Chapter 42: Vicious is the Most Reader(1/2)
The shells are not arrows, and there is basically no accuracy in hitting people. Zhao Yu knew that the shells could not hit him, but he still wanted to do it. The purpose was very obvious and shocking.
Of course, if the shell is left without paying attention to it, the soldiers behind him may have to lose a few.
This blow was shocking.
Zhao Yu was not afraid of firearms, guns and cannons, and not many people had seen it. Only Li Fuming's team of servants had seen it. After that, he came to crush all the way, and the Tatar army had no time to organize decent resistance, so he did not show such great power. Therefore, even though there were rumors that the soldiers from various military towns in Liaodong believed that Zhao Yu was a god of war, but I believe that not many people had such great power.
How can the flesh and blood resist the cannon fire?!
But now, the shocking feat is in front of you!
There were nearly 100,000 troops on both sides, with countless pairs of eyes staring at the battlements and cannons that were reflected back by shells on the top of the city, and listening to the screams, it was silent.
It seems as if time is still!
After a long time, these eyes looked at the horse standing in front of the formation, either frenzy, admiring, or horrifying!
Under the rising sun, the tall figure exudes a circle of red light, as if the gods descended to earth, with great force!
On the top of the city, Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, someone screamed: "Enjoyed Father!"
Then they all reacted and rushed down the city tower.
Zhang Xianzhong failed to hit Zhao Yu, but he was hit by the cannon. Fortunately, he was lucky. After shooting it, he was shocked and hit directly without being counterattacked.
But the fragments that smashed the gun barrels, gun mounts, and battlements hit Zhang Xianzhong with blood!
At this time, he was already unconscious.
When you get on time, the city wall is in chaos!
At this moment, soldiers came to report to the city, saying that they were all arrangements and had already taken their place.
Zhao Yu was overjoyed. Seeing the situation in the city, he knew that the fighter was right in front of him. He shouted loudly, rode his horse and rushed straight to the city gate!
Not that no one saw it on the city wall, but Zhang Xianzhong was seriously injured and unconscious, like a poisonous snake losing its head, and a plate of loose sand could not react in time. A few arrows flew away. Before they landed, Zhao Yu arrived at the city gate.
puff!
The huge iron cone bombarded the city gate, but it was like an iron rod inserted into fine sand!
This is a manifestation of the concentration of strength to the extreme!
Before, when Zhao Yu broke Shouzhou and Huoqiu, he never used cleverness and energy to break the city with brute force, and it was quite disturbing. Of course, such movements were more beneficial than disadvantages on the battlefield. On the battlefield, the greater the movements, the more it could shock the enemy.
However, such huge movements had a significant impact on Zhao Yu. When he broke through the city gate, the force recoiled and caused a violent wave of air. Within a few feet, even the cavalry riding horse could not bear it.
If the power can be vented in an open battlefield, it would be fine. Instead, it would increase the lethality. However, when the city gate is broken, the city gate is heavy and the power is reversed, most of the aftermath will be fully borne by Zhao Yu, one by one. Zhao Yu himself doesn't care, but the war horse under his crotch cannot do it.
The previous attack was enough to intercept the artillery shell and counterattack. It was enough to break the city gate and tilt it westward, so there was no need to do so.
So he used his skill to gather his strength at a point. After a cone, the huge octagonal heads were all trapped inside the city gate, and then shook and twisted. The tall city gate was immediately shattered and turned into pieces and fell to the ground.
"kill!"
Behind Zhao Yu, the army of various troops saw that the city gate had been broken, and immediately separated the front army. The soldiers roared wildly, and when the killing sounds were loud, the cavalry took the lead, and the infantry was behind. The archers shot out rain of arrows, covering the city walls as a cover!
"The city is broken!"
The army of thieves was suddenly in an uproar, like the headless fly, and was at a loss in panic.
The moment the city gate was broken, the end of Zhang Xianzhong, a bandit, was destined. Zhao Yu was the first to be a sharp sword, and even if Li Dingguo and others quickly organized an army to block it, they could do nothing.
In this world, no one can stop Zhao Yu's advancement.
This battle was easy to kill. It was not until noon that the dust settled.
Because Zhang Xianzhong was unconscious, Zhao Yu seized the opportunity to break through the city gate, causing the Xian thieves to collapse immediately. Xian thieves were defeated by Zuo Liangyu and went to Henan to join Li Chuang. There were only a few thousand old thieves under his command. As for now, they have been carrying tens of thousands of people, but they are all new thieves. The combat effectiveness of the new thieves who have just transformed from poor peasants can be imagined.
If you fight with the wind, you can still contribute some combat power in a swarm.
But Zhao Yu first used his flesh and blood to fight back the shells, causing Zhang Xianzhong to fall into a coma and go to the head of the bandit snake. He broke through the city gate and rushed into the city.
How can such a terrifying way for those new thieves at the bottom not be afraid?
So how can you not collapse?!
Seeing that the situation was over, Li Dingguo and others wanted to protect Zhang Xianzhong and escape. But where could they escape? They just fled to the city and were caught up by Zhao Yu. They all saw the King of Hell.
