MTL - Unparalleled Concubine-v2 Chapter 1098 Frontal fight!
Chapter 1098 The frontal battle!
After the captain dispersed the crowd, he also took a few steps back, and then tried his best to throw the fire book in his hand into these cloth bags!
"Boom!"
A deafening loud bang resounded across the entire battlefield. At this time, everyone in the Ningzhou army who was under the city was numb from the shock. Even the forbidden army on the city wall was stunned by the loud noise. froze in place.
The Captain of the Ningzhou Army Pioneer Battalion who set fire to the fire, as well as several Ningzhou Army officers and soldiers who were relatively close to the city gate, were instantly lifted by a huge force and flew several meters away when the loud noise sounded!
Among them, the captain who ignited the fire was injured the most by the shock wave, and blood was oozing from the corner of his mouth.
The west gate of the capital is full of gunpowder smoke.
Before the smoke of gunpowder had dissipated, the soldiers of the Imperial Army on the city wall also reacted, and they still threw thunders under the city wall.
After a while, the thick smoke wrapped around the West City Gate dissipated, revealing the current appearance of the West City Gate!
I saw the West City Gate at this time, as if it had been twisted by a strange force, revealing the mahogany material of the city gate itself. At the same time, there were several huge cracks on the city gate. Pushed open by this enormous force, the latch behind the door was also twisted and broken by this strange force, revealing a gap that could allow two people to pass through!
This
At this time, the city gates are generally very tall and unlikely to be made of pure metal. First, they are too heavy. Second, the process of integral molding is not easy, and it is difficult to transport them. Therefore, the general city gates are wooden gates. With a layer of red paint, some gates of big cities will be nailed with iron and copper nails on the outside.
The gate of the capital is made of high-quality mahogany. Although it is extremely thick and sturdy, even a battering ram is difficult to break open, but it was blown up in the face by almost 800 kilograms of gunpowder, and it was not torn apart on the spot. .
Of course, the reason why it couldn't be fully blasted is because the power of these gunpowders is not concentrated. If conditions permit, you can dig a hole under the city gate and make a serious blasting point. No problem, overturning a city gate is definitely not difficult.
Although the effect of "blasting" is not ideal, the effect is sufficient. A gap has been blown out for two people to enter and exit. Under the cover of the firepower of the distant catapult, the people of the pioneer battalion only took a few breaths. Four or five people rushed in through this gap. After these four or five people entered the city gate, they did not want to rush into the city for the first time, but worked together to remove the twisted and broken door bolt from the door hole. out!
Because the city gate is huge, this door latch is no different from an ordinary small tree, plus it has been deformed and twisted and stuck in the door hole. With the combined force of the five people, the door latch was only pulled out a little bit!
However, there were originally guards behind the city gate. Although these people were blown away by the huge force of gunpowder, other guards quickly reacted. Support has come from outside!
At this time, about 10 or 20 vanguard battalion soldiers came in through the hole. These 20 people looked at the Gyeonggi Imperial Army rushing over. One of the vanguard battalion team was releasing a thunderbolt from its waist. After lighting it, he threw it into the forbidden army array, and then he drew his saber from his waist and gritted his teeth: "Brothers, block them!"
"Block them and buy time for the brothers behind you. Once you open the city gate, the battle will be won!"
The rules of the Southwest Army, the level of the leader of the team, whether it is a firearms battalion or not, will be allotted a thunderbolt. Now the thunderbolt in his waist has been thrown out, and then he can only draw a knife and kill himself!
People on both sides had red eyes, either armed with knives or spears, shouting and killing each other.
The general of the Imperial Guard over there was also roaring loudly: "The rebels have entered through the city gate, be sure to block them and close the city gate!"
"Follow me to kill!"
The two groups of people were fighting fiercely in the city gate cave.
Fortunately, the five people who entered the city the most, with the help of later people, quickly pulled out the twisted and disrespectful door bolt from the city gate hole. The west gate of the capital finally opened slowly!
The Ningzhou Army, who had already rushed to the city gate, was instantly refreshed and shouted loudly: "The city gate is open, the city gate is open!"
"Go into the city, go into the city!"
The morale was boosted for a while, and the Ningzhou troops rushed towards the West City Gate one by one!
Seeing this, Li Shuo at the rear also decisively ordered the firearms battalion to move forward.
The Ningzhou Army was outside the capital for more than two months, and finally entered the capital for the first time.
Li Shuo, who was in command at the rear, after instructing the tactical arrangement, turned around and walked to a high slope, and bowed his head slightly to Li Xin, who was watching the battle on the high slope: "General, the West Gate is broken."
Li Xin put down the telescopic mirror in his hand and said calmly, "I see."
"The speed at which the Ningzhou Army opened the West City Gate was almost as fast as I expected."
Because of the existence of firearms, the city wall of the capital was never difficult for Li Xin. In fact, as early as two months ago, he had the ability to open the west gate of the capital as easily as today.
The problem is that the people in the capital are not quails waiting to be slaughtered. It is not difficult to enter the capital. The difficulty is how to win the 200,000 forbidden troops in the capital after entering the capital!
The Southwest Army was too small to withstand too much consumption. In the case of Tianlei on the opposite side, Li Xin estimated that even if the Southwest Army could win the forbidden army, it would not have the energy to occupy the capital.
This is one of the reasons why he hesitated for two months without starting.
Li Shuo stood behind Li Xin, bowed his head and said, "General, the city gate has been broken, please ask General for instructions on how to fight next."
Li Xin took another look at the fierce battle ahead and frowned slightly: "I only have one sentence, I don't want to enter the imperial city, but the momentum should be as loud as possible, and people should try to die as little as possible."
"Don't fight recklessly with the enemy. If the situation is not right, withdraw temporarily. We have enough gunpowder. If we can blow up the city gate once, we can blow up the second time."
Having said that, Li Xin looked at Li Shuo and said slowly, "I only have so many requirements. As for how to fight, you can decide for yourself."
Li Shuo took a deep breath and bowed his head slightly to Li Xin: "General, what if my Ningzhou army is capable of breaking into the imperial city?"
General Li was stunned for a while, then shook his head slightly: "Then Dajin should really die."
"If you want to try, you can give it a try, but at most I will only allow half of the Ningzhou army to be killed or injured. If half of the Ningzhou army is killed, and the shadow of the imperial city cannot be seen, then don't die in vain."
Having said that, Li Xin looked up at the sky.
Now is the best time of the day.
He bowed his head and thought for a moment, then said slowly: "Today's battle must be fought at night. I will arrange for someone to sneak into the city at night."
Li Shuo nodded silently: "I understand at the end."
Having said that, he turned and left, and went down to command the battle again.
Li Xin stood alone on this high slope, and muttered to himself as he looked at the artillery-fired capital in front of him.
"If everything goes well, it won't be long before I can live back in Jing'an Houfu."
