Chapter 210: Bombardment of the Prime Minister's Mansion
Tall! What the hell is this Shenwei cannon? I didn't expect it to be so powerful, even if Shi Songdang was bombarded with holes after spitting fire, he immediately selected the front army and was defeated into the camp, otherwise, I'm afraid that the humble post is still leading the troops to fight with Shi Song at this time! As soon as Hua Yue saw Xie Quan, he immediately asked Gao Huaiyuan excitedly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Gao Huaiyuan waved his hand and said: This matter will be talked about later, it is also helpless to take out this thing today, after this battle, this thing will be temporarily sealed, and it is not easy to show people! I'll explain it to you later!
For now, let's think about the capture of the Prime Minister's Mansion first! I don't know if Zhao Futang and them have already taken Hu Yu's mansion, and what is the situation in Fang Shuda outside the city!
Gao Huaiyuan temporarily brought the topic to other things, but at this time they have not received the news, and they do not know the situation in other places, only Hu Yu's mansion lives in the inner city, but the mansions of Li Zhixiao and Xue Ji and others are in the outer city, if they want to completely solve the Shi Party, they must first catch Shi Miyuan.
So Gao Huaiyuan immediately pointed to these buildings opposite the Prime Minister's Mansion and asked his subordinates: Is it safe inside King Fu's mansion?
King Fu's mansion is a neighbor of Shi Miyuan, and the scale is far less large than Shi Miyuan's mansion, and King Fu is an expired royal prince, and his influence in the court is very weak, and few people deal with them under normal circumstances, so Gao Huaiyuan is not familiar with King Fu, but he has only had a one-sided friendship.
His subordinates immediately replied: King Fu is not the target of this arrest, so no one harasses them, and now the people in King Fu's mansion have not been affected!
Go and call the door of King Fu's mansion, and the official will borrow his backyard for use! Ask them to take shelter somewhere else! Gao Huaiyuan immediately ordered, at this time, he didn't care about harassing or not harassing these royal relatives, who made him unlucky and became a neighbor with Shi Miyuan? I had to wronged them.
Hua Yue immediately asked puzzled: Why did the lord borrow the backyard of the blessed king?
Gao Huaiyuan said with a smile: This official has his own clever plan, you should do what I say first! Prepare some tools, and I'm going to tear down some courtyard walls in a while!
Although Hua Yue and the others were puzzled, they also knew that Gao Huaiyuan had a lot of ideas, so they ordered to go down and immediately find some tools to tear down the wall and prepare them for a while.
So the soldiers immediately went around to the door of King Fu's mansion and began to knock on the door of King Fu's mansion, at this time the people in King Fu's mansion had already been scared half to death, and there was such a big movement outside Shi Miyuan's mansion, they were only afraid that it would affect the fish pond, where did they dare to come out and ask about it! As soon as he heard someone calling the door outside the palace gate, he was immediately frightened, and it took half a day for someone to come and open the door tremblingly, asking these officers and soldiers what was going on.
The officers and soldiers were not polite, and immediately said: Our palace marshal has an order to borrow your backyard for use, we are waiting for the country to eliminate traitors, and I hope that the prince will be considerate, and temporarily vacate the backyard for our use, please bring the people in the palace to your front yard to take shelter for a while!
The people in King Fu's mansion didn't dare to say no, so they hurriedly ran in to spread the word, King Fu was already an old man in his seventies, and he was scared to death at this time, and after hearing it, he first said angrily: I am the current county king, and they will deal with Shi Dang, so why harass this king? Go and call the man with the high surname and tell me about it himself!"
In any case, the camel that starved to death was bigger than the horse, and although King Fu was scared at this time, he still had to take a shelf for the sake of face.
But when the subordinates were about to go out to spread the word, King Fu changed his hexagram again, beckoned to his subordinates and said: That's it! They are also eliminating traitors for the country, so let them go! Look back, this king doesn't go to the palace to sue them! I'd better go to the front and take shelter for a while!
King Fu just put up the shelf, and he put it down again, he can't figure out the situation now, there is a shortage of soldiers outside, once he annoys these soldiers, he is afraid that he will also be deducted from the hat of a traitor, and he will solve it together, then he will be wronged!
So King Fu's mansion was so busy that he didn't even have time to clean up the softness, so he ran to the front yard to take shelter and gave the backyard to Gao Huaiyuan and his party.
Gao Huaiyuan didn't have time to make amends to King Fu, so he immediately asked Xie Quan to pull the cannon over, and ordered someone to tear open a section of the courtyard wall in King Fu's backyard and pull the cannon directly into King Fu's backyard.
At the same time, he ordered everyone not to take advantage of the fire to rob, steal the property of King Fu's family, and only work in the back garden, transfer the trappers into King Fu's backyard, prepare for departure, find the section of the courtyard wall facing Shi Miyuan's mansion, and use a Taihu Lake stone rockery as a cover, and aim the muzzle of the cannon at the courtyard wall.
