Occasionally, this expert, who was extremely good at sneaking behind enemy lines, sneaking into the city and setting fire to it, caused chaos everywhere. He had taken the opportunity to open the city gate, and the rebel brothers who were cooperating with Zhijiao to attack the city were able to rush into the city, take down the Zhangye city, and destroy it.
Recovering all the counties, towns and villages under Laizhou in one fell swoop was a sure thing; and Dengzhou was well acquainted with the city's waters, and Sun Li, the former Dengzhou soldier and horse commander who deployed various gate defenses, planned to attack the city, and Ruan Xiaowu and others
A master of water warfare led Yongjian, his water squadron, to attack Penglai from both land and water, and was confident of regaining the entire territory of Dengzhou.
However, on Jingdong East Road, which has jurisdiction over one prefecture, fifteen prefectures, the fourth army, two countries, and eighty-one counties, and the seat of the prefecture's seat in Yidu City, Qingzhou, the puppet Qi army and horses, which had long planned to resist, kept the city gates tightly closed all day long.
We must rely on dangers to resist the sudden invading rebel armies.
Even if Wanyan Wushu, the fourth prince of the Jin army, was killed by Xiao Tang, the main force of the Jin army that invaded the Song Dynasty was completely wiped out. The Puppet Qi forces, which had completely lost their reliance, were already in a passive situation of being beaten...
However, the Jin Kingdom still had its backing, and it was supposed to have reached a strike agreement with the Song Dynasty. However, Xiao Tang not only ignored the Song Dynasty's decree to suspend troops, but also ordered his troops to attack the army controlled by Liu Yu in the north of Jingdong Road.
The prefecture launched an all-out fierce attack. The traitor Xiao Tang, who had betrayed the Song Dynasty in the first place, was awarded the title of Grand Marshal of the World Soldiers and Horses because of defeating Wanyan Orulu and the army that held the Zhao royal family hostage in the Song Dynasty and returning the two emperors.
The army has been cooperating to fight against the Jin Dynasty for a long time, but now it is openly defying the imperial court's decree to cease the war. How can the Song Dynasty be willing to let that guy resist the decree and be so domineering?
Therefore, the puppet Qi generals in the city still plan to resist by chance until the situation changes again. The soldiers and horses of the various tribes under your Xiaotang command can be said to be invincible in these days, but the state government on Jingdong East Road is located.
The capital city of Qingzhou is high and deep. I have long been wary of your group taking advantage of the situation to attack. If you want to take it by force, you will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. But does Xiao Tang really want to take the city here quickly regardless of the cost?
However, when the soldiers and horses stationed in Erlongshan Dazhai in Qingzhou switched from strategic defensive to strategic offensive, they joined forces with several powerful rebel armies heading north, and then moved with great momentum to the front of Qingzhou Zhizhi Yidu City, the troops stationed in the city
The Puppet Qi generals could not help but be dumbfounded when they saw with their own eyes the dense formation of rebel troops outside.
However, in front and in the middle of the huge military formation formed by the siege rebels, who had gathered like ants, stood nearly fifty artillery pieces of various sizes, which seemed to be taller than ordinary catapults. Standing in the middle, especially those inserted in the
The appearance of the dozens of catapults in the front line of the rebel troops was obviously different from the artillery equipment prepared by the Song army.
Just when many puppet Qi soldiers in the city felt a strong uneasiness welling up in their hearts, in the front line of the rebel army, the front edge of the Fan Yang feltlier worn by a leader was lifted up, and Hongtian Lei Lingzhen squinted his eyes and looked at it.
Looking at the high and deep city walls in front of him, and then turning to look at the tall and giant artillery equipment all around, he couldn't help but have a look on his face that after years of dedicated research, he could finally see his results being used.
Rejoicing and joyful.
When he first met Xiao Tang, Ling Zhen received an enlightenment and was greatly inspired to develop artillery equipment. When he was framed and dismissed from his official position by Gao Qiu, the then Lieutenant of Sanya, for being close to Xiao Tang, Ling Zhen
The production technology of new artillery tools is basically well understood. After many years, new artillery tools with more advanced structures and greater power will also be put into use for the first time when Xiao Tang wants to quickly sweep and capture various military states.
During the siege...
And Xiao Tang also probably knew: This is almost equivalent to the powerful stone-throwing artillery that originally appeared when the Yuan Dynasty invaded the Southern Song Dynasty. It did not span a long time track, but came out ahead of schedule when the two Song Dynasties overlapped in official history.
