"Boom, boom, boom......"
The sound of artillery fire rang out as the sun hung over the treetops. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Facing the most important city in Wei, Ye Qingyun launched an attack when he commanded the army to besiege it on three sides.
He didn't need to say anything to the King of Wei, and he didn't need to persuade him to surrender, because for the King of Wei and the wealthy families in Jinling City, this war was a battle to the death.
"Fire!"
With Ye Qingyun's order, solid cannonballs and lime shells fell on the city gate and city wall respectively, and suddenly a wail sounded at the head of the city.
Jinling City is a place of wealth and happiness, and the soldiers in the city never know what war is. When solid shells knocked their artillery into the air, when their companions were directly smashed heads, arms and legs by shells, when blood flowed on the walls, they began to fall into fear.
Ye Qingyun calmly watched the battle situation, wanting the soldiers to believe that he had to deceive himself first, and now he was holding the mentality of fighting against the water.
So before entering the city, he decided to continue bombarding the walls and gates.
"Hit the walls on both sides of the gates!" Ye Qingyun shouted at the artillery.
Learning the lesson of the siege, Ye Qingyun did not plan to enter directly through the city gate this time, because the narrow city gate would cause too many losses to the troops in the early stage, and now he could not afford such losses.
So he was ready to blast through the walls, a few more places to break into.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The twelve-pounder siege artillery continued to bombard the city gates, and some of the artillery was used to deal with the Wei artillery on the city.
Jinling City learned that his artillery was constantly deflected by the long-range Dengzhou artillery, and the King of Wei couldn't help but jump like thunder. "Xiao Ming, wait for the shaft to harm me!"
Just as he was scolding, suddenly there was a loud sound of collapse, and I saw that the wall of the south gate completely collapsed in the middle under the continuous bombardment of artillery.
Seeing this, King Wei's face turned from white to black, and among Xiao Wenxuan's contemporaries, he was the only one who had never been to the battlefield, and he was also at a loss at this time.
But he at least understood that the city gate was broken and Jinling City was about to be lost, and he didn't believe that he could defeat the Dengzhou army now.
"Boom." Soon the other side of the south gate also collapsed.
"Soldiers, rush!" At this time, Ye Qingyun was the first to rush over with a long sword in his hand, and the soldiers with flintlock pistols followed closely behind, rushing towards Jinling City from the gap in the city gate and city wall like a vicious tiger descending from the mountain.
The Wei soldiers in the city seemed to wake up from their sleep, and then they saw the green torrent rushing into the city, and they were all greeted by soldiers with spears, and before he could make any shouts, he felt a chill in his chest, and then he watched his blood gush out of his chest, and before he died, extreme fear made him let out a final scream.
After the soldiers of the Dengzhou army entered the city, they were like tigers entering the flock, long-range shooting, short-range bayonets, and the coordination between the long and short was very skillful, and the Wei troops who came to prevent them from entering the city were generally broken up after only a few rounds of shooting and bayonet charge.
The chaos in the southern city quickly spread in Jinling City, the whole city was filled with the smell of death, the King of Wei gathered his soldiers under the escort of his personal guards, everything in front of him was beyond his imagination, he looked at the elite of the Wei army that was constantly routing. His body was three points colder than the sword of the cold winter, and a voice was telling him that it was all over, and the Dengzhou army passed like slaughtering cattle and sheep, leaving only cold corpses everywhere he went, and although he attacked hoarsely, the frightened soldiers did not resist at all, and were quickly disintegrated.
"Your Highness, let's go, if you don't leave, it's too late! Both the east and west gates were broken through by the Dengzhou army, and our walls simply could not withstand the artillery bombardment. ”
A group of officials prayed behind the King of Wei, they had thought that numbers were superiority, but they were wrong, and now they fully understood that firearms were superiority.
How sad it is that the soldiers of the Wei army were shot and killed without even touching the Dengzhou army.
In the face of this kind of combat method that they had never encountered, the soldiers collapsed very quickly, and many soldiers already criticized King Wei in their hearts, and the soldiers fled faster.
"Yes, Your Highness, the green mountains left are here, and you are not afraid of running out of firewood." Officials discouraged.
King Wei shook his head at this time, and he said: "You guys go, this king can't go, Xiao Ming won, this king is defeated." ”
He knew in his heart that all his descendants were gone, and even if he fled to other states, he would only look at the faces of other wealthy families.
At this time, many officials could no longer take care of King Wei, the general trend had gone, the trees were scattered, and for officials and generals, they were just changing masters, and there was no need to be buried with King Wei.
According to the plan, Ye Qingyun led the musket team to seize the gate of Jinling City, and after defeating the army of King Wei, Ye Qingyun felt a sigh of emotion in his heart, although he had understood the power of firearms, but he did not expect that this weapon could produce huge destructive power in the war.
The soldiers of the Wei king's army guarding the city gate were 6,000 people, but the musket team eliminated all these Wei king's army soldiers in a few rounds of fire, and not even a single soldier of the Wei king's army advanced within ten meters of the musket team.
After seizing the gate of Jinling City, Ye Qingyun lit the fireworks as agreed, and the function of this fireworks was very simple, that is, to inform Yue Yun that he had captured the city, and at the same time let the soldiers of the east and west city gates attack at the same time.
"Boom!" The fuse burned to the end, and then a bright thing rose into the sky, exploding a colorful circular pattern in the sky, which was extremely gorgeous.
Yue Yun's battleship actually didn't go far, he smiled when he saw the fireworks in Jinling City, he knew that Ye Qingyun had succeeded.
From morning to afternoon, progress has now finally been made.
After capturing the city gate, Ye Qingyun did not stop, he wanted to continue to expand the results of the battle, so he shouted: "Soldiers, the time has come to harvest the enemy's head, rush!" ”
"Kill!" The soldiers are high-spirited, and now they have won the city in a desperate battle, and now they don't want to run away with the high bounty when they see entering the city, especially the wealthy and powerful people in the city.
The rumbling footsteps knocked one after another, and when they heard this sound, the soldiers of King Wei completely lost the will to fight, and fled one after another, more often putting down their weapons and surrendering to the Dengzhou army.
The battle below became very easy, Ye Qingyun fought from south to north and met almost no resistance along the way, and there were soldiers of the Wei King's army kneeling everywhere.
"Dudu, this is the Wei Palace!" A soldier pointed to the courtyard not far away.
Ye Qingyun suddenly smiled happily when he saw it, and he said: "Soldiers, surround the Wei Wangfu, and no one inside is allowed to let go, maybe there are some big people inside." ”
