Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Invincible General of Divine Might

Zhao Tianze, the lord of the domain, had a gloomy face, watching the two boast to each other. The plan he envisioned to control the king of Yongning County, and then he slowly planned it, were all washed away by reality.

Zhu Ju, a young man, disrespects his father-in-law, and messes around, so he can only kill his son-in-law in righteousness.

"If Zhu Ju wants to lead the Yongning soldiers to make a rebellion, the city will only have to rely on Meng Patrol and General Liu."

Zhao Tianze is the highest-ranking civil official, and the generals he can use at the moment are Lao Meng and Liu Li.

"My people are all in the inspection department outside, and the city gate officials may not be able to let them in. I can't do anything without manpower. ”

Lord Meng of the Mighty Divine Capital opened his mouth and pulled hard. In fact, he ambushed more than 100 people nearby tonight for the banquet. But there's no need to show the bottom of it.

"This official will write you a warrant to open the door, and then write to Luoyang Mansion, and you will also be dispatched to capture Kuai and Minzhuang, what do you think?"

"That's pretty much it."

Lord Zhao looked at Liu Li again, and as a result, General Liu said unequivocally: "I can only release the two hundred personal soldiers under my command and let them be dispatched by Lord Fantai." ”

Liu Li's words are very realistic, and the entire Luoyang City and the nearby guards cannot be used.

The reality is that someone really wants to rebel under everyone's nose! But none of these leaders of Luoyang City's civil and military forces had the power to lead a large army to quell the rebellion.

The transfer of troops to combat requires the approval of the imperial court and the Ministry of War, and those present are all responsible figures, but the person who is always responsible - there is no reality.

Yan Ji said in Lao Meng's ear: "The current situation is unclear, mobilize manpower, and act at the opportunity." ”

Meng Yishan nodded, he was also worried about the situation in the palace, Shaolin Temple was obviously going to do something big.

He called Mo Kui to the side, stuffed his waist card into his hand, and admonished, "Iron Bear! Send men out of the city on fast horses, and bring in all our men and horses. ”

Mo Kui agreed, let himself be a henchman when he was a salt lord, snatched a horse from Yongning Bing on the street corner, and ran out of the city.

Lao Meng turned his head and said: "Old Song, together with General Liu, you escort Fan Tai and Lord Xue to the Luoyang Army and command in the center. ”

"I'll take someone to the palace to have a look!"

Lord Xue was sincere in his heart, and he had a good impression of Lao Meng. Zhao Tianze didn't have anything to say, this Song Jizu is obviously a master who can fight, and Lao Meng's favor is big enough.

Wu Che carried Zhu Ju and ran wildly, as fast as wind and fire, sweeping through several streets, and he was about to enter the encirclement network outside the palace.

He was in a hurry to go, and he was worried about his safety, and his subordinates were inevitably not clear, so that Zhu Ju's bile was about to spit out, and he wanted to shout for Wu Che to let him go, but he poured a few mouthfuls of cold wind into his mouth, choking his eyes, and he was miserable along the way.

Zhu Ju has been pampered since he was born, and he is incompetent in brocade clothes and jade food, and he was carried to the ground by the monk in a daze. Wu Che put down Zhu Ju with an unkind expression and said, "Little County King! One of your guards and horses is right in front of you, hurry up and give the order to attack the palace! ”

Zhu Ju was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "This, this ......" Looking at the face of the black-clothed monk, his eyes were fierce enough to eat him.

Hearing his own army in front of him, thousands of people were already restless, and then thinking of Luo Pinghai's unfulfilled ambitions, a stream of blood surged up, and he said: "Okay! ”

Zhu Ju, the king of Yongning County, lightly leaned on the wall beside him, softened his rapid heartbeat, and the little king of the county strode towards the three thousand soldiers in front of him, and Wu Che followed him like a shadow.

The soldiers besieging the royal palace, as soon as they saw the county king who appeared from the street, everyone cheered in unison, swords and spears danced, looking forward to the order of the little county king to attack the palace of the king of Yi and change the king, these cronies and soldiers all thought about the first achievement.

Wu Che secretly thought in his heart that the morale was available, and how far he could go depends on Zhu Ju's luck. Father and son fight, no matter which side wins, it is good for Shaolin. ”

Zhu Ju's face was pale, but his cheeks were a little bloody from excitement, and he was listening to the confessions of several lieutenants and military attachΓ©s under him.

The little king knew that although the monk behind him saved him from danger, he may not have good intentions.

His previous estimate of the Shaolin Temple was very insufficient, and he only knew that it was Luo Pinghai's master, a martial arts sect that could provide arm assistance.

