Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 563: Pressure Blame Li Jingheng
Call!
Li Jingheng and Li Chongyi rode their horses and stopped outside Fengshan City.

As they stopped, the cavalrymen behind them also stopped one after another.

They were not far from the city gate, but not close either.

It was enough for the defenders on the city wall to see their appearance clearly, but they had no way to attack them at the first moment, and there would be no threat to their safety!

but.

It is precisely because of this that the defenders in Fengshan City are extremely nervous!
Tang Army!

Another Tang army!
These are obviously the reinforcements of the Tang army from the north gate!
Originally, there was a 50,000-strong Tang army outside the city, which was already a headache for the defenders and civilians in the city. Who could have thought that just a few days later, another Tang army came outside the city!
Moreover, looking at the flag hung by the other side, it seems to be the flag of the Tang Dynasty standing shoulder to shoulder with Wang Suchen!
How could the defenders in Fengshan City not know Su Chen's name?
In just less than two months, Su Chen conquered Goryeo and then forced Silla to surrender, even paying a heavy price for it.

And now, Su Chen has come to their Baekje.

This is definitely not a good thing for the defenders in the city!
"Listen up, defenders in the city. We are here in Fengshan City on the orders of Tang Dynasty's King Su Chen!"

Li Jingheng's voice was high and rang out outside the East City Gate, "The prince has ordered that God has the virtue of loving life and is unwilling to cause more killings, so he will give you a chance to mend your ways!"

"If you know what's good for you, open the city gates now and welcome the royal teacher. The prince can promise that he will forgive you for what happened and will not take your lives!"

"But if you are stubborn and keep fighting like the King of Baekje, then we will not be polite!"

"Once we take action, it will be a fight to the death!"

"Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your relatives, right?"

"I'll give you one stick of incense to think about it. After that, if you are willing to open the city gate, we can discuss it. If not, I don't mind letting you have a taste of the power of my Tang Dynasty firearms first!"

After finishing his speech, Li Jingheng couldn't help rubbing his throat.

I talked too much and my mouth was dry, so I immediately picked up the kettle and drank.

Li Chongyi was speechless, "Is that what the prince said?"

"Of course not!"

"Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Li Chongyi rolled his eyes.

Su Chen had explained everything clearly when he came, but after Li Jingheng got here, he insisted on talking a lot.

Are you annoying?

Li Jingheng chuckled, "If the defenders in this city really listened to me and some of them really wanted to surrender, how much trouble can we save?"

Li Chongyi shook his head, thinking that Li Jingheng's idea was too naive.

If the defenders in the city really wanted to surrender, they would not have waited until they came to kill them. They would have surrendered as early as when Kodo attacked Fengshan City.

"You know a hammer."

Li Jingheng said unhappily, "Even if our calls cannot make the defenders in the city surrender voluntarily, it can at least make them change their minds, right?"

"Let's not talk about anything else. With our two armies pressing in, do you think the defenders in the city are really willing to live and die with the King of Baekje?"

Li Chongyi pondered and shook his head.

How could so many defenders be willing to die for the King of Baekje?

The ants are still living an ignoble existence.

What's more, what about these garrison troops who were drawn out and those able-bodied men who were captured?

Li Jingheng smiled and said, "Is that right?"

"Among the defenders in the city, some are unwilling to die for the King of Baekje, so they will naturally surrender to us. However, since the King of Baekje has not shown any signs of defeat, even if these people want to surrender, they still have to worry about being killed by those generals."

"And what I just said planted the seeds in their hearts!"

"Perhaps now, they are afraid of the King of Baekje and their generals, and dare not openly express their desire to survive and surrender to us. But after we take action, do you think they will do so?"

Li Chongyi nodded thoughtfully.

Faced with the high pressure from the King of Baekje and the defending generals, the defenders naturally did not dare to speak their minds easily.

Because, if something goes wrong, their heads and the heads of their families will all fall off.

but.

Just because they don't say it doesn't mean they don't think so.

