Chapter 228 Ningping City 1
Jin Yuan commanded the Hun cavalry to rush out from the east gate with great momentum.
Before a stick of incense, the Jin army smashed and burned, and finally demolished the Ximen. The Changshui Army dismounted the horse and fought in a field. She wore heavy armor and carried long soldiers in her hands. She stepped forward like a wall, splitting a bloody alley and rushing into the city to engage in fierce street battles with the Hu people. In other words, the Ximen had been blocked by the Jin army that kept pouring in. Those who could not get out could only break through the east gate.
The heavy city gate opened, and the Xiongnu cavalry roared out and rushed towards the Jin army lined up outside the city gate. The scene was similar to the high-pressure faucet spraying water... Yes, at this time, the corridor of the East City Gate was like a high-pressure faucet, spurting hundreds of Xiongnu cavalry out! The Jin army's Yue cavalry who turned to attack the East City Gate were all in a state of dissolution. They gave up their horses to attack the city and fought in siege. Now so many cavalry are surging, strikingly against the cavalry, and they are not even able to arrange their formation. How can they resist?
The Huns were not interested in knowing what they were thinking now, so Hun rushed over with a smile. If the Liangzhou heavy infantry or the Changshui Army who were dismounted and fought in the field outside the city gate, they would probably hesitate for a moment, but now the only guys in leather armor are standing in front of them. What else can they hesitate? Rush up and stomp them to death!
Yang Jun rushed to the horse's back at the first time——Yes, he really rushed up directly. Due to nervousness, his voice changed slightly: "Does go away!!!"
He knew very well that the Huns just wanted to break through and had no time to kill. As long as they quickly made a move, the Hun cavalry would not waste time attacking them. It is too late to escape now! The strategy of letting the enemy escape sounds a bit cowardly, but it is the only way to avoid a large number of casualties. As for letting the enemy go, it doesn't matter. They can get on the horse and chase after them after stabilizing their positions. There are only a few roads to the Fenghuang Mountain Camp. Where can the Huns run?
However, before the Yueqin took action, the ground vibrated slightly, and two loud bangs, the two wooden cannons filled with shotguns sprayed out scorching smoke, and the black gunpowder packs filled inside turned into light and heat, and a powerful shock wave, spraying the bag of shotguns weighing sixteen or seventeen pounds! The silk cloth containing shotguns was still in the cannon chamber, and the high temperature generated by the explosion of gunpowder was burned completely. The shotguns wrapped inside flew away, like inch of mist, whistling heavily at the Huns' cavalry. The speed was several times faster than the arrows left!
Then, both sides of the warring parties saw the most terrifying scene in their lives: with the two loud noises, the Hun cavalry and horses who were about to rush to the front of the Jin army were bleeding all over their bodies. Some of their arms and even their thighs were torn off by invisible big hands and threw them out. Some of their heads were broken like watermelons that were hit by someone with a blow. The sky spirit cover was lifted away, and their brains were splattered... Especially those who rushed in the front seemed to be thrown into a meat grinder. In the two loud bangs, they were beaten to pieces, and the meat even splashed directly on the Jin army's face!
With just two cannons, hundreds of Hun cavalry turned into broken corpses, or wounded men who were whining with blood all over the ground. Such killing efficiency shocked Yang Jun and fell directly from the horse's back... His war horse was frightened and ran around like crazy.
Before the matter was over, the two cannons Li Rui was in charge of ignition also sounded. Two loud bangs, two iron balls weighing six or seven pounds roared out, flew over the broken corpse, and rushed straight into the city gate corridor. Now the people in the city gate corridor were crowded with people and horses, and the lethality of these two iron balls was released to maximize the release. They rushed forward, died when they were side by side, and they were broken when they were rubbed. They plowed out two blood alleys in the rushing cavalry frenzy. A Hun officer saw an iron ball with Mars hitting him, and the speed seemed unfast. He instinctively blocked with a cavalry shield. As a result, with a bang, the cavalry shield in his hand, which was inlaid with iron leaves enough to resist the heavy arrows fired by a 120-pound arch bow was broken into wood chips, and his arms were shattered!
When the two iron balls finally stopped, more than a dozen Hun cavalry had already lying down in the corridor.
Everyone was stunned, especially Yang Jun, whose eyes almost rolled out of his sockets, staring at these wooden cannons stupidly, with his mouth so wide that he could stuff a basketball in. Even if he was killed, he couldn't believe that such a weapon made of wood actually had such terrifying power! My God, that Hu man is a good knight who is good at riding and shooting, and is fierce and warlike. That boy Li Rui just moved a torch and banged a few times to cause them to be killed and injured? I'm afraid this guy isn't magic!
The Hun cavalry showed an extremely fearful look, and the war horses were neighing wildly, and people were also shouting wildly. If Li Rui could understand the words of the Huns, they would know that they were shouting: "Thunder King is angry! Thunder King is angry!" Some people even got up by the war horses and crawled on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic!
