Chapter 753

On the 22nd, taking advantage of the last crescent moon in Lingcheng, the Song army siege troops quietly entered the mountain and gathered at the predetermined breakthrough point, preparing to launch an attack after the shocking explosion. How could Zhao Bing be absent in such a lively event? He set up a command post at a commanding height about two miles away from the city wall. The view here is wide and the entire battlefield is visible. At that moment, the enemy lit a bonfire on the city wall, threw torches from time to time from time to time, and hung lanterns with ropes to light up the city in the middle of the city wall, so that the opponent could attack the city at night, so the time for the siege was set at the beginning of dawn.

"Which army is the frontier?" Zhao Bing was still worried. At that moment, thousands of troops were hiding in front of the mountain. If someone accidentally exposed his target, he would cause trouble. He went down to the frontier to patrol and found that there were still people moving a hundred steps in front of the city, and asked frowned.

"Your Majesty, you are the sharp army of the mountain brigade. They are preparing to climb the city immediately after the bombing of the city." Tian Zhong replied.

"Let them retreat immediately. It's too close. Let the leader bring him to see me!" Zhao Bing whispered.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Although Tian Zhong didn't know what Your Majesty meant, he saw that His Majesty was serious and immediately ordered someone to inform him.

"You are crazy, why are you so close? You are looking for death!" Zhao Bing immediately scolded him with a storm when he saw someone being brought.

"Your Majesty, you can quickly climb the city after the city wall is blown up and reduce casualties." The visitor said with his neck tugging.

"Bad, five thousand kilograms of gunpowder were buried underground in the city, and it shocked you to death with one sound. Why are you still climbing to the city!" Zhao Bing said angrily after hearing this.

"We are still a hundred steps away from the city wall, so what will happen?" The visitor said in a true sense.

"Why are you...you?" Zhao Bing realized that his voice was strange at this time, and he looked carefully and said in surprise.

"Your Majesty can visit the military command in person, why not be a humble position!" Li Sanniang said angrily.

"Oh, how powerful is five thousand kilograms of gunpowder to flatten the entire hill. If you lie on the front line, you will be shaken to pieces and you will be killed in an instant. This is definitely not an exaggeration!" Zhao Bing said in a slowing tone.

"Ah... Then how far is it for us?" Li Sanniang saw that the little emperor was talking seriously and not scaring her, so she couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"It cannot be less than 200 steps recently. Remember to lie on the ground to avoid being injured by flying stones, but the upper body must be arched and not stuck to the ground, otherwise there will still be danger of being shocked to death!" Zhao Bing thought for a while and made a demonstration move.

"I understand. Thank you for your Majesty. Then I inform my subordinates and leave." Li Sanniang saluted, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Zhao Bing called him again, looked at Li Sanniang up and down, took off his bulletproof vest and handed it to him.

"Your Majesty, I dare not do anything humble!" Li Sanniang hesitated and stepped back.

"Although I am a bit heavy, it is better than the leather armor on your body, and ordinary arrows are difficult to penetrate!" Zhao Bing stepped forward and put it on her with his own hands, then raised her left arm and tried to tie her tightly.

"Your Majesty, this..." Li Sanniang was so embarrassed and embarrassed to see the little emperor wearing armor for her in front of everyone without any hesitation. After all, although the two had a engagement, they were not married yet, and they couldn't help but feel stiff and could not speak clearly, but they felt it very useful in their hearts, which at least showed that the little emperor was still very concerned about him.

"Remember, after the explosion, you must launch an impact immediately. At that time, the enemy on the city wall was either shocked to death or dizzy, and smoke and dust rose up to block the enemy's sight. You must take this opportunity to get into the city. Then don't stop and attack quickly. Don't be afraid of casualties at this time, don't stay, strive to expand your foothold and open up the road for the subsequent troops." Zhao Bing reminded him while wearing a tie for him.

"Well, I remember." The two of them were so close that they could hear each other's breath, which made Li Sanniang's heart beat like a deer, her breathing accelerated, her face was burning, and she nodded and responded.

"It's the first time I'm going to fight?" Zhao Bing tied up his last belt and tied her a belt.

"Yes!" The little emperor surrounded her waist, which made her feel even more embarrassed, and said in his ears that the sound of mosquitoes.

"Don't be afraid, be calm. You are the leader of the army. If you panic, your subordinates will be even more panic. Remember!" Zhao Bing tied up her armed belt and saw if there was anything wrong.