As long as the two armies of the Tang army put enough pressure on the defenders in the city, the thoughts in these people's minds will become stronger and stronger!

Even the King of Baekje was unable to stop the growth of their ideas under the high-pressure suppression of those generals.

Once the outbreak point is reached, even these defenders will be killed!
The Tang army could have captured Fengshan City without even having to take action themselves.

"I hope so."

Li Chongyi was not sure about Li Jingheng's thoughts.

But if Li Jingheng's plan really becomes a reality, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for them.

at the same time.

On the city wall, Heichi Changyu, who received the news, immediately brought Wu Mingfeng to the east gate.

Standing on the city wall, looking at Li Jingheng and others not far outside the city, Heichi Chang and the other two looked very ugly.

It turned out to be Li Jingheng and the other man under Su Chen’s command.

but.

The good news is that currently, there are only two of them leading the troops.

The bad news is that no one knows where Su Chen’s army has arrived or when they will arrive in Fengshan City.

"They are trying to persuade him to surrender..."

Wu Mingfeng said softly: "Although the soldiers don't have such thoughts at the moment, it is hard to guarantee that over time, they will inevitably have the idea of ​​surrendering."

Heichi often has a blank expression on his face. He naturally knows the pressure that Su Chen leading his army here has put on them.

Even if these soldiers didn't say anything, he could definitely see some clues from their faces and their eyes.

There has been a quiet change in their hearts.

"It's time!"

At this time.

The voice of Li Jingheng from under the city came again.

However, compared with before, this time there was a hint of gloating in Li Jingheng's voice, which was a bit strange.

"I really feel sorry for you. I clearly gave you the opportunity to choose..."

"However, your perseverance has shown me your faith. I hope you can continue to hold on and not change your mind."

Done.

Li Jingheng and Li Chongyi cheerfully called their soldiers and carried out the bomb launcher.

After seeing the actions of Li Jingheng and the other man, Heichi Changyu on the city wall couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, because he had an ominous premonition in his heart!

Especially when I saw a soldier put the bomb inside the launcher, the bad premonition became stronger.

"What it is?"

"I've never seen it before!"

"Could it be the firearms of the Tang Dynasty?"

"This……"

Although they had never seen the firearms of the Tang Dynasty, after seeing the actions of Li Jingheng and the other man, they couldn't help but speculate and doubt.

after all.

Their city gates are tightly closed, the walls are high and the moats are deep, and ordinary weapons cannot pose much threat to them.

firearm!

Heichi Changyu's face was grim and his eyes were fixed on the Tang army outside the city.

It was these things that defeated the coalition forces of the two countries, and they, along with the two generals, died in battle on the other side of the Han River.

Now, the Tang army once again took out firearms.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Wu Mingfeng gave a reminder.

Although he had never seen the power of the Tang army's firearms, he had heard about it many times. The most important thing was that the Tang army won victory after victory by relying on the power of these firearms.

With a reputation like that, isn't it normal to be careful?

soon.

The bomb is ready.

Li Jingheng glanced at the defenders on the city wall with a smile. It was time to give them a little shock. "I'll do it!"

Li Chongyi was eager to try.

Li Jingheng has just stolen the show, so now it’s his turn to have some fun, right?
Li Jingheng smiled and did not fight for it. Instead, he took a step back.

Li Chongyi ignited it, then aimed at the city wall and fired.

Whoosh!
The ignited bomb, under the thrust of the launcher, flew towards the city wall at an extremely fast speed.

"hidden!"

"careful!"

Everyone exclaimed.

dong dong dong.

As the bombs fell, everyone made the strange discovery that the Tang army's so-called firearms were not as powerful as they had imagined.

The bomb did not explode, but burned with a hissing sound.

It's just weird.

"How is this going?"

Black Tooth was protected behind by a shield bearer, frowning suspiciously.

The Tang army’s firearms didn’t seem as powerful as they imagined?

But, it shouldn’t be.

"and many more!"

"Don't get close!"

