I, the patron saint of the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, was forced to rebel

Chapter 139 Crusade against the False Emperor
defense!
In an instant, Qin Mu's mind was clear, Mad, this word is simply a big hole.

As long as you want to start a war, any path will work, just make a provocation, and then claim that you are defending and forced to fight back.

It's so familiar, it's too similar to the way of a certain country before rebirth.

Moreover, there are countless reasons, and the most direct method is to manipulate the officials and others inside the Tang Dynasty, separatist regime, the Tang Dynasty court perished, and then all places declared rebellion, or directly surrendered to North Korea.

"That's cruel enough, this Gao Jianwu is thinking too far!"

Zhuge Liang sighed: "Your Majesty, any agreement between countries has many loopholes, and it is done deliberately. No matter how you talk about it, you must maintain an equal relationship."

Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was once a bustling neighborhood, but now it is full of tension, death, and panic.

Flags were waving all around, and a group of soldiers surrounded the whole city.

The three princes and Gao Shilian directly launched a coup d'etat and supported the three princes as the new emperor, but in fact the imperial power was still in the hands of Gao Shilian.

The military power is in Qin Qiong's hands. He is loyal, but it is also for the country rather than for a certain person.

Li Tai, the emperor, was not stable at all, and the power in his hands was completely divided, and he had no soldiers or officials in his hands.

As an emperor, to this point, it can be said that he exists in name only.

Although there are many forbidden troops, they are of no great use.

The troops encircling from all directions have surrounded the entire city of Chang'an!

"Fight the false emperor Li Tai!"

"Fight against Li Tai."

All kinds of shouts resounded throughout the city.

The west and north are all Qin Mu's sphere of influence, while the east is near the sea but controlled by the third prince Li Ke.

In the south, it seemed like a sharp sword had completely cut off the connection between the rear of the country and the capital, and the middle part was all controlled by the Changsun family.

With such a situation, the Chang'an Imperial City has no way out, and it can even be said that it is certain to die!
Several parties seem to have reached an agreement, except for Li Ke's military horse, the rest of the forces have no intention of getting involved in this matter at all.

Gao Shilian had already settled the court, and he had already started planning from the moment he became the captain. At first, Li Tai was still a little capable, but slowly he found that he was basically a waste.

As a relative of the royal family, he cannot raise the flag to rebel, but he can control it behind the scenes.

Therefore, Li Ke had been contacted a long time ago, at least the other party was a prince who was qualified to be enthroned.

20 troops surrounded the entire area.

Speaking of which, the most powerful person in the imperial court is probably not the emperor, but Qin Qiong, this Hu Guogong!

After the death of the first emperor, except for the forbidden army, all the military power of the country belonged to him.

It's a pity that due to the tense surrounding situation, the army is no longer enough and has already gone to the border garrison, and the forbidden army in the capital is only [-].

The tense situation was imminent, and there were no people or soldiers available in the entire state around Chang'an City.

Puzhou and Youzhou are the closest areas, and it is indeed Qin Mu's area, let alone help.

Since Lingzhou announced the public sale of artillery, firearms and other things, the slogan of rejuvenating the country through industry and commerce has become more and more prominent. Many people are not stupid, but they did not expect the changes to be so fast.

Generals, businessmen, and officials soon discovered that future wars, commerce, and officialdom would undergo tremendous changes.

Teams of spies continued to search for news, and even began to deliver the news with their lives.

Among the 20 troops, the most conspicuous one is the "steel jungle"!
All the artillery were purchased from Lingzhou, including the first-generation single-shot rifles carried by the soldiers next to them.

Speaking of these two things, they also thought that it would not be worthwhile to buy them all the time due to their high prices, but the materials they made were not good enough. This was the first point, and the second point was that shells and bullets could not be made at all.

The most outrageous thing is that Li Ke has been secretly developing firearms. Up to now, the bullets have not been uniform in size, and almost all of them are made by hand.

As you can imagine, how bad it is!
Not to mention, on the battlefield, the final result is that you have to buy it from Lingzhou.

However, the strength of these people should not be underestimated. There is no industrial system but primitive artillery can be produced. Simple barrels, iron ball shells, and even built-in continuous balls are enough lethality for such a war. .

Of course, when you meet Qin Mu's army, say something else.
The besieging army has ammunition, and of course Chang'an City also has it!
As an arms seller, Lingzhou City's approach can be said to be hated. Cannons, firearms, gunpowder, bullets, and armaments are sold everywhere.

Even if it is your enemy, you can still buy it, but the channels are different.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that if this f*ck was not ordered by the palace, who would dare to smuggle it?

The most powerful thing in Chang'an City is not the artillery, but the ballista, the super-large multi-layer crossbow, and even the ballista bed.

Due to the appearance of precision components, bearings, and precision forged spring steel, cold weapons can use the waste heat again. The steel wires and bearings are assembled with a special structure. It no longer requires a lot of effort to start, but can be fired easily. giant crossbow.

In the past, a big man might be able to operate a bow, but now an ordinary woman can do it.

The appearance of the compound bow has changed the threshold of all long-range cold weapons.

Looking around, on the city platform, the huge crossbow bed is shocking!

Twelve floors, with bows and crossbows on top, several layers of pulleys, with a width of up to two meters, twelve crossbows shining silver in the sun, this can be called a steel pillar!
The length is about one meter. I don't know why it has to be so long.

Rows of black holed muzzles look thick, but in fact they are full of blood.

The power of industry is beyond everyone's imagination. Everyone felt shocked and powerful in the previous wars against Qin Mu.

However, when they started to study and deal with it head-on, they realized how small and ignorant they were!

The tense atmosphere remained at a stalemate, but Gao Shilian was not nervous at all, and just slowly consumed.

He knew very well that after more than a year, there were already countless contradictions within the Tang court, and what was needed was an excuse, an excuse to overthrow the emperor.

And right now, it is an opportunity, it is absolutely impossible not to fight!

Not long after, the soldiers on both sides began to scold each other, followed by the generals, no matter whether they knew each other in the past or not, at this moment they met with swords, and the one who survived was the winner.

Swearing is just a way to vent, a way to ease the atmosphere.

Old-fashioned swearing language, either saying that you have no righteousness, or that you have no strength, or even that the other party is a rebel, and they are Weiguo.

The two sides quarreled badly, but neither could convince the other.

It lasted until dusk, when Li Ke arrived, he couldn't bear it anymore. At first, he was supposed to sit on the throne by himself, but it was given to the self-righteous Li Tai.

"Fight against the false emperor Li Tai, punish the rebellious officials and thieves!"
