Chapter 221 City Gate Blocking War
In Yidu City, Li Quan did not go to the city tower to supervise the battle as soon as possible, but he did not hide in the General Administration as a turtle. After all, he lived on the edge of a knife. He understood that if the city broke, the Li family would have a dead end, so he also came to the city gate.
But he was supervising the battle at the city gate in the north!
Compared with the East Mongolian soldiers and horses that were obviously fewer in the south, he was more worried about the 100,000 troops on the Khan Court. Fortunately, the walls of Yidu City were repaired. Although the Khan Court had a strong offensive, he would not open the city gate for a while.
Even if the big stones are still smashing into the city with great difficulty, the only thing that is affected is the area near the city gate. And even if it hits the wall, it will only make a big hole. It is impossible to smash the wall in a short time.
At the moment in the temporary command post where he was, when he heard that the attack of the Khan Court had weakened, he breathed a sigh of relief without any concealment. The sky was just bright, and he resisted the first wave of attacks and could at least rest for a while.
"I ordered the people from the Food Camp to kill ten fat pigs to reward the soldiers guarding the city. Whether they live or die, the soldiers guarding the city today will receive a piece of silk, a coin of money." Li Quan ordered the troops to spread the news immediately.
Soon the defenders on the entire city wall cheered. They were glad that they survived, and that they could have a good meal and receive rewards. Although the money they always have can't be used to buy so many useful items in the past few years. But no matter how worth it, they can still buy a large jar of rice or wheat flour to go back.
It was also after the war in Shandong that the copper coins in the past became less valuable. In addition, the copper coins on the market were getting lighter and lighter, and the market was completely controlled by bad coins, so the purchasing power of copper coins also shrank severely.
Li Quan, who had already ordered, did not stay in the command post anymore, but rushed to the south. Eastern Mongolia might be subject to military forces, and the offensive would be less fierce than the Khan Court. But now that the north side is no longer in the way, we still have to go and see the south side.
And he was also a little worried about the legendary firearm of the Eastern Mongols!
Yidu City is very large, and because there is no difference between the inner and outer cities, the people in the city are also larger than those of the same size. The population reaches 50,000 households, especially when the war broke out, a group of people poured in, making the population of the city reach nearly 300,000.
At this moment, because the curfew has not been opened on the street, there are no ordinary people except the soldiers patrolling back and forth and the reinforcements. Li Quan rode his horse and spent about an incense stick to arrive at the city gate in the south.
Boom boom boom... From a distance, you can hear a loud noise near the city gate. The houses near the city gate have almost turned into ruins at this moment. Outside the ruins, some injured or driven out of the house and destroyed people gathered together, looking at the sky near the city gate in fear.
The huge rocks and fireballs that were smashed from time to time made people feel that death is close to us.
"Is this a firearm?" Li Quan looked at the roar of the fireball falling down, and a half-collapsed house that had been smashed was directly blown into ruins, and he couldn't help but feel panic.
It was at this moment that a blast that overwhelmed all the roar suddenly came from the city gate. Li Quan only saw that the city gate, which was blocked by giant trees and stones, suddenly raised its bulge outwards. Then a dazzling light flashed!
A scream sounded, and blood was also fragmented on Li Quan's face.
"Master General, Master General!" Seeing Li Quan fall to the ground, the soldiers who reacted quickly immediately got up from the ground and rushed to Li Quan and shouted.
Before he could check his injuries, he heard news that made him desperate!
"The city gate is broken!"
"The city gate is broken!"
"The Mongolian Tartars have entered!"
Li Quan immediately looked at the city gate!
Then I saw that the city gate that was originally sealed was blown up, and one door left was half hanging obliquely, and a small part of it was blown up and broken, leaving a terrifying break.
The stones and giant trees used to block before disappeared, leaving a large open space. Around the city gate were soldiers who were wailing constantly. Some were beaten away by giant trees, and the blood stained on them was still flowing on the ground. Some were killed by giant stones, and half of their bodies were smashed.
It looks like a purgatory on earth!
Although his place was a little far away, it was also affected. Some people were unfortunately cut through their heads, while others were hit by gravel, leaving a bloody hole.
"Hurry! Go and seal the door! Don't let the Mongolian Tartars come in!" Li Quan shouted loudly, and kept pushing the soldiers guarding him with both hands so that they could quickly block the city gate.
Because just opposite the broken door, a large number of soldiers could be seen rushing towards him quickly.
Guoan, who was on the city wall, was also shocked by the roar just now!
When he learned that the city gate had been blown open, he was so scared that his five souls lost three souls. He didn't care that the soldiers on the city were still surprised, so he shouted and asked someone to go down to block the city gate.
But Eastern Mongolia obviously won’t let Guoan use it as he wishes!
After discovering that the city gate was bombed, Temulun immediately asked the catapult cart and the thunder cart to advance forward in order to narrow the distance from the city gate and expand the accuracy and range of projection.
Boom boom boom...
Guoan immediately felt the "comfortable hospitality" of Eastern Mongolia. Many soldiers who were about to go down to help were once again frightened by the offensive of Eastern Mongolia.
Under the city, the houses around Li Quan were bombarded more and more frequently. A few songs guarding him immediately suggested: "Master, this place is too dangerous, let's retreat first!"
While talking, a fireball happened to fall nearby, blowing a carriage to pieces.
Seeing this, Li Quan was no longer pretentious. He only looked at the two soldiers who had already formed a group of soldiers at the city gate with concern, praying in his heart that he could block the city gate.
Such a tug-of-war did not last long. When Li Quan retreated to a safe place, the cavalry of the East Mongolian finally arrived at the city gate. Compared with the prisoners with worrying combat power, the cavalry of the East Mongolian naturally had a higher fighting will.
After rushing to the city gate, the prisoners who were almost driven out of the city gate were immediately stabilized.
At this time, in order to avoid hurting his own people, the catapult car and the thunder car stopped attacking. After Li Quan heard that there was no movement behind him, his uneasiness became worse and worse.
"Let's go! Go back to the General Administration!" The thought that he had originally wanted to stop and watch the battle disappeared instantly.
