"Rack up the cannon!"

Shi Jin carried a blood-dripping three-pointed, two-edged knife and stood between two headless corpses and roared.

Behind him, the soldiers immediately swarmed forward.

Among the soldiers were gun wagons with trebuchets......

At this time, there are many types of trebuchets, in fact, even two people use them, throwing half a kilogram of small stones miniature type, including this kind of wheels specially used for field warfare, soon a small trebuchet was erected in the royal street, and then a piece of more than a dozen pounds of stones in the leather bag loaded.

Shi Jin directly carried Cai Jing's head and put it into the skin of a small trebuchet.

"Zhao Guanjia, your Taishi Cai is here!"

He howled.

The surrounding soldiers laughed.

"Put!"

Shi Jin roared.

More than a dozen soldiers suddenly pulled the ropes.

With the raising of the long arm, Cai Jing's head flew into the sky.

And at this moment, all the trebuchets that were erected shot out of stones under the pull of the soldiers, and the stones weighing more than ten catties crossed the sky with Cai Jing's head, and then landed on the platform of Xuande Gate.

Although these stones are not large, and the hundreds of pounds of stone eggs of the counterweight trebuchet are not the same level, they still cause heavy damage to the wooden towers, and the first two platforms bear the brunt of the fall of stones, and those pavilions that cost a lot of money to build and are specially used to show the majesty of the Great Song Dynasty are constantly reduced to rubble and broken wood under the heavy blows that fall from the sky.

But that's not enough......

Soon a medium-sized trebuchet that required thirty or forty people to pull the rope was assembled.

Well, this is indeed medium-sized.

The really large one has to be pulled by 150 people, which is the disadvantage of the human trebuchet, but compared with the counterweight trebuchet, the simplicity and convenience of the human trebuchet is also incomparable.

"Get on the thunderball!"

Shi Jin roared excitedly.

On the carriage that had just arrived behind him, a soldier took down a wooden box, carried it directly to the leather bag of the trebuchet, and then opened the box and took out a thunderbolt, but this is a cheap version, because the cost of casting hollow balls by the lost wax method is too high, so the craftsmen of the iron-smelting workshop made this for the Chang Shengjun.

Early flowering bombs, to be precise.

Two hemispheres were cast with pig iron and then buckled together and welded together.

Still, there is no woodwind fuse.

This is not needed either, after all, it is not fired by artillery.

Immediately afterwards, the soldier put the twenty-pound thunderbolt into the leather bag, took out the fire fold and prepared to light the fire, and the surrounding people immediately dispersed, only those who were pulling the rope waited tremblingly, but their reaction was completely superfluous, and the power of this thing was actually a large grenade......

"Put!"

Shi Jin said reservedly.

The soldier lit the fuse as fast as he could, then turned around and ran.

The soldiers who pulled the rope did not hesitate to pull the rope and flew out with a thunderbolt of fuse burning smoke trails.

Everyone, including those officials, was watching its trajectory, and then it lived up to expectations and hit the right side of the quetai, but because the fuse was too short, before it could really fall, it turned into an exploding flame over the queting, because of the limitations of the manufacturing method, it did not produce a few fragments, it was just a half. Then two pieces of pig iron smashed down with the speed of explosion in the fire and smoke, one smashed directly into the Que Pavilion, and the other hit an officer who was extremely unlucky.

Several pounds of iron, pushed by the force of the explosion, was really comparable to a cannonball, and half of the officer's body disappeared in an instant.

Then the bloody half of the corpse fell.

He was under Wang Zongmi.

The soldiers around him were all scum and scum, and then this scene made these scumbags who could still hold on scream in horror, and they immediately began to flee......

"Your Highness, Xuande Gate can't be guarded!"

Liu Qi said gloomily.

Indeed, the entire Right Quetai has collapsed.

The scum screamed in horror one by one and ran desperately to this side, Wang Zongwei had already gone to suppress it himself, but it was obviously useless, because at this time, behind the trebuchet outside the city, the second thunderbolt had already been loaded. Although the actual killing effect of this kind of thing is pitifully low compared to the cost, it is really effective in dealing with the morale of the scumbags, if it is all his subordinates, he is confident that he will stick to the end with Xuandemen.

But these ......

Don't mention it!

"Uncle Xin, it's all up to Uncle Xin to be lonely and this big Song Jiangshan!"

Zhao Huan said pitifully.

He thought that Liu Qi was also ready to abandon him.

"Your Highness, don't panic, the ministers will never abandon Your Highness.

The only way to do this is to evacuate the Xuande Gate, leaving these here to temporarily contain them, and the ministers and subordinates protect His Royal Highness to go to Genyue to receive the official's house and break through together.

Now Yang Feng has led the army out of the city, and the rebels in the city have also entered the inner city, and there is no rebel army in the outer city, it is nothing more than some militia, and the ministers are all elite, enough to protect the officials and His Royal Highness to break through, let's avoid the north of the city defended by the rebel party to the west of the city, and then take the Jin Yaomen out of the city to Xijing. Yao Gu and others are leading the western army to rush to King Qin, after we meet with it, the official family and His Royal Highness can be safe, and the rest is to recapture the capital, which is beyond the reach of the ministers. ”

Liu Qi said.

These scum can't be carried at all.

He would rather take his subordinates to protect the Zhao family's father and son to break through, and it is better than mixing with these scumbags, and he now misses the time when he was with Wang Yue.

