Chapter 97 Break the city

After a simple meal, everyone almost achieved their goal and their relationship became much closer.

The next day and night, the stone thrower in Nancheng continued to bombard, but it had been handed over to Peng Yibin's troops, and the Red Turban Army personnel were only responsible for guidance; and the engineer team also took turns to build construction and digging with all their efforts, and finally completed the task on schedule.

Meng Jiucheng informed Peng Yibin that the assault troops should be prepared before the early morning of the morning, divided them into two gates, and strengthened the defense of the south gate.

On that night, the siege troops entered the rest early, leaving only the guards to patrol the camp. The two-day rock bomb bombing also mobilized the Jin army to the south, playing a role of feint attack and restraint.

At four ominous moments, the assault troops were woken up, and then sorted out and quietly went to the designated area.

At the fifth hour of the ugly moment, Meng Jiucheng received rewards from all over the place, and the assault troops of the two armies were in place and were ready for an attack.

At the hour of Yin (that is, at 3 a.m.), the sky turned white, but it was the most sleepy time for people. Two fuses were ignited and they quickly headed down the city.

Looking at the city walls of Yizhou, Meng Jiucheng was in an unusual state of calm at this moment, and even he felt strange.

A moment passed so slowly, and Meng Jiucheng's calm mood did not last long. When he raised the telescope for the third time, a loud noise broke the tranquility of the morning.

Thick black smoke rose at the Yizhou city wall, and the earth shook violently. In the field of vision, the Yizhou city wall burst from the inside out, and broken wood and ash soil rose into the air, like a monster suddenly emerged from the belly of the city wall, roaring and rushing into the air.

Then, smoke and dust covered the wall tightly and could not see anything. But this was no longer important. People had seen the walls exploded, and the attack began with the sound of drums.

Teams of Red Turban soldiers, under the command of the officers, shouted and ran forward and charged. The further improved siege plan even took into account the armor of the forward soldiers, including all kinds of armor, and had strong protection.

"Run, kill!"

There were the same shouts in front, back, left and right, and He Sanbao was no exception. Undoubtedly, such shouts could make people more excited and more fanatical. Without any hesitation, he led the soldiers into the thin smoke and dust just now.

In the choking smell of black gunpowder, mixed with the cry of the injured, and his feet were stumbled. He Sanbao narrowed his eyes and tried hard to move forward in the broken wood and soil blocks.

Finally, his eyes suddenly lit up and the area filled with smoke and dust had already rushed out. Although it was still blurry like fine fog, his vision was basically unhindered. He saw the Jin soldiers, sparse, and it seemed that he had not woken up from his confusion. He also saw his comrades, and a team in front was shouting and pounced on him.

…………………

Pusan ​​Sahe was awakened in his sleep. He was frightened to see the beams of the house shaking, and the old and old gray were about to fall down. His face changed and he sat up suddenly, wondering what had happened?

When he got up and put on his clothes, the chaos outside could be heard. But Pusan ​​Sahe still did not expect that the city had been broken and the enemy was rushing into the city.

When the guards panicked and reported that the city had been broken and the enemy had opened the two gates in the north and east, and were pouring in, Pusan ​​Sahe was shocked and still angrily scolding the guards for talking nonsense in disbelief.

…………………

The Red Turban Army, which broke through the city defense, encountered very little resistance at first. On the one hand, the focus of the Jin army's defense was not here, and on the other hand, the sudden explosion and a fierce bombardment caused great casualties to the Jin army. The rest were surrounded by fear and confusion, and did not organize effective resistance in a short period of time.

Under the command of their respective commanders, the Red Turban Army soldiers quickly seized the broken entrances of the city walls on both sides, covering the follow-up troops into the city. The troops entering the city quickly advanced and attacked in the east and west directions according to the plan, expanding the occupied area, so that more troops could enter the city to participate in the war.

The shouts of killing were getting louder and louder, and the news of the city being broken spread from the north of the city, and the battle spread everywhere. The Jin army in other places woke up in their sleep, panic and chaos. When part of the Red Turban Army opened the east gate, Peng Yibin's troops poured in and attacked in depth, the failure of the Jin army was inevitable.

"Boom, boom!" Two pine cannons fired one after another on the cart. The dazzling white light flashed in front of the Jin army's eyes, and shrapnel as dense as raindrops came towards them.

Amid the screams and howlings of the Jin army, the fighting will of this Jin army was completely destroyed. Under the extremely fierce attack of the Red Turban soldiers, retreat turned into retreating, retreating became escape, leaving their swords and guns, and fleeing everywhere.

"Kill!" Chen Hong pulled out his spear from a Jin soldier, kicked the body down, and followed his comrades to chase him forward.

Although the battles in a few places were still fierce, there was no suspense. Most of the Jin army was defeated, and only a few of them fought stubbornly and struggled dyingly.

The sky became brighter and brighter, and the enemy and us were still fighting fiercely in the city. The shouts of killing and roars mixed together, echoing over the city.

Meng Jiucheng stood on the city tower and quietly stared at the city. The rising sun was rising, and red light shrouded in it, as if it was a blood-stained city.

"The Jin army obviously did not expect our army to break the city so quickly. They only focused on the defense of the city walls, but did not prepare for street fighting." Xiao Ying beside him said quietly: "If it weren't for this, our army's casualties would probably have increased significantly."

"The casualties today are not small." Meng Jiucheng paused for a moment, but turned to straighten his back and showed a firm look on his face. "The real strong army was trained in blood and fire. After this battle, another group of new recruits will mature."

"Yes, it's better to train soldiers than to train soldiers, and it's better to fight in real life." Xiao Ying pursed his lips and said coldly: "A real strong soldier can fight with one goal without reducing his fighting spirit. The more blood is, the more fearless he is."

Meng Jiucheng didn't say anything for a long time, and finally said in a low voice: "It's a pity that the name is Jin army, but most of them are Han people. Master Five, I'm not talking about you-

"I know." Xiao Ying waved his hand indifferently and said, "Actually, you should change your mind and don't always think about how to do it with the same nation. But I can't say it, you have to think about it yourself."

Meng Jiucheng sighed and said helplessly: "But I haven't figured it out."

"Then keep thinking." Xiao Ying said bluntly: "Think about the rebels, why did they raise the flag for? Think about yourself, why can you call on so many people to follow?"

Meng Jiucheng frowned and fell into long thoughts.
