Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 629
The artillery kept blasting on the city wall, and it didn't take long for the city wall to be bombed with pits and hollows.

The sacks used for reinforcement on the city wall were completely for display. Under the intensive artillery bombardment, they were all blown into fly ash.

The defenders on the city wall trembled during the bombardment. Some soldiers wanted to escape, but under the dense artillery, they were too frightened to move for a while.

Their mentality collapsed instantly under the blow of this kind of firepower, and they all stayed where they were, curled up and wailed loudly.

However, their cries were hardly heard by anyone except them and the soldiers around them.

Because the cry was covered by the explosion, it could not be heard.

A young man couldn't hold on any longer, he dropped the weapon in his hand, and ran under the city wall without looking back.

However, not long after he ran out, a shell landed beside him.

After the explosion, his figure completely disappeared.

"Run for your life, run away!!!"

A young man screamed loudly, threw the weapon in his hand on the ground, turned around and ran.

As soon as he moved, the rest of the people in the area where he was also dropped their weapons and followed behind him, preparing to flee to the city.

At this time, even looking at these young and strong soldiers, they no longer stopped them, and even followed behind the young and strong soldiers to escape under the city wall.

With the continuous bombardment of artillery, the defenders on the city wall began to collapse.

From the beginning to the present, the defenders on the city wall persisted for a quarter of an hour.

During this quarter of an hour, these defenders lived like years.

There were crying fathers and mothers and screams everywhere on the city wall, and there were defenders fleeing everywhere with their heads in their hands.

"My lord, I can't hold it anymore, retreat quickly, gather your troops and horses and prepare for street fighting. If this continues, I'm afraid all of us will die." Wu Zhen squatted behind Sun Chuanting, and shouted anxiously at Sun Chuanting screamed.

Sun Chuanting's eyes were about to burst, he turned around, and growled at Wu Tong, "What? What are you talking about? You want me to retreat and prepare for street fighting? Do you think we are the opponents of Bandit Zhao in street fighting?
You don't need to say anything, I will stick to Kaifeng Fucheng, even if I die in battle, I still have to defend Kaifeng Fucheng. "

At this time, Sun Chuanting had no way out. If Kaifeng Fucheng fell, it would mean that Henan was about to fall.

At that time, even if he survived, Chongzhen would not spare him.

At that time, not only him, but even his family members will be punished by Chongzhen.

Sun Chuanting did not want his family to be punished by Chongzhen, and under various considerations, Sun Chuanting chose to stick to Kaifeng Fucheng.

"My lord, you can't, if you don't leave, all of us will die on the city wall.

My lord, if you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of running out of firewood.grown ups! ! ! "

Wu Tong kept persuading Sun Chuanting, trying to persuade Sun Chuanting to leave the city wall.

But Sun Chuanting was like a donkey, no matter what Wu Tong said, he was unwilling to retreat from the city wall.

"Don't say any more, just leave if you want to. This official eats the king's salary and is loyal to the emperor. This official must stick to Kaifeng Fucheng, and this official will live and die with Kaifeng Fucheng."

Sun Chuanting pulled out the long sword from his waist, and his face became firm, as if he was going to fight Zhao Wen to the end.

Seeing that Sun Chuanting insisted on this, Wu Xuan couldn't say anything more.

"Ugh!"

Wu Zhen patted his thigh and let out a long sigh.

At the same time, King Zhou stood in the backyard of the palace, looking towards the city wall with horror on his face.

At the beginning, the explosion sound was not very dense, but as time passed, the explosion sound became more and more intensive.

"What is this? Father, what is this? What is this? Is it thunder from the sky?" King Zhou's son stood beside King Zhou, trembling with horror.

The prince of Zhou had never been in contact with Zhao Wen, nor had he seen how powerful Zhao Wen's weapons were.

Before that, I just heard Sun Chuanting say it.

However, there is no real truth in listening to others.

"Father, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, I'm afraid, Lord Sun can't hold Kaifeng mansion city?" Zhou Wangshizi only felt that his scalp was numb, and his body was as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"This, this, this..." Zhou Wang was also trembling, his eyes were dull, and he murmured: "Thirty percent sure, thirty percent sure, how can this be thirty percent sure? This is not even [-]% sure, [-]% sure Not at all. It’s not even [-]% sure.”

At this time, the king of Zhou did not believe at all that Sun Chuanting had told him before that he was [-]% sure of keeping the city wall.

