On the 22nd, taking advantage of the last quarter moon of the Lingcheng, the siege troops of the Song army quietly entered the mountains and assembled at the predetermined breakthrough, preparing to attack after the earth-shattering explosion. How could Zhao Yu be absent from such a lively matter, he set up a command post at a commanding height two miles away from the city wall, where the field of vision is wide, and the entire battlefield is in full view. At present, the enemy army lit a bonfire on the city wall, and from time to time threw torches from the city, and hung lanterns with ropes and put them in the center of the city wall to illuminate the front of the city, so that the opponent could attack the city at night, so the time of the siege was set at the beginning of the day.

"Which unit is at the front?" Zhao Yu was still not at ease, at the moment, thousands of troops and horses were hiding in front of the mountain, in case someone accidentally exposed the target, he went down to the front to inspect and found that there were still people moving a hundred steps in front of the city, and frowned and asked.

"Your Majesty, it is the sharp army of the Mountain Brigade, and they are ready to take the city immediately after the bombing." Tian Zhong replied.

"Let them withdraw at once, it's too close, bring the leader to me!" Zhao Hao scolded in a low voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Although Tian Zhong didn't know what His Majesty meant, seeing His Majesty's serious face at this moment, he immediately ordered someone to go and inform him.

"You're crazy, why are you so close? Look for death! When Zhao Hao saw that someone was being brought, he immediately reprimanded him with a slashing face.

"Your Majesty, only by leaving the city can you quickly enter the city after the city wall is blown up and reduce casualties." The person who came stalked his neck and said.

"Bullshit, there are 5,000 catties of gunpowder buried under the city, and you will be shocked to death with a sound, what kind of city are you going to!" Zhao Yu said angrily when he heard this.

"We are still a hundred steps from the city wall, where will there be something!" The person who came was still unconvinced.

"You...... How are you? Zhao Yu only realized that his voice was different at this time, and he was surprised when he took a closer look.

"Your Majesty can come to the front of the army in person, why not be humble!" Li Sanniang said angrily.

"Alas, how powerful is 5,000 catties of gunpowder that can raze the entire hill to the ground, and you will be shocked to pieces if you lie in ambush at the front line, and you will die in an instant, this is by no means alarmist!" Zhao Hao slowed down his tone.

"Ah...... So how far should we go? Li Sanniang saw that the little emperor was serious, not to scare herself, so she couldn't help but ask in surprise with some fear.

"Recently, it should not be less than two hundred steps, remember to lie on the ground to avoid being injured by flying stones, but the upper body must be arched and not attached to the ground, otherwise there is still a danger of being shocked to death!" Zhao Yu thought about it and said, and made a demonstration action.

"I understand the humble position, thank you, Your Majesty, and then inform my subordinates that the humble duty will be retired." Li Sanniang saluted, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Zhao Yu stopped him again, looked Li Sanniang up and down, took off his bulletproof vest and handed it to him.

"Your Majesty, don't you dare!" Seeing this, Li Sanniang hesitated and took a step back.

"Although this one is a bit heavy, it is better than the leather armor on your body, and ordinary arrows are difficult to penetrate!" Zhao Yu stepped forward and put it on her personally, and then raised her left arm, wanting to tie her tightly for her.

"Your Majesty, this ......" Li Sanniang saw that the little emperor was not shy about putting on armor for himself in front of everyone, she was really ashamed and ashamed. After all, although the two have a marriage contract, they have not yet married, so they can't help but stiffen their bodies and can't speak clearly, but they feel it in their hearts, which at least shows that the little emperor still cares about him very much.

"Remember, after the explosion, start the blast immediately. At that time, the enemy troops on the city walls will either be shocked to death or stunned, and the smoke and dust will rise to obscure the view of the enemy army, and you will take advantage of this opportunity to enter the city. Then do not stop and quickly rush forward, at this time do not be afraid of casualties, do not stop, strive to expand the foothold and open the way for the follow-up troops. Zhao Yu said while tying the belt for him.

"Well, I remember." The two were so close that they could smell each other's breath, which made Li Sanniang's heart beat like a deer, her breathing accelerated, her face was on fire, and she nodded in response.

"It's your first time in battle, right?" Zhao Yu fastened the last belt and tied the belt for her.

"Hmm!" The little emperor wrapped his arms around his waist, which made her feel even more embarrassed, and whispered in his ear.

"Don't be afraid, be calm. You are the head of an army, if you panic, the people under your command will be even more panicked, you must remember! Zhao Yu tied up her armed belt and saw what was wrong.

"Hmm!" Li Sanniang only hummed again, saluted the little emperor, and turned around to return to the team.

"Hmph, this little girl is really interesting." Zhao Hao watched his figure disappear into the darkest moment before dawn and muttered.

