Chapter 2736 The collapse will collapse, won't it, won't it
Li Shimin looked at his confident son Li Ke and wanted to complain, but he couldn't.
He could only continue to brace himself and look forward. After Cheng Sanlang ran more than thirty steps, he heard a muffled bang.
An orange-red flame suddenly appeared from the mouth of the seemingly round metal bucket directly in front of it.
What followed was the thick smoke swirling around, directly covering the flying thunder cannon.
What emerged from the mouth of the barrel was not only flames and thick smoke, but also fleeting black spots.
Everyone's attention followed the black dot involuntarily, watching it fly towards the palace.
Cheng Chubi also stared at the small black dot nervously, praying that he could aim more accurately, and it would be best to hit the palace gate with one shot and blow it open directly.
In this way, Wu Bi of the Tang Dynasty, who was sharpening his sword outside the palace and eager to try, could also break into Ziwei Palace, suppress the rebellion and capture the false emperor.
The rebels on top of the city also looked at the small black dots curiously, flying high and then falling slowly.
After passing through everyone's sight, it fell directly into the doorway where the palace door was...
Immediately, a bright light that could blind people's eyes flashed, causing everyone to subconsciously squint their eyes.
Then, there was a violent and exaggerated explosion, which instantly swept in all directions.
Everyone present felt as if their eardrums had been stabbed viciously with a pickle, and the pain was so painful that they made them frown.
Cheng Chubi, who covered his ears with his hands in time, stared at the palace door and saw the thick smoke billowing there.
As for the rebels on the top of the city, they were already on their backs and fell into pieces. Even the continuous sound of war drums from before suddenly stopped, as if they were frightened.
Li Shimin and others also grinned and rubbed their ears, staring at the palace gate.
After the gunpowder smoke gradually became thinner, everyone saw it, maybe directly through the door opening, and saw the scenery inside the palace.
Li Shimin's face suddenly showed excitement. He had just raised his arm and was about to call on the brave soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to break into the palace.
Click...a very dull sound, but it was a clear cracking sound that could be clearly heard by the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty present.
At this time, the sharp-eyed Emperor of the Tang Dynasty's eyes suddenly bulged.
He actually saw a crack appearing right at the city gate, slowly but firmly extending in all directions.
"Ah, this..." Cheng Chubi stared blankly at the exaggerated crack, and a series of sounds like exploding beans came from his ears.
At this moment, Cheng Chubi suddenly heard Li Ke's urgent and panicked phone call not far behind him.
"Crooked! Crooked! Crooked!..."
"What are you kidding about?" Cheng Chubi turned his head and glared at Li Ke unhappily.
But Li Ke's eyes were staring straight at Miyagi in front of him, and he was still mumbling in a calm manner.
"Crooked, it's really crooked! Look quickly."
Cheng Chubi turned his head, his eyes suddenly widened in an exaggerated way, and he fell into a big hole!
At this moment, the palace gate tower that was originally as stable as Mount Tai, standing on the palace wall, actually started to tilt.
The tiles on the gatehouse, as well as various debris, were falling to one side frequently.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Sanlang immediately got angry and his face turned pale instantly.
"That's not right. I just blew up the palace gate. What do you mean by the palace gate tower? It's a porcelain affair?!"
As the palace gate tower tilted and there were more and more cracks in the palace wall, the rising dust gradually completely covered the entire area around the palace gate.
Under the city, thousands of Tang Dynasty elites, civil and military officials, as well as the Tang emperor and his son, all stared at the scene in front of them dumbfounded.
Soon, from the banging sound of pieces falling, to the end, there was a sound like a huge stone hitting the ground. They were far away, but everyone subconsciously took a few steps back.
"Collapse... it's all collapsed... No way, no way, brother Chu Bi."
"Brother Chu Bi, you actually blew up the palace with one shot."
"Don't call me, don't talk nonsense, I didn't, it's not me."
Cheng Chubi denied it subconsciously, staring straight ahead. The evil door of Zhente's mother was simply opening the door for her son. The evil door was so deep.
Even the sugar content of this nitrated explosive with a different formula makes it more powerful than that batch.
But I don’t know how powerful it is, right? Even if the twelve flying thunder cannons just fired together, they couldn’t produce such an effect, okay?
General Cheng looked at the palace with disbelief, which was completely shrouded in smoke and dust, and was still rumbling, and couldn't help but take a breath with toothache.
"Is it possible that that kid had a trick up his sleeve when he attacked the city gate just now?"
Li Ji, who made this suggestion, was in a state of confusion at the moment, and with a pale expression, he crazily elbowed Cheng Yaojin beside him.
"Lao Cheng, your third child... what does he want to do? Why don't you stop him quickly?"
"That thing will be over after it explodes. Who the hell knew it would be like this..."
#####
The exaggerated expression of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty gradually calmed down. At this moment, his face was drawn, and he was stuck in place with emotion.
He looked straight at the smoke and dust covering the palace, which was getting wider and wider, and listened to the frequent collapse sounds.
Every loud cracking sound and falling sound would make Li Shimin's face twitch and his heart hurt.
Why is I so stupid? Really... Can you still not know who that boy Cheng Sanlang is?
Look now, look in front of you, the diffuse billowing smoke gradually disperses, and what is revealed is not the still majestic palace walls and gates, but the contiguous ruins.
The bricks, tiles, stone and wood completely collapsed to the ground, and a flagpole stretched diagonally toward the sky, like a very broken chess flag, with the words "Great Prime Minister" still left on it.
Those rebels who fled far away on the palace wall, or the elite Guanzhong and Zuotun guards standing in the distance below the city.
Or maybe the important officials of the Tang Dynasty from the Pure Clothes Sect and the Dirty Clothes Sect, as well as a bunch of other idle people, all silently stared at the ruins in front of them with their mouths closed.
At this time, everyone was standing, not knowing how to speak to break the deadlock.
After all, everyone's minds were a little confused. Even Li Shimin, who had given the order, didn't know what kind of expression he should put on at this moment. He smiled happily and kindly and nodded frequently.
We should still pick up a big stick and drive this evil moth Cheng Sanlang from Luoyang to Chang'an.
I saw His Majesty's gaze and that stiff, expressionless face.
Cheng Chubi's heart suddenly rang with alarm bells...
