Chapter 326 The Emperor (Final Chapter)

There is indeed no large number of catapults in the Jin army, just ten. Among the 50,000 troops, these ten catapults are like a drop in the ocean. If you don't pay attention, they are easy to be ignored. And the most surprising thing is that these 50,000 troops are mostly infantry, and they don't understand what the Jin army thinks?

Of course, Tuoba Si will not see the catapling machine, but what role can the ten catapling machines play? After a while, these ten catapults will not fire gunpowder that can affect the charge of the army, no matter how fast they are. So these ten catapults have been automatically ignored by him.

In the sound of the horn, the Wei army also quickly gathered outside the camp and confronted each other head-on. As long as the Jin army did not move heavy armored cavalry and the soldiers' combat ability, the Wei army was completely sure to defeat the Jin army, let alone the infantry.

He Wuji did not go out of the city. He still stood on the wall and commanded the army with flag language. When he saw the Wei army lining up to fight, a sneer flashed again at the corners of his mouth.

Hard? That's the reckless man's method. The lives of our Han soldiers are much more expensive than those of your Xianbei soldiers. Let you taste the ultimate weapon made by your majesty himself!

This kind of army battle is not the situation that Mr. Shu said that the generals fought alone first, and then the army took advantage of the situation. This is a real collision between soldiers. There is no special situation, compared with the combat effectiveness of soldiers.

Under the order of the Jin army, the soldiers in the front row erected the huge shield at the same time. Between the gaps of the shield was an iron gun shining with cold light. Looking at the posture, it was time to take a defensive position.

The horn of the Wei army sounded, and a cavalry left the group. Between them, they quickly formed an awl, concentrated a little and rushed to the Jin army.

It can be imagine that once the defensive position of the Jin army is torn apart by the Wei army, the Wei army behind will take advantage of the situation to follow up and then shake the whole Jin army.

However, as the Wei army got closer and closer, the Jin army in front of them never made any movement, even firing arrows. If the Wei army's iron horse was a little closer, the Wei army's sharp arrows could be shot.

At this time, Tuoba Si, who was far away from the rear to watch the battle, suddenly found that the Jin army's catapult had been loaded and was about to be launched.

"What kind of conspiracy did the Jin army play again? Can these catapulite alone stop my army?"

Although I thought so, there was always a bad feeling in my heart, and at this time, the Jin army's catapult finally launched.

Tuoba Si looked up and saw that the projectile was still bag-like things, but it seemed to be much smaller than before, and there was still Mars on it.

"What is this?"

The answer came out quickly. As those cloth bags fell, I suddenly heard "rumbling, booming..." The loud noise sounded at the foot of the iron horse of the charging Wei army.

With the loud noise, they saw the Wei army's iron riders turn upside down, and some even flew into the air with their horses, which was not the most terrible. After suddenly heard the loud noise, the Wei army's horses suddenly became a frightening horse because they could not bear the noise. They were no longer controlled by their masters and fled in all.

Although Tuobasi was far away from the front, he could still get off the horse, but he was still a little restless. He knew very well that once the horse was shocked, it would be contagious. He quickly ordered the rear army to retreat to avoid the war horses from getting out of control.

At this time, he suddenly understood why the front line of the Jin army was infantry, because they did not need to worry about shock at all.

The explosion of the explosive bag directly led to the loss of control of the whole battlefield. Fortunately, the front horse fell and blocked the road, otherwise the horse might rush into the Jin army. In this case, the Jin army also did not dare to act rashly. Ten thousand horses rushed down and had to be trampled into meat and mud in any armor.

The Wei army only dispatched a 10,000-person team, and only a few hundred people were killed directly. However, when the frightened horses ran into the air, the scene was in a mess. The battlefield was full of unrecognizable corpses that had been trampled on, and some injured horses also rolled on the ground and hissed. The scene was tragic.

And this is just the beginning.

At the sound of the horn, the Jin army began to move forward steadily, and where the army passed, regardless of the people and horses, there was no one alive.

Just now, the Wei army also dispatched 50,000 iron horses and dispersed 10,000. Did the remaining 40,000 return to the camp so quickly? Looking back, when they saw that the Jin army had followed, these Wei troops couldn't help but panic, but these Wei troops were also experienced. Instead of squeezing forward, they ran to the left and right sides of the battalion under the leadership of their respective generals.

