Jian Sui Daye

On July [-]th, Qingzhou City, which had just recovered its calm, became lively again.

Early in the morning, Gao Xing appeared in military uniform on the square in front of the West City Gate and read out a call for rebellion. The target was naturally Chen Qian, who had launched a riot a few days ago.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance. For Chen Qian and others, happiness is naturally the oppression of Zhou Papi, and his approach will naturally receive strong support from other rich people, but for the majority of poor people in the city, Happy is their dearest person. When they were most difficult, Happy gave them land, reduced taxes, and gave them the capital and hope to live.

The accumulation of capital is naturally full of blood and fire, especially Xiang Chen Qian, a landlord with a big business, has committed a lot of crimes, and the chaos of the government in the late Northern Qi Dynasty gave Chen Qian and others a stage to play .

Gao Xing first read out the crimes committed by Chen Qian's family, such as murder and arson, stealing chickens and dogs, buying and selling by force, and so on.

Then, Gao Xing changed the subject of the conversation, and sternly reprimanded Chen Qian for being cruel and unkind, and led the Jeju Army to attack, and even the people in Qingzhou City ignored it. The practice of no difference immediately angered the people of Qingzhou City. They condemned Chen Qian for a while, and the voice of overthrowing the tyranny of the imperial court reached a climax.

Gao Xing naturally issued an order to launch an attack on the Chen Mansion to eliminate all dangerous factors that would destroy the stability of Qingzhou City and endanger the people's living and working in peace and contentment.

Next, Gao Xing sat on a tall maroon horse in military uniform, and surrounded by Qin Qiong and Ling Xiaoyun, he carried a hundred catapults, two thousand civilian men, and a company of soldiers from the west city gate. All the way to the Chen Mansion in a mighty way.

Lu Zhishen had already received Gao Xing's order, and when Xing Xing brought his catapult to Chen's house one mile away, Lu Zhishen had already led two brigades of soldiers to stand ready.

After the battle six days ago, the Qingzhou Army has been completely reborn, and seeing the young men standing up straight like a pine, with a look of sternness on their faces, without squinting, the forest of knives and guns shining brightly in the sun, this team is obviously less immature , a little more perseverance and bravery.

The Chen Mansion has high walls, thick walls, and fortified barriers, like a small war castle. However, the troops inside are limited and their morale is low. Compared with the regular army, there is still a gap. It takes some effort, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of manpower.

But Xing Xing came prepared today, the mere Chen Mansion is nothing in his eyes.

"My lord, when will the attack begin,"

Lu Zhishen came to Gao Xing with strides, and there was a clear and chilling sound of armor and weapons colliding. Lu Zhishen looked at Xing Xing excitedly, gearing up.

The reason why Lu Zhishen was so excited was not only the warlike factor in his blood, but also the bad breath in his chest. He has always been responsible for the safety of Qingzhou City, but there was a big disturbance on July [-]th. If Zhang Shunzhi hadn't arrived in time, he would be happy Trying to turn the tide, maybe the city of Qingzhou has changed its name. Lu Zhishen, while blaming himself, naturally wishes to eat Chen Qian's flesh and drink his blood. Now that the opportunity is in front of him, how can Lu Zhishen not be excited.

"Don't worry, tell me to go down, shout to me, and blow their morale," Gao Xing calmly looked at the Chen Mansion who was actively preparing for the battle, and said lightly when he heard the "creaking" sound of the catapult noose beside him.

After Lu Zhishen conveyed the happy order, this gang, like Lu Zhishen, had long wanted to start a fight, and the soldiers, who had given up a sigh of relief, immediately used their breastfeeding strength and started yelling at the Chen family.

"Chen Qian, you son of a bitch, if you're a man, come out and fight us to the death. What's the matter hiding in a tortoise shell?"

"Chen, you bastard, dare to do it or not, you bastard,"

"Listen, the people of the Chen family, the governor of Qingzhou is here again, and you should hurry up and surrender. If you die for Chen Qian in vain, your family members will probably lose their lives."

"God, why are you so confused, Uncle is only one of your sons, if you die, who will take care of them and see them die?"

……

All of a sudden, all kinds of voices resounded in the sky and earth, in a mess, even if they were happy, they would be upset, not to mention the nervous people in the Chen Mansion, especially those whose family members were not in the Chen Mansion. The sluggish morale plummeted, and there was no fighting spirit. Some people suddenly cried and wanted to go out and surrender.

Seeing this, Chen Qian was angry and furious. For the sake of morale, he could only kill two deserters with a knife, temporarily calming down the mood of those people.

"Gao Xin, speak big words," the Chen family suddenly yelled, the voice was loud and clear, and it actually overwhelmed the Qingzhou army's shout, but it came from a person with martial arts skills.

With a wave of Gao Xing's hand, all the Qingzhou troops immediately stopped talking, and Xing Xing rode his horse forward a few steps, looked at Chen Qian from a distance, and said loudly: "Chen Qian, what do you have to say?"

"Gao Xin, you are also the governor of a state, why did you resort to such a despicable method? If you have the courage, just let your horse attack and see what you can do with my Chen residence," Chen Qian shouted angrily, leaning on the wall .

"As you wish, attack," the happy voice of the first sentence was still very gentle, but the tone of the latter sentence suddenly rose, resounding like a thunderbolt, which shocked many people in the Chen residence to change their expressions.

