please make me king

Chapter 459 Offense and Defense
It is no wonder that Zhang Shun is angry, because this year's drought has greatly reduced grain production.He traveled all the way from Dengfeng to Luoyang, and many people died of starvation on both sides of the road.

After entering Luoyang City, he saw more and more disheveled faces on the faces of the people, and he already had a vague feeling that this matter had something to do with King Fu.

Zhang Shun was originally born in Chenzhou in the west of Henan Province, maybe six or seven hundred miles away from Luoyang, and he still has the arable land of King Fu.This land of Luoyang was originally the place where King Fu ruled, and perhaps [-]% to [-]% of the nearby cultivated land belonged to Prince Fu's mansion.

Seeing that the thief was so arrogant, Zhang Shun had no intention of persuading him to surrender, so he ordered Zhao Lizi to lead people to break through the gate of the mansion, preparing to kill the general to enter.

When Zhao Lizi found a log, he was ready for the soldiers to pick it up and smash it against the city gate.But I didn't expect that the screen wall was in the way, and the soldiers couldn't use it.

Zhao Lizi disliked the barrier from Zhaobi, so he wanted to get someone to push him over.As a result, thirty or fifty people tried their best to push, but they couldn't push it.

Seeing this, Zhang Shun said: "Why do you have to go through so much effort? Who said you have to go through the gates to enter the palace? The rebel artillery has not yet arrived in time. There must be artillery and gunpowder in this city. You only need to blow up a courtyard, and you can enter soon." Yet?"

Zhao Lizi also reacted when he heard the words, and quickly ordered thirty soldiers to divide into three waves to find the armory in the city.

After a while, the thirty soldiers ran back happily carrying a coffin.They told Zhao Lizi that although there were no cannons in the arsenal here, there was still a lot of gunpowder and thousands of sets of weapons and armor.

They found gunpowder, but they had no utensils to hold it, so they carried a coffin from a nearby coffin shop, filled it with gunpowder, and brought it over.

Zhao Lizi frowned when he heard the words, and could not help scolding: "If you don't have any equipment, you can just find a few suitcases and wardrobes. Why did you bring a coffin here? It sounds unlucky."

Zhang Shun was deeply educated in materialism in his previous life, so he didn't shy away from these things, so he said with a smile: "It's easy to use, what do you pay attention to?"

Seeing that Zhang Shun wasn't angry, Zhao Lizi gave up and quickly ordered the soldiers to find a shovel, and dug around the corner of the wall for a while, digging out a square hole.Then, he ordered the soldiers to put the coffin in and blast the city wall.

Originally, the rebel army was not particularly good at these methods of using gunpowder. Fortunately, Zhang Shun recruited thousands of miners from Lushi and Song counties.

They used to use gunpowder for blasting in order to mine in the past, but they have a deep understanding of such skills.

Following the method of an old miner, Zhao Lizi half-buried the coffin in a corner, and then lit the wire from a distance.

Not long after, there was only a loud noise, and the tall and solid wall of Fuwang Mansion was broken, and a gap more than ten feet wide was blown out by the violent explosion of gunpowder.

Before the gunpowder smoke dissipated, Zhao Lizi gave a loud shout and rushed in with his elite troops.

Just as Zhao Lizi rushed into the palace, he waved away part of the gunpowder smoke in front of him, just in time to see a group of people messing around in front of him.

He stepped forward and killed one person with a shot, and shouted loudly: "King Shun's army was originally for the people. Those who surrender will not be killed, and those who resist will die."

In the end, how could this group of people listen to them?Seeing Zhao Lizi rushing in, they immediately dispersed.

Zhao Lizi was about to catch up, but another pair of men and horses arrived, desperately resisting Zhao Lizi and others.

These people only wore armor in the front row, and most of the people in the back row were dressed in ragged clothes.Bows, arrows and spears are not very good, Zhao Lizi is confident that he can kill this generation in a moment.

It's just that I didn't expect that they just fought for a while.This group of people suddenly dispersed to the left and right, Zhao Lizi was about to lead the soldiers to pursue him, but he saw several tiger squatting cannons and general cannons in front of him.

What do you do?It turned out that when Zhang Shun attacked Luoyang City, the incident happened suddenly, and the officers and soldiers were caught off guard, so they had no choice but to use the city wall to defend against it.