In this way, the army was like a flood, quickly diverted, and the troops in the middle quickly entered the battalion, and then guarded the camp, watching the Jin Dynasty army as it was getting closer and closer.

Outside the range of the bow and arrow, the Jin army suddenly stopped, and then a more horrible scene appeared. Behind the huge shield in the front row, like a trick, hundreds of catapults were erected.

At this time, Tuoba Si just returned to the central army's tent. Before he could even drink his saliva, he saw the soldiers rolling in and crawling in.

"Your Majesty, big and big things are not good. Outside and outside are all catapults of the Jin army"

"What?"

Tuoba Si couldn't drink any more water and ran out. As soon as he arrived at the door of the tent, the corner of his eyes felt that there seemed to be something more in the distant sky. He looked up and couldn't help taking a breath of cold air.

I saw countless sparking cloth bags rolling down to his camp. In front of this new weapon, Tuoba Si couldn't think of a way to deal with it. His first idea was to run, but in fact, he couldn't run.

As these explosive bags fell, the Wei army battalion suddenly burst into explosions, and then the whole battalion fell into complete chaos.

In the sound of the explosion, tents, fences, and all flammable items were ignited, the uncontrolled horses hurled in the camp, and the wounded soldiers who fell to the ground howled in pain. The whole thing was a realistic version of hell on earth.

After two rounds of explosive bags, the outermost part of the Wei army battalion has been almost razed to the ground. When the explosion completely disappeared, the Jin army finally launched.

In order not to be affected by the Wei army, the Jin army was almost the same infantry, and the cavalry followed far behind. In this battle, their task has become cooperation. Cooperating with the infantry to kill and injure the Wei army as much as possible, and then hit the Wei army fatally when the Wei army collapsed.

It sounds incredible, but the actual situation is true. After the 500,000 Wei army battalion was blown up by the Jin army, the front battalion was in chaos, and then the chaos affected the whole battalion like infection.

I have to say that the power of the explosive bag is really amazing. Although not many people were killed directly, the psychological fear it caused is immeasurable.

At this time, Tuoba Si had fled to the rear under the protection of the bodyguard, and his escape undoubtedly became the main cause of the defeat of the army.

Seeing this, He Wuji, who was far away from the wall, immediately issued an order and the whole army suppressed it.

With He Wuji's order, the door was closed, and the Jin army, which was ready to go, chased the brothers and began to kill the Wei army like a tiger.

Without the central command of Tuoba Si, the Wei army was like a scattered sand and collapsed at a touch. 500,000 troops were hunted down by 200,000 Jin troops. How could that scene be described as spectacular?

The sound of killing, crying, and occasional explosions... These voices destroyed Tuobasi's nerves. He knew that he was completely finished. From then on, the State of Wei would change from a strong and temporary country to a small tribe that survived. It must be said that the Jin Dynasty was willing to let him go.

But Tuoba Si is really unwilling! 500,000 troops! It collapsed in a blink of an eye. Isn't it too fast?

Almost when He Wuji destroyed the main force of Tuobasi head-on, he supported 100,000 troops from Tan Daoji in the east and 100,000 troops from Zhao Lunwen in the west. At the same time, he crossed the Great Wall and began to advance towards Sheng Le.

The army was defeated like a mountain, and the Yanmen Pass was not far from Shengle. Tuoba Si fled into the city, and the Jin army followed. At this time, the army following Tuoba Si was less than 100,000.

It's not that these armies have been wiped out by the Jin army, but that the armed forces of the tribes saw that Tuoba had gone and fled with their own troops.

In addition to the army that is constantly being destroyed and surrendered along the way, it is already good that Tuoba Si can have so many people left.

At this time, Tuoba Si finally became smart again. Before the Jin army besieged Sheng Le, he led 50,000 confidant troops to escape from the north gate and fled directly to the depths of the desert.

The remaining Shengle defenders, led by Tuobayi, tried to contain the Jin army and buy more time for Tuobasi.

The Jin army chased after Yanmen all the way, and was also very tired. Instead, they did not immediately chase Tuoba Si. Instead, they surrounded Sheng Le and then rested on the spot.

In fact, there is no suspense about the war. There are only tens of thousands of Tuoba Si around him, just like a toothless tiger. Those tribal armed forces who have been oppressed by him for a long time will not let him go.

