Chapter 47: The Big Car

While the dewy couple was still arguing, in the gap in the north wall where the scuffle was endless, a guard was holding a shield in the front and back and left and right pushes in the afterimage of the weapons pecking at each other, and was suddenly stabbed in the abdomen by a saber stabbed in the chaos, and immediately his eyes were vain, the people and weapons in front of him were confused, and the blood gushed out of his throat, and he fell crookedly on the edge of the gap, and then his arms, elbows, and leggings were kicked everywhere, and he was kicked around, his helmet fell off, and the chain mail around his neck was scattered and untiedLying on the rocky ground, looking over there, there were countless boots and leggings moving, and looking over there, a soldier of Gawain's army was holding his fire on the fork more than ten feet away, not noticing him (probably thinking that he was a dead man) and concentrating on the pheasant on it to make a suppressive shot. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In his near-death state, the ordinary Arni soldier quickly mustered up the little strength left in his heart and fell in love with the fire. I saw that the shooting soldier would take off the Khitan snow from the shoulder strap after every shot, the outside was wrapped in a paper shell, a section was tied with a small rope, he tore it with his teeth, and then poured the fire gun diagonally into it, then stuffed the lead pellet, and used the cane to pestle, after completing these actions, he lowered down again, took out another small copper kettle tied to the belt, poured another formula of Khitan snow a little, shook it into the fire door at the back end of the fire gun, and then pulled the metal card shoot to fix the fire rope wrapped around the gun. Blowing away the ashes of the glittering copper dog's head, he took a brief aim and began to pinch the trigger under the wooden support, and with a lot of smoke, a bolt shot out again.

The dying soldier of Ani, who was jumped over by many boots, watched the shooter do this thing over and over again, and after the fourth shot, he was hit by an arrow in his forehead, and then he covered his wound and opened his mouth, and fell down and died, and then another soldier took over the fork and the firecracker, and continued to shoot......

When the scorching battle between the attackers and the defenders was concentrated in the gap that had been destroyed by the artillery, Lyotius, who was in full command in the rear, felt that the opportunity to "attack the east and the west" had arrived, so he cut his hands down.

After receiving the signal, on the road between the two forts, a large number of gunners pushed a huge siege ram-like vehicle to coax out, and the gunner at the front held a shield to escort it, the chassis of this vehicle was very large, and a wooden shed in the style of a slope was erected on it, covered with wet grass and animal skins to prevent arson, and between the chassis and the wooden shed was a huge lamp, and the opening was outward.

The wheels rumbled towards the north gate of Marash, for most of the elite of the garrison were concentrated in the gap and engaged in the rush of the Gimageis soldiers, so that there were few troops at the gate, and they could not help but cry out when they saw the siege wagon carrying the cart under them, and the gunners with their heads fluttering beside them.

"Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh!" Rocket after rocket, with its tail dragging its tail of smoke, kept flying out of the gate tower hole and into the roof of the wooden shed of the big car, but it couldn't burn at all, and after a puff of smoke came out, it slid down one after another.

"Keep shooting!" General Firuz, who was in charge of this place, stood behind the fence of the gate tower, and kept shouting to the Ani archers to light the fire arrows and take turns to come forward, "Throw the iron hook." With this shout, several more guards set fire to the thatch wrapped around the iron hooks, and threw them through the holes, trying to hook the cart and burn it, and the iron hooks were thrown down and creaked over the wooden huts. But many of the gunners next to the vehicle forgot to die, raised the hooks with blades, and cut them off one by one, and as the rolling sound of the wooden wheels became louder and louder, the speed of the cart became faster and faster, and the distance to the city gate became closer and closer.

Amid the shouts, many of the guards inside the gate held wooden stakes and pushed the heavy wooden gate against it from all directions, in case the enemy used the brass mallets in their vehicles to break the gate.

"Bang", the large lamp was pushed in, and it happened to be attached to the iron grille outside the wooden plank of the city gate.

A lot of fine powder also drifted away from the vehicle and slipped down with this shock.

At this time, behind the hole left by the city gate, the crossbowmen of the guards put the crossbow machines on it one after another, and in the sound of a sigh, the crossbow arrows continued to fly out through a door, and many gunners were shot through their knees and calves even if they held their shields, screaming and falling to the ground on their backs, while the rest fled down the hill with their heads in their hands, and many white crossbow arrows were still shooting out along the corridors inside and outside the city gate, chasing their lives.

There was a cheer in the gatehouse, and the defenders were about to throw down the stone mill and boiling oil to destroy the siege vehicle, but they didn't expect the enemy who pushed it to use it so fragile that they were crushed in one fell swoop.

But no one saw that the rope dragged under the cart was rapidly burning upwards with sparks—all piled with gunpowder in the cart, and with the iron beads of the wooden tray, all the "enlarged version" of the elder mentor Maglendius who had killed his butler, and which was now attached to the gate to the north.

In the upper and lower perforations of the city gates, the eyes of the Armenian crossbowmen who had stopped firing flickered and swayed from side to side. Finally, someone saw that beside the bodies of several gunners who were killed and wounded, the rapidly burning fire rope was heading towards the big lamp of the black hole.

The crossbowmen screamed, and turned to the soldiers who were still holding their stakes, "Disperse, open the gates, open them!" ”

"What are they called down there?" Firuz in the fence of the gate tower is still in Nahan.

As he spoke, the gate suddenly swelled and twisted like a toad with a swollen belly, and in just half a second, the wooden stakes that had been propped up behind them suddenly bent and wedged upside down into the faces and foreheads of the soldiers holding them.

Then fire, air, and smoke erupted from the cracks in the shattered city gate—the Khitan snow gunpowder in the big pot exploded, and the guards behind the city gate were as many as one or two dozen people, their clothes and armor were burned, and they were rushed backwards and danced, and death was shattered everywhere, and then the entire city gate turned into a dragon's mouth of flames, and swept the distance of dozens of feet in a straight line along the city gate.

Firuz on the gate tower felt as if the bricks were rolling back and forth several times, and he fell to the ground with the soldiers next to him, curled up in pain. Not only the gate tower, but also the masonry in the corridors on both sides became hot and hot, swaying with a deafening and incessant loud noise, and dust was constantly falling.

At his feet, the destructive power released by the explosion of gunpowder in the big lamp not only killed the guards behind the gate, but also bombarded the entire city gate into a big hole!

General Dorus, who was supervising the battle on the front line behind the siege of the wooden fence, was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground with his sword in his hand when he saw the dazzling city gate burst.

Behind him at this moment, the horn of Leotius' general attack sounded sharply.