In this city, Wang Shaoyu, the chief soldier of Henan Province, and Wang Yinchang, the deputy envoy of military equipment, made a decisive decision. They led some guards to take weapons and artillery, and hid in the Fuwang mansion to prevent Fuwang from being humiliated by thieves.

When they heard that the rebel army was preparing to attack at the Wangjing Gate, the north gate of Fuwang Mansion, they deployed soldiers and artillery, ready to defeat and injure the current enemy in one fell swoop.

It's just that they made the same empiricist error as Zhao Lizi. They only placed soldiers and horses in ambush around the gate of the mansion, and placed the artillery behind the gate of the mansion.

They just waited for the rebel army to attack the door, and fired all the artillery to kill the rebel army, and then launched an ambush, flanking left and right, and defeated the enemy in front of them in one fell swoop.

It's just that Wang Shaoyu, the commander-in-chief, and Wang Yinchang, the deputy envoy of military preparations, had calculated thousands of times, but they couldn't figure out that someone would not leave, and instead blasted the city wall.

The place where Zhao Lizi exploded with gunpowder was exactly where Wang Yinchang, the deputy military envoy, was lying in ambush.Wang Yinchang and others were caught off guard, and were killed and injured many soldiers on the spot, and were even stunned by the bombing.

So Zhao Lizi took the opportunity to charge forward, and easily killed the officers and soldiers.It's just that Wang Shaoyu also took the opportunity to react. He saw that the rebel army had excellent armor and weapons, superb martial arts skills, and high morale, so he couldn't resist himself.

While ordering the soldiers to resist desperately, he quickly ordered the soldiers to bring the artillery over and prepare to shoot.

Fortunately, Wang Yinchang, the commander-in-chief, was all guard soldiers who had not received much training, and their cooperation was not very rigorous.

After Zhao Lizi and the others saw the artillery in front of them, they hurriedly retreated outside the mansion.Seeing this, Wang Shaoyu hurriedly urged the soldiers to light the fuse.

It's just that these soldiers didn't release the cannon, they just hesitated for a while, then touched the line of fire with the torch, and fled far away, for fear that the cannon would explode.

This back and forth gave the rebels time to prepare. By the time the officers and soldiers fired their cannons, most of the soldiers had already left the palace under the leadership of Zhao Lizi, and only a few soldiers were attacked by the cannonballs.

Fortunately, the soldiers were fully armored, only three or five were slightly injured, and one or two lost their lives.

After the cannon shot, Zhao Lizi quickly led his soldiers in and killed the commander-in-chief, Wang Shaoyu, retreating steadily.

Fortunately, Wang Yinchang, the deputy envoy of military preparations, was quite capable, and he had already taken the opportunity to gather the defeated soldiers and come to support them again.

There was not a big gap in the palace wall, Zhao Lizi and others were surrounded by officers and soldiers on three sides, they couldn't do anything, so they had to leave the palace again.

It's no wonder that Zhao Lizi felt uncomfortable. When he attacked the palace, Zhang Shun specially ordered to divide into small groups to attack each time in order to prevent accidental situations from being blamed.

The last time Zhao Lizi and the others were able to evacuate quickly when they were threatened by artillery from officers and soldiers, it was also thanks to this.If it wasn't for this, the front team would have retreated but could not retreat, and the rear team would have been unable to advance. They were in a mess and were killed by a burst of artillery from officers and soldiers.

Fortunately, Zhang Shun was not in a hurry, he just waited for Liu Cheng, He Jin and He Yilong to take down the gates of the cities and lead their troops to surround them on all sides.

Zhang Shun's old god is here, but there is a person in Fu Wang's mansion who can't sit still, and quickly suggested to Fu Wang: "Your Highness, the situation is urgent, please send treasury money to buy dead soldiers in time, so that the palace will not be destroyed by thieves! "

This King Fu is fat and strong, heaped on the throne like a big pile of meat paste, and evaded with a look of embarrassment on his face: "It's not that this king is stingy, it's just that there are small difficulties, and there are big difficulties. The great cause of my royal family How can you have enough food for him if you have to feed tens of thousands of people and don’t have enough food, clothing and housing for yourself?”

"Besides, it's your official's responsibility to protect the environment and the people, so what has it to do with my palace?"