But Luo Pinghai is Luo Pinghai, and Shaolin Temple is Shaolin Temple.

Now Meng Yishange has killed his most proud subordinate, Luo Gongzi, who is relying on his military advisor.

He was forced to deal directly with Shaolin Temple, thinking that Wu Che was narrow all the way, and his gloomy and rude attitude, the monk clearly looked down on him. I couldn't help but feel angry in my heart, and secretly thought, "If you get the power of Guanluo, you will have to kill all those who resist this king!" The first one is that damn Meng Yishan! The second one is this monk. ”

Zhu Ju was sometimes panicked, sometimes fierce, and in an instant, he was covered in cold sweat, he took a deep breath, faced the palace with high walls in front of him, like a small city, and ordered several officers: "Attack!" ”

"King Fujun, Zhengda!"

Three thousand soldiers poured into the four gates of the palace like a tide, the inclined ladder and the rushing cart had already been prepared, and the sharp pillars cut from the giant wood carried the two-wheeled wooden cart. There are also seven or eight wrestlers at the main gate, lifting the civil and military generals who have been put down to get off the horse and strip the stone.

The two instruments collided with the closed door, and the iron blade copper ring emitted a "Boom!" under the impact. The door frames at the four corners were faintly loose, there were many bricks and stones in the corners, and the iron door in the middle was washed out of two pits by wooden pillars and stones.

Rushing back and preparing to impact again, the sergeants who couldn't wait had already taken the inclined ladder and climbed quickly onto the wall from both sides, and in an instant, hundreds of people stepped on the wall, and the Yongning Mansion army was inspired, cheering and shouting in unison!

"Bang bang!" The violent beans also sounded like a burst, a burst of gunpowder smoke mixed with the cold light of the crossbow burst, a sentry firearm battalion in the palace and two teams of crossbowmen, shooting in formation, half of the soldiers who climbed the wall were hit by the projectiles and iron sand fired by the muskets.

The screams were incessant. One of the surviving ones fell into the city walls, and was immediately chased up by a group of guards and hacked to death!

The palace occupies the terrain and shoots from a distance, the Yongning army has suffered a lot of casualties in several charges, and the offensive of the small county king is slightly blocked, but it can rely on the large number of people, and the attack is more violent, and the follow-up soldiers step on the corpses in front of them and rush up, and some of the injured and immortal people are holding steel knives, running to the enemy position with a body of iron sand, and slashing at the firearms soldiers with red eyes, and chopping two or three in a row.

Just enough to be stabbed all over the body by four or five spears, pierced through!

The hundreds of guards in the palace are divided into several pairs to respond to each other, the most elite group of people are wearing iron armor, all hands are spears, the tip of the spear is sharp, three or five people are in a team to swim around, several people combined to shoot the spear is in unison, even the martial arts master encounters this kind of formation is quite difficult.

Although the Yongning Army is greatly inferior, fortunately, it is also trained by the Ming Dynasty's military law, so that it will not collapse at the touch of a button, and the morale is high, and it will not retreat. Desperately shouting and attacking forward, the appearance of rushing forward and following up made the morale of the defending side shake a little.

The defenders of the palace counterattacked fiercely, blocking the wall with firearms and bows and arrows in the front, and the firearms that slammed into each other roared, and the arrows were sprayed like rain lines, and the people on the wall fell in rows, and were bombarded by muskets like a sieve, and blood flowers bloomed on their bodies.

On the flanks, the spears of the ironclad soldiers cooperated with the palace guards, and the firearms battalion was used to clear out the enemy soldiers who fell into the inner wall, and under the command of Wei Yuanhou, they formed a shrinking and moving pocket formation, effectively strangling the fierce offensive of the Yongning army.

The generals on the side of the little county king also have generations of military households, Zhu Ju can't fight, and the people below just let go of the command.

Seeing that the muskets and crossbow arrows in the palace were too sharp, he hurriedly diverted the team that was constantly grabbing the top of the wall, and divided into a part to storm the side gate of the palace. More than 300 shield swordsmen gathered in front of them as the vanguard, and launched another onslaught.

These people carried dozens of large shields that needed to be held with both hands, and dozens of sturdy soldiers who held the shields rushed up in the lead, stepping on the inclined ladder with both feet, and the huge shields were erected on the wall like half a door panel, as if the wall had been raised by half a zhang. Musket bullets and bows and arrows can't shoot through!

The sergeants jumped into the wall under the cover of a large shield, and formed a protective net inside to shield them from the rain of arrows. More than 200 shield swordsmen in the back grasped the tiger's head round shield, and the single knife in their hands surged up like a wolf and a tiger, killing the front row of firearms battalions by surprise!

