Tiantang Splendid

Standing behind Li Zhi, Xiao Yu looked at the fluttering of the banner above her head, and felt that the cold wind in late autumn was blowing through her heavy clothes, and her whole body was covered with goose bumps.

Where did Youtunwei get so many artillery pieces?
How could Youtunwei have so many artillery pieces?

He has spied on the foundry bureau countless times, starting with the emperor and people around him, officials in the foundry bureau, and even from the Six Commanders of the Eastern Palace and the soldiers of the Right Tunwei...... From the subjugated slaves of the Nanliang royal family to the founding fathers of the Tang Dynasty, this I don't know how many storms and dangers he has experienced on the road. The secret to ensuring his success is actually very simple, nothing more than the word "cautious".

Because of his prudence, his official career has always been smooth. Even the moody and surly tyrant like Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty treated him with kindness. Li Yuan even regarded him as a humerus, and His Majesty Li Er also trusted him.

If he hadn't made clear the reality of the casting bureau, how could he have accompanied Jin Wang to abscond from the Taiji Palace and raise the flag of rebellion when King Jin had no advantage?
But something went wrong in the part where he was most assured...

Such a mistake is very likely to cause the worst choice in his life.

He looked at Chu Suiliang beside him in a panic, the two looked at each other, and then separated immediately.

*****
Cheng Yaojin, who was slowly advancing towards the circular mound, was stunned for a moment when he received the news that Fang Jun had defeated the left guard, then he frowned and let out a long breath.

Niu Jinda was very surprised: "The casting bureau has been spied on inside and out. It's no secret how much is produced, what kind of firearms are produced, and whether they are in stock. Where did Fang Er conjure the artillery?"

The artillery is not terrible. After all, although the service life is not very long, it is not a consumable after all. It is terrible to dare to pull out the artillery to bombard the left guard. Otherwise, it would definitely not be such an unrestrained bombing of the left guard, and there must always be a little bit left to face the more severe situation in the future.

However, the firearms of the Foundry Bureau are deeply feared by all parties. When the situation will not change at the beginning of His Majesty's death, almost everyone will focus on the Foundry Bureau, wanting to find out whether the reserves and production capacity of the Foundry Bureau can support the crown prince's boarding. The throne, sit firmly on the throne.

As a result, all parties got almost the same answer. The Foundry Bureau resumed work hastily, with limited production capacity and almost zero reserves...

Cheng Yaojin gritted his teeth, his teeth itching with hatred: "Liu Shi, that bastard is indeed a good dog of Fang Er, he is also Jin Wang's uncle, no matter what, he should belong to Jin Wang's lineage, but in the end he cheated Everyone, even King Jin."

Undoubtedly, only Liu Xun has the ability to deceive everyone in the Foundry Bureau, but Liu Xun and Jin Wang are real relatives. Once Jin Jin takes the position, Liu Xun will benefit the most, but he just listens to Fang Er's words and conceals it. The output of the casting bureau even deceived King Jin.

Otherwise, as long as you know that Youtunwei and Donggong Liushu are likely to be equipped with enough firearms, he would not dare to rebel if you lend King Jin two guts...

It's also weird, why is Liu Shi so devoted to Fang Jun?

Niu Jinda was silent for a moment, thinking that Liu Xi might not be devoted to Fang Jun, or loyal to His Majesty...

"Marshal, do you think the Sixth Commander of the East Palace is also equipped with firearms like the Youtunwei?"

"Hey, why do you care so much?" Cheng Yaojin sighed: "The only chance for King Jin to succeed is to break into Chang'an City to occupy the center, and perhaps rely on the support of the garrisons and clans in various places in Guanzhong to fight against His Majesty. The chances that we wanted to have both sides, to be up for grabs, are gone.”

Not only is there no such opportunity, because his behavior towards Qin Muchu has caused both the emperor and the king of Jin to complain about him, and now he must take decisive measures to stop the loss, otherwise when the overall situation is settled, no matter who wins or loses, there will be no good results.

Niu Jinda didn't complain at all, he was not good at such things, he always followed Cheng Yaojin all the time, so naturally sometimes he took advantage and sometimes suffered a disadvantage, and when he couldn't take advantage, he felt at ease, and if he suffered a little disadvantage, he would scold his mother, right?
"So what are we doing now?"

"Pass down the order, speed up the march, and storm the King Jin's army!"

"Here!"

Niu Jinda didn't even think about it, and immediately conveyed the military order to the whole army.

As the military order was conveyed, the soldiers of the left military guards who had been moving slowly began to speed up, and the cavalry cruising on both wings protruded forward in unison. The strict rebels charged away.

The war broke out instantly.

Braving the rain of arrows above their heads, the brave soldiers of Zuo Wuwei launched a charge, and the cavalry on both wings attacked the two wings of the rebel army. The goal was the same, and the joints of the rebel flanks were thrown into chaos.

But fighting in the era of cold weapons, the number of troops can largely make up for the lack of combat power. Although the rebel army hastily formed is basically equivalent to a mob, but after all, the scale of nearly 10 people is placed here, and the Shandong family is not without soldiers. The people, who set up a strict formation and concentrated on defense, made it impossible for the brave Donggong Liurate and Zuo Wuwei to make progress for a while.

