Even the few armored cavalry who managed to escape by chance were all wiped out by the dense musketry and even the sky-shaking thunder.
As for those light cavalry, they were quickly wiped out by muskets and crossbows.
The Marine Corps is a gold-eating behemoth, but it is also a team composed of half of the musketeers and crossbowmen. They only need long-range attacks to make the enemy unable to fight back.
And this war itself is an unequal war.
Now that the Han army has broken the city, the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty have lost their fighting spirit. They even stop saluting when they pass by Yuwen Gong, because for them, the city is about to change its owner, and their future is no longer controlled by Yuwen Gong.
Even Yuwen Gong could not protect himself.
"Your Highness, let's go!" the guards shouted anxiously.
The gunfire outside has become increasingly intensive, not to mention the earth-shattering sound of killing.
The Han army's musketeers outside the city had already formed an array and advanced forward, crossing the bridge on the moat. In front of them, the swordsmen and shieldmen were running faster and were already fighting with the Zhou army who was still resisting stubbornly in the gap.
Not all Zhou people have lost their fighting spirit. There are still many people who are afraid of being liquidated after the city is broken because of their status as Xianbei people, or who have hatred against the Han, or who have been favored by their own generals and want to use their
The death penalty has arrived, so they are still using their own flesh and blood to carry out meaningless resistance.
They also imagined that reinforcements might arrive in the blink of an eye.
The artillery no longer carried out demolition, but continued to send explosive shells to the top of the city, so that the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who still tried to hit the Han army with wood and rolling stones could only scream and be torn into pieces. More and more Han soldiers were
It has already rushed in through the gap.
The swordsmen and shieldmen in the front row formed a straight line to protect the robes behind them, and behind the swordsmen and shieldmen were not the spearmen who usually cooperated with them in combat. After all, the Marine Corps had to consider the possibility of a boarding battle.
Therefore, there are not many spearmen equipped. Even the soldiers who are good at using spears are more likely to switch to short spears, even if it is one in each hand.
Therefore, the soldiers behind the shield bearer hold thunderbolts in their hands.
One after another, the thunderbolts were thrown out. Although the explosion effect of these black iron eggs was not as good as that of artillery shells, and some even sizzled and then stopped making any movement, as long as one could
The explosion was a great threat to the Northern Zhou soldiers who were originally gathered together.
One explosive thunder is enough to overturn four or five people gathered together.
Perhaps the power of the explosion plus the scattered fragments and the nails, blades and other things mixed inside are not enough to kill people, but the air waves set off by the explosion are enough to make these people lose their ability to fight. In a hand-to-hand encounter, chess
A single move could kill him, let alone throw him to the ground. The sword and shield hand could take a few steps forward and cut off the head with one strike.
For a time, the Northern Zhou army did not dare to get together and could only be scattered, with two or three people fighting back to back. However, the Han army's sword and shield wielders directly pressed forward and could easily defeat each one with their numerical advantage.
When the thunder is thrown, even if the enemy holds a shield, there is no way to prevent it from passing over the head and falling into the crowd. However, the Han saber shield hand holds the shield, which can effectively prevent the scattered fragments and air waves.
Therefore, as long as it is not close to the explosion point, even close combat cannot really threaten the Han army.
This may be the advantage of the small power of the sky-shattering thunder.
"Boom!" There was another loud noise, and the earth trembled.
Yuwen Gong, who was standing on the main street of Yan County, could only watch helplessly as the city gate was suddenly pushed open. The heavy wooden door could not withstand the huge power of the explosion and collapsed backwards. Perhaps in this case,
It's already pretty good if the two doors don't fly out directly.
Luo Yi still felt that it was too slow to advance troops through a small gap, so he simply piled up countless gunpowder packets and blew open the city gate.
Anyway, the attention of the Northern Zhou soldiers on the city gate has long been attracted to the gap. Many of them have even run down to the city to support the battle in the gap. No one on the city gate can stop Luo Yi from sending people to stack gunpowder.
Bag.
"Fix bayonets!" The Han army's musketeers moved in unison, and after firing the last round, they all rushed in from the city gate.
The soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who were originally at the gate of the city did not expect that they would come so suddenly. The bullets fired from the muskets formed a fan and covered them. Many of them fell to the ground without even having time to shout and alert their companions.
The remaining injured soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were running around in confusion, but the musketeers were following them closely. The muskets did not become fire sticks without bullets, and the sharp bayonets were not even thrown away when they faced them.
Wherever the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty went, they still had an absolute advantage.
Even the Han army's musketeers had already rushed towards Yuwen Gong along the avenue.
Although Yuwen Gong did not raise the general's flag, the Han army officers and soldiers could still see such a group of people surrounded by personal guards, so they naturally rushed here to kill them.
Yuwen Gong's personal guards were shocked. They did not expect that the Han army would kill them in front of them in a matter of seconds, and the spearmen and other spearmen in the personal guards had been deployed to the battlefield at the gap in the city wall.
The guards around Yuwen Gong are all armed with short knives. Although compared to the spearmen and soldiers holding axes and axes, who are no different from the honor guard, they are the sharpest among the guards, but this weapon is every inch longer.
Strength cannot be changed, and the Han army with muskets still has an advantage over them.
What's more, there are so many families.
This time, Yu Wengong couldn't help but be distracted. The guards held him up and ran back. The melee just now caused all the horses under the city wall to scatter. Now he only hopes to find a horse for His Highness King Yan as soon as possible.
Arrows rained down one after another. The guards fell to the ground one after another.
The crossbowmen also watched the excitement and poured into the city one after another. Obviously, all the credit cannot be taken away by the musketeers. They eat meat, and the crossbowmen also have to drink soup, right?
"Those in front of you, stop running away!"
Gunshots broke out, accompanied by the shouts of the musketeers.
No one responded.
There was another lonely gunshot, and the bullet hit one of the guards holding Yuwen Gong. The guard felt a pain in his back and fell to the ground.
The other guards also stopped and stood there stiffly.
They have realized that there is no use running anymore.
In this unobstructed street, it is a living target for muskets.
"Fortunately, there is one round left in the barrel." The Han military captain who rushed in with the musketeers couldn't help but muttered.
In fact, no one else had reloaded their muskets. Once they were reloaded, Yuwen Gong would be able to run out of range.
However, the attack just now had obviously made the Northern Zhou people give up this attempt.
Yuwen Gong seemed to have come to his senses at this moment, stretched out his hand to push away the guard, and turned around.
