One hundred and thirty explosive bombs hit the wall of Songyuan City accurately. A burst of dust flew up, and the entire south gate wall of Songyuan City shook!
Ye Hu and his lieutenants, who had just regained their composure, were trying their best to stabilize themselves on the tower in fear.
The two of them looked at each other and understood the meaning in each other's eyes. Could it be that the other party wanted to blow down the wall of Songyuan City?
But...how is this possible?
This is a city wall. How could anything be able to knock it down? Even if it is divine punishment!
It's a pity that they guessed correctly, the Yunzhou Army was going to blow down the city wall!
Since you are hiding in the city wall and holding on, I will blow down the city wall and force you to fight with me head-on!
It's hard for me to fight you when you are defending the city. Do you think we will be afraid of you when we fight in the field? I have an army of more than 600,000, and every one of you can drown you with just a drop of spit!
Just as the first round ended, the artillery battalion skillfully started the second round of loading. However, it took sixty breaths of effort to finish loading the artillery shells. Following the battalion commander’s order, the rumbling artillery fire hit the third round. Got out in the second round!
Then comes the third round! Round 4! Fifth round! …
As the number of attacks increased, the soldiers of the artillery battalion gradually adapted to this rhythm, each time getting faster and faster. By the sixth round, it had even reached the point where it only took thirty breaths to reload!
Round after round of artillery fire bombardment, Songyuan City never stopped shaking under the attack of artillery fire. The rustling rubble continued to fall off the city wall. Finally, in the ninth round, with the ninth round of artillery shells falling on the previous bombardment As he passed by, there was a crisp sound, and cracks began to spread throughout the wall!
Ye Hu and others who were hiding on the city wall at the top of the city heard the clicking sound that was extremely clear even in the sound of artillery fire, and their hearts suddenly jumped!
broken!
The wall is really going to collapse!
No longer caring about hiding, Ye Hu couldn't care less about his image. He stood up and ran up the stairs to the city as hard as he could, shouting: "The wall is going to collapse, get down quickly! The wall is going to collapse!" Get down quickly!"
He couldn't help but cleverly noticed the strange situation in the city wall, and ran towards the stairs to the city. In an instant, everyone was running to the same place, and the road was blocked!
Ye Hu looked at the crowd in front of him dumbfounded, and suddenly regretted why he had shouted just now, wouldn't it be better to run away secretly?
It's over now! And at this moment, the tenth round of artillery fire roared in!
Hearing the harsh whistling sound, Ye suddenly knew that it would be too late if he didn't go to the city!
Gritting his teeth, he rushed towards the wall. When he came to the city wall, looking at the ground that was three feet high, Ye Hu felt dizzy.
However, the whistling sound became more and more harsh. At this time, the signs were getting closer and closer. There was no time for him to hesitate. He gritted his teeth and grabbed a soldier next to him who was desperately pushing forward. He grabbed him in his frightened eyes. Pushing down the city wall, he followed closely and jumped down at the soldier, grabbing the soldier tightly in mid-air and curling his whole body into his arms.
For now, I can only hope that having such a buffer can save my life!
Ye Hu's lieutenant was dumbfounded when he saw the general doing this, but he quickly realized that this was a way out. He was about to turn around and grab someone to support him. Unexpectedly, the next moment he was pushed down by a huge force, and his ear was came a familiar voice.
"Sir Lieutenant General, you usually hit and scold me, but I have endured it. This time you can be my backer!"
The next moment, one of them curled up into his arms in mid-air. The deputy general had only one thought in his mind at this time!
broken! Being used as a backer!
…
In the face of life and death, human nature is selfish. Ye Hu's method made many people's eyes shine. For his own life, the lives of others became his own hope of survival at this moment. The gate of the city was like dumplings. People keep falling down!
Some jumped with a cushion on their back, some couldn't hold on to the cushion and could only jump with their teeth, and there were also others who tried to use themselves or others as a cushion, but they all stumbled and fell.
The selfishness of human nature is vividly displayed at this moment!
And the tenth round of artillery fire would not be late because of them. With a piercing roar, it hit the city wall hard, and then after a deafening explosion, the wall of Songyuan City finally reached the limit of endurance!
