Chapter 760: Northern Elegy (4)
King Han stood on the city tower, looking at the army outside the gate of the Liao Wang's Mansion from a distance, and a faint smile was hooked on the corner of his mouth.
"It seems that the King of Liao has received the news of the slaughter of the Huangfu and can't help but prepare for an armed coup."
Yan Ruyun stood behind King Han and said solemnly.
King Han said with a smile: "This king has already said that the palace is their battlefield, we have our battlefield, and now the situation in the capital is chaotic, it is time for us to appear." ”
Yan Ruyun said: "Our men and horses have been assembled, this time Emperor Hongwei is too fast, our preparation time is still a little hasty, and there are less than 5,000 people at the moment." ”
King Han smiled and waved his hand, "We are not prepared, has that person been prepared long enough?" Five thousand men are enough, set off at once, and be sure to uproot him before he escapes! ”
Yan Ruyun's face changed when she heard this, and she hugged her fists and said, "Obey!" ”
After the time of the three incense sticks, the army of the King of Liao had approached the palace, and a large number of forbidden troops could be seen from a distance.
"Report! Lord Wang, Xue Yu, the general of the Yulin Hussars, led 30,000 forbidden troops to guard the Nangong Gate, may I ask if the prince is engaged in the battle? ”
The scouts who explored the way rushed back to the Chinese army and reported to the king of Liao.
King Liao snorted coldly: "They have eaten the scales and have an iron heart, passed on the king's order, and attacked the palace with all their might!" ”
"Yes!"
The heralds went as they were told, and the 100,000 troops immediately spread out in batches, and the archers lined up neatly in the large open space outside the palace, drawing their bows and shooting arrows, and the black and oppressive arrow rain suddenly fell from the sky like a swarm of insects, and the screams suddenly rose one after another.
After three rounds of arrow rain, the forbidden army on Miyagi avoided one after another, and most of the defenders were reduced.
"Report! The defenders of Miyagi have been suppressed by our army, and General Wang Yi asked for a siege! ”
The herald came again.
The King of Liao sat on his war horse and said one word in a loud voice: "Accurate!" ”
The herald flapped away again, and a large number of soldiers immediately unfurled their banners and stormed the palace.
However, when the soldiers approached the city walls, the forbidden troops who had been hiding in all directions on the palace immediately resurfaced and returned fire with their newly equipped repeating crossbows.
Due to the charge of the vanguard troops, the archers of the Liaowang group became decorations in order to avoid accidental injuries, and the vanguard troops who had lost their support were suddenly killed and wounded, and they were repulsed after a moment of fighting.
Seeing this, the King of Liao frowned, and was about to speak, when Du Ruo suddenly hurriedly came behind him and said, "Lord Qiqi, I just received the news that a group of people of unknown origin are attacking Dongchang Prison. ”
Hearing this, King Liao's face changed slightly, and he sneered: "There is only the crown prince in the edict prison, but I didn't expect that there are people besides this king who are thinking about him."
It's ridiculous to say, this king and the prince have fought all their lives, but they didn't expect to cheapen the fourth child for nothing, and the father and the emperor played a good calculation, making us all clowns singing on stage, so that he and the fourth child were secretly having fun behind his back.
Hmph, it's okay if the prince comes out now, don't you want to use us, let you taste the miscalculation now!
Don't pay attention to the chaos on the side of the edict, continue to attack the palace, and be sure to pull him down from the throne to this king before the fourth child ascends the throne! ”
"Lord Wang, Lord Wang!"
Before the words fell, another cronie ran behind him, who shouted all the way to the King of Liao with a happy face.
The king of Liao didn't like him to be so frivolous, and said angrily: "What's the noise? ”
The man didn't seem to see that King Liao was displeased, and said loudly: "Lord Wang, good news, His Royal Highness King Han has sent a big gift to King Wang!" ”
"Oh?"
King Liao raised his eyebrows and asked, "What kind of gift is it?" ”
The man pointed behind him and said, "It's ten new cannons that have just been produced by the military factory of the military department!" ”
"Really?!"
