Under no talent, is a world famous general

Chapter 402 Destruction!

Seeing Qin Yi's troops roll out ten catapults, slightly different from the previous two, Xun Yucheng's heart trembled suddenly!

He exclaimed in surprise, "That...that catapult..."

The deputy general on the side said in shock, "It's new, the last general has never seen it before!"

After being affirmed, Xun Yucheng was even more astonished. He never expected that Qin Yi would improve the catapult again!

Damn, why does this guy have so many talents?

No one can compare Wentao and Wulue, and he also has a unparalleled skill in the world!
This……

Before he could finish his shock, Qin Yi's soldiers began to put the stone bullets into the leather case.

Chen Yu was in charge of the front army, and he was slightly happy when he saw his subordinates loading stone bullets.

To be honest, he didn't expect that Zhen Shuai could continue to improve the catapult.

According to Zhenshuai, this catapult is different from the previous catapult. The previous one was a single-tip counterweight catapult, but now, after improvement, it has become a double-tip counterweight catapult.

The increase in gun tips means that it can bear greater weight and project larger and heavier stone bullets than before.

These enhanced stone bullets may not be powerful enough against a solid blue brick wall, but against Lucheng, a small city made of rammed earth, they can easily break through!

In addition to breaking the city, the commander-in-chief also came up with a trick that could greatly kill the defenders in the city and reduce the loss of his own side when entering the city and street fighting... Thinking so, Chen Yu shouted, "Light it up!"

Standing beside the catapult, the soldier holding the torch, after hearing the order, immediately stretched out his hand and touched the stone bullet with the torch.

In an instant, the thick stone bombs surrounded by inflammable materials burst into flames!

On the head of Lucheng City, seeing this scene, Xun Yucheng, who was already horrified, trembled all over!
Before, he was still wondering why there was a soldier holding a torch standing beside the catapult, but now, he understood!

So cruel!

"Let go!" Chen Yu shouted angrily.

"Bang bang bang!"

Amidst the loud noise, the incendiary stone bullets pierced through the air and flew towards Lucheng at high speed.

"Avoid!" Xun Yucheng hissed.

"Boom boom boom!" The stone bomb hit the top of the city and smashed into the city, causing the city wall to collapse, the mud to splash, and the city to be full of smoke.

Immediately afterwards, the barracks and buildings hit by the incendiary stone bombs all began to burn.

Today is dry and dry, and there are more or less flammable materials in these buildings, so the fire spreads.

Although many soldiers were not hit by the stone bullets and survived, they were touched by the flying sparks, ranging from burning holes in their clothes to burning half of their clothes, just like people on fire, running around screaming and howling.

The city was in chaos, but outside the city, the catapults made a loud bang, which did not stop, and the burning stone bombs continued to fly, and in an instant, the city of Lu was severely damaged.

Seeing the collapse of the city wall, when it was time to break in, many of Qin Yi's soldiers were gearing up and were very excited.

But Chen Yu didn't give the order, he had been ordered by Qin Yi, and it was not difficult to break through the city wall.

The difficulty was in the street fighting that followed. There were 13 enemy soldiers. If you wanted to wipe out the opponent in the alleys of the city, you would have to pay a high price.

Therefore, it is necessary to kill and injure the opponent's soldiers and horses as much as possible before street fighting.

And this depends on the catapult that projects incendiary bombs.

Chen Yu had already decided that he had to shoot all the hundreds of incendiary stone bombs that he had collected and rushed to make overnight before he could attack.

Under the continuous attack of the catapults, the city of Lu was covered by thick smoke and dust, and it was difficult to see the rammed earth city wall clearly.

It can only be seen faintly, the flames are constantly flickering, and some parts of the city have already ignited a raging fire.

Suddenly, the city gate opened wide, and a group of Lucheng guards rushed out, rushing towards Qin Yi's battle formation.

Among the former army, Chen Yu couldn't help sneering when he saw it. Sure enough, as the town commander expected, the enemy soldiers really left the city.

He immediately ordered, "Draw the bow and let the arrows go!"

The archers at the forefront of the battle line immediately drew the bowstring, and then let it go suddenly.

There was a loud whizzing sound, and arrows rained down on the guards of Lucheng.

In just one round, the enemy soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and many fell to the ground from arrows. The guards behind couldn't dodge in time and stepped on them.

In an instant, people turned their backs on their backs, and the guards in Lucheng were in a mess, but there were still many soldiers who kept walking, holding wooden shields, and charged rapidly.

At this time, Yi Ziying, who was guarding the flank, was dispatched!

The iron cavalry gradually accelerated, with a swift and violent charge, like a black tide rushing by, and a strong wind sweeping fallen leaves, killing the guards of Lu City to the corpses all over the field, no longer fighting power, they could only run away screaming.

In the city, beside the collapsed city wall, Xun Yucheng frantically dodged the stone bullets. Xun Yucheng was full of horror, but he did not expect that the counterattack would be thwarted.

He already understood that the law city... was going to be broken!

Hundreds of incendiary stone bombs have been cast, Lucheng is in a mess, the city wall is no longer intact, and there are tongues of flames everywhere. Chen Yu clenched his fists and shouted loudly, "Front army, charge!"

Qin Yi's soldiers, who had already been ready to go, immediately shouted and ran towards the dilapidated Lucheng!

Before Kangdu, the last city is about to be captured!

……

Prospecting Dynasty, Zhanjing.

