Mohist Tang

“Back to the king, Tang Army still has no movement!” Inside the Gaochang Palace, a general reported.

In an instant, there was a layer of pressure in the entire palace. The Tang Army’s constant offensive originally put the pressure on Gaochang’s numerous officials.

But now they found that the most suffering was not when the Tang Army acted, but that Tang Army did not move, and that was the suffering for Gaochang City.

“Could it be that Western Turkic reinforcements are coming?” Qu Zhisheng hoped.

A Gaochang defender shook the head and said: “No, Tang Army did not move a soldier or a horse under the city, it was just a siege.

“Could it be that Tang Army wanted If Gaochang City was trapped to death, then Tang Army was wrong! “Qu Zhisheng said with a sneer.

Gaochang numerous officials were silent and couldnt bear to interrupt Qu Zhisheng. If the Tang Army wanted to besiege Gaochang City, Im afraid it would have set fire to Gaochang City long ago, but now Even the hot air balloon has already descended. Obviously, there must be an afterthought.

When Qu Zhisheng saw the reaction of numerous officials, his excitement suddenly cooled.

“Back Great Tang, Tang Army issued an ultimatum? “Suddenly the Gaochang envoy came in a hurry again.

“Ultimatum? “Numerous officials couldn’t help but froze.

The Gaochang envoy said with difficulty: “Tang Army said that if Gaochang does not surrender at noon three days later, he will storm Gaochang City. Don’t blame Great Tang for being ruthless when the city is broken. “

“Three days later at noon! “Everyone couldn’t help but feel shocked. In the past, Tang Army sent only a letter of surrender, but this time Tang Army sent an ultimatum. Obviously Tang Army’s patience has been exhausted.

Everyones eyes were on Qu Zhishengs body, and Gao Changs future was within his thoughts.

“If the Tang Army attacked the city, I could hold on to Gao Chang for a few days. “Qu Zhisheng looked at the Gaochang generals and said.

“As long as Gaochang City is there, I Gaochang is not afraid of any enemies. “Gu Zhisheng Gao Chang believes himself.

Qu Zhisheng suddenly relaxed, but Gao Chang changed his words: “However, the Tang Army has newly added Gunpowder weapons, formidable power is invincible, and Tiandicheng is destroyed. Under this weapon, he had never seen such a weapon before, and he had no confidence in his heart. “

Gaochang numerous officials have nodded. Even if the Great Tang army arrived before, they still have the confidence to defend Gaochang City. However, Great Tang’s Gunpowder really made them helpless.

” , Gaochang City cannot be kept? “Qu Zhisheng coldly said.

General Gao Chang looked at Qu Zhisheng’s gloomy eyes and couldn’t help but said cleverly: “The minister will do his best. Unless he is killed in battle, he will definitely not let Tang Army step on it. Enter Gaochang City. “

Qu Zhisheng’s eyes were a little slow, he looked around at numerous officials, and said firmly: “Instruct the city to hurry up and control the city’s defense weapons, and never give up until the last moment. Maybe, Turkic Khan’s The army will arrive at the next moment. “

“Yes! “Numerous officials replied, leaving to defend the Tang Army.

Until all the numerous officials left, Qu Zhisheng suddenly collapsed on the throne. Once Gaochang falls, the numerous officials may be fine, but His end was the most miserable. Even if he surrendered, his best treatment would be like Tuyuhun’s Fushun, becoming a Great Tang puppet, and more likely to lose the throne, being taken to Chang’an City, and becoming Great like Jieli. The spoils of Tangs show off ones military strength.

No matter which one is Qu Zhisheng, who has just tasted the danger of power, is unwilling. Of course, this is only the treatment after he voluntarily surrenders. When the Army breaks through the city, he is likely to be killed by the heavy casualties of Tang Army.

However, the invisible magic of the throne has kept Qu Zhisheng reluctant to give up, even if there is a glimmer of hope, he is still unwilling Abandoning the throne under him, in his heart, he has been waiting for the reinforcements from West Turkic. He always believes that Yukuk Shad, who has this bitter hatred with Great Tang, is absolutely impossible to sit and watch Great Tang annex Gaochang.

With the passing of a little bit of anxious time, three days have passed slowly. Soon, the time for Tang Army to issue an ultimatum is coming.

All Gaochang defenders are waiting, city wall The Tang Army underneath is in an attacking formation. The hot air balloon that has landed for three days rises again. Everyone knows that as long as the hour is up, it is the time for the Tang Army to attack.

“Lord! “Suddenly the general defending the city saw Qu Zhisheng lead numerous officials to the gate tower in person.

Qu Zhisheng ignored the defender, but went straight to the gate tower and saw the Tang Army of the golden horse and iron horse. I can’t help but sink.

“The reinforcements of West Turkic haven’t arrived yet? “Qu Zhisheng frowned and asked.

Guardian Gaochang bowed his head and said: “Reporting to the king, I was besieged by the Tang Army, and there is no outside intelligence at all. However, according to this small official observation, the people of the Tang Army Did not mobilize, obviously did not encounter foreign enemies. “

“Then Ashina Helu, he took so much wealth from Gaochang, and he would only stay in Qaghanfutu City. “Qu Zhisheng angrily roared.

Gaochang defender helplessly said: “General He Lu has only 20,000 horses, and I am afraid he dare not attack hundreds thousand Tang Army at all. “

Qu Zhisheng couldn’t help but feel a sense of powerlessness. Up to now, he can only rely on Gaochang City’s own strength. However, Gaochang City at this moment is already weak to the extreme.

“Time is approaching When it arrives, the king still makes a decision early, otherwise once the Tang Army starts to attack the city, everything is a foregone conclusion. “Envoy Gaochang persuaded.

