Chapter 1153: Conquering Qunu City
Chapter 1153: Conquering Qunu City
In early summer in April, the sun in India is already scorching.
Aloholisha, the ambitious man who relied on military force to become the new king of Central India, was sitting on the throne at this time, listening to the generals below reporting to him the news that the King of Chu was approaching with his army.
"With only five or six thousand people, you dare to attack the city? It's ridiculous!" Arohelisha, who had ordered the blockade of the entire city yesterday to prepare for the enemy, now regretted it: it was not that he underestimated the King of Chu, but he did not understand - with such a small number of people, how could the other side have the confidence to capture the Qunu City where there were 80,000 elite soldiers stationed.
"Your Majesty, do not underestimate the enemy!" As the general of the kingdom, Jiayimo felt that he had to give the new king who had just succeeded to the throne some advice about the King of Chu: "My friend has been to Tibet and heard the story of the King of Chu - a teenager, he defeated the Eastern and Western Turks who were powerful enough to destroy our Central India, and since then the entire Western Regions had to bow down to him.
We should treat such a warrior with great caution even if he only brings 800 men with him."
"Then tell me, how should we deal with this matter?" Arhalisa pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze to Gaimā: "I will give you all the troops defending the city. Are you sure you can take the head of the Tang King of Chu for me?"
"Your Majesty... this..." Upon hearing this, Gaima was stunned at first, but then he knelt on one knee with a solemn expression and expressed his determination to Alorissa: "I dare not say that I can definitely accomplish this for Your Majesty, but I can guarantee it with my life. Kusumapura... will definitely be safe in this battle. Lord Shiva will protect us!"
"Lord Shiva..." At this moment, Arohorisa's eyes were dark and mysterious: "God of Destruction...how can you protect us..."
No one could answer the question he raised at this moment. Knowing that he had said the wrong thing, Gaimo opened his lips, but finally chose to keep silent.
For some things, the more you explain, the more mistakes you make, so it’s better not to explain.
The next day, early in the morning.
His Royal Highness the King of Chu ate cherries and sang songs as he arrived at his loyal Qunu City with his troops.
“Your Highness, look—” On the plain three miles outside Qunu City, Master Jiexian pointed at the neatly stacked boulders on the top of Qunu City and the crossbowmen hiding behind the parapets, and said solemnly: “These Indians are so well prepared. If we attack head-on, I’m afraid… there will be a lot of casualties.”
"Master, you are a monk, you are only responsible for saving the souls of the dead and comforting the people after the war. As for other issues, you don't have to worry about them, they are the projects that I am responsible for." After saying this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu fed the remaining cherries in his hand to his mount Black Evil. Then he glanced at Zhang Zhenxuan who was guarding in front of him on the left: "Zhenxuan, the weather is fine today, you——"
"Is it sunny?" Zhang Zhenxuan raised his eyebrows when he heard that, and then an idea moved his mind.
In an instant, the sky suddenly became gloomy, and dark clouds piled up above Qunu City.
"Ouch...what are you doing?!" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu originally wanted to say, today is a fine day, so you don't need to bother showing off your grenade skills.
have to……
I haven't even finished speaking when you've already installed it.
"Your Highness, this is not just my achievement." Zhang Zhenxuan knows his own business. He alone cannot achieve the scene of "words come true" in front of him - Taoist Li Chunfeng, who was silent in the back, also made great efforts for this.
"Uh..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu turned around upon hearing this and found that Li Chunfeng was holding a whisk in one hand and chanting Taoist techniques with the other, and gave him a shy smile.
"..." Seeing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu suddenly tilted his head and said to Yuan Tiangang, who had come up to him at some point and was taking cherries out of the cloth bag on his waist: "Gangzi, I have an opinion on you doing this."
"Your Highness, I am very low-key." Yuan Tiangang said low-key while blatantly robbing the cherries of the master of the family: "You know me, if there is really something...how can I not go?"
"That's the truth..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu nodded when he heard it, and at the same time used his eyes to direct Aya, who was already getting angry, to come over and help.
"Master... forget it..." Although Aya felt sad that the cherries she picked with her own hands were eaten by Taoist Yuan, her little donkey was too stubborn. Whenever it got close to the master's mount, it would bite the other's butt.
This is so inappropriate in public, isn't it?
"Miss Aya, you don't have to be so nice to His Highness." Taoist Yuan ate the cherries picked by the little girl, and of course he did not forget to expose His Highness the King of Chu to repay his debt: "Many times... this woman is more reserved, then-"
"Boom!"
Yuan Tiangang was halfway through his words when a bolt of green lightning came crashing down from the sky, creating a blank area on the top of Qunu City.
"Look at Zhenxuan!" At that time, His Royal Highness the King of Chu was furious and was about to kill his son. However, after Zhenxuan's "calm" reminder, he immediately decided to wait until he took over Qunu City and then "clean up the mess".
So, after a brief rebuke, His Royal Highness the King of Chu drew the sword from his waist and pointed it directly at Qunu City: "My lords, we have crossed the snow-capped mountains and the plains to come here. 'Since we have seen it, we should conquer it'!
God has now placed the opportunity for you to achieve great things. How can you miss it?
Soldiers, hold your swords tightly and follow me as I charge!"
"kill!"
Chi Yang, as a Tubo minister who had followed His Royal Highness the King of Chu all the way and won countless times with ease, now knew that it was time for him to work hard for His Royal Highness the King of Chu.
So he immediately led his 3,000 elite Tibetan troops and rushed towards Qunu City with a fearless spirit.
However, he missed one point.
That was the original intention of His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu to bring them here, to move treasures, not to use them as a suicide squad.
Therefore, at the moment when these Tibetan cavalry launched the charge, hundreds of majestic figures covered in full armor suddenly appeared only three hundred steps away from Qunu City.
The Paulownia wood cannon that was once used by His Royal Highness the King of Chu for experiments might be barely usable for attacking a city, but if it was just used to blast open the gate of Qunu City, it would be enough.
The black-clad warriors moved quickly. After carrying the Paulownia cannon and facing the arrows, they rushed to a distance of about 150 meters from the gate of Qunu City...
Crouch and set up the gun.
"boom!"
"Bang bang bang..."
Amidst the dense artillery fire, countless shells smashed into the gate of Qunu City. In just ten breaths, the tall and sturdy city gate was turned into countless pieces under the power of gunpowder.
Qunu City was broken!
(Happy Dragon Boat Festival to everyone!)
