Chapter 1187 Who eats whole grains and eats white rice

The first ray of sunshine in the winter morning is shining on the smoky area. There was a breeze blowing, and the thick smoke gradually dispersed, and the city wall of Tongcheng in the distance could be seen as far as the eye could see.

But, can that city still be called a city? The soldiers of Dashun looked at the opposite side quietly. The entire city wall had collapsed, and there was a watchtower standing there alone. But just as they took a look, the watchtower had completed its final mission and fell down with a bang. go down. From this direction, Tongcheng is in ruins, and the houses near the city wall are also damaged. Some people were buried under the rubble in their sleep, still breathing, struggling to die.

A large number of landmine explosions caused an earthquake, shaking the entire city of Tongcheng beyond recognition. Countless people gathered at the gate of the city, looking towards the opposite side for no apparent reason. There is a cloud of smoke as far as the eye can see, and the smell of gunpowder is strong and pungent. There are Zong Sui soldiers maintaining order in the damaged city gate. At the same time, they are also thankful that the person who guarded the city last night was not himself, otherwise it would be like a brick. His bones, limbs and broken bodies.

As soldiers of the Zong Sui Dynasty, they failed to die on the battlefield, but fell to their death from their own city wall. This way of dying made them feel particularly aggrieved. But why did the city wall suddenly collapse? What happened to the sudden loud noise in the middle of the night?

Someone said: "It's the thunder of Dashun! Only the thunder of Dashun can make such a sound, and only the thunder of Dashun can blow up the city wall. It is the people of Dashun who attacked the city! They After slaughtering Jiancheng, they are finally coming to slaughter our Tongcheng city!"

Such words aroused the panic of the people, and also aroused the anger of the people of the Zong Sui Dynasty. Some people said: "Whether Zong Sui is good or bad, this is our own land, and he will not be allowed to invade Dashun!"

Some people said: "As a vassal state, Zong Sui pays tribute every year, isn't that enough? I heard that Dashun attacked and occupied the whole Erqianzhou, forced the emperor of Qianzhou to death, and also attacked Gushu. It's only when you leave half of the country. Are you going to seize Zong Sui again now? How much appetite do they have?"

However, some people also put forward different opinions: "Did the Dashun people really bomb it? But we clearly saw that the place where the explosion happened was just outside the city wall, and there was a five-mile defense line over there? It is said that it was the Lord Duanmu Anguo who was there There are traps set up underground, just to capture the Dashun people in one fell swoop when they come to attack, and the five miles are guarded by his own soldiers, and the guards are strict, can the Dashun people attack if they say they want to attack?"

"That's right!" Different opinions were raised, and people immediately began to analyze, "If the large-scale explosion was done by Dashun people, it would be fine if they bombed the city. Why bomb so much land?"

People regained their senses little by little, and those Zong Sui soldiers were also questioned: "You are guarding the city, what did you see last night? What is buried under the five miles of ground?"

General Zong Sui shook his head helplessly: "We used to take turns defending the city, but since Lord Duanmu came, we were not allowed to defend the city anymore. Now, the guards have been replaced by his own soldiers. So, we really don't know how to set up what happened outside the city, and the organs in Wulidi."

Saying this, the doubts of the people became even more serious, "Now that the bombing is over and the city walls are gone, what about the people of Dashun? Why don't the people of Dashun come to attack?"

As soon as this question was asked, someone shouted: "Look at the other side! Quickly look at the other side! Are those people from Dashun in the dark?"

People followed the sound, but saw the thick smoke gradually dissipating, and the endless army far away could be seen in their eyes. The people of Tongcheng gasped, thinking that it wasn't the Dashun Army? It turned out that the people of Dashun were really coming to capture Tongcheng. But why are they only standing five miles away? The bombing is over, hurry up and fight!

The people of Tongcheng looked at the Dashun Army, and the Dashun Army also looked at the people of Tongcheng. Gradually, the people of Tongcheng came to a realization. Someone boldly put forward a point of view: "It was probably not the Dashun Army who bombed the city that day. In my opinion, it might have been the Lord Duanmu Anguo. The Wuli agency, his agency is Tianlei, right? He sent Tianlei It was buried five miles underground, and then just last night, it exploded."

Everyone was in an uproar.

"But why did Duanmu Anguo blow up his side? Is he full?"

"Maybe it was accidentally triggered?"

"No, no! What do you mean by your own side? That Duanmu Anguo originally came from Dashun, he is not from our Zong Sui at all!"

"Could it be that all of this is a trap? Is it the result of cooperation between Duanmu Anguo and the Dashun Army?"

The people of Tongcheng were outraged, and the guess about the big bang has since become what they think is the most reasonable guess. So someone took the lead to capture Duanmu Anguo alive, and someone shouted loudly: "Duanmu Anguo lives in the cellar. I saw him flee when the earthquake happened yesterday. He is in the south of the city!"

