city head with artillery, killing and wounding the defenders of the city head and destroying the city walls and gates, and we could only be beaten in vain, without the slightest strength to fight back. The partial general Xie Junhe led the crowd out of the city at night to attack the camp, and the 800 cavalry were caught in the enemy's trap, and none of them escaped and all of them were killed.

The next morning, the Yuan soldiers were drying their bodies under the city, and the angry general Peng Yu scolded Zhang Hongfan at the head of the city, but he was hit by a cannonball fired by the Yuan soldiers' cannons, and his body was broken into two, and he died of blood.

Lord Zhang, please send troops to rescue Chaozhou, maybe it's too late, but a few of my people broke through, and the price was also the lives of a dozen brothers, I hope Lord Zhang will consider it! After finishing speaking, the three soldiers knelt on their knees and knelt down in front of Zhang Zhensun.

Zhao Tianyou breathed a sigh of relief in his heart after hearing this, the cannon cast by Zhang Hongfan was still very rudimentary, and its power was also very in line with the characteristics of this era, otherwise Zhao Tianyou should have suspected that there was a person from outside the sky who stood in the camp of the opposing Yuan soldiers.

"This was four days ago, can I still catch up with the troops again?"

Zhang Zhensun hesitated in his words, and looked at Zhao Tianyou, as if asking for his opinion.

Zhao Tianyou said: "His hundreds of thousands of troops are gathered outside the city, if he just wants to capture Chaozhou, with the help of artillery, he can break the city in just one day." If we send reinforcements, I am afraid that we will fall for Zhang Hongfan's scheme, and what he is waiting for is reinforcements. ”
