Chapter 414: The City is Broken

An army of 200,000 besieged Jinyang, this is a hard-fought war, and there is no luck at all.

Gao Huaide oversaw the army to attack the east city, Yang Ye to oversee the army to attack the north city, Han Tong to attack the west city, and Wang Quanbin to attack the north city.

The so-called encirclement of three is missing one, and in this battle, there is no such thing as a non-existent.

Liu Chong had no way to run, or rather, he didn't want to run at all. In Jinyang City, not to mention a person, even if it is a dog, they are all stationed in the city.

There is no other choice, if they lose Jinyang, they Shatuo will be completely finished.

All the people in the city, especially those Shatuo people, they know this better, many people have lived in Jinyang for generations, their ancestors followed Li Keyong to run rampant in the world, exterminate the Huangchao uprising, exterminate Zhu Wen, for decades, Shatuo soldiers have not been afraid of anyone!

Come on!

Fight to the death!

The entire Jinyang was shrouded in thick sadness, and everyone was full of energy to fight to the end.

For Da Zhou, this is not the case.

As early as the beginning of the founding of the country, the Northern Han Dynasty colluded with the Khitan to go south and plague the Central Plains.

The Khitan was defeated, and they still refused to give up, and even wanted to dig the Yellow River and flood the Central Plains, how vicious their intentions were!

If the Northern Han Dynasty is not destroyed, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!

Knock knock!

The ballista fired by the bed crossbow fell on the Yangma City in the outer circle of Jinyang, exploding violently and kicking up a burst of dust.

I have to say that Jinyang, which has been operating since the Tang Dynasty, is really easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is very good to have a moat outside other cities, Jinyang not only has a moat, outside the moat, there is also a circle of sheep and horses, and it is a moat outside the city.

In this way, layer by layer, the majestic Jinyang is firmly guarded.

It's really not easy to get in!

"Boom, boom!"

Han Tong never wanted to die in battle, he carried a command knife in his hand, and every time he swung it, a round of ballistas was fired, which exploded into dust and cracked bricks.

The soldiers behind the city of sheep and horses suffered heavy losses and were dead at the head of the city.

After attacking for an hour, Han Tong raised his sword and shouted.

"Rush! "

The soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty carried the ladder and rushed up, they crossed the moat, climbed the ladder, and rushed into the city of sheep and horses. I thought there weren't many living people inside, but from the pile of bricks and tiles came out of countless Shatuo soldiers, some of them were seriously wounded, but they still screamed and rushed to kill, desperate.

The Zhou soldiers attacked three times in a row, but they were all beaten back.

Han Tong was furious, he personally carried a knife and a shield, and rushed to the front.

The eyes of the Yanzhou soldiers under his command are red, who are these men from the yellow earth afraid of! They braved the rain of arrows, rushed into the sheep and horse city, fought hard all night, killed more than 2,000 Shatuo soldiers, and a section of the sheep and horse city in the southwest of Jinyang fell into the hands of Zhou soldiers.

Han Tong commanded the men and horses, set up ballistas in Yangma City, and continued to bombard Jinyang.

In addition to this, he sent sappers, carrying explosives, several shocks.

The people of the city also played with their lives, they watched day and night, and when they found the Zhou soldiers approaching, they immediately poured down the prepared gold juice.

The hot feces fell on the body, scalding the skin and flesh, even if it was not fatal for the time being, after going back, it would be infected by the wound and rotten to death.

The sappers who were splashed head-on went crazy in despair, picked up the explosive bag, rushed to the city wall, ignited and exploded, after the explosion, the bones of the sappers were gone, and the green bricks of Jinyang City were blown down a few pieces, and there was almost no damage.

……

All the other sides are fighting hard to attack the city, and it is no worse than Han Tong.

It took ten days before and after, and the Yangma City on the periphery of Jinyang was completely lost. The army had rushed to the city, and all the soldiers, day and night, stormed the city.

The people inside are equally desperate, one day, two days, three days, five days...... There were fewer and fewer young men on the city, and many young and old faces appeared, and even healthy women carrying weapons went up to the city.

The Zhou soldiers outside the city were not easy, these days, there were no more than 10,000 wounded alone, and more than 20 generals were lost in the siege.

"The old horseman is really like an iron stone, and I just refine his quality!"

Chai Rong decisively issued an order, and the soldiers who had already prepared dug up the Fenshui, rolled the river, and rushed to Jinyang, where the west and south walls were surrounded by floods, and half of Jinyang was soaked in floods.

"Go and send a letter to Liu Chong, let him come and surrender immediately!"

The messenger went, and for half a day, there was no news.

Chai Rong gritted his teeth, and finally issued an order, "Ye Qing, let's do it!" ”

Ye Hua nodded, and there was no hesitation in his eyes. Ci is not in charge of the army, in the face of the Shatuo people, there is no sympathy, you just wait to enjoy the monstrous anger of the Great Zhou!

Just above Fenshui, a number of boats appeared, carrying sealed wooden barrels.

The soldier uncovered the barrel and poured the black liquid inside onto the surface of the river.

Along the river, these black liquids flowed under the city walls, and even some of them, through the water gates, entered the city. It was a night operation, and the defenders of the city were not aware of it at all, and by the time they smelled the pungent smell, it was already late!

"Raise the fire!"

Tens of thousands of torches were held high, illuminating the west city of Jinyang as if it were day.

Ye Hua personally commanded the people.

In front of him, lined up, there were a thousand bed crossbows!

"Launch!"

Thousands of gunpowder canisters flew towards the head of Jinyang City.

