The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 764 Breaking Jinghai City

Although the city gate couldn't mutate, the Tianhua army didn't stand still for it.The artillery immediately shifted its target and bombarded the city defense equipment at the head of the city, destroying its counterattack force, while the rest of the soldiers and horses were assembling the ladder with all their strength.

The artillery at the head of Jinghai city is not as far as the Tianhua artillery, and its accuracy is not as good as one point or two.After firing a shot in vain, he couldn't even reach the opponent's position.And Tianhua's artillery directly hit the top of the city.But in a short while, several artillery pieces were knocked down, and parts rolled to the ground.

An hour later, hundreds of ladders were all built.The artillery at the top of the city was basically destroyed, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses attacked Jinghai City.Explosive crossbows, mortars, and crossbows advanced in sequence, suppressing the counterattack of the city head layer by layer.The Haizhou defenders were immediately suppressed under the battlements, not daring to raise their heads.

At this time, the sword and shield soldiers carried the ladder, held the shield in one hand, and charged towards the city wall.A cloud ladder was erected on the wall, and countless soldiers and horses immediately climbed up.

At the same time, all kinds of long-range attacks had to stop, and only the crossbowmen stood under the city, aiming at any defenders who dared to show up.

Without the bombing of various long-range weapons, the defenders immediately launched a counterattack, facing the stream arrows shot from below the city, and continuously threw explosive packages to the city.

With the sound of huge explosions, the Tianhua army fell to the ground.When the gunpowder smoke cleared, the fallen soldiers got up again in twos and threes and continued to climb towards the ladder.When approaching the top of the city, the Tianhua Army immediately threw grenades one after another continuously towards the top of the city, causing an explosion.After clearing the defenders at the top of the city, Tianhua soldiers quickly climbed up to the top of the city, raised their hands and threw a grenade at the swarming defenders.

"Boom!" The defenders who were avoiding it fell down immediately, and the offensive was immediately slowed down.

As more and more Tianhua army rushed to the top of the city, and formed a formation at the top of the city, they began to press down on the defenders, constantly strangling each other.The situation in Jinghai City quickly turned into a one-sided massacre. These defenders did not have much combat experience, and they collapsed under the orderly siege of Tianhua's elite troops.

Not long after, the Tianhua army completely occupied the top of the city and drove the defenders into the city.The debris at the city gate was removed, and then the army swarmed in and entered the city.

At this time, Gu Baichuan had already stood on the viewing platform and watched the entire process of the Tianhua Army's attack on the city.At this time, countless Tianhua troops poured into the city, and the situation of Jinghai City was over, and there was no room for recovery.He couldn't help but looked up to the sky and sighed, "Tianhua's soldiers and horses are elite, and their weapons are sharp. Who else in this world can stop them?"

Now that the general situation is over, Gu Baichuan has no plans to die in the city. As a nobleman, he must take into account the interests of the family, not personal honor or disgrace.

Soon, under Gu Baichuan's order, the remaining defenders finally gave up their resistance and surrendered to the Tianhua army.

Gu Baichuan led all the officials in Haizhou, and the emperor who had been treated as a puppet, kneeling outside the palace hall to welcome the arrival of Emperor Tianhua.

Soon, as the city gave up resistance, the Tianhua army quickly took control of the whole city.Lin Yifan immediately led a large group of people to the front of the palace.

"Gu Baichuan, the criminal minister, and all the ministers of Haizhou, bow down to Your Majesty!" Gu Baichuan bowed to Lin Yifan tremblingly, and said tremblingly: "The criminal minister vainly tried to offend His Majesty Tianwei with weapons. Your majesty has committed a crime, and the guilty minister is willing to accept it."

Lin Yifan looked at him coldly, "Gu Baichuan, dare to attack and kill me when I return from the Eastern Expedition. If I let you succeed, do you know what the consequences will be?"

"Civil servants shall be punished with death! Criminal ministers shall be punished with death!" Gu Baichuan was sweating profusely on his face, lying on the ground trembling, kowtowing continuously, leaving a puddle of blood on the ground.

"Hmph, Gu Baichuan, do you think I won't hold the Gu family accountable for all the crimes here?" Lin Yifan snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty, this is a big mistake made by the guilty minister in a moment of confusion. He knows that death is inevitable, but the guilty minister is willing to take the crime and make meritorious service. My son Xiong'an still has 20 soldiers under his command. The guilty minister is willing to order him to surrender to Tianhua , and even turned around to attack the Cao family, just begging His Majesty to spare the Gu family." Gu Baichuan begged bitterly.

Lin Yifan couldn't help hesitating when he heard that.As Gu Baichuan said, if he could persuade the 20 troops of the Gu family to surrender, they would be able to take Jinzhou in one fell swoop, and turn to besiege the Cao family, and the Central Plains would be unified in a short time.

"You, can you really persuade your son to give up resistance?" Lin Yifan looked at him coldly.

"The criminal minister's remaining prestige is still there, and the dog will definitely obey." Gu Baichuan was overjoyed and quickly promised.

Only then did Lin Yifan nod his head, "Okay, if you can persuade your son to surrender, I will not care about your plot to frame me. The Gu family, I will not kill them all. This is my promise, can you believe it?"

"Your Majesty's reputation is well-known throughout the world, and the guilty minister can feel at ease." Gu Baichuan immediately bowed down and thanked him.

Just when Lin Yifan was about to walk towards the main hall, he saw a fat man crawling over and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Xiao Wang is the uncle of the noble concubine, please forgive Xiao Wang for the sake of your mother's love." Bar."

"You are?" Lin Yifan looked at the chubby fat man next to him in astonishment, and couldn't help frowning. "The puppet emperor held up by the Gu family in Haizhou?"

"Your Majesty is wise and wise. The little king is a descendant of the distant branch of the Tianwu imperial family and the descendant of the Dingnan king of Haizhou." The fat man said with a flattering smile, "It was not Xiaowang's original intention to be coerced by the thief Gu to become the emperor. The debt has its owner, and all of this was instigated by Gu Thief."

Gu Baichuan stared at him sullenly, wishing he could strangle him to death at this time.

But the fat man couldn't take care of that much anymore, he immediately babbled about his helplessness and bitterness, and from time to time he brought out Yunyang's signboard, implying his closeness to Yunyang.After all, it was nothing more than hope that Lin Yifan could forgive him, so as not to become a scapegoat.

Lin Yifan was already a little impatient to hear this, and he had no scruples about this puppet emperor.At most, it would be enough to demote him to a commoner, but at this moment, he heard that he was constantly dating relatives here, and he immediately felt disgusted, and immediately instructed his subordinates to arrest him and lock him up with the old Dongyang emperor.If you can talk like this, let's chat with the old Dongyang Emperor.

As for Gu Baichuan and others, Lin Yifan naturally would not let them go, and had them imprisoned immediately.Occupying Jinghai City, the 4-day Huajun immediately dispatched [-] horses to sweep the counties and counties of Haizhou.With Gu Baichuan's cooperation, most of the cities opened their doors and surrendered without any thought of resistance.As for the other stubborn cities, they soon fell under the onslaught of the Tianhua Army.

Just when Gu Baichuan wrote a letter home and sent it to the Jinzhou battlefield by the Tianhua Army.The Tianhua Navy, which had been marching westward along the Qingping River, finally reached the Jinzhou River section, defeated a part of the navy stationed here in one fell swoop, and completely blocked the way for the Haizhou Army to go south.
