After Liu Mingzhi himself and his generals climbed onto the city wall, he no longer had any doubts that Qiao Loushan was deliberately pretending to surrender!
The situation on the city wall is so miserable.
It would be an exaggeration to say that the place was covered in blood and flesh and corpses were everywhere, and that it was a hell on earth.
Qiao Loushan didn't seem to have thought, or in other words, no one had thought that Liu Mingzhi would have a cannon in his hand, a powerful weapon that was like thunder coming to the world.
Liu Mingzhi always likes to unite his troops to attack the city in one place, and never separate his troops to attack the city. In contrast, except for the 30,000 defenders at the east gate and Qiao Tower who are good at guarding the city, he leaves 2,000 soldiers at each gate in case of emergencies.
On the east wall, they prepared to resist the siege of the Western Expeditionary Army and waited for the arrival of reinforcements.
Qiao Loushan made a wrong move in front of the artillery. The power of the current artillery was not enough to have such a large lethality, and even the lethality of the shells was also limited.
However, the wrong shells were fired by mistake and all landed on the densely populated east wall. The result can be imagined.
After the artillery fire, coupled with the successive attacks of eight-oxen crossbows and catapults, Jani City completely fell!
Just ten bursts of explosive shells fired by fifty cannons killed as many as 2,000 defenders on the east city wall. The number of people who were hit by the iron beads in the shells was already countless.
More of the guards were bleeding to death from their seven orifices. Liu Mingzhi knew that his heart was injured when the explosive bomb exploded, and he bled to death from his seven orifices.
The power of artillery is definitely not as weak as it is shown in movies and TV dramas.
Liu Dashao himself did not have an intuitive understanding of the power of artillery, because it was also his first time to use artillery to attack a city.
The only ones who know how powerful the artillery is are the guards in Janni City.
The densely packed corpses on the city wall are the best explanation.
Song Qing silently looked at the ruins on the city wall in a daze. He did not expect that the power of the cannon could be so terrifying, and he could take down Jani City without a single soldier.
What's more, the guards of Janni City and Qiaolou Shancong were frightened from the inside out. They didn't know how long this thunder-like thing would last before it ended, and they had to leave the city to surrender.
There is no fool who can be the leader of a country. Using the flesh and blood of the people to resist such mysterious and unpredictable things is tantamount to losing their lives in vain.
At this point, Loulan Kingdom has been included in Dalong’s territory!
"Jiang Lei!"
"The end is here!"
"Clean the battlefield!"
"Got the order!"
"Come with me and go to Loulan Palace to see it!"
"Got the order!"
"Commander!"
"What's wrong?"
Liu Mingzhi turned around and looked at Song Qing's embarrassed expression, somewhat confused. He suddenly realized it when he saw Song Qing couldn't help but look at the artillery mounted on the bullock cart slowly entering the city.
"Go on, be careful not to let the cannonball see the open flame, you know the consequences!"
"Yes, don't worry, Commander, anyone who dares to mess with these cannons will be beaten to death!"
"Commander, let's accompany Vice General Song to guard the cannon. What if some blind guy causes trouble?"
"Go, go, be careful!"
"Yes, thank you, Marshal!"
For a moment, only Murong Shan, Gu Mo Rongrong and twenty soldiers were left standing beside Young Master Liu. Even Zha Sang followed him without restraining his curiosity.
Liu Mingzhi did not stop Zasang from going over to watch the cannon. The power of the cannon lay entirely in the formula of the shells and gunpowder. No one except himself, An Gouer and a few close friends knew about these things.
Even if Zha Sang engraved the image of the cannon in his heart, it would be in vain. A cannon with only a barrel and no shells is not as powerful as a horizontal sword!
After all, few people can hold an iron lump like a cannon in their hands and use it as a weapon. Maybe Jiuniu can.
It's just that Jiuniu followed Liu Xuan to the East China Sea, and I don't know what's going on now.
Young Master Liu suddenly regretted letting Jiuniu follow Liu Xuan to the East China Sea, otherwise this guy would have been like a humanoid tank with his thick armor and that huge mace.
However, there is no medicine for regret in the world, so it is too late.
"Commander, all the princes and ministers of Loulan are waiting outside the palace gate!"
"I know, pay attention to your surroundings!"
"Got the order!"
Liu Mingzhi was no longer surprised by the people in the surrounding city closing their doors, and walked directly towards the Loulan Palace.
"Xiao Wang Qiaoloushan has met Commander Dalong!"
