Chapter 478
"Okay!" Zou Shuangwen waited for the buzzing sound in his ears to calm down for a moment before he exclaimed this admiration. He was indeed using money to smash Xiangning City. The heavy rusher alone cost 45,000 taels of silver. Moreover, this time, the Blood Qi Army only brought one, and because there were too many parts and heavy parts, it was not assembled. It was not until the attack on Xiangning City that everyone proposed that in order to ensure that they could fight in one battle, they would put this monster together. They were originally going to use it in a difficult situation when the city was not good, but unexpectedly, Zou Shuangwen used it indifferently.
The huge explosion sound, the extremely powerful explosion shock wave, the scorching airflow and scattered metal fragments caused permanent damage to Xiangning City. The city gate completely disappeared, the entire gatehouse collapsed, and the entire section of the city wall was burning violently. The turmeric oil that had not yet burned in the explosion just now was playing a powerful role. If it weren't for the limited number of turmeric oil, it could almost burn the entire section of the city wall into powder.
"The heavy infantry has a reserve team, right?" Zou Shuangwen asked. However, he had no more orders in this situation. Seeing the collapse of Xiangning City's gate into a group of ruins, the front-line troops who also recovered from the shock had already reacted. Two heavy infantry yards had gathered at the city gate, and the light infantry had begun to climb to the city gate, assault, clear obstacles, and facilitate heavy infantry assault. Heavy infantry is a very powerful army, but it is also a very limited army. The Blood Qi army has deeply rooted in the concept of reasonable mobilization and matching of the troops into its core.
On the contrary, Xiangning City was in chaos, with many middle and senior officers gathered on the city tower, and several gentry and celebrities in the city were cooperating with the officers to arrange the civilians who stayed in the city and organize the work of delivering supplies. At this moment, these people were never spared, and Xiangning City, which had never encountered such a thing, had morale fallen to the bottom. If they were only facing an army that was stronger than them, had received better training and were equipped with better equipment than them, they would not be afraid of this. After all, they were defending their country and defending their hometowns. The idea of breaking out is enough for them to explode.
Exporting greater power than usual. However, the situation is completely different now. The Blood Qi Army not only surpassed the defenders of Xiangning City in terms of military quality, but also led the weapons and equipment to a terrifying level. The Blood Qi Army's equipment has been promoted to the top of the cold weapons era by Ye Tao in the past years. Some equipment has already been included, such as the siege cars that just collapsed the city tower, which organically combined the concept of the hot weapons era and the combat methods of the cold weapons era. Without Ye Tao, these things might not have appeared in this time and space for decades or hundreds of years.
"Please surrender in sections," the adviser suggested. Zou Shuangwen nodded. Tan Yan, the guard of Xiangning City, has been killed. The highest military rank is likely to be the generals who are responsible for the defense sections of each city wall. Faced with an army like the Blood Qi Army that they cannot understand, they do not believe that they can all have the courage to fight to the end.
Sure enough, the order to accept surrender was passed to the front line. When the soldiers of the Blood Qi Army who had the absolute advantage of shouting and fighting and killing suddenly began to shout the order "Give down the weapons and surrender not to kill", a large number of vicious soldiers of the Northern Liao Dynasty left their weapons and fell to the ground one after another. Dong Daqiu, who was responsible for the defense section on the left side of the city tower, almost immediately ordered all his subordinates to disarm.
In just one hour, combining the strong extermination of the enemy who was resisting stubbornly and actively surrendering, the entire city wall of Xiangning City and some urban areas close to the city wall were already in the hands of the Blood Qi Army.
The ruins of the city gate have now become a ramp for heavy infantry to march. It turns out that the scattered heavy infantry guarding the light infantry near the city wall are all concentrated together and ready to accept orders to advance towards the center of the city. At this time, a letter from the front line: "The entire army should delay the advancement, the city is rich in ignition oil, which is very dangerous."
Explosion... The word came out from Zou Shuangwen's mind again. He noticed that the heavy equipment camp was still firing turbulent bombs into the city. After breaking through the city gate just now, the staff officer should suggest or directly notify the heavy equipment camp to stop the attack. The heavy equipment camp should also ask for instructions by itself. Zou Shuangwen looked at the staff officer suspiciously, looked at the perseverance, bloodthirst, cruelty and determination in the eyes of the staff officer. Listening to him saying "I forgot" lightly, Zou Shuangwen felt a stern heart. That was telling him that he was not going to stop this kind of attack, and was going to teach the people of Northern Liao with merciless actions.
