Chapter 774: The Beginning of the War (Part II)
For the first time when gunpowder weapons were applied to actual combat, no one knew how powerful this thing was, except for the so-called Rocket Army, so after a pungent smoke of gunpowder, everyone looked at the dozen or so soldiers who were smashing the bamboo tube little by little, so that no one paid attention to the five balls that flew out.
"You ......" For Yu Ning, who had been pretending to be a calf for a long time and ignoring him, Yu Chi Baolin was really a little unbearable, and he reached out and grabbed his collar to be full of old fists, but at this time, a series of earth-shattering loud noises came from the direction of Shache City.
"Boom ......"
"Ah......" squatting to watch the lively Khotanese big head soldier just picked up the black ball that flew up to the city, the fire had completely swallowed him, and in the huge explosion, the whole person and more than ten colleagues around him flew out of the city like broken sacks, and fell under the city wall in a scream.
"City, the city gate is broken, the city gate is broken......" Just when everyone was surprised by the power of the black ball, a frightened scream came from the sandcart city.
The gates are broken? On the silent battlefield, this mournful cry was like a light in the dark night, attracting everyone's attention.
Hundreds of steps away, vaguely Yu Chi Baolin and the others saw that the originally closed city gate had a glimmer of light, but it didn't seem to be in the middle, but on the side.
"Rushing ...... with Lao Tzu" didn't have time to think about anything, Yu Chi Baolin suddenly screamed, rushed to the side of his war horse in a few steps, and rushed in the direction of Shache City on the horse.
Although I don't know what just happened, there is light at the city gate, which means that there must be something wrong there.
Gao Zhan, Dong Jiansen, Tuoba Mumi and others also reacted quickly, and at the moment when Wei Chi rushed out, they also beat their horses and followed.
It's just that unlike Wei Chi, Gao Zhan led the 6th Squadron to the left side of the gate of Yache City, Dong Jiansen led the 1st Squadron to the right side of the gate of Yache City, and Tuoba Mumi led the 1st Cavalry Team to follow behind Yu Chi Baolin.
The people of Khotanese were still in a confused posture, indifferent in the face of the galloping Tang army, looking at the crooked city gate, there were only three words in their minds: why.
What the hell is that black ball? Is it a god thunder? What the hell happened to such a sturdy city gate being knocked down from the side?
Another point is, what kind of door is this, how many years has the door official not inspected it? The position of the door shaft is obviously very rotten, and this broken thing is estimated to be even if it is not used to be struck, and it will be knocked open by a person, right?
"......Boom" There was a violent tremble, and the broken city gate under the gaze of the Khotanese soldiers made a loud noise, and countless dust shook off. Yu Chi Baolin had already crossed the distance of hundreds of paces, rushed to the city gate, and kicked the huge hooves of the horse on top of the city gate, which was already crooked.
"The Tang army is attacking......" another mournful cry, and then ...... The sword flashed, and the screaming stopped abruptly.
This is a pig teammate, except for disturbing the morale of the army, he won't do anything else, one will shout that the city is broken, and the other will shout that the Tang army is coming, and if he doesn't hack to death, he may shout something.
However, the generals defending the city in Khotan reacted slowly, and at the moment when the head hit the ground, Yu Chi Baolin, who was dressed in bright light armor, had already led people to smash the city gate.
"Those who surrender will not be killed, and those who resist will be killed!" The first cavalry team poured into Yache City like a tide, shouting slogans, killing the head and center of the city, and Wei Chi Baolin even carried an iron lance to take the enemy general.
"Bang" iron lance, spear fire, rubbing out countless sparks, Yu Chi Baolin is not equal to the Khotanese guard general reaction, by the time of the two horses and a wrong stirrup, the iron lance in his hand to retract back, and then turn his wrist to use the iron lance as a long stick, and sweep the back of the Khotanese guard.
"Not good" Khotanese guard general saw Wei Chi's movements out of the corner of his eye, and it was too late to parry, so he could only try his best to lower his body forward, and at the same time turn outward, intending to hide his body on the other side of the war horse.
As a result, he forgot in his eagerness that he could lower his body and hide on the other side of the war horse, but the war horse couldn't, the long neck and huge head of the horse were not something he could control.
So, in the neighing of the war horse, a big head was smashed by the iron lance in Wei Chi's hand, and the horse's body also fell crooked according to the movement of the Khotanese guard on his back.
It's all over the calf!
This was the last thought that flashed through Khotan's mind, and then the ground enlarged in front of his eyes, and with a bang, the whole person was crushed under the fallen war horse.
"The general is dead...... the general was killed by the Tang army......" Seeing the defender falling, the Khotanese soldiers panicked, and the shouts of the pig teammates immediately rose and fell with each other.
Looking at the increasing number of troops pouring into the city, the iron lance in Yu Chi Baolin's hand pressed against the chest of the struggling Khotanese guard, gave him a look that dared to speak and kill you, and then shouted loudly: "The enemy general is dead, surrender quickly!" Diehards, kill! ”
A soldier bears a nest of bears. After the supreme commander was smashed under the horse by the enemy, the Khotanese defenders still had any intention of resisting, and threw away their weapons one after another, shouting surrender.
The army of the Tang Dynasty is so terrifying, they can control the thunder and lightning, so the sturdy city gate is blasted open at once, which can prove it.
With the exception of a few Khotanese defenders who were very close to the gates, most of them did not know that the gates were actually blown open by coincidence, because it was already a problem in itself, and it was not the result of a very strong result.
Therefore, under the influence of those five loud noises, these big-headed soldiers were already panicked, and seeing more and more Tang troops rushing into the city, the main general would be killed (too many people could not see clearly), and surrender was a foregone conclusion.
In this way, in just one hour, Shache City has changed the king's flag at the head of the city.
"General, the defenders have all been controlled, and the people in the city have gathered near the palace, you see......" The captain of the first cavalry team, Tuoba Mumi, returned to the gate of the city to find Yu Chi Baolin after inspecting the whole city.
"Are there any of our soldiers who have violated military discipline?" Yu Chi Baolin sat upright on his horse and asked loudly.
"Nothing!" Tuoba Mumi shook his head.
"Leave a thousand men at each of the four gates, and the rest of the men will withdraw from the chariot and camp outside the city." Wei Chi Baolin was still a little unacceptable to today's results, and after a brief arrangement, he jumped off his horse and circled around Yu Ning, the commander of the Rocket Army.
"Lao Yu, how many bamboo pipes do we have?" After three laps, Yu Chi Baolin asked with a salivating face.
As for the frame that wanted to kill someone outside the city just now, he had been thrown out of the clouds.
