I, the patron saint of the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, was forced to rebel

Chapter 140 Refusal to Participate
The cannons and ballista were not activated, but Gao Shilian dragged up ten 75mm caliber cannons. These are not ordinary weapons, but left behind by Qin Mu's army.

Everyone knows that the guns sold outside are at least two generations behind the ones actually used by the Lingzhou Army, and the accuracy of this gun is much higher than the ones they bought.

"Aim and get ready to shoot!"

With an order, the ten cannons were deployed and began to adjust their angles, requiring incomparable precision to directly hit the enemy's confidence.

Seeing the movement here, the forbidden army is also in a hurry.

"Fire, don't let the rebels take the initiative to attack!"

With a loud shout, those huge ballistas were the first to be fired, flying out one after another.

hum!
Even the wire rope was trembling, and those one-meter-long crossbow bolts flew out rapidly, and rushed directly into Gao Shilian's army in an instant.

Like kebabs, a single crossbow pierced through at least several lives!

Bang bang bang!
The ballista left a trail of blood, and the angle of the artillery was adjusted, and the attack started directly.

The huge shocking sound resounded through Chang'an City!

Because the distance was not far, the shells exploded instantly when they fell on the city wall, and the splashing stones took away the lives of an unknown number of soldiers.

The walls of the imperial city are not ordinary, but they are still unable to withstand the artillery attack.

The first wave of confrontation between the two sides was regarded as a failure, and then the second wave started again, which was still a long-range attack.

Ballistas and cannons were fired continuously, and countless soldiers fell to the ground without even a chance to draw their swords.

Those with guns couldn't see anyone when they fired. Several people gathered together and wanted to shoot, but were directly blown away by a shell.

Scattered corpses were scattered under the bloody sky.

Many recruits have never seen such a cruel situation, and they vomited on the spot.

"Hold on to me!"

The offensive and defensive battle, it seems so, is actually a one-sided siege battle.

Artillery sieges the city, ballista kills the army, compound bows keep hitting, and firearms roam around to kill.

There is a certain order in the chaos.

The city wall with a long history finally couldn't stop it anymore and collapsed!

Xuanwumen, blood spilled all over the ground again!
They are also brothers, competing for the throne with each other, how similar to what the former emperor Li Shimin did!

"No wonder Lingzhou City doesn't need a city wall, that's why!"

At this moment, Gao Shilian suddenly thought of something, and his heart was extremely shocked.

The change in the form of war has exceeded expectations, and the city wall is like a pile of flour in front of the artillery.

With such an attack intensity, the entire Tang country and even its surrounding areas will be affected, and the forces will begin to divide. Maybe there will be only a few countries left in the end!
In the past, the number of people, weapons, and combat supplies could still take the lead.

What now?
There are ammunition everywhere, and simple and primitive weapons can be imitated, killing or injuring several or even dozens of people at a distance of [-] meters.

The city has lost its original function and has become a defensive environment no different from a village.

There will inevitably be a new round of war among the forces, and each other will annex each other, depending on whose funds and resources are abundant!
The siege has begun!

The artillery covered the entire imperial city, the city walls collapsed, and the people fled in panic. After many days of peace, they have become accustomed to peace.

But he never thought that this battle alone would start a truly brutal war, which would be crazier than any previous battle.

Shells from all directions continued to fall into the city, as if the entire imperial city was shaking.

Shouts and wailing filled every corner of Chang'an City.

Chaos was unavoidable, countless people with evil intentions began to burn, kill and loot, and countless crimes unfolded with the beginning of the war.

In an instant, it was like stepping into purgatory on earth!

However, no one seems to care about the lives of other people.

As the emperor, Li Tai was already too frightened to sit on the dragon chair and dare not speak out.

Hundreds of officials gathered in the court, trembling.

They have different thoughts and have their own ways and ideas, but no one dares to make a statement at this time.

"Qin Mu! Qin Mu!"

Li Tai couldn't bear it anymore, he slapped the table frantically, gnashing his teeth, wishing to tear Qin Mu's corpse to pieces.

All this is because of him!
Qin Qiong was annoyed in his heart, Qin Mu is a bastard who sells arms everywhere, and he has no good intentions at all.

The outbreak of this war has truly experienced the cruelty.

At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that what they have, others also have!
He was furious in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, trying to control his calmness as much as possible.

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to get angry, you should think about how to deal with it!"

All the officials remained silent. In the past, civil officials danced more happily than anyone else, but now they have become frightened birds.

For a long time, still no one spoke.

Qin Qiong's face was gloomy, and at this moment, it seemed that snowflakes were falling outside.

Strange, how can it snow in autumn?
They all looked outside, and saw an obvious hot air balloon floating in the sky, continuously dropping countless papers.

He frowned, "Could it be that Qin Mu was involved in this rebellion?"

After all, hot air balloons only appeared in Youzhou and Lingzhou, and there were no other places at all.

This kind of thing can be seen by a military strategist in the role of war, even if Qin Mu is stupid, he can't take it away.

In fact, this is a commercial cooperation. Li Ke spent a lot of money to ask Youzhou Hot Air Balloon Manufacturing Company to help formulate a plan to "persuade surrender".

On the piece of paper, the three typings are very eye-catching.

These pieces of paper are for the people of Chang'an City, which means that Li Tai is not suitable to be an emperor, causing the people to live in dire straits, the officials have rebelled one after another, and the people have fled. Don't die because of the fearless struggle.

Qin Qiong was even more surprised, the more he looked at the thoughts in his mind, the clearer he was.

This is another new way of fighting!
Outside the city, the siege artillery fire continued, and the war has reached a fever pitch.

Countless forbidden troops rushed out to fight, but were directly killed by rows of guns. The collapse of the city wall also provided an opportunity for Li Ke's army.

The army is rushing in like crazy!
After repeated battles again and again, countless corpses lay in pools of blood.

The defense had obviously failed completely. In just half a day, the imperial city was seen falling.

After a while, the artillery attack finally slowed down, and Qin Qiong's arrangement could come in handy.

The war has entered the late stage, and the arms of both sides are obviously not enough, so they began to fight hand to hand.

Tens of thousands of troops occupied the entire city.

The ground was stained red with blood, and the moat was even more bloody red. Both sides were bloody red.

But a special situation suddenly appeared, inexplicably, the two sides stopped fighting.

The sound of artillery and guns also stopped one after another.

"what happened?"

Qin Qiong was a little puzzled, stood on the high platform, looked at the battlefield ahead, and smiled.

"Hmph! With such a weakness, I thought it was a perfect plan. It seems that there is no such thing as perfection in this world!"

The artillery in the rear is indeed out of supplies, and it is impossible to deter large-scale massacres.

At this moment, the number of hot air balloons in the sky suddenly increased, and five of them hovered over the capital.

And under the hot air balloon, a huge flag reads "Lingzhou"!
