Chapter 995: The Last Madness (5)
"Master Su, you know that I am an impatient, my endurance is very limited, if you become a turtle with a shrunken head again, don't blame me for ignoring the situation and not leaving you a way out." Seeing that Su Jin's side had not moved for a long time, Zhang Yaozuo was a little annoyed.
Su Jin thought for a while, got up and stood on the top of the sandbag fortifications and said loudly: "Zhang Yaozuo, I am already in your pocket, what is there to rush about?" Before you get caught, you have to let me say goodbye to my family and friends, right? β
Zhang Yaozuo laughed and said, "Say goodbye?" Anyway, if you go to Beijing together and go to prison together, how can you not have the opportunity to meet? I understand, you want to delay the time for your family to sneak away, right, tell you, don't move your mind, we know that you are going to escape from the sea, let me tell you, Lord Han Jiang and the Zhejiang Navy warship are already waiting for you on the sea, even if you escape from the sea, what can you do? Do you want to die in the sea? β
Su Jin said with a smile: "You are well prepared, I am afraid that the emperor ordered you to prepare a few months ago, it is really painstaking." β
Zhang Yaozuo reprimanded: "That's because you have bad intentions, you should reflect on yourself." β
Su Jin sneered and said: "I don't want to quarrel with you idiot, I just need a stick of incense to explain the future, if you can't wait, you can attack immediately, if you think that you can let me be captured with a dozen catapults, then you are too naΓ―ve; But I'm willing to give up resistance after a stick of incense, because I don't want to implicate too many people, and it's up to you to decide what to do. β
Su Jin jumped off the sandbag and disappeared behind the fortifications, Zhang Yaozuo wanted to immediately order the catapult and the bed crossbow to bombard indiscriminately, but he was worried that it would really anger Su Jin and make him desperate for life, the lethality of the other party's firecrackers was too great, and the six thousand soldiers and horses led by himself had been killed and wounded more than 1,000 after several rounds of charges, and the casualties of the excuse in the north should not be small, if Su Jin resisted desperately, the 10,000 Praetorian Guards would probably have to pay half of the price; With 10,000 elite Praetorian Guards to deal with Su Jin's 800 private soldiers, he will definitely be denounced as incompetent, it is better to endure the time of a stick of incense, anyway, Su Jin can't play any tricks in such a short time.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yaozuo instructed the guards on the left and right: "Closely monitor the movement on the opposite side, don't let them withdraw secretly." β
More than a dozen guards hid and monitored the top of the houses on both sides of the street, and from a distance, there was no movement in the enemy's fortifications, and rows of firecrackers were lying on the edge of the fortifications and waiting, with no intention of retreating and fleeing.
Time passed slowly, and the time for a stick of incense soon came, Zhang Yaozuo shouted at the top of his throat: "Su Jin, the time for a stick of incense has arrived, it's time for you to fulfill your promise, and I have done my duty to you." β
Su Jin laughed: "What promise?" β
Zhang Yaozuo scolded angrily: "Don't you shed tears when you don't see the coffin?" Originally, you could still see the emperor alive, maybe the emperor would remember the old love and forgive you for the death penalty, but now you don't even have the last chance, I will cut off your head with my own hands, kill your whole family and all your comrades, this is the end of teasing the official. β
Su Jin shouted: "Dog thief, do you think I am as stupid as a pig and dog like you?" You don't intend to stay alive at all, so what kind of promises do you have to talk about? Zhang Yaozuo, I didn't want to kill you originally, but you really me off, I decided to take your dog's life and leave, so that you know the fate of offending me Su Jin; Whether I am the prime minister of the court or a cloth cloth, it will take another thousand years if you want to fight me. β
Zhang Yaozuo stomped his feet and scolded, and repeatedly ordered the catapult to load and attack, but found that the soldiers around him were staring at the sky blankly, with a look of panic on their faces; Zhang Yaozuo scolded: "What are you doing? Why don't you do it yet? β
The guards pointed to the air and stammered, "Big ...... What do you see, my lord? β
Zhang Yaozuo squinted and turned his head to look at the sky to the east, and suddenly had goosebumps all over his body, the sky in the direction of the pier, with the slight east wind, drifted over densely packed with dozens of strange things of all sizes, the top was a bulging ball, and the bottom was hanging a big bamboo basket, and there were figures shaking inside.
"What's that?" Zhang Yaozuo shouted.
"It seems to be...... It seems to be a hot air balloon invented by Master Su. One of the guards shouted.
"What's that for?"
"I heard from the veterans who came back from the Northern Expedition that Lord Su used this thing when he attacked Linhuang Mansion in Liao State, flew over Linhuang Mansion, threw down countless oil, and burned Linhuang Mansion almost became white ground."
