Han Shizu

Chapter 255 Attack
Monk Zong Lun flickered all the time, probably because he was too attentive, he believed it himself, his face was full of emotion, as if full of Zen, but the movement of twirling the beads in his hand unconsciously accelerated a lot.

Li Shouzhen's mental state at this time was obviously not very normal, and his intention of blaming Zong Lun was also true, but after listening to his words of relief, the wrinkles on his face disappeared a lot.

"As the mage said, destiny is in solitude, and this kind of training will make you weak-hearted. If you have a small setback, you will hesitate." Li Shouzhen controlled his emotions, regained his calm, and muttered.

Looking at it like that, it seemed that he believed Zong Lun's words again, but it seemed more like he was just looking for Zong Lun for comfort.

"Order all the troops to be vigilant against the Han army. The generals of the army should strictly restrain the soldiers. Tell Wang Jixun that if there is any change in the generals and soldiers, they can be killed first and then played!" Taking a deep breath, Li Shouzhen ordered coldly.

During the period since Wang Jixun's rebellion, he fought very hard. Although he lost more than he won against the army, but because of his bravery and that rare small victory, he gained Li Shouzhen's trust even more. He was appointed as a patrol inspector to inspect Pucheng.

Hearing the order, Sun Yuan and Liu Rui's two subordinate officials looked at each other, and they both felt that Li Shouzhen had not returned to his usual "heroic".After a little hesitation, Sun Yuan couldn't help but suggested, "Your Majesty, the Han army is besieging the city. People in the city are in panic and the army's morale is in turmoil. Do you want to distribute money and food from the treasury to reward the soldiers and improve morale?"

After thinking about it for a while, Li Shouzhen waved his hand: "You hold the order of Gu, handle it accordingly, and tell the sergeants that following Gu will surely defeat the Han army!"

This statement, the number of people present, I don't know how many people believe it, how much they believe.

When Zong Lun stepped out of the hall, he let out a heavy breath, his body couldn't help shaking, he didn't have the image of an eminent monk in his usual life.The cold wind blows, the back of the heart is cold, and before I know it, the back is already wet.Li Shouzhen, who was in the hall just now, obviously frightened him.

Looking back at the still magnificent palace, a strange color flashed in the eyes that had lost their "Buddha spirit".

"Master." The novice who was waiting outside the hall nervously stepped forward and called out humbly.

"Go back to the monastery hall and give orders. I want to retreat and pray for the king and the soldiers!" Zong Lun stood upright and walked away quickly.

However, he secretly thought in his heart that he had to find a way to escape and protect himself.At the same time, it is inevitable that I will be disappointed. I hit it off with Li Shouzhen at the beginning, and after spending so much time, I finally helped him raise an army. This glory and fame have not been earned, and they have already fallen apart, and the danger of life is at hand.
Why don't you just create a rebellion? Why did the Han Dynasty react so quickly and violently? Could it be because the emperor was too young?
In the hall, Li Shouzhen left his son alone, pressed his shoulders, and solemnly ordered: "Chongxun, I will hand over the [-] tooth soldiers in the mansion to you to lead. After that, the situation is unpredictable. If something goes wrong Take someone to escort the family to break through the siege. The Han army only surrounds the east, south, and north. There may be a way out, but you have to break through by yourself.”

Hearing Li Shouzhen's heartfelt words, Li Chongxun was stunned, looked at his father, and said doubtfully, "Father, you."

"Hmph! Does Zong Lun really think that Gu is so easy to deceive? He just tacitly admits it. Now that the situation is in danger, how can Gu not see it!" Li Shouzhen said lightly, with the corners of his mouth curled up in a mocking arc.

"Then what about father?" Li Chongxun nodded suddenly and asked anxiously.

"Don't worry about Gu!" Li Shouzhen waved his hand, showing a stubborn and low face again.

Without explaining anything to Li Chongxun, he forcefully drove him out of the hall, then hunched his burly body slightly, dragged his heavy steps, walked to the back of the case, straightened his robes solemnly, and sat firmly on him. on the throne of King Qin.

