Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 518
As the fuse burned out, black smoke accompanied by flames emitted from the muzzle of the artillery, accompanied by a low roar, like thunder.

Li Zhong at the head of the city was taken aback.Just as I was about to shout, I felt an earthquake under my feet.Thirty cannons hit the city wall together, and half of the city wall on the north side of the city tower collapsed together, and immediately became dust.

Tian Cheng, Zhang Chi and others in front of the formation were dumbfounded.During military drills these days, I don't know how many times I have tried the power of artillery.But no matter how bold the imagination was, it never occurred to them that the city wall could be destroyed with a single shot.

After being stunned for a moment, Zhang Chi immediately woke up.To Tian Chengdao: "Yu Hou, the city wall has collapsed, do you want to send troops to attack the city?"

"Gong! We can't wait for a moment!" Tian Cheng shouted loudly. "Immediately send the soldiers to order the generals to attack according to the previous arrangement! Whoever dares to miss the opportunity of the battle, the military law will do it!"

Zhang Chi promised.Immediately ordered the soldiers, and ordered the troops in front of the formation to attack the city in sequence.

At this time, the city of Junzhou was in chaos.Li Zhong and several important generals in the army were all dead under the volley just now, and there was no leader for a while, and the chaos was chaotic.This kind of army has no candidates for the leaders, so they don't know what to do.

Wang Yan from the nearby hill looked at Junzhou City, after Wang Xiaolie's army invaded, it was like entering a land without people.Wherever they passed, Li Zhong's army either surrendered or fled, and there was no resistance at all.For a while, it was like a dream.

After a while, Wang Yan rubbed his eyes and said, "If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have thought that this battle would end like this? Wang Xiao didn't know what kind of weapon he used before the battle. Power. You can break the city wall in a moment, so where will there be a strong city in the world? But in a few years, this army has become like this!"

After finishing speaking, he stood there quietly, watching the battle in the city.

When Wang Yan and Wang Xiaolie meet, they are both happy and worried about Wang Xiaolie's rapid growth.The joy is that this is my friendly army, and there is an old friendship in Kaifeng City, which is a great help for me.The worry is, if Wang Xiaolie becomes stronger, will he annex himself.

Li Yanxian in the north was rescued several times by Wang Xiaolie, but he was still unable to protect himself, and finally had to be incorporated into Wang Xiaolie's army.People like Wang Yan saw it, so they naturally stepped up their vigilance.Fortunately, Wang Xiaolie was concentrating on the interior, and treated the envoys around him with courtesy, and everyone gradually relaxed.

Before long, the gates of the city will be wide open, and the resisting chaos will no longer be seen.Zhang Chi was stunned for a moment, and said to Tian Cheng beside him: "The gate of the city has been opened, Marquis Yu, shall we enter the city?"

Tian Cheng nodded and said, "Enter the city! I never thought that this battle would be so easy!"

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help shaking his head, not knowing what to say.Many estimates were made before the battle, but even the boldest guesses did not dare to imagine that the course of the battle would be like this.Li Zhong, with an army of nearly ten thousand, occupied the strong city, but he was unable to fight back.

When Zhang Chi entered the city, he saw chaotic troops everywhere on the side of the road.Putting down the weapon in his hand, he stood there in a daze.These people have fought many battles with Li Zhong, but they have never fought this kind of battle.It was just defeated in the blink of an eye, and it was too late to react.

After entering the state government office, the generals will report in a short time.After listening for a while, Zhang Chi asked strangely: "Where is Li Zhong? Where is Li Zhong?"

Cao Mingdao, who was the first to attack the city, said, "I heard from the captive soldiers that Li Zhong was patrolling the city wall. When we fired the cannon, we happened to be on the city wall to the north of the city tower. When the shell hit, he and several generals were involved in the debris. Among them, I don't know whether it is dead or alive."

Tian Cheng couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, he got up and said: "Zhi Niang, this guy deserves to have a short life. Before the battle, I saw him in the south, and let the artillery beat him for too long. But he didn't expect that this guy ran to the north by himself, One shot killed him!"

Zhang Chi said: "Yu Hou, this may be God's will. Li Zhong has traveled to many places and harmed many places. Today, he was taken by you and me. The so-called good and evil will be rewarded, and who will be spared by the sky?" ?”

Tian Cheng nodded: "That's right, that's right! I wanted to hit him but I couldn't, but this guy bumped into him by himself. Is it God's will? After killing Li Zhong with one shot, our attack on Junzhou went so smoothly. I asked just now, inside Most of the defenders surrendered, and a few fled the city. Our cavalry didn't have to follow behind them, and took them all together!"

Zhang Chi said: "Last night, Wang Zhenfu said that he was [-] miles west of Junzhou City, and Jieshuai asked him to set up an ambush there. Now that we have won a complete victory, no enemy troops have escaped from the city. Do you want to send someone to inform Wang Zhenfu? Let him come directly to Junzhou."

Tian Cheng shook his head: "Jieshuai is not far away at Tutai Post, this kind of decision should not be made by you and me. Immediately report to Jieshuai, saying that Junzhou City has been broken, and you and I are waiting for military orders in the city! Let me mention Wang Zhenfu, who is twenty miles away, and see how Jie Shuai arranges it."

Zhang Chi cupped his hands: "What Yu Hou said is that the last general is hasty."

At this time, Wang Xiaolie was the envoy of Southwest Jinglu Road. In principle, Wang Yan was also a subordinate.However, when the Zhenfu envoy was set up, the imperial court made it clear, analogous to the Tang Dynasty's military town.Except for a few things such as tea and salt, everything is done by myself.Wang Yan is Jin Junfang's governor, how to get along with him is up to Wang Xiaolie to decide.Tian Cheng and Zhang Chi cannot make decisions without authorization.

Just at this moment, a soldier came in, crossed his hands and said: "Yuhou, Tongzhi, there are a few people outside the city who say they are Jin Junfang's governor Wang Yan. We were fighting outside the city just now, and they saw that we won, so they asked to enter the city!" "

Tian Cheng couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "I was just talking about him, why did he come all of a sudden? I saw him when I was in Kaifeng Mansion back then. Let's go and see if it's Wang Yan who came."

Zhang Chi followed Tian Cheng, led by his own soldiers, to the west gate of the city.

At this point the battle was basically over and the city gates were wide open.When they left the city gate, they saw seven or eight people riding horses on the other side of the moat, looking around.Seeing two generals coming out of the city, they hurriedly got off their horses.

Tian Cheng took a closer look and saw that the one in front was Wang Yan.Not daring to be negligent at the moment, he hurried forward to salute.

Wang Yan hurriedly returned the gift.Said: "Forgive me for my poor eyesight, I don't know what came—"

Tian Chengdao: "I was in Xia Tiancheng, and now I am the Marquis of Zuo Yu of the Chinese Army. When I was in Kaifeng Mansion, I was a junior under Jieshuai, and I met the Zhen Fu. It's just that my official position was low at that time, and the Zhen Fu didn't recognize me."

Wang Yan nodded hurriedly: "So that's the case. No wonder I see you with a good face, but I can't remember where I saw it."

In fact, with Wang Yan's status in Kaifeng Mansion, how could he remember Tian Cheng.The two only met once or twice, and they didn't say a word. Maybe even Wang Yan had never seen Tian Cheng, and of course he would not have any impression.It's just that this time and that time, now Tian has become the Marquis of the Chinese Army, able to command the battle independently, and is no longer the small school that he was back then.Wang Yan was also happy to say something nice, which brought the relationship between the two sides closer.
