Rebirth of the Four Seas Emperor

The conflict between the Zheng family and the Ruan family has been around for a long time.

It cannot be said that everyone knows about it, there are many people who know the inside story.

After Hou Yao understood Ruan Huang's plan, he decided to take a gamble. The chance of winning was still very high.

In mid-November, with the assistance of Ruan Huang, the Bao'an Army quietly surrounded Thang Long City.

The Siamese army of [-] Bao'an troops and [-] Na Le Xuan besieged Thang Long City on all sides.

Since Yao's army also entered the city at the beginning, Yao Yuanzhou did not withdraw his troops from the city after entering the city. He did not expect that Hou Yao would take the blame now.

Zhou Tiesheng and Liu Chengfu arranged their siege troops on all sides and met Hou Yao together.

"Sir, when will we start attacking the city?"

Hou Yao took a telescope and looked at the scene at the top of Shenglong City. The main entrance where he was standing only had five cannons. It seemed that he had overestimated the strength of the Zheng family.

"There's no rush. Let's attack with artillery first. Let's use up all the shells we brought this time before attacking the city. The Yao family's army is still very strong."

The ammunition brought this time can be said to be very sufficient. It was originally intended to deal with Master Yu Xiuer, but now it had to be used on Yao Yuanzhou first.

There are [-] Zheng family troops and [-] Yao family troops in Shenglong City, totaling [-] troops.

It can be called a very strong force wherever it is placed. If you attack without enough consumption, you will probably suffer a lot of losses.

"Boom boom boom boom boom..."

Countless artillery fire suddenly sounded outside Shenglong City. At this time, there was no news at all in Shenglong City.

Ruan Huang watched the first three rounds of bombardment with Hou Yao, and his heart almost burst into joy.

The Great Xia Army was indeed terrifying. He had fought with this firepower all his life. Counting all the cannons he had ever seen, it was not as powerful as a round of artillery fire from this army.

There are not even as many cannons assigned to one city gate.

In order to facilitate portability, Hou Yao specially had a batch of light artillery built.

That is, a simplified version of the Tiger Cannon without such complicated lines.

The Hu Zun Cannon is the most primitive mortar. Each cannon only weighs more than 30 kilograms and is easy to carry.

This time he used all four artillery pieces, and thought that if the flintlock gun couldn't kill Fairy Biluo, then he would use cannon fire.

The artillery boss should be able to kill her. If she was as awesome as Dongfang Bubai in the movie, even the artillery fire wouldn't kill her.

Being killed by such a master, he could only accept it.

When making this plan, he repeatedly asked Wei Daxing to confirm whether the Grand Master could withstand a salvo of ten thousand flintlock guns.

Wei Daxing made it clear that the flintlock gun was already very powerful, and no master could resist it.

Hou Yao felt that Wei Daxing was too modest, so he brought four cannons with him just to be on the safe side. Unexpectedly, they came in handy.

……

In Shenglong City, Yao Yuanzhou was still discussing with Zheng Song the handover of King Ye.

"King Ping'an, when will King Ye come? I don't have much time to waste here."

Zheng Song said with a troubled face:

"Master Commander, you also know that King Ye is not in my hands. I have already sent people to ask Fairy Biluo for someone. But you also know who she is, and I am really helpless."

Yao Yuanzhou wished he could kill this annoying guy, but King Ye hadn't gotten it yet, so he could only endure it.

As for killing Zheng Song and going to Biluo Fairy to ask for someone, he doesn't have the courage to do so, even if his father is around.

What's more, a letter came from his hometown a few days ago, saying that Yao Xingyun was seriously injured and dying, and asked him and Yao Yingzhe to go back.

It's just that the situation waits for no one. In comparison, the family's century-old business is more important.

"When will there be news? I can't keep waiting indefinitely."

Zheng Song comforted him repeatedly:

"How is that possible? Please give me a few more days, my lord, the commander. I will definitely send the person to you."

King Ye was indeed in Xie Chunniang's hands, but Zheng Song didn't send anyone to get it at all.

Shenglong has been defeated anyway, and he still wants to use King Ye to blackmail the Yao family.

His idea was to delay for a while and wait until Yao Yuanzhou could no longer wait to let him spit out the territory he occupied in the north of Mo Chao.

Yao Yuanzhou snorted coldly and said: "Five days, I will give you five days at most. If you don't hand the person over to me, you will bear the consequences."

Zheng Song looked embarrassed and begged:

"Master Commander, five days is really not enough. You know Fairy Girl, how can she be so easy to talk to? How can I get someone if I can't serve him well?"

Yao Yuanzhou shook his head:

"I don't want to tangle with you anymore. If you have any requests, why don't you tell me openly and don't play any delaying tactics with me. My army has already defeated Guangxi. If King Ye can't appear in Guangxi within ten days, , it will cause a big mess, and then it will ruin my official affairs, and you cannot afford the consequences."

When Zheng Song saw that Yao Yuanzhou made his words clear and did not hide them, he immediately said:

"Yes...yes..., I will never dare to ruin the important matter of the commander. The territory in the north of the Mo family is all under your control. You see..."

