Chapter 161: Boom

Zhao Ji originally wanted to show his wisdom and martial arts, but he didn't expect to usher in such a welcome in the middle of the road, if it weren't for the guards of the Imperial Forest Army on both sides of the road, Zhao Ji felt that those angry people would definitely rush up and beat the courtiers he liked.

After Liang Shan refused to recruit an and threw out the conditions for killing the nine thieves, the saying of the "nine thieves" spread all over the world.

In the past, Zhao Ji felt that the statement of the nine thieves was unreliable, and there may be a few people who are in trouble among his important ministers, but not all of them are traitors.

Seeing the resentful faces of the people on both sides of the road, Zhao Ji was a little convinced.

If these people he favored had a loyal minister, he would never let the thieves come down to the city of Tokyo.

Cai You led the troops to exterminate Wang Qing, and Gao Yu led the troops to exterminate Liangshan, but they all ended in vain, but when they came back, they prevaricated him for various reasons.

Tian Hu and Fang La's rebellion hid it from him, and it wasn't until it made a big fuss that it was played.

Wang Hao, Cai You and other traitors followed behind the carriage where Zhao Ji was sitting, and they didn't know what Zhao Ji thought, but they were just angry with these people.

If it weren't for the emperor in front, they would have ordered the dispersal of these damned grass people.

The monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty each thought about the people to "send off" to the outer city.

He Guan, who was in charge of defending the city, also led people to greet him under the city wall.

Wang Hao and Cai You also dismounted first and rushed up to serve the emperor.

Zhao Ji got out of the carriage, glanced at a few flattering ministers, and said with a calm face: "If the price of rice is still high within a day, you don't have to govern, all go to the city wall to kill thieves." ”

With that, he walked to the city wall.

Shaozai Wang Hao hurriedly complained: "The people in the city are afraid that the Liangshan thieves have been surrounding the city and will not retreat. As long as the imperial court puts grain, they will snap it up. If you don't repel the Liangshan bandits, there is nothing the ministers can do. ”

Zhao Ji snorted coldly and said, "The only way to repel the Liangshan thieves is to defeat them." The price of food can be lowered, so you should go to the city to kill the thieves, and it is useless for you to be in the city. ”

Cai You saw that Wang Hao was still going to speak, so he hurriedly grabbed Wang Hao, glanced at the emperor who was striding forward, and said in a low voice: "The official family is angry, and the imperial court has already put 500,000 stone grain at a low price. Do those grain merchants want the imperial court to sell all the official grain to them at a low price? ”

Wang Hao was also afraid of losing his favor. He looked at the traitors and said, "It's time to knock on those grain merchants." ”

Cai Jing is old and rarely goes to court. Most of the political affairs of the DPRK and China have been handled by Wang Huang.

The traitorous ministers watched Wang Hao's speech, and they also knew that the embezzlement of official food had ended here.

Zhao Ji went up to the city under the escort of the golden gun squad and the silver gun squad, and saw the black Liangshan thieves outside and the warships stretching for miles on the Wuzhang River, and said to He Guan with a little shock: "How are the preparations for defending the city?" ”

He Guan said with great confidence: "The minister has been deployed. The thieves are another 100,000. Nor could they storm the walls. ”

Zhao Ji saw that He Guan was so confident, and he was also a lot relieved, and after a few words of encouragement, he stood on the city wall and looked out.

The soldiers and horses of Liangshan stopped more than two miles away, and from the city wall more than ten zhang high, they looked like ants.

Just as he was looking, the soldiers and horses of Liangshan outside the city suddenly put up their cannons.

"Boom"

"Boom"

"Boom"

Hearing the sound of cannons, Wang Hao immediately said, "The thieves are going to attack the city." The official family is the world, and the official family is invited to drive back to the palace. ”

Zhao Ji saw that the thief was still more than two miles away. I didn't want people to run away from the wind, so I turned around and walked forward with a calm face, and said, "Let's go down to the city from the front." ”

The ministers didn't think that the Liangshan thieves could fly over at once, not to mention that there was a moat more than ten zhang wide below, so they also followed Zhao Ji and walked forward unhurriedly.

