Chapter 148: The Tree Falls and Scatters
The 300,000 army went all the way to the south, conquered the city for several days, and killed outside the city of Dali in a few days.
The gate of Dali City is closed, the battle flag flutters on the city wall, and the gun is cold.
Li Hao stood on the city tower, looking at the slowly approaching Wei army, with a wry smile on his face.
Now by his side, there is no Lin Zhiyuan, no Kong Liang, and even the dead soldiers in the rivers and lakes who he raised also fled most of them last night.
Rats leave a sinking ship.
One wrong step, and then one wrong step.
The good situation has come to this point, Li Hao is disheartened and has no fighting spirit.
A eunuch can drive him to a dead end, which is something he would never dream of.
The 300,000 Wei troops were neatly arrayed, marching like tigers, and the momentum was magnificent.
The legendary cannon is hidden in a battle flag flying in the wind.
In today's Dali City, there are no Nanming soldiers, all of them are equivalent to Li Hao's personal soldiers.
Li Hao also thought about escaping, but the world is big, if he gives up everything he has in his hands, can he really make a comeback in the future?
Those famous allusions to the comeback in history make people's blood boil every time, but if they encounter the same situation themselves, few people can persevere.
"Lord Wang, it's pointless for us to stick to this Dali city, it's better to abandon the city, right?" There is a silver armor deputy general who mustered up the courage and came to Li Hao's side to admonish.
Li Hao laughed and said, "Give up Dali City, where to go?" ”
From Chang'an to Ziyang, and then to Dali, all the way like a lost dog, Li Hao has long had enough days like this.
Lin Zhiyuan died tragically, Kong Liang defected, Li Hao was extremely tired and didn't want to insist anymore.
But for the legendary cannon, he still wants to see it with his own eyes.
How could a small eunuch in the Great Wei Palace create such a big killing weapon?
Seeing Li Hao standing on the city tower, Wei Xiaobao ordered: "Collapse both sides of the city tower." ”
The army was not close, the artillerymen erected the cannons from a distance, adjusted the angles, and lit the leads.
Boom boom.
Shells exploded on both sides of the tower, and the fortified walls collapsed, and the huge masonry collapsed and slammed to the ground.
The soldiers on the walls were also drowned in billowing dust.
The soldiers on the castle tower were all dumbfounded.
After hearing that Xichu was easily conquered by cannons, they scoffed at it, what a country of tigers and wolves and iron horses, but a country of women and children.
But when I experienced it myself, I saw that the impregnable city wall was shattered like tofu under the attack of cannons.
How can such a scene not make people regard it as a god and be in awe.
Li Hao quickly came back to his senses and said with a wry smile: "Li Zheng has such a person, why can't he worry about the world?" ”
"Lord Wang, it's too late to retreat now." The silver-armored lieutenant said urgently.
He didn't dare to say that he was fleeing, so he could only use the vague word of retreat.
Li Hao put his hands behind his back, watched the Wei soldiers attack frantically, did not order a counterattack, and said in a low voice: "You are originally the people of Great Wei, and you just want to return to Great Wei." ”
"I'll follow the prince to the death." The silver-armored lieutenant hurriedly knelt down.
Li Hao laughed at himself: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, but I am really tired and want to go home." ”
The deputy general of the silver armor could see that Li Hao's eyes were dim, no longer shining with the luster of a king, and it seemed that Li Hao's heart was really dead.
The deputy general of the silver armor obeyed Li Hao's order, opened the city gate with all the soldiers, abandoned the city and surrendered.
Although it doesn't matter whether the city gate is open or not, I feel that this is the only way to show more sincerity.
An army of 300,000 poured into Dali City and soon took over the entire city.
Wei Xiaobao rode slowly to the city tower, looked at the silver-armored deputy general and asked, "What about King Qin?" ”
The lieutenant general raised his hand and pointed to the tower.
Li Hao was still there, looking into the distance, with no intention of escaping.
