Chapter Eighty-Four: The City Is Broken
By the time it was time, it was already very close to dawn, and the edge of the sky in the far east had begun to gradually white, and Xiao Tianjian came to a trench that was only more than two hundred steps away from the city wall.
At this time, the gopher was squatting on the ground, lying on the edge of the ditch, looking at the tall wall of Kaifeng City in the distance like a giant beast entrenched in front of everyone.
When they saw Xiao Tianjian come here in person, the people here hurriedly stood up to salute Xiao Tianjian, but Xiao Tianjian raised his hand to stop him and said, "You're welcome, it's not safe to stand up, let's squat!" By the way, how's the preparation? ”
"Commander, you're all ready! Ignition at any time! Just wait for the marshal to give the order! The gopher looked excited, people have a desire to destroy, looking at such a tall city wall that seems to have an impregnable general wall, about to be destroyed in his hands, the gopher seems very excited, he didn't even blink a glance all night, just waiting for this moment.
Xiao Tianjian silently calculated the time in his heart, and then recalled the whole arrangement, and felt that there was nothing missing, so he looked towards the east, at this time, the sky in the sky had lit up with a white line, and soon the sky would be brightened.
"Good! Then do it! Remember, everyone retreats as soon as the fire is lit, it's not safe here, and make sure no one is left here, whether it's success or failure. Xiao Tianjian looked down at the carefully placed lead on the ground.
The gopher jumped up excitedly, and immediately whispered: "The last general obeys!" Please retreat first! And the rest of the people withdrew! The end will be ignited! ”
Xiao Tianjian nodded and waved his hand to let the others start to retreat, squatted down and said, "I'll go with you!" Let's start the fire! ”
The gopher saw that Xiao Tianjian had a resolute attitude, knowing that he often liked to rush to the front line many times, so he didn't say much, reached out and took out a fire fold from his arms, and after shaking it, he took a deep breath, picked up the lead on the ground, and went up.
"Boom ......" The medicine twist flashed sparks and then began to burn, winding like a small fire snake, and soon burned into a tunnel full of sandbags, and finally disappeared into a bamboo pipe that had been opened, and only green smoke was coming out of the mouth of the bamboo pipe.
"Damn! Come on! Xiao Tianjian couldn't be calm this time, stood up and slapped the gopher, turned around and ran away along the traffic trench.
Don't run? What a big egg! This is thousands of catties of granular gunpowder two hundred steps away, once the explosion is so powerful that he knows that even a shock can shatter people's internal organs, it is really too dangerous here.
The gopher also knew that it was powerful, and he didn't need Xiao Tianjian to remind him, so he also jumped up, and the guards such as the iron head also followed the girl and ran wildly, and the group ran out of the smoke for a long time, until they entered a safe area before stopping, everyone lay next to the trench, showing half of their heads and began to look nervously towards the city wall.
At this time, all the attacking teams had been sorted out and stood up, standing in the middle of the trench one by one, waiting for the order to attack to come down.
"Don't stick to the side of the trench, the explosion will shake very badly in a while, don't get hurt, plug your ears and open your mouth! Don't ask why, pass it on as soon as possible and let everyone know! Try not to touch the edge of the ditch with your body! Xiao Tianjian suddenly thought of a question.
You must know that although they are now a few hundred steps away from the city wall, there will be a violent vibration after the violent explosion, lying on the edge of the trench is likely to be shocked and injured, and the huge roar will hurt the ears, this is not clear to others, Xiao Tianjian can be very clear, so he hurriedly ordered.
When the orders were handed down one by one, everyone hurriedly stood in the middle of the trench, and one by one opened their mouths wide and plugged their ears with their fingers.
Time suddenly slowed down for a while, and every second seemed to be longer than the previous minute, and the officers and soldiers in the city still fired two cannons outside the city from time to time, but they were obviously a little relaxed, after all, nothing happened all night, and the officers and soldiers were indeed a little tired after tossing all night, and they were all leaning against the city wall at this time, and many people were yawning with their mouths wide open.
I don't know how long it took, anyway, the sky was getting brighter and brighter, and when the faces could already be seen clearly on the other side, everyone suddenly felt the ground under their feet shaking violently, and everyone felt as if they were being bounced up by the ground, and many people were shocked to the ground on the spot and fell into a rolling gourd.