Many people were chopped to death without waiting to resist, the blood on the blade was not dry, and the swordsmen rushed forward more than ten steps, and the dancing steel knife brought blood flying all over the sky, sprinkled like hemp!

In an instant, more than half of the firearms battalion was lost, and the morale of the Yongning army skyrocketed, and the follow-up army rushed into the palace through dozens of inclined ladders, impacting the enemy's battle formation like a mad tiger.

The ironclad army of the Yiwang Mansion formed a formation to meet each other, and narrowed the encirclement with a steady step, spears like a forest, and stabbed the shield swordsmen at the head of the enemy army. After breaking through the tiger's head shield, the momentum was inexhaustible, and even the people with the shield penetrated together, and dozens of shield hands were killed by shouting several times.

The enemy's counterattack was mostly blocked by the iron leaf chain mail, and a few sparks collapsed at once, which seemed painless and itchy. There are also swordsmen who hold their spears with shields, and step forward and stab them into the front door of the ironclad army, where there is no cover and death. The fierce battle between the two sides is like two fierce beasts that prey on food, tearing each other apart, and fighting for the outer wall of the palace like a tug-of-war. There were more and more corpses on the ground, and for a while, the sound of shouting and killing and drinking spread far away, shattering the silence of Luoyang City at night.

The battle was stalemate, and the fight was in full swing, which made Zhu Ju very anxious, walking back and forth, and frequently shouted angrily: "Quickly crash open the gate, crash open the gate!" "No matter how idiotic you are, you can see it, and if you don't break through the gate, let the army pour in. The palace of the king of Yi took advantage of the terrain to bury all his people by the city wall.

The gate of the palace had been struck a little crooked, and the heavy crashing wood and stones repeatedly crashed and roared, but the door stood on its own. At the beginning of the war, the gate was dismantled by the palace servants and half blocked by the stones, and a stone rockery for ornamental use in the garden was demolished, and the pillow was transported to the front of the battle and put on the gate. Ren is earth-shattering sound outside, and the little county king is helpless no matter how he shouts.

The more Zhu Ju looked at the battle situation, the more anxious he became, obviously the manpower was twice that of the defenders of the palace, but it was difficult to take the front door in one go, and several of his generals also divided their troops to protect the small county king, and lined up on the periphery to prevent the Luoyang guards from coming to reinforce, and they could not devote all their forces to attack one place for a while. For the first time, the little county king realized the hardships of the battle array, and winning the big position was not as easy as talking to Luo Pinghai on paper.

That father, who was high up and had been suppressing him, was so hard to fight!

On the stargazing tower, Zhu Zhanlong's face was very bad, and he asked Wang Fu'er beside him: "How did you transport so many ordnance into the city!" ”

I thought that children should not be afraid, but I didn't expect the bite to really hurt.

At this time, the Marquis of Wei Yuan had already personally gone down to command and supervise the battle.

Zhu Ju's face was a little red, and he raised his eyes to look at the pavilions and pavilions in the palace, separated from him by a wall, and gathered only dozens of zhang away, which was the stargazing tower where Zhu Zhanlong's king was located.

Zhu Ju felt a burst of weakness in his heart, what if he lost, he had the heart to surrender to his father and repented, but he was overwhelmed by fear. This time he made a big fuss, not to rape and kill a few people's daughters, to indulge his subordinates in the "trivial matter" of killing some people, just think about it behind closed doors, he was afraid that King Yi would want his life.

The rising shouts of killing, and the momentum of thousands of fierce attacks under his command, made him gradually confident that only a bloody battle to the end would have life! The little prince, who turned from cowardly to crazy, shouted: "Rush me!" The capture of the king's palace is rewarded for everyone, and it will never be lost. ”

Zhu Ju's eyes were bloodshot, the placket of his gorgeous clothes was also scattered, the nephrite inlaid belt was half crooked, and he lost a shoe on the road that Wu Che was holding narrowly, and he was screaming there in embarrassment.

is such a little prince, let the generals around him sigh in their hearts, although it is not to follow the wrong master, but also regretful.

Fortunately, they are all desperate for their own future and the interests promised by the little county king. No one cared what Zhu Ju looked like, and he commanded his soldiers to attack desperately. The soldiers under his command were all killed, screaming and running up the ramp, jumping down and rushing into the enemy line. The ironclad soldiers of the Yiwang Mansion rushed up to meet them, raised their guns and stabbed them to death, stabbed to death a high marquis and rewarded two taels of silver, killing more and earning more, and there was no need to say much about the high morale.

