Chapter 136: The General Trend Has Been Set
It was almost dawn, but there was still no news of the military vehicle sent, although Pan Chong was very confident and had the chance to win, but he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, it was almost time to go to court, Pan Chong changed into his official uniform, but he still didn't go out, he was anxious to hear the news that the military vehicle brought back Zhong Wuregret first. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The east has gradually turned white, the sound of the troop wagons galloping horses is getting closer and closer, and in the hazy light, a troop cart shouted loudly to the city: "We are the soldiers of the Taishi, open the city gate quickly!" ”
One of the defenders of the city replied, "Whoever it is, wait at the bottom of the city, and it will not be long before the gates of the city will be opened when the rooster crows." ”
At that time, for the sake of safety, many countries did not open their city gates until the time when the rooster crowed. The allusion to the so-called rooster and dog thief that is often said in modern times comes from this regulation, but it was in the Warring States period.
Legend has it that Meng Weijun of the Qi State led the diners to the Qin State. King Qin Zhao left him behind and wanted him to be the prime minister. Meng Weijun didn't dare to offend King Qin Zhao, so he had to stay. Soon, the ministers of Qin persuaded the king of Qin that leaving Meng Weijun would be disadvantageous to his country. King Qin Zhao changed his mind and put Meng Weijun and his diners under house arrest, preparing to find an excuse to kill them.
Meng Weijun sent someone to ask for a concubine of King Qin Zhao to save him, and the concubine asked for a unique fox white fur in the world as a thanks, and one of Meng's diners pretended to be a dog and got into the Qin camp to steal the fox white fur.
King Qin Zhao released Meng Weijun. He fled to Hangu Pass overnight, and according to the regulations, the city gate should be opened when the rooster crowed, and some of his guests learned to crow the rooster, causing the roosters to crow all around, and the customs official opened the door and let him go. When the Qin people chased after him, Meng Weijun had already escaped from the customs.
However, in the spring and autumn period, opening the city gate when the rooster crows has become a common practice for many city defenses.
The military chariots under the city seemed to be a little impatient, and an archer shot a letter of arrows and shouted, "Hurry up and send it to the Taishi." ”
The soldiers of Pan's Mansion who were waiting at the head of the city picked up the silk book on the arrow branch and hurriedly sent it to Pan Chong.
Pan Chong looked at it, and there were only a few words on the silk book: "The big thing has been decided". When Pan Chong saw it, in the laughter, he rushed to the early court of the Chu Palace, and asked the soldiers of the palace to go and tell the soldiers of the chariot that when the city was opened, Zhong Wuregret would be sent to the Pan Mansion first, and when he returned, they would rush to the Zhong Mansion together.
The soldiers took the order and left.
When Pan Chong came to the main hall, he saw that the king of Chu was already sitting on the throne, and hundreds of courtiers were silent under His Royal Highness.
"Hahaha......" In the silence, Pan Chong's laughter was particularly arrogant. He walked up to the king of Chu empty-eyed and said, "Great king! It's too late for this minister to have something important, and it's not too late to listen to the king's announcement, right? ”
"It's late!" With the words of the King of Chu, the door of the palace was slammed shut.
"What do you mean, my lord?" Pan Chong's eyes shot a fierce light and asked viciously.
"Small meaning, small meaning!" Unexpectedly, Zhong Wuregret walked out from behind the king, and he looked at Pan Chong with a playful eye and said.
As soon as Pan Chong saw Zhong Wuregret, he knew that everything was over. But he still wanted to resist stubbornly, and shouted at the forbidden soldiers in the main hall: "Hurry up and take down this traitor for me!" ”
But in the main hall, except for Pan Chong's loud shouting, no one moved. Even none of his cronies stepped forward, and everyone didn't dare to say anything.
Pan Chong angrily rushed to a doctor who supported him the most on weekdays, slapped him, and said angrily: "I keep saying that for my Pan Chong, you don't hesitate to get into the oil pot and be burned, and dare to rush forward, you are the first, and now I will call you Chong." ”
Pan Chong punched and kicked the doctor, asking him to rush up and catch Zhong without regrets, but the doctor let Pan Chong beat and scolded, and he didn't say a word, even though his nose and the corners of his mouth were bleeding, he still didn't move.
