Chapter 763 Come on, show it
At this moment, the Western Xia envoy witnessed what it meant to be as powerful as heaven and earth.
At this moment, the Western Xia envoys realized what it meant to be as small and powerless as an ant.
At this moment, the three perspectives of the Western Xia envoy were refreshed. The Great Zhou court was like a piece of paper in front of Duke Yun. It was not that the Great Zhou was too weak, but that Duke Yun was too powerful.
The Western Xia envoy covered his chest and stared at the Yunzhou cannons, as if they were ferocious monsters ready to pounce at any time.
Even more shocked than the Xixia envoy was Xie Runtian!
Zhuge Yu was not cheating, he was speaking the truth.
The Yunzhou cannon can hit whatever it is pointed at, with terrifying accuracy and immense power.
The defeated horse-front was filled with smoke and dust. The soldiers who had not yet evacuated were buried in the broken mud.
Xie Runtian pulled open his collar. The air seemed to be getting hotter and hotter, and even breathing became difficult.
After this shot, the Yunzhou army moved forward again in unison.
The earth was shaking, firmly and orderly, slowly coming with powerful force.
This is an unfamiliar battle.
There were no arrows flying all over the sky - because the enemy was far out of range.
There was no close combat, no fighting on the battlefield, only heaven-destroying and earth-shattering crushing.
Xie Runtian discovered in despair that they had no way to deal with the Yunzhou cannon.
The wall is no longer a wall to protect them, but a cage that sprays them to death.
In this moment of silence, Temuqile came again.
"By order of Mr. Zhuge, the second shot will be fired from the west. Fire in a quarter of an hour."
After saying this three times in a row, Temuqile left again.
This time, no one dared to ignore his words, and the Western Horse-Faced Supervisor took the lead and ran.
Xie Runtian couldn't stop it.
A quarter of an hour later, amid the deafening sound of artillery fire, the Western Horse-Faced Army turned into a pool of mud.
"Is it time to attack the city?"
Xie Runtian's eyes were out of focus and he said numbly.
The ruins of the horse face formed a gentle slope, which was enough for the Yunzhou cavalry to climb up the city wall along this slope.
Zhuge Yu waved his feather fan and said, "No, Duke Yun said that the shells are not a problem, the lives of the soldiers are the most important. Come on, blow up all the other horse-faced soldiers!"
Temuqile faithfully informed Xie Runtian of Zhuge Yu's decision.
So, on that day, the people of the entire Yongzhou city saw it, with fire all over the sky.
The people hugged each other in panic. It was not Duke Yun who was attacking the city, but God who was angry!
The Xie family’s private army has completely given up.
They dropped their weapons and ran down the city wall.
The Xie family said that every person they killed, every blade they picked up, every flag they captured, and every nose they cut off would earn them a promotion, more land, bonuses, or even a calf.
After the New Year, when the calf has grown up, it can be used to plow the fields and pull ox carts.
They might live like noble stewards and behave like human beings.
It sounds like such a beautiful day.
But the premise of all this is that people can survive.
"We can't even touch the corners of their clothes, how can we kill people? They were killed by thunder before we even got close to them. We might as well run while Duke Yun still has mercy on Yongzhou!"
"Yes, the Yunzhou soldiers never kill innocent people, nor do they massacre the city. As long as we put down our butcher knives, we can be saved."
On the city wall, Xie Runtian stood alone, with smoke and dust blowing all over his face, making him look like a clay figure.
The hundreds of years of glory of the Xie family turned into a wisp of smoke under the bombardment of cannons.
Their reliance became a joke, and Xie Runtian looked at Su Yu opposite him.
The Zhuge Yu pictured above may not even have a single hair out of place.
"Come on, it's better to die standing than to live on your knees. Let the artillery fire come more fiercely." Xie Runtian opened his arms.
He thought he would go down in history.
At the very least, it will leave a significant mark in the chronicles of Yongzhou City.
The imagined artillery fire did not come, and what Xie Runtian waited for was Zhuge Yu's call to retreat.
The Xixia envoy held his jaw in shock and asked Wang Anshi in a low voice, "What do you want to do?"
"How should I know?" Wang Anshi spat out a mouthful of sand. He was also shocked just now.
When Xie Runtian returned to the Xie family, the house was dead silent.
[Duke Yun is resolute and swift, and Yunzhou's cannons are invincible. ]
The Yunzhou cavalry showed the Xie family the praise in the Yunzhou Weekly through their actual actions.
The head of the Xie family folded the beads in his hand, then stood up suddenly and said, "Tomorrow, all the young and strong men from each branch of the Xie family will go up to the city wall! My Xie family has lasted for hundreds of years. We can bend down and lift a knife! I want to show the world how Duke Yun is abandoned after his death!"
Xie Ershisanlang's eyes were filled with tears; he didn't really want to go to the battlefield.
Xie Qi sat in the corner, silently wiping his sword.
The head of the Xie family has already made the decision, and no one else has the right to interfere.
That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
Suddenly, a gentle sea of light quietly lit up the Yunzhou military camp.
Thousands of Kongming lanterns were lit one after another, and the flickering candlelight reflected the thin paper cage into a translucent amber color, as if countless plucked stars were crawling on the earth waiting to ascend.
At first, only a few scattered lights trembled and lifted off the ground, like tentative fireflies, swaying upwards in the night wind.
Gradually, one lamp, ten lamps, a hundred lamps... the orange-red spots of light formed a river, winding upwards along the wind.
The bamboo frame of the lantern was faintly visible in the firelight, like golden lines drawn with a fine brush.
There were a few big black words written on all the Kongming lanterns: "Redress injustice if there is any"!
Under the same sky, the people of Yongzhou also saw the Kongming lanterns shining in harmony with the stars.
"What is this?" The old man stared at the scene infatuatedly and murmured softly.
The young man's heart was beating violently, as if something was awakening: "It is a blessing from God."
The people of Yongzhou have suffered too many grievances, but have nowhere to appeal and nowhere to seek redress.
But the Kongming lantern said that it could redress the grievances.
Where to appeal?
"Come on, come on! We're writing petitions for everyone for free! Don't be anxious, get in line. I guarantee everyone will get a spot."
Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong appeared on the main street, shouting loudly.
Wang Anshi pointed to the cavalrymen standing beside him who were as strong as a mountain, and said to the onlookers: "Did you see that? The Yunzhou cavalrymen, the Gu family army, and Gu Twenty-three! Feel free to come and complain, but the Xie family is too busy to take care of themselves, and will not retaliate against you."
Gu Twenty-three rolled up his sleeves, revealing his rock-hard muscles, and bulged them hard, causing exclamations from those around him.
More and more people gathered.
The young man's eyes were sparkling, and he seemed to be able to see the reflection of the Kongming lantern in them.
He squeezed through the crowd and became the first person to eat crabs: "Can you really redress your grievances?"
"Yes!" Wang Anshi said firmly, "When you finish writing the petition, you can start to appeal!"
Wow!
The crowd was in an uproar.
The young man's eyes lit up even more: "I want to sue Xie Runtian, the Lord of Yongzhou. He forced my sister to be his concubine! He also beat my parents to death!"