When the King of Liao heard this, he was overjoyed.
"It's true, Lord Wang, look!"
Everyone hurriedly followed the man's fingers, and saw that ten cannons had really been pulled by the war horse, and all the artillery pieces were brand new, as if they had been pulled directly from the military factory of the military department to the battlefield.
"Good!"
King Liao laughed and said: "It's still the ninth brother who thinks about it thoroughly, with these ten cannons, why worry about the palace gate not being broken?" Fire, fire! ”
As soon as the King of Liao gave the order, a soldier immediately pushed the artillery onto the battlefield.
To say that King Han really thought it through, the whole army changed its outfit and gave priority to the Apocalypse Guard, even the old-fashioned artillery eliminated by the Apocalypse Guard did not have the turn of these guards controlled by the King of Liao.
King Han was afraid that no one in the Liao army's army would use artillery, so he even invited the artillery engineers of the military factory to teach the soldiers how to operate the artillery on the battlefield.
With artillery, the thin layer of palace walls will naturally not be a problem anymore, but the King of Liao suddenly thought of another thing, beckoned, and called his other henchman, Li Shun, the lieutenant of the Right Jin Wuwei Middle School.
"It should only be a matter of time before the army breaks through the city, you immediately take two thousand men and horses and go to slaughter the old fourth mansion for this king!"
Li Shun was shocked when he heard this: "Lord Wang, will it be too much to do this?" ”
"Ever?"
The King of Liao said angrily: "Hundreds of people in the Huang Mansion have been slaughtered, aren't they too much? Huang Tingzhi, the king's grandfather, made great contributions to the prosperity of my Great Wei, but in the end, he ended up with no children and grandchildren, aren't they too much? ”
Li Shun nodded and said, "The last general understands, the last general will go immediately!" ”
King Liao nodded, and turned his gaze back to the battlefield, at this time the ten cannons had been trained under the guidance of the engineer and loaded into the cannonballs.
The position commander shouted: "Release!" ”
"Boom!!"
Ten guns opened fire at once, six of them were aiming directly into the sky because of improper aiming, but four shells still accurately hit the palace wall.
The weak palace wall was suddenly blown down by a small half, and countless soldiers of the forbidden army struggled and wailed in the flames and smoke.
The King of Liao is cheering here, if the weak palace wall is attacked, I don't know how many lives will be filled, at this time with artillery, not only the casualties will be greatly reduced, but also the time will be much faster, how can this not make the soldiers rejoice?
However, the Liaowang Group was still too happy, the sound of the cannon had just fallen, and there were suddenly a few muffled sounds in the palace wall, everyone had just heard this sound, how could they not be familiar?
"It's the sound of artillery, and the forbidden army also has artillery!"
I don't know who exclaimed, and then several shells fell more than twenty meters away, and the earth shook suddenly, and the huge shock wave almost lifted the Liao King off his horse.
Under the hurried efforts of a group of cronies, the King of Liao finally escaped from the frightened war horse, but his face became extremely ugly.
"Fight, hit this king, knock out their artillery first!"
Although he was also frightened, the King of Liao's mind was still quite clear, and he immediately made the most important decision, and the herald trotted all the way to follow his orders, and the first artillery battle in this world was met unexpectedly.
On the other side, after Xu Rui left Yuwang's mansion, he quickly joined his own soldiers and rushed to Liu Yi's mansion non-stop, and finally saw Liu Yi before the army of King Liao arrived at the palace gate.
In the study, Liu Yi looked at Xu Rui with disgust, and reprimanded angrily: "The old man has said countless times, he is a person of Great Wei in life, and a ghost of Great Wei in death, and he will not leave Changxing City no matter what."
If you really have made up your mind to be a traitor to Great Wei, then go by yourself, if he sends an old man to the expedition one day, then we will see you on the battlefield! ”
Xu Rui sat opposite Liu Yi, sprayed with spit all over his face, but he could only helplessly accompany the smiling face.