"Have you had enough?" Zhong Wuregret looked at Pan Chong and said.
Pan Chong laughed and said to Zhong Wuregret: "Even if I die here, as long as I level your Zhong Mansion, I will be satisfied!" At this time, I'm afraid that your little wives are screaming under the crotch of my soldiers! With that, there was another burst of laughter.
"Your soldiers, I'm afraid they haven't rushed to the door of the Zhong Mansion yet, and they are waiting to greet you in the Ghost Mansion of the Netherworld. The master has done too much evil, and he doesn't know that there is also a prison in the underworld, right? The prison of hell is called hell! As soon as you go, there will be evil spirits with bull heads and horses, and they will show you the way.
There are eighteen layers of hell, and according to the merits of the Taishi's evil, it will be judged by the king of Hades, depending on whether they will lead you to the hell of pulling out the tongue, or the hell of scissors, or sending you to the hell of the knife mountain, the hell of the knife saw, etc., however, I recommend that you better go to the hell of the oil pot, after you go, strip your clothes naked, put it into the hot oil pan and fry it, and it will be fried.
According to your evil deeds, it is best to only fry it thirty times, and after it is fried, send it to the iceberg hell to cool it down, and then let the imp break your mouth, clamp your tongue with iron tongs, and pull it out raw, but not at once, but slowly elongate and slowly drag ......" Zhong Wuregret said coldly.
His description was too real and delicate, and he could only hear the cold air in the hearts of hundreds of ministers in the hall, and a little breeze in the hall blew everyone terrified.
As Zhong Wuregret said, Pan Chong's soldiers had not yet arrived at the gate of Zhong Mansion, and they were already waiting to be slaughtered.
This group of government soldiers is the team that once followed Pan Chong on the expedition, on the bloody battlefield, they have become numb to death, only bloodthirsty ferocity, Pan Chong kept them to deal with Zhong Fu, it can be seen that he is ready to use a cruel bloodbath to vent his hatred for Zhong Wuregret to the greatest extent.
As soon as the military chariot appeared, the soldiers of Pan Mansion immediately began to attack Zhong Mansion.
In the swarthy Zhong Mansion, a gong sounded, and a red light hung high on the flagpole. The outside of Zhong's Mansion suddenly brightened as day, and the copper lamps designed by Zhong Wuregret were all special lamps with one side opening, like searchlights that only illuminated the front. Under the bright lights, the soldiers of the Pan Mansion who attacked the Zhong Mansion were like live targets, falling under the dense arrows.
However, these Panfu soldiers did not stop attacking. Another gong sounded, and two red lights hung high on the flagpole. In the high wall of Zhongfu, a group of soldiers with throwing guns in their hands, rushed to the line close to the wall, and threw throwing guns outward, and the throwing guns happened to fall in the group of Panfu soldiers who rushed over, and a large number of government soldiers fell.
The gong sounded again, three red lights were hung on the flagpole, and a group of soldiers in Zhongfu held throwing guns in their hands, rushed to the second line a little farther away from the wall, and threw throwing guns out one after another.
It turned out that Zhong Wuregret had already made measurements, and the general soldiers threw the throwing spear from the first line within the wall, where the landing point was, and threw the throwing spear from the second line, and where the landing point was. In this way, not even a single figure of the opposing party was seen, from the bow and arrow shot to the spear piercing, and most of the attacking team was killed or wounded.
The rest of the government soldiers, although they have followed Pan Chong out to fight for many years, but where have they ever seen such a way of fighting, one-on-one fighting, they are likely to fight desperately, but this strange method of warfare makes them not know how to fight at all, and it is also the first time they have seen the power of throwing guns.
