The stray arrows roared through the sky, but more of them were only shocking, and the rebels did not have the courage to sprinkle a terrifying rain of arrows on the city under the strong suppression of the prince. In this way, the pressure on the forbidden army guarding the palace was suddenly much smaller, and all they needed to face was the problem of contact warfare.

However, at the main gate of the palace, the rebels were numerous, and at this time, thousands of rebels under the city were divided into three columns, and the three black lines that turned into servants and servants pressed over, which was really palpitating.

The muffled sound from the four corner towers of the imperial city kept ringing, every sound, always will drive the heartstrings of the people also moved, the whole imperial city has to tremble, the strong anti-shock force represents the strength of the crossbow to defend the city.

The huge crossbow arrows that pierced the air like black light pierced the formation of the rebels mercilessly, shooting out countless blood flowers that burst out, and smearing the ground with slimy flesh, but there were only four crossbows defending the city, especially only two on the left and right in the main square, and how many people could be killed? The three waves of the rebels still rushed quickly under the imperial city without hindrance.

The main targets of the crossbows were still the ordnance used by the rebels to attack the city, especially the sharp heavy vehicles used to storm the heavy palace gates. The top of these cars is topped with a fireproof front made of cowhide, and the front end is a giant wood sharpened into a sharp shape, which itself weighs a lot, and once pushed at high speed, the impact on the palace gate is very strong.

A crossbow arrow accurately hit a crashing car, the sharp tip of the arrow lightly tore through the hard-looking hard cowhide, and slammed into the crash car, although the crash was strong and could not be shattered by a giant crossbow, but the powerful impact of the city crossbow itself still made the crash car jump suddenly, like a beetle on the ground feeling the shaking of the earth, and then tumbled miserably, crushing several rebel soldiers next to the car to death, unable to move again.

At the beginning of the siege battle, the two city crossbows fired desperately and successfully eliminated three of them, but the crossbows were too slow to recoil, and the impact of the rebels came very quickly, but in an instant, most of the crashes had already passed the shè line of the crossbows guarding the city, approaching the three main gates of the palace.

The rebels shouted in unison and rushed over!

Only a few teeth-inducing loud noises were heard, and the crash finally managed to hit the heavy palace gate. The main entrance of the Qingguo Palace was extremely thick, but under such a terrifying impact, it still shook violently, the door pivot creaked, as if it was about to disintegrate, and the four huge door latches arranged from top to bottom were even more deformed!

However, the thick latch finally withstood this powerful impact, and the creaking sound at the door pivot gradually subsided, and the main gate of the palace was unharmed except for a large pit that was knocked out of a large pit and a dozen copper nails were knocked off.

At least in this impact, the gate of the Qingguo Palace still seems so impregnable.

However, the rebels did not have a trace of strange expressions, in the shouts of the bosses, they quickly pulled the first wave of crashes away from the palace gate, and several crashes in the second wave had already passed through the bows and arrows of the forbidden army at the head of the city, escaping the powerful, but like the old man, the city guard crossbow that only moved once in half a day, and crashed into the palace gate!

There was another loud bang, and this time the palace gate was finally damaged beyond recovery, and the whole gate began to tremble, giving people a shaky feeling, as if it might collapse at any moment.

The forbidden army Jīng, who was standing by at the back of the palace gate, led the horses and watched this scene calmly, although his face was calm, the anxiety that flashed in his eyes revealed their true mood.

And through a thick door, the rebel soldiers who were risking their lives to launch a strong attack saw the hope of the imperial city being breached at this moment, and their morale suddenly soared, roared loudly, and rushed up again.

The third wave of siege troops arrived, and the rebels threw down hundreds of corpses under the merciless blows of the arrows and crossbows of the forbidden army at the head of the city, and finally succeeded in subjecting the palace gate to the third impact.

There was a muffled click, and the dust and smoke flew up, like a brown paper bag wrapped in smoke that had been broken by the bad palms of a naughty boy!

The dust and smoke fell slightly, the field of vision was a little quiet, and the countless rebels in the square looked at the heavy palace gate in the middle of the imperial city, and they couldn't help but cheer in unison!

............ However, the group of siege jīng Rui closest to the imperial city did not have time to let out any cheers, and even the excitement and joy on their faces were immediately replaced by astonishment and anger, because they could see clearly that although the palace gate was smashed open with a huge opening, revealing the thick wooden stubble inside, the entire palace gate showed no signs of collapse.