Li Rui was not interested in what they were shouting. After lit the fire, he rushed towards the other two cannons and lit the lead with the torch. Boom! There were two loud noises, and everyone's hearts trembled violently. Two iron balls roared out and hit the city gate again, causing a bloody storm. People in the corridor were overturned, screaming trembling. Although smoke was filled with gunpowder, it was difficult to see the tragic situation in the corridor for a while, but just listening to the movement, it was not difficult to imagine what was even more terrifying happening inside.
An iron ball jumped all the way, killing and injuring seven or eight Hun cavalrymen, and finally landed on Jin Yuan's dog-headed military advisor Liang Yao, and smashed the guy's head into 17 or 18 pieces. Jin Yuan is also the number one tough character. He even did the prisoner's chest and digging out his liver and gallbladder in front of the prisoner who was still screaming. He had never seen any bloody scenes? However, when he saw his subordinates inexplicably beaten to fly blood, he was still so scared that his heart trembled. He forgot to give orders for a while, calming the troops that were indiscriminately chaotic!
This is a fatal death.
He was in chaos, but Li Rui was not in chaos. After the six wooden cannons were fired, he yelled at Yang Jun: "Why are you still standing there? Take advantage of their illness to kill them, and rush!"
The roar was astonishing as the earth, but his feet were firmly nailed to the ground and never moved at all.
At this time, Yang Jun's mind was also blank, and he couldn't tell the difference between the south and south, and north. Hearing Li Rui's roar, he responded instinctively and rushed forward with the same blank sergeant in his mind. In normal times, in their state, there was only one dead end on the battlefield. However, as the first unit in the world to enjoy the honor of cannon greeting, from Jin Yuan, the highest commander to ordinary soldiers, all the terrible power of this new weapon was frightened. His mind was also blank. Seeing Yang Jun lead the leader
Yue Qi rushed over with gritted teeth. His first reaction was not to fight, but to turn around and run. In their eyes, the Jin army was all devils, and they could take the lives of hundreds of warriors in the blink of an eye, and the devil who could die without corpses! They were all so scared that they had the courage to fight. They all hated their parents for less than two legs and ran away without their lives. When they trampled on each other, countless casualties were killed and injured. Yang Jun led his troops behind them and chopped and slashed wildly, splitting a bloody road and rushing into the city...
The East Gate, which had not been captured for a long time, was taken down for no reason.
At this point, all four city gates were taken down, and the Jin army continued to pour into the city, fighting in close contact with the Hu people who retreated into the inner city, and launched a fierce street battle. At this time, the catapults on the Laolongshan camp stopped firing, but the fear they brought to the Hu people did not disappear because of this. The Hu people were scared to death. Seeing the Jin army pouring in like a tide, many people subconsciously chose to escape. As a result, almost without exception, they were knocked down by sharp arrows or javelins shot from behind, or were caught by the Jin army, and their heads were cut off from behind. On the battlefield, the more timid the ones were, the faster they died, almost without exception.
After finally repelling the attack of the Jiehu cavalry, Sima Yue refocused on Yiyang City and was surprised to find that in just half a day, the third battalion of the Imperial Army, Liangzhou Army, Qihuo Army and other units commanded by Beigong Jing had actually broken through the four gates of Yiyang City. He couldn't help but change his expression slightly: "I attacked the city in less than a day. Is this child so capable of fighting!?"
Wang Yan said: "Not only that, they also annihilated thousands of elite cavalry led by Hu Yanyan on the ice surface of Luoshui!"
Sima Yue stared at Yiyang City where fireworks were soaring into the sky and thunderously said hatefully: "It's really hateful that child got a big advantage again!"
Wang Yan didn't say anything, obviously disagreeing with this. Beigong Jing resisted Hu Yanyan's fierce attack head-on, and wiped out his main force with his backhand, and at the same time maintained a powerful offensive against Yiyang City. What does it mean to let him get a big advantage? Does anyone pick up a bargain like this?
Of course, he also knew Sima Yue’s thoughts. Sima Yue had been suppressing Beigong Chun and his son, not because he had any grudges with the father and his son, but simply because the father and his son were unwilling to use it for him and to work for him. In Sima Yue’s opinion, the one who refused to work for him was to go against him and dared to go against him, so of course he had to kill him. Wang Bin is like this, Gou Xi is like this, Beigong Chun is like this, and Beigong Jing is even more like this. Under this twisted mentality, this old man could not stand the good things of the Beigong family. Even if Beigong Jing fought this battle very beautifully, he would not have thought that he could hear a good word from him!
However, it is no longer important how Sima Yue evaluates this battle. Even if he demoted Beigong Jing and Yang Chen to a worthless price, it would not change the end of the Jin army's attack on Yiyang City in one day. The fierce street fighting lasted until late that night. Except for a few people who fought to break through the siege by luck, the rest were either killed or surrendered by the Jin army. Even the highest commander Jin Yuan was shot several arrows by the Jin army with a bow during the street fighting. He was seriously injured. Then the head was cut off by the Han staff begging Beigong Jing with both hands as a letter of surrender and begged to surrender to Beigong Jing.
At this point, the Jin army finally recovered the important town of Yiyang. Liu Cong called Yanyan, Shi Le, and Jin Yuan to hold back the main force of the Jin army, and his plan to attack Luoyang was completely shattered.