"Your Majesty, do you want to replace the mountain brigade?" Ni Liang asked softly.

"It's really a person who has married a daughter-in-law, and he is sensible. But don't have to, you don't understand! Zhao Yu patted Ni Liang's shoulder and said helplessly.

"Your Majesty, Li ...... Will Miss Li be angry? Chen Dun leaned over and asked again.

"What do you see?" Zhao Hao asked rhetorically, and he knew in his heart that this matter was really hard to say......

In the late dawn of winter, the east side of the ugly time has just turned white, the tide rises near the sea near the city, and the valley is shrouded in a layer of mist, and Lin'an City is like a fairy mansion floating in the clouds. Zhao Hao looked at the city head with a telescope, the bonfire on the city wall had been extinguished, and the enemy soldiers on patrol were lazily leaning against the female wall waiting for the changing of the guard, and everything was as calm as usual.

"Your Majesty, Ni Dutong sent a signal to prepare for blasting." Chen Dun saw that there was a red flag in front of him and waved it three times, and said to the little emperor.

"Hmm!" Zhao Yu nodded, turned his gaze to the breakthrough, and after a few breaths, he saw the red flag on the forward command post waving down violently, he knew that this was the signal of ignition, and at the same time notified the troops on the front line to protect themselves. And he didn't move, still looking ahead, he knew that in order to ensure the success of the blasting, a total of three fuses were buried in the ground, but he was still worried that if the blasting failed, so many people would be busy in vain, and the direction of the main attack would be exposed.

'Boom', Zhao Yu calculated that it would take more than a dozen breaths from igniting the fuse to igniting the explosives, but just such a little time made him feel that seconds were like years, but there was no loud noise like the sky collapsing, and he didn't see the earth and rocks flying around, and the smoke and dust were all over the sky, and what was even more disappointing was that he didn't know who had let out a sullen fart.

"Your Majesty, did you fail?" Chen Dun, who was guarding the little emperor's side, exclaimed.

"......" Zhao Yu didn't say anything, but he broke out in a cold sweat. He knew that such a large-scale blasting had never been used not only by him, but also by the whole army, and that blasting was not as simple as just stuffing explosives into it and igniting it, and the use of the amount of explosives, the selection of blasting points, the depth of the tunnel, and so on had to be carefully calculated. But he could only try to come on a blind horse.

The point of blasting was selected according to the general direction of the attack, the tunnels were dug according to the degree of difficulty, the size of the medicine room was also estimated, and the amount of gunpowder used was even a stupid method until it was filled. The main body of the city wall is made of rammed earth, and the outside is covered with bricks, and this section of the city wall is close to the imperial city, which can be imagined.

"Your Majesty be careful, ......" But before Zhao Yu could be frustrated, he shook his feet, his body shook twice, and Chen Dun hurriedly held him up.

"Collapsed!" Zhao Hao quickly stabilized his body, but he was happy in his heart, he felt a strong vibration so far away from the blasting point, so at least it means that the blasting was successful. He hurriedly picked up the binoculars and looked at the city wall, only to see that the city wall was like a piece of puff pastry that fell to the ground, first the city bricks peeled off and fell to the ground, and then the rammed earth wrapped in it collapsed to both sides, like a mudslide flow, obviously the hard rammed earth was shattered, forming a gap more than ten zhang long on both sides of the blasting point.

"Rush up!" Chen Dun shouted excitedly at this time.

"Hmm!" However, seeing that the three troops in charge of the main attack were all rushing towards the breach, and it was the mountain brigade that rushed to the front, they quickly climbed the base of the wall along the slope formed by the collapsed wall, put their hook guns on the broken stubble, and quickly climbed the wall, and then immediately rushed forward. But at this time, the 1st Brigade of the Protector Army was still taking a ladder and setting up a ladder to go up to the city, while the 5th Division and the 2nd Brigade rushed into the outer city along the gap, passed through the Imperial Horse Courtyard and the Dengwen Drum Courtyard, and blew open the main gate of Li with gunpowder to enter the imperial city.

'Boom, ......boom' The naval forces in the east and west directions also began to bombard the enemy troops on the city with ballistas, on the one hand, pinning down the enemy forces and preventing them from reinforcing the southern city; On the other hand, cover the blast ship to break through the water gate and open the waterway into the city to increase the number of troops invested.

"Let's go back!" The three directions have already started, and due to the terrain restrictions, with the advance of the attacking troops, Zhao Yu can not see anything here, he turned his face and said.

"Your Majesty, this has just begun, why do you go back? I don't know how it's going! Chen Dun saw that the little emperor said to leave, and the fight was lively at the moment, he still wanted to take another look, and said anxiously.