The gunpowder volley exploded, and the red-hot temperature ignited the ignition oil on the water.

In an instant, the flames soared into the sky, and the flames soared.

The thick black smoke blinded the eyes of the soldiers defending the city, and they were choked and coughed constantly, and the strong smell and scorching temperature made them unable to breathe at all.

"Shoot!"

Ye Hua's face was expressionless and continued to order.

Da Zhou, who has gunpowder and oil, overcame difficulties and did not have too many difficulties.

No matter how strong the city is, it can't withstand the attack of gunpowder. Otherwise, after entering the era of hot weapons, why would no one build the city wall?

Ironically, the two dynasties of the strong Han and Tang dynasties did not master gunpowder technology, and could only rely on cavalry to run rampant in the world. And the two songs, who mastered the gunpowder, lost the most valuable war horse.

Even if there is gunpowder, it can only be used to defend the city, so much so that many people forget that gunpowder is the best weapon of attack!

"Get on the trebuchet!"

The huge trebuchets were pushed outside the city of Jinyang, and the huge iron bullets smashed into the city, and the destructive power of these trebuchets was even more amazing than that of the ballistas.

The iron pellets, which weighed thirty pounds, were filled with explosives, and when they exploded, the air wave was enough to destroy the green bricks on the city wall.

The sturdy Jinyang city wall was peeled off layer by layer, revealing the fragile inside.

"Get on the sand boat!"

Another siege weapon was taken out.

Releasing water to flood Jinyang is only the first step, and after having water, the tactics that Ye Hua can use become extremely rich.

He converted a group of fishing boats, filled them with gunpowder, and with the current, the ships quickly approached the city walls. In the bow there was an iron chisel that could pierce the city walls.

When the ships were connected to the city walls, the ballistas covered them, and the sound of violent explosions was earth-shattering...... Fishing boats exploded and gunpowder was used at any cost.

As a result, the tall Jinyang City has encountered the greatest threat in history.

Under the constant fire, blisters, and explosions, the walls cracked.

More floodwaters flowed into the city, and from the breaches, bricks and stones continued to fall, smashing into the floodwaters and splashing water. The people of the city have to admit that the city walls cannot provide them with safe protection.

It was a very fatal discovery, and the tragic and determined military spirit was shaken.

Liu Chong sat in his palace, which used to be the official residence of the envoy of the Hedong Jiedu, which was very narrow and cramped, and was not suitable for being a palace at all. Liu Chong has dreamed more than once that he will enter Kaifeng, occupy more land, have a more luxurious capital, revitalize the Shatuo foundation, and reign over the world......

Although he also knew that it was not very realistic, there was a dream that was the most beautiful, and Liu Chong was looking forward to a miracle.

It's a pity that what he is waiting for is a catastrophe!

It's been almost six years, and all the hair that was still black has turned white, an old face, full of wrinkles, and cloudy eyes.

The aging body can't even lift a little strength.

He could only sit and wait, waiting for the coming of destruction!

I don't know how long I sat there, boom, there was a loud bang, Jinyang City finally couldn't bear the torment of water and fire, and the loose masonry began to collapse under the beating of explosives.

Zhou Bing killed in......

"Your Majesty, let's go!"

A group of ministers rushed in, and they ran to Liu Chong, weeping bitterly, and asked His Majesty to leave.

Liu Chong shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Although the world is big, where is our place?" ”

Oh, yes!

Where do we stay?

Hedong is over, the Khitan is defeated, is it possible that we will join the party, do they dare to compete with the Great Zhou?

Now, where else can I escape?

"I won't go, back then, the king of Jin Li Keyong led 30,000 Shatuo cavalry, with Jinyang as the foundation, to compete for the world...... This place is the place where Shatuo Longxing and the place where Shatuo perishes! All Aiqing, with me, we will die in the war together! ”

Liu Chong suddenly pulled out the sword of the Son of Heaven and rushed out, and the other ministers of civil and military affairs, looking at each other, also knew that there was no way out, so they had to raise their weapons one after another, and with Liu Chong, they killed out.

"It is a blessing for the ministers to be able to fight to the death with His Majesty, and I have fought with Zhou Bing!"

"Yes, even if we die, we will bite off a piece of Guo Rong's meat!"

The monarchs and ministers of the Northern Han Dynasty shared the same hatred and hatred, and the tragic atmosphere was permeated...... At this moment, someone suddenly ran over, "Your Majesty, something is wrong, the horse commander Zhenjun has surrendered the city!" ”

"What?"

When Liu Chong heard the news, his body shook and he almost fell!

Anyone can surrender, but the horse can't surrender, you are a Shatuo person, I am my son-in-law, how dare you betray me? Liu Chong had the feeling that he had fed his daughter to the dog.

"Brute, shameless brute!" He scolded, "If you dare to surrender, don't blame me for being rude!" ”

Liu Chong nodded his hand and called a few people over, "You go to the Horse Mansion and kill all the family members of that beast!" Not a single one to stay! ”

The subordinates were stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty, the princess is still ......"

"What a princess!" Liu Chong's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared angrily: "Kill, kill them all!" His subordinates did not dare to disobey, so they could only take the order, but as soon as he ran far, a group of Great Zhou cavalry rushed from the main road.

The leader is Zhang Yongde, the concubine of the Great Zhou, and next to Zhang Yongde, it is Liu Chong's concubine Zhenjun, who is carrying a bloody head in his hand.

"Liu Chong's traitor, old horseman, your daughter was slaughtered by me!" Zhenjun raised his hand and threw the head over, without feeling the slightest distress......
