Chapter 443: The Great Rout


Under the head of the city, under the cover of dense bows and crossbows, the hundred soldiers finally ran to the city gate, generally speaking, the city gate and the city wall are not straight, to slightly sink a few feet, Puyang is no exception, the soldiers use the space of the invagination, the explosives against the door in turn, one by one, after leaving the explosives to run back, by the last ten people to arrange the arquebus.

For fear of accidents, five fire ropes were left, one for each person, to ensure a successful detonation as much as possible.

Detonating a thousand explosives at a time can be described as a pioneering feat, the ten people were excited, took out the fire fold and shook it in the wind, lit each of them, and then rushed away at the speed of a 100-meter sprint Everyone was full of anticipation, staring at the burning arquebus, and even some of the soldiers forgot to release their arrows.

Yang Yan shouted: "Shoot the arrow, don't stop" Then the soldiers raised their bows again and shot arrows at the city.

An inch, and an inch Five fire ropes burned towards the city gate like five fiery snakes, and at this critical moment, it was difficult to suffocate.

"General, there is a line of fire under the city burning towards the city gate" The smoke from the smoldering fuse alarmed the city, and immediately someone risked death to look down, and saw the five fire snakes slowly burning towards the city gate, even if they didn't understand what was going on, they knew that it was not a good thing, so they hurriedly reported.

"Doom" Shi Sheng didn't even want to think about it.

Some soldiers braved the rain of arrows and poured water down at the approximate location of the city gate.

"Ahh Although a few people were shot as soon as they showed up, several basins of water were poured down, and none of the five arquebuses were spared.

The worst happened, and Yang Yan's eyebrows twisted.

"General, the last general is willing to go again and light the arquebus" A chief of the firearms battalion named Zhao Da bowed his hand to Yang Yan.

Yang Yan reminded: "The fire rope is too short, it is very easy to blow yourself up, you have to think about it carefully." ” Zhao Dameng patted his chest: "How can there be immortals in battle, if the last general unfortunately dies, and there are also generals who raise their wives and children for the last general, what worries does the last general have." “ A soldier named Chen Liu also bowed his hand and said: "General, the last general Chen Liu, I am willing to go with Zhao Shi." “ "Good" Yang Yan nodded and said, "If this matter is successful, each will be promoted to three levels."

"Thank you, General" After thanking them, the two of them ran away.

At this moment, a cannon was fired, and another shot was fired at the city, so that the defenders could not lift their heads, and the two of them also slipped into the city gate.

The fire rope was poured with water, and it was not usable for a long time, and it was only about a foot left to be used for detonation, which was a very dangerous length, and after many tests, the fire rope burned at a rate of 08 centimeters per second, and at that time one foot was about 24 centimeters, which was half a minute of evasion time.

Everyone was looking at them, and both of them were nervous, their hands were shaking, but there was a click-la-la sound, and the city gate was slowly opening.

It turned out that the Eastern Navy rushed to the city gate twice in a row to light the fire, Shi Sheng was not at ease, and sent someone to open the door to see what was going on, although it was very dangerous to open the door during the battle, but he had a knife car that could block the city gate at any time.

"It's broken, the people are out."

Chen Liu said urgently.

"Hurry up and ignite" Zhao Da's forehead was oozing sweat, but the more anxious he was, the more his hands trembled, and he didn't tease him a few times, which made Yang Yan and the others look very anxious, and they couldn't replace them with their bodies.

"Zhao Shi, can you do it?"

Chen Liu's face was deformed, and he roared.

"It's done, it's done" Finally, the lead was ignited, Zhao Da wiped his sweat, and was about to beckon Chen Liu to run back, but there was a bang, the neat pile of explosives collapsed, and the city gate opened a crack several feet wide, and the two were stunned on the spot, but what was even more frightening was that there were already soldiers rushing out inside, and it was also unfortunate that the fire rope was not buried in the explosives pile, but exposed on the edge, because the burning fire was very obvious, as long as you noticed, you can step on it with one foot, and there are only two people here, and you can't protect the fire rope.

Sure enough, there were already men who had already set up arrows.

"Damn, Chen Liu, are you afraid of death?"

Zhao Dameng gritted his teeth and asked.

"Afraid" Chen Liu said without hesitation: "But we can't run away, Hengjian is dead, so let this Puyang City be buried for Lao Tzu." ” "Take care, General" Zhao Da turned around and shouted.

Yang Yan's face changed greatly, and the others were also stunned, looking at Chen Liu and Zhao Da in a daze.

These two people don't even have official names, according to the habits of poor and beloved, they are ranked in the order of birth, Zhao Da is the eldest in the family, Chen Liu is the sixth, and they are humble, and the two of them are mediocre in appearance, and their figures are not tall, but at this time, the two seem to be clothed in a layer of brilliant glow.

