Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

"Bang, bang, bang"

Gunshots suddenly rang out, breaking the quiet night.

The weapons depot in the royal city of Goguryeo was suddenly attacked, and the soldiers who were caught off guard fell down.

"Enemy Attack, Enemy Attack"

Panic arose.

But Xue Rengui has already led people to surround this place.

Under the cover of guns, Xue Rengui and others advanced without pressure.

The soldiers defending here had no resistance at all and fell down one by one.

However, Xue Rengui obviously underestimated the enemy.

Just when he thought there was no pressure, gunfire that was different from their gunfire rang out.

That's the sound of a firecracker!
"Bang, bang, bang"

The Goguryeo soldiers in the weapons depot fought back with fire blunderbuss.

The security team who had no time to react was immediately hit by fire cannons.

"Be careful, find a place to hide!"

Xue Rengui shouted immediately.

As a result, the arsenal of weapons that he had just nearly captured was thrown away.

"Brother Xue, what's wrong, there is an army of ten thousand people coming this way, and a stick of incense will arrive soon!"

At this time, some scouts quickly returned to report the situation in other places.

"Damn it, bad luck!"

Xue Rengui cursed and said.

He carefully looked at the terrain of the weapons depot and made calculations in his mind.

The weapons depot did not use firecrackers in its initial defense, allowing him and others to quickly break through the perimeter.

Then he probably knew that he and others were using guns, so he returned to the weapons depot and took out the firecrackers without dying.

"First team, follow me, General!"

"Second team, don't save bullets, hit the door to death, cover us!"

Xue Rengui made a decision immediately.

He felt that there were not many defensive soldiers in the weapons depot, and there should not be many fire guns in it either.

Rush up, and under the cover of your own people, they will need to change bullets soon. Use this opportunity to counterattack, and the loss will not be too much.

There is no other way. If the stalemate continues, you will only suffer losses for yourself and others. After all, there are [-] Goguryeo soldiers coming in this direction.

"kill!"

After the arrangements were made, Xue Rengui led the team and rushed out.

The second detachment provided fire cover, and no soldiers dared to show their heads inside the weapons depot's gate.

Everything that was exposed was turned into a hornet's nest.

Under cover of fire, Xue Rengui and others quickly rushed to the door of the weapons depot.

Then Xue Rengui gestured towards the second detachment, and the second detachment's firepower suddenly stopped.

As soon as the fire stopped, the soldiers in the weapons depot immediately opened fire and poked their heads out.

However, at this time, Xue Rengui had already prepared the ignited explosives. When they opened the door and exposed the crack in the door, he threw the explosives in.

"Ah, it's dynamite!"

"Quick, run away, hide!"

But, the next moment, there was a banging sound.

The panic inside suddenly disappeared, not even the screams.

"Rush in with me!"

Xue Rengui looked hard and shouted loudly.

He was the first to rush in, his eyes as wide as gongs, looking for the soldiers who were still alive.

But in fact, no matter whether he was alive or dead, as long as he found someone, he would not hesitate to shoot again.

"The first team will replenish their guns, and the second team will place explosives. Hurry!"

Xue Rengui continued to make arrangements.

Soon, the explosives brought by the security team were planted next to the weapons.

Most of the weapons of this era were made of soft iron and copper, and the explosion of a large amount of explosives would melt it a little or destroy its straightness.

Not long after, the security team deployed explosives and quickly retreated.

After Xue Rengui and others left, the [-] soldiers who rushed here finally arrived.

But at this moment, there was a roar and a shocking explosion in the weapons depot.

The next moment, the entire weapons depot collapsed in front of tens of thousands of soldiers.

"Tang dog!!!"

The leader noticed the corpse lying on the ground and couldn't help roaring angrily.

There is no doubt that they are from the Tang Dynasty. Only people from the Tang Dynasty have weapons more powerful than fire guns.

"General, General Lu asked you to report."

At this time, a soldier came over and whispered beside the general.

"If you don't have time, just say that the weapons depot has been destroyed. This general will investigate with all his strength!"

The general's eyes were ferocious and terrifying, and he said coldly.

The soldiers didn't dare to say anything nonsense and left quickly.

"Leave 2000 people to clear the scene and take any weapons found that can be used."

"The rest, follow this general to the palace. The time has come to rescue the king, and the opportunity has come to make you a marquis and a general."

The general said in a deep voice.

He has received a secret order from Gao Tianzhi.

People who come to the weapons depot at night are to call weapons.

But unexpectedly, someone arrived early and blew up the weapons depot.

This made him immediately feel that the king's order was not simple. There must be an invasion by the Tang army or something else.

After all, today, Fang Yuan, who once made Goguryeo uneasy, arrived again.