In Miyagi, in the imperial study room, the empress sat at the head seat. On her beautiful face, she had a calm expression, seemingly carefree, but her red lips were lightly pursed, showing that she was unhappy.

Wu Xiang sat at the bottom, his tough face showed no expression, but his eyes were extremely deep, as if he was thinking about something.

At this moment, a general of the forbidden army rushed in and reported respectfully, "Your Majesty, under the command of the last general, Prince Jing has been found!"

Hearing this, the empress suddenly raised her head, "Where did you find it?"

"In the Yasheng Temple." The general of the forbidden army replied quickly.

The empress pursed her red lips when she heard the words, and scolded, "Rebellious ministers and thieves have the face to hide in Yasheng Temple."

Immediately, she said firmly, "Take this thief into the palace, and I will personally interrogate him!"

She wanted to see what had fooled this guy, and told him to let Prince An Yi do nothing and run to collude with the Chixinmen!

An hour later, the general of the Forbidden Army asked to see him, saying that he had brought King Jing here.

The empress and Wu Xiang had already arrived in the hall, and when they heard the report, the empress responded coldly, "Bring them into the hall!"

Several brave imperial guards dragged the tightly bound King Jing into the main hall.

At this moment, Prince Jing no longer had his usual demeanor, his face was pale, his beard and hair were disheveled, and his clothes were tattered. It could be seen that he had lived in a rather embarrassing situation before.

Entering the hall, he was held down by the imperial guards and knelt down on the ground. Prince Jing lowered his head, as if he did not dare to look at the Empress.

"Look up, look at me!" the Empress shouted coldly.

Prince Jing trembled for a moment before raising his head with difficulty. His eyes were flustered and desperate, and he looked at the Empress.

The empress asked coldly, "Tell me, how will I treat you?"

There was a flash of pain in Prince Jing's eyes, and then he said in a hoarse voice with difficulty, "Your Majesty treats me well..."

"Have you ever been aggrieved and unsatisfactory?" the empress asked again.

"Life is easy and comfortable, free from worries..." Prince Jing replied hoarsely.

"Then why did you collude with the Chixinmen, why did you betray our dynasty, and why did you become a silverfish on the verge of death?" the empress asked angrily.

Helplessness and pain appeared on Prince Jing's face, and after a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, "I am under the control of others, I have to obey orders..."

The empress asked angrily, "What is the reason?"

Prince Jing was full of hesitation. After a while, he became firm, and a trace of nostalgia and reluctance flashed in his eyes.

But in the end, all these expressions disappeared, he shook his head, and said in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty, the emperor has difficulties, and he has to do it, so please don't blame... In the next life, the emperor will do your best for you..."

Standing aside, Wu Xiang, who was silent, shrank his pupils when he heard this, and hurriedly shouted, "Stop him!"

The imperial guards were taken aback for a moment, not knowing what to stop, when they saw thick black blood suddenly flow out from the corner of Prince Jing's mouth, and their face turned livid.

Everyone was shocked, only then did they realize that Prince Jing had already taken poison!
The imperial guards hurriedly smacked the corners of King Jing's mouth, but it was too late. King Jing trembled all over his body, and his pupils turned white.

The empress was sullen, and hurriedly shouted, "Tell the imperial physician, heal him immediately!"

Prince Jing must die, but no more news has been pried out of him, how could he be allowed to die so easily!

Not long after, the imperial physician arrived, but at this moment, Prince Jing's whole body had turned pale, and he was stiff and motionless.

The imperial physician checked him a few times, shook his head, frowned and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Jing was poisoned and died."

After hearing this, the Empress pursed her red lips tightly, her bright eyes filled with anger.

This fellow is really a wolf with ambition, if he really felt guilty about Lin Zhan, why didn't he confide the whole thing before he died?
Now that the case has become like this, she is extremely passive, except for the death of a prince and the capture of more than 100 tiny officials, there is not much to gain.

She didn't even know the reason why Prince Jing colluded with Chixinmen, which made her extremely displeased, but there was nothing she could do.

At this moment, an eunuch walked into the hall and reported respectfully, "Your Majesty, King Mu is begging to see you."

The Empress was surprised, King Mu came here now, what's the matter?

Although she was puzzled, she still nodded and replied, "Acclaim him an audience."

Not long after, King Mu, who was wearing a python robe, walked quickly into the hall.

He didn't bow his hands to salute, but sank his body, knelt down in front of the empress, and said in a deep voice, "This minister is guilty, please punish him!"

After hearing this, the empress couldn't help wondering, "What's your crime?"

"During the investigation, I found that King Jing was suspected, but for some reason, I did not continue the investigation, which violated His Majesty's trust, so I came here and begged His Majesty to punish me!" King Mu said in a deep voice.

The Empress frowned when she heard the words, she was immediately displeased.

If King Jing had been captured earlier, perhaps today's scene would not have happened, and more news could have been known. King Mu was indeed at fault for this matter.

But the matter has come to this point, and it is impossible to continue the investigation, so the Empress intends to cover it up and not publicize it, so as not to make Lin Zhan a laughing stock.

But now, Lin Zhan has already killed one prince, and punishing another prince will inevitably arouse the suspicion of those who care about it, so although she is angry, the empress can only say coldly, "The matter is over, and I will not pursue it. There will be a next time, severe punishment!"

When King Mu heard this, he quickly bowed his head and said in a steady voice, "Thank you for your majesty's grace of not punishing me, this humble minister will surely embarrass your majesty!"