It collapsed with a bang!
Smoke and dust are everywhere, and gravel is shooting out!
In the smoke and dust that filled the sky, some people were buried in the ruins of the city wall and let out their last wails. Some people were buried tightly by the collapsed city wall just as they were safely off the wall, and they didn't even have time to say their last words.
Some were almost killed by the broken city wall and went to see their gods!
The three-foot-high city wall collapsed, and nearly ten battles around it were within his damage range. Many people who were under the city had no time to run, and those who had just finished their night shift and were forcibly nearby were also buried by the city wall.
At this time, I don’t know how many people died somewhere. At least Ye Hu, who was lucky enough to jump off the city wall, had no time to run far, and was hit in the head by a falling stone on the spot!
The brains were scattered all over the place! And his lieutenant had already been thrown to death when someone was using him as a backing, or maybe he was crushed to death!
In short, the southern wall of Songyuan City is gone!
In front of me, there is a smooth road!
The 150,000 Yunzhou Army soldiers and 500,000 Tatars were shocked, but they all showed their ferocious fangs and followed Zhao Jun into the city!
Then they began to rush into the city!
Fortunately, the Yunzhou Army protected Zhao Jun all the way to the city lord's palace. They knew where the most important things in the city were.
City defense plans, city layout plans, fish scale atlases, previous years' taxes, etc. are all the most important documents of a city.
So as soon as they entered the city, Zhao Jun ordered his army to go straight to the city lord's palace.
And those Tatars were like wild horses or wild dogs without leashes, waving machetes and grinning, running around in the city, looking for what they wanted, and executing Zhao Jun's orders. Massacre the city!
In the evening, when Zhao Jun moved into the city lord's palace and the Yunzhou Army deployed defenses around it, these Tatar tribesmen gathered back from all directions with their backpacks on their shoulders.
Apparently they all came home with a lot of experience.
Although the soldiers of the Yunzhou Army were envious, they had no intention of joining. Compared to the Tatars, the prince had very strict requirements for the Yunzhou Army, especially the prohibition of burning, killing and looting.
They are only allowed to kill on the frontal battlefield, or to fight back when the enemy attacks them. They are absolutely not allowed to become soldiers and bandits in ordinary times!
That night, the Khans of the large and small tribes who had returned with full loads gathered at the city lord's palace, and everyone made a plan to rest here for three days before continuing to the next city.
And their next target is clearly Bijie City behind Songyuan City.
Compared with Songyuan Bijie, it is much smaller, but it can also accommodate more than 30,000 troops. It would not be so easy for the original Tatars to handle it.
But after seeing the powerful artillery of the Yunzhou Army, everyone was full of confidence!
City wall? What the hell, where is the city wall?
have? Then blow it down! If one round doesn’t work, then ten rounds! If ten rounds don’t work, then twenty rounds!
They are not allowed to have a towering wall in front of them!
The news that Songyuan City was breached reached the rear the next day, and then spread further.
When the King of Guishuang learned that Songyuan City had been destroyed, the city walls were blown down, and General Ye Hu had died in battle, the entire palace was instantly shocked!
But soon, about three days later, they received news of the destruction of Bijie City again. The same city wall was directly blown down. The 30,000 defenders in the city were not even able to squeeze their teeth in front of an army of more than 600,000 people. The soldiers vying for military exploits were all divided up!
At this time, the Kushan nobles and Qiu Ye in Ankang City panicked!
There are at most five cities after Bijie City before reaching the Royal City. But judging from the opponent's current progress, it will take at most half a month for the opponent to attack!
What should I do?
In order to protect themselves, the Guishuang monarchs and ministers immediately decided to gather all their troops to fight the opponent. Since the city could not be defended, they would directly fight the opponent in the field!
Immediately, he appointed another general in the royal city, and at the same time issued a recruitment order to the whole country, bringing all the armies from other places back. At the same time, he also recruited strong men from the people to form a new army, and sent messages to the countries in the Western Region to force them to prepare. Supply them with supplies to fight the war!
Then...the countries in the Western Region rebelled!
