The first ray of sunshine in the winter morning shines down on the smog area. A gentle breeze blew by, and the thick smoke gradually dispersed, making the distant Tongcheng wall visible.
But, can that city still be called a city? The Dashun soldiers looked at the opposite side quietly. The entire city wall had collapsed. There was a watchtower standing there alone. But they just took a look. The watchtower also completed its final mission and fell with a roar. Go down. From this direction, Tongcheng was in ruins, and the houses closer to the city wall were also damaged. Some people were buried under the rubble in their sleep, still breathing, and struggling to die.
A large number of landmine explosions caused an earthquake, shaking the entire Tongcheng beyond recognition. Countless people gathered at the gate of the city, looking towards the other side without knowing why. There was a cloud of smoke as far as the eye could see, and the smell of gunpowder was strong and pungent. There were Zong Sui soldiers maintaining order inside the damaged city gate. At the same time, they were glad that they were not the ones guarding the city last night, otherwise they would be under bricks now. The bones and limbs were broken.
As Zong Sui soldiers, they did not die on the battlefield, but fell from their own city wall to their death. Such a way of death made them feel particularly aggrieved. But why did the city wall suddenly collapse? What happened to the sudden loud noise late at night?
Some people said: "It's Dashun's sky thunder! Only Dashun's sky thunder can make such a sound, and only Dashun's sky thunder can blow up the city wall. Only Dashun's sky thunder can attack the city." Now! After they massacred Jiancheng, they are finally coming to massacre our Tongcheng city!"
Such words caused panic among the people and also aroused the anger of the people of Zong Sui. Some people said: "No matter whether Zong Sui is good or not, this is our own land and we cannot tolerate his invasion by Dashun!"
Someone said: "As a vassal state, Zong Sui paid tribute every year. Isn't this enough? I heard that Dashun invaded and occupied the entire Qianzhou, killed the Qianzhou Emperor, and also attacked ancient Shu. I just let him Ancient Shu had to give up half of its territory before it was over. Now they want to seize Zong Sui again? How much appetite do they have?"
However, some people have different opinions: "Is it really the Dashun people who bombed it? But we clearly saw that the place where the explosion occurred was outside the city wall. Is there a five-mile defense line over there? It is said that it was Lord Duanmu Anguo. A trap was set up underground in that five miles, just to catch the Dashun people when they invaded. Those five miles were personally guarded by his own soldiers, and they were heavily guarded. The Dashun people could attack them at any time. ?"
"Yes!" Different opinions were raised, and people immediately followed up with analysis, "If the Dashun people did such a large-scale explosion, it would be fine if they bombed the city. Why did they bomb so much land?"
People's sanity was restored little by little, and those Zong Sui soldiers were also asked: "You are the defenders of the city. Did you see anything last night? What is buried under the five miles of ground?"
General Zong Sui shook his head helplessly: "We used to take turns to defend the city, but since Lord Duanmu came, we are no longer allowed to defend the city. Now, the people who defend the city have been replaced by his Guardsmen, so we really don’t know what happened outside the city and the mechanisms in those five miles."
After saying this, the people's doubts became even worse, "Now that the bombing is over and the city wall is gone, where are the Dashun people? Why don't the Dashun people come to attack?"
As soon as I was asked this question, I heard someone shouting: "Look at the other side! Look at the other side! Are the people in the darkness over there the Dashun people?"
People looked along and saw the thick smoke gradually dissipating, and the endless army far away came into view. The people of Tongcheng took a breath of air and asked, "What is that if it's not the Dashun Army?" It turns out that the Dashun people are really coming to capture Tongcheng. But why are they only standing five miles away? The bombing is all done, come here and fight!
The people of Tongcheng looked at the Dashun Army, and the Dashun Army also looked at the people of Tongcheng. Gradually, the people of Tongcheng became somewhat enlightened. Someone boldly put forward an opinion: "It was probably not the Dashun Army who bombed the city that day. In my opinion, it might have been Lord Duanmu Anguo. Wuli Agency, his agency is Tianlei, right? He used Tianlei to It was buried five miles underground, and then exploded last night."
Everyone was in an uproar.
"But why did Duanmu Anguo want to blow up his own side? Is he full enough?"
"Perhaps the explosion was caused by accident?"
"No, no! What do you mean by your side? That Duanmu Anguo is originally from Dashun, he is not from our Sui sect at all!"
"Could it be that all of this is a trap? Is it the result of the internal and external cooperation between Duanmu Anguo and Dashun's army?"
The people of Tongcheng were angry. The speculation about this big explosion has since become what they think is the most reasonable guess. So someone took the lead to capture Duanmu Anguo alive, and someone even shouted loudly: "Duanmu Anguo lives in the cellar. I saw him fleeing during the earthquake yesterday, just in the south of the city!"
