Chapter 492: Red Light in the Night
It is a capital crime to go out of the city without an order, but I don't know how many fathers and sisters will die after burning thousands of years of youth. The head of the Bohai Navy gritted his teeth, beckoned more than 30 of his men and led the horses to prepare to sneak out of the city. If you can save the fire, it is the best, if you can't save it, you have to dig a fire ditch out, at least you have to keep the "evergreen".
The city gate opened, and before more than thirty people could get on their horses, a loud noise suddenly sounded in the town of Huinongjun, which was comparable to the thunder above the nine heavens, and everyone was frightened at once.
There was a commotion in the city, followed by a second loud bang, then a third, and after seven sounds, there were no more explosions, but the flames were so bright that the city was in chaos.
The head of the Bohai Navy looked at the city, and for a while he didn't know whether to go out of the city to fight the fire or go back to the city to fight the fire, and he couldn't figure out what was going on with the seven loud noises.
At this time, the Bohai Navy guard next to the military leader suddenly shouted in Bohai dialect: "What person? ”
The military commander hurriedly went to see it, and he was so frightened that even the roots of his hair stood on end. A large group of enemies wearing heavy armor and hideous armor are surrounding, and the armor looks especially terrifying in the dark night, and it is unknown whether it is a human or a ghost.
"Withdraw." The commander shouted, but a large area of crossbow arrows covered it like a torrential rain, and in an instant more than thirty men and more than thirty horses all fell like hedgehogs.
The Bohai defenders at the head of the city shouted and were about to fall down the city gate, but they saw that the enemy below the city was throwing something at the low city head. The next moment a "boom" explosion sounded, and the already small number of night watchmen on the city wall were almost half emptied at once.
The heavy armored infantry passed the city gate in silence, followed by the Tianci army of the brigade, and there were five strange-shaped side vans in the middle.
Easily occupying the city gates, the Celestial Army quickly pushed towards the city. There are two military camps in the city, and a hundred Jurchen soldiers are stationed in the outer city barracks with a complex puppet army, and the one who leads the army is the "evergreen" Jurchen Meng'an. In the city, including the 300 Jurchens, there were 1,000 cavalry, and the rest were infantry.
At this time, Jurchen Meng'an was sending troops to check the situation in various parts of the city, and to put out fires while maintaining order. If someone makes trouble, there is no need to interrogate and judge the case, and it has always been a one-knife cut to the end, which is simple and worry-free. As for whether he will wronged anyone, Jurchen Meng'an will not care, anyway, it is not the Jurchen who died.
Hearing the explosion of gunpowder shells coming from the direction of the city gate, Jurchen Meng'an immediately became alert, and hurriedly led the cavalry to rush towards the city gate.
The military town was small, and the streets were neither spacious nor bustling, but fortunately it was flat enough for the cavalry to run all the way through.
Jurchen Meng'an took the lead, but saw that there seemed to be a figure shaking in front of him, and there seemed to be a carriage.
"Rush over." Meng An roared in Jurchen words.
No matter who is standing in front of them, they can't block the path of their own cavalry, even if it is the Bohai soldiers, Xi soldiers or Khitan soldiers under his command, Meng'an will not hesitate to urge the horse to step over.
A dark red light suddenly flashed on the dark street, and then a burst of fire erupted, and the roar of the cannon reached the ears of the Jurchen Meng'an. The sound was so loud that it seemed to deaf my ears.
Countless lead pellets, iron beads, and iron nails erupted from the muzzle of the cannon, and the heavenly maiden poured down on the cavalry like scattered flowers. In an instant, the dense cavalry that was galloping at high speed fell in large numbers.
The loud noise neighed the horses that had never been specially trained, and the whole cavalry immediately became a mess.
A Jurchen Mouke pulled the reins hard, and when he glanced forward, he felt a chill in his heart. More than 30 war horses and cavalry fell on the ground, and those cavalry didn't even have time to scream and fell down like wheat, bleeding all over their bodies, and the Jurchen Meng'an, who rushed to the front, died no longer.
Meng An died, and Mou Ke naturally became the highest military rank in the field. He yelled twice and asked the cavalry to control the horse and continue the charge, but by this time another side carriage had already pushed over. Moock immediately saw what it was, as it was close.
There was another loud "boom", and the second light artillery opened fire at close range, and the fifty or sixty cavalry, including Lian Mouke, once again fell down like wheat.
The horses neighed even harder, and the knights on the horses were equally frightened. Many cavalrymen were carried around by war horses, and they couldn't stop their horses at all, and the unlucky ones were directly knocked into the wall, and they could only have half a life left if they didn't die.
More cavalry forcibly pulled their horses and fled back, and the first light guns, which had been reloaded with gunpowder and flowering shells, had no chance to fire.
When the scattered cavalry ran back to the barracks, they found that the camp was also in flames, with shouts of killing and explosions everywhere. Under the reflection of the firelight, it seems that a group of evil spirits wrapped in iron armor can be seen killing in the barracks, devouring the lives of the defenders in the camp.
"Turn around." One of the cavalrymen at the front shouted in Khitan dialect, but because the horse was too fast, and there was a galloping horse team behind him, he didn't dare to stop his horse at all, and it was impossible to stop at once.
"Boom", there was a cannon sound from the side van blocking the gate of the barracks, and the cavalry fell again.
The cavalry behind rushed forward for another while, and only then did they stop their horses. All the cavalry were desperately trying to control the frightened horses and flee to the inner city. Another cannon also fired, and the corpses of men and horses were scattered in another place.
The cavalry fled to the inner city, but the barracks and the city's foot soldiers were screaming and being killed.
At this time, the Tianci army was not so easy, although the composition of these Jin Guobu troops was complex, but they were very fierce. If there were no gunpowder bullets and 300 heavy armor, the casualties of the Tianci Army would definitely not be small.
The inner city of Huinongjun Town occupied a full half of the city, and only 200 Jurchen cavalry and some officials and servants who managed the treasury lived in it.
There were explosions and shouts of killing in the city, but the Jurchen Meng'an, who was stationed in the inner city, did not send troops to support. Because he had only two hundred men under his command, and his duty was only to guard this ridiculously large warehouse. As for the enemy in the outer city, it was naturally strangled by another Meng'an with his troops.
When he saw the panicked cavalry fleeing to the gate of the inner city, Meng'an's anger burned. These guys on war horses were defeated and fled to the gates of the inner city, what is the use of keeping such waste?
I wanted to drive the cavalry in front of the city gate to continue the battle, but Meng An immediately found that the horses of the cavalry were very irritable, as if they were greatly frightened. Disobedient horses are not allowed to ride and fight, and riding disobedient horses will only cost the life of the warrior in vain.