"Yeah!" Li Sanniang nodded again, saluted the little emperor, and turned around and returned to the team.

"Hmph, this little girl is really interesting." Zhao Bing murmured as he watched Qi's figure disappear at the darkest moment before dawn.

"Your Majesty, why don't you replace the mountain brigade?" Ni Liang asked softly.

"I'm really a married wife and I'm sensible. But there's no need, you don't understand!" Zhao Bing patted Ni Liang's shoulder and said helplessly.

"Your Majesty, Li... will Miss Li be angry?" Chen Dun came over and asked again.

"What do you think?" Zhao Bing asked back, and he knew in his heart that it was really hard to say...

It was dawn in winter, and the east was just white when the Chou Time passed by. The tide of the city was rising near the sea, and the valley was shrouded in a layer of mist. Lin'an City was like a fairy mansion floating in the clouds. Zhao Bing looked at the city head with a telescope. The bonfire on the city wall had been extinguished. The patrol enemy soldiers lazily leaned against the female wall waiting for the change of guards. Everything was as calm as usual.

"Your Majesty, General Ni sent a signal of preparation for explosion." Chen Dun saw the red flag swaying in front of him three times and reported to the little emperor.

"Yeah!" Zhao Bing nodded and turned his gaze to the breakthrough. After a few breaths, he saw the red flag on the frontier command post suddenly waved downward. He knew that this was a signal of ignition, and at the same time notified the frontier troops to protect themselves. But he did not move and still looked ahead. He knew that in order to ensure the success of the blasting, three fuses were buried underground, but he was still worried that if the blasting failed, so many people would be in vain and the direction of the main attack was exposed.

‘Boom’, Zhao Bing calculated that it took more than ten breaths from lighting the fuse to lighting the explosives, but just this little time made him feel like a year, but there was no loud noise like the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, nor did he see the earth flying around and the smoke and dust filling the sky. What made people even more disappointing was that someone was fartling.

"Your Majesty, has it failed?" Chen Dun, who was standing beside the little emperor, said in shock.

"..." Zhao Bing didn't say anything, but she broke out in a cold sweat. He knew that not only he had such a large-scale blast, but even the entire army had never used it, and blasting was not as simple as he thought as he could just stuff the explosives in and ignite. The use of the dose, the selection of blasting points, the depth of the tunnel, etc. had to be rigorously calculated. But he could only try to ride a blind horse.

The blasting point is selected based on the general direction of the attack, the tunnel is excavated according to the difficulty, and the size of the medicine room is also estimated. As for how much gunpowder is used, or even the stupid method to fill it up. The main body of the city wall is made of rammed earth, and the outside is covered with bricks. In addition, this section of the city wall is close to the imperial city, it can be imagined that it is strong. Judging from the current situation, Zhao Bing cannot help but suspect that the blasting failed.

"Your Majesty, be careful..." But before Zhao Bing was even depressed, he shook his feet and shook his body twice. Chen Dun hurriedly supported him.

"It's collapsed!" Zhao Bing quickly stabilized his body, but was delighted. He felt a strong vibration so far from the blasting point, which at least means that the blasting was successful. He hurriedly picked up the telescope and looked at the city wall. He saw that the city wall was like a piece of pastry falling to the ground. First, the bricks were peeled off and fell to the ground, and then the rammed earth wrapped in it collapsed to both sides, flowing down like mudslides. Obviously, the hard rammed earth was shattered, forming a gap of more than ten feet long on both sides of the blasting point.

"Run up!" Chen Dun shouted excitedly at this time.

"Yeah!" But seeing the three troops serving as the main attackers all rushed towards the breakthrough, and the mountain brigades rushed to the front. They quickly climbed up the wall along the slope formed by the collapsed city wall, and quickly climbed up the wall with hook guns on the broken stubble, and then rushed forward immediately. But at this time, the first brigade of the Guards was still raising a ladder and setting up a cloud ladder to the city. The Fifth Division and the Second Brigade rushed into the outer city along the gap, passed through the Imperial Horse Courtyard and the Dengwen Drum Courtyard, and exploded the Lizheng Gate with gunpowder to enter the imperial city.

‘Boom, boom…’ The navy in the east and west directions also began to bombard the enemy on the top of the city with crossbows. On the one hand, they restrained the enemy and prevented them from reinforced the southern city; on the other hand, they covered the blasting ships to break through the water gate and opened the waterways entering the city to increase the number of troops invested.

