Tang Ding saw the defenders working so hard and sneered: "I don't know whether to live or die. Come, gather your artillery and blast in that direction."
At a word of command, the cannon fuses were ignited with a hiss and sparks.
"Boom~Boom~Boom~"
For a time, the bricks on the city wall were shattered, and the defenders suffered heavy casualties.
Cao Minxiu's hair was messy, and there was still a little blood on his hair and face. Although he was not injured just now, the Ming army's cannon really shocked him. His face was ashen as he looked at the Ming army outside the city, his fingers holding the handle of the knife.
The joints are white, which shows that he is holding it very hard.
He has been fighting all his life, and he can be considered a person who has fought hard from the battlefield, but he has never encountered such a frustrating battle in his life.
Obviously he should be at an advantage as he defends the city, but now he is being suppressed by the Ming army. He has no power to fight back and is out of reach!
Cao Minxiu took a deep breath and immediately asked people to disperse. He was prepared to stop filling the river if he could. But if he couldn't stop him, he didn't care. He was prepared to wait until the Ming army attacked the city and then fight with the Ming army. ??
When attacking a city, the Ming army couldn't use artillery to blast their own people together, right?
Under the weak resistance of the defenders, the moat was quickly filled in.
The battlefield suddenly calmed down at this time.
Cao Minxiu was on alert, preparing to give the Ming army a hard blow when they attacked the city.
Handu also asked people to retreat temporarily and prepared a special siege vehicle. The roof and sides of the vehicle were covered with thick wooden boards. There were no huge logs for ramming the city gate inside, but they were piled full of wood.
gunpowder.
After repairing for a while, the Ming army began to attack again.
Different from the previous scenes of countless people carrying ladders and rushing up to attack the city, this time in addition to the cannons that were constantly bombarding and suppressing the Korean soldiers at the top of the city, there was only one siege vehicle slowly heading towards the city gate.
When Cao Minxiu saw such an unusual scene, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He naturally recognized the siege vehicles, but there were too few attempts to break open the city gates with the siege vehicles alone. Most of them occupied the city walls and then came down to open the city gates.
Open inside.
However, although Cao Minxiu could not understand the Ming army's tactics, he did not intend to let the Ming army easily reach the city gate. He immediately gave the order and fired unmanned arrows at the siege vehicles.
The thick wooden boards of the siege vehicle instantly became like hedgehogs, covered with arrows.
Naturally, Handu would not let the defenders attack the siege vehicles. All the artillery fired at the city wall, suppressing the archers with all his strength, and doing everything he could to give the siege vehicles a chance.
Step by step, the siege vehicle arrived at the bottom of the city wall under the rain of arrows. In an instant, countless stones fell, and the wooden planks on the top made a clanging sound. Fortunately, the wooden planks were thick enough, although there were some damaged areas.
But it didn't completely collapse.
When the siege vehicle entered the city gate, more than twenty naval officers quickly pressed the siege vehicle against the city gate. Each of them took a pair of shields and rushed to the city gate. They hid under the base of the city wall and protected themselves with their shields.
The last person took out a fire stick, blew out the flames in one breath, and without delay lit the fuse, he quickly ran to the wall and hid.
The siege vehicle entered the city gate, but there was no sound of impact. The Korean defenders behind the city gate and Cao Minxiu on the city wall were puzzled as to what the Ming army was up to.
Suddenly, Cao Minxiu felt everything was quiet, and a strong sense of danger came from under his feet. He had been through life and death in his life, but he had never felt anything like this.
A strong sense of crisis.
Before he could speak, a huge fire burst out from the city gate hole, accompanied by a huge cloud of smoke.
But Cao Minxiu heard nothing. The moment the sound reached his ears, he became deaf, and everything around him instantly turned into a silent world. He felt that his fragile internal organs were subjected to countless huge blows in an instant.
He didn't even feel the pain from the hammer's blow, and the bright red blood mixed with the broken internal organs fell down like a waterfall from his mouth.
He only glanced at the Ming army camp before his vision went dark and he no longer felt anything.
Han Du saw smoke and dust bursting out from the city gate. The entire city gate was emptied out and the city gate had long since disappeared without a trace.
"The city is broken, and the whole army attacks the city."
Following Han Du's loud roar, naval officers on both sides immediately swarmed in.
Tang Ding led a team of naval forces to charge at the front. Although he thought it was a good idea to use gunpowder to break the city when Han Du mentioned it last time, he had never seen it with his own eyes.
When I saw it today, even he was shocked.
It was too easy, too easy. He could see clearly just now that at the moment when a large amount of gunpowder exploded, the entire city gate building seemed to be lifted up by a huge hand, rubbed it a few times, and then put it down again.
Needless to say, it was as if it were made of paper, and it instantly fell apart and exploded into debris all over the sky.
As soon as the city gate was broken, the morale of the Korean defenders suddenly dropped to the freezing point, and they could no longer resist. Now they could not care about the Ming army. They were thinking about how to escape before the Ming army entered the city.
However, the Ming army broke through the city so fast that many people did not react.
Xin Yu originally thought that Kaijing could be defended, and even if it could not be defended, it would at least be after all the troops and supplies were exhausted. Therefore, he continued to carry out his indispensable daily entertainment in the palace unhurriedly.
programme.
But a loud noise instantly spread throughout the city, and even Xin Yu, who was hiding deep in the palace, was shaken and shook the wine glass in his hand, and the wine spilled all over his python robe.
"What's going on?" Xin You stood up in a panic. The sound of cannons that started roaring didn't even move his face, but the loud noise gave people a bad premonition.
"Your Majesty, there seems to be a loud noise coming from outside the city. I don't know what it is yet." The eunuch quickly stepped forward and replied.
Xin Yu looked panicked and quickly ordered: "Send someone immediately to find out more. I am waiting here."
"yes."
After waiting like this, Xin You no longer waited for the eunuch to come back, but instead waited for the Ming army.
Tang Ding led a group of troops straight into the palace. The Korean soldiers along the way could not even stop him for a moment. They were massacred one-sidedly under the intensive firepower of the Ming army.
When Tang Ding arrived at the entrance of the palace, he was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he first had people surround the palace.
After the navy had firmly controlled Kaijing City, they and Han Du arrived at the gate of the palace.
Han Du smiled and glanced at the palace door for a few times, then raised his head and motioned for someone to come forward and call the door.
"The people inside listen and open the door wisely. If they wait for us to attack, they will be killed without mercy." After saying that, he proudly moved towards the palace door and made several gestures with his revolver.
Before he could be happy, Han Du slapped him on the back of the head. "What did you say? What does it mean to kill without mercy? This is the palace, and inside is the King of Korea who was canonized by the emperor. How can you be so presumptuous?" Tang Ding
Seeing the defenders working so hard, he sneered: "I don't know whether to live or die. Come, gather your artillery and blast in that direction."
At a word of command, the cannon fuses were ignited with a hiss and sparks.
