Chapter 1095

"Back to the king, the Tang army is still quiet!" a general reported in Gaochang palace.

In an instant, the whole palace was shrouded in a layer of pressure. Originally, the continuous offensive of the Tang army put great pressure on all officials in Gaochang.

However, now they found that the most painful thing was not when the Tang army acted, but when the Tang army was silent, which was a kind of suffering for Gaochang city.

"Is it the West Turkic reinforcements?" Qu Zhisheng hoped.

A Gaochang garrison general shook his head and said, "no, there is no army or horse under the Tang army city. It is just a siege.

"Is it Tang Jun who wants to deprive Gaochang city of soldiers of food? Tang Jun is wrong!" Qu Zhisheng sneered.

Gaochang officials were silent and couldn't bear to interrupt Qu Zhisheng. If the Tang Army wanted to besiege Gaochang City, I'm afraid it would have burned up Gaochang city. However, now even the hot-air balloon has been lowered, so it's obvious that there must be a later move.

When Qu Zhisheng saw the reaction of all officials, his originally excited heart suddenly cooled.

"Back to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang army issued an ultimatum?" suddenly, the envoy Gaochang came in a hurry again.

"Ultimatum?" all officials were stunned.

Gaochang envoy said with difficulty, "Tang Jun said that if Gaochang doesn't surrender in the afternoon of the third day, he will attack Gaochang city. Don't blame Datang for its ruthlessness when the city is broken."

"Afternoon on the third day!" everyone was shocked. In the past, Tang Jun sent only a letter of surrender, but this time Tang Jun sent an ultimatum. Obviously, Tang Jun's patience had been exhausted.

In an instant, everyone's eyes focused on Qu Zhisheng, and Gaochang's future was in his mind.

"If the Tang army attacked the city, I Gaochang can hold on for a few days." Qu Zhisheng looked at a group of Gaochang generals and led the way.

"As long as there is Gaochang City, I am not afraid of any enemy." gaochangshou said confidently.

Qu Zhisheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. However, General Gao Chang turned his words: "however, the Tang army has added a new gunpowder weapon, which is invincible. Tiancheng is destroyed by this weapon. The last general has never seen such a weapon and has no confidence in his heart."

Gaochang officials nodded one after another. Before the arrival of the Tang army, they were still confident to hold Gaochang city. However, the gunpowder of the Tang Dynasty really made them helpless.

"So, Gaochang city can't be saved?" Qu Zhisheng said coldly.

Gaochang general looked at Qu Zhisheng's gloomy eyes and couldn't help but say, "I will do my best. Unless I die, I won't let the Tang army step into Gaochang city."

Qu Zhisheng looked slowly around the officials and said firmly, "command the city to speed up the production of weapons to defend the city. He will never give up until the last moment. Maybe the Turkic Khan army will arrive at the next moment."

"Yes!" all the officials responded and left one after another to prepare for the defense of the Tang army.

Until all the officials left, Qu Zhisheng immediately collapsed on the throne. Once Gaochang fell, all the officials might be fine. However, his fate was the most miserable. Even if he surrendered, his best treatment was to become a puppet of the Tang Dynasty, like voshun of Tuyuhun. He was more likely to lose his throne and be escorted to Chang'an city. Together with Jieli, he became a powerful booty of the Tang Dynasty.

Either way, Qu Zhisheng, who has just tasted the danger of power, is unwilling. Of course, this is only the treatment after he voluntarily surrendered. Once the city is broken by the Tang army, he is likely to be killed by the Tang army with heavy casualties.

However, the throne has another invisible magic, which has always made Qu Zhisheng reluctant to give up. Even if there is a glimmer of hope, he is still unwilling to give up his throne. In his heart, he has been waiting for the reinforcements from Western Turks. He always believes that Yugu Sheh, who has this bone cutting hatred with Datang, can never sit by and watch Datang annex Gaochang.

With the passage of anxious time, three days passed slowly. Soon, the time for Tang Jun to issue an ultimatum is coming.

All Gaochang garrisons are in full readiness. The Tang army under the city wall has set up an attack formation. The hot-air balloon that has landed for three days rises again. Everyone knows that as long as the time has come, it is the time for the Tang army to launch an attack.

"King!" suddenly the general guarding the city saw Qu Zhisheng leading all officials to the tower in person.

Qu Zhisheng didn't pay attention to the general, but went directly to the city tower. When he saw the golden and iron Tang army, his heart couldn't help sinking.

"Western Turkic reinforcements haven't arrived yet?" Qu Zhisheng asked with a frown.

Gao Chang's general bowed his head and said, "tell your majesty, we are besieged by the Tang army, and there is no external intelligence at all. However, according to the observation of Wei Chen, the Tang army's troops have not been mobilized, and obviously we have not encountered foreign enemies."

"That ashnahoru, if he takes so much wealth from Gaochang, he will only shrink in Khan futu city." Qu Zhi roared angrily.

Gao Changshou said helplessly, "general Helu has only 20000 troops. I'm afraid he doesn't dare to attack 100000 Tang troops at all."

Qu Zhisheng could not help feeling powerless. Up to now, he had to rely on gaochangcheng's own strength. However, at the moment, gaochangcheng was extremely weak.

"The time is coming. The king should make a decision early, otherwise once the Tang army starts attacking the city, everything will be a foregone conclusion." Gao Chang advised.

