Wu Qidao stared at an incense stick at the artillery position outside the east gate. The length and thickness of this incense stick looked almost the same as ordinary incense sticks, but the difference was that there were countless carvings on the incense stick.
There are corresponding numbers.
This is the most common way of timing for ancient people. Although there are also sun crowns and drip pots used in the army for timing, most of them are too bulky and inconvenient to carry. Therefore, in noisy environments such as forward positions, people mostly use this method.
A portable and easy-to-understand timekeeping method.
As the time scale gradually submerged in fiery red, and finally turned into a wisp of incense ash and fell on the copper plate, Wu Qidao shouted the order: "Fire the gun——!!"
Following his instructions, countless messengers and flag carriers quickly conveyed his instructions, and nearly a hundred artillery pieces "roared" almost at the same time! At the same time, the artillery positions at the North Gate and South Gate also sounded.
Roaring!!!
Two hundred and seventy artillery pieces fired their first round of shells into the city at the same time, exploding in the air and releasing a large amount of white smoke——!!
Yes, the first round of shelling was all lime bombs...
This was not because he was afraid that people in the city would run away or something, after all, the city had already been surrounded by an iron barrel! And the reason why Wu Qidao insisted on setting the ammunition for the first round of shelling to be lime at the council chaired by him
Bombing is due to two reasons.
The first is to use this method to force all the defenders on the city wall off the city wall and rush into the city!
Secondly, it can also be used to test ballistics and impact points. Although this kind of artillery shell is miraculous in its lethality against people, the damage to buildings is basically zero. Since all artillery shells are designed to have the same weight, they are used to
It is the best choice to test ballistics and preserve the integrity of the city wall to the greatest extent.
Wu Qidao picked up the telescope in his hand and looked at the city wall. Almost all the artillery shells successfully landed over the city. Only a few artillery shells hit the city wall, causing some pits and cracks of different sizes.
.
"Self-adjustment!! Second round! Fire--!!" Following Wu Qidao's command again, the second round of bombardment came again! And Wu Qidao always held up his binoculars and stared at the whole process.
After confirming that all the cannonballs had crossed the city wall and accurately landed in the city, he immediately issued the third order.
"Down the wedge!! Secure-!!!"
As this command was issued, the artillerymen of each artillery ran to the ammunition boxes behind them and found a hammer, a big iron nail! and four triangular wooden wedges from inside!
The soldiers first divided the four wooden wedges into two groups and blocked the two wheels of the artillery. Then one person held an iron nail and inserted the iron nail into the end steel ring specially used to drag the artillery.
Then another soldier hammered the nails into the soil one after another until the big iron caps on the nails stuck tightly on the tail ring of the artillery, making it almost impossible to fire it after it was activated
Remain motionless.
When each group of artillerymen completed their fixation, they raised their right hands one after another. It was not until all the artillerymen were ready that the orderlies reported their commands one after another.
"A group of five doors! Ready!"
"Second group of five doors! Ready!"
"Three groups of five doors! Ready!"
………………
……………………
It wasn't until the messenger closest to Wu Qidao shouted: "All artillery crews! Are ready!" Wu Qidao issued another order.
"Replace with ammunition!! One hundred rounds per group!! Shoot by yourself——!!"
As this order was issued, each group of five ammunition boxes filled with explosive shells were moved to their own artillery by the artillerymen. They skillfully changed the ammunition, loaded the gunpowder, pulled the ropes, and sealed the ears.
Staring at the flag bearer on the side!
As the flag was waved, ninety artillery pieces roared loudly at the same time!!!
The Varro soldiers who were struggling painfully on the city wall, climbed down the city wall with difficulty, and helped each other into the city were immediately frightened by the loud noises. Their necks shrank and they looked back with wide eyes! But they could not see anything.
, until a big hole was suddenly smashed into the house next to them, until a diamond-shaped iron pillar suddenly fell in front of them! Next... they didn't know anything...
