Chapter 899: City destroyed

 It’s early in the morning.

When Li Chengqian climbed up to the city gate tower and looked at the rebel camp as usual, the rebels had already begun to gather.

But today's rebels seem a little different from usual.

Luo Ding'an frowned and said, "Your Highness, these traitors seem to be a little different today!",

Li Chengqian nodded, he felt the same way.

For some reason, he felt a little panicked in his heart.

An hour later, the rebels were ready.

At this moment, the rebels gave the impression that they were murderous, like an ancient ferocious beast.

If the attack is unfavorable, kill.

Retreat without authorization and kill.

Be the first to enter the city and be rewarded.

Kill the enemy general and reward him.

This is the rule set by Wen Tong for everyone.

And with his combination of kindness and power, the morale of the rebels was finally inspired.

And Wen Tong is particularly confident today.

Because he has a secret weapon.

He believed that this secret weapon would definitely help them break the city.

At this time, Wen Tong waved his hand and said: "Push our big guy out."

Following his order, carriages drove out of the military camp.

A large number of soldiers rushed forward and got busy.

Seeing this scene, Li Chengqian on the city wall only felt the ominous premonition in his heart.

And just when the soldiers were moving the things on the carriage to the ground and setting them up, Li Chengqian's eyes widened.

"General Zhenguan's cannon?"

"How come this thing is in their hands?"

Luo Ding'an was also full of surprise.

The weapons produced by General Zhenguan's artillery and the imperial court's ordnance were uniformly distributed to the various armies by the imperial court after they were produced.

Private counterfeiting is not allowed among the people. Once someone dares to counterfeit, the Nine Clans will be implicated.

But now, the rebels actually have the Zhenguan General Cannon.

And there are more than thirty doors in a row.

This scene really reminds Li Chengqian
Everyone who had seen General Zhenguan's cannon was dumbfounded.

Li Chengqian had thought of everything, but he never expected that the rebels could actually get this thing.

At this time, the rebels had also begun to prepare for the siege.

Zhenguan General's cannons were all loaded, and the gunners squatted in front of the cannons. They only waited for an order from behind to launch a fierce attack on Runzhou City.

At this time, Li Chengqian couldn't sit still anymore.

He invented the Zhenguan General Cannon, so he naturally knew its power.

So at the moment, he ignored others and shouted: "Leave two brothers to be responsible for seeing the enemy's situation, and the rest will immediately withdraw the city wall."

After hearing his order, everyone hurried down to deliver the order.

Although the soldiers guarding the city didn't know what was going on, they all took down the city wall along with everyone else.

But at this time, the rebels had already launched an attack.

After a loud bang, a cannonball landed on the top of Runzhou City.

There is no need to elaborate on the power of General Zhenguan's cannon. Stone chips flew and the earth trembled.

The few defenders who had no time to evade were shattered by the remnants of the shell explosion, and a gap was blown out of the city wall.

And this isn't the end yet.

The rebels are obviously determined to use Zhenguan General's artillery to end the battle today.

More than thirty cannons were fired at once.

Although this scene was not as big as the commotion Li Chengqian made when he was in the Western Regions, it was no less impressive.

Li Chengqian also never expected it.

The thing that I built in order to protect my family and the country actually fell on my head today.

When had Zhu Gu and the Runzhou soldiers under his tent seen such a scene?

At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded and confused, not knowing what to do.

Zhu

Gu looked at Li Chengqian and asked with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

What can be done?

Cold salad...

Li Chengqian once said.

In the age of firearms, cities were useless.

Even to some extent, cities will become key targets for firearms.

Just when Li Chengqian was about to say something, he heard a roar.

The city gate tower was hit by two cannonballs and was on the verge of collapse. At this moment, it collapsed suddenly.

Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said, "Wait, wait until they run out of shells..."

He didn't believe that these people could not only get the Zhenguan Cannon, but also get so many shells.

And the reality was exactly what he thought.

The rebels had artillery, but they only had a few hundred shells.

But these few hundred are enough to collapse the walls of Runzhou City.

Sure enough, under the continuous attacks of the rebel artillery, a piece of Runzhou City's not-so-thick wall suddenly collapsed.

Seeing this scene, Wen Tong, who was watching the battle from behind, couldn't help shouting excitedly.

"Brothers, the opportunity to make meritorious deeds is right in front of you."

"Power, money, and women are right in front of you. Let me kill you!"

Immediately afterwards, the artillery fire suddenly stopped.

A large number of rebel soldiers rushed towards the gap.

Because there was no city defense and Li Chengqian had withdrawn the defenders on the city, these rebels did not encounter any resistance at all.

Almost instantly, they jumped in through the gap in the city wall.

Seeing this scene, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel nervous, and immediately ordered: "Brothers, follow me to kill, and we must push out the rebels!"

Li Chengqian also did his duty and rushed into the battlefield with his gun.

And when they saw Li Chengqian rushing forward, how could the soldiers behind him watch?

A group of people followed Li Chengqian and rushed forward, especially Ganzi.
Those in the camp.

They were well-trained and extremely capable in combat. They followed Li Chengqian and brandished their knives, causing a bloody storm among the enemy crowd.

To a certain extent, these soldiers of Qianzi Camp are killing machines trained by Li Chengqian.

Especially in such chaotic battles, when faced with soldiers like the rebels who have not undergone systematic training, it is like tigers entering the flock of sheep and slaughtering them at will.

For a moment, the rebels' offensive was actually blocked.

Li Chengqian held a spear and fought in the formation. Under the cold light, the rebels fell one by one.

When the Runzhou soldiers and Changzhou soldiers behind him saw how brave Li Chengqian was, their morale was greatly boosted.

In the end, the rebels who rushed into the city were actually beaten out.

Seeing this, Wen Tong was extremely annoyed and slammed his riding whip.

He really didn't expect that the other side would still be able to resist him when half of the city wall collapsed.

Wen Tong looked back at Mr. Lu beside him.

Mr. Lu narrowed his eyes and said bluntly: "If we can't take Runzhou today, you can die with your men."

Hearing this, Wen Tong's heart sank.

He glanced at the people around him, then gritted his teeth and said: "The whole army, together, kill me!"

This time, he simply led his men into the battlefield himself.

No matter how powerful the Qianzi Battalion is, it cannot compete with so many enemy troops.

As time went by, the casualties of Qianzi Camp continued to increase.

In the end, Qianziying couldn't stand it any longer.

In the evening, the rebels finally broke through the obstruction of Qianzi Camp and rushed into the city.

Looking at the rebels swarming in, Luo Ding'an wiped the blood from his face and said urgently: "Your Highness, withdraw, otherwise it will be too late..."

What else could Li Chengqian say?

In the end, he also mounted his horse and headed north while risking his life in the battle at Qianzi Camp.

Runzhou City was finally breached...
