The use of artillery is not to destroy the city wall, because there are only two artillery arriving at the king, and the ammunition they carry is also very limited, so the purpose is only to clear a blank area near the city gate to facilitate the king's army to attack city, while also reducing their casualties. As far as the current situation is concerned, the effect is still good.
Due to the extensive use of psychological warfare the day before, everyone in the city, whether they were soldiers or ordinary people, had a shadow in their hearts, that is, this rebellion was condemned by God and caused God's Anger will definitely be punished by God. After all, in their hearts, this God is always right, and God also exists, observing this land all the time, even though they have never seen God.
The soldiers on the section of the city wall that were bombarded were used to facing the enemy and seeing the sound of their bows and arrows hitting the enemy's chest, or the sound of their weapons chopping on the enemy's bones, but now, they were facing something invisible. The enemy, only every short period of time, there will be a sharp whistling sound in the sky, and then there will be a huge fireball rising on the city wall, and then there will be a violent explosion, and at the same time, there will be those unlucky soldiers Screams, blood and broken limbs flying everywhere.
The soldiers began to flee from that section of the city wall. Even if the officers wielded their swords and chopped down one or two soldiers, it was of no avail. Facing this kind of enemy they had never seen before, and at the same time the rumors they heard yesterday, all the soldiers began to become timid and started to After retreating, not long after, the broken city wall became empty.
Now in the king's barracks, the two artillery pieces are still roaring, and the soldier who talked to the king yesterday is looking at the distant city wall through the lens tube.
Next to him, there was also a soldier wearing ordinary armor.
"Captain! How is the situation now?"
The soldier next to him said.
The captain did not put down the lens, but said calmly: "It seems that their mental tactics were used well yesterday, and they have achieved the results they and the prince had initially estimated. Now there is basically no one on that section of the city wall! "
Having said this, he paused and said: "Put on incendiary bombs, each shot involves five rounds, and then prepare to concentrate on shooting at the city gate and blow it open for me!"
"Shooting at the city gate?"
The soldier next to him was stunned and said strangely, "Most of our artillery shells are grenades. It's okay to shoot targets on the ground, but attacking the city gate is a waste of artillery shells!"
The captain smiled slightly and said: "I thought the same thing at first, but after looking at it yesterday, I realized that opening the city gate is a good idea!"
Then he handed the lens tube to the soldier next to him and said with a smile: "Look what their city gates are made of?"
The soldier took the lens tube doubtfully, took a closer look, and immediately exclaimed, "There are still people using wood to make city gates? It's incredible!"
¡°There¡¯s nothing surprising about this!¡±
The captain surrendered his gaze to the city wall that was already on fire in the distance, and said: "Ten years ago, our Zhou Dynasty was just like them. It was undoubtedly a foolish dream to lift the iron city gate without the help of machinery! Using wood Building a city gate is undoubtedly the best choice. In fact, for them, wooden gates can effectively prevent other troops from attacking!"
The soldier returned the lens barrel to the captain and said: "But if they encounter us, then they are unlucky. Such a large-caliber artillery. It is really easy to destroy such a wooden door."
"Don't be too happy too early!"
The captain's words were a little serious, and he said: "After destroying the city gate, our mission has been completed 80%, but for them, the battle has just begun. When I was reading, some of the content was about street fighting. At the same time, This is also a war situation with the largest casualties! Inside, due to the narrow space, it is impossible to deploy our troops. If we say that in such an open land, we can surround others with a thousand and a hundred, but in the city, the streets are very crowded. Narrow, maybe only 100 of our 1,000 people will be in contact with the enemy, and the remaining 900 people will only be busy behind!"
However, the soldier next to him didn't seem to listen to what he said. Instead, he waited for him to finish and exclaimed: "Study, are you going to the National Defense Military Officer Academy in Paradise City?"
The captain turned his head and said in unison: "You know it too!"
The soldier nodded repeatedly and said: "Of course, almost everyone in the army doesn't know where it is, but I'm a little surprised. The officers who came from there can be reused, so why are you willing to be a small captain in the fleet?" , if you were in the Great Zhou Dynasty, you would have at least a thousand troops under your command now!"
The captain smiled slightly.He said: "Not thousands, but ten thousand!"
"Ten thousand!"
The soldier couldn't help but exclaimed, "Ten thousand, then you are already a general? Then why do you come to the fleet?"
