In the capital city, there was a thick fog. The once prosperous capital city had long lost its calmness and confidence that was the best in the world, but was shrouded in panic and fear. There were no few open businesses in the huge capital city.

There are almost no figures on the shops, except for teams of soldiers walking by from time to time on the street. Occasionally, a few wild dogs ran by, screamed miserable pills, then clamped their tails, hid in the corner, and then connected.

These beasts also noticed the abnormality of the atmosphere.

In the Tai Chi Hall, there was a silence. Cao Yi and Wang Jingluo were still sitting on the heads of the ministers, but behind them, there were two more guards wearing swords, pressing their hands on the hilt and staring at them.

The target in front of them was afraid that if the two of them had any abnormal movements, they would unceremoniously pull out the knife and put it on their necks.

Cao Yi and Wang Jingrui, the head of the former glorious civil and military general, placed their hands on their knees, closed their eyes and said nothing, as if they had accepted their fate. Seeing the appearance of the two, the ministers in the hall were silent, even these two people

All have been taken down, and the others dare to say anything, but I am afraid that the one sitting on the top will be a slight dissatisfaction with the Nine Clans. Although outside the city is the world of the Northern Army, now

In the capital, Qin Rouniang wanted the life of a person or even a family, but it was still as easy as crushing a little ant to death.

The Tiger Guard was destroyed. This news was like a hurricane, sweeping away the little thoughts of all the people who were lucky in the capital.

Su Can was back, but only more than a thousand people came back with him. All 50,000 tiger guards were destroyed on the more than 100 miles from Linfeng to Shangjing.

Everyone knows that the end of the world is coming.

The main forces of the Northern Expedition Army arrived at the foot of Shangjing City one by one. In the past few days, the total number has exceeded 200,000. The huge Shangjing City has been surrounded and cannot be broken.

A loud thunderous sound suddenly sounded in the sky. Immediately afterwards, everyone felt that the Tai Chi Hall seemed to have shaken a few times. Could it be an earthquake? Everyone looked up at Qin Rouniang sitting on the imperial seat in panic, but the empress dowager was still standing tall.

Thunder was still ringing, and it would be repeated every quarter of an hour or so. After several consecutive times, everyone suddenly realized that this was not thunder. This was the besieged Northern Army finally dispatched its troops for several days.

The first wave of attack began.

That was the consequence of the simultaneous firing of countless thunderbolt cannons. Even the imperial city far away in the middle of the city felt the shaking like an earthquake. It can be seen how much pressure the defense on the city wall was under at this time.

Wang Jingluo opened his eyes suddenly at the moment. He was a very experienced general. If he wanted to cause such a trembling outside, at least thousands or even thousands of thunderbolt cannons could be created at the same time.

The shock effect is not the rhythm of the other party's formal siege, it is a demonstration. This is causing irreparable fear and pressure to the defenders in Shangjing. If it is an experienced army to defend the city, there is no such thing as

The rhythmic bombardment will definitely be disdainful, but now, are there any experienced army in Shangjing? I'm afraid that the subordinates led by Old Man Qin Sheng are hiding under the walls and trembling.

However, what does this have to do with him? Wang Jingluo smiled at himself, and then the old god closed his eyes. His feet even beat the ground, secretly calculating the interval between the opponent's launches, and the Northern Army

The thunderbolt cannon's firing speed was indeed much higher than that of the same weapon. After a moment, he came to the conclusion.

"Let's go!" Qin Rounniang, who was tall and arrogant, suddenly spoke: "Go back to her yamen, each of them will do their own things, and do a good job of assisting the veteran general Qin, but if you are lazy, you will be killed immediately. Everyone should be careful

Well, the city is broken, no one can live!"

She stood up and left with her sleeves.

As if the ministers were pardoned, they all left the Tai Chi Hall. After a while, only Cao Yi and Wang Jingluo were left in the Tai Chi Hall.

"The sunshine outside is so good!" Cao Yi finally opened his eyes and looked at the brilliant sunshine outside the hall.

"Yes, I'll take a look at it for a few days. Unfortunately, there is no wine or food. Otherwise, it would be better to have a few drinks outside in the sun and drink a few drinks." Wang Jing smiled.

What is slightly different from what Wang Jingluo predicted is that the Northern Army did want to establish its authority and shock it, but the damage to the walls of Shangjing City cannot be underestimated. Shangjing City, the world's heroic city, is not the same as that of

It is an easy thing. What the Conquesting North Army now has to do is to destroy the will of the defenders in the city step by step. Therefore, this round of attacks is not just a demonstration, because they used iron bullets, which is to conquer North

Braised pork commonly known as the military.

There are not many thunderbolt cannons made of fine iron in the Battle of the North, and are basically installed on warships. This time, those transported to the capital of Shangjing were dismantled from the five-mass warships.

