Chapter 504: Qingzhou Changed Hands (3) (Three More Votes)
"Commander, something is wrong!"
"I knew something wasn't right, too!"
Looking at the dense rockets, Liu Yan was a little flustered, and he always felt like something was going to happen.
"Withdraw, withdraw!"
Although he didn't know what the contents of the car were, Liu Yan still ran quickly towards the city wall on the side, away from the city gate.
The soldiers on the city tower were a little unclear, some of them ran away with Liu Jun, and more people stood there looking around, not knowing what was going on.
"Commander Yang, can you do this? A few wooden cars can break through Qingzhou City? Behind the city gate, it was blocked by Qingzhou soldiers with sand and gravel, and if you want to break the city, there is only one way from the city wall. Zhang Chan was a little puzzled.
Cui Anqian also looked at it curiously, and Yang Shihou hurriedly explained, "Cui Shuai, don't worry, whether it will be revealed soon." The last general is not very clear, this is the general sent someone to escort, but it is not difficult to break through Qingzhou City. ”
"Really? Ben Shuai is very curious! ”
Cui An submerged the doubts in his heart and said with a smile.
He had been idle for many years before, although he had heard of the siege weapons in the forbidden army, but he didn't know much about them, he only knew that in addition to the Tiance cannon, there were other siege weapons, but he had never seen them.
It is said that it is only equipped with the Shenji Battalion, and the other forbidden armies are not equipped.
That's all he knows.
Today's forbidden army is all formed by the Holy One. 15 forbidden armies, more than 300,000 people, the cost is not a small number, but it has been formed, and he has to admire.
However, half of the more than 300,000 forbidden troops are indeed Shu Di athletes, and when he thinks of this, he is also a little complacent.
When Cui Anqian took office, the soldiers of Shu were cowardly, otherwise they would not have been beaten to the city of Chengdu by Nanzhao. So Cui An sneaked into the play, and after the court agreed, he recruited many soldiers from Chenzhou and Xuzhou (he had previously served as the envoy of the Zhongwu Army) in the jurisdiction of the Zhongwu Army, mixed with the Shu people, and then transferred the crossbowmen from Hongzhou to form the Huangtou Army.
Although the Huangtou Army only existed for a few years, the cowardly situation of the Shu army was greatly changed and became a strong army.
It can be said that without the support of Shudi, the current forbidden army would not have been formed at all.
And the great change in the appearance of the Shu army is also related to him, so he is naturally a little complacent.
Just when Cui Anqian, Zhu Zhen, Huo Cun and others were curious, there was a sudden loud noise at the city gate.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
With a series of deafening roars, the tall and sturdy city walls of Qingzhou City, which were regarded as impenetrable by Wang Shifan, Liu Cheng and others, suddenly bulged upwards from the city gate, like an air bag like a blower, and was blown up.
The boulders and bricks were scattered by the impact of the gunpowder explosion, and there was a massive collapse at the gates of the strongest city walls.
The scattered fragments of masonry harvested the Qingzhou soldiers who had no time to dodge around, and the soldiers at the city tower directly above the city gate were directly pushed down the city tower by the impact of the explosion.
After the smoke and dust, seeing the scene at the city gate, Cui Anqian and the others, who had been watching the whole explosion process from behind, opened their mouths wide, but they didn't expect that Qingzhou City, which had not been able to be defeated many times before, was collapsed by several wooden carts.
What's on the cart?
Everyone was wondering, if there was such a big killing weapon, wouldn't it be much easier to attack the city in the future?
"Don't look at me, I don't know what it is."
Seeing everyone looking at him, Yang Shihou kept shaking his head.
These cars are naturally loaded with black powder, although it is only black powder, but the quantity is so large, and the city walls of Qingzhou City are not made of marble, yellow granite and other materials, where can they bear it.
Cui Anqian didn't forget his business, and saw that the city wall of Qingzhou City had been blown down nearly ten zhang, and the city tower at the center of the explosion had disappeared.
Although there is no wide open door, the difficulty of attacking the city is much smaller than before.
Cui Anqian waved his right hand, and the rhythmic drum sounded, and the 20,000 infantry troops lined up in front of the formation were divided into several battle formations, carrying ladders and other siege equipment towards Qingzhou City.
As for the soldiers in charge of the gap in the city gate, they were the newly replenished 3,000 forbidden army infantry plus 3,000 Taining troops.
These 3,000 Taining troops are strictly the Xuanwu army, because they are all the troops that Zhu Zhen brought to Taining.
。。。。。。
When Cui Anqian ordered the siege of the city, the defenders of Qingzhou were in a mess.
Liu Jun, who had noticed that something was wrong and left the city tower early, was also dumbfounded when he saw the collapsed city tower in front of him, he didn't understand what could collapse such a long section of the city wall of Qingzhou City.
The towers had long since collapsed, and most of the soldiers on the towers were gone, except for the sound of groans coming from the ruins. The soldiers around were also confused, not knowing what was happening, and did not understand why the city gate had collapsed.
All they heard was a loud bang, a sound they hadn't heard before, like thunder. But the thunder was in the air, and the loud noise was all around them, as if thunder was ringing above their heads.
This kind of power is definitely not possessed by mortals like them, but more like the power that only immortals have.
Although Liu Yan ran fast, he was also very embarrassed, and the dust from the collapse of the city tower made him eat enough, and the whole person was disgraced and very embarrassed.
At this time, the drums of the attack sounded outside the city, and the soldiers hurriedly ran over, "Commander, what now?" The walls were collapsing, and the army outside the city was besieging the city. ”
These pro-soldiers were pale, their feet trembled, and the power of their position was the most terrifying. At the beginning, the Shatuo cavalry was beaten by this new weapon and did not know the direction, no matter how strong the Qingzhou soldiers were, they did not have to go to the Shatuo iron cavalry.
However, compared with these soldiers, Liu Jun's performance is relatively good, and his face is relatively calm. However, if anyone could touch his back, they would find that his back was already soaked, and his legs were trembling slightly, but it was not obvious.
In the face of the attacking imperial army, the Qingzhou soldiers on the city wall were obviously a little flustered, not knowing whether to defend or not.
Looking at the approaching enemy army, Liu Yan hurriedly ordered, "Organize the army to do a good defense." Also, he sent someone to inform the marshal, saying that the city wall had collapsed and Qingzhou City might not be able to hold it. ”
Liu Yan could see from the reactions of these soldiers that these soldiers had been frightened and let them continue to guard Qingzhou City, and it was strange that they could defend it.
But whether to stick to it or not is not something he can decide, only Wang Shifan can decide.
Just as his own soldiers hurriedly ran to report, the three thousand forbidden army infantry and the three thousand Taining army had already arrived at the gap in the collapsed city wall.
Although it is a ruin and inconvenient, the defense of the Qingzhou soldiers is even weaker, or there is no decent defense.
So the 6,000 troops passed through this gap and rushed into Qingzhou City!
