Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 946 Alarmism

Li Zhitong carefully looked at the situation outside the city, and he was sure that they were all cavalry without siege equipment. He turned his head and said, "Keep an eye on it. If the enemy attacks the city, immediately ring the alarm bell. Also, there is no military order from me." , no matter what happens, no matter who is outside, you are not allowed to open the city gate, anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded!"

After speaking sharply, Li Zhitong hurried down the city wall.

Under the city wall, the lieutenant led a group of archers to surround all the defeated troops entering the city, as if they would shoot arrows if there was any disagreement.

Song Ruiyuan's face was very ugly, and he asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

Li Zhitong came over with strides, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Song, at this critical time, I would have to be cautious, I hope I can be considerate."

Song Ruiyuan sighed: "Brother Li, do you think that I, Song Ruiyuan, surrendered to the Tang Dynasty? I, Song Ruiyuan, have been favored by the king and are loyal to the king. How could I do such a wolf-hearted thing?"

Li Zhitong also didn't think Song Ruiyuan would surrender to Datang, but it was hard to understand why Jian'an City fell so soon.

Li Zhitong said in a deep voice: "Brother Song appeared here, Jian'an City must have fallen. According to my information, the Tang army just started attacking the city today. I just want to ask, how could the Tang army capture Jian'an City in one day? "

Song Ruiyuan's face turned pale when he heard this, and he sighed: "I am ashamed of the king and the elders of Liaodong. Originally, I was motivated to stick to it for a month, and the brothers in the city were also full of morale. They vowed to stick to it for a month. Who would have thought that, Who would have thought..."

Li Zhitong knew that the key was coming, and quickly asked, "Who would have thought of what? What happened?"

Song Ruiyuan said as if mourning his concubine: "This time the Tang army brought a lot of artillery. We only heard that the artillery is very powerful before. Who would have thought that it would be so powerful!"

Li Zhitong couldn't help but get serious when he heard that, if Tang Jun really took down Jian'an City in just one day, it would be terrible.

Li Zhitong asked solemnly: "How powerful are Tang Jun's artillery? Tell me in detail!"

Song Ruiyuan said in a deep voice: "The artillery fires together, like countless divine thunders, and the range can reach six or seven hundred steps! And it is extremely powerful!"

Li Zhitong said in a deep voice: "Extremely powerful? The sound is like thunder? I don't believe that artillery can really break through the city wall!"

Jian'an City is close to the Central Plains Dynasty, has experienced countless wars, and the city walls have been repeatedly thickened. He doesn't believe that there is any magic weapon in this world that can break through the walls of Jian'an City!

Song Ruiyuan said in a deep voice: "It is true that the city wall cannot be breached, but the bricks and stones of the city wall are flying everywhere, with countless cracks. The soldiers have never seen such a battle before, and they were all frightened and demoralized."

"That's why I'm here to tell you, you must be on guard, don't be careless, and tell the soldiers clearly, otherwise you will be stunned by the artillery!"

Li Zhitong looked at Song Ruiyuan's heavy and serious face, hesitant in his heart, so far he was sure that Song Ruiyuan would not surrender to Datang, but he still had doubts about the power of the artillery.

The power of the artillery was probably very strong, but he felt that it would not be as exaggerated as Song Ruiyuan said.

He felt that the reason why Song Ruiyuan exaggerated the power of the artillery so much was to excuse his own fault!

In his mind, the artillery is nothing more than a trebuchet or other weapon, or a trebuchet with flames. It may indeed be quite powerful, but if it is said that the Tang army can capture Jian'an City in just one day, he Feel impossible.

There are no such powerful weapons in the world, not because Tang Jun's artillery is too powerful, but because Song Ruiyuan is too incompetent.

Li Zhitong said in a deep voice: "Brother Song, please go and rest for a while, I think the Tang army will surround Gaimu City in a few days, and I will have a good look at the Tang army's cannons at that time!"

Song Ruiyuan hurriedly said: "Brother Li, don't be careless! In my opinion, it's better to let the soldiers plug their ears with cloth strips, so that they won't be frightened by the sound of artillery, otherwise morale will be lost, and this battle will be impossible. beated!"

Li Zhitong said in a low voice: "This statement is absurd, let the soldiers plug their ears with cloth strips? Then how to issue the military order?"

Song Ruiyuan repeatedly said: "Oh, do you still need a military order? When the enemy army comes, just start fighting directly. Even if it is a little chaotic, it is better than being scared by the cannons and losing all morale. Otherwise, Gaimu City will inevitably repeat the same mistakes!"

Li Zhitong snorted, "Don't worry, Brother Song, we will never repeat the same mistakes! Brother, let's go and rest!"

After speaking, Li Zhitong turned around and left, and at the same time ordered his soldiers to beat drums and gather together.

Seeing this, Song Ruiyuan could only stamp his feet, he had said everything he had to say, and he didn't know how much Li Zhitong had listened to.

In fact, some people in the city are really panicking now, because everyone really didn't expect that Tang Jun would appear outside the city so soon, and they were still chasing and killing the defenders of Jian'an City.

Soon, all the defenders in the city gathered in the general's mansion.

Li Zhitong walked into the gathering hall with his face sinking like water.

"See general!" All the generals said in unison.

Li Zhitong came to stand in front of the commander-in-chief, glanced coldly at everyone, and said in a deep voice, "You all know what happened outside the city today! That's right, Jian'an City has fallen!"

Although they had guessed a long time ago, when they heard the result, everyone couldn't help but gasped and asked quickly, "General, when did the Tang army start attacking Jian'an City?"

Li Zhitong sighed: "It's today, Jian'an City fell after less than a day!"

There was an uproar in the hall, and it fell after holding on for a day?

How can this be?

Did the defenders of Jian'an City forget to close the city gate?

Or has there been a traitor?

Could it be that when the Tang army was about to attack the city, the city wall suddenly collapsed?

Otherwise, they really couldn't understand how Jian'an City could have fallen after only holding on for a day!

Facing the questions from the generals, Li Zhitong explained: "According to General Song's explanation, the Tang army has artillery, the sound is like thunder, and it is so powerful that it frightens the defenders of Jian'an City without morale, so that, It was breached in an instant!"

All the generals couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this.

"What weapon can be as powerful as thunder? Isn't this nonsense?"

"So what if it's really like thunder? What's so scary about thunder? Could it be that the defenders of Jian'an City are all women?"

"That's right, the defenders of Jian'an City are not as good as women, and they are even afraid of thunder!"

After hearing this, Li Zhitong raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said in a deep voice: "Although it sounds a bit unbelievable, but you have to be careful. After you go back, remind the soldiers, don't be afraid of any loud noises. , just defend the city step by step!"

"Don't worry, general, we men in Gaimu City will not be afraid of thunder!"
