Chapter 192 Chang’an Township Battle (4)

"The commander asked what to do now? Should we still proceed as planned?"

Slavery asked.

Li Zhao paced back and forth, staring in that direction, and remained silent for a long time.

If, according to what Slave said, the rebels attacked separately, it would be difficult for the anti-aircraft artillery to strike accurately. Although it is very powerful, it can only explode within a certain range. It is impossible to destroy a large area with one shot.

And this is even when the rebels are not on guard. Once they know the terror of anti-aircraft artillery, they will take precautions.

For example, once you notice the arrival of artillery shells, you will lie down or evacuate quickly. It will only be an empty sound and will not achieve a good effect of destroying the enemy, so it will naturally lose its effect.

In this way, it would be impossible to repel tens of thousands of people with just a few hundred people, and they might even be captured because they ran out of shells.

This is not what he wants to see, and it must never happen.

"Master, the commander suggested that we give them a taste of the power of anti-aircraft guns and take the opportunity to scare them away."

Seeing the young master's thoughtful look, the slave whispered.

"No!" Li Zhao waved his hand quickly, "Let me think about it again."

The power of the artillery shells is very terrifying. It is very difficult to use the current situation to intimidate the rebels and make them retreat. After all, the loss of 20,000 people in the first two times cannot shake their intention to attack. How can it be done with just one artillery shell?

arrive?

Li Zhao walked slower, scratching his head from time to time.

"What else is there to think about? Since you can't do anything, just let it go and wait for the opportunity to come." Shang Xin saw Li Zhao's frowning expression and said casually.

These words were not what he thought, but were spoken by His Majesty. After hearing them many times, he naturally remembered them in his heart.

"You can't do it, just let it go?"

Li Zhao suddenly paused and stared at Shang Xin intently, as if trying to dig out something from his words.

The next moment, I had some calculations in my mind.

Yes! Since it can't be done, why not let it go? His original purpose was to protect Chang'an Township, and the east side did not pass directly through Chang'an Township, but passed by, thus bypassing the south and reaching Xianyang.

In other words, if the target of the rebel army is not Chang'an Township, then there is no problem in letting them pass, as long as they do not target Chang'an Township.

As for Xianyang, it has a high city wall. If they want to take it, they must attack the city, and the siege city will gather together. At that time, it is the best time for anti-aircraft guns to attack.

After thinking about this, Li Zhao felt much relieved and immediately ordered: "Tell Wu Quan immediately to retreat to the border of Chang'an Township. If the rebels want to enter our territory, fire artillery. If not, let them go."

!”

"yes!"

After receiving the order, the slave left immediately.

"Then what should we do next? Do we want to go back to the palace immediately?" Shang Xin did not forget his mission. He asked this because he wanted Li Zhao to follow him into the palace quickly.

Moreover, the bandits have not yet entered the manor, so it is too late to leave.

Li Zhao waved his hand, "Don't worry, we will wait until they pass Chang'an Township."

"No, after they passed Chang'an Township, they were about to approach the city. With an army of thirty thousand, we quickly entered the city through the city gate."

Shang Xin did not agree with Li Zhao's approach.

Li Zhao gave him a comforting smile and said, "It's okay. Since I dare to stay in Chang'an Township, I naturally have a way to enter the city without going through the city gate."

In fact, when he left Xianyang City, Zhang Han told him about the crooked route into Xianyang. Few people knew about this route. In fact, he ordered Ah Chao to transport some weapons into the city and secretly entered Xianyang through this route.

"Oh!" Shang Xin's eyes lit up. He had served His Majesty for more than ten years and had never heard of any crooked ways in Xianyang City. However, at this critical moment, Li Zhao couldn't possibly lie to him, so he chose to believe it.

"Very good!"

To the east of Chang'an Township, there are alternating plains and dense forests. Because there are few people walking there, the road is very rugged.

Wu Quan followed Li Zhao's instructions and did not fight back. He just let the rebel army pass. Even so, the rebel army walked for a full hour before passing.

When he appeared on the avenue, Cao Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

The road leads all the way to Xianyang. Due to the renovations made by Chang'an Township during this period, the road is very smooth and wide, and there are no traces of being dug out.

In other words, they are safe and no longer have to worry about whether there will be an explosion underground or terrifying liquid falling from the trees.

Passing through Chang'an Township means that the task of transportation transportation is about to be completed.

At this moment, all 30,000 families are gathered here. Instead of the ten-person team just now, they are all gathered together in formations separated by several feet.

