The guards and soldiers of the Iron Kites who attacked the city gate cheered loudly, and the remains of the city gate were quickly moved aside. Mei Le, the deputy commander of the Iron Kites in full armor, let out a muffled roar from his chest and waved the spear in his hand forward.
With one finger, the hundred heavy cavalrymen under his command went from slow to fast, ten of them galloping side by side, heading straight for the open city gate.
Behind them, the guards followed quickly. They were not worried about their own safety. The defenders on the city had no time to take care of them. In front of them, there were Iron Kites riding heavy horses to clear the way. Everyone knew that wherever the Iron Kites army arrived,
It will destroy everything in its way. Even if the defenders rush out from the dark hole of the city gate, they can't stop the crushing force of the torrent of steel.
The defenders on the gate tower began to focus on shooting at the attacking Iron Kites. In the darkness, they could see the clanking sound of the steel arrows hitting the heavy armor, accompanied by dazzling sparks. It was like holding a thumb.
Like hitting an elephant with a stone, the damage is simply not worth mentioning.
The Iron Kites cavalry charged forward at a rapid pace. The heavy armored cavalry started slowly, but once they charged, they would become faster and faster. The surging momentum alone was enough to scare the shit out of those who faced them.
The people on and off the city seemed to be a little confused. Even Su Jin watched the heavy cavalry rush into the city gate without any reaction. As soon as the figures of the ten cavalry in front disappeared into the dark door, they heard a loud rumbling sound, and in the darkness
The screams of war horses and the muffled groans of soldiers in their masks were heard; before everyone could understand what was going on, the cavalry behind them had already caught up with them. Ten cavalry followed ten cavalry, and they collapsed like dominoes, all the way to the city gate.
Outside.[
The heavy cavalry started slowly, and it was not easy to stop when they were fast. A series of collisions caused the hundred iron kite soldiers to roll on the ground like gourds; the few cavalry at the back were clever and had good riding skills. They smelled
Chang Bu Jing reined in his horse and slowed down early, but the huge inertia still threw them off the horse. They let out a long shout like flying in the clouds and mist, and smashed onto the wall beside the city gate like a cow dung cake. Although they were wearing heavy helmets,
Although he was trying to protect him, he fell so hard that his mouth was full of blood, his bones were broken, and his spleen was cracked.
"What's going on? Something happened?" Wu Zangying Pang shouted in shock after witnessing this.
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, the city gate is sealed, and the Iron Harriers directly hit the wall."
"How is it possible? In just one hour, how did they seal the city gate? Impossible, where did they get the manpower?"
"This... I'm not sure, but the guards came to report that the city gate is indeed sealed, and it's so dark inside that you can't see clearly."
"I am so angry that I attack the city, attack the city, and if I can't get through the gate, I continue to attack the city wall. We have ten times more people than they do. If we can't get in, then we are a bunch of trash."
"I obey, but... the losses are not small. Do you want to take a rest? The city is full of fires."
"Take a rest? Ten thousand people fight a thousand people and you still have the nerve to say rest? They can set fire but you can't? What about the archers? Shoot them with rockets. If they can't attack, burn them to death. Damn them, a bunch of freeloading trash."
Yupang lost his composure and cursed loudly.
The situation was urgent. The sooner he captured the palace, the sooner he would take the initiative. It was not that he was eager to save anyone. On the contrary, when he learned that something had happened in the palace, his first thought was not to save the emperor and his sister, but to hope that they would all be saved.
He was killed, because in that case, he would have a lot to do after capturing the palace. If the situation allowed, he would never refuse to become the emperor. If the situation did not allow, he could just find a baby to pretend to be Li Liangzuo, and then he would be
Being an emperor is no different than being an emperor.
But everything is based on capturing the palace, killing Queen Yeli and her son, and controlling the situation in the capital. If the other party also has foreign aid, the longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it will be; he can only mobilize these ten thousand people in the capital, and the remaining
The more than 10,000 people who bet did not buy their own account at all. All these are variables.
Upstairs at the city gate, Ximu Weiming looked at Su Jin eagerly and asked in confusion: "What did Mr. Su use to block the city gate? How come even the Iron Harriers were dizzy? I didn't see you either.
Order the earth and rocks to be moved to block the city gate."
Su Jin laughed and said: "Why carry earth and rocks? Didn't we just dump out seven or eight cyclone cannons in the ordnance? It is not necessarily pits and walls that are used to stop the cavalry. Spears are the best way to stop killing, but iron
The impact of the kite army was too great, and ordinary wooden spears were probably ineffective, so I ordered my brothers to remove the iron mast of the cyclone cannon and fix it to the ground with a giant horse from the armory.
Insert the tail into the masonry and point it diagonally toward the outside of the door; the Iron Kites rush in, and naturally the iron rod hits the iron helmet, guess who will win?"
Ximu Weiming said in astonishment: "How can this be fixed? Wouldn't it be shattered into pieces under the impact?"
Su Jin frowned and said, "It's hard for me to explain to you. Do you understand the stability of the triangle?"
"What a triangle...what a thing." Ximu scratched her head and said.