The bandits fled in all directions, but Zhao Yu made a comprehensive arrangement early and surrounded the city. The city gates on all sides were surrounded by large troops. In addition, the top leaders of the bandits suffered heavy casualties, and the snake could not do without a head. A pile of sand was dispersed. Even if they escaped from the four gates, they would be unable to break through.
Finally, piles of corpses were left outside the four gates, and the rest were all surrendered.
After explaining the matter of guarding the prisoners one by one, Zhao Yu found Yang He and said, "Quickly send a message to the prince to start and end the war. Please report the prince, and the pockets should be closed!"
Yang He did not dare to neglect, so he quickly found someone to make him interrogate.
In Bozhou, there was also the stronghold of Zhao Gongming's Trading Company. However, when Zhang Xianzhong's army attacked, he saw the opportunity and evacuated the city.
When Zhao Yu led his army to attack, the people from the business were waiting halfway.
They are just used at this time.
Not to mention the news. Zhao Yu captured Bozhou and captured Zhang Xianzhong's main bandits in one go, and then stationed troops to repair for three days. During these three days, he would be rewarded according to the merits and promoted according to the military merits, and the last time he seized, he would not mention it.
Three days later, Zhao Yu formed a large army and headed north to Kaifeng Prefecture!
...
When the Crown Prince Zhu Cihao received the report of Zhao Yu's battle, he heard that the thieves were destroyed. The thieves were all killed from top to bottom. They were overjoyed.
So while sorting out the war reports and reporting to the emperor, he ordered various troops to encircle Kaifeng.
The thieves have been sieging Kaifeng for nearly a month, but the defenders in Kaifeng City have tried their best to resist. After one month, the thieves have not obtained much advantage.
However, Zhu Cihao had already seen from the weakening of the offensive of the thieves and some other clues that the thieves had plans to retreat.
Zhao Yu's battle report came at the right time.
If you delay for another three or seven or eight days, if the thief reacts and withdraws directly, the previous tactical arrangements will be disappointed.
"The food and wages that the imperial court should have been transported have disappeared for half a month."
The prince sat on his head, with a subtle look on his face, and his fingers gently tapped the tabletop.
In the hall, only Wang Yisheng and Li Geng were present.
"What the worms do." Wang Yisheng smiled and said, "Why do the prince care? Just wait for the war, the prince will return to the capital with the power of the great victory of the thieves and kill some worms in one fell swoop."
The prince nodded and shook his head again: "These people from the Pavilion are all old foxes, which are not so easy to deal with. Besides, this battle has not yet been concluded. If there is any change, it will be a big trouble."
As he said that, the prince looked at Wang Yisheng: "Especially Ding Qirui's troops in Huguang, there are the biggest flaws."
Wang Yisheng stood up and folded his fists, laughed and said, "I will leave for the last time."
Prince Huanxi: "Xiao Wang also means this. I don't expect Ding Qirui's troops to play a big role, I just hope that there will be no problems with the pocket array."
Wang Yisheng bowed and said, "Don't worry, Prince, the last general will not disappoint Your Highness!"
The prince nodded: "Xiao Wang is looking forward to the good news from General Wang."
So Wang Yisheng left the hall and led five thousand elite troops, just along with the commander, he took a detour to Huguang.
Seeing Wang Yisheng leave, a trace of worry appeared on the prince's face.
Li Geng couldn't help but say: "With General Wang's attack, the troops of Ding Qirui from Huguang will definitely not cause trouble, and the prince doesn't have to worry."
The prince shook his head: "Xiao Wang is not worried about Ding Qirui. Ding Qirui is just a mediocre talent. It is easy for General Wang to suppress him. What I am worried about is a change in the court."
Li Geng frowned when he heard this: "Is there any important news coming from Yuqing?"
The prince nodded: "The news came from the Yuqing military advisor that a few days ago the censor of the Censorate impeached Xiao Wang, saying that Xiao Wang had the intention to rebel."
"hiss!"
Li Geng couldn't help but take a breath: "It's so cruel!"
Then he said, "Your Highness is leading troops outside and supervising hundreds of thousands of troops. If the emperor hears the slander, he is afraid it will be..."
The prince shook his head: "I am not worried that my father will obey the slander."
After a pause, the prince's eyes were bright: "Because when I asked my father to suppress the thief, I had a full-hearted and detailed talk with my father for a night. I know my father's intentions, and my father also knows my intentions. What I worry is that because the government is controlled by those worms, my father is blocked from watching and watching!"
He sighed: "I am even more afraid that the borers in the court will falsely pass the imperial edict!"
The prince stood up, paced with his hands behind his back, his eyes a little confused: "The twelve gold medals of Yue Wumu are vivid in my mind."
Li Geng was immediately silent and his brows frowned into a small hill.
...
As Zhu Cihao guessed, when the victory arrives in Beijing and the emperor is so happy, under the calm lake, there is a surging undercurrent.
But what Zhu Cihao never expected was that the borers in the court were even more ruthless than he thought!
In the middle of October, the emperor suddenly became sick, unable to speak, and unable to move!
The palace was in chaos.
Therefore, the cabinet completely took over the government on the grounds that the emperor could not manage the government.
Three more days later, the emperor recovered from illness and died.
The cabinet then discussed the matter of the prince's ascension to the throne at the court meeting on the grounds that the emperor was about to die and the country could not be without a master for a day.