Wei Xiaobao smiled and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"Yue Poyu, the deputy general under General Nalin." The lieutenant general replied respectfully.
Wei Xiaobao was about to ask again, but he heard the soldiers behind him let out a burst of exclamations.
Li Hao, who was standing on the city tower, jumped down from the city tower suddenly.
As a master of the six-story building, Li Hao closed his eyes at the moment, just wanting his head to hit the ground and be relieved in an instant.
"Lord Wang......" Yue Poyu was shocked.
Wei Xiaobao was quite speechless, waved his palm, and vigorously attacked, holding Li Hao to land steadily.
Yue Poyu breathed a long sigh of relief.
He has been following Li Hao for many years, and he never thought that Li Hao would also commit suicide.
But in Wei Xiaobao's view, Li Hao's move was done for Wei Xiaobao.
If Li Hao really didn't want to live, he could wipe his neck with a knife, instead of jumping off the city tower in front of Wei Xiaobao.
Li Hao sighed lightly and said with a wry smile: "Why do you want to save me? ”
"If the prince dies in front of me, after returning to Chang'an, His Majesty will definitely condemn me." Wei Xiaobao chuckled, and did not expose Li Hao's acting skills.
When Li Hao heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile: "Will you take me back to Chang'an?" It's me who lives. ”
Wei Xiaobao said respectfully: "The prince said that he laughed, the only person who can deal with the prince is Your Majesty." ”
Li Hao knows Li Zheng, if the brothers meet, Li Zheng is very likely to be unable to kill him.
Since the southern expedition plan failed, he naturally had to change his strategy and use a more secure method to achieve his wishes.
Li Hao stretched out his hands towards Wei Xiaobao and asked softly, "Do you want to shackle this king?" ”
Wei Xiaobao waved his hand and said, "No need." ”
"Count you dog slave sensible." Li Hao thought in his heart, he would never dare to say this to his face, if he angered Wei Xiaobao, Wei Xiaobao slapped him to death, but the gain outweighed the loss.
Wei Xiaobao's face turned pale, and he laughed and said, "I have something better to give to the prince." ”
"Something better?" Li Hao was slightly stunned.
Wei Xiaobao was already laughing and entering the city.
Li Hao watched Wei Xiaobao go away, his eyes glazed over.
Yue Poyu followed Li Hao's side and protected him closely.
"Overseer, do you really want to let Li Hao go?" Ling Huchan caught up with Wei Xiaobao and asked in a low voice.
Leaving Li Hao behind, there will be endless disasters.
Wei Xiaobao glanced back and said with a smile: "Chan'er, I don't want Li Hao to live another hour." ”
"Understood." Ling Huchan smiled.
There are some things that Wei Xiaobao can't do, but Ling Huchan can.
As soon as Li Hao returned to the palace, before his ass was hot, he saw Ling Huchan break in.
When he saw Ling Huchan, Li Hao frowned slightly, and then asked with a smile: "Did Wei Xiaobao ask you to come?" ”
The purpose of Ling Huchan's coming here is not to guess at all.
"Li Hao, between you and me, there are old accounts." Ling Huchan slowly raised her right hand.
When Li Hao was in Ziyang City, he interfered in the internal affairs of the Ming Sect and supported Gongsun Chou and almost killed Ling Huchan.
This account has always been kept in mind by Huchan, and today it is time to liquidate.
Li Hao clenched his fists, his palms were sweating, and he pretended to be calm: "You did this, Wei Xiaobao can know?" ”
"Of course I don't know, no one will know." Ling Huchan is very confident in her martial arts.
Li Hao wanted to call for help, but he was stuck in his throat and could not speak.
He turned around sharply, drew his long knife from the side, and quickly slashed at Ling Huchan.
Ling Huchan shook her body, avoided the long knife, appeared on Li Hao's side, and grabbed Li Hao's head with her right hand.
"Your life is always a scourge." Ling Huchan said and let go of her hand.
In the five finger holes on Li Hao's skull, blood rushed wildly in an instant.
