Chapter 333: Breaking the City and Breaking the City (3)

The Yue people in the city finally stopped listening to the sound of thunder and white clouds blooming, and their hearts showed their heads on the city wall with palpitations.

For two days, the Yue people in the city had no choice but to watch these people outside the city digging tunnels like rats and approaching the city wall, and there was nothing they could do.

Even if there was no artillery suppression under the city, it would be difficult for the Yue people defending the city to inflict casualties on the people under the city.

Excavated from a distance of 200 paces, the entire tunnel is in a zigzag shape, covered with wicker baskets and wood, which just blocks the view of the city wall.

If you throw it, the devil knows how many of the more than 100 arrows will fall into the tunnel. Falling into it, there is only a smaller chance of shooting someone.

Near the moat, a gap finally appeared facing the city wall, no longer a zigzag zigzag.

If there are strong archers, they can be suppressed by shooting at the exit, but the cannons under the city are constantly bombarding, and the muskets cover from both flanks, so they can't show their heads at all.

I could only watch the people under the city fill in the ditch, and after crossing the ditch, several people covered the digging with shields, and they had no way to start, so they could only watch the city continue to approach the city wall.

If the Yue people send their own people out of the city, they are worried that the casualties will not return, and there will be changes in the city.

Sending Tengdi farmers out of the city, they were afraid that they would turn against the water, so they could only watch those tunnels continue to expand.

Yesterday, the city shouted loudly, saying that when the indigo flag was raised, only Teng people were kept away from the city gate.

The Yue people had already seen those strange weapons, and they had heard the roaring thunder when they had hunted and killed Teng Shuyu and others before, and they were suspicious in their hearts.

And those people of Tengdi believed the words of the ink man very much, and when they saw the indigo banner under the city rising, they knew that the city wall near the city gate would soon be struck by lightning and collapsed, and they dared to stay.

The flag outside shook again, and outside the city shouted, "Near the city gate is death." If you oppose the Vietnamese or flee, the interest can live. As soon as the city gate is broken, the ink man enters the city in an instant, so there is no need to worry about the Yue people killing! ”

shouted a few times in a row, and the Yue officials near the city wall saw that the peasants and soldiers were restless, and their hearts were also panicked.

If the order is given to suppress the bomb, I am afraid that these peasants and soldiers will rebel immediately.

He was also worried that the Mo family could really blast open the city gate directly, so that he would die at the head of the city. But I feel that these people in the city are either using deception, in order to make the city gate chaotic and break down.

The people of Tengdi didn't think much about it, and fled by the road, only shouting: "You will die near the city gate, the Mo family will enter the city immediately, and you can live if you escape!" ”

A few men took the lead, jumping off the city, throwing their weapons and fleeing.

Some people take the lead, and the rest of the people are not willing to defend the city at all, even if the Yue people will be defeated, why should they embarrass these ink people who want to let everyone live a good life?

In an instant, most of the Teng people near the city had fled, and only some timid or sandwiched among the Yue people did not dare to flee, with desperate faces.

The Yue people also shot a few fugitives, but to no avail.

Under the city, the place where the gunpowder coffin was buried has been sealed.

Near the sortie point of the trench, two companies of spearmen stood in four columns, hiding in zigzag-shaped tunnels.

The whole tunnel is like this, and the point on the head is the attack port, which can be quickly rushed out of the attack port in four columns.

At this time, these three hundred people were crouching in the tunnel, blocking their ears as ordered.

After watching the movement at the head of the city, he estimated that the time was almost over, and called for the drums to be beaten, and the fire was ordered.

Moments later, the two men quickly returned from the tunnel beneath the walls, and the cannon let out a final roar.

When the sound of the cannon stopped, a loud noise as if the sky was falling came from under the city gate, the ground was shaking, the solid wooden city gate was shattered in an instant, and a small section of the city wall collapsed, and there were no living people near the city gate, and the rest were all half-dead from the earthquake.

The boom was like the sound of a drum, and the spearmen who were still shaking their ears quickly got up, and under the leadership of the ink leader in front, they quickly rushed out of the attack port in a formation of four columns, and rushed towards the gap in the city wall filled with smoke and dust.

The musketeers on both sides of the gap are also shooting upwards to suppress the Yue people on the walls on both sides, but in fact, it is just a formality.

Where have the Yue people near the city gate seen this scene like the punishment of the gods, the huge wooden gate and the earth are scattered and splashed, which is definitely not human.

Those who were close were shocked, and those who were far away did not dare to move forward, and some people had already jumped off the city wall and fled towards the inner city.

Shi stood two hundred steps away, watched the spearmen of the two companies climb the collapsed city wall, and said with a smile to Ji Te and Teng Shuyu, who were already scared silly, "The two of you can enter the city now!" The more people are defeated! ”

Where had Ji Te and Teng Shuyu seen so much gunpowder ignited at the same time, they were trembling with fright, even if they had any other ideas, they had already been frightened by this explosion.

He turned around and ordered the drums to beat slowly, but only occupied the gap in the wall, but did not continue to pursue the city.

Everyone carried out the order, and the brigade commander knew that it was appropriate to force the Yue people.

After all, Tengdi still has to belong to the Mo family, whether it is suitable to fight in the city, there are many dead and injured in the mess, and now every household registration is very important.

Moreover, if the Yue people retreat to the inner city, the palace treasury will be destroyed, and the loss will be too great.

