Chapter 179: Breaking the City
When the Tang army appeared below the city, the unknown city had already sounded the alarm, and the people of the city already knew about last night's battle. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
No one expected that these outsiders who had been beaten away would dare to come back, but with the fortified city, the locals had reason to believe that these outsiders would return in spite of the difficulties.
However, the determination of the Tang people seemed to be beyond the expectations of the locals, and when the entire fleet of 3,000 troops came to the city, looking at the huge city made of rammed earth and stones in front of them, even the Daomen trio and Liao San couldn't help but admire the huge city!
This is not to blame for their shock, because the kind of city in front of them is very famous even in later generations, this city has a name, it is called your, this city is the royal city of the Sumerians, it has existed for more than 3,000 years, after the successive dynasties have repaired, its strength can be imagined.
In addition, the city of your has also been home to many famous people, such as the ancestors of the Jews, and Abraham was born in this city.
However, today's city of your is destined to usher in a group of uninvited guests, that is, it is the arrangement of fate, and they also asked for it, Liao San They found the city according to the traces left by the enemy's retreat!
Zhan Jiao hugged his fist at Liao Sanyi, "Chief, according to the investigation, the last general is sure that the group of masked people were hiding in the city last night"
Liao San waved his horsewhip lightly on the horse, "Then what are you waiting for, the blood debt will have to be paid by meat, our family hopes to sleep in the city tonight"
"Yes, we will not disappoint the Governor, brethren, the cannon is ready, the cannon is fired"
The defending soldiers on the city wall watched the Tang people below push out many strange things, and they all stared curiously, they had never seen a ladder in a battle, and they didn't need a stone thrower, but now they saw it.
The fifty cannons that Liao San brought when he went to sea, except for a few that were damaged, are now used to greet the walls of your city, "Knock knock...."
Dozens of cannons roared towards the city walls, and suddenly this ancient city, which had existed for more than 3,000 years, was crumbling under the power of modern technology.
Looking at the dust falling on their heads and listening to the deafening sound of cannons, the soldiers near the city wall couldn't help but sweat for the city wall, but after a few rounds of bombardment, although there were some cracks on the city wall, it blocked the enemy's attack.
After ten rounds of shelling, Zhan Jiao asked the soldiers to stop and rest, and by the way, he also let the cannon mouth dissipate heat, and saw the city wall that was still standing in the distance, Zhan Jiao was ruthless in his heart, "continue to bomb"
This time it didn't take ten rounds, but after three rounds, there was finally a section of the city wall that didn't hold up, and with a hula, with a large piece of smoke and soil, he pounced on the embrace of the earth without hesitation.
Zhan Jiao pulled out his waist knife, "Brothers, rush, artillery, continue to bombard the city wall that is not going to fall, rush"
When the city wall fell, the people in the city were suddenly confused, I didn't expect these foreigners to be so ruthless, this meal, the city wall collapsed, no, for their homeland, fight with them.
So Zhan Jiao and they fell into a melee, and the artillerymen, after blasting the city wall into a larger gap, also pushed the cannons and followed the infantry into the city.
The battle entered a white-hot level for a while, Liao San boarded the occupied city, picked up a telescope and carefully observed the movements in the city, and the Daomen trio did the same.
When he saw Zhan Jiao and they were blocked by a luxurious and spectacular courtyard, Liao San smacked his tongue, "It's a pity, come here, bring the earth-shaking thunder to support"
Immediately, there were a few guards [grenadiers] behind Liao San, who were covered with large grenades, and ran quickly to the place where Zhan Jiao was blocked, and several earth-shattering thunderbolts that lit the fuse were thrown into the compound, and a stream of gunpowder smoke rose up, and the defense that was still solid just now suddenly weakened.
As a veteran, Zhan Jiao felt this change for the first time, shouted, jumped out from behind the bunker, and launched bloody methods against the enemy soldiers who were stunned and confused, and for a while, the human head was like a pig's head, flying everywhere.
Emptying the guards on the periphery, Zhan Jiao invaded the interior of this compound, Zhan Jiao also understood that the best thing to use in this kind of place is the earth-shaking thunder, whenever the attack is blocked, a sky-shaking thunder is thrown over, and the game is all over.
Without the support of modern science and technology, the city of your is a city with a radius of 800 by 1,000 meters, and there are only 350,000 residents.
When the Tang army set up the cannon on the city wall, the battle ended before the sun set, but although the big battle was gone, a wail could be heard everywhere in the city, and there was a roar of explosions from time to time.
Liao San came to the largest courtyard in the city, what kind of prince's palace is this, Liao San came in and glanced at the decoration of this palace with disgust, really earthy!
And in addition to decorating Liao San's eyes, the palace is full of flesh and blood, Liao San looked at a throne, and a small yellow door hurriedly went over to wipe it clean with his sleeves, and Liao San sat on it to try the feeling and came down to "move away"
Then Liao San looked at Zhan Jiao, who was standing on the side with blood stains on his face, "Zhan Guard, order to go down, strictly defend at night, step up patrols, dare to show your head at night, don't ask the reason, don't worry about killing, in addition, let your subordinates be quick with their hands and feet, we have to leave tomorrow night at the latest, take away what you can't take away, burn"
"Yes" Zhan Jiao turned around and ordered people to go, this was Liao San's most satisfactory order, Liao San probably felt that the smell of the palace was not very good, "You guys tidy up this first, Dao Chiefs, let's go to the courtyard to relax first"
The four of them set up a table in the courtyard, on which were the fine wine of the Western Regions that were searched from this palace, as well as a few plates of washed fruits, Liao San took a sip of wine to suppress the nausea just now, "Several Taoist leaders are not dissatisfied with what our family just ordered, right?" ”
Sun Simiao glanced at Liao San and didn't speak, Li Chunfeng and Lin Weiqin looked at each other and shook their heads, Liao San took a sip of wine and laughed at himself, "Do the three of you think I'm merciful?" ”
This time, Sun Simiao spoke, "It's not just kindness, it's just a saint, if you want me, you have to dig three feet into the ground in this place, and you don't have anything left."
Liao Sanyi slapped the table, "Okay, you, go and inform the Zhan guards, dig three feet into the ground, and empty this city for me"
In fact, there is no need for Liao San to chase and order, Zhan Jiao and his subordinates have already done this again, after arriving in the city, the soldiers are usually bound by military discipline, Zhan Jiao can still command, and at this time they are moving valuable things to the fleet, and the ship is leaning against the dock, the headlights are shooting around, and they are demolishing overnight.
But the merchants who didn't make enough money on the road are not like this, once the evil in human nature is activated, it is not a moment and a half can be stopped, the city is full of groups of merchants with knives, change their old cowering expressions, kick when they see the door, point when they see the house, see people... Strong, all the women are taken away, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, hum!
The disaster in the city of your lasted only one day because of Liao San's caution, and the next afternoon, the fleet set off at anchor, leaving a ruined city for the desert people.
The fleet drove away, and Liao San stood on the deck, looking at the black smoke of your city, "It's just an interest, next time our family comes, it won't be so merciful."
After speaking, Liao San turned around and entered the cabin, and Zhan Jiao was holding a gold ornament to show the Daomen trio, "A few Taoist leaders, look at this thing, do you know?" ”
In front of the trio is a bull-head fiddle made of gold, which is still covered with earth, but still reveals luxury and sophistication.
Sun Simiao pounced, "Where did you come from?" “
"dug out of the ground" (to be continued.) )
