Chapter 709: Gunpowder Kamui

……

The huge explosion of the gunpowder pack shook and made people think that it was thunder on the ground.

The mighty stone lion at the gate of the palace was blown open and splashed out as rubble.

The thick walls of the palace were also shaken and a layer of wall soil fell off.

The soldiers in the front row of Zuo Wuwei all raised their giant shields, only to hear the giant shield being hit by the flying rubble, making a sharp sound of stones hitting metal.

In addition to the splashing stones, there was also the strong sound.

Everyone's hearts suddenly shook, and they felt the power of the powder bag strongly!

When the explosion was blown, everyone's ears were a little deaf for a while, and they rang loudly.

After a while, the ears were better, but everyone was still eerily quiet.

All were frightened by the power of the explosion of the gunpowder pack.

There was silence for a while, and someone screamed, followed by more screams.

These exclamations were from the palace.

The soldiers on Zuo Wuwei's side were all emphatically reminded before leaving, and they were veterans for many years, and they were very disciplined, so there was no panic at this time.

Cheng Lao's voice rang out again: "Open the door immediately, otherwise the explosive bag will be thrown into the house!" ”

His voice was loud enough that he could clearly reach the house from such a distance.

When the people inside heard this, they fell silent all of a sudden.

After a while, there was a commotion inside, and it seemed that someone was scared and wanted to open the door and come out. But after a few screams, the voices inside fell silent. This is a diehard, who kills the people who move the army. Now the morale of the army has been re-stabilized.

Cheng Lao looked at Li Chengqian and asked for his meaning.

This explosive pack is not something to throw away.

This is the royal palace. Cheng Lao can't blow up. Li Chengqian can call the shots.

There was already information coming over just now, and the prince's family in the palace had already escaped. There was only a squad of soldiers left inside, and if they resisted, the soldiers on Zuo Wuwei's side would be killed or wounded.

Li Chengqian did not want to see more casualties among innocent people.

So he nodded to Cheng Lao.

Cheng Lao Xiang smiled, and with a wave of his gloved hand, two more small trebuchets were pushed forward.

Three soldiers took the explosives bag and put it into the small trebuchet to place the projectile, and then the trebuchet buzzed, and the lighted powder bag flew into the palace.

Boom, boom!

Two explosions rang out from the palace, exclaiming. The screams rang out later.

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, his mouth slightly open.

Why did only two of the three explosive packs go off?

Cheng Lao was also puzzled, the two glanced at each other, and then looked at the explosives package soldiers.

This is a special explosives pack sent by the Gunpowder Bureau.

"Well, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, General, after the fuse of this powder bag is lit, it may fly in the air. It was blown out by the wind, so it couldn't blow up. The dynamite packer raised the dynamite pack, pointed to the exposed fuse, and said.

I see. This 30% no-noise rate is too high.

Fortunately, the first bag I put before was ringing, otherwise it would not have been a deterrent.

Cheng Lao Cargo waved his hand again. The explosives pack continued to be placed on, and the gunpowder fuse was ignited. The trebuchet threw it inside.

This time, all three explosive packets went off.

"Adjust the angle, and the intensity is different. Throw it in different places. Li Chengqian said to the trebuchet soldiers.

The trebuchet soldier smiled gloomily, and hurriedly followed Li Chengqian's meaning and adjusted the trebuchet.

Another round of explosives was thrown, and screams continued to be heard in the palace.

At this time, I am afraid that the people in the palace will regret that their intestines are green, and they will not surrender, isn't this looking for death?

Li Chengqian knew that he must have wanted to surrender very much now, but he couldn't let them surrender at this time.

This gunpowder artifact has come out, of course Li Chengqian can't end it like this, he wants to make this gunpowder a deterrent point for this clean-up activity, so that they don't dare to resist anymore.

The gunpowder bag went to the palace for five or six rounds in a row as if he didn't want money, and the crying father and mother kept shouting surrender, and Cheng Laowu raised his hand, and then asked them to throw the gunpowder bag towards the gate.

Three packets of explosives were thrown at the gate of the palace, and with a bang, the gate was blown open under the huge power of the explosives pack.

The power of the explosives pack not only blew the door in, but also the building of the gate.

The roof of the eaves collapsed to the ground, and for a while it became a mess and dust.

With a wave of Cheng Lao's hand, a team of thirty cavalry immediately rushed inside.

The horseshoe of the horse, stepping on the rubble of the ruins, as if stepping on the ground, is not afraid of masonry hurting the horse's hooves.

The first time they rushed in, they cut down the people who were standing in the front, and showed no mercy, to make room for Zuo Wuwei, who was about to come in behind.

After the cavalry rushed in, the infantry behind also rushed towards the gate of the mansion in a hurry, and the sound was caused by the friction of the iron pieces of armor on their bodies.

When they went in, they took all the living people alive.