Roaring sounds, explosions, soaring fire, diffuse smoke, and scattered dust! Countless human tragedies are written! And they are constantly being staged in this city!
Whether they are soldiers or civilians, there is no difference at this time. They are holding their heads, running away aimlessly, panic, flying rocks, explosions, and death! They are constantly tormenting every nerve of them, going crazy!!!
Really crazy!!!
This thought appeared in the minds of almost all the Varro people in the city: We are really crazy!!! to start a war with such an opponent!!! The general is crazy!!! The high-ranking officials are crazy!!! The Khan is also crazy!
!!!I actually think I can defeat such an enemy!!!Stay alive!Run!!I want to live!!!
Gradually, the people in Varo discovered a pure land!
West City!! The west side has the least shelling!!!
Driven by a strong desire to survive, countless people rushed to the West City Gate. However, after they escaped here, it was not enough to reassure them! They still wanted to escape! Escape with all their might! Escape far enough! Escape!
The horizon!! Escape from this hell on earth!!!
However, when they finally rushed to the west gate with great difficulty and narrow escape, they found that several Varo officers were organizing officers and soldiers to block their way. Several Varo people who were frightened crazy by the shells rushed to the west gate.
In front of the door, he was immediately hacked to death by the group of school officers and soldiers! The flying of flesh and blood and the screams of the deceased made the crowd gradually regain their composure... but it only lasted for a moment...
As dozens more artillery shells fell on the crowd, and countless corpses and flesh and blood flew everywhere, the people became angry! They hated the enemy troops outside the city! They hated these people's terrifying weapons! They were even more angry.
In front of these officers and soldiers who are unable to protect themselves, but still want to block their own way of survival!!
And those who had this idea... were not only the common people, but also countless Varro deserters who were frightened out of their courage! So, I don’t know who took the lead first, riots! Conflicts! It was inevitable!!
This group of school officials who tried their best to organize order and gather the remaining soldiers were finally completely overwhelmed by this group of people who were overwhelmed by anger and fear...
West City Gate...
was opened...
…………
……………………
At this time, the artillery of the Tongshun Army outside the city was still loading and activating again and again, mechanically completing the mission assigned to them by the colonel. They knew nothing about the situation in the city, but they knew what happened to this group of people.
It's not difficult to guess, but they didn't show any hesitation or sympathy...
Because to them, this group of people is not human!
Instead, they are a group of jackals, tigers and leopards who only know how to rob homes! They broke into their own homes and robbed their compatriots’ property!! Finally, they turned their hard-working compatriots who yearned for peace into slaves!!
But this group of Waluo people have transformed from a group of lazy, hungry, and half-clothed beggars to rich people! They live a high-class life with clothes on their hands and food on their hands!!
Why!??
Just rely on the machetes in your hands!!??
Now!! Let’s have a taste of the artillery in our hands!!
Before the avalanche!!
No snowflake is innocent!!!
Since you have enjoyed the wonderful life brought to you by this group of bandits!!!
Then you!! Naturally you will enjoy the same punishment as them!!!
Deserve it!!!
………………
……………………
Two whole hours...
The continuous bombardment gradually subsided, and there were almost no living people left in the city...
Wu Qidao slowly put down the telescope in his hand and smiled contemptuously, because what he just saw was not the city wall, nor the long-disappeared Varo soldiers, but the flags of the Xingtian camp in the air!
'The west gate has been opened! A large number of soldiers and people are fleeing to the west!'
"Infantry——! Put on the bayonet! Follow me to attack the city——!!" As the order was issued, Wu Qidao drew out the saber from his waist and took the lead and rushed towards the city wall! And many soldiers were immediately
Inspired by his incomparable courage, they all grasped the weapons and ladders in their hands and chased after him!
The same thing happened in turn at the South Gate and North Gate. In just a moment, all the city gates were opened by the first batch of soldiers who climbed up the city wall, and a large number of soldiers also poured out of the city gates.
However, this passion was in vain...
