"put!"
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Gunshots rang out one after another, and the streets were instantly filled with blood. Several figures who were still trying to cause trouble suddenly fell down in a mess.
The sword and shield warriors in the back row stepped forward and struck the Mobei people who were still alive.
The whole street was now covered with bloodstains. Not to mention the blood flowing everywhere, it was already flowing in a steady stream. The smell of blood filled the air, but it only made everyone present feel more indifferent.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty continued to move forward, and the armor and stomach on their bodies made a low metallic collision sound as they walked. They were connected together, but they were extremely powerful.
Passing another street, you can see dozens of extremely embarrassed Mobei infantry. At this moment, each carrying property they don't know where they looted, they are fleeing to the north city in a panic.
"Raise the gun!"
The musketeer behind the sword and shield warrior stood out from the gap in the crowd, and raised his loaded musket with a swish of sound.
With a sound of "Wow", dozens of Mobei people knelt down and shouted in panic. Although they couldn't understand what they were saying, they must have meant surrender or something like that.
The officer in front of the formation shouted loudly: "The Holy One has decreed that the barbarians from Mobei who bully our people of the Tang Dynasty and destroy our land of the Tang Dynasty must be punished for their crimes! We, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, should pay homage to the people of the Tang Dynasty." The people fight against crime!”
After speaking, he drew out the sword from his waist and raised it forward.
"Shenji Camp, let go!"
Feeling that something was wrong, the Mobei people were about to get up, but the musketeers in front of the Tang army's camp had already opened fire. A series of gunfire sounded, and there was no more Mobei people in the field.
Scenes like this can be seen everywhere in Zezhou City.
Going into the general's palace in the inner city, a general wearing Jin armor quietly listened to the gunfire one after another inside and outside the city. Finally, he laughed miserably and raised his knife to kill himself.
…………
When the army entered the city, most of the streets had almost been cleared. There are also soldiers guarding every street entrance and city gate, and there are also officials to pacify the remaining people in the city.
"This is a good plan, Mr. Jing. Li Keyong has now lost nearly 30,000 men. He must not be able to sleep well at night."
Riding a horse, Li Jing slowly rode in from the city gate, and at the same time laughed and praised Jingxiang, who was accompanying him on horseback.
Jingxiang didn't show any complacency on his face, he just gently shook his fan, narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"It is also because the leader of the Jin Kingdom this time has no general ability, he actually led most of them into the city, and only a few thousand troops were stationed outside the city to help each other. In this way, the Holy One can use the ambush inside the city to block the city and put it away. The reinforcements of the Jin State were all destroyed. Without the Holy Majesty to lead the troops, even the thousand plans of the old ministers would be in vain..."
Li Jing chuckled, accepting this small flattery.
The Jin army's mistake was actually caused by inaccurate intelligence. Although the scout battalion of the Tang Army was not as large as Mobei, it was more capable. The grassroots officers were basically former elite bad guys, and the communication between Zezhou and Luzhou had almost been blocked.
Without the desperate dedication of these good men, the entire battlefield would have been taken advantage of by the Mobei cavalry.
Thinking of this, Li Jing tilted his head, and Zhong Xiaokui, who was accompanying him on the right rear side, approached with the horse's belly between his arms and asked in a low voice: "What are your orders from the Lord?"
"I remember that Lieutenant General Quinn, who died for his country, was a bad person before?"
Zhong Xiaokui nodded: "Exactly, Vice Admiral Kui was subordinate to the Taiyuan branch before he was merged into Jinyiwei. Before his death, he was under Duan Qianhu of Beiya. After joining the army in the Northern Expedition, he took the position of deputy general of the Scout Battalion due to his seniority."
Li Jing was silent for a moment, then asked: "Does he have a wife and children at home?"
Zhong Xiaokui was stunned for a moment, then called the person behind him up. After some questioning, he replied nervously: "Vice-General Kui is not married and has no children."
Seeing her nervous look, Li Jing just smiled and comforted: "I asked suddenly. It's normal that you don't know about this kind of thing. Don't think too much about it."
After saying this, he mused again: "In this way, you can let someone choose a child from a good family who is willing to adopt him. It doesn't matter if he is an orphan, but he must have a clean family to inherit the incense for Vice General Kui. From now on, for the descendants of the Kui family, Qingming There can also be people offering sacrifices to him during festivals..."
Zhong Xiaokui didn't dare to be careless and sent someone to do it immediately.
"The Holy One loves his soldiers as his sons. I, the King of the Tang Dynasty, will serve as the Tiger Brigade. We are all willing to serve the Tang Dynasty and the Holy One to the death!"
On the side, Jingxiang spoke solemnly.
At this time, all the officials and generals had entered the inner city, and they had just seen the fierce battle. Most of the houses on both sides of the street had been burned. Although they were rescued as soon as possible, they were still completely ashes.
The defeated troops of Jin and Mobei resisted the most fiercely inside the inner city. Even now, soldiers can still be seen dragging the corpses of Mobei people and placing them on carts to be dragged outside the city to be burned.
It is already June. If the corpses are gathered together for a long time, it may easily lead to a major epidemic. There is no need to be careless.