After walking a short distance, I felt that the ground shook and the earth shook, and in the loud noise, the earth and rocks splashed.

"Boom"

"Boom"

Zhao Ji and his party were instantly knocked to the ground, and the loud noise close at hand made everyone's ears hurt sharply, and their eyes were full of stars.

The unlucky ones were even hit by the flying earth and rocks, and their heads were broken and bleeding.

The soldiers and horses of Liangshan stopped more than two miles away, and they were all startled by the loud noise under the city wall.

The city walls, which were more than ten zhang high and five zhang and nine feet wide, shook and twisted in the loud noise, and the city walls on both sides of the water gate collapsed several zhang, and a gap appeared.

Shi Jin saw that he had successfully blown up the water gate, calmed the frightened war horse under his crotch, and shouted: "Siege the city, the first one to attack the palace, the official will be promoted to the third level, the bounty will be 10,000 taels, and the country will be sealed." ”

"Kill."

Seeing the collapse of the Tokyo city wall, Shi Jin promised a heavy reward, and all the soldiers were enthusiastic.

It's time to make a difference.

The naval ships on the Wuzhang River also shot arrows at the water gate.

Xu Ning, the head of the golden spear class, was shocked and fell to the ground, and after a while, he came to his senses, struggled to climb to the emperor, and shouted: "Holy Lord! ”

Zhao Ji's body was not as strong as Xu Ning, although he was not hit by the flying earth and stones, but the loud noise made him unbearable, his brain was still buzzing, the pain was terrible, seeing Xu Ning, he shouted in fright: "Quickly protect the city of me, protect the city of me." ”

"Yes."

Xu Ning's ears roared, and he couldn't hear what Zhao Ji said at all, but seeing Zhao Ji's panicked appearance, he also guessed what he meant, and hurriedly shouted and helped Zhao Ji stand up.

Some soldiers of the Golden Gun Squad and the Silver Gun Squad also staggered to their feet, but Wang Hao, Cai Youzhi and others fell to the ground and couldn't get up, screaming one by one for the guards to help them up.

Xu Ning saw that there was dust in front of him, and he didn't dare to take the emperor to the road he said before, so he helped Zhao Ji turn around and retreat to the original road

Zhao Ji still remembered what he said before, even if he remembered, he wouldn't care, he just wanted to leave this terrible place now and let the imperial doctor take a look at his head and ears.

Wang Hao, Cai You and others are even more urinating, and I don't know how many people's pants have become wet.

He Guan got up and was relieved to see that Zhao Ji was helped down to the city by the people of the Golden Gun Class, but the emperor did not die on the city wall on the spot, otherwise he, the person who brought the emperor to the city, would definitely be connected to the nine clans.

However, the emperor was frightened by this scene, even if he could repel the Liangshan bandits, he would not be responsible for the crime.

He just wanted the emperor to boost his morale. I didn't think that the thieves would use gunpowder, and I am afraid that they used at least thousands of catties of gunpowder to listen to the movement.

"Not good, city walls."

He Guan saw that the water gate was dusty. With a shout, he stumbled forward.

"The walls are falling."

"The walls are falling."

didn't run far, the forbidden army in front had already shouted, and some forbidden soldiers fled to this side.

He Guan vaguely heard the cries of these forbidden soldiers, and hurriedly shouted: "Everyone must not retreat." ”

It's a pity that his voice was drowned out in the sound of crying father and mother in the city and the shouting of killing that was getting closer and closer outside the city, and no one could hear it at all.

He Guan saw that these forbidden soldiers did not obey the general's orders, and pulled out the sword at his waist to cut down a forbidden army who ran over. shouted: "There is no mercy for those who flee from the battle." ”

In normal times, they could have made an example of each other, but now those forbidden soldiers didn't seem to hear He Guan's shouts. Keep running away.

