"Tiancheng, Chen Yu's side is ready, let's go watch the battle too. He had been fighting for three days, and he said that he would be able to break into the city today. "The drums of war outside Jinling City rumbled, Tiance Army has been the fourth day of siege so far, the first three days except for the first day is a temptation, the remaining two days almost let Jinling City completely shrouded in the flames of war, the explosion of explosives bags that continue to roll up echoes with Zhongshan outside the city, the beginning of the city has caused great losses to the soldiers and civilians in the city, and the insoluble explosion in this era has also prompted a great chaos in the city.

However, after Pei Shiji's method was adopted by Zhou Kun, the city defender, the power of the explosive bags also decreased rapidly, and some explosive bags even had the phenomenon that the fuses were soaked and could not explode. But fortunately, this group of people are on the list of Xuan Ying Wei, and they are not afraid that they will pick up the explosives bag and cause the gunpowder to leak.

"Chen Yu, what are you going to do today? Today is the fourth day. I heard that Chai Jia took Suzhou City in five days on the Eastern Front, why can't you be slower than him? Yang Tiancheng came to the command platform and saw that Chen Yu had arrived, and summoned several of his lieutenants to point at Jinling City, and immediately smiled.

"Don't worry, I have already asked Chief of Staff Liu Yang to go to Zhongshan, he said that he will definitely take Zhongshan today, and he will also block the passage for Zhou Bao to escape and capture this guy alive. I was personally responsible for Jinling City, with Hao Datong, Zhang Qishan, and Liao Chengzhi as the vanguard, and I was responsible for breaking into the city after blowing up the city wall. I am responsible for the follow-up army, and I don't believe that after the 100,000 army enters the city, it will not be able to defeat the fish belly army of tens of thousands of people. Speaking of this, Chen Yu was obviously angry and angry: "I have to catch this Xue Mei with my own hands." ”

Wang Houchun knew this guy's resentment, shook his head and said: "I think you are no play, Xiao Si has already set off with the Flying Eagle Brigade, but he said that he is ready to wipe out the heads and brains of Jinling City." I don't think you have much of a chance of winning. Wang Houchun's words were tantamount to adding fuel to the fire for Chen Yu, and almost made this guy jump directly.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and send a signal to attack the city, if you have something to say, let's talk about it after entering the city." Yang Tiancheng stopped the laughter of the two, glanced at the forward troops in front, and waved his hand to let the war drum team behind him give the order.

I saw that the drum sound became extremely rapid in an instant, and the artillery battalion arranged on the front position almost instantly began the final preparations, hundreds of explosive packages were sent to the ballista firing groove, ignited the lead and then quickly projected, the barrel of the naval ship Yangwei moored not far away also began to aim at the city tower, and the order to ignite also came out with the commander's voice, only to hear the explosion completely surround Jinling City in the next moment, this time it was no longer the previous explosions one after another, but the mushroom cloud that appeared almost in an instant, This level of bombardment is the first time even for the Tiance Army itself.

"The mechanical crossbow fires immediately, covering the Demoman's advance." Since most of the mechanical crossbows were transferred to the Zhongshan battlefield, Chen Yu's group army headquarters was only left with a brigade, which was responsible for covering the blasters to bury blasters.

The launch of the mechanical crossbow was also a signal, and I saw that countless people suddenly rushed out of the front position, and began to lay wooden planks along the position of the hidden pile, which turned out to be building a bridge under the noses of the defenders in the city. One by one, the Demoman team jumped into the moat like water rats, paddling forward with a blaster in one hand and the other in the other.

"Send a signal and let the archer troops cover the shot." Chen Yu saw that the Demoman had been dispatched and began to mobilize the archers to support. The arrows of this group of archers were also strapped with small explosive propellants to ensure that the range of the bows and arrows could cross the wide moat of Jinling City.

However, at this time, the city tower is a mess, although there is Pei Shiji's method, but it still can't withstand this level of bombing, although the wet quilt can effectively block the explosive package, but so many numbers together are obviously unbearable, after a few rounds, these wet quilts were blown to pieces, losing the role of covering defense, plus the navy's artillery is not a mere wet quilt can resist, the metal whirlwind brought by the flowering bomb after the explosion of the city tower is enough to tear all the surrounding obstacles to pieces. The Jinling City Tower, which had lost its wet quilt, was once again exposed to the bloody rain, because it had relied on the wet quilt to resist most of the damage, so Zhou Kun did not transfer all the soldiers out of the city wall, but concentrated a large number of troops on the city tower in the hope of being able to counterattack the offensive of the Tiance army. But at this time, this decision caused its troops to suffer a catastrophe. The explosives pack of the Tiance Army and the non-stop flowering bombs swept across the city wall like a tornado, and almost all the soldiers gathered on the city wall were killed, and those who escaped were defeated and retreated. All of a sudden, the northern city wall of the entire Jinling City was no longer guarded by soldiers. And those soldiers waiting in the urn city saw the miserable appearance of the soldiers who escaped, and they were no longer willing to climb the city wall to die, and they were indifferent to the scolding of the generals.

