Chapter 533: Howling in despair...

The gravel and shrapnel that flew over from time to time made their armor hang out of damage. In their desperate pupils, balls of flames were flashing there, and a wave of strong wind-like shock waves made the Qing dragon flag poles standing on the city wall fold. The ears could not hear any sound, and the choking smoke began to extend sideways towards the city wall.

Just as the explosion that resounded through the world came, Qianlong and the important officials who were discussing matters in the Yangxin Palace couldn't help but feel their hearts thrilled. Qianlong rushed out of the Yangxin Palace. The ministers behind him all turned pale, and no one spoke, and they all followed Qianlong's footsteps silently.

After Qianlong stood up at the height, he could already see the red and black storm like purgatory rising up the Chaoyang Gate. The mushroom clouds that were more than a hundred feet high rose slowly, as if millions of evil ghosts were crying and howling in the clouds. Qianlong, standing high in the imperial city, looked pale like the white marble railing with his hands. "God..." Qianlong's mood seemed to be dragged into the eighteenth floor of hell at this moment. If Heshen and an eunuch standing beside him were quick, maybe Qianlong would have fallen down directly with a fight.

Heshen's face was also extremely pale at this moment, and his originally shrewd eyes were filled with fear and panic. How many people in this era can have the opportunity to see the cover-type shooting of the heavy artillery cluster in an endless section.

The explosion shocked the entire city of Beijing, especially the Yellow Banner Banners located in the northeast corner of the city. At this moment, they were all so scared that they rolled out of their homes and ran towards the imperial city, as if they wanted to stay away from the flame hell of death.

The streets, alleys and alleys are full of the descendants of the people who were more than a hundred years ago who were not worth tens of thousands of years ago and were invincible. But now, one and two were snot and tears on their faces, red marks were wiped from their foreheads, and they didn’t know how many feet they stepped on their butts. The father called their children and the daughter-in-law called their husbands. What’s the difference between them and ordinary people?!

Fortunately, the Liang family army's artillery was extremely accurate. Otherwise, these thirty or forty-pounded chorionic shells would have fallen into those alleys. With one shot, several houses would have been overturned, and more than a hundred lives would have been considered small.

"Run, run!" Hengrui opened his mouth and shouted loudly, but he couldn't even hear his screams. He followed a group of personal soldiers and fled towards the middle of the city wall. Even if he couldn't stand steadily, he would have to be afraid of climbing. A few of them had already shocked the shock wave and their facial features were soaked. He opened his mouth and shouted unconsciously, but seemed to feel that the whole world had lost its voice.

I don’t know how far I climbed, my palms and ten fingers were worn out. After feeling that the vibration of the city wall seemed to have been much smaller, Hengrui turned his face tremblingly and looked towards the direction of Chaoyangmen. I don’t know when the gravel or shrapnel were hanging on his face. The bloody red blood was slowly dripping along his cheeks, just like his desperate mood.

It seemed as if after a century of time, the shelling finally stopped, and the world seemed to have suddenly fallen into silence, only the rolling smoke was slowly rolling up, confirming that the terrifying and courageous scene just now had happened.

The height of Chaoyang Gate was ten feet high, and the towering city gate tower had collapsed and disappeared. Even the surrounding city walls of more than ten feet were turned into loose soil. The moat in front of the city gate tower had been filled with mud and broken bricks. The area of ​​the city gate tower formed a trapezoidal slope. On the slope, there were several burning citron heads inserted diagonally into the soil, emitting rolling smoke.

There was no flag that was originally filled with the city gate tower. As for the soldiers guarding near the city gate tower, there was no trace of ghosts. There were only those broken bones and bone stubble that flew ten feet or even dozens of steps away, as well as those broken limbs and arms that proved the existence of someone.

The unfired cannons on the top of the city had long been blown to pieces, and a thousand-pound cannon even flew into the city, smashing the streets covered with yellow mud to sink about a foot.

In a word, the Chaoyang Gate, which had been towering since the Yuan Dynasty, turned into a pile of ashes under the crazy bombardment of the 850 artillery guns within about a quarter of an hour.

It was shocking, absolutely shocking. Not to mention the bombardment of eight hundred heavy artillery, even the power of eighty heavy artillery was enough to shake a hundred miles. Looking at the Chaoyang Gate, which had been razed to the ground, looking at the excited cheering subordinates behind them, and their expressions that were shocked so much that they were shocked. Liang Pengfei felt a sense of pride in his heart.

"The power of the God of War and the power of the concentrated use of artillery is indeed not covered." Liang Pengfei looked at the artillery position located far behind him, which was still rising in the smoke. Later generations were about to shuttle on the battlefield, and he had never seen more than ten artillery fired volleys. Even on TV and movies, the arranged scenes made you feel excited to see twenty or thirty artillery firing empty shells there. Now, the power of the 850 artillery is really... a bit beyond Liang Pengfei's expectations, and even beyond Li Pao Ge's expectations, a little more than a quarter of an hour earlier than the original planned time.

