After so many days of silence, the Tang army began to attack Beiyuan City in a real sense for the first time. This attack was devastating.
Just one strategic bombing turned Beiyuan City, a hell on earth, into a hell on earth in another sense.
The few stone buildings collapsed in the explosion, and although most of the numerous wooden houses were still intact, they were more or less damaged.
The Tang Army did not use incendiary bombs, mainly because the Tang Army did not intend to use this cruel method in Beiyuan City, a place that would definitely belong to them.
Countless 250 kilogram bombs left dense craters throughout the city, leaving this city that had never been attacked until now devastated.
Beiyuan City did not even have an air raid shelter or any modern defense measures, so the losses it suffered were simply immeasurable.
Due to the possible takeover, the industrial parts stacked on the outskirts of the city are relatively well preserved. After all, they are not the main areas for bombing.
On the other hand, the residential areas and port dock areas where the Mirage army is most entrenched and most dependent are given priority.
After the Flying Fortress bombers carpet-bombed the entire Beiyuan City, the Tang Army's Stuka dive bombers focused on taking care of the port area, completely turning it into ruins.
The transport ship that had no time to leave the dock was sunk directly next to the dock, and several busy docks were completely destroyed.
Beiyuan City's sea defense forts were also attacked by aerial bombs. Those long-outdated front-loaded shore defense artillery guns, which were not as valuable as the bombs, were blown up by the bombs on the huge gun emplacements.
To say how backward the fort in Beiyuan City is, it is not necessarily true. When the fort was built, Qi State was very concerned about it. They also deliberately spent a lot of money to let Cyric's engineers experiment with some new ones.
technology.
For example, a heavy front-loaded artillery is equipped with a base that can quickly adjust the shooting direction. A very complex structure made of fine steel is used underneath.
As a result, these dark, heavy and huge coastal defense guns became perfect targets for Stuka dive bombers.
As long as you dive like this, the bomb will most likely hit the fort directly, which is convenient and quick.
The Mirage army was not prepared for such an air defense operation at all. Although they already had some camouflage nets and other equipment, the usable scope focused on peripheral defense positions and did not use them on these large military targets.
To put it bluntly, they never expected that the Tang army would be willing to destroy the defense facilities and ports built by Qi State on a large scale.
But for the Tang army, bombing the docks and coastal defense forts was actually the most cost-effective way of attack.
Do you still remember the reconstruction project of Dongwan Port? According to the development model of the Tang Dynasty, the most worthless things in an old city are the city walls and forts, as well as the small and small port docks built in the past that are not easy to be reconstructed.
In order to rebuild Dongwan Port according to the standards of the Tang Dynasty, they demolished the city walls and forts and rebuilt the port pier.
Now, attacking these ports and terminals to destroy these targets in advance and directly kill the Mirage army is definitely a cost-effective business for the Tang Kingdom.
So the terrifying howl of the Stuka dive bomber sounded again over Beiyuan City. When bombing this city, you don't need to consider the flight speed or the range. Shock and fear-mongering have been raised to a more important position.
.
Therefore, the Stuka dive bombers that attacked the port terminals were all early models, all equipped with the howling device, and the terrifying sound began to become a lingering nightmare for the mirage army.
In Beiyuan City, some secret rumors began to spread. People in Qi State were spreading that the Tang army would come to rescue them soon and save them from disaster.
However, some people are also questioning such rumors. Some Qi civilians who have lost their family members feel that if these Tang people came to save them, they would not blow up their relatives to death.
However, there are still more people who believe that they are just attacking the mirage people, and they were only affected because they were betrayed by the second prince.
"Send me away! Send me to the Mirage Country! I'm going to the Mirage Country! It's too dangerous here! People here want my life!" In the room, His Highness the Second Prince, who was already a little mentally disturbed, said
He was losing his temper with Mirage Wenxi who came to visit him.
Mirage Wenxi, who was originally sent by Mirage Kingdom to take charge of people's livelihood, sat there without saying a word, looking at several naked beauties from Qi Kingdom behind the second prince.
He liked these human beauties with smooth jade-like skin very much, they were much prettier than those crooked melons and cracked jujubes from the Mirage Kingdom.
Seeing Mirage Wenxi's devilish gaze, several women timidly grabbed the quilts next to them and covered their bodies.
Naturally, the second prince also saw the other person's eyes. He felt that he was being cheated, and his whole body became manic because of this.
But he didn't dare to get angry at the person in front of him, because he knew that this might be his only chance to escape to the Mirage Kingdom and continue to live happily.