This time the city wall was blown up, just to let the Yue people understand one thing: it is impossible to defend the inner city, so flee quickly! There are rivers on the north and south sides, and the bridge was burned by yourselves before the siege, so if you want to escape to Langya, the best way to escape is to open the gate on the northeast side and escape from there.

About two quarters of an hour later, four companies of soldiers had already climbed the wall, and some musketeers lined up on the wall, guarding the broken gap in the gate.

At this time, the follow-up foot soldiers were already able to enter the city, but there was chaos in the city, and Shi didn't want to fight in the city at all.

The follow-up troops no longer needed to take the tunnels, and lined up outside the city, and reserved two companies of non-commissioned men near the city wall to be ready to support at any time.

The digging farmers who followed behind looked at the ruined city wall and the Mo family banner flying high on the city gate, and their hearts were overjoyed.

Everyone thought: "How can you say that Teng is also the capital of the princes, and they all say that the Mo family is good at defending the city, but this siege is also so fast." If one person does not die, he will ascend to the city in an instant! ”

After thinking about it again, the people of the Mo family have done such a feat as breaking the Chu array and capturing the king of Chu in Shangqiu, this kind of thing that must be miraculous when looking at the world at this time is ordinary in the eyes of the people of Pei County, but it will be strange if there are heavy casualties.

It is said that the Mo family is good at defending the city, but the world has forgotten one thing: if you are good at defending the city, you must be good at attacking the city, because to defend the city, you must first learn to attack the city, and then crack the means of attacking the city one by one.

Coupled with the application of siege methods that were ahead of the times and maximized the effect of gunpowder, it was really easy to break through the small Teng City.

This siege method can be broken by digging a pit within a week even in the face of a fortress with artillery deployed, and the Yue people cannot effectively deal with even the most basic twelve siege methods at this time.

In fact, it is clear that these tunnels are very poorly dug, and if gunpowder is popularized in the world in the future, such simple tunnels can easily be blocked by the artillery at the head of the city.

But since the Yue people don't have it, they don't need to be so rigid, just as the city defense of Niu Langyi is not a formal fortress at all - because it is not needed, so those unreasonable become reasonable.

Seeing that the gap had been secured, he ordered the soldiers under the city to line up to guard against the possible death struggle of the Yue people.

He also ordered the artillery to put on their horses and retreat under the protection of the infantry company, and if the Vietnamese were to defend the inner city or choose to fight in the streets and alleys, it was inevitable to bombard the streets and alleys with artillery to minimize their own casualties.

He is just just in case, a Yue people are panicked at this time, the people of Teng are in a hurry, and the streets and alleys can't fight at all; Second, as long as the general of the Yue people is not stupid, he will know that abandoning the city and fleeing at this time is the best choice.

Therefore, it is not in a hurry, only let the soldiers at the head of the city defend solidly, wait in formation, and give the Yue people enough time to flee.

He was not in a hurry, but the Yue people in the city had already begun to be impatient.

The Yue people and nobles heard the loud noise just now, and it didn't take long for the Yue people on the street to report that the Mo family had opened the city gate and the city gate had been lost!

At this time, it is difficult for the organizational force to fight in the streets and alleys, and the city wall is generally the commanding height and symbol of the city, once the city wall is breached, it is equivalent to breaking the city.

The soldier who returned the report was even more evil, only saying that it was like a thunderbolt that directly collapsed the city gate...... He also said that he saw the timber of the city gate flying up three or five feet high, and it was artificially powdered......

There was no need to lie, the owl could hear it in the inner city, but he couldn't believe that the ink man could break the city so quickly.

In fact, yesterday he had no hope of defending the city.

The formation under the city was neat, and he had only seen such foot soldiers in the elite gentleman's army beside King Yue, so he knew that with these people in his hands, he couldn't hold Tengcheng at all.

When he went out of the city to fight, he didn't dare to think that he had heard of the reputation of the ink man, and he often fought back when defending the city, so how could he not be guarded?

So yesterday he was already thinking about withdrawing, but he didn't expect that the Mo family said yesterday that the city would really break through the city wall today, which was really unexpected.

The bridges on the north and south sides of the river had been burned by him before the siege the day before, but the Mo family only attacked on one side, and there was no one in the northeast corner, and the direction he originally wanted to break through was also the northeast corner.

Fleeing to Ni Ziguo through the northeast of Tengcheng, the more powerful the people were, the Marquis of Qi surrendered, and the princes of Surabaya did not dare to resist. When the time comes, as long as you flee there, you can enter the city, and you can also ask for food and grass, and you are not afraid that Ni Guo will not provide it.

The two countries were only a few dozen miles apart, and it seemed that the Mo family was only trying to break through Tengcheng, so they chose to attack on one side.

The eagle originally wanted to see the Mo family's means of attacking the city, if he could survive for a few days and escape, he would always explain to King Yue. The Yue people are brutal, the father, son and brother are still brutally killed, and the nobles and vassals have lost their fiefdoms, and they have no foundation, so they can't run for a day, and it is an explanation to keep them for a few days.

But I didn't expect the Mo family to say that today's breaking of the city is today's breaking of the city, and it is all the ink who is trustworthy, but did he think that such a thing can also be trustworthy? Is it as simple as eating and drinking water to break the city?

It can't be defended, and the inner city doesn't need to be thought, and it's not as strong as the outer city at all. The Mo family's righteous master broke the outer city and shook the earth, which also declared that the inner city could not be defended.

Fortunately...... The Ink Artist seemed to be quite pedantic, and did not immediately storm the city, but chose to slowly line up at the head of the city.

In the eagle's opinion, it seems to have given him an opportunity.
