At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 495 Kill Your Family

Yang Dan rushed to the tower of Deshengmen in a hurry and asked, "What happened?"

Yang Hong looked at him with a serious face, and then handed over a telescope.

"This is……"

"See for yourself!"

Yang Dan picked up the binoculars and looked in the direction Yang Dan pointed. About two hundred steps away, there were three people kneeling.

The distance was really far, and he couldn't see the face clearly. He turned the lens to focus, and his vision gradually became clearer.

"what!"

Yang Dan suddenly lost his legs and fell to the ground.

Those three people turned out to be his wife and two sons!
This blow was too great for him, he just felt his eyes go dark and passed out.

Yang Hong looked at the unconscious Yang Dan, and for some reason, he suddenly felt less grief in his heart.

"Master Yang, they are going to kill someone!"

Yang Hong picked up the binoculars on the ground, and sure enough, someone walked over with a knife, and it seemed that he was about to strike.

"Quick, wake up Yang Shaoqing!"

The crowd was in a hurry, among those who kept pinching Yang Dan, it took a while to relax.

"Brother Wu Xiang, help, help..."

Yang Dan instinctively wanted to ask for help, but thinking of the current situation, and Yang Hong's son Yang Jun who was stabbed not long ago, he finally swallowed the second half of the sentence.

"Brother Bocheng, you... my condolences!"

With a look of grief on his face, Yang Hong helped Yang Dan up from the ground and handed over the telescope.

Yang Dan didn't understand Yang Hong's meaning, so he didn't answer, but said: "That's all, it's over, it's fate!"

"You'd better take a look!"

Yang Hong handed over the telescope again, Yang Dan had no choice but to pick it up and put it in front of his eyes.

In the field of vision, three heads fell to the ground...

"puff!"

Yang Dan spat out a mouthful of old blood and fainted again.

"Brother Bocheng, brother Bocheng!"

Yang Hong pressed Yang Dan's shoulder and shook it vigorously. It may be because Yang Dan was stimulated twice in a short period of time. At this time, Yang Dan was already a little confused and muttering in his mouth.

"You guys, take Yang Shaoqing down to rest."

"Yes!"

The crowd once again helped Yang Dan up and down the city wall.

Yang Hong picked up the binoculars, saw three corpses on the ground, and said to himself: "Why is his son beheaded, it's not fair..."

In the camp north of the city, Zhu Qizhen was already giving the final order.

The Academy of Sciences worked tirelessly to produce [-] manned Kongming lanterns and [-] black powder bombs in bamboo tubes.

Daming's technology has developed to yellow gunpowder, even smokeless gunpowder is in the process of research and development, black gunpowder has almost been completely eliminated, and it is only used to make firecrackers on weekdays.

This time, the bamboo tube bomb produced in a rush was a little less powerful, but fortunately, the production process was simple, and as justice from heaven, its lethality should not be underestimated.

Now there is another problem. Neither Sanqianying nor Beihaiwei have ever been in contact with Kongming lanterns, and they don't know how to operate them at all.

Li Zhen took the lead and said: "Please rest assured, the emperor, the three thousand battalion will definitely complete the task!"

Bellin persuaded: "Kongming lanterns are very complicated, and you don't know how to operate them at all."

Li Zhen was dissatisfied, and retorted: "Isn't it just to fly up and throw bombs, what's the problem?"

"It's not that simple, you don't even know how to read the wind gauge, it's very dangerous to fly up."

"What's wrong with the danger? The [-] Battalion has fought so many battles, when was it ever afraid?"

"Don't worry, Rui Guogong. What I mean is, you can't even control the direction of flight, how can you drop bombs accurately?"

Li Zhen thought for a while and said, "You give emergency training to the soldiers now. I will issue a death order to the whole battalion. I must pick out a hundred people who have learned it!"

Belin shook her head and said, "If you want to master the Kongming Lantern, you need at least [-] flight tests. In one night, you can't even talk about the basic structure."

Li Zhen finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said, "Since no one can operate it, what's the use of making this thing?"

"Who said no one?"

"Did not you say……"

"What I'm talking about is that it's difficult for ordinary people to learn it in a short time, but the Academy of Sciences has it ready!"

Only then did Li Zhen come to her senses, and hurriedly shook her hand and said, "No, no, why are you scholars going to fight?"

"What happened to the scholar?"

Bei Lin was unwilling, and said: "Duke Rui has forgotten, who captured Juyongguan?"

Li Zhen was choked speechless, so she could only look at Zhu Qizhen.

Belin continued: "The minister is asking for a fight on behalf of the Academy of Sciences, please order the emperor!"