"Qiao Louhe, the minister of the Shanshan Kingdom's military envoy, has met Commander Dalong!"
"Prince Qiaolou Changming of Shanshan Kingdom has met Commander Dalong!"
""
After hearing what Gumo Rongrong translated one by one, Liu Mingzhi looked carefully at the more than thirty people kneeling on the ground, especially a seven or eight-year-old girl. Young Master Liu stopped for a long while before looking back.
Young Master Liu thought for a while and walked towards the seven or eight-year-old girl and squatted down slowly. The little girl watched in horror as Young Master Liu snuggled up to a woman with a pretty face next to him, as if
Young Master Liu is like a demon who chooses people to devour.
The pretty woman who should be the princess held the little girl in her arms and looked at Young Master Liu defensively but did not dare to move. She also knew that Young Master Liu had broken through the King's City of Jani, causing people like her to kneel outside the palace to greet her.
'culprit'.
Young Master Liu smiled lightly and touched the little girl's hair: "What's your name?"
“…￥%…”
Gumo Rongrong translated this sentence very discerningly!
"*...%*"
"Commander, her name is Qiaolou Lina and she is the youngest daughter of King Qiaolou Shan!"
"Qiaolou Lina! What a good name. Tell her not to be afraid that I will not hurt her. She misses my sister very much and I like her very much!"
"%...￥%￥%..."
“……￥%……￥…………￥…”
"Lina said please don't hurt her and her family. She is willing to treat you as her most beloved brother!"
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly: "What a brave and cute little girl! Let them all get up! Lead the way to the palace and sit down!"
After Gu Mo Rongrong translated, all the people in Qiaolou Shan kowtowed together: "Thank you, Commander Dalong!"
Liu Mingzhi gently held Qiaolou Lina's little wrist. He could clearly feel the little girl's trembling body. It seemed that Qiaolou Lina was still afraid of him from the bottom of her heart!
It was only her courage that kept her from breaking free from her grasp.
Liu Mingzhi smiled slightly: "Lina is so cute, brother, can you be the king of Loulan Kingdom?"
Gumo Rongrong looked shocked and had no sense to translate this sentence. She understood Liu Mingzhi's plan in an instant. When a seven or eight-year-old girl who knew nothing became the king, wouldn't she be a puppet?
Gumo Rongrong didn't translate this sentence. Qiao Loushan and others thought that Liu Dashao was just talking to himself and didn't care about anything. Besides, they didn't understand Chinese and didn't dare to ask Gumo Rongrong to translate it. After all, little Liu was talking to himself.
Life is in the hands of others.
Liu Mingzhi seemed to have noticed something and glanced at the middle-aged man next to Qiao Loushan, and took this person into his heart. If he dared to peek at him at this time, he was either audacious or had other agendas.
Liu Mingzhi believed the latter even more, because if he was too bold, he would not kneel on the ground with Qiao Loushan to welcome him into the city!
Especially after knowing that he had ordered them to do something evil and massacre the city for three days, he dared to be so bold.
Shalote hurriedly lowered his head and followed Qiao Loushan towards the main hall of Loulan Palace. He didn't expect Liu Mingzhi's intuition to be so sensitive. He only took a few peeks before being noticed by him.
"Xiao Wang was previously ignorant and ignorant, and did not realize the power of the Great Dragon Heavenly Army. Please forgive me for your foolish behavior, Commander-in-Chief Dragon. Please sit down, Commander-in-Chief Dragon!"
After Gumo Rongrong translated, Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly and pulled Qiaolou Lina, who was about to run towards his mother-in-law, to sit down.
Liu Mingzhi casually glanced at the furnishings in the hall, and was slightly startled when he looked at the furnishings on the low table in the hall. Before he ordered the attack, Qiaolou Shan was drinking with others, and the drinking utensils had not been taken back.
The identity of the person who allowed Qiao Loushan to entertain him alone was definitely unusual. Liu Mingzhi immediately set his sights on Shalote who dared to peek at him.
Although Charlotte was not sitting at the next wine table, Liu Mingzhi’s instinct told him that the person drinking with Qiao Lou Shan was none other than Charlotte!
Sensing Young Master Liu's eyes on her, Charlotte trembled slightly, nodded and lowered her eyebrows, motionless like a respectful servant.
"Is His Majesty the King sincerely loyal to my dragon?"
"Xiao Wang had previously blindly looked down upon the Great Dragon Heavenly Army. Please Commander Da Long, please don't be as knowledgeable as Xiao Wang!"
