Chapter 466: Artillery strike

A month later.
With the intentional cooperation of Kun Wu's injury, Gu Shubai led the army to break through to Xixian City.
Kun Wu was once a major general. He had some resources in the army, but it was not so smooth.
It was too easy to break the city all the way, but Kun Yuyang and others felt strange and worried that this was a trap.
Gu Shubai is not surprised at all.
"Just look at the soldiers who turned up for compilation."
Kun Yuyang, with curiosity, personally went to the soldier camp of Tosei, only to find it strange.
Half of these soldiers had Dong Ling's accent, and they enthusiastically discussed "Gu Family Shizi" without any discouragement in defeat.
As if they were not Xi Kun soldiers, but they were originally Bei Li soldiers.
"We are neither Xi Kun nor Beili. We are all Dongling!"
The soldier said with Kun Yu: "If it wasn't for Dongling to become like this, how could we be exiled to Xikun and become Xikun's soldiers? We don't understand anything else. We only know that we have one son. We'll go wherever we go, it must be right! "
Kun Yuyang couldn't help but be funny, she really underestimated Gu Jiajun's prestige in the hearts of Dongling people.
The Emperor Kundi had a good idea, thinking that attracting the exiles of Dongling to Xikun to join the army would strengthen Xikun's military power. Where did it come from that these people weakened Xikun's defense?
When they saw Gu Shubai, they rushed to see what Xi Kun or Bei Li was.
In this troubled world, all land and cities are bargaining chips between nations. Today belongs to Dongling, and tomorrow may belong to Xi Kun.
The country ’s attraction to the people is too small. Only a true hero can respond to it.
Gu Shubai is exactly that.
"The newspaper--"
The news came from outside the account, "General, the seven princes can no longer be contacted. What is happening to our people is still inquiring, only knowing that the West Kun Dynasty is in a mess!"
Gu Shubai frowned, "What does it mean to be unconnected, and I don't know the specific situation, or even a rough guess?"
The soldier said busyly: "The spies said that as the army approached Xixian City, the royalists in the DPRK and the party that supported Kun Junyi gradually aimed at the seventh prince. Before the seven princes lost contact, the spies saw a courtier bringing people in The seventh prince ’s house, and then there is no news of the seventh prince. Our people cannot enter the house, but it can be concluded that the seventh prince should not leave the house. "
He lost contact without leaving the house, either imprisoned or assassinated.
Gu Shubai didn't want him to have an accident. One thing he could do was to lead the soldiers into Kun Wu's injury. The original exchange was that Kun Wu injured to cooperate with him, and he had to rush to save Kun Wu's life as soon as possible.
If Kun Wu is injured, not only will he feel guilty, but the situation in Xi Kun will become more chaotic and no one can lead it.
Gu Shubai looked at the soldier, "Is there no news in the Xi Kun Dynasty?"
"No, no reply or surrender."
After all, Xixian City is a national capital with a dense population. Clan aristocrats and courtiers abound. For such a city, it is always necessary to persuade the army before it can start.
The letter of persuasion has been sent to the DPRK, but hesitated.
He can imagine that at this moment the West Kun Dynasty must be hotly debated, whether it should surrender or bear resistance.
Surrender is not the style of a belligerent country like Xi Kun, but the strength of the stubborn resistance to the Northern Army does not lose the Gu Jiajun of the year. They have no capital to resist.
Gu Shubai pulled an arrow from the case. "Wait, since they can't make a decision, then the general will help them."
The arrow was dropped, and the artillery fire flew up to Xixian City.
Among the three countries in Kyushu mainland, only Beili has firearms, but people just have never heard of it.
Not wanting today, they finally met.
The red fireballs with flames flew in the direction of Xi Kun Palace, and when they landed, the sound of the mountain shaking with the ground shook a palace in half.
Kun Yuyang knows the layout of Xixian City very well, and directs the firearm battalion to hit the artillery in the direction of the West Kunming Palace to avoid hurting the innocent people in the city.
The court officials in the palace were arguing endlessly in the Golden Temple, and they were quieted down when they were bombed by artillery.
"What's going on?"
"It's an artillery, it's Beili's artillery!"
"Isn't it true that Beili owns artillery? He has never seen them used!"
Talking again, another artillery fell on the square in front of the temple, blasting black smoke, and the ministers in the temple lay on the ground in a horrible manner.
"Cough, cough"
All blood and fighting spirit were vanished in the face of this powerful weapon, and they knew that even the most powerful Xi Kun warriors of the martial arts could not fight this artillery.
It's like a condemnation from heaven, they can only endure their heads and endure, they can't compete with manpower.
"The newspaper--"
A soldier hurried in outside the hall, "My lords, this is the letter that Beili army just shot on the city wall, and the general's subordinates were immediately sent to the palace!"
