Chapter 455: Broken City
Han Du tied his horse's head and looked at the closed city gate in the distance through the rolling yellow dust. He could vaguely see the hurried figures of some soldiers on the city's head. He was obviously shocked by himself and others.
On the mottled city walls, there are still traces of the Wei Gan war a few years ago. Only a small piece of moat filled by the civilians of the Northern Barbarians was dug up here.
Even if there is no obstacle from the moat, it is not easy to climb the tall city wall.
At this time, the war between the other three city gates is in full swing, and the outcome will be no longer a winner.
This kind of situation made Han a little confused. He didn't know why his adoptive father brought them here. Even if he wanted to block people, it was a little earlier. And he just appeared blatantly, and he didn't dare to leave the city even if he saw it.
He thought for a while and couldn't help asking, "General, what are we doing in North Gate?"
Han Wu smiled meaningfully, "You have always been smart. What do you think I am bringing troops here?"
Han Du raised his sword eyebrows and quipped, "Isn't it here to attack the city?"
“Huh?”
Han Wu was slightly surprised, "You guy really guessed it right."
"No."
Han Du widened his eyes, "Enjoyed Father, we are only 5,000 people, and we are all cavalry and have no siege equipment. How can we attack the city?"
Five thousand cavalry go to attack the city? Unless someone opens the city gate inside.
Huh? No!
He suddenly remembered the situation of the capture of the county town not long ago. Could it be that there were internal supporters in the city this time?
Thinking of this, Han was suddenly a little excited and looked at Han Wu with burning eyes. If this is the case, Taiyuan City would have been taken down by their thunder cavalry camp, and it would be a great achievement.
Han Wu's eyes flashed, and his rich life experience made him quickly see Duan'er from his adopted son's expression. He immediately shook his head, "Taiyuan City is not as good as other county towns. Even if he has an inner support, do you think Ling Yue will be unprepared? Even if this person does not understand military affairs, the city guards will not be unprepared for this."
"Then how do we break the city?"
Since the inner responsibilities cannot help, Han Du couldn't understand how to attack with these five thousand cavalrymen?
"Don't worry, the Lord has already given me the treasure that broke the city."
Han Wu said and pointed to the left, "Look, the thing is coming!"
Not far away, a team of people dressed in factory guards were escorting something towards this side.
"Thank you for your hard work in Xu Baihu."
Han Wu came up with him and said politely to the person in charge.
Although his grade is higher than that of the hundred households with the surname Xu, it is best not to offend people like the factory guards if they can get along well. After all, no one has any secrets.
"General Han is so serious, he is always doing things for the Lord. There is no hard work or not. If you wait for a moment, I will help you open the city gate!"
Xu Baihu said as he waved his hand to the back, "Get quicker and more brisk."
"Xilulu~"
Ten horses pulling five sluggish horses covering objects with black cloth suddenly accelerated forward, and the wheels under the black cloth left deep marks on the ground.
The mara pulled the things and kept moving forward in the direction of the city gate. Then she stopped when she was hundreds of meters away from the city gate. Because the crossbows on the top of the city were demolished to other places, it helped Han Wu and the others a lot of help. Otherwise, it would be impossible to get so close.
"Huh~"
The black cloth was pulled apart, revealing the five red cannons below.
"What's this?"
Han was a little curious. Although there were thick metal pipes, they were too short and were better than rushing to a car when they were used to hit the city gate.
"This is a magic weapon!"
Han Wu's eyes showed a fanatical expression. He recognized Han Du's adopted son half a year ago, so he didn't know about the red cannon.
After all, the existence of the red cannon has always been a secret, and not many people know it.
"Start loading!"
After the cannon was set up, Xu Baihu began to order.
At the same time, Han Wu also asked his cavalry to form a charge formation and reminded the people below to control the war horses.
"Start the test!"
With a command, the lead on the barrel was ignited, and then "Boom! Boom..."
Five thunder-like explosions suddenly resounded through the sky, both above and outside the city, causing a considerable commotion. The originally orderly military formation was frightened by the war horses and some chaos appeared, but it was quickly comforted.
Near the city gate, the suspension bridge that was originally hung up was directly blasted out of a large hole, and the city walls around the city gate were also smashed into four pits by shells. Although the city gate did not hit the city gate, the accuracy head did not deviate too much, and this first round was a test shot.
"So awesome!"
Seeing the big hole that exploded in the suspension bridge in front of him, Han Du's nerves tense. The suspension bridge, which was four fingers thick, seemed to be like paper.
In fact, not only the people outside the city, but also the people on the city were shocked at this moment, and then they were afraid.
"quick!"
A team in charge of this place grabbed the clothes on the chest of a soldier beside him and roared, "Go and notify the general, the north gate is in a hurry!"
At this time, the roar outside the city sounded again. This was the second round of test shots, and the effect was much stronger than the first time. The suspension bridge that originally smashed a big hole exploded in half. Another shell hit the city gate behind and smashed a big hole.
Seeing this scene, the morale of the cavalry outside the city was high and cheered, while the defenders in the city were looking like earth. The team was also hurriedly dispatching almost all the people to go downstairs to block the door.
However, this is useless. With the third red-clothed cannon firing, three shells hit the city gate directly. While breaking through the city gate, they also bombarded the soldiers behind the city gate who were trying to block the door and flew everywhere.
The fourth bombardment came immediately, and the originally broken city gate was smashed open by shells, and the corridor was full of broken limbs and broken arms.
"rush!"
Han Wu pulled out his long sword, waved it in front of him, and initiated a charge order.
As the messenger waved the flag, the relatively neat cavalry formation began to move, accelerate, and finally charge.
Han Du was rushing in front. His face was flushed, his eyes exuded a strong and crazy fighting spirit. He stared at the hole in the city gate, and kept driving the war horse under his crotch to run wildly.
A distance of hundreds of meters was rushing to the blink of an eye. Han Du led the cavalry behind him to swing his sharp long sword through the cave full of broken limbs and broken arms, and then rushed into the main street behind him without any obstacles in the process.
In fact, when the team and most of the soldiers were smashed into pieces by shells that broke the city gate in the cave, the surviving soldiers dispersed, so now the entire North Gate is in a defensive state.
