Because Ningcheng is already very close to Weizhou, news about the front line was quickly passed on by the scouts at the front with almost no gaps.
Everyone originally thought that Li Zhen's army would arrive at the gates of Ningcheng in a matter of days at most.
But no one expected that Li Zhen, who had traveled smoothly all the way, would encounter a nearly fatal ambush in Weizhou!
This was perhaps the only resistance Li Zhen encountered in the process of gathering an army and rushing thousands of miles away! But it was this plotted resistance that almost killed Li Zhen on the spot.
The cause of the incident was that Sima Jingyuan of Weizhou and Ruan Nanzhu, the governor of Weizhou, pretended to be flattering after the army arrived. Just like the previous cities they encountered on the road to Li Zhen, they opened the gates early and offered the city to surrender!
And because Li Zhen's journey was so smooth, he didn't even doubt his presence!
Therefore, he only sent a vanguard force that day, inspected the city, and found that there was no ambush in the city, so he accepted the surrender of the two men with confidence, and began to enter the city surrounded by countless sergeants.
As a result, a sudden change occurred just as Li Zhen’s carriage entered the city!
That day, I saw Li Zhen's carriage crossing the moat and slowly walking to the gate with the three characters "Weizhou City" engraved on it.
Jing Yuan, who was originally standing aside, suddenly opened his eyes angrily and yelled, "Get rid of the thieves for the country now!"
And accompanied by his violent roar!
Everyone present was stunned. Even the war horse pulling the carriage seemed to be aware of the danger. He stopped uneasily and looked around anxiously.
It's quiet all around!
There were no assassins wearing black scarves coming out, and there were no volleys of arrows. The surroundings were quiet, and nothing strange appeared!
Just when everyone in shock and confusion turned their attention to Jing Yuan, several rebel generals who were close to him pressed their hands on the hilts of their swords, trying to rush forward.
in their heads
When it was lifted, there was suddenly a slight cracking sound.
The sound is very slight, but extremely clear!
"what sound?"
Everyone who heard this movement subconsciously wanted to raise their heads and look above their heads!
However, before they could even raise their heads, they heard a loud "bang"! A black shadow as huge as a city gate struck with countless sparks, and crashed down like a meteor!
"No! It's the Dragon Breaking Stone!"
The eyes of those who saw this scene were astonishing! They opened their mouths wide and wanted to shout something, but in the end, no sound came out!
The Dragon-Breaking Stone! Why didn’t they expect that there was such a deadly thing hanging above their heads!
Broken Dragon Stone, also known as Sealing Stone!
When many cities in the Tang Dynasty were first built, skilled craftsmen would hang it in the city gate hole, clamp it with copper pins around it, and connect it to the mechanism. In an emergency, it could be dropped directly and the city gate would be firmly stuck.
Cut off the attacker's path of advance.
However, although this stone is common, no one has ever thought that this stone can not only seal the city gate, but also be used as a weapon! An indestructible weapon!
Time seems to have stopped at this moment!
Amid everyone's dull gazes, this boulder weighing several thousand kilograms hit Li Zhen's car heavily! The countless smoke and dust it brought up instantly filled the entire city gate!
"Hahaha! I live up to my sacred mandate!"
Amid the billowing smoke and dust, Weizhou Sima Jingyuan and Weizhou Governor Ruan Nanzhu looked up to the sky and smiled!
They already knew that they would die today!
But before death,
They are satisfied with being able to kill bandits and repay their kindness!
It's chaos, it's a complete chaos here at the city gate!
After being stunned for a moment, countless agile figures flashed out from all over the army and rushed towards Li Zhen's carriage like flying!
In the chaos, no one thought to take care of Jing Yuan and the two who were laughing.
"King of Heaven!"
"Master!"
There was so much smoke in the city gate that it was impossible to see anything! Seeing this, someone with a high level of martial arts immediately fluttered his robes and blew away the dust and smoke!
And when the smoke gradually dispersed, several horses that had been smashed into mud were revealed first!
The Dragon-Breaking Stone, which was as huge as a city gate, for some unknown reason, had fallen down at this time, and one end of it was leaning on the horses, completely crushing the horses, as well as the horsemen who drove them, into a pulp.
The ground was full of splattered blood, as well as scattered pieces of internal organs! It was even hard to tell whether they were human or horse internal organs. They were still squirming slightly on the ground, making people's scalp numb.
!
When everyone suppressed the discomfort in their chests and looked back along the remains of the war horse, they were shocked to discover
In that impression, the carriage that was supposed to be smashed into pieces of paper was now severely deformed, with all the wheels and accessories reduced to dust!
But the seemingly thin carriage still held up the other end of the Broken Dragon Stone and never fell.
"How can this be!"
As their eyes swept over this horrifying scene, Jing Yuan and Ruan Nanzhu's laughter suddenly stopped!
Two old men over fifty years old stared at the dilapidated carriage together, their eyes full of shock and disbelief, as if they didn't believe what they were seeing!
This, how is this possible!
They are very aware of the weight of this dragon-breaking stone on top of the city gate!
Not to mention anything else, this stone alone weighs a thousand kilograms! If the force of falling from top to bottom is added, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a force of ten thousand kilograms!
Under this kind of force, let alone a thin carriage, even a huge boulder should be smashed into powder!
But how could it be held up!
For a moment, it was silent again at the city gate!
At this time, it was not just Jing Yuan and Ruan Nanzhu! Everyone present was staring at the miraculous scene in front of them, completely forgetting what they should do.
Until, until in the carriage, Li Zhen said in a slightly trembling voice, "Why are you still standing there? Save me!"
"ah!"
In a word, it's like releasing the mute button!
The surrounding soldiers and generals suddenly woke up as if from a dream, and rushed forward with exclaims, holding them with their hands and pushing them with their shoulders, trying to move the boulder away.
However, under the huge boulder, their efforts are destined to be in vain!
Not only did the broken dragon stone that pressed against the carriage show no signs of moving, but the carriage that was pressed down was trembling slightly, letting out bursts of heart-wrenching groans, as if it might be completely destroyed at any time.
Collapse!
"Don't move around!" The traitor general who noticed something was wrong shouted angrily, "Quick, move the rocks first and prop up the Dragon Breaking Stone!"
"Yes! Hold on to the Dragon Breaking Stone first!"
After hearing this, the others suddenly woke up and rushed out immediately. After a while, they brought in countless blue stones and placed them one by one under the Broken Dragon Stone.
When the Dragon-Breaking Stone was completely supported by the moved bluestone, others used thick ropes to pull the carriage, and then dozens of people worked together to pull the carriage out from under the Dragon-Breaking Stone!
