please make me king

Chapter 1385
"Boom, boom, boom!" With the deafening sound of artillery resounding across the battlefield, heavy iron bullets slammed heavily on the city wall of Dabaiyang Castle.

One or two of them accidentally missed, flew directly into the Dabaiyang Fort, jumped twice, and pierced through several houses.

"General, here...there are two that weigh ten catties, and one that weighs twenty catties!" Not long after, a soldier picked up the shells and came over with a bamboo basket.

"Oh?" The guard of Dabaiyang Castle was still a little unconvinced at first, he couldn't help stretching out his hand to grab it one after another, and his face suddenly changed drastically.

Most people in this era have mastered the ability to roughly estimate the weight with their hands, and when they weigh it for defense, it really yields an unbelievable value.

"How...how is it possible?" According to his shallow knowledge, the "Hongyi Cannon" that can fire these two types of shells is at least between three thousand and sixty-seven thousand catties. How can his little Dabaiyang Fortress resist it? ?

"Then what should we do?" Seeing this, Zuo Zuo couldn't help but turn pale with shock, and suddenly lost his mind.

"Why don't we surrender!" The garrison looked at this and then that, helpless, so he had to suggest.

"Okay, okay, that's a good feeling!" Seeing the posture of the rebel army, everyone knew that they couldn't fight and couldn't defend, and if they didn't surrender, what could they do?

"Ah? Is this going to be lowered?" It was so easy to line up so many cannons at once, Fatty Zhang hadn't had time to enjoy it, but he didn't expect that the lowering flag had already been erected on the city.

Fatty Zhang was straightforward. While dispatching his younger brother Slender Zhang to lead a team to take over the defense of Dabaiyang Fort, he asked the defense of Dabaiyang Fort to lead a hundred people to return to Geyu Fort with him.

Going back and forth like this, sixty li, when the guards of Dabaiyang Fort and Fatty Zhang arrived at the foot of Geyu Fort, it was still dark.

"What? Dabaiyang Fort has fallen!" It was said that Liu Hui, the general of Geyu Fort on Xuanfu Middle Road, was hesitating in the fort, and was shocked when he heard this.

"Yes, yes, the defense of Dabaiyang Castle is shouting at the bottom of the castle!" The soldier who came to report said with a wry smile.

"How is this possible?" Liu Hui didn't dare to answer, "The defense of Dabaiyang Castle is not incompetent, how could it be surrendered so quickly?"

"General, you will find out when you go out and have a look!" the soldier hesitated to speak.

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Liu Hui hurriedly put on her clothes, took the left and right guards up to the tower and looked out, her face changed greatly in shock, and then she understood why the defense of Dabaiyang Fort was surrendered so quickly.

It turned out that outside Geyubao City, twenty "Red Barbarian Cannons" were lined up neatly, pointing obliquely at the city.

In Geyubao City on Thursday, the south wall is only about one mile long.

But this short one-mile city wall is facing the threat of twenty "red barbarian cannons". Who can resist this?
"Could this be carved out of wood?" Liu Hui dared not believe it.

"Whether it's made of wood or not, don't you know if you let Li Shuai fight for a round?" The guard of Dabaiyang Castle under the city shouted angrily after hearing the words.

"Forget it, forget it, I can't be scared, I surrendered, is it okay if I surrender?" Then Liu Hui looked at the "Red Barbarian Cannons" lined up under the city, and then looked at the horses all over the mountains and plains outside the city. Jun, I was so frightened that my legs were weak and my urine was about to flow. How dare I carry it to the end?
You can't fight, you can't defend, you can't run, what if you don't surrender?

Not long after, the gates of Geyu Fort were opened wide, and Zhang Weishi, Li Zicheng, Fatty Zhang and the guards of Dabaiyang Fort were welcomed in respectfully by General Liu Huigong, and Geyu Fort surrendered.

After the fall of Geyu Fort, Liu Hui, the general in charge, did not hide any more. He directly prepared a banquet, invited everyone to sit down, and said truthfully: "To be honest, there are more than [-] officers and soldiers in my middle road." name."

