The last three kingdoms

Chapter 429 The City Wall Falls Down
The attack on the North Three Gates of Chang'an was more intense than the second day's attack, and the initial stage was the same as the second day, only bed crossbows, catapults and crossbow troops were used for long-range attacks, but as the battle progressed, The siege troops also joined in and began to use ladders to attack the north city wall.

Qianhong and Wang Qi personally supervised the battle on the front line, commanding the right army and the rear army to launch a powerful attack on the three north gates of Chang'an.

This order was naturally issued by Liu Yin. With the completion of the gunpowder filling in the tunnel of the southern city wall, the blasting will be carried out soon. After the blasting destroys the city wall, Yang'an camp, Wudang camp, and Hubu camp will all be put into the battlefield one after another. If the Wei army deploys heavy troops in the southern city, when the Shu army enters Chang'an City, the street fighting will be very difficult. In order to reduce the attack pressure of the Shu army in the southern city, it is necessary to appropriately strengthen the offensive in the northern city at this time. Attract the attention of the Shu army to the north, so that there is a gap in the south, and provide some help for the Shu army to enter the city.

After Qianhong and Wang Qi received the order, they naturally spared no effort to launch an attack. For a while, under the northern city wall of Chang'an, the Shu army gathered like ants, and they climbed the entire city wall densely.

Sima Wang stayed on the north city wall all day today to supervise the battle. He appeared there when the Shu army attacked. He thought that the Shu army's offensive today would end in the same way as yesterday, but after the sun turned west, the Shu army But suddenly exerted force and launched the most violent offensive, which caught the Wei army who had been somewhat sloppy defending the city off guard. The defense of the north city wall fell into a passive state for a while, showing a dangerous state of splendens.

Facing the tide-like offensive of the Shu army, the soldiers around Sima Wang turned pale, and hurriedly suggested that Sima Wang transfer the defenders from the other three places to come for reinforcements.

Sima Wang was very calm and didn't act rashly. Don't look at the offensive of the Shu army, but now he can't figure out whether the Shu army is feigning an attack. If the defenders of the other three places are mobilized without authorization, the defense forces in other places will inevitably be weakened. If the Shu army took the opportunity to suddenly launch a strong attack on one of the other three places, it would not be a good start.

Therefore, Sima Wang did not mobilize the soldiers and horses of the other three places, but only mobilized the reserve team in the city to help defend the northern city wall. If the Shu army is found to have abnormal movements, it must be put into defensive battles as soon as possible.

"Report to the young master, the gunpowder has been filled, please show me when it will explode!" The military marquis of the firearms song came out of the tunnel, ran to Liu Yin, and reported to Liu Yin.

According to general war movies, before launching the general attack, the commander-in-chief will raise his wrist to look at his watch. Unfortunately, this is the Three Kingdoms era, and there are no watches for Liu Yin to pretend to be aggressive. The soldiers behind him have hourglasses on their backs. Rely on the hourglass.But Liu Yin didn't look at the hourglass, he looked up at the sun, it's about three o'clock in the afternoon, according to the ancient time, it's Shen time now.

Since Chang'an City is large enough, the battle situation in the North City can hardly be heard here, but Liu Yin can imagine that Qianhong and Wang Qi launched a strong attack in the North City, which will inevitably cause some troubles to the Wei army defending the city. The defenders of the city wall were not transferred to the north gate, but at least Wei Jun's attention has been completely attracted to the north city now, and now it is the right time to blast the south city wall.

"Explode immediately!" Liu Yin gave the order to explode.

"No!" The military marquis of the firearm song gave the order, turned around and ran to the entrance of the tunnel, but this time he did not enter the cave, but gave the command to blast the firearm song soldiers in the tunnel.

The scene was silent, and everyone held their breath, waiting for this historic moment.

Liu Yin looked back at Wei Xuewu behind him, and found that her eyes were fixed on the city wall of Chang'an City, her face turned pale, Liu Yin quietly held her left hand, the tentacles were as cool as jade, soft and tender. If there is no bone.He smiled lightly and said, "Xue Wu, don't be too nervous."

"Wen Xuan, are you sure you will succeed?" Wei Xuewu asked with concern.

Liu Yin smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry, you have seen the power of gunpowder. No matter how strong the walls of Chang'an City are, they will definitely not be able to resist the explosive force of three thousand catties of gunpowder."

Wei Xuewu nodded, but her eyes were still serious. She had seen a single bamboo tube grenade before, and its power was indeed astonishing, but she had never seen gunpowder used in siege operations. The gunpowder was packed into six carts. Wei Xuewu saw them being sent into the tunnel with her own eyes. However, the walls of Chang'an City are so majestic and majestic, and these gunpowder can hardly shake them. Not only her, but also Even the other people around Liu Yin didn't know what to do.

Whether Liu Yin's promise to conquer Chang'an within three days can be fulfilled depends only on these gunpowder. Everyone's eyes are focused on the city wall, silently waiting for the miracle to happen.

Since the tunnel is several miles long, it will take a long time for the order to reach the detonation point under the city wall after the order is issued.Most of the soldiers with firearms in the tunnel had already evacuated, leaving only the soldiers responsible for detonating, and the fuse was left long enough to ensure that the soldiers who ignited could escape from the tunnel.

Time passed by breath by breath, staring at a target, everyone's eyes were a little sleepy, and just as many people blinked, there was a sudden loud noise like thunder from the ground.

"Boom--"

The sound was really too loud, it shook the eardrums of all the people present, and the ground under their feet trembled visibly. It felt like a boat sailing in the waves, and the ground also surged up, shaking everyone dizzy.

If people who were several miles away felt the huge earthquake, then the Wei soldiers on the south wall of Chang'an seemed to be standing in the stormy waves, and the entire city wall shook violently.The first feeling of the guards was like a strong air current, throwing them into the air together with the city wall, and then the city wall shook back and forth again, the range was very large, and the guards stood on the top of the city, as if standing On a lone boat in the huge waves of the vast ocean, surrounded by strong winds and huge waves, he was desperate and helpless.

After the huge earthquake, the entire city wall collapsed inevitably. Amidst the huge roar, the city wall known as the strongest in the world collapsed.