"Let's go back!" All three directions have started fighting. Due to the terrain restrictions, Zhao Bing can't see anything here as the attacking troops advance. He turned his face and said.

"Your Majesty, this has just started, why are you going back? I don't know how it is going!" Chen Dun saw that the little emperor was leaving, and the battle was in full swing, and he wanted to take a look again and said anxiously.

"Forty thousand and ten thousand, the city wall has been broken through again. If they still can't win, they can only jump into Qiantang River!" Zhao Bing said with a smile.

"Yes, there's nothing to watch!" Chen Dun was so interested in saying a few words from the little emperor. Thinking about it, the highlight of the siege battle is whether it can break through the city siege. Once the city wall is broken, when the attacking party enters the city, the result of the battle will be basically determined. So he ordered the guards to pack up their things and go back home to wait for news of victory...

Since the Yuan army focused on Luocheng, the troops of a brigade attacking Dongcheng were divided into two groups, one along the east wall of Luocheng to attack northward and the other along the outer city wall, it was easier to fight in this way. The West Outer City and Luocheng shared a city wall, so the troops arranged were concentrated, so the mountain brigades attacking in this direction suffered more fierce resistance.

Although the Rui Battalion led by Li Sanniang moved back a hundred steps, it was still at the forefront of the battlefield. When the explosion sounded, it was affected the most. She could clearly feel the vibration of the ground. The rocks rolled down, and more than ten kilograms of stones were shocked to slam-hachi. The enemy soldiers patrolling the city wall were directly lifted off the city. Even if they were not killed, they were buried alive by the collapsed city wall. She thought that if the little emperor had not ordered them to retreat, they might have been shaken to death on the spot, and she couldn't help but sweat.

As soon as the aftermath of the explosion passed, Li Sanniang jumped up and led her army to launch an attack, rushed through the open area as fast as possible, and relied on the hook and gun in her hand and skillful climbing skills to take the lead in the city. And the enemy soldiers above were as expected by the little emperor. They were either shocked and died on the spot, or they were still drowsy and unable to get up. At this time, of course they would not think about catching prisoners, and they would make up for one shot regardless of their life or death to avoid future troubles. She took the lead to advance, expand the depth, and consolidate her foothold.

Li Sanniang led her troops to chase and kill the enemy troops who were scared by the explosion until a bend of the city wall a hundred steps away. The city wall was two feet wide, and although it could run horses, it could not occupy a few people side by side. She asked someone to shoot down several enemy troops first, and then held a shield in his left hand and a gun in his right hand to continue to attack the enemy's arrow rain. When the distance between the two sides was only a few steps, she used a shield to block the long sword that had been slashed, and handed the spear forward and pierced into his abdomen, and then took the enemy troops to the city without stopping.

The narrow city walls made it difficult for the team to unfold, and the two sides that collided together immediately started a melee. This kind of battle had no skills at all. It was a face-to-face life-and-death battle, either you die or I died. Therefore, it was extremely fierce once the attack began. The shrill howls of the person who was shot, splashed blood, the impact of swords and guns, and the clanging sounds of friction made people nervous, especially for the new army like Li Sanniang, who was on the battlefield for the first time, which was completely different from the usual training, but she knew that she had no way out at this moment, and also understood why everyone stopped her from going into battle in person.

"Hey!" The shield in his hand had long been thrown where it was thrown. The spear in the hand of an enemy centurion pierced Li Sanniang's chest, and at the same time, her spear was also handed forward and pierced on the opponent's throat. Li Sanniang was shot in the chest and was staggered. At the same time, she heard a sound of porcelain rupture, but she still stabbed the opponent's neck with a gun in one hand.

"Kill!" Li Sanniang felt that she was dead this time when she was shot, but she felt a little stuffy in her chest. She looked down at the vest covered with leather armor that had no holes. She immediately realized that His Majesty took off the armor and saved her life. Looking at the soldiers beside her, she didn't know how many rounds she had changed. She yelled and swept an enemy soldier down the city.

The brave ones won when they met on a narrow road. The soldiers were brave and brave. When they were in great battles, they fully stimulated their violent aura. Under their command, they had no stakes to survive. Under Li Sanniang, they stopped the Yuan army, which had always been good at fighting. The city walls that were killed were blood flowing into a river, and corpses were everywhere, and finally defeated the enemy. The defeated army retreated north along the city wall on Phoenix Mountain. They chased and seized Qianchaomen and Qingbomen in the South Gate, repelled the enemy troops who wanted to reinforce from the horse road, and drove them north.
