The effective firing range of the cannon reached 1500 meters, and the maximum firing range was 2.5 kilometers.

It is not within the range of the bow and arrow, and no matter how much the archer shoots, it will not be able to hurt the gunner.

Rumble!

Ten Shenwei cannons fired in unison again, and one of the cannonballs fell on the top of the city, blowing up the flesh and blood of the soldiers on the city.

Xian Si and the others were almost hit by the fragments of the explosion, causing them to collapse to the ground in fright.

They hadn't recovered yet, and the city wall finally didn't hold up, and was blown down.

"Kill!"

Li Jing pulled out his saber and swung his sword straight ahead!

"Kill!"

Under the leadership of Han Shizhong, the 20,000 Beiwei army launched a fierce attack on Xiangzhou City.

Outside the city of Xiangzhou, shouts of killing were everywhere.

The first to charge was the cavalry of the 8,000 Beiwei Army, like a torrent of steel, sweeping the world, and the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, sweeping everything.

Twelve thousand Beiwei infantry followed, rolling in like a monstrous wave.

The beakers were menacing and their morale was high, and the defenders, who had already been frightened, either fled or laid down their arms and surrendered.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Xian Si and others chose to surrender.

Li Jing led the army into the eastern capital and ordered the army to enter the city, not to harass the people in the city, and not to take a stitch in the city!

Put Xian Si and others in prison, wait for the fate, welcome Li Xian outside the city into Xiangzhou City, let Li Xian reset in Xiangzhou City, and announce to the world that he will march into the eastern capital in the near future and eradicate the traitors in the court.

In September of the fourth year of the arch, Li Jing led 20,000 Beiwei troops to conquer Xiangzhou, supported Li Xian's reinstatement, and continued to use the name of the holy year. Li Xian crowned Li Jing as the general who protected the country, and increased the number of food households by 10,000!

……

Three days later.

Eastern capital, inside the Ziwei Palace.

Empress Dowager Wu Cao sat on the dragon chair, listening to the minister's report, and the old man's face showed a trace of anger.

Just now, I received a report from the south that King Xu Li Sujie and his son had rebelled, had taken the land of Jingxiang, and were preparing to march into the eastern capital, and even other clans of Li Tang, Li Zhen and his son, the king of Yue, responded to Li Sujie's call and rebelled against her together.

Shocked!

No one thought that Li Sujie, who had always been submissive to the Queen Mother, would dare to raise the anti-flag.

However, what shocked them even more was that the rebels conquered the city of Xiangzhou, which was defended by tens of thousands of troops, in less than a day.

At this moment, the Praetorian Guards broke into the main hall and the latest battle report came.

"Li Jing led an army of 20,000 to the north, Xiangzhou City was lost, and on the same day, Li Xian, the king of Luling, was reinstated, and the heir of the Yuan Dynasty was changed!"

Manchao was shocked!

The Queen Mother was almost shocked by this exciting news, and her mentality almost collapsed!

"Queen Mother! Li Jing's wolf ambition is rebellious, and he is willing to lead his troops to recapture the eastern capital and kill Li Jing, a chaotic minister and thief!"

The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Wu Sansi stood up and said.

The Wu family and pro-military officials also stood up one after another to support Wu Sansi.

They think that Li Xian's army of 20,000 must be a rabble, and if they can take the eastern capital, it must be that the eastern capital has come out of the internal response and opened the door to Li Xian, so that Li Xian can successfully capture the eastern capital.

Otherwise, with a few thousand soldiers and horses in the eastern capital, it would be enough to exterminate Li Xian's rabble.

Wu Sansi went to deal with Li Xian this time, and this credit is no different from that of Bai Xian!

Everyone cast envious glances, but no one dared to take credit with Wu Sansi, who made Wu Sansi the queen mother's beloved nephew.

Wu Sansi was very favored by the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was also willing to let Wu Sansi make contributions.

However, the preparations for Empress Dowager Wu's accession to the throne and the title of emperor still need Wu Sansi to preside, and the matter of leading troops to quell the rebellion is still handed over to other ministers.

