Chapter 374: Capturing the City (Second Update)

"Boom!"

A thunderbolt suddenly sounded in the narrow street, and in an instant, the sky collapsed!

"Boom!" Bang! ”

There were several more explosions, and the grenades thrown by Zhao Changshun and others also exploded under the feet of Zeng Lichang and his guards. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Some of the homemade grenades were so powerful that they knocked several nearby soldiers to the ground. Some only split in half, blowing up the nearby soldiers with blood all over their faces.

Hand grenade!

Zhao Ziyu is no stranger to it, he had seen it as early as when he was in Huangzhou - the man surnamed Zhu made this kind of grenade, it was very simple to make, the wooden pole and pig iron head were filled with gunpowder, and they were lit with a fuse rope. The grenade containing four taels of gunpowder was extremely powerful, and dozens of grenades were thrown in an instant.

The defense line that had just been hastily organized immediately collapsed again, and Zeng Lichang and the personal guards around him were mostly lying on the ground, all with a blurred appearance of flesh and blood!

"Boom!"

Although the black powder in the grenade is only four taels, and it is homemade black powder, its explosive power is still extremely impressive, when the grenade explodes, pig iron fragments fly sideways on the street, cutting the fragile flesh around.

The thunderous explosions rang out like firecrackers, and those Shaanxi Yong who had infiltrated the city threw grenades that lit the fuses into the Taiping army's defense line from time to time, blowing their opponents to pieces.

The musketeers, who had managed to organize a defensive line and lined up with foreign guns, stood in line for fear of secrecy, were at least half overturned in an instant by the explosion of the grenades. Those who were a little further away from the explosion point were dizzy and didn't know how to aim and shoot!

"Fried! Throw all the grenades! ”

Zhao Ziyu shouted loudly, at this time, the entire old city of Tongguan was full of shouts and killings, and in the shouting of killing, grenades were thrown on the defenders' bodies, only to blow them up and flee in all directions like their souls.

"King Yu is dead, King Yu is dead!"

At this moment, I don't know who shouted.

King Yu is dead!

Before the rest of the Taiping army could react to the news, the grenade was thrown at them again.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

The moment the grenade landed, there was a series of loud noises, gunpowder smoke and fragments flew sideways in the crowd, only to blow up those Taiping troops in a daze, and the news of King Yu's death made them have no intention of resisting.

"Kill the longhair!"

Zhao Ziyu, who had taken advantage of the long wind, immediately led his cronies into the battlefield......

The defenders only had more than 2,000 Tongguan, and under the onslaught of 5,000 Shaanxi Yong led by Zhao Ziyu, they could not hold even an hour, especially after the news of the death of King Yu spread, the Taiping army in the city fled to Henan or Shaanxi.

But just an hour later, this seemingly impregnable Tongguan was taken away by Zhao Ziyu, and even he couldn't believe it.

"Take Tongguan!"

Muttering, Zhao Ziyu couldn't speak for a long time, the street was full of stumps and broken arms, among which there were both Shaanxi Yong and Taiping Army, but more were the people in the city.

"Congratulations to your Excellency for your great contribution to the imperial court!"

In the respectful voices of others, Zhao Ziyu's expression seemed a little trance-like, until now he didn't know how he won it, and he didn't even know why he had to attack the city with these soldiers - in fact, in his subconscious, he preferred that he could die in Tongguan!

In that case, everything would no longer be a problem, and he would no longer have to explain everything to others, but for now...... Now he led his troops to capture Tongguan, cut off the retreat of tens of thousands of Taiping troops, and blocked them in Shaanxi.

even killed a puppet king of the Taiping Army.

The severed head was covered with blood, if it was a few years ago, maybe Zhao Ziyu would have been frightened by this bloodstained head, but now, he looked at this head, this is the head of the puppet king Zeng Lichang, for the imperial court, this is a big victory that has not been heard of for several years!

This head alone can make everyone rank higher!

“…… More than 10,000 foreign guns, more than 100 foreign cannons, more than 1,000 barrels of foreign medicines, and countless grains and grasses were seized......"

In the face of the report of his subordinates, Zhao Ziyu, who did not seem to have recovered from the impact of the war, did not listen to what he was saying, and it was normal that there would be a large number of seizures in Tongguan -- the materials of the long-haired prisoners were all transferred here, and a large number of materials were naturally stored in the city.

Now what?

Thinking of this, Zhao Ziyu asked in a suppressed voice.

"Master Zhang, what should I do next?"

Looking at Zhang Zipeng, Zhao Ziyu looked at him a little nervously, in fact, she never thought that she would survive. Now not only survived, but also captured Tongguan, then, what should I do next?

"Build the city wall and guard the Tong Pass!"

Faced with his brother-in-law's question, Zhang Zipeng just spit out six words slowly.

"As for Guanzhong, when Changmao knows the news, he will defeat himself, and adults don't need to worry......"

King Yu is dead!

But just one day, Tongguan for the Qing demon to conquer, the news of the death of King Yu will spread to the Taiping Army in Shaanxi just entered the camp of the Western Expeditionary Army, the entire camp suddenly became a mess, in the face of this sudden news, the generals are even more disputed.

