Chapter 794 takes Hanyang City

Cui Zhuo can be regarded as a wise man, but a wise man must make a mistake, and his unintentional action exposes his weakness. After nightfall, the people who had fought hard all day fell asleep on their things, and only the patrolling guards kept patrolling the city. At this time, a small team of more than ten people quietly came to the west city wall of Hanyang City. This squad is the special operations detachment of the Ruifeng Battalion of the Dingguo Army, and all members of it are composed of martial arts masters and all kinds of strange people. Listening to the movement of the city, when the patrol people walked over, the rope flying claws quickly hooked up, and then these people climbed up to the city head one after another like apes, and in this way, this team crossed the Hanyang city wall unconsciously.

Hanyang City was quiet at night, and the people in the city never dreamed that the situation in the city had been clearly felt. This night Zhao Yougong and Gao Zhong and others did not rest, they were still waiting for the news from Hanyang City, about a certain time, the people who went to investigate returned to the camp, Bai Li, who was responsible for investigating the enemy, replied seriously, "Your Highness, the situation has been figured out, the defense of Xicheng is obviously much tighter than the other three sides, and there is a house heavily guarded, at first the general thought that there were some important people there, so he quietly slipped in, but the people did not find it, but they found these things." ”

As he spoke, Bai Li escaped two paper bags from his cuffs, and after the paper bags were spread out on the table, Zhao Yougong and the others only glanced at them, and their scalps wrinkled, because the paper bags were wrapped in Lin powder and sulfur powder. Taking a breath, Gao Chong touched his chin and said hatefully, "This Cui Zhuo, no wonder he refuses to transfer the soldiers from the west." I used to guard these things. Fortunately, there was no rush to send soldiers to attack the city. Otherwise, Cui Zhuo will plot against him. ”

No wonder Cui Zhuo has a strong heart, it turns out that there is a killer weapon, the power of sulfur powder and Lin powder, Gao Zhong and others have seen it with their own eyes, outside Wuzhou City, how many elites of Liaoxijing were buried in the sulfur powder flames, and at that time, outside Wuzhou City directly became a smoke cage, and the dead people filled the moat. Does Cui Zhuo want to restore the feat of the National Army in Wuzhou City? If he really did it, the consequences can be imagined. Now I feel scared when I think about it, but fortunately I found the clue, otherwise I don't know how many warriors of the Dingguo Army will become barbecue, Hanyang City has no moat, and the nearest water source, the Han River, is still a lot away.

If you don't know Cui Zhuo's tricks, it's fine, now that you know, you have to teach Cui Zhuo, an old boy, a good lesson. After thinking about it, Zhao Yougong immediately said, "Changke." Tomorrow you continue to attack the city, and half of our army will be thrown into the west. Geng Yi's people are also ready. Once Cui Zhuo released his killer move, he threw all the thunderbolts he carried on the city wall, and the king wanted to prepare the biggest gift flower for Cui Zhuo, and let him feel the atmosphere of the Shangyuan Festival. ”

Gao Zhong naturally agreed, but Geng Yi hesitated, he replied with a frown, "Your Highness, there are not many thunderbolts and trebuchets carried this time, they are prepared to deal with the Liaodong war, if they are used in Hanyang City, there will be no more Liaodong wars after that, and the thunderbolts are very limited, and it is not enough to transfer them from Shamen Island." ”

Geng Yi has always been in charge of firearms, and knows that thunderbolts are scarce, and there are not many stored on Salmon Island, so if you want to requisition a large amount, you have to transfer it from Guanzhong, but in today's current situation, if you want to call it from Guanzhong, not to mention the difficulty, it is enough to quench your thirst in the distance. Now that he heard that Zhao Yougong wanted to use these firearms, he couldn't help but hesitate. How did Zhao Yougong not know the scarcity of firearms, the first battle of Wuzhou City, which directly consumed several years of stock, and then although the process went up, there was still not much stock, so he had to save it, but now he had no choice, looking at Geng Yi's painful expression, he could only smile bitterly, "You, just a miser, you are willing to be the king, just got an urgent report, Li Ziqian has begun to transfer troops, there are signs of moving troops to Nanpu, leaving us less and less time, we must take Hanyang before Li Ziqian makes a move, Kill Cui Zhuo. Therefore, the top priority is to capture Hanyang, and the rest is not taken care of by this king. ”

After Zhao Yougong's explanation, Geng Yi finally understood how urgent the current situation was, compared with the current problems, the future can only be put aside for the time being, there is a way to go before the car reaches the mountain, maybe firearms will not be used in the war in Liaodong. Arching his hand, Geng Yi shouted, "The last general will obey the order, Your Highness rest assured, as long as Cui Zhuo dares to do it tomorrow, the last general will let his subordinates teach Cui Zhuo a good lesson." ”