Three days later, the east and west troops arrived, and He Wuji began to launch a final attack on the Shengle defenders who refused to surrender.

The soldiers first piled countless bags of explosives at the gate in a rain of arrows, and then in the sound of the explosion, the city gate was collapsed with a piece of city wall.

Then, the Jin army rushed up the unguarded wall like a tide and entered the city. In the whole siege, the capital of Wei, which was defended by 100,000 troops, was captured in three hours.

With the influx of more and more Jin soldiers, the prosperous Wei Empire was also swept into the wheels of history.

The news soon came back to Luoyang, and Luoyang suddenly boiled again, and when the news spread all over the country like the wind, it was even more festive.

The fall of Wei also marks the complete lifting of the threat from the north. In the future, only the Han army will continue to open up territory to the north without worrying about the repeated tragedy of Wuhu Chaohua.

When Luoyang fell into a jubilant sea, Lu Qiang sat alone on the golden hall. The hall was very quiet. He did not invite any officials. He just wanted to feel the atmosphere quietly.

It has been almost nine years since he came to this era. From a waste emperor who was worried about his life at the beginning, he finally became the great emperor who reunified the Central Plains. Can others understand the hardships?

People close to him know that he has changed a lot and become firm and unfathomable, but if he wants to rule such a huge empire, can he stay the same?

The hall was quiet. No one dared to disturb Lu Qiang's thoughts, and no one understood what he was thinking.

At this time, there seemed to be countless figures shaking in front of Lu Qiang. Huan Xuan, Liu Yi, Liu Yu, Qiao Zong, Murong Xi, Yao Xing, Tuoba Kui...

There are too many. Which of these people is not a momentary person? But in the end, they all fell at their feet. Unconsciously, a smile appeared at the corners of Lu Qiang's mouth.

"Thank you for completing me and giving me the opportunity to stand at the peak of this life. Maybe you have also had a dream of becoming an emperor for thousands of years, so you can close your eyes under the nine springs, because I will fulfill this dream for you."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel excited. He stood up and strode out. The whole city was celebrating, and the peace bell on the palace would also be sounded by him.

Out of the hall, the red sun happened to poke his head from behind a cloud, and the sun shone on Lu Qiang in a bright yellow suit, as if he was wearing a golden coat, shining brightly...

In the sixth year of the new era, Lu Qiang took He Wuji as his commander, led 100,000 troops out of the fortress again, fought three battles and three victories, and finally eliminated the power of the Xianbei Tuoba clan.

Then the Luqiang court divided and ruled the grassland, helped the weak, vigorously developed commerce and trade, improved the lives of the grassland people, and gradually brought it closer to the Central Plains.

The grassland is different from the Central Plains, and the legal awareness is weak, so this huge project did not show results until Lu Qiang's abdication.

When Lu Qiang's second son Sima Xiang was 15 years old, Lu Qiang took him from Maoshan and handed him over to He Wuji to go to the grassland and continue to the west.

As Lao Dao expected, the Xie clan found Sima Xiang and described his mother's suicide as being forced to death by Lu Qiang. At this time, Sima Xiang was already in charge of military power. Under the provocation of the Xie clan, it almost caused a big disaster. Fortunately, Lao Dao was already prepared and ordered someone to send him a letter to explain what happened to him in detail. Say it again.

After careful consideration, Sima Xiang killed the person who provoked him and went to Luoyang to plead guilty in person.

In fact, Sima Xiang did not know that if he rebelled, Lu Qiang would definitely destroy his relatives and made all kinds of preparations. Fortunately, Lao Dao solved this human tragedy of father and son for him.

After that, Sima Xiang put on his clothes again and led the army to fight all the way to the Danube. Since then, he has never returned to the Central Plains.

At the age of 50, Lu Qiang gave way to his 26-year-old son Sima Tong on the grounds of physical discomfort, and took several wives to Jin'an County to live in seclusion until his death.

For the life of this emperor, the descendants have mixed reputation. The Han people praised his cultural and martial arts of unifying China, and many ethnic minorities slandered him, because in the nearly 30 years of his reign, he forcibly moved nearly one million Koreans and grassland people to the south and indirectly died at his hands. There are countless.

Of course, it is impossible for Lu Qiang to know about these events. For him, as long as it is beneficial to the nation-state, he will do it, even if the scolding behind him rolls over...
