Explosive packs are used to blow up bunkers and hard objects. Five hundred explosive packs! Even a steel plate made of iron cannot withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of five hundred explosive charges!
and! These explosive packs were specially picked up by Dongfang Yu from the Military Treasury before setting off for Beiliang. He knew that Luo Qicheng had high walls and thick walls, and a normal siege, even with the assistance of siege engines, would cause heavy losses.
Therefore! He just came up with such a bad idea, of course! Five hundred explosive packets are indeed overkill.
so! In order to prevent soldiers from losing explosive packages while crawling forward, five hundred soldiers were called to tie one package to each person. To blow up a small city gate, fifty packs of explosives are enough.
not to mention! This explosive pack is very precious. If it weren't for emergency situations, would he take out half of the explosive pack at the cost of heartache and bloodshed?
Ping ping ping pong!
Looking at the Tietong turtle shell advancing slowly below, the bows and arrows of the defenders were unable to penetrate the Qin army's shield.
do not know either! What on earth are these two thousand people going to do? Pushing the city gate open with human power? wishful thinking.
"Your Majesty! Look..." A general pointed at the Qin army that had pressed into the city gate, somewhat confused.
Dongfang Zhi also took a look and immediately showed a disdainful smile, "Haha! My Luo Qi City Gate is extremely hard. How can a few soldiers push it open... It's really ridiculous!"
Dongfang Yu's firepower was indeed extremely fierce. The other three city gates, King Qi, King Chu, and King Yan, tried their best, but without heavy weapons, the battle was very fierce.
And when he heard about the west gate, King Dongfang Yu of Qin covered the west gate with powerful artillery fire, covered the siege army, and attacked the west gate. He was extremely envious.
This guy! If there are enough cannonballs, even a bombardment can knock down the Luo Qi City Gate!
boom!
Just as Dongfang Zhi finished speaking, a loud noise like thunder rumbled around him and even in the entire sky.
A huge wave of fire, accompanied by debris from the city gate, exploded instantly.
Two thousand Qin soldiers, after stacking the explosive packs, pulled out a fuse sufficient for retreat, and quickly retreated the moment after they were ignited.
Roar!
The fire waves dispersed and emitted an extremely low roar, as if even the city walls were about to collapse.
Behind the city gate, the soldiers who were struggling to hold the city gate were immediately swallowed up by the powerful wave of fire like wild beasts. Even their skin, flesh and bones were blown to pieces.
"Okay! So strong!"
Feeling the incomparably huge power and the roar like a dragon roaring from the city gate, Dongfang Zhi's heart couldn't help but be frightened.
Gulu~
The two thousand soldiers who retreated looked at the messy scene in front of them. They couldn't help but touch their throats, swallowed their saliva, and said in horror: "The power of this explosive pack is so huge. No wonder the king asked me to retreat immediately after lighting the fuse. ! If you stay here for just a moment, your body will be gone immediately."
Seeing the situation, the two thousand soldiers immediately reacted from the shock.
The leading general instantly pushed away the shield above his head, brandished his sword, and shouted: "Brothers, quickly occupy the city gate."
A large area of the Wu State city defense force behind them had been killed long ago. There were almost no soldiers stationed behind the city gate. Attacking at this time was the best time to capture the city gate.
"Your Majesty! Wake up quickly, the city gate has been blown open! Two thousand Qin troops rushed in crazily." Zhang Mu came to report in a hurry, and big beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
No one expected that it only took twenty minutes for Dongfang Yu to invade Luo Qicheng.
"Hu Xiaoyue listened to the order and led the Xuanjia Army to kill them from the main gate and immediately occupied the city gate."
"Bai Qi and Zhang Han each led five thousand cavalry, and then they supplemented them and entered the city as quickly as possible!"
"The rest of the people, after the three of them attack the inner city, follow the solitary to cover them up." Dongfang Yu seized the opportunity and immediately gave the order.
"Destroy the traitors, destroy Dongfang Zhi, and rescue His Majesty!"
While shouting angrily, the three of them led the cavalry at the same time and rushed out quickly.
At this time, Dongfangzhi finally became confused.
The morale of the army was shaken. Facing such a strong Qin army, even defending the city was under tremendous pressure. Once the city gate was broken, it would be a real frontal attack.
In a head-on fight, Ximen's 10,000-strong army is not even qualified to fill a hole in someone's teeth.
Dongfang Zhijiu stayed on the spot, his mind was already noisy, his eyes were empty and dull, like a vegetative state.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, what should we do!" Zhang Mu asked weakly with a trembling double tone, fearing that his words would arouse Dongfang Zhi's temper.
He is a minister under Dongfang Zhi, so he naturally knows his master's character. It just so happens that Dongfangzhi's hobby is to draw a knife and kill someone if they disagree with him.
Bang!
really! Dongfang Zhi raised his palm and slapped Zhang Mu hard on the face. The crisp sound shocked the surrounding soldiers.
I don’t know how much strength Dongfang Zhi used? With this slap, Zhang Mu was slapped directly into the mud. He turned on his back foot and fell to the ground.
Zhang Mu stroked his painful face, feeling extremely frightened, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
"What nonsense, let me take back the city gate."
The next second, Dongfang Zhi took out the sword from his armor.
In the cold light, he was heading towards the city to kill.
At this time, the Qin army had completely occupied the city gate, and two thousand people quickly moved in.
The Great Qin cavalry rushing behind them also quickly arrived at the city gate.
Just when Dongfangzhi led the soldiers on the city and met the soldiers below the city. There was a commotion and miserable shouts from the rear army on the other side and the soldiers behind him.
Tear!
exactly! Within the city defense army, countless masked soldiers suddenly poured out, wearing black ghost masks. This kind of person with a ghost mask is like a devil from hell, trying to lure people into hell.
Zhang Mu was beaten severely by Dongfang Zhi just now, and the next second! A bright red gash was opened at the throat with a dagger, and in an instant! The blood couldn't stop spurting out.
this……
Dongfang Zhi was stunned again. What was going on? The man wearing a ghost mask behind him was obviously wearing the clothes of the city defense army!
"Who are you? Why are you rebelling against me?" All the guards around Dongfang Zhi were killed, but he was the only one who was still trembling.
Just listen, a woman-like voice comes from the ghost-faced man, "It's really ridiculous. We are the secret guards of King Qin. How can we rebel? It's you, the rebel minister of Wu Kingdom, who imprisoned His Majesty and committed such treason." This thing should have been punished long ago."
"Also, look at those armies of yours!"
The woman winked and looked at the imperial guards and city defense troops under the city.
At this time, the two armies were completely in chaos due to the agitation of hundreds of men in black.
Moreover, for Dongfang Yu's secret guards, close combat is what they are best at.
