Text Chapter 518 That Bomb
"No." Jiang Yiqu, the commander of the first division, happily agreed. He was originally a general under Yuan Shao, but later voted for Zhang Chao, and after studying at the Zhangjia Military Academy, he was assigned to the First Army and became the commander of the First Division, which made him excited. I am also determined to perform well.
Last night, Wen Chou called him over and arranged a secret mission for him. Now, he just needs to get the arrangement done.
"You guys, come with me with your things." After Jiang Yiqu agreed, he said to several personal soldiers behind him, and then they walked towards the south gate of Zhiyang City.
Under the suppression of bows and arrows, Dong Zhuojun on the city tower did not dare to raise his head, and there were already three regiments with a total of 6,000 soldiers under the city who began to attack the city, and the shouts of killing resounded in the sky, under such chaos, no one would notice Jiang Yiqu's actions at this moment.
This is exactly what Jiang Yiqu needs, he just expects no one to pay attention to him, because the lord Zhang Chao has long ordered that the more unnoticeable he does, the better.
Although I don't know why the main guild issued such an order, it's just that the military order is like a mountain, and as a qualified general, he only needs to obey.
Taking advantage of the chaos, after arranging things unknowingly and unconsciously, Jiang Yiqu returned to the camp and came to Wen Chou's side.
Seeing that Jiang Yiqu had finished arranging, Wen Chou nodded at him and said, "Okay, now attack the city first, the lord said, if you can't attack it, you are using this killing move, you go and command the first division." ”
"No." After Jiang Yiqu agreed, he returned to the position of commander and began to command the five regiments under his command, and the whole 10,000 horses climbed to the top of the city tower with the help of ladders and other objects.
At this time, the soldiers of the First Legion had already begun to storm the city. In order to avoid being injured by mistake, the Zhang family light cavalry also stopped firing arrows, which also gave Dong Zhuojun on the top of the city tower a chance to organize an effective counterattack.
"Kill, drive these enemies down from the towers." Li Tong pushed away the corpses of the two pro-soldiers in front of him, who were full of bows and arrows, and at this moment jumped out with a big knife and began to command his subordinates to counterattack.
Despite the previous advantage of bows and arrows, some of the soldiers of the First Legion had already rushed up to the towers. But after all, there were still a few, and when Dong Zhuojun began to fight back, the two sides fell into a bitter battle and melee for a while. Every now and then, someone will be stabbed or shot and fall to the ground, bleeding everywhere.
The siege method of the First Army was very fast, and Dong Zhuojun's resistance was not weak. Perhaps they also knew that if they couldn't hold it, they would die, and in order to survive, both sides began to fight for their lives.
The battle lasted for more than two hours, during which only one regiment rushed eight regiments of 16,000 men in turn, and nearly 8,000 corpses were still laid down, but they still could not completely occupy the advantage.
The losses of the First Army were not small, and the losses of Dong Zhuojun were even greater.
In just over two hours, as the defender of the city, it has lost a lot of 10,000 people, which is a very large proportion. The loss of a besieged city is less than that of defending a city, which is not a common occurrence in the history of ancient warfare.
The First Legion has proven everything with their tactics and abilities, proving their toughness, but it is not enough to rely on this, at least it will take a long time to capture the city.
"General, another of our regiments has been broken, two thousand people rushed forward, and now there are not even three hundred people who can retreat." Jiang Yiqu, the commander of the first division, couldn't help but feel very distressed when he saw his soldiers rushing forward one by one, but most of them could never come back.
Wen Chou's eyes had already turned blood-red. He really didn't expect that the combat power of this Dong Zhuojun could be so strong, if it continued like this, even if it was arranged for 80,000 people in the first army, I am afraid it would be difficult to take Guiyang City when it was dark.
He made a military order in front of Zhang Chao, if he couldn't do it, wouldn't he be laughed at by others?
"I can't care so much, First Division Commander, let's carry out the final plan." Wen Chou knew that the situation was not as optimistic as he thought, so he decided to use the last killer move. Although he didn't know much about what Zhang Chao arranged, it was the intention of the lord, and the power must be good.
"Okay." Jiang Yiqu also wanted to see what kind of power this trick arranged by the lord was. He said yes and went to prepare.
Asking for a lit torch from his own soldiers, Jiang Yiqu came to a place fifty steps away from the east gate of Zhiyang City, and then pestled towards a lead that was placed on the ground.
