I’m The King Chapter 1260: : Carrying forward the past and ushering in the future (150) The death of Zhongli

The attackers were suppressed in the creek and could not advance an inch. The feathered arrows shot from the Zhongfu were ruthless and accurate, but the few soldiers who climbed up were shocked to see that outside the courtyard wall, there were iron bars all over the place. Tribulus terrestris, for a while, was unable to move an inch.

Wang Qiang stared wide-eyed at the opponent on the courtyard wall. At this time, he finally understood that he was being tricked by others, and he was too careless. Withdrawing back, let the crossbowmen step forward under the cover of the shield, ready to suppress, but Wang Qiang is not sure about the effect of this suppression, because of the lack of bows and arrows, these soldiers are not very good at archery. The soldiers of Zhongfu are not above the same level at all.

"Brother Wang." A man behind me trotted over, "The general has an order, all the archers shoot upwards at the fastest speed, don't worry about aiming, just shoot, and strive for one:pig:pig:island : Novel 3w.o time."

Wang Qiang looked back and saw that it was Niu Teng's personal guards. Behind him, more than a dozen men in black were squatting on the ground. He nodded: "Understood."

"Also, all soldiers should plug their ears, and no matter what noise they hear, don't panic or move around." The guard continued.

Next, all the rebels received this strange military order. Among these thousands of people, only a very small number of people who came out of the Han Dynasty knew what it meant.

Everything was ready, Wang Qiang gave an order, and the hundreds of crossbowmen who had been called up quickly pulled the bowstrings, and randomly put feather arrows on the courtyard wall. Anyway, the order from above was to just shoot, and shoot as fast as possible.

When the dense feather arrows whizzed past, more than a dozen men in black stood up at the same time, put the black guy in their hands on the torch and lit it, and the sound of burning sounded, Wang Qiang smelled a faint smell of sulfur in his nose.

His arms rounded. A dozen or so dark things flew through the air, surpassed the courtyard wall of about 30 meters, and landed behind the courtyard wall. Then, loud noises came one after another, accompanied by a burst of The bursts of flames and the sound of more than a dozen loud noises were superimposed together. In the ears of everyone, it seemed that they heard an extremely long sound of thunder, and it was not far away in the sky. But close to the ear.

After the thunder, although the attackers blocked their ears, the continuous loud noise still frightened them. But at this moment, there was the sound of howling ghosts and wolves, and a long section of the courtyard wall collapsed. The soldiers of the Zhong family who stepped on the ladder and shot desperately outside the courtyard wall and supported them suffered heavy casualties.

After the collapsed courtyard wall. The soldiers of Zhongfu ran in a panic, a dozen men in black jumped up, and while running forward, more than a dozen black lumps flew out of their hands. Flew to a place farther away.

There was another explosion, and in the flames, Niu Teng rushed forward with dozens of his personal guards, following the man in black.

"Kill, kill in!" Niu Teng shouted sharply.

Wang Qiang stood up straight. The soldiers around were lying on the ground, unable to move in fright, and he stretched out his feet in a fit of rage and kicked wildly. "Stand up, stand up, attack, attack!"

Under Wang Qiang's continuous kicking and beating, the soldiers in the ditch finally came back to their senses, and under the leadership of Wang Qiang, they rushed towards the courtyard shouting, although there was still a little tremor in their voices.

When the loud bang sounded, Zhong Li suddenly stood up from his chair, "Dynamite!" he said in a trembling voice. He counted everything, but he didn't count, and Han Guo secretly brought this weapon into Shu County.

He looked at the densely packed bandits rushing in from outside the collapsed courtyard wall, and at the Zhong family soldiers running around like headless flies in the courtyard, his face turned pale, it was over, everything was over. Back in Chu State, when the Han people used gunpowder to destroy the city, even the regular army of Chu State was scared out of their wits, let alone these family soldiers?

The loud bang not only destroyed the walls of the Zhong family's courtyard, but also destroyed their courage and determination to resist, and the rest would be a one-sided massacre.

Gently raised his hand, closed the window, turned around and walked to a corner of the room, opened a large cabinet door, took out a jug of good wine from the top floor, walked to the table with both hands, opened the jug, Fill the glass with amber-like wine. There were hurried footsteps downstairs, and the door was pushed open with a bang, and Zhong Huai appeared in front of Zhong Li covered in blood, "Father, I can't stop it, I can't stop it." He staggered forward He walked a few steps, fell to the ground with a bang, twisted his body and tried to struggle to get up again, but there was nothing he could do.

With a bang, the wine jar smashed to the ground, and the smell of wine permeated the building. Zhongli squatted down, and hugged his son in the pool of blood with trembling hands, "Father, hurry up, I can't stop it, the second brother is already dead!" He died, he was killed in the first wave of explosions, and the Han Chinese developed new weapons, not the kind of explosives you told us about.”

