Chapter 230 Breaking the City in Half a Day
Guo Dehai looked at Zhao Tai in horror, shouting crazily in his heart, "Zhao Tai, don't try to fool me!"
When the Mongolian troops on Zhengzhou City discovered that Zhao Tai was dancing like a master again, everyone immediately panicked.
The fierce defensive battle made the Mongolian army at the top of the city temporarily forget about the explosion just now.
Now Zhao Tai did it again, which aroused the defenders' fear of explosions.
They watched Zhao Tai dancing with his sword and chanting mantras on the high platform. They felt terrified and their defense line immediately wavered.
At this time, the eyes of Guo Dehai and other Mongolian soldiers were attracted by Zhao Tai. They watched him dance the magic sword and did not dare to express their anger.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Guo Dehai shouted in his heart.
When Zhao Tai saw the artillery group raising the response flag and indicating that it was ready, he immediately pointed his magic sword to the sky and shouted loudly: "Boom!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the throwing rods of each gun carriage in the artillery group suddenly bounced up, throwing the thunderbolts that lit the fuses directly into the sky.
The defenders on the city all looked at Zhao Tai, and few saw the black dot rising into the sky.
At this time, following Zhao Tai's movements, everyone's hearts were in their throats, and the air seemed to be quiet for a moment.
There was a loud "boom", and one of the thunderbolts that was thrown away exploded in the air, making a sound like dry thunder.
The Mongolian troops on the city wall and the Jin troops below the city trembled when they heard the loud noise.
Guo Dehai raised his head in surprise and saw more than ten black spots flying in the sky. As they flew, they exploded with a loud noise, instantly allowing the Mongolian troops at the top of the city to break through.
"The golden man knows sorcery, run quickly!" Before the thunderbolt could fall on the city, the Mongolian troops on the city suddenly burst into an uproar, and many of the defenders dispersed in an instant.
It was useless for anyone to stop them now. The psychological defense line of the Mongolian army at the head of the city was completely defeated.
They dare to fight any enemy, but they dare not go against the gods.
At this time, the remaining thunderbolts fell on the city head and inside the city walls, and exploded violently immediately.
Amidst the loud noise of "boom, boom, boom", the Mongolian troops near the explosion point felt an earth-shattering force coming, and all the surrounding soldiers were overturned by the air waves.
The Jin Army knows sorcery and can attract thunder from the sky, and the gods are on the side of the Jin Army. How can we fight this battle?
They originally thought it was just one explosion, but now there were loud explosions above and around them, indicating that Zhao Tai could continue to summon divine thunder, and the Mongolian army under the city collapsed immediately.
For a time, both the Mongolian troops in the gap and on the city screamed and ran away amid the sound of explosions.
"Kill!" Wu Xian saw the Mongolian soldiers fleeing in front of him, and immediately brandished his sword and roared.
Different from the panic of the Mongolian army, when the Jin army heard the explosion, their faces turned red, and like a divine help, they launched an attack like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.
Sergeant Jin was extremely excited and rushed forward bravely, as if he was protected by gods and would be invulnerable.
Guo Dehai stood blankly at the top of the city and was completely dumbfounded when he saw this scene.
He couldn't believe it, but he actually witnessed this scene with his own eyes, "Then Zhao Tai is the reincarnation of Zhang Jiao? He actually knows sorcery!"
"Commander, let's go quickly! The Jin soldiers are coming to kill us!" the general exclaimed again and again.
When Guo Dehai came back to his senses, he saw the Mongolian troops escaping from the city, and the Jin troops one after another climbed up the ladder to the top of the city. He knew that Zhengzhou could not be defended.
Zhao Tai learned magic, but Guo Dehai could only admit defeat, "Let's go! Break out of Beicheng!"
After speaking, Guo Dehai, surrounded by his subordinates, hurried down to the city and rode towards Beicheng.
"Brothers! Break the city and make a great contribution!" Chen Zhong shouted loudly. He took the lead and climbed to the top of the city.
The Mongolian troops in the city had abandoned their helmets and armor and were unable to resist, and there was no one to defend them.