The ministers opened the letter indiscriminately, and someone said: "If there is no surrender after half an hour, the West Kunming Palace will be razed to the ground, and the payment is Gu Shubai ?!"
The North Korean military commander heard the words Gu Shubai more frustrated than seeing artillery blasting in front of him.
Xi Kun almost never won Gu Jiajun. They could not win Gu Huaijiang in the past, but now they can't win Gu Shubai, let alone Gu Shubai who owns artillery.
In the barracks outside the city, many unseen soldiers marveled around artillery, but couldn't dare to get started.
They did not see the scene where the artillery exploded in the Xi Kun Palace, but they could hear the terrible explosion, and saw the wood and stones blown up by the palace into the air.
Such lethality makes people dare not even touch.
"General, you can even ask your Majesty to come to firearms, why did you not say a word while in Weizhou? I can only see such a magical weapon today."
Kun Yu was so surprised that she was directing the position by herself, and she also understood some of the operation methods of this artillery, so Rao was still afraid to act rashly.
Gu Shubai said: "When I heard the news of Weizhou being attacked, I brought soldiers all night, how can I ask His Majesty to ask for a firearm? What exactly is a firearm? I have only heard of it. His Majesty was worried that Weizhou could not Ning Bo Ning ordered the firearms to be postponed. If there is another incident of insufficient force in the future, these firearms can be used to deter the enemy. "
Yan Yan followed, and heard something wrong, "Ah? So, these firearms were used by His Majesty to deter the Xikun people, but did not tell you to really fight them out! Now, Xikun Palace is almost going to be We're half blown, does it really matter? "
auzw.com Gu Shubai glanced back at him, not angry.
Yan curled his neck and gave himself a round field. "The general will talk a lot, and His Majesty and the general will be in a good spirit. Naturally, he knows how to use it."
Kun Yuyang couldn't help laughing, Gu Shubai said, "Gu Jiajun and Xi Kun have been fighting for decades, and they have been setting up spies in Xixian City to learn about the news in the West Kun Dynasty. Ministers of Xi Kun I know very much about their dispositions. They are belligerent, arrogant, and ambitious, but the more so, the easier they are to be deterred by a stronger presence than them. Yuyang, do you think? "
Kun Yuyang nodded. "The general said quite well."
Gu Shubai also said: "Beili has always had firearms, and the Ministry of Defense has a firearms room. Although the firearms are not available, they have not stopped improving and further researching. The reason why they are not used is because the lethality is too worried about the death of innocent people. But Today, we are not using firearms on innocent people, but in palaces. If those ministers surrender because of fear, they can reduce many casualties, which is not contrary to His Majesty's original intention. "
Everyone heard that the gain was a lot, Yan Yan couldn't help wondering: "Is it true or false that you just said that the palace was blown down without seeing the book for half an hour?"
"I'm afraid this question, you will never know the answer."
Gu Shubai's eyes looked slightly at Xixian City. Someone hung a white flag on the wall, for fear of slower movements, an artillery would fly towards him.
At the same time, the gates of Xixian City opened, and a group of trembling shivering came out holding the book.
"Please forgive General Gu, your majesty is newly bereaved in our country, and the prince is also in your Beili yet to return, so Xiaguan will deliver the surrender."
Had it not been for the fact that both Kundi and Kunjun were absent, and there was no central government in the DPRK, they would not have surrendered without such hope.
Gu Shubai didn't care about this. He just turned over the book and handed it to Kun Yuyang, "What about the Seventh Prince of your country?"
The envoy was surprised, and I wondered why Gu Shubai mentioned Kun Wu's injury. After thinking about it, there was a strange speculation in his heart, and Gu Gubai looked a little unwilling.
"Xiaguan is just a small diplomat in charge of the DPRK. I don't know about the seventh prince. Please ask the general for someone."
Gu Shubai quickly understood what he meant. He believed that Gu Shubai's army could drive directly through Kun Wu's injury and despised this behavior, so he was unwilling to tell Gu Shu Bai Kunwu's injury.
Gu Shubai didn't expect him, and he turned back to the soldiers and said, "After entering the city, the rules should be the same as before. Qiu is not guilty and treats the captives. If there is an offender, stand up to it!"
Said to step on the horse first, regardless of the look of the envoy standing aside.
Decisive
Looking at the usual eyes of the generals behind him, it was clear that Gu Shubai always governed the army in this way. No wonder the people and generals in the city did not have much worry when he descended from the city.
They knew that Gu Shubai's army had a strict discipline, and even if they broke the city, they would not indiscriminately kill innocent people, and their worries and anger were naturally reduced.
The envoy suddenly trembled and thought deeply.
I don't know if Gu Shubai really rigorously controlled the army, or did he rely on this appearance to make it easier for him to capture other cities?
Gu Shu Bai Ming Kun Yuyang went to the Seventh Prince's Mansion to find Kun Wu's injuries. As the commander of the army, he must make a trip to the advanced palace to settle the situation in the city.
