Chapter 83: Attack on Chang'an
Liang Xingfa looked at the eager eyes of Guo Ziyi and the others, but he was not in a hurry to say his method, but asked them if they were sure that they would win if they faced An Qingxu's rebels head-to-head on the battlefield?
Guo Ziyi said: "That can't either. The rebels are all nomads from the north, skilled in horsemanship and fierce in combat. That Li Guiren led a large army to resist our army in Xiqingqu, Chang'an, and the two sides fought for seven days and seven nights, but our army still could not move forward. Later, An Shouzhong and Li Guiren pretended to be defeated and fled. Our army went to pursue, but who knew that they actually set up a long snake formation, and the head and tail suddenly changed into two wings, flanking our army, causing our army to be defeated. ”
Liang Xingfa said to Guo Ziyi: "In this way, it seems that it is a problem of combat effectiveness. We must increase the combat effectiveness of our soldiers, and it is better to be able to fight ten of them at a time, so that it is difficult to defeat them. ”
Guo Ziyi said to Liang Xingfa: "Ghosts know the benefits of enhancing combat effectiveness. But how to enhance it, they are all ordinary people, how can they improve in a short period of time. ”
Liang Xingfa said: "Then we can only start with weapons, and we must let them have more advanced weapons than the rebels." ”
Guo Ziyi said: "Now our army and the rebels are using the most advanced weapons. Both sides had similar ranges for bows and cannons. ”
Liang Xingfa said: "In fact, the range of our cannons can be longer and more convenient to carry. Have you ever heard of the Franc machine? ”
Guo Ziyi shook her head in confusion. Liang Xingfa said: "I don't blame you, because it will be a few hundred years before this thing is made." ”
Guo Ziyi and the other generals all looked at Liang Xingfa in shock, and couldn't believe that he would know what would happen hundreds of years later.
Liang Xingfa hurriedly said to them: "I mean you will also make this kind of thing, maybe it will be used on a large scale in a few hundred years." ”
Everyone still wants to hear what Liang Xingfa said about the Franc machine. So, Liang Xingfa told them the principle of making the Franc machine. They didn't think it was complicated, so they tried to build one and see what the difference was.
After days and nights of work, under the expectation of the public, the craftsmen finally built the first Franc machine of the Tang Dynasty, which was much smaller than the usual cannon and could be transported by a very simple wooden cart.
The Franc machine officially fired, and with the sound of "boom", all the people watching were in a carnival, because this kind of cannon not only had a super long range, but also had a huge power, which was not comparable to the cannon they were using now.
Guo Ziyi, Fugu Huaien and others said excitedly that with this kind of weapon, why worry about not being able to open the city gate of Chang'an.
As a result, the whole army began to manufacture this kind of Franc machine on a large scale. In order to create a surprise for An Qingxu that fell from the sky, Liang Xingfa also deliberately made several hot air balloons.
On the side of Chang'an City, An Qingxu and Li Wanyue spend all day shopping, looking like the sky is falling down as a quilt cover. That's because his spies reported to him that Guo Ziyi was making gunpowder all day long and didn't train soldiers, so he seemed to have no intention of fighting. So An Qingxu is carefree and enjoys life to the fullest.
Two days later, Guo Ziyi ordered the army to assemble outside Chang'an and aimed dozens of Franc machines at the city gate. Just wait for the order, and there will be a loud burst of cannons.
The rebels on the upper floor of Chang'an City couldn't help laughing when they saw Guo Ziyi putting the cannon so far away, and the cannon body was still so small, and they also commented that Guo Ziyi's prestige was blown out of money, and in fact, there was a lot of water.
What happened next was a sea of fire with no water at all. The Franc machine opened fire, the city gates collapsed, and the soldiers were burned to ashes by the exploding ammunition, and the wails were incessant. Then the Tang army attacked Chang'an City bloodlessly.
Liang Xingfa and the Songshan Seven Monsters flew directly to An Qingxu's Chinese military tent in a hot air balloon and fought with their guards.
The Tigerhead slashed with a large plate axe, slashing several armored rebel soldiers into headless corpses.
The chicken-headed monster also slashed at the rebel soldiers who surrounded him.
The sheep-headed monster flew around the rebels.
The rat-headed monster used his secret weapon to wipe out the rebel soldiers in silence.
The pig-headed monster fights and flees, and if there are rebel soldiers who dare to catch up, they will be tragically defeated by his return rifle.
The snake head monster is a little weaker, and instead of fighting with others, it fights a sneak attack, and when he sees which monster hits well, he will follow him.
