I’m The King Chapter 1498: : One hundred and eighty-eight decisive battles under the flag of Han Dynasty 3

The spring wind blows Lu Chao on the terrace of the Black Ice Terrace Hall. Although the sky is sunny, Lu Chao still feels the wind is very cold, from the outside to the inside of the body.

Xianyang City under the sun is at the foot of Lu Chao, but in his eyes, it is full of haze. He squinted his eyes, but what he saw was not the trees growing new leaves in Xianyang City, but the city wall , yellow weeds above the house.

Bad news came one after another. Two Han cavalry penetrated into the interior of Qin at a very high speed. Their purpose was not to siege the city, but to disperse the conscripts who were concentrating on Xianyang City. militia. In just over a dozen days, dozens of troops were dispersed by them, and the Qin army who escorted these militiamen was killed.

Although the cavalry of the Han army came at a fast speed, it was still within Lu Chao's expectation. Cavalry of the Han Dynasty in guerrilla warfare.

Because it was expected, Lu Chao was not angry because of this, but today, a major event happened in Xianyang, which made Lu Chaoli angry. Since he received the report early in the morning, he has been standing here There was no movement on the terrace.

Mingtai disappeared. Mingtai and the Black Ice Terrace troops under his command disappeared without a trace overnight.

Ming Tai is Lu Chao's most trusted partner. It was the close cooperation of the two that successfully overthrew the rule of the Ying family of the Qin Dynasty. You know, it's just a puppet. Lu Chao believed in Mingtai, and never thought that Mingtai would abandon him like this.

Because he believed so much, Lu Chao was even more angry after it happened. Mingtai's position was too special, and Lu Chao had no defense against it at all, which made Mingtai disappear without a sound.

The whole Xianyang was shaken by Mingtai's disappearance. Xianyang City, which was already in panic, became more commotion, and even Mingtai ran away. It can be seen how deteriorating the situation has become. Politically, this was a fatal blow to Lu Chao.

Footsteps are heard behind him. Lu Chao didn't need to look back to know that it was Gouyi who had returned. He smelled a faint smell of blood, and his brows frowned involuntarily.

"How many people were killed?" He asked lightly.

"General, the last general arrested the remaining members of the Black Ice Terrace, but nothing came out." Gou Yi lowered his head and said in shame: "It's all the general's fault, some time ago. The last general Signs of instability in the Black Ice Terrace have been found, but the general did not expect that the Ming thief had a plan to escape."

"It's not your fault, because I didn't think of it." Lu Chao shook his head, "Those remaining people from the Black Ice Terrace, who are not dead, let them go, Mingtai gave up on them , that's because they are not Mingtai's confidantes at all, so they can't find a reason to interrogate them. Let them go. Put them into the army to fight."

"Yes, General." Gou Yi hesitated, "I'm afraid our city defense deployment will have to be re-arranged. Mingtai knows all about this. If he defected, the Han army would deal with our The layout is well known."

"It's not necessary, and it's too late." Lu Chao shook his head and said, "The key to fighting the Han army this time is not to defend the city, but to fight in the field. If the decisive battle outside the city fails, no matter how strong the defense is, it will be broken. Appearing, any traditional deployment of city defense will be useless.”

"Yes." Gou Yi sighed. This is not an era where more combatants can win. The advent of gunpowder weapons. The war has fundamentally changed.

"How much did our artillery produce?" Lu Chao turned around.

"General, all the craftsmen in Xianyang are now used to cast cannons. Dozens of cannons can be cast every day, but the amount of steel specially used for cannons in the Han Dynasty we obtained is too small. The quality of the guns is not up to standard. During the experiment, the chamber often explodes. Out of every ten guns, at most one or two are barely qualified. The craftsman said that if he wants to prolong his service life, he can only reduce the amount of charge , but the amount of charge is reduced, the range and power of the shells will be greatly reduced, and in addition, we will never be able to make the blooming shells of the Han people.”

"There's no need to experiment, just make as many as you can, as long as they can fire a shell without bombing." Lu Chao said coldly. "As long as it can be shot out, it can cause damage."

"By the way, the bronze cannons made of copper by the craftsmen in the workshop are of better quality. There are about a hundred such cannons, but we have no more copper." Gou Yi continued.

"There is no reason why the huge city of Xianyang can't find copper. Pass on my order. Everyone in Xianyang must hand in all the bronze wares at home, including copper coins, for use in making guns. Anyone who hides and refuses to hand over will be punished as collaborating with the enemy."

"Understood, I will do it right away."