Yao Yuanzhou said sarcastically:

"I helped you capture Shenglong, and also destroyed Mo Chao's army in the north. I killed and injured several officers and soldiers. Could it be that all their deaths were in vain? Do you think that King Ye alone can withstand such a heavy loss from me? "

Zheng Song said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Commander, is overly worried. How can I let Your Majesty, Commander, suffer a loss? In this way, how about I compensate you with a batch of money and food?"

Yao Yuanzhou's expression softened a lot: "Okay, let's do this. I don't want much, just 50 taels of silver and [-] stones of food and grass."

Zheng Song readily agreed: "Okay, thank you very much, Commander. In three days, at most, I will hand over King Ye to the Commander."

Anyway, he had just taken over the wealth accumulated by the Mo family for decades, so he didn't feel bad spending half of the compensation to the Yao family.

As for food, Annan lacks everything except food.

However, one hundred thousand stones is also very difficult for a small country, and it almost empties his granary.

The two families reached an agreement and were both satisfied. For Yao Yuanzhou, the small towns to the north of Mo Chao were so poor that it was of no use.

He still needed money and food. With such a large amount of compensation, most of his military expenditure gap was filled.

As long as Bao'an County is conquered and Hou Yao's industries that lay golden eggs are taken away, it will be no problem to recruit an army of millions.

"Okay, three days, three days..."

Yao Yuanzhou was high-spirited and was about to high-five and swear an oath of alliance with Zheng Song when he suddenly heard the earth-shattering sound of cannons.

"Boom boom boom boom boom..."

Yao Yuanzhou was shocked:

"What...what's going on? Where did the gunfire come from?"

Zheng Song also looked panicked and confused:

"I...I don't know, why...there is such a dense sound of artillery."

"Report..."

A panicked messenger rushed into Prince Zheng's mansion with a loud roar.

"Report... report to His Highness King Ping'an that the Da... Daxia army has surrounded Shenglong City from all sides, and has set up... many artillery pieces to bombard the city walls."

"what."

Zheng Song suddenly looked at Yao Yuanzhou with a look of shock and anger:

"You...how dare you..."

Yao Yuanzhou also looked confused, but in an instant he forced himself to calm down and said: "Calm down first. If it is my army, how can you be trapped in the city? What's more, my army has already entered the city, even if I want to To deal with you, we will launch an attack from within the city, and it is impossible to run outside the city. Let’s go out and see what’s going on.”

Zheng Song thought about it calmly. Yao Yuanzhou's troops were all in the city. If they really wanted to attack him, they should attack him from the city instead of firing artillery from outside the city.

"Boom boom boom boom boom..."

The power of four cannons is enough to scare everyone's courage.

No soldiers dared to stand on the top of Shenglong City, and Yao Yuanzhou and Zheng Song did not dare to go to the top of the city.

They just found a commanding height in a place in the city that would not be covered by artillery fire.

Yao Yuanzhou had a telescope and saw the situation outside the city through the telescope.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

But Yao Yuanzhou was more than startled, he jumped violently.

"Hou Yao's Bao'an Army? Why did the Bao'an Army appear in Thang Long City? Shouldn't he be in Myanmar?"

As he said that, he put down the telescope and stared at Zheng Song with a murderous expression on his face.

"Tens of thousands of troops have invaded the capital and you haven't received any news at all. What a waste."

Zheng Song looked confused:

"Lord Commander, whose army is this and what happened?"

Yao Yuanzhou handed the telescope to Zheng Song and roared:

"Those are the troops from Bao'an County, Guangzhou. They should have gone to Burma to put down the rebellion. Now they are here. It seems that they have put down the rebellion in Burma. From Burma to here, you didn't get any news in advance during such a long journey. , do you think you are a waste? See for yourself."

Zheng Song took the telescope and looked at the Chinese army tent at the main entrance.

I saw a high platform there, and a young man on it was looking at me with something similar to his own. He seemed to be waving to me.

Then he saw that standing next to the young man was Ruan Huang.

He immediately roared angrily: "Ruan Huang, it's you? Damn it, I shouldn't have been soft-hearted and left you such a disaster."

"I will go back to the military camp first. You should think about what to do now. When the bombardment is over, come to the military camp to find me."

Yao Yuanzhou ignored Zheng Song, grabbed the telescope and turned around to leave.

No one expected that the bombardment lasted for a full hour before finally stopping.

40.00% of Shengcheng's city walls have collapsed, and the entire city is basically in ruins.

It has become impossible to garrison in the city.

After lunch, the second round of shelling began again.

This time the cannon was much closer, and the entire city was within the range of the cannon.

People in the city have almost no way to escape except hiding underground.

This time the bombardment caused a devastating blow to Thang Long City.

During this period, Yao Yuanzhou broke through once, but unfortunately he was beaten back.

When it was getting dark at night, Yao Yuanzhou led his troops to break through again, but was still beaten back.

The next day, the shelling started again, causing numerous casualties among soldiers and civilians in Thang Long City.

On the third day, the bombardment continued and a white flag was raised in the city.

Hou Yao smiled slightly: "Huh, Yao Yuanzhou isn't that good either. He got it done so easily..."
