Chapter 1829 How to deal with the sky-blasting cannon
Cheng Chumo shook his head. If he knew what was going on now, there would be no need to ask again at this time.
Cheng Chumo was actually very worried. He didn't want anything to happen to Zhao Chen, nor did he want his father to be infamy at this age.
The emperor sent an army of 100,000 troops. Although the two sides did not actually fight, wouldn't Cheng Yaojin and others be disobeying the emperor's order?
The reason why the emperor sent troops was because Zhao Chen disobeyed the imperial order and forged the imperial edict. Now his father also...
"Do you think His Majesty the Emperor will ruin the future of the Tang Dynasty for the so-called reason?" Cheng Yaojin suddenly spoke, leaving Cheng Chumo at a loss for a moment.
Does his father mean that the emperor still regards Zhao Chen as the future of the Tang Dynasty?
It is a great sin to forge an imperial edict if it is true.
How could the emperor...
"His Majesty is more sage than any emperor before him. Not to mention that His Highness is his son, even if he is not, how would you deal with His Highness based on the merits He has made for the Tang Dynasty? He will definitely be ridiculed by future generations."
"Father, you mean that His Majesty really has no intention of dealing with Zhao Da?" Cheng Yaojin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
But it feels a little unrealistic.
No matter how magnanimous the emperor is, he would probably find it unbearable for such a serious crime as forging an imperial edict, right?
"Of course, before sending out the troops, His Majesty gave me a secret message. All actions of the army will be subject to His Majesty's orders..."
"Because it was a secret order, even Wei Gong and the old Taoist priest did not tell them. It was not until they received news from His Highness before the two armies fought in Xincheng that they revealed the matter." Cheng Yaojin slowly explained to Cheng Chumo.
.
Cheng Chumo was dumbfounded.
"Dad, what you mean is that this is all a conspiracy between His Majesty and Zhao Da?" Cheng Chumo was stunned for a long time before slowly asking this question that already had an answer.
"Of course." Cheng Yaojin's tone was calm, but Cheng Chumo's ears were filled with unspeakable disbelief.
Zhao Chen didn't tell anyone about his plan with the emperor?
This sounds incredible.
And even if there is a slight mistake, it may cause unpredictable consequences.
"My child, you must believe in His Majesty's wisdom and the wisdom of the King of Han at all times."
"Go." Cheng Yaojin said and waved his hand, signaling Cheng Chumo to leave.
Cheng Chumo held his hands towards Cheng Yaojin, then turned around and left slowly.
…
In the government office not far away, Zhao Chen was discussing the next plan with Li Jing, Xu Maogong and others.
Zhao Chen sat on the main seat, Li Jing and Xu Maogong sat on the left and right, and the other generals stood on both sides.
Everyone's face showed a look of shock and anticipation.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, how could they believe that the 100,000 troops sent by the imperial court to conquer them were actually here to help them.
One hundred thousand troops entered the city, and together with the original one hundred thousand Tang Dynasty border troops, a full two hundred thousand troops were stationed in Rangcheng.
Not to mention that Yeon Gaesomun was defeated by Otsuka Yoshio of Japan today. Even Yeongaesomun’s Goguryeo army, plus the troops of Otsuka Yoshio of Japan and Baekje Lee Bomyeong, would have difficulty in attacking Yue Er.
Rangcheng was defended by 100,000 Tang Dynasty warriors.
Before, each of them was extremely worried, thinking about when Yangcheng would be breached.
It's better now, not at all
There is no need to worry.
"Your Highness, it seems that the Japanese army used sky-blasting cannons today. If they use them in the attack on the city tomorrow..." Xu Shiji spoke first.
Now based on their strength, they are not worried about the Japanese army, but in the hands of Japan's Otsuka Yoshio, they actually have a sky-blasting cannon that they only have in the Tang Dynasty.
Thinking of the terrifying destructive power of the sky-blasting cannon, everyone's backs felt a little chilly.
If Otsuka Yoshio has enough sky-blasting cannons, then no matter how many defenders there are in Rangcheng, it will probably be of no avail.
So now they had better find out how many sky-blasting cannons the Japanese have in their hands.
Or, they had to come up with a good way to avoid the Japanese bombardment attack.
But no matter which method is used, it seems that it cannot be realized so quickly.
Everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Chen. For a powerful weapon like the Sky-blasting Cannon, they only knew how to use it.
Others, nothing is known.
If there is a way, it can only be up to Zhao Chen himself.
But this sky-blasting cannon was developed just to destroy the enemy, so what other method could there be?
"We can't verify the number of sky-blasting cannons owned by Yoshio Otsuka this time, but they are definitely not too many, so you don't need to be too nervous." Zhao Chen said slowly.
But everyone's tension has not really diminished.
The power of the sky-blasting cannon is no joke, it really explodes into a large area and is simply beyond the power of human power.
If the Japanese army attacks the city tomorrow and they use the sky-blasting cannon, it will only take a few rounds and no one on the city wall will be able to stand.
"Your Highness, the power of the sky-blasting cannon is too strong. There must be siege weapons such as trebuchets on the opposite side. Once they throw the sky-blasting cannon into the city, then we..." A general looked embarrassed.
It was obvious that his heart was trembling when he thought of that terrible scene.
"Your Highness, is there really no other way?"
"Yes, if there is nothing we can do, my brothers may suffer heavy losses."
"I don't know who the bastard is who leaked weapons like the Sky Boom Cannon. If I knew who it was, I would kill his entire family."
"He is simply a sinner of the Tang Dynasty."
"That man really deserves to die!"
The generals were excited, but obviously it didn't mean anything.
Soon everyone has to return to reality.
But the reality is that it is still impossible to solve the Sky Bang Cannon matter.
But now they can only hope that the Japanese army does not have too many sky-blasting cannons, and that Otsuka Yoshio does not know how many Tang troops there are in Rangcheng at this moment.
However, this news cannot be kept secret for long.
Maybe Yoshio Otsuka will receive the news tonight.
"Everyone, let's go back and reorganize our troops first. I will inform you of the method tomorrow." Zhao Chen looked at everyone, waved his hand, and signaled everyone to leave.
Knowing that Zhao Chen had a solution, everyone's faces were immediately filled with joy.
After everyone left, Li Jing and Xu Shiji looked at Zhao Chen.
Xu Shiji was the first to ask: "Your Highness really has a way to deal with that sky-blasting cannon?"
Li Jing also looked over at this time, looking expectant and curious.
But what method could Zhao Chen have? The reason why he said this was just because he didn't want everyone to lose confidence. Cheng Chumo shook his head. If he knew what the situation was now, there was no need to ask again at this time.
Cheng Chumo was actually very worried. He didn't want anything to happen to Zhao Chen, nor did he want his father to be infamy at this age.
