Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1356 Occupying the City
The arrival of Qin Tian's reinforcements quickly changed the situation in Jinling City.

The rebels fled under the leadership of King Huainan, Cheng Chumo and others did not pursue, but rushed to Jinling City excitedly.

It had been a long time since they saw Qin Tian, ​​and they all missed their big brother Qin a little bit.

What's more, the firearm that Qin Tian got was too powerful, they were very curious and wanted to see it.

The reinforcements entered the city, and Qin Tian had already greeted them excitedly.

"I really didn't expect that the Holy Majesty sent you here. Well, it seems that you can also take care of yourself."

When I met them back then, they were the kind of teenagers whose hair hadn't even grown yet.

I never thought that time flies, and in the blink of an eye, they have already been recognized by Li Shimin, and they have begun to take charge of their own.

That kind of feeling is very strange, making people feel that time is a good thing, everyone is changing, the only constant is the relationship between them.

"Brother Qin, I really didn't expect you to hold back the rebels for so long with thousands of soldiers and horses."

"Brother Qin is too powerful. Did you invent something so powerful that you persisted for so long?"

"Is it that rumbling thing..."

Several people circled around and brought the topic to firearms.

Obviously, their purpose is this thing, and they want to see it.

How clever Qin Tian is, he can't understand the meaning of their words.

"Let's go, don't talk about it, after entering the city, let you see it."

Qin Tian led them into the city, and then found a place to test the power of the firearm.

At this time, Cheng Chumo and the others heard the sound nearby. After they heard it, they immediately felt that their eardrums were about to be torn, it hurt a little, and their heads were dizzy.

The earwax was shattered.

"Amazing, amazing..."

"My Tang Dynasty has such a sharp weapon, why don't you worry about calming down the Quartet, and see who dares to provoke us in the future."

"........."

A group of people were talking excitedly, Qin Tian shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Okay, although we have repelled the rebels, our mission is not yet completed, let's go back to the living room to discuss."

After speaking, Qin Tian led people into the living room.

The cold wind was blowing outside, and there was a coal stove burning in the living room, and some good wine was warming on it.

"There are still [-] soldiers left in the rebel army. It is not easy for us to get rid of them. I plan to go after the rebel army after two days of rest. What do you think?"

Qin Tian shared his thoughts, and everyone was a little surprised after hearing this.

"Brother Qin, we are not tired, just take a day off, and then we can use our troops against the rebels."

"Yeah, even sending out troops tomorrow is fine. If the rebels are wiped out earlier, we should go back sooner."

"That's right, that's right, why two days..."

Everyone felt that two days was too long. In two days, the rebels might have fled there. In this way, they could easily lose the opportunity.

However, Qin Tian shook his head: "With such a thing as gunpowder, how can we do it without using it? It takes two days to make gunpowder, and then we can wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop."

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that their brother Qin wanted to use this time to make gunpowder.

They feel it is necessary.

Isn't there an old saying that sharpening a knife is not a mistake in chopping firewood. If they get their weapons ready, it will only be faster to destroy the rebels.

"Brother Qin said yes, then we'll wait two days before making a move."

"That is, even if we wait two days to take action, those rebels are definitely not our opponents. It is easy to destroy them."

"........."

After everyone finished speaking, Qin Tian sent someone to send the secret recipe and samples of gunpowder to Chang'an City.

This kind of thing is too dreadful, if he doesn't take the initiative to offer it, I'm afraid Li Shimin will be suspicious of him if someone provokes him a little bit, so it's better to just give it up.

In fact, when he first invented it, he wanted to send it to Chang'an City, but at that time Jinling City was besieged and his people couldn't get out, so he ran aground.

Now that Cheng Chumo and the others are here, it would be unreasonable for him not to send them off.

Tang Jun continued to make gunpowder here.

Here, the rebels finally stopped after fleeing for more than ten miles.

King Huainan's face was very ugly, it could even be described as ferocious.

His soldiers were even more downcast, very depressed.

They had rushed desperately, but in the end they still failed to win.

"Damn, hate, Qin Tian's reinforcements came at the wrong time, hate..."

King Huainan cursed loudly, and all the advisers and generals did not dare to step forward at this time, for fear of touching the bad luck of King Huainan, and Yang Wen, who had proposed the idea before, trembled even more at this time, for fear that King Huainan would take today's defeat. , counted on his head.

If that's the case, he's probably going to be miserable.

Fortunately, the current Huainan King was only angry at the arrival of the reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty, and did not transfer his anger to Yang Wen.

After doing this for a long time, King Huainan's anger subsided a little, and he looked at the crowd and asked, "Now that Qin Tian's reinforcements have arrived, we will definitely not be able to take down Jinling City, and now that the rebellion has become a reality, we have no other choice. What to do next, do you have anything to say?"

Rebellion is a road with no retreat, they can only continue to move forward.

King Huainan asked, everyone looked at each other, and then a general stood up: "My lord, why don't we fight Qin Tian to the death, we have more troops than them, maybe we can defeat them."

After the general finished speaking, someone immediately retorted: "My lord, if the Tang army sticks to Jinling City and does not come out, we will suffer a lot. Even if we fight head-on with them, we have no absolute chance of winning. If you want me to say, It's better to occupy a city, we defend the city, now Qin Tian will definitely put us down, as long as they come, we occupy the power of the city, maybe we can weaken their strength, and when the Tang army is almost weakened, we Let's go out of the city to fight and defeat them directly, what do you think of the prince?"

The idea of ​​the two people can be said to be a judgment, so Huainan King didn't think much about it, so he agreed to the second person's proposal to occupy a city first, and then wait for the Tang army to come to attack.

Over the years, they recruited soldiers and horses, and hoarded a lot of food and grass. They still had some capital to spend with Qin Tian in a city.

"Okay, let's occupy a city first, but do you think it's better for us to occupy that city?"

"My lord, Chuzhou City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. We can consider occupying Chuzhou City."

"Okay, let's take Chuzhou City."