"Don't take your own initiative." Zou Shuangwen sighed and ordered. "The heavy equipment camp will continue to shoot, the airship will lower its height, and call for persuasion to surrender. Those who are willing to surrender will immediately approach the surrounding city walls and will be incorporated by us. No personal belongings shall be carried. A quarter of an hour later, it will cause an explosion at the north gate, and then continue to persuade the surrender..."
"Yes." This order that had never been seen in the history of the Blood Qi Army was issued like this. However, this time, the Blood Qi Army accepted the order very happily.
It was really difficult to let everyone in the entire city surrender. After a quarter of an hour, they ran to various city walls and were contained by the Blood Qi army and sent out to the city to take care of them. In addition, the Northern Liao soldiers who had surrendered one after another, were only less than 30,000, which was only one-quarter of the population of Xiangning City. Zou Shuangwen verified the order that triggered the explosion without hesitation. The airship quickly took off, hovered, and accelerated... and then dropped a sulphur bomb hanging on a white parachute and immediately accelerated to leave the area.
The white parachute looked elegant and free, but as the turbulent oil bomb approached the ground, the four-petal shells on the outside were lined up, revealing the silver-white metal structure inside. The four nozzles sprayed fine turbulent oil bomb droplets outward, and the droplets were ignited. The entire turbulent oil bomb exploded in a low altitude like a fire cloud, and the entire area near the north gate exploded.
The power of the explosion is not very great, but as long as the concentration of oil and gas in the air reaches a certain level, it will definitely leave people in the explosion range without any escape. The brilliant and gorgeous effect of the explosion and the thunderous waves delay in all directions, as if they want to blow everything away, will make all those who know and are strangers who are also afraid of the explosion.
"The airship came to the observation report..." The messenger sent a document.
Zou Shuangwen took the document and pressed on the table in front of him without taking a look, saying, "I don't need to report, I will conduct the second round of surrender."
This time, no one doubted the determination of the Blood Qi Army to smash the entire city. After hesitating for a moment, the people hiding in the house walked out one after another, and the people hiding in various corners left their things and walked towards the city wall closest to them. About an hour later, several local gentry and the middle and senior officers involved finally stood in front of Zou Shuangwen and officially surrendered to the Blood Qi Army.
Xiangning City stocked up a lot of things, including a large amount of food, weapons and the blood Qi army that had begun to be a little tight. The strong horses of the Northern Liao army were certainly due to the breed, but thanks to the careful breeding of the Northern Liao army, the Northern Liao really had a set of horses in service. Although the horse materials seemed rougher than the bean materials of the Blood Qi army, they were considered fine. The Blood Qi army left a battalion to take care of the prisoners, and after the oil and gas dissipated, the residents returned to the city in batches. Another battalion quickly cleared various supplies from Xiangning City and replenished the needs of the Blood Qi army as soon as possible. It was their job to take care of the wounded, clean up the bodies of the dead, and arrange funerals for the fallen soldiers of the Blood Qi army. The Zou Shuangwen Department almost immediately began to reorganize and repair, preparing to rush to Ye Tao's troops to support Ye Tao's troops.
Before the battle was over, the cavalry, scouts and some of the heavy equipment battalions began to move towards Ye Tao's troops. The cavalry and scouts cavalry have always moved very quickly. In addition, they had nothing to do with this battle, and they had always preserved good physical strength. At the end of the battle, they almost ran dozens of miles. The heavy equipment battalion had to rest on the spot for a while because of the high-intensity combat intensity, but they still took turns to pack all the crossbows and loaded the turret bombs onto the carriage, and the team lined up to rest in line after the marching configuration requirements. Basically, two hours later, they could stand up and leave. Zou Shuangwen himself handed over all the aftermath of Xiangning City to his subordinates, and took the staff and the guards of the military commander and the military commander to set out first. Whether in terms of military affairs or personal friendship with Ye Tao, he could not allow Ye Tao to have any problems.
The attack in Xiangning City was the hottest and domineering time in the history of the Blood Qi Army. In order to win enough time to rescue Ye Tao's troops, although Ye Tao was quite far from the qualifications of the Blood Qi Army such as Zou Shuangwen in specific tactical command, he was indeed a good commander, and he was even a man who could use various advantages in the open space. Although he was facing an unknown number but at least several times his own enemy, under Ye Tao's arrangement, the situation was far less nervous.