In the contention of everyone, Huang Yiyun, who was sitting in the first seat, coughed lightly, as Zeng Lichang's right-hand man, at the beginning of the year, he had just been crowned King Luo, and now he is naturally the backbone of the Western Expeditionary Army.

“…… Now the king of Yu is killed by the Qing demon, this king must consider tens of thousands of soldiers for the western expeditionary army, now, Tongguan has fallen, the back road of my western expeditionary army has been broken, naturally can not attack Xi'an, so, this king decided to turn back, along the original road to the east, and then attack Tongguan, return to Henan, after returning to Henan, and then make a plan......"

In fact, now Huang Yiyun is the same as others, he is also in a trance, his palace is in Kaifeng, just like these people who are here, their families are also in Kaifeng, although the main force of the army is still in Henan, but now there is no real backbone in Kaifeng, what if the Qing demon fights over and takes Kaifeng, what will happen then?

"Lord Wang, Tongguan can be said to be the first Xiongguan in the world, and it must not be attacked again......"

Huang Yiyun's words fell, and Liang Zuoshan hurriedly spoke out against it, and now he has not been able to adapt to the reality that Zeng Lichang has died.

"No more attacks?"

Liang Zuoshan's opposition made Huang Yiyun sneer.

"Last time, my heavenly soldiers were able to capture Tongguan, why can't I attack it this time! Your surname Liang really thinks you are something! ”

His training only made Liang Zuoshan, who had won Zeng Lichang's trust for many years, change his face, and there have always been many people who oppose Zeng Lichang's reuse of Liang Zuoshan, who is not from Liangguang, and Huang Yiyun is one of them.

Even in Huang Yiyun's opinion, if it weren't for Liang Zuoshan's branches, I'm afraid that the Jingshi would have been conquered by them by now, and as for the Qing Demon, it would have been destroyed by it, and the world would have been the world of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. And why did it appear today?

"Unattackable! Do you want tens of thousands of soldiers of my Western Expeditionary Army to die, and Shaanxi will not succeed! ”

Such a naked rebuke only made Liang Zuoshan's face red for a while and white for a while, and he opened his mouth to defend himself, but he couldn't speak.

"The prince, the prince, the minister, the minister is for the ......"

Before he finished speaking, seeing the ridicule on Huang Yiyun's face, Liang Zuoshan, who knew that he had always been dissatisfied with himself, could only sigh in his heart, and then chose to be silent.

The most important thing now is to protect yourself, not to hit yourself with the muzzle!

Now what?

When Huang Yiyun was deploying the matter of capturing Tongguan, Liang Zuoshan thought about it repeatedly in his heart. He noticed that people like Li Tianyang, Wang Peicheng and others in the tent were not calm, and they were vaguely dissatisfied between their eyebrows. The reason why they were dissatisfied couldn't be simpler because Huang Yiyun ordered them to feint to attack Tongguan and cover the camp to dig tunnels. In other words, let them be cannon fodder to attract the demons in the city.

"It's all Henan people......"

But just in an instant, Liang Zuoshan realized that for two years, he had been hiding in the internal troubles of the Taiping Army in Henan, and after the death of King Yu, no one stopped him!

In the past, under his own proposal, King Yu ignored the dissatisfaction of the Cantonese people, and appointed a group of generals from the twist, most of them were from Henan, although the position was not high and the power was not heavy, but after all, most of the Taiping troops on the North Road were from Henan, but unlike the King of Yu, they could be fair to them, such as Huang Yiyun and others looked down on them at all.

It's no secret.

"His grandmother's is now simply using us as cannon fodder!"

As soon as he entered the account, Wang Peicheng scolded loudly,

"We are cannon fodder, you see that Master Liang let the surnamed Huang scold, if there was no Master Liang, how could they have ...... today"

Li Tianyang looked at a few people around him and said, he is much more shrewd than with these people.

"But no, now the surnamed Huang is clearly going to get along with us, even if we fight hard to win Tongguan, I'm afraid that when we return to Henan, we won't necessarily have it, let's eat good fruit."

"It's not those old Guang in the past, few of them treat us as people, it's all because Master Liang speaks for us at the prince's place, so that we won't be excluded and have no land, but now, even Master Liang himself can't keep it, big guy, let's talk about it, what are we going to do now?"

What's the matter?

Everyone's brows were furrowed, they knew very well that those old Guang would never keep them after they became home, and now life and death were just a thought.

"Either we, let's ......"

Without waiting for Wang Peicheng to finish speaking, Li Tianyang immediately said.

"Don't think about what to do first, this snake can't be made without a head, in my opinion, it's better for us to invite Master Liang over, Master Liang has a lot of ideas, and he is also from Henan, so he naturally won't treat us badly? What do the big guys think? ”

In the case that everyone has no idea, Li Tianyang's suggestion naturally no one will object, and in the past few years, they have indeed received a lot of benefits from Liang Zuoshan...... (To be continued.) )