He stood at the top of the city and looked around. They were all figures running for their lives in a hurry.
At this time, Wu Xian had already rushed into the city. When he saw the Mongolian army in front of him rolling and crawling away, he did not rush to pursue him, but pointed his sword and said, "Seize the city gate first!"
The siege troops of the Jin Army outside the city thought that there would be a fierce battle. Who knew that Xianggong Zhao was a god and could borrow thunder from the sky to help.
He first fired a thunderbolt, blowing a gap in the city wall, and then summoned a series of thunderbolts to bombard the city, causing the defenders to collapse.
Zhuge Liang borrowed the east wind, and Zhao Xianggong borrowed the thunder from the sky, so that the soldiers of Jin were so impressed that they fell to the ground, and their hearts were filled with awe of Zhao Tai.
At this time, the expected fierce battle did not occur. The Jin army rushed to the top of the city, but the Mongolian army had already fled. The Jin soldiers, who were eager to make contributions, had no chance to find anyone to kill.
Zhao Tai stood on the watchtower and saw the Jin soldiers rushing to the top of the city. He saw the city gate being opened and the Jin soldiers outside the city swarming into the city. A smile appeared on his lips inadvertently, and he was quite satisfied with his performance.
"My lord, Zhengzhou has been destroyed!" Looking downstairs, many soldiers shouted excitedly.
Zhao Tai immediately went down to the watchtower, took off his Taoist uniform, and shouted loudly, "Send the order, attack Zhengzhou, and capture more prisoners!"
The Mongolian troops in the city fled north, and the Jin soldiers who invaded the city shouted loudly, "Disarm and do not kill! Surrender and avoid death!" The cry instantly resounded throughout the city.
At this time, the north gate of Zhengzhou City was opened. Guo Dehai led the troops in a rout and galloped out. They broke through the obstruction of the Jin soldiers and fled to the north.
The soldiers of the Jin Army who swarmed in suddenly killed everyone in the city. Except for those who knelt down and surrendered, anyone who did not abandon their weapons and knelt down and dared to wear armor and hold weapons would be killed on the spot.
Because the Mongolian army lost its will to fight, the battle in Zhengzhou City lasted less than an hour and ended.
Wuxian and others led a group of soldiers into the state government office, hoping to capture Guo Dehai alive, but Guo Dehai broke out from the north gate.
The Mongolian general fled, and by noon, the Jin army had full control of Zhengzhou.
After Guo Dehai broke through the obstruction of the Jin soldiers outside the north city, he fled directly to the north. He ran to the edge of the Yellow River, and suddenly a trumpet sounded and two ambushes came out.
Most of the thousands of exhausted Mongolian troops were immediately killed, and Guo Dehai only managed to escape with a dozen riders.
In the afternoon, the Jin soldiers who occupied Zhengzhou cleaned up the city a little and then welcomed Zhao Tai into the city.
Most of the soldiers of the Jin Dynasty did not know about gunpowder. Many people regarded Zhao Tai as a god like Zhuge Liang in storytelling. They were full of awe of Zhao Tai and did not dare to show any disrespect.
"Ms. Sir, the city has been controlled. The 20,000 Mongolian troops killed more than 2,000 people and captured more than 10,000 people. The rest broke out from the north gate!" As soon as Zhao Taigang entered the prefectural government office, Chen Zhong stepped forward to report.
"Where is Guo Dehai?" Zhao Tai is more concerned about Daxia Guo and knows that he is a general. If he can be caught, Zhao Tai will try to recruit him.
Wu Xiandao: "That guy runs fast, but whether we can catch the ambush we arranged in the north depends on luck."
"It doesn't matter if he doesn't catch him, just let him spread the news about Zhengzhou and scare the Mongolians!" Zhao Tai said with a smile.
Wu Xian also smiled and said: "Not to mention those uninformed Mongolian soldiers, I, who knew the situation, was also shocked by you Guorui. This gunpowder has been transformed by you and is so powerful. It really makes me feel uneasy."
