Chapter 157 - Take Chang'an City
"This..."
Zhao Fan watched the crossbow bolt fall into the city in a daze, and couldn't help the black line at one end, fortunately it was not ignited just now, otherwise it would have to blow up the innocent people in the city.
"Your Majesty, General, this... It was an accident..."The strong man who operated the hand shake wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said curtly.
"It's okay, do it again, this time with the angle lower." Zhao Fan patted his forehead and said a little speechlessly.
"What are you still doing in a daze, haven't you heard Your Majesty's words?" Zhao Wei frowned, kicked the corner of the strong man, and said helplessly.
"Huh? Oh! Yes yes yes ... The villain is tuned! The strong man was kicked by Zhao Wei, and immediately reacted, touched his head and said.
As he spoke, he shook his hand again, and with a clattering sound, the arrow slowly lowered again and aimed at the distant city wall.
"Shoot the arrows, what are you waiting for?"
With Zhao Wei's urging, the crossbow arrow was shot out again, this time it did not fly into the city, but did not fly far, and it was inserted straight into a moving well, which was instantly broken in half from the middle and fell straight to the ground, fortunately there was no one on the well, otherwise it would be miserable.
"Aren't you an undercover agent sent by the enemy?" Zhao Wei frowned, pulled out his sword with a pout, and said viciously.
"Don't, General, slippery hands, slippery hands!" The strong man shook his head desperately, and this time without waiting for Zhao Wei to speak, he raised the angle of the crossbow cart again, and neatly put the crossbow arrow on it and shot it.
This time, I finally didn't shoot again, and I saw the crossbow arrow flying forward leisurely, and finally rushed to the wall of Chang'an City.
"I said that you are a cheap guy, you can't shoot if you don't draw your sword, and when you go to Lord Zhang to receive a reward after the battle, you will say that I said it." Zhao Wei glared at the strong man, slowly put away his long sword, and said leisurely.
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, General!" The strong man was very excited when he heard this, and he kept thanking the two of them, and the whole person was about to jump.
You must know that the reward of the Heavenly Mandate Army is extremely rich, as Zhao Wei said casually, the reward is at least ten taels of gold, which is enough to buy dozens of acres of fertilizer and water!
"The army obeys the order, adjust all the ballistas to this angle, don't fire first, don't fire first!" Zhao Fan looked at these two living treasures, glared at the two of them helplessly, and then pointed to the debugged ballista, turned around and shouted to the people beside him.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After a busy while, all the ballistas adjusted their angles, and the earthen rocket launchers were put on the ballistas, and the strong men frantically pulled the turntable and pulled all the bowstrings, just waiting for Zhao Fan to give an order, and ten thousand arrows could be fired at once.
"General Zhao, Mingjin collects his troops!" Zhao Fan nodded with satisfaction and said to Zhao Wei beside him.
"Yes!"
A sound of gold sounded, and the soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army who were under the city of Chang'an were stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted, put away their weapons one after another, and slowly retreated behind each other's cover, although they retreated, the formation did not have any rout, everything was in order, so that the defenders on the city did not dare to have any idea of pursuit.
"Phew, what kind of Mandate of Heaven Army, I can't see it, it's just a waste of fame!" Yang Chongben looked at the Heavenly Mandate Army slowly retreating under the city, and said with some disdain.
"It's just that, in front of the general, what the Mandate of Heaven Army is just a joke." The adjutant general on the side smiled and said flatteringly.
"If it weren't for the big gap in numbers, General Ben would definitely take people out to kill them, so that these chickens and dogs could see the power of General Ben!" Yang Chongben nodded and said with a smug expression.
"General, the enemy's crossbow arrows are so powerful that they have shot cracks in the city walls." The gate keeper glanced at the city wall at his feet, and said with some trepidation.
"What are you afraid of, this city wall is several feet thick, how can it collapse because of this little thing!" Yang Chongben glared at the guard fiercely and said coldly.
"Yes, the general is right, the last general is too worried." The guard was glared at Yang Chongben, couldn't help but shrink his neck, and said stupidly.
While a few people were talking, the soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven had already dropped their siege equipment and slowly withdrew into their own formation.
"Ignition!" When Zhao Fan saw that the soldiers had withdrawn, he raised his arm and waved it fiercely, and shouted loudly, "Release the arrow!" ”
"Woohoo!"
With Zhao Fan's order, the strong men rang the trigger of the ballista one after another, and countless crossbow arrows wrapped in sparks rushed wildly towards the Chang'an city wall, and instantly nailed to the city wall.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
With the dazzling light flashing, a violent explosion sounded one after another, and a cloud of smoke enveloped the entire Chang'an city wall, and after the smoke dissipated, the section of the city wall that was hit by the earthen rocket squad had collapsed in the stunned eyes of everyone.
Zhao Fan looked at the gap that was blown up. He nodded with satisfaction, then drew the long sword at his waist and shouted, "The whole army is attacking!" ”
Tens of thousands of Heavenly Mandate troops rushed out as soon as possible and rushed towards Chang'an City frantically.
"It's... This... This..."
Yang Chongben, who was knocked to the ground by a wave of fever, sat up, his fingers trembling and pointing to the collapsed city wall, but he couldn't say anything.
"General! Checkmate! Chang'an City can't hold it anymore, let's withdraw quickly! An adjutant general supported Yang Chongben, who was full of excitement, and pointed to the Heavenly Mandate Army that was rushing towards the city again, and shouted eagerly.
"How so... How can this be..."Yang Chongben was stunned, looking at the soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army who had been jumping from the gap into the city, and muttered to himself at a loss.
"General, let's go, if you don't leave, it'll be too late!" The lieutenant shook Yang Chongben's shoulder again and shouted loudly.
"Withdraw! Remove! Yang Chongben came back to his senses and hurriedly shouted to the soldiers beside him.
"Yes!" Hearing this, several strong soldiers instantly carried Yang Chongben on their shoulders, and under the cover of the personal guards, they fled frantically towards the inner city.
A team of clever soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven, after rushing through the city wall, immediately rushed towards the city gate, and after a crazy fight, the city gate was finally completely opened, and countless soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven poured into Chang'an City from the city gate that was pushed open.
The tsunami-like attack destroyed the defenders' psychological defense line in an instant, especially when the commander had fled, the defenders of Chang'an, who had lost the protection of the city wall, had to silently throw away the weapons in their hands and stay in a corner.
As for some of the soldiers who resisted, they were cut into several pieces by the soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army at the first time, and they could not die anymore.
Zhao Fan, who followed the soldiers into the city, stretched out his palm and gently stroked the somewhat rough city wall, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Chang'an City was finally taken, but the city wall was blown up into this big hole, and an entire section of the city wall collapsed, which couldn't help but give Zhao Fan a headache.
