454. Conquer Moling County
First, since he wants to attack Moling County quickly, Wang Yuyan will naturally not hide his means.
So this time Wang Yuyan was soon ready to use firecracker grenades, compared to other siege methods, firecracker grenades may be the most effective means to deal with Sun Ce's recruits, no lethality is required, as long as the sound of grenade explosions is enough to scare them.
However, now that this kind of firecracker grenade is used, Wang Yuyan is not ready to use a projectile to throw it, so she directly selected a tun of about 50 dead soldiers to join the siege battle with some firecracker grenades.
These dead soldiers were mixed with the soldiers of Yu Yu and Chen Heng attacking the city, and found an area where the defenders were relatively weak, while climbing the city wall of Moling County, and when they were approaching the city wall, they found an opportunity to light the fuse and throw the firecracker grenade directly onto the city wall.
This is more purposeful than using a projectile that is not accurate with a projectile, and can help these dead soldiers quickly break through a hole in the city wall.
"Bang... Rumble ......"
On the city wall of Moling County, under the untouchable of the defenders, the first firecracker grenade exploded, and for a time it suddenly tore a defensive hole in the crowded defenders on the city wall.
The firecracker grenade fell directly at the feet of the defenders, and as the grenade exploded, it directly blew up the two defenders, and the iron nails and pieces that collapsed naturally killed and injured more than a dozen defenders around.
And as the thick black smoke from the firecracker grenade spread, the surrounding defenders scattered in fright, for fear that there was something strange hidden here, and they had no idea what was going on.
Many people's ears were still buzzing with the sound of explosions, and they couldn't hear what others were saying.
At the same time, seeing the tragic images of those comrades who were killed and injured by firecracker grenades and killed and injured their comrades covered in blood and blood, many people could not help but feel deep fear in their hearts.
Unknown things are often more intimidating, so a blast of this firecracker grenade frightened many of the defenders in this area.
The first two sword and shield men to go up directly occupied a wall, guarding a space that could be safely climbed up by subsequent people, and then another dead soldier came up, and soon lit two firecracker grenades, and threw them into the crowd of defenders gathered on the city wall.
"Bang... Thundered...... Boom... Rumble ......"
With the explosion of firecracker grenades, two more openings were suddenly torn in the city wall, which also made the defenders on the city wall even more confused, they finally knew that this was a method made by the Zhu Wei soldiers who attacked the city, but they still didn't know what kind of means it was.
The inexplicable fear has made their hearts begin to speculate, and some people can't help but shout in their mouths, "Witchcraft, witchcraft!" They know how to do sorcery! ”
"The thunder is cheering, everything is broken! Kill! Kill! ”
Just when the defenders in this city wall area were in chaos, more than fifty dead soldiers quickly rushed to the city wall, so they shouted loudly in their mouths, and rushed towards the chaotic defenders, inevitably forcing the defenders who had not recovered much from their senses around them to retreat more than ten steps.
"The city is broken, rush! Come on! ”
"Break the city and make meritorious contributions! Kill! ”
The other Zhu guards who were attacking the city naturally took the opportunity to climb up to the breakthrough of the city wall, even Chen Heng and Yu Su, who originally drove the soldiers to attack the city under the city wall, saw that there were already soldiers on their side of the city wall occupying a certain area, so they also personally took the sword and shield, climbed the ladder and killed on the city wall.
"Bang... Boom... Rumble ......"
Two more firecracker grenades exploded on the city wall, and this time the defenders left by Zhou Yu in Moling County finally couldn't support it, and many people had begun to turn around and flee.
They didn't know what Zhu Wei's army threw out, or that only a few people saw Zhu Wei's army throw firecracker grenades, so the vast majority of the defenders only suddenly heard a deafening explosion somewhere, and then saw their companions in one place, and they turned upside down as the black smoke rose.
This feeling is really like the scene of being bombarded by heavenly thunder, and many defenders on the city wall really think that someone on the side of Zhu Wei's army can perform some evil magic and Taoism, and can attract heavenly thunder to bombard their side.
Therefore, these defenders, who were already untrained and not very high in morale, could not take care of defense, and many people began to turn around and flee for their lives.
Even though Han Dang was still commanding the defense of the city from the city gate, he could only sigh when he saw more and more Zhu Wei soldiers rushing up the city wall, and began to retreat into the city under the protection of the surrounding personal guards.
And with Chen Heng and Yu Su also going up to the city wall, no one could resist their offensive on the west gate of Moling County, and soon the west city gate was completely controlled by Zhu Weijun.
Later, someone killed the city gate tower, lowered the drawbridge, opened the city gate, and received more Zhu Wei troops directly into the city from the city gate.
In this way, the county seat of Moling was breached.
Wang Yuyan naturally ordered the whole army to raid at this time, and asked Huang Zhong in front to take the five thousand sword and shield men and two thousand crossbow archers to follow him to Moling County.
As for Han Dang's side, after the west gate of Moling County was broken, there was no way to organize troops to continue to resist in the city, so Han Dang had no choice but to collect the remnants of the defeated army and retreat directly to Danyang City through the east gate of Moling County.
Here, Wang Yuyan also quickly led the troops into Moling County, and then Wang Yuyan asked Chen Heng and Yu Su to lead the troops to continue to chase and kill Zhou Yu, who escaped from Moling County, and defeated the army, and he stayed to clean up the mess in Moling County.
In fact, there are not many ordinary people in today's Moling County, and the original people here were basically coerced by Zhenrong to go to Yuzhang when they annexed Xue Li's tribe and went to Yuzhang on the order of Liu Xuan.
Later, under the control of Liu Xuan's army, this county town was also like a military town, mainly stationed Liu Xuan's army, and no ordinary people entered the house.
Therefore, in the county seat, only a few civilian households who originally served in the army moved over with Liu Xuan's army, but the number of these households will never exceed three or five thousand.
Therefore, as Han Dang fled with the defeated soldiers, the city of Moling County almost became an empty city.
Therefore, Wang Yuyan just sent people to carefully search the county seat, so as not to hide the remnants of Zhou Yu's soldiers, but there was no need to do anything like reassuring the people.
In this way, the safety in the county was ensured, and Wang Yuyan sent people to transport the grain, grass, materials and other things placed in the military village outside the city to Moling County for storage.
This Moling county town has now become a military town under the control of Wang Yuyan, and in the future, it can also be held on the hinterland road from Danyang City to the west of Danyang County......