"Well, in that case, His Majesty the King will send someone to order the reinforcements in the other auxiliary cities to give up resistance and be captured. As long as they surrender obediently, I will guarantee that they will not be harmed at all. But if they are stubborn, I can't guarantee it!
"
"Yes, yes, Xiao Wang immediately ordered them not to resist the Great Dragon Heavenly Army!"
Qiaolou Shan took out a very strange writing brush and began to lie down on the low table to write. Liu Da used a machete to cut off a piece of delicious mutton and handed it to Qiaolou Lina.
"Eat it, this should be the most delicious roast leg of lamb in your Loulan Kingdom!"
Although Qiaolou Lina didn't understand what Liu Mingzhi meant, Qiaolou Lina could still see the meaning of letting her eat meat.
She gingerly took the mutton from Mr. Liu's hand, and Lina ate it fearfully.
Seeing the guards leaving in batches with Qiao Loushan's orders, Young Master Liu knelt down in the main hall and began to close his eyes and meditate.
When everyone saw this, they naturally did not dare to disturb him, so they had no choice but to sit aside silently, peeking at Mr. Liu from time to time and immediately lowering his head!
I don't know how long it took, but Liu Mingzhi felt no pressure in his heart, but people like Qiao Loushan were sitting on pins and needles, as if there were nails under their buttocks.
It wasn't until the sun was setting that Mr. Liu suddenly opened his eyes, and he knew that Zhou Baoyu, Ningchao and the others were back.
As expected, Zhou Baoyu and Ningchao came together without anyone: "I will wait to see the commander-in-chief!"
Ning Chao and the others walked directly to Young Master Liu and knelt down on one knee without even looking at the Qiaolou Shan people.
"No gift!"
"Thank you, Marshal!"
"How's the battle going!"
"We are all reinforcements from the Loulan Kingdom and have received orders from the king to surrender directly before they have launched. The prisoners are all being guarded outside the royal city. Please give the commander's instructions on how to deal with them!"
"Keep him in custody for now and wait for my commander's orders!"
"The general will get the order!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Qiaolou Lina, who had already dozed off a little but still managed not to fall asleep: "Lina, do you want to be the king of Loulan Kingdom? You can eat whatever you want and drink whatever you want. No one dares to
The blame lies with you!”
Qiaolou Lina came over in an instant and looked at Young Master Liu blankly. Then she looked at her aunt Rongrong. She knew very smartly that it was this beautiful sister who was passing the message between her father and Young Master Liu.
Aunt Mo Rongrong looked at Young Master Liu, and after learning about Young Master Liu, she translated this sentence to Qiaolou Lina.
As soon as Gumo Rongrong finished speaking, there was a slight commotion in the hall, and everyone except Qiaolou Lina, whose mind was not yet mature, understood Young Master Liu's plan in an instant.
Everyone knew about Young Master Liu's plan, but no one dared to refute it. Nowadays, everyone is at war with others, and his wealth and life depend on Liu Mingzhi's thoughts. There is nothing he can do if he knows Liu Mingzhi's plan.
King Qiaolou Shan and Prince Qiaolou Changming looked extremely embarrassed and could only hold back and remain silent.
Prince Qiaolou Changming glanced at Qiaolou Lina, nodded, lowered her eyebrows, and clenched her fists tightly, with a look of unwillingness on her face. This throne should have been his, and Loulan Kingdom should also be his.
But because Young Master Liu's words were snatched away by his half-sister Qiaolou Lina, the other princes also looked at Young Master Liu longingly. How they wished that this question was asked to them!
Everyone stared closely at Qiaolou Lina, hoping that she would say the words of rejection, but there was one woman exception, and that was Qiaolou Lina's mother, Ayiguli Maimaiti!
She knew that as long as her daughter nodded her head, she would become the king of Loulan Kingdom in an instant, with one person inferior to ten thousand people. Of course, one person was inferior to Young Master Liu.
Who can be the king of Loulan Kingdom also depends on the person in front of him. As long as he doesn't anger the person in front of him, his daughter's throne will be safe.
Because as long as Liu Mingzhi is still in the Western Region, no one in Loulan Kingdom will dare to overthrow his daughter's throne.
Qiaolou Lina still didn't know what kind of decision she would face, and looked at Liu Mingzhi blankly: "The king is my father, how can I be the king of Loulan Kingdom!"
