"It's not good, it's not good, it's an enemy attack, there's an enemy attack!"

Just when the 20,000 elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty rushed into the Tiger Prison Pass, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing just sounded, a Zheng soldier who was patrolling the night suddenly ran and shouted.

A group of high-level officials with five surnames and seven wangs who were falling into a deep sleep were shocked when they heard this shouting and killing, and they ran out one by one without caring about getting dressed, wearing white shorts.

When I came to the yard, I saw the scene of the fire outside the yard, and the tip of my nose smelled burnt, and I couldn't help but gasp!

What the fuck is going on?

I saw that under the silver moonlight, there were fierce shouts and killings everywhere, and the fire went straight to Xiao Han, and even the door of his Zheng mansion began to rumble.

"What's going on? What's going on here? Zheng Changsheng is going crazy, "Go and call the soldiers in the house to come out, there are a few others, don't we still have 30,000 troops, where are the 30,000 troops?" ”

"yes? Where are the people? And how did these Tang soldiers get in? ”

"Come on, quickly escort the patriarch out of the city from the secret passage, we still have an army of 10,000 five miles outside the city, with them, we can still escape!"

The courtyard of Zheng's Nuoda suddenly became lively, and all the high-level officials with the surname of Qiwang were in a mess at this moment, because the incident happened suddenly, they couldn't figure out how the Tang army rushed in?

Fortunately, Zheng Changsheng and they had already prepared, not to mention that there were more than 10,000 troops hiding in the huge mansion, and while shouting that the Tang Dynasty could not rush into the Tiger Prison, they secretly crossed Chen Cang.

Directly below the study room of the Zheng family's mansion, more than 1,000 people started construction, rushed to work day and night, and it took a full month to dig a secret road that leads directly to the north of the Tiger Prison Pass, three miles away in the long river.

As long as it's on the long river. The waterways extend in all directions, and it will be easy to escape when the time comes.

This is done in order to save the life of his family at a critical juncture.

Now, it's exactly what he wanted!

……

Outside the Zheng family's mansion, the 20,000-strong army was divided into pieces, and there was a brigade for every 1,000 people in other directions.

As for the attack on the Zheng family's mansion, it was an army of 10,000 people.

The commander of this army was Hu Xin, the general of Zuo Xiaowei.

Speaking of this, Hu Xin is also a legend, and he has been by Niu Jinda's side for more than ten years. Not only brilliant, but also a rare filial son, in order to allow his mother to live in Chang'an, he resigned from the errand of Quanzhou Thorn History and stayed in Chang'an City.

Earlier, Niu Jinda led 10,000 cavalry to advance into the barbarian land of Fanbang, and the lone army went deep and broke the enemy under the sword, and Hu Xin was one of the more than 5,000 warriors who survived.

"Damn it. Didn't you say that there were only 30,000 people in the city? Why is there an army of 10,000 outside this mansion alone? And it seems that they are afraid that they have moved most of the ordnance here, so they should have been prepared for a long time! ”

Hu Xin spat fiercely with a solemn face, and there was a wave of anger between his words.

No way. This seems to be a bit inconsistent with the information received!

I saw that in front of the Zheng family's mansion, there were 10,000 heavily armed soldiers, densely gathered there.

Although the armor they wore was different, the weapons in their hands were also varied. However, the thirty bed crossbows placed in the front exuded a faint cold light.

Fortunately, the terrain here is still quite open, and there is another mansion a few hundred meters in front of the Zheng family's mansion. Otherwise, if there are so many people, it really won't be able to be used.

"General, this is the Zheng family's mansion, and it is full of high-level people with five surnames and seven wangs. They understand that as long as the city is broken, this is the place where our Tang army must attack, and the key protection is not too much! ”

The horse on Hu Xin's side is his partial general Zhao Ji, who is also the old man in Zuo Xiaowei:

"What we have to do now is to break through the blockade of the 10,000 people in front of us, enter this house, and capture all the high-level leaders of the five surnames and Qiwang alive!!"

Hu Xin is not a fool, since Niu Jinda has given him such an important task, he must find a way to complete it.

"Or, the last general will go and transfer the Shenwu cannon?" Zhao Ji saw Hu Xin's thoughts, and said: "Try to avoid the losses of the brothers in the army, and there is only the power of the divine artillery!" ”

"Well, there's really no other way!"

These 10,000 Zuo Xiaowei's brothers were all cultivated by Hu Xin and them, and they definitely can't die easily.

Soon, twenty guns and gunners were in place.

Hu Xin and Zhao Ji, the high-ranking members of Zuo Xiaowei, stood in a high-rise building opposite the Zheng Mansion, squinting their eyes.

The other more than 10,000 Zuo Xiao guards were all bows and arrows, waiting for orders with solemn faces.

At this time, Hu Xin silently observed for a long time, and finally opened his mouth and shouted: "Shenwu cannon, fire!" ”

The herald, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly waved the torch in his hand and gave instructions.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

A continuous, dull roar resounded throughout Tiger Prison and Bishui Town, and the whole earth seemed to tremble.