After a night of silence, on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the army outside the city did not seem to want to give the soldiers defending the city time to eat, and as soon as the morning dawned, Gao Zhong commanded the soldiers of the White Water Army to storm the east city wall. But in the end, it was the thick walls of Hanyang City that quickly stabilized the situation, but the White Water Army invested too many troops, almost all of the 6,000 troops pressed up, and Cui Zhuo had no choice but to urgently transfer part of the defenders from the south to the east, so that he could resist it. After an hour of siege, about two quarters in the morning, a rapid drum sounded, and the foot soldiers of the Dingguo Army, who had been standing still, began to move. A total of 3,000 foot soldiers, they were dressed in black armor, swords and guns, and pressed towards the west of Hanyang with neat steps, although they did not move, but Hanyang City had already felt the infinite fighting spirit of the Dingguo Army, they were different from the White Water Army, and they gave people an endless pressure as soon as they got out of the horse.

On the eastern city wall, Cui Zhuo was busy directing and dispatching troops and horses to resist the crazy attack of the White Water Army. Today, these whitewater army miscellaneous people want to take the wrong medicine, everyone is desperate to rush up, why didn't they find that Li Qinghao's soldiers and horses were still so powerful. In fact, there is no way for the White Water Army to do this, Gao Zhong has already issued an order, if he can't beat Hanyang City today, hundreds of thousands of people in the White Water Army have to pay for Hanyang City, Li Chengqi doesn't want to die, and his sons don't want to let the family members behind him die together, so as soon as they come up today, the soldiers of the White Water Army will be freed, even if they die in battle, as long as they can take Hanyang City, their families and friends can still have a good life.

"Report, it's not good, the Han people have attacked the city, the Han people have attacked the city, Master Cui, the Han people have appeared in the west, and now they have begun to storm the west city wall, and the number is about 4,000 people. And crossbow arrows to help. The brothers are suppressed and can't hold their heads up! ”

"What? So fast? Cui Zhuo was not shocked. He could guess that the Dingguo Army would definitely not be able to help but do it, but he didn't expect it to do so soon, didn't the Han people want to consume the White Water Army again? After handing over the east to the general Jin Gaohe, he led the people to hurry to the west, and he didn't know if he didn't come, but when he came to take a look, he knew how much pressure there was on the west, and the Dingguo army was attacking the city in an orderly manner. They were not in a hurry to attack, they climbed a few times, and when they saw the defenders of the city showing their heads, they held their shields directly above their heads, and at the same time, the crossbowmen not far behind them beckoned to the soldiers who were defending the city, and when the defenders were suppressed and shrunk behind the battlements, they began to climb again. In short, the soldiers who climb the ladder cooperate with the crossbowmen. The defenders of the city were even more casualties than the siege. Cui Zhuo's scalp was numb for a while, and the Dingguo Army's ability to fight well was indeed worthy of its reputation. The tactical literacy of the siege of the city is compared with that of the White Water Army, and the judgment is high, no wonder the Dingguo Army took Chuncheon in a few days and destroyed Li Qinghao, the gap between the combat power of the two sides is too big. Although the Dingguo Army did not attack the city so quickly, but steady and steady, step by step, if you don't want to do something, the soldiers of the Dingguo Army will soon hit the city, and when they get to the city, it will be too difficult to catch up.

Cui Zhuo was still thinking, but the battle situation was getting more and more miserable, a crossbow arrow flew in, directly pierced a soldier's chest, and pressed it against the wall battlement behind, and several people worked together to drag the man down from under the crossbow arrow. The crossbowmen of the Dingguo Army are too powerful, at this time, the soldiers have been suppressed and can't raise their heads, no one wants to be the unjust ghost, the defenders of the city dare not show their heads, waiting for others to cut their heads along the ladder? Cui Zhuo gritted his teeth and clenched his fists fiercely, "Come on, move the things in the Lu family's compound, Cui someone wants to let these Han people know that they are powerful, our Goryeo warriors are not easy to mess with, Hanyang City, you can't come back." ”

With Cui Zhuo's order, the things hidden in the Lu family's compound were moved out, and the sulfur powder with a pungent smell began to spread in the air as soon as it was thrown in the city. Looking at the soldiers of the Dingguo Army who were besieging the city, Cui Zhuo yelled, "Light a fire and burn this group of bitches." Cui Zhuo scolded, he is a very well-educated person, and his tutor is also very good, but he was suppressed enough today, and he was finally able to vent his evil anger, where can he bear it?

