Chapter 59 The royal driver is personally conscripted, and the heavenly punishment breaks the city
The different pictures presented from the two perspectives brought Ji Ning a strong pressure on his mind, and the incarnation and the real body had to remain in a state of movement and stillness in order to function harmoniously.
Nowadays, the incarnation outside the body may set foot in the mysterious realm of the unity of heaven and man at any time, which makes Ji Ning dare not cut off contact at will, so as not to miss the best opportunity and regret it too late.
In short, he was in pain and happy.
On the other side, after Ji Ning retired from the dynasty, he walked alone in the magnificent palace city, and the massive amount of true qi in his body changed with his thoughts, sometimes the waves were monstrous, sometimes the waves were calm, and the changes were uncertain.
Every time the waves surge, they are knocking on the invisible door of all wonders.
Ten days later, Ji Ning left the emperor's grandson Yang Qi to guard Luoyang, and he led the army to Tongguan!
Since ancient times, Tongguan has been in danger all over the world!
Tongguan is located in Weinan, bordering the Yellow River in the north and the mountainside in the south. It is the east gate of Guanzhong, it is the key to enter and exit the Three Qins, so it has become the necessary place and the key pass of the Central Plains and the Western Regions in the east and the west since the end of the Han Dynasty.
"This attack on Guanzhong is a big battle, in addition to Li Valve, there will inevitably be a fight with the Turks!"
Ji Ning rode a tall horse, looking at the stretching army, but a sense of pride rose in his chest, and he had a premonition that the opportunity to set foot in the realm of Tongxuan was in Daxing City.
"Wuzun Bi Xuan, I hope you won't let me down."
Last year, when Li Yuan raised troops to go south to Guanzhong, Xue raised troops against Sui in Longxi, claiming to be the overlord of Western Qin, with the year name Qin Xing.
Li Yuan had not yet been able to pacify Longxi, and the Sui army in Luoyang in the east came again, which was a real life and death crisis for Li Tang.
In this case, it is self-evident what kind of choice Li Yuan will make.
"Your Majesty!"
At this time, Wang Shichong rushed over, dismounted and saluted, and said: "The situation in Tongguan is dangerous, and there is Qinling in the south. There is the forbidden valley in the southeast, there are Wei and Luo Erchuan in the north of the valley, and the Yellow River hugs down the pass, and the west is close to Huayue.
The surrounding mountains are even mountains, peaks and peaks, valleys are deep and precipices, the mountains are high and the roads are narrow, only the narrow roads in the middle pass pass, Li valve arranges heavy troops here, if we want to take it, I am afraid it will take more effort? ”
"Oh?" Ji Ning glanced at Wang Shichong meaningfully.
"Your Majesty's heavenly soldiers will be able to survive a hundred battles, but this time the royal drive is in person, and the first battle of Tongguan ......"
Wang Shichong admonished tactfully.
Ji Ning smiled and said: "What Aiqing said is reasonable, so in this first battle, I am ready to send a surprise soldier to the battlefield to break through Tongguan, only in the palm of my hand!" ”
"Your Majesty is far-sighted, and the ministers are not as good as what happens." Wang Shichong said with sincere fear.
Under Tongguan, the Sui army set up a siege position.
Ji Ning stepped forward and couldn't help but smile when he saw the layout of the city wall, and said: "It seems that this guard is not stupid, he knows the layout of the city wall, which one is guarding the city?" ”
"Tongguan is the place where Li Shun lives and dies, and it is Li Yuan's eldest son Li Jiancheng who guards the city!"
The king acts as the way.
"It's a pity...... Although there are many decorations, they are useless! ”
Ji Ning waved his hand, the herald agitated his cheeks, and the sound of the horn was transmitted far away.
The Sui army separated, revealing an army dressed in red armor and under the banner of fire.
Several squads roared, pushing the wooden carts to the front of the formation, on top of the wooden carts, there were several huge iron pipes, the body of the cannon was dark, with a hideous color, which was the most common number of generals' guns in later generations.
