Chapter 175 My Imperial Uncle Is Gone
As the drums sounded, the battle supervisors stepped forward one after another. Under the threat of weapons, the guards and strong men who defended the city reluctantly took up their bows and shot arrows, but the accuracy and strength can be imagined.

Although the common people have never read a book and cannot read a few words, they also have their own ideas. If it is the Mongols who kill and slaughter the city at every turn, then they will definitely resist, but now the people who attack the city are all locals from Shandong. , everyone may still be related, why should you resist?

Even if the rebels are repulsed, what good will they gain, nothing good, no one would be so stupid to go all out for the sake of officials and gentlemen.

The idea of ​​the guards is simpler, that is to surrender. After all, the treatment of the rebels is much better than they are now.
boom! boom! boom!
Thousands of stones and iron beads were shot out from the muzzle of ten tiger squatting guns. The stones and iron beads rained down on the army outside the city, but they began to descend after flying a distance of fifty or sixty feet. In front of the army, it did not cause much damage at all.

On the city tower, Gao Ting watched this scene and sighed in his heart. Although he didn't have much experience in leading soldiers, he was still a general's son. He knew that this was due to the lack of gunpowder, which led to the lack of power. Normally, the tiger The squatting cannon can hit 150 feet away.

At this time, under the cover of wooden mantle chariots, rolling chariots, and rushing chariots, the army slowly approached the moat.

boom!boom!boom!
The Hongyi cannon began to show its power, the shells hit the city wall, and the bricks and stones splashed for a while. At the same time, the arrow tower was also close to the range of fire. Hundreds of archers took advantage of their height to shoot at the archers on the city wall. , for fire suppression.

As bags of sand and gravel were thrown into the moat, it didn't take long for sand and gravel roads several feet wide to appear in the moat. The next moment, the ladder behind followed closely, and there were hundreds of ballistas Also follow closely.

At the same time, Gan Yang, Wu Feng, and Peng Guan also flew to the arrow tower.

Snapped!
The ladder leaned against the city wall, and the claw hooks in front of it were tightly hooked on the city wall. A strong man held a shield in one hand and kept climbing up with a knife in his mouth.

On the city wall, a small flag from the guard station threw a big stone down, and the strong man was thrown under the city wall with his body and shield, and his life and death were unknown.

"Knock down the ladder!"

Seeing this scene, Liu Yingjiu shouted loudly that the strength of the rebel army was several times that of theirs. In addition, the soldiers defending the city did not have much fighting spirit. Once the rebel army was allowed to climb the city wall, the city would not be able to defend.

Hearing Liu Yingjiu's words, a Qianhu from Qingzhou Zuowei rushed forward with his men.

Seeing a master approaching the ladder, Gan Yang pulled away the strong bow in his hand. At his level, ordinary bows and arrows are no longer useful, so the bows and arrows are all specially made. The bow body is made of iron, and it is mixed with The arrows shot by Xuan Tie are as fast as lightning, and they are infused with internal strength, so powerful that even experts of the same level dare not take it head-on.

Whoosh!
The long arrow left the string and shot at one of the hundreds of households at lightning speed!
puff!
Arrow through the heart!
"Rewind, there are sharp archers, go up to defend the city and crash the car!"

The sudden long arrow startled Qianhu in the guard, retreated behind the wall, and shouted hastily.

After a while, a crash car with a long ram at the front was pushed up the city wall.

Looking at the crash, Gan Yang frowned, and raised his bow and arrow again, but the guards pushing the cart were tightly protected by the crash, leaving him nowhere to attack. In desperation, Gan Yang had no choice but to put down his bow and arrow. Internal strength is also limited, and it is not worth it to shoot some ordinary soldiers.

boom! boom! boom!
Under the collision of the car, it didn't take long for the ladder to be broken and fell backwards.

At this time, the sound of drums and shouts of killing came from the south wall, and immediately after that, the sound of drums and shouts of killing came from the east wall.

Hearing the sound of the drum, Liu Yingjiu's expression darkened. The enemy had divided their troops, and the rebels were stronger than them. The division of the opponent's troops meant that they should also divide their troops, otherwise the other city walls would definitely not be able to stop them.

"Chen Qianhu, please take 800 people to the south for support."

Liu Yingjiu looked at Chen Min, a thousand households of Jinyiwei in Qingzhou Mansion, who was not able to mobilize many masters at the moment. There were not as many first-class fighters in Jinyiwei Yamen in Qingzhou Mansion as there were in Jinan Mansion, and there were only six of them in total, plus Prince Heng's mansion. Two people, these eight people are all the masters in Fucheng, although there are still some second-rate warriors supported by those wealthy families, and there are also second-rate warriors in some martial arts gyms in the city, but he can't mobilize them.

