Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 356 Thunder Breaks the City ([-])

Except for Anton Iron Cavalry itself, and tens of thousands of Tang Fan allied forces, no one believed Li Fei's remarks.

Anton Iron Cavalry really wanted to take over the subsequent siege battles on their own until they captured Chang'an City.You know, Anton's iron cavalry are all cavalry, so is it possible to dismount and fight on foot?This is a great waste.

To say that Li Fei is just impulsive and arrogant, but all the terrifying achievements that Li Fei has achieved in these years are all due to impulsive and arrogant.

The [-] Anton cavalry rode their horses in front, facing the Chang'an city wall, while the tens of thousands of Tang Fan rebels had already retreated behind the Andong cavalry, waiting eagerly to see how Li Fei and the Anton cavalry broke through Chang'an City.

The evil spirit emanating from Anton's iron cavalry made the rebel soldiers on the city wall depressed and panicked.

During such a long siege, the Tang army suffered heavy casualties, but the rebel army also suffered more than half of the casualties, and it was unclear when reinforcements would come. They lacked confidence in whether they could hold Chang'an City, and their morale was naturally very low.

An Shouzhong saw it from the city wall as early as when Li Fei led Anton's cavalry to arrive.He had heard of the name of Anton Iron Cavalry, and he felt quite pressured, but he would not lose his confidence in continuing to defend Chang'an City because of this.

Staring at the [-] Anton Cavalry lined up in front, the Tang army's infantry, the main force that had originally attacked the city, retreated to the rear. An Shouzhong frowned, wondering what Li Fei and Anton Cavalry wanted to do. Siege?

An Shouzhong didn't wonder how long, because Li Fei was about to start attacking the city.

"The King of Beiping County, Deputy Marshal asked the future to ask, if you need siege equipment such as ladders, you can get them." Wang Sili rode his horse and came to Li Fei and said.

"No, just watch how this king invades Chang'an City!" Li Fei waved his hand with a smile.

"Then the general will just watch the majesty of the county king and Anton's iron cavalry!" Wang Sili was full of admiration for Li Fei, not only because of Li Fei's record, but also because of Li Fei's scolding of the dead eunuch Yu Chaoen just now, which made him very happy. He is willing to believe that Li Fei is by no means arrogant and impulsive, but really has a way to quickly break into Chang'an City.

"Go to bed!" Li Fei waved his hand.

Immediately, some Anton Iron Knights unloaded some parts from the horses, and quickly formed an eight-bed crossbow, which was placed directly at a place only more than 100 meters away from the gate of Chang'an.

Giant arrows with explosives tied to the arrows were placed in it.

"Light it up, let it go!"

"Hoo! Shoo! Shoo!" Eight giant arrows flew out, with the sound of piercing the air, and nailed to the already dilapidated Chang'an city gate.

"Boom!" The explosives carried by the eight giant arrows exploded, the gravel flew, and the flames shot into the sky. The entire city wall trembled violently, and some anti-army soldiers who were caught off guard on the city wall were knocked down.

The rebel soldiers on the city wall were horrified, not knowing what happened.

"What's going on, what happened!" An Shouzhong was shocked, and he couldn't figure out what happened. There was a thunderous explosion, and even the city wall trembled. What kind of thing did Anton's cavalry use to attack? city?

The appearance of gunpowder was originally an epoch-making "thunder". People who saw the power of gunpowder for the first time were horrified.

The dust and smoke dissipated, and the dilapidated city gate had been blown into pieces, revealing the city gate hole blocked by anti-military stones.

"put!"

"Hoo! Shoo! Shoo!" Another eight giant arrows flew out and landed on the stones blocking the city gate.

"Boom!" The flames of the explosion were mixed with a large number of stones that were blown out, and the city wall trembled again, and several rebel soldiers were knocked down before they could prevent it.

The rebels on the city wall were terrified and became a mess.

An Shouzhong also stared at his eyes, full of shock, and didn't even have the heart to appease the chaos of anti-army soldiers on the city wall.

He had already realized what had happened. Anton's cavalry did not know what they had used. The power was so frightening that the city gate would be blown open soon, and it would absolutely be impossible to stop the Tang army from entering the city.

Finished!

An Shouzhong's face was pale and he was helpless. Facing such a blow, he didn't know how to react or how to prepare for it.

Under the city wall, Li Fei and Anton's cavalry generals looked indifferently at the chaotic rebels on the city wall. At most one more time, they could blow open the city gate.

In history, why did the Mongolian iron cavalry attack all the way to the hinterland of Europe, destroying countless countries.Could it be possible to break through the castles along the way by relying on iron cavalry?Of course not.

They relied on the gunpowder they obtained from the Central Plains to blow up the gates and even the walls of the city, and then the cavalry rushed into the city to slaughter.

The first large-scale use of gunpowder in siege warfare was the Western Expedition of the Mongols. Those who experienced the power of gunpowder for the first time, like An Shouzhong at the moment, were helpless and did not know how to react and defend.Because of the gunpowder, the castle was not enough to stop the Mongolian cavalry, forcing the countries along the way to the west to fight with the Mongolian cavalry. They were also not the opponents of the Mongolian cavalry, so countless countries were destroyed by the Mongolian cavalry.

With the development of history, when both opposing sides have gunpowder and gradually accumulate defensive experience, the role of gunpowder becomes less scary.

Unfortunately, Li Fei is the only one who owns gunpowder now, and the gunpowder in Li Fei's hands is much more powerful than the immature gunpowder in the Song Dynasty. It is impossible for others to figure out a way to defend so quickly, so they can only watch. Watching Li Fei slowly blast open the city gate.

"The King of Beiping has such a sharp weapon!" Behind, Guangping King Li Yu, Guo Ziyi and others were shocked.

Guo Ziyi finally knew how Li Fei had managed to reach [-] counties in the five prefectures of Pinglu in just a few days by relying on more than [-] iron cavalry. With such a sharp weapon to destroy the city, what kind of city wall could stop Anton's cavalry.

"Boom!" There was another violent explosion, and the blocked city gate was finally blasted open, and even the city wall next to the city gate was blasted with cracks.

"Kill!" Seeing that the city gate was blown open, Li Fei drew out the horizontal knife and pointed forward.

"Come on!" An Dong's iron cavalry officers and men scrambled to be the first, and charged towards the city of Chang'an.

On the city wall, An Shouzhong and other anti-army soldiers were already trembling from the shock, and before they had time to react, Anton's cavalry had already successfully rushed into the city from the blasted city gate.

"Pfft!" The rebel soldiers blocking the way were beheaded, blood splashing on the ground.

"It's over, it's over!" An Shouzhong's pale face was full of horror. He never thought that Anton's cavalry would have such a terrifying attack method and such a terrifying weapon. No matter how high or thick the city wall was, it didn't matter. Can stop Anton cavalry!
"General, the city of Chang'an cannot be defended, and if the green hills are left, there will be no firewood to burn. Let's run!" An anti-army general shouted at An Shouzhong.

"That's right, you won't have to worry about no firewood if you keep the green hills!" An Shouzhong reacted, his expression was very flustered, and he had no intention of resisting Anton's iron cavalry who had rushed into the city, and brought the rebel soldiers who could be gathered around him , they continued to flee towards the southeast of the city, trying to break out of Chang'an City and escape to heaven.
