Chapter 243: Capture of the Sultan Mansion

"Rocket preparation."

The soldier in charge of the eight-ox crossbow immediately lit the oil cloth on the crossbow arrows with torches.

"Ready."

The bear roared: "Shoot!" ”

Whoosh, whoosh.

More than a dozen rockets flew in the direction of Xijin City.

The rocket, with a whirring ball of fire, plunged directly into the pile of explosives.

"Boom, boom."

Three explosions in a row shook the heavens and the earth, and the soldiers of the Northern Route Army were more than 1,000 meters away from Xijin Mansion, and they could feel the tremor of the earth.

A huge crack appeared in one section of the city wall of Xijin Province, and another section was blown down, bricks and stones flew everywhere, and a breach more than ten meters wide appeared on the city wall.

Looking at the city gate of Xijin Mansion again, it has fallen apart at this moment, revealing a black city gate hole, and the city of Xijin Mansion is broken.

The Northern Route Army had already been eyeing it.

Qin Guan waved his big hand, "Attack!! ”

"Kill!"

Tens of thousands of soldiers roared angrily and rushed towards the city of Xijin.

Just now, Yelu Qicai was standing above the city gate, the violent explosion made his ears ring, his head was dizzy, he stood up from the ground with difficulty, looked at the Zhao soldiers who rushed over, he opened his mouth and wanted to give the order to block the enemy, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he spurted out a mouthful of blood.

The explosion just now had seriously injured his lungs.

He stretched out his hand to hold the battlements, struggling to support his body, the corners of his mouth were still bleeding down, watching the Zhao soldiers rushing into the city gate like a wave, watching the Zhao army rushing into the city wall, watching the soldiers of the two countries fighting together.

Yelu Qicai looked up at Qin Guan in the distance under the banner of Zhao Jun's "Qin" character, riding a black horse and wearing armor, he couldn't see Qin Guan's face clearly, but he could feel his youth, Yelu Qicai gritted his teeth and spit out a few words, "I don't accept it." ”

He already had a plan in his heart, mobilized soldiers from several surrounding cities to come over, and besieged Qin Guan by surprise, he believed that with the strong combat effectiveness of the Liao soldiers, he would definitely be able to completely annihilate the 40,000 soldiers and horses of the Zhao army.

But before he could launch it, Qin Guan had already broken through Xijin City.

"Kill!"

"Jingle bell."

40,000 Northern Route Army rushed into Xijin City, and the defending Liao soldiers started a fight, the momentum has been lost without the command of the general, how can it be the opponent of the imposing Northern Route Army, there is indeed stubborn resistance, the automatic rifle in the hands of the pro-guard team will not spare bullets.

After fighting for an hour or so, a large number of Liao soldiers in Xijin City have been completely wiped out, and there may be a few who escaped, but it does not affect the overall situation.

Qin Guan led everyone to ride through the city gate, stepped into this ancient capital, looked around with some curiosity, he had been to the capital many times, and now it seems that there is no shadow of the capital of later generations here, he is just a border city, it needs to go through the construction of Yuan Dadu, Ming Imperial City, and Qing Capital for several generations, before it will become the Beijing city of later generations.

As soon as Qin Guan came in, Xiong Da brought someone over, and said with a happy face: "Dashuai, the Liao soldiers in the city have been wiped out, and we have also found Yelu Wizard." As he spoke, he beckoned for a corpse to be brought.

Qin looked at the Yelu wizard who was wearing the general's armor and was already dead, with a deep sword wound on his neck, this guy wiped his neck and died.

Qin Guan sighed: "Yelu Wizard is also a generation of generals, and he has participated in the attack on our Zhao State twice. ”

Cherish heroes and re-heroes.

Qin Guan immediately ordered: "Hang Yelu Qicai's body for three days to show the public, and then bury him and his soldiers together, live and die together, let him and his soldiers be together forever, and he will not be alone on the Huangquan Road." ”

Xiong Da led people down, and after a while, Pan Liang came over with a team of people and reported: "Dashuai, we caught Zhao Yanshou, who was left behind in Xijin Mansion. ”

"Oh, bring it on." Qin Guan Dao.

The soldier pressed Zhao Yanshou forward, and before the soldier kicked his legs, Zhao Yanshou knelt down directly after seeing Qin Guan, and wailed in his mouth: "General Qin, spare your life, I am willing to hand over all my family wealth in exchange for a life." ”

Qin Guan laughed when he heard this, he was really a spineless guy.

Qin Guan lay down on his horse, looked at Zhao Yanshou and said, "The left-behind minister of the Liao State with the capital of Nanjing, the third-grade master, how much wealth are you going to use in exchange for your life." ”

Zhao Yanshou trembled and said, "All, all of them are dedicated to the general." ”

Qin Guan shook his head and said, "These are not enough, kill you, I can go to your mansion to get it." ”

Zhao Yanshou's face turned pale with fright, and he immediately shouted again: "General, I, I'm still useful, I'm familiar with everything in Xijin Mansion, if the adults want to do something, I can help the general, I can save you a lot of trouble, the general don't kill me." ”

said that in the end, Zhao Yanshou was already full of tears and snot.

Qin Guan smiled, it would indeed be much more convenient to have such a person who was familiar with the situation in Xijin Mansion, Qin Guan thought for a while and said, "Okay, I can spare your life, but you have to do a few things." ”

Seeing that there was hope for life, Zhao Yanshou showed ecstasy on his face, and said busily: "The general commanded, I will definitely do it." ”

"First, collect all the grain in the province of Setsu. Second, collect all the gold and silver goods in Xijin Prefecture, and third, collect the materials I need, you must help to complete them, if you do it, you will live, if you can't do it, I will hang you directly on the flagpole and freeze and starve to death. Qin Guan said.

"It can be done, absolutely it can be done." In order to survive, Zhao Yanshou dared not agree.

Qin Guan immediately ordered Pan Liang to take his army to do this.

A big battle in Xijin Mansion basically came to an end, Qin Guan issued an order to completely clean up the streets, and anyone who went out and walked around at will would be dealt with according to the enemy and killed on the spot.

At this time, the people in the city of Xijin Mansion were already trembling with fear, for fear that Qin Guan's army would come to slaughter the city, so they closed their doors one by one, and the family hugged each other and shivered, praying for God's blessing.

Qin Guan said that it was not so evil, and there was a slaughter of the city or something, and the ancient slaughter of the city was for a purpose, either for revenge or for future rule.

Besides, he is a modern man in his bones, and it is okay to die in battle, but as for slaughtering more than 100,000 people for no reason, he really can't do it.

People can not be killed, but things should be robbed.

Qin Guan gave the order, and the troops began to gather all kinds of needed supplies.

Ordered to collect war horses, and the final statistics showed that there were more than 20,000 war horses in Xijin Prefecture, and Qin Guan decided to equip all these war horses with the army, and it was best to achieve one person and two horses, which would increase the combat effectiveness.

Issued a secret order to the firearms battalion, collected materials in the city, and continued to make gunpowder, after several major battles, the consumption of gunpowder was very large, and this kind of mass killing weapon could not be in short supply.

Fortunately, the materials of Xijin Mansion are complete, and I believe that it is not difficult to find things to make gunpowder, which are all made with the improved technology provided by Qin Guan, and the power is several times stronger than the gunpowder of this era.

Now the manufacturing technology of this gunpowder is mastered by several of Qin Guan's pro-guard generals, and it is not crooked, and those pyrotechnic craftsmen do not know the final ratio formula.
