Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 408 The Death of Shi Siming
After defeating Shi Siming's 20 anti-army, Zhang said that he didn't waste time to capture them. Instead, he led the Modao army to chase Shi Siming directly to the city of Chuzhou.At the same time, the artillery battalion stationed ten miles behind was also ordered to come to the city of Chuzhou, preparing to bombard the city wall of Chuzhou with cannons, and completely wiped out Shi Siming who had fled into the city.

The city wall of Chuzhou is high and thick, backed by Langye Mountain, and it draws water from the Longpan River.

But even cities like Youzhou and Luoyang couldn't withstand the bombardment of the Anton army's cannons, so how could the mere city walls of Chuzhou be spared.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" When the artillery battalion arrived at the city of Chuzhou, Zhang Yue immediately ordered to bombard the city walls of Chuzhou.

Solid cannonballs hit the city wall one after another, and every time they hit a large number of bricks and stones, they left a pit and some small cracks on the city wall.

in the city.

Shi Siming was in a panic. An arrow was stuck in his thigh and he couldn't pull it out. His body was stained with blood and his hair crown was messed up.This is a real scene of the hero's end.

The rebel generals and soldiers who fled into Chuzhou City with Shi Siming were panicked and full of fear.

They no longer had any confidence in the future of the rebels, nor did they have any confidence in defending Chuzhou City. They were desperate, knowing that Shi Siming was really gone this time, and it was irretrievable.

At this time, Shi Siming has no majesty at all, and his heart is full of despair.

Every time the shells hit the city wall, the loud noise made his heart tremble.

No one knows how long the city walls of Chuzhou can last. The 20 troops fought a decisive battle with the Anton army outside the city. After being defeated, less than [-] people gathered into the city of Chuzhou. Metaphor.

"Shi Siming's general situation is gone, and he will be destroyed soon. We can't die with him!" Several anti-army generals who fled into Chuzhou City with Shi Siming secretly gathered together, and the loud noise of shells hitting the city wall made them feel nervous Trembling, increasing their fear, they want to live.

"Now, even if we surrender, will the King of Peking and the imperial court spare us our lives?" An anti-army general asked fearfully.

"If Shi Siming's head can be borrowed before the city is broken, and the city gate can be opened—" Another anti-army general narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of viciousness.

The other anti-army generals were all moved, and they were full of murderous intentions for a moment. Presumably, they had reached a consensus. In order to survive, they planned to kill Shi Siming before the city was broken and open the city gate to claim credit.

Without further ado, they all dared to plan for Shi Siming's head, and the others may not have planned to open the city gate.

Therefore, they didn't dare to waste time, and they didn't greet anyone else, just a few of them rushed to where Shi Siming was.

Although Shi Siming is at the end of the road, he still has two loyal soldiers left.

Seeing several generals turning back with murderous intent on their faces, the two personal soldiers immediately stopped them and prepared to report to Shi Siming.

However, these generals reacted faster, drew their swords and instantly killed Shi Siming's last two loyal soldiers.

Without hindrance, several anti-army generals rushed in.

Although Shi Siming was full of despair and decadence, he was not a fool. When he saw these anti-army generals returning with a murderous look, and the swords in their hands were still stained with blood, Shi Siming instantly realized that these anti-army generals had rebelled. , came to kill him.

"Rebellious officials and traitors!" Shi Siming pulled out his knife in panic, and shouted angrily.

"Shi Siming, you rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, you are the traitor! Now that your doomsday has come, we are all bewitched by you. As long as we take your head, we can all live. Take your life!"

After several anti-army generals finished speaking, they stopped talking nonsense with Shi Siming, and rushed up to fight with Shi Siming.

Shi Siming was frightened and furious, he raised his saber to block left and right.

Originally, Shi Siming was very brave, and even if several anti-army generals worked together, they might not be able to take advantage of it. However, Shi Siming still had an arrow wound on his thigh, and his combat power had dropped by more than [-]%.

"Pfft! Pfft——" Shi Siming was stabbed twice in a row, and was kicked flying away, spitting blood.

Several anti-army generals came to surround and kill Shi Siming again. After Shi Siming barely blocked another stab, he was stabbed through the body by one of the anti-army generals, staring hard.

When the anti-army general pulled the knife out of Shi Siming's body, Shi Siming finally died of anger.

Immediately, several anti-army generals cut off Shi Siming's head, and ran towards the city gate with them. They wanted to open the city gate with Shi Siming's head before everyone else, and make another meritorious deed. Maybe they can not only save their lives, but also leave behind their official positions and wealth.

It's a pity that these anti-army generals only killed Shi Siming first, but failed to open the city gate again before the others.

Just as they thought at the beginning, they all dared to plan for Shi Siming's head, so how could no one else plan to open the city gate.

When several anti-army generals ran halfway with Shi Siming's head, the city gate of Chuzhou had been opened by several other anti-army generals and some soldiers, and the moat suspension bridge was also put down.

"The anti-army has changed internally, the city gate has been opened, and the whole army has entered the city. Those who put down their weapons and surrender will not die!" Zhang said, pointing forward with his sword, and ordered.

"Kill——" The soldiers of the [-] Modao Army don't need to form the Modao Formation anymore, but directly rush into the city in random order. After all, even if they don't form an army formation, the [-] Modao Army is still the elite of the elite , There is no anti-army force in the city that is strong enough to resist.

After the Modao army invaded Chuzhou City, they attacked all the way in depth, shouting to surrender and avoid death!
The gates of the city were opened, and it was reported that Shi Siming had also been killed. The anti-army soldiers in the city had no courage to resist, and they put down their weapons and surrendered.

Zhang said that the Modao army captured Chuzhou City with almost no casualties, and all the rebels in the city surrendered.

"My lord, this is the head of the rebel Shi Siming. We were all threatened and bewitched by Shi Siming, and we didn't really want to fight against the King of Peking and the imperial court. Now that we kill Shi Siming, I hope to make up for my mistakes and save my life!" The rebel general who beheaded Shi Siming dedicated Shi Siming's head to Zhang Shuo.

Looking at Shi Siming's head, Zhang said that there was not much fluctuation in his heart. He stared at the anti-army generals who beheaded Shi Siming, with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

Being threatened and bewitched by Shi Siming is just a hopeless way to survive.

Zhang said that he didn't care about these things, and he didn't waste his time trying to judge these people. Zhang said that he would report the matter to the King of Peiping and the court, just to appease him a little.

Subsequently, Zhang Shuo divided his troops and swept across Feizhou and other prefectures and counties captured by the rebels.

Since Chuzhou was broken, a large number of high-ranking anti-army generals defected and surrendered. Shi Siming, Shi Chaoyi and his son also died. The anti-army in Feizhou and other counties did not dare to resist and surrendered.
