Chapter 151: This battle is too bad
—— Under the confusion of Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, the daredevils set up the ladder on the moat, and when the smoke covered the sky and the sun was obscured, and the rebels at the head of the city could not see the situation under the city, they covered each other, rushed through the moat, and quickly rushed to the largest gate.
Nearly a hundred explosive bags were quickly stacked into the city gate hole, close to the city gate, most of the sergeants quickly retreated after completing the action of placing the explosive bags, and the remaining sergeants quickly connected the leads, and after igniting a number of leads, followed the footsteps of their companions and retreated to the other side of the moat, leaving only a few sergeants who observed the situation to stay under the city wall.
However, the smoke was so thick that the soldiers watching the battle did not see what the men had done as they rushed through the moat, and it was not until the sound of a loud explosion that shook the ground that they understood what was going on.
Immediately after the explosion, the two sergeants who had not withdrawn rushed over to observe the situation, and after observing the situation, they also rushed back and reported the situation. "The gates have been blown open!"
After receiving the sergeant's report, Yang Xi immediately gave the order to charge in the loudest voice he could make: "Marshal Guo, the east gate of the imperial city has been blown open, order your department, immediately attack the city, General Li, General Pang, and General Wang's headquarters are ready to enter the city!"
"Yes, Marshal!" Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, and Pang Zhong were waiting for the generals who were waiting for Yang Xi, and they immediately took the order, and the other departments also prepared to attack the city. The breakthrough has been opened, and the time has come for the start of large-scale battles.
Most of the mighty general's cannons have been scrapped and stopped roaring, and the stone thrower has stopped working when throwing out the last explosive bag, and the heaven and earth have calmed down in an instant, making the sergeant who has endured the huge explosion for a long time and his ears have been buzzing a little uncomfortable, but soon a huge sound burst out, which is the shouting of the Tang army soldiers who are ready to attack.
With the sound of shouting killing. In the thick smoke, countless sergeants could be seen rushing towards the city walls.
The drawbridges at the gates of the Luoyang Imperial City naturally would not be lowered, and Guo Ziyi, who was the first to rush to kill, could only pass through the temporary passage, cross the moat, and then rush into the east gate of the imperial city, which had been bombed. The smoke was still thick and had not dispersed, and the soldiers who could not see the scenery clearly could not impact quickly. However, when they reached the city gate, they were quite surprised to see what they saw.
The heavy city gate has been blown up and debris everywhere, many rebel sergeants in the city gate cave have been blown up to a blur of flesh and blood, and everywhere you can see the tragic situation of stumps and broken arms mixed with the fragments of the city gate, and a group of soldiers in the city gate cave are not very injured, but they are standing like wooden chickens. Seeing the Tang army rushing in, there was no reaction.
Guo Ziyi's third son, Guo Xi, led an army by himself, and was the first to enter the city. Angry shouts of killing rang out, and the swords fell in hand, and many of the rebel sergeants' heads were cut off.
The city was full of gunsmoke. The visibility was extremely low, Guo Xi led the army to rush and kill indiscriminately, cut people when he saw them, and rushed to the city as much as possible.
Now they rushed into the Imperial City. There is no need to think about seizing the city gate tower, the city gate tower has its own other people to occupy it.
The city gates have exploded, and the follow-up men and horses can continue to rush in, as long as the results of the battle are expanded. Just destroy more rebels and completely crush the rebels' resistance -
Commanding the defense of the eastern part of the imperial city was Cai Xide, one of the most powerful generals under An Lushan. When the Tang army was approaching, there were still 280,000 horses in Luoyang City. There were 140,000 men and horses retreating from the imperial city, and 50,000 people from Cai Xide's department guarded the east gate where the Tang army was most likely to attack.
Although An Lushan gave an order to defend Luoyang after learning that the Tang army was preparing to attack Luoyang, most people believed that Luoyang could not be defended. It's just that no one dares to raise such worries to An Lushan, for fear of being blamed. They also hoped for a miracle, and they were also ready to retreat from Luoyang, that is, to leave Luoyang through Luoshui, retreat to the south, and use Longmen Mountain and Yique to block the pursuit of the Tang army.
But no one expected that the crown prince An Qingxu would surrender to the Tang army, and the Tang army would attack Luoyang City so quickly, and it would be too late to implement any plan, so he could only defend with all his might.
Although Cai Xide was worried that he would not be able to resist the attack of the Tang army, he still made enough preparations, and after seeing the Tang army erecting a large number of "mighty general cannons", he immediately ordered the sergeants at the head of the city to prepare to dodge to avoid being killed and injured by the Tang army on a large scale, leaving only one-third of the troops on the head of the city. But he didn't expect that the power of hundreds of "mighty general cannons" was so amazing, not only covering the entire city with black smoke, but also killing or injuring the sergeants near the explosion point, and the survivors who were not killed were completely frightened, and many people couldn't even hear the sound.
Cai Xide was standing on the city gate tower to command, and he saw all the situation at the beginning, and he was completely frightened by the power of the mighty general's cannon. After a series of explosions, Cai Xide was already sad, knowing that the imperial city would not be able to hold it no matter what, and it would soon be breached.
However, something even more frightening happened, when Tang Jun's explosives bag was thrown on the city wall, there was an earth-shattering explosion in the direction of the city gate, and he was almost shocked by the huge vibration and fell, his ears could hardly hear the sound, and the feeling of more and more fear followed, and he didn't even know how to react.
His head was dizzy, and he didn't know what to do.
Then a sergeant climbed up and reported to him that the city gate tower had been blown up by the Tang army, and after a large number of Tang troops had rushed into the imperial city, he still did not react, and he did not hear what the sergeant said.
It wasn't until the sergeant reported loudly several times that he figured out what was going on, but at this time, he was safe and didn't have any fighting spirit, and he couldn't even think of carrying out the preparatory plan.
He had never heard of such a siege method by the Tang army, and he couldn't understand how the heavy city gate was blown open by the Tang army.
"Report to the general, the Tang army has attacked the city!" Another sergeant ran up crying and reporting the situation.
Cai Xide walked to the window blankly, and he saw that on the city wall where the smoke had gradually drifted away, there were already a large number of Tang troops climbing up through the ladder, and the Tang army on the city wall was chasing and killing his subordinates who were unable to form an army, and his subordinates had no ability to resist.
"It turns out that Shaanxi County is lost like this!" Cai Xide muttered.
Cui Qianyou lost Shaanxi County in a nest, and Cai Xide also stood up to accuse Cui Qianyou of incompetence at that time, but now he has personally experienced the terrible blow of artillery, and understands that after such a crazy artillery strike, if the sergeant has the ability to resist again, it is really a god.
"Order the generals, give up resistance and surrender to the Don Army!" After Cai Xide reluctantly gave the order to surrender, he closed his eyes in pain.
It's been a terrible battle! (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
