Chapter 221: Tragic East Gate
Chapter 221: Tragic East Gate
Zhou Changsheng, the captain of the Huchen tribe, was ordered to fill the gap in the East Gate and block the enemies from escaping the city.
But just as he was leading two teams to fill in the earth and rocks and move the corpses, a cavalry unit from the rear of Hu Xinshui's left camp in the city had already galloped towards this side and was gradually reaching the city gate!
"General Bai! General Bai!"
"Oh no! The enemy soldiers in the city are escaping!" A soldier leaned on the parapet inside the city wall, looked inside, and reported in panic.
After hearing the report, Zhou Changsheng was startled, and then he shouted orders.
"Push the kerosene!"
"Throw the remaining kerosene into the door!"
"Burn these bastards to death!" Changsheng roared.
"Yes! Yes!" Hearing the voice, the soldiers in front of him moved.
"And! Quick! Go to the southern section of the gap and give orders. Move quickly! Make sure to seal the gap before the rebel cavalry turns around!"
"Damn it! A man escaped. Military law should be applied!"
"Hurry!" Changsheng ordered again.
After receiving the order, the soldier hurried south.
At the East Gate, following Changsheng's order, jars of kerosene were thrown down at the same time.
Then, a torch was thrown out, and there was a loud bang!
At the city gate, flames blazed!
The vanguard of the fleeing enemy cavalry approached and were horrified when they saw this situation. Their horses were frightened and dared not move forward for a while!
While the fleeing enemies were hesitating, Zhou Changsheng quickly led three or four soldiers, hid inside the city wall, and holding muskets and bows and arrows, he fired wildly at the enemies inside the pass!
Suddenly, there was no way to shoot and kill or injure anyone!
But what can be done? At this moment, more and more cavalrymen are fleeing to the East Gate. Even though Changsheng is brave and powerful, it is still difficult to deter the enemy soldiers!
Soon, there was an obvious blockage in front of the east gate of the city due to too many enemy cavalry.
The garrison soldiers led by Zhou Changsheng this time were only two small teams, with more than twenty people!
Now, most of them are engaged in filling the city gates, carrying earth and rocks, etc. Only three or four archers are helping Changsheng to resist the enemy and shoot at the people under the city. This firepower is not enough at all. There are so many enemy soldiers, it seems that they can never be killed!
Moreover, at this moment, because of the large number of gathered enemy bandits, pushing and shoving, some soldiers could no longer hold back and began to take risks, rushing out tentatively in flames!
Suddenly, a group of riders appeared on horseback, rushing out from the sea of fire at the city gate!
The fire man and the fire horse wailed and flapped their wings, spontaneously combusting and setting themselves on fire, but they rushed out of the pass regardless of the danger.
These pioneers were burning with flames all over their bodies, they looked so miserable!
Under the dark night sky outside the city, flames were flying in the wilderness, so dazzling!
Horror!
At the same time, outside the East Gate City, looking at the tragic scene of the flaming troops breaking out of the city from afar, there was a pair of eyes, slightly narrowed, full of resentment, staring at the gate from the east!
moment!
Boom boom boom!
Outside the city, the Guanning Army's Tiger Crouching Cannon fired again! Directly hitting the East Gate!
A round of artillery fire streaked across the night sky and fell straight down!
Boom boom boom!
at once!
The earth and rock filling that Changsheng had just led his men to fill was blown away and scattered in an instant!
All efforts have been wasted, reduced to zero and no longer exist!
At this moment, Changsheng had no time to dodge or hide, as he was right above the doorway.
The explosion caused by the simultaneous firing of multiple artillery pieces was so powerful and destructive that it was beyond human control!
In just a few breaths, the entire East Gate Tower almost collapsed!
In the artillery fire, Changsheng was lucky enough to survive and was not directly killed by artillery shells and flying rocks.
But at the same time, the other soldiers in front of him were not so lucky!
More than a dozen people were seriously injured or died!
"what!"
"my leg!"
After surviving the catastrophe, Changsheng had no time to celebrate his happiness before a piercing pain came from his lower body.
He felt his leg and was immediately shocked!
At this moment, because the pillars in front of the city wall were blown to pieces and the broken walls behind him were peeling off and falling down, Changsheng's legs were crushed and he couldn't move at all!
In addition, in front of the city gate, the cavalry in the rear of Hu Xinshui's left camp, who had been blocking and preparing to storm the city, were also greatly affected by the powerful bombing!
It is said that water and fire are merciless, but the same is true for cannonballs!
How could Wu Sangui outside the city know the situation inside the city?
So he bombarded it recklessly, and it blew up. The aftermath caused rocks to fly everywhere, and in just a moment, more than a hundred enemy cavalrymen gathered in the East Gate were killed or injured!
Something unexpected happened!
The cavalry in the city were also completely stunned!
After a brief chaos, they hurriedly retreated to avoid the danger of secondary shelling.
But behind him, there were flammable materials such as dynamite and explosives buried all over the city. At this time, while the raging fire was chasing him, many explosions began to be heard in the city!
These unlucky enemy soldiers are now in a state of being unable to move forward or backward, and are unable to advance or retreat!
Just like an ant on hot fire, it's so painful to survive!
"General Bai! General Bai!"
"Where are the people?!"
"Where is it?!"
After the explosion, a large cloud of dust and smoke rose!
Erzhuer screamed anxiously and ran to the city wall and then to the city tower to look for him.
"what!"
"Here! I'm here!" Changsheng roared back in pain.
"what?!"
"Bai, Bai Zong!"
"This"
"People, come quickly!"
"Here comes someone!"
"Quick! Mr. Bai has found it!"
"Everyone come over here and lend a hand, Mr. Bai is being crushed by the broken wall!"
The two Zhuers had just obeyed the order and took a few people to call Zhou Changsheng to move the corpses to the upper road. This is how they escaped the disaster and were not affected by this round of bombardment!
Seeing the situation here suddenly change, he was worried about the safety of Bai Zong Changsheng, so he immediately led the seven or eight people in front of him and rushed over to help check.
Afterwards, these people first tried to pry open the half of the broken wall that was covering General Bai's lower body.
But unfortunately, the wall tiles are extremely solid and integrated, and it is difficult to move them in a short period of time, and there is no suitable tool at hand!
So in a hurry, they had to change their approach hastily. Er Zhuer then ordered a few more people to try to rely on brute force to lift up and move the huge piece of broken wall!
"Come on! Everyone, come at me! Let's lift up this broken wall and pull out Bai Zong!"
"Hurry! Come on!"
"I'll say one, two, three, and everyone should work together!"
"one two Three!"
"rise--"
"what--"
Following Erzhuer's orders, the seven or eight soldiers in front of him gritted their teeth and put in all their strength, using the burning materials ignited by the explosion around them to illuminate the place. Their faces turned red and veins on their heads bulged!
You can see how heavy the broken wall is!
Gradually, everyone worked together and managed to lift a corner of the broken wall!
Zhou Changsheng saw hope of escape!
But at this critical juncture!
suddenly!
The tiger crouching cannons outside the city are firing again!
Boom boom boom!
The house leaked, but it rained all night, and the boat was late and encountered a strong wind!
A new round of artillery fire once again exploded at the East Gate!
With the huge explosion, bricks and rocks flew everywhere!
The smoke and dust rose again!
"what--"
"Ah!" Zhou Changsheng wailed in pain. This time, he almost passed out from the severe pain!
He could clearly feel the broken wall falling on his legs again!
His legs were almost smashed to pieces!