Zhu Qizhen had the same concerns as Li Zhen. It was not easy for the imperial court to train a scientific researcher, and the price was a bit high for them to go to the front to fight.

However, right now, there really isn't a more suitable candidate than the Academy of Sciences.

The situation in the capital is unknown, if it continues to drag on, I don't know what troubles will happen.

Seeing this, Belin said again: "Your Majesty, give the order!"

Zhu Qizhen sighed heavily, and said: "All Qings listen to the order!"

Everyone cheered up and waited for further instructions.

"Launch a general attack at midnight tonight, Beihaiwei disperses and launch a feint attack on all the city gates. Remember, it's just a feint attack, don't love to fight. As long as the enemy fights back, evacuate immediately!"

Ha Ming saluted and said: "I obey the order!"

Zhu Qizhen looked at Li Zhen and said, "The Three Thousand Battalion is waiting for the order to attack Deshengmen with all its strength!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

"Academy of Science..."

Zhu Qizhen paused, and continued: "The Academy of Sciences is waiting for the order to attack Deshengmen!"

Bellin excitedly said: "I obey the order!"

After explaining all this, Zhu Qizhen said earnestly: "In this battle, I will advance and retreat with the soldiers!"
-
At sunset on the western mountain, in the backyard of Yang's residence, everyone is plotting.

Yan Chengjin, head of the household department, whispered: "Have you heard that the train going south was robbed yesterday?"

Immediately, people gathered around and asked, "Can the train be hijacked? What happened to the people on board?"

"It seems to be dismissed on the spot."

"The one in the north of the city didn't kill them?"

Yang Dan's heart trembled, and his tone was cold: "Everyone, today is the deadline, we can't wait any longer!"

Everyone looked at Yang Dan one after another, Yan Chengjin noticed the strangeness on his face, and said, "Yang Shaoqing, your face is a little ugly, are you sick?"

Yang Dan gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine!"

"I have a little understanding of the art of Qi and Huang, and Yang Shaoqing's voice is also wrong. Is it because the jaw is tight, or is the throat swollen, and the breath is not smooth?"

Seeing that the concern on Yan Chengjin's face didn't seem to be faking, Yang Danke had no choice but to restrain the urge to beat him up.

"Let's get down to business!"

Yan Chengjin nodded quickly and said, "Oh, yes, let's get down to business first..."

After a week, Yang Dansao said coldly: "Everyone has seen the current situation. The one in the north of the city is immortal, and none of you here will survive. We are running out of time!"

"Not bad!"

Yang Hong took the conversation and continued: "There is no turning back when you open the bow. Now the only option is to capture the imperial city, support the crown prince to ascend the throne, and abolish that emperor's title. There is no other way to go."

"The imperial palace is guarded by Jin Yiwei, we don't have soldiers, we can't attack."

"According to what we have discussed, pull the defenders and artillery over, and forcefully attack!"

"However, if the one in the north of the city took advantage of the emptiness of the city defenses and launched an attack, what should we do?"

"He is not a roundworm in our stomachs, how could he know our plan? What's more, the walls of the capital city are thick and they don't have heavy firearms. How can they attack the city?"

"How did Juyongguan pass without heavy firearms?"

"Juyongguan was just an accident. Besides, how can Juyongguan be compared with the capital?"

"That's right. If they had heavy weapons in their hands, they would have started attacking a long time ago. How could it have dragged on until today?"

"Then use the artillery, the matter has come to an end, there is nothing to worry about."

Everyone has everything you say and what you say.

In the end, it was decided to pull the city fire cannon over and forcibly blast open the gate of the Forbidden City.

Naturally, Yang Hong was still in charge of this matter. In order to ensure the firepower of Desheng Gate, he specially transported four cannons from the east and south gates.

At midnight, a dark cloud covered the moon and the sky grew darker.

Yang Hong personally held the formation, and after preparing to blast open the gate of the imperial city, he rushed in immediately and controlled the prince.

"kill!"

There was a sudden cry of killing in the silent night sky, and Yang Hong hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

"My lord, it seems to be Guang'anmen, someone is attacking Guang'anmen!"

Yang Hong was startled suddenly, unexpectedly, the other party went with him.

Even if he wins the imperial city tonight, and others win the capital, he will still die.

After much deliberation, the most important thing is to defend the city.

"Push the artillery over and wait for my order!"

"Yes!"

A group of soldiers continued to push the artillery towards the Meridian Gate, while Yang Hong hurried to Guang'anmen.

The lights outside the city were already brightly lit, and thousands of soldiers and horses could be seen launching an attack.

"Fire, fire back!"

The gunner was quickly in position, measured distances and angles, loaded the shells, and fired.

