Chapter 243 Capture of Xijin Mansion
"Rocket ready."
The soldier in charge of the Eight Ox Crossbow immediately used a torch to light the fire oil cloth on the crossbow.
"Ready."
The bear roared: "Shoot!"
Swish swish, swish swish.
More than a dozen rockets flew towards the direction of Xijin City.
The rocket, carrying a roaring ball of fire, plunged directly into the pile of explosive packets.
"Boom, boom boom."
Three consecutive explosions shook the sky and the earth. The soldiers of the Northern Route Army, who were more than a thousand meters away from Xijin Mansion, could feel the tremors of the earth.
Huge cracks appeared in one section of the city wall of Xijin Prefecture, and another section was blown down. Bricks and stones flew into the air, and a gap more than ten meters wide appeared in the wall.
Looking at the city gate of Xijin Mansion again, it has fallen apart at this moment, revealing the dark city gate hole. The city of Xijin Mansion is broken.
The Northern Route Army has already been watching with eager eyes.
Qin Guan waved his hand, "Attack!!!"
"Kill!"
Tens of thousands of soldiers roared and rushed towards Xijin City.
Yelu Qicai was standing above the city gate just now. The violent explosion made his ears ringing and his head was dizzy. He stood up from the ground with difficulty and looked at the Zhao soldiers rushing over. He opened his mouth and wanted to give an order to stop the enemy, but
As soon as he opened his mouth, a mouthful of blood spurted out.
The explosion just now had already shocked his heart.
He stretched out his hand to hold on to the city battlements, struggling to support his body. The corners of his mouth were still bleeding. He watched the Zhao soldiers rushing in like a wave and rushed into the city gate. He watched the Zhao soldiers rush into the breach in the city wall.
Soldiers from the two countries fought together.
Yeluqi raised his head and looked at Qin Guan, who was riding a black horse and wearing armor under the banner of "Qin" commander of the Zhao army in the distance. He couldn't see Qin Guan's face clearly, but he could feel his youth. Yeluqi gritted his teeth and spit out a few words.
Words, "I'm not convinced."
He already had a plan in his mind to mobilize soldiers from several surrounding cities to surprise Qin Guan and kill him. He believed that with the powerful combat effectiveness of the Liao soldiers, they would be able to annihilate the Zhao army's 40,000 troops.
But before he could launch his attack, Qin Guan had already captured Xijin City.
"Kill!"
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding."
Forty thousand Northern Route Army rushed into Xijin City and fought with the defending Liao soldiers. How could the Liao Army, which had lost its momentum and had no generals under its command, be an opponent of the powerful Northern Route Army? There were indeed stubborn resisters, such as the Guards.
The automatic rifle inside will not spare bullets.
After fighting for about an hour, most of the Liao soldiers in the city had been completely wiped out. Some of them might have escaped, but they no longer affected the overall situation.
Qin Guan led everyone on horseback through the city gate and stepped into the ancient capital. He looked around curiously. He had been to the capital many times. But now it seems that there is no trace of the capital of later generations here. It is still just a big border city.
It's just that it needed several generations of construction in the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Imperial City, and the Qing Capital before it could become the Beijing city of later generations.
As soon as Qin Guan came in, Xiong Da brought someone over and said with a happy face: "Commander, the Liao soldiers in the city have been eliminated, and we also found Yelu Qicai." He waved to someone to bring a corpse.
Qin looked at Yelu Qicai, who was wearing a general's armor and was already dead. There was a deep sword wound on his neck. This guy wiped his neck to death.
Qin Guan sighed: "Yelüqi is also considered a generation of generals. He has participated in two attacks on our Zhao country."
Cherish heroes and value heroes.
Qin Guan immediately ordered: "Hang Yelu Qicai's body for three days to show to the public, and then bury him and his soldiers together. They will live in the same quilt and die in the same cave. Let him and his soldiers be together forever. There will be no one on the road to hell.
alone."
Xiong Da led people down, and not long after, Pan Liang came over with a team of people and reported: "Commander, we captured Zhao Yanshou, who was left behind in Xijin Mansion."
"Oh, bring it up." Qin Guandao.
The soldiers pressed Zhao Yanshou forward, but before the soldiers could kick his legs, Zhao Yanshou knelt down directly after seeing Qin Guan, wailing: "General Qin, please spare your life, I am willing to hand over all my family property in exchange for a life."
Life."
Qin Guan laughed when he heard this, he was really a spineless guy.
Qin Guan lay down on his horse, looked at Zhao Yanshou and said: "The minister who stayed behind in Nanjing, the capital of Liao Dynasty, a third-grade official, how much wealth are you prepared to spend in exchange for your life?"
Zhao Yanshou trembled and said: "All, all dedicated to the general."
Qin Guan shook his head and said: "If these are not enough, I will kill you and I can go to your house to get them."
Zhao Yanshou turned pale with fright and immediately shouted: "General, I am still useful. I am familiar with everything in Xijin Mansion. If you want to do anything, I can help General and save you a lot of trouble."
General, don’t kill me.”
By the end of the speech, Zhao Yanshou's face was filled with tears and runny nose.
Qin Guan smiled. It would indeed be much more convenient to have such a person who is familiar with the situation in Jijin Mansion. Qin Guan thought about it and said, "Okay, I can spare your life, but you have to do a few things."
Seeing that there was hope for survival, Zhao Yanshou showed ecstasy on his face and said hurriedly: "The general ordered me to do it, and I will definitely do it."
"First, collect all the food in Xijin Mansion. Second, collect all the gold and silver in Xijin Mansion. Third, collect the materials I need. You must help complete these. If you do it well, you will survive. If not, I will
I'll just hang you on the flagpole and freeze and starve you to death." Qin Guandao.
"It can be done, it can definitely be done." In order to survive, Zhao Yanshou dared not agree.
Qin Guan immediately ordered Pan Liang to take his army to do this.
A big battle in Jin Mansion has basically come to an end. Qin Guan issued an order to completely clean the streets. Anyone who wanders around at will will be treated as the enemy and killed on the spot.
At this time, the people in the city of Xijin Prefecture were already trembling with fear, fearing that Qin Guan's army would massacre the city, so they closed their doors one by one, and the whole family hugged each other and trembled, praying for God's blessing.
Qin realized that he was not that evil, so he massacred the city. In ancient times, massacres had a purpose, either for revenge or for future rule.
Besides, he is a modern man at heart. He can kill people in war, but as for massacring hundreds of thousands of people for no reason, he really can't do it.
You don’t have to kill people, but you still have to rob things that should be taken.
Qin Guan issued the order and the troops began to collect various needed supplies.
He ordered the war horses to be collected. The final statistics showed that there were more than 20,000 war horses in Jin Mansion. Qin Guan decided to equip all these war horses with the army. It would be best to have one person with two horses, which would increase the combat effectiveness.
He gave secret orders to the firearms battalion, collected supplies in the city, and continued to manufacture gunpowder. After several battles, the consumption of gunpowder was very high, and there was no shortage of such a large-scale killer.
Fortunately, the Jijin Mansion has complete supplies. I believe it will not be difficult to find the materials to make gunpowder. These gunpowders are made using the improved technology of later generations provided by Qin Guan, and are several times more powerful than the gunpowder of this era.
