All Chapters of Game of the Throne: Chapter 401 - Chapter 410

The city gates in the distance were tightly closed, swords and spears were everywhere on the city walls, and the muzzles of the cannons were pitch black; the solid city seemed like a fortress surrounded by iron barrels. Qu Neng led several riders and rushed to the south gate of Chengdu more than a hundred steps away, and could already see a row of heads hanging on the gate."Boom! Boom!" Two cannon shots were heard from the city wall. Qu Neng spurred his horse to move closer.The generals around him shouted, "It's dangerous! Commander Qu, don't let this get you down."There was a whizzing sound in the air, and a bunch of arrows fell on the ground in front of Qu Neng, nailing the ground densely. Qu Neng reined in his horse and looked up at the head on the top of the city. The veins on his temples bulged, and the red on his skin seemed like blood beads being squeezed out.He didn't make a sound, but he clenched his hands tightly, and the tendons in his w

In the camp of the King of Han's army, the boring and repetitive noise of sawing wood continued. The soldiers carrying the wood also shouted "Hey Yo" in a very orderly and rhythmic manner. People were cutting and carrying wood, building Huihui cannons and ladders, and there was a busy scene everywhere.The generals of the guards who knew the inside story of the army had advised Zhu Gaoxu not to make weapons. But Zhu Gaoxu replied: If we besiege the city but do not build siege tools, it would be like telling Guo Zi that we are determined to seize the city by relying on internal forces!Before Mu Sheng's army reached the west of the city, Zhu Gaoxu's troops had already surrounded Chengdu on all sides. He sent troops up every day to attack the city walls with long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows, copper fire guns, and bowl-mouth guns.Nearly a hundred steps away from the city wall, rows of soldiers stood in line with torches and charcoal in front of th

After all the government offices closed at the You hour, the capital city was still bustling with activity and the market was prosperous.Gao Xianning, the Imperial Academy student, came out of Hongwu Gate and rode a donkey to the southwest alone. He also sent his servants home.Gao Xianning lived in the mansion given to him by Emperor Taizong, but he did not take this route home. He did not want to go home today, but to go to the Qinhuai River near Jubao Gate; every ten days or half a month, he would go there and take a look at the scenery along the way.The jade shop that the King of Han secretly purchased was located between Jubao Gate and Qinhuai River.The jade shop was closed most of the time, and Gao Xianning might not go in once or twice a year. He usually walked here frequently, and was afraid that someone would notice such a strange detail; so Gao Xianning usually went to another place after passing by Jade Street.There is also a very

Zhu Gaoxu wanted to lead the army to march as soon as possible, which seemed a bit hasty; but in order to seize the opportunity, he had to abandon the perfect preparations.At this time, nothing was more important than military action, and many seemingly important matters could be put aside. But before Zhu Gaoxu left, he still had to meet the King of Shu, which could not be omitted. After all, the King of Shu was the son of Emperor Taizu, who had been in charge of the Sichuan Provincial Administration for many years; and his grandfather was Chuyang King Guo Zixing, who had a great reputation.Zhu Gaoxu was looking for a seemingly natural excuse to meet the King of Shu. Unexpectedly, the King of Shu sent a letter of invitation first. Zhu Gaoxu opened it and took a look. The King of Shu said that the emperor's nephew is coming to Chengdu, and his uncle will prepare a family banquet tomorrow to show the friendship of the landlord. There are not many people invited, o

In the east warm room of the imperial palace in the capital, after Xu Huizu walked past the partition, the servants inside went out, and the only eunuch left was Hai Tao.The East Warm Pavilion has gone through the Hongwu, Jianwen, and Yongle dynasties, and has not changed much in its layout until the Hongxi dynasty, but the furnishings inside have changed a lot recently. The flesh of Emperor Zhu Gaochi is lying on a large chair covered with several layers of fur made of golden nanmu. On the wall behind him hangs a map of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, like a large screen.On the imperial desk covered with silk, a stack of memorials were placed far away; only one was placed in front of Zhu Gaochi, who seemed to have read it over and over again...Before Gao Xu started his rebellion, there was a spy who reported that Gao Xu was going to attack Annan. When Xu Huizu heard this, he immediately said that the report was false and asserted that Gao Xu would eit
