The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 407 My Divine Might Shakes Heaven and Earth

The sky is blue and white clouds, the sun shines on the earth, and the haze of the past few days has been swept away.The reinforced city wall of Langya City appeared in front of Liu Bian's eyes. It could be seen that in order to hurry, the city wall was uneven everywhere, but its defensive power was not weakened at all.

Wang Fan ordered people to build up the city with stones, and he was about to fight the court to the end.Wang Qi had given in and handed over all the troops in his hands to Wang Fan, which gave Wang Fan confidence.After all, there are hundreds of artillery pieces and nearly 30 defenders in the city.

At this time, the rebels in the city had finished changing their outfits, and they were no longer a mob armed with hot and cold weapons.It's a mob all equipped with firearms, at least able to resist.

"The last general kowtows to His Majesty!"

"I'm waiting to meet your Majesty!"

At the temporary command post outside Langya City, all the generals have arrived.Waiting for Liu Bian's order, they had surrounded Langya from three sides, and there were more than 30 warships from the Bohai Navy and the Blackwater Protectorate at sea.

The war is about to start, and people are very excited. They know that the rebels in Qingzhou are about to be wiped out.Facing a rebel army with a similar number of people but much inferior equipment and training, if they cannot win, they will have no shame in surviving.

"Generals, we will launch a general attack in two hours. The artillery will use all its strength to destroy the city wall on the west side and feign attacks on three sides. General Li will lead the troops as the vanguard. Mr. Zhang will sit in the middle of the army and dispatch troops at any time." Liu Bian said loudly.

"Yes!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Liu Bian looked around for a week, and said, "The Wang family is rebellious, try to capture it alive. Try not to hurt the people. It's better to stay in Langya City. Go prepare!!!"

When Zhang Chenghua and the others left, Song Ran bowed and said, "Your Majesty, all members of the Kong family have been arrested. Kong Hongwen set himself on fire in fear of crime, and the rest of the Kong family were imprisoned in their ancestral land."

"Hmph! What a Confucian family, I treat them well, yet they dare to rebel. When the Wang family is captured, they will be sent to Linzi to be beheaded together!" Liu Bian said coldly.

Hearing Liu Bian's words, Song Ran took out an envelope from his bosom, "Your Majesty, Sanya has an urgent report from Chang'an."

Liu Bian reached out to take it, and when he opened it, he saw that it was Liu Hao's personal letter.

'Father, the emperor will start!
The sons and ministers have put down the rebellion in the Western Regions, the officials have been in place, and the people are all welcome.

However, most of the court officials were disciples of Confucianism. When they heard of the Confucian rebellion, they asked the court to change the edict of industrial reform.

The ministers, Prime Minister Zhang and various ministers had made clear the benefits of industrial reform, but the officials were still not convinced, and many people left with their seals, causing the court to temporarily run smoothly.

Fortunately, with the help of Wang Anshi and Wei Zheng, the imperial court has resumed operation, and there are a large number of aristocratic families in Guanzhong who want to organize people to rescue the Kong family.He was blocked at Hangu Pass and clashed with the defenders, and thousands of people have been arrested.

The Kong family was favored by the emperor, but now they are openly rebelling, which is really a traitor.The sons and ministers hope that their father will put down the Qingzhou rebellion as soon as possible and return to Chang'an to take charge of the overall situation. '

"Hehe, the prince and I are still embarrassed." Liu Bian put away the letter and said with a smile.

He turned his head and said to Song Ran: "Draw an edict, pass the order to the city, and release the troops to help Kong out of the gate. As long as they are out of the gate, no matter who they are, they will all show their heads to the public!"

"This..." Hearing Liu Bian's order, Song Ran's hands trembled slightly. As soon as this order is issued, Liu Bian will become an enemy of scholars in the world.

Kong Hongwen's death didn't end well, and just now he wanted to persuade Liu Bian not to rush to destroy Kong's family.Now he can't write any more, and he really can't afford to let Liu Bian bear the eternal infamy.

Seeing that Song Ran was hesitant to write, Liu Bian said: "There has to be someone who will be the villain. If the Kong family and the Liu family are against each other, one of them will definitely die. Hao'er will govern in the future and cannot bear this infamy, so let me take the responsibility." Bar!"

"Your Majesty!" Song Ran knelt on the ground and cried, "Your Majesty, just let me take people to exterminate the Kong family, and then kill me."

"You still can't bear the infamy, no one but me and Hao'er." Liu Bian said.

"Then don't touch them. Anyway, Kong Hongwen is dead, and killing Kong Weili and Kong Weilin will also suppress the world's powerful families." Song Ran said.

Liu Bian shook his head and said: "No, only by killing the Kong family and the Wang family can all the powerful families in the world be terrified. The imperial court's new education reform has already begun to bear fruit, and the officials sent to the Western Regions are our own students. I What's the use of these scholars? They can't farm or produce, but they can govern the big man well if they say "Wen Jue"?"

"Yes!" Song Ran nodded in agreement and leaned over to start writing the edict.

"boom boom"

"Da da da"

The sound of cannons and gunshots sounded, and the brutal siege began.The artillery of Langya's defenders was no less than that of Liu Bian's troops, and both sides suffered huge casualties within a moment.

The thickness of the city wall was far greater than expected, and the cannonballs were unable to blow it down. They could only shoot into the city.Suddenly, the city was filled with flames, and fires broke out in several places.

The troops preparing to attack the city outside the city were killed and injured nearly a thousand people by artillery fire. The two sides had already paid heavy casualties before the official battle.

This also indicates that Langya City will become a huge meat grinder in the future. Zhang Chenghua adjusted his strategy in time to bring the navy closer to the coast, and wanted to bombard Langya with the large-caliber artillery on board.

The guns on warships were larger and they carried more ammunition on board.After several rounds of bombardment, the rebels in Langya City were about to be bombed and collapsed.

At this moment, dozens of warships sailed from the south and fired at the warships of the official army.In desperation, the navy could only turn its guns to fight the rebel warships.

"Your Majesty, the Xuzhou rebel warships are here to help, and the navy can't continue to bombard Langya." Du Yu rushed to report to Liu Bian.

"What about on land? Are there any traces of the Xuzhou rebels?" Liu Bian asked.

Du Yu shook his head and said: "The scouts did not find any rebels coming for reinforcements."

"Okay, let the navy use all its strength to deal with the rebel warships. I will destroy Langya City!"

When Liu Bian came to the forward position, the soldiers around him saluted him one after another.Liu Bian pointed to Langya City in the distance and shouted: "Soldiers, attack with me!"

Turning his head, Liu Bian drew out the Longquan sword and rushed out of the trench first.Li Cunxiao and Zhang Pengjing followed closely behind him, and Zhang Pengjing held a large iron shield in his hand to protect Liu Bian, for fear that he would be hit by bullets.

Liu Bian grabbed the big shield and threw it towards the city wall with enough energy.The half-foot-long shield was inserted directly into the wall, and Zhang Pengjing and Li Cunxiao behind them looked at each other, their eyes full of horror.

Both of them are famous for their bravery, but they asked themselves, no one can be as brave as Liu Bian.Liu Bian suddenly exerted his strength to jump up, and when he jumped more than a foot high, he stepped on the big shield on the city wall and exerted his strength again, rushing to the city wall.

Li Cunxiao and Zhang Pengjing were shocked and hurriedly started to climb up the city wall.
