084 Desperate Battle(9)
"Straighten out the army, and when the city is broken, you will rush forward, you know?" Meng Qi commanded.
"Yes." Several leading lieutenants responded.
Zhang Dagen of the Great Pillar Kingdom gave an order, and all the soldiers immediately returned to their positions and were ready to go.
The troops of Quyu Kingdom in front of them were also lined up, standing in front of the army of Hirata Kingdom, waiting for dispatch.
The fifteen giant crossbows also tightened their strings and sharpened their all-steel bolts.
For a while, the scene was solemn, and a big war was about to break out.
The defenders of the Imperial City of Quyu Kingdom on the city wall were drowsy, and when they saw that the army below was in place and could attack the city at any time, they were so startled that they were completely sleepy, they raised their horns and shouted: "Enemy attack!" ”
The defenders of the city immediately cheered up, they placed crossbows at the battlements of the city wall, aimed at the army below, as soon as the opponent entered the firing range, they would release crossbow arrows, next to the archers were guarding a larger number of soldiers with knives, they were waiting for orders, in addition, the people were prepared behind the rolling stones and fire oil to prevent the enemy from climbing the city wall ladders.
The general defending the city was a tall and thin man, named Dong Zhao, who was also a well-known soldier in Qu Yuguo, who was cautious, and never made a major mistake during the period when he was sent to garrison the imperial city of Qu Yuguo.
Dong Zhao was standing on the city wall at this time, looking at the army below, his face was solemn, although he knew that the city wall under his feet was extremely difficult to attack, and in the more than 700 years since the founding of Qu Yuguo, he had been attacked more than ten times during the period, and he had never been captured, but he was still a little worried at this time, faintly, with a bad premonition.
Meng Qi smiled and walked to the front of the army, and suddenly, the archers on the opposite city wall released their arrows, and the crossbow arrows came straight towards Meng Qi.
Meng Qi was startled, he didn't expect the defenders on the opposite side to release the arrows without giving him room to speak, and before he could react, seeing that the crossbow arrows were about to hit him, a figure suddenly passed beside him.
This figure was Zhang Dagen, who rescued the driver, Zhang Dagen reached out with a hand like lightning, and he grabbed the crossbow arrow before it hit Meng Qi.
Meng Qi stared at the crossbow bolt that stayed in front of him with wide eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief, if it weren't for Zhang Dagen, he might have achieved the legendary achievement of dying before he could get out of school.
'Who led this defender, so insidious and vicious!' Unruly! Meng Qi was slandered in his heart.
Zhang Dagen stood in front of Meng Qi to protect Meng Qi, and said slightly: "Your Majesty, you should stand back." ”
Meng Qi wiped a cold sweat, nodded, walked back to the giant crossbow of Qu Yuguo, and shouted to the defenders on the city wall: "I don't care if you put cold arrows on me, what I want to say now is that you can choose to surrender or die." ”
The sergeant on the opposite wall didn't reply, just stared at Meng Qi coldly.
Meng Qi was ignored, a little embarrassed, and he continued, "Have you seen the soldiers in front of my team? They used to be your comrades-in-arms, and now they choose to join our team in Hirata Country, not only because our team in Hirata Country has unrivaled combat effectiveness, but also because our Hirata Country is your true belonging, there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority, class oppression, only equality and freedom, if you are willing to join us, put down your weapons and open the city gates. ”
"Those who know the times are Junjie, and I will give you time to think about it." Meng Qi had a faint smile.
After waiting for a while, the other party still did not respond, and their defenders stood on it like a statue, but they did not squeak.
Meng Qi said helplessly: "I can only forcibly attack the city, such a good city gate will be ruined, what a waste." ”
Hearing this, the defenders of the opposite side laughed, and finally couldn't help but say: "I can't coax it, and now I'm here to intimidate again, it seems that the enemy army on the opposite side is running out of donkey skills." ”
"Yes, the city gate under our feet has stood for a hundred years, and it has never been shaken in the slightest, and that guy actually said that he was going to be corrupted, what a fool's dream."
"When the emperor spent 87 million taels of silver to build this city wall, did he say that if it is corrupted, it will be corrupted?"
Meng Qi saw the disdain and disdain on the defenders on the city wall, and understood that if he didn't come up with some means, they really didn't know who they were facing at this time.
Meng Qi smiled lightly and instructed the soldiers beside him: "Stand firm, when the city is broken, you will rush over and don't hesitate." ”
"Yes." All the soldiers should go down, and at this time, the soldiers on Meng Qi's side were also very curious, what means Meng Qi could use to break through this city gate.
Meng Qi took out a black square object in his pocket, with a red button on it, shining brightly, and then Meng Qi counted in his mouth:
Three
Two
First, before the words fell, Meng Qi pressed the red button, and a signal wave invisible to the naked eye radiated from the black object, reaching the bottom of the city wall in an instant.
The six black boxes buried in the ground were instantly triggered, and the surface of the black boxes lit up with dazzling flashes, like a sleeping demon opening its eyes.
The next moment, the black box burst open, accompanied by an earth-shattering explosion, and the ground near the city wall directly bulged up half a foot high, and then suddenly sank deep.
The defenders on the city walls felt the earth turned upside down, and they all fell to the ground, and they fell to the ground in horror, thinking that the end had come.
Click, a few cracking sounds sounded from both sides of the city gate, waking up the frightened defenders on the city wall, and the guard general Dong Zhao was the first to react, he shouted: "Enemy attack!" Stand up! Prepare for battle. ”
No sooner had he stood up, and before he could give a specific command, another explosion erupted from below the city.
Rumble! The explosion was deafening, audible and audible, and the explosion was not underground, but on the ground.
'Oops. The thought flashed through the guard's mind, and then he heard a rumbling sound of falling to the ground behind him, and he trembled, and slowly turned to look at the city gate below him.
The gates of the city have fallen.
The strongest fortification of the Quyu country was toppled like this, along with the confidence and faith of the defenders, who were slumped on the ground at this time, forgetting how to deal with it.
Meng Qi threw away the explosion remote control in his hand and shouted loudly: "Rush! ”
The coalition forces of the Hirata Kingdom were still in the horror of the explosion, and when they heard Meng Qi's call, they reacted, and they rushed towards the city.
The guard Dong Zhao heard the sound of attack outside the city, and forcibly suppressed the shock and horror of the broken city gate, he drew his sword and shouted: "Archers release arrows!" Rolling Stones Ready! The rest of the soldiers went down to the city wall to meet the enemy! ”
The surrounding defenders hurriedly got up, they were obviously a little flustered, the archers had slipped their bows several times, and the legs of the soldiers carrying the rolling stones were shaking, and they still hadn't figured out how the other side had toppled the city gates, and where those explosions that had moved mountains and seas came from.
The guard general Dong Zhao looked at the defenders of the city with a look of being unfortunate, he once despaired, the city gate was destroyed, and the fighting spirit of these soldiers was also destroyed, and now it seems that the defeat of Qu Yuguo is a foregone conclusion.
Meng Qi watched the army pour into the city, stood in place, and smiled with satisfaction.
