Chapter 253: Support and betrayal are all in one thought

"Deal," Zhang Zhongjian said almost without thinking.

One hundred, this price is actually not cheap. However, after the reaction of the surviving fugitives in the battle of Yanmen Pass, Zhang Zhongjian knew that the kind of burning and exploding artifact in Chen Ying's hand was invincible to break through the village, and exchange a hundred things for a city, Zhang Zhongjian felt very cost-effective when he thought about it.

In fact, Zhang Zhongjian didn't know that a hundred incendiary bombs could not capture a city, and if you wanted to capture a small city, you would need at least dozens or hundreds, almost tens of thousands. However, the city of the Wa Kingdom at this time can almost be compared to the villages of Huaxia, there are thousands of people, and even the dock fort established by Haoqiang is far inferior.

This was beyond Chen Ying's expectations, in his mind, to do business, pay attention to the sky-high price, and repay the money on the ground. However, Zhang Zhongjian did not make a counteroffer.

Chen Ying also knew that at this time, the scale of the city of the Japanese Kingdom was very small, and it was difficult to say whether it could return to the capital if it could be used to smash the courtyard of a landlord's house with tens of millions of dollars. Chen Ying decided to pay attention to mutual benefit and reciprocity, otherwise he would definitely not be able to do it for a long time just by taking advantage of the advantages and not suffering losses.

No one is a fool, fooled once, fooled twice, and will not be fooled forever. Chen Ying secretly decided that in this case, the kind of incendiary bomb for Zhang Zhongjian would be made larger, and it could even be made into a hundred catties, and it should not be too expensive to sell a pound of fierce fire oil!

Chen Ying groaned: "Zhang Daxia Mingjian, Hellfire is too tyrannical, it is a natural thing, because it is too vicious, the heavens do not want this thing to harm the world, therefore, there is no stock in the hands of this general, and the number will not be too much, a thousand will need at least a period of time for this general to find raw materials, and after half a year of research and development, deployment, and the fastest will be until the end of the year, you can get Hellfire!" ”

The name of fierce fire oil is really not worthy of the price of one hundred. Therefore, as soon as he had an idea, Chen Ying gave this incendiary bomb a name - Hellfire. Of course, Chen Ying is also admiring himself, Hellfire, the name seems to be very appropriate.

Zhang Zhongjian is only hearsay about the power of gasoline, but he is also angry about the inability of this thing to be used endlessly. However, it is precisely because it cannot be used endlessly that this is in line with the way of heaven, otherwise once a large amount of hellfire descends on the world, it will be an endless disaster for the world.

Just when Chen Ying and Zhang Zhongjian reached a cooperation agreement, and Zhang Zhongjian bought a thousand incendiary bombs called Hellfire from Chen Ying at a price of 100 yuan, Luzhou City also ushered in the last moment.

After more than a month of siege, a very large pit was dug by the Xia soldiers at the foot of the city wall of Luzhou City, which supported the foundation of the city wall with countless hard woods. In fact, this is the real digging corner.

In ancient warfare, for a city, either water attack, fire attack, or digging corners, digging corners is very fast, but it can reduce the losses of the besieging side. In the process of burning the raging flames, the wood used to support the south gate of Lucheng Gate at this time was slowly burning.

Suddenly, there was a deafening roar at the foot of the Luzhou city wall, soaked in wood with fire oil, and the flames broke through the constraints of the ground and rushed out of the ground. As the burning wood chips and flames flew in the sky, it looked like a volcano had erupted...... The Xia army spent half a month digging a tunnel more than 100 long and wide, completely destroying the city wall of Luzhou City, losing the support of the load-bearing roof beams and columns, and Luzhou City instantly collapsed a gap of more than 30 steps wide.

Tens of thousands of Xia soldiers let out earth-shattering cheers, and the tide rushed to Luzhou City, and a wail sounded in Luzhou City, while the Xia soldiers cheered wildly, and launched an attack on the Tang Army defenders, Luzhou City instantly turned into a whirlpool of blood and fire. Without the protection of the city walls, it is only a matter of time before the city is captured, and the process will not be too long, and the end of Luzhou City has arrived.

The generals of the Xia army congratulated Wang Xiaohu: "Congratulations to General Wang Lei, Luzhou City has finally been taken, Huzhou City is also ready to go down, the three towns of Jinnan have been under the front of my Xia army, and the great cause of our Xia army has gone further!" ”

Wang Xiaohu snorted and said: "Let's open up the territory for Your Majesty, the people of this Luzhou are all Your Majesty's people, as usual, after entering the city, you are not allowed to loot, you are not allowed to bully the old and weak women and children, you are not allowed to force women to do women, and you are not allowed to harass the good people...... The closer we get to victory, the more we must pay close attention to military discipline. ”

The generals clasped their fists and said, "We will obey the order!" ”

"The two armies are fighting, the battlefield is winning, the battle achievements are indispensable to you, and Your Majesty will not treat anyone lightly, but ......" Wang Xiaohu said lightly: "Whoever dares to violate discipline in the fuck, Lao Tzu will cut off his head, and his mother Lao Tzu has no mercy to talk about - there is no forgiveness for killing." ”

The careful general suddenly found that the general didn't seem to be in high spirits, and looked at them in surprise, only to see that this Wang Xiaohu Meiyu had a hint of loneliness between him, and he had been looking at the northwest.

