Chapter 449: Breaking the City

In the middle of the day, the smoke of gunpowder was filled near the Nantumen, and a pile of remnants and gravel was formed at the collapsed city gate tower, and the heavy armored infantry held Mo knives and took firm steps to cross the mound and enter the city of Hangzhou.

An Dalang followed the line of heavy infantry and led the army into the city.

The remaining Wu Yueguo soldiers were scattering and fleeing, many wounded soldiers were lying on the ground, and some were still rolling and howling.

An Dalang shouted loudly: "The second brigade sent two squadrons to occupy the city walls on both sides and clear the remnants of the enemy, and the others attacked the palace!" ”

Immediately, the guards of the two squadrons began to climb the walls on both sides, and when the guards climbed the walls, they met no resistance. The city wall was full of the corpses of Wu Yueguo's soldiers, and after some of the soldiers who were stunned by the explosion woke up, they all sat on the ground in a daze, looking at the enemy who rushed up with dull eyes.

The guards took out ropes, tied up the captives, and established an improvised line of defense.

Seeing that the movement on the city wall was going well, An Dalang led his guards to continue to advance in the direction of the palace.

The streets of Hangzhou were deserted, the shops on both sides of the street were closed, and only a few Wu Yue soldiers were scurrying around the streets like frightened rabbits.

The hoplites opened the way in front, and they kept removing obstacles from the streets, allowing the following large forces to advance smoothly.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the front suddenly opened up, and An Dalang saw a city wall seven or eight hundred meters in front of him, about six meters high.

This should be the wall of the imperial city, and in the wide area outside the imperial city, several military formations appeared. These military formations surrounded the Tongyue Gate of the Imperial City, forming a Qiyue Array, with about four thousand people, and in the middle of the military array, stood Shen Chengli's Daxu.

An Dalang was happy, it turned out that Shen Chengli was waiting for Lao Tzu here with these rabble. These wine bags and rice bags still want to stop Lao Tzu's army, they really don't know whether they are alive or dead!

An Dalang ordered the queue to stop and lined up more than 300 meters away from Wu Yueguo's army array. The shield-bearer held a large shield and established a defensive line, protecting the hoplites behind him and the large forces that came one after another.

An Dalang gave an order, and the guards took out the dry food they were carrying one after another and began to eat it in large gulps. They took off their water bottles and drank to quench their thirst.

After a while, Zhao Zizhong arrived with Boris and Li Jilong.

Sailors with bed crossbows and ballistas also arrived, and then began to build firing positions and prepare for the attack.

Zhao Zi raised the binoculars again and carefully observed Wu Yueguo's military formation, he saw many Wu Yueguo's soldiers, their faces showed frightened expressions, and the hands holding the weapons were trembling slightly.

"Da Lang, take a look. Their morale has been dispersed, and it seems that it should not be difficult to take it. ”

An Dalang took the telescope, looked at it for a while, and handed it to Boris.

"Brother, you're right, these soldiers of Wu Yueguo have been ravaged several times by our bombs~bombs, burning~burning~ bombs and Mo knife arrays, and they are all frightened. If we attack again, I guess they'll break up quickly. ”

Boris said while observing: "I saw Shen Chengli talking to several generals, they seemed to be arguing, several generals were blushing and thick-necked, but Shen Chengli's face was very ugly. ”

"It seems that Shen Chengli can't control these armies, Wu Yue Guocheng has been peaceful for a long time, the army has not experienced war for many years, and it is strange that they do not collapse when they encounter several powerful weapons of ours." Zhao Zi thought about it again and said.

"Brother, when are we going to attack?"

"Wait until everyone eats a little dry food and fills their stomachs, then attack."

After more than ten minutes, the guards hurriedly ate some dry food, and under An Dalang's order, everyone got busy.

At this time, the Wu Yue national army formation on the opposite side separated, and a few people walked out.

Zhao Zizhong took the binoculars and took a closer look, and found that several soldiers of Wu Yueguo, escorting a middle-aged man dressed as a civil official, were slowly walking towards this side.

"Boss, this guy seems to be negotiating with us, what should we do?" An Dalang asked.

"What should I do, cold salad, listen to what conditions he can pay first, and then we will make a decision." Zhao Zizhong had a rare sense of humor.

An Dalang has been messing with everyone for a long time, and he also understands what 'cold salad' means.

He asked the heralds around him to bring the civil official in, and it didn't take much effort, and a few guards brought the civil official to his brothers.

This civil official, about forty years old, with a thin figure and a righteous face, came in and asked, "Where did you come from?" What do you want to burn down the camp of our sailors, slaughter our soldiers, and enter our capital for no reason? ”

He spoke in a local accent of Wu Yue, and he spoke very quickly, and the brothers didn't hear it too clearly.

Just as the three brothers looked at each other, Feng Fatzi, who had come here with the army, stepped forward and relayed the words of the civil official to the three of them.