At the same time, all the people in Tongcheng rushed towards the south of the city, shouting slogans such as "capture Duanmu Anguo alive" and "let Duanmu Anguo be buried with the dead people in Tongcheng" to vent their anger. Even those Zong Sui soldiers were anxious, because among the dead and injured were their relatives. So they went to look for Duanmu Anguo together, not only in the south of the city, but also in every corner of Tongcheng, just to find the old thief Duanmu.

Every move on their side has not escaped the eyes of Dashun people. Under Xuan Tianming's order, Dashun's army has rushed into the five-mile minefield that has been blown up. rushed in.

At this time, Duanmu Anguo was also extremely embarrassed. Originally, some subordinates told him that Dashun's Seventh Prince and Princess Yu had entered the minefield. He was so happy that he uttered aloud, and immediately sent a magic shot to the city wall, desperately trying to detonate the minefield to kill Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianhua inside. Although it was a pity not to blow up Xuan Tianming, the weight of Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianhua was enough to make his heart move.

But he didn't expect that the explosion in the five-mile minefield would be so shocking, and the ground motion caused by it caused the underground chamber where he was hiding to collapse, and he had to flee in embarrassment. Finally escaped the quake for half a night, but at this moment another subordinate came to report: "My lord, the Ninth Prince of Dashun has rushed into the city with an army! My subordinates saw that nearly half of them were carrying That kind of thing called a gun, there are still many people holding sky mines."

Duanmu Anguo laughed loudly, and said: "Good time! They have guns, so do we! They have mines, and we still have them in stock. Go and gather troops, and we will meet the Ninth Prince in Tongcheng to see who is right? His sky thunder is powerful, but mine is stronger!"

However, before he was happy for a while, he heard his subordinates say: "My lord, we can't gather anymore. Our troops were killed and wounded at the west city gate last night, and 20,000 brothers who were stationed on the western defense line were killed by Dashun when they retreated." Outflanked and wiped out the entire army. In addition, the brothers at the Dongcheng Gate, Nancheng Gate, and Beicheng Gate were controlled by the former defenders of Tongcheng. The brothers with guns in their hands heard that Dashun's Royal Concubine and the Seventh Prince entered the thunderstorm. After the district, I went to the west of the city to meet him, but... I met Dashun's Shenji Battalion, and no one came back except for his subordinates." He said helplessly as he handed an empty pistol to the In front of Duanmu Anguo, "My lord, this subordinate came back desperately to tell you that the guns in our hands... seem to be different from those held by the people of Dashun. Theirs... are much better than ours." △ ≧△≧△≧△≧

"What?" Duanmu Anguo was astonished. He never expected that a battle that he was confident of winning would end up like this in the end. Of his 100,000 personal soldiers, 20,000 were wiped out! Only one person with guns and sky mines came back! The soldiers at the west gate actually died under their own thunder! And...he stared at the gun handed over by his subordinates, isn't it the same as Dashun's? Dashun's is better than his? "You tell me clearly, what's the advantage?" He no longer cared about asking how many troops were left, and the difference in guns made him deeply fearful. He originally thought that this kind of heaven-defying thing was hard to find in the world, and it happened that Feng Yuheng had it and he had it, so it must be the same, but he didn't expect that other people's was actually better than his.

The subordinate didn't know what was good about it. After thinking for a long time, he just said: "Their shots shoot farther than ours, they hit faster, and they look much stronger than ours." Think again, sum up He said, "It's like we eat whole grains, but they eat white rice."

This is really an appropriate metaphor. Before Duanmu Anguo had time to carefully analyze the essential difference between coarse grains and white rice, his subordinates said again: "My lord, consider evacuating! This battle cannot be fought, we don't need to risk our lives for a Zong Sui superior."

Duanmu Anguo was old after all, he didn't hold back for a while, and coughed loudly. He wanted to survive, but he really wanted to fight a good battle with Xuan Tianming, he had been hiding for too long, even if he tried to recharge his energy, he would not be able to save it for a few more years at his age. What's more, the comparison of coarse grains and white rice made him suddenly understand that his so-called dormancy for so many years, his so-called adventure, and the sky thunder he possessed were so vulnerable to Dashun.

He was not reconciled, but the facts were in front of him. The sound of the Dashun army rushing in could already be heard, and countless Zong Sui people clamored to capture him, the traitor, alive. Duanmu Anguo finally made up his mind, nodded and said: "Okay! Call the rest of the people and evacuate!"

At the east gate of the city, there is a safe passage that he specially reserved, which only they themselves know. It's a pity that after finally reaching the gate of the city, he remembered that the guards at the east gate had been replaced by his own soldiers and replaced by Zong Sui soldiers who had been stationed in Tongcheng. He felt a little cold in his heart, but he still bite the bullet and shouted at the group of soldiers: "Kaicheng! This general is going out of the city!"

"Hey!" A strange voice rose from nowhere, "Lord Duanmu, since you are already Zong Sui's great general, you have to look like a great general. If the enemy invades, you don't lead the army to respond to the enemy." , where is this going?"
