Chapter 404 Break the city! Break the palace!(2/2)
"explode?"
Wang Xiangyun said to himself.
Wang Xiangyun didn't have much concept of explosion. Therefore, when the deputy general rolled and crawled away from the city tower, Wang Xiangyun was still standing there stupidly.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a loud bang came, shaking the earth and shaking the earth.
As a violent ball of fire burst out, the east gate of Qingzhou City was blown up.
The prefect of Qingzhou Prefecture Wang Xiangyun was right above the east gate and was blown to pieces and completely disappeared. Hundreds of Ming soldiers were buried in the ruins with him. When the smoke of the big explosion gradually dissipated, the entire east gate of Qingzhou Prefecture had collapsed. Then, a large amount of gravel poured into the moat, completely intercepting the moat. The road leading to the city was opened.
"superior!"
Liu Jixiang screamed excitedly.
Damn it, finally exploded Qingzhou City. Otherwise, the Third Battalion would be really embarrassed this time. Sitting on the horse's back, he actually forgot the most basic blasting skills, and he was going to be laughed at. Fortunately, the Third Battalion finally fulfilled his mission and successfully exploded Qingzhou City.
"withdraw!"
"Retreat to the palace!"
King Heng Zhu Youque was lucky enough to be uninjured and hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of troops.
The remaining defenders hurriedly retreated to the Heng Palace. At the same time, some defenders also fled to the Ximen. Because they suddenly discovered that the Hu Ben Army was just attacking the East Gate, but there was no movement in the West Gate. It seemed that the Hu Ben Army adopted the tactic of surrounding three and missing one, deliberately leaving a way to escape for them to escape. Sure enough, the Ming army, who found that there was a way to live, immediately fled westward.
"asshole!"
"Where are you running away?"
"Retreat in the direction of the royal palace!"
Zhu Youqi shouted loudly in a frustration.
However, his voice was soon drowned in a mess.
Zhu Yousuo sent someone to intercept these Ming troops, but never blocked them. Isn’t this asking for death if you stay in the palace with you? If the Hu Ben Army blocked all the city gates and stayed in the palace of Heng, there was only one way to die! Those who didn’t run away at this time were fools! Only those guards of the palace were still mostly staying. There was no way, Zhu Youque had to take his own guard and continue to fight stubbornly in the palace of Heng.
At this time, the most painful thing in the city was probably the wealthy families who escaped from Laizhou Prefecture. They never thought that Qingzhou City would be captured so quickly. They originally thought that Qingzhou City could hold on for about five days, but they did not expect that they would be captured by the Hu Ben Army in less than a morning. At this time, even if they wanted to evacuate, it was too late. The only thing they could do was hide and pray for God's blessing?
What?
Fighting with the Hu Ben Army?
Don’t joke, even Wang Xiangyun was beaten to death, and they were still fighting with the Hu Ben Army in the streets? Do you think you didn’t die fast enough? With their combat effectiveness, can you fight against the Hu Ben Army?
At this moment, they all regretted it very much. If they had known this, what would they run away? What would they run away? If they ran away, they would eventually fall into the clutches of the Hu Ben Army. If they had known that the Hu Ben Army was so powerful, they would rather just surrender to the Hu Ben Army. Even if they wanted to scatter all the fields under their name, they would not have lost as much as they are now. It would be great that they could survive now. I regret it, I regret it, they really regret it.
In fact, when the news of Gao Hongtu's surrender to Zhang Zhun came, they regretted it very much. In fact, if you think about it seriously, Zhang Zhun's policy is not so terrible, nor is it completely unacceptable. The 50 acres of land per person can be met as long as it is distributed to their nephews. As for paying 40 kilograms of rice per acre as a tax, it is indeed heartbreaking, but compared with now, I don't know how many times better. I can still live a comfortable life if I accept Zhang Zhun's conditions. If I don't accept Zhang Zhun's conditions, I can't even make a dog with a broken family. What's the reason for it?
"Run!"
"Run!"
"Run!"
Xie Zhiyou took the lead and rushed into Qingzhou City first.
At this time, there was still pungent smoke near the gap, and I couldn't breathe at all. Xie Zhiyou completely relied on holding his breath and rushing through the smoke. On the ruins, there were some Mingjun who were blown up in confusion, bleeding from his seven orifices. He looked at Xie Zhiyou passing by with a blank expression, without any reaction. Xie Zhiyou did not respond, ignored them at all, and entered the city directly.
Other soldiers also followed behind and entered the city. Without the barrier of the city walls, the defense of the defenders was greatly reduced, and the remaining Ming army had no possibility of resistance at all. As for the defenders in the ruins, all the subsequent troops were solved with bayonets.
At this time, Qingzhou City was already in chaos. The fleeing Ming army and the wealthy families were still resisting stubbornly. At the same time, some officials were also panicked and wanted to escape. They all hated Zhu Youque and Wang Xiangyun. They thought Qingzhou City could last for a few days, but unexpectedly, they were captured in just half a day. The Hu Ben Army entered the city and they were going to be finished.
"kill!"
"Kill the Prince Heng's Mansion!"
The soldiers of the Hu Ben Army rushed towards the street in front while shouting loudly.
The remaining Ming troops fled in the direction of the Heng Palace. The soldiers followed the pursuers and easily found the location of the Heng Palace. Soon, they were blocked by a fierce gunfire. A magnificent mansion appeared in front of them, with red walls and green roofs, and a tall archway outside. There were four stone lions under the archway. It was the Heng Palace!
The retreating Ming army deployed defense in the Hengwang Mansion and tried to continue to resist stubbornly. The guards of the Hengwang Mansion were relatively well equipped and disciplined. After retreating to the Hengwang Mansion, they quickly reorganized the front line. Of course, most people seemed terrified and uneasy. The combat effectiveness of the Hu Ben Army was too strong, and the shock they brought to them was really too strong.
"Continue to attack!"
The Hu Ben Army continued to launch an attack.
The scattered enemies in the city were quickly eliminated. The servants of those wealthy families were all defeated by the Hu Ben Army. After all, they were not professional troops, so they were not opponents of the vicious Hu Ben Army? Many people found that they had no way out and had to raise their hands to surrender. They were quickly arrested and concentrated under the city wall. Immediately afterwards, their master was also arrested.
Zhang Zhun had also entered the city and soon arrived at the location of Prince Heng's Mansion.
The Heng Palace is indeed very solid, and the red walls alone are three meters high. However, no matter how strong the Heng Palace is, it is not as strong as Qingzhou City. Therefore, it is only a matter of time to take down the Heng Palace. Zhang Zhun is not in a hurry at all. He has nothing now, and he has time.
According to Zhang Zhun's order, all the gates of Qingzhou City have been closed. None of the people in the city can escape. In other words, none of the assets they carry can escape. Especially those assets from Laizhou Prefecture, they will eventually have to go back to Laizhou Prefecture obediently.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Under the cover of dense tiger guns, the blasting team stepped forward.
Without the threat of the twelve cannons and the obstruction of the moat, it would be easier for the Hu Ben Army to place explosive packs.
Soon, five large explosive packs were placed.
"Boom!"
Not long after, a loud noise came.
In the dazzling firelight, the gate of the Heng Palace was forcibly exploded.
Chapter completed!
