Although Jia Yidao is a civil official, he is also used to seeing death, slashing, arrows, horseshoe trampling, and being killed by iron cannons and thunder, but he himself has never been so close to death! As long as the iron bullet just now is slightly off, he will die!

This kind of idea is not unique to Jia Yidao, the soldiers guarding the city are all pale, and those who are a little more timid feel a feeling of swelling under their crotch, and then warm water flows down!

"Run!" This is the thought in Jia Yidao's mind! But 19 years of experience in leading troops on the front line told him that as soon as he fled, the general trend would go - before the Chen Jiajun fired artillery, he could go down to the city, or he could transfer the soldiers in the city. ↖ ↖ ↖ ↖ But now, these soldiers on the castle tower, who are actually ordinary people, have been frightened by the shelling. If Jia Rudao leaves, it will be the collapse of the whole army! Chaotianmen will immediately fall into the hands of Chen Dexing......

Just as he was hesitating, he saw that Chen Jiajun's artillery had loaded the cannon again and stabbed the red-hot iron skewer into the fire door at the tail of the cannon. As soon as the firelight flashed, Jia Rudao's heart trembled, his legs and feet were weak, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks.

There was another rumbling thunder, and the bricks and stones on the city wall were raised again, and although the iron bullets did not hit anyone again, the flying rubble made the heads of the people on the city head bleed.

However, Jia Rudao gritted his teeth and sat on the city wall with his eyes closed. Seeing that he, the dignified prime minister and privy envoy, did not move, the defenders at the head of the city did not dare to move. They all followed his example, and sat on the ground one after another, holding their heads and being beaten by cannons.

On the other side, the artillery of the Chen Jiajun used a smooth coordination. A series of steps such as clearing, discharging the medicine bag, putting solid bullets, aiming, and ignition were quickly completed. The energy of the gunpowder explosion turned the metal projectile into the iron fist of the god of war.

After a few rounds of bombardment, Chen Dexing muttered: "It seems that the 3-inch cannon still can't bombard a fortified city like Chaotianmen." Just broke a couple of stomps......"

The Chen Jiajun artillerymen at the scene were full of energy, they used to play with stone machines and bed crossbows. Those weapons are pretty powerful, though. But after all, there is no such artillery sharpness, and the firing range is long, and at such a long distance, the enemy simply has nothing to fight back. And it's easy to hit – much easier than a stone machine! The only regret is probably that this kind of bronze cannon can't use the thunder as a cannonball, so what is fired is an iron bullet that will not explode, and the power seems to be smaller. And the walls of the Imperial City of Lin'an are too strong, and it seems that it will not collapse in a hundred years with only 6 cannons!

Chen Dexing raised his hand sharply and ordered the artillery to suspend the bombardment. The order was given: "Keep shooting, aim at the bed crossbow at the head of the city, concentrate your fire, fight from left to right, and break up all the bed crossbows!" ”

The farthest range on the tower of Chaotianmen City is the bed crossbow, and the theoretical range is comparable to that of a bronze cannon. It's just that the three soldiers don't have the heavenly thunder arrows that will explode, and if they shoot too far and the chord power is exhausted, they have no power, and under the constant bombardment of 6 cannons. None of the three soldiers dared to stretch out their necks to manipulate the bed crossbow.

The rumbling of artillery was incessant, and the three soldiers at the head of the city were just beaten with their heads in their hands, and the casualties were indeed not too great—but they did not have the strength to fight back. But Chen Jiajun's artillery was endless, and the bombardment continued. And they all aimed at the position where the bed crossbow was erected. Soon several bed crossbows were blown apart.

Jia Yidao and Han Zhen sat face to face together, staring at each other with big eyes, really depressed to the extreme. When will it be a head if it continues like this!

I think of this. The shelling outside suddenly stopped. After waiting for a long time, no more cannon sounds. Jia seemed to dodge and said: "Could it be that Chen Wei's cannonball is finished?" ”

Han Zhen kicked the soldiers around him. The soldier had no choice but to get up trembling. He poked his head out and shouted, "The thieves are pushing their cannons!" ”

"What? Moving forward? Jia Rudao was stunned and stunned, and struggled to get up, reached the edge of the battlement, stretched out his neck and looked out. I saw that the Chen family soldiers below were pushing 6 cannons and slowly advancing, and behind them, the Chen family soldiers who formed a phalanx were also moving forward. In a short time, they were less than 250 paces away from the city gate.

"Bed crossbow...... Is there anything else that works? Jia Rudao asked, leaning over and crawling—he didn't dare to stay on the edge of the battlement.

"Everything on the castle tower is broken, and there are still ...... in the treasury" Before Han Zhen's words fell, the roar of the earth shaking and the mountains shook again. The people at the head of the city clenched their heads and shrunk into a ball. But this time, there was no scattered debris coming.

The artillery of the thief army is empty? While everyone was wondering, the cannon rang out again! The cannonball clearly hit somewhere, making a few dull fluffy sounds, and the city wall trembled slightly.

This is......

"City Gate!" Han Zhen suddenly cried out in pain, "It's the city gate!" The thieves are bombarding the city gates! ”

"Quick, put down the jack brake!" Jia Rudao hurriedly gave the order.

