Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 456 Breakthrough of Moling County
Since she wanted to attack Moling County quickly, Wang Yuyan naturally wouldn't hide her means.

So this time, Wang Yuyan was about to use firecracker grenade. Compared with other siege methods, firecracker grenade may be the most effective means to deal with new recruits like Sun Ce. It was enough to scare them.

But now that this kind of firecracker grenade is used, Wang Yuyan is not going to use a catapult to throw it, and directly chooses a village of about fifty dead soldiers to join in the siege battle with some firecracker grenades.

These dead soldiers mixed with the soldiers who attacked the city by Yu Yu and Chen Heng, found a relatively weak area of ​​the city defenders, climbed the city wall of Moling County, and looked for opportunities to ignite the fire when they approached the city wall. After igniting the fuse, he threw the firecracker grenade directly onto the city wall.

This is more purposeful than the inaccurate projectile with a catapult, and can help these dead soldiers quickly break through a hole in the city wall.

"Boom... Boom..."

On the city wall of Moling County, when the defenders were out of reach, the first firecracker grenade exploded, and immediately tore a defensive hole in the crowded defenders on the city wall.

The firecracker grenade landed directly at the defenders' feet, and as the grenade exploded, two defenders were blown away, and the scattered iron nails and iron pieces naturally killed and injured more than a dozen defenders around them. .

And as the thick black smoke from the firecracker grenade spread, the surrounding defenders scattered in fright, fearing that there was something weird hidden inside, and they had no idea what happened.

Many people's ears were still buzzed by the explosion, and they couldn't hear what others were saying.

At the same time, many people couldn't help but feel deep fear in their hearts when they saw the horrific scenes of those who were killed and injured by the fragments of firecracker grenades.

Unknown things are often more frightening, so one blast of this firecracker grenade scared many of the city defenders in this area out of their wits.

However, the siege fighters chosen by Wang Yuyan took the opportunity to climb up the city wall. The first two sword and shield fighters directly occupied a wall, guarding a space for the follow-up people to climb up safely. , Then after another dead soldier came up, he quickly ignited two firecracker grenades, and threw them into the crowd of defenders gathered on the city wall.

"Boom...Boom...Boom...Boom..."

Accompanied by the explosion of the firecracker grenade, two holes were torn open on the city wall, which also made the defenders on the city wall even more confused. They finally knew that this was the trick of the Zhu Weijun soldiers who attacked the city, but they still Don't know what exactly this means.

The inexplicable fear made them start to guess wildly in their hearts, and some people couldn't help shouting, "Sorcery, sorcerer! They know sorcery!"

"Heavenly thunder cheers, omnipotent! Kill! Kill!"

Just when the defenders in this city wall area were in chaos, more than 50 dead soldiers rushed to the city wall quickly, so shouting loudly, they rushed to the chaotic defenders, and inevitably surrounded them. The overwhelmed defenders forced back a dozen steps.

"The city is broken, rush! Go!"

"Break the city and make meritorious service! Kill!"

The other Zhu guards who attacked the city naturally also took the opportunity to climb up to the breakthrough in the city wall. Even Chen Heng and Yu Fan, who were originally driving the soldiers to attack the city under the city wall, saw that there were already soldiers on their side of the city wall. When the soldiers occupied a certain area, they also took their swords and shields and climbed the ladder to kill on the city wall.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

Another two firecracker grenades exploded on the city wall. The defenders left by Zhou Yu in Moling County finally couldn't hold on, and many people turned around and fled.

They didn't know what Zhu Wei's army threw out, or that only a few people saw Zhu Wei's army throwing firecracker grenades, so most of the defenders just heard a deafening explosion somewhere, and then Seeing a companion in one place, he fell over as black smoke rose.

This feeling is really like the scene of being bombarded by thunder. Many defenders on the city wall really thought that someone on the side of Zhu Wei's army could perform some sorcery and Taoism, which could attract the thunder to bombard their side.

Therefore, these defenders who lacked training and morale were not very high, how could they care about defense, many people turned around and ran for their lives.

Even though Han Dang was still commanding the defense of the city from the top of the city gate, he could only sigh when he saw more and more Zhu Wei soldiers rushing up the city wall, and began to retreat into the city under the protection of the surrounding guards.

And as Chen Heng and Yu Fan also went up to the city wall, no one in the west gate of Moling County could resist their attack anymore, and soon the west gate was completely controlled by Zhu Weijun.

Then someone killed the city gate tower, lowered the suspension bridge, opened the city gate, and followed more Zhu Wei troops directly entering the city from the city gate.

Moling County was broken in this way.

Wang Yuyan naturally ordered the whole army to attack at this time, and let Huang Zhong in front lead the [-] saber shields and [-] crossbow archers to follow into Moling County.

As for Han Dang, after the west gate of Moling County was broken, there was no way to organize troops to continue to resist in the city, so Han Dang had no choice but to collect the remaining defeated soldiers and go directly to Danyang City through the east gate of Moling County The direction retreated.

Here, Wang Yuyan also quickly led troops into Moling County, and then Wang Yuyan asked Chen Heng and Yu Yu to lead troops to continue chasing and killing Zhou Yu's defeated soldiers who escaped from Moling County, while she stayed to clean up the mess in Moling County.

In fact, there are not many ordinary households in Moling County today. When Ruo Rong annexed the Xueli trilogy and went to Yuzhang under Liu Yao's order, the original people here were basically taken by Ruo Rong. Yuzhang.

Later, under the control of Liu Yao's army, this county was like a military town, mainly Liu Yao's army was stationed, and ordinary people no longer came in.

Therefore, in the county town, only a few civilian households who originally served in the army moved here with Liu Yao's army, but the number of these households will never exceed three to five thousand. In Moling County, they had also been carried away by Zhou Yu before.

Therefore, as Han Dang fled with the defeated soldiers, the Moling county almost became an empty city.

So Wang Yuyan just sent people to search the county carefully, so as not to leave any of Zhou Yu's soldiers hidden away, but she didn't have to do anything to secure the people.

In this way, the safety of the county was ensured, so Wang Yuyan sent people to transport the grain, grass, supplies, etc. that were placed in the military camp outside the city to Moling County for storage.

This Moling county town has now become an important military town under the control of Wang Yuyan, and in the future it will also be guarded on the hinterland road from Danyang City to the west of Danyang County...
