Chapter 257 King City
The first to be launched were the forty artillery pieces at the front of the military formation, and all the firepower was concentrated near the gate tower of the west gate of Kaijing.

Through the explosions on the city towers and walls, which splashed up smoke and dust several feet high, Chen Xun understood that the artillery fired explosive shells.

After such a long period of research, the gun factory has developed a trigger mechanism that can be applied in actual combat.

Several flint fuzes are made inside the shell. When the shell flies in the air, the iron ball in the fuze is driven to the rear of the shell.After the artillery shell touched the ground, it suddenly stopped moving forward. The iron ball inside the fuze continued to move forward by relying on inertia, hitting the sharp flint in front of the fuze, causing a large number of sparks to ignite, igniting the ignition powder inside the fuze, and then igniting the explosion inside the artillery shell. medicine.

In order to ensure the success rate of fuse explosion, three fuses are installed inside each shell. After testing, the successful explosion rate exceeded 95%.

This figure is already very high.

With this kind of blooming bullet, you just need to be careful not to load it upside down when loading, and there will be no problems.

In order to prevent the shells from being reversed, the gun factory specially made the shells into a shape with a rounded back and a pointed front, and made a shell at the tip of the shells.

When the artillery shell is loaded backwards, the outer diameter of the cover is larger than the barrel and cannot be loaded.

When the shell is properly loaded, the cover will fall off from the rear due to force and can be collected and reused.

It can be said that this design has been very successful, and Chen Xun can't find any faults with it anyway.

Even if other more advanced propellants and fuzes are developed in the future, this anti-installation protection device can be inherited.

Just as his thoughts wandered for a while, the artillery had already fired three rounds of shells.

The solid bullets sandwiched in the explosive bombs successfully blasted open the city gate of Kaijing.

The Goryeo defenders, who had never seen such a terrifying weapon, collapsed and fled down the city wall crying for their fathers and mothers.

"Attack!!!" Continuous loud orders came from the front.

The naval and marine formations began to advance and rushed into Kaijing City through the broken gate. At the same time, more than 1000 gray wolves entered.

"Come on, let's go in and take a look." Chen Xun ordered.

"Captain, you can go in. Please put on your armor. It's hard to guard against hidden arrows." Chen Zhuang stopped directly in front of Chen Xun.

"Hey, okay." Chen Xun looked at the firm eyes of the guards and reluctantly agreed.

In fact, with his current reaction ability, it is difficult for any hidden arrow to hurt him.

Even if he can be injured, he is absolutely sure to avoid the vital point, and with his "super healing" characteristics, he can heal any injury as long as it is not fatal.

However, he must also consider the concerns of his men, otherwise these personal guards will definitely be blamed by other senior officers.

After spending some time putting on his heavy armor, all the marines and marines in front had entered Kaijing City.

Chen Xun no longer delayed and entered directly through the west gate with his guards on horseback.

As soon as he entered the city, Chen Xun found that all the Korean defenders on the west side of the city had been wiped out.

Residential buildings that were set ablaze by explosive bombs fired into the city were being extinguished by the Koreans commanded by Chen Jiajun.

Continuing forward, after passing two or three streets in a row, Chen Xun saw the Chen family's army suppressing the rebels in the narrow streets.

This was a group of broken soldiers who hid in a residential house. They were discovered by Gray Wolf and attracted a group of Chen's troops.

The resistance ended quickly, and all the defeated soldiers who had taken refuge in civilian houses were cleared out, followed by an old Korean woman who was chasing the Korean soldiers.The rolling pin held in the old woman's hand hit Gao Libing softly, thinking that she was already old and weak.

But this old and weak old woman was able to muster the courage to use a rolling pin to beat the Korean soldiers, which shows that they must have done something evil.

Sure enough, after the captain of the Chen Army entered the residence to inspect, he immediately ordered the captured Gaoli soldiers to be shot on the spot.

"Captain!" After dealing with the prisoners, the captain saw Chen Xun staying at the alley and hurried over to report.

"What did they do?" Chen Xun asked.

"They raped a woman in a Goryeo family and killed a man in the family." The captain replied: "According to the Chen Jiajun wartime control regulations, both crimes are capital crimes, so I executed them on the spot. .”

"Well, well done, continue to complete the mission." Chen Xun ordered.

"Accept the order! Commander!" The captain gave a military salute, led his men, and led the wolf dog into another narrow alley.

Street fighting is like this. There are very few big conflicts. They are all small-scale fighting. It also takes a lot of effort to search, which is very time-consuming.

However, Ke Lei's previous promise to stay at the Goryeo Palace at night was fulfilled early.

After the navy and marines entered the city, they divided into several groups. Three groups rushed to the city gates in other directions, and several groups were assigned to several more important targets, such as military camps, warehouses, etc.

Ke Lei personally led a path straight to the gate of the Goryeo Palace.

All the prominent royal families in the palace had been taken north by Wang Kai. The royal families who stayed in the palace were all unpopular and partial, and the number of guards left behind was also very small.

A round of grenades was thrown in from the top of the wall, and then a human ladder was set up to climb over the wall and enter. The gate of the palace was opened by Chen Jiajun from the inside.

When Chen Xun strolled all the way to the gate of the palace, Ke Lei had suppressed all the resistance inside and cleared out all the men, leaving only some women, intending to let them serve Chen Xun.

Before in Kaifeng, Chen Xun did not live in the imperial city. His subordinates guessed that he might not want to be too public. Now that he is in Korea, a foreign country, he doesn't need to worry about anything else at all, so Ke Lei plans to let Chen Xun enjoy himself here. .

"Captain, be careful where you step. The blood here at the door has not been cleaned yet and is very sticky to your feet." Ke Lei received the notice from his subordinates and quickly rushed to the door to greet him.

"Don't be such a bitch, I won't accept this trick." Chen Xun rolled his eyes, but still paid attention, stepped over the blood flowing on the ground, and entered the royal city.

"How about it? I didn't expect that this small country's royal city would be so big." Ke Lei sighed.

"No matter how small a country is, if it accumulates for 200 years, the royal family's wealth will not be small." Chen Xun replied.

The previous imperial city in Kaifeng was larger and more noble than this one, but this Goryeo Imperial City also has its own unique style.

Influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, some exotic customs have been integrated and changed, which is indeed a unique flavor.

The biggest difference is that this royal city can be said to be purely wooden.

Wood was also used frequently in Kaifeng Imperial City, but the walls and floors were still made of masonry. Many of the walls of this Goryeo Imperial City were actually made of wood, and the interior floors were all wooden floors.

"It seems that Goryeo is mountainous and rocky, and stones have become cheap building materials, so more wood was used to build the royal city." Chen Xun guessed.

"Commander, look, these mortise and tenon structures are really precise, no worse than those in the Central Plains." Ke Lei also sighed.

"Don't underestimate it!" Chen Xun said.
