Zuo Chengyi's army was invincible, forcing the Imperial Forest Army to retreat all the way to the vicinity of the Imperial Palace.

The artillery was already aimed in the direction of the palace, and there were still about ten shells left.

If the tyrant's side does not speak and surrenders, these ten shells will be enough to seriously injure the people inside.

"Major General, the Dog Emperor has not come out to surrender yet, what are we waiting for, just bombard it with one shot."

After two days of actual combat, everyone in the world knows the power of artillery.

It stands to reason that no matter how backbone the tyrant is, there are so many soldiers and officials under his command that some of them can't help but be frightened and run out to surrender.

Who knows, but there is no movement at all.

It's weird.

Zuo Chengyi was not carried away by the victory, but was more cautious than before.

"Wait."

As he spoke, he walked over to the artillery.

The Waiyi people have been guarding the artillery wagon, and they have barely closed their eyes for two days and two nights, and they have made great achievements in this siege.

When he saw Zuo Chengyi coming, he didn't ask for credit, but only begged: "Young General, for the sake of my hard work in the past two days, can you let me go?" Later, if the enemy comes to kill you, this artillery is not conducive to close combat. I'm not as good as you guys, so I have to run away early, right? ”

The closer he is to success, the less careless Zuo Chengyi becomes.

"Since you have held out for two days and two nights, hold on for a while, it won't be long before this battle is over, as long as you don't go wrong, I will naturally let you go."

The Waiyi man sighed.

"Hey, if only I had practiced kung fu like the young general."

Zuo Chengyi ignored him and ordered the soldiers to go to the vicinity of the palace to find out the news and think about the best time to attack.

Before the soldier could get out of his sight, he was suddenly shot by an arrow and fell to the ground and died.

Then, a team suddenly appeared in front of them, shouting and killing in this direction.

"It's not good, the enemy has already laid an ambush, kill it quickly-" A military general shouted, and then led his troops to meet him.

The night is dark, and even if the torches of the soldiers are lit, it is difficult to predict the number of enemies.

Zuo Chengyi immediately spoke: "Fire artillery to stop the enemy from attacking." ”

The Waiyi people were able to obediently send a cannonball.

In the past, the voices on the enemy's side were quieter.

But suddenly, it seems that another wave of enemies is coming this way.

The number of defenders of the Imperial City and the Imperial Forest Army, Zuo Chengyi has a number in his heart, even if the other party pours out, it is only 20,000 now.

Even without artillery, winning a battle is easy.

It's just that Zuo Chengyi can't bear to let his team block it with his body.

"Continue firing artillery and protect the team as it advances."

His original intention was to use artillery to the enemy as much as possible to avoid casualties among his own soldiers.

But when his words landed, no one responded.

Looking at the artillery operation office again, the Waiyi people have disappeared.

"What about people?" Zuo Chengyi walked over.

Several soldiers in charge of supervision replied: "That man just shouted that he had a stomachache and diarrhea, and went to find a thatched house." Don't worry, the young general, our people will follow. ”

It's just that the left and the right are waiting, and there is never a figure of outsiders.

The enemy on the opposite side had already rushed over and was fighting with his own soldiers.

Zuo Chengyi has already been alerted, and the foreigners must not be as simple as diarrhea.

But the battle situation is urgent, and if you don't fire again, when the enemy's rear troops also rush up and fight in close combat with the soldiers on your side, the artillery will no longer be able to be used.

Thinking of this, Zuo Chengyi got into the chariot himself and stood in front of the artillery.

"I'm coming!"

Under the supervision of a few soldiers without blinking, no one would have thought that the Waiyi people could easily use their hands and feet on the artillery.

But when Zuo Chengyi realized that something was wrong at the last step, it was too late.

The shells did not fire, but they blew up the artillery wagon itself, killing and wounding dozens of soldiers around it.

"Major General!" The soldiers searched for Zuo Chengyi in the thick smoke, but they only saw stumps and scraps of flesh all over the ground.

In a trance, I seemed to see a black shadow flying away under the cover of night.

There is no master general in the army, and there will be chaos, but fortunately, Chengguo Gong came in time to stabilize the morale and situation of the army.

Without artillery assistance, the assault on the palace slowed down.

When it was almost dawn, Shen Mo had not received any news, and he was so anxious that he couldn't hold it back, so he had to go and check it out in person.

It happened that a spy came to report, and he learned that Zuo Chengyi had an accident.

"Impossible! When pigs fly! His kung fu is so high, how can he not dodge the artillery? Shen Mo ran out like crazy, "I want to see people in life, I want to see corpses in death, they can't find anyone, I'll find them myself!" ”

"Silence!" Shen Jinbao rushed to stop it in time, "I have inquired about the beginning and end of the matter, the artillery is huge, and it is not possible for manpower to dodge it." Zuo Chengyi has already had an accident, not only will it not help you if you go, but anyway, it will fall into the hands of Chengguo Gong and lose your life in vain. ”

"Dad-" Shen Mo was in a hurry, and his distressed brother couldn't be recovered, so he immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood.

A few days ago, he and his brother were drinking and talking in the middle of the night, how could it be that the two days of hard work were separated by yin and yang?

Shen Jinbao also felt sorry for the kind child who looked like his adopted son, and couldn't help but redden.

But he still cheered up and persuaded: "You have no other way now. If you want to protect the tens of thousands of soldiers who have accompanied you all the way to the present, you can only compete with Chengguo Gong. ”

Silence suppressed the grief in his heart and thought about the current situation.

That Chengguo Gong can swallow his anger and lie dormant for more than 20 years, he is obviously an ambitious person, and that kind of person will not tolerate forces that threaten him.

Once he grabs that position first, then Shen Mo and the tens of thousands of soldiers under his hands will definitely not have a good result.

Silence now wants to back down, and it's impossible.

"Dad, let Song Zhi out, let him go with me."

Shen Jinbao was very pleased that his son had made the right decision so quickly, and immediately responded: "Okay, Dad, let people out." ”

Shen Mo is still very good at reading people and using people.

Although Song Zhi is a little unruly on weekdays, he can charge into battle at a critical moment.

If you want to succeed in silence, he is really indispensable.

After Song Zhi was released, it was needless to say that he was annoyed in his heart, but the young general did not cure him of the crime of trying to use troops privately, and he was lucky to escape.

He didn't forget to defend himself: "Last night, if the major general had listened to the advice of the last general and killed it earlier, maybe we would have captured the palace by now." The tone was a bit complaining.

At present, he silently employs people, and does not care about Song Zhi, only arranges the troops, and then officially leads the troops to kill the past.

The veteran of Chengguo Gong came out, still mighty and domineering, and he didn't have the sick appearance before.

He looked around and seemed very satisfied with the situation.

Most of the power of Zuo Mao and Xiao Ding twenty years ago is now in his own hands.

In the world of this Great Zhou, the surname is about to be changed to Zuo.
