Just as the thought flashed across his mind, there was another huge "bang", the ground shook, and the palace shook twice. Liu Yuan felt bad, so he quickly stood up with the hand of the chamberlain, and stumbled out.
The Royal Palace of Pingyang City is at a slightly higher place. Standing at the entrance of the palace, you can look at the city gate in the distance. At this time, there is a fire in the direction of the city gate.
Before he could speak, there was another huge sound, and at the same time a huge smoke and fire light rose up. Liu Yuan trembled his lips and asked: "Then, what is that?"
At this time, Chen Wu, Xie Shi, Ji Yuan Mingxu and others also stared with wide eyes at the huge iron balls that exploded up and down the Pingyang City Gate. Their hearts trembled with every sound.
They are like this, let alone the three armed forces.
The officers and soldiers of the three armies were all excited and dumbfounded. They looked at Fu Tinghan with admiration and fear.
Only the naive Zhao Erlang was wandering around Fu Tinghan with an excited face, followed him to the back of another trebuchet, watched him teach the soldiers to calibrate the trebuchet, and then stepped aside.
Seeing the torch in the soldier's hand, Zhao Erlang was eager to try, "Brother-in-law, let me light this one."
Fu Tinghan thought for a while and nodded, "Then you order."
Qiu Wu asked craftsmen to make the iron can specifically for transporting gunpowder, and there was a layer of wooden barrels on the outside of the iron can.
In the past two days, Fu Tinghan opened the tin can, modified the gunpowder inside, and reconnected the live wire. In order to prevent the lead from contacting the gunpowder prematurely and to ensure that the lead would extinguish during the throwing process, he added a
Circle bamboo tube.
Yesterday, they also tried the time required to throw the same mass to calculate the required fuse to ensure that the gunpowder exploded within three seconds after it hit the ground.
Zhao Erlang was not as nervous as the soldiers on the side at all. He took the torch and immediately stretched out the torch to light the fuse after Fu Tinghan ordered the ignition.
The lead wire buzzed, and the soldiers on the side immediately cut the rope, the trebuchet suddenly tilted up, and the iron ball flew towards Pingyang City with a whooshing sound. This time the iron ball was more accurate and hit the top of the city gate with a bang.
Up, it fell along the top of the door and smashed open before it hit the ground.
After the smoke and dust passed, a large hole was blown open at the city gate, and the Huns ambushing inside were wailing.
Chen Wu and others' hearts trembled, and they turned to look at Fu Tinghan, only to see him with his eyebrows lowered, correcting the corner of another trebuchet.
Sensing their gaze, he turned around to look. Fu Shangshu, whom they thought was gentle and kind, nodded to them and said, "There is one last one. I will try my best to blow open the city gate for you."
Chen Wu and others tried their best to smile and nodded tremblingly.
Fu Tinghan did what he said, and this time he still hit the city gate accurately. After a loud bang, most of the city gate of Pingyang City was blown open, and everyone on the top and bottom of the city tower was horrified.
Zhao Hanzhang pointed his spear and said loudly: "Soldiers, God bless our Jin Dynasty. Please follow me to bring order to the chaos. Come on -"
The soldiers came to their senses instantly and shouted, "Come on -"
Zhao Hanzhang took the lead and killed him, and all the soldiers immediately followed. Fu Tinghan stood there, watching thousands of soldiers running past him and fighting straight out. He turned his head and said to the soldier controlling the trebuchet: "Get on the stone.
Adjust height, target tower."
"yes!"
The soldiers immediately carried stones, tied ropes, and threw stones...
When Zhao Hanzhang took the lead and charged into the city, Fu Tinghan and others stopped to avoid accidentally injuring their own people by falling rocks.
There is a rear army behind Fu Tinghan, which is for support. They are motionless.
Ji Yuan and Ming Yu, as counselors, did not move. They stood there, listening to the thundering shouts of killing coming from Pingyang City. After a while, someone attacked the tower, and they moved a little stiffly. He quickly took out his clairvoyance to look at his body.
They saw Zhao Erlang flying one man away with his gun and holding a knife in the other hand. He cut off the flag on the tower with one knife. His soldiers came over with a flag and immediately unfolded it and planted it.
The flag with the word "Zhao" spread out in the wind, catching wind on the city gate.
Ji Yuan was very excited when he saw it, and happily said to Fu Tinghan: "Da Langjun, we have captured the Pingyang City Tower."
Ming Yu couldn't help but look at him, but he immediately caught up with him, "Fu Shangshu should take the lead in this battle."
Ji Yuan is indeed an extraordinary person. He used to be called Mr. Fu and Mr. Fu, but now he is called Shang Dalangjun?
Fu Tinghan couldn't help but smile when he saw that Zhao's army successfully entered Pingyang City with very little loss. Using gunpowder had its disadvantages and advantages, and now it seemed that it might not kill many people.
He exhaled, nodded in advance with Ji Yuanming, and said: "Please also ask two soldiers to go to the North City Gate and East City Gate to defend and capture people to prevent the Liu royal family from escaping."
Ji Yuan and Ming Yu became serious and responded quickly.
Ji Yuan said: "Don't be strict, relax a little. Except for the royal family, everyone else can escape."
Fu Tinghan nodded and affirmed: "Don't chase poor bandits."
Ji Yuan smiled and agreed. Seeing that Ming Yu kept looking at him, he reached out and pulled him away, taking away a large army each.
However, before leaving, Ji Yuan specially called Shi Hongtu and Lu Daxuan over and warned him: "Protect Mr. Dalang."
The two guards nodded seriously, extremely solemnly.
Ming Yu was dragged a long way by him before he took his hand out and said quietly: "Mr. Ji can make the most of the situation."
"I have always respected Mr. Fu," Ji Yuan said solemnly, "He is the master of Asia."
"Really?" Ming Yu said, "I always thought Mr. Ji regarded the second general as his master."
Ji Yuan ignored his words, looked around and asked: "Are you going to the North City Gate or the East City Gate?"
Ming Yu said: "East."
Ji Yuan curled his lips, but he was not polite. His place was far away from the North City Gate, and there was still a part in the middle controlled by the Huns. The Zhao army was not able to wipe out all the Huns outside Pingyang City.
But Ji Yuan went anyway.
Zhao Hanzhang also wanted to exchange people from the Xiongnu royal family for Zhao Zhongyu, but he couldn't let them run away.
Many soldiers knew that Zhao Hanzhang intended to exchange people from the Xiongnu royal family for hostages, so as soon as they rushed into the city, they fought desperately towards the palace in Pingyang City.
The Xiongnu army in Pingyang City was frightened by their momentum. In addition, they were suffocated by the weight of several packets of explosives. Now they were at a disadvantage against the brave beggar army and Zhao's army.
In particular, the beggar army was good at fighting in the city. Chen Wu took the lead and led his beggar army out of the street in a quarter of an hour and ran directly to the palace.
Zhao Erlang was still planting a flag on the city tower. Xie Shi came in and saw it. He hated iron and said to him: "Erlang, why don't you take people to the palace quickly? All the governors are gone!"
Zhao Hanzhang preferred to clear out the enemies before continuing, so she was one step behind Chen Wu. By the time she arrived at the palace, Chen Wu was already fighting with the imperial guards in the palace. The Xiongnu officials, palace maids, chamberlains, etc. took advantage of the chaos and ran out, and the scene was full of chaos. confusion.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Hanzhang stopped Zhao Erlang and asked him to attack from the left wing, while she responded from the right wing, "Everyone, regardless of superiority or inferiority, surrenders without killing!"
