Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 95 The Final Punishment

In Yaotougang, not only the original residents in the castle were driven out, but even the roads around five miles around were closed, the emperor came.

However, Li Shengtian didn't use his four-horse carriage, yellow umbrella and other things, but simply put on a blue round collar robe and came over.

Queen Cao Yuanxin also followed him in a men's clothing favorite among women in the Tang Dynasty. The two seemed to have a good relationship.

Zhang Zhao secretly glanced behind Li Shengtian, and sure enough, the old monk named Sangha Dharma also followed Li Shengtian with a few rather stout monks.

"Zhang Erlang, come here!" Li Shengtian beckoned to Zhang Zhao, his attire today really felt a bit like Bi Heli and Bai Xiaode.

"Chen, the Minister of the Huangmen, Lieutenant of the Fengtian Army, a member of the Tonghe Palace, who knows about Yao Tougang and Zhang Zhao, see the Son of Heaven!"

Zhang Zhao hurried over to see Li Shengtian, but there was no need to kneel down, a simple bow and bow would do.

"Why are you talking about such a large series of titles? Who here is not higher than your official position? Hurry up and show it to someone!"

Li Shengtian gave Zhang Zhao a blank look with a smile, and motioned him to start quickly. Zhang Zhao vaguely felt an inexplicable restlessness from this great sage emperor!

Zhang Zhaozhan naturally stood next to Li Shengtian, and pushed the governor Zhai of Donghe Prefecture, who had a somewhat ugly face, aside.

This Uighur who came from Gaochang to seek refuge with Li Shengtian cast a gloomy look at Zhang Zhao, while standing in front of the two of them, there was a hint of a smile that Li Shengtian tried his best to hide.

"Fengtian army regrets Shandu Erlang! Defensive team Erlang! Move in!"

After receiving Zhang Zhao's signal, old Zhang Zhong waved a blue flag and roared.

"Wind! Wind! Wind!" After the sound of drums, Erlang of Regret Shandu was fully armored, forming three small square formations with five rows and six rows.

At the front of the phalanx are five sword and shield hands holding wooden bar shields. Their function is to block the arrows shot from the opposite side.

In the second row are three sword-shieldmen holding wooden inlaid iron shields, plus three spearmen.

The role of the round shield hand is to block the heavy arrows thrown from the opposite side, and the spearman is to defend against the enemy's impact with a small probability.

As for the four rows at the back, they are all bowmen, the last two rows are archers, and the front two rows are crossbowmen. Except for the two rhubarb crossbows, the rest are all recently made god-arm bows.

In each phalanx, the officer who is the leader of the team holds the recognition flag of the phalanx and a small command flag.

Whenever the flag is swung down suddenly, the crossbowmen will shoot all arrows.

Wave the flag to the left, and the buckler will be ready to defend against thrown arrows.

Wave the flag to the right, and it's time for the spearmen to prepare.

And when the raised highest recognition flag shakes from side to side, the two nearby small squares will move closer to the middle, and the three small squares will quickly form a large formation.

When the flag is recognized and shaken back and forth, the large formation will sag from the center of the phalanx to the inside, and the two wings will start to spread out. This is when the defenders in the city have begun to attack. The large formation is sunken to allow the enemy to sink in, and then the two wings will outflank and prepare to eat the enemy.

And if the copper whistle that the three teams are talking about blows, the crossbowmen will pick up long weapons such as Mo Dao Bu and prepare for an assault.

Beside Li Shengtian, General Huangmen of Khotan Kingdom, Li Ruoyu, Inspector of Luzhou, Inspector Zhai of Donghe Prefecture, and others stared eagerly at him.

The so-called amateurs watch the excitement, and experts watch the doorway. Zhang Zhao, who has less than 100 people, practiced the six formations of crossbow shooting, covering the army, team formation, defense and assault in a short period of time.

Under the continuous change of formation, the formation is still strict, the soldiers' footsteps are not chaotic, and their advances and retreats are well-founded, especially the bow and crossbow salvo, which is quite neat and precise, showing a very high level of combat quality and experience.

Considering that they are all in armor, this is definitely a brave army. As far as the elite soldiers of the Kara Khanate are concerned, if there is no light and heavy cavalry to cooperate, thousands of infantry may not be able to defeat Zhang Zhao, a hundred people. .

"Reporting to the Lieutenant, the Fenjin team has excavated to a distance of 30 meters from the target, and it is expected to be completed within a quarter of an hour. The Shi team is requesting to plant a skyfire mine at [-] meters from the target!"

The regretful mountain in front showed that the offensive and defensive battle of Shule City was going on fiercely. Suddenly, a miner from the gold division team came out of a very inconspicuous hole, and everyone was shocked.

"Sure!" Zhang Zhao just said lightly, and then cupped his hands at Li Shengtian.

"Son of Heaven, please step back ten steps and let the palace guards guard with shields to guard against flying stones."