The ground was covered with golden copper nails, and behind the hole, there was a thick layer of stone and earth, and there was not a single void in sight!

The people in the palace actually blocked the palace gate, didn't they think of leaving a way for themselves to survive? What is the difference between the palace and a large tomb at this time?

A rebel colonel shouted wildly, and led the siege soldiers beside him to drill into the opening, although there was no space, but even if they dig, they had to dig open this city gate, the military order was like a mountain, and the soldiers of Qingguo had never been afraid of death on the battlefield.

However, a black spear stabbed out like lightning from the only gap above the rocky earth, and stabbed the officer in the throat with a single shot, and blood burst out!

............ Below the Imperial City, ten steps behind the rockery gravel piled up in the long palace gate, three hundred forbidden soldiers calmly and nervously watched any movement in the palace gate, and their chief officer had already led a team into the middle of it, and with such an advantageous terrain at this time, there was no reason for the rebels to attack so lightly.

Above the imperial city, the eldest prince indifferently watched the rebels under his feet attack stronger than one wave, raised his right arm, and fiercely descended. The pro-soldier beside him received the order, quickly shook the yellow flag in his hand, and along the line directly in front of the imperial city, hundreds of forbidden soldiers at the head of the city acted at the same time, lifted the sack under his feet, carefully tore it open, and then sprinkled it on the head of the rebel who was no longer within the crossbow arrow shè boundary below!

The yellowish powder, like a snow that was not clean, fell one after another, enveloping the more than a thousand rebels closest to the palace in an instant.

The rebel generals were shocked, thinking that it was the poison of the Supervision Yuan, and ordered their subordinates to pay attention.

............ It's not poison powder, the three places are not Fan Xian's tofu factory, and they don't have the ability to produce so many poisons. These yellow powders were all shoddy gunpowder rushed in from the lowest floor of the square building under Fan Xian's order before the forbidden army gathered into the palace in the early morning.

The Imperial City has never been prepared to meet the siege of a powerful army, so there is no hot oil here, nor is there too much to burn.

The eldest prince glanced at Fan Xian, who had been calmly looking at the rebel camp in the distance, and nodded slightly.

"Put!"

The cronies who had been following the eldest prince had a fierce look on his face, and he shouted orders to all the forbidden troops above the imperial city.

On the imperial city, where the rain of arrows had been sparse before, the most intensive rain of arrows since the siege war suddenly broke out, and these arrow rains were all with a red light, just like the inauspicious face that Qin Heng's first fierce general saw before he died under the Zhengyang Gate.

The rocket arrived at the city in an instant, and he didn't need to pay attention to any accuracy, he only needed to shè into the powder.

The sky is beautiful, the autumn has risen, the weather is getting warmer, the morning breeze has gone, and the powder that has been sprinkled has not been blown away by the wind, let alone blown back to the city by Fan Xian's worry, but has formed a large area of fog, which shrouded more than a thousand rebels under the city.

The rocket entered the fog, and in an instant, it burned at an extremely terrifying speed, and countless fireheads burned vigorously, and quickly connected into a large sea of fire, like a fire dragon lying under the imperial city, and like a calm lake under the golden light, gradually waves, gradually churning, extremely bright, extremely hot, and even covered the brilliance of the rì head in the sky.

And what about the people in the fog? they howled and burned, and turned into countless poor fire men, desperately trying to run out of the fog, but how could such a large scale of burning be borne by such ordinary creatures?

Countless burning people rushed wildly in the square, and the miserable howls soared into the sky, and the scene looked extremely terrifying!

None of the burning rebel soldiers were able to run back to their camp, most of them turned into charred corpses under Miyagi, and some of the burning fire men only had time to run to the square, and fell to the ground with a thud, convulsing with the remaining flames and rising green smoke on their bodies.

How tragic this situation is.

There was a panic in the rebel camp in front of the street building in the distance, even the Qing ** team, which was famous for its strict military discipline, still felt scared at this moment, no one thought that the forbidden army guarding the city would have such terrifying means.

The prince's face was full of iron, while Old Man Qin looked at the imperial city with an indifferent face, and said slowly: "Such a vicious method can only be done by Fan Xian. ”

The smell of burnt paste in the square stimulated everyone's hearts, even the forbidden army in the imperial city felt a trace of panic and helplessness, looking at those terrible scenes downstairs, some people even had white lips, thinking that those charred corpses, could they have been killed by themselves?

After this devastating blow, the first wave of rebels who entered the imperial city returned to the camp in a dismal manner, but there were not many people who returned to the camp. The Imperial City was finally held narrowly, but the rebels did not make a second attack.

