Chapter 161: Heavenly Punishment
In the main hall, only Zhao Lin and Cao Zhengchun were left.
"Your Majesty, can the five thousand Shenji Battalion really withstand the attack of the five hundred thousand Mengyuan Iron Cavalry?"
Cao Zhengchun looked suspicious, a little incredulous.
If there are 50,000 people in this magic machine camp.
He also believes there is still a glimmer of hope.
With only 5,000 people, relying on those novelties, can they beat 500,000 Mengyuan Iron Cavalry?
Even the artillery is powerful.
But it's not that big.
And there are not many of them, only ten.
"Aiqing rest assured, Meng Yuan's iron cavalry will be defeated. ”
However, Zhao Lin on the throne waved his hand, looking like he was in his chest.
Even looking at Zhao Lin's appearance, Cao Zhengchun was still suspicious.
He didn't know why His Majesty was so confident.
You must know that once it fails, the capital will be breached, even if His Majesty has the strength of a six-rank great master, against 500,000 Mengyuan iron horses, I am afraid that it will be impossible to escape.
......
Outside the capital.
500,000 Mengyuan iron horses, densely packed, like locusts, swept overwhelmingly in the direction of Shangjing!
Everywhere you go, whether it is a city or a village, it is in ruins!
Ten rooms and nine emptiness.
Men are killed, women are taken as slaves!
Meng Yuantie rode south at full speed, and it only took seven days to arrive outside the capital.
There was little resistance along the way.
In the distance, you can already see the outline of the upper capital.
"Shangjing City is ahead. ”
In the middle of the army, a bewitching woman in a mink fur raised her head, and her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up.
This bewitching woman is none other than the Queen of Fire, Liu Mengyao.
It was under her guidance that this Meng Yuan Iron Cavalry was able to use the nearest route to reach the outside of the capital in just seven days.
"Thanks to your letter from Empress Liu, my Mengyuan army was able to arrive in Shangjing so quickly. ”
Meng Yuan Khan looked delighted, and looked at Liu Mengyao next to him, "This time I won the capital and captured that Zhao Lin alive, Queen Liu, you have made a lot of contributions." ”
"The Great Khan should not be polite. ”
Liu Mengyao shook her head with a smile, "Didn't we reach an agreement? If the Great Khan takes the capital and captures Zhao Lin alive, he will help me restore the country by fire, will the Great Khan forget?"
"What the queen said, of course Ben Khan will not forget. ”
A faint glint flashed in the eyes of the Great Khan of Mengyuan, "When Ben Khan captures Shangjing and destroys the Great Song Dynasty, he will allocate all the land south of the Yangtze River to you to restore the country with fire!"
"Thank you, Great Khan!"
Liu Mengyao thanked her.
But in her heart, there was a different idea at this time.
This Meng Yuan Khan didn't really want to help her restore the country.
The other side will definitely backtrack.
But it doesn't matter.
What she wants to plan is for Meng Yuan Tieqi and the Great Song Dynasty to fight and lose, and then she will benefit from it.
Take the opportunity to reclaim the Flame Empire.
Even if Meng Yuanren didn't help her, she could still do it.
Of course, the premise of this is Zhao Lin and Xiaoxiao, these two people must die!
Liu Mengyao's eyes suddenly flashed with a chilling killing intent.
At this time, above the thick walls of the capital city.
The Divine Machine Battalion led by Fang Jue naturally discovered the rapidly approaching Meng Yuan Iron Cavalry.
"Meng Yuantie is here!"
Fang Jue's pupils shrank suddenly, "Hurry up and get ready!"
As his words fell, the gunners were all in place.
They held torches in their hands, and as long as Fang Jue gave an order, they could light the fire and set off the cannons.
And all the firearms were already aimed at the Mengyuan cavalry who were rapidly approaching.
The corners of Fang Jue's mouth suddenly lifted a touch of coldness.
Soon, this Mengyuan Iron Cavalry is about to taste the taste of artillery and firearms.
At this time, the dense Meng Yuan iron horse.
Meng Yuan Khan looked at the tall city wall of Shangjing, but there was a trace of contempt in his eyes.
He knew that there were only a few thousand defenders in the upper capital.
500,000 Mengyuan iron cavalry, even one person and one spit, can drown this poor defender.
In the eyes of Meng Yuan Khan, this capital is already in his pocket.
"Put!"
At this moment, Fang Jue, who was on the city wall, suddenly shouted loudly and gave an order.
The gunners of the Shenji Battalion all put down their torches and lit the fuses of the artillery.
Boom!
Suddenly there was a loud thunderclap, thick smoke billowed from the muzzle, and a cannonball flew out at great speed!
It exploded in the middle of the Mengyuan Iron Horse!
More than a dozen Mengyuan cavalry were suddenly blown away!
Either dead or maimed, flesh and blood blurred!
And above the ground, there is an amazing black hole!
"What was that?"
Meng Yuan Khan looked at the location of the explosion with a shocked expression.
Could it be a thunderbolt?
What did he do that caused the heavenly thunder to punish the Meng Yuan Iron Cavalry under his command?
Bang!
However, before Meng Yuan Khan could react, several cannon sounds sounded again on the walls of the upper capital.
Several more shells fell among the Mengyuan cavalry and exploded.
Hundreds of Mengyuan cavalry were killed.
Pieces.
More Mengyuan cavalry was frightened.
These people are all warriors on the grassland, they are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of death in vain!
Many Mengyuan cavalry were stunned and spun in place, falling into the fear of the unknown!
"Release, let me keep putting it!"
Fang Jue on the city wall was extremely excited at this time, these Mengyuan cavalry, who had never seen artillery before, were now completely defeated.
He must seize this opportunity and take the opportunity to deal another heavy blow to this Meng Yuan Iron Rider!
Ten heavy artillery, under the command of Fang Jue, fired artillery continuously, bombarding the Mengyuan Iron Cavalry indiscriminately!
Blooming a poignant flower!
The panic spread rapidly among the 500,000 Mengyuan Iron Horsemen!
"This is the punishment of heaven! it is the gods who are punishing us!"
"The Central Plains is a land blessed by God, we should stay in the prairie, and we should not invade the Central Plains!"
“......”
Many of the Mengyuan cavalry had the idea of retreating, thinking that this was the punishment of the gods for them!
"Damn, Ben Khan is a faithful believer in the gods, how can the will of heaven be on the side of the Great Song Dynasty?"
Meng Yuan Khan's face was extremely ugly.
Even he believed in the doctrine of providence.
"Great Khan, this is not a heavenly punishment!"
Liu Mengyao's beautiful eyes stared at the city wall of the upper capital, and immediately shouted: "This is the weapon of the army of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was launched from the city wall!"
"Weapons?"
Meng Yuan Khan was stunned, then narrowed his eyes and began to carefully observe the movement on the city wall.
Immediately, his face suddenly sank.
He knew that Liu Mengyao's guess was likely to be right.
Such a terrifying explosion was not caused by heavenly punishment, but by the weapons of the army of the Great Song Dynasty?!
The army of the Great Song Dynasty actually made such a terrible weapon?
Before his army could even approach the capital, hundreds of people had already been killed.
What is more serious than this is that now the military spirit of the Mengyuan Iron Cavalry has been shaken, and the morale has been seriously frustrated!
How can the army fight if it loses its morale?
But how could the Great Khan of Mengyuan be so willing to withdraw from the army?
This is in the capital, and today I have to take it no matter what!