The red iron bombs fell on the city, causing damage that was far more than that of ordinary thunderbolt shells. What was even more dangerous was that wherever these red fireballs went, they caused a raging fire. On the first day,

The things that could burn on the city were basically burned. No one could run to the city to put out the fire under the attack of the Northern Army at all costs. He could only watch the red fireballs mixed with rain.

Among the thunderbolt shells, fly up to the city tower, ignite everything that can burn.

It’s not that Qin Sheng hadn’t thought about counterattack, but he also knew that the thunder cannons in the city were not as they were in the form of the Northern Army. Instead, once they were assembled and fixed, it was not a simple matter to move a place.

Exposing the target will inevitably lead to a blow outside the city, but Qin Sheng wanted to use him on the blade, which could cause a large amount of damage to the siege infantry of the Northern Army, but now it has no meaning to fight against the opponent.

No matter how the other party bombarded, they still had to face the walls of Shangjing that were dozens of meters high in the city. This was his last reliance. Ordinary ladders were not enough to reach the head of Shangjing. And guarding them.

He was also well prepared for all the equipment in the city. He did not have the ability to go out to fight in the field, but he was more than confident in defending the city.

The former majestic city tower of Shangjing City has now become nothing. It has shocked everyone who came to Shangjing for the first time. These majestic buildings that are enviable have turned into broken walls and wisps of green smoke in the fire.

To be promoted to the lord of the general, you must hide in the hidden hole like soldiers to avoid being hurt by the savage bombardment of your opponent.

After a day of bombing, the next day, the Northern Army began to fill in the blanks of the trenches outside the city. What was different from what Qin Sheng imagined that countless soldiers came to fill in the blanks with sandbags on their backs.

What the opponent dragged over was a long instrument that he didn't know. The continuous operation of dozens or hundreds of meters long transported the earth and stone into the trench he had worked hard to dig, and he dug it out in one hour.

The other party filled the trench smoothly in a moment.

Qin Sheng suddenly felt powerless. He originally expected that at this moment, he could use weapons such as crossbows to cause certain damage to the Northern Expedition Army that filled the trenches, which would boost the morale in the city. Now, look at it.

Come on, it's a waste of time, because the opponent's soldiers are far away from the range of the crossbow.

Another day passed, this time, the opponent finally entered his attack range. Qin Sheng let out a long sigh, watching the enemy's reckless acts and unable to fight back, finally passing by, next,

When the two soldiers meet.

The filling work finally began, and this time, the city finally started to fight back.

But the counterattack on the city meant that the soldiers had to walk up the city wall, and the suppression of the Northern Army came immediately. This time, their thunderbolt cannons were no longer solid shells, but a kind of thing they had never had

Weapons I've seen.

This weapon was just developed by the Fierce Soldier Workshop of the North Army, but it was inspired by Guo Feng's sudden idea when he was plotting against his opponent in Weizhou. They processed and refined the turbulent oil again to make it easier.

The purity is higher, then seal it in the container with sharp iron sheets, iron nails, etc., and then fire it with a thunderbolt cannon. The amount of hot oil is not large, but it can just create enough in the sealed container.

Explosion, the iron nails inside swept out with the power of the explosion, and their power was huge.

The first weapon that landed on the top of the city caused huge damage. He just landed on the edge of a crossbow. After a loud bang, the sound of chirping was endless, and then the crossbow was surrounded by the crossbow.

None of the dozen soldiers on the ground were spared, all hiding on the ground, and each of them was covered with iron nails and iron pieces. Some died on the spot, while others screamed bitterly on the ground. This small weapon

, scattered and burst out, with no trace at all, and there is no way to hide. Even if you hold a shield, you will not be completely spared.

As one bomb after another burst of these bombs broke out on the city wall, large areas of soldiers fell into pools of blood. If the thunderbolt cannon from a few days ago only hurt objects but not people, today,

These soldiers in the capital finally realized the cruelty of war. The companions who were alive just now became a bloody corpse beside them in a blink of an eye. This kind of blow is not something that anyone can accept immediately.

Zhu Zhu fell down, and unfortunately he was hit in the first wave of shooting. He had almost no place in his body, and was torn and cut all over his wounds. This little citizen who was determined to escape in the chaos,

He didn't even avoid the first wave of attacks. He had not even seen clearly what the Battle of the North Army looked like, and died quietly on the top of the city.

This blow caused heavy casualties to the soldiers operating crossbows above the city, and the fight back sporadic attacks. The Northern Army calmly filled the trenches outside one by one and went straight outside the moat.

By crossing the moat, you can attack the capital wall directly.

Meng Yaoyao looked at Shangjing City and sighed, "What a pity, if you don't try to keep this city from being damaged too much, a large amount of turbulent oil attack is the best choice."

"This is not possible. The prince must be a complete Shangjing City, not a destroyed Shangjing City full of ruins." Yao Changkun smiled.