Su Jin also scratched his head and said: "Well, I don't have time to explain it to you. If you are so curious, why don't you go and see for yourself. In short, Juma uses this principle. Do you know why a wooden wooden frame can separate the cavalry?
Is there anything wrong with it? That’s because Juma is a triangular stable structure, which is fixed on the ground with wooden stakes. Even if you are hit with a force of thousands of pounds, Juma can still maintain its original shape and not fall apart. Do you understand?"
Ximu Wei's name was even more confusing, and Su Jin had no time to explain too much to him.
In fact, Su Jin had no choice. Originally, the best way to prevent the city gate from being breached was to completely block the city gate hole with mud and rocks, but he did not have the time or manpower to arrange it; originally, he wanted to use these seven or eight iron rods.
He was holding the city gate, but found that this still could not stop the charging car from smashing the city gate into pieces, so he had the idea of trying it and used dozens of giant resisting horses found in the armory to secure the iron rods
It was tied to the slope that resisted the horse, and its tail was pressed into the gap between the masonry, hoping to block the impact of the cavalry.
Su Jin also thought that once the opponent was an infantry charge, these guys would be useless, so he piled a lot of tables, chairs, cabinets and cabinets found in the palace behind the horse, no matter if they were nanmu, fragrant wood or anything else.
The valuable wood will be used as a fire starter to block the enemy's attack.[
When the heavy cavalry took the lead in charging, Su Jin would naturally not order a fire. This was what he wanted to see most. If the infantry attacked, the fire could block it for a while, but it would never stop the infantry's attack. On the contrary, if there was no resistance,
With the horse in front, it is unrealistic to rely on fire alone to block the impact of the heavy cavalry. The opponent can completely disperse the fire with the force of the impact, and open the city gate passage with limited casualties.
The current situation is what Su Jin wants to see the most. Heavy cavalry are blocking the entrance to the city gate. Once the heavily armored horses fall down, they cannot get up. Coupled with the damage caused by the impact, these more than a hundred cavalrymen
There were seventy or eighty people unable to get up, which became a natural barrier at the city gate. If the enemy's infantry still wanted to attack the city gate, they would have to use bows and arrows to stop them. If that didn't work, they would light a fire. All this was just to delay time.
That's all.
"Master Su, they are shooting rockets. They are trying to imitate us. They want to burn us to death."
Su Jin laughed loudly and said: "On the same battlefield, the genius is the first to use fire, and the fool is the second. This is really not a secret. I go in and out of the palace every day. Don't you know that the front of the imperial city is empty inside and outside?"
What? Burn what? Burn mud? Hahaha."
Ximu Weiming followed and laughed. He really admired this Han official. He originally thought that Su Jin was some of Queen Yeli's personal favorites, but he was a little jealous. Now he realized that Su Jin was for Princess Ali.
When he came to help the queen, his jealousy disappeared and was replaced by contempt. It was not until he saw him chatting and laughing in the face of outnumbered enemies and not panicking in front of an enemy ten times his own that he truly admired him.
The opponent's rockets came overwhelmingly, and the defenders hid behind the battlements. The arrows pierced the night sky and landed in the open space inside and outside the city. They burned for a while and then extinguished themselves. Naturally, the palace could not be shot because of the distance.
It was too far, but the dense rain of arrows lit up several rows of green trees, like torches, burning cracklingly.
Wu Zang, Pang and others outside thought the palace was on fire, and suddenly became very excited. Under the command, the rockets fired even more fiercely.
Su Jin huddled behind the city gate tower, waiting for another attack after the rockets subsided. Suddenly, he saw two figures on the side of the hall moving quickly towards the city wall, with someone chasing after them anxiously.
The two men rushed to the bottom of the city tower in the rain of arrows, and Su Jin finally saw that one was Yeli Duanyun and the other was Li Ahli, whom he had not seen for many days.
"Hurry up and respond." Su Jin called.
Wang Chao quickly rushed out with a big shield, rushed down to protect the two people, blocked the arrows with his sword, and pulled the two people up the tower. Su Jin frowned and said: "It's so dangerous, come here to do something."
very?"
Li Ahli threw herself into Su Jin's arms and said, "I want to die with you."
Su Jin couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Why die? Isn't this good?"
Li Ahli said: "The queen mother said that if the palace cannot be defended, we will all die here, so my cousin and I came here to die with you."
Su Jin chuckled and said: "How could you die? Don't talk nonsense. You came at the right time. Look at the meteor shower all over the sky. It's a rare sight."
Yeli Duanyun said: "Where did the meteor shower come from?"
Su Jin pointed to the sky and said, "Isn't that right? In order to celebrate my reunion with Ah Li, Wu Zang Pang carefully prepared this meteor shower. Do you think it's beautiful?"
Ah Li and Yeli Duanyun were stunned. They were scared to death when they came. The rockets all over the sky were roaring. They only felt scary. They didn't feel like anything. At this time, after Su Jin said something, they raised their heads and took a closer look. Sure enough, they were full of things.
The arrows from the sky are as bright as shooting stars.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled. Su Jin held them in his arms one by one, forgetting that he was in crisis, and leaned on the railing to enjoy it.