Come on, open this courtyard wall for me! Gao Huaiyuan pointed to the section of the courtyard wall facing the Prime Minister's Mansion and shouted to the soldiers.
At this time, Hua Yue led the troops outside and shouted: The people in the Prime Minister's Mansion listened, Shi Song has now been killed, and the Xuan Feng Army has turned against the Holy Saint, you don't have to expect the Xuan Feng Army to save you and wait! Master Gao said, give you another chance, immediately open the door and surrender, if not, attack the mansion and kill you chickens and dogs!
Such news suddenly made another big mess in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and what they were counting on now was that Shi Song could lead troops to quell these rebellious troops in time, but they didn't expect to receive the news that Shi Song was killed, which immediately made everyone in the mansion panic.
Don't listen to their nonsense! Thousands of elites in the selection of the front army, how can they win it? Shi Dutong is a brave general, and it is impossible to be killed so easily! They are deliberately deceiving us and others, intending to deceive us and others into surrendering, everyone has resisted, and we must not believe their rumors! Yu Tianxi and the others immediately shouted in the Prime Minister's Mansion to appease the government soldiers and many guests in the mansion and let them continue to resist stubbornly.
Such a shouting has really played a role, and some people think about how long it has been! No matter how straw Shi Song is, there are thousands of troops, and it is impossible for him to be killed so quickly! So the gang plucked up their courage again, and lay down on the courtyard wall and put arrows outside.
A group of soldiers silently waved the hammer and steel drills, pickaxes and other tools, and smashed the courtyard wall in the backyard of King Fu's mansion, and the courtyard wall began to crack after a while.
Under the joint force of everyone, the courtyard wall that had been smashed by two sections squeaked and began to tilt, and then fell to the street facing Shi Miyuan's mansion with a bang, raising a cloud of dust.
The soldiers in the palace were taken aback again, and hurriedly under the command of the general, the bow and crossbow were aimed at the gap in the backyard of the Fuwang Mansion, they wanted to get the rebels to rush out of the backyard of the Fuwang Mansion nearby, directly attack their mansion gate, and shorten the distance to be blocked.
But after a burst of arrows, they didn't see anyone rushing out, and the soldiers in the Prime Minister's Mansion were a little confused, stretching out their heads and shooting out a few rockets, which were used as lighting, wanting to see what kind of medicine the rebels in the Fuwang Mansion were selling in the gourd.
At this time, only to hear the rumbling three huge roars, the door of the Xiangfu immediately sent out a violent tremor, several inches thick iron-clad Nanmu gate was actually blasted out of three basin-sized holes, hiding in the top door of some government soldiers even if they were knocked down by flying fragments, someone was hit by an iron ball, turned into two pieces and flew out, it can be seen that the power of hitting the gate is great.
The people in the Prime Minister's Mansion were all trembling, and they all looked in the direction of the gate, but they didn't know what was hit, and they looked at each other for a while, not knowing what to do.
Hurry up and reload! Also with solid iron bullets! Xie Quan stood on the Taihu Lake Stone and instructed his gunners to reload for the second time.
Some people sprayed water into the muzzle of the gun to extinguish the sparks left by the residual gunpowder residue in the muzzle, and then someone poked into the bore with a long brush, wiped the bore back and forth, wiped the water and residue in the bore, and then someone filled the bore with a brocade bag into the bore, and then someone pounced on it, smashed the podage into the bottom of the bore with the cannon, and smashed it into the bore with a cork. The barrel of the cannon was sealed to play a sealing role, and finally a round solid iron bullet was stuffed into the chamber.
At this time, the gunner inserted an awl into the hole of the fire door, pierced a hole in the powder bag of the gun chamber, and inserted a goose feather tube filled with ignition into the fire door hole, which was considered to have completed all the preparations, and the rest was to re-aim.
The gunners moved the gun carriage and aimed the muzzle of the gun at the huge gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then shouted at Xie Quan: Release! Under the sound, the gunpowder that ignited the fire door was ignited.
Immediately after three loud bangs sounded again, three heavy iron bullets flew out in response to the sound and hit the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion hard.
Gao Huaiyuan always stood aside and watched their actions, and nodded secretly, these guys have not practiced in vain, they have found a set of quite effective methods of manipulating artillery, and they are not inferior to the loading methods of primary artillery in later generations, under the guidance of his original theory, they have basically reached a fairly perfect actual combat experience, so that they can be put to great use in the future.
Although the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion is very strong, it is only to defend against ordinary ram attacks, but I never thought that it would be attacked like this, even if it is strong, it is still wrapped in iron planks, how can it withstand such a bombardment!