Looking at Zhong Huai in his arms gushing blood continuously, Zhong Li burst into tears. Because of the sensitivity of his position, he did not allow his son to step into the officialdom, but even so, in the end he still The lives of the sons were not saved.

There were fierce fighting sounds downstairs, and screams sounded from time to time, and they approached him quickly from the ground floor, but Zhong Li just looked down at the third son who was already as angry as a gossamer in his arms.

The sound of fighting downstairs disappeared, and a sound of powerful footsteps came up step by step, appearing at the door, looking at Zhong Li squatting on the ground and Zhong Huai in his arms, the visitor paused for a moment, then Step through the door.

Zhong Li raised his head and looked at the big man in front of him dressed in Qin Jun's clothes. He slowly put down the dead son's body in his arms, stood up, straightened his clothes, and took a deep breath: "Your Excellency What position do you occupy in the National Security Bureau of the Han State? If you can bring out this kind of weapon, your position should not be low!"

"Master Zhong Hou is really clever, I'm going to be Niu Teng." Niu Teng clasped his hands.

"Niu Teng?" Zhong Li thought for a while, "Is it because Ning Xin followed her Niu Teng when she defected to Gao Yuan?"

Niu Teng smiled slightly, "Unexpectedly, Master Zhong Hou knew my details so well? No wonder Dean Cao regards you as a lifelong enemy. Hearing that you resigned and returned home, Dean Cao invited everyone to have a drink , very drunk."

Zhong Li nodded slightly, "Dean Cao, although he is a rising star, I have always admired him. He is a great and ruthless character. General Niu, have you been in Shu County for a long time?"

"Yes, it's been almost two years. We came when the peasant army uprising started in Shu County. It's a pity last year. We came too late and the rebel army has been extinguished. But God is very kind to us, you Qin Ting gave us a second chance." Niu Teng laughed.

"It wasn't given to you by the imperial court, it was given to you by corrupt officials like Guo Qing." Zhong Li shook his head.

Niu Teng laughed loudly: "Master Zhonghou, don't forget, among these people is your son Zhong Kui. You know that such behavior will endanger the foundation of Daqin, why don't you stop it?"

Zhongli smiled bitterly: "The general trend is the trend, what can I do? The only thing I can restrain now is my family, but what's the use? What should happen will still happen. I close the door and become a deaf person. Blind man, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't die peacefully on the bed, maybe this is also the retribution of killing too many people in my life?"

"I'm very sorry!" Seeing Zhong Li with a tired face, Niu Teng saluted this veteran in the intelligence industry: "If we want to achieve great things, we must use your life, Mr. Zhong Hou, to do it." An introduction."

"If I were to die, I think you would have tried Zhou Liang's ideas. He was originally from Yan. After he came to Shu County, he became extremely corrupt and fell so fast that it was beyond imagination. I want to use him as a starting point to make Shu County completely chaotic, right?"

Niu Teng was stunned, and the admiration in his eyes became stronger, "Mr. Zhonghou is really powerful. You can even count this. Yes, Zhou Liang has fallen now. Even though Mr. Zhonghou left his position, If your identity is there, if you die in this peasant uprising army, the imperial court will definitely be furious, and Zhou Liang’s head cannot be kept. If he wants to live, he has to rely on us, and only we can give him a way out.”

"The price is to send all the Qin troops under his command into your jaws?"

"Good!" Niu Teng nodded.

Zhong Li was silent for a while, then slowly shook his head and said, "I'm about to die, what are you still thinking about? General Niu, please let me die with dignity. Also, please ask you one thing, after I die, Please put me and my two sons in the coffin, don't let us die outside~IndoMTL.com~Can you?"

Niu Teng nodded: "Okay, the general will send you off respectfully."

Zhong Li bowed his head, glanced at his son's body on the ground, sat down, picked up the wine glass on the table, looked at Niu Teng with a smile, tilted his neck, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Niu Teng stood quietly, and Zhong Li looked at Niu Teng calmly. Gradually, blood flowed out of Zhong Li's nose and mouth. Sit firmly on the chair.

Seeing Zhongli's appearance, Niu Teng couldn't help being moved, and bent down deeply.

In the middle of the night, a raging fire was ignited in the Zhong Mansion. Before the raging fire, three coffins were lined up, which became the background pattern of the rebels who were gradually moving away from here.

In Xialiang Town, Zhou Liang and Zhong Kui led troops from two directions, but an hour before they arrived, the rebel army besieging here had disappeared without a trace. They divided into several small groups, quickly evacuated, and disappeared into the vast night.

When the sky was falling, a fast horse came galloping from the direction of Zhongtiao Mountain. (to be continued...)
