Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 745

What awakened Fu Yun was not a person, but a nightmare.

"Do not kill me!"

Fu Yun was awakened by the nightmare, sweating profusely sitting on the couch in a daze, and the servants serving him all knelt on the ground, motionless.

After a while, King Tianzhu hurried over when he heard the news that Fu Yun had woken up.

"How is Khan?"

Fu Yun came back to his senses and grabbed the Tianzhu King.

"How is it outside now?"

"The Tang army has surrounded Fuqi City." Tianzhu King said bitterly.

"So fast?" Fu Yun asked, "How long have I been in a coma?"

"One day."

Fu Yun scratched his head and asked: "Is it true that King Dazhao and King Haizhu are attached to rebellion?"

"Yes, they are just outside the city." King Tianzhu gritted his teeth and said, "Khan shouldn't have trusted these two guys. Back then they didn't even dare to shoot an arrow at Tang Jun!"

Speaking of this, King Tianzhu remembered what he had been tricked again, and became even more furious.

Fu Yun was silent for a long time, without saying a word.

Seeing this, King Tianzhu endured the pain and said: "Khan, apart from Murong Shun and other traitors who made trouble, there are also many new faces in the Tang army, and the strength of the army has increased. The leading general is not Luo Shixin. It's Li Jing."

"Li Jing?" Fu Yun murmured first, then his face turned pale, "Is that the Li Jing who defeated the Turks?"

"Yes."

Fu Yun's head was dizzy, he no longer thought about how Li Jing suddenly appeared behind him, he only thought about how he would be killed.

But King Tianzhu told Fu Yun his guess, "If my guess is correct, Li Jing is also a soldier of the Tang army, and he is a very secretive one. He probably crossed the mountains and arrived at Juruchuan to join Luo Shixin. Afterwards, King Dazhao and King Haizhu surrendered without a fight, which made Li Jing catch us by surprise."

"What's the use of saying this now?" Fu Yun said coldly: "The Tang army is approaching the city, our top priority is to repel them!"

King Tianzhu said submissively: "But we only have [-] soldiers and horses in our city, and the other side has [-] to [-] troops."

"Catch people and defend." Fu Yun grabbed Tianzhu King's arm and yelled at him with almost all his strength, "Let everyone in the city defend the city!"

"Yes!"

With a mobilization order, all men, women, old and children in Fucheng City were arrested to defend the city, built fortifications, and rammed earth to repair the city wall.

At a glance, it was full of human heads.

Fu Yun came to the top of the city under the protection of the guards. Looking at the Tang army camped below and the endless tents, his face was pale.

How to do?
Can you stop it?

At this moment, several cavalry came rushing down below, and the leaders of them were Dazhao Wang and Haizhu Wang.

"Rebels!" Tianzhu King roared, "You two rebels!"

King Dazhao and King Haizhu looked at each other and smiled wryly. They didn't want to come, but Li Jing asked them to come and shout, so they had to come.

Heartbroken, the King of Dazhao shouted: "Khan, His Majesty the Emperor is merciful. As long as you are willing to open the city and surrender, he will buy you a house in Chang'an and will never hurt you."

Fu Yunqi's cheeks were flushed, if he went to Chang'an, he would still be a fish on someone else's chopping board, and his life and death would be in the hands of Emperor Tang.

"Why did you betray me!" Fu Yun shouted.

King Haizhu shouted back, "I didn't betray Khan, I just fought to the end for Tuyuhun's survival."

"Traitor!" Fu Yun punched the wall, and said bitterly, "Even if you attack Fucheng City, you don't want to win. Dayan Mangjiebo will come back soon, and you will be dead by then!"

He has no way out, surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, or seeking peace is useless, so he can only defend Fuqi City and wait for Dayan Mangjiebo's rescue.

The two sides scolded and fought for a while, then retreated one after another.

Inside the Tang army camp.