"Take care, General" Chen Liu's face was also full of sadness, and he arched his hand heavily.

"Good to go Yang Yan felt very unbearable, but he knew that he couldn't act rashly at this time, so he took a deep breath and returned the salute.

"Phew" An arrow crossed the pile of explosives and hit Zhao Da in the shoulder, Zhao Da shook it, looked at the fire rope, and only burned a third, then turned around, and laughed: "Slaves, Hugh is rampant, let's bury Lao Tzu" As he spoke, he stabbed the fire at Lei Guan.

Yang Yan's color changed, and he shouted: "Lie down" The crowd hurriedly fell to the ground.

"Boom" With an earth-shattering loud noise, a bright fireball flashed out, full of ten zhang high, engulfing the city gate, and exploded in an instant, bricks and stone chips dragged the tail smoke, burst out, billowing black smoke rose into the sky, a huge mushroom-shaped cloud pierced the sky, and dozens of steps within a radius were all shrouded "Boom" "Boom" This loud noise startled the war horses, and the formation of the people who were charging was immediately confused, and countless war horses neighed wildly, pouted their hooves, and jumped and jumped.

"What's going on, what's going on" Kui An took the reins of the horse, frightened, and shouted loudly, but the battlefield was already chaotic, and the horses were running wildly, as if they were crazy, and many soldiers were caught off guard and were thrown off directly.

Kui'an's horse suddenly stood alone, running on his legs, Kui'an was caught off guard and rolled off the horse on the spot, but one of his feet was still hanging from the saddle, and a long mark was dragged out of the snow.

"Evil Animals" "Evil Animals" Kui An struggled, trying to put his feet back, but how could it be so easy to be fished on the ground and run, not only was he in severe pain, but he also lost his sense of direction, Kui An could only pull back, but the more he pulled, the tighter he went.

"No" At this moment, several startled horses rushed towards him, Kui An screamed in horror, and one of them stepped down with a hoof, hitting him in the heart.

Kui An was shocked, spurting out a large mouthful of blood, and because of the force of the horse's hooves, he was fixed on the ground, and the horse in front of him was still running, when he heard a muffled bang, and one of his legs was torn off.

Blood splattered Thousands of explosives, each net weight of 333 grams, the total weight of 333 kilograms, and the power of smokeless gunpowder is greater than the TT commonly used in later generations, because of its high detonation rate, the airtight requirements for the environment are far less than the black fire kiln.

According to Yang Yan's estimates, the yield of this explosion is about equivalent to a Tomahawk anti-ship cruise missile, and the city gate is equivalent to being hit by a cruise missile When the smoke cleared slightly, everyone could barely see the location of the original city tower, and a dog-tooth-like gap with a width of ten zhang appeared, and the tall and mighty city tower disappeared, but Yang Yan did not have any joy in his heart, and led everyone to salute the gap again, and then said: "Zhao Da and Chen Liu can't die in vain, go up" "Kill" The warriors ran and rushed to the gap.

Yang Yan said again: "Yu Yao, pursue the enemy horse" "No" Yu Yao hurried away.

The war horses of the Eastern Navy have been more or less trained in explosion-proofing, and they are not as panicked as the war horses of the Qiang people, and Yang Yan also ordered the cavalry to hold the war horses in advance, so there was not much chaos, and the soldiers stepped on their horses one after another, and chased and killed the Qiang people in groups of three or five.

In fact, it's not that they don't want to fight, but they can't fight, the horses are frightened, and they run aimlessly.

What's more, that huge explosion, for the karma people, is not hesitant to collapse the heavens and the earth, only the gods can have such power, how can mortals go against the gods Therefore, as long as he controlled the horse slightly, his first reaction was to run north, although some of the fierce men planned to stay and fight, but his companions were fleeing, and he could not escape As a result, one fled ten, ten fled hundreds, and finally developed to the point that the whole army broke and fled.

When the foot soldiers climbed the city wall from the gap, looking from both sides of the blown up city wall, there were no survivors within a radius of 20 zhang, and within 50 zhang, most of them were shocked to death, and blood flowed out from the mouth and nose, even if some were not dead, it was also a painful struggle.

And the section of the city wall that was about ten zhang wide was blown up, and I don't know how many corpses were buried in the soil and rocks.

Looking further into the city, the people were fleeing, throwing away their armor, riding with horses and running without horses, fleeing to the north of the city in a swarm.

"Kill" "Kill" The soldiers understood that the opportunity was rare, and shouted to chase and kill.

Everyone knows that the people are just stunned, and the natural fear of the unknown makes human beings temporarily lose their ability to think, and they instinctively want to escape and dodge, but if they come back to their senses, they may not be able to fight again, after all, Shi Sheng has 30,000 soldiers, and the loss is thousands at best, and the remaining 20,000 soldiers can definitely deal a major blow to the Eastern Navy
