Chapter 1084: Chaotic Battle
***
On the other side of the dock, Cao Zheng's thirty people also started a fierce bloody battle. The enemy not only fired arrows from both sides of the river, but also lowered the fireboat and drifted down the river, trying to burn the ships controlled by Cao Zheng and them.
Willik also rushed to the bridge connecting the north and the south with nearly 3,000 palace guards, ready to join the battle.
When Cao Zheng saw it, he was so anxious that he personally picked up a rocket, quickly pulled the trigger, and the rocket flew towards the bridge. In the violent explosion, the bridge broke and smashed on the surface of the river, stirring up a stream of flowers more than ten meters high. A large number of palace guards on the bridge fell into the river, screaming endlessly. As soon as the bridge broke, Willik's palace guards were blocked on the south bank, unable to cross for a while.
Previously, he and the Slingers held the South Bank or the North Bank. Before the Qin army broke through, the two sides did not trust each other, so Willik did not lead his troops across the river in advance, which cheapened the Qin army. Otherwise, if these three thousand palace guards joined the battle, Yunteng and them would be even more troublesome.
Maybe this is also the result that Willik wants to see in his heart, and it is very beneficial for him to be able to watch the fire from the other side to preserve his strength.
On the north bank, Fang Ge, who was rushing ahead, saw that there were more and more enemies, rushing out like ants, and the shape was becoming more and more unfavorable to the Qin army, and in order to rush out of Paris, he brazenly ignored the order to set fire to the city, and his marines took action one after another, either with rockets or torches
Soon, the houses on either side either collapsed or flames were scattered, and the fire raged and burned into the sky, baking the night sky of Paris to an iron red, and the rolling black was swept by the wind, and the streets were filled with screams and coughs
The slingers, who were hiding in the house, rushed out covered in fire, like torches, and fell to the ground and rolled after not being able to run a few steps, and the terrible screams were extremely harsh, and people were horrified to hear.
Fango: They walked in the middle of the wide streets. I felt the same heat wave, and I was burned to the point that my hair was burnt, and I was sweating profusely, but in any case, with the help of this fierce heat, I finally blocked the tide of slinger rebels. The convoy was able to cross the 200-meter-long street and run to the dock.
The battle on the dock side was even more fierce, Cao Zheng's 30 men had already suffered 8 casualties, and the banks of the Seine were already covered with corpses. There are also craters from rockets.
The enemy was still rushing to the shore in batches, shooting with muskets, shooting with bows and arrows, and many boats on the river were already ignited by the enemy's rockets. But the earth-shattering explosions and fireballs set off were even more terrifying to the enemy;
The slingers on the north shore were slaughtered and fled in horror. There was a stampede between each other, and many people did not die under the shells of the Qin army, but died at the feet of their own people.
Everywhere there was smoke and fire, and the sound of gunfire was like a tide. Screams and shouts resounded throughout the city, and Mazarin looked at the raging fire in the city, and his heart was filled with grief. Is this Paris? Is this France? Why can a group of people from 100,000 miles away be allowed to feel like they are in a no-man's land?
For the first time, Mazarin felt the power of the East, the power that made people fear, and in his sadness he even remembered the "whip of God" and the "yellow peril" that had made the whole of Europe tremble.
Is God going to punish Europe once again?
Yun Teng didn't care about the whip of God at this time, he just wanted to kill Paris quickly, no matter how good their weapons were, the ammunition was not unlimited, in order to prevent the enemy from approaching, such a fierce bombardment would not last long.
"Ji Feng, Chen Lin! Immediately build a line of defense, hold the dock, Fango, hurry load, hurry! ”
As soon as Yun Teng finished shouting, a soldier immediately ran over and shouted, "General Yun, it's not good!" The enemy brought in artillery, which should have been dismantled from the east gate"
There are artillery in the city of Paris, but most of them are on the city walls, and the artillery in front of the Louvre has been destroyed by Yunteng them, but the Qin army is too small, and only the west gate is currently controlled, and it is not surprising that the enemy has removed the artillery from other city gates.