"General, we are only ten miles away from Xianyang. Let's set off quickly and complete Duke Xiang's instructions as soon as possible."

The smooth passage was all thanks to the military advisor's ingenious plan. The military advisor also spoke with much air and urged Cao Yang.

But Cao Yang didn't react and looked back fiercely at Chang'an Township not far away.

There is an old courtyard that has been renovated. There are no people in the courtyard, but it is quite lively and well-organized.

"I heard that Chang'an Township is extremely rich, but it is in such a situation. This Li Zhao is hiding very deep!"

"Hmph! Since I am allowed to appear here, no matter how deep he hides, it will be in vain. If I kill twenty thousand people, I will let him taste what it means to be destroyed."

Cao Yang said harshly.

The military advisor looked at this and shook his head. After an hour of carefulness, Cao Yang still couldn't change Cao Yang's intention to destroy Chang'an Township, so he said nothing more.

Of course, he also had his own little thoughts. Chang'an Township was so rich that it was appropriate to take the opportunity to plunder something. After all, they were thieves.

Whatever a thief does is natural.

What's more, looking at the layout of the manor, it is obvious that there is no defense. If you don't rob it, you will be ashamed of the 30,000-strong army.

"Brothers, I can't bear the thought of Chang'an Township destroying 20,000 of us, and you probably can't bear it either. Why not rob it and burn it with fire?"

"well!"

This remark aroused great response from everyone, and the response was loud.

However, some people are still worried, "What if there is something explosive hidden inside?"

When everyone heard this, their faces changed. They were too excited just now and didn't think about this.

Cao Yang waved his hand indifferently, "No, their terrorist weapons have been used up, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get here so smoothly, and you see."

He pointed at the deserted manor, "There is no one there, and there is no defense. They must have all run away."

"In this case, we will destroy it."

"Yeah, ruined it."

Cao Yang was very satisfied with what he heard and waved his hand, "Listen to my order and destroy Chang'an Township."

Immediately, 30,000 people swarmed into the manor like a flood that broke a dike. The pace was quite chaotic and there was no behavior that a soldier should have.

From a distance, Li Zhao watched this scene and was very angry. He originally thought that the rebel army would immediately set foot on the road to Xianyang. In order not to arouse the resentment of the rebel army, he deliberately asked everyone to hide together. Little did he know that these people were thieves.

It is difficult to change, and Chang'an Township will still be destroyed.

He overestimated the greed of these people.

He did not transfer any family property in the manor, and the family property was not touched at all. If he was really trampled by these people, Chang'an Township would have to start over again. This must not happen.

Otherwise, leaving Xianyang without authorization will be in vain.

At this moment, the bandits were surging everywhere like wild horses.

"This is where paper is made! Look at the thousands of papers he has. He is really rich. If we could move them all away, how much would they cost?"

"Brothers, move right away."

"And these seedlings are growing really well. Since I can't have them, I'll destroy them."

Cao Yang held a stack of paper in his hand. When he saw the seedlings in front of him, he immediately ordered, "Go down and destroy a thousand people."

Suddenly, thousands of people rushed into the field, stretched out their hands and pulled it up, and they pulled it vigorously, as if they were letting out all the depression they had suffered before.

"General, I found so much gold in the manor that I can't even count it. Now we are rich."

Suddenly, someone ran out of the manor and shouted happily.

"Gold?" Cao Yang's eyes shone, he threw away the paper in his hand, and rushed out, heading straight inside.

Why did he rebel? Wasn't it just for gold?

But at this moment, several muffled sounds were suddenly heard. The sounds were not loud and should have come from not far away.

Someone called out, "General, look what that is. It's black, flying, and there's thick smoke behind it."

Exactly, this object flew up from not far away, circled in the air, and then came towards them.

"They're coming towards us."

Everyone was curious after hearing this, and quickly looked up. Sure enough, there were several black dots coming this way, and more black spots were rising on the other side, heading in this direction.

"What is this? Could it be the stones they threw at us?"

Some people speculate.

At this time, someone shouted, it was the military advisor.

"No, this is a stone. They must also have a trebuchet hidden. Quick, hide aside and don't get hit."

The front of the Chang'an Township manor is vast and can accommodate tens of thousands of people. It is easy for them to get out of the way and avoid the position where the rocks are falling.

But, they were wrong, this was not a stone, but a cannonball, something they had never seen before and something they did not expect.

The first few shells roared to the ground without hitting anyone, and they hit the ground hard.

Someone saw it clearly and made a sound of surprise.

"This is not a stone, but iron. Chang'an Township is so rich that they use iron as a stone. What a waste!"

