Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Zhen Fengzi had been eager to try for a long time. After hearing the order given by Du He, he immediately responded loudly and excitedly.

"As ordered!"

"Don't worry, Minister Du. I will make sure the enemy troops in the city feel the flames of the thunderbolt!"

After finishing speaking, Zhen Fengzi waved to several fellow Taoists around him, then walked towards the catapult carrying the explosives with an excited look on his face.

This is the first attempt to use a catapult to throw a bomb!

I don’t know what the effect will be!

Tens of thousands of soldiers looked at this group of Taoists, their faces filled with strange expressions.

"Is this the thunder bomb?"

"How can such a small thing cause such great damage?"

"It is said that the Sky Thunder was created by the Korean Princess. The Korean Princess is truly an immortal!"

When they attacked the main force of the Western Turks a few days ago, they had basically witnessed the power of the thunder bomb, and the earth-shaking explosion was still vivid in their minds.

Now that they have seen the true appearance of the Thunder, they are so curious.

Changsun Wuji narrowed his eyes and looked at the explosives on the shoulders of Zhen Fengzi and others. A look of surprise first appeared on his face, and then turned into a greedy expression.

If he could get the thunder bomb in his hands, wouldn't he be able to accomplish great things?

It’s a pity that Du He watched the thunder bomb too closely, so it’s hard to find an opportunity!

Hey!

Du He glanced at Changsun Wuji, then gave orders to Su Dingfang.

"General Su, order the army to retreat three hundred steps."

The first time you use a catapult to throw a thunder bomb, there may be accidents.

If the powerful bomb cannot be thrown out and a huge explosion occurs on the spot, it will definitely injure its own people.

Just in case, it's better to move away.

"promise!"

Su Dingfang responded and then shouted loudly.

"Send the order to General Du, the army retreats 300 steps!"

As the command flag was waved, the soldiers turned their horses around without any hesitation and retreated to the wilderness behind them.

On the city wall.

The Western Turkic defenders, who were originally nervous, all showed puzzled expressions on their faces when they saw the Tang army retreat.

"what's the situation?"

"Why did the Tang army retreat?"

"Could it be that the Tang army saw that our city was too high and didn't dare to attack it?"

As the soldiers watched the Tang army retreat further and further away, they all showed joy on their faces.

A few days ago, Yibi Duolu Khan withdrew 2% of the troops in the city and went to ambush the Tang army outside Baishuihu City, resulting in only defenders in their Gongyue City.

Moreover, only 30% of these defenders were strong men, and the remaining 70% were people over 40 years old.

Faced with tens of thousands of elite Tang troops, even with the support of strong city walls, they had no confidence in repelling the Tang army.

It’s time for a cup of tea.

When the defenders on the city wall saw that the Tang army did not retreat but stopped in the distance, they discussed it in confusion.

"what happened?"

"Could it be that the Tang army intends to charge and break through the city on horseback?"

"The Tang army only brought a dozen catapults and no siege ladders. Do they think they can break through our city walls?"

"Why does my right eyelid keep twitching?"

When the commander of Gongyue City heard what the soldiers were talking about, his brows furrowed tightly.

Something is wrong!

There is something wrong with the Tang army’s actions!

The middle-aged defender squinted his eyes and looked at the Tang army's catapults. His bad premonition became stronger and stronger.

After a cup of tea.

I saw one of the Tang army's catapults throw something like a stone over.

Although the stone was thrown into the city, the Western Turkic defenders still shouted.

"Watch out for the rocks!"

The rest of the defenders were not afraid at all. They looked at the sparking stone indifferently, and their hearts were full of contempt for the Tang army.

That's it?

Can a small stone scare them?

Just when they looked relaxed, a loud noise suddenly came from the city.

"Oh!"

As the loud noise was heard, a mushroom-shaped flame suddenly spread out into the sky.

The sudden scene before their eyes frightened the defenders on the city wall and the people in the city. They stood there in a daze for a long time, unable to move.

Before they could react, the second explosive exploded on the city wall.

"Oh!"

All the defenders within a hundred steps of the city wall fell in a pool of blood after the loud noise.

The bodies of the soldiers who were closer to the loud noise had become mutilated, and even those who were a little further away had become bloody messes.

This bloody scene made the other surviving soldiers nauseous.

"Ugh~"

They leaned against the city wall and vomited up their gall.

In addition to vomiting, many of these soldiers were so scared that they wet their pants. In addition to the smell of burning, there was also a strong smell of urine on the city wall.

Within a cup of tea, the Tang army threw two bombs in succession.

The Western Turkic defenders on the city wall were so frightened that they crawled down the wall and knelt on the ground to apologize to God.

"God, please don't be angry!"

"If the gods send down divine punishment, then strike the Tang army outside the city to death!"

"The Tang army is the executioner who kills without blinking an eye!"

In addition to the defenders on the city wall who knelt on the ground to apologize to the gods, the women, children, and the elderly in the city were also frightened and knelt on the ground.

Even when the raging fire was rapidly burning the yurt, these people remained indifferent.

The mayor of Gongyue City led his personal guards to the place where the flames were spreading. He saw the soldiers and civilians kneeling and kowtowing blindly, and he became so angry that his face turned ashen.

He shouted loudly: "Get up! Everyone, get up for this general!"

"This is just a little trick played by the Tang army. How can it be a punishment from the gods?"

"Soldiers, garrison the city walls. People, hurry up and fetch water to put out the fire. Otherwise, Gongyue City will be destroyed by the fire!"

After hearing the words of the city lord, the soldiers and civilians seemed to have found their backbone and they all got up.

Before they could leave, another loud noise was heard outside the city wall.

"Oh!"

After a loud bang, the tall city wall behind them collapsed, followed by a loud sound of horses trampling across the sky.

Everyone looked along the collapsed city wall in horror, only to see the Tang army outside the city rushing towards them like a tide.

The mayor of Gongyue City's lips trembled, and his voice changed in fear.

"Enemy...enemy attack!"

"Hurry and defend against the enemy!"

He no longer cared about this damn god. The most important thing at the moment was to resist the tens of thousands of Tang cavalry who were about to rush over.

The Tang army is the killing god who can take their lives!

These soldiers were already frightened out of their wits. They stood up tremblingly, but their legs could not move.

The mayor of Gongyue City smelled the urine odor coming from the soldiers and civilians, and then took a look at the Tang cavalry approaching quickly. He cursed in frustration.

"waste!"

"You stay here and wait to die!"

After cursing, he turned his horse around and left without any hesitation.

The city walls had been destroyed, and the soldiers were so frightened that they couldn't even move forward. In this situation, staying in the city would only lead to death.

But his attempt to escape was doomed to fail.

The Tang army had already surrounded Gongyue City. Where could he run to?