……

On the bank of the Fen River, Li Jiancheng used no more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to withstand the onslaught of Dou Jiande's 100,000 army. The contours of his face grew deeper, as if he had been chopped out with a knife and axe. The lips are already broken, not because of the lack of water, but because of the fire.

That's right, on fire.

Dou Jiande was indeed in a hurry, as Chen Ying took Xingyang, and then turned to attack Luoyang, almost like a wind sweeping away the leaves, Luoyang was in the bag, these days, Dou Jiande has not captured Li Jiancheng's defense line, instead of capturing Li Jiancheng's camp on the bank of the Fen River, but received a series of bad news.

"Tang general Chen Ying broke through Luoyang, surrendered to King Xuanying, and more than 50,000 Li Shu surrendered!"

"Tang general Chen should be defeated, Zheng general Zhao Shangzhi."

"Zheng Guanguan, General Yun Shide, surrender Chen Ying!"

"Wang Shichong was captured by the Tang general Hou Mo Chen Xu!"

In fact, Ling Jing's appearance was not much better, not only did he look haggard, the scribe's shirt on his body was dirty and smelly, and the original gentle and smiling fox appearance had long since disappeared.

As an ally, Wang Shichong is like Italy in later generations, specializing in teammates. Hitler had made it clear that he could conquer Italy with five divisions, but he had to use twenty divisions to help Italy stabilize its defenses.

If Dou Jiande directly destroyed Wang Shichong and defended Hangu Pass alone, I am afraid that it would not be easy for the Tang State to advance eastward, however, Wang Shichong was quickly defeated in just over five months. At this time, Wang Shichong had already been taken prisoner of the Tang army, and the army led by Wang Shiyun probably wouldn't last long.

Dou Jiande raised the teacup, watched the ups and downs of the brown, and flew back to China with his thoughts.

At this moment, he no longer has the heart to think about the Central Plains and Wang Shichong, this time he drove the expedition in person, Song Zhengben sat in Leshou City, Song Zhengben was very capable, and the domestic reclamation and resumption of production were done very well. Moreover, under extremely difficult circumstances, he also sent him another 50,000 new troops of Hebei children.

At this time, Hebei united, just like the Hebei people united around Gao Huan to confront Yuwentai, this struggle, to put it bluntly, is that the Hebei clan and the wealthy family, hoping to get rid of the small area of Hebei itself, they all heard the wind. Gather all kinds of forces contained in the Xia Kingdom and the opposition and start the struggle for the national fortune in the next twenty years!

In the future, the Xia Kingdom will inevitably become the center of politics in Hebei, so as to echo the interests of the wealthy families and clans in Hebei (the land and fields of the Jingshi are ten times that of the surrounding areas in any era). Now at this critical juncture, it is the inevitable way for the Hebei clan and the gate valve to work tirelessly to get rid of the fate of being politically marginalized for 30 years!

Even if he robbed the Zheng family's wealth and food, he tore his face with the Zheng family. However, when these Hebei clans saw that Dou Jiande had the capital to divide the world, they did not hesitate to stand on Dou Jiande's side.

The change in the attitude of the Hebei Shizu gate valve caught Dou Jiande off guard.

There is no doubt that the great change of the Hebei clan is very beneficial to Dou Jiande. With the support of the major families and the powerful, inexplicable and wonderful people have emerged, and all kinds of chaotic self-consolidating warriors (that is, the armed forces of the landlords of the nature of the township warriors in later generations) have gathered under his royal banner one after another.

At this moment, Dou Jiande even had a thought in his heart.

Could it be that he is really destined to belong?

In fact, the Hebei clan and the gate lord coincidentally received the news that the Turkic Jieli Khan's army of more than 300,000 people went south. And Dou Jiande is friendly with the Turkic princess Yicheng, it is obvious that the Turks will not attack the Xia Kingdom, and the only one in the world who is close to the Turks is the Tang Kingdom.

More than 300,000 Turkic cavalry will be a force that Li Tang will be difficult to resist, so all the advantages that Li Tang has will be wiped out in an instant.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps.

Ling Jing hurriedly received the secret letter and took out a note from the seal. Ling Jing exclaimed, "Your Majesty, Wang Shichong is dead? “

"Wang Shichong is dead?" Dou Jiande was overjoyed and said: "God help me! ”

Ling Jing hesitated: "But I'm afraid Wang Shiyun won't last long!" ”

"It's okay!" Dou Jiande said with a smile: "As long as Wang Shichong is not dead, then pick a person surnamed Wang to come out, succeed Wang Shichong as the king of Zheng Guo, and help me to help a Zheng Guo out!" “

In Dou Jiande's view, Wang Shichong is dead.

Li Tang will definitely be passive, because there are many princes who want to surrender to Li Tang, such as Luo Yi, the governor of Youzhou, and Du Fuwei, the governor of Jianghuai, don't they consider considering Wang Shichong's fate? It can be said that the news of Wang Shichong's death will soon brew into a bad result.

Dou Jiande even had a crazy idea to contact all the princes in the world and raise troops to attack the Tang Dynasty.

"Ling Qing, you said, how will Luo Yi and Du Fuwei react when they get this news?" Dou Jiande smiled leisurely: "Will they consider opposing the Tang Dynasty?" “

Ling Jing's eyes lit up: "It's not impossible!" “