The kobold simply became the queen of the palace, responsible for checking whether the soldiers who fell to the ground were dead, and if he happened to meet someone who was not dead, then he would let the soldiers who were still breathing die no longer dead.
Liang Xingfa rushed directly into An Qingxu's tent, making An Qingxu, who was holding a wine glass, stunned. Also stunned was Li Wanyue, who was sitting next to her reading a book.
Liang Xingfa said to Li Wanyu: "Little junior sister, you are really here." You'd better hurry up and go back, the master thinks you're going crazy. ”
An Qingxu slapped the table and yelled at Liang Xing: "What kind of thing are you, you dare to call Wanyue sister a little junior sister, and you call it so intimate." Come on, pull him out and cut him down. ”
In fact, no one came in. Guo Ziyi's army has already entered Chang'an City, and it is fighting fiercely with the army of An Shouzhong and Li Guiren, who has time to take care of An Qingxu, the king of Jin.
An Qingxu's heart was extremely frightened, because he knew that if he was alone, he would definitely die in front of Liang Xingfa. At this time, Li Wanyue asked An Qingxu not to be so irritable, the world is very beautiful, but it is too bad to kill people at every turn.
Then An Qingxu simply gave himself a step down and said to Liang Xingfa: "Since Sister Wanyue told me not to kill you, if I still want to kill you, it will be too much to give Sister Wanyue face." Therefore I will not kill you. You'd better get out of here. If you can pick up a life, cherish it, just eat and sleep well, and don't learn from others to come out and make trouble. ”
Li Wanyue also asked Liang Xingfa: "Look at you in a military uniform, when did you join the army?" ”
Liang Xingfa said to Li Wanyu: "Little junior sister, you don't know anything. This An Qingxu is a terrible guy. Your mother and I knew that you must have come to find this brute, but who knew that this brute had laid a heavy army at the city gate to kill me and your mother. Thankfully, we were able to escape quickly and not let this villain get his way. I can only join the military to break in and see you. He's so vicious to your mother, you should have killed him. ”
An Qingxu yelled at Liang Xing: "I should have killed you." You are a brute, you actually fabricated facts to slander me, do you think Wanyue sister is so easy to deceive, if it weren't for Wanyuemei's face, I would have killed you a long time ago. ”
Liang Xingfa pointed his sword at An Qingxu and said, "If you want to kill me, come here." As a result, An Qingxu was indifferent, and his heart was already shaking.
Liang Xingfa said to Li Wanyu: "If you don't believe me, let's go up the mountain together to find your mother and ask if it's okay." ”
An Qingxu asked Li Wan not to send it to Liang Xing, and said that this was a trap issued by Liang Xing, and it must be a meat bun beating a dog, and he would never go back.
Li Wan, who lacks experience in the rivers and lakes, asked to look at An Qingxu for a while, and Liang Xingfa for a while, but she didn't know who to believe, and she couldn't make up her mind.
Liang Xingfa stared at An Qingxu viciously and said, "If you want to kill me, why don't I want to kill you." Let's put an end to the old and new hatreds today. After speaking, he raised his sword and attacked An Qingxu.
An Qingxu hurriedly raised his sword to fight back. After a few rounds of fighting, An Qingxu gradually lost the upper hand, and if he fought again, Liang Xingfa's sword was about to pierce his throat, so frightened that he hurriedly asked Li Wanyue for help. Then Li Wanyue felt that An Qingxu's relationship with her was better, so she was reluctant to let him die, and immediately attacked Liang Xingfa with her sword. The three swords fought together, and it was indeed difficult to solve for a while.
Liang Xingfa shouted, and shook them aside with enough internal strength, he could have immediately taken advantage of the victory to chase them and send them all to the king of Hades, but he didn't do that, not because he didn't want to, but because he was afraid that Li Wanyue would be affected, this little junior sister looked so cute, it would be a pity to get hurt.
Liang Xingfa yelled at Li Wanyu: "Little junior sister." Can't you just be a little more sober? An Qingxu is the leader of the rebels. They killed all the way from Fanyang, and I don't know how many people were killed. If you help her, you're helping her to abuse. You're dishonoring your mother. Don't you have a little compassion when you think about those homeless children, staring helplessly at the world with hungry eyes? ”
An Qingxu saw that Li Wanyue was shaken, and hurriedly said to Li Wanyue: "These are all Liang Xingfa's lies. You'll know if you've lived here. Where are the people of Chang'an City suffering, they don't know how much they live and work in peace and contentment. ”
Li Wanyue thought about it, as if the people were indeed not as bitter as Liang Xingfa said. Liang Xingfa told Li Wanyue that these were all illusions, and it would be clear if he went to the grassroots level to ask in person.