As soon as Qiaolou Lina finished speaking, some were happy and some were sad. Qiaoloushan and the others relaxed slightly, while Aiyiguli raised her heart in her throat and couldn't help but blame herself for not educating her daughter in this regard.
Of course, Aiyiguli can't be blamed at this time, because without the arrival of Young Master Liu, her daughter would never have anything to do with the throne. It can only be said that the incident happened suddenly, and no one expected such a result!
After hearing Gumo Rongrong's translator, Mr. Liu looked at Qiaolou Lina with a chuckle: "You don't have to worry about this problem. If you have a brother here, as long as you nod your head, the throne will be yours. As long as you want to be the king, you will belong to Loulan Kingdom."
The new king! Everyone must listen to your words, and you will have everything you need to be rich, clothed, well-dressed, and well-off!"
After Gumo Rongrong translated, everyone's hearts were in their throats again.
Qiaolou Lina's childish face revealed a hint of hesitation and secretly looked at her mother-in-law Aiyiguli, wanting to see what her mother-in-law meant.
Qiaolou Changming wanted to give his little sister a warning, but he was glared back by Mr. Liu's sharp eyes. He did not dare to complain at all!
As for what Qiaolou Changming is thinking, Liu Mingzhi doesn't care. Now the situation is in my hands. You have to listen even if you don't want to. It's not up to you!
Liu Mingzhi just wants to support an obedient puppet. When the time comes to send troops, this puppet can send troops to help the Western Expedition army win the remaining countries in the Western Regions!
Capturing a kingdom and then abandoning it will inevitably lead to betrayal. Liu Mingzhi did not want a sharp blade hanging behind the army at any time, staring at him eagerly.
So you can only control it in your own hands.
Seeing the expectant look in her mother's eyes, Qiaolou Lina nodded slightly: "I do!"
Qiaolou Lina’s “I Will” completely broke most people’s hopes.
Liu Mingzhi smiled and nodded gently, touched Qiaolou Lina's hair and looked at Qiaolou Shan with squinted eyes: "Your Majesty the King, now that you are old, you should take a good rest and take care of yourself! Write an edict to abdicate.
!”
After listening to Gumo Rongrong's translation, Qiao Loushan wanted to tell Young Master Liu that he was only in his early thirties and could still preside over the government for a few more years. However, facing Young Master Liu's sharp eyes, he could only raise his pen and write down his abdication tremblingly.
The imperial edict passed the throne to his youngest daughter Qiaolou Lina.
Godlessly placing the edict on the table, Qiao Loushan looked at Shalot, the special envoy of the Yuezhi Kingdom not far away, showing a hint of vague hope and then fell silent!
Liu Mingzhi stood up and walked out of the hall, paused and glanced at Shalote: "Let them handle the rest by themselves. I only care about the results!"
"Yes, Rongrong will tell them!"
At night, Young Master Liu was holding a candle and carefully watching the sand table. There was a knock on the door, which made Young Master Liu frown: "Come in!"
"elder brother!"
Liu Mingzhi was stunned when he heard the name "brother" with a weird accent and looked towards the door. It turned out that two soldiers were blocking Qiaolou Lina to prevent her from entering!
Liu Mingzhi smiled slightly and put the candle on the table: "It's you, come in, can you speak Dalong dialect?"
After hearing what Mr. Liu said, the soldiers let Qiaolou Lina come in: "What I just learned is not good!"
"Very good, you are very smart, you can speak so well after only half a day!"
Qiaolou Lina bit her tender lips and looked at Young Master Liu: "Brother, are you short of a woman? If you are short of a woman, my sister will give you one!"
Young Master Liu laughed dumbly and squatted down: "Do you know what you are going to say?"
Qiaolou Lina shook her head blankly and looked at Young Master Liu firmly: "Are you in need of a woman? If you are in need of a woman, my sister will give you one!"
"Haha, you really don't understand what this means, okay, then give me one as a gift!"
Qiaolou Lina pondered for a while and stared at Young Master Liu with her little eyes: "You agreed!"
"Yes! Brother agreed!"
"Great, brother, please wait a moment!"
Mr. Liu helplessly shook his head, raised the candlestick and looked at the sand table again: "Children are children, and they dare to give it to me without even understanding what it means."
"Concubine, come in quickly, my brother agrees!"
Young Master Liu was stunned for a moment, holding up the candlestick, and looked at Aiyiguli who was being carried in by Qiaolou Lina. Why didn't he react for a moment?
This plot seems a bit familiar!
ps: You guys have to go whoring for nothing for two more days. I’m so heartbroken.