"40,000 fights 10,000, the city wall has broken through again, if they can't win, they can only jump the Qiantang River!" Zhao Hao smiled.

"yes, there's nothing to see!" Chen Dun, who said a few words to the little emperor, was not interested, and thought about it, the highlight of the siege battle was whether it could break through the siege, once the city wall was breached, when the attacker entered the city, the result of the battle was basically determined. So he told the guards to pack up their things and go back to their homes to await news of the victory......

Since the defense of the Yuan army focused on Luocheng, the first brigade attacking the eastern city was divided into two routes, one along the east wall of Luocheng to the north, and the other along the outer city wall, so it was easier to fight. The western outer city shared a city wall with Luocheng, so the troops deployed were concentrated, and the resistance of the mountain brigades attacking in this direction was much fiercer.

Although the Rui battalion led by Li Sanniang moved back a hundred steps, it was still at the forefront of the battlefield, and when the explosion sounded, it was also affected the most, she could clearly feel the shaking of the ground, the mountain stones rolled down, and the stones of more than ten catties were shaken up to a height of shakuhachi, and the enemy soldiers patrolling on the city wall were directly lifted off the city, but they were not killed and buried alive by the collapsed city wall. She thought that if it hadn't been for the little emperor ordering them to retreat, they might really be shocked to death on the spot, and she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

As soon as the aftermath of the explosion passed, Li Sanniang jumped up and led the army to attack, rushed through the open area at the fastest speed, and took the lead in the city by relying on the hook gun in his hand and skillful climbing skills. And the enemy soldiers above were just as the little emperor expected, they were either shocked and bled and killed on the spot, or they were still groggy and couldn't get up. At this time, of course, they would not think about capturing the prisoners, whether they were dead or alive, they would make up for a shot to avoid future troubles, and she should lead the crowd to advance first, expand the depth, and consolidate the foothold.

Li Sanniang led his troops to chase down the enemy soldiers who were frightened by the explosion, and it was not until a bend in the city wall a hundred paces away that they encountered a real battle. The city wall is two zhang wide, and although it can run horses, it can't occupy a few people side by side. She shot down several enemy soldiers with her bow and arrows, and then continued to charge with a shield in her left hand and a gun in her right hand against the enemy's rain of arrows, and when the two sides were only a few steps apart, she used her shield to block the long knife that had been split, and the spear was handed forward and pierced into its abdomen, and then without stopping to fight the enemy soldiers to the city.

The narrow walls made it difficult for the team to spread, and the two sides that collided immediately began a scuffle, this kind of battle was completely unskillful, completely face-to-face life-and-death struggle, either you die or I die. Therefore, once it started, it was extremely intense, the terrible howl of the person who was shot, the splashed blood, the sonorous sound of the impact of knives and guns, and friction all made people nervous, especially Li Sanniang, a new army who went into battle for the first time, which was completely different from the usual training, but she knew that she had no way out at the moment, and she also understood why everyone prevented her from going into battle in person.

"Hey!" The shield in her hand had long been lost, and the spear in the hand of an enemy centurion was pierced into Li Sanniang's chest, and at the same time, her spear was also handed forward and pierced in the opponent's throat. Li Sanniang was shot in the chest and stumbled, and at the same time heard a cracking sound of porcelain, but she still stabbed her opponent in the neck with a gun in one hand.

"Kill!" When Li Sanniang was shot, she felt that she was going to die this time, but she only felt a little stuffy in her chest, looked down and saw that the vest covered by the leather armor was not broken, and immediately realized that it was His Majesty who took off her back armor and saved her life. Looking at the soldiers around her, she didn't know how many times she had changed, and she roared and swept an enemy soldier down the city.

The brave wins when they meet on the narrow road, the slang soldiers have always been brave, and the big war will completely stimulate their violent spirit, there is no living mouth under their hands, under the leadership of Li Sanniang, the Yuan army that has always been good at fighting will be stopped, only the blood on the city wall is like a river, the corpses are all over the ground, and the enemy army is finally defeated. The rout retreated north along the wall on Phoenix Mountain, and they pursued all the way, capturing the south gates, Qianchao Gate and Qingbo Gate, repulsing the enemy troops who wanted reinforcements from the horse road, and driving them north.

At the same time, the navy successively blew open the east and west water gates, and the warships rushed into the waterways in the city, seized the bridge, and divided the enemy into several divisions. The officers and men of the 1st Brigade steadily advanced by means of repeated fire, routed the enemy troops on the city wall, and successively captured the Jiahui Gate, the Houchao Gate and the Security Gate. The Fifth Division quickly passed through the Imperial City, entered Luocheng, and attacked northward along the Royal Street......