Although he changed from the Minister of Hubu to the Minister of Hubu, he still should not be underestimated.

This was also the reason why he dared to reject Lu Tingmei's father.

The army moved forward in two groups and quickly headed to the palace.

Before anyone arrived, bursts of gunfire were heard.

"Quick, support!"

"Even if you die, I will fight for this general!"

The general was shocked and issued a death order.

They don't have weapons now, but even if they did, it would still be the same.

Facing powerful weapons like firecrackers, only bows and arrows can barely have any effect.

The other swords are useless, as if they are just decorations.

"Damn, how did they get here so fast?!"

When Xue Rengui heard the movement, his expression suddenly changed.

He immediately organized his team and shot at the rushing soldiers in batches, while another group continued to attack the city.

But when he saw the reinforcements rushing over desperately, with the front falling and the back still rushing over, and slowly approaching, Xue Rengui knew that this was not going to work.

"retreat!"

Only retreat.

Otherwise, they will die as soon as the bullets are fired.

Soon, Xue Rengui led the people away, as if fighting a guerrilla war.

The general walked out from the soldiers, his face was terrifyingly cold, and he looked at the corpse on the ground without saying a word for a long time.

"Hand-picked corpses!"

The general said in a deep voice.

"Report, 360 people died!"

Soon, the death toll was reported.

After hearing the death hand, the general's body trembled and he almost lost his balance.

In just a short period of time, 360 people were lost. Datang's weapons were too terrifying.

Faced with such weapons, Goguryeo really had no chance of winning, and was just meat on the chopping board.

This feeling of powerlessness caused the general to clench his fists tightly and dig his nails into his flesh without realizing it. He only felt cold all over his body.

"General?!"

the lieutenant shouted softly.

"Clean up the scene, move the dead soldiers aside, and check their identities at dawn tomorrow."

"Guards of the palace, listen. I am talking about Qingchang. I have been ordered by Your Majesty to lead troops to support you. Please open the city gate!"

Tan Qingchang shouted to the guards on the royal city.

After their identity was confirmed, Tan Qingchang and the soldiers he brought entered the palace.

Inside the palace.

More and more people entered the palace.Gao Tianzhi's search scope became increasingly narrow.

This also proves that Fang Yuan and others have less and less space to seize.

"Just now, I heard gunfire from the direction of the palace entrance, but it's gone now."

"But there has been no change in our search, which shows that Xue Rengui and others failed to break in."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

The security team brought 150 people, and Xu Changjin brought 450 people, totaling [-] people.

450 people all have guns that do not need to be replaced every time, and the overall strength should be more than a few thousand troops.

But even so, the royal city was still not captured. It was probably because Gao Tianzhi sent reinforcements that Xue Rengui had to retreat.

"How to do?"

Lu Tingmei said calmly.

Since Fang Yuan's people couldn't enter the palace, then his father definitely couldn't enter either.

Gao Tianzhi is about to kill himself, so he can't summon his own father into the palace, right?

Even if he is summoned to the palace, he is summoned alone, and he is summoned just to kill his father.

"Let me think about it!"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

However, before Fang Yuan could think of a way, they were discovered.

"Here, found, they are here!"

I don’t know whose voice it is.

But soon, many footsteps came here.

In just a moment, Fang Yuan and others will be surrounded.

"Go, this way!"

Fang Yuan pulled Du Miaoyan and walked towards a palace.

Du Miaoyan was injured and her body was obviously much weaker.

Xue Bowu's injury was more serious and he felt a little heavy when walking.

Under such heavy pressure, Fang Yuan had to consider the plan of not escaping for the time being.

So, he had a bold idea in his mind and pulled Du Miaoyan towards a palace.

"Why did you enter the palace? Isn't this a desperate retreat?"

Lu Tingmei exclaimed.

But with soldiers chasing behind her, she could only keep up with Fang Yuan.

"Go in?"

Soon, Gao Tianzhi also arrived.

He learned that Fang Yuan and others entered the palace.

All exits to the palace are now blocked, and someone is searching inside.

After all, it is a palace, and each palace is quite large, so it will take some time to find someone.

"Back to Your Majesty, my subordinates saw them entering with their own eyes."

A soldier answered.

It was the soldier who discovered Fang Yuan and others.

Not only him, but also many people saw Fang Yuan and others entering inside.

"Very good, big reward!"

Gao Tianzhi was very happy and strode into the palace.

The palace is not small, even after Gao Tianzhi came in, Fang Yuan and others have not been found.

However, at this moment, Fang Yuan and others took the initiative to show up.

"Gao Tianzhi, I want to know why you want to assassinate me?"

