Chapter 472: Breaking the City

"Rumble······

A loud explosion, suddenly sounded at dawn, waking up those who were still asleep.

A large mushroom cloud rises from the eastern part of the city wall.

When the smoke and dust cleared, I saw that the section of the city wall collapsed violently, and a gap of more than three feet appeared.

For the siege army, a gateway to the city was opened.

Through the clairvoyant mirror, Jia Cong, who saw this scene from afar, not only shook his head in disappointment.

The power of 500 explosives bags and 5,000 catties of gunpowder is still a little smaller, more than twice as powerful as the gunpowder made by himself, but for now, it is enough.

Li Biao, Tie Zhu, Qingwen and others couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw this scene.

"This ······"

"Dashuai, the city wall is broken like this?"

This kind of scene is also the first time they have seen it, and it is also the first time they have participated in siege warfare.

They had all participated in the siege battles, so they knew the fierceness of the siege war.

With such an easy break, the rest of the battle is much simpler.

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Otherwise, wouldn't we be working in vain."

Niu Xiaoyong said excitedly: "Dashuai, let us take the lead in the forbidden army, and ensure that the first wave rushes into the city and will not embarrass Dashuai."

No matter how you say this, this forbidden army is also its own headquarters, and the opportunity is still given to them.

Jia Cong nodded and said, "Yes, pass on the commander's order, and the whole army will attack."

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

"Winter Winter Winter Winter ·····"

"Woo woo ······"

Outside the east city gate, the war drums roared, the low horn sounded through the sky, and the siege troops lined up in a phalanx and launched a siege battle against Yulin City.

Immediately afterwards, the southern city, the western city, and the northern city also sounded the horn of attack.

"Kill."

Niu Xiaoyong took the lead, led the forbidden army, and rushed towards the gap in the city wall.

At this time, the rebels in the city had not yet reacted, they thought that Jia Cong was waiting for the news of their surrender, and they never thought that Jia Cong would choose to attack the city at this time.

They were all immersed in their sleep, unaware, until the explosion sounded, and these people woke up in a daze.

Wang Yan got up and shouted outside, "What's going on outside, how can there be such a big movement."

The guard on duty said, "General Hui, the sound came from the direction of the East City Gate, like the explosion of gunpowder."

Wang Yan frowned, feeling a little bad in his heart, and ordered the guards, "Send someone to investigate immediately and find out what happened."

"It's the general, the little one will send someone to check."

Before the guard could leave, the earth-shattering war drums suddenly sounded, followed by the trumpets sounding in unison, resounding throughout the sky of Yulin City.

Wang Yan's face changed, and he shouted loudly: "It's not good, the official army is going to attack the city, and the order is to go down, and all the soldiers will immediately go to the city wall to defend."

When the guard heard this, he froze in place.

Wang Yan shouted angrily, "Don't go yet."

The guard came back to his senses and quickly responded, "Yes, the little one will give the order."

Wang Yan quickly put on his battle armor, picked up his war knife, and hurried towards the east city gate.

I secretly scolded Jia Cong in my heart, the dignified Ning Guogong, the commander of the First Army, is so despicable and shameless, 100,000 people against 10,000 of his own, and he actually engaged in a secret sneak attack, it is really shameless.

Hearing the sound of war drums and shouts of killing from all four directions, Wang Yan's heart was cold, and his footsteps couldn't help but pause.

The defenders of the city were defenseless, and now it was really over, and there was no chance of surrender.

With a slight sigh, he hurried towards the city wall.

······

Niu Xiaoyong smoothly led people to rush into the gap in the city wall, and almost did not encounter them

to blocking.

A few rebels who were on duty nearby and rushed over when they heard the movement were also killed by the forbidden troops who swarmed in.

Niu Xiaoyong divided a team of men and horses, killed in the direction of the city gate, seized control of the city gate, opened the city gate, and let more soldiers in, which was also the order Jia Cong gave him.