"Yes, Your Highness, even if you stick to the Xuande Gate, it is meaningless, the left and right are desperate to fight, so it is better to simply break through."

Wu Ge said.

Zhao Huan took a deep breath......

"Uncle, leave it to my uncle and teacher here, and I will invite Your Majesty to come here!"

He suddenly shouted at Wang Zongmi.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the ministers should live and die with Xuandemen!"

Chen Dong, who followed Wang Zongwei to suppress the rout, immediately shouted.

Wang Zongwei and Geng Nanzhong looked at each other.

Of course, it doesn't matter what they think at the moment.

Zhao Huan, under the protection of Liu Qi and Wu Ge, quickly left the Xuande Building, and Liu Qi's subordinates also retreated, including Wu Ge's family members.

Wang Zongwei and Geng Nanzhong had obviously guessed something, and the two of them also wanted to escape, but they were immediately targeted by Chen Dong and those students, and the two had no choice but to continue to hold on without tears, but fortunately, Shi Jin outside did not find anything abnormal, and this old bandit was obviously more interested in smashing the Xuande Gate......

In fact, from the outside, the prince is basically waiting for death.

The entire inner and outer cities of Kaifeng were taken.

There are still the Imperial City and Genyue left, which is equivalent to the northern part of the inner city, but the north of this piece is the outer city, where there are more than 100,000 militiamen, so Shi Jin is not in a hurry.

King Yun is not in a hurry.

In fact, Zhao Kai prefers this, if he immediately takes down the Xuande Gate and catches his brother, he will have to face the embarrassment of how to get killed, but this can solve this problem, if his brother is stoned to death and killed by a thunderbolt, that is the perfect result. In short, just when he was happily throwing stones and thunderbolts outside, Zhao Huan had quietly left Xuande Gate and entered the Great Nei under the protection of Liu Qi and Wu Ge and more than two hundred elites.

At this time, fierce battles were raging outside the city.

"Forward, Ma, Lao Tzu can actually beat the festival with a bag on the dock!"

He Jin roared excitedly.

Laughter immediately erupted around him.

In the midst of this laughter, countless wooden feather arrows of the Divine Arm Bow whistled by, constantly hitting the shield walls of the shield carts, and the impact sound was like a hail hit, but even if the Divine Arm Bow was shot, it could not penetrate the double protection of the wooden plank and the cowhide.

And in the protection of the shield chariot, those victorious infantry walked forward cautiously with their heads bowed and their waists bent.

"Closer, ten steps!"

He Jin shouted.

Suddenly, there was a strange whistling.

Immediately after that, the shield wall in front of him was pierced by a terrifying iron feather arrow, and the huge crossbow arrow flew out with the broken wood in an instant, and he instinctively turned to one side, and then the iron feather arrow whistled past, and even the iron feather of the arrow swept over the heart shield on his chest. The huge arrow fired from the crossbow immediately hit the shield cart behind, but because the strength was exhausted, it only pierced through the shield cart, and then it got stuck in the shield wall......

"Old Wu, you're not dead, are you?"

He Jin asked.

Immediately after that, a head poked out from behind the shield wall, and the familiar face was terrified......

Apparently not dead.

"Keep going!"

He Jin shouted with satisfaction.

The two soldiers pushing the shield cart in front of him also continued forward in horror.

Behind them, there were archers, pikemen, axe gunners, and swords and battle axes, and so on, and countless shield carts escorted 10,000 elite infantry, and suddenly approached the opposite formation like a tide in the wilderness.

On the opposite side were still repulsive horses, shield walls, hoplites and crossbowmen.

Sharp arrows kept flying.

But it couldn't stop the shield cart in the slightest.

The combination of planks and cowhide was enough to withstand all arrows except the bed crossbow iron feather arrows, and although the archers of the Western army were good at archery, they could only tie the shield carts into hedgehogs, but they rarely injured the victorious soldiers behind.

Projectile arrows are fine.

But the heavy armor on these soldiers was enough to resist this lack of power of arrows, the shield cart blocked the most lethal, the armor blocked the stray arrows, and the attacking victorious army silently advanced in the rain of arrows, and the distance between the two sides continued to close slowly but firmly.

The victorious army did not even fight back.

There is a limit to the number of times an archer can draw their bow quickly.

There's no need to waste.

They are all waiting for the most critical moment.

Then a hundred steps.

Fifty steps.

……

In the end, the distance was frozen at ten paces.

The front of the shield cart in front of He Jin was almost full of arrows, and it was almost against the rejection horse on the opposite side......

"Shoot the arrows!"

He roared excitedly.

Immediately after that, he raised his arm and opened the crossbow, and suddenly straightened his waist, and at the same time behind the opposite shield wall, a panicked face appeared, he did not hesitate to aim at one of them, and then pulled the trigger, and the wooden feather arrow flew out with a whistling out. Ten steps away, the accuracy of the crossbow arrow is extremely high, the wooden feather arrow instantly hit the door of the person's face, the person fell without the slightest struggle, He Jin squatted down at the fastest speed, and quickly loaded his crossbow arrows in the shield car protection.

At the same time, all the shield carts that had reached the front line also stopped, and the crossbowmen, who had been protecting the shield carts, like their brigade commanders, kept poking their heads out from behind the shield wall and shooting sharp arrows at the enemy ten paces away from the opposite side with their bows or crossbows......
