Chapter 483: Lack of Virtue Brings Smoke
The ugly time is about four o'clock in the morning, the full moon is setting in the west, it is the darkest time of the day, and at this time, people's vigilance is greatly reduced, which is conducive to launching a surprise attack. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info In addition, most of the inhabitants of the city are asleep, which can reduce the damage to civilians during the siege.
"Launch!" Three blood-red fireworks exploded in the air, and the lights suddenly lit up in the wall of the Song army outside the northern city, and Huang Xianyao, the commander of the former army, saw the signal that the siege had begun, and ordered the rocket to be fired.
'Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......' The rocket launch position deployed in the city walls immediately burst into flames, and nearly 100 rockets rose into the air with a whistling sound, and the position was also submerged in the smoke of gunpowder. Huang Xianyao on the high platform watched the fire dragons cut an arc in the air, crossed the high city wall, and fell down violently, followed by a violent explosion.
"Report to the commander, the rocket has covered the intended target!" The Guantong hand on the watchtower as high as seven or eight feet high, reported.
"Second launch, the target remains the same!" Huang Xianyao ordered again. This time, he was ordered by His Majesty to command the post to feint an attack on the northern city, but if he wanted to fake it, he must attract most of the enemy troops defending the city, cooperate with the main attack launched by the Chinese army in the southern city, and break the city.
To be honest, Huang Xianyao was a little dissatisfied with the second offensive mission, after all, everyone wanted to make a contribution. But he was still a little nervous, this battle was the first major battle experienced since the formation of the former army, and he was facing a fortified city like Quanzhou, and it was the first time he independently commanded a battle in one aspect, so he still had a lack of confidence in his heart. But this battle is not only related to the honor of the front army, but also related to the honor of the entire infantry army, and even the honor of the Shuaifu army, he knows that he can only fight well, and must not let His Majesty down, and cannot let those who have doubts about the ability of the Shuaifu army to attack the fortifications see jokes.
"Report to the commander, there is an enemy army going to the city to defend!" Guan Tongshou said again.
"Order heavy ballista groups to fire and destroy the city's defenses and suppress the enemy's forces; ordered the baggage battalion to prepare for the erection of pontoon bridges; Prepare the First Commander for the attack! Huang Xianyao took a telescope to observe, and after confirmation, he issued three orders in succession.
"Launch!" Heavy ballistas mounted on the high platforms of the city walls also began to fire at the order, targeting the towering towers, the canopies, and the stone throwers and bed crossbows placed on the city, which were the most threatening weapons to the siege.
"Report to the commander, most of the buildings in the area covered by the rockets have been destroyed and a fire has been ignited, and the casualties of the enemy are unknown!" Guantong hand after hand to report.
"Watch carefully, confirm enemy casualties, and fire again in a quarter of an hour!" Huang Xianyao pondered for a moment. Due to the large population in Quanzhou, the density of shops and residences, and the large number of Quanzhou officers and soldiers in the army, everyone understood that the rockets invented by His Majesty were "impossible", so it was recommended not to use rockets during the siege to prevent accidental injury to civilians. But His Majesty insisted on using it against public opinion, and promised that everyone would never abuse it, and when he finished speaking, everyone had to agree, because His Majesty's choice of target was so attractive that even no one could refuse......
"Enemy attack, enemy attack ......" With the landing of the first rocket, the Yuan army realized that this was by no means a fake that would only blow up pieces of paper a few days ago, but a real guy who killed people and killed people, and burned down houses, so they hurriedly sounded the alarm, but felt that something was wrong, and they found that the target of the rocket attack did not seem to be coming to the city defense, but went straight to Yacheng.
"Come on, come ...... man" After Pu Shougeng patrolled the city, he felt that the Song army would not choose the darkest moment to attack the city, and he was seventy years old after all, and he couldn't stand it after tossing for a day, but at this time, it was not interesting to go back to the house, so he found a room in the yamen to rest. Unexpectedly, he was awakened by a loud noise just after being in a daze, he hurriedly got up and rushed out of the house, only the yard was full of smoke and dust and the pungent smell of gunsmoke, and he couldn't see anything except the flash of the explosion.
"What is this?" No one answered, but he was tripped up, Pu Shougeng said angrily, reaching out to push the thing he fell, but touching the slimy thing in his hand.
"Pol huh?!" Pu Shougeng shook his hand in disgust, but he smelled a bloody smell, and then looked at the hundreds of his own guards lying on the ground, and he was shocked and exclaimed, and then saw that the people lying in the courtyard were all his own soldiers, but he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
'Boom! ’
"Oops......" Pu Shougeng immediately panicked, his own soldiers died in the courtyard, so has the Song army already attacked the city? Just as his mind was scrambling to assess the current situation, another explosion sounded in his ears, a heavy rocket pierced the roof and exploded indoors, and before he could scream in pain, he was pushed into the courtyard by the gushing air wave, and he didn't know anything when it was dark.
"Material resources, let me down!" When Pu Shougeng woke up again, to be exact, he should have been woken up by pain, he found that he was being pulled by several pro-soldiers by arms and legs like dragging a dead dog and rushing forward, and his old bones were about to be scattered, and he screamed in pain.
"Governor, it's important to save your life, wait a moment and get out of danger!"
"Ouch, ouch, you...... Are you Katsuo? Looking at the face that was covered with blood stains, Pu Shougeng, who was humming a song, was startled, thinking that he was being dragged to hell by a ghost, and suddenly felt that his body was not in pain, and then he heard the voice of his cronies Sun Shengfu.
"Yes, Governor! The little emperor of the Southern Dynasty was so bad that he actually attacked Yacheng with meteor fire, almost annihilating the head of Quanzhou, but fortunately, the governor was safe! Sun Shengfu said with palpitations.
"Put me down, or I'll die!" Pu Shougeng really couldn't stand it anymore, and said almost pleadingly.
"Good, good!" Sun Shengfu agreed repeatedly, seeing that he was far away from Yacheng, and there happened to be a restaurant next to it, so he smashed the door and carried it in.
"What about the others?" Pu Shougeng drank two sips of water to ease his strength, but he also felt that there was no place on his body that did not hurt, but now that the matter was urgent, he could only force himself to ask questions.
"Governor, Yacheng was attacked by two rounds of meteors, the house collapsed, and there were heavy casualties, and the last general only summoned these dozens of people to save them, and the situation of the others is unknown for the time being!" Sun Shengfu said.
"You immediately mobilize the surrounding soldiers to look for it, and you must rescue the generals!" Pu Shougeng listened to it with a face like ashes, he set an example and stuck to his post last night, and everyone stayed in the yamen when they couldn't go home to sleep, and now they were all stuffed inside. If they lose, they will become the commander of the light pole, and the army is also leaderless, and they can't help but secretly scold the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty for helping you kill those blood-sucking clan moths, are you so immoral and smoking......