He led another team of men and horses to directly kill the government and occupy the treasury first, preventing the rebels from dying and burning the supplies.

At the same time, the other three city walls were also attacked by officials and troops outside the city.

Under the command of the officer, groups of soldiers carried ladders and rushed to the city wall with a loud roar.

Come to the city wall, set up a ladder, and scramble to climb up the city wall.

At this time, there were not many defenders on the city wall, and as soon as they appeared, they were shot and killed by the archers who were responsible for covering below.

As the rebels increased and there were more and more arrows, a flurry of arrows were shot on the city wall, and many of the soldiers under the city were shot and fell to the ground screaming, and many soldiers who climbed on the ladder fell down screaming after being shot.

The rolling wood and thunder stones fell one after another, and the casualties on both sides increased rapidly, and the screams and roars continued to sound.

The rebels were always a little slower, and after a few moments, some soldiers climbed the wall and fought the rebels on the wall.

As more and more officers and soldiers climbed the city wall, the two sides launched a fierce battle on the city wall.

The officers and soldiers attacked the city from all sides, and the rebels in the city only had 10,000 horses, and there were only 2,500 people on one wall on the same side.

I don't know who shouted coldly: "Oh no, the eastern city wall has been breached, and the official army has entered the city, run quickly."

This was like a fuse, and the rebels who were still fighting were all blinded when they heard the news, and then they scattered and fled for their lives.

The officers and soldiers successfully attacked the city, opened the city gates, and more soldiers rushed into Yulin City.

For a while, the shouts and screams in the city sounded everywhere, and the balance of victory was completely tilted towards Jia Cong's side.

······

"General, it's not good, the officers and soldiers have already been killed."

Wang Yan took his own soldiers, and just walked less than half the distance, he met Niu Xiaoyong's team head-on.

Looking at the officers and soldiers who were swarming over, and then looking at the twenty or thirty guards around him, Wang Yan's heart was cold, it was over, it was all over, and there was no way to survive at all.

At this moment, Wang Yan was completely desperate.

Then he drew his war knife with a hideous face, and shouted angrily, "Brothers, fight with them."

Niu Xiaoyong, who was not far away, also saw dozens of rebels here.

Seeing that they were still fighting with themselves, they couldn't help but laugh and said, "My army has already entered the city, you can't wait for the Fighting Beast of the Trapped Beast, and you dare to be strong here, and those who know each other surrender quickly, maybe you can save a small life, otherwise you will be killed on the spot."

"Kill, kill, kill······"

The forbidden army behind him shouted as they quickly gathered around.

The guards beside Wang Yan quickly stepped forward to protect Wang Yan behind him, and shouted loudly: "General, you hurry up, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of running out of firewood, brothers stay and delay for a while, for the general to break off."

Wang Yan smiled miserably: "It's late, it's late, and now I can't leave if I want to."

He glanced at the people around him and said, "Brothers, this will be my last battle, and I will only die. If any of you want to surrender, I will not stop you, you stand aside, maybe you will survive, and our brothers will see you again in the next life."

"General, we are willing to die with the general."

Wang Yan laughed and said, "Okay, worthy of being my good brother, I won't lose anything in this life, we will be brothers in the next life, brothers, kill with me."

"Kill, kill, kill······"

Wang Yan laughed, waved his knife to reproduce Niu Xiaoyong, and the guards behind him also rushed forward.

Niu Xiaoyong sneered and shouted

He said, "It's really stubborn, since you are looking for death, then I will fulfill you, brothers, kill me, don't spare your hands."

After saying that, he directly swung his knife to meet it, and the two war knives instantly knocked down together, and the two of them each took a step back, evenly matched, half a catty against eight taels.

Niu Xiaoyong shouted, "Let's go up together and kill them."

Looking at Niu Xiaoyong, who didn't speak of martial arts, he brought five people to kill together, Wang Yan barely resisted a few rounds, and was killed by the five people together. The guards were immediately slaughtered.

······

Battles happen faster and end faster.