"boom!"

After a muffled sound, the cannon spit out a string of violent flames, and the shells flew across the night sky like meteors, hitting the opponent's camp.

"Boom!"

The first cannonball exploded, and the huge shock wave overturned more than a dozen cavalrymen, immediately disrupting the charge formation.

"Ding ding ding..."

There was a rapid beeping sound, and the opponent suddenly stopped charging and retreated.

"Boom!"

The second shell exploded, but few people were hit, because the large force had already withdrawn.

Yang Hong is so angry and funny, these people are too cowardly, will it be over with one shot?
From this point of view, things seem to be simpler than I imagined.

He stretched out his hand to caress the cannon, full of pride that "with a cannon in hand, I own the world".

It's really cool to fight with this thing!

Now that the opponent's attack has been defeated, the next task is to blast the Forbidden City.

"kill!"

However, he had just come down from the city wall, and before he had gone far, he heard the sound of killing again.

Are these people coming back again?
Yang Hong had to go back to Guang'anmen, but he didn't see a single soldier.

Listen carefully, the sound seems to come from Youanmen.

It seemed that this group of people couldn't attack Guang'anmen, so they changed their targets.

When Yang Hong hurried to You'anmen, the opponent had already retreated completely.

He vaguely sensed that the situation was wrong, and he ran away as soon as he showed his head. This was not for fighting at all.

At this time, messengers continued to report, and multiple city gates were attacked at the same time.

Yang Hong felt that the matter was not simple. The opponent did not carry large siege weapons, so why did they spread out their forces?

Vaguely, he had a premonition.

Maybe the other party's real goal is not here...

Oops, Deshengmen!

Thinking of this, he hurriedly gathered his troops and hurried to Deshengmen.

It was already midnight, and there was a crescent moon and stars in the sky.

It's a pity that he didn't have time to enjoy such a wonderful night view. After rushing to Deshengmen, he found it surprisingly quiet.

Almost all other city gates have been attacked, only this one seems to have been forgotten.

"Be vigilant, the opponent's real target is probably Deshengmen."

After Yang Hong's order was conveyed, all the soldiers guarding the city cheered up and waited for the upcoming siege battle.

Many of them didn't know that the current emperor was outside the city, and they thought it was a Tatar invasion.

It's no wonder that as a low-level soldier, he won't have much access to information, as long as he obeys the commander's order.

During the waiting period, some people looked at the sky boredly. Many stars twinkled and twinkled, erratic.

For some reason, these stars seem to be different from what they usually see.

"Hey, look at those stars."

"what happened?"

"It seems to be moving, is it my eyes?"

"Don't tell me, I'm moving when I look at it."

"This thing won't fall, will it?"

Whoosh!
While the two were talking, a star really fell down.

Although the starlight is dim, it is still very obvious to draw a line in the dark night sky.

"It really fell..."

Boom!

The two were wondering why the star would fall, and the star had already exploded before their eyes.

Within [-] steps around, iron nails and gravel flew randomly, and an unknown number of people fell to the ground in response.

Boom!

Boom!

One after another the stars began to fall, and then exploded like giant firecrackers.

In other words, these are firecrackers.

Mei Chunfei flew in the air, picked up the bamboo tube bomb, ignited the fuse, and dropped it casually.

This thing is to fill a thick bamboo tube with black powder and gravel iron nails, and burn coal to seal it. It is simple to make, low in cost, and the impact of the explosion is very limited. However, the lethality of gravel and iron nails in a crowd But very impressive.

Boom!

Suddenly, there was a loud noise on the city wall, and someone blew up the warehouse where the shells were stored.

Five hundred bamboo tube bombs, five for each person, were quickly thrown away.

Mei Chun observed the anemometer, adjusted the flame and angle of the oil lamp, and slowly fell down.

When they approached the city wall, they found that there was already a sea of ​​flames. More than half of the defenders were killed or injured, and they were all crying for their fathers and mothers.

"rush!"

"kill!"

The [-] Battalion received the signal and rushed to the city gate with all their strength.

Zhu Qizhen stayed behind the team, closely observing the battle situation.

The task of the Academy of Sciences is completed, and the next step is to hand it over to the [-] Battalion...

Wait!
Suddenly, he realized that something was wrong.

According to the original plan, these Kongming Lanterns were going to fly back after dropping the bombs.

However, for some reason, all the lights flew towards the city.

Is it a matter of wind direction?
It shouldn't be, the Academy of Sciences is already very proficient in controlling Kongming lanterns, how could it make such a big mistake?
Suddenly, he was startled!
Belin must have planned it a long time ago, after dropping the bomb, she will open the city gate!