Qu Zhisheng could not help but struggle for a while. Everyone knew that Qu Zhisheng had shaken.

Under Gaochang City, Hou Junji looked at the majestic Gaochang City. frowned, with his years of siege experience, even if the Tang Army captures Gaochang City, there will be heavy casualties. Fortunately, Firearms Squad is there this time.

Hou Junji personally led the generals to the tunnel entrance and saw that it was already Where is Mo Dun asked: “Chancellor Mo, how is Firearms Squad prepared? “

Mo Dun arched his hands: “If you return to the General Army, the tunnel has been dug, and now there is only the last step left to place the Gunpowder.

Hou Junji coldly said: “Then what are you waiting for, let’s start.”

Mo Dun waved his hand, only to see Firearms Squad soldiers carrying long ones like The coffin-like box enters the tunnel.

“Coffin!” The generals couldn’t help but their faces turned dark. They were fighting a war, not a method.

Mo Dun explained: “Although the climate in Gaochang is dry, the walls of Gaochang City are still wet. In order to ensure that the Gunpowder is dry, the Gunpowder will be placed in the coffin to ensure that the Gunpowder is dry. , The enclosed space can double the formidable power of Gunpowder.”

Niu Jinda said with a smile after listening: “The funeral of Gaochang City with a coffin is quite appropriate.”

>

Under everyone’s eyes, Firearms Squad placed dozens of coffins under Gaochang City, arranged the leads to a safe place, and then sealed the tunnel.

“As long as the general orders, just light the fuse here, Gaochang City wall can be knocked down.” Mo Dun said proudly holding the torch.

This move Mo Dun is a siege war that imitates the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom of later generations. In the past, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom went all the way north and repeatedly breached the city. Loading the Gunpowder with coffins can be said to have made great achievements. Wherever he went, the city did not Not broken, of course, in the end, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was also defeated by this move. The Hunan Army also used Gunpowder to break through the Tianjing City, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was destroyed.

“It’s that simple?” Hou Junji astonished said.

“The general will know if he tries it.” Mo Dun self-messaged.

At this moment, the sun has risen to the sky, noon has come, and the deadline of Tang Army has come.

“Fire!” Hou Junji ordered coldly.

“Follow the order!” Mo Dun said loudly, raising the torch to light the fuse.

“Wait! Gao Chang has already surrendered. There is no need to bomb the city.” Suddenly Xin Liao’er’s joyous voice came from the front.

Everyone suddenly raised their heads and found that the white flag of surrender had been hung over Gaochang City. They couldn’t help but sighed in relief. Sure enough, Qu Zhisheng couldn’t bear the pressure of breaking the city and decided to surrender.

Everyone looked towards Mohist Family Son with regret. Since Gao Chang surrendered, then naturally they could not see Mohist Family Son using Gunpowder to blow up the formidable power of the city wall.

However, what made everyone stunned was that Mohist Family Son didn’t seem to hear Xin Liao’er’s voice, directly igniting the fuse.

“Chancellor Mo, what does this mean? Gaochang City has surrendered, why do you want to ignite the Gunpowder?” Xin Liao’er angrily rebuked. If Gaochang City surrendered, everyone would have credit for this battle. , And the biggest contributor to him before, but if Firearms Squad directly breaks the city wall, then the credit for this battle, I am afraid that Mohist Family Son belongs.

Mo Dun lightly saying: “The Hou General Army has ordered the fire. A certain Mohist will naturally obey the General Armys order. Then our army will besiege Gaochang City and Gaochang City will surrender. The Western Regions will definitely think My Gaochang is just being forced. Now our army Gunpowder has broken through the Gaochang City wall and personally showed time the power of Great Tangs siege. May I ask anyone who dares to provoke my Great Tangs power in the future.”

Xin Liao’er furiously said: “You said lightness, not selfishness, for you and Firearms Squad to grab the credit that’s all!”

Xin Liao’er tone barely fell, suddenly felt the foot There was a trembling, and a loud noise came from the ground. Everyone looked in amazement. The Gaochang City wall as high as five feet was cut off like a piece of paper, and the city wall ten zhang was blown down.

“The power of Gunpowder is so terrifying!” All Tang generals looked at the Gaochang City wall in amazement. Once they overestimated the Firearms Squad, they finally found that they underestimated the formidable power of Firearms Squad.

Since then, the city wall has been the strongest shield for thousands of years, and now I finally encountered the sharpest spear-Gunpowder.

Mo Dun patted Xin Liao’er, sighed and said: “A certain Mohist does have selfishness, but A certain Mohist’s selfishness is to personally test the formidable of Gunpowder in actual combat. How big is the power, and Gaochang City, which has been deployed, is the best opportunity. Otherwise, Great Tang has the most powerful weapon but has not used it. In the end, it’s just a matter of fact that’s all.”

Hou Junji looked at Mo Dun deeply and said: “Chancellor Mo is right. Great Tang has such a formidable power and the unparalleled weapon must be displayed. From now on, who else in the world dares to provoke Great Tang, otherwise Gaochang City is him. Lesson from the past.”

“Come on! Siege!” Hou Junji suddenly shouted loudly.

In an instant the snare drum shook, and a large number of Tang Army suddenly moved towards the collapsed Gaochang City wall and rushed away. The Gaochang defenders who had blown out had no resistance at all.

Only on the Gaochang City wall, Qu Zhisheng, who frightened his soul, cried and said with a smile: “The king surrendered, and the king surrendered.”

However, Gaochang City was in chaos. No one cared about the former King Gaochang. As the Tang Army attacked the city, the Gaochang defenders surrendered one after another without any resistance.

So far! Gaochang City fell.