"Your grandma, I wouldn't have wasted the waves of artillery fires in the future." Brother Li Pao took the telescope away from his eyes in disappointment. Brother Li Pao took off the earmuffs and turned around, and said to the brigade staff beside him.

"There is no way. I thought the wall of Beijing was far stronger than the wall of Fuzhou. Besides, the young master made a big fuss and had to flatten both gates in an hour. If we don't do it, we should wait until the young master wrote the name upright and smashed it on our forehead." The brigade staff officer next to him also looked slutty, and these words made Brother Li Pao laugh and sneer.

""Transfer direction, turn southwest, target, Dongzhimen, ten minutes to prepare!" Brother Li Pao laughed twice and issued a new order. The artillery command flags were waving one after another, and the artillery rangefinders were also busy in a nervous and orderly manner. He began to slowly aim the 850 hideous mouths of the ferocious beasts at the more solid city gate in Dongcheng, Beijing: Dongzhimen

Dongzhimen is a city gate located on the north side of the east wall of the inner city of Beijing. It mainly includes the Dongzhimen Tower, the Dongzhimen Arrow Tower, the Dongzhimen Gate Tower and the Wucheng City. Compared with Chaoyangmen, which only has one city tower, it is simply a building complex.

After seeing the tragic situation of Chaoyang Gate, the Eight Banner soldiers who were originally staying on the Dongzhimen Tower saw the tragic situation of Chaoyang Gate, they all threw the big sword, spear, crossbow arrow in their hands all over the floor, just like they saw a duck chasing the ghost.

No matter how Ren Na Yimian scolded and scolded him, he couldn't stop him. More than 3,000 people squeezed Na Yimian and his personal soldiers aside and ran downstairs.

"It's over, it's all over." Looking at the tragic situation of Chaoyang Gate, and then seeing that all the soldiers under his hands ran away, the white-flag chieftain also ran away. Yi Mian's face turned dead gray, she pulled out the long sword from her waist and was about to wipe it around her neck. However, she was stopped by the personal soldiers under her hands and winked at each other.

"Sir, let's go quickly. Let's go and recover the turtle-boys who escaped in the battle. If they don't go, it's too late." The soldiers coaxed and persuaded each other, and half dragged and pulled General Yi down the city tower.

When the screaming rain of bullets came over the vast Dongzhimen City Gate complex, not to mention people, even a mouse disappeared. In less than ten minutes, the smoke from the Chaoyangmen area had not yet dissipated, and the temperature of the broken limbs and arms had not yet dropped. Dongzhimen was hit by the terrible artillery fire again. The heavy shells made the entire Dongzhimen complex completely shrouded in the smoke and artillery fire.

"Emperor... Chaoyang Gate, Chaoyang Gate is gone." A guard who rushed over hurriedly knelt far away before he rushed to Qianlong's side. "The yellow flag in the northeast is already in chaos."

"It's gone, I know. Heshen, as the admiral of the Nine Gates, you have the responsibility to send troops to suppress it immediately. No one can panic. Take the opportunity to deliberately spread rumors and deceive those who are ulterior motives, and punish them!" Qianlong's eyes fell on Heshen's face.

Looking at Qianlong's wrinkled old face, there was indescribable despair and madness at this moment, Heshen couldn't help but chill and quickly knelt down. "Slave obeys the order."

"You will also quickly leave the palace to appease the hearts of the people, calm the public's grievances, and move the people in the Dongzhimen and Chaoyangmen to a safe place. Go quickly! Where are the ministers in the commander's guards... All guards should strengthen the guards of the imperial city, and those who are suspicious people approaching the palace will be punished!"

"Slaves (members) obey the order."

"Go all, Yongyan, help me back to the palace, I'm tired..." After Qianlong gave the order, he put his arm on the hand that Yongyan reached out, and all his strength seemed to have been drained. If the eunuch and Yongyan were not strong, perhaps the group had turned into a rolling gourd.

"Emperor, don't have anything to do. The Qing Dynasty has to rely on you." Seeing that Qianlong's legs were not even able to stand, his face turned gray like the dying man, Yongyan cried out.

"Shut up, I'm not dead yet!" Qianlong gritted his teeth and glared at Yongyan fiercely as if he was looking at his father-killing enemy. The crazy eyes scared Yongyan so much that he even swallowed the conversation back to his throat.

"The Qing Dynasty is not over yet, our Qing Dynasty will not over. The king-stricken army is almost here. As long as our capital can hold on for a few more days, Liang Pengfei will not die well!" Qianlong howled like a dying lone wolf.
