Chapter 333 Breaking the city, there is no blood (3)

The Yue people in the city finally stopped listening to the sounds of thunder and blooming white clouds, and showed their heads on the city wall with lingering fear.

In two days, the Vietnamese people in the city had no choice but to watch the people outside the city digging tunnels like mice, constantly approaching the city walls, without any help.

Even if there is no suppression of artillery under the city, it will be difficult for Yue people who are defending the city to cause casualties to the people under the city.

Starting from a distance of 200 steps, the entire tunnel was in the shape of a "一" close, with willow baskets and wood on it, just blocking the view of the city wall.

If you shoot, you know that more than a hundred arrows will fall into the tunnel. If you fall into it, only smaller ones may hit people.

Near the moat, a gap facing the city wall finally appeared, and it was no longer a tortuous zigzag shape.

If there is a powerful archer, he can be shot at the outlet and suppress it. However, the cannons under the city are constantly bombarding, and the muskets are covering the two wings and cannot show their heads at all.

He could only watch the people under the city fill the trench. After crossing the trench, he used shields to dig it out. He had no idea how to start and could only watch the under the city keep approaching the city wall.

It is absolutely not daring to fight back when going out of the city. If the Yue people send their own people out of the city, they are worried that the casualties will not be able to return, and there will be changes in the city.

He sent farmers from Tengdi out of the city, but was afraid that they would rebel, so he could only watch the tunnels continue to extend.

Yesterday, the city shouted loudly, saying that when the indigo flag was raised, the Teng people were only allowed to stay away from the city gate.

The Yue people had already seen those strange weapons. When they were hunting and killing Teng Shuyu and others, they had heard the thunder sound, and they were skeptical.

The people in Teng believed Mozhe's words very much. Seeing the indigo blue flags rising under the city, they knew that the city wall near the city gate would soon be knocked down by lightning, so they dared not stay there.

The flag outside shook again, and outside the city shouted: "It is death near the city gate. If you rebel against the Yue people or escape, your interest will be alive. Once the city gate is broken, the Mo people will enter the city immediately, so there is no need to worry about the Yue people killing!"

After shouting a few times, the Yue people near the city wall were panicked when they saw the peasant soldiers being restless.

If you order a blast, you are afraid that these peasants will rebel immediately.

He was also worried that the Mo family could really open the city gate directly, so that he would die at the top of the city. But he also felt that these people under the city were using tricks to make the city gate confused and thus break the door.

The people in Teng didn't have to think too much and fled, and only shouted: "I will die near the city gate. The Mo family will enter the city immediately and survive if they escape!"

Several people took the lead, jumped off the city gate first, threw their weapons back and fled.

Some people take the lead, and the remaining people are not willing to defend the city at all. Since the Yue people will lose, why should they make things difficult for these Mo people who want to let everyone live a good life?

In an instant, most of the Teng people near the city had fled, leaving only some timid or timid people who were caught between Yue people and dared not escape, with despair on their faces.

The Yue people also shot and killed several fleeing people, but to no avail.

Under the city, the place where gunpowder coffins are buried has been closed.

Near the attack point of the trench, the spearmen of the two companies stood in four rows, hiding in the zigzag tunnel.

The entire tunnel is like this, and the point above the head is the exit, which is arranged in four rows to quickly attack from the exit.

At this time, the three hundred people were squatting in the tunnel, blocking their ears as ordered.

I watched the movements on the city wall, and guessed that the time was almost the same, so I asked someone to beat the drum and ordered the fire.

After a while, the two of them quickly ran back from the tunnel under the city wall, and the artillery also let out its last roar.

When the cannon stopped, a loud noise as if the sky had collapsed came from the city gate. The ground was trembling, and the solid wooden city gate was blown up instantly, and a small section of the city wall collapsed. There were no living people near the city gate, and the rest were all shocked and half-dead.

The loud bang was like a drum. The spearmen who covered their ears and were still shocked quickly stood up. Under the leadership of Mozhe, they rushed out of the attack port in four rows and rushed towards the gap in the city wall filled with smoke and dust.

The musketeers on both sides of the gap were also shooting upwards, suppressing the Yue people on the city walls on both sides, but in fact they were just taking a formality.

The Yue people near the city gate have never seen this scene like a god sending punishment. The huge wooden door and soil are scattered everywhere, which is definitely not something that humans can do.

The ones who were close and shocked were shocked, and the ones who were far away were even more afraid to move forward. Someone had already jumped down the city wall and fled towards the inner city.

Standing two hundred steps away, watching the spearmen of the two companies climbing the collapsed city wall, smiled and said to Ji Te and Teng Shuyu who were already scared by their side: "The two can enter the city now! Yue people are defeated!"

Ji Te and Teng Shuyu had never seen so many gunpowder ignited at the same time. They were scared to death. Even if they had any other thoughts, they had already been scared by this explosion.

When I turned around, I ordered people to beat the drum and slowly approached the city wall, but I only occupied the gap in the city wall, but did not continue to pursue the city.

Everyone executed the orders, and the generals knew the right idea, and they wanted to force the people to go beyond their reach.

After all, Teng land still belongs to the Mo family. Whether you want to fight in the city or not, there are many casualties and injuries in the chaos. Now every household registration is very important.

Furthermore, if the Yue people retreat to the inner city and the palaces and treasurys will be destroyed, the loss will be too great.

