Dominate Marvel

Cannonballs are not arrows, and there is basically no accuracy in hitting people. Zhao Yu knew that the cannonball could not hit him, but he still wanted to attack him. The purpose was very obvious and shocking.

Of course, if the shell is allowed to fall and ignored, the number of soldiers behind him may be reduced.

This blow is shocking to everyone.

Zhao Yu is not afraid of firearms, and not many people have seen him. The feat of catching artillery shells outside the Lianshan Pass was only seen by a team of Li Fuming's servants. After being crushed all the way, the Tatar army never had time to organize a decent resistance, so it never showed such power. Therefore, even if there are some rumors, soldiers in various military towns in Liaodong also believe that Zhao Yu is the God of War, but not many believe that he is so powerful.

Can a flesh and blood body withstand artillery fire? !

But now, a shocking feat is right in front of us!

Above and below the city, there were nearly 100,000 troops from both sides. Countless pairs of eyes stared blankly at the battlements and cannons at the top of the city that were shattered by the reflected shells. Listening to the continuous screams, there was silence.

It’s as if time has stood still!

For a long time, these eyes all looked at the knight standing in front of the formation, either with enthusiasm or admiration, or with horror and horror!

Under the morning sun, the tall figure on the horse was exuding circles of blush, as if it were a god descending to earth, full of fierce power!

On the top of the city, Zhang Xianzhong's foster son Wen Wu was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, someone screamed: "Father!"

Only then did they all react and hurriedly ran down the tower.

Zhang Xianzhong failed to beat Zhao Yu, so he was beaten instead. Fortunately for him, he was lucky. After the shot was fired, he was shaken and was not hit directly by the counterattack.

But the cannon barrels, gun mounts, and battlements were shattered and scattered with debris, beating Zhang Xianzhong until he was covered in blood!

At this time, he was unconscious.

As soon as the time came, the city was in chaos!

Under the city, at this moment, soldiers came to report that all arrangements were in place.

Zhao Yu was overjoyed. He saw the situation in the city and knew that a fighter was right in front of him. He shouted loudly and galloped towards the city gate!

It was not that no one saw Zhang Xianzhong on the city wall, but Zhang Xianzhong was seriously injured and fell into a coma, like a poisonous snake without its head, a mess of sand and unable to react in time. Only a few arrows flew sparsely, but before they hit the ground, Zhao Yu reached the city gate.

puff!

The huge iron cone hit the city gate hard, but it was like an iron rod piercing into the fine sand!

This is a manifestation of the concentration of strength to the extreme!

When Zhao Yu defeated Shouzhou and Huoqiu before, he never used skillful energy, but used brute force to defeat the city, making a lot of noise. Of course, such movement has more advantages than disadvantages on the battlefield. On the battlefield, the louder the movement, the more likely it is to frighten the enemy.

However, such huge movements had a considerable impact on Zhao Yu. When the city gate was broken, the force rebounded and set off a violent wave of air. Within a few feet, even the cavalry on horseback could not bear it.

It wouldn't be a big deal if the power could be released in all directions on an open battlefield. On the contrary, it increased the lethality. But when the city gate was broken open, the city gate was thick and powerful, and most of the aftermath had to be borne by Zhao Yu alone. Zhao Yu himself was fine, but the war horse under his crotch was not.

The previous interception of artillery shells and counterattacks were enough to intimidate them. There is no need to break the city gate and stir up any noise from the west.

So he used his skillful energy to focus his strength on one point, and once it was coned down, the huge eight-sided pyramid head sank into the city gate, and then shook and twisted, the tall city gate was immediately shattered, turned into fragments, and fell down. land.

"kill!"

Behind Zhao Yu, the various armies saw that the city gate was broken and immediately separated the front army. When the soldiers roared and killed loudly, the cavalry took the lead, the infantry followed, and the archers fired out rains of arrows, covering the city wall as a cover!

"The city is broken!"

The army of thieves was suddenly in an uproar, like the headless flies, panicked and at a loss what to do.

The moment the city gate was breached, the fate of Zhang Xianzhong, a tributary thief, was doomed. Zhao Yu was the sharp edge, and even if Li Dingguo and others quickly organized an army to stop him, there was nothing they could do.

In this world, no one can stop Zhao Yu's sudden advance.

This was a good killing, from the time Zhao Yu broke through the city gate and entered, it was not until noon that the dust settled.

Because Zhang Xianzhong was in a coma, Zhao Yu saw the opportunity to break open the city gate, causing the Xianthief army to collapse immediately. The Xian thief was defeated by Zuo Liangyu and went to Henan to join Li Chuang. He had only a few thousand old thieves under his command. Now, tens of thousands of people have been kidnapped, but they are all new thieves. The combat effectiveness of the new thieves who have just been transformed from poor farmers can be imagined.

If the battle goes smoothly, they may still be able to contribute some combat power together.

