Chapter 232: Enter Sword Gate City
The imperial army frantically threw stones all night, and the next morning, when Xiao Gu flew over Jianmen City again, he could no longer find a living person. Not to mention that the open space was full of stones, but the walls and towers were full of stones. In addition to one tower on the west side, there were still two pillars, and the tower on the east side was completely smashed.
Bones flew to the west tower and found a lot of corpses under the west wall, as if they had fallen to death. It seems that these people tried to jump to avoid the rocks, but they were thrown to their deaths. But you can also see some blood stains on the road, and someone should have managed to escape and run down the mountain.
After checking it twice, the ossicles flew back.
"Your Majesty, there should be no one in Jianmen City, even if there are people, it is estimated that they will be crushed under the stones, and there is no threat."
"Zhao Aiqing, did you hear that? It's time to attack. Yue Fei! After Liang Jia finished speaking, he shouted.
Zhao Ximei nodded, and then ordered the march. At the same time, Yue Fei ran over quickly and fell to his knees.
"Does the excavator still have fuel?"
"Also, after Weichen saw it, he should still be able to run to the capital."
"That's it, go up there and open the gates."
"Yes." Yue Fei left happily.
Then, the unique sound of the excavator came, and Yue Fei drove the excavator to the front of the army, and drove towards Jianmen City with a bang.
On the first day of the march, Yue Fei and the excavator earned enough eyeballs. Everyone is very interested in this iron pimple, but unfortunately Yue Fei can operate it alone, and the others can only catch the blind. Subsequently, the excavator also left countless marks of weapons swinging.
Although it is not as strong as a tank, it is not something that an ordinary sword can cut.
The excavator went all the way up, and although the road was steep, the power of this modern machine was much more powerful than that of a horse-drawn ox, and it seemed that it didn't take much effort to climb up.
The soldiers who followed behind him walked to the gate of Jianmen City, and they didn't see anyone on the city wall. It seems that the city has really been filled in, and everyone is relieved at this time.
Then he began to erect the ladder, while Yue Fei operated the excavator and began to chisel the city gate non-stop.
The soldiers quickly climbed the wall, which was full of stones, and all you could see was a hand, a foot, a corner of a garment, and something like that could be seen under the crack in the stone.
An hour later, more than 10,000 people had already climbed the city wall of Jianmen City, and Yue Fei's side finally chiseled open the city gate, and countless stones rolled out, and the front of the smashed excavator slammed loudly. If it weren't for the excavator blocking it, it is estimated that these stones would have rolled down, and they would definitely scratch the soldiers rushing up below.
When no more soldiers came up from behind, Yue Fei let go of the excavator, and the stone rolled down for a while, revealing dozens of corpses inside. The corpses were not stoned to death, but crushed to death.
Yue Fei didn't care about it at all, and shoveled it down, shoveling the corpse with stones aside. wretched
The soldiers who climbed the city wall began to clean the stones from the city wall, and it took a whole day, and it was still twenty or thirty thousand soldiers who cleaned it up together, and then the Jianmen City was cleaned out. In the end, after counting, a total of 8,000 corpses were cleared, and 2,000 people should have escaped.
All the buildings in the city were smashed, and the army had to continue to live in tents after entering.
Because the city was small, only 60,000 people lived in it. There are still 80,000 or 90,000 troops still living outside.
There are no more stones falling on Jianmen City, and Mo Wuyan at the foot of the mountain in the west also discovered this, and immediately sent those who escaped up the mountain to check the situation. But before he reached the city wall, he saw the banners of the imperial court officers and soldiers erected in the city.
Mo Wuyan was speechless, and he was speechless for a while.
Known as the natural throat of Sichuan, it is said that 10,000 people are stationed and 500,000 troops can't capture Jianmen City, so easily it was taken, and the imperial army did not even damage a single soldier.
It's so ironic. Dong Qixiong captured Jianmen City and injured almost twenty or thirty thousand people, which seemed to him to be a matter of pride, but now, how ridiculous Dong Qixiong's boasting looked.
"Return to Huazhou City." Mo Wuyan made a decision immediately.
Since the imperial court has occupied Jianmen City, there is no point in him staying here. And now his army is in a very disadvantageous position, and the army of the imperial court condescendingly rushes down, and they are finished.
When Mo Wuyan retreated, Zhao Ximei was standing on the west wall and watching them.
Zhao Ximei didn't initiate any action, because the army was also very tired. Although there were no casualties after several days of throwing stones, everyone was participating, and it was normal to be tired under high-intensity work.
What's more, the road down the mountain is also very narrow, and the charging formation cannot be spread, and rushing down will not have any good effect.
The next step is to restore the situation in Sword Gate City. According to Liang Jia's idea, that is, to expand or rebuild Jianmen City a little, otherwise next time someone does the same, Jianmen City will still not be able to defend it.
Liang Jia planned to have people dig caves in the mountains on the north and south sides of the city wall to hide in, and at the same time to have a defensive function.
Zhao Ximei listened to Liang Jia's suggestion, nodded in agreement: "The emperor's idea is good. If someone uses this method to attack Jianmen City in the future, it will not be able to achieve the effect. ”
"Yes. Then Zhao Aiqing looked at the arrangement. Of course, at this stage, everything is still dominated by the surrender. ”
Zhao Ximei nodded, and then went down to make arrangements.
The army repaired in Jianmen City for two days, and then left Jianmen and headed for Huazhou City.
In Yizhou City, after the soldiers sent back by Mo Wuyan to report the situation finished speaking, the hall immediately fell silent.
Dong Qixiong's face was in disbelief, Tian Fuxin's face was shocked, Liu Zhongzhi's face was complicated, and everyone present also had complicated expressions.
In the eyes of Dong Qixiong and others, Jianmen City is so difficult to conquer, and it took the imperial court to take it in just three or four days, which is also incredible, right? Dong Qixiong subconsciously thought that Zhao Sanlazy had surrendered. Otherwise, how could Sword Gate City be taken so quickly?
"That, how difficult it is to fight Jianmen City, I believe that the people who follow me know that the imperial army was taken down so quickly, and Zhao Sanlazy didn't even escape, which is very unreasonable." Dong Qixiong said.
"Your Majesty, General Zhao didn't flee back, he either died in battle or fled elsewhere." Liu Zhongzhi made a guess, but this guess was obviously a little provocative.
Tian Fuxin glanced at Liu Zhongzhi and said to Dong Qixiong: "Your Majesty, let's send someone to verify the situation first." ”
