Chapter 270: The World Shakes

The southeast corner of Chang'an City has become a sea of fire, and intermittent moans can be heard in the crackling fire.

Even if reinforcements came to put out the fire, it was to no avail, one after another stone bullets whistled and dusted, and one by one the clay pots fell into the crowd, cracking into pieces, and then green smoke curled and sparks appeared. Accompanied by the green smoke wafting everywhere, a spicy smell enveloped the Wei soldiers, making them snot and cough, and their eyes were blurry, and it was a problem to even look at the road, let alone defend.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the army began to move forward to build pontoon bridges.

With Zhuge Liang's invention of the Zhuge crossbow, the Han army has established a group of crossbow soldiers, which are also used intensively, and a large piece of strong crossbows like forest and rain are shot at the head of the city, and they also suppress the sporadic counterattacks on the head of the city.

Even if the Wei army in other parts had the heart to come to the rescue, they were suppressed by the crossbowmen of the Han army, and they were panicked one by one, looking for hidden objects to hide, unable to get close to the southeast corner to support, and could only watch their companions tossing and moaning in the ruins.

With such a fierce attack, it took only an hour for the Han army's trebuchets to destroy the defenses in the southeast corner of Chang'an City, and there were few Wei soldiers left alive in that area, and they either died or fled.

???? Chang'an City has been torn apart by the Han army, as long as one more knife is inserted, the huge Chang'an City will be at your fingertips!

???? Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and others were surprised and delighted.

In their impression, the siege of the city is a very difficult military operation, especially in the face of Chang'an City, which is a strong city in the world, and the defenders are determined, it is even more difficult.

So when they heard that the emperor and the prime minister used such a tactic, they could think that this tactic might have unexpected effects, but they didn't expect that the effect would be so good.

Even with such a weapon, they thought that they would have to fight for ten days and half a month to defeat the defenders of Chang'an City, but they didn't expect that in less than an hour, the southeast corner of Chang'an City would already be in ruins.

???? These generals began to realize that from now on, there would be a major change in siege tactics, and that this fierce and furious concentrated fire would open a new chapter in the history of siege. And they, who were the participants and witnesses of this battle, will also be famous through the ages.

At this time, Zhuge Liang's military order had already come: "After the trebuchets and crossbowmen move forward, Zhao Yunbu will attack!"

Zhao Yun took a deep breath. Straddled on the horse, held a spear, and shouted to the tens of thousands of soldiers under him: "Our army, prepare to attack"

As the trebuchet troops moved to the moat and began to bombard the southeast corner and sides of Chang'an City, while the crossbowmen began to suppress the Wei army farther away, Zhao Yunbu continued to cross the moat along the pontoon bridge and began to approach the city wall.

There was a dead silence at the head of the city, not even a single Wei army stood up and shot an arrow, and the Han army easily rushed across the moat, pushed the siege vehicles and ladders under the city wall, and climbed onto Chang'an City. They met little resistance, and the only thing that caused them was the stone bullets, pottery shards, and fire that were everywhere.

When 20,000 Han troops occupied the city walls, it was already a matter of time before Chang'an City fell.

......

All the generals of the Wei State have completely lost their minds.

Before the start of the war, they had already stockpiled countless war materials, which inspired the fighting spirit of all the soldiers.

When they saw the stone bullets covering the sky and the sun on the southeast corner, saw the raging fire, and watched the Han army climb to the top of the city and extend to both sides, they were all dumbfounded and dumbfounded, as if witnessing a myth.

"Chang'an City, just ruined?"

Cao Zhen was stunned, and said

Chang'an City!

That is the world's strong city, the city wall is tall and majestic, the old capital of the former Han Dynasty, after more than ten years of repair by Zhong Xuan and Cao Zhen, hundreds of thousands of people and soldiers worked hard, but it was broken by the Han army in an hour?

Not only Cao Zhen, but also many senior generals of the Cao army, as well as high-ranking officials in the station, were also trembling.

Sun Li, Chen Tai and others turned into statues, and said in despair: "This is impossible, this is impossible... Chang'an City will never be breached so easily."

But that's just the way it is.

