Chapter 192: Battle of Chang'an Township (4)
The Commander asked, what now? Is it still going as planned? ”
Servitude asked.
Li Zhao paced back and forth, his eyes staring in that direction, and he was silent for a long time.
If, according to the slavery theory, the thieves attacked separately, it would be difficult for the anti-aircraft guns to strike accurately, although its power was very strong, it could only explode in a certain range, and it was impossible to blow up a large area with one shot.
And this is also in the case of the thief army without precautions, once they know the horror of anti-aircraft guns, they will be guarded against.
For example, once the artillery shells are discovered, they will lie on the ground or quickly evacuate, which can only be an empty sound, and will not have a good effect on destroying the enemy, so it will naturally lose its effect.
In this way, it will be impossible to repel tens of thousands of people with a few hundred people, and even be captured because of the exhaustion of shells.
This is not what he wants to see, and it must not happen.
"Young master, the commander suggests that you give them a taste of the power of anti-aircraft guns and take the opportunity to scare them off."
Seeing the young master's pensive appearance, the servant whispered.
"No!" Li Zhao hurriedly waved his hand, "Let me think about it again." ”
The power of the cannonballs is very terrifying, and it is very difficult to use the current situation to deter the thief army and make them withdraw, after all, the loss of 20,000 people on the first two occasions cannot shake their desire to attack, how can it be done with a single cannonball?
Li Zhao's steps were slower, scratching his head twice from time to time.
"What else is there to think about, since you can't do it, just let it go and wait for the time to come." Shang Xin saw that Li Zhao's frowning look was very ugly, so he said it casually.
He did not think of these words himself, but His Majesty said them, and after hearing them a lot, he naturally remembered them in his heart.
"Can't do it, let it go?"
Li Zhao suddenly paused and stared at Shang Xin fixedly, as if he was about to dig out something from his words.
The next moment, there was a plan in my heart.
Yes! Since he can't do it, why not let it go, his original purpose was to keep Chang'an Township, and the east did not pass directly through Chang'an Township, but passed by, so as to bypass the south and go directly to Xianyang.
In other words, if the target of the thief army is not Chang'an Township, then it doesn't matter if they let it pass, as long as they don't target Chang'an Township.
As for Xianyang, it has high walls, and if they want to take it, they must attack the city, and the siege will gather together, and then it will be the best time for anti-aircraft artillery to strike.
Thinking of this, Li Zhao instantly relaxed a lot, and immediately ordered: "Tell Wuquan immediately, let him retreat to the border of Chang'an Township, if the thief army wants to enter our land, open fire, if not, let them go!" ”
"Yes!"
Receiving the order, the servant immediately left.
"So what's next? Do you want to go back to the palace right away? Shang Xin did not forget his mission, and he asked this to mean that he wanted Li Zhao to follow him into the palace quickly.
Moreover, the thief army has not yet stepped into the manor, and it is too late to leave.
Li Zhao waved his hand, "Don't worry, wait until they pass Chang'an Township." ”
"No, after they have passed Chang'an Township, they will come to the city, under the 30,000 army, we will soon enter the city through the city gate."
Shang Xin did not agree with Li Zhao's approach.
Li Zhao gave him a comforting smile and said, "It's okay, since I dare to stay in Chang'an Township, I naturally have a way to enter the city, and I don't have to go through the city gate." ”
In fact, when he left Xianyang City, Zhang Han told him about the crooked path into Xianyang, which few people knew, in fact, he ordered Ah Chao to transport some weapons into the city and secretly entered from this path.
"Oh!" Shang Xin's eyes lit up, he had served His Majesty for more than ten years, and he really hadn't heard of the crooked path in Xianyang City, but at this critical juncture, Li Zhao couldn't lie to him, so he chose to believe it.
"Very good!"
To the east of Chang'an Township, flat land and dense forests are interspersed, because there are few people walking, and the road is very rugged.
Wuquan did not fight back according to Li Zhao's orders, so he let the thief army pass, and even so, the thief army walked for an hour before passing.
When he appeared on the avenue, Cao Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
The avenue has been leading to Xianyang, under the renovation of Chang'an Township during this time, the road is very smooth, very wide, and there is no trace of being specially dug up.
That is, they are safe and no longer have to worry about whether there will explode underground or if horrible liquids will fall from the trees.
Through Chang'an Township, it means that the task of the bus generation is about to be completed.
At this moment, all 30,000 families are gathered here, changing the team of ten people just now, separated by a few zhang formations, all gathered together.
