"Can you start?"

Xin Jinggao couldn't wait any longer, so he urged Yue Xi to say.

Yue Xi smiled and said, "It's OK, just wait for the general to give the order."

"Okay, siege the city"

With Xin Jinggao's order, the stone thrower stopped throwing stones, and the strange cars began to move forward.

Cai Xide saw these strange cars and sneered: With these cars, even the trenches in front of the city can't pass through, how can they get close to the city walls?

But as the strange car approached, Cai Xide suddenly said "Huh": "So that's it."

Under the strange car, two long pieces of wood clearly stretched out, which looked like rut tracks, but they were only five feet long. It seemed to be a tool for building bridges and crossing the trench

Cai Xide pointed to the strange car and ordered: "Cum through them."

The crossbow on the top of the city began to aim with Wangshan and then gathered to shoot, but the monster car was protected by iron plates. Although every time it shot, the monster car would shake violently and the iron plates would be bent and transformed, it was still not overturned.

"Open the city and prepare to go out of the city to fight." Seeing this, Cai Xide immediately made a decision.

These strange cars can't easily build bridges

The moat outside the city is another line of defense in Tongguan to prevent the enemy from easily approaching the city wall. With Cai Xide's order, the city gate opened immediately, and the cavalry that had been prepared early would rush out.

Almost at the same time, Xin Jinggao also ordered: "Siege the City"

To seize Tongguan, it is impossible to avoid casualties. With his order, he immediately moved all the troops and shouted and hurried towards the city wall.

The crossbows on the city suddenly made a heavy sound, and iron spears acting as crossbow arrows were shot out, causing a large number of casualties in the Tang army in a short time. However, a large number of Tang army still rushed to the trench and shot the rebels who rushed out of the city gate back.

However, compared with down shooting, it was a loss, and the defensive equipment on the city wall did pose a great threat to the Tang army.

"It's soon, it's soon." Seeing the bloody battle in front of the city, Yue Xi's face turned pale and his hands and feet were chilling, and he just hoped to get closer soon. At this moment, he felt a little annoyed. After all, he was not familiar with military affairs and shouldn't have pushed the strange cars forward so early, but was subjected to fierce reaction from the other party.

However, the efforts will be rewarded. Although the casualties were a little heavier, the cars finally crossed the trench - but they relied on Xin Jinggao to command the soldiers to fill the soil in the rain of arrows.

After they passed the trench, they stood straight to the city wall. Cai Xide took a risk to look down on the city and found that they seemed to be digging the corner of the city wall. Seeing this, Cai Xide laughed: "After all, they are scholars and soldiers, so they can dig through the wall. Then Tongguan is not Tongguan and pouring water."

Above the city, boiling boiling water poured downwards. Although it was blocked by iron plates, it was still poured all over the floor. When he saw the water, Yue Xi's expression changed drastically, almost jumping up and screaming at the golden whistle, but he found that it was only water rather than oil that fell down. He breathed a sigh of relief and kept saying "Slow".

Xin Jinggao looked at him with some dissatisfaction and ignored him. He was already a little disappointed with Yue Xi's "secret weapon". Fortunately, he had other preparations and asked someone to rectify the equipment, prepare the ladder, board the city car and other things, and prepare to start getting on by himself.

At this moment, the cars finally found something wrong. One of them was pushed under the door opening and quickly retreated. Then the other cars came here one after another and left.

Cai Xide was at the top of the city wall and saw these strange cars starting to retreat, he was very suspicious: Are they coming to the battlefield to make fun of it?

"Retreat, let our people retreat." Yue Xi held Xin Jinggao's hand and shouted: "It's done, it's done, it's done, it's done, it's done for another three minutes."

Xin Jinggao ordered the sound of gold. Amid the sound of the gongs of Dangdang, the Tang army retreated in batches, and it was not too late. Cai Xide always felt something was wrong at the top of the city. He leaned down at the city certificate and looked down. After a while, there was nothing unusual except for finding a pit where the strange cars had just parked.

"The enemy seems to have piled up some things in the pit." Someone shouted.

Cai Xide frowned. No matter what it was, it was definitely not a good thing. He ordered: "Shoot me with a rocket."

The archers on the top of the city immediately took the rocket and shot them down the city. Someone threw down the torch. Then there were several loud bangs, and the entire ground in Tongguan vibrated.

"Grenade" Cai Xide was so shocked that he could hardly stand firmly. He did not make a fool of himself by supporting the city certificate. A flash of his heart, and the word immediately emerged.

