Chapter 146 Frontal battle!

After the captain dispersed everyone, he took a few steps back, and then tried his best to throw the fire brokers in his hand into these cloth bags!

"boom!"

A deafening loud noise rang out on the entire battlefield. At this time, each of the Ningzhou soldiers under the city was shocked and their ears were numb. Even the imperial guards on the city wall were stunned by the loud noise and stood there.

The ignited Ningzhou Army Pioneer Camp and several Ningzhou Army soldiers who were relatively close to the city gate were instantly blown away by a huge force when the loud noise was heard and flew several meters away!

Among them, the ignited captain was the worst injured by the shock wave, and blood had already bleeded from the corner of his mouth.

The west gate of the capital is full of smoke.

Before the smoke of gunpowder had dissipated, the imperial guards on the city wall also reacted and still threw thunder under the city wall.

After a long time, the thick smoke wrapped around the West City Gate dissipated, revealing the current appearance of the West City Gate!

At this time, the Xicheng Gate was twisted by a strange force, revealing the mahogany material of the city gate itself. At the same time, several huge cracks appeared on the city gate. The originally closed city gate was pushed open by this huge force. The latch on the door behind the door was also twisted by this strange force, revealing a gap that could probably allow two people to pass through!

At this time, the city gates are generally very tall and unlikely to use pure metal. On the one hand, it is too heavy, and on the other hand, the integrated molding process is not easy and it is difficult to transport. Therefore, the general city gates are wooden doors, with a layer of red paint, and some big city gates will be nailed with iron and copper nails on the outside.

The gates of the capital are made of good mahogany. Although they are extremely thick and strong, even if they are siege hammers, they are difficult to break open. However, they were blown up by almost 800 kilograms of gunpowder and did not split on the spot. They were already very amazing.

Of course, the reason why it was not completely exploded is because the power of these gunpowders is not concentrated. If you have the conditions to dig a hole under the city gate and make a serious blasting point, there is no problem with 800 kilograms of gunpowder to open mountains and crack rocks. It is definitely not difficult to overturn a city gate.

Although the effect of "blasting" was not ideal, the effect was enough. A gap that could enter and exit was already blown up. Under the cover of the firepower of the catapult cart in the distance, the people from the Pioneer Camp rushed into the gap in just a few breaths. After these four or five people entered the city gate, they did not think about rushing into the city at the first time, but worked together to pull out the door bolt that had been twisted and broken from the door hole!

Because the city gate is huge, this door latch is no different from an ordinary small tree. In addition, it has been deformed and twisted and stuck in the door hole. With the joint efforts of the five people, the door latch was just pulled out a little bit!

However, there were originally guards behind the city gate. Although these people were blown away by the huge force of gunpowder, other imperial guards soon reacted. When the five people worked together to pull the door bolt out, a team of dozens of imperial guards had already supported them from outside!

At this time, about 10 or 20 soldiers of the Pioneer Battalion came in from the entrance of the cave. The twenty people looked at the Gyeonggi Imperial Army who were rushing over. One of the Pioneer Battalion teams was removing a thunder from their waists, ignited it and threw it into the imperial guards array. Then he pulled out his sword from his waist and gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers, stop them!"

"Stop them and buy time for the brothers behind you. Once the city gate is opened, the battle will be won!"

The rules of the Southwest Army are that at the level of the team, no matter whether they are from the Firearms Battalion or not, they will be given a thunder. Now the thunder in his waist has been thrown out, so he can only draw his sword and fight to the death!

The people on both sides had red eyes, either holding knives, or holding guns and spears, shouting and killing each other.

The imperial guards over there were also shouting loudly: "The thief has come in through the city gate. Be sure to block them and close the city gate!"

"Care with me!"

Two groups of people were fighting very fiercely in the city gate.

Fortunately, with the help of later generations, the five people who entered the city quickly pulled out the distorted door bolt from the city gate hole. After pulling out the door bolt, the five people pushed hard, and the heavy west gate of the capital city finally slowly opened!

The Ningzhou army, who had already rushed to the city gate, suddenly became energetic and shouted loudly: "The city gate is open, the city gate is open!"

"Get into the city, go into the city!"

For a moment, morale was greatly boosted, and Ningzhou troops rushed towards the Xicheng Gate one by one!

Seeing this, Li Shuo from the rear also decisively ordered the firearm to advance.

The Ningzhou Army was outside the capital for more than two months and finally entered the capital for the first time.

Li Shuo, who was commanding behind, ordered tactical arrangements, turned around and walked to a high slope, bowed slightly to Li Xin who was watching the battle on the high slope: "General, the west city gate is broken."

Li Xin put down the Qianli Milestone in his hand and said calmly: "I saw it."

"The speed at which Ningzhou Army opened the Xicheng Gate was similar to what I had expected in advance."

Because of the existence of firearms, the walls of the capital have never been difficult for Li Xin. In fact, two months ago, he had the ability to open the Xicheng Gate of the capital like today.

The problem is that people in the capital are not quails waiting to be slaughtered. It is not difficult to enter the capital. The difficult thing is how to defeat the 200,000 imperial guards in the capital after entering the capital!

The number of soldiers in the Southwest is too small to withstand too much consumption. When there is also thunder on the other side, Li Xin estimated that even if the Southwest Army can win the imperial guards, it will not have the spare energy to occupy the capital again.

This is also one of the reasons why he hesitated for two months and did not take action.

Li Shuo stood behind Li Xin and lowered his head and said, "General, the city gate has been broken. How to fight next? Please give me instructions."

Li Xin looked at the fierce battlefield in front of him and frowned slightly: "I only have one sentence, I don't want to enter the imperial city, but the momentum is as high as possible, and people should try to die as little as possible."

"Don't fight against the enemy head-on. If the situation is wrong, please withdraw temporarily. We have enough gunpowder. We can blow up the city gate once and then blow up the second time."

Speaking of this, Li Xin looked at Li Shuo and said slowly: "I only have these requirements. As for how to fight, you can do it yourself."

Li Shuo took a deep breath and lowered his head slightly to Li Xin: "General, what if our Ningzhou army had the ability to enter the imperial city?"

General Li was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly: "Then the Great Jin Dynasty really should be destroyed."

"If you want to try, you can also give it a try, but I can only give only half of the Ningzhou Army to be killed or injured. If half of the Ningzhou Army dies and can't see the shadow of the imperial city, don't die in vain."

Speaking of this, Li Xin looked up at the sky.

This is the best time of the day.

He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then slowly said, "Today's battle must be fought until night. I will arrange for someone to sneak into the city at night."

Li Shuo nodded silently: "I understand the end."

After saying that, he turned around and left, and went down to command the battle.

Li Xin stood alone on this high slope, muttering to himself as he looked at the capital city with artillery fire in front of him.