Qu Zhisheng couldn't help struggling. Everyone knew that Qu Zhisheng had shaken.

Under Gaochang City, Hou Junji frowned when he looked at the magnificent Gaochang city. With his many years of experience in attacking the city, even if the Tang army captured Gaochang City, there would be heavy casualties. Fortunately, there were firearms in prison this time.

Hou Junji personally led the generals to the entrance of the tunnel. Seeing where Merton had already been, he asked, "how are the preparations for the ink sacrifice and the firearm supervisor?"

Merton arched his hand and said, "if you return to the big general, the tunnel has been dug. Now there is only the last step to place gunpowder.

Hou Junji said coldly, "what are you waiting for? Let's start."

With a wave of Merton's big hand, he saw firearm officers and soldiers carrying long coffin like boxes into the tunnel.

"Coffin!" the generals turned black. They were fighting, not doing it.

Merton explained: "although the climate in Gaochang is dry, it is still wet under the Gaochang city wall. In order to ensure the dryness of gunpowder, the gunpowder is placed in the coffin, which can not only ensure the dryness of gunpowder, but also multiply the power of gunpowder in a closed space."

After hearing this, Niu JINDA grinned and said, "it's also quite appropriate to use coffins to send a funeral to Gaochang city."

In full view of the public, the firearm prison went to Gaochang City, placed dozens of coffins, arranged leads to a safe place, and then sealed the tunnel.

"As long as the general orders, just light the lead here, and the Gaochang city wall will fall with one blow." Merton proudly said with a torch.

This move was a copy of the battle of attacking the city of Tianping Heavenly Kingdom. In those days, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom went all the way north, repeatedly broke the city, and loaded the coffin with gunpowder. It can be said that it made great contributions. Everywhere it went, the city was broken. Of course, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom also lost in this move. The Hunan army also broke the Tianjing City with gunpowder, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom perished.

"Is it so simple?" Hou Junji said in surprise.

"The general will know as soon as he tries," Morton said confidently.

At this moment, the sun has risen to the sky, noon has arrived, and the deadline for Tang Jun has come.

"Fire!" Hou Junji ordered coldly.

"Obey orders!" Murton Lang said, raising a torch to light the fuse.

"Wait a minute! Gaochang has surrendered and there is no need to bomb the city." suddenly, Xin liao'er's happy voice came from the front.

They suddenly looked up and found that the white flag of surrender had been hung on the head of Gaochang city. They were relieved. Sure enough, Qu Zhisheng couldn't bear the pressure of breaking the city and decided to surrender.

The people couldn't help but look at the mojiazi with regret. Since Gaochang surrendered, they naturally couldn't see the power of the mojiazi to blow up the city wall with gunpowder.

However, to everyone's surprise, the Mo family didn't seem to hear Xin Liao's voice, which directly ignited the fuse.

"What's the meaning of Mo sacrificing wine? Gaochang city has surrendered. Why do you light gunpowder?" Xin liao'er angrily scolded. If Gaochang City voluntarily surrenders, everyone will contribute to this war, and he has made the greatest contribution before. However, if the firearm supervisor directly breaks through the city wall, I'm afraid the contribution of this war must be attributed to Mo Jiazi.

Merton said faintly, "general Hou has ordered the ignition, and Mo naturally wants to obey the order of the general. Moreover, our army besieged Gaochang city and Gaochang City surrendered. The countries in the western regions will certainly think that Gaochang is just forced. Now our army has broken through the Gaochang city wall with gunpowder and personally demonstrated to time the power of our Datang siege. Who dares to challenge our Datang tiger power in the future?"

Xin liaoer was furious and said, "what you said is light, not selfish, just for you and the firearm supervisor!"

As soon as Xin liaoer's voice fell, he suddenly felt a tremor under his feet. Suddenly, a loud noise came from the bottom of the ground. The people looked in horror. The Gaochang city wall was cut off like a piece of paper and blew down ten feet.

"The power of gunpowder is so terrible!" all Tang generals stared at the Gaochang city wall. As soon as they overestimated the firearm prison, they finally found that they underestimated the power of the firearm prison.

Since then, the city wall has been the strongest shield for thousands of years. Now it finally meets the sharpest Spear - gunpowder.

Morton patted Xin liao'er, who was stunned, and sighed: "Mo has a selfish heart, but Mo's selfish heart wants to personally test the power of gunpowder in actual combat, and the deployed Gaochang city is the best opportunity. Otherwise, Datang Kong has the most powerful weapon, but it has not been used, and finally it is just on paper."

Hou Junji looked at Merton deeply and said, "the ink sacrifice is right. Datang has such powerful weapons to show. Since then, who else in the world dares to provoke Datang, otherwise Gaochang city is his lesson."

"Come! Attack the city!" Hou Junji shouted fiercely.

In an instant, the drums shook, and a large number of Tang troops rushed towards the collapsed Gaochang city wall. The stunned Gaochang garrison had no resistance at all.

Only on the Gaochang city wall, Qu Zhisheng, a frightened general, cried and laughed: "my king surrendered voluntarily, my king surrendered voluntarily."

However, Gaochang city was in chaos, and no one cared about the former Gaochang king. With the Tang army invading the city, Gaochang defenders surrendered one after another without any resistance.

So far! Gaochang city fell.