But before Li Zhi could heave a sigh of relief, the Xue, Liu and Zheng coalition forces that had already penetrated obliquely under the Anhua Gate on the other side also launched an attack in due course, coordinating with the other two armies to form a three-sided siege.

Three elite troops launched a siege, and the rebel army was in chaos. If it hadn't been for the promise of heavy rewards from King Jin and Cui Xin, they might have been defeated and retreated at this moment.

But on the one hand, it is because of heavy rewards, and on the other hand, there is no way to retreat against the city wall. The soldiers have to grit their teeth and stick to their positions, maintaining the order of the array and not being overwhelmed by the enemy, struggling to support the battle...

Yu Chigong, a member of Chunming's sect, looked at the soldiers who kept climbing towards the city but were all repelled, feeling torn with worry.He also knew that the right guard had defeated the left guard with artillery, and his mood had fallen to the bottom. Now that the three-way army is besieging King Jin, it makes him even more frightened.

Defeat is only a snap of the fingers.

The only way out now is to capture Chunming Gate and enter Chang'an City, only then can we get out of the predicament of being besieged on three sides...

Life and death are at stake, Yu Chigong gritted his teeth and pulled out the horizontal knife, and yelled at Su Jia beside him: "You lead the army to attack the city yourself, if you can't break the city after half an hour, I will take your head as a warning to others!"

Su Jia was taken aback, but he also knew that life was in danger at this moment, so he didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly called the soldiers around him to unfurl the flag, rushed to the bottom of the city with a horizontal knife in his hand, and climbed up the ladder.

When the siege troops saw their lieutenants go into battle in person, their morale was greatly boosted, and they roared, red eyes and desperately attacked upwards.Naturally, the defenders on the city also saw the flag among the charging troops, and knowing that this was the main general of the enemy army, they set their attack targets on Su Jia's side one after another, and their arrows rumbled like locusts and rolling logs.

Su Jia put the horizontal knife in his mouth and held the wooden poles on both sides of the ladder with both hands, stepping on the crossbars under his feet, and quickly climbed up.Standing on the ladder, facing the arrows and rolling logs overhead, there is almost no room to dodge. Being shot or being hit is basically a matter of probability. To reduce this probability, the best way is to quickly climb to the top of the city. .

However, he has already been under the concentrated attack of the defenders on the city at this moment, and there are several times more arrows and logs above his head than others. No matter how fast he climbs, the probability of being shot or hit is greatly increased.

An arrow roared and hit his left shoulder. The sharp cluster of arrows pierced through the nail leaf, causing him to open his mouth in pain. The horizontal knife in his mouth almost fell off. Climbing a few steps, a rolling log came towards him from top to bottom. He was so frightened that he quickly let go of his hands, stepped on the crossbar on the ladder and exerted strength, and the whole person jumped up. The rolling log fell from under him, and he also lost his center of gravity and fell. The ground fell heavily on the ground.

Fortunately, there was already a thick layer of corpses on the ground, so it would be fine if you fell on it. Otherwise, if you were hit head-on by a rolling log, you would be seriously injured if you didn't die...

Although he gave up halfway, Su Jia was not afraid. He supported the corpse on the ground and climbed up, stepping on the ladder again silently with the horizontal knife in his mouth, and quickly climbed up.

The surrounding soldiers were infected by him, their morale rose again, and they began to climb desperately.

Because Su Jia attracted a lot of firepower from the surrounding area, although the probability of being hit was greatly increased, it also caused the rest of the soldiers to be ignored. Soon, some soldiers climbed to the top of the city and fought with the defenders.

They climbed up to the top of the city several times before, but they were all repulsed by the defenders without exception. This time, there were more soldiers who climbed up to the top of the city. Many soldiers climbed up.

With one last foot on the crossbar, Su Jia leaped deep into the top of the city. Before he landed, he took out the horizontal knife from his mouth, and slashed down on the head of a defender.

The sharp blade cut the opponent's head in half, and the red blood and white brains splashed everywhere. Su Jia resisted the arrow sore on his shoulder and shouted: "Follow me around, kill!"

Soldiers on the left and right quickly surrounded him, standing together with the red-eyed defenders, causing the defense of this section of the city wall to be almost empty. More and more soldiers climbed to the top of the city, and the defenders were defeated almost instantly occur.

Su Jia took the lead, brandishing a horizontal knife, charged forward, went straight to the horse path behind the tower, and then rushed down from the height, occupied the inner side of the city gate, and quickly gained control of the city gate.

A soldier cut off the rope on the winch with a knife. Amidst the sound of "quack", the suspension bridge was slowly lowered, and then the heavy latch was pulled out, and the two city gates were opened wide. Countless guards on the left poured in like a tide. , the defenders could do nothing but fight and retreat.

The Chunming Gate fell.

Yu Chigong, who was outside the city, was ecstatic when he saw the city gate opened, grabbed the soldiers around him, and said anxiously: "Quickly inform His Highness King Jin that the Chunming Gate has been captured, let him quickly come and follow me into the city!"

"Here!"