After a pause, Liu Yingjiu looked at the Tongzhi He Yu on the other side, and said solemnly: "Tongzhi He, you take people to support the east. Most of the opponent's forces are concentrated here. You must guard the other two walls."

"Yes!"

After He Yu and the two agreed, they hurriedly led them away.

Not far from Liu Yingjiu, Gao Ting watched He Yu and Chen Min lead the people away, a look of strangeness flashed in his eyes, and his thoughts turned sharply.

At this time, more and more ladders were leaning against the city wall, and more and more soldiers were climbing towards the city wall. The Hongyi cannons on the fort in the distance had stopped firing, and the ballistas and crossbows were attacking more frequently. The dense rain of arrows made the guards on the city wall dare not attack again.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ting narrowed his eyes slightly. After contemplating for a long time, he walked aside and whispered a few words to his own soldiers, who then left quietly.

At this moment, Liu Yingjiu looked nervously at the battlefield, and didn't see Gao Ting's small movements.

Not long after, the first soldier boarded the city wall, and the battlefield began to tilt. Liu Yingjiu quickly sent the soldiers around him and two hundred households of Jinyiwei from Qingzhou Prefecture to the city wall, and only then could the situation be saved.

At this moment, Gao Ting walked up to Liu Yingjiu suddenly, and put a knife on Liu Yingjiu's neck.

"Gao Ting, what do you want to do? Rebellion?"

Seeing the sharp blade on her neck, Liu Yingjiu said angrily.

"It's nothing, I just don't want to die!"

Looking at the frightened Liu Yingjiu, Gao Ting calmly said: "Now Qingzhou Mansion is doomed to be unable to defend, continue to defend it, and when the city is broken, we will surely die, so prefect Liu please be a nomination certificate for me. "

Hearing Gao Ting's words, Liu Yingjiu felt chills all over. Qingzhou City was already in danger. Now that Gaoting is in civil turmoil, it can be said that Qingzhou City is over.

However, Liu Yingjiu's psychological quality is still passable, and he calmed down quickly, and persuaded: "Commander, why are you bothering? The imperial court treats you well, why don't you do this?" Isn't it ungrateful?"

"Not thin?"

Hearing this, Gao Ting sneered and said: "My family ancestor fought with the Taizu, went through life and death, walked countless times before the gate of hell, and finally left the post of commander of the guard for future generations, but you shitty scholars have nothing to do. In addition to the power to govern the world is not enough, but also to annex the military power, Lao Tzu, a third-rank guard commander, is still obsequious in front of you, a fourth-rank official."

"Forget it, that bastard Bingbei Dao, a fifth-rank criminal, can point at my nose and swear at me. Every time I change Bingbei Dao to take office, I have to come to the door to give gifts, a little bit If it doesn’t go according to your wishes, it’s just a letter of impeachment, you motherfuckers call this a good thing, according to what you say, I still have to kneel and kowtow three times to thank you for leaving me an official position!”

Speaking of this, Gao Ting roared angrily: "My ancestors worked hard with Taizu on the battlefield to earn this official and half-job heir!"

"Why do you rely on it! Just rely on the bullshit sage books you have read in those years?"

At this time, Gaoting's soldiers had already started to turn against the water on the city wall, and the whole city wall became a mess for a while, and the other guards, thousands and hundreds of households, froze in place, not knowing who to help.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ting yelled angrily: "Brothers, kill these nonsense civil servants and join Su Qianhu!"

Gao Ting's words immediately ignited the anger in the hearts of many thousands of households. Qingzhou Zuowei was stationed in Qingzhou Prefecture, and none of the thousands or hundreds of households present had ever been bullied by civil officials!

Of course, the main reason is that Gaoting has rebelled. More and more rebels climbed onto the city wall. This Qingzhou City will definitely not be able to keep it. If you continue to resist, you will have a dead end. It is better to surrender. At least you can save your life. Besides, with the contribution of dedicating the city, Su Hao can't treat them badly.

The next moment, everyone led their soldiers and surrounded the two Jinyiwei households in Qingzhou Mansion, with a murderous look on their bodies.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yi and Xie Zhao were frightened and said: "Brothers, we are a hundred households of Jinyiwei, not civil servants. If you want to kill, don't find the wrong person!"

"Two hundred households, now we are going to seek refuge with Su Qianhu, how about you?"

A thousand households said, although they have personal soldiers to help them, Chen Yi and Xie Zhao are first-class fighters, and if they really want to kill them, they must have a hard time.

"We do too!"

