Chapter 1097: Confused 'Battle'
After a night of uproar, Gaochang City finally regained calm, and the next day, just after dawn, Hou Junji sent a herald to gather a group of generals to discuss the war.
"The general has an order, and he has invited the ink sacrifice wine into the city!" A herald came to the firearms camp and said respectfully.
With the power of last night's city break, all the soldiers couldn't help but be a little more in awe when they came to the firearms prison.
"Please return to the general, Mo will set off." Merton responded, and immediately got up and left.
When Merton walked out of the camp, the generals of the other armies also walked out, and the generals looked at each other, and then immediately crossed their horses into the city.
This time, the generals entered the city and walked not the collapsed city wall, but the gate of Gaochang City, which had already been cleaned up and the gate was opened.
When the generals stepped into the city of Gaochang, the whole city was silent, and the streets were empty, but everyone could smell the smell of blood in the air.
The generals marched all the way and finally came to the palace of Gaochang Wang, where Hou Junji and Xin Fang'er were already waiting.
"The generals came just in time, now Gaochang City has been won, this battle has been won by my Datang, this battle is the work of the whole army, after returning to Chang'an City, this general will definitely reward your majesty." Hou Junji said heartily, he let the people of the headquarters enter the city alone, and his heart was naturally empty, and he couldn't help but say some words to calm the dissatisfaction of the generals.
When the generals thought that they were under the eaves, they could only bow their heads, and after this battle, everyone had merit, thinking of this, everyone was more balanced in their hearts.
"Thank you, General!" The generals bowed in unison.
Seeing the change in the attitude of the generals, he immediately knew that the matter of him entering Gaochang City alone had been covered up, and he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
"Although Gaochang City is broken, there is one person who cannot but be held accountable, and someone will bring Koji Zhisheng up." Hou Junji shouted.
Soon, a young man with a disheveled hair was brought up, only to see that this person was depressed, if it wasn't for the clothes of King Gaochang on his body, no one would have thought that this person was King Gaochang.
"Koji Zhisheng, General Ben has issued you a surrender document five times and again, but you ignore it and still resist to the end, don't blame General Ben for being ruthless today! came, Koji Zhisheng stubbornly resisted Datang and did not change his mind, and pushed it out to kill him to set an example. Hou Junji said coldly.
"Yes! Checkmate! Xin Fang'er shouted loudly, stretched out his hand, and the two soldiers set up Koji Zhisheng and were about to drag him out of the palace.
"General Hou spares his life! This king surrendered on his own initiative, and he surrendered on his own initiative. Koji Zhisheng kept struggling and shouted, trying to save a glimmer of life for himself.
Xin Fang'er sneered: "Take the initiative to surrender, you also led the troops out and attacked the general, and you took the initiative to surrender and you refused to surrender three times and twice, if it wasn't for our army blasting Gaochang City, how could you surrender, if you took the initiative to surrender, why are there so many Gaochang people in the city resisting our army." ”
If it was before, Xin Fang'er would definitely bite to death because Koji Zhisheng surrendered first, and Mo Jiazi blasted later, but now Xin Fang'er's attitude is diametrically opposite, because once Koji Zhisheng dies, what they did in Gaochang City will become a confused account, and there is no slightest handle, for this reason, he is willing to let Mo Jiazi take the credit for breaking the city, and he will also put Koji Zhisheng to death.
"The people in the city resisted, this little king really doesn't know?" Koji Zhisheng couldn't help but be surprised, he was imprisoned, how did he know what Xin Fang'er did, and thought that those people who were loyal to Gaochang acted spontaneously.
If it was usual, he would definitely be very pleased with the loyal ministers, but at this moment he wanted to hide far away, and complained in his heart that these people were troublesome.
"That's strange, you said that you took the initiative to surrender, but the other Gaochang people didn't know that you surrendered, but took the initiative to show General Ben merits, you said that General Ben believed in your words, or believed in General Ben's eyes." Xin Fang'er continued to take the matter seriously.