Zhang Yaozuo's face turned pale, and he suddenly shouted: "Shoot arrows, shoot them down, what about the bed crossbow, aim at those ghost things and shoot them down." β
Thousands of arrows shot into the sky, but unfortunately the height of the hot air balloon was too high, suspended in the air where the feather arrows could not reach, like a dark cloud black pressure pressed, the bed crossbow was too heavy, and the hot air balloon had already moved before it was aimed at the target, and the seven or eight soldiers who were busy sweating couldn't shoot a hot air balloon.
Su Jin's voice sounded in the distance: "Brothers of the forbidden army, I, Su Jin, don't want to hurt your lives, but I have no choice in order to save myself, so I will withdraw from the battlefield immediately, and I still have a chance to live, otherwise I can't blame me Su Jin for not thinking about the friendship of his compatriots, and he wants to live quickly." β
Everyone was still hesitating, and in a moment a huge hot air balloon had already flown over the street, and an ugly man above blasted in mid-air and cursed: "Throw fire bombs and burn these grandsons." β
As soon as the words fell, the burning skin bag full of fire oil fell from the sky, and then burst into a large piece of fire rain in mid-air and fell on the ground of the forbidden army, suddenly boomed, a pile of fire raged, the forbidden soldiers blew up like a pot to dodge, and then packs and packs of fire oil bags were thrown into the dense crowd of forbidden soldiers on the ground, the sky above the whole street seemed to have a heavenly fire, the soldiers on the ground had nowhere to avoid, the crowded street market was full of flames, everyone cried and called their mothers to flee in all directions, It's a pity that there is nowhere to go under the shroud of the heavenly fire, the house is on fire and cannot enter, and there are people on fire all around, as far as the eye can see, and the hands are all burning with fire.
After the first batch of hot air balloons crossed the air, the ground has become a fire hell, the second batch of more than a dozen small hot air balloons came to the sky, this time they did not drop the fire oil bag, but a fist-sized iron ball, one by one after the green smoke of the iron ball fell to the ground, suddenly erupted into an earth-shattering roar, one by one the iron balls burst open, the flesh and blood flew within a few feet around the explosion, and the iron thistle terrestris and iron eggs that shot the affected people into a sieve, the scene was unbearable.
Only then did the soldiers of the forbidden army understand that Su Jin's warning just now was not a lie, when Su Jin warned them just now, many people still scoffed, and now it is too late to regret it, many people who sneered at it have become a mass of flesh and blood, and more people began to flee in all directions, and those who fled east were ruthlessly sniped by the gunners of the fire battalion, they could only flee to the west, many people took off their fire armor and lost their heavy shields and weapons, and ran wildly shirtless, escaping from the battlefield of fire and gunsmoke was their only idea, It's literally eighteen layers of hell.
Zhang Yaozuo hid under a low wall and watched all this blankly, he suddenly understood how ridiculous he was in Su Jin's eyes, Su Jin was simply not a person, I don't know when he already had so many firearms that could destroy everything in an instant, Zhang Yaozuo felt deep despair, with these firearms and strange-looking things, if Su Jin wanted to seize the throne by force, it would be easy for him to be unlucky, he insisted on provoking Su Jin, obviously he became the first victim of Su Jin's new weapon.
"Your Excellency...... Run, run. The guard shrank beside him and shouted.
"Good...... Where to flee? Zhang Yaozuo's face was pale, his lips were dry, his eyes were looking around, and there was a rain of fire and explosions as far as he could see.
"There seems to be an alley over there, let's run that way, I remember there is a forest at the end, let's hide in the woods, maybe we can escape."
"Then what are you waiting for, lead the way."
Several guards rushed to a lane behind, Zhang Yaozuo followed closely behind, one foot shallow and one foot followed, seeing that it was almost to the mouth of the alley, Zhang Yaozuo stumbled and fell to the ground, and at the same time, with a 'dang' sound, an iron ball fell from the sky to Zhang Yaozuo's head, Zhang Yaozuo's eyes were cracked, and his eyes widened to watch the iron ball swaying on the ground with green smoke.
"Help me!" Zhang Yaozuo suddenly came to his senses and shouted.
Several guards stopped and turned around, looked at the iron ball smoking next to Zhang Yaozuo's head, glanced at each other, and suddenly shouted in unison, rushing into the alley at a faster speed, Zhang Yaozuo scolded: "I'm going to kill your whole clan, you godsend, I want to ......."
After the loud sound of "boom ......", half of the head was blasted into the air, and Zhang Yaozuo was fortunate to become the first high-ranking official in history to die from a grenade, which is enough to go down in history.
