Chapter 41: What a ruthless man
A group of soldiers of the Tang Army drove up one heavy cart after another, removed a lot of thick and heavy parts from the carriage, and then began to assemble them.
Looking at the busy Tang Army, King Nan Tianzhu sneered: "The Tang Army is helpless, right? The Tang Army must be helpless against us. ”
"Who said that the Tang Army is amazing, isn't this very useless? Under the fortified city, no matter how powerful the Tang army is, it is in vain. ”
The ministers followed and laughed at Tang Jun.
Jiancheng is indeed a sharp weapon against the Tang army, according to their thoughts, the Tang army can not conquer the capital of Nantianzhu, everyone is overjoyed, and they are able to ridicule it.
However, they soon became unhappy.
It didn't take long for five huge machines as tall as a building to stand under the city, like ancient beasts, looking hideous and terrifying.
This is the Tang Army's siege weapon, the crossbow.
Strictly speaking, the crossbow is also a type of crossbow, but it is designed and manufactured specifically for siege.
The Tang army attacked the city, mostly using crossbows, and rarely using siege rams and other siege machinery, because the battering rams were cumbersome and heavy, and they had to be close to exert their power. In order to attack the city gate, the battering ram must be close in order to storm the city gate, which will cause a lot of casualties and may not be successful.
There are many ways to deal with battering rams, such as smashing boulders, pouring oil on fire, and so on.
With a crossbow, there is no such inconvenience, because the crossbow can exert its power from a distance.
The power of the crossbow siege is very great, because the crossbow is huge, the diameter of its crossbow arrow is more than half a meter, and it is three or two zhang long, flying from a long distance, how terrible its impact is. You can imagine it.
The crossbow is bulky and bulky. But it can be disassembled. When marching, you only need to dismantle it, put it on the cart and transport it. When needed, reassemble it.
The only thing that is more troublesome is the crossbow of the crossbow, which has a diameter of more than half a meter and is made of stainless steel three or two zhang long, and its weight is very heavy, so it is more troublesome to transport.
The crossbow was assembled. The Tang army began to load crossbow arrows. The crossbow bolt was too heavy for it to be loaded by a human, but by a machine.
Soon, the crossbow bolts were loaded, and looking at the crossbow bolts on the arrow road, it was terrifying.
At first glance, like a missile, who can not be shocked?
"What's that? What is the Tang Army going to do? Isn't it for siege? King Nan Tianzhu saw it in his eyes and was shocked in his heart.
"It's supposed to be a siege. If you were to shoot elephants, you wouldn't have to make it so rough. ”
"Yes. Although the elephant has thick skin and thick flesh, the strong crossbow bolt is arm thick enough to shoot. It doesn't have to be so coarse. This must have been used for siege. ”
There were also shrewd people among the ministers, and they quickly thought of the difference between a rook crossbow and a strong crossbow.
"It looks pretty good, but I don't know how powerful it is." Some ministers questioned it.
"Wait and see." There are ministers who are quite cautious.
Just wait and see how powerful the crossbow is.
"Put." Yang Siqiao's eyes sparkled, and his right hand waved down heavily, very powerful.
"Boom!" There was only one sound, but it was like an earth-shattering thunder roar, which shook people's ear drums.
"Whew!" There was only a sound of breaking through the air, but it was sharp and piercing, roaring like the sound of a missile being launched.
I saw a thick crossbow bolt rushing towards the city gate at high speed and slamming into the city gate.
"Boom!" An earth-shattering bang sounded, and the steel-made city gate suddenly sank into a large pit.
The impact was so terrible that not only the gates were trembling, but also the city walls.
King Nantianzhu only felt that the city wall under his feet was shaking, as if the ground was moving.
The movement continued for a while before it stopped.
King Nan Tianzhu's face was very ugly, gloomy as water, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
Not only is he afraid, but who is not afraid?
The power of the crossbow is too great, just one moment, let the city gate sink into a big pit, if a few more times, whether the city gate can withstand it, is still in the second place.
For the first time, they felt that the situation was severe, and the Tang army was as powerful as attacking the city and fighting a field battle.
"Boom!" Just as they were shocked, the second crossbow was fired.
The crossbow bolts of a crossbow are so large that a crossbow can only fire one at a time, and it is impossible to fire a few more than a strong crossbow.
The second crossbow bolt slammed into the city gate, and an earth-shattering bang erupted, and the city gate sank into a large pit.
"Boom!" The crossbow continued to exert its might, and the crossbow bolts continued to pounce, slamming into the city gate, and erupting with a shocking sound.
With each impact, the gate sank into a large crater.
After the five bolts, a crack appeared in the closed gate. Moreover, cracks appeared in the arrow tower above the city gate.
After another three crossbow bolts, tiny cracks appeared in the wall near the city gate, and it would not be long before the wall collapsed.
Looking at the cracked city wall, King Nan Tianzhu's face turned white, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
If this continues, the loss of the city gates is inevitable. Once the city gate is lost, it will be difficult to stop the Tang army. In the battle with the Tang army, he had no chance of winning, so he was not afraid.
"How is it good? How is it good? "King Nan Tianzhu is helpless.
"Lord, hurry down. It's still too late. ”
"Yes. Surrendering before the Tang army entered the city could avoid disaster. ”
The ministers were also frightened, and their faces were gloomy.
"Alright then, let's come down." Nan Tianzhu knew that he had no other way but to surrender.