You must know that iron nowadays is relatively expensive and rare. Apart from being used for agricultural tools, it is also used as weapons. It is never thrown as a stone.

However, they overlooked one point. The stone hit the ground and it was just a smash. However, the iron tool did not stop after it hit the ground. It was still smoking, as if terror was brewing. Then, people in the distance only felt a roar in their ears.

It's a bright light.

Long!

A loud bang came from the iron tool, and the people around him couldn't even scream. They flew out and fell to the ground, whimpering on the spot.

More than a dozen people around him fell to the ground, some with severed hands, some with bloody flesh, and some... For a moment, no one dared to look at them anymore.

Extremely miserable.

Suddenly, everyone who saw it was filled with fright, and a deep sense of fear spread throughout the limbs, so that they forgot to react.

Immediately afterwards, other iron tools falling from the air also fell and exploded in an instant, leaving flesh and blood flying everywhere they touched.

Seeing hundreds of people fall to the ground, they could no longer suppress their fear and fled to the distance. But no matter what, more and more iron weapons came from the sky, so many that they were like big birds flying in the dense forest.

, chirping and rushing over.

"What exactly is this thing and where does it come from."

People kept falling to the ground and people died. Cao Yang was awakened by the gold and screamed, but no one could tell him where these things came from. It was as if they appeared out of thin air, but such terrifying things could not appear out of thin air.

Looking in the direction in which the iron tool flew, when his eyes reached the bottom, he suddenly saw about two hundred people standing there. His expressions could not be seen clearly, but there was an object in front of him, and something was being placed inside.

, it seemed to be very heavy, and then something flew out of it and came into the sky.

"It's them, from Chang'an Township."

Seeing more and more terrible horrors happening in front of him, like thunder roaring and more people falling to the ground, he was afraid.

"What on earth is this?"

His expression became more and more terrifying.

As soon as this object is put in, it will fly into the air, and eventually it will explode when it hits the ground, knocking down dozens of people in an instant.

"A big killer, definitely a big killer."

No one listened to Cao Yang's nonsense. There were explosions one after another, but no enemy could be found. The rebels went crazy and fled the scene one after another, but they couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north.

Someone finally discovered the horror of this iron weapon and shouted: "No, this is a more terrifying killing weapon. Everyone, run quickly and escape from this place."

Suddenly, the entire scene fell into chaos. Rumblings continued. People were being killed and limbs were broken. They were scattered throughout the manor, and some were trampled to death in the chaos.

From a distance, this place is like a meat grinder, the cannonballs are the meat grinder, and the messy crowd is the pieces of meat. The meat is pressed against the meat, rolling and rolling, and blood is splashed.

No one is afraid.

Finally, someone figured out the direction, pointed to the road outside the manor, and shouted: "Run this way, stay away from this place."

Someone pointed out the direction, and more people followed.

However, no matter how they ran, iron objects would fall next to them, and then explode, with a whooshing sound on the spot.

"Quick, everyone separate and fight over there."

Cao Yang couldn't bear to see this scene again, so he drew his sword and shouted to the sky, "They are responsible for this horrible thing. Kill them to stop the iron attack."

"Come on!"

Cao Yang was the first to rush over.

When everyone heard the words, they also rushed over.

Not far away, Li Zhao looked here coldly, but Shang Xin stood beside him with his mouth wide open in shock.

He saw incredible weapons again.

This device can fly into the air without any human power, and it can explode when it falls on the ground. It is much better than a trebuchet.

When a trebuchet throws stones, it requires several people to help launch it. The power required is endless. When the manpower is insufficient, it can no longer launch. But this device is different. It does not require much manpower. Just pick up the iron tool and put it inside, and the iron tool will automatically

flew out.

What's even more terrifying is...

When the stones from the trebuchet hit the enemy, if you avoid it, it will not be effective, but this thing is completely different. Even if it cannot hit the crowd, it will explode.

He clearly saw that when it exploded, countless fragments seemed to be splashed out, and the rebel army fell to the ground.

The victory of the trebuchet is unknown.

"Li, General Li." He was so excited that his voice trembled, "What is the name of this thing? Can it be mass-produced?"

He is a person who cares about the country. When he sees this thing, he thinks of the army of the country. If the army has a large number of these things, there is no need to fear an army of 150,000 thieves.

Li Zhao smiled and didn't mean to say anything more. His eyes were still cold and he only squeezed out three words: "anti-aircraft guns, use them to destroy the regiment."
Chapter completed!