The captain¡¯s goal seemed distant, and he whispered: ¡°Because, even if I am asked to be a soldier in front of Shinhwa, I am willing!¡±
The soldier was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of one thing. There was only one person in the Great Zhou Dynasty who was called a myth. His face suddenly became excited, and he said in a trembling voice: "You said!"
The captain nodded and said: "Of course you don't know that on the Dragon 5th ship. In fact, he has been commanding us in the past few months!"
The soldiers were excited, with excitement on their faces. At this time, five incendiary bombs had been fired, and all the firepower was concentrated on the city gate.
In order to make it easier to open, the city gate was made into a suspension bridge shape and also opened outwards. This reduced a lot of difficulty for shooting. With just a few cannonballs, the city gate was blown to pieces. At the same time, the affected people were also There are rebels behind the city gates.
After opening the city gate, the artillery extended its firepower to the back of the city gate in order to prevent local congestion at the door and block the attack of the king's army.
Yesterday, messages were being circulated in the city, but outside the city, the king's commander was discussing how to cooperate. According to the plan discussed yesterday, when the artillery fired incendiary bombs, the king should organize the army to pass under the city wall and start Attack the city and compete with the rebels for time. After all, once the bombardment stops, the rebels will definitely control the city wall again. So there wasn't much time left for the king and others. at the same time. The cavalry must also be organized to quickly attack the city gate and open the passage for the army behind.
And from the current point of view, the king's timing is relatively accurate. After the rebels retreated on the city wall, he immediately ordered his troops to attack the city. When they arrived at the city gate, the incendiary bombs on the city wall began to burst into flames. , and in order to ensure that the army in the backyard could successfully climb the city wall, they began to attack the city without waiting for the flames to extinguish.
And just when they started to attack the city, the wooden suspension bridge had been destroyed. A group of cavalry took advantage of the smoke to clear and quickly rushed towards the city gate. Behind them were heavily armored soldiers, and the city The door was also the first time soldiers from both sides came into contact during the siege. The rebels who were at the door just now had basically been wiped out. Except for some who were killed by artillery, most of them fell under the hooves of the cavalry and the heavy armor behind them. Under the rifle of the infantry.
At this time, the covering artillery had extended its impact point into the city. Although the number of artillery was limited, it effectively prevented the rebel reinforcements. The cavalry and heavy armored infantry who had established a foothold quickly expanded towards the outer city, and then After struggling to get closer to the city wall and firmly guarding the city gate, a steady stream of soldiers were pouring in through the city gate.
For a time, the sound of killing was loud in the city, and the screams were endless.
In a war, even if only one person is left in the end, there will be successes and losers, and this time, the losers are undoubtedly the rebels. The inexplicable explosion on the city gate at the beginning has frightened them out of their courage, and now the king's army has invaded the city. , it was undoubtedly worse for them. In most of their hearts, they now basically had the idea that they had been defeated, so many people began to rout, which immediately triggered the rout of the rebels. Relatively speaking, the king's army became more and more courageous as they fought, fighting hard and chasing after the rebels.
Human life is very small in war. The road leading from the city gate to the palace is full of corpses. Among them are rebels and the king's army, but it doesn't matter which side they belong to now. Death, let There is no longer any boundary between them, and they have all become victims of this war. Although some of them will be buried generously, and some may be dug into a big hole and buried indiscriminately, what does this mean to the dead? Their final results will be turned into nutrients for plants in the soil.
When the king's army invaded the palace, they encountered some stubborn resistance, but this resistance was also very limited. For the rebels, their situation was over now, and their final resistance was just a desperate struggle, which only increased casualties. Facing the swarming king's army, their resistance was so weak that they were cleared out in a short time.
By this time, the king and others had arrived at the palace. Under his leadership, the soldiers walked towards the palace.
When they came to the hall of the palace, the rebels, their leader, and the king's favorite concubine were sitting on his throne. In their hands, they all held a glass of wine, which was a specialty of the Shadow Sea Kingdom.
When they saw the king rushing in with his soldiers, they raised their glasses to him and drank it all without saying a word.
The wine was obviously spiked with poison, and within a short while, the two of them were permanently locked in an eye-catching situation.
Seeing the smiles on their faces, the king suddenly felt absurd. That concubine was the only wife he had ever taken back by force, but he did not expect that she was the lover of his most trusted general.
Understanding the reason for the war, the king suddenly aged more than ten years. The reason for this somewhat inexplicable war turned out to be this. For this reason, many warriors of the Shadow Sea Kingdom slept in the land they guarded.