But Zhao Yuxian counterattacked the shell with his flesh and blood, causing Zhang Xianzhong to fall into coma and lose the head of the thief. Another blow broke through the city gate and charged into the city brazenly.

How can the new thieves at the bottom not be afraid of such appalling abilities?

How not to collapse? !

Seeing that the situation was over, Li Dingguo and others wanted to protect Zhang Xianzhong and escape. But where can I escape? He only fled to the city, and was caught up by Zhao Yu. He jumped down and saw the king of hell gone.

The thieves fled in all directions, but Zhao Yu had made a thorough arrangement early and surrounded the city with water. The city gates on all sides are surrounded by large armies. In addition, the high-ranking officials of the bandits have suffered heavy casualties. The snake is headless and scattered. Even if it escapes from the four gates, it will be unable to break through.

Finally, piles of corpses were left outside the four gates, and the rest were surrendered.

After explaining the matters of guarding the prisoners one by one, Zhao Yu came to Yang He and said: "Quickly inform the prince about the beginning and end of the war here. Please tell the prince, it's time to close your pockets!"

Yang He did not dare to neglect and quickly found someone to interrogate him.

This Bozhou was also home to the stronghold of Zhao Gongming Trading Company. But when Zhang Xianzhong's army attacked, he saw the opportunity early and evacuated the city.

When Zhao Yu led the army to attack, people from the trading company were already waiting halfway.

They are just in use at this time.

Not to mention the summons. Zhao Yu captured Bozhou, captured Zhang Xianzhong and all the main bandits, and then stationed the army for three days for repairs. During these three days, rewards will be given based on merit, promotions should be made based on military merit, and the last time should be mentioned based on the capture.

Three days later, Zhao Yu gathered all his troops and headed north to Kaifeng Mansion!

...

Prince Zhu Cihao received the battle report from Zhao Yu and was overjoyed when he heard that the Gezuo and Xian thieves were all wiped out and all the thieves were caught from top to bottom.

So while sorting out the battle reports and reporting them to the emperor, he ordered all the armies to encircle Kaifeng.

The intruders have been besieging Kaifeng for nearly a month. Fortunately, the guards in Kaifeng City tried their best to resist. After one month, the intruders have not gained much benefit.

However, Zhu Cihao could tell from the weakening attack of the intruder army and other clues that the intruders had plans to retreat.

Zhao Yu's battle report came at the right time.

If it were delayed for another three to five days, if the intruders reacted and fled directly, the previous tactical arrangement would probably come to nothing.

"The food and salary that the imperial court was supposed to deliver have been missing for half a month."

The prince sat at the top, with a subtle expression on his face, and tapped the table with his fingers.

In the hall, only Wang Yisheng and Li Geng were present.

"It's what the moths did." Wang Yisheng said with a smile: "Why should the prince care? Just wait until after the war, the prince returns to the capital with the power of victory over the thieves, and kills the moths in one fell swoop."

The prince nodded and shook his head: "The people in the cabinet are all old foxes, and they are not easy to deal with. Besides, this battle has not been finalized yet. If there is any change, it will be a big trouble."

As he said that, the prince looked at Wang Yisheng: "Especially Ding Qirui's unit in Huguang has the biggest flaws."

Wang Yisheng stood up and clasped his fists, laughing and saying, "I'll just leave for a while."

The prince said happily: "Little Wang means the same thing. I don't expect Ding Qirui's troops to have much effect. I just hope that there will be no problems with the pocket array."

Wang Yisheng bowed: "Prince, don't worry, the general will not disappoint His Highness in the end!"

The prince nodded: "Xiao Wang looks forward to good news from General Wang."

So Wang Yisheng withdrew from the hall and took five thousand elite troops with him, just as the person who was delivering the order took a detour in the direction of Huguang.

Seeing Wang Yisheng leaving, the prince showed a worried look on his face.

Li Geng couldn't help but said: "With General Wang coming forward and Ding Qirui's troops in Huguang, there will be no trouble. The prince does not need to worry."

The prince shook his head: "What Xiao Wang is worried about is not Ding Qirui. Ding Qirui is just a mediocre person, and it will be easy for General Wang to suppress him. What I am worried about is the change in the court."

When Li Geng heard this, he couldn't help but frown: "Is there any urgent news coming from Yuqing?"

The prince nodded: "The Yuqing Military Advisor sent news that the imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate had recently impeached the young king, saying that the young king had the intention of treason."

"hiss!"

Li Geng couldn't help but take a breath: "How vicious!"

Then he said: "Your Highness is leading the troops outside and supervising hundreds of thousands of troops. If the emperor listens to the slander, I am afraid..."

The prince shook his head: "I'm not worried that my father will listen to the slander."

After a pause, the prince's eyes blazed: "Because when I asked my father for the thief-suppressing supervisor, I had a frank and detailed talk with him all night. I know my father's thoughts, and my father also knows my thoughts. I'm worried. Unfortunately, because the government was controlled by such worms, my father was cut off from sight and hearing!"