And more people have been staring at the city wall in the distance, they all saw that the city wall suddenly seemed to jump upward, as if alive, began to become undulating, and this section of the city wall immediately spewed out a lot of smoke and dust, and then fell down as a whole, and suddenly began to collapse, at this time a large cloud of gunpowder smoke spit out from the cracks in the city wall, and then more masonry dust soared into the sky. It can even be seen that many officers and soldiers on the city wall also flew into the sky mixed with these debris, and many officers and soldiers were directly shaken down from the city wall, and fell heavily at the foot of the city wall, obviously these people could not survive.
A huge explosion sounded like a huge thunder on the flat ground, rolling in all directions, and then the smoke and dust emitted from the city wall radiated in all directions, and everyone quickly lowered their heads and closed their eyes, and the air flow fell on everyone's body with the sand next to the trench, and immediately pushed some people down in the trench.
"Collapsed! The walls are falling! Ha ha! Bah Bah Bah ...... "The gopher is no longer as calm as before, like a child jumped up, shouted wildly, and then spit out the dust in his mouth hard, just now Xiao Tianjian asked everyone to open their mouths, just to see the city wall collapse, when the air surge came, everyone was still open their mouths, and as a result, they didn't eat less soil, and their mouths were full of earthy smell at this time, and they were terrible.
Xiao Tianjian also spat at the foam, shaking his body, the sand and soil fell to the ground with a bang, everyone became disgraced like a native, many people's faces were still very ugly, obviously frightened by such a violent explosion, fortunately, the war horses of the Xingtian Army were pulled far away in advance, otherwise this big explosion would have shocked the horses.
But before most of the people came to their senses, there was another tremor in the direction of the western city wall farther away, and after a while, there was another loud bang, and a huge cloud of gunpowder smoke was slowly rising from the west of the city.
For a while, there were still messy things falling from the sky, there were broken bricks and clods of soil, and there were even some broken arrows and the like, and some people were even hit by a broken leg, and everyone was scared at this time, this explosion was too powerful! Fortunately, they were ordered to assemble in a trench a few hundred paces outside the city, and if they were close to the city walls, it is estimated that even they would be forced to fly together.
Xiao Tianjian stretched out his head to take a look, although most of the originally tall and neat Kaifeng city wall was still standing in place at this time, but the section of the city wall he faced had completely collapsed and become a pile of ruins, as if a giant dragon had been cut off by a waist.
"Kill!" Xiao Tianjian roared wildly.
At this time, the trumpeter who followed him also reacted immediately, grabbed the brass trumpet on his waist and blew it violently, and suddenly there was a loud and passionate brass trumpet outside the city, after the trumpet sounded, they sounded like thunder war drums behind them, and after shaking off the sand on his body, he raised the big gun in his hand to the sky, and also shouted: "Brothers, the destruction of the city is at this time!" Kill me with me! ……”
Among the starting teams this time, the five battalions of the left side of the revolution all got a share, and they were divided into two sides to attack, and they also selected the elite generals under their command, and they entered the place where they started as early as last night, just waiting for this moment to come.
With the sound of drums and trumpets, large flags were also erected in the trenches, and countless soldiers followed these banners, surging like a surging torrent in the trenches, towards the gap in the collapsed city wall.
Before they could rush out of the trench, the artillery arrays arranged outside the city roared first, and outside the location of the fixed blasting of the east and west city walls, Xiao Tianjian arranged many kinds of artillery, before the attacking team entered the gap, they had to provide a large-scale fire coverage for the attacking team, and clean up the remnants of the enemy army in the gap again.
Countless cannonballs whistled into the gap, anyway, through the ruins, you can't see the situation inside, all the artillery is a high-angle shooting method, the cannonballs just into the gap in the city, as for the people can't hit it, I don't know, but as long as the officers and soldiers in the city try to block the gap in the gap, then it is inevitable to be hit by the cannonballs, with the ability of the officers and soldiers, if the artillery is not messy, it is hell.
The entire Kaifeng City was like a pot boiling at this time, everywhere was the dust raised when the cannonballs landed, and everywhere was the scene of houses falling down, and a large number of Xingtian troops began to pour out of the trenches, shouting what the sky shook and rushed towards the gap.
At this time, the officers and soldiers in the city had not yet come to their senses, many of them were shocked to the ground, bleeding from their mouths and noses, and their eyes were dull, and some of them were shocked to death on the spot, lying on the ground bleeding from the seven holes, and many artillery pieces also fell crookedly on the city wall.
But there are also people who already know what happened, looking at the fallen section of the city wall more than 100 steps wide, and they don't know what to do for a while, they didn't think that the thief army might blow up the wall, but they didn't expect that the thief army would use so much gunpowder to blow up the city wall, and the power is so huge, anyone who is a little sober will know that after the cover of the city wall, they are already finished.
