Chapter 600: The end of the hero is bleak
According to Yuan Shao's order. In the middle of the night, many Yuan soldiers began to move, taking out all the explosives buried under the main roads in the city, and then carefully packed them. By the time of the fourth watch, the gunpowder in the city had been cleared, so Yuan Shao sent a team of men and horses to drive dozens of stuffed carriages from the east gate.
Hidden in the shadows, the Shadow Squad kept an eye on the busy Yuan Shao soldiers, and when they watched the convoy full of gunpowder begin to pass through the East City Gate, someone risked their lives to light fireworks specially designed to transmit signals.
Many people in the city who had not yet fallen asleep suddenly saw a brilliant spark burst out in the sky near the east gate, and they were still wondering how someone could set off fireworks in the middle of the night. Only Yuan Shao's first adviser Fu Zhi reacted quickly, and he realized that it was most likely a hidden spy in the city who was reporting the news outside the city, so he quickly advised Yuan Shao to strengthen his guard and not let the convoy transporting gunpowder leave the city gate for the time being.
However, Frustration still reacted a little late, and it was too late to change.
The army of the Jin Kingdom, which had already surrounded Linji City, was waiting for the sky in a certain direction in the city to light up with brilliant fireworks, because in the distance of the four gates of Linji City, there were several "big buckets" with black holes, which were also the "killer weapon" that Tai Shici had people dismantle from the warship and use to deal with Yuan Shao's gunpowder troops.
According to the prior agreement, the launchers on the four gates, no matter which one of the gates found fireworks in the sky, immediately fired a thunderbolt into the city of Rinzai, and the landing point was near the fireworks rising. This is also the reason why the Shadow Team member who ignited the communication fireworks is in danger, because if the thunder that falls from the head of Linji City happens to fall on the head of this team member, then he will really be miserable.
Several "big buckets" have already adjusted the firing angle and direction, if they are launched at the same time, they can try to ensure that the landing point of the thunder just covers the inside and outside of the city gate hole, and will not fall into the dwellings of the people in the city. Of course, this is not an absolute thing, after all, this new "big bucket" weapon has not yet been finalized and mass-produced, and its stability and handling are difficult to fully guarantee. If you accidentally injure someone in the city, you can only be unlucky if you are hit.
The archers waiting outside the east gate clearly saw a brilliant fireworks blooming in the sky, so they did not hesitate to light the fuses behind the five "big buckets" fart/strands, and after a burst of snorts, the five thunderbolts let out a cheerful roar, and flew towards the east gate of Rinzai City one after another.
Luckily, when the five thunderbolts fell, one of them landed in the convoy in the city, and the other fell in the convoy that had just left the city. Although the explosion after the thunder landed was limited, it was enough to effectively cause the gunpowder explosion in the carriage.
The thunderbolt fell near the carriage full of gunpowder, and the consequences were naturally very serious......
In a short period of time, there was a violent explosion near the east gate of Rinzai City, whether it was the officials, soldiers and people in the city, or the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom waiting quietly outside the city, when they saw the scene of the huge power that could destroy everything in the world burst out in an instant, everyone made a relatively similar action, that is, to wipe the sweat beads on their foreheads with their hands.
There was an explosion without warning, and the scene was so violent and terrifying that people could not describe it in precise words.
When the Jin army outside the east gate looked at the east gate of Linji City, which was turned into ruins in a dazzling firelight, they quickly put away the five "big buckets", and then approached the east gate, and immediately smoked to clean up the broken corpses and rubble, and threw these hot bricks and stones into the moat.
The long ladder was carried by the soldiers to the moat, and then erected under the root of the city wall without hindrance, and the brothers of the Jin State Sailor, who were not afraid of water, climbed across the moat from the ladder in a nervous and orderly manner, even if someone occasionally fell, they would immediately swim to the river, which would not affect the speed and determination of the officers and soldiers of the Sailor Division to cross the river.
By the time the Jin soldiers in charge of attacking the east gate had completely occupied the east gate, many of the Yuan soldiers defending the city had not fully recovered from the explosion. Since the east gate had been breached, the 35,000 soldiers besieging the city immediately adjusted their deployment, and more than 10,000 dragoons immediately rushed to the gap in the east gate from the north, west, and south, and the remaining 15,000 officers and soldiers of the naval division strictly followed the practice of stationing 5,000 people outside one city gate, and were responsible for blocking all the Yuan soldiers who intended to flee in the city.
Tai Shici's intention of sending troops to the formation is very obvious, that is, even a fly in Linji City will never be allowed to fly out of the encirclement. In this battle, he decided to eat Yuan Shao.
As the sturdy pontoon bridge outside the east gate was erected, the dragoon soldiers who rushed from the other three gates quickly poured into the east of Linji City, and Tai Shici himself was also on the front line, ready to launch the final fatal blow against Yuan Shao.
Among the 20,000 soldiers left in Linji City, 10,000 were euphorbia soldiers trained by Zhang He himself, which was also the hole card that Yuan Shao used to save his life. When a violent explosion occurred at the East City Gate, Yuan Shao, accompanied by Fu Zhi, immediately went to the headquarters where the Euphorbia were stationed, where they wanted to find a safe shelter.
Without the Euphorbia under the command of Zhang He, although he is still an elite soldier, he has lost his soul. On the contrary, the sailors and dragoon warriors led by Tai Shici are now in a link where their enthusiasm for victory is extremely high. Under the advantages of one and the other, the euphorbia has fallen behind.
Since the soldiers of the Dragoon Army entered the city, they were ready for street fighting, and they did not rush to clear the streets and alleys in Rinzai City one by one, although there were brothers who were ambushed and injured or even killed from time to time on the way forward, they still unswervingly advanced slowly from Dongcheng District to Xicheng District.
Yuan Shao personally commanded two charges near Xicheng District, but unfortunately they were all beaten back by the soldiers of the Jin State Naval Division who were strictly guarding outside the city. The five "big buckets" in the black hole are not the buckets that the peasants really use to draw water, but the big killing weapons that harvest human lives, as long as their holes are aimed at the city gate, then no matter how many fierce halberds rush out, they will also be shot into a piece of flesh by the ruthless gunpowder.
At dawn, Yuan Shao's soldiers had been compressed into a very small area by the dragoons. At this time, Yuan Shao, who had come to an end, finally found that he had no way to retreat and had nowhere to hide......
PS: The twelfth volume is finally over, and according to Nandao's concept, Yuan Shao was successfully destroyed. In the next step, Zhao Xing's steps will be bigger, and many miracles are waiting for him to create!

Recently, it is rare for book friends to be so enthusiastic, and Nandao also insists on three watches every day until the end of the month, and I believe you can see my hard work and efforts.
I have nothing to say to those pseudo-book friends who don't spend money on books, don't want to vote, and occasionally dislike the slow pace of updates in South Province.
are all raised by your father's mother, not only do you not provide the author with a guarantee of survival, but also ridicule the amateur author who works during the day to support his family, and stays up late at night to light the lamp and force the code word, is your heart flesh long?
Drink too much, talk a few words, everything is a floating cloud......
For those book friends who have been supporting me, Nandao continues to work hard!
