Chapter 907: Seizure of the Throne (12)
The guards and soldiers of the Iron Harrier Army who attacked the city gate cheered loudly, and the wreckage of the city gate was quickly moved aside, and the deputy commander of the Iron Harrier Army, who was fully armored, let out a muffled roar that jumped out of his chest, waved the spear in his hand and pointed forward, and the hundred Iron Harrier heavy cavalry under his command galloped side by side, and went straight to the open city gate.
Behind them, the guards also quickly followed, they did not worry about their own safety, the defenders at the head of the city had no time to take care of them, and there were iron harriers in front of them to open the way, everyone knew that the iron harriers would destroy everything that was blocked wherever they went, even if the defenders came out of the black hole in the city gate, they could not stop the crushing of the steel torrent.
The defenders on the gatehouse began to concentrate their efforts on the approaching Iron Harriers, and in the darkness you could see the clanging sound of arrows of steel on heavy armor, accompanied by dazzling sparks. It's like hitting an elephant with a thumb-sized rock, and the damage is not worth mentioning.
The Iron Harrier cavalry rushed forward with an indomitable momentum, and the heavy cavalry started slowly, but once they charged, they would get faster and faster, and the surging momentum alone was enough to scare the opponents.
The people in the city and the city seemed to be a little dazed, and even Su Jin watched the heavy cavalry break into the city gate without any reaction, and the figures of the ten horsemen in front of them had just disappeared into the door of the black hole, and they heard the sound of clanging and rumbling, and the mournful roar of the war horses and the muffled hum of the soldiers in the masks came from the darkness; Before everyone could understand what was going on, the cavalry behind them had already chased after them, ten horsemen and ten horsemen, and the domino-like continuous collapse spread all the way to the outside of the city gate.
The heavy cavalry started slowly, and it was not easy to stop when they were fast, and a series of collisions made the hundred iron harriers roll to the ground like a gourd; The last few cavalrymen were also clever, and their riding skills were also good, and they were not surprised to slow down their horses early, but the huge inertia still threw them out of their horses, and let out a long cry like a cloud, and smashed the cow dung cake on the city wall by the city gate, although they were protected by heavy helmets, they also fell full of blood, and their bones were broken and their spleen was cracked.
"What's going on? Hit the devil? Seeing this, he screamed in shock.
"Qi Qi Prime Minister, the city gate hole was sealed, and the Iron Harrier Army hit the wall directly."
"How is it possible, in just one hour, how can they seal the city gates? No way, where did they get the manpower. ”
"This ...... I don't know very well, but the guards came to report that the city gate was indeed sealed, and the black Gu Longdong inside couldn't see clearly. ”
"I'm angry, attacking the city, attacking the city, the city gate can't enter, so we continue to attack the city wall, we have ten times more men than them, can't we attack it, isn't it a bunch of waste."
"Yes, but ...... The damage is not small, whether you want to rest or not, the city is full of fires. ”
"Rest? 10,000 people fight 1,000 people, and you still have the face to say rest? They'll set fire, won't? What about archers? Shoot them with rockets, burn them if you can't attack them, bastards, a bunch of waste that eats white food. "I didn't hide it, I lost my temper and scolded.
The situation is urgent, the sooner he occupies the palace, the sooner he will take the initiative, not that he is eager to save anyone, on the contrary, when he learned that there was a change in the palace, his first thought was not to save the emperor and his sister, but to hope that they would be killed, because in that case, after capturing the palace, he would have a lot to do, if the situation allowed, he would never refuse to be the emperor, if the situation did not allow, he could find a baby to pretend to be Li Liangzuo, then he would be the emperor, and it was no different from being the emperor.
But everything is based on capturing the palace and controlling the situation in the capital by the mother and son of Queen Yeli, if the other party also has foreign aid, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be; He can only mobilize these 10,000 people in Beijing, and the remaining 10,000 people don't buy their own accounts at all, all of which are variables.
On the upper floor of the city gate, the fine mother looked at Su Jin with a blank eye, and asked in confusion: "What did Lord Su use to block the city gate?" How can even the Iron Harrier Army be dizzy? I didn't see you ordering the city gates to be moved. ”
Su Jin laughed and said, "Why do you need to carry soil and rocks? Didn't you just dump seven or eight whirlwind cannons in your ordnance? It is not necessarily the pits and walls that are used to block the cavalry, and the spear is the best thing to block the killing, but the impact of the Iron Harrier Army is too huge, and the ordinary wooden spear is afraid that it will not work, so I ordered my brothers to remove the iron mast of the whirlwind cannon, fix it to the ground with the giant horse in the armory, insert the tail into the masonry, and slant towards the doorway; The Iron Harrier Army rushed in, naturally the iron rod touched the iron helmet, who do you guess will win? ”
The fine mother was stunned and said, "This, how can it be fixed?" Isn't it scattered under the impact? ”
Su Jin frowned and said, "It's hard for me to explain to you, do you understand the stability of the triangle?" ”
"What triangle...... What the hell. The fine mother scratched her head.
