Chapter 196 Guangning City, broken!
Zhuzi controls one cannon and Chen Guizu controls the other.
Cannons are still too advanced. In the entire Gunpowder Department, apart from Zhuzi who is gifted, only Chen Gui, the gunpowder fanatic, can understand them.
"Your Highness, it's done." Chen Gui turned around and reported.
Li Che looked at the city wall in the distance, which was densely packed with Khitan soldiers. They were obviously ready for defense and battle.
They certainly didn't expect that the first ones to rush up the city wall were not Fengtian Army soldiers, but...
"fire!!!"
At Li Che's command, two soldiers immediately lit the fuse.
The gunpowder in the barrel is ignited instantly, and the generated gas pressure pushes the shell out of the barrel!
Boom!
After a deafening sound, wisps of white smoke emerged from the muzzle, and a solid iron bullet whizzed out!
It streaked across the sky at astonishing speed, leaving a brief but dazzling trail among the dark clouds.
After the loud bang, there was a suffocating silence.
As gravity pulled it, it began to dive down from the sky.
The Khitan soldiers on the ground looked up in confusion, only to see a black shadow rapidly growing larger.
In an instant, the iron bullet slammed down - first there was a loud bang, and the point of contact instantly burst out a violent air wave, hitting several unfortunate soldiers.
Stone fragments flew everywhere, and the surrounding soldiers screamed in pain.
However, it's not over yet.
The momentum of the shell was still there, and it jumped up again on the ground like a skipping stone and hit the rear of the formation.
This time they were not so lucky. The bouncing shell hit a Khitan soldier's head accurately.
The head exploded like a watermelon, and red and white things splattered everywhere.
The shell bounced a few more times on the ground, but instead of hitting anyone else, it fell into the ground and became quiet.
The city was dead silent, and only the wailing of a few unfortunate people could be heard.
The guard looked back in amazement, completely unable to understand what was happening.
"Zhu Zi, you hit the wrong target!" Li Che shouted angrily.
Zhuzi slammed his palm with a look of regret, but the ball was just a little bit higher and hit the city gate tower.
The fat wife I got flew away with the cannonball!
At this moment, there was another loud bang, which frightened Li Che so much that he shuddered.
It turned out that the cannon from Chen Gui’s side had fired!
This time, the parabola was very precise and headed straight for the city gate tower.
Li Che held his breath, not daring to blink, as he watched the small black dot falling rapidly from the sky.
Then, with a loud bang, it hit the supporting pillars of the city gate tower.
"Pillar, I hit the pillar!" Li Che slapped the back of the pillar's neck, feeling extremely happy.
In an instant, a violent collision sound exploded in the air like thunder.
The load-bearing columns were unable to withstand the force of the shells and instantly collapsed and shattered, falling down with a loud bang.
A deafening sound, accompanied by a shriek that tore through the air, filled the entire space.
Under this irresistible force, the city gate tower began to tilt and shake, and then its center of gravity lost balance and collapsed with a loud bang.
The heavy stone bricks and wooden beams seemed to have lost their support and collapsed one after another, turning the entire building into ruins.
The enemy defenders had not yet reacted and could only watch as a huge shadow loomed over them.
As the gate tower collapsed, he was crushed beneath the heavy and cold rubble and debris.
At the moment the city gate collapsed, Li Che suddenly drew his sword from his waist and shouted: "Fengtian Army, attack the city!!!"
As Li Che's voice fell, the shrill and inspiring charge horn sounded again.
Countless Ninggu Army soldiers, holding shields in their left hands and short swords in their right hands, surged forward from behind Li Che like a tide.
The Khitan defenders lost the barrier of the city gate tower, and their defense line suddenly relaxed. They hurriedly tried to reorganize their position, but it was too late.
The crossbow battalion was the first to reach the front line. At the command of Captain Hua Ying, they shot arrows as densely as rain, drawing graceful and deadly arcs in the air.
The Khitan defenders were caught off guard and forced to retreat, and the battle line on the city wall became sparse.
The infantry arrived shortly afterwards, and dozens of siege ladders were instantly placed on the city walls.
Wang Sanchun, holding a long sword, led the charge, shouting at the top of his lungs, "The first one to reach the summit will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and will be recognized for his great merit!"
The soldiers were immediately energized, rushing up the ladder without hesitation and climbing up with their hands and feet swiftly.
The Khitan defenders were unable to organize an effective counterattack. Even the rain of arrows shot down from the city walls was sparse. The Ninggu army that attacked the city walls attacked from multiple points and occupied a large area at lightning speed.
Among them, the personal soldiers led by Wang Sanchun were the bravest. They rushed into the gap with unstoppable momentum, like wild beasts running free, desperate to break through the enemy's remaining resistance.
Wang Sanchun swung his sword and chopped off several heads in a row. Then he ran down the steps of the city wall and headed straight for the city gate.
The defenders at the city gate were like frightened birds. After just a brief resistance, they threw away their weapons in terror and began to flee.
Wang Sanchun killed several defenders and then chopped at the bolt of the city gate with his sword.
Wood chips flew everywhere, and under Wang Sanchun's continuous force, the door bolt broke into two pieces under the weight.
The personal soldiers behind him had already stepped forward and pushed open the city gate.
"Good opportunity!" Li Che's eyes suddenly lit up. "Let the infantry clear the way. Yueyun, it's your turn to perform!"
Yue Yun, who had been waiting for a long time, pulled down his armor, and the spear in his hand flashed coldly in the sunlight.
"Armored Battalion, charge!"
After incorporating the National Protection Army, Li Che inherited 150 sets of armor from the National Protection Army and expanded the armored battalion from 50 to 200 people.
The increase in numbers is of great significance to the armored cavalry, who are equipped with armor on both horses and men, and have become invincible.
The city gates were wide open, dust was flying, the deafening sound of horse hooves rolled in like thunder, and two hundred armored cavalry swept in like a storm.
The armored cavalry charged in uniform formation, like a torrent of steel, ruthlessly crushing the enemy's obstacles.
The Khitan defenders were already exhausted from the previous successive attacks, and this invincible cavalry was undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back.
In an instant, the enemies fled in panic. Their last line of defense was as fragile as paper and could not be resisted at all.
Amidst the rising dust, one could see armored cavalrymen crushing the enemy wherever they went.
In a trance, Li Che saw from afar that the wolfskin banners on Guangning City were cut off and thrown down to the foot of the city.
Afterwards, his own royal flag with the character Feng was flying over the city wall.
Guangning City has been broken!
At this moment, Zhuzi's pitiful voice came from beside him: "Your Highness, do you still have a wife?"
Li Che laughed and scolded: "You didn't even hit the target, and you still want a wife?"
Zhuzi's mouth suddenly pursed, and he looked like he was about to cry.
Li Che laughed heartily: "Okay, I've lost my two wives, but I can give you one!"
"Well, tell me what kind you like, and I'll pick it out for you myself!"
Zhuzi was overjoyed: "Your Highness, I like fat girls. My mother said that a fat wife is easy to bear and brings good luck to her husband!"
Li Che stumbled and almost lost his balance. He patted Zhuzi's head in annoyance.
"Good boy, your habit is even weirder than mine!"
