Chapter 0553. Skull City, God eats people
Although the city wall was not broken, the power of the firearms was not covered, under the attack of the flowering bombs, the city wall was full of collapsed pits for several hundred meters, the women's wall was peeled off in large areas, the towering arrow tower and the enemy tower collapsed by more than half, and in some places there was a thick fire of war, and the original bed crossbow was gone.

But when people go up, it's gone!
At least 6,000 people, after rushing up, it was as if they had been swallowed by a big mouth, and after cleaning up the cannon fodder, the front-end artillery was stunned there first, then the crossbowmen, and then the 50,000 troops in Xicheng, even Li Jie grew his mouth, and the strange silence lasted for a while, and Wang Fangyi, the former enemy commander who couldn't hold back, waved his hand and ordered.
"The guards of the left prison broke the captivity regiment and the Tempest Brigade came out to find out the enemy's situation!"
It must be the elite troops who can have a number, but this situation is too strange, a hundred Tang troops carrying steel crossbows and bayonets carefully lined up in front of the formation, probed their brains at the towering city wall for a while, and then climbed the ladder left by the 50,000 army under the gaze of the god of the fifty thousand army and climbed up the cloud ladder left by the people who had just been covered by Lou Qi and climbed up the city wall.
But before the commander of the Hurricane Brigade bit the steel knife and climbed up, there was a sudden loud bang at the city gate, which frightened the sergeant of the Tempest Brigade on the ladder and fell off the ladder like a dumpling, especially the captain, his ass was lame, and he limped but ran at the front of the team, it's not that they are not brave, in case the enemy army plotted tens of thousands of horses to kill from the city gate, you rushed up to die?
Then it's not called bravery, but stupidity.
The startled Tang army was also in full array, the gunner once again burned the steel drill red, and the crossbowman aimed at the city gate and lowered the steel crossbow, everyone watched, and the west gate of Qunu City also lived up to expectations and was pushed open with a creak, but what rushed out from it was not the chaotic army, but the captives of the Chalou people who had just disappeared, and they rushed out one by one with long arms and carnival like winning millions of lottery tickets.
"We have taken the gate of Qunu City! Give us back our freedom! ”
"Land, we want land!"
What's going on?
Fortunately, the Tang army did not forget its duty, and thousands of vanguard troops took the lead in entering the city, occupying the commanding heights of the city tower, and then selected more than a dozen representatives from the Lou who broke into the city to send to the imperial front.
"The supreme King of Min, we have taken down the city wall according to your orders, please grant us freedom and land according to the agreement!"
Seeing Li Jie, these people were still afraid that the Min Kingdom would not talk the same and kowtow, so Wang Fangyi was irritable when he heard it, and directly pointed at their noses and asked: "Ben will ask you, what was on the city wall just now, how did you attack the city?" ”
"There was no ghost shadow on the city wall, and when they entered the city and saw a huge stone blocking the city gate, the little ones beckoned the brothers to move away the stone and welcome the king into the city."
In the end, under the whip of the Tang army to repair the city wall, it has been edified for a long time, and a few people who have covered it will be a little sycophant, but unfortunately Li Jie and others are not in the mood to laugh at this time, and no enemy was found on the city wall, so where did the tens of thousands of rebels go?
"Back to the King of Fujian, Dongcheng came to report, successfully took the city wall, and no enemy was found."
"The messenger sent by General Xue of Nancheng has already occupied the city gate and has not found the enemy."
"General Dugu of Beicheng led his army to break into the city and found no enemy."
One messenger after another brought the latest news, and couldn't help but make Li Jie pinch his chin, and immediately thought of the underground labyrinth he had been to, Sanjia Blue Temple, but then Li Jie denied this idea, not to mention that there were thousands of light cavalry in the vicinity, if only 300,000 people escaped from here, it would be absolutely impossible for him not to know, seeing that many generals were watching him, thinking for a moment, Li Jie simply waved his hand back: "Order all departments to enter the city, don't rush in, prepare for street fighting!" ”
"Hey!"
The sun was rising higher and higher, and considering the cruelty of the street fighting, the Tang army first sent out lunch, and then ordered the army to split up and assault.
In the past, Qunu City was a big city that could accommodate 800,000 people, although the outer part of the city was almost destroyed, and the original streets and alleys were large enough, and the Tang troops from all walks of life carefully entered the city in batches, first advancing along the main street, and then penetrating like alleys after occupying the main road.
Stepping into this old capital, which had been lost for more than a year, Li Jie's first feeling was desolation.
The extreme desolation, once the Japanese Dynasty for decades, the efforts of the Min Dynasty for several years are now all in ruins, the landmark buildings, the three Jialan Pagoda that hides the Buddha's relics are broken at the waist, the towering pavilions and pavilions are all collapsed horizontally, and some places are burned into a piece of ash, on the street, the original bluestone road has also grown weeds, under the weeds, densely packed with white bones.
It's a dead city.
Following next to Li Jie, he inadvertently kicked out a skeleton, Wang Fangyi picked it up casually, his face changed immediately, and he took it and went to Li Jie and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, look, this ......"
The skull has long been devoid of flesh and blood, but the dry bones have shown Dao scratches, which obviously cannot be caused by natural decay, and the bones of this kind of scar, Li Jie and the generals of the Shuo Wang Army who followed him before have seen it, and they are not unfamiliar.