When a red sun rises in the sky, the battle in the city is completely over.

Jia Cong did not rush into the city, but sent an order for the various departments to search for fish in the city, and sent Tie Zhu and Li Biao in to liquidate the local gentry who had defected to the rebels, as well as the black-hearted merchants who supported the rebels.

These people are all unstable elements, and it is better to get rid of them directly and confiscate their family property.

Don't wait for yourself to leave, and these people will make trouble behind their backs.

The strength of the number of people is great, and in just one day, the entire Yulin City was cleaned.

It wasn't until the morning of the next day that Jia Cong slowly entered Yulin City with a group of personal soldiers and logistics personnel.

Niu Xiaoyong led Jia Cong to the mansion, and the other generals were already waiting in the lobby.

"Meet the Commander."

Jia Cong waved his hand and said: "You generals don't need to be polite, the victory in this battle depends on your courage to kill the enemy, and your merits, this commander will let people record them one by one, and play Your Majesty."

"Thank you to the marshal, the last general and others dare not take credit, this battle is all the work of the marshal's strategy, the clever plan to break the city, I will wait for the submission."

All the generals saluted in unison and looked at Jia Cong with admiration.

Jia Cong smiled, through these three battles, he had established his prestige and completely convinced these generals.

In the next battle, Jia Cong will be more handy when he commands, like an arm.

"Okay, you don't need to be too humble, no one can take away your credit, let's talk about the casualties of this battle, and the gains this time."

Logistics Officer Song Yuanshan stepped forward and arched his hand, "Commander Qiqi, in this battle, more than 8,300 enemies were killed, more than 1,000 people were captured, and none of the rebel leaders escaped. More than 230 people were killed and more than 300 wounded.

This time, a total of 50,000 stone of food, countless weapons and armor, and some strategic materials in the treasury have also become our trophies. In addition, a large number of gold and silver treasures, totaling 350,000 taels of silver, and more than a dozen chests of jewelry, were found from the homes of the leaders of the rebels."

Jia Cong nodded, these guys actually looted such a little silver, which is a bit unworthy of the name.

How to say that it is more than 100,000 people, and the average talent is three taels of silver, which is indeed a lot less.

Thinking about the fact that these people marched all the way, it was impossible to bring too much silver, and this silver was probably looted in Yulin City.

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

Train your soldiers and horses well and prepare for the next big battle."

"Yes, my subordinates will obey the orders of the commander."

All the generals clasped their fists together and saluted Jia Cong again.

Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "Okay, you all go down, restrain your subordinates, don't make trouble for me in the city, once you are caught and severely punished, you will be punished for mismanagement as a superior, and there will be joint punishments, so give me a serious point."

Zheng Huaicheng said, "Dashuai, I don't know how to punish you?"

Jia Cong said with a smile: "In troubled times, you should use heavy canons, from now on, anyone who robs, kills, and robs people and women in the city will be killed. If a soldier makes a mistake, all the generals of his team will be affected, and as a punishment, all the rewards in this battle will be withdrawn."

Guo Dazhi said, "Dashuai, isn't this a little too ruthless?"

Jia Cong said with a smile: "If you are not ruthless, how can you be obedient, if you don't want your hard-earned rewards to be wasted, then take care of your subordinates, everyone supervises each other, isn't it okay?"

From now on, all the soldiers of the army are not allowed to leave the camp without permission, but they will stay in the camp and give me a good training."

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

Seeing that Jia Cong was not joking, the generals also hurriedly became serious and replied respectfully.

After all the generals left, Li Rong stayed.

He said to Jia Cong, "Ning Guogong, isn't it a little inappropriate for you to privately use war to capture and reward your subordinates?"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Master Li, you want the horses to run, but you don't want the horses to graze, do you think the horses can still run? I also did this to boost everyone's morale and prepare in advance for the subsequent big battle.

A little money is nothing to the entire war situation. Besides, I am using the seizures of war, and I have absolute control over this part of the property."
