Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 683 The Pleasure Brought by the Thunder

Although the accuracy of the thunders they threw was not high, they could still throw two out of ten into the city gate.

Others were thrown onto the city wall. For a moment, flames shot up into the sky and explosions sounded one after another inside and outside the city.

Zhao Gui stood in front of the battle line, looking at the tall city in the distance, feeling very proud.

With such an attack, it would take less than half a day to blow through the city gate, and then 50,000 people would rush in.

Without the barrier of the city walls, the 30,000 rebels would certainly not be able to withstand the attack of 50,000 people.

Therefore, he issued a military order to capture the Jingdong City within ten days, but it only took one day.

"Come here, pass on my order, blast all the thunder away for me."

The messenger immediately conveyed his order to the ears of the general in front of the catapult.

There were a total of six catapults and seventy or eighty coarse porcelain jars of thunder, which were thrown wildly.

In an instant, the west gate of Jingdong City, within a radius of dozens of feet, turned into a sea of ​​fire.

“Hahaha…it really feels good!”

Zhao Gui felt the sharp attack of the Zhenxi Army. The rebels on the city wall were blown away and hid here and there. He couldn't help laughing.

As expected, half an hour later, the suspension bridge that was suspended high in the air suddenly fell down.

The chains holding up the suspension bridge were blown off.

Zhao Gui immediately waved his hand: "The battering ram moves forward, smashing the city gate, attacking the camp from a distance, and suppressing the rebels on the city wall."

Following his order, a siege vehicle loaded with thick tree trunks, pushed by more than twenty soldiers, rushed across the drawbridge and advanced into the city gate.

Soldiers on the city wall were shooting arrows and throwing stones.

Suddenly, a dark cloud of feather arrows rose from the team here and scattered towards the top of the city.

The two sides attacked and defended, and the battle was fierce.

The city gate had already caught fire and was in some pieces due to the fire and explosion. The battering ram only hit it twice before it collapsed with a loud bang.

A soldier gestured outside, indicating that the city gate had been broken.

Zhao Gui was overjoyed and immediately waved his hand: "All troops, attack! Break the city and kill the enemy!"

All the generals were very excited. They had never fought such a refreshing battle before. This general was indeed powerful and was worthy of being the emperor's favorite.

How can you win the emperor's favor without any skills?

With a deafening shout, 50,000 horses rushed towards the city gate like a flood breaking through a dam.

The rebels in front of the city gate only symbolically resisted for a moment before they scattered and fled.

The generals of each team led their troops into the city.

Like a large stream of water, it seeps into every gap.

Large numbers of imperial guards could be seen on the streets and in the alleys.

In less than half an hour, all 50,000 troops flowed into the city of Jingdong.

Zhao Gui, surrounded by five hundred guards, was the last one to step into the city gate.

The city of Jingdong is much larger than the Acropolis. Although 50,000 people are not a small number, if they are all dispersed into the city, it would be like pouring a basin of clear water into a pile of sand.

Almost immediately, everyone disappeared.

According to the previous deployment, each general led his team to reap the lives of the rebels and occupy the enemy's command center.

Destroy as many of the rebel forces as possible.

Zhao Gui shouted loudly after entering the city gate.

"Let's go find the rebel headquarters and send a message to all teams. All battle reports must be delivered to the headquarters in a timely manner."

The guards continued forward.

Generally, a city defense command center is located at an intersection with clear streets and well-connected roads.

When Zhao Gui and his guards advanced more than a mile along the wide street, they suddenly heard shouts of killing behind them.

"Well, what's going on?"

Someone shouted.

Zhao Gui arranged the defense of the city gate. After attacking the city gate, he left behind a thousand soldiers and horses to take over the city gate defense area to prevent the rebels from escaping the city.

But when he just entered the city, he saw soldiers climbing up to the top of the city wall, and the defense area was full of a large number of royal guards.

How could the rebels immediately flee out of the city?

"Go check out the situation and report back immediately."

As Zhao Gui's order was issued, soldiers rode their horses towards the city gate.

The rest of the people continued to move forward.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the soldiers who went to investigate the situation came back in a hurry.

"Report, General, the rebels have captured the city gate defense area, and our city defense team has been dispersed."

"What? How many rebels are there?"

"General, there are probably thousands of them."

"Why are there so many?"

Zhao Gui was a little confused. It was normal for small groups of rebels to flee after his 50,000 troops broke into the city, but how could they not be defeated when there were thousands of troops, which could be said to be an organized team?

"Go, notify each department separately, mobilize troops, and retake the city gate defense area."

Zhao Gui remained calm.

Four or five messenger soldiers immediately rode their horses in various directions.

Zhao Gui took a deep breath and waved his hand.

"Keep going and find their headquarters."

The five hundred guards continued to move forward, some breaking into the gates on the street to check the situation.

Of course, they are all wealthy and powerful families, and the small families disdain to enter.

Another quarter of an hour later, a soldier shouted loudly.

"Found it, General. The rebel headquarters is here."

Just as everyone was moving towards the source of the shouting, suddenly several soldiers, their bodies in a dishevel and covered in blood, ran out from a corner.

They ran while shouting: "General, we have been tricked, there are too many rebels..."

The guards could see clearly that those soldiers were all dressed as members of the Imperial Guard, and were undoubtedly their own people.

"Quick, find out the situation."

The guards quickly stepped forward to stop the soldiers.

"what happened?"

"Quick, report to the general, the rebels are ambushing..."

Zhao Gui didn't need anyone to report it. When he heard this, his heart sank.

Damn, there’s an ambush?

That's impossible. I broke into the city normally and didn't find anything unusual.

While he was still hesitating, a few soldiers came running for their lives from another direction, their armor scattered and their bodies covered in blood.

It looks like he has just been through a fight.

"General, it's bad, we've been ambushed..."

It was still the same cry.

Zhao Gui felt that something must have changed. The rebels had 30,000 troops in the city. There might be an ambush, but could they withstand his 50,000 troops?

"Don't panic, explain the situation carefully."

Some of the soldiers shouted loudly.

"General, my 3,000 men were surrounded by rebels as soon as we entered a street. Most of them were shot down by arrows. The rebels are estimated to be 5,000 to 6,000 strong."

Another added: "We fought our way out, and saw rebels everywhere."

Zhao Gui grimaced as if he had a toothache.

"Inform all departments to advance steadily. I don't believe that 50,000 people can't defeat 30,000."

The messenger took the order and left.

Zhao Guiyi waved his hand and said, "Let's go into the command center."

All the guards had already rushed into the mansion in front of them and were searching and clearing out suspicious items.

Zhao Gui dismounted, strode up the steps and walked into the gate.

"Everyone, don't panic. The rebels will be wiped out soon. Jingdong City has been recaptured by us."

The guards around him immediately shouted loudly in excitement.

"The general is so powerful that he broke the city on the first day."

Following the guard's shouts, Zhao Gui arrived at the door of a tall house in front of him.