"General, ten miles from Xianyang is Xianyang, let's hurry up and complete Xiang Gong's explanation as soon as possible."
was able to pass smoothly, thanks to the clever plan of the military advisor, and the military advisor spoke a lot more energetically, urging Cao Yang.
But Cao Yang didn't react, and stared back at Chang'an Township not far away.
It was a renovated old courtyard, empty of people, but lively and well organized.
"I heard that Chang'an Township is very rich, but it is like this, this Li Zhao is very deep!"
"Humph! Since I am allowed to appear here, no matter how deep he hides, it will be in vain, and he will destroy 20,000 people, and I will let him taste what it means to be destroyed. ”
Cao Yang said fiercely.
The military advisor shook his head when he saw it, after this hour of caution, he still couldn't change Cao Yang's heart to ruin Chang'an Township, so he didn't say anything anymore.
Of course, he also has his own careful thoughts, Chang'an Township is so rich, it is also appropriate to take the opportunity to plunder something, after all, they are thieves.
Thieves take everything for granted.
What's more, when you look at the layout of the manor, you are obviously defenseless, and if you don't rob it, you will be ashamed of the 30,000 army.
"Brothers, Chang'an Township destroyed 20,000 people in me, I can't swallow this breath, I guess you can't swallow it either, why not grab it and burn it again."
"Good, good!"
These words aroused great repercussions from everyone, and the echo was loud.
Still, there are people who are worried, "What if there's something hidden in it that will explode?" ”
When everyone heard this, their faces changed, and they were too excited just now to think about this.
Cao Yang waved his hand indifferently, "No, their terror weapons have been used up, otherwise we wouldn't have come here so smoothly, and you see."
He pointed to the uninhabited manor, "There is no one, let alone any defenses, presumably they have all run away." ”
"In that case, we're going to destroy it."
"yes, ruined it."
Cao Yang was very satisfied when he heard it, and waved his hand, "Listen to my order and ruin Chang'an Township." ”
Suddenly, 30,000 people poured into the manor like a flood that burst the embankment, and the pace was quite messy, and there was no such thing as a soldier at all.
From a distance, Li Zhao looked at this scene, very angry, he originally thought that the thief army would immediately step into the road to Xianyang, in order not to arouse the disgust of the thief army, but also deliberately let everyone gather and hide, but they didn't know that these people were difficult to change their thief nature, and they still wanted to destroy Chang'an Township.
He overestimated the greed of these people.
In the manor, he did not transfer his family wealth, and the family business did not move at all, if he was really trampled on by these people, Chang'an Township had to start all over again, this must not happen.
Otherwise, the practice of leaving Xianyang without authorization will be in vain.
At this moment, the thief army is like a wild horse on the loose, surging everywhere.
"This is where paper is made! Looking at his thousands of papers, he is really rich, and if I can move them all, how much will I have to sell. ”
"Brothers, just move out."
"And these seedlings, which grow so well, that since they can't have them, they destroy them."
Cao Yang held a stack of paper in his hand, looked at the seedlings in front of him, and immediately ordered, "A thousand people will be destroyed." ”
Suddenly, thousands of people poured into the field, stretched out their hands and pulled them up, and they pulled them out very vigorously, as if they had vented all the depression they had suffered before.
"General, I found a lot of gold in the manor, I can't count it, now we will send it."
Suddenly, someone ran out of the manor, shouting happily.
"Gold?" Cao Yang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly threw away the paper in his hand, and rushed out with an arrow and went straight inside.
What did he rebel for, wasn't it for gold?
But at this moment, I suddenly heard several muffled sounds, which were not loud and should have come from not far away.
Someone shouted, "General, look what it is, it's black, it can fly, and there's smoke behind it." ”
Exactly, it flew up from not far away, spun in the air, and then came towards them.
"They're coming at us."
Everyone was curious when they heard this, and hurriedly looked up, and sure enough, there were several black dots coming in this direction, and more were rising on the other side, and the direction was also this way.
"What is this? Could it be the stones they threw at us? ”
There is speculation.
At this time, there was a loud shout, it was the military advisor.
"It's not good, it's a stone, presumably they still have a trebuchet, quick, get out of the way, don't get hit."
The front of Chang'an Township Manor is vast, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, and it is easy for them to get out of the way and avoid the location where the stones have fallen.
But they were wrong, it was not a stone, it was a cannonball, something they had never seen before, something they had not expected.
The first few shells fell to the ground with a whistling and did not hit anyone, slamming into the ground.
Someone saw it clearly and exclaimed.
"This is not a stone, but iron, Chang'an Township is really rich, and it is a waste to use iron as a stone!"