Mirage Wusanlang, who replaced Mirage Wuyuan here, was even more difficult to talk to. Jiang Zhi didn't even want to see the Mirage general who felt uncomfortable every day unless he harmed several Qi people.
At least, the mirage civil servant in front of him was not violent enough to draw a knife and chop him to death at the slightest disagreement.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Jiang Zhi's expression changed again and again, and finally stayed on the smile.
He pointed at the woman behind him, showed a look that he didn't care about, and said magnanimously: "As long as you arrange a boat for me and let me go, they will be yours! How about it? There are more
!I have many women here, all for you!"
Mirage Wenxi dismissed this kind of promise. If he wanted these women, he only had to say hello and there was no need to exchange anything with Jiang Zhi.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When they heard that Jiang Zhi wanted to give them to the goblins, the women were so frightened that they turned pale, but they did not even dare to cry.
Compared with the goblins, Jiang Zhi who occupied them just looked like a human being. In terms of the level of cruelty, he was actually no different from the goblins.
"Your Majesty, King Qi, you have misunderstood. It's not that we won't arrange for you to leave, but... this is your territory. As the king, you can't leave your last land, right?" Wenxi showed a sly smile.
, opened his mouth and said to Jiang Zhi.
"What bullshit King Qi? When did you think of me as the real King of Qi?" Jiang Zhi yelled: "Let me go! I just want to save my life, don't you all agree?"
"Your Majesty, King Qi, please calm down. The foreign ministers will definitely ensure your safety. Please rest assured." Mirage Wenxi smiled with a smile on her face, as if she really regarded Jiang Zhi as the king of a country.
But even if Jiang Zhi was frightened crazy by the Tang army's bombing, he was not really stupid. Of course he knew that the Mirage had never regarded him as the king of Qi, nor even regarded him as a partner for cooperation.
While he was talking, another rumble of artillery was heard outside. This was the sound of the Tang army's heavy artillery bombarding the city wall at the edge of the city.
With the collapse of the city wall, the ground was trembling slightly. The Mirage army outside the city had begun to retreat into the city, and the Mirage side had also begun to waver.
Without the dock, they could no longer get any decent supplies. On the other hand, they could not organize a large-scale retreat.
The Stuka dive bombers with bombs hanging on them hovered from sunrise to sunset. In fact, the large ships of the Mirage Kingdom no longer dared to approach Beiyuan City.
Only at night, some small sampans and other tools were used to transport some important supplies into the city, and then bring out some so-called seriously injured people.
In fact, no seriously injured people left, and what was transported away was nothing more than the wealth of the Qi State. Moreover, these wealth have now become the private property of the high-ranking officers of the Mirage State.
Without these gold and silver jewelry, without these antiques, without these gold coins and treasures, who would be willing to stay in Beiyuan City and work hard?
"Let me go! Please!" Hearing the sound of cannons in the distance, Jiang Zhi collapsed again. He knelt down in front of Mirage Wenxi, hugged Mirage Wenxi's waist and howled.
stand up.
Mirage Wenxi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the second prince of the former Qi Kingdom in front of him would get into this situation and even lose his face.
Just when he was about to say a few words of comfort to this man, the Mirage guard outside the door opened the door and said, "Sir, there is a fight over at the pier."
As a result, Mirage Wenxi ignored the second prince with a runny nose and hurried to the dock with his people. What he saw was a fierce fight between a group of policemen and the defenders of the dock.
The second prince is not the only one who wants to leave. Those officers and soldiers of the Mirage Kingdom who came here earlier to take advantage of the situation, but now find that this place is simply hell, no longer want to stay here.
They wanted to leave, but found that the dock was destroyed and there were few ships and they could not dock, so they suddenly started to make a fuss.
These people stole a lot of treasures and money in Beiyuan City. After all, they were bandits who came here earlier. Originally, they wanted to pay some bribes to show their respect, and then fled back to the country by boat to sell the stolen goods.
But now they were told that no one could leave, which immediately ignited their anger. So the two sides started fighting, and it turned into a fierce street shootout.
Because both the defenders and the rebels only had rifles, the gun battle was not as bloody as expected.
This is more like a large-scale American-style party, most of them are noisy, you shoot me, I shoot you, and then more people join, you shoot us, we shoot
One shot for you.
By the time Mirage Fumiki and the furious Mirage Takesaburo arrived, the gunfight had actually subsided, leaving only a pile of corpses scattered on the ground.