"Woo,"

"Boom, boom, boom,"

The long sound of horns and dull war drums sounded, and all the Qingzhou soldiers suddenly shouted together, and walked slowly, valiantly, high-spirited, dusty and imposing.

"Arrows,"

Seeing the approaching Qingzhou army, Chen Qian's face suddenly became ferocious. When the Qingzhou army was about to enter the range of the bow and arrow and the catapult, Chen Qian couldn't help it anymore, and suddenly waved and shouted.

"Shhhhhhh," more than 2000 arrows shot down from the top of the city, rushing towards the Qingzhou army like rain.

However, he was happy without blinking his eyes. When Chen Qian gave the order to release the arrow, he also gave the order to stop. After more than a month of training, the Qingzhou Army lacked combat effectiveness, but the queue discipline was not bad. Neatness is far beyond what Chen Qian's motley crew can match.

"Puff puff,"

The rain of arrows finally fell, but it could only reluctantly pierce the land in front of the Qingzhou Army. The arrows that occasionally shot into the Qingzhou Army's camp did not have much lethality, and could not cause much damage at all.

"The catapult, load the new type of shells," said Gao Xing with a faint smile on his face, but it made people feel at ease.

There was a "creaking" sound, and all the catapults had been set up at an angle and loaded with ammunition.

"ignition,"

Immediately, under the surprised eyes of most people including Lu Zhishen, the ammunition on the catapult was ignited.

Most of the ammunition on the catapults are brown pottery pots filled with kerosene, and the mouths of the pots are tightly sealed with wooden plugs and cotton wool, while some are bundled together in bamboo tubes about a foot long. , There is also a thicker rope soaked in kerosene at the mouth of the cylinder.

After Xing Xing gave the order to "ignite the fire", a company of soldiers who followed Xing Xing used torches to burn the cotton wool at the mouth of the clay pot and the rope on the bamboo tube.

"put,"

Under the order of joy, all the burning clay pots and bamboo tubes were ejected immediately, and shot towards Chen's house at an extremely fast speed.

Seeing Xing Xing launched the catapult, Chen Qian immediately asked the soldiers to find a cover to hide, and at the same time ordered people to prepare to put out the fire. Chen Qian knew that the fire was filled with oil, and it exploded into a ball of fire. Fortunately, Chen Qian had already asked people to prepare Fine sand is good for extinguishing fire.

"Bang, bang, bang,"

Sure enough, after the kerosene was exploded, sparks splashed, and the city was ablaze immediately, but Chen Qian was not too worried, and looked happy with a sneer on his face, but the next moment, he couldn't laugh anymore .

"boom,"

The first thing made of bamboo tube fell on the top of the city. Two servants of the Chen family were about to use fine sand to put out the fire, but they didn't expect the thing to explode suddenly. Torn apart in the light.

"What is this?" Chen Qian looked in horror at a three-foot-square, sunken ground ten meters away. In addition to the smell of blood, there seemed to be a pungent smell coming from the end of his nose.

"Boom boom boom,"

While Chen Qian and the others were sluggish, several bamboo objects fell from the sky, making a thunderous noise while tearing apart nearby people and objects.

"Run, run, run,"

The people on the top of the city suddenly panicked, crying for their fathers and mothers one by one, and fled in embarrassment. At this time, Chen Qian was also fighting with two forces, too busy to take care of himself, for fear that he would be torn to pieces, so he could not care about commanding.

This bamboo thing is naturally a simple shell. I was happy to use it once when I was in Xuyi City. However, the skill of making this thing is not yet proficient, and there is a huge risk. There are not many reserves of Happy. It is not a good thing to use it, so people including Lu Zhishen don't know about it. You must know that Gao Wei's mind is smaller than the tip of a needle.

Gao Xing fired two rounds of bamboo shells and kerosene canisters in a row, then stopped, looked at the messy city walls of the Chen Mansion, and shouted loudly: "Chen Qian, do you want to surrender or not?"

"Gao Xin, you can rush in if you have the ability, and I will fight to the death with you," Chen Qian hid in the archery building, yelling and cursing bitterly, but he didn't dare to stick his head out again.

"I don't know how to live or die, smash the gate of the Chen Mansion for me, I want to see what else Chen Qian can do," Gao Xing sneered, and then said coldly.

After a while, there was an earth-shattering explosion, and the violent vibration made the Chen Mansion tremble continuously. Three rounds of blows, about fifty bamboo shells and hundreds of kerosene canisters bombarded the tall and thick vermilion lacquer gate of the Chen Mansion. Unable to bear it any longer, it collapsed with a bang.

"Good guy, I'm really ready to die," looking at the scene behind the gate of the Chen Mansion, I'm glad I don't know whether to be angry or laughing, Chen Qian actually piled up a layer of big stones behind the gate, there is no gate, happy It takes some effort to rush in.

"Damn it, give me a blast, it's not over," Gao Xing waved his hand, and the catapult behind him immediately started to move.

Soon, the gate of the Chen Mansion was engulfed in a sea of ​​flames under the thunderous attack of the catapults. In the thunderous noise, countless broken stones and sawdust were scattered, and the originally towering Chen Mansion fell into dilapidated condition in an instant. ,