"For no reason?" Zhao Zizhong was happy, "I don't compete with him, you tell him that if you want to negotiate, show some sincerity, otherwise we will attack the city immediately." ”

Feng Fatzi nodded and talked to the civil official. The two chattered a lot, and then the fat man Feng, who was not worried, came back and said:

"Mr. Zhao, I asked clearly, this person is Wu Yueguo's imperial history, named Shen Huzi. I have heard of his reputation before, Shen Huzi has a good official reputation, he is a rare honest minister in Wu Yueguo, and he has a very good way to govern the place, so he was promoted to the servant of the ministry and served the imperial history.

He said that Qian Hongyu asked us to withdraw from the city of Hangzhou, and then asked us to compensate for the losses and promise not to invade the territory of Wu Yue again. And promised not to sell illicit salt in Wuyue. ”

"Hehe, Qian Hongyu is really whimsical. Then there is no need to talk about it, Da Lang, first detain this Shen Huzi, and then start attacking immediately. ”

Several guards rushed up, tied up the stunned Shen Huzi, and then blocked his mouth while he was still yelling, and dragged him down.

An Dalang pulled out his war knife in high spirits, "Attack!" ”

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The bed crossbow and ballista were fired in turn, and the thick crossbow arrows and explosive ~ shells were thrown into Wu Yueguo's military formation.

The sound of explosions was mixed with screams one after another, and a bloody storm was set off in Wu Yueguo's military array.

"All attack!" An Dalang pointed forward with his sword.

A long horn sounded, and the shield-bearers in the front row raised their large shields, lined up in a neat formation, and slowly pushed forward.

The heavy infantry carried the Mo sword and followed the shield bearer, followed by the crossbowman holding the bow of the divine arm and the bombardier with the bomb ~ on his back.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Under the continuous blow of * and crossbow arrows, Wu Yueguo's military formation began to retreat, and some soldiers were ready to move, ready to slip away at any time, and Wu Yueguo's officers at all levels were shouting hoarsely, wanting to keep the formation intact.

When the shield-bearers of Qishan Island were about seventy meters away from Wu Yueguo's military formation, they stopped, and then put their shields on the ground.

The crossbowmen in the back row immediately hid behind their shields and began firing from the gaps in the shields. The bombardiers also unloaded their backpacks one after another, took out the bombs~ bombs, lit the fire, and began to throw the bombs~ bombs.

This wave of blows was very rapid, although Wu Yueguo's military formation was still holding on, and constantly firing arrows at the military formation on Qishan Island, it had no effect. Except for a few guards who were shot by crossbow arrows and carried down for treatment, the others, under the protection of the armor, did not pay attention to these arrows at all.

Under the blow of * and crossbow arrows, Wu Yueguo's military formation finally couldn't withstand it, and the soldiers who were beaten the worst, the soldiers in the middle of the military formation, began to turn around and flee for their lives.

"Brother, why don't we burn ~ burn ~ bombs? How energetic that thing burns, I think if you want to solve the opposite military formation as soon as possible, it's better to use burning~burning~ bombs. "Li Jilong, a violent element, proposed to Boris.

Boris saw that this kid was a little excited, so he explained with a smile: "Little Lizi, this is Hangzhou City, you can't just use it to burn ~ burn ~ bomb." If the prosperous city of Hangzhou is burned to the ground, then our sin will be great, and we will be the sinners of history. ”

Li Jilong nodded obediently: "My brother is right, I didn't think of this, I really can't use a big killing weapon like burning ~ burning ~ bombs in the city, it's because I didn't think about it." ”

At this time, Wu Yueguo's military formation could not hold on, many soldiers began to flee, and Wu Yueguo's military law team had begun to kill the fleeing soldiers.

An Dalang shouted: "Heavy infantry attack!"

More than a hundred heavily armored infantry walked out of the gap in the shield, took firm steps, carried the cold and shining Mo knife, and slowly walked towards the Wu Yue national army formation.

"Run! Those killing gods are here again! ”

When Wu Yueguo's soldiers saw these heavy infantry and remembered the horror of killing gods when they fought outside the city, they all threw their weapons and fled in all directions.

"Knock, knock, knock......"

The war drums around Shen Chengli sounded, and he wanted to gather these routs, but Wu Yueguo's soldiers ran faster. These guys, who were familiar with the terrain of Hangzhou, threw away the weapons in their hands and quickly got into the streets and alleys of Hangzhou. Gone.

After less than five minutes, there were only about seven or eight hundred soldiers left around Shen Chengli's Daxu. They were all Shen Chengli's personal soldiers and diehards, and these soldiers gritted their teeth and clenched the weapons in their hands, barely forming a tight military formation to guard around Shen Chengli.

Zhao Zizhong saw in the binoculars that most of these soldiers were pale, their hands were still trembling, and their faces showed frightened expressions.

"Hey, they're all good men! Such an enemy deserves our respect. Send an order to An Dalang and let him give them a ride with * and crossbow arrows. ”

The herald immediately conveyed the order to An Dalang, and he immediately sent the bombardier forward to prepare to eliminate all these diehards.

Under the protection of the sword and shield hand, the bombardier slowly approached Shen Chengli's big tong with a net pocket.