Obviously, both those defending the city and those besieging the city were shocked by this round of extremely bloody and terrifying fire mist, and they needed a certain amount of time to digest it to stabilize their own military hearts. And the initiator of this terrifying fire attack, Fan Xian's face was unusually calm, he looked at the camp of the rebels in the distance, pursed his lips and said nothing.

The eldest prince saw that Fan Xian's right hand hanging down his sleeve was trembling slightly, and the bloodshot in his eyes became more and more dense.

The eldest prince didn't expect that these gunpowder powders in the Supervision Yuan would play such a terrifying role, looking at the current scene, he had been through the blood and fire of the Western Regions for a long time, and he did not have any undeserved feelings, but he still felt shocked, if these powders can be used in this way, what kind of changes should occur in the war after the world?

"Today was luck. Fan Xian didn't look back at him, and said softly: "There is no wind and no rain today, so as to have such a good effect." ”

Then he slowly lowered his head, since he took control of the inner library, he has always been extremely attentive to the joint research and development work of Bingfang and the three places, but deep down he also understands that his mother Ye Qingmei has worked other ordnance and people's livelihood back then, but it is strictly forbidden to use gunpowder in this world.

Even when he rescued Sean in the capital, the Inspectorate only provided a cart of gunpowder, and the use of gunpowder in this world is still so clumsy, even worse than the workshop that made homemade firecrackers in the previous life.

Fan Xian is the only one in this world who knows that the sawdust foam flying all over the sky will cause a big explosion, let alone the powder of gunpowder. Fan Xian couldn't help but be a little worried, this scene would open Pandora's box for this continent. But after a blink of an eye, he was immediately relieved that the steel process of Neiku was not up to par, and there was no need to worry about the advent of the era of hot weapons. And as he said to the eldest prince, the main reason for this is that the fire in defending the city has such a great effect, and his luck is as strong as ever.

As for the tragic scene in front of him, in fact, Fan Xian also felt palpitations, he had seen countless corpses since he was a child, and he had killed countless people with his own hands, but when he saw so many charred corpses appear in front of him, he still felt a burst of vomiting.

This is the battlefield, the real battlefield.

It is precisely because of this that Fan Xian has strengthened his determination to win, if a person comes to a world with some kind of underworld mission, he believes that his mission is the agreement with Begonia, if he wants to reach that agreement, he must live today.

Killing with a knife is killing, killing with a gun is killing, and burning people with gunpowder...... It's also killing, except for being more terrifying and ugly, there is no big difference.

............ After all, this rebellion belonged to a civil war, and both sides of the war were Qingguo's jīng Rui troops, and the scene just now made too many people feel cold. The rebels returned to the camp to lick their wounds, ready to start a more powerful attack with the resentment of revenge again, and the expressions on the faces of the forbidden soldiers at the head of the city were also a little complicated, and many people no longer dared to even look at the little Fan who was dressed in black and stood indifferently at the head of the city.

The smell of burning, the remaining embers and the burning in front of the palace, the vermilion palace wall, the green bricks on the wall, were all burned out one after another, it looked like this beautiful and solemn palace was like someone had cut countless scars with a knife.

The eldest prince looked at the scene in front of him, slowly glanced at the forbidden army on the city wall, and said to the Quartet in a calm and firm voice: "This is war! Remember, what is under the city is rebellion! If they are allowed to attack the palace, our Daqing Dynasty will fall into darkness from now on, and the people will never come out, and you will be crushed to pieces!"

"What is under the city? The eldest prince shouted: "You are all soldiers who have followed me and come back from the west, what are we fighting the Hu people in the grassland for?

"I command you, from this moment on, you must treat these rebels as Hu people!"

"一qiē for the sake of Qingguo! majesty xià is watching you from the sky!"

............ It's not a bloody word, but these words come out of the manager's mouth, but they have an unexpectedly soothing effect. The eyes of the forbidden soldiers on the city gradually brightened, and they were no longer gloomy and dazed.

"For the sake of Qingguo!"

Everyone in the imperial city shouted loudly, even the three princes standing next to Fan Xian were no exception, only the eyes of the empress dowager who was restrained by Fan Xian flashed a trace of mockery and sadness.

At this moment, a heavy sound of footsteps reached the city, and a group of eunuchs, under the supervision of the officials of the Supervision Yuan, carried three black coffins and walked through the city with difficulty. The coffin lay heavily on the city wall with a few muffled sounds.