Of course, until now, whether it is the iron used in casting or the power, it is enough to be said to be a big killer.
Ji Ning recruited a group of alchemists to Jiangdu, and in addition to refining "fire robbery" and "water poison", he also tossed out some things that were listed as military secrets.
"God Artillery...... Preparation! ”
Ji Ning personally stepped forward, commanded Ruoding, and calibrated the target.
Immediately, artillery shells were filled and torches were lit.
"Put !!"
Whoa!
The fuse ignited, emitted green smoke, and quickly sank into the barrel of the gun.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
In the midst of the terrifying loud noise, an unparalleled explosion suddenly occurred above Tongguan!
The air is surging, the rocks are flying, and the ghosts of the defenders are crying wolf!
All three armies were sluggish.
"Heavenly ...... Heavenly punishment! ”
Recalling the dazzling white light from before, as well as the terrifying aura of destruction, Wang Shichong couldn't help but mutter.
He looked around, only to see that the head of Tongguan City was in chaos, several huge potholes emerged, the edges were pitch black, and the soldiers were shouting and crying.
These artillery pieces actually chiseled a few gaps in Tongguan! The frightening effect is greater than the power of the cannonballs.
"Silence! Formation! ”
The commanders of the Sui army urged for a long time before they gathered all the soldiers who had been prepared together.
Compared with the slightly prepared Sui army, the army on the opposite side faced this scene like heavenly punishment, and many people directly collapsed their beliefs, crying for their fathers and mothers.
"Your Majesty is mighty, with this artifact, it is God's help!"
Wang Shicheng immediately knelt down towards Ji Ning and ordered the heralds to spread the word everywhere.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Among the three armies, they were stunned for a moment, and then thundered with joy.
"God artillery again! Get ready for the siege! ”
Seeing that the morale was available, Ji Ning immediately issued a siege order.
Under the continuous bombardment of the divine artillery, the defenders of Tongguan were almost crushed.
However, the morale of the Sui army was greatly boosted, and they rushed forward with a roar, like a tide, wave after wave, slowly swallowing up this key pass.
You Niaoti, Zhou Laosian and other masters immediately pounced out, jumped up to the city tower with light skills, and looked for the most precious loot.
By the time the sun set, the remnant sun was like blood, and the entire battle situation had been completely stabilized.
"Your Majesty!"
Wang Shichong couldn't wipe the black ash off his face, knelt down and kowtowed in front of Ji Ning's royal car, and said: "Tongguan guards will turn against the water, Li Jiancheng is trapped in the mansion, struggling to break through, wearing more than 20 wounds, being shot by random arrows, accompanied by fifty-seven elite soldiers, none of them are alive!" ”
"Li Jiancheng died like this."
When Ji Ning heard the news, he was stunned, and then sighed. After Tongguan was breached, the situation in Guanzhong collapsed, and it was just around the corner.
If Li Yuan didn't still have the thigh of the Turk to hold, I'm afraid he would have to surrender.
On the Guanzhong Plain, the army of Haohao Tang is marching forward.
Ji Ning galloped on his horse, only to see that the fields on the plain were continuous, most of them were good mature fields, and the soil was fertile, and he couldn't help but admire: "The industry of Qinchuan, the foundation of the emperor, the ancients did not deceive me!" ”
At this time, the land of Guanzhong was not the Loess Plateau with thousands of ravines in his memory.
On the contrary, the vegetation is verdant, and everywhere it looks, it is full of pleasant green, and there is no end to it as far as the eye can see.
Before the erosion of water and soil, the Guanzhong Plain was really fertile for thousands of miles, regardless of population, politics, economy, and agriculture, it was a well-deserved "land of abundance".
After conquering Tongguan, Ji Ning led the army to Daxing City.
In fact, there is no choice.
If he did not seize the opportunity, Li Yuan would have surrendered to the Turks, and the entire north would be in ruins.
And the only thing he can do is to pacify Guanzhong before the Turkic army goes south, so that he can maintain the strength of the Central Plains to the greatest extent, and then compete with the Hu people.