Because at this moment, Almaty has long been turned into an empty city full of ruins!
…………
……………………
My vision once again returned to the Gobi Desert...
After waiting for a long time at the cavalry camp Qianhu on the river bank, Tiegel saw the flag message from Xingtian above his head.
‘Five miles away from the southeast, a large number of Varro soldiers and Varro civilians appeared!’
Tigel put away the telescope and pulled out the scimitar from his waist with a grin.
His hatred for this group of bandits from Central Asia is no less than that of the people of Liang! Even worse!!
Because for him, this hatred not only comes from robbing and killing, but also from a personal pain that makes him extremely angry!! That is the subjugation of the country!!
And it was precisely because of this hatred of national subjugation that he finally had no choice but to turn to Beizhen. It was also because he gradually discovered that Beizhen and Varo were wearing the same pants! That made him feel discouraged and was eventually betrayed by Yan Bing.
Moved by his sincerity, he switched to Liang Guo.
Now... the coach actually gave him the opportunity to settle matters with his own hands... He was extremely happy and grateful at the moment. Not everyone could have the opportunity to taste this kind of revenge.
"According to the commander's order! Only one of the ten will be saved! Kill the young and strong men first! Women, young children, and the elderly second! All the soldiers obey the order and charge with me——!!! Kill——!!!" Then
With his last shout, Tiegel suddenly clamped his legs towards the horse's belly. This cavalry team of more than a thousand people was like a huge steel fork. Under his leadership, it galloped toward the remnants of the soldiers and refugees in the southeast.
go.
…………
……………………
five days later
The few remaining old men and women in the city staggered into Bishkek with some children...
Their eyes were extremely empty...
They looked as if they had just walked out of hell...
Soon, countless versions were compiled about the terrifying weapons of the Liang soldiers and their brutal killings, which spread throughout the city like a plague!
A large number of people in Bishkek began to flee the city with their families and families, and migrated towards the hinterland of Varo...
And as they dispersed, these stories quickly became a nightmare that was passed down orally throughout the Varro country, torturing every Varro people and high-ranking officials...
In fact, since then, the Varro Kingdom has seen a large-scale wave of emigration from various places. They traveled across mountains and rivers, dragging their families with them, to escape from this country that was destined to be destroyed by a powerful enemy country, and settled in other countries.
For the sake of refugees...
And when the scouts at Varro's front gathered what they heard about the tragic situation in Almaty and the dozens of miles of camps they saw around Lake Balkhash into a piece of information and sent it to Varro's court, this arrogant man
The "Khan of Heaven" and all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty also fell into complete panic...
The collapse of a person's psychological defense often only occurs in an instant...
Ten days later, countless soldiers who had just marched thousands of miles and poured into the Varo military camp on the border of Liang State received orders to retreat to the new capital...
The complaints and complaints in the army continued one after another, and they couldn't stop...
Morale was at an unprecedented low, and order was in chaos.
As all kinds of cutting-edge intelligence and all kinds of exaggerated legends continued to ferment in the army, some generals and soldiers who had been forced to surrender began to make moves...
This situation has far exceeded Emperor Xuan Si and Yan Bing's original predictions, but it is undoubtedly developing in a direction that is more beneficial to the Liang Kingdom...
…………
……………………
"When the wall fell, everyone pushed it! When the drum was broken, thousands of people beat it... I would like to congratulate your majesty! Varro, the defeat is certain!!" In Dihua City, He Yougui shouted this wise saying with a naive smile, and then bowed.
Six secret letters were handed to Emperor Xuansi.
"Is this...?" Emperor Xuan Si frowned and looked at He Yougui. He didn't know where the other party came from. He seemed to have a well-thought-out statement.
After He Yougui sent the secret letter, he stood up slowly and said with a bad smile: "Your Majesty, this is the surrender of several Mongolian generals in Varo. It not only contains the names of these school officers, but also includes
There are a lot of defense plans, as well as Varro’s military planes...!!”