Fang Yuan appeared, holding a torch in his hand and said loudly.

Du Miaoyan and others also appeared, but they were a little far away from Fang Yuan, looking at Fang Yuan with worried eyes.

"Fang Yuan!!!"

Gao Tianzhi's mood suddenly sank to the bottom.

He hated Fang Yuan for more than a day or two, not to mention that today he also knew that Fang Yuan made his woman pregnant with his seed.

After the words fell, the soldiers who were searching the palace rushed here, but none of them came forward to arrest Fang Yuan because Gao Tianzhi did not give the order.

"Don't tell me?"

Fang Yuan frowned slightly, a little disappointed.

"I am the King of Goguryeo, how can I be controlled by a foreign minister like you?"

"You also want my territory of Goguryeo to be your fiefdom and your spring and autumn gate."

"Take it!"

Gao Tianzhi struggled for a moment, then almost roared.

Before he ascended the throne, he could accept Fang Yuan's control, cooperate with Fang Yuan, and even obey everything Fang Yuan did.

However, after becoming the king of Goguryeo and becoming the supreme leader of this country, it is impossible to be subordinate to others.

No one, not even Li Shimin, the Heavenly Khan of the Tang Dynasty, can really control himself.

If Fang Yuan does not come to Goguryeo, then Gao Tianzhi will think that his relationship with Fang Yuan is gone.

But Fang Yuan still came, and he asked about his fiefdom. Isn't that asking for death?
After saying this, the soldiers present surrounded Fang Yuan and others.

"Hahaha Gao Tianzhi, I won't be insulted by you even if I die."

Fang Yuan suddenly laughed.

He threw the torch in his hand towards the curtain.

With a pop, the curtain immediately caught fire, and the fire was very strong.

In an instant, the soldiers' path forward was blocked and they were unable to move forward.

"Husband!"

"Fang Yuan!"

Du Miaoyan and Lu Tingmei shouted sweetly.

This was Fang Yuan's plan, to sacrifice himself to save a few of them.

"Ha, self-immolation?!"

Gao Tianzhi was stunned and looked at Fang Yuan playfully.

He did not order to move on, but stared at Fang Yuan.

It would be a pleasure to watch Fang Yuan being burned alive like this.

Soon, thick smoke rose, the fire became more intense, and the palace beams began to catch fire.

Fang Yuan and Gao Tianzhi looked at each other, neither of them moved even half a step away, while Du Miaoyan, Lu Tingmei and Xue Bowu were all controlled.

As for Lu Tingmei's initial helpers, they were asked to disperse to find their own way of survival as early as when they were fleeing.

After all, it's impossible to escape with so many people fleeing at the same time, it will only make it easier to be discovered.

"Your Majesty, it's time to leave. If you don't leave, you will be in danger."

Tan Qingchang has entered the palace and is now next to Gao Tianzhi.

Seeing the fire getting bigger and bigger, he had to think about Gao Tianzhi's safety.

I have to leave. I'm afraid something will happen later. After all, the beams may fall down and I won't be able to get out of the palace.

"Fang Yuan!!!"

Gao Tianzhi squinted his eyes and stared at Fang Yuan.

The two were not far apart, but there was a raging fire between them.

Fang Yuan was already surrounded by fire, but it did not burn him. This made Gao Tianzhi speechless, even if he wanted to see Fang Yuan burned by the fire with his own eyes.

Finally, after repeated persuasion by Tan Qingchang and others, Gao Tianzhi reluctantly left the palace, and Du Miaoyan and others were also taken out by him.

Gao Tianzhi thought about leaving Du Miaoyan and others here to die in the fire together, but he felt it was not suitable.

Du Miaoyan is a stunning beauty. Although she is covered in blood and has many minor injuries, she will become a stunning beauty once she recovers for a period of time. His harem lacks such women.

As for Lu Tingmei, she is still the queen and her father has not been arrested yet, so he cannot do anything to Lu Tingmei for the time being.

As for Xue Bowu, he was brought along casually.

"Keep an eye on this palace, as if no one is dead, strike again!"

Gao Tianzhi said in a deep voice.

He looked at the raging fire and felt that Fang Yuan was doomed.

But he had to worry that Fang Yuan would not die if he was lucky.

So keep someone here, just in case.

"Yes."

Tan Qingchang responded respectfully and immediately arranged for manpower to guard all directions.

"Continue to look for Princess Gao Xiangyu. She is crazy and left with my prince."

"Be careful, don't let Gao Xiangyu hurt the prince."

Gao Tianzhi arranged again.

He wanted to catch Gao Xiangyu, catch the evil son, and strangle him to death with his own hands in front of Lu Tingmei.
