Chapter 26: The sound of artillery fire shook the sky and the long pavilion was breached

Zheng Zhuo stood on the top of the city wall and looked around with disdain.

Although it was dark, he knew that Ye Qi was not far away.

Otherwise, those insiders would not choose to open the door at this time.

"Surrender, Ye Qi. You have no way out. Killing two thousand soldiers of Qing Kingdom is unforgivable. I will have a good argument with your Northern Qi emperor when the time comes!"

Zheng Zhuo's voice, mixed with true energy, echoed in the area.

Ye Qi picked up the torch and lit the fuse.

There are only ten shells in total, so use them sparingly.

Haitang Duoduo and others looked at the big black cannon curiously.

"Can this thing open the city gate!?"

Ye Qi said: "Everyone stay away and cover your ears!"

As the fuse burns to the end.

Boom! The sound was deafening.

Cannonballs burst out from the front of the big black cannon, aiming directly at General Zheng Zhuo on the top of the city wall.

By the time Zheng Zhuo heard the deafening sound of the artillery fire, the shells had already flown in front of him.

"There are assassins!"

Zheng Zhuo drew out his sword and swung hard at the cannonball.

The moment the blade touched the shell, the shell exploded.

BOOM!

Zheng Zhuo was blown away.

Several guards in the surrounding area were directly killed by artillery shells.

Fortunately, Zheng Zhuo had his internal energy to protect him, so he did not die, but he was seriously injured in the explosion. One of his arms was broken and his entire face was black.

A gap was also blown in the top of the city wall.

A mouthful of blood spurted out of Zheng Zhuo's mouth: "What kind of weapon is this..."

The guards on the city wall were horrified and began to look for the source of the sound.

While they were still searching, the second gunshot rang out.

This time, the shells hit the city gate directly.

Boom!
The shell directly blew a huge dent in the city gate.

"Huh!? This city gate is pretty solid!"

Ye Qi fired another shell in.

The others around were so shocked that they were speechless.

Haitang Duoduo and Zhan Yueyue looked at the black cannon in horror. This black and thick thing actually had such great power.

The explosion actually seriously injured a ninth-grade master.

"Haitang, you light the fuse, and I'll be responsible for adjusting the muzzle position!"

This time Ye Qi lowered the muzzle a little.

Haitang carefully picked up the torch and lit the fuse.

After lighting the fire, retreat immediately more than ten meters.

Boom!
There was another deafening cannon shot, and the shell hit the city gate again, this time a gap was directly blown out in the gate.

It’s not enough, the opening needs to be bigger.

Ye Qi put in another shell.

The fuse was lit, the shell flew out, and finally blew the city gate open completely.

On the city wall, the soldiers at Changting Pass were worried.

They thought it was God who sent someone to punish them.

Every time a cannon fired, the city walls trembled.

They covered their ears in fear and squatted on the wall, afraid of being hit by this thing.

Even the general was almost killed in the explosion, let alone them.

Until the city gate was blown open, they didn't dare to lean out to see what was happening outside.

"All troops, listen up! Charge!"

Ye Qi picked up his gun and mounted his horse, commanding the Snow Dragon Cavalry to charge.

The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry formed a long snake formation and rushed towards Changting Pass.

The sound of horses' hooves trampling the ground was equally deafening.

Haitang Duoduo stood aside, looking at the cavalrymen galloping past her in astonishment.

"One thousand, two thousand, three thousand, four thousand, five thousand..."

Haitang Duoduo swallowed her saliva.

He didn't understand how such a small forest could hide so many cavalrymen.

"Am I dazzled?"

Haitang Duoduo shook her head, confirming that this was not an illusion. "Don't you only have 2,000 cavalry? Where did the extra 3,000 cavalry come from?"

Ye Qi pointed at Haitang Duoduo's heart: "From your heart."

"Ugh~" Haitang Duoduo rolled her eyes at Ye Qi.

Of course Ye Qi couldn't tell him that he was summoned by a military talisman, as that was too fantastic.

"Come on, follow me and kill them!"

Ye Qi pulled Haitang up and let her sit in his arms.

The two men rode on Red Hare and rushed towards Changting Pass.

More than ten meters away from Changting Pass, Haitang Duoduo jumped up and flew towards the top of the city wall: "I will be responsible for dealing with the enemies on the city wall!"

"Okay, be careful!" Ye Qi shouted.

Ye Qi rushed into the city.

At this time, Changting Pass was in chaos.

Zheng Zhuo never thought that Ye Qi would be able to charge in tonight when many soldiers were not yet wearing armor.

The Great Snow Dragon Riders passed by these soldiers and easily finished them off.

Ye Qi's targets are mainly those masters with certain ranks.

He was seen holding the Overlord Spear, knocking down one enemy after another with one strike, charging back and forth in the city like a killing god.

Changting Pass is equivalent to a military fortress, mostly filled with soldiers, with very few civilians and farmers.

Most of the resources rely on the baggage transportation from Liaozhou and Qingguo.

So Ye Qi showed no mercy and started killing at Changting Pass.

On the city wall, Haitang Duoduo fought against General Zheng Zhuo.

Zheng Zhuo was already seriously injured and was no match for Haitang Duoduo.

He was defeated by Haitang Duoduo in just a few rounds.

However, Haitang Duoduo did not kill him. After all, he was a great general and it would be useful for him to be kept alive.

"I have captured your general. Everyone else, surrender immediately!"

Haitang Duoduo stood on the city wall and shouted with a voice full of energy.

At this moment, the soldiers in the city, whose morale was already low, suddenly lost the courage to resist and chose to surrender by dropping their weapons.

At this point Ye Qi also stopped killing.

He is not the God of Killing Bai Qi. Since the other party has surrendered, there is no need to create more killings.

From the sound of cannons to the capture of Changting Pass.

It took more than ten minutes in total.

If you tell others about this siege speed, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

This battle is over.

A total of one thousand soldiers were killed at Changting Pass and more than four thousand were captured.

Ye Qi's Great Snow Dragon Riders only lost more than twenty people.

This is one-sided crushing and slaughter.

These unprepared soldiers, without armor or weapons, spent most of their time running for their lives, rather than fighting.

Ye Qi dispatched a total of 5,000 cavalry for this siege.

The battle was over, but some of the cavalry had not yet arrived.

At this point, Ye Qi captured Changting Pass.

General Zheng Zhuo and a group of senior generals were tied up and thrown in the center of the conference room.

"Commander Ye, spare my life!"

"Have mercy, don't kill us!"

Ye Qi ignored them.

On the other side, Haitang Duoduo immediately ordered people to rush to send a message to the little emperor and the empress dowager.

Ye Qi waved his hand: "Trouble."

After that, Ye Qi picked up the Den Den Mushi: "Hello, Your Majesty, can you hear me?"

Den Den Mushi is a snail that can release radio signals on its own and can transmit over long distances. Ye Qi left one for the little emperor Zhan Doudou so that he could contact her easily.

"I can hear you. Is that General Ye? You finally called. How's it going over there?"

"Changting Pass has been breached. You can now besiege Liaozhou City."

"Really? Great! I'll tell my mother the good news right away!"

"Okay, we'll see you in Liaozhou then."

"Yeah, I haven't seen you for a long time. I missed you a little."

"Um~~ I have something to do here, I'll hang up first."

Ye Qi hung up the phone immediately.

Everyone around looked at Ye Qi with strange eyes.
