If the Tang Empire won, it would say to its opponents: "You damn well behave yourself in the future, or be careful that I wipe out your entire clan. Pay tribute obediently every year!"
<...Boom boom boom...
A deafening roar erupted at the city gate as Song soldiers began hurling thunderclaps into the city.
In fact, after the rebels and the Xia army occupied Shentangbao, they also possessed thunderbolts, but these thunderbolts were deployed on the city towers for defense. They did not expect the city gates to be breached so quickly.
Therefore, when the fierce battle turned into a thunderous explosion, the rebels' resistance inside was instantly blasted apart by the thunderous explosion.
Instantly, flesh and blood were mangled.
Some people were hit on the hand by the explosion, and the affected area became rotten flesh.
Some people were hit in the face by the explosion, their eyes burst open, their noses were exposed to the bone, and their skin rotted away.
The power of this thunderclap was already considerable, but in recent years Zhao Huan pressured the Academy of Sciences to double its power, making it comparable to the power of a hand grenade in later generations.
The morale of the Song army soared, and they surged in like a tidal wave.
By the time Cao Sheng arrived, the Song army had already completely breached the defenses, and the battle between the two sides had become even more brutal.
At times like these, living, breathing people become like cabbages and radishes.
The sharp blade tore through human flesh, mercilessly reaping lives.
Every person's fall and death means the collapse of a family's pillar, leaving countless children to live their entire lives in the shadow of a father's love.
Cao Sheng roared, "All of you, get the hell out here!"
He yelled as he backed away.
Cao Sheng was a prominent figure on the frontier. Now that the Song army had breached the city gates, a fierce battle was inevitable inside the city.
He absolutely did not want to lose his life here, otherwise why would he have betrayed the country?
Wu Jie's main force charged in, and the two sides engaged in a frontal assault in front of the city gate.
At the forefront of the charge, everyone was rushing forward recklessly.
This scene is like a person using their flesh and blood to keep crashing into a sharp blade, trying to carve out a bloody path.
It was very cold, and the north wind was still howling.
However, the temperature in front of the city gate suddenly rose.
When the knives clashed, the sharp blades rubbing against each other, the residual heat seemed to boil the blood in one's veins.
Large amounts of blood flowed from the person's body, still steaming, warming the air around them.
Incomplete corpses and bits of flesh were everywhere, piled up at the city gate.
The soldiers and civilians who were enslaved and toiling inside the city were all extremely excited when they heard the furious shouts of killing at the city gate!
Located in the northwest, Shaanxi has been a region where the Chinese people and various barbarian tribes fought most frequently since ancient times.
This place forged the fierce and powerful army of Qin, the iron-blooded and mighty army of Han, the magnificent cavalry of Tang, and the elite Western Army of Song!
Which soldier or civilian here hasn't been dealing with war since childhood?
For them, war was as common as the green hills and clear waters of Jiangnan.
Cao Sheng's rebellion this time resulted in a massacre on Huanqing Road, with hundreds of thousands of people dying unnatural deaths. His blood debts are too numerous to count!
The soldiers and civilians of Huanqing Road hated Cao Sheng to the core.
Now that the royal army is besieging the city, it is unknown who first roared out, but the suppressed and enslaved soldiers and civilians were instantly ignited.
They dropped what they were doing, and in the freezing cold, the veins on their foreheads bulged out, and the tattoos on their faces gave them a wild, jungle-like look.
The first two men rushed forward, snatched the knife from one of the Xia soldiers' hands, and unexpectedly tackled him to the ground, pressing the knife against his neck.
Xia Jun yelled and reached out to push the two men away, but they were very strong.
The blade pressed down on Xia Jun's hand in an instant, and Xia Jun let out a miserable scream like a vengeful ghost. The blade swiftly and fiercely severed his hand and pressed down on his neck, cutting in.
Xia Jun was not completely dead yet; he was still making his last desperate struggle.
The blade pressed deeper and deeper, almost cutting into his cervical vertebrae.
Click...
With his cervical vertebrae crushed, Xia Jun lost his last bit of strength. His face was flushed and swollen, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and his mouth was full of blood. Due to his last roar, his mouth was slightly open, his eyes were wide open, and his pupils had already contracted, still holding the fear and despair before death.
Everyone fears death, whether they are from the Song army, the Xia army, or the Jin army.
This process happened very quickly, like throwing a match into oil!
The people around immediately sprang into action.
The two who took the first action attracted a large number of Xia soldiers who surrounded and killed them. One of them was stabbed through the neck from the side by a spear, and the other was beheaded by a slash of a knife.
But everyone was completely ignited!
Spread rapidly!
There are 70,000 soldiers and civilians inside the city!
Working in such temperatures, many people have already frozen to death; whether they resist or not, they will die.
Now that the Wang army is attacking the city, only resistance will give us a chance to survive!
By this time, Song troops had already reached the city walls, where hand-to-hand combat had broken out, greatly relieving the pressure on the Song troops who were attacking the city using ladders.
As a result, the number of Song soldiers on the city walls increased.
Boom boom boom...
Then came a dozen more loud explosions, the thunderbolts thrown down from the city walls by the rebels, which detonated below.
At this moment, the people below were in complete chaos. The dozen or so thunderbolts killed many people on both sides. Some were blown apart, which was extremely tragic. Some had their legs blown off and lay on the ground screaming in pain.
Shi Chongshan, the commander of the vanguard battalion, ran out and said to Wu Jie, "Reporting to Commander Wu, our army has suffered heavy losses! The men can no longer hold on! We request reinforcements!"
Wu Jie said, "Send the order: the vanguard shall attack!"
Bang bang bang...
