Chapter 463 Victory 2
Chapter 463 Victory 2
Using artillery does not mean destroying the city walls, because there are only two artillery pieces that arrive at the king, and the ammunition they carry is very limited, so the purpose is to clear a blank area near the city gate to facilitate the king's army to attack the city, and at the same time reduce their casualties. As for the current situation, the effect is still good.
Due to the large amount of psychological warfare the day before, the soldiers and ordinary people in the city had a shadow in their hearts, that is, this rebellion was condemned by God, aroused God's anger, and he would be punished by God. After all, in their hearts, God is always right, and God also exists, and he observes this land at all times, although they have never seen God.
The soldiers on the walls that were bombarded were used to facing the enemy, watching their bows and arrows shoot into the enemy's chest, or the sound of their weapons slashing on the enemy's bones, but now they face invisible enemies. Only every short period of time will there be sharp whistling sounds in the sky, then huge fireballs rise on the walls, and then violent explosions. At the same time, there are screams of the unlucky soldiers, flying everywhere with blood and limbs.
The soldiers began to escape the city wall. Even if the officers were dancing with swords, it would be useless. Faced with such rumors that they had never seen the enemy and the rumors they heard yesterday, all the soldiers began to fear and retreat. Not long after, the broken city wall was immediately empty.
Now in the king's military camp, the two cannons continued to roar, and the soldier who was talking to the king yesterday was looking at the city wall in the distance with a barrel.
Next to him, there was also a soldier wearing ordinary armor standing.
"Captain! How is the situation now?"
The soldier next to him said.
The captain did not put down the barrel, but said lightly: "It seems that they used their mental tactics yesterday, and they have achieved the preliminary estimate of the prince. Now there is basically no one on that part of the city wall!"
Speaking of this, he paused and said, "Replace in the incendiary bomb, each gun involves five rounds, and then prepare to concentrate on shooting the city gate and blow the city gate open for me!"
"Shoot the city gate?"
The soldier next to him was stunned and said strangely, "Our shells are mostly grenades, and it's okay to shoot targets on the ground, but is it a waste of shells to attack the city gate?"
The captain smiled and said, "At first I thought the same, but after watching yesterday I realized that opening the city gate is a good way!"
Then he handed the lens barrel to the soldier next to him and smiled, "Look at what their city gate is made of?"
The soldier took the lens tube in confusion, looked carefully, and exclaimed immediately, "Now there are people who use wood to make the city gate? It's incredible!"
"There's nothing strange about this!"
The captain surrendered the city wall that had already set off in the distance, and said, "Ten years ago, our Dazhou was like them. It was undoubtedly a dream to lift the iron city gate without the help of machinery! Using wood as the city gate is undoubtedly the best choice. In fact, for them, the wooden door can effectively prevent other troops from attacking!"
The soldier returned the barrel to the captain and said, "But if you meet us, then they will be unlucky. Such a large caliber artillery is really simple to destroy such a wooden door."
"Don't be too happy too early!"
The captain's words were a little serious and said, "After destroying the city gate, our mission was completed 80% of it, but for them, the battle had just begun. When I was studying, some of it was about street fighting. At the same time, this was also a kind of war situation with the greatest casualties! In it, because the place was narrow, we could not expand our troops at all. If we could surround others with one thousand, but in this open land, the streets were very narrow, maybe only one hundred of us had contact with the enemy, and the remaining nine hundred were only in a hurry behind us!"
However, the soldiers next to him did not seem to listen to what he said, but exclaimed after he finished speaking, "Study, are you going to the National Defense and Military Officers Academy in the City of Paradise?"
The captain turned his head and said, "You know too!"
The soldiers nodded and said, "Of course, there is basically no one in the army who doesn't know where, but I'm a little surprised that all the officers who come out there can be valued, why are you willing to be a small captain in the fleet? If you were in the Great Zhou Dynasty, you will now have at least a thousand troops!"
The captain smiled slightly and said, "Not a thousand, but ten thousand!"
"Ten thousand!"
The soldier couldn't help but exclaim, "Ten thousand, then you are all generals? Then why are you still coming to the fleet?"
The captain's goal seemed distant and he whispered: "Because, even if I let me be a soldier in front of the myth, I would do it!"