"General Li, when are we going to attack the city?" Murong Shun said, "Dayan Mangjiebo is definitely on his way back to help. If we can't take the king city before he comes back, we will be in a hard fight then."

Luo Shixin was also very concerned about this question, and looked at Li Jing, waiting for his answer.

Li Jing smiled, "Be safe and don't be impatient, Fucheng City will be destroyed tonight."

Hearing this, Murong Shun said: "General Li, don't underestimate the enemy. If I'm not wrong, they probably have already mobilized the whole city to defend the city. This battle is not easy."

Li Jing didn't answer him, still looking inscrutable.

Without an answer, everyone could only return to the camp bored.

Tang Jun's own people were left, Luo Shixin couldn't help but said: "Mr. Wei, what Murong Shun said is not unreasonable. Fu Yun is at the end of the road, and he will definitely stick to Fu Tong. If we attack by force, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses."

"I know." Li Jing said: "Don't worry, tonight you will know how I am going to break through Fucheng City."

Hearing this, Luo Shixin pursed his lips and said, "We will wait and see."

Soon, the sky darkened.

The defense of Fucheng City is still very tight. The Tang army has not attacked the city since the siege, so they dare not take it lightly.

In the dark night, the torches flickered.

Teams of strict guards pushed a few cars covered with black cloth and slowly followed the large army.

It didn't stop until about [-] steps away from Fucheng City.

At this time, the defenders of Fucheng City had discovered Tang Jun, and they quickly blew their horns and called for their comrades to stand by.

The atmosphere of silence was particularly dull, like a prelude to an approaching storm.

Li Jing brought Luo Shixin and Cheng Mingzhen to the middle of the team and stood beside the cars.

"This is my method of breaking the city."

"What is this?" Luo Shixin and Cheng Mingzhen looked at the object under the black cloth strangely at the same time.

Li Jing said: "When this thing was born, the strong city will no longer be a strong city."

Ok?
When the two were puzzled, Li Jing waved his hand, and several craftsmen walked over, and they bowed their hands to Li Jing to salute.

"Wei Gong, the ammunition is ready."

"let's start."

After finishing speaking, Li Jing pulled Cheng Mingzhen and Luo Shixin back two steps to make room for the craftsmen.

The craftsmen lifted the black cloth to reveal the cannon inside.

The black gun barrel was aimed at Fucheng, and an extremely dangerous aura slowly emanated.

Luo Shixin looked at the five artillery wagons, tilted his head strangely and asked, "Mr. Wei, what exactly is this?"

"Cannon." Li Jing said solemnly.

On the eve of the expedition, the emperor took him to see the power of the artillery. At that time, he was shocked by the terrible destructive power and didn't recover for a while.

I think he is familiar with military books and knows the sharp weapons in the army of the past dynasties.But artillery, he has never heard or seen.

Its power far surpasses equipment such as catapults, lathes and crossbows, and it can be called a city destroyer.It is precisely because of the existence of this thing that he dared to take the risk of attacking Fucheng City.Because he knew that as long as he could lead his army to Fucheng City.

He can hit it!

Dozens of craftsmen worked together to fill the five cannons with ammunition and looked at Li Jing after everything was ready.

"Mr. Wei!"

Li Jing nodded heavily.

The craftsmen suppressed their excitement, looking forward to the first actual combat of the artillery.

They marched along the way, just to test the power of the artillery in actual combat.

The craftsmen took the torches, and the burning flames fell on the fuzes.

laugh!
Five fuzes were ignited simultaneously and burned at an extremely fast speed.

All eyes were on the burning fuse, waiting for it to burn into the barrel.

boom!
Boom!

Boom boom boom!
Five thunderous explosions sounded suddenly in the dark night.

It was so abrupt and so loud that the sound of the cannon would startle anyone who wasn't prepared for it.

Within ten breaths, an explosion came from Fucheng City ahead.

Boom!

The flames flickered, illuminating the night.
