Chapter 1291: Blowing Up the City Gate
Arrows were constantly being shot down on the city walls, but the people below were also not afraid of death, and they knew very well that if the city gates could be set on fire inside and out, then there would be a great chance of killing them.
What's more, even ordinary soldiers know that they don't have much food left, although they have enlisted the support of the Tang army in the north, but if you don't have any results, the support of the Tang army will be cut off immediately, and you people will just wait to go hungry.
Now you are not ordinary, if the common people were in the past, being a deserter would at most be a little farther, but now you are all chaotic ministers and thieves, no matter where you run, as long as someone reports you, then the court of the country will hunt you down to the end.
So in this case, they have no other way to retreat, they can only follow General Mippen to kill, hoping to overthrow this court, then they will change from chaotic ministers and thieves to meritorious ministers.
Barrels of lamp oil were thrown up, and then the fire burned the gates from the outside.
Although the weather was humid during this time, and it often rained, because of the lamp oil, the fire was out of control and burned directly from the bottom to the top.
"Hurry up and find a way to put out the fire."
The defenders on the city wall are also in a hurry, if the city gate is opened, then these people are the first capital crime, plus the resistance just now is very fierce, once the general rushes in, none of them can escape, including the family, may be killed by the general.
Others don't know why General Mi Peng rebelled, after all, his family was secretly executed, but these generals on the city wall are very clear, General Mi Peng's entire family was executed by the imperial court, if this general is allowed to rush in, it is related to the imperial court, everyone has no good fruit to eat, he will definitely kill these people and pay tribute to his family.
Although the people inside poured basins of water and extinguished the fire on the inside of the gate, it was impossible for them to do so on the outside, unless they put out the fire and poured water down on the wall, they would not be able to pour it on the gate at all.
"The cavalry is ready, the gate will become extremely fragile in a while, you directly rely on the charge of the war horse, and knock the gate down for me."
General Mipo said very happily, how many catties and taels there are in this gate, he knows very well, who made it turn out to be the general in the city.
Now they only have less than 500 cavalry, which is all the horses they can collect, and a large number of cavalry have been destroyed on the battlefield, and it is even more difficult for a small country to find another cavalry than to climb to the sky.
After burning about half a bag of cigarettes, the cavalry here was also ready, the general gave an order, and five hundred cavalry rushed out directly, according to their imagination, when these people rushed to the gate, with the impact force of the war horse, they should be able to directly collapse the gate, after all, the inside and outside have been burning for a while, and the wood inside should be almost as dust.
Something happened that made them depressed, after a large number of war horses rushed over, they all crashed into the door, and the city gate still did not move, but dozens of cavalry were shot to death, and the soldiers on the city wall were not idle, seeing you people coming on horseback, if they didn't hurry up and shoot you, then their brains would be flooded.
"How is this possible, this door has been repaired for so many years, and it has already been bitten by insects, and after the fire on both sides, how can it not be broken?"
Not only did the general feel strange, but Wu Dengsheng next to him also wondered, could it be that this gate had been strengthened again? It's impossible, when they went out on the expedition, they walked through this gate, and when many people saw this gate, they thought that the imperial court should allocate funds to repair it, otherwise when others attacked, how many enemies could this gate withstand?
"Keep rushing me."
General Mippen can't manage so much, now he is standing on the edge of the cliff, he can't think of any other way besides this method, although this will make many soldiers lose their lives, but how can there be immortals in the war, as long as they win the final victory, who can remember to give such an order today?
Although the cavalry behind was unwilling, they saw that the archers had already aimed their arrows at them intentionally or unintentionally, so they could only turn over and get on their horses and continue to rely on the impact of their horses to attack the city gate.
About a few miles away from the general, Changsun Ze also took his own people to watch all this.
"Let our people be ready, we should help them, look at the way they are now, at the end of the crossbow, if we can't kill it tonight, it is estimated that by dawn tomorrow, this army will cease to exist."
After Changsun Ze's order was issued, his men immediately found two ballistas, in fact, they had already arrived around the capital, but the number was not large, only three or four hundred.
Li Xiang didn't trust General Mipon very much at the beginning, after all, they were all defeated generals, and the assembled army was not elite enough, so he might be able to find a way to attack the city, but if he really wanted to enter it, it would be useless to rely on them.
So Li Xiang ordered Changsun Ze to take an elite team, if these people are really likely to kill them, then find a way to help them, if they don't do things out of tune, Changsun Ze They will lurk themselves, there is no need to expose themselves, just wait here for the Tang army to come over.
Now Changsun Ze can see very clearly, the people under the general are also combative, from the time they climbed to the city wall to kill now, if they didn't have the ability, I'm afraid they would have been wiped out a long time ago, now as long as the city gate is opened for them, at least the entire royal city will be in chaos, as for the future things, it's useless to think so much, let's do the things in front of me first.
"Get out of the way...... Get out of the way. ”
Changsun Ze rode his famous Turkic horse and waved the Tang Army flag in his hand.
"Get out of the way."
There is no need to explain at this time, although I don't know where this Tang army came from, but this general knows it, and he must be a famous Tang general standing next to Li Xiang that day.
When he saw the two ballistas in the back, General Mippen finally understood what he was doing, which was to help us blow open the city gates......
