With two loud bangs, the city gate of the Pyu Kingdom's capital collapsed. It was really the time when they could no longer hold on. Even if Chang Sunze and the others did not come out, the city gate would probably be knocked down after two more charges.
But the general's men didn't know that after seeing the powerful weapons of the Tang Dynasty, these people had only one thought: Fortunately, our general has established a connection with the Tang Dynasty army, otherwise we would have to face such an enemy, and tens of thousands of soldiers would die at their hands. We don't want to risk our own heads to try, the price is too high.
The defenders on the city wall had never seen this kind of weapon. When the city gate collapsed, they had no time to think about it, because General Mipeng's army had surrounded it from all sides, and thousands of people were ready to charge directly in from here.
"The rest is up to you. We'll just give you some help at the critical moment. As for how to fight, we won't interfere. Also, take these boxes of stuff. I'll teach you how to use the stuff inside..."
After Chang Sunze blew up the city gate, he came to the side of the general. General Mi Peng wanted to say some polite words, but who knew that Chang Sunze, it took us no time to get here. Speed is the essence of war. What's the point of saying all this nonsense?
"Is this the fire bottle your army uses?"
As soon as the general saw this thing, he immediately understood what was going on.
Originally, Li Xiang had prepared some for the war elephant troops, but the war elephant troops did not show up, so he asked Chang Sun Ze to give it to General Mi Peng. There were four large boxes in total, with only about a hundred bottles in each box. It was estimated that they could be used up in one war.
"If that's the case, then I won't hand it over to you. Hurry and distribute it to your soldiers. You don't have many people, and there are said to be more than 10,000 troops in the city. If you don't use some special tools, I'm afraid you won't be able to break into the imperial city."
Chang Sun Ze patted the shoulder of General Mipeng, then left with his men. How you fight is your business. You can't expect us to fight alongside you. If that's the case, then why do we give you food every day? We might as well fight on our own.
The Tang army came and went without a trace. Many people had not yet reacted when Chang Sun Ze disappeared. They rubbed their eyes. If it were not for the boxes of fire bottles in front of them, they would not have believed that the Tang army had ever been here.
"What are you still standing there for? Is this the time for you to be standing there? Quickly have your soldiers divide these things up. If you encounter an enemy army and cannot defeat them, use this cloth strip to light a torch and throw it towards the area where the enemy is most concentrated."
The general instructed his generals and explained the usage instructions several times to make sure that they remembered them. Then he asked them to take the weapons and distribute them to the lower levels. If they kept them all with him, they would be of no use. Now the Tang army has helped you open the city gate. If you still can't achieve any results, there is no need to waste food. Food is so expensive these days.
The news of the west gate being breached immediately reached the palace. The King of Pyu didn't know what to say except cursing. He could only order the chief guard of the royal city to send people to hold out and to wipe out the rebels at all costs, otherwise they would be driven out.
The armies of both sides soon engaged in battle. At the beginning, it was only near the west gate. However, with the firing of fire bottles, the army that joined the Pyu Kingdom court could not hold on at all. They fought and retreated, and at this moment they had withdrawn from the range of the west gate.
Everyone originally thought that the Royal City Guards were very strong, but after fighting for a while, they found that they only looked strong in normal times. If they really fought on the battlefield, these people might not be able to do it. Don't look at them dressed in fine clothes, but most of them are sons of nobles and have never been on the battlefield. It's okay to hunt in front of noble ladies, but if it is a real battlefield with swords and swords, five out of ten of these guys will wet their pants.
Seeing how quickly the royal city guards retreated, General Mipeng became excited. After mounting his warhorse, he personally led his men to charge towards the royal city. They were unstoppable along the way and soon arrived at the foot of the imperial city.
After hearing about this, the troops in other areas of the city hurriedly dropped their weapons. Although the King of Pyu was good to us, going to rescue him at this time would mean death. What's more, the mortal enemy of General Mibong's family was here. Could you defeat him?
Furthermore, many people were under General Mithong. When the general's family members were beheaded, they also heard the news. They had already received favors from the general, and now the general's family members were about to be beheaded. Not to mention going to save them, they dared not even say a word, and felt guilty in their hearts.
If we go over tonight and confront the general, would we still be human? We would be no better than animals. So these people simply hid in the houses of the people and see if they can get their gold, silver and valuables out of the city tomorrow. In short, we don't care about the affairs of the country.
Except for the more than 3,000 guards of Wang Cheng who retreated, the rest of the people disappeared directly in the entire capital. Some of them left the city at night, and some hid directly in people's houses. In short, they didn't care about anything.
The King of Pyu was so angry that he was screaming in the royal city. He wanted to kill all the generals in front of him. I clearly told you to take the army to the west gate to drive out the rebels, so how could you be driven back by the rebels?
No one knew what to say to the king's doubtful subordinates. Although the army in the royal city looked capable, it was actually not capable at all. It would be a miracle if everyone could resist under such circumstances. What's more, you are unpopular in what you do and you want to kill people's families at any time.
People are fighting for you on the front line, and you kill their entire family behind the scenes. How can this be justified?
The King of Pyu looked around and saw that none of the other court ministers around him had come in. In fact, he had already issued an order for all court officials to bring their families to the royal city. Where are these people now?
When the West Gate was breached, everyone had their own judgment. You have lost control of the entire city. If we take our families to the Imperial City, wouldn't that make us your diehards? How will General Mipeng deal with your diehards? Is there any need to think about it?