This time, the city wall was blown up to make the Yue people understand one thing: you can't defend the inner city, so run away quickly! There are rivers on both sides of the north and south, and the bridge was burned by you before the siege of the city. If you want to escape to Langya, it is best to open the gate on the northeast side and run away from there.

About two quarters of an hour later, four companies of soldiers had already climbed the city wall, and some musketeers lined up on the city wall to guard the broken city gate gap.

At this time, the subsequent infantry could have entered the city, but the city was in chaos and did not want to fight in the city at all.

The subsequent troops no longer need to walk through the tunnel and line up outside the city, leaving two companies of soldiers to prepare for support near the city wall.

The excavated farmers following behind were overjoyed looking at the broken city walls and the Mo family flag flying high above the city gates.

Everyone thought: "No matter how you say Teng is the capital of the princes. It is said that the Mo family is good at defending the city, but the attack is so fast. If a person does not die, he will climb the city in an instant!"

Then I thought about it again, the Mo family had done the feat of hundreds of people breaking the Chu formation and capturing the King of Chu in Shangqiu. This kind of thing that must be magical in the world at this time was actually ordinary in the eyes of the people of Pei County. On the contrary, it would be strange if there were heavy casualties.

It is said that the Mo family is good at defending the city, but the whole world has forgotten one thing: if you are good at defending the city, you must be good at attacking the city, because you must first learn to attack the city, and then crack the methods of attacking the city one by one.

In addition, it is applicable to the siege method that exceeds the times and maximizes the effect of gunpowder, and it is really easy to defeat the small Teng City.

Even if this kind of siege method is facing a bastion where artillery is deployed, it can be broken by digging holes within a week. Moreover, the Yu Yue people cannot effectively deal with the twelve basic siege methods at this time.

In fact, it is clear that these tunnels are not well dug. If gunpowder is popularized in the world in the future, such a simple tunnel will easily be blocked by artillery on the city wall.

But since Yue people don’t have one, they don’t need to be so rigid, just as Niu Lanyi’s city defense is not a regular bastion at all. Because they are not needed, those unreasonable become reasonable.

Seeing that the gap had been stable, the soldiers under the city were ordered to line up to guard against the possibility of the Yue people struggling to fight back.

He also ordered the artillery to hang up on horses and retreat under the protection of the infantry company. If the Yue people defended the inner city to the death or chose to start a war in the streets, they would have to use guns to bombard the streets and alleys to minimize their own casualties.

This was just to prevent it. One was that the Yue people were panicked at this time, and the people of Teng were eager to fight in the streets and could not fight at all. Secondly, as long as the Yue people's general was not stupid, he would know that the best choice was to abandon the city and flee at this time.

So, there is no hurry, and only let the soldiers on the city guard stabilize and wait in line, giving the Yue people enough time to escape.

He was not in a hurry, but the Yue people in the city had already begun to be impatient.

The nobles of Yue people heard the loud noise just now. Soon after, Yue people on the street returned, saying that the Mo family had opened the city gate and the city gate had been lost!

At this time, it is difficult to fight streets and streets, and the city walls are generally commanding heights and symbols in the city. Once the city wall is broken, it is equivalent to breaking the city.

The Vietnamese soldier who was rewarding him even more evilly, saying that he was like a thunder that directly smashed the city gate... and said that he saw the wood of the city gate flying three or five feet high and artificially made powder...

This does not require lies. The eagle can be heard in the inner city, but he can't believe that Mozhe can break the city so quickly.

In fact, yesterday he had no hope of defending the city.

The city was in a neat array, and he had only seen such infantrymen in the elite Gentleman Army around King Yue, and knew that these people in his hands could not defend Tengcheng at all.

He didn't dare to think about the reputation of Mozhe when he left the city to fight. How could he not guard against the city?

So yesterday he was already thinking about evacuating, but he didn't expect that the Mo family said yesterday that the city had broken down today and that it was really unexpected.

The bridges on the rivers on both sides of the north and south were burned by him the day before the siege of the city, but the Mo family only attacked on one side, and there was no one in the northeast corner. The direction he originally wanted to break through was also the northeast corner.

After fleeing to Ni Ziguo northeast of Tengcheng, Yue people were powerful, Qi Duke surrendered, and the Si Shui princes even dared not resist. As long as they escape there, they could enter the city and ask for food and grass, not afraid that Ni would not provide it.

The two countries gathered for only a few dozen miles. It seemed that the Mo family chose to attack on one side just to break through Tengcheng.

Ying originally wanted to see the methods of the Mo family's attack on the city. If he could last for a few days, he would have to explain to the King of Yue. Yue was cruel, and father and son were even killed. Besides, the nobles and subordinates lost their fiefdoms and had no foundation. He could not run away in one day. It was an explanation for how many days he was guarding.

But I didn’t expect that the Mo family said that breaking the city today is breaking the city today. The Mo people keep their trust, but then I thought that such things can keep their trust? Is it as simple as eating and drinking water?

It is impossible to defend, and the inner city is not as strong as the outer city. The Mohist priest breaks the outer city and shocks the earth, which declares that the inner city cannot be defended.

Fortunately... Mozhe seemed quite pedantic and did not immediately attack the city, but chose to slowly line up at the top of the city.

In the eyes of the eagle, it seems to have given him an opportunity to take advantage of it.
