Chapter 141: The Power of Gunpowder Capture the City
"Alright, get out! This thing is so tight! Cheng Yanjin saw that the two big wooden barrels were set up, and quickly asked people to retreat, this thing is not fun to blow up.
"Old Dou, when the gap opens, I will be responsible for leading people to rush in and capture the nearest city gate, and go down to the city before they come to their senses, you take people to guard the gap, just in case!" Although I have seen the power of that thing, but after all, it is just an experiment, and I haven't done an experiment with the real city wall, I don't know if these components can blow up a gap in the city wall, if it is blown up, how big the gap will be, these are unknown, but one thing is certain, that is, once there is a disturbance here, then the main force of the rebels will definitely kill here, so he must seize this opportunity to seize a city gate, if it can't be captured, then this gap is the only way to retreat, Therefore, holding the gap is a matter of life and death for them.
"Don't worry, I promise to keep it!" Dou Jiande patted his chest and assured that he also knew the importance of this matter, although he was likely to face the crazy counterattack of the rebels, but he had no choice, he had to hold on, and he could not mobilize the soldiers who were attacking the city to come over to support, otherwise the casualties would be even worse! At least the rest of the siege will hold back a large part of the rebel army.
"Bang!!" There was a loud bang, and the whole earth seemed to be shaking, except for Cheng Yanjin, who was prepared, everyone suddenly felt that they were deaf, even if they were prepared, their hands and feet were weakened, after all, they were hit head-on, and they were also underestimated in advance, Cheng Yanjin was homesick and hurried, so he didn't retreat too far.
"What's going on! What's going on?! There was a loud bang there! After Bai Zixi came back to his senses, he wanted to find the source of this loud noise.
"General, it seems that it came from the southwest corner of the city, and his subordinates should see the fire!"
"Southwest? Check it out! Bai Zixi was uneasy in his heart, that loud noise was really terrifying, just one sound made the entire offensive and defensive sides completely stop fighting, looking at the Qingzhou army that had no movement, Bai Zixi was also praying, hoping that it was not the Qingzhou army to make a come, if it was really troublesome, but there was still luck in his heart, after all, if the Qingzhou army made a move, then Cheng Xiade could not be unprepared, and the reaction was exactly the same as them.
"Rush!" When the smoke of gunpowder had not yet dissipated, Cheng Yanjin couldn't wait to lead people to rush over, such a big movement, it was no problem to blow up the city wall, but he didn't know how big the gap was, so Cheng Yanjin didn't wait for the gunpowder smoke to dissipate before leading people to rush.
When they got closer, everyone gasped, and the city wall several feet high was directly blown out of a gap that could accommodate three or four people to pass side by side, but they couldn't care about it now, and it was the most important thing to hurry up and take the city.
"Let's go! To the South Gate! Cheng Yanjin didn't want to think about it, so he rushed to the south city gate with people, the south city gate is the closest to this, so the rebels on the city wall are definitely the first to bear the brunt, and they don't come back to their senses so quickly, so that they can exchange the minimum price for the biggest opportunity.
"Continue the siege!!" After Li Henglie came back to his senses, he continued to order the siege, because Cheng Yanjin said that unless he gave his order, he could not stop the siege, and Li Henglie absolutely carried it out.
"Cheer up, the enemy is coming, defend me!" Bai Zixi was extremely flustered, the enemy was desperate to attack, so it means that the previous movement was made by them, otherwise it would be impossible for them to launch an attack, but I don't know what the situation is over there.
"General. Oh no! The walls have collapsed, and the enemy army has entered the city! The man who had gone to check on came back to report, but of course he didn't know what the consequences of his shouting were. There was a riot on the city wall after only a while, and what was the point of holding on to it after the city wall collapsed? The panicked faces were unusually clear under the light of the torches. After the loud noise, Bai Zixi ordered the torch to be lit in order to clear the fear in the hearts of his subordinates, and the situation was controlled, but now everyone did see the fear in each other's hearts.
"Panic what! Adjutant General! You take someone to guard here, and Ben will take someone to see it! If you want to take the city, it's not that simple! Bai Zixi said with a hideous face, the extraordinary anger in his heart No matter what, first plug the gap and then talk about it, as for the enemy troops who have entered the city, then slowly clean it up.
"Hurry up and hold on! The archers find their positions and wait for the rebels to come and shoot freely, while the rest of the group looks for suitable stones and attacks with flying stones! Dou Jiande gave orders one after another, the gap was opened, but it was not easy to guard, there was no condescending advantage, and there were no large-scale city defense equipment, so he just wanted to delay some more time, so that Cheng Yanjin had time to take a city gate.
The atmosphere of waiting was about to condense, and everyone's breathing was a little heavy, and even the sound of heartbeats could be heard. However, the atmosphere did not last long, as the sound of messy and hurried footsteps could be faintly heard.
"Ready! Throw me as fast as you can! Dou Jiande ordered, and in their hands the stones that were clenched into fists were deadly weapons for the rebels without armor, and they were almost inexhaustible.
"The gap is there, plug it quickly! Kill!! Bai Zixi's eyes were sharp, and he saw the dark gap like a big mouth eating people from afar, and gave the order to attack, but he had no choice, he had to plug the gap, otherwise the city would not be protected, let alone his life!
"Kill the enemy freely!" Dou Jiande decisively gave an order after seeing the rebels attacking, and he roared towards the rebels with stones mixed with arrows.
"Ahh ~”
The sound of pain comes and goes, although it doesn't cost much life, but almost everyone can be hit by such a stone, although it is not fatal, but it is impossible to move for a short time, after all, being hit by a stone is a bowl-sized wound.
"Rush over! They don't have many bows and arrows! "Bai Zixi saw the enemy attacking with stones, he knew that the other party was not prepared, at least there was no extra bow and arrow to stop him, although the power of the stone was also full, but after all, the killing was insufficient, as long as he and others rushed over, with the advantage of numbers, he won hand-to-hand combat at close range.
"Prepare to throw a gun!" Dou Jiande gave an order, and all the soldiers took off their throwing guns from their waists. "This is what Cheng Yanjin learned from Li Jingzhan and Yang Xuangan, and when he came out with the troops this time, he specially asked Li Jing for 20,000 guns, and now it comes in handy.
The battle for the gap is being fiercely staged, and the battle for the city wall has also entered a white-hot state, and Cheng Yanjin did not expect that the rebels could be so tenacious under the threat of death.
"Hurry up! Hurry up again!! "Cheng Yanjin has been urging the troops to move forward because he is worried about Dou Jiande.
"Quickly get rid of the rebels in the city gates! Hold the ladder and do not let the rebels come down. Cheng Yanjin saw that he couldn't completely take the city gate and city wall for a while, so he had to take the city gate first, block the stairs to prevent the rebels from coming down, and after opening the city gate, the situation could change.
Time passed minute by minute, and someone fell every second! The battle of the siege, the battle of seizing the gate, and the battle for the gap were released at the same time, and the entire city was in chaos.
"Open the door!!" Cheng Biting Jin said as soon as he knocked down the last rebel in the city gate.
"Squeak~!" The sound of the gate opening, like a muffled thunder, broke the entangled state, and the gate of Rencheng finally opened!
