Chapter 1630: Heading North! Recovering Wei and Qing Prefectures

Sometimes, Qian, who was extremely good at sneaking behind enemy lines and sneaking into the city to set fires, caused chaos everywhere, and since he had taken the opportunity to open the city gates, the righteous brothers who had cooperated with the Zhijiao to attack the city were able to crash into the city, take down the city of Zhangye, and recover all the counties, towns, villages and squares under the rule of Laizhou in one fell swoop. On the Dengzhou side, Sun Li, who was familiar with the city defense deployment of the city gates and the drought gates, planned to attack the city, and then Ruan Xiaowu and other water war experts led his water squad Yongjian to attack from the water and land, conquer Penglai, and then recover the entire territory of Dengzhou.

However, under the jurisdiction of one government, fifteen states, four armies, two countries and 81 counties of Jingdong East Road, the seat of its state seat in Qingzhou Yidu City, the puppet Qi army horses that had long been planning to resist closed the city gate all day long, and still had to rely on the danger to resist the sudden attack of the rebels.

Even if the fourth prince of the Jin army was killed by Xiao Tang after completing Yan Wushu, the main force of the Jin army that invaded the Song realm was also annihilated, and the pseudo-Qi forces that had completely lost their support were already in a situation of being passively beaten...... But there is still the Jin State as a backer, and now it is said that it has also reached a strike agreement with the Song Dynasty, but Xiao Tang not only ignored the Song court's will to suspend the army, but also ordered the soldiers and horses under his command to launch a comprehensive onslaught on the military state controlled by Liu Yu in the north of Jingdong Road. Xiao Tang, the anti-thief who had turned his back on the Song court, was awarded the title of generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses because he broke the army of the Zhao royal family of the Song Dynasty after defeating Yan Hulu and taking back the second emperor, and he had been in contact with the Song army to resist the Jin for a long time, but now he openly disobeyed the will of the imperial court to armistice, how could the Song Dynasty be willing to obey the will?

It is the pseudo-Qi generals in the city, and they still plan to resist stubbornly until the situation changes again. It can be said that the soldiers and horses under the command of you Xiao Tang have been fighting for a long time, but the Qingzhou Zhizhi City, where the state administration of Jingdong East Road is located, is high and deep, and has long been wary of your gang taking advantage of the situation to attack, and if you want to take it by force, you will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, but Xiao Tang will really take it at any cost and must quickly take the city here?

However, when the soldiers and horses stationed in Dazhai in Erlongshan in Qingzhou changed from a strategic defensive position to a strategic offensive, joined forces with several strong rebel armies in the north, and then drove to the front of the capital of Qingzhou Zhizhi with great momentum, the pseudo-Qi generals who were guarding the city witnessed the gathering of the rebels outside into a dense military formation, and they couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

However, in front of and in the middle of the huge military array gathered by the siege rebels, there were nearly fifty guns of all sizes that seemed to be taller than ordinary catapults, especially the dozen or so catapults inserted in the front of the rebels, which were obviously different from the artillery tools set up by the Song army.

Just as many puppet Qi soldiers in the city had already felt a strong uneasiness in their hearts, in the front of the rebel army, the front of the Fan Yang felt hat worn by a leader was pushed up, and Lei Lingzhen squinted his eyes and looked at the city in front of him, and then turned his head to look at the huge artillery tools standing tall and towering all around, and his face couldn't help but appear with the relief and joy that he could finally see his achievements put to use after years of professional research.

When he first met Xiao Tang, Ling Zhen was greatly inspired by the development of artillery tools, and when he was slandered and dismissed from his official position by Gao Yu, who was then the third lieutenant, because of his closeness to Xiao Tang, Ling Zhen was basically confident in the production process of new artillery equipment. After many years, the new artillery with a more advanced structure and greater power will also be put into the siege war of Xiao Tang to quickly sweep and capture the military states for the first time......

And Xiao Tang probably knew that this was almost equivalent to the powerful catapult that appeared when the Yuan Dynasty invaded the Southern Song Dynasty, but it did not cross a long time trajectory, and it came out in advance at the time when the two Song Dynasty overlapped in the current official history.