Wu Mingfeng warned loudly, "Be careful, there may be fraud!"

Hearing this, the two soldiers who were about to step forward to check, stepped back together.

As the fuse burned out, the bomb still lay there motionless, with no sign of exploding.

This made Heichi Changyu and others a little confused.

Could it be that this is not the Tang army's firearm, or is it a fake? ?

at the same time.

Li Chongyi, who did not hear the explosion, could not help but frown and look over, "What's going on? It's been so long, why hasn't it exploded yet?"

"Li Jingheng, did you do anything to the bomb just now?"

"Bullshit!"

Li Jingheng rolled his eyes. "I'm right in front of you. Even if I did something, can I hide it from you?"

This is true.

Li Chongyi scratched his head, "But why didn't it explode?"

"I don't know."

Li Jingheng turned his gaze to the soldier carrying the bomb, "Did the bomb go wrong because it was not stored properly?"

"no……"

The soldier was a little unsure.

Li Jingheng and the other man stepped forward, opened the box completely, and stared at the soldiers with cold faces.

The dozen or so bombs in the box had become damp due to neglect, and there was even some water inside the box!
"This……"

"It was purely an accident, Generals. I didn't do it on purpose."

"Take him away and beat him!"

Li Jingheng pointed at the soldier who was guarding the bomb and said angrily: "Hit him thirty times!"

"Change the bomb!"

Li Chongyi tilted his head and said, "Give me two well-preserved ones!"

This time.

The two well-kept bombs were delivered to Li Chongyi.

"Hey, I'm sure they'll be surprised this time!"

Li Jingheng looked at the city wall knowingly. The dud just now might have surprised the defenders on the city wall, but this time the bomb was not a dud.

I hope they won't come closer to check out these bombs...

Li Jingheng chuckled and watched Li Chongyi light the bomb and shoot it towards the city wall.

Whoosh.

The bomb formed an extremely perfect arc in the air.

"Again?"

After seeing another bomb being fired over, some defenders on the city wall couldn't help but sneer in their hearts.

I thought their bomb would be very powerful, but it turned out to be just an iron ball.

Now two more iron balls are shot at them. Are they trying to smash them to death?

however.

Just when the defenders were secretly relaxing, the bombs that fell on the city wall suddenly exploded with astonishing force.

Boom boom!

Two bombs exploded one after another, and the powerful impact caused some nearby defenders to be blown away on the spot, leaving no trace of their bodies.

Although the defenders who were further away were not blown away by the bomb on the spot, the subsequent spreading impact force, coupled with some broken iron pieces and other objects, killed dozens of people in an instant!

"what……"

"my leg……"

"Save me, save me..."

For a while.

Scary screams continued to ring out on the city walls.

Heichi Changyu and Wu Mingfeng looked at the tragic scene in front of them with shock.

Just two bombs killed dozens of people and seriously injured nearly a hundred people?
This power is so amazing?!

"Hurry up and save people!"

Wu Mingfeng shouted, "Be careful of the Tang army's firearms, spread out, don't gather together!"

After seeing the power of the bomb, the defenders quickly dispersed, looking uncertainly at the cavalry outside the city.

so horrible.

How could they resist the Tang army when they had such weapons?

Do we really have to surrender?

The successful explosion of two bombs in succession raised a cloud of dust on the city wall.

Li Chongyi couldn't help but applaud.

"Pretty!"

"They should have been given a beating just now!"

"I guess the defenders on the city wall, after seeing the power of our bombs, began to regret not surrendering in advance, right?"

Li Jingheng smiled and nodded. When he looked towards the city wall, there was no trace of the defenders.

Obviously.

The defenders went into hiding, fearing that they would be the next target of attack.

Li Jingheng shouted: "This is a warning to you!"

"If you persist in your wrongdoings and become an enemy of our Tang Dynasty, your dead companions will be your fate!"

"..."

There was dead silence on the city wall.

There were only pairs of fearful eyes that occasionally looked at their companions who were being carried away.