"The court-martials team will immediately go up and kill anyone who disobeys the order." Zhou Kun saw his soldier's angry beard in the back, and he pulled the adjutant general beside him and roared angrily: "You immediately take the military law team to escort the battalions to the city immediately to counterattack the attack of the Tiance army." The guards will come with me, and we will go to the commander to ask for reinforcements. It seems that the Tiance Army is going to play real today. Tell all the brethren that the envoy of the festival said that the reward for killing one soldier of the Tiance Army is 1,000, and the reward for killing four will be 10,000. Zhou Kun's words could be regarded as a little encouragement for the soldiers in front, and after the military law team directly stepped forward and cut down hundreds of soldiers who refused to carry out the order, the others climbed the city wall head-on, hoping that they could escape with their lives.

Not to mention whether Zhou Kun went to Xue Mei to ask for reinforcements, but at this time, the Tiance army made very fast progress without the interference of the defenders in the city, and the bridge-building troops had quickly laid three wooden plank bridges to the center of the moat, and more than 20 members of the first team of the blasting team also successfully sent the blasting canisters to the designated location, leaving half of the people with them to protect them, and the remaining dozen or so people quickly returned to transport the second time.

"Looks like the city wall can be broken today." Yang Tiancheng nodded and said with a smile: "After you enter the city, you have to find a way to get in touch with Xiaohu, the Flying Eagle Brigade is staring at the No. 1 target, and it will be dealt with first." ”

Chen Yu waved his hand and smiled: "Don't worry, I have already told Hao Datong and them, and I promise not to let these guys run away." And I personally commanded the follow-up men and horses, encircling and suppressing these damn town navy. ”

"There are really people who are not afraid of death, Tiancheng, you see that there is a town navy above the city tower. It seems that the other party is starting to fight back, Chen Yu asked the escort team to come forward to cover. The emperor said that the troops that built the bridge this time should be transferred out to form the Zhouqiao troops, so don't lose too much. Wang Houchun had been observing the situation on the other side, and suddenly shouted.

Seeing this, Chen Yu also quickly let the guards behind him give the order, and when the order was transmitted to the front line, the troops had actually reacted on their own, and a team of sword and shield men stepped forward with new iron and steel frame shields to withstand the attack of bows and arrows from Jinling City, while the covering Zhouqiao troops increased their speed, and the wooden planks in the rear were also handed up one by one, speeding up the splicing speed. Both sides are rushing for time, the Tiance army is working hard to erect the boat bridge, and the blasting canisters on the demoman's side are gradually increasing, but as mentioned earlier, the city wall of Jinling City is too strong, and the general number of explosives packs can't pry its foundation at all, so the blasting canisters on the Tiance army's side are constantly accumulating.

"The power of this blaster is still not good, and the equipment department does not know when it will be able to develop more powerful gunpowder." Looking at the Demoman squad constantly shuttling through the moat in front of him, Chen Yu began to mumble again.

Yang Tiancheng and Wang Houchun looked at each other and smiled, ignoring Chen Yu's strange words. However, for a big city like Jinling City, which is almost comparable to a city wall like Chang'an, the power of the blaster is really not good. However, over time, the number of blasters under the walls increased rapidly. At this time, the town navy on the city tower also discovered the movement of the Tiance army, but they did not dare to open the city gate rashly to destroy, so they could only desperately release arrows from the city wall, and other city defense equipment was also pushed out, intending to rely on the condescending advantage to block the breakthrough of the demoman.

"Archer, get on the bridge and shoot me at close range." Hao Datong, who was commanding at the front, saw that the Zhen Navy had focused on the demoman, and hurriedly mobilized archers to come close to support. At the same time, the boat-bridge troops were ordered to speed up and lay planks forward. The north side of the moat of Jinling City is more than 100 zhang wide, the original suspension bridge has three sections and sections, the suspension bridge was demolished by the town navy after the siege of the Tiance army, only the iron cable and the bridge pier remained. But at this time, the boat bridge of the Tiance army had been laid to a distance of less than thirty zhang from the city wall.