Soon, all the people in the palace were arrested, and Cheng Lao followed Li Chengqian into it to count the number of people.

When I entered the inside, I saw that the front yard in the palace had been blown up to the point where it was not presentable, and the severed limbs made people feel sick.

Li Chengqian tried his best not to look at those things.

When we arrived at the reception hall, it was unaffected by the explosives pack and was intact.

Several other small gates of the palace had also been rushed in by the soldiers, and the situation was quickly controlled, and the entire palace fell into the hands of Li Chengqian.

A thin soldier in chain armor ran over and said to Li Chengqian, "Your Highness, the prince's family has been controlled. ”

This person is not Zuo Wuwei's person, he is the number 7 in the spy house.

The release of the prince's family was Li Chengqian's idea, and they wanted to run out, of course, it was impossible to bring too many soldiers. That way, just have people fence them up. The prince has a high status and is afraid of death. So, of course, it was easy to surrender.

Li Chengqian nodded, and then let Cheng Lao deal with it here, and he went to see the prince.

Seeing these more than 20 people, Li Chengqian's heart was depressed.

Their faces were pale, and the current prince did not dare to look directly at Li Chengqian. While the others looked at Li Chengqian's eyes in panic.

Li Chengqian knew what they thought of him.

He knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, so after reading it, he asked the soldiers below to lead them into the predetermined prison.

And he can go and give Lao Li an errand.

After the explosives bag exploded in the palace, there was a voice of opposition before. Now all of a sudden there is none.

This explosive package immediately became a kind of nuclear weapon in Chang'an, full of deterrent power.

On the same day, with the fall of the prince, a group of high-ranking officials were also arrested.

With so many big officials, if it was yesterday, it would definitely cause a big sensation in the early dynasty.

But today's morning, no one dared to stand up and mention it.

The ministers' hearts were all beating, and every time they heard that another high-ranking official had been arrested, their hearts jumped again.

It is also unknown if they will be the next to be caught. Now that Zuo Wuwei has gunpowder in his hand, who can hide.

In the evening, the news of another strong explosion came out.

Another prince has fallen from his horse.

At this time, Li Chengqian received another order. With soldiers, he surrounded the new prince's mansion.

The situation encountered here was the same as during the day, the gate of the palace was closed. Refusal to cooperate.

Soon came from the back door, and someone rushed out with the prince.

When Cheng Laoxiang was thinking about a strong attack, the people inside shouted to surrender.

Cheng Lao Xiang listened. His brow furrowed.

The door of the palace opened, and more than fifty people slowly walked out.

Cheng Lao waved his hand. Let them come forward and take them down.

But the man who came out to surrender suddenly drew a knife from his back and rushed over.

In addition to rushing out and killing Zuo Wuwei's men, several other groups of people rushed out to both sides.

That's what it looks like to run away.

But the people from the police dog station had been waiting here for a long time, the police dog was released, biting the people in front, Zuo Wuwei's soldiers surrounded them again, their escape plan fell through all of a sudden, some of them fell into Zuo Wuwei's hands, and some of them hurriedly fled into the palace.

The soldiers who came out to pretend to surrender were the most elite soldiers in the palace, and they were determined to run out desperately, even if Zuo Wuwei's people were prepared, they were hit hard by many soldiers at once.

At this time, looking at the screaming and moaning Zuo Wuwei soldiers on the ground, as well as the re-closed gate of the palace, Cheng Lao was furious!

"Trebuchet, explosives pack!" Cheng Lao roared!

There was a gurgling sound, and the trebuchet behind it was pushed to the front.

The explosive bag was placed on the trebuchet, and the fuse was lit, which was particularly bright in the night sky.

Buzz, the trebuchet threw the explosives bag in.

Boom Boom!

The flames of the explosion are especially noticeable at night!

After the two rounds of explosives were thrown in, Cheng Lao waved his hand, hit the door wood, and slammed into the gate of the palace.

Blowing up the gate of the prince's mansion during the day still has a bit of a negative impact.

So now you can't blow the door with a dynamite pack.

However, the door of this palace is not reinforced like the palace during the day.

They had just come out to surrender and open it once, but now the gate was just closed, and there was not much reinforcement behind it, and after being hit by the door wood a few times, the door slammed and fell.

The cavalry sorted, and the soldiers who had slammed the door hurriedly fled to the side.

The pace is fast, and the prince is controlled.

But Li Chengqian felt that the situation inside was different from that during the day.

Someone was crying.

Even in the palace during the day, there were people crying, but it was not like now.

After a while, someone came to report: "Report to Your Highness, the palace guards just faked surrender to escape here with the prince." After being forced in, he was unfortunately blown up and killed. ”

Li Chengqian came back to his senses, before the prince fled, I was afraid that it was a strategy to attract attention to that side, and then this side was guarded by ordinary palace guards, Cheng Lao could not stay here, and the prince followed the deserters out, which was the safest.

It's a pity that he was wrong.