The sulfur powder caught fire when it saw it, and the soldiers of the Dingguo Army who were contaminated with sulfur powder were directly on fire, screaming and falling from the clouds, and the cloud ladder was also swallowed by the flames, and the siege momentum was stagnant for a while. Seeing that many people died in the flames, although Shi Wengong had already prepared, he was still distressed when he saw his brothers suffering, so he hurriedly ordered, "Mingjin withdraws his troops and informs Geng Yi that he can do it." ”

The sound of the golden gong sounded for the retreat, and the soldiers of the Dingguo Army, who were still indomitable just now, suddenly stopped, and retreated like a tide in turn, they retreated in a very orderly manner, without panic at all, and in the end, even the ladder on the city wall was dragged away, and the corpses of the Dingguo Army under the city would not be left. Watching the retreat of the Dingguo Army, Cui Zhuo was a little stunned, he had seen the withdrawal of the White Water Army, and then looked at the Dingguo Army, it was really incomparable between people. The Dingguo army is also retreating, but the array is still the same, there is vigilance, there is a palace, and there is no panic at all, if anyone dares to go out to find fault at this time, it will definitely not be pleased. The Dingguo Army is really powerful, but they withdrew too quickly.

Cui Zhuo's doubts are not unreasonable, because the Dingguo army really withdrew too quickly, as if they were deliberately waiting for the sulfur powder, the sulfur powder came, and they all ran away at once, no matter how you think about it, you have a feeling of being deceived. When Cui Zhuo scratched his ears and cheeks, Geng Yi had already commanded more than 100 artillery battalion soldiers to aim at the west city wall, holding a clairvoyant mirror, and after visually measuring the distance, Geng Yi ordered with a serious expression, "Thirty zhang ahead, extending fifteen zhang, thunderbolts and thunderbolts are all pouring out." ”

Under the order, Geng Yi felt a pain in his flesh, these thunderbolts and thunderbolts were his own heart. Thunderbolts and thunderbolts can't be compared with the shells of later generations, and they may not have much effect when they are thrown on the city wall, and expecting this thing to blow up the city wall is tantamount to a fool's dream, but it is a land battle, and it will kill the opponent's infantry and cavalry. However, this time the thunderbolt was not to kill the city walls, but to ignite the sulfur powder. A dark iron ball flew to the west city wall of Hanyang, with a bang, deafening, and several unlucky soldiers around were blown to ashes. This is not the end, at this time there can be a lot of sulfur powder on the west city wall, just used only a small part, now the thunderbolt fire and thunder exploded, sparks splashed, immediately ignited the sulfur powder in the city, a large amount of sulfur powder was blown up and splashed in all directions, for a time the city was filled with purple smoke, many people were contaminated with sparks, and more people covered their mouths tightly because of breathlessness and coughed. There was the first one, there was the second one, and with the detonation of thunderbolts one after another, the western city wall of Hanyang fell into the purple fire, and at the same time, the sound of explosions spread throughout the city, all the way to the heavily guarded Lu family compound.

The west city wall was full of screams, Cui Zhuo fled to the city in a panic, he didn't know how he escaped, and when he regained his senses, he found that his head was feverish, and his beard was curled. It's terrible, now that I think about the scene at that time, I feel like I'll have nightmares when I sleep in the future. Cui Zhuo is also smart but was mistaken by cleverness, if he hadn't thought that there were sulfur powder yin people, maybe the Dingguo army would not be able to find a quick way to attack the city, in short, the current west city wall is completely finished, most of the people have been burned by the high-temperature flames, an hour has passed, and the miserable howls have not stopped, all of this is his Cui Zhuo's sin.

The smoke gradually subsided, Shi Wengong covered his mouth and nose with a strip of wet cloth, raised the Han Tian painting halberd in his hand, and shouted loudly, "All the soldiers listen to the order, go to the city in one move, only succeed, not fail, kill!" ”

The subordinate Erlang was wrapped in a strip of wet cloth, raised the sword in his hand, and shouted in unison, "Kill", the Dingguo army rushed to the west city wall like a tide again, and a cloud ladder was erected, the difference was that no one dared to stop it this time, and the west city wall soon announced the fall. Occupying the thick city wall, Shi Wengong immediately let go of the west city gate, and the cavalry of thousands of ancient towns, which had been prepared for a long time, rushed into the city quickly. The target of the Guzhen cavalry is Hanyang Dongcheng, Cui Zhuo is not reconciled, he organized more than 3,000 people to defend the central street of Hanyang, but unfortunately these people were beaten by the iron chain horses of the Guzhen cavalry and fled in all directions, and in just a quarter of an hour, the central street was occupied by the Dingguo army.

The foot soldiers of the Dingguo army killed from the west city to the east city, and cooperated with the soldiers of the White Water Army outside the city to begin to encircle the east city wall, under the strong pressure of both sides, the 6,000 defenders suffered heavy casualties, and held out for half an hour, and the 2,000 remnants surrendered. As the soldiers of the White Water Army climbed to the top of the city, the fall of Hanyang City was completely announced. After this battle, those dissatisfied Baishui soldiers no longer dared to say anything, they looked at the Dingguo Army at this time with a lot of fear in their eyes, the ancient Hanyang achievements were broken in this way, they stormed for two days, and invested more than 20,000 people to take Hanyang, which was taken down by the Dingguo Army in two hours.