In fact, many people really can't hear what He Guan said.

The closer to the explosion point, the more seriously injured people were, and many of the forbidden soldiers were bleeding from their mouths and noses.

The walls on both sides of the Water Gate collapsed directly. Blocked the river. It's a few feet high.

Ruan Xiaoer rushed to the water gate with the sailor speedboat, commanded the warships to stand side by side, and nailed them with wooden planks, and without much effort, a pontoon bridge was across the moat more than ten zhang wide.

After setting up the pontoon bridge, Ruan Xiaoer was not polite, and climbed into the city with the navy.

The officers and soldiers on the city wall had already been shaken, and no one stopped them.

Ruan Xiaoer easily entered the city with the navy.

There is also an urn city behind the Water Gate. Gunpowder was also buried underneath, and it was taken into account that the water gate could collapse. The river was blocked, the warships could not enter, more gunpowder was buried, and the gap opened by the explosion was even larger.

There was even a gap several feet wide in the middle of the collapsed city wall, just enough for people to pass through.

Ruan Xiaoer was also overjoyed when he saw that there was a gap that just made people get through, and he took the lead in taking the navy into the city.

Desperate San Lang Shi Xiu, sick Guan Suo Yang Xiong with dozens of Liangshan elite soldiers lurking in the courtyard dozens of zhang away from the city, in order to meet the siege of the city in time, knowing that tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder were buried under the city, everyone still did not hide farther away.

Although they were dozens of feet away and had strips of cloth stuffed in their ears, Shi Xiu and the others were still blown up.

However, Shi Xiu also knew that the achievement was in the present day, and after the loud noise, he endured all kinds of discomfort and came to the door to check.

Seeing Ruan Xiaoer rushing into the city with people, he immediately rushed over with Yang Xiong and others with weapons, and shouted: "Second brother, Yongdao is over there." ”

Ruan Xiaoer led his troops into the city, looking at the bustling Tokyo and still a little unable to distinguish things, and when he saw Shi Xiu and Yang Xiong coming to answer, he didn't say much, so he killed the front Yongdao together.

He Guan killed several people in a row, and he couldn't scare those forbidden troops, and the relatives behind him were also slow to react, knowing that these forbidden troops were useless, he hurriedly turned around and ran to the back, preparing to transfer the forbidden troops from other places to plug the gap at the water gate.

Some forbidden troops were running down the city from the road, and when they saw the Liangshan soldiers and horses entering the city, they immediately abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

Gao Yu used the Tokyo Forbidden Army in both attacks on Liangshan, and many people had the experience of surrendering.

Shi Xiu led the troops to rush to the road, and suddenly saw hundreds of brightly armored soldiers on the street in the distance escorting some people in purple official uniforms to flee to the inner city, and there was a person in red robes at the front, and immediately pulled Ruan Xiaoer to the side and said: "Second brother, the dog emperor hasn't fled far yet, let's chase after them, even if we can't catch them, we can rush into the inner city." ”

Before, Zhao Ji led people to inspect the city wall, and Shi Xiu and others also knew, but they just had to wait to receive the siege soldiers and horses, and did not pay attention to the emperor's whereabouts.

Ruan Xiaoer followed the direction pointed by Shi Xiu, and saw that the emperor and the others had only escaped a hundred zhang, and immediately overjoyed, turned around and rushed to the city, and shouted at the same time: "Children, catch the dog emperor." ”

"The Dog Catcher."

"The Dog Catcher."

Liangshan used to be called a thief, but now he turned over and became the master, and when he heard the dog catching emperor, he immediately roared.

The horses of Zhao Ji and the others were so frightened that they were paralyzed on the ground by the loud noise, and they couldn't ride at all, so Xu Ning and the others could only support Zhao Ji and the others to flee to the inner city. (To be continued......)