"In addition to the guest army and the defenders of the forts, there are still more than a thousand soldiers stationed at Longmen."

"Yangfang, Qingbiankou, Changyukou, Zhaochuan, Xiaobaiyang, etc., I can tell you in one word, it is really difficult to get down from Duna Longmen Guard City."

"If I get here, I will control the two cities and ten castles on Shangbei Road. This is an unworldly achievement!"

What do you mean?
In fact, that is to say, although most of the castles on Xuanfu Middle Road were taken by the rebels, there was a key Longmen Guard City in the hands of the commander of the Longmen Guards, and they could not surrender upon hearing the wind.

Therefore, the rebels should take advantage of their unpreparedness and quickly attack Longmen Weicheng, so that they can penetrate into the enemy's territory and threaten the connection between the two cities and ten forts on the Shangbei Road of Xuanfu and Baoan, Yanqing, Huailai and other places.

"Okay!" Li Zicheng and Fatty Zhang were overjoyed when they heard the words, and they couldn't help pleading quickly, "In this case, when they are unprepared, please send a letter from Liu Shen, saying that Geyubao is trapped by 'thieves', and ask for their support." .”

"We will select elite soldiers, pretend to be messengers, seize the city gates, and fall into the acropolis in one fell swoop."

"Do my part!" Liu Hui, who had been hesitant before, burst into firm belief after seeing the strength of the rebel army.

He hurriedly ordered someone to fetch pens and ink, and was about to write, when he suddenly remembered something, threw the pen on the ground, laughed and said: "If it is a fake messenger, I am afraid that there will be insufficient manpower."

"Since that's the case, why don't I go there in person and say that the rebel army is so powerful that I can't defend it. I lost the castle and came here to settle down?"

Everyone was shocked at first, and said that Liu Hui was going to change his mind on the spot, never thought that he would come up with such a way, they couldn't help clapping their hands and laughing: "If so, Longmen Weicheng is actually in my pocket!"

Afterwards, Li Zicheng left Zhang Weishi and Fatty Zhang to sit in Geyubao, and led his general Liu Huiqi and more than a hundred guards to march eastward along the side wall.

The crowd traveled about fifty or sixty li, and arrived at the foot of Longmenwei City at about Yinshi.

The guard of the dragon gate was indeed heavily guarded. Seeing someone approaching, he hurriedly waited for it.

At this time, Liu Hui, the general in the middle, hurriedly beat his horse forward and scolded: "You are blind, you don't even recognize this general. Quickly send the commander of the guard, and tell the general Liu Hui to visit."

The defenders of the city have verified their real bodies, how can they dare to neglect?

He apologized a few words in a hurry, and hurriedly sent someone to call the commander of the guard.

Not long after, the commander of the guards opened the door and greeted him personally: "I don't know what happened, how can I ask the general to come here at midnight?"

Seeing that he was unprepared, Liu Hui became more and more delighted. He couldn't help but stepped forward and said with a smile: "There is no one else, just to take your life!"

The commander of the guard was startled when he heard the words, but before he could react, he was bullied by Liu Hui and stabbed him with a "puchi" to the point of chilling his heart.

When Li Zicheng saw that the commander of the guard was gone, he couldn't help being overjoyed, so he rushed in on his horse and killed him.

When Liu Hui cut off the head of the commander of the guard, seeing the chaos in the situation, he couldn't help shouting: "The commander of the guard is dead, when will we wait if we don't surrender now?"

Poor Longmen guards, they don't know what happened, and they don't know who they surrendered to.

Seeing that the situation was stronger than others, they had to abandon their bows, arrows and cannons one by one, and surrendered with nothing.

As a result, the original defense system was perfect, and Xuanfu Middle Road, which had always been on the front line of the war, was conquered by Li Zicheng, Zhang Weishi, and Fatty Zhang overnight, and the situation in Xuanfu changed drastically.
