Seeing the enemy troops retreating, the palace guards were all very happy.
At this time, the guard commander arrived, expressionless, and said loudly: "It's too early to be happy now, because the latest news is that the Royal City Guards have defected to Cui Mingyu and are now attacking the palace."
Suddenly, there was silence on the city wall.
The palace guards guard the palace and King Yeongliu. They are the most trusted by King Yeongliu and are the elite soldiers of the entire Goguryeo, but their number is not too large.
The Royal City Guard is the army that guards the entire Royal City.
Fighting alone, the Royal City Guards are no match for the Palace Guards, but...the Royal City Guards have twice the number of Palace Guards, and they also have siege equipment.
As if to confirm the commander's words, someone saw torches appearing on the street in the distance.
An army has arrived under the high wall of the palace.
…
…
Under the high wall of the palace, the leader is Cui Mingyu, and behind him are Cui Enshun and Gao Ming.
Cui's bodyguards, plus the Royal City Guards, numbered over a thousand people, a mighty force.
These thousand people, placed in the Tang Dynasty, would be just a bunch of chickens and dogs.
But in the small Goguryeo, it was already an amazing army.
Cui Mingyu looked at the city wall.
Standing at the front of the city wall was King Rongliu.
Cui Mingyu urged his horse forward and said loudly: "King Rongliu, when you came to the throne, I, the Cui family, helped you with all my strength. Now, you have betrayed your trust..."
The words are not finished yet.
King Rongliu on the city wall waved his hand.
Swish swish swish.
Swish swish swish.
Countless arrows rained down from above.
Cui Mingyu turned around and ran away.
"ah……"
"ah……"
Many of the rebels were shot dead.
Cui Mingyu's face was cold and he gritted his teeth.
He hid behind several soldiers and said bitterly: "I originally wanted to give King Rongliu another chance, but I never thought that he had already decided to kill me, Cui. How could this be unreasonable... Humph, kill!"
The rebels began to attack the city.
The war is about to break out.
The rebels are coming with force.
The palace guards resisted desperately.
For a moment, they were stuck together.
Seeing that half an hour had passed and the palace had not been captured, Cui Mingyu became anxious. He turned back to Gao Ming: "General Gao, I'm afraid King Rongliu has notified the defenders outside the city, and we don't have much time left."
, if we can't take down the palace again, I'm afraid we will be attacked from both sides."
Gao Ming's face turned ugly, "Prime Minister, the brothers in the guards have tried their best. The palace guards are all brave and good at fighting. King Rongliu is also in charge, and the fighting power is even stronger. I'm afraid... we won't be able to capture them for a while."
.”
Cui Mingyu felt a little uncomfortable, "This...what should I do?"
On the side, Cui Enshun suddenly stood up and said, "Dad, I have an idea."
"Eunshun, tell me quickly!"
Cui Enshun said: "Dad, I plan to use cannons to attack the city. I saw Du He demonstrate the power of cannons with my own eyes. A palace wall like the royal palace only needs one cannonball to blast a huge gap. When the time comes,
, we can fight in."
"Okay, Enshun, bring the cannon quickly."
Cui Enshun turned around and ordered: "Bring my cannon quickly."
A moment of effort.
The cannon has arrived.
A steel monster appeared in front of everyone.
Gao Ming doubted: "Can this thing really be used to attack a city?"
Cui Enshun rolled his eyes and said: "This thing is a cannon. It was invented by Du He, the smartest man in the Tang Dynasty. I have seen it with my own eyes. General Gao, please stay away, I am about to fire it."
Everyone else get out of the way.
Cui Enshun stepped forward personally and started playing with it.
The cannon firing technology was given to him by Du He.
He loaded the cannonball into it, then took out a fire pin and lit the fuse.
Rustling.
From behind the cannon, a burst of smoke came.
boom.
The ground trembled.
Everyone saw a burst of fire erupting from the muzzle and something flying out.
Then there was a deafening roar.
When I looked again, the area above the palace wall was hazy.
Then, countless stones, bricks, and wood flew everywhere.
After a while.
There used to be a small building above the palace wall, but it has disappeared now.
Also disappearing together was King Rongliu and others.
Not far away, there was a bloody corpse, which was the commander of the palace guard.
Everyone was stunned.
Is this a cannon?
This is too incredible.
From such a distance, it can actually blow up people.
Cui Mingyu said in surprise: "This... Enshun, is this a cannon? Your decision is right. King Rongliu proclaimed himself emperor, which will definitely make the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty unhappy. If the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty sends dozens of cannons
, then I, Goguryeo, will definitely be doomed. Eunshun, you see, although King Yeongryu is dead, the palace wall is still there. You can fire another shot to open the palace wall and let people rush in!"
Cui Enshun looked embarrassed and shook his head: "Dad, I only have one cannonball."
Cui Mingyu "..."
…
not far away.
Xu Zhengdao and Guishen looked surprised.
The ghost said in surprise: "Cui Enshun actually used cannonballs."
Xu Zhengdao slapped his thigh and said: "It's over. We originally wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife. We wanted King Ronliu to kill the Cui family. Who would have thought that the Cui family would kill King Rongliu. If the Cui family gets the throne, then we will just
I can run away."
The ghost suddenly remembered something and said: "Zhengdao, I remember that the young master said that he gave Cui Enshun a cannon to use to intimidate King Yeongliu, but he was worried that Goguryeo would let craftsmen study it, so the cannon was made
His hands and feet were damaged and he could only fire one cannonball, and then the internal mechanism was damaged. What do you think would happen if we gave Cui Eunshun a cannonball?"
"Huh? But we don't have any artillery shells..."
Xu Zhengdao narrowed his eyes slightly, then turned around and ordered: "Quickly, send Cui Enshun an explosive pack."
The ghost's eyes suddenly widened, "Zhengdao, what are your plans?"
Xu Zhengdao chuckled: "Since we are here, let's do something big."
…
The entrance to the palace.
Cui Mingyu was about to ask Gao Ming to organize his troops to re-enter the palace.
At this time, someone suddenly ran over and shouted: "Prime Minister, Dream Group sent someone to send a cannonball."
Cui Mingyu looked curious.
Cui Enshun said happily: "The Dream Group must have known that we rebelled. They now have a cooperation agreement with the Cui family. If the Cui family is finished, their life will not be easy. They may be eradicated by King Rongliu. Xu Zhengdao must be hoping
Our Cui family has won the throne, hurry, bring the cannonballs."
Not long after, a cannon appeared in front of Cui Enshun.
Cui Enshun discovered that this run was different from the round one before. It was oval, and the outside was not iron, but seemed to be cloth.
But he only hesitated for a moment.
Because, this thing looks very similar to a cannonball.
He loaded the shell into it and lit the fuse.
Sure enough, it was exactly the same as the previous cannonball firing.
Cui Enshun turned around and said: "Dad, General Gao, come here quickly. This shell is very powerful, but after it flies out, there is no danger here..."
Cui Mingyu and Gao Ming were very curious about this cannon, so they quickly came over and stared wide-eyed for fear of missing every detail of the launch.
The people around him also gathered around with curiosity.
