The queen mother wants to go against the sky: General, please take your seat

Chapter 1096 Little General Zou said that the prince is dead
Zou Rongzong was able to be reused by the King of Qin, so he was naturally not an ordinary person. After a moment of panic, General Zou raised his knife and dropped it, killing his own soldiers, and said angrily: "You bastard, you dare to disturb the morale of our army, you should be punished! "

Everyone on the tower was silent for a while, and no one dared to speak more.

"Cheer up and defend the city!" Zou Rongzong looked around and ordered loudly: "It's just a small trick of the two rebels, defend the city for me!"

"What's that?" Before Zou Rongzong's voice fell, the lieutenant beside him pointed forward and shouted.

Zou Rongzong turned his head to look outside the city.

"Is that a trebuchet?" A soldier on the tower screamed.

In the distance, a trebuchet, which is shorter than the city wall of Ningzhou, is slowly approaching Ningzhou City.

"Don't panic!" Zou Rongzong said loudly: "Look down at the moat under your feet. How powerful is the Liaodong Army's stone throwing machine?"

General Zou doesn't know how far the Liaodong Army's catapult can throw the boulder, but he can only bet at the moment that the Liaodong Army's catapult cannot let the boulder cross the moat.

Outside the city, Yan Dongjin said to the eldest son Zhe who was looking at the catapults: "I made a few in a hurry. Qian Tang led his men to cut down the bamboo forest in the mountain behind the general camp, so I made these three catapults." , " Having said that, Yan Dongjin frowned, sighed, and said: "The height is not enough, and I don't know if this thing is useful."

Young Master Zhe said: "If it works, you will know if you try it."

Lei Yun arrived on horseback at this time, sat on the horse and clasped fists at Yan Dongjin and Mr. Zhe, then pointed to the Ningzhou city tower with his back hand, and said, "Master Yan, Zou Rongzong is at the tower."

Following Lei Yun's fingers, Yan Dongjin and Zhe Dagongzi saw not only black smoke, but also silhouettes in the thick smoke. Neither of them could tell which of these figures was Zou Rongzong.

"Qian Tang," Yan Dongjin called Qian Tang.

At this time Qian Tang escorted the three trebuchets to Yan Dongjin, who also pointed to the tower and said, "Lei Yun said Zou Rongzong is there."

Qian Tang also looked towards the city tower, similarly, he could only see vague figures, "Are you sure?" Qian Tang asked Lei Yun.

General Lei said: "Old Gu saw this. His thieves' eyes are so good. If we don't believe him, who else can we trust?"

Qian Tang looked at Yan Dongjin and said, "Master Yan, will you try?"

"I can only try it," Yan Dongjin said, "Is your machine working well?"

The three trebuchets were brought out by Qian Tang, but General Qian didn't dare to promise Yan Dong, after all, these three trebuchets hadn't been tried yet.

"Don't throw stones into the water." Yan Dongjin thought about it and said again: "Then how many of us will be killed by you?"

Qian Tang can't guarantee that if he doesn't throw stones into the moat.

"Put the trebuchet as far forward as possible," said Mr. Zhe at this time, "It will make you more sure."

"Withdraw the people first," Yan Dongjin decided at this moment: "The wide water surface of the moat is not good for us, but isn't it also bad for the archers in their city?"

The distance between the two sides was opened by the moat, making the archers of the Liaodong Army and the Zhejia Army useless, but for the archers guarding the city on the tower, except for the soldiers who stepped on the bamboo bridge to the moat , Who else can the arrow in your hand shoot?
Yan Dongji pointed forward at Qian Tang.

"Go!" Qian Tang ordered to his subordinates.

The soldiers and horses attacking the city retreated amidst the sound of gongs, and three trebuchets were slowly coming down the city.The people who pushed and pulled the trebuchet and carried the boulders were not soldiers, but civilian men recruited from nearby villages.

"Don't panic!" A lieutenant general shouted at the soldiers on the tower under Zou Rongzong's signal.

"General, do you want to..."

"Shut up!" Zou Rongzong asked the lieutenant who wanted to persuade him to go down the tower to avoid it. At this time, he could not leave the tower.

"Brother Zhe," Yan Dongjin said to Young Master Zhe at the foot of the city, "If the trebuchet is useful, I think we might as well attack the city seriously today."

Young Master Zhe has no objection to this.

Yan Dong turned his head and said to Zhan Yi behind him: "Go back to the camp and inform A Mingzai to bring his soldiers and horses over."

If they really wanted to attack the city, Yan Dongji's best army would undoubtedly be the battalion led by A Mingzai.

Zhan Yi replied yes, turned his horse's head and headed towards the barracks.

At this time on the tower, looking at the trebuchet that was getting closer and closer to him, Zou Rongzong shut up suddenly, and then opened his eyes. General Zou's eyes became fierce, and he kicked away the soldiers under his feet. For the corpse, Zou Rongzong thought, if the trebuchet could throw big stones onto the city tower, then the coalition forces of the Mo Zhe and the two families would definitely send strong soldiers to attack the city.

Footsteps sounded behind him again, and Zou Rongzong turned his head with a dark face. Who would dare to run around on the city tower at this time when everyone is in charge of their positions?But after seeing who it was, General Zou became surprised again, and said, "Why are you here?"

The person who came was Zou Rongzong's nephew, who should be leading troops to guard Qin Palace at this time.

"Did the prince ask you to come?" Zou Rongzong asked again.

Little General Zou didn't say anything, he dragged Zou Rongzong to a deserted place in the tower.

Zou Rongzong's heart sank to the bottom all of a sudden.

"Uncle, the lord is dead," Little General Zou stood down in the open space, and whispered directly to his clan uncle.

Amidst the billowing smoke, Zou Rongzong fell into an ice cave.

"What are we going to do?" Little General Zou asked.

After a while, Zou Rongzong found his own voice and said, "What happened?"

Little General Zou shook his head, wanted to sigh but couldn't, "That crazy monk, he assassinated the prince," Little General Zou said in a low voice.

Zou Rongzong knew about a crazy monk who drank and ate meat in the palace. Yang Daosheng also told him that this monk has excellent medical skills. If he takes care of the prince's body, the prince will be fine soon.But what did I hear now?That crazy monk assassinated his prince?
"Is it poisoning?" Zou Rongzong asked, the crazy monk entered the mansion under the name of a doctor, so poisoning is the monk's best method.

Little General Zou shook his head again, lowered his head and said: "He gave Wang Ye a knife."

There may be an antidote for poisoning, if you use the knife directly, there is no room for survival.

"Where's Yang Daosheng? No," Zou Rongzong forced himself to calm down, "What about the crazy monk?"

In King Qin's mansion in the city, King Qin's neck was cut deeply with a knife. This knife completely cut off Prince Qin's trachea, and the blood gushing out in an instant soaked the bed under King Qin, and the blood dripped on the ground. Shocking red blood.

Before the great monk Jingshi entered the bedroom, the guards searched him. The monk put the dagger into his wine gourd and drank in front of the guards. The sharp weapon that hurt people did not check the wine gourd, and let the monk into the house.

But today, there is no wine in the wine gourd of the great monk, only a poisoned dagger, and the gourd can be divided into two parts from the middle. He cut the neck of Qin Wang Li Qi with a knife.
