Chapter 25: Thunder in the Imperial Capital

Yang Fengli lifted a thousand pounds of gate...

Bah, he won’t lift it!

Whoever likes to lift a two-ton thing, he won't lift it anyway.

A thousand jin gate is not just a thousand jin!

The thousand-pound gates of these city gates in Beijing are all two tons, and the modern actual measurement weighs 1,990 kilograms.

Even if he knew that he was very strong now, he would not take this risk. Besides, he couldn't lift it because not only had a thousand jin gate in the main city gate, but also a thousand jin gate in the Wengcheng gate. Just after the shouts above his head, two thousand jin gates fell down at the same time to close the Wengcheng.

However……

"Does go!"

Yang Feng yelled.

The Qi family army, who was blocked in the wall city, flashed to both sides of the door as quickly as possible.

Immediately afterwards, the explosion of the sky and the earth cracked, and the flames of the explosion spurted out of the city gate hole. The huge power made the entire city wall shaking. The defenders on the city wall immediately screamed in horror. Then the smoke inside dispersed with the cold wind, and the Qianjin Gate that crossed the city gate hole, and even the unclosed city gate, were no longer visible.

They are all spread on the ground!

"I just like this!"

Yang Feng looked up at a frightened officer on the city wall and showed an evil smile.

Who can play with the power-supporting the Qianjin Gate? Although black gunpowder is indeed not suitable for explosive packs, Qianjin Gate is not an armored steel plate. This thing is just a hardwood board with iron bags, not even pure iron. Then rivets rivets to rive the iron board together. Its weight comes largely from its volume, six meters wide and six and a half meters high but only nine centimeters thick. In terms of its strength, it is difficult to open just for infantry weapons. In fact, Franc can easily penetrate it.

Wrapped with layers of silk and tied up twenty kilograms of carefully selected high-quality gunpowder, why is it not as powerful as an 82 mortar shell?

It is indeed exaggerating to blow up the city wall. The wooden boards that fry iron bags are still enough. In fact, this power has exceeded Yang Feng's expectations because it also blows the city gate to the ground.

The city gate hole magnifies its effect.

"Brothers, come into the city!"

He roared with a finger of a long knife in his hand.

In the city gate hole where the urn city was also blown up, the soldiers of the Qi family rushed in shouting and rushing in.

But then the muzzle was extended from the arrow tower behind, and the bird guns were gushing, and the two Qi family troops who had just rushed in fell down.

Yang Feng picked up another gunpowder bag from the carriage.

The soldiers next to him immediately lit the fuse and stuffed it into the waterproof bamboo tube. Then Yang Feng ran forward a few steps and threw the somewhat huge silk bag out. The large cloth bag weighing more than 40 kilograms immediately flew into the air more than ten meters high under his brute force, and headed straight to the arrow tower with the smoke traces of the fuse. Several soldiers lying on the shooting window to open fire, screaming in fear and fleeing as fast as possible.

Then the thing fell into a shooting window.

The next moment, the fire shone inside, and the explosion of smoke spewed out from several shooting windows.

However, the arrow tower is very strong, and the power of this gunpowder pack is limited after all, and there is no such thing as collapse.

The Qi family army entering the city below were still swarming in. The explosion and flying bricks did not hinder them. The gate of the urn city was opened on one side, and the arrow tower was facing the city tower. In fact, it was still dozens of meters away from them. The urn city gates of these capital cities were all in this pattern. The enemy rushed into the urn city and immediately faced the attacks of the urn tower and the two sides of the urn tower. Only Zhengyang Gate opened the door under the urn tower, because it was for the emperor and it was impossible for the emperor to go to the side gate.

In a blink of an eye, they rushed into the city, and then the two cannon cars spurted flames to both sides at the same time. The subsequent bird gunners opened fire in a dense manner, and cold weapons with swords, shields and spears swarmed to both sides.

Then they appeared on the city wall.

These guys are not purely cold weapons. On the way, they took out grenades and lit them with a fuse, and threw them directly into the city tower as soon as they stepped up.

The smoke of gunpowder spewed out from the explosion of the flames.

Although its power is not worth mentioning, it is really intimidating.

At this time, the grenade was like this. The slightly larger cast iron balls on the fist were also ceramics. There was no gunpowder in it. I hope the shrapnel would kill unless the other party had no protection, and even if there was no protection, it would be a bit of skin injury.

Being killed by this is extremely unlucky.

At this time, the soldiers who were blown out of the arrow tower also ran out and wanted to resist along the walls of the urn city, but then they faced the bird gunner who was climbing the city.

As the muzzle fire erupted, these unlucky soldiers fell down one after another...

The Qi family army, who entered the state of fighting, wouldn't care about anything else. They had already captured the capital and still care about killing people?

However, these defenders still have combat effectiveness. It is obvious that although the Ming army, which had experienced the Zhang Juzheng era, had begun to deteriorate again, they still had the foundation after all.

At least they dared to resist.

Just as they fell, Yang Feng had already walked into the inner city with great enthusiasm.

A huge city unfolded in front of him.

However, the peace of the city has been completely broken, and the streets in Chongwenmen that lead directly to the front are full of residents running out in horror.

There are also soldiers running in chaos.

They all stood under the eaves on both sides in amazement, watching the chaotic battle here. They had not experienced the war for a long time, and even forgot to hide.

Actually, it's not too long.

It only took more than forty years for Altan Khan's troops to come to the city last time.

Although the twilight and wind and snow blurred the view to a large extent, Yang Feng could still see the city towers that penetrated directly into the sky in the distance. There was an imperial city, and there were many city towers, Chengtian Gate, left and right Chang'an Gate, Duan Gate, Meridian Gate and even three halls. They had not been burned yet. It was originally two years later in history, so Yang Feng could still see their majestic figures.

At this time, the lights everywhere were already on. Although the snow covered the red walls and green tiles, the towers still showed the majesty of the empire. However, this majesty had been stepped on by him. I don’t know what Wanli was in the palace at this time. At this moment, he was standing in Chongwen Gate so arrogantly. In front of him were chariots lined up across the long streets, pointing at the capital of the empire, and the soldiers entering the city behind him were still rushing up the city walls.

The defenders fled to both sides.

Next, the city gate belonged to him, but he stood there with his hands raised his great edict, just like last time he raised it above his head...

"Yang Feng, a native of Cao from Liaodong, and his brothers from the southern army of Beiwu, were tied to the general of Jizhen, Wang Bao, who was the great edict of Taizu, and Fan Dongmo, the Yongping army, entered the capital. The military and civilians in the capital did not need to be disturbed. We just came to seek justice and wanted to knock on the drum face to express our grievances!"

He yelled.

Suddenly he paused...

"If anyone dares to stop us from reporting our grievances, kill us!"