Sighed: "I'm even more afraid of the worms in the court falsely spreading the imperial edict!"

The prince stood up and walked around with his hands behind his hands, his eyes a little misty: "Yue Wumu's twelve gold medals are still vivid in my mind."

Li Geng fell silent immediately, his brows furrowed into a small mountain.

...

Just as Zhu Cihao guessed, when the good news arrived in Beijing and the emperor was enjoying himself, under the calm lake surface, there was an undercurrent.

But what Zhu Cihao never expected was that the bugs in the court were more ruthless than he imagined!

In the middle of October, the emperor suddenly fell ill, unable to speak or move!

The palace was in chaos.

So the cabinet took over the government completely on the grounds that the emperor was unable to govern.

Three days later, the emperor became seriously ill and died.

The cabinet minister then discussed the prince's enthronement at the court meeting on the grounds that the emperor was about to pass away and the country could not be without a master for a day.

Just one day, the Ministry of Cabinet issued an edict to rush 800 miles to Henan to order the prince's troops to return to the court.

But it only took one day, and the 800-mile express delivery had not yet been delivered. In the name of the prince's unfilial piety, the cabinet issued an order to seize the prince's title and demote him to a commoner. They proposed to appoint the second prince Zhu Cixiang as the heir apparent, and to choose a day to worship heaven and ascend the throne!

Subsequently, several imperial edicts were issued, ordering Sun Chuanting, Ding Qirui, Zhao Yu, and the general soldiers of various ministries originally under Zhu Cihao's command to stay put and wait for the court's dispatch.

...

The prince was holding a letter, his whole body was shaking more and more violently, his eyes were red, and he suddenly shouted: "Father!"

He actually fainted!

Li Geng was shocked and turned pale. He quickly hugged the prince and called the doctors for diagnosis and treatment. Then he picked up the books and silk on the ground. When he took a closer look, his face became extremely heavy.

"What a vicious thief!"

"Lawless!"

This frail middle-aged man almost broke all his teeth, and then punched the table so hard that blood dripped from his fist!

At this time, the prince had not yet received the imperial edict from the court. This letter was sent urgently from Li Yuqing.

Among them, he recounted all the incidents that happened in the capital and prayed to the prince.

After Li Geng read the letter, he vented his anger and quickly calmed down.

The thieves in the cabinet risked the disapproval of the world to assassinate the emperor, seize the government, and privately own the country's leader. Such behavior is simply vicious and evil to the extreme.

But Li Geng knew that this was not the time to be angry.

The pocket formation is about to be completed, and the intruders are about to be destroyed. If you miss the opportunity, all the previous efforts will be in vain!

There must be no chaos!

He took a deep breath, thoughts swirling in his mind, and suddenly shouted: "Come on!"

The prince himself came in hurriedly.

The prince fainted, and all his followers were quite surprised. But seeing Li Geng's calm expression, he couldn't help but become much calmer.

Li Geng said: "Immediately send people to find General Zhao Yu, General Wang Yisheng and Minister Sun Chuanting, and tell them that they must suppress all troops and horses and act according to the original plan."

After a pause, Li Geng shouted out again: "If you come, I will serve you with pen and ink!"

Someone brought pen and ink, and Li Geng wrote three letters in a very simple way, sealed them with fire paint, and handed them to this person: "This matter is urgent. We must deliver the letters to them!"

"yes!"

"Remember!" Li Geng stopped him and told him, "Be quick and be secretive!"

After the messenger left, Li Geng immediately sent an order to secretly recruit the officers the prince had trained over the years. He said without any hesitation: "There was a change in the court, and the prince was provoked and fainted. But as subordinates of the prince, we have to be prosperous, and we must follow the rules. The prince’s original plan went ahead.”

These officers have been recruited and trained by the prince over the years, and all of them are capable. At least compared to today's local generals, they are much stronger in every aspect.

Originally, the prince planned to gradually replace them and let them take control of the military. The reason for this was clearly understood by Li Geng, the person closest to the prince.

But by now it was too late.

Li Geng detailed the changes in the court, and then said: "The false edict from the cabinet will arrive in two days at most. In order to prevent the failure of this suppression of thieves, we must seize military power in advance."

"Everyone, go back now and make preparations secretly. In the name of the prince, I will hold a banquet to summon the local generals. You must seize the opportunity and seize the military power of the local troops on the north bank of the Yellow River."

A stern look flashed in Li Geng's eyes: "Kill anyone who blocks it!"

Li Geng knew that this was very risky, but things were urgent and it was time to take the risk. If the imperial edict from the cabinet is conveyed, these local armies that have gathered will disperse immediately.

After all, the prince is not the emperor, and the cabinet has taken over the justice of the world!

Moreover, the soldiers in the local army are all veterans and they all have their own ideas. Once an imperial edict is received, it will be dispersed in a hurry.

This is absolutely intolerable.