The distance from the city was nearly 400 meters, and the range of the bows and crossbows used to defend the city was beyond the reach, and after Ling Zhen estimated it with the naked eye and roughly judged it accurately, he shouted loudly: "Teach the gunners of all teams to listen to my instructions to calibrate their positions, avoid the neighborhoods in the city, and concentrate on throwing boulders and earth-shaking thunder firearms to the city walls and city towers!" ”......

From a distance, I probably saw the figures of the soldiers around the various artillery tools in the siege army array, busy like ants, and faintly heard a few muffled sounds, and the defenders on the city tower and the city wall saw that more than a dozen black spots were quickly popped out, and as they crossed the sky, they suddenly enlarged when they fell down, and smashed down towards the city wall!

"Catapults? What a catapult! Straight lady thief, how can she fight as far away!? Find a place to escape! ”

There were generals on the city wall shouting in panic, but at this time, many soldiers who were climbing on the wall had already been shocked and frightened, and they immediately fell into a state of rout, until the huge boulders that were pressed down like a hill smashed into the city, and the continuous loud noise shook the heavens and the earth, and the three souls and seven spirits of the soldiers and horses who defended the city were also immediately shaken away!

The originally solid walls of Yidu City trembled, shook, and even collapsed immediately, and the originally smooth and steep walls were already full of devastation in an instant, and even large pieces of rubble and cracked soil continued to collapse and fall in the billowing smoke and dust raised by the flyer, and many soldiers were wrapped in dust and let out a heart-rending howl, and fell straight down!

Miserable cries and cries continued to sound on the city walls, and some of the soldiers who were immediately in chaos were crushed into powder by the boulders that fell from the sky, and some were caught off guard and fell from the city one after another. As huge black shadows continued to crash into the city with the terrifying sound of breaking wind, splashing debris and choking dust, the soldiers who sat on the crippled city walls in horror watched in horror as their colleagues around them were smashed into clumps of flesh and blood......

What's even worse is that those soldiers who are gray and bloody, but are lucky not to die, are either sitting paralyzed, or sighing on the crumbling city wall, and some people are shocked to hear the sound of "snorting" medicine twisting fire burning around them, and they also smell the pungent smell of gunpowder......

"Boom !!" , "Boom!! "Boom!! A loud bang sounded, and many of the defenders of the city were immediately blown into pieces of burning meat, and with a strong wave of air, countless figures were thrown into the air...... Even for the remnants of the generals who were far from the center of the explosion, at this time, the loud noise that was about to shatter people's eardrums was not an exaggerated figurative rhetoric, but a description based on facts......

And after a series of explosions that seemed to be shattering, followed by a large collapse loud sound. The city walls could not withstand such a compact and violent destruction, and in an instant, a large number of walls collapsed, and the soldiers who were originally crowded in the small space fell straight down with the smoke and dust, most of them broke their bones and died instantly, and there were also a handful of people who were buried alive with falling broken earth and broken bricks!

And in front of the rebel army, which was already ready to attack, Mr. Jin Jian, Li Zhu, witnessed the tragic and terrifying scene in front of him, and a cold smile was already on the corner of his mouth. After his nephew Li Yi stepped forward to report, Li Zhu also resolutely pulled out the portable sword he was carrying, he slashed his right arm forward, and then shouted an order: "Siege!" ”......

At the same time, the siege war was launched, and there was also the Beihai of Weizhou, which was located on the east side of Qingzhou. However, compared to Ling Zhen's side, who immediately launched a terrifying attack with new artillery equipment, the righteous generals of the rebel army who were also assembled outside the city looked at each other, and many people also showed surprise on their faces.

Because as soon as the besieging soldiers arrived in front of the city, there was a faint noise and shouting in the city, and it didn't take long for the city gate to be slowly opened. On the side of the besieging rebels, you can also see the fighting of men and horses at the gate of the city from a distance, and it is already fierce.

"The gates of the city are open, and we are still waiting for a bird, just go and fight!"

In such an unexpected situation, before the leaders of the rebel army came to their senses, the ranks on the side of the large array who seemed to be attached to the trilogy broke out with angry cheers. But seeing that Li Kui was alone, he was carrying a double axe and rushing forward, even if he threw all the thousands of troops and horses who came together, he was far behind......