Su Jin also scratched his head and said: "This, I don't have time to explain to you, you are so curious, it is better for you to take a look yourself, in short, rejecting the horse is to use this principle, why can a wooden wooden frame make the cavalry seven meat and eight elements?" That's because the rejection horse is a triangular stable structure, and the ground is fixed with wooden stakes, even if you have the impact of a thousand pounds, the rejection horse can still remain as it is, understand? ”
The name of the fine mother was even more like falling into the clouds, and Su Jin didn't have time to explain too much to him.
In fact, Su Jin had no choice, the best way to prevent the city gate from being breached was to completely block the city gate hole with mud and stones, but he didn't have the time or the manpower to arrange it; Originally, he wanted to use these seven or eight iron rods against the city gate, but found that this still could not stop the rushing car from smashing the city gate into pieces, so he had the idea of giving it a try, and used the dozens of giant repulsor horses found in the armory, and firmly tied the iron rods on the slope of the rejecting horse, and the tail was against the gap in the masonry, hoping to block the cavalry impact.
Su Jin also thought that once the other party was an infantry charge, these guys would be useless, so he piled up a large number of tables, chairs, cabinets, cabinets and cabinets found in the palace behind the rejection of the horse, and no matter whether it was Nanmu fragrant wood or other valuable wood, it would be used as a fire to block the enemy's attack.
When the heavy cavalry took the lead in charging, Su Jin naturally would not order the ignition, which was what he wanted to see the most, if it was an infantry attack, the fire could be blocked for a while, but it would never be possible to block the infantry's attack, on the contrary, if there was no rejection of the horse in front, it was unrealistic to rely on the fire alone to block the impact of the heavy cavalry, and the other party could completely rely on the power of the impact to disperse the fire, and pay limited casualties to open the city gate passage.
The current situation is what Su Jin is most willing to see, the heavy cavalry is blocked at the entrance of the city gate, and the heavily armored horses can't get up once they fall, plus the damage caused by the impact, the more than 100 cavalry have seventy or eighty people who can't get up, and it has become a natural barrier at the city gate.
"Master Su, they shot rockets, this is to learn from us, they want to burn us."
Su Jin laughed and said: "On the same battlefield, the first one who attacks with fire is a genius, and then he uses a stupid material, this is really not a good thing, entering and leaving the palace every day, don't you know that the front of the imperial city is empty inside and outside?" What to burn? Burnt mud? Hahaha. ”
The fine mother Weiming laughed with him, he really admired this Han official, he originally thought that Su Jin was a private favorite of Queen Yeli, but he was a little jealous, when he understood that Su Jin was for Princess Ahri to help the queen, the jealousy disappeared, and was replaced by contempt, until he saw that he was talking and laughing under the enemy, and he was not panicked in front of the enemy who was ten times his own, which was really a little admired.
The opponent's rockets were overwhelming, the defenders hid behind the battlements to dodge, the arrows pierced the night sky and fell in the open space outside the city, burning for a short time before extinguishing themselves, the palace naturally could not shoot, because the distance was too far, but because of the dense rain of arrows lit up a few rows of green trees, like torches, burning crackling.
Outside, they thought that the palace was on fire, and they were immediately excited, and under the order, the rockets shot more fiercely.
Su Jin shrank at the back of the city gate tower, waiting for another attack after the rocket stopped, and suddenly he saw two figures on the side of the main hall moving quickly towards the city wall, and someone was anxiously chasing behind.
The two of them ran to the city tower in the rain of arrows, and Su Jin saw clearly that one was Yeli Duanyun and the other was Li Ahri, who had not been seen for many days.
"Hurry up and pick it up." Su Jin shouted.
Wang Chao lifted a big shield and rushed out quickly, rushed down in three steps and two steps to protect the two, and used his blade to block the arrows, pulling the two up to the city tower, Su Jin frowned and said: "It's so dangerous, what are you doing here?" ”
Li Ahri plunged into Su Jin's arms and said, "I want to die with you." ”
Su Jin cried and laughed: "What are you dying? Isn't that good? ”
Li Ahri said: "The queen mother said that the palace can't be guarded, and we are all going to die here, so I came with my cousin to die with you." ”
Su Jin smiled and said: "How can you die, don't say stupid things, it's time for you to come, you look at the meteor shower in the sky, it's rare to see it." ”
Yeli Duanyun said: "Where did the meteor shower come from?" ”
Su Jin pointed to the sky and said, "Isn't it?" In order to celebrate the reunion of Ahri and I, I carefully prepared this meteor shower, you see, is it beautiful? ”
Ahri and Yeli Duanyun were stunned, they were scared to death when they came, the rockets in the sky were roaring, they only felt terrifying, where did they feel like something, at this time, Su Jinyi said, looked up carefully, and sure enough, the sky was full of arrows like meteors, and it was extremely bright.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and Su Jin hugged them in his arms one by one, forgetting that he was in danger, and leaned on the railing to appreciate them with taste.
