Novel reading first release
Now the periphery of Kyoto has been cleared by the Raptor Division. The Bingma Division and the Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion have been destroyed and surrendered. The Kyoto Guard has no combat power at all. In the entire Kyoto, only this imperial city remains impregnable, preserving the last bit of dignity of the dynasty. .
When Ding Ye brought his grandfather Ding Tianning, father Ding Rushan, second uncle Ding Ruhai and uncle Long Peng to the imperial city, they were still a little uneasy.
After all, one moment he was a prisoner and the next moment he became a rebel. This huge gap was a bit too exciting. Even though the four of them have been through countless storms, they couldn't accept it for a while.
But when they saw the neatly organized Raptor Division under the imperial city, their expressions changed slightly.
"Ding Ye, I heard that your Raptor Division is very strong, but I didn't expect" Ding Rushan is a veteran who has been training for many years. As soon as he saw the appearance of the Raptor Division, he knew that this unit must be extremely powerful.
Ding Tianning also showed a hint of relief and said: "No matter what the result is this time, our Ding family has finally lived up to our ancestors!"
Ding Ye smiled lightly and said: "Grandpa, you can rest assured. I will definitely be able to break through the imperial city and capture Ming Zhenghong!"
Ding Tianning was about to say something when someone came on horseback. It was obvious that there was an urgent military situation.
"Sir, five thousand people from the front of the Royal Forest Army came out of the city, and were strangled by the Assault Battalion in cooperation with the Panshi Battalion and the Forward Battalion, and the entire army was destroyed. However, the remaining Royal Forest Army in the city closed the city gate tightly and refused to leave. Please tell me how to attack next! "This is Cao Pu. When Ding Ye was away, he was the commander-in-chief of the entire army. But the real decision still requires Ding Ye to nod.
"Where is the broken camp?" Ding Ye asked.
The imperial city in front of us stands as majestic as a mountain, and its defense is the best in the world. All kinds of bows, arrows, ash bottles, rolling wood and rocks are all available. If you want to attack, even the Raptor Division will have to pay huge casualties.
And if you want to besiege the city, it is even more unfeasible. The food stored in the imperial city is enough to feed the imperial army for three to five years. What's more, after ten days and a half, when the provinces heard the news and sent troops to rescue, all the previous efforts would have been wasted!
There is only one way before Ding Ye. That is a strong attack. And he asked about breaking the camp as soon as he opened his mouth, obviously giving the heavy responsibility of siege to this army that had not made any achievements after entering the city!
The four members of the Ding family did not know what Ding Ye was thinking. Ding Tianning said anxiously: "Ding Ye, you don't know the situation in the imperial city. Although the city wall is made of stone, it is actually stronger than steel. If we attack by force, the losses will be huge. !¡±
Ding Rushan also said: "You can surround us temporarily and slowly find a way to break through!"
Ding Ye looked at Long Peng with a smile and said, "Uncle, you have been in the Royal Forest Army for many years. You must know where the walls in the imperial city are weakest, right?"
Long Peng nodded and said: "I do know a few weak links, but you don't have the equipment to attack the city now. If you attack by force, there will be huge casualties!"
"You must not be brave!" Ding Rushan also said, "This is a critical moment of life and death. If you fall short, everything you have done before will be in vain!"
Before Ding Ye could answer, a muffled "rumbling" sound suddenly came from the distance. Like the muffled thunder before the storm!
"What's the sound?" Ding Rushan looked up in shock, but saw no sign of rain.
Ding Tianning looked into the distance and saw several huge black figures approaching. The rumbling sound was clearly caused by the advance of these huge black figures!
"What is that?" several people asked in surprise.
"That's a siege vehicle." Ding Ye said, "Uncle, please command the siege vehicle. Let them attack the weakest part of the imperial city. Let's blow up the wall!"
The broken camp started assembling it on the spot after entering the imperial city. The iron blocks and wood they brought with them looked simple, but once they were put together, they turned into powerful machines.
Now there are three siege engines slowly coming over, one has a huge battering ram, and the other is a terrifying large trebuchet. There is also a ladder truck that towers into the sky. The three machines are more than ten feet tall, and they were built piece by piece by the soldiers who broke the camp!
Only the Qi family in Qixian County can do this kind of ingenuity!
What is even more eye-catching is the hundred wooden men behind the siege vehicle. These wooden men are covered in iron armor. Although they walk very awkwardly, they are invulnerable and are more suitable for brutal siege battles than any master.
With huge siege vehicles and wooden men who are not afraid of death, no matter how tall the imperial city is, it seems that it is only a matter of time before it is breached!
The imperial guards on the city wall looked at the rebels below the city with ridicule, believing that these people could not break the city. But when they saw the huge siege vehicle in the distance, they were all dumbfounded.
Several generals looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what those behemoths were. One of them said, "Then what exactly is that? Do you recognize it?"