Chang'an City is very strong, and the Wei army's combat effectiveness is very strong, even if you look at the world, you can't find such a strong defense system.

However, the Han army's new weapons and siege concepts are stronger!

Thousands of trebuchets were used together on a large scale, and the destructive power caused was unprecedented, which could not help but destroy the defense system on the head of the city, and also caused a raging fire to burn on it, so that Zhao Yun's troops could only go on both sides of the siege.

No matter how strong the fighting spirit of the soldiers is, how can they be able to resist the dense raining stones and raging fires?

"Boom!"

The two closest city gates to the southeast corner are the Bacheng Gate and the Ancheng Gate, when the two city gates were controlled by Zhao Yun's department and slowly opened, Wei Yanbu, Gao Xiang Ministry, and Chen Shibu began to attack the city according to the order, Chang'an City was no longer under the control of Cao Zhen.

The Han army invaded the city of Chang'an!

Hundreds of people witnessed this scene with their own eyes!

......

In an unknown courtyard,

The old man in cloth sighed:

"Conquer Chang'an City in one day, since Cao Mengde unified the north, how long has the Central Plains not suffered such a fiasco, it seems that the Mandate of Heaven is still in Han!"

The family nodded thoughtfully beside them.

As a sergeant of the Guan family, although there are many talents in the family who work for Cao Wei, the pill continues the glory of the family, so it has to diversify the investment.

So when Emperor Wei left Chang'an and fled back to Kwantung, the fifty-one-year-old Jianwei general Jia Kui returned with Emperor Dong, while his father Jia Ping left the rest of his family, including Jia Kui's son Jia Chong.

So after knowing that the Han army entered the city, Jia Ping knew that his family was facing a major choice.

It was not only the Jia family that made this decision, but also the Su family, the Zhang family, and the Wei family in Guanzhong.

You must know that at the beginning of the sealing of the boat and the street pavilion, the only witnesses were the local soldiers and civilians, and many people did not think about it so deeply, but this time the city of Chang'an was broken in one day, but under the gaze of countless Guan sergeants, once the news came out, it will definitely shock the entire northern family.

Liu Chan, the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, will also become the son of destiny because of this, and is regarded by the family as a peerless hero who has the potential to dominate the world.

In the minds of the people of Guanzhong, he will also become one of the founding emperors, and he will be on a par with those strong men who once dominated the world.

In Chang'an City, countless families and scholars who were for speculation began to connect with each other, looking for reliable middle and lower-level generals in the Wei army, in order to promote the opportunity.

But in the Commander's Mansion, whether it was the general Cao Zhen, or Sun Li, Chen Tai and many other generals, everyone had turned into statues and was silent.

Especially Chen Qun's son Chen Tai, this tenacious and tenacious general, has completely lost his fighting spirit, and he has been chanting:

"How is this possible... How is this possible?"

"Hey! The heavens of the Central Plains are going to change after all!

Cao Zhen said with difficulty, then slowly got up and walked to the back hall.

His backbone is still straight.

It's not that his general Cao Zhen doesn't want to fight anymore, but he has clearly sensed that his army has not only lost control, but also has no fighting spirit.

Because of the enemy's majestic and powerful attack power, it completely shattered the will of all the soldiers to resist.

Cao Zhen also knew that if he forcibly pushed the street fighting, he was afraid that he would immediately be tied up by some soldiers and surrender to the Han army.

At that time, he couldn't even beg for death.

He wanted to die for the Great Wei, but he committed suicide!

In the first year of Ji Han Jianxing, in the fifth year of the early Huang dynasty of the Great Wei Dynasty, in August, the emperor of the Han Dynasty sealed the boat and commanded an army of 100,000 to attack Chang'an, breaking the city in one day. Cao Zhen, the general of Wei, committed suicide and martyrdom, more than 30 generals and 3,000 soldiers were killed in battle, and the rest surrendered.

The entire Guanzhong completely fell into the control of the Han Dynasty.

The world was shaken.

And this time, not only Guanzhong, but countless news, from the major families, frantically spread to Kanto, to Jiangdong, and to the whole world.
