Chapter 112 Breaking through the city wall
~.-~ Under the violent blizzard, Prince Kublai Khan's men were desperately rushing to the city wall. Uploaded by netizens ==. At this time, someone would say, is Prince Kublai Khan crazy? Can such weather attack? This...
To be honest, people who have such ideas can only say that they do not understand the position of the Khan or the position of the Emperor. Without strict legal constraints, people can go crazy to the extent!
Back then, Wu Zetian could suffocate his children to death for the throne. Later, the Regent of Sophia of the Russian Empire imprisoned his brother, later Emperor Peter I, for that position.
If you read the history of the world, you will see that this is definitely not a new thing. If a mother can kill her own children with her own hands, a sister can detain her brothers. The legend of the French "Iron-Faced Man" also tells us that nothing is important for the throne.
If so, is there anything wrong with the attack at this time? Is there any better offensive period in bad weather that makes the opponent's advanced power unable to exert its power?
No, then this is the basis for the attack of Prince Kublai Khan. Similarly, the reason why Zhao Xu arranged to announce his Khan action today is that it is his opinion that it is difficult to attack the city under the snowstorm.
So now the facts have told everyone that Zhao Xu’s view is wrong. Therefore, this wrong view will bring him huge losses.
When stepping on the ladder, it gives people a slippery feeling. It is the blood flowing down the ladder, and it turns into red ice crystals. After finally coming to the city, the people who came to the city threw off their snowshoes, took out their short guns and started to climb the city. Following the "blood road" that solidified the blood ice crystals, they leaned towards the city step by step. People on the city walls do not throw grenades, or down bullets along the ladder.
However, it is not easy to do anything in the face of a blizzard, from spitting to fighting. Even the lights on the city wall appear so dim when shining under the city due to the storm.
The soldiers guarding the city still desperately poured fire into the distance of the darkness, but the heavy snowflakes that were often stuck on their faces made their aim impossible. Not to mention that the city was close to the reincarnation cannon, which even had a further distance than the reincarnation cannon on the top of the city.
On such a vast snowstorm night, the huge siege equipment was also found by Prince Kublai Khan and moved slowly on the snow. At this time, the effective suppression of copper cannons on the top of the city was lacking, allowing them to slowly approach the city.
When the arrow tower approached, the feather arrow rushed to the city with a silent breath of death. Although it was shining by the searchlight, it was then blown into pieces by the shells from the bronze cannon. However, more arrow towers approached, and the accuracy of the bronze cannon gunners was much lower due to the influence of heavy snow.
The flame that only emits when triggered makes the entire city head hot. The searchlight is burning, and the copper cannon shells are also ignited. With the loss of the city guarding equipment, more siege machinery approaches the city wall. What is most worrying is the ladder truck with a slewing staircase.
"Ladder truck, I'm about to hit it..."
The blizzard made the people on the city wall close at a very close distance, and they even observed that the ancients were quite creative and opened sails at the bottom of the ladder truck. Under the huge wind, these huge siege equipment could quickly approach the city wall.
The gunners of the bronze cannon on the top of the city desperately turned the gun body of the bronze cannon. It is not easy for the heavy copper cannon to obtain the accurate direction of the strike. This is especially true when the snow is heavy.
A branch of arrows shrouded the city. At such a night, for the ancients, feather arrows were a more controllable weapon, and also happened to be a weapon they were better at.
"puff"
The "trigger rocket" spewed out a stream of blue flames, especially the defensive equipment on the city that became bright under the big flames, which became the key points of attack for the approaching arrow tower.
Just now, the gun body turned around, and such a "trigger rocket" fell near the copper cannon that was about to fire. A huge fire immediately rose under the fuel. The fatal thing was that the snow just fell allowed these flames to flow everywhere, and finally ignited the bullets on the top of the city.
The "rumbling" explosion sounded on the top of the city, and the soldiers on the front of the city were blown up in the sky by the huge impact. At this time, the ladder truck that had finally arrived after working hard to open its "mén teeth".
The iron chain passed through the solid iron ring, and the hook at the front of the falling thick wooden board was firmly hooked on the city wall. Inside was a group of ancient soldiers with bows and arrows prepared in their hands. In the sound of the "swooshing" feather arrows breaking through the air, flames rose from the remaining guard soldiers on the city. Some people who couldn't stand it jumped directly from the city to solve their pain.
As the ladder cart arrived, the pressure on the ancient soldiers climbing along the ladder was even less. As mentioned in the previous chapter, when they were mobilizing their troops on the ladder to the top of the city, they rushed up to the city wall together.
At this time, Zhao Xu's imperial guards under the city were facing those who were carrying out the "internal response" mission. They attacked the people who responded there and suffered huge casualties. This was clearly seen by the people on the city. As more and more ancient soldiers were soldiered on the city, an officer finally issued such an order.
"Grenade, drop!"
His long sword pointed at the guard soldiers under Zhao Xu who were fired quickly. They did not expect that the city wall above their heads would have fallen in a few minutes. They would have discovered that with their dense firepower, of course, they could give the most violent damage to the people on the city wall.
However, in just a few minutes, a row of grenades flew from the sky fell beside them.
Amid the explosion of "Boom rumbling...", the neat formation of the imperial guard soldiers under Zhao Xu was blown upside down. This is not the most deadly thing. The worst thing is that the ancient soldiers of the méng army who arrived at the top of the city were almost all a pulley bow and each one had a "trigger rocket". In the dark night, except for the "Chinese Army" equipped with Chen Xiao, there is probably no more terrifying weapon than this.
The situation reversed in an instant. The defenders in the city desperately launched an attack on the breakthrough point, trying to regain the city wall. The attacked guards under the city also quickly distributed their men to attack.
However, the ancient soldiers outside the city cheered at this time.
"The city is broken, the city is broken..."