"You are not in a hurry." Lu Chao walked to his big desk in the hall, sat down, and looked at Gouyi. Gou Yi strode to Lu Chao's front.

"General, what other orders do you have?" Gou Yi asked.

Lu Chao picked up a newspaper on the table and threw it to Gouyi. The newspaper seemed to be a bit dilapidated, and the corners were already damaged. Gouyi glanced at the Dahan Daily and saw the date on it. A piece of news, Gao Yuan ascended the throne and became the emperor, and the Han Kingdom became the Han Empire.

Virtue and three emperors, meritorious deeds surpassed the five emperors, and the big thick and black characters emperor constantly stimulated Gou Yi's eyes.

This newspaper has been in Lu Chao's hands for a long time. Obviously, he has read it many times, otherwise it would not be so broken. I understand.

"General, that fart, it's time to step aside. Now that Daqin is in danger, we need a wise king. No, an emperor will lead us out of the predicament and lead us to defend Xianyang , repel the Han people, and rebuild the glory of our Great Qin."

A smile finally appeared on Lu Chao's gloomy face, he stood up, and strode out, Gou Yi quickly followed. Walking out of the main hall of the Black Ice Terrace, the glare of the sun made Lu Chao's eyes sting slightly. After a short pause, he strode towards the steps.

Behind him, Gou Yi followed closely with the soldiers of the Eagle Department.

With a bang, the door of the main hall was pushed open, and two rows of soldiers poured into the hall. The puppet king of Qin who was drinking porridge at the table, the little king of Qin is only eight years old now, beside him, sits his mother in name, the woman who used to be a maid in the eldest prince's mansion back then.

Seeing Lu Chao coming in with a murderous look, the luxuriously dressed woman trembled, and she fell limply to the ground. As a woman who had stayed in the prince's mansion, her knowledge is naturally much stronger than ordinary women , Ever since she was recruited to play such a role, she knew what her future fate would be, but as a weak woman, she knew that any resistance was meaningless.

Eight-year-old King Qin was still holding a spoon in his hand, staring blankly at Lu Chao.

Gou Yi strode forward, stretched out his hand, and rudely snatched the spoon from Little Qin King's hand, and said coldly: "Your Majesty, now that Qin is in danger, hundreds of thousands of tyrants have come Gong, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and the people of the United Kingdom all feel that the mighty virtue of the king is really not suitable for leading our Great Qin to fight against the tyrants. Anyone who is willing to fight for it will take on this role.”

The eight-year-old little King Qin didn't understand what Gouyi meant, but the court lady who was paralyzed on the ground understood immediately. She stretched out a hand and dragged the stunned little King Qin to the ground, looking up At the beginning, she shouted loudly: "Your majesty is willing to sit in the position of the general, and I only ask the general to keep my mother and son for the sake of my orphans and widows, and for the sake of obeying the orders of the general all these years." A way out."

Lu Chao smiled, walked over, and sat down, "You are very sensible, so you will survive. Don't worry, I will not kill you."

The next day, the sky was bright, and the bell rang melodiously in the palace to summon the ministers to discuss matters. Walking towards the platform, although everyone knows that Little Qin King is in Zhengyang Palace, but now, the real person in charge lives in Heibingtai, and Heibingtai has been the supreme ruler of Qin State for decades center.

Right now in Xianyang City~IndoMTL.com~Mingtai's departure has brought this panic to its peak. In Xianyang City, the Eagle Department led by Gou Yi wantonly hunted and killed powerful ministers, ransacked their families and exterminated their clans. . Everyone doesn't know whether they can live to see the sun of tomorrow. Even the core figures of Li's academics don't have any sense of security now. If you have a lot of wealth, you will be targeted. And the core figures of the Li School, who have stayed at the highest level of Qin State's ruling for decades, holding real power, are precisely such a group of people. In the past days, there have been three core figures who have followed the example of the Li School Falling under Lu Chao's butcher's knife, the name is Tong Han, but in fact, everyone knows what it is for.

A general walked over with a tiger's face, cupped his fists and said to the frowning courtier: "My lords, please go to Zhengyang Hall to discuss matters."

In front of the Zhengyang Hall, there were densely packed soldiers, and when they stepped into the hall, everyone was stunned, because in the hall, there were even fully armed soldiers standing there, and they were all the famous Yingbu soldiers in Xianyang City People and horses.

Little King Qin, with a snow-white complexion, was sitting in the middle, and standing beside him was the current actual controller of Qin State, General Lu Chao.

"See the king, see the general!" Many courtiers fell to the ground and bowed down under the steps. (To be continued.)