"Shhh
The fuse was lit by the torch, and immediately brought out a trace of spark, which then burned away like a snake.
"Stand back." Jiang Yiqu did not forget what the iron guard who sent this thing said that once it was ignited, the farther away the better, so he took some of his own soldiers back more than ten steps.
But it was just a step back and then it stopped again. In his heart, he didn't count how powerful this thing was, and he wasn't very optimistic. It's just a rope that can catch fire, which doesn't seem to be much different from the firecrackers that are usually set off during the New Year. If there must be, it means that a lead is long and a lead is short, but it doesn't mean that it can produce much power.
Jiang Yiqu, who had taken more than ten steps back, stared intently at the lead he lit from near and far.
It has a full fifty paces of leads, so that when this thing burns, it is not very fast. Even Jiang Yiqu was a little impatient to wait, and the thing had just come to an end, and then the thick lead finally entered the black oiled paper that was wrapped.
"In, in." Several of the soldiers who followed him said excitedly.
"What's the noise, I know I'm in, but why hasn't there been any movement." Jiang Yiqu made a silent movement, and then stared at the thing wrapped in black oilcloth, and said with some puzzlement.
"Boom!"
Just when Jiang Yiqu was still thinking about what it was, why there was no movement, and how could he rely on him to capture the gate of Guiyang City, suddenly a fire light that was enough to dazzle his eyes rose to the sky, and then his ears were shocked, and at this moment, he felt as if he couldn't hear anything.
"Boom!"
The same explosion also attracted the attention of the people in and down the city, including Zhang Chao's army not far behind.
Just when everyone's eyes were on the siege battle on the city tower, suddenly this loud bang caught almost everyone off guard. Most people feel that at this moment, there is a dazzling gaze rising to the sky, and then the ears seem to be blocked by something, and they are deaf for a while.
At this moment, the soldiers who were fighting each other on the city tower all stopped.
At this moment, both Zhang Chaojun's soldiers and Dong Zhuojun's soldiers seemed to have been shocked by something, and they stood there still. There were even some people whose sword winds stopped like this just when they were about to slash into the opponent's body, giving people the feeling that time had stood still at this moment.
This stillness lasted for about five or six seconds, and then someone who reacted quickly shouted, "Oh no, it's an earthquake." ”
At this moment, most people's ears are still deaf, and all they can see is someone shouting, but as for what they are shouting, they can't hear it at all. But that doesn't stop them from yelling as well, as if they were the only ones who were normal.
In front of the city gate, Jiang Yiqu and several personal soldiers were relatively close, and they were also the most affected at this moment. For example, the ears can't hear anything at all, only rumbling. But compared to others, their minds are indeed clearer, and at this time they are all with wide eyes and open mouths.
Not doing so is not enough to express their current feelings. Because at this moment, they saw that the east gate of Zhiyang, which was originally standing there, was now gone. All that exists is a huge, indescribably huge cavern.
Inside the cave, there was already chaos, and there were still some Dong Zhuojun's corpses and some sandbags being thrown around.
There was a sudden explosion at the east city gate, which directly caused the two thousand Dong Zhuojun guarding here to bear the brunt, most of them were killed by the powerful gunpowder power, and some were seriously injured.
Thinking about it, even those sandbags were sent to the sky with a loud bang, you can imagine what kind of tragedy the flesh and blood soldiers will experience.
Jiang Yiqu watched all this with wide eyes.
He had been reminded before that this thing given by the lord was very powerful. It can be said that he is one of the few people who has been prepared for a long time. It's just that when the effect was completely exposed, it still shocked him, he still didn't think that the black tarpaulin wrapped thing, which was not much bigger than the wine jar, could have such a great power, and it actually blew the entire city gate to pieces, what the hell is this?
Surprised, frightened, surprised...
Scared, shaken, dazed...
All kinds of feelings hit his heart at this moment, and Jiang Yiqu couldn't even believe the real scene that happened in front of him.
Compared to some people, who reacted in five or six seconds, thinking that there was an earthquake, when Jiang Yiqu reacted, nearly twenty seconds had passed. He was relieved, and when he saw the huge gap in the city gate that had been blown open, his heart was immediately overjoyed. "Come on, the city gate will be broken, and the rest of the first division will be killed with me."