You must know that iron is relatively expensive nowadays, and it is even more rare, except for agricultural tools, it is a weapon, and it will never be thrown as a stone.
However, they ignored one point, the stone hit the ground, and it was just smashed, but the iron weapon did not stop when it landed, and it was still smoking, as if there was terror brewing, and then, the people in the distance only felt a roar in their ears, and there was a bright light in front of them.
Prosperous!
A loud bang came from the iron vessel, and the people around couldn't even scream, and the whole person flew out, fell to the ground, and whined on the spot.
More than a dozen people around him fell to the ground, some with broken hands, some with blurred flesh and blood, and even more ...... For a while, no one dared to look at it again.
It's terrible.
Suddenly, horror filled everyone who saw it, and a deep sense of fear spread through the limbs, so much so that they forgot to react.
Immediately afterward, other iron weapons that fell from the sky also fell, and they exploded in an instant, and everywhere they went, flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Seeing hundreds of people fall to the ground, they could no longer suppress their horror and took refuge in the distance, but no matter what, more and more iron weapons came from the air, so much that they were like big birds flying in the dense forest, chirping and skimming.
"What the hell is this thing, where did it come from?"
Constantly people fell to the ground, some died, Cao Yang was awakened by the confusion of gold, and screamed, but no one could tell him where these things came from, as if they appeared out of thin air, but such a terrifying thing could not appear out of thin air.
He looked in the direction where the iron was flying, and when his gaze bottomed out, he suddenly saw that there were about two hundred people standing there, and he couldn't see their expressions clearly, but there was something in front of him, and something was being placed in it, which seemed to be very heavy, and then something flew out of it and came in the air.
"It's them, the people of Chang'an Township."
Seeing more and more great horrors happening in front of him, like thunder roaring, more people fell to the ground, he was afraid.
"What the hell is this?"
His face grew more and more terrifying.
As soon as this object is put in, it can fly up, and finally it will explode on the ground, and more than a dozen people will fall to the ground in an instant.
"The big killer, it's definitely the big killer."
No one listened to Cao Yang's nonsense, and there were explosions one after another, but the enemy could not be found, and the thieves were all crazy, and they fled the scene one after another, but they couldn't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest.
Someone finally discovered the horror of this iron weapon and shouted: "Oh no, this is an even more terrifying killing weapon, everyone run, get out of here." ”
Suddenly, the whole scene fell into chaos, and the rumbling sound kept appearing, and people were constantly killed, with stumps and broken arms, and the entire manor was traversed, and some were trampled to death in the chaos.
From a distance, this is a meat grinder, the cannonballs are the meat grinder, the messy crowd is the meat block, the meat is pressed, the meat is rolling, and the blood is splashed.
No one is scared.
Finally, someone cleared the direction, pointed to the avenue outside the manor, and shouted, "Run this way, away from this place." ”
When someone points the way, more people follow.
However, no matter how they run, there will be iron weapons falling on their side, and then it will explode, whining on the spot.
"Quick, all part, go over there."
Cao Yang couldn't bear to see this scene again, so he drew his sword and shouted to the sky, "This terrifying thing is sent by them, killing them can stop the attack of iron weapons." ”
"Rush!"
Cao Yang was the first to rush over.
When everyone heard this, they also rushed over.
Li Zhao, who was not far away, looked at this side coldly, but Shang Xin was beside him with a wide mouth.
He saw the incredible weapon again.
This device can soar up, it doesn't need to be driven by manpower at all, and it can explode when it falls to the ground, which is not much better than a trebuchet.
When a trebuchet throws a stone, it requires several people to help launch it, and the power required is endless, and when there is a shortage of manpower, it can no longer be fired, but this device is different, it does not require much manpower, and the iron tool is picked up and put inside, and the iron tool will automatically fly out.
What's even more terrifying.
When a stone from a trebuchet hits an enemy, it will not be effective if you avoid it, but this thing is completely different in that it will explode even if it misses a crowd.
He could clearly see that when it exploded, countless fragments seemed to be splattered, and the thief army fell to the ground.
Katsuno's trebuchet doesn't know how to go.
"Lee, General Lee," he said with such excitement that his voice trembled a little, "what is this thing called?" Can it be mass-produced? ”
He is a person who cares about the country, and when he sees this thing, he thinks of the army of the country, if the army has a large number of this thing, why not be afraid of the thief army of 150,000.
Li Zhao smiled, didn't mean to say much, his eyes were still very cold, and he only squeezed out three words: "Anti-aircraft guns, regimental extermination."