Others shook their heads, how could they recognize such a thing. It is taller than the city wall, and looks like a huge monster. It seems that it can swallow a thousand people with one mouth!
And the next scene seems to verify this. A group of houses on the corner of the street suddenly made a loud noise, and collapsed one after another.
But it was the soldiers from the broken camp who were opening roads to allow these huge siege vehicles to pass. In the eyes of the defenders, this scene looked like a siege vehicle was rolling over them. It was really terrifying!
"Quickquickly report to Your Majesty!" A general said dryly. No matter how courageous he was, seeing such an indestructible and huge machine would give rise to a trace of unmatched cowardice.
His lieutenant was stunned for a moment and hurriedly ran down the city. The dozens of steps usually felt very short, but today they felt very long. As he ran, he was thinking: Those siege vehicles are too big, how on earth are they going to cope
Just as he was thinking about it, the deputy general stopped suddenly. A strange sound sounded in his ears, as if the air above his head was being squeezed, making a loud "buzzing" sound.
And at his feet, a large black shadow suddenly appeared. As the buzzing sound got closer and closer, the black shadow became larger and larger.
"What is that?" The deputy general raised his head in horror and saw a huge stone falling from the sky!
This huge stone is almost like a house. With unparalleled terrifying power, it draws an extremely weird parabola passing over the deputy general's head, and then hits a side hall not far from the city wall.
"Boom!"
The side hall made a terrible cracking sound and shattered into pieces!
Countless sawdust and rocks flew out. Several stones almost hit the lieutenant on the head. He squatted down holding his head, his legs were so weak that he couldn't even stand up.
He didn¡¯t understand what kind of power it was if such a big rock flew towards him. I'm afraid even a strong person in the virtual realm wouldn't dare to fight head-on, right?
¡°If a few more similar boulders are blasted down, it won¡¯t matter whether the city wall is broken or not, because everyone in the imperial city will be smashed into a pulp!
Just when the lieutenant was terrified. Several pitchers on the catapult shook their heads in disappointment.
"Oh, missed! Come again, come again, come again!" They shouted loudly.
The soldiers under the trebuchet immediately hoisted another huge boulder.
And the Imperial Guardsmen who witnessed the trebuchet strike on the city wall were all stunned. They were all thinking that if the stone hit the city wall directly, any defense would be reduced to rubbish!
Not only the trebuchet, the other two siege vehicles are also constantly advancing, especially the battering ram vehicle. The city wall in front of the huge battering ram is like a layer of tissue paper. No one thought that the towering city wall would be the enemy of this battering ram, and some of the Imperial Guards already showed expressions of despair.
I saw these three siege engines. Ding Tianning and the others finally understood where Ding Ye's confidence came from. They looked at the third generation of the Ding family in surprise, and felt a fearful feeling in their hearts.
"Huhhuh"
One boulder after another roared past in the sky, and every attack made the guardsmen think that the end was coming.
Fortunately, the distance of the trebuchet was relatively far, and the crosshair calibration was not suitable. These boulders may have hit the buildings in the imperial city. Or it might simply fall outside the city and not really hit the city wall.
But the more this happened, the more frightened the Imperial Guard became. Especially when they saw that every boulder was closer to the city wall, they felt that the end was approaching.
Another incident happened that made them temporarily forget about the threat of the trebuchet, because a more terrifying and direct threat had already arrived.
The ram truck and the ladder truck finally arrived at the bottom of the city, after blocking a hail of arrows. The ladder driver's ladder slammed against the city wall, and then a group of wooden men crazily climbed up the ladder and attacked the city.
"Fire the arrow!" A general shouted loudly, and at the same time asked someone to push the ladder down.
But this ladder is too heavy, even if dozens of soldiers use their strength together, they can't push it even an inch. But those wooden men were not afraid of swords and arrows at all. Even if they were covered with arrows, they still rushed straight to the city head without slowing down.
The attack by the ladder truck is just a small trick. The real threat to the imperial city is the collision.Cart, this terrifying monster is ready, just waiting for an order to bombard the city gate head-on.
Countless rockets were shot down on the city wall for free. Unfortunately, the Raptor Division was well prepared, and the rammer was well protected by huge shields.
"Shoot, shoot as hard as you can!" The imperial guard general on the city wall turned pale. He seemed to have seen the terrible ending of the city being destroyed and people dying.
At this moment, the battering ram truck moved!
"Bang" There was a loud noise, and the thick city gate made of fine steel suddenly deformed! In front of the huge ram car, not to mention a door, even a mountain can be bulldozed!
The first blow was not enough, the second blow followed, there was another loud noise, and a huge gap opened in the city gate.
The front end of the ram car is also a little deformed, but no one will begrudge it at this moment. The third collision followed, and with a huge roar, the city gate flew out together with the dozens of imperial guards behind it who were struggling to withstand it!
A passage was finally opened in the Imperial City, and the soldiers of the Raptor Division had already prepared. At this moment, he let out a cry and launched the most violent charge towards the imperial city!