He didn't want to go to the palace door but saw a familiar figure. The man was wearing unsuitable coarse linen, with a dipper on his head. When he saw Gu Shubai, he took the dipper and smiled at him.
"You didn't even go to the Seventh Prince's Mansion to find me. I was the first person to think of you at the moment of life and death. I didn't even think of Yufu."
This time can still laugh so heartless, who else besides Kun Wu injury?
Gu Shubai glanced at him, "Just limbs are good. You think I don't know. What you think of is me, is that the bag I gave you?"
Kun Wu snorted softly, and Gu Shubai reached out and pulled him to the horse, all the way into the palace.
I saw many burnt explosions in the palace. Even the square in front of the main hall was blasted by artillery into a black pit. Kunwu was surprised.
"The artillery has been used. If Yufu decides to use it earlier, will I still have the opportunity to surrender to you?"
Gu Shubai glanced back at him, "Of course. We are your elders and will naturally take care of you."
Kun Wu hurt: "" Yu Fu is a sister, so what respect does he come to charge? "
He then remembered that Yufu and Gu Shubai were married, and they are now a well-established husband and wife, and they really can afford to respect him.
He dismounted in the square in front of the temple. "You go first. I'll change clothes and come again. I don't have to tell the ministers who are dog-minded to look down on me."
Said to walk in the direction of the harem, Gu Shubai saw blood stains and worn marks on the back of his clothes.
I don't know what he has endured these days.
Gu Shubai didn't think much about it. He took the first person to enter the Golden Hall, and the Manchu Wenwu looked at him with horror, like things like artillery throwing into the palace. They didn't want to go through it again.
Gu Shubai Yuan thought that when he went to the Golden Palace, he would definitely be condemned by all the ministers. He was already prepared mentally.
I didn't want the ministers to just watch him uneasily, and no one dared to speak.
He immediately understood that the group had no head, and these ministers did not dare to get ahead at this time if they had a temper.
He looked at the crowd with a smile, "I Beili made good relations with Xi Kun. Her Majesty promised Kundi that he would never invade in his lifetime. But Xi Kun took the lead in tearing the treaty and attacked Beili Weizhou City twice. The Crown Prince went to Beijing to explain in person, His Majesty did not prosecute. This time the offense has intensified. His Majesty still adheres to his commitment to Kundi, only defending and not attacking. "
He stood on the top, glanced at everyone, his eyes were cold, "Now that Kundi is dead, Tianli is destined for Beili to fight back. Otherwise, you think Beili, like Dongling in the past, will only defend and not attack."
The ministers narrowed their necks subconsciously, and he was right and irrefutable.
When Gu Shubai was still the major general of the Dongling family, Xi Kun repeatedly invaded the Dongling border, and the fighting continued for many years. Today, Gu Shubai has become Beili's general, and his momentum is getting more and more aggressive, not as gentle as Gu Houye.
Shouldn't he take the opportunity to publish personal hatred?
When all the ministers were in their hearts, Gu Shubai suddenly pulled off his sabre at the waist. "Although Xi Kun was injustice first, my Beili is not a ruthless country. If the Emperor Kun is dead, as long as The ministers here have no heart. They surrendered and made peace with each other. The general will never treat you harshly. The general will not invade the people. This can be guaranteed. Ben is merciless! "
Speaking of throwing a sword towards the gate of the palace, Shengsheng cut a seven-inch-thick mahogany carved door in half and fell on the ground with a loud noise.
The crowd could not help but be frightened.
Kun Wu changed his clothes and walked to the door of the temple, just seeing this scene, patted his chest and walked in, "Fortunately, it was cut on the door. How much pain should it cut on people?"
Speaking of squatting and using his fingers to compare the thickness of the wooden door, "Well, I don't know if a person's shoulder is as thick as seven inches."
The ministers who were standing close to him couldn't help but be afraid, and they were far away from the broken wooden door. Kun Wu got up and looked at the ministers in the palace.
"You adults have been waiting for a long time. The prince has been hugged in the house for a few days and has not entered the DPRK. This has worried you. Have you always wanted to know what happened when the father emperor died?"
He smiled, not at all like the dead brother. "The prince came to answer your questions, and please testify to General Gu."
He headed to the top and stood next to Gu Shubai. "The emperor was poisoned, but unlike the adults, he was poisoned not by the prince but by the prince."
Dang Yu, the leader of Chao Zhongkun, was reluctant to hear the words, "You bullshit! His Majesty was not at the time when his Majesty crashed. Do you want to spill dirty water on him?"
"Just because he is not in the middle, it proves that it is his handwriting."
Kun Wu did not panic at all, and said to the hall: "Come, please bring all the doctors in the Tai Hospital to the hall, and let the adults ask for it and listen to it."