The soldier was stunned here and immediately thought of something. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, only one person, his face suddenly became excited and said in a trembling voice: "You said...!"
The captain nodded and said, "Of course I don't know that you are on the Dragon Five ship. In fact, he has always been the one who commanded us for the past few months!"
The soldier was excited, his face full of excitement, and at this time, five incendiary bombs had been fired, and all the firepower was concentrated on the city gate.
In order to facilitate opening, the city gate was made into a suspension bridge and also opened outward, which reduced the difficulty of shooting. With just a few shells, the city gate was blown into pieces, and at the same time, the rebels behind the city gate were also affected.
After opening the city gate, the artillery extended the fire point behind the city gate, in order to prevent local congestion at the door and block the attack of the king's army.
Yesterday, messages were spreading in the city, but in the king's tent outside the city, they were discussing how to cooperate. According to the plan agreed yesterday, when the artillery fired incendiary bombs, the king should organize an army to attack the city under the city wall next to the road, and start siegeing the city, and compete with the rebels for time. After all, once the artillery fires, the rebels will definitely control the city wall again. Therefore, there is not much time left for the king and others. At the same time, cavalry must be organized to quickly attack the city gate and open the passage for the army behind.
And as of now, the king was quite sure of this time. After the rebels retreated on the city wall, he immediately ordered the troops to attack the city. When he arrived at the city gate, the incendiary bombs on the city wall began to ignite a blazing flame, and to ensure that the troops in the backyard successfully climbed the city wall. They began to attack the city without waiting for the flames to be extinguished.
Just as they started to attack the city, the wooden suspension bridge had been destroyed. A team of cavalry rushed into the city gate before the smoke had not yet dissipated. Behind them were heavy armored soldiers. The city gate was also the first contact between the two soldiers in the siege. The rebels who had just been at the door had basically been eliminated. Except for some of them being killed by artillery, most of them fell under the horse hooves of the cavalry and the spears of the heavy armored infantry behind.
At this time, the artillery that was covering the fire had already extended the bullet point into the city. Although the number of artillery was limited, it prevented the rebels from reinforcements. The cavalry and heavy armored infantry that had stood firmly expanded rapidly into the outer city, and then struggled to move towards the city wall. At the same time, after firmly guarding the city gate, a steady stream of soldiers were rushing in through the city gate.
For a moment, the sound of killing in the city shook the sky and screams were endless.
In the war, even if there was only one person left in the end, there were successes and losers. This time, the losers were undoubtedly the rebels. At first, the inexplicable explosion at the city gate had scared them out of their courage. Now that the king's army has invaded the city, it is undoubtedly a little worse for them. In the hearts of most of them, they have basically had an idea, that is, they have already been defeated, so many people began to defeat, which immediately triggered the rebels' defeat. Relatively speaking, the king's army became more and more brave as they fought, fighting hard, and chasing behind the rebels.
Human lives are very small under war. On the way from the gate of the city to the palace, there are corpses everywhere, including rebels and kings' troops, but now it doesn't matter which side they belong. Death makes no limit between them, and they all become victims of this war. Although some of them will be buried with a thick burial, some may be dug into a big pit and buried randomly, what is the significance of these to the dead? Their final result will be to turn into nutrients from plants in the soil.
When the king's army attacked the palace, they encountered some tenacious resistance, but this resistance was very limited. For the rebels, they were already desperate, and their final resistance was only a dying struggle, which increased casualties. Faced with the king's army, their resistance was so small that it was cleared out soon.
At this time, the king and others had already arrived at the palace. Under his leadership, the soldiers walked into the palace.
When they came to the hall of the palace, the rebels, the chief and the king's most beloved concubine were sitting on his throne, holding a glass of wine in their hands, which was a specialty of Yinghai Kingdom.
Seeing the king rushed in with his soldiers, they raised their glasses at him, and without saying much, they drank it all.
The wine was obviously heavily poisoned, and within a while, the two of them were always on the eyes.
Seeing the smiles on the two of them, the king suddenly felt absurd. The concubine was his only wife whom he forced to get back, but he did not expect that she was the lover of the general he trusted the most.
After understanding the reason for the war, the king suddenly grew older in his teens. The reason for this inexplicable war was actually this. For this reason, many warriors from the Shadow Sea Kingdom were buried in the territory they guarded.
