Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1665
Li Zhuangzhi was taken aback by him, and quickly asked, "What's going on?"

He knew that Li Qingshu was a calm person, and he never lost his composure like this, and when he was talking about Li Wanshan...a sense of foreboding rose in Li Zhuangzhi's heart.

Sure enough, Li Qingshu said sharply: "Tell me, that kid Wanshan...would it be possible to collude with the people of Tang?"

Li Zhuangzhi was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand Li Qingshu's meaning, he changed his mind and realized, he was startled, and said in a broken voice: "No way? You said that Wan Shan colluded with the people of Tang to lure us into rebellion on purpose." Don?"

If this is the case, it means that the people of Tang were already prepared to attack them, the descendants of the Wanchun Kingdom, but they were lurking so deep that they couldn't easily dig them out.Now that Li Zhuangzhi raised his troops, not only all the descendants of the Wanchun Kingdom would jump out, but even the native monkeys who had always wanted to improve their status would attach themselves to them. As long as all these people were wiped out, there would be no danger of civil strife in the Annan area for a hundred years.

It makes sense to think about it this way, but...isn't this too unbelievable?
Li Qingshu also finds this unbelievable, but looking at the current situation, and thinking about Li Wanshan's unreasonable attitudes before... Maybe it really is like this!

His face was pale: "But what if it is true?"

Li Zhuangzhi felt cold all over his body, thinking of all the main troops sent to Hengshan Pass, thinking of his son...

Huo Ran got up, called a clansman outside the door, and anxiously ordered: "Go to Hengshan Pass immediately, pass on our military order, and order the troops to withdraw from Hengshan Pass immediately and return to Songping!"

He couldn't sit still.

If Li Wanshan really colluded with the Tang people, wouldn't the tens of thousands of troops at Hengshan Pass be all in the hands of the Tang army?
That is the only remaining descendant of the Wanchun Kingdom, and his grandson of Li Zhuangzhi...

"Report-"

Before Li Zhuangzhi could finish his orders, some soldiers rushed over and shouted loudly: "Tang Jun...Tang Jun is here!"

Li Zhuangzhi turned around abruptly, and saw white sails dotted on the broad Red River in the distance, and warships leaped into view.Then, the white sails gradually joined together, and the broad river surface was covered by overwhelming sails, and the mighty navy fleet rushed straight towards Guluo City!
Tang Jun was really domineering, he chose any coastline to land on the coast without avoiding the truth, and just rushed upstream along the mouth of the Red River, heading straight for Songping County!

Li Zhuangzhi's heart sank as he watched the warships covering the entire river covering the sky and the sun...

Sure enough, he is the teacher of the king who is invincible across the seven seas!
There is no conspiracy or trick, and they don't even pay attention to any strategy and tactics. They just push forward in such an upright manner, crushing the rebels with thunderous momentum!
This is not arrogance, but absolute confidence in one's own strength...

The sound of trumpets sounded in my ears, and the thick clouds of battle covered the river, and the war was about to break out!
*****
"boom!"

More than a dozen warships lined up on the river, and then there was a dull explosion, a puff of black smoke rose from the bows of each ship, and it swelled in all directions like a hurricane, and circles of water were shaken on the river surface. wave.

The next moment, some of the chain bullets falling from the sky along the curved trajectory hit the city wall, and the bricks on the top of Guluo City were splashed.
Li Zhuangzhi stands on the top of the wall, his face is ashen.

This is the main force of the Tang Army Navy!
Look at the warships firing on the river, the kind of artillery that has only been heard raging on the sea is so powerful to attack the city!
Look at the troop carriers slowly approaching the shore waiting to land, and the densely packed soldiers on the deck...

Li Zhuangzhi knew that all his previous arrangements had come to nothing.

He thought that the main force of the Tang army's navy had already transported the rice back to Datang, but in fact, they were simply suspicious; he thought that the Tang army would cross the Hengshan Mountain and attack Songping directly, but they went upstream along the Red River and landed forcefully. !

The most important thing is the main force of the rebel army ambushing at Hengshan Pass at this moment. If Li Wanshan really colluded with the Tang people, wouldn't he be under the prying eyes of the Tang army all the time?
That's more than ten thousand young and strong, the seedlings of the ten thousand spring country!
"Send people to Hengshan Pass quickly and order the troops to return to Songping immediately. Even if they die, they must block the Tang army and drive them back to the sea!"