"The time of the people has nothing to do with this king, this king is dedicated to the Tang Dynasty, and it is those officials who hold this king hostage, which causes such a misunderstanding, but this king did surrender first, and then the city was broken, which can be learned from heaven and earth! Many people can testify. Koji Zhisheng exclaimed.
Hou Junji laughed and said: "That's a coincidence, if you take the initiative to surrender, how should the city-breaking work of the ink sacrifice wine be calculated, besides, if you surrender, the ink sacrifice wine will spend so much gunpowder to blast your city wall, ink sacrifice wine, don't you say!" ”
Hou Junji suddenly changed his words and threw the problem to Mo Jiazi, if Mo Jiazi admitted that Lu Zhisheng took the initiative to surrender, then the firearms supervisor's city-breaking work would be yellow, he didn't believe that Mo Jiazi was so indifferent to fame and fortune, so he gave away the city-breaking work, even if Mo Jiazi didn't value fame and fortune, then how could he explain to a group of firearms supervisors, you must know that if a general can't bring credit to the soldiers, how can his subordinates be convinced.
As long as Mo Jiazi recognizes the merit of breaking the city, then he will have a reason to kill Koji Zhisheng and completely sweep away the tail of his hands.
In an instant, all the generals set their eyes on Mo Jiazi, you must know that under the blow of Mo Jiazi, blasting Gaochang City, it can be said that it is comparable to the role of tens of thousands of troops, this kind of credit back to the court, it will definitely be able to take the title of Mo Jiazi further, to their position, how precious it is to be able to go further.
"Mo Jiazi!"
Koji Zhisheng couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't help but look up at this young and excessive general among the generals of the Tang Army, the dignified name of the Mo family even if he was far away in Gaochang, he had heard of the name for a long time, listening to the deeds of the Mo family between the weak crowns, the deeds of the first line, praising the popular poems of the Mo family, and the most favorite to use the exquisite goods produced in the Mo family village.
He sometimes imagined that if one day, Mo Jiazi came to Gaochang, he would definitely be like his father did with Xuanzang, a high-ranking monk of the Tang Dynasty, and introduce Mo Jiazi as a guest of honor and achieve a beautiful conversation, but he never thought that he and Mo Jiazi would meet like this.
At the same time, Mo Jiazi was the culprit of the destruction of Gaochang City, if he hadn't come with gunpowder, how could Gaochang have been defeated so quickly.
When he stood on the city wall, he felt with his own eyes the power of the earth shaking, and the scene of the city wall hundreds of steps away being broken like a piece of paper, he couldn't help but regret why he didn't surrender at the first time, and now the Tang Dynasty, which has gunpowder, is invincible in the world.
"The Mo family has always been known as the Mojia concept, and he should not wantonly slander this king for the sake of merit." Koji Zhisheng hoped.
Whether the Mo family adheres to the Mojia concept to restore the truth, or is it greedy for the sake of breaking the city, Koji Zhisheng has no confidence in his heart.
Mo Dun turned his head to look directly at Lu Zhisheng and said: "If Mo's guess is correct, King Gaochang should have always had hope, and decided to surrender before the Western Turkic reinforcements arrived at the last minute at noon. ”
Koji Zhisheng couldn't help but hang his head, and Merton spoke directly to the bottom of his heart
Merton continued: "However, what King Gaochang didn't know was that at that moment, the general had already given the order to blast, Mo had already ignited the gunpowder, and the fate of Gaochang City could not be changed, and it would take a certain amount of time for King Gaochang's surrender to reach the general, and it would also take time for Mo to light the fuse and blast the Gaochang city wall. Mo believes that the two occur at the same time, and there is no distinction between who comes first and who comes later. ”
The generals nodded one after another, and all along, the two warring sides either surrendered or broke the city, and this was the first time that such a battle had occurred at the same time as surrender and breaking the city.
They have been fighting for so many years, and it is the first time they have encountered such a foolish account.
No! It's a confused 'battle'.