Li Shengtian originally wanted to show off the unchanging demeanor of the king of a country, but when he thought of the horrific explosion in Tonghe Hall that day, he nodded and agreed to Zhang Zhao's proposal.

Everyone retreated more than ten steps, and a team of Khotan palace guards also held strip shields, guarding in front of Li Shengtian and Cao Yuanxin.

While waiting silently, Li Shengtian felt that time passed so slowly that he wanted to urge Zhang Zhao several times. Although he was forcibly suppressed in the end, a look of impatience still surfaced on his face.

Finally, just after they got out of the cave of a miner of the gold division team, a figure in only short clothes appeared again. It was Cao Yanming who volunteered to enter the mine to supervise the placement of gunpowder.

"Son of Heaven, Lieutenant, the installation is complete, and the sub-gold team requests to retreat!"

"Permission to withdraw, Shenhuo Lei is ready! Ignite after [-] breaths!"

. . . .

The tens of meters long fuse was wrapped in moisture-proof linen, and Shi Chongmin's head was covered with cold sweat. The godfire thunder sounds scary!

In fact, one thing Zhang Zhao said in the mine was inaccurate. If a skilled miner from the Ministry of War was unlucky, he might only be able to dig out twenty catties of coal a day.

Because at this time there was no blasting method of later generations, coal mining was all done by poor tools.

As a result, many coal reserves in later generations cannot be mined in this era, but what can be mined in this era has excellent natural conditions.

This is also the biggest reason why coal is not popular in the Central Plains, and the cost of mining is too high.

So although Shi Chongmin is a skilled miner, he has never played with gunpowder. When he first arrived in Zhang Zhao, he was almost scared to his knees by Cao Yanming's small firecracker.

There is fire, thunder and smoke!Isn't this the standard configuration of the lower realm of gods and Buddhas?

After praying in his heart for a few seconds, Shi Chongmin broke his heart and lit the fuse. He is now less than 50 meters away from the explosion point. If he is unlucky, the explosion may collapse the hole and bury him.

chi chi!The flame of the fuse was extremely conspicuous in the dark tunnel, and Shi Chongmin began to crawl outside quickly with hands and feet holding back the urge to urinate.

But before he had climbed far, he felt the whole tunnel shake violently. Before he reached the safety pit, he felt as if someone punched him hard in the buttocks in the dark. The force was so great that he forcibly held back his urine. Hammered out.

The warm feeling filled his crotch. Shi Chongmin breathed the smell of his own crotch, and desperately rushed towards a safety pit dug in advance.

As soon as he fell into the pit, the moment he covered the iron plate, he saw violent golden flames instantly filling the entire tunnel, and the howling hot wind seemed to heat up the iron plate.

. . . .

Li Shengtian opened his mouth wide in horror. He had never seen such a terrifying scene. The three-meter-high and four-meter-wide city wall in Yaotougang in the distance seemed to be slammed by a god's hammer.

It sank down first, and then exploded suddenly. In the eyes of everyone, the entire city wall first slowly collapsed, and then suddenly shattered like a goddess scattered flowers!

In the huge explosion that was louder than thunder, accompanied by golden flames, the earth seemed to tremble, and the mud and stones that flew out covered the entire river behind them.

Inspector Zhai was so frightened that he jumped into the river directly.

Li Ruoyu sat down on the ground and panted heavily.

Master Sangha Dharma, Uncle Wang, knelt on the ground with a plop, trembling and chanting Buddha's name incessantly.

Cao Yuanxin opened his hands and stood in front of Li Shengtian with a pale face, already crying out of fright.

The palace guards were staggered from the shock, and their sanity desperately tried to protect Li Shengtian.

Or the lonely king is the calmest!Li Shengtian smiled complacently, but then he saw Zhang Zhao with a calm face. He had a faint smile on his face, as if he was laughing at Governor Zhai who jumped into the river and was thrashing about.

'Boom! Li Shengtian, who was laughing maniacally, kicked Zhang Zhao's ass with little force, but when Zhang Zhao saw Li Shengtian's meaningful eyes, he quickly took advantage of the situation and jumped into the river.

have to!This is the moment when Uncle Tianzi pretends to beep alone, and he must cooperate.

Zhang Zhao, who entered the water, swam over to Inspector Zhai, and after pouring a few sips of water on the Uighur, he still had to be rescued.

"Nanwu Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva! Son of Heaven, Shule City will belong to our Yuchi family! Dajin Kingdom can finally make up his last piece, and our Buddhist believers in Balasagun are saved!"

Sangha Dharma proclaimed the Buddha's name, and looked at Li Shengtian with tears in his eyes. This eminent monk who has been a monk for more than [-] years excitedly said the words Yuchi's family.

"Uncle Wang! The Lonely King can finally fulfill the last wish of his father and King Xuan (Li Shengtian's great-grandfather Yuchi Nanta, King of Khotan Restoration)! Those who recite Buddhism will eventually be punished!"