Chen Yi hurriedly said, taking refuge in Su Hao might not have a good end, but if they don't, they probably won't end well either. There is a high probability that they will die here. There are still three first-rate fighters with bows and arrows waiting for them to show their flaws on the arrow tower outside. .

As soon as the thousands and hundreds of households of Qingzhou Guard surrendered, it was even more impossible for the other guard soldiers and Xiangyong to resist, and they dropped their weapons one after another.

Outside the city, Tian Ming, who was directing the battle on the building car, was also a little dazed. They obviously didn't instigate rebellion, so why did some people turn against the water temporarily? Take control of the battlefield.

After controlling the battlefield, Gan Yang and Wu Feng rushed to the south gate and east gate with their troops to support Jiang Shizhong and Liang Ping.

...

Prince Heng's mansion, in the mansion at this time, King Heng Zhu Yiwok and his son Zhu Changyushu both looked pale, the high court was reversed, and the city wall was lost!

Zhu Yi said in a low voice: "My lord, take your younger brothers and leave Qingzhou Mansion immediately. My father has already sent Guard Cui and the others to go to the west gate. After you go, take Guard Cui and the others to hurry to the capital!"

"Father, you also come with us."

Hearing the meaning of farewell in Zhu Yiwok's words, Zhu Changxuan hurriedly said.

"I can't leave because of my father."

Zhu Yipan shook his head and said: "The vassal king has the responsibility to guard the land. Once my father abandons the city and flees, then the capital will definitely punish you. As long as your father stays here, the capital will not punish you."

Before, he wanted to send out the wealth in the palace and Zhu Changshuo and his brothers, but was stopped by Liu Yingjiu.

Zhu Changyu's face was pale and he said, "Father!"

"Go now!"

Zhu Yipan said coldly: "If you don't leave, it will be too late!"

"Do you want to make it worthless to die for your father?"

Hearing Zhu Yiwok's words, Zhu Changxuan gritted his teeth, turned his head and left.

...

Not long after Zhu Changyu and his concubine brothers left, Tian Ming brought his soldiers to Prince Heng's mansion.

At this time, Prince Heng's mansion was in chaos, the maids and guards were scrambling for all kinds of valuables, and after Tian Ming arrived with the soldiers, they fled away in a swarm.

When Tian Ming led people into the Chengyun Hall, King Heng Zhu Yipan and his concubine were sitting on the big seats.

"My lord, my Qianhu family is waiting in Jinan Mansion, please."

Looking at the majestic Zhu Yiwok, Tian Ming said calmly, although Qingzhou Prefecture has already been captured by them, Zhu Yiwok, as a prince, has his status and status, so he can't dispose of it at will. This is a rule, and now only Su Hao has this power, if he crosses the line, he will only bring disaster on himself.

"Humph!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yipan snorted coldly, but said nothing. He had to bow his head under the eaves. Putting on airs in front of these rebels would only make him more embarrassed.

...

After counting and registering the wealth and treasures in the palace, Tian Ming mobilized a large number of civilians and soldiers to transport all the wealth and treasures back to Jinan Mansion.

.........

On the other side, after four days of trekking, Zhu Changyushu finally rushed to the capital under the protection of many guards.

As the son of a vassal prince, Zhu Changshuo's status is not low, and he has attracted the attention of countless people as soon as he entered the capital. Under the escort of Jin Yiwei, Zhu Changshuo met Zhu Youjian.

Seeing Zhu Changxuan, a familiar thought popped up in Zhu Youjian's mind.

My imperial uncle is gone!

At this time, Zhu Changxuan was crying with snot and tears about the brutality of the rebels, and at the same time telling about Zhu Yiwok's loyalty to live and die with Qingzhou Fucheng.

"Uncle Wang is sad, I will avenge my uncle."

Looking at Zhu Changyu who was full of snot and tears, Zhu Youjian said with relief: "Uncle Wang, please stay in the capital first. After the rebellion is put down, I will decree that Uncle Wang will inherit the throne of King Heng."

He was not very angry about the fall of Qingzhou Fucheng, because he had known for a long time that these fuchengs in Shandong could not be defended. Now the entire Shandong soldiers and horses have been burned by Wang Congyi, and the strength of the rebel army has reached 10,000+. It is impossible for the thousands of guards in the middle to stop them.

Of course, he didn't let King Heng and King Lu leave Shandong. The vassal kings have the responsibility to guard the land. If the Zhu family doesn't even guard the Zhu family themselves, who else can they rely on?

So he would rather let Prince Heng's family die in Su Hao's hands than let Prince Heng's family leave Qingzhou City, but now that Zhu Changyu escaped to the capital alive, he has no intention of pursuing it.

...

A while later, Han Yu, Qian Longxi and other cabinet elders also came to Qianqing Palace one after another.
