Chapter 241: Chang'an Defensive Battle
Chang'an City, Zhao Shuo's mansion, Zhao Shuo paced back and forth, his brows deeply locked. Wang Song, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, launched an attack on the four gates of Chang'an City at the same time. Although the siege forces invested each time are not much, the momentum is fierce, and there is a great posture to take Chang'an City in one fell swoop.
The eastern, western, southern, and northern gates all sent soldiers to ask for advice, and the four generals asked surprisingly the same question, that is, whether they could use small cannonballs to meet the enemy.
This question doesn't seem to be a big deal, but Zhao Shuo smelled something different from it, that is, Wang Song's siege battle seemed to be playing for real.
The number of troops invested is not much, but it can force the defending generals to ask for the use of small cannonballs! This made Zhao Shuo worried.
"Go back and tell your generals that you can use small cannonballs when the time is right." After a pause, Zhao Shuo continued to the soldiers who came to inquire. "Let them remember that their first task is to defend Chang'an City, and in order to achieve this goal, they can use any means when necessary."
"Yes! The little one understands. The soldiers who came to inquire said in unison and saluted and left.
After the inquiring soldier left, Zhao Shuo was still a little uneasy, and he frowned and said to Fluttershy. "Fluttershy, go and call Liu Zheng, I have something to ask him."
"Yes, lord, the slave and maid will go." Fluttershy salutes and leaves.
"Lord Wang, this time Wang Song seems to be real, are we planning a breakthrough strategy?" Gonggong Feng asked with a worried face.
"I won't leave, Chang'an City must not be lost." Zhao Shuo said in a deep voice.
"But......" Gonggong Feng was very worried, and he stopped talking.
"Don't worry, I have my own way." Zhao Shuo said.
It doesn't take long for Liu Zheng to be brought over by Fluttershy.
"Little Liu Zheng pays a visit to the prince." As soon as he entered the door, Liu Zheng knelt on the ground and bowed.
"Hey~!" Zhao Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then helped Liu Zheng up. "Liu Zheng, you are also a second lieutenant now, in the future, this kind of gift will be exempted in private except for the official."
"Thank you, little one." Liu Zheng said respectfully.
"Liu Zheng, this king asks you, how many small cannonballs and muskets do you have in your hands now." After Zhao Shuo helped Liu Zheng up, he motioned for him to sit down, and then asked very casually.
Liu Zhenggang sat down, heard Zhao Shuo's inquiry, and hurriedly stood up reflexively, and bowed his hand. "Lord Qiqi, after this period of day and night work, there are now more than a hundred small cannonballs hoarded, and there are already eighteen muskets."
"Okay, okay." Zhao Shuo nodded approvingly, and then said. "Bring me all the muskets, and bring to the king those who practiced muskets in the arsenal."
"Lord Wang, do you want to bring the small cannonballs too?" Liu Zheng asked in a low voice.
"Small cannonballs are not used for the time being." Zhao Shuo waved his hand. "After you go back, just have someone bring the musket, and you will stay in the arsenal well, without my order, not a single shot or cannon can be mobilized."
"Yes!" Liu Zheng saluted and left.
About a quarter of an hour later, a team of more than 40 people came to Zhao Shuo's mansion, the leading 20 people, each carrying a musket, and the more than 20 people in the back were carrying cannonballs.
Zhao Shuo came to the team, took a musket from a spear-carrying soldier, and then ordered. "You are now divided into four teams, rush to the four gates, and specialize in dealing with the officers at all levels of the Qi army, the marshal is not idle, and the king is not too small, as long as he is an official, he will beat me to death."
"Yes!" Everyone said in unison.
Subsequently, the team of more than forty people divided into four teams and rushed to the four gates.
"Lord Wang, you won't go too, will you?" Seeing that Zhao Shuo didn't see the musket he brought back to the soldier, Gonggong Feng became worried.
"Don't worry!" Zhao Shuo raised the musket in his hand. "This thing is a long-range attack weapon, and it won't be dangerous."
"Lord Wang......" Fluttershy walked over to Zhao Shuo and grabbed his arm.
"Fluttershy, don't worry." Zhao Shuo said with a smile. "I went to kill the enemy this time, mainly to see the battle situation of each gate, which is also to be able to formulate a more reasonable strategy."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo walked out of the mansion. Grandpa Feng and Fluttershy glance at each other and follow.
Zhao Shuo's first stop was still the East Gate, because it was opposite to the base camp of the Qi army, and every time the Qi army harassed and attacked, the East Gate was the main attack direction of the Qi army.
But this time, Zhao Shuo guessed wrong. Although the shouts at the east gate shook the sky, Li Zhong's pressure was not great.
When Zhao Shuo arrived, Li Zhong was patrolling the city wall.
"Give me a lift, this is the enemy's disguise, they may launch a sneak attack at any time, and they all give me a bright spot."
"Lord Wang, why are you here?" Seeing Zhao Shuo, Li Zhong's serious face showed a smile, bowed slightly, and asked softly.
"The king is still not at ease here." Zhao Shuo looked around. "How is it, how crazy Qi Jun is this time."
"Lord Wang, this time!" Li Zhong followed behind Zhao Shuo and said with some doubts. "This time, they don't know which one to sing, at the beginning, the troops were still more than 500 people in a circular attack, but as soon as we used small shells, they all withdrew, and until now, they are not attacking."
Zhao Shuo frowned slightly, and then looked down the city wall. There are not many corpses of the Qi army under the city wall, and although there are soldiers patrolling the camp facing each other in the distance, the number does not seem to be large.
"Don't be careless, cheer up." Zhao Shuo said to Li Zhong. "It's fine that the east gate is fine, and this king will go to the other city gates to see there."
Zhao Shuo went to the north gate for the second stop, the north gate at the moment was not very peaceful, and Lin Feng's voice could be heard from a distance.
"Hit, hit me hard."
"Throw a small cannonball, let's go!"
"Don't run, everyone, the Qi army is about to be defeated."
"The musketeers, the general of the Qi army, hurry up and kill him for labor."
……
The fighting at the North Gate has not stopped, and it seems that this time, the Qi army really has a conspiracy.
Zhao Shuo came to the north gate city wall and had an idea.
"Lord Wang, why did you come here, it's very dangerous here, you better go back!" As soon as Zhao Shuo appeared, Lin Feng ran over, looking anxious.
"As far as they are, this king hasn't paid attention to them yet." Zhao Shuo glanced at the Qi army under the city that was constantly attacking the city, and then said to Lin Feng. "How's that, can you still handle it?"
"There are small shells and supporting musket teams, these Qi troops can only be sent to death." Lin Feng said.
Zhao Shuo fired two shots outside the city and killed the two captains. "You don't have a big official who is besieging the city, it's boring, it's boring, this king is going to Ximen to have a look."
Ximen had fallen into a sea of fire at this moment, and the soldiers commanded by Ling Yun kept throwing small cannonballs, and the rumbling explosions resounded through the sky. (To be continued.) )