The rushing flames seemed so dazzling at night, accompanied by a violent whistling sound, and the swarthy cannonballs fell on the heads of the five surnamed Qiwang soldiers in front of them, cracking, exploding in an instant, and tearing everything around it frantically.

……

Zheng's mansion.

Feeling the violent vibration under his feet, as well as the depressing feeling that the soil layer above his head was about to fall, Zheng Changsheng, who had just drilled into the secret passage, was a little panicked.

"What's going on? Isn't it the earth dragon that turned over? Zheng Changsheng held on to the soil layer in a panic, terrified.

"No, why didn't you have any signs before?" Fan Ziming, the patriarch of the Fan family, was opposed, because every time the earth dragon turned over, there would be some signs, but today there were no signs at all, it shouldn't be.

"I heard that Datang has a weapon that is as terrifying as a thunderbolt descending from heaven when it is used!"

Wang Hao, the patriarch of the Wang family, seemed to have thought of something, and his face turned white.

"My little brother has heard of it!" Liu Tongzhan, the patriarch of the Liu family, nodded and said, "If it is really the Tang Army that sent that thing, I am afraid that none of our soldiers who stayed in the pass will survive!" ”

Zheng Changsheng's face suddenly turned extremely blue, and this time he didn't speak, but subconsciously quickened his pace.

The others looked at each other, and all saw the worry in each other's eyes.

……

"Ah, my legs!"

"It's ...... Is Lei Gong dead? ”

"Run, if we don't run now, I'm afraid we'll all die here!"

There was still a strong smell of gunpowder outside the Zheng Mansion, and the smell made people feel dizzy.

The 10,000 so-called elite soldiers with five surnames and seven wangs dressed in various colors of armor were in chaos at this moment, and there was hardly the slightest order to speak of.

Between the stumps and broken arms, they only care about their own lives, and everything else is no longer important!

"Knock knock!"

At this moment, among these large armies of five surnames and seven hopes, which had been blown up in chaos, suddenly sounded an impassioned drum.

The originally scattered team seemed to have a momentary stagnation, and then the soldiers at the front, as if crazy, rushed towards the bed crossbow at the front.

This seems to be a general offensive signal, so that they leave life and death, forget death, and reverse the situation.

It's a pity that they seem to have forgotten that Fang Cai's Shenwu Cannon not only attacked them, but also the bed crossbow at the front, which was the focus of the attack.

Now, I'm afraid that those bed crossbows have already rotted under the heavy fire of the Shenwu Cannon.

"Hmph, I really don't know what to say!" On the top of the mansion, Hu Xin sneered and said, "Come on, pass the order, let the crossbowmen attack freely!" ”

The Shenwu cannon is a controlled item, and it has not been popularized in the entire Tang Dynasty army at all, so the long-distance weapons used by Zuo Xiaowei's army are all substitutes developed by the Shenji Mansion.

For example, catapults, fire-fighting crossbows...... The range of these things is too long, a distance of dozens of zhang, is it too big to use them?

So after Hu Xin's order was issued, a short and concise little short crossbow appeared in the hands of every crossbowman, this kind of crossbow can be fired continuously, the recoil is small, and the most important thing is that the range is long enough, thirty zhang, small meaning!

"Woohoo!"

To the sound of the opposing snare drums, the crossbowmen loaded their crossbow arrows with expressionless faces and pulled the trigger.

They didn't aim at all, because in the thick white smoke and haze on the opposite side, it was useless to aim.

As a result, the rain of crossbow arrows like locusts frantically covered the five surnamed Qiwang soldiers who rushed to the bed crossbow.

In the smoke of gunpowder, countless blood flowers suddenly appeared, and those soldiers who shouted and charged, in the running, fell to the ground screaming with crossbow arrows, and countless companions continued to repeat the actions of their companions mechanically......

Under the blows of the repeated Shenwu cannons and the rain of short crossbow arrows, almost none of the attack weapons of the five surnames and seven hopes, the bed crossbows, were spared, and all of them turned into a pile of rotten wood and scrap iron.

The soldiers could no longer pay attention to the sound of the drums, threw down their weapons, shouted wildly, and fled in all directions in great confusion.

In this way, Hu Xin's goal was achieved.

Without losing a single soldier and a general, the army of five surnames and seven wangs was beaten to a pulp, and the ghost cried wolf.

However, this is not just the end, it is just the beginning.

Because behind the gate of the Zheng family's mansion, there are still 8,000 people who were left behind by the high-ranking people of the five surnames and seven wangs to get the army.

The five surnamed Qiwang soldiers, who summed up the experience last time, seem to be much smarter than just now.

They no longer huddle together, like bats coming out, swarming and killing out, but disperse regularly.

As a result, artillery and short crossbows are much less lethal.

And in this breakthrough battle, the five surnamed Qiwang soldiers also hid the archers behind, and kept bending their bows and arrows to counterattack. (To be continued......)