Although he did not participate in the New Year's Eve coup, the name of "grenade" was already well known. In the military order issued by An Lushan, he specially reminded him to pay attention to the use of this strange weapon of the Tang army. The momentum just now was very similar to the rumored grenade. Cai Xide hurriedly stretched out his head and saw a piece of gunpowder. After the wind blew away the gunpowder, several collapsed places appeared on the wall of Tongguan.

However, the collapse was too small. At least for the city wall, it was just a layer of oily skin, which was completely unharmed.

With such a big momentum, Cai Xide couldn't help laughing when he saw this: "This is Ye Chang's magic weapon, it's not as good as a stone throwing machine..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a shocking sound

This time the sound came from his feet

He stood on the city gate tower, and the loud noise was the gunpowder placed in the city gate cave. The most gunpowder was placed here, and nearly a thousand kilograms of gunpowder in painted wooden boxes were placed, and it was inside the city cave. With this loud noise, not only the city gate exploded, but the city tower also shattered and collapsed.

Cai Xide and his main subordinates were all standing on the city tower, so without exception, they were all swallowed by thick smoke and rocks.

Although the sounds just now were huge, with thick smoke and fire rising into the sky, in fact, because the gunpowder was not buried well and the number was relatively small, it was like a joke. This was the most important thing in the door, and this was the real thing. The door was weaker than the city wall structure. After it was blown up, it collapsed due to the damage to its own structure.

The smoke of gunpowder dissipated slightly, and Xin Jinggao was immediately overjoyed as he watched this scene.

"Siege the city, beat the drum, attack the city"

The city was in chaos, and this was the best time to attack the city. Although the first few explosions were very poor, the last moment was to blow up the city gate. The part that was blown up became a weak link in the siege.

He patted Yue Xi on the shoulder hard: "It's not bad, it's really a good thing."

He was so excited, but Yue Xi couldn't be happy.

"How could this happen..." Yue Xi stared at the Tongguan city wall and murmured.

He is one of the few people who have been exposed to gunpowder, so he is very clear that when he was experimenting with the power of this wooden box of gunpowder on the island, a very small box could lift a cement house away. This is the root of his confidence. In his opinion, the Tongguan city wall should also be lifted away, and should not just collapse like this now.

Even the instructions Ye Chang gave him said that gunpowder bombing the city was enough to break through any strong city, but it did not mean that it just caused the city tower to collapse. The power in actual combat was very different from what Ye Chang described.

However, he is a person who is good at summarizing. Ye Chang's statement should be correct, because there is experimental verification on the isolated island, so it must be that there is something wrong with the blasting method today.

"By the way, this shouldn't be the case... it should be to dig soil and dig the ground, and bomb the city in a relatively sealed environment, rather than just digging a shallow pit at will..."

He was muttering to himself. Xin Jinggao couldn't understand and was too lazy to pay attention to it anymore. He just watched the troops shouting and charged at Tongguan again.

The rebels on the top of the city could no longer organize a counterattack, and the explosion was too loud, and the collapse of the city tower also terrified them. Although the first formation of gunpowder siege was not very beautiful and the result was just like that, at least it caused a full threat. Therefore, this time, when the rebels finally began to resist decently, the Tang army had already climbed up the collapsed city gate.

"It's done." Seeing this, Xin Jinggao laughed to the sky: "This Tongguan has fallen into my hands."

As he said, the rebels in the city saw that things were irreversible, and they all surrendered one after another. A few of them fled out of the city and were intercepted by the Tang army who had gone from Pujin Pass to Tongguan.

Chang'an City, these days have been a rare sunny day, with the warm sun shining on this imperial capital.

But some people are cold in their hearts.

The abdicated Suzen Platform was built yesterday, and the cement on it was not yet covered. Li Heng stood in front of the steps below the stage with a blank expression, watching the ceremony above.

Since Cao Pi usurped the throne at the hands of Emperor Xian of Han, the Chinese dynasties have changed, and there are many abdication tests, including the Wei Dynasty in the Jin Dynasty in the Song Dynasty in the Song Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty in the Qi Dynasty in the Song Dynasty... Even those Hu regimes who entered the Central Plains also had to learn this form, including the Eastern Wei Dynasty in the Northern Qi Dynasty in the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the Western Wei Dynasty, and Wei abdicated to Sui Dynasty. Even the Emperor Gaozu of Tang Li Yuan was nominally abdicated from Emperor Gong of Sui Yang You.