From the beginning to the present, the sound of explosions on the city wall has never stopped.Although the King of Zhou had never seen Zhao Wen's artillery, he knew it was not an ordinary thing just from the terrifying movement.

"Hurry up and get someone to pack up, the city of Kaifeng can no longer be defended!" King Zhou looked at Prince Zhou's son, trembling.

Prince Zhou nodded and hurriedly ran to the back.

At the same time, Lu Wang and Zhu Changhao hid in the study, trembling non-stop.

"What is this? What is this? What is this?"

Zhu Changhao kept screaming loudly, he grew up so big, he has never experienced such a thing today.

"My lord, let's hurry up and get ready to run." The head of the royal residence stood by the desk, with his right hand resting on the desk, looking at Lu Wang Zhu Changhao who was shivering on the chair with a look of horror on his face.

Zhu Changhao looked at the head of the palace and exclaimed: "You're right, you're right, get someone to prepare quickly, I'm going to run for my life, I'm going to run for my life."

……

"Continue the bombing!" Zhao Wen said while looking at the Kaifeng city in front of him with a binoculars.

Li Xiaosan hurriedly took Zhao Wen's order to the artillery position.

After a while, the shells flying towards the city wall became more and more dense.

The city walls also crumbled layer by layer under the bombardment.

At this time, the defenders on the city wall all fled down the city.

As for those who did not escape, except for those who were killed by the bombing, only the half-damaged ones remained.

Sun Chuanting's eyes were red, and he looked at the flames rising above the city with resentment.

Wu Xuan crouched behind Sun Chuanting, trembling.

"My lord, get out quickly." Wu Sheng persuaded again.

"I don't..." Before Sun Chuanting finished speaking, a shell landed on Sun Chuanting's side.

The air wave generated by the explosion instantly knocked Sun Chuanting and others to the ground.

Because Sun Chuanting was squatting under the crenel, and he was protected by layers of guards under his command, and the distance from the shell explosion was relatively far, so he did not suffer any serious injuries.

Sun Chuanting was bombed and fell to the ground, his eyes were black and his ears were full of buzzing.

Beside him, some of the guards who were protecting him were bleeding from all orifices, and there was no movement.

Sun Chuanting's head was a little dazed by the blast. He looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't react for a long time.

Because Wu Zhen was relatively close to Sun Chuanting, he did not suffer any serious injuries.

Seeing this, Wu Xuan's body trembled unceasingly.

"No, no, I can't stay here any longer. If I stay any longer, I'm afraid I'll die here." Wu Chen thought to himself, and then looked at the surviving guards, "Carry my lord on my back and run for my life !"

Wu Tong also ignored Sun Chuanting's order, before Sun Chuanting could react, he cut first and then played.

After the words fell, the surviving defenders couldn't help but pick up Sun Chuanting and fled to the city.

At this time, the stairs on the city wall were full of dead bodies and crowded rout soldiers. They made the city wall so crowded that Wu Zhen, Sun Chuanting and others couldn't escape at all.

Wu Zhen looked at the crowd of rout soldiers on the stairs with hatred on his face.

"boom!!!"

At this moment, the city wall under his feet suddenly trembled, and a booming sound louder than an explosion came from behind.

Immediately afterwards, a huge cloud of smoke rose into the sky.

The walls fell.

The west wall where Sun Chuanting was located could no longer hold on to this level of violent bombing, and finally collapsed.

The most central part of the west wall collapsed with great momentum.

The soaring smoke and dust filled the city wall in an instant, and some soldiers who hadn't had time to escape fell down together with the collapsed city wall with screams.

The stairs of the city wall are not directly behind the city wall, but on the back side of the city wall.

Although it was not directly behind the city wall, the collapsed city wall still reached the stairs.

Cracks began to appear on the stairs, and they continued to grow larger.

The soldiers crowded on the stairs screamed and sped up, rushing down the city.

With this level of pushing and shoving, a stampede was inevitable.

Some slow-moving soldiers were squeezed and fell on the stairs by the scarlet-eyed fleeing soldiers behind.

Before they stood up, countless pairs of feet stepped on them.

They struggled under the feet of everyone for a short time before losing their movement.

Sun Chuanting was carried by several guards, because he was far behind and hadn't climbed the stairs yet, so he was not affected much.

Wu Zhen wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and said at the top of his throat, "Wait a minute, wait a little longer, wait a little longer."

