Time travel, sell Tang poems at the beginning

"Ding ding ding..."

A brutal fight began when the two sides met. Fan Cheng and his men were all absolute elites selected from the Jingjiansi headquarters. Needless to say, their martial arts skills were beyond compare. In a one-on-one fight, Fengyu Wei was no match at all.

However, the Fengyu Guards were numerous and powerful, and two fists could not beat four hands. Fan Cheng and his Jingjian Guards began to retreat step by step, and people kept falling under the swords of the Fengyu Guards.

At the moment when Fan Cheng and others were surrounded by the Fengyu Guards, the Huben Army continued to escort the dragon chariot forward and soon arrived at the South City Gate.

"Boom boom boom..."

At this moment, a series of explosions suddenly sounded on the south city wall.

"Hahaha……"

"My Dayan army has surrounded Hegu City, Murong Zhengming can't escape. Brothers, we have completed the task ordered by the commander. Everyone listen up, avenge the dead brothers, kill them!"

"kill……"

Fan Cheng led a dozen surviving guards and launched a final attack on Fengyuwei...

"Ding ding ding..."

After a fierce fight, Fan Cheng, covered in blood, fell under Jia Zhichun's sword.

As soon as the sound of cannon fire rang out, General Hou Dong of Qingzhou, who was waiting at the south gate to welcome Murong Zhengming out of the city, immediately led his men to the top of the city wall. Looking around, he saw that outside the city were densely packed with burning torches.

It's over. As the general guarding the South Gate, I had no idea that the Yan army was besieging the city. His Majesty will definitely not forgive me if he finds out. I'm completely finished now.

In fact, it was not Hou Dong's fault. The emperor was about to evacuate, so there was no need to guard the city gate. Moreover, Murong Zhengming's dragon chariot was about to arrive, so it was necessary for Hou Dong to go to the city gate to greet him in person.

Half a quarter of an hour ago, Hou Dong had just walked down the city wall, and Lin Feng rushed to the South City Gate with three thousand musket battalions, five thousand artillery battalions and the Tiger Guards.

After everything was ready, Lin Feng immediately ordered one hundred artillery pieces to fire.

As soon as the sound of cannon fire rang out, Lin Feng immediately ordered his soldiers to light torches, which led to the scene that Hou Dong had just seen.

"Boom boom boom..."

Artillery shells kept exploding on the city walls, and countless soldiers defending the city were killed on the spot.

"Deputy General Shi, what's wrong with you? The Yan army has surrounded the city, don't you realize it at all?"

"General, please listen to my explanation. Just now it was pitch black outside the city. Suddenly there was an explosion on the city wall, and then torches were lit outside the city. There was a lot of noise inside the city, so I couldn't hear anything outside the city!"

Hou Dong's face darkened. "Deputy General Shi, take your men to guard the city wall. I will go to see His Majesty right away!"

"Yes, General!"

Suddenly, there were frequent explosions at the South City Gate, and the dragon chariot stopped on the street.

"Lord Wu, what's going on? Hasn't the hidden spy in the Mirror Inspection Department been dealt with yet?"

Murong Zhengming's voice was heard, and Wu Kaiyuan, who had been following the dragon chariot, immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the secret agents of the Mirror Inspection Division have been surrounded by the Wind and Rain Guards, and the explosion now sounds like it came from the South City Gate."

"South Gate? Lord Mo, go and get me the guard of the South Gate immediately."

"Sir, obey the order!"

Mo Wuji clasped his hands and immediately urged his horse to gallop towards the South City Gate...

Soon, Mo Wuji brought Hou Dong to the side of the dragon chariot, "Your Majesty, here comes the South City Gate Guard General Hou Dong."

"Lord Hou, what's going on with the South Gate?"

Hou Dong quickly dismounted and bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Yan army has surrounded the city, and it is the artillery battalion that is shelling the South Gate."

After Hou Dong said this, Murong Zhengming could no longer sit still. He immediately stood up and walked down from the dragon chariot. He quickly came to Hou Dong and asked, "How many people from the Yan army have come?"

"Your Majesty, judging by the number of torches outside the city, there are about 50,000 of them."

Murong Zhengming's face darkened, "Lord Mo, do you have the confidence to lead the army out of the city to repel the Yan army?"

Mo Wuji immediately stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty, the city gate is too narrow and the Tiger Guards cannot charge in large numbers. Once the Yan army blocks the city gate with muskets and artillery, the Tiger Guards will die if they rush out."

"Your Majesty, there are Yan troops at the South Gate. If we want to leave the city, we can only turn around and go through the West Gate." Wu Kaiyuan said.

Murong Zhengming nodded, "The Tiger Guards will immediately change their route and go through the west city gate."

"Sir, obey the order!"

Mo Wuji bowed and immediately mounted his horse.

"Boom boom boom..."

At this moment, explosions were heard simultaneously at the three gates in the north, west and east of Hegu City.

Mo Wuji immediately said, "Your Majesty, the explosion sounded like it came from the direction of the three city gates in the north, west and east. It seems that the Yan army has surrounded Kyoto. I'm afraid we can't leave."

It's over, it's completely over now.

At this moment, Murong Zhengming's face suddenly turned gloomy. Is Da Yue really going to be destroyed in my hands? No, no, no, I will never be a king who loses his country. There must be another way.

"Lord Wu, is there any other way you can get out of the city?"

Wu Kaiyuan thought about it carefully and suddenly thought of the hot air balloon that could fly into the sky. He immediately cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, if we want to leave the city now, we can only take a hot air balloon."

"But the Yan army also has hot air balloons, and the range of the Yan army's artillery is more than 300 steps, while the hot air balloon can only fly to a height of 200 steps at most. If the Yan army uses artillery to attack the hot air balloon, the consequences will be disastrous. Your Majesty, please think twice."

Murong Zhengming nodded, "Lord Mo, how many hot air balloons do we have in total?"

Mo Wuji quickly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, during this period of time, the Military Equipment Bureau has produced more than 3,000 hot air balloons. One thousand were distributed to Hegu Pass. I still have more than 2,000 in my hands?"

“How many people can two thousand hot air balloons carry at most?”

"Your Majesty, each hot air balloon made by the Military Equipment Bureau can carry a maximum of two people. Two thousand hot air balloons can carry four thousand people."

After Mo Wuji said this, Murong Zhengming's plan to fly out of Hegu City with the Huben Army failed. Without enough troops to protect him, even if he managed to avoid the artillery attack of the Yan Army and escape from the city, he would still be hunted down endlessly by the Yan Army. However, if he continued to stay in Kyoto, he would surely be captured by the Yan Army and become a prisoner of Huangfu Gongcheng.

At this moment, Murong Zhengming could neither leave nor stay. After weighing the pros and cons, Murong Zhengming immediately decided to stay in Kyoto.

"Lord Mo, the Tiger Guards will fully assist the generals of each state to defend the four major gates of Kyoto. We must not let any of the Yan army enter the city."

"Sir, obey the order!"

Mo Wuji bowed and immediately urged his horse to leave. Then the Huben Army on Tianhe Street began to split into four groups and quickly rushed towards the four major city gates.

"Lord Wu, have someone notify all civil and military officials to discuss the matter in Tianhe Hall."

"Sir, obey the order!"

Wu Kaiyuan bowed, immediately got on his horse, and left quickly...

"Get off and drive back to the palace!"

After Murong Zhengming finished speaking, he immediately turned around and returned to the dragon chariot. Then the dragon chariot slowly drove towards the palace under the escort of a large group of Tiger Guards.

That night, the Tianhe Hall was brightly lit, and the king and his ministers of Yue State discussed countermeasures overnight...