So she looked at the ranks of military generals and said, "Zuojin Wuwei General Qiu Shenxun!"

"The minister is here!"

The named Qiu Shenqi immediately went out to salute.

"Zuo Jin Wuwei General Qiu Shenxun is the general manager of the Qingping Road march, leading 100,000 troops to crusade against the rebels."

Empress Dowager Wu Cao directly asked Qiu Shenqian to lead the troops to quell the rebellion.

Qiu Shenyun was overjoyed and hurriedly received the decree to thank him! This time, he must behave well, so that the Queen Mother will be impressed by him, and it will not be easy to become an official and become a knight.

However!

They all ignore a very important issue.

That is how Li Jing's 20,000 troops opened the impregnable Xiangzhou City in a short period of time?

They thought that Li Jing was very weak, and if he could take Xiangzhou City, he must open the city gate so that Li Jing could successfully take Xiangzhou City.

They didn't know anything about Li Jing's strength, which led them to think that it would be easy to mobilize only 100,000 troops to destroy Li Jing's rebels.

……

Hammer the arch in September of the fourth year.

Qiu Shenqian mobilized soldiers and horses from various prefectures and counties near the eastern capital, gathered 100,000 troops, and confronted Li Jing's 20,000 troops in the Yangtze River Valley.

Before Qiu Shenxian's 100,000 troops could launch an attack, they were heavily bombarded by Li Jingjun's Shenwei artillery, suffering heavy casualties, and Qiu Shenyun had to give an order to retreat.

The Beiwei army was quietly lined up on the high slope, the banner was hunting in the wind, the smoke and dust were billowing in the distance, and the army of Wu Sansi retreated in panic.

Han Shizhong saw that the imperial army was retreating, returned with his own soldiers, and went straight to the camp of the Chinese army.

Entering the camp of the Chinese army and coming to Li Jing's military tent, Han Shizhong saw his master Li Jing, who was hugging his sister in his arms, listening to the music, so uncomfortable, where was there a little bit of war, people who didn't know thought he was here for an outing.

"See the Son!"

Han Shizhong bowed to Li Jing.

"How's it going?"

Li Jing asked the girls in his arms to get up, waved them down, and didn't affect him to talk about big things.

"The enemy has retreated, and it is estimated that there will be another attack for a while and a half, but we don't have many shells!"

Li Jing frowned after hearing this.

In this way, the soldiers can only be bruised to kill the enemy, and the shells will be left to blast open the gate of the eastern capital.

"Han Shizhong, you led eight thousand cavalry to attack the enemy, and I will follow and cooperate with you in the attack!"

Li Jing ordered.

"Shizi, the enemy army has 100,000 troops, and the last general is worried about ......"

"Don't worry, Qiu Shenyun will only slap his beard and shoot his horse, and he has no ability to lead troops to fight at all, our army is the elite of a hundred battles, and it is not a problem to defeat Qiu Shenyun with one enemy and one hundred."

Li Jing waved his hand, and he didn't pay attention to Qiu Shenyun, who could only slap horses, except for slapping horses, killing good people, and framing others.

Other generals were promoted to become generals by virtue of military merits, but he Qiu Shenqian became a general by kneeling and licking Wu Meiniang, being a cool official and being a dog for Wu Meiniang.

"Yes, Shizi!"

Han Shizhong took the order and left.

Han Shizhong summoned the cavalry of the Eight Thousand Beiwei Army, mounted his war horse, and shouted at the Eight Thousand Cavalry:

"Back cavalry, kill the enemy with me!"

Eight thousand horsemen immediately turned over their horses, rode their horses and followed Han Shizhong out of the Eastern Capital, the sound of horses' hooves roared, and they killed the army of Qiu Shenqi.

Subsequently, Li Xian led 12,000 foot soldiers of the Beiwei army, followed behind Han Shizhong, and cooperated with 8,000 cavalry to kill the enemy.

Han Shizhong led 8,000 cavalry, like a sharp knife, stabbed into the chest, tearing the enemy apart.