A hundred households who were overseers in the front came over to report: "The king of the county! If you can't attack hard, will you use artillery? ”

Before the war, the Yongning Army had prepared four cannons, weighing about 1,000 catties, with a range of one mile and amazing power. It's just that Zhu Ju took into account that he wanted to try his best to keep the palace building intact, so he temporarily used it as a backup. At this time, the offensive was blocked, and they wanted to launch artillery bombardment.

Zhu Ju's temples jumped straight, and the long-term attack had already made him angry, and he said viciously without thinking about it: "Push it out and bombard the stargazing tower!" ”

After a while, the four artillery carriages slowly mobilized to the main gate of the palace and the east gate of the main attack on the flanks.

I saw a cart pulled by four horses, with a cannon lying horizontally on it, and the words "Shenwei Invincible General" were engraved on the cannon.

This is the blueprint that Shaolin Temple helped Zhu Ju get from the border army, and the general cannon was privately cast.

Several teams of gunners were in position, loaded with huge lead pellets and gunpowder, and the muzzles of the guns were facing the palace!

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the cannon pellet hit a side hall on the side of the Star Pavilion!

Smoke and dust rose and rubble flew everywhere, scattering windows and doors into the sky. Immediately after that, half of the wall collapsed, and half of the pavilion was blown off by the bombardment.

The power of this thunderbolt shocked the soldiers on both sides of the battle.

Behind a few thunderous cannons, the four general cannons fired in unison, the sound was like a thunderbolt, and the entire Luoyang City seemed to be trembling!

The lead bullets that bloomed in the palace and the ironclad soldiers exploded, and these elite soldiers were also flesh and blood, and dozens of them were killed by a few cannons, and the defense that was as strict as an iron wall finally floated.

In an instant, the Yongning army made a loud noise, let go of the middle artillery positions and launched a fierce attack on both flanks of the main gate.

The little county king looked proud and looked very excited, and several generals were also greatly relieved, and they were depressed that they could not be attacked repeatedly, and commanded their soldiers to level the cannon muzzles, fill in the projectiles and slam the palace wall and the blocked gate.

These walls were built with a very strong stone grout, and when encountering this kind of siege artillery, they also collapsed at the touch of a button, and after a few rumbling sounds, in addition to the front gate was knocked down, the side doors on both sides of the wall were also opened.

After the gap was made, the Yongning army attacked more fiercely, and everyone was excited to fill the gunpowder too densely, and there was a huge shock, and thousands of pieces of broken iron flew together, but a general cannon exploded when it opened fire. Nearly 100 gunners and soldiers around him were sent to the western sky, and the blood was overflowing.

Before the battle, the hearts of all the troops were tight, Zhu Ju's face changed suddenly, and he felt unlucky in his heart.

The soldiers who operate the artillery are all henchmen selected from Yongning Mansion, and they are loyal and unconcerned, but they have not undergone a long period of training in the Shenji Battalion.

At this time, when I saw that the cannon was so dangerous, everyone was weak-boned! hesitated and did not dare to fill in the projectile to bombard the palace.

The commander of the management team went up and kicked and kicked him, but the artillery sergeant below was still trembling. The defenders in the palace rushed forward without the threat of artillery, and pushed back a lot of the front positions occupied by the Yongning army, and the little county king roared angrily when he saw this: "Hurry up and fire for me!" His eyes were as fierce as a wolf, looking at his subordinate generals.

The general in charge of the artillery team said, "The king of the county is crazy!" But the shelling really couldn't stop, so he drew the matching knife at his waist and led a few of his men to stand behind the artillery soldiers. With a shake of the knife in his hand, he commanded the gunners with murderous spirit: "Fill the medicine!" Slow hands and feet, take your sacrificial sword! ”

Someone supervised the battle in the rear, and the soldiers who drove the ducks on the shelves lamented that their lives were worthless, and they fought their hearts sideways! Reload the projectile and boom! The general's cannon roared continuously, shaking the buildings of King Yi's Mansion like a landslide!

The collapsed pavilion and the smoke and dust that filled the sky changed the entire appearance of this beautiful Zhu Pavilion and the palace with nine pavilions and nine turns.

"Fuck! This artillery is so powerful. ”

Meng Yishan and Mo Kui led a horse team of nearly 100 people, all draped, and stopped at the street corner far away.

The inspector vulgarly lamented the power of the firearm. His mount, the black horse, is suitable for military formations, and can be in battle without chaos in the midst of loud noises.

Mo Kui's face also changed, and he was a piece of powder under the gun, and he couldn't withstand the bombardment of his horizontal kung fu.

The two led the team here to watch the wind and look at the opportunity, waiting for the best moment to attack the Yongning Army.

If there is really no chance, Lao Meng is ready to lead the team to run away and join Zhao Tianze and them.
