The east gate of Thang Long City is the gate near the Red River. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The city walls, which were originally made of bricks and stones, have now become potholes. A vermilion city gate was also bombarded by the cannons, and in the last few blows, it completely turned into a pile of wooden blocks.

None of the Jiaozhi defenders on the city wall dared to show their heads. The "demon law" of the Han people is too powerful, but when you see a fireball coming in the air, it is good to say that it hits in the distance, if it hits the city wall, those scattered gravel are simply a weapon to harvest life. It's really a death when you are next to it, and an injury when you touch it.

What's even more painful is that the Han army made the demon law just that, and they were still far away, fighting them across the moat. The crossbow of the cochin soldier, but it can shoot a hundred paces. Originally, the range was close, and there was a headwind. Often, the arrows could not be sent at 80 paces before they fell to the ground in exhaustion. Eighty steps, even the hair of the Han army can't be touched! Others can hit you, but you can't hit others, and there is nothing more painful than that.

On the new-style warship, Zou You got out of the cabin. On the side of the forbidden army, even the air was filled with the smell of gunsmoke. Zou You covered his mouth and nose, patted Lu Chenhuan's shoulder, and said loudly: "General Lu, the sub-mother cannon can't be fired anymore, the barrel is already hot, if you shoot it again, there will be a danger of exploding!" ”

Fat Lu's ears were almost deafened by him, but fortunately, the cannon just now was too loud, so he had a little resistance. Zou You was also supervising the firing of the cannon, shouting so loudly that his voice was about to smoke, he was used to being so loud, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hear what he was saying.

Fat Lu nodded, motioned to the flag soldiers on the sails, waved the small flag, stopped the shelling, prepared to beat the drum, and marched.

After two more volleys, the sub-cannon finally stopped. In just two quarters of an hour, more than 200 sub-cannons poured more than 2,000 catties of pig iron-cannonballs into Thang Long City. The price of this pig iron alone is already very expensive. At this time, iron can be regarded as hard currency. Two thousand catties of pig iron can only be bought for at least 100,000 yuan.

Lu Chenhuan calculated the account, and smacked his tongue in his heart: "This sub-mother cannon is throwing money!" If you exchange it for copper coins, you can smash Thang Long City apart......"

"Knock Knock Knock !!"

The heavy and exciting drum beat sounded, and one after another, a large wooden plank was lowered from the side of the ship, and one by one the forbidden troops rushed down and rushed towards Thang Long City. When they came to the moat, someone soon pushed the ladder and laid wooden planks on the ladder, quickly forming small bridges. These utensils are prepared in advance to prevent this from happening in front of you.

"Hey, why did it stop?"

Some bold soldiers slowly stretched out their heads and looked tentatively down from the battlements of the city wall. I saw one by one the forbidden soldiers, like a tide, frantically rushing towards Thang Long City.

"Oh no, the Han have attacked......"

Before he could finish speaking, there was a crisp "snap" in the distance, and a blood flower bloomed on his head, and the whole person fell backwards. The Jiaozhi soldier next to him saw that he had lost his breath, and there was a bloody hole in his head, gurgling with blood and white brains......

The soldiers of Jiaozhi saw that the city was about to be broken, and the jar was broken, so they rose up angrily to fight back. What sassholes, rolling stones, arrow feathers...... In any case, all the means of effectively blocking the enemy have been used. The casualties of the forbidden army increased all of a sudden.

But no matter how the Jiaozhi soldiers resisted, they still couldn't stop the overwhelming Dashun forbidden army. In addition, the city gate has been opened, and the forbidden army has already rushed into the city after a slight charge. Almost all those who met resistance fell under the swords, guns, and firearms of the forbidden army......

Thousands of miles away, the Jiaozhi invasion army was still on the march, and in the Chinese army, Guo Qingri, the captain wearing luxurious armor, always felt a little uneasy in his heart, as if something terrible had happened. "Could it be that the big war is coming, and I'm thinking nonsense?" Guo Qingri tried very hard to put these "negative emotions" behind, but he couldn't do it in the end.

Distraught, Guo Qingri summoned Li Changjie.

"Li Taibao, don't you think it's a little strange in Dashun?"

Guo Qingri looked worriedly at the empty village ahead, and felt a little ominous premonition in his heart. Li Changjie has many titles, and Li Rizun recently named him Taibao, which is the most commonly used title.

Li Changjie comforted Guo Qingri and said: "Tai Wei, Dashun released wolf smoke in advance, these Han people, presumably saw the wolf smoke, so they hid!" You see, this rice field has just been harvested, and it is not yet ripe, and the ears of rice are very green and ......."

"What a move!" Guo Qingri sneered, obviously he also agreed with Li Changjie's judgment. If it weren't for the strong walls and clear wilderness, how could the Han people be willing to harvest these rice grains in advance? The allusion of the strong wall and clear the field, Guo Qingri has read Han books, and knows that it is from the "Three Kingdoms, Wei Shu, Xun Yu Biography": "Today, the East is all harvesting wheat, and the wall will be cleared to wait for the general, and the general will not pull out the attack, and there will be no gain, and within ten days, the 100,000 people will be trapped without a fight." "At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao occupied the Yanzhou region after suppressing the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and then marched eastward, preparing to capture Xuzhou. Yanzhou powerful Zhang Miao took the opportunity to collude with the separatist force Lu Bu to attack most of Yanzhou and occupy the important place of Puyang. Cao Cao hurriedly withdrew his troops from Xuzhou and launched a counterattack against Lü Bu, who was stationed in Puyang. Lu Bu was very fierce, and the two sides held each other for a long time, and Cao Cao could not win for a while. At this time, Tao Qian, the guard general of Xuzhou, died of illness and gave Xuzhou to Liu Bei. Cao Cao was even more anxious when he heard this, so he decided to seize Xuzhou first and then come back to eliminate Lü Bu. When the strategist Xun Yu heard about it, he rushed to dissuade him.

Xun Yu said to Cao Cao that when Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, competed for the world, he first kept Guanzhong; When Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu pacified the world, he first occupied Hanoi. In doing so, they are deeply rooted in order to control the world. So although they also suffered some setbacks and failures, they finally succeeded because they didn't lose at all. In the same way, Yanzhou is fundamental to you, although it is more dilapidated, it is easier to preserve strength. As for Xuzhou, it is said that they have organized manpower to step up the harvesting of wheat outside the city and transport it into the city, which shows that they have been prepared for a possible battle. After harvesting the grain, the other party will inevitably have to strengthen the fortifications and fortifications, waiting for you to fight him. If you really send troops to attack Xuzhou now, by that time, you will not be able to conquer it, you will have nothing to gain from plundering, and within ten days, the whole army will collapse without a fight. Weighing the pros and cons in this way, the minister thinks that it is better not to fight Xuzhou first, please consider it carefully, general.

Cao Cao listened to Xun Yu's advice and felt that it was very reasonable, so he canceled the plan to attack Xuzhou and concentrated on fighting against Lü Bu. Soon, Cao Cao defeated Lü Bu and pacified Yanzhou.

Guo Qingri knew this allusion, and of course understood that the Han army planned to shrink its forces, fortify the walls and clear the wilderness, so as to concentrate its forces and fight them in Qinzhou City.

"Hmph, with those thousands of soldiers and horses, you also want to resist my 100,000 army? Where's Chen's change, herald? ”

Guo Qingri sneered and shouted loudly.

"Back to Taiwei, General Chen has already fished the Hongjiang River (later known as the Maoling River), and in half a day, he will be able to go to the city of Qinzhou to ......" (to be continued.) )