The situation of Chaotianmen is different from that of Yuhangmen, there is a moat outside Yuhangmen, as long as the suspension bridge is put away, even if the city gate is not guaranteed, Chen Dexing's people are not so easy to rush in. There is no moat here at Chaotianmen, because it is convenient for officials to enter and exit the guard of honor, and the city gate hole is particularly large. Once the city gate is blasted open, the Chen family army outside the city will rush in!

As soon as his words fell, another thunderous cannon rang out, and six three-inch cannonballs spewed out of the bronze barrels, like six huge iron hammers, slamming on the wooden planks of the Chaotianmen gate. The city gate, which looked extremely thick and had dozens of copper nails for decoration on the surface, suddenly made a squeaky sound, and then with a bang, two city gates actually toppled to the ground!

"Put the jack gate!" Jia Rudao and Han Zhen shouted at the same time. Several pro-soldiers ran to the city gate tower like crazy, and the rope that pulled the jack gate was inside, and one of the pro-soldiers drew his waist knife and swung it down to cut the rope, and a huge stone slab slowly fell, blocking the entrance to the city gate.

"Keep the bombardment!" Chen Dexing sneered and continued to order. Isn't it just a slate? It's not too thick, most of it is still spliced together with a few stone slabs, and this thing is also used to resist the three-bow crossbow and the infantry, and it is a dream to block the bronze cannon!

"Hurry up, hurry down, go down to the castle tower, and retreat to Miyagi!" Jia Yidao's voice was already trembling, how could the traitor not know that the so-called jack gate couldn't resist for too long! The rest of the iron gates are just as bad as the inner city gates! Chaotianmen is about to be breached, and the three soldiers who rely on guarding here are not at all the opponents of the two or three thousand Chen family troops outside.

Now I can only give up Chaotianmen and retreat into Miyagi. This...... But it's the last stronghold! If you want to lose it again, this Lin'an City is Chen Dexing's world!

I can't fight anymore! Jia Rudao has already seen the shape clearly, the three yajun in Lin'an City are all waste, and the only thing that can be relied on is the 1,500 people in front of the palace. However, looking at the instigation of the Sanya Army, I am afraid that the classes in front of this palace are not much elite - but these 1,500 people are the last force to defend the court, if they are eliminated by Chen Dexing, the Great Song Dynasty will really have no soldiers available.

At this moment, in the Chongzheng Palace, Zhao Yun's face was pale, but he couldn't help but tremble. He couldn't stand up anymore, he could only collapse on the throne! It's not that far from Chaotianmen. The sound of the roar of the cannon came in clearly, and the eunuch reported the military situation like flowing water.

The news that Chaotian Gate was about to be blasted open, he knew it at the first time!

Now only Miyagi remains! If he doesn't keep it, he will die, and the Great Song Dynasty will also die......

Chen ...... Chen **qing! Emperor Lizong spoke. It's Chen Huaiqing who is called - he is now "**Qing"!

"**Qing!" Emperor Lizong worked hard to owe himself on the dragon chair to show his respect for this **qing.

"The minister is here!" Chen Huaiqing hurriedly stepped forward and fell to his knees, still looking loyal.

"Flat, sit." As he spoke, Emperor Lizong waved his hand at Dong Songchen, who hurriedly moved a chair to Chen Huaiqing.

"Your Majesty sits." Chen Huaiqing was not polite, stood up and sat down.

Emperor Lizong barely squeezed out a few smiles: "**Qing, I ...... I think about it, but I still feel that I can't negotiate with the Mongols, the Mongols have no credit, Kublai Khan is even more cunning and abnormal, Hao Jing, Zhenjin, Dou Mo and other thieves are all treacherous! ”

He looked up at the ministers in the main hall, and everyone nodded in agreement: "Your Majesty is right!" They are all traitors, and they should all be killed! ”

"It should be killed!" Emperor Lizong waved his hand and made a head-killing gesture. "And that Liang Chongru, a thief with eyebrows and rat eyes, looks like a traitor!"

In the imperial history in the main hall, Cheng Shen Yan played loudly: "The minister impeached Liang Chongru of the court for embezzlement, colluding with Mongolia, betraying the country for glory, please behead this thief!" ”

Li Zong nodded: "Yes!" ”

Li Zong set his eyes on Wu Qian again, and Prime Minister Zuo immediately understood, and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the right martial doctor, the Imperial Thunderbolt Navy has all controlled Chen Dexing to protect the country, and it is appropriate to reward him heavily." And this person has both talent and morality, dignified appearance, noble character, and can be promoted to the princess. ”

"Well, a generous reward! Princess Shang! Feng Ma Du Wei, Feng Jiedu Envoy, and Feng County King...... "Emperor Lizong gave Chen Dexing an official and a knight, and then looked at Chen Huaiqing, and said with a reluctant smile: "Chen **Qing is also a meritorious hero, transferred to 10 officials, promoted to Taizhong Doctor, Jialong Tuge Bachelor, participated in political affairs, signed the Privy Council, and sealed the county marquis!" ”

Hearing about the official title given to him by Emperor Lizong. Chen Huaiqing smiled bitterly in his heart, okay, he was promoted ten levels in a row, and he was suddenly promoted from a seventh-grade official to a heavy minister-but it is in line with the principle of being an official, killing people and setting fires to be recruited! (To be continued......)