Li Zhuangzhi gritted his teeth to convey the order.

"Here!"

The soldiers responded, and immediately separated two people to leave quickly. When they got off the city, they led two horses, flew on the horses and galloped, and rushed all the way to Hengshan Pass to deliver orders.

"careful!"

Li Qingshu threw Li Zhuangzhi to the ground, and a chain bullet fell from the sky, flying over their heads.

The two shot puts are connected together by a chain, and they are pushed out from the barrel by the huge energy of the gunpowder. They carry huge kinetic energy. The two spheres cannot be separated because of the chain, and the huge kinetic energy makes it spin wildly. Several of the soldiers behind Li Zhuangzhi couldn't dodge in time, they were smashed to pieces and their flesh was flying all over the place.

There was a muffled sound of "Kachchacha", and the chain bullet smashed through the door frame of the wooden pillar like a broken bamboo, and disappeared directly into the tower.

Only the city was left in a miserable state, sawdust splashed and blood spurted, stumped limbs and broken arms wailed and cried...

Li Zhuangzhi got up in disgrace, his whole body trembling.

"boom!"

"boom!"

The surface of the river was filled with smog, and the thick black smoke had already enveloped more than a dozen warships, making it hard to see the outlines. Only the sound of cannons one after another vibrated in the ears of the rebels in Guluo City. In the middle, it is like a demon roaring from hell, and the raging shells are more like the chains of a judge, reaping life at will...

The rebels, who were originally full of morale, were silent and trembling under the bombardment of the Tang army's navy!
Who would have imagined that the invincible artillery in naval battles would have even more terrifying power in siege?

The impenetrable city wall was crumbling under the bombardment of the artillery, and the bricks were flying to shake the mountain, and all the rebels were scared out of their wits!
Tang Jun's artillery fired non-stop, and solid bullets, chain bullets, etc. flew from the river and landed on the head of Guluo City.The top and bottom of the city are all within the strike range of the Tang army's artillery. Until now, not a single soldier of the Tang army has landed. Just the raging artillery has blown up Guluo City to the point of collapse.

If it weren't for the fear of accidentally injuring the people in the city, it would be possible to raze this ancient Luocheng to the ground with just this kind of non-stop firing...

How to fight such a battle?
Li Zhuangzhi's face was ashamed. He had calculated thousands of times, but he didn't realize that Tang Jun's combat power was so heaven-defying...

I thought that according to the city, with the help of the geographical advantage, even the Tang army could fight to the death, but who would have thought that it would be the current situation?Not to mention the favorable location at this moment, if you continue to stay in the city, I am afraid that everyone will have to be buried with the city...

Li Zhuangzhi straightened his back, his eyes were a little distracted: "Give the order, everyone... withdraw from the city!"

He finally understood that the so-called desperate battle before was just a dream. How could such a Tang army be able to fight against it?

Only by withdrawing the top of the city and releasing it under the cover of the people in the city can we have the strength to fight.

The sad thing is that the restoration of the Wanchun Kingdom was under the banner of pleading for the lives of the people and benefiting the people, but now they have to hope that the Tang army will not kill the Han people in the city, and fight the Tang army with the lives of the Han people...

*****
Hengshan Pass.

The green hills are emerald, and the clouds and mists linger on the top of the hills, and the scenery is beautiful.

Li Wuqing led the local people to hide in the dense forest on both sides of the mountain road first, while Li Wanshan led his subordinates a little behind. The enemy's current urgency.

Li Wuqing looked at the slack Li Wanshan with disdain in his heart.

Leading troops like this, what right do you have to look down on me?Saying that we are indigenous monkeys, you Chinese dogs are not too strong, but a second-generation ancestor who relies on the shadow of his ancestors to be superior and inferior. When the Tang army goes up the mountain, we will show you what is bravery and what is power unacceptable...

Feeling contemptuous in my heart, another group of soldiers walked up from the northern mountain road in a loose manner.

There are 8000 soldiers in this team, and the long queue can't see the end on the rugged and winding mountain road. A young general in armor is riding a tall horse rarely seen in Annan, holding the handle of his knife and yawning. Day after day...

Li Wuqing's disdain grew stronger, that Li Zhuangzhi was a rare hero, but his grandson who had high hopes seemed to be worse than Li Wanshan.

All of a sudden, Li Wuqing regretted it a little. Perhaps it was an extremely wrong decision for him to lead the indigenous people to join the rebel army against the Tang army with great expectations...