In the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, the Tang army besieged the city of Anshi for more than half a year, the defenders were hungry and crazy, and more than 100,000 people in the city were eaten, when the Tang army broke the city, the bones were all over the place, the heads were scattered in the wild, densely covered with dry bones, it was this kind of scar, this is the traces left by the knife to remove the flesh on the bones, this one skull is still completely preserved, at a glance, the skull hidden under the yellow and green weeds and opened the scoop does not know how many.
Li Jie's stomach began to cramp, even if he saw it, it didn't mean that he could accept this kind of behavior, as for the eldest grandson Zhi and Xiao Man'er, their faces were also pale, seeing the dry bones on the ground, Li Rang had already hid behind Xue Zhiguan, who made him feel safe, although his face was ugly, Li Jin always followed his father.
In the huge urban area, the Tang army advanced for half an hour, only then did it meet the enemy, the jackpot was actually Li Jie himself won, the cavalry galloping not far from the third street was suddenly attacked by a rain of arrows in the ruins on the side of the road, and more than ten people fell down a scout team, listening to the screams of the dead and wounded, the nearby Tang army immediately surrounded it.
"Shoot!"
Half-squatting in three rows, a large number of crossbowmen who were far away came to shoot a volley at the rebels who were like savages in their cloaks, and the dozen or so people behind were shot into a sieve together with the dead bodies, but the front twenty dragged the corpse of the Tang Army and quickly hid in the ruins of the temple that they didn't know, seeing this scene, the captain of the command roared with a bad saber, and dozens of jumping soldiers immediately threw the crossbow and chased after them with shields, horizontal knives or three-edged thorns.
Puff, puff~
The iron spear slammed out of the ruins, and the four Tang soldiers in the rear screamed and fell to the ground with spears behind their backs, which was actually somewhat similar to the underground arsenal of the Fujian State in Beijing, and was fortified, and the Tang army in front turned around angrily, and the bow sounded behind him, and the Tianzhu long arrow more than one meter long pierced through the body.
"Despicable!"
As soon as the battle began, more than 20 elites were lost, and the captain's eyes were red, but he didn't wait for him to give the order to continue the attack, and a few more lieutenants and guerrilla generals came from behind.
The huge city was empty, and the first discovery of the enemy was not found, and it immediately attracted a large number of Tang troops, and the command was constantly handed over, but the attack was slowed down, and when Li Jie came, several tentative attacks on the Tang army actually damaged the whites, and the ruins of this temple stretched all the way to Third Street, and I don't know how many rebels were ambushed here, and the intricate ruins were full of murderous machines.
Rushing here with a gloomy face, Li Jie directly gave an order: "Adjust the artillery, blast out here!"
Although it is almost half lighter than the more than 1,000 catties of old-fashioned copper cannons, the more than 600 catties of Furlong cannons are still bulky, and more than a dozen people shouted and shouted before pushing the gun cart out of the ruins.
It seems that the tiger squat cannon in the late Ming Dynasty is very good, this thing is very suitable for sports combat! Similar to mortars.
Of course, this is still a later story, at present, killing the enemy is the key, after all, the cannon is a cannon, ten cannons aimed at the troublesome and complex ruins and opened fire, a large area of ruins immediately bloomed under the gushing loud sound, the ruins and broken walls broke again, and the Tianzhu rebels hidden in the flesh and blood flew sideways, and after the nine guns were finished, the ruins in front were stunned and one layer shorter.
"Rush!" The Tang army, which had been aggrieved for a long time, rushed forward with a roar of war knives and three-edged thorns, without protection, and was frightened by the artillery fire, hundreds of rebels Tianzhu people ran backwards in horror and screamed, and in the blink of an eye, the vanguard of the Tang army rushed out a few hundred meters and occupied the main hall of the temple, but when they got there, all the Tang troops regretted that they had eaten lunch too early.
The three-headed and six-armed statue of Shiva is still standing there so mighty and hideous, the lower body of the entire statue has been splashed red, and the bottom is like hell, the corpses of more than 30 Tang soldiers who have just been killed, the corpses of horses have all been disemboweled, and the pieces of meat like livestock are placed there one by one.
Looking at the half-cut heads, dozens of Tang Jun directly spit out......
After a pillar of incense, Li Jie was late, taking advantage of this time, to endure the nausea, the Tang army had already gathered the unbearable things to endure the nausea and burned them together, and the whole hall was still filled with a strange smell.
I originally wanted to lead Li to let Li Jin wait in the rear, but I didn't want Li Jie to force his two sons to follow, but as a last resort, the two mothers also had to follow, although they didn't see the tragic scene, but looking at the cannibalistic colossus of Lord Shiva, the two children were still trembling with fright.
"This is the enemy that Lone has to face, can you provoke the future of Fujian?" Pointing to the bloody statue, Li Jie Angsheng asked.
To Xue Zhiguan's disappointment, the eldest son Li Rang didn't dare to leave behind him at all, but Li Jin pretended to have the courage to come to Li Jie's side.
"Father rest assured, my son will follow in his father's footsteps and protect thousands of Fujian people like Aunt Xiang Luzhu, Xiao Zhaozi, Xiao Lizi, and the old man who sells chestnuts at the door......"
Without waiting for Li Jin to finish speaking, there was a sudden roar behind the statue of Leng Buding, which frightened Li Jin and shrank behind Li Jie, Yang Xinyi also rushed over, pulled out his weapon and guarded the front, hundreds of steel crossbows were nervously erected, aimed at the statue, even Xue Zhiguan was so surprised by this accident that he drew his long sword, and after a while, dozens of ragged Tianzhu people came out behind the statue, and knelt straight in front of the Tang army.
"Help!".
