Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1361 Siege
Qin Tian and the others stayed in Jinling City for two days. During these two days, they manufactured gunpowder on a large scale, and then made it into a loud noise.

Two days later, Qin Tian led his soldiers and horses to chase Huainan King in the direction where he fled.

After chasing him for a few days, they heard some news about King Huainan.

"My lord, when Huainan King went to Chuzhou City, Chuzhou Inspector Ouyang Bo offered the city directly without even the slightest resistance."

After hearing the news, Cheng Chumo and the others were immediately annoyed.

"This Ouyang Bo turned out to be such a spineless person who surrendered to the rebels without even resisting. Damn, hate."

"That's right, after I go to Chuzhou City and destroy the rebels, I'm going to kill him with a single knife."

"I'm one of them too, and I'll kill him with a knife."

"........."

Everyone was very angry, but Qin Tian was calmer.

He knew very well what would happen if two thousand soldiers fought against tens of thousands of rebels. He had also experienced it in Jinling City. With the ability of Ouyang Bo, governor of Chuzhou, he couldn't even hold it for half a day.

So, does he have any other option than to surrender?
Of course, Qin Tian also felt that Ouyang Bo was a bit spineless by doing this, a man, if he can't keep it, he will die, what's the matter?
When thinking like this, Qin Tian smiled wryly, because he suddenly thought that if he encountered this kind of situation, he probably wouldn't be foolishly waiting to die.

I should run away.

However, Ouyang Bo did not run away.

Qin Tian frowned slightly, and seemed to have some vague guesses, but he didn't know if his guess was correct.

The soldiers and horses continued to move forward, and after a few days, they arrived at Chuzhou City.

At this time, the gate of Chuzhou City was closed tightly, and the patrolling soldiers on the tower did not dare to stop for a moment.

Qin Tian's spies told Qin Tian about the situation.

"Brother Qin, do we want to attack the city?" Cheng Chumo was impatient, and now he wanted to try the power of the thunderous sound, and then fight the rebels.

Qin Tian was not in a hurry, and said, "Wait a minute, tomorrow, it's getting late today, let's rest first."

They had traveled a long distance along the way, and they really didn't have much rest. Under such circumstances, attacking the city is obviously disadvantageous. Even if they have such things as shaking the sky, they must be fully prepared.

Tang Jun set up camp five miles outside Chuzhou City and rested for one night.

Early the next morning, Qin Tian brought his soldiers and horses to the city of Chuzhou.

King Huainan, who had already received the news, was already standing on the tower. He looked very high-spirited, and even more dismissive of Qin Tian who was under the city.

And he felt that he had the capital to disdain Qin Tian.

Because the city walls of Chuzhou City are fairly strong, and there are not as many soldiers and horses in his city as Qin Tian, ​​he has an absolute advantage in defending the city.

In comparison, it was impossible for Qin Tian to capture the city.

"Qin Tian, ​​Feng Shui turns around. If you attack the city today, I will severely damage you and your troops. I want revenge."

Qin Tian smiled: "What Feng Shui turns, the prince seems to have escaped here?"

"you……"

Qin Tian shrugged and said: "Give the prince one last chance. If you are willing to surrender, the Holy One is merciful and can spare your life. But if you still refuse to surrender, what will the prince face after capturing Chuzhou City?" situation, it’s hard to say.”

King Huainan curled his lips: "You threaten me, do you think I'm afraid of your threat?"

When the two disagreed, they began to swear again. After a few words of swearing, King Huainan was not Qin Tian's opponent, so he didn't bother to say much, and cursed: "If you have the ability, you come to attack the city, what are you talking about so much nonsense?" ?”

"Okay, if you attack the city, you will attack the city."

A slight smile appeared on the corner of Qin Tian's mouth, and he ordered someone to pull out the catapult. The place where they were located was far away from the city tower, and they would definitely not be able to pass it by hand, so they could only use the catapult.

After the trebuchet was pulled, Qin Tian waved his hand and shouted, "Launch."

With an order, Zhentianxiang flew directly towards the tower, and after flying to the tower, it exploded immediately.

However, if some speeds are too fast, they may fall to the ground early, because the porcelain pots are used, and the situation will be very bad after landing early. This thing will not explode, and it will turn into sparks if it is opposed.

This is the disadvantage of the loud noise now. When you have time in the future, wrap the gunpowder with something like sheepskin, and even if it falls to the ground, it will still explode.

But now, they can only use these things instead.

The sky-shattering sound rumbled on the towers of Chuzhou City, and the bombed rebels dodged everywhere, unable to defend the city at all.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang Jun rushed over quickly, because the thunderous sound was not powerful enough to blow a hole in the city wall, so after the thunderous sound passed, they still wanted to attack the city.

And once the Tang army attacked the city tower, Zhen Tianxiang could no longer be used, and the ones who were used again were likely to be injured by their own soldiers and horses. They were a little bit cautious.

At this time, the rebels rushed up again, and they began to use sharp arrows, boulders, knives and guns to prevent the Tang army from attacking the city.

Without the power of the thunderous sound, today's siege is no different from before.

Shocking the sky can't blow open the city gate, so his only left and right will become the city's initial deterrent to the enemy.

The effect is there, but it still cannot play the role of deciding the outcome.

In the end, it still depends on people to attack the city.

It's just that there are many rebels in the city, and the Tang army's soldiers and horses are similar to those of the rebels, but they don't have any advantage in attacking the city.

After attacking like this for a whole day, they failed to capture Chuzhou City at dusk.

Qin Tian's face became a little gloomy and ugly.

Cheng Chumo cursed angrily.

"Why is Chuzhou City so difficult to attack? Damn Ouyang Bo, if he didn't sacrifice the city, why would we be so aggrieved?"

Qin Huaiyu didn't open his mouth, he just glanced at Qin Tian, ​​Qin Tian smiled wryly and shook his head: "Today we can't take down the city, call for gold and retreat, and then find a way."

The power of the thunderous sound does not have the ability to break mountains and rocks. If they attack the city like this, it will only give them an advantage at the beginning.

Now that they can't take the city, they can only think of other ways.

The Tang army retreated, the dusk fell, and the whole city of Chuzhou looked gray.

Standing on the tower, King Huainan watched the retreating Tang army, and tasted the taste of victory for the first time. At the beginning, he also wanted Qin Tian to retreat with his soldiers and horses. Now, he finally let Qin Tian also taste this. taste.

"Hmph, with Chuzhou City here, I'll give you a year, and you won't even think about breaking it. When your strength is weakened, this king will kill you, and then plot the entire Tang Dynasty."

With this victory, King Huainan naturally had the hope of conspiring against the Tang Dynasty.