Seeing this scene, the blaster no longer waded through the moat, but changed to start from the boat bridge and face forward, and for a while, the bridgeheads of the three boat bridges continued to extend forward, and the arrows that kept flying were also flying towards the city wall, and the sound of arrows with gunpowder propellant whistling one after another, became the deadliest weapon to kill the enemy at this moment, and the town navy on the city tower was completely overwhelmed and could not raise its head.

In this case, all the town navy can rely on is to hide behind the female wall and blindly throw stones to resist the attack of the Tiance army, but this method can obviously only threaten the demoman, and the remaining half of the power cannot be exerted. And the archers who hid behind the castle tower and shot blindly also disappeared under the threat of explosives packs, and they could not appear in front of the Tiance Army in formation.

"The War Drum Corps ordered the whole army to be on alert." Chen Yu watched from the command platform that the boat bridge was already close to the city wall, and many demomen couldn't wait to jump up directly from the boat bridge and jump onto the ground, and began to order the whole army to prepare. And Hao Datong, who was in the front army, personally led the personal guards to stand at the front, waiting for the signal from the front.

"All-army assault." The Demoman began to ignite after accumulating a large number of blasters, and everyone frantically retreated from the ground, and even the archers who were originally responsible for covering the bridge began to hurriedly retreat, almost piling up the blasters that had flooded the city gates in the doorway, and God knows what would blow up. Everyone retreated frantically for more than thirty zhang before turning around and looking at the city wall.

At this time, the town navy on the city wall also discovered the abnormality of the Tiance army under the city, but for a while they didn't know what was going on, only to see that the explosive package that the other party had been firing stopped, and the arrows that rained up also stopped, and many soldiers who survived the catastrophe poked their heads out curiously to see what these guys were doing. But suddenly I felt the city wall under my feet suddenly slammed, and then a shaking of the mountain followed, and the ground under my feet seemed to be pushed up by a huge underground monster. The "boom" powerful explosion rose into the sky, the entire north gate was thrown up like a rag doll, thick smoke billowed up, accompanied by a loud sound like thunder soared into the sky, sand and gravel flying, broken bricks and ruins, everything seemed to have come to another world. And those soldiers of the town navy who were at the center of the explosion were all buried in this huge explosion, and all kinds of rubble, weapons and other things brought up by the explosion became the deadliest weapons after the explosion, killing all the soldiers who were killed in the explosion, and even many soldiers were injured in the Tiance army, which had retreated more than 30 zhang under the city.

When the explosion ended, what was presented in front of everyone was an apocalyptic scene, the city wall that was immobile like a mountain in the past seemed to have been bitten by an ancient beast, the city wall collapsed at the city gate, and extended to the moat, and the urn city in the city was also filled in most of it at once, and the city wall of Jinling City was finally broken under the attack of this epoch-making weapon.

"Assault the whole army, kill me." Hao Datong raised the long knife in his hand and led the team to rush onto the boat bridge. The battle for the broken city began again with the appearance of this voice.

"Jinling City was broken like this, and I don't know if what we did was right or wrong." On the rear command platform, Yang Tiancheng watched the Tiance army rushing towards Jinling City, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "I understand more and more what the emperor said now, although we have recovered the world, it is undeniable that we are experiencing a catastrophe, especially in many cases the catastrophe itself is caused by ourselves." ”

"If you can't bear it, you can just fix it after the war." Wang Houchun saw that Chen Yu had already led the team to set off, and gave Yang Tiancheng a rare comfort, and said with a smile: "At least in our hands, these monuments will be better preserved and left to future generations." ”

Yang Tiancheng shook his head, but he didn't say much, just glanced at the battle situation in front of him and smiled: "Okay, our task is also completed, let's go, go and see Xiao Si, I don't know if he can catch Xue Mei and them." ”

"Let's go, if he can't catch Chen Yu, don't count on it. These people have been operating near Jinling for so many years, and they have long been ground rats, and if they really want to hide from us for a while, they may not be able to find them. Wang Houchun beckoned the guards to bring the war horse, jumped up and said with a smile.

The two turned on their horses and headed towards the south of Jinling, and the guards behind them roared away. The two of them didn't care about the battle situation in Jinling City at all, and their minds had already fallen outside the battlefield.

At this moment, Li Xuanqing and Qiaoxi, who were traveling north by boat thousands of miles away, looked up at the location of Jinling City in the south at the same time, and the two looked at each other and nodded. At this moment, the cultural accumulation that has been inherited for thousands of years seems to remind the two of them that the time for Jiangnan to break the situation is approaching.