Now it's his turn.

Li Heng suddenly wanted to laugh.

He tried his best to kill his relatives and father, and finally took up the throne. However, in less than two months, he had to hand over the jade seal representing the throne.

After handing over, if An Lushan can really hold the world firmly, then he will die inexplicably one or two years later. Historical books record a "ravaged soldier". If An Lushan cannot hold the world firmly, An Lushan will definitely not leave him before the final destruction.

Although he had a clear understanding of this, Li Heng still dared not resist. He glanced at Yan Zhuang, who was standing beside him, and then lowered his head again.

Yan Zhuang was indeed proud. After An Lushan ascended the throne, he made it clear that he would get the position of a minister. After the situation stabilized, he could even become the prime minister of the new dynasty with Ji Wen. Now An Lushan still needs to rely on the reputation of the old ministers of the old dynasty, so Chen Xilie and Ji Wen were the prime minister.

Chen Xilie on the stage shook his head and was reciting a lengthy abdication article. Although An Lushan was not officially the emperor at the other end of the Zen platform, his current ceremonial umbrella is no different from that of the emperor.

Even last night he officially stayed in Xingqing Palace. The palace that Li Heng neglected was An Lushan's favorite place. When he was Li Longji's minister, he would feel envious whenever he entered the palace.

"Being a monkey and being crowned."

Among the ministers watching the ceremony below, somebody murmured. Wang Wei turned his face to look, but he couldn't see who was talking.

Not only him, but the rest of the people are also looking for someone who is so brave.

They had long been impatient with everything in front of them, even Chen Xilie on the stage, but their lives were at stake and no one dared to resist, so they could only twitch their faces and continue the show.

Fortunately, An Lushan is also impatient.

After retreating to Chang'an, his injuries began to repeat. If it weren't for the sweet words of Yan Zhuang and others, he would never have been able to do anything to accept the throne. He would have sat on the throne with his own strength. At least no one in Chang'an City dared not accept it. He was a Han Chinese who were polite and had tormented for so long.

He didn't understand the four or six parallel prose that Chen Xilie had read, but he knew that the more nagging the guy, the more tired he would be when he stood here. Seeing that the clock had passed for two moments, he was no longer willing to wait. He strode forward and walked directly to the Zen platform.

This is not in accordance with etiquette.

Therefore, when he saw him coming up, Chen Xilie was stunned, not understanding what was going on, and he didn't know whether he should continue to recite.

An Lushan took the long paper in his hand, threw it aside, and waved to the audience: "Come up"

Li Heng knew that he was summoning him, and he snorted coldly in his heart, wishing that God would suddenly drop lightning and kill An Lushan to death.

Unfortunately, the thunder on New Year's Eve was a grenade, not a real thunderbolt from the sky. And if it were a thunderbolt from the sky, Li Heng would not be spared.

"Your Majesty, you should go on stage quickly." Yan Zhuang next to him whispered.

Li Heng looked at the other side again, Ji Wen looked solemnly there, sighed and said, "It's time to come, what's the use of delaying it anymore? It's better to be more refreshed."

"I treat you very well, why bother me like this?"

"The Supreme One is not very good to treat you. Why do you have to force the Supreme One in Huaye Xianghui Tower? Ye Chang treat you very little, why do you have to force Ye Chang?" Ji Wen said in a low voice.

Li Heng saw that a warrior had already come over with his sword, and he knew that he could not drag him anymore, so he could only take a step and slowly step onto the stage.

The first level and the second level are only the ninth level in total. He was very eager for any changes in these nine steps. But what disappointed him was that he did not change until he got on stage.

Behind him, Ji Wen and Yan Zhuang also walked up with their seals.

According to the ceremony, Li Heng took the seal from the two of them, and then An Lushan worshiped the seal. Li Heng then worshiped the seal with An Lushan and An Lushan again. This was considered as the abdication ceremony and the positions of the monarch and ministers were exchanged. After that, all officials worshiped and rewarded the general amnesty. Li Heng grabbed the seal and his hands were shaking involuntarily.

He hasn't caught the heat yet...

Tears suddenly surged up. He worked hard several times but could not hand the seal to An Lushan. An Lushan stared at the seal, and finally became impatient and took it directly from him.

Li Heng was still holding on, but An Lushan shouted: "Let go"

With this shout, Li Heng could no longer hold on, let go, and then burst into tears.
