Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Zhang Liangqiang supported the sick body and ordered the mobilization of civilians to clean up the battlefield. After treating the wounded, he drank the decoction prepared by the doctor and fell asleep.

However, not long after he fell asleep, the nightmarish roar came to his ears again, scaring him so much that he immediately woke up from his sleep.

Before there was time to tell whether the sound was from a dream or reality, the door was suddenly opened from the outside, and then a deputy general rushed in covered in blood:

"Sir, something bad has happened. Those...those pirates, they...they are here again."

The deputy general breathed heavily and told Zhang Liang what had happened.

When Zhang Liang heard this, he immediately sat up from the bed, ignoring the pain coming from the severed limb, and shouted with eyes splitting:

"What do they want to do? Didn't they say they had left Hangzhou and traveled across the state? Why are they back again?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another rumble in his ears, and then a scream sounded outside:

"Run quickly, pirates have landed!!!"

Hearing the sound, Zhang Liang and the deputy general looked shocked.

Aren’t these pirates not going to land?What's going on outside?

"Hurry out and see what's going on outside! In addition, call the remaining troops back. I suspect there is something fishy about this attack. It is possible that someone wants to take advantage of the troubled waters."

When the deputy general heard this, he felt it made sense and rushed out immediately.

At the same time, Chu Mo, who had just returned to Hangzhou from Yuezhou, once again commanded his warships and started a new round of indiscriminate bombing.

However, unlike the previous two times, the main target of the artillery attack this time changed from the civilians on the pier to the buildings on both sides.

Although most of these buildings had been destroyed in the first two rounds of attacks.

But Chu Mo still asked the gunner to aim the muzzle at the buildings and even the ruins for two rounds of bombardment.

After the bombardment, when Chu Mo saw the common people on the pier, the strong people, and even the soldiers all abandoning their helmets and armor and fleeing desperately towards the city of Hangzhou, he immediately ordered the fire gun soldiers who had been ready to go to start boarding. shore.

After the first two attacks, he had beaten all the officers and soldiers in Hangzhou to pieces. Now the whole city was in panic, and it was time to start harvesting.

Ever since, following Chu Mo's order, 8000 soldiers were sent out by Chu Mo to begin the landing battle.

Li Jing looked on and shook his head.

Obviously this kid was able to land and occupy Hangzhou City in the first two times.

But he insisted on making unnecessary moves, fighting back, and then fighting again. This was a complete waste of time, energy and money.

However, as the Duke of Wei of the Tang Dynasty, an important minister of the Tang Dynasty, and a member of the Tang Dynasty, I must not surrender to the enemy and treason. Therefore, how the other party fights the war has anything to do with me?

Just when Li Jing was disgusted by Chu Mo's inhumane attack, the Fire Gun Soldiers also began to land quickly.

Chu Mo's soldiers were very familiar with this kind of final battle situation.

When they were on the Japanese island, when they dealt with the Japanese slave rebels, they basically used artillery fire to defeat their main force, and then pursued the Japanese people and began to attack the Japanese's last line of defense.

However, Chu Mo's army did not expect the enemy's defenses to collapse as a result of driving the Japanese people towards the defense line, but simply wanted to consume their strength.

When the Japanese faced the people attacking the defense line, they shot or massacred them mercilessly without giving them a chance to get close.

In doing so, Chu Mo's army only treated the Japanese as a tool of consumption.

Now, this time the battlefield has been changed to Datang.

And Chu Mo shamelessly used this strategy again.

For no other reason than that, he just wanted to see the difference between humans and animals.

It was as expected by Chu Mo.

As the Fire Gun Army landed, all the people on the shore fled, directly following Minzhuang who was cleaning up the battlefield, and began to flee into Hangzhou City.

When the defender of Hangzhou City saw the pirate army carrying a large number of people and starting to attack the city, his heart immediately dropped.

Just when I was about to order the city gate to be closed, I saw many familiar faces among the people.

Looking at the soldiers around them, they all looked down with bloodshot eyes at the pirates who followed closely behind the people and kept driving them away.

Many of the people below the city were familiar to me, and some were even close relatives and friends.

If he dared to order his soldiers to wield butcher knives against the common people now, he would probably die under the swords of the soldiers around him as soon as the order was given.

After thinking about it, the guard decisively gave up the city defense and took his soldiers to escape towards another city gate.

As for whether to inform Zhang Liang, the general manager of the Jiangnan East Road march, and Fan Yi, the unconscious Jiangnan West Road military envoy, and let them evacuate together.

This matter was directly ignored by the guard.

He took the remaining 6000 defenders and went straight from the west gate to the east gate, and then left Hangzhou City without looking back, heading all the way towards Jiangning.

When Zhang Liang and Fan Yi, who had just woken up, received news that the Hangzhou garrison had abandoned the city and fled, Zhang Shun had already taken his soldiers and directly occupied the west gate. At this time, he was commanding his soldiers to start clearing out the resistance forces in the city.

After hearing the news that the city of Hangzhou had been destroyed and that pirates had entered the city, Zhang Liang and Fan Yi did not care about anything else and immediately fled towards the west gate with their guards.

In their view, the pirates who went to such great lengths to capture Hangzhou City must have built it into a major military town, and then relied on Hangzhou City's geographical advantages to use it as their landing point to develop and grow.

Therefore, the current city of Hangzhou cannot be retained no matter what. The only way out is to confront the Zhou Dynasty and the important town of Jiangning with a large stockpile of troops.

Zhang Liang firmly believes that the only place in Jiangnan East Road and Jiangnan West Road that can make them feel safe is Jiangning.

Only by getting there and mobilizing Jiangning's defenders could he possibly retake Hangzhou City.

As for the Zhou army confronting Jiangning across the bank, those are not what Zhang Liang worries about.

If he lost Hangzhou, he would have done a great job by recapturing Hangzhou, destroying the pirates, or driving them back to the sea.

After all, compared with Da Zhou, those pirates were just low-level bandits.

In the majestic Tang Dynasty, a major city was captured by a group of pirates, which would make people laugh out loud.

If he doesn't make up for his mistakes immediately, then His Majesty the Emperor and the courtiers will definitely not let him go.
