My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 1414
The sound of cannons outside the city instantly resounded inside and outside the capital.

The guards on the city wall subconsciously huddled in the position of the battlements. There were two hundred artillery pieces on the city wall. The officers and soldiers of the imperial guards and patrol officers naturally understood the power of the artillery.

As soon as the cannon sounded, they instinctively made them want to shrink back to avoid the bombardment of the shells.

However, what the imperial guards didn't expect was that the fifty artillery pieces under the city wall were not bombarding the guards above the city wall, but bombarding the city gate holes and the frost hanging on the city wall.

After a little thought, Lu Tao understood the rebels' intentions.

One is to blow open the city gate with shells, and the other is to blow up the ice on the city wall.

"Fire the cannon, it doesn't matter if the cannon barrel is destroyed, you must blast the artillery of the rebels."

After a round of test firing, the artillery on the city wall immediately adjusted its angle and aimed at the artillery arranged by the rebels.

There were fifty artillery pieces on both sides, and they immediately began to bombard each other.

The artillery above the rebel position was blown away several times in an instant, and the artillerymen on the side would inevitably die tragically. It was hard not to die if they were blown up by the bombs beside them.

However, the situation of the city gate is also not optimistic.

With the firecrackers of shells, the bricks and rocks sealed in the city gate hole loosened when they sprinted down.

Jiangzhou and Lu Gui, who were in charge of the battle, looked at the situation of the city gate with excited faces.

"Boom to death, don't care if the artillery is useless, as long as you attack the capital, the artillery on the city wall is better than ours, and the artillery that is more powerful than ours is ours."

"It is not only a cannon, but also has everything that one expects to find in glory and wealth."

As the messenger passed Jiangzhou's order to the artillery, the rebels fired faster, and they didn't care about the redness of the artillery barrel.

As Jiang Zhou said, if it is worn out, there are better ones waiting.

Under the fierce artillery fire, half of the bricks and stones in the city gate collapsed in an instant, and every shell hit was a burst of thick smoke.

The ice on the city wall also shattered and fell into the moat below the city under the bombardment of the shells.

The attack on the city gate went so smoothly that both of them sighed, marveling at the power of the artillery.

No wonder Duke Ding Liu Mingzhi set out to conquer the Western Regions and laid down such a piece of land for Dalong in just two years. With this kind of siege weapon in hand, what kind of city can resist the footsteps of the Lord's Western Expeditionary Army.

However, the two of them were also a little anxious when they looked at the artillery barrels that were blown up from time to time and the corpses of the rebels.

The artillery duel was not without tragedy, especially in order to break the city, our own side did not fight back the artillery fire on the city wall. The artillery fire on our side had lost more than 20 artillery pieces in a short period of time under the fierce artillery fire on the city wall.

Jiangzhou glanced at the command flag in his hand, which was no longer ice-blocked, and suddenly waved it.

"The three armies were ordered to attack the city, and the trebuchets stepped forward to suppress the speed at which the guards on the city wall fired."

Following Jiang Zhou's order, the rebels who had been preparing for a long time began to attack the capital again amidst the sound of thunderous cannons.

"General, the army of the rebels has entered the range of the artillery. Do you want to separate several artillery pieces to bombard the rebels?"

Lu Tao frowned deeply and shook his head resolutely as he watched the rebels attacking jointly by infantry and artillery.

"It doesn't matter, the muzzle bombards the artillery of the rebels with all its strength. Those are the things that threaten us the most. Blow them up, blow them all up."

"Order!"

Looking at the rebels approaching the city, Lu Tao waved the command flag for two purposes.

"Don't stop the artillery, let the archers shoot their arrows."

Facing the dense rain of arrows, the rebels charged under the city wall again under the cover of sword and shield soldiers.

A series of ladders began to attach to the city wall, and the wall without ice supported the rebels' ladders smoothly, even if the barbs were cut off, there was no big problem.

"Come on, capture the faint king alive, and make him a marquis of ten thousand households."

Following the encouragement of the captain, the rebels waved their red-eyed guns and climbed up the city wall against the thunder stone and rolling wood.

Turning a blind eye to the comrades who were wounded and killed in battle, they rushed forward one by one.

One by one, the rebels were stabbed bloody by the pikemen on the city wall.

However, the strength of the army was extremely different. As the first rebel army climbed up the city wall, successive rebel army troops attacked the city wall one after another.

Lu Tao drew out his horizontal knife and beheaded the two rebels. He protected the artillery brothers and continued to bombard the artillery of the rebels.

All of a sudden, two waves of well-armored armies on the city wall launched a fierce fight.

"General, the rebels at the west gate have also attacked the city wall, and we are almost unable to hold back."

"If you can't resist, you have to be low. Our wives, children, and children are in the city, so even the last one in the battle must not retreat."

"The city is alive and the people are there, but the city is broken and the people are dead."

"It is ordered that the city is alive and the people are there, but the city is destroyed and the people are dead."

After Lu Tao's order was given, thousands of gray-robed men in gray robes and bamboo hats rushed up from behind the stairs of the city wall and joined the battlefield.

These black-robed men are flexible in movement, sharp in attack, and use various weapons.

One knife, one sword, one gun, at least one or two rebels would be killed.

With their joining, the pressure on the Imperial Guard suddenly eased.

"Brothers, reinforcements are coming."

Following Lu Tao's shout, the morale of the imperial guards suddenly increased a lot, and they were inseparable from the rebels.

Among the gray-robed men, a middle-aged man in his 40s and 60s, after beheading two rebels, jumped up and jumped in front of an old man in his early [-]s who was holding a spear in his hand.

Just when they stopped in front of them, the spear in the old man's hand was retracted, and the blood of the two rebels fell to the ground feebly in their chests.

"Great Elder, can you use your internal strength depending on the situation? It's too much of a disadvantage!"

The old man shook his head seriously.

"No, it's too easy to injure the imperial guards by mistake."

"It's a scuffle now, and I can't hold back my strength at all."

"Yes!"

"careful!"

The old man suddenly pulled the middle-aged man, picked up the spear, and directly passed a man in black through his body.

In an instant, countless black-clothed men flew up to the city wall along the ladder, and rushed towards the gray-robed man.

The identity of the man in black is obvious without words, the martial arts masters recruited by the Li Yunlong brothers.

With the addition of the men in black, the pressure on the Imperial Guard who had been a little relieved just now increased suddenly.

There are more and more fighting sounds on the city wall.

At this time, thousands of rebels under the city wall who were about to ascend the city suddenly turned around and rushed towards the artillery positions of the rebels.

Tens of thousands of rebels were a little overwhelmed when they saw this, and looked at the captain commander who was not sure what to do.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhou and Lu Gui's expressions changed in shock.

"It's not good, someone has turned against him, and nine times out of ten it's King Jing's men."

"I'm going to report to the prince, you send five hundred personal guards to stop it, and you must not let them destroy the artillery."

"Okay, you go quickly."

After Jiangzhou left, Lu Gui drew out his weapon and waved: "Brothers, follow me and protect the artillery position."

Seeing this, the watchman on the city wall hurriedly notified Lu Tao who was fighting.

"General, some rebels have rebelled!"

Lu Gui took the opportunity to glance at the soldiers and horses charging towards the artillery positions of the rebels, and remembered Li Baiyu's words with a smile on his face.

"Send the order, turn the muzzle of the cannon to help, don't hurt your brother!"