It was nearly four hundred meters away from the city, and beyond the range of the bows and crossbows used to defend the city. After Ling Zhen estimated it with his naked eyes and made a rough judgment, he shouted loudly: "Teach the gunners of all the teams.
Listen to my command to calibrate your position, avoid the streets and streets in the city, and focus on the city walls and towers to throw huge rocks and thunderous weapons!"...
Viewed from a distance, one could probably see the healthy figures of the soldiers around the artillery and equipment in the siege rebel formation, scurrying about like ants, and faintly heard a few muffled sounds of the defenders on the city towers and walls.
I also saw a dozen black dots popping up quickly, and then they suddenly enlarged as they fell straight across the sky, and smashed down towards the city wall!
"Sling cannon? It really is a sling cannon! How can a straight mother-in-law be able to shoot it so far!? Find a place to hide!"
There were military generals shouting in panic on the city wall. However, at this time, many soldiers who were climbing on the wall were already shocked and frightened. They immediately fell into a state of collapse, until the huge boulders pressed down like hills and smashed on the city wall.
At the top of the city, continuous loud noises shook the heaven and earth, and the three souls and seven souls of the soldiers and horses guarding the city were immediately shaken away!
The originally solid walls of Yidu City trembled violently, shook, and even collapsed immediately. The originally flat and steep walls were instantly devastated, and even large pieces of gravel and cracked earth were constantly bombarded by the billowing smoke and dust raised by the flying instruments.
It collapsed, and many soldiers were wrapped in dust and let out heart-piercing screams as they fell straight down!
Miserable howls and cries continued to resound on the city wall. Among the city defenders who immediately collapsed, some were crushed into powder by the huge boulders that fell from the sky. Others were caught off guard and fell headlong from the top of the city. As a result,
Huge black shadows wrapped around the terrifying sound of breaking wind continued to hit the city, splashing debris and choking dust and smoke all over the sky. The frightened soldiers who were sitting on the incomplete city wall looked at their colleagues around them in horror.
Being smashed into balls of flesh and blood...
What's even more terrible is that the soldiers who were all disgraced and covered in blood but were lucky enough to survive were either sitting paralyzed or sighing on the crumbling city wall.
The sound of burning rang out all around me, and I also smelled the pungent smell of gunpowder...
"Boom!!!", "Boom!!!", "Boom!!!" loud noises rang out, and many soldiers defending the city were immediately blown into burning pieces of meat. Along with the strong air waves,
Countless figures were thrown into the air... Even for the remaining generals who were far away from the center of the explosion, at this time, the loud noise was about to shatter people's eardrums. This sentence is not an exaggerated metaphor, but
Depiction based on facts...
After a series of explosions that sounded like the earth was shattering, a large area collapsed and a loud noise suddenly sounded. The city wall could not withstand such a compact and violent destruction. In an instant, large areas of the city wall collapsed, which were originally crowded in a small space.
The soldiers inside fell straight down together with the smoke and rubble. Most of them had their bones broken and died immediately. There were also a few who were buried alive by the falling broken earth and broken bricks!
In front of the rebel army formation that was already ready to go, Mr. Jin Jian Li Zhu saw the tragic and terrifying scene in front of him. There was already a cold smile on the corner of his mouth. When his nephew Li Yan came forward to report something,
Afterwards, Li Zhu also decisively drew out the sword he was carrying on his back, slashed his right arm forward, and then shouted loudly: "Attack the city!"...
At the same time, the siege war started at Beihai, the seat of Weizhou, located on the east side of Qingzhou. However, compared to Ling Zhen's immediate and shocking attack with new artillery, the rebel armies also gathered outside the city.
Zuo looked at each other in shock, and many people also had expressions of surprise on their faces.
Because as soon as the siege troops arrived in front of the city, there were faint noises and shouts of killing in the city. Not long after, the city gate was slowly opened. On the side of the siege rebels, they could also see people and horses fighting at the city gate in the distance.
It has also become very intense.
"The city gates are all open, and you're just waiting for a bird, so you can just go and fight!"
In such an unexpected situation, before the leaders of the rebel army had recovered, the seemingly subordinate troops on one side of the formation burst into angry shouts. But seeing that Li Kui was alone,
Carrying the two axes, he just ran forward with all his might, throwing all the thousands of troops and horses that came with him far behind him...