With these words, all the people in Tongcheng rushed towards the south of the city, shouting slogans such as "Capture Duanmu Anguo alive" and "Let Duanmu Anguo be buried with the dead people of Tongcheng" to vent their anger. Even the Zong Sui officers and soldiers were anxious because among the dead and injured there were also their relatives. So they followed together to find Duanmu Anguo, not only in the south of the city, but also in every corner of Tongcheng, just to search out the old thief Duanmu.
Nothing they did could escape the eyes of the Dashun people. The Dashun army had already rushed into the five-mile minefield that had been blown up under Xuan Tianming's order, leaving half of them behind to look for people. Half of them rushed towards Tongcheng.
At this time, Duanmu Anguo was also extremely embarrassed. Originally, one of his subordinates told him that Dashun's Seventh Prince and Princess Yu had entered the minefield. He was so happy that he cried out, and immediately sent out a divine shot to the city wall, trying to detonate the minefield to kill Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianhua inside. Although it was a pity not to blow up Xuan Tianming, the weight of Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianhua was enough to make his heart flutter.
Unexpectedly, the explosion in the Wuli minefield would be so shocking. The earthquake caused the underground secret room where he was hiding to collapse, and he had to escape in panic. They managed to escape the earthquake for half a night, but at this moment, another subordinate came to report: "Sir, the ninth prince of Dashun led an army into the city! I saw that nearly half of them were carrying There are those things called guns, and there are many people holding thunderbolts."
Duanmu Anguo laughed loudly and said: "Well done! They have guns, and so do we! They have mines, and we also have stocks. Let's gather troops and horses, and we'll meet the Ninth Prince in Tongcheng. Let's see Let’s see who is more powerful, his thunder or mine!”
However, before he could be happy for a while, he heard his subordinates say: "Sir, we can't assemble. Our troops suffered numerous casualties at the West Gate last night, and there were still 20,000 brothers stationed on the western defense line during the retreat. They were outflanked by Dashun and the entire army was destroyed. In addition, the brothers at the East City Gate, South City Gate and North City Gate were controlled by the original defenders of Tongcheng. Brothers with guns in hand heard about Dashun's Princess Royal and the Seventh Prince. After entering the minefield, I went to the west of the city to pick up the enemy, but... I encountered Dashun's Shenji Battalion. Except for his subordinates, no one came back." As he said this, he helplessly knocked the empty chamber out of his hand. The pistol was handed to Duanmu Anguo, "Sir, my subordinates came here desperately just to tell you that the guns in our hands seem... to be different from those held by the Dashun people. Theirs... are much better than ours. ."
"What?" Duanmu Anguo was shocked. He never expected that a battle that he was confident of winning would end up with such a result. His 100,000 personal soldiers and 20,000 soldiers were completely destroyed! Only one person with firearms and thunder came back! The soldiers at the West City Gate died under their own thunder! Also...he stared at the gun handed over by his subordinates. Is it different from Dashun's? Dashun's is better than his? "Tell me clearly, what's so good about it?" He no longer bothered to ask how many troops were left. The difference in guns gave him deep fear. He originally thought that such a heaven-defying thing would be hard to find in the world. It happened that Feng Yuheng had it and he had it, so it must be the same thing. But he didn't expect that theirs was actually better than his.
The subordinate couldn't explain what was so good about it. After thinking for a long time, he just said: "Their shots are farther than ours, they hit faster, and they look much stronger than ours." Think again. I thought and summed it up by saying, "It's like we eat whole grains and they eat white rice."
This is really an appropriate metaphor. Before Duanmu Anguo had time to carefully analyze the essential difference between coarse grains and white rice, his subordinates said again: "Sir, consider evacuating! This battle cannot be fought, and we don't need to fight for Zong Sui. Put your life on the line."
Duanmu Anguo was old after all. He couldn't hold himself back and coughed loudly. He wanted to live, but he also really wanted to have a good fight with Xuan Tianming. He had been hiding for too long, and even if he was recharging his energy, he wouldn't be able to do so for a few more years at his age. What's more, the contrast between whole grains and white rice made him suddenly understand that his so-called dormancy for so many years, his so-called adventures, and the thunder he possessed were so vulnerable to Dashun.
He was unwilling to give in, but the facts were before his eyes. The sound of the Dashun army rushing in could already be heard, and countless Zongsui people were clamoring to capture him alive as a traitor. Duanmu Anguo finally made up his mind and nodded: "Okay! Call everyone else and evacuate!"
At the east gate of the city, there is a safe passage that he specially set aside and that only they themselves know about. Unfortunately, when he finally reached the city gate, he remembered that the guards at the east city gate had been replaced by his own soldiers and Zong Sui's officers who were originally stationed in Tongcheng. He felt a little cold in his heart, but he still bravely shouted to the group of soldiers: "Kaicheng! This general is leaving the city!"
"Hey!" A strange and sinister voice rose from nowhere, "Master Duanmu, since you are already Zong Sui's general, you must act like a general. When the enemy invades, don't you? Leading troops to fight the enemy, where are we going?"