Through the smoke of gunpowder, Yun Teng saw that on the street lit by fire on the south bank of the Seine River, there were French palace guards hurrying with several cannons drawn by war horses, because across the Seine River, and the bridge on the river was broken, Yun Teng wanted to send people over to destroy the enemy's artillery with rockets.
But there is no doubt that the enemy can bombard across the river as long as he mounts artillery
"Get out of the city first, and get out of town! Fang Ge open the way, quick! ”
The situation was so urgent that Yun Teng knew that he could no longer load a ship here, so he could only go west along the Champs-Élysées, and on the river, Cao Zheng and others pointed guns at the boatmen and asked them to immediately set up a boat and go down the river.
At this time, the city of Paris, about four miles wide from east to west, the Louvre is located in the center of the city, that is to say, to kill to the west gate, but also to rush through the distance of two miles, although the slingers on the north bank have been defeated due to huge casualties, but because of the large number of people, one out of ten still dares to fight, which is enough for Yunteng to give them a headache.
"Burn the city! Burn the city! ”
No matter what, in order to break out of the encirclement, Yun Teng once again ordered that everything that could be burned was set on fire by Fang Ge, and the houses, woods, haystacks, sundries, and even corpses were ignited by the raging fire, the fire helped the wind, and the wind helped the fire, as if the whole of Paris was going to be burned
It was another heat wave, and it was burning people's skin, Ji Feng, Chen Lin and the others kept shouting loudly, driving those French nobles to trot up with the carriage, for a while people were crying and neighing, and there was chaos, and an obese old earl ran a little slower, and was immediately shot and killed, splashing five steps;
The others were frightened and frightened, and they didn't dare to slow down a little longer, even those delicate ladies and young ladies also ran with the carriage while crying, in fact, even if Qin Jun didn't shoot, he could only run, and the houses on both sides were set on fire, although the Champs-Élysées was very wide, but he still felt that he couldn't stand being roasted.
Rockets with dazzling tail flares streaked through the frenzied streets, piercing the intersections one by one, blasting the rushing enemies to pieces, and the houses fell with a bang, and the dust billowed down
rushed out for another mile or so, Li Pan outside the city came in to accept, they did not drag, they had sufficient weapons, and they set fire while killing the enemy, and the destructive power was so strong that it was jaw-dropping.
If you look down from the sky, you can see that from the Louvre to the north bank of the Seine, and then from the quay on the north bank along the Champs-Élysées to the west gate, there are cries, screams, explosions, fires burning, black smoke billing, flames rolling in the wind, and the fire is constantly spreading.
Under the response of Li Pan and them, in the sound of gunfire, Yun Teng and their escort convoy, finally rushed out of the west gate, rushed out of the city of Paris filled with fireworks, the general cool breeze blowing, making people feel like they suddenly returned to the world from purgatory, even those French nobles who were escorted and ran, they couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and their cries suddenly became less.
But rushing out of the west gate does not mean that it is safe, although Li Pan and they broke the drawbridge on the moat of the west gate, but there are other city gates, Willik rushed out of the south gate with two thousand palace guards, and is chasing this side.
Yun Teng and the others hurried to a small pier outside the city, the flying shear battleship could not get close to this small pier because of the deep draft, but the cold artillery on the ship could provide artillery cover for the marines on the shore;
There are 22 guns on the single side of a clipper, which is enough to form an impenetrable net when loaded with shotguns. Willik rushed to the vicinity with two thousand guards and cannons, and when he saw the black holes of the clippers, he was so frightened that he stopped and did not dare to approach immediately.
Cao Zheng drove six boats out of the city along the Seine, and urgently docked on the dock, and Yun Teng immediately ordered the carriage to be unloaded and all the captives to help load the goods onto the ship.
At this time, the fire in Paris has spread for several blocks, and you can see the flames burning up from outside the city, the black smoke makes the night sky dark, you can't see the stars and moon, and the ashes are floating in the air, if you don't cover your nose, you will inhale into your lungs.
Ji Feng and the others urgently set up a defensive position on the periphery of the wharf, after all, more than a hundred carts of property, to be loaded on the ship, it will not be able to be loaded in a moment and a half, the citizens in the city were roasted by the fire, followed by the slingers from the various city gates, like a flood wave, is rushing to this side, the sound of the waves, straight into the sky
