. Artillery, this is the artillery, mounted on the carriage, the dark barrel is like a sinister fang, looking evilly at the Puzhou City opposite. Hundreds of trainees from the Army Academy who were familiar with artillery lined up next to the artillery, began to aim at Puzhou City, and began to adjust the shooting angle.
Li Ji just stared blankly at the ten black logs in front of him, and he felt an inexplicable feeling of sadness in his heart.
Suddenly, he found that his heart was shaking. He was afraid of what was set up on the car in front of him. However, the distance of three hundred steps was already beyond the range of a bow and arrow. Did Puzhou City place any large-scale weapons? Bed Crossbow So, a hundred artillerymen in black began to adjust the shooting angle in a leisurely manner.
"Load -" the artillery flag shouted
The two soldiers began to pour gunpowder into the barrel, and then stuffed a solid football ball into the barrel.
"Start-" the general flag continued to shout
The two soldiers retreated, and one soldier stood next to the artillery with a torch.
¡°Launch¡ª¡± the general flag roared, waving the next small black flag
With a sound of "Bang -", the artillery began to tremble and roar. The light wall of Puzhou City trembled. Three of them hit the city wall and made three big holes in the city wall. One of them hit the city tower. The remaining four shots missed the corner of the tower and failed to focus on the target.
With this test firing, the artillery continued to adjust the angle
However, the defenders on Puzhou City were frightened.
They had no idea what had just happened. They only heard a roar, the city wall shook uncontrollably, and a corner of the city tower began to collapse.
"Could it be that the gods are roaring, and they are against us going against King Bei?" Many soldiers thought so in their hearts, and timidity began to slowly creep into their hearts_Pao&Êé&
The most surprised person was Li Ji. He never expected that the thing Li Ke displayed would be so powerful. Decades of military career had made him calm and did not believe in the stories of gods and ghosts. He knew clearly that this must be Li Ke. He had developed a siege equipment. However, he did not expect that this siege equipment would be so powerful, especially its deterrent power.
Li Ji could already see a trace of fear on the faces of the city guards.
what to do? He thought anxiously that he had to solve the situation in front of him.
However, he didn't think of a specific way. After hearing the artillery, he saw the cannons begin to roar, the city walls began to tremble and shake, and the city towers began to collapse.
Suddenly, many soldiers were hit by solid iron balls and hit the stone wall of the city tower behind. They looked unusual and scary.
The continuous firing of artillery, the sound of artillery, the roars and screams of the defenders intertwined together to form the most beautiful movement at dusk.
Indeed, the deterrence of artillery is far greater than its own effect
The sound of the artillery lasted for nearly half a stick of incense, and it was discovered that the guards on the top of the city were frightened, and even the non-stupid people ran away. They could not withstand the repeated attacks of the artillery. A gap appeared in the southeast direction of the city wall.
At the front of the team were 20,000 black cavalry troops. They were led by Pei Xinglian and Xue Rengui in two days. When they realized that the time was right, they took the opportunity to launch an attack. Under his leadership, the 20,000 black cavalry troops rushed towards Puzhou City. The guards in the city were frightened by the artillery. The sound of the artillery was so loud that it drowned out Li Ji's dispatching voice. Therefore, when Xue Rengui and Pei Xinglian's army entered the gap in the southeast of Puzhou, the people on the city were The guards on the city didn't realize it. It wasn't until a large group of cavalry entered Puzhou City that the guards on the city suddenly woke up.
However, in this case, except for Li Ji and the 20,000 Qizhou defenders beside him, the other 40,000 troops began to surrender because they felt that surrendering to the Northern King Li Ke was not a shameful thing.
¡°You bastard¡ªyou can¡¯t surrender, let me kill you¡ªwithstand the enemy¡ª¡± Li Ji roared
But it was no use, the soldiers did not listen to his orders at all
Even though he killed dozens of surrendering soldiers on the spot, everyone still ignored his orders
¡°Commanders of Qizhou, follow me and kill¡ª¡± Li Ji roared, raised his sword and attacked the black cavalry in the city.
Because, he knew very well that if he broke the city today, he would die, and Li Ke would never let him go.
However, Xue Rengui and Pei Xinglian, who were far away, had already set their sights on Li Ji. When they saw him heading towards them, they both urged their horses to kill Li Ji at the same time.
"Xue Li, don't compete with me for this old fuck¡ª¡ª" Pei Xinglian yelled unhappily.
"How about snatching it from you?" Xue Rengui ignored Pei Xinglian at all, "Your Highness is happy to see this old bastard kneeling in front of him, and I want to catch him alive."
After saying that, he beat his horse hard, trying to get past Pei Xinglian.
"Humph¡ª¡ª" Pei Xinglian snorted coldly, not willing to stay behind.He said loudly, "Then let's see who can capture this old bastard -" After saying that, he also whipped the war horse and charged towards Li Ji.
The personal guards around Li Ji were all descendants of the Xu family in Qizhou. When they saw the two young generals of the Tang army attacking their commander, they all raised their swords to attack Xue Rengui and Pei Xinglian. However, where did they come from? We can know how powerful Xue Rengui's painted halberd was. Any soldiers who were touched by the painted halberd would be killed or injured, and their horses would fall off one after another. Although Pei Xinglian's sword was not as lethal as Xue Rengui's, he swung the sword out, and all those who blocked him were in front of him. Qizhou soldiers also fell off their horses
When Li Ji saw how brave Pei Xinglian and Xue Rengui were, instead of retreating, he moved to meet them.
"Dang¡ª¡ª" There was a clear sound of impact. Pei Xinglian's sword met the long sword in Li Ji's hand. Both of their bodies panicked. At this moment, Xue Rengui's Fang Tian painted halberd hit hard. Li Ji screamed in front of Li Ji's chest, vomited blood, and fell off his horse.
"Humph¡ª¡ª" Xue Rengui snorted coldly.
"Humph¡ª¡ª" Pei Xinglian also snorted coldly.
The two of them grabbed Li Ji¡¯s lifeless body at the same time
Li Ji was defeated and captured. The black cavalry army was very strong. The Qizhou defenders were completely wiped out without long resistance.
The remaining 40,000 troops surrendered to Li Ke
In less than two hours, Li Ke captured Puzhou City, which Changsun Wuji had high hopes for.
Handed over 60,000 troops to Chen Qi and let him lead them to continue fighting towards Chang'an City
Li Ke only had 10,000 wolf cavalry battalions left beside him. He was sitting in the general's mansion in Puzhou, looking at Li Ji who was covered in blood.
When Li Ji was escorted to the hall of the General's Mansion, his face was livid and he didn't even look at Li Ke. However, Pei Xinglian and Xue Rengui behind him stopped and stepped on his calf hard. Li Ji screamed. With a sound, he knelt down in front of Li Ke. Li Ke did not stop Xue Rengui and Pei Xinglian from their actions, but looked coldly at Li Ji who was kneeling in front of him.
"General Li - I said that there is no city that cannot be captured -" Li Ke suddenly laughed, "You will eventually be defeated in my hands - this is your fate -"
"Li Ke, you can kill or scratch whatever you want - don't talk nonsense -" Li Ji was held down by Xue Rengui and Pei Xinglian. He could only kneel down. His knees hurt so much that sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Haha - you have to kill, it just depends on the Shafa -" Li Ke smiled and said, "If I behead you in front of the three armies of Chang'an City, will the effect be good?"
After Li Ke finished speaking, he laughed again and ordered Xue Rengui and Pei Xinglian to push Li Jing down and guard him closely.