Taking everything in his eyes, Li Jing said sternly to Jing Xiang: "If the world is stable, why do I need the death of my soldiers?"
"The barbarians in Mobei deserve to be exterminated, and the likes of Li Keyong and Shi Jingtang deserve to die even more! What's so surprising about the princes wanting to be kings and hegemons, but why do the people deserve it? The world has been in chaos for many years, which has already made their livelihood difficult. , and now just for the sake of his ridiculous hegemony, he actually attracted the barbarians to go south, and allowed these barbarians to plunder and kill the people!
If he is a tyrant, I should appreciate him, but when the two armies are fighting, this man will do anything to harm the people. How is he different from a pig or a dog? I am not as good as Taizong, and I don't care about the evaluation of the tyrant in later generations, but I just want to make the people's lives better. Score that much! "
"After this battle, I have designated Yi Li and Shi as the Ten Clans! We will bring justice to the millions of people in Hebei!"
After saying this, he picked up the reins, pointed at the Mobei Qushuai who was being held by soldiers on the side of the street, and said loudly: "Let him go back! Let him bring a message to Queen Yingtian."
"If Mobei is not destroyed, I, Li Jing, will not be the emperor in vain!"
Jingxiang and other civil and military officials all looked solemn, dismounted from their horses, knelt down and saluted.
"For the great cause of the Holy Sage, I will do my best to serve you!"
————
It's June, and the south has already entered the scorching hot season, but it's still a little chilly in the Yandi Youzhou area.
But this chill emanated more from the woman in front of him.
"Destroy me in Mobei...ha!"
Shuliduo smiled coldly and sat on the city leader's seat. He just looked at the extremely embarrassed Qu Shuai below and continued to ask: "Is it true that everyone in the Tang army is equipped with firearms?"
The Qushuai nodded his head like garlic and said in panic: "In response to the Queen of Heaven, the people of Tang Dynasty are like heavenly soldiers. As soon as the sons entered Zezhou, they rushed into the city. During the fight, they all had the power of thunder and punishment! We... let's go back to the grassland... The people of Tang Dynasty are really cruel, and the emperor is also very cruel. They are all reincarnations of devils, and only Changshengtian can resist them..."
At the end of his speech, his voice was already trembling, as if he was remembering the tragic situation in Zezhou City again.
Shurido frowned and waved his hand.
"It is causing harm to the morale of the army. Drag it down and chop it down."
Immediately, soldiers came forward and dragged him out.
In addition to her, there were also heads of other tribes in the palace. As the Mobei army moved south, these leaders naturally would not stay behind, and were naturally brought out together.
Shuliduo's expression remained unchanged, he just smiled and raised his wine glass, toasting to the heads of the tribes on both sides of the hall.
"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is self-aware. How long can he sit on the throne of the emperor when I move from Mobei to the south? He still wants to destroy me, Mobei, which is really shameless! I, Mobei, are the lord of the grassland, and the entire clan is blessed by the Immortal Sky. How can the people from the Central Plains destroy it?"
The leaders of all the tribes were obedient. No matter what they thought in their hearts, they all raised their glasses in agreement.
"What the queen said is..."
Shuliduo smiled, stood up from his seat, looked around at everyone, and then raised his wine glass and said: "But right now, it will take a long time to defeat the Tang Dynasty. The battle on the front line is intense, and perhaps we need more warriors from each ministry. Come out and add strength to my big plan in Mobei."
As soon as these words came out, the leaders of the tribes fell silent. They looked at each other, but they just held back their words.
But immediately, the door of the palace was pushed open with great force, and a strong figure strode in, followed by more than ten strong men, but they all wore armor and sabers, and they all looked fierce.
"Now the king is trapped in Luoyang in the south. Since you are the king's subjects, don't you want to help?"
In the panic of the leaders of the tribes, the strong figure bowed to Shuliduo with his arms crossed.
"Zhao Siwen has met the queen."
Unexpectedly, Shuli Duo turned his face serious and said in a deep voice: "General Zhao, what are you doing? You are all the leaders of various ministries. How can you be allowed to force me?"
But as soon as she finished speaking, the leaders of each department spoke out one after another: "General Zhao is all thinking about the king. How can it be forced? I have nearly ten thousand warriors in the Yuling Department, and I am willing to contribute to the great plan of Mobei."
"There are thousands of warriors in our Japanese company. They are all strong men who are skilled in bows and horses. They will surely be able to enter Luoyang and rescue the king..."
"I……"
With everyone's words and words, another fifty or sixty thousand people were gathered together, which made Zhao Siwen quite satisfied, and then he bowed to Shuliduo and the leaders of each department with their hands crossed.
"In this case, Zhao will not disturb the queen and your lords' pleasure, so I will take my leave."
He looked up and saw Shuliduo smiling faintly at him. He also nodded, turned around and led the dozen or so tall Mobei warriors back.
Shuriduo was determined. There was good news coming from the craftsmen who were under severe pressure. Although they could not perfectly replicate the Tang Dynasty's firearms, they could still make a rough appearance.
If you give her some more time, she will definitely be able to create an army of firearms like those of the Tang Dynasty!
Feeling happy, she asked the maid next to her to pour herself another glass of wine, and then raised it.
"For Mobei, drink this cup to the full!"
