Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1942 Siege

When the two armies are at war, they both like to call themselves grandpa.

Anyway, in such an occasion, face is not important, as long as you can become the elder of the other party.

On the Qiucheng city tower, another warrior soon charged.

This general is called Gu Kuang, and he is even bigger than Qi Liu just now.

When Xu Xi saw him, he cursed, "I am your grandfather."

Gu Kuang curled his lips: "I am your grandfather."

"His grandma's I will fight with you."

The two of them didn't quarrel much, and immediately became angry and killed.

In a moment, the two of them had gone through multiple moves.

This Xu Xi has been fighting with others for a while now, but his physical strength is still good. When fighting with this ancient madman, he still does not lose the wind, and there is a faint sense of control.

Seeing this situation, Li Ke and others breathed a sigh of relief.

"This general can do it."

"Who says it's not, General Xu is amazing, amazing, really amazing."

"That's right, that's right, it's my Tang Army's good fortune to be able to stand with two fierce generals in a row without losing the wind."

"........."

When everyone was talking like this, Xu Xi suddenly waved his weapon and knocked back Gu Kuang, Gu Kuang frowned and cursed: "What a powerful thief, I won't fight you today, I will fight another day. "

As he said that, Gu Kuang immediately turned his horse's head and fled back. Seeing this situation, Xu Xi became more and more proud, and couldn't help laughing: "Why, you haven't eaten enough, you rebels It’s too stingy, isn’t there even enough food and grass?”

"........."

Xu Xi scolded, but at this time, the morale of the rebel army had already been affected, so Shi Liang didn't let people come out to fight again, but put up the exemption card.

The Tang army yelled at the battle, and the rebels did not go out of the city to fight, and they also felt dull.

Now it was almost noon, and it was too late to attack the city. Li Ke waved his hand and ordered the army to retreat.

In the next few days, Tang Jun sent people to fight every day, but Shi Liang still ordered people to hang up the exemption card and refused to go out of the city to fight.

After such a few days, the morale of the Tang army increased.

"Everyone, what should the rebels refuse to go out of the city to fight?"

That evening, Li Ke called all the generals and ministers together and asked what to do next.

After Li Ke asked like this, all the generals immediately started talking with a smile.

"My lord, I think these rebels are nothing more than that. Since they don't want to go out to fight, then we can attack the city directly."

"That's right, that's right. We have artillery and other things. It shouldn't be difficult to capture the city, right?"

"That is, these rebels are all mobs. As long as they capture the city gate, there is no problem in eliminating them."

"That's right, let's attack the city directly."

"........."

A group of people said excitedly, for them, as long as they attack the city directly like this, there is no problem at all in destroying the rebels in Qiucheng, and if they want to win the rebels in Qiucheng, it will naturally be much easier up.

Seeing what everyone said, Li Ke was also a little moved, because according to the observations of the past few days, the rebel army is indeed not very strong. As long as the city is captured, there should be no problem in destroying them.

After thinking about it this way, Li Ke nodded: "Okay, let's attack the city tomorrow, let's go down and prepare."
-
Winter is here, but the weather is warm.

This kind of situation is very rare in the whole Tang Dynasty. It has to be said that this place is a blessed place on earth.

The same is true for the Tang army. As long as they survive the hardships on the way, after arriving here, they don't have to worry about being attacked by the cold even if they attack the city.

If it is against the enemy in the north, the weather is very cold, and many soldiers can't even hold weapons, so how can they fight?

But here, there is no such worry.

And they feel that the strength of the rebel army is average, so they feel that these credits are specially set for them.

The soldiers and horses came to the city of Qiucheng mightily, but this time, Tang Jun didn't call out again, but directly pulled the artillery over.

They didn't bring many cannons, that is, a dozen or so, but there was no way to do it. From Chang'an City to here, there were many mountains on the way. Indeed, these cannons were very difficult to transport, so they could only reduce the amount used.

But for them, only this point should be enough. After all, this weapon has a great deterrent effect. These rebels are bumpkins. Where have they seen these things?

As long as a few cannons are fired and explode, they won't be scared to the brim.

After setting up more than a dozen cannons, Li Ke shouted loudly: "Last chance, either surrender or die."

Standing on the tower, Shi Liang looked at the cannons with his eyes fixed, and said, "Mr. Wu, this must be the gunpowder invented by Qin Tian, ​​the improved weapon, right?"

Wu Qingyi is familiar with many things about Datang, and he also told Shi Liang about this artillery, he nodded and said: "Yes, this thing is very powerful, after it explodes in the crowd , can break people's eardrums, and even directly bomb people into pieces, but it's not easy for this thing to blow down a city, unless the city is very broken."

These gunpowders are not high explosives, so they are powerful enough to kill people, but it is difficult to blow down the city. When Shi Liang heard this, he nodded in relief and said, "Can the chieftain nearby speak today?"

"They have already sent someone to send the news, and they will arrive in the afternoon. There are about three chieftains joining forces, a total of [-] soldiers and horses."

The soldiers and horses in the hands of the chieftains here are only a little over 1, but they are very united, so there are many people who want their lives, but there are very few who can really kill them.

Hearing that the chieftain would arrive this afternoon, Shi Liang nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, then we just need to hold on until the afternoon."

After talking to Wu Qingyi in this way, Shi Liang shouted at Li Ke: "This general has heard about the bravery and might of His Royal Highness the King of Shu, but it's a pity that our land in Nanzhao is If you want to establish yourself as a king, it’s not good for you Tang to admit it, or not, we are now a country, and if you want us to surrender, you can only step on our corpses, defending our home and defending our country, that’s all our duty.”

"Bah, you're such a brazen thing, you still defend your home and country. This place was originally my Tang territory. Since you rebels don't know how to repent, then don't blame me for being rude. Come, come and rush me."

With an order, the artillery rumbled and everyone was bombarded. After the artillery bombardment, the rebels on the tower panicked for a while.