It's not that Wu Xuan is unwilling to go down at this time, but that he can't go down at all at this time.

Now the soldiers crowded on the stairs are desperately running for their lives. If they are not stable at this time, they will be buried under their feet.

Zhao Wen also saw the huge smoke and dust sweeping up. He looked at Li Xiaosan who had sent the order back, and said, "Send the order to stop firing."

Li Xiaosan hurried away with Zhao Wen's order.

After a while, the artillery fire stopped.

Zhao Wen stared at the city wall with his binoculars. After the smoke cleared, Zhao Wen finally saw the scene in front of him clearly.

I saw that the most central part of the west wall had collapsed, and a huge hole had been torn open in the wall.

Seeing this, Zhao Wen put down the binoculars in his hand, and pulled out the waist knife from his waist.

"Send the first echelon, ready to enter the city!"

Zhao Wen gave an order, and the soldiers and horses of the first echelon behind Zhao Wen began to gather forward.

At this moment, Li Xiaosan said: "My lord, why don't you bomb for a while?"

Zhao Wen replied: "Now the city wall has collapsed, and the defenders on the city wall have been defeated. There is no need to bomb again."

After Zhao Wen finished speaking, he shouted again, "The first echelon will enter Kaifeng City in a quarter of an hour. After the first echelon enters, the second echelon will prepare and the third echelon will stand by."

Under Zhao Wen's order, the soldiers and horses moved quickly.

In a short time, the first echelon has been assembled.

After a quarter of an hour was up, the soldiers of the first echelon yelled to kill and rushed towards the west city wall.

At the same time, the remaining three walls were similar to the west wall, and soldiers and horses also began to move towards the collapsed city wall.

The explosion sound gradually decreased, and finally disappeared without a trace.

It was replaced by loud shouts of killing.

King Zhou has already arrived in the main hall of the palace. He is holding a shining Yanling saber in his right hand, his eyes are wide open, and he is commanding the servants in the palace to carry the things in the palace anxiously.

At this moment, the sound of the explosion above the city suddenly disappeared.

King Zhou looked in the direction of the city wall, was taken aback for a moment, and then murmured: "Could it be that Sun Chuanting defended the city wall and Zhao thief gave up attacking the city?"

As soon as he said this, King Zhou regretted it.

"Impossible, Sun Chuanting can't hold the city wall.

According to Sun Chuanting, the artillery of Zhao Thief was so powerful that the explosion on the top of the city just now resounded non-stop, and Sun Chuanting could not have defended it.

Could it be that the reason why the city wall was breached and the sound of explosions on the top of the city disappeared was because the thief Zhao had entered the city? " Zhou Wang said with an incredulous expression on his face.

"No, it must be the thief Zhao who has entered the city." King Zhou panicked instantly. He looked at the servants who were busy in the hall, and shouted at the top of his voice: "I am afraid that the thief Zhao has entered the city. I don’t want anything, you follow the widow to the backyard and prepare to escape!”

Compared with King Fu of Jin, King Zhou took these external things very lightly. In his opinion, only the wealth and life of himself and his family were the most important.

King Zhou hurried to the backyard with everyone in the hall.

At the same time, the soldiers and horses of the first echelon had crossed the collapsed city wall and entered Kaifeng Fucheng.

In history, the city of Kaifeng, which was not broken by Li Zicheng several times, was under the artillery of Zhao Wen, and did not last even a day.

After the soldiers and horses rushed into the city, they did not rush into the city immediately.

Instead, follow the stairs behind the city wall to kill the city wall and take over the city wall.

Not all the soldiers crowded on the stairs escaped. When the soldiers and horses of the first echelon rushed up, some soldiers hurriedly fled back.

For a moment, the crowds fleeing down the city and those fleeing up the city were completely crowded together.

Wu Zhen looked at the soldiers rushing into the city, his face changed drastically, "It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over now, Bandit Zhao has entered the city."

Wu Xuan was crying and frightened.

At this time, Sun Chuanting also reacted, he struggled and jumped off the shoulders of the guard who was carrying him.

He looked at the soldiers and horses who had rushed into the city under the city, with regret on his face.

He didn't know where to throw the long sword in his hand. He pulled out the waist knife from the waist of the guard next to him, put it across his neck, and shouted sadly: "If you want to kill a thief, you can't recover. Your Majesty, I failed to defend the city of Kaifeng, I apologize with death!"
