The rise of the prince

Chapter 678 The Limits of Flesh and Flesh
Outside the palace, Tong Xin didn't dare to go forward any more, and shrank behind the large group of people. The officer leading the imperial army soon discovered that the reason why the palace was lit with torches inside and outside the gate was probably because they wanted to see their movements clearly from the dark.

Immediately, he asked people to dig sand and soil by the river, and extinguished the torches and fires inside and outside the gate of the palace.

Afterwards, someone broke open the wooden door frames on both sides of the gate to widen the gate to allow more people to enter at the same time. After everything was ready, everyone began to gather at the gate, and all the guards held their breath.

The officer of the imperial army said loudly again: "Brothers! I will remember everything. There is no turning back at this point. If it succeeds, it will be fine. The crown prince will ascend to the supreme position. We are all loyal ministers, and we will be promoted to glory Wealth is not a problem.

But if we don't rush in, all of us will lose our heads, and the young and old will be implicated!So no matter what is inside, even if it is a god, we have to kill it!do you know! "

"I know!" Many soldiers of the Forbidden Army agreed loudly, their morale was instantly aroused, and everyone looked at death as if they were home, staring closely at the Jinwang Mansion submerged in darkness behind the gate.

"Kill!" With an order, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the crowd rushed into the gate of the palace in a ecstasy.

Everything seems to be unimpeded.

In the darkness, Qi Fang vaguely heard the loud mobilization speech of the leader of the Forbidden Army outside the gate.

It has to be said that this person is indeed clear-headed and a rare talent. The imperial army must have risked their lives if they were encouraged by him. Let alone a mere palace, it is possible for them to attack the city.

But just as Jin Wang said, "Flesh and blood always has limits." At this time, she understood a little bit more, and that's what the so-called limits are.

If he wins, as he said, when the crown prince is in power, they are all loyal to the prince and the army. They are right to kill the king of Jin who is a big worry for the crown prince.

But "flesh and blood always have limits", it's not that he's not smart, he doesn't know how to command, it's not that he doesn't know how to adapt to changing circumstances, it's just that the palace's tactics and tactics have far exceeded his limit. The person who is worried has far exceeded his limit.

Involuntarily, Qifang couldn't help thinking, what kind of attitude does King Jin look at the world?Do you look down on all living beings?So how do you look at her.
She ordered, "Artillery listen!"

"Artillery at orders."

"Artillery Hearing Orders"

"."

The order was passed on one by one, and soon it was passed to the artillery squad in the courtyard.

"Continuous shooting preparation!"

"Continuous shooting preparation!"

"Continuous fire preparation."

"."

"Ready to shoot."

In the darkness, when the order came back, Qifang quietly observed the gate sixty or seventy paces away. The rebels were very clever and dug sand to cover up the fire near the gate. This would indeed bring some inconvenience to shooting, but They have already dealt with it,

She quietly listened to the noise in front of the gate, and when she heard the thunderous shouts, Qi Fang immediately said: "Flare!"

In the darkness, more than a dozen flares were thrown into the center of the courtyard one after another. The gunpowder burned violently, instantly igniting the turpentine, and the orange flames soared into the sky, illuminating the entire courtyard.

The instant the flames lit up, Qifang could see the situation clearly. The black rebels were pouring into the gate. Their morale was high. Everyone shouted "Kill", and the sound penetrated the night sky.

She no longer hid in the darkness, and said loudly: "Fire!"

"fire!"

"fire!"

"."

After a short pause, the ground under his feet shook, and the sharp whistle of the shells tearing the air in the darkness was fleeting.

"Get down!" Qi Fang shouted.

Then the fire flared up, and in the darkness, an orange fire ball flashed instantly at the gate. The light covered the incendiary bombs in the yard. The upper end of the gate overturned and collapsed, and then a loud noise accompanied by a shock wave swept across the entire courtyard, and the tables and chairs were overturned. , The rubble wall was crackled by shrapnel. Even though they hid behind the erected table and all lay down, they still heard a few shrapnel hitting the wall above.

Before everyone could react, their ears were still buzzing, the fire flashed in the back hall, and the second shell tore through the air and exploded in front of the courtyard in an instant.

Then the third shot, and the fourth shot.
The rapid reloading capability of the breech-mounted artillery was fully demonstrated. In just a short while, four rounds had been fired, because the firing order was for continuous firing.

The entire courtyard was shrouded in flames, smoke, and dust, and sand and gravel fragments slowly fell down. The sight was blocked, and Qi Fang hurriedly ordered to release new flares.

After more than a dozen flares were thrown out, the entire courtyard was lit up again, but the smoke and dust hadn't dissipated, and it was already hard to see clearly, only faint wailing and begging for mercy could be heard.

The front yard has become a hell on earth. After the four gunshots, the gate collapsed, and the road paved with bluestone slabs in front of it was turned over as if it had been plowed. The soil underneath was exposed, emitting blue smoke. People, the dense shrapnel punched the surrounding walls full of holes.

Although no one could be seen, Qi Fang quickly judged the situation based on the cries after the smoke, and then pointed to the front and said: "Artillery, aim at the wall on the right side of the gate, hit! Shoot continuously."

Boom!

With a flash of flames, the solid wall of the palace collapsed instantly, and then there was a scream, and then the second, third, and fourth shots, the artillery instantly overturned the west wall, and the rebels who fled from the courtyard to the gate desperately Before he could react at all, he was blown to pieces, suffered heavy casualties, his head was buzzing, he was dizzy, and completely lost his soul.

Some were directly crushed to death by the collapsed masonry, or were crushed underneath. They never dreamed that they would suddenly be exposed to the guns of the new army.

They just thought that the people in the palace were using some kind of terrifying long-range weapons, and those who escaped from the dead were still in shock and wanted to lean towards the foot of the wall, because it was safe, and the tall and strong wall could be used as a cover.

But they never expected that the solid high wall in their hearts, the wall that they had to avoid when attacking at first, suddenly became as fragile as tofu, and instantly turned into a hell on earth
"Fire!"

With an order, the musketeers downstairs fired one after another, fully firing at the rebels who were suddenly forced to face each other.

Many musketeers of the new army occupied the second floor and looked down upon them. Cooperating with the people on the first floor, a large number of rebels fell in an instant. Flee to the corner street.

Qifang didn't order to pursue them, she wanted to kill all these traitors herself, if she had the temper of leading the army in Luzhou before, she would definitely drive them all to death, but she took a deep breath and held back.

There are few people in the palace and they need protection, and the people in the palace are close like Gillian, Qiuer Yueer, etc., and talented people like Zhao Si, Fang Xin, Guan Zhong, Yan Kun, Zhu Rong, Tieniu, Gufeng, etc., anyone If something goes wrong, King Jin will definitely feel heartbroken.

So she held back in the end, and just asked the soldiers to stand firm, replenish their guns, shoot and kill the rebels who were not dead on the battlefield or hiding in the corner, and at the same time sent someone to the backyard to inquire about Shiyu's situation.

As for how many rebels were killed, she didn't care, because the battle was so big that it suddenly became boring, and these people were not their opponents at all.