It turned out that when Zhong Wuregret had been thinking about how to deal with the attack in a dense formation, he thought of the Roman Empire in the era of cold weapons. Roman legions, dominated by hoplites armed with throwing spears and short swords, roamed the Mediterranean coast and Western Europe, conquering more than 5.9 million square kilometers of land and ruling over a population of 120 million. Among them, the power of the throwing gun should not be underestimated. According to the Romans, "they should be something that no armor or shield can resist".
The accuracy and power of the throwing gun should not be underestimated, and the tragic image of being pierced by the throwing gun caused a great psychological shock to the enemy.
Zhong Wuxian also followed the example of the Romans, replacing a rivet with a wooden nail that connected the handle and head of the throwing gun, which could easily be broken or unusable once the throwing gun fell to the ground or hit the target, so as to prevent the enemy from grabbing these weapons and throwing them back.
Zhong Wuregret designed the firepower level for Zhong Fu, relying on bows and arrows for long range, throwing guns for medium and short range, and then entering hand-to-hand combat.
In this way, when the soldiers of Panfu Mansion were about to rush to the gate of Zhongfu, the military vehicles that came from behind fired another fierce shot behind them. When the door of Zhongfu Mansion was opened, the soldiers of Panfu Mansion no longer had the fighting spirit, especially those who were pierced through the body by throwing guns, but not yet dead, holding bloody liver and intestines, and the heart-rending screams had made these elite soldiers of Panfu cold from head to toe, and the cramps that were not frightened were considered warriors.
"Drop your weapon and kneel down and hold your head, don't kill!" With the shouts of the soldiers rushing out of the Zhong Mansion, there were kneeling soldiers of the Pan Mansion everywhere.
In this way, the battle in front of the Zhongfu Gate ended.
At dawn, the military vehicles returning from outside the city went straight to Pan's mansion, and as soon as they entered Pan's mansion, the chief steward was cut down as soon as he stepped forward to inquire.
Pan Chong has been thinking about eliminating Zhong Wuregret to the greatest extent, and never thought that Pan's Mansion would be breached, so there were not many soldiers left, and the soldiers who rushed in by military vehicles quickly eliminated the soldiers of Pan's Mansion and firmly controlled Pan's Mansion.
All of this happened when Pan Chong was in the court, of course Pan Chong didn't know, he only knew that no matter what, his soldiers would cause a certain degree of damage to the Zhong Mansion, until a steward of the Pan Mansion came to the main hall, saw Pan Chong timidly, and told Pan Chong everything that Pan Chong knew that Pan Chong's face was like ashes and he stopped making a sound.
The king of Chu is now sitting on the throne, no longer as obscene as before, but not angry and powerful.
“…… Pan Chong plotted to kill the first king, and his sin is unforgivable, so take it down for me. It wasn't until he heard the words of King Chu that Pan Chong seemed to come to his senses.
He argued against the king of Chu: "The first king committed suicide, not me!" ”
"Do you still want to be cunning? The samurai who attacked with you in the first place is here. When Pan Chong looked at it, it turned out that Xiong Ke appeared with a group of guards.
"You, you......" Pan Chong took a fancy to one of the guards speechless.
"Yes, you killed the first king, and you were afraid that we would speak out later, so you sent someone to kill us, and I escaped to survive." One of the guards said.
"My sister's child who suffered so much died at your hands in the end, but he finally wanted to eat the bear's paws, and you didn't give him a chance, today we are looking for you to pay off the debt." Lady Juan Hua also appeared in the main hall.
"Madame!" Pan Chong screamed when he saw Mrs. Juanhua.
"Do you still have the face to call me Madame?" Mrs. Juan Hua said with tears in her eyes.
Pan Chong sighed, then straightened his chest and said loudly to everyone: "Today, I lost, completely lost!" I hate, I don't hate you, I only hate myself for having no eyes, and I haven't seen the true face of this adulterous thief until now. I have been immersed in government politics for decades, but I am not as good as this little prostitute. Zhong has no regrets, you should be the first person to push the conspiracy in this world. Yes, I killed the first king, and I did a lot of bad things, but you don't have a chance to ask me for debts. ”
After Pan Chong finished speaking, he took out a short knife and stabbed it at his heart. (To be continued.) )