In the early morning of the next day, before the dense fog cleared, the officers and soldiers in the east and south camps filled their stomachs early, and then moved in an orderly manner. Role and location, ready to attack.

Although the sight was not very clear under the fog, the actions of tens of thousands of people and weapons could not be concealed at all. The dull movement had already aroused the vigilance of the rebels in the east and south cities.

When the sun rose high and the fog cleared, the situation under the city revealed its true face.More than [-] officers and troops on both sides were neatly distributed within the entire wall of the village, completely orderly.

Previously, the construction of the Walled City had many camouflage facilities, but now it has been completely demolished, and it has completely changed into a new look.

And the hundreds of trebuchets arranged according to the Walled City also revealed their true colors.Dozens of three-bow bed crossbows neatly placed in the front row also tore off the sackcloth covering them. The prongs and arrows were thick and long, and the gun feathers shone with a sharp cold light. They were sharp weapons that could almost pierce the city wall. On the city, people can step on it and wait for it.

The atmosphere was serious and tense. Seeing the scene below the city, the guards on the city looked at each other in blank dismay. They all saw fear in their eyes, and there were quite a few voices of drooling.After hearing the news, the commander of the rebel army who came up to the city, cursing and cursing, also changed his complexion drastically when he saw this scene, and couldn't help but lose his voice.

In the southern camp, a temporary viewing platform was built, nine feet high, outside a safe distance.At this time, Liu Chengyou, under the protection of the inner guards, stepped onto the stage to watch the battle.

Died condescendingly, with a panoramic view of the situation of the upper and lower armies in Pucheng, especially the strength of the officers and soldiers, which brings people a kind of excitement that makes people feel heartbroken.

Zhao Yanjin held his sword and stood by. Although the army had been in the depths for a long time, it was the first time he had this opportunity to see the overall situation. He had never discovered that the prosperity of the Han army was so fascinating.Involuntarily looking carefully at Liu Chengyou who was calmly drinking tea, Zhao Yanjin's respectful expression seemed to be a little more sincere.
"Send orders to attack!" Liu Chengyou didn't care about Zhao Dianzhi's subtle psychological changes, and said coldly as he swept his stern eyes towards the "short" rebellious city.

Under the order, the flag-holding generals and schools on the viewing platform immediately waved the flags to give orders, and all of a sudden, the orders were passed on in sequence, and the entire army siege formation was activated.The war drums beating, and the shouts suddenly rose.

Accompanied by bursts of neat shouts, the first to start were those trebuchets.Twenty jin of stone bullets, pulled by the soldiers with all their strength, were suddenly fired towards the city head, smashing towards the wall and scull with unparalleled ferocity.The wrestlers who have been specially trained move neatly and smoothly without any sense of stagnation.

From slow to urgent, from sparse to dense, it gradually becomes a scale.Soon, in addition to the continuous ups and downs of shouting and chant, there was the sound of stone bullets hitting the city, "bang" and "boom", one after another, the impact was so dull that it hit people's hearts. The sound was mixed with the screams and wailing of the rebels.

The trebuchet, which is pulled by manpower, does not have high requirements for the accuracy of the launch. To attack the city, you only need to throw it on the city.When it comes to lethality, the threat of stone bombs is actually limited, but it is full of deterrence, especially under intensive strikes.

Just looking at the stones flying at high speed is enough to make people fearful, and there are many guards in the city, there are always unlucky ones who are hit and turned into minced meat in an instant.Such bloody scenes had a more direct impact on the morale of the rebels.Pu Jun in the city is not strong in quality, and many of them are temporarily recruited for training.

The result is that above Pucheng, dodging, screaming, howling, and chaos.
When Nancheng launched an attack, the Dongcheng side, under the command of Bai Wenke, also made similar moves.Under the impact of the stone bullet, the whole Pucheng almost trembled!