"Boom!" As soon as his words fell, he heard a roar of metal slamming into the city, and the gates of the city were blasted open, and then flew and fell to the ground.
"Attack!" Yang Siqiao pulled out the horizontal knife violently, and with a flick of his wrist, a beautiful knife flower flashed and roared.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! The Tang army erupted into a terrifying roar and began to attack like a tidal wave.
The Tang army rushed to the moat, threw the dirt bag in his hand into the river, and after a while, the moat was filled. The Don army crossed the moat and rushed towards the city gates.
"Quick, stop them." Some soldiers of Nan Tianzhu shouted and rushed up to intercept the Tang army.
However. They were greeted by a bright Modao. A Mo knife slashed down. Split them to pieces.
The Modao battle array can not only fight field battles, but also street battles. In street fighting, Modao is still unmatched.
The Mo knife battle array opens the way, the god blocks and kills the god, and the Buddha blocks and kills the Buddha, which is unstoppable.
After capturing the city gates, there was nothing left to stop the Tang army, which poured into the city like a surging tide. Carry out a massacre.
"Escape, my lord." When a minister saw that the Tang army was slashing and killing fiercely, it would definitely not end well if it fell into the hands of the Tang army, so he reminded King Nan Tianzhu.
"Run." King Nan Tianzhu thought to himself that he was right, he must not fall into the hands of the Tang army, and it was better to escape.
However, he was soon disappointed, and in front of every city gate, there was a group of Tang troops waiting for him.
Since Yang Siqiao had made up his mind to slaughter the city, of course he would not let them escape. It was inevitable to send the Don army to defend all the city gates.
After the Tang army entered the city, they went on a killing spree. Everywhere he went, it was red.
If you look at it from the sky, you will see that the city is red, and everywhere is red, and there is no place that is not red.
"Whoa." Blood flowed down the road, through the gates, into the moat, making a gurgling sound. It didn't take long for the moat to turn red.
It was a massacre, a one-sided massacre, and the whole battle lasted half a day before it ended.
King Nantianzhu and his ministers were captured and brought to Yang Siqiao.
They were frightened, their faces were pale, and they knelt on the ground and begged for their lives: "I beg Tang Jun to raise your noble hand and spare my life." ”
Yang Siqiao rode on horseback, glanced at King Nantianzhu, and said coldly: "Cut it." ”
"Spare your life! Spare your life! King Nantianzhu urinated all of a sudden, and wanted to ask for mercy, but there was no chance, Tang Jun raised his knife and fell, and he moved.
His head rolled on the ground, his mouth opened and closed, as if he wanted to ask Yang Siqiao, he had begged for mercy, why did he kill him?
"I said I was going to slaughter the city, I was going to slaughter the city! All chopped. Yang Siqiao did not have the slightest pity, and with an order, the Tang army killed all the ministers.
"Start slaughtering the city!" Yang Siqiao lightly issued an order to slaughter the city.
Slaughtering the city, this kind of thing is very cruel, it is difficult for ordinary people to give such an order, however, Yang Siqiao does not have the slightest psychological burden, as if this is commonplace.
The people of Nantianzhu were driven out, and groups gathered together, and the Tang army began to harvest their lives.
Tang Jun held a piece of wood in his hand, which was used to measure his height, and anyone who exceeded this wood would die.
Adult, of course, you don't need to measure, just kill it.
It is the children who want to be measured, and one by one they pass under the wood, and those who are not as tall as the wood can live. Whoever surpasses wood will surely die.
"You come out." A Tang soldier shouted as he pointed to a child who was only slightly taller than wood.
"I'm only a little bit taller." The kid was scared.
"A little bit is more than that." Tang Jun dragged him over, raised his knife and fell, and killed him on the spot.
XXXXXXXXXX
The royal palace.
Li Longji was dealing with the official office, looking focused.
"Prince, it's not good, it's not good." The human spirit Gao Lishi also rushed in as if he was flying, and shouted from afar.
"What's going on?" Gao Lishi is extraordinary, he is so frightened, there must be something big happening, Li Longji raised his head violently.
"Prince, Yang Siqiao has slaughtered the city. He slaughtered the city. Cold sweat oozed from Colliers' forehead.
"Slaughtering the city?" Li Longji jumped up violently, and his face changed greatly.
It's right that he wants to stand up, but he never thought of slaughtering the city, because the slaughter of the city is too terrifying.
Colliers shouted, "Slaughter the city, this is the slaughter of the city." Whoever is more than three feet taller will be slain by him. There were hundreds of thousands of people in the Nantianzhu King City, and he killed more than 200,000 this time. ”
"More than 200,000?" Li Longji's eyes almost fell.
Although Li Longji had long known that Yang Siqiao was a ruthless man, he did not expect that he would be so fierce that he would dare to slaughter the city, and he would slaughter more than 200,000 people at one time.
"Quick, tell Zhang that they are coming to discuss." Cold sweat broke out on Li Longji's forehead.
More than 200,000 lives are no joke. Although Li Longji had the experience of slaughtering millions of Turks, the current Tianzhu was different from the Turks. The Turks were all soldiers, regardless of men, women, young and old, and they could go to the battlefield, and the Tang army had to slaughter millions of people.
And in Tianzhu, the people are the people, and the army is the army, which is separated. Li Longji can slaughter the Tianzhu army and slaughter more than 200,000 people, and he really can't be ruthless. (To be continued......)