Everyone looked at the three coffins in amazement.

Fan Xian gently took the hand of the third prince, stood behind the eldest prince, and whispered to the forbidden soldiers, ministers, and subordinates of the Supervision Yuan around him: "We are the courtiers of His Majesty, and we will stop those rebellious plots by His Majesty, no matter whether we succeed or fail, we will not take a step back." ”

The eldest prince's face was stern, and then Fan Xian's words said: "There are three coffins here, I and Chengping and An are one person, if the palace is broken, the three of us will die here, which can be regarded as filial piety to our father and loyalty to Qingguo." ”

He glanced at everyone, and then said slowly: "Defend the palace city, can you have confidence?"

Even the bloody trick of carrying the coffin to fight was moved out by Fan Xian, and the soldiers who defended the city were not enthusiastic, and shouted in unison: "Yes!"

............ Fan Xian took Li Chengping's hand and said in a harmonious voice, "Are you afraid?"

The third prince thought for a while and shook his head vigorously: "Don't be afraid!

"Good. Fan Xian glanced at him with a smile, and didn't say anything more, just thinking that if the variables didn't happen, the palace would really be broken, and he had to flee for his life with the third child, just hoping that this kid wouldn't scold himself at that time.

The rebels in the distance began to gather again, and the morale suppressed by Fan Xian's poisonous trick seemed to have successfully converted into resentment against the palace, how long did Qingguo's army pass through the battlefield, this ability to mobilize soldiers, no one is worse than others, the rebel soldiers looked at the palace, and began to be filled with a naked murderous aura.

A sea of fire looks terrifying, but in fact the damage to the rebels is not great. Fan Xian looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but tremble slightly, secretly thinking that if he miscalculated, the next steps would only be to kill many people on his side.

He knew that he was completely ignorant of military affairs, so from beginning to end, he did not propose any suggestions for the arrangement of the eldest prince's troops, but calmly acted as a bystander and helper.

At this moment, however, he was going to make an unusually bold suggestion.

"How many Forbidden Army do we have on our hands?"

"Two thousand seven hundred, basically nothing to lose. ”

Fan Xian listened to the sound of fighting in the area of Taipingfang, frowned slightly, and said, "Do you think we can hold it?"

The eldest prince's sword eyebrows were already smeared with a layer of intent, and he said directly: "Even if the father emperor personally leads the troops, he can't hold it." ”

The corners of his lips suddenly flashed with a hint of self-deprecation: "The disparity between the enemy and me is too great, if the Western Army is not disbanded by my father, if I let ...... No, even if I only lead one-third of the troops of the Western Army, I dare to fight a decisive battle with the rebels under the city. ”

The eldest prince took a deep breath: "But don't worry, if you want to lose, it won't be so bleak...... These generals and soldiers under my command have all eaten the flesh of the Hu people and drank the blood of the Hu people on the grassland...... The Qin family, hmph, the old man has not personally led the troops for twenty years, and the soldiers of the Kyoto garrison division are even more lazy to the extreme, and the only one is the Dingzhou army......"

Fan Xian intercepted: "In the round of offense and defense just now, I noticed a problem. ”

"What's the problem?"

Fan Xian leaned into the ear of the eldest prince and whispered a few words.

"What are you thinking?" the eldest prince's eyes shone coldly.

"I'm thinking about gambling...... Fan Xian lowered his head and said quietly: "We have no hole cards in our hands, if we continue like this, it will be a dead end after all." ”

The eldest prince frowned and said, "War is not child's play, what you said is too ridiculous. ”

Fan Xian smiled bitterly, "It's really ridiculous, it's just that I really can't think of any flop chances." ”

He glanced back at the three coffins that shone with black light, and his eyes gradually became resolute, yes, he still kept his hole cards, but he didn't see everyone's hole cards clearly, no matter what, he wouldn't use them.

After the eldest prince was silent for a moment, he suddenly said, "How do you want to bet?"

"Dig up the rocks at the palace gate. Fan Xian raised his face, through the scorched and slightly warm air in the square, and looked at Ye Chong, the commander of the Dingzhou Army who was whispering something to the second prince on the side, his eyes were slightly condensed, "We are ready to rush out at any time and give ourselves a chance......

Then he smiled mildly: "A surprise to the world." ”

At this moment, Ye Chong, who was discussing with the second prince, seemed to feel the gaze on the imperial city, raised his head, and glanced back with an unusually calm and indifferent look.
