Ride on the road to Thang Long.

The knight on the horse didn't care that the mount under his crotch was already sweaty, and although the horse's speed was almost at its peak, he couldn't help but use the whip and stirrups to urge his beloved silent comrades to run faster.

The fruit dismounted from his horse and was in pain, and he hurriedly ran forward, bringing up the wind that tore at the flag behind the knight.

"Is this guy crazy or taking the wrong medicine, running like this, and he is not afraid to turn around and run the horse to death, so that the adults blame him for eating military sticks!" The two soldiers who served as lurking posts outside the camp of the Nanzhong Army looked at the knight's distant figure and whispered at the sentry post.

"Urgent! Move! ”

The knight pulled down the flag behind him and shouted to the sentries on duty at the gate of the camp in the distance.

On the recognition flag, there is a yellow flame edge, and the word "letter" on the red background and yellow heart is on it, which is the soldier who passes the correspondence documents everywhere.

The sentries on duty hurriedly removed the repulsive rifle arrays placed at the camp gates, revealing a passage through which a war horse could pass through Guò.

The knight galloped to Wang Bao's tent before pulling the horse violently, and the man and the horse gasped together, and the knight paused slightly, and rushed into Wang Bao's tent with the urgent item in his hand.

"Report! The reinforcements sent by General Ha Tinh's Mansion have arrived at Haiphong Port! Lord Mo Yu, the leader of the team, please quickly set up six artillery forts! ”

"And please demarcate the camp for the right camp and the rear camp of the guard!"

"This is the artillery base blueprint handed over by Lord Mo Yu, please check it!"

A series of situations made Wang Bao a little confused, besieged Thang Long for a month and a half, although it was said that Thang Long City could not be conquered, but also swept away all the Zheng army camps outside the city, at this time, the lord sent a large army to bring heavy artillery, but why?

On November 17, the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Mo Yu led more than 3,000 men and horses from the right battalion and the rear battalion of the guard, carrying six heavy artillery pieces to the city of Thang Long.

On the same day, Emperor Zheng, who was sitting in the city of sorrow, also got an exciting news from the messenger who risked his life to sneak into Thang Long City!

"What are you going to say?!"

Emperor Zheng didn't care about his identity as an emperor, so he hurriedly jumped up from the dragon chair and grabbed the henchman sent by Zheng Zhu to deliver the letter.

"Tell me what you just said! If you say the wrong word, I will punish your nine clans! ”

The henchman was a little frightened, and he calmed down slightly, calming his trembling body a little.

"Lord Zheng said, he is deeply favored by the emperor, can not be repaid, recently Li thief with heavy soldiers to commit our capital, he is in the thief camp, there is a heart and long live the enemy in the country, but the mountains and rivers are blocked, in order to seek the safety of the family and the country, he is determined to follow the example of the ancients such as Jing Ke, go to the front of the Li thief, assassinate the Li thief, in order to make the Li thief army leaderless, our army can take advantage of the situation to counterattack."

"That! When you leave Hejing, is there any movement in the city? ”

"Long live the Kickstart! On the day of the parting of the minister and Lord Zheng, he sneaked out of the city of Hejing and took refuge in the villages and towns near the left, but soon after that day, there was a great chaos in the city, and the soldiers searched everywhere, and the sailors also inspected and searched the ships on the ocean out of the port. It is said that the prisons of the Law Enforcement Service are overcrowded. ”

"My lord is blessed with heaven!"

"The Holy Son of Heaven has his own divine blessing!"

"Li Thief has been working hard for several years, but he is the Holy Son of Heaven!"

Several close ministers on the side saw the look on Emperor Zheng's face, and they were good at figuring out their intentions and were familiar with Emperor Zheng's habits, and their sycophants suddenly rushed like the rising tide of the sea.

Emperor Zheng listened very helpfully, and after a while, he waved his hand to signal a few close ministers not to say any more, and he turned his head to the messenger sent by Zheng Staff to deliver the letter.

"I ask you, apart from these, is there any other movement in Hejing City?"

When the minister left Hejing, he only saw that many people in the city had black yarn wrapped around their arms, and several housekeepers of the Li family in Liaodong had red and swollen eyes, and they were buying white cloth in the city. Several bigwigs close to the General's Mansion are also cutting mourning clothes at home! ”

That's right!

It must be Zheng Cane's success, and Li Shouhan died together, for the sake of the stability of their rights, the civil and military personnel of the General's Mansion did not mourn, and waited until the shape shì stabilized dìng, and then mourned, but the preliminary preparations for this matter still had to be quietly opened, so there was a matter of purchasing white cloth from the big officials in the city!

After learning that the naval division of the Nanzhong Army, which blocked the Red River to the estuary, had replaced the main gunboats with some small boats, Emperor Zheng believed that his beloved minister, Zheng Zhu, should have succeeded!

"Message! Zheng Zhu is loyal to the royal family, can be a model for important ministers, and takes care of the aftermath with the gift of the Son of Heaven! ”

"Bestow the title of King of Loyalty! Hereditary replacement! ”

"Set up an altar in the city, and officials at all levels will go to mourn."

"Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, since I have been below, I have been vegetarian for three days, and I will comfort the loyal soul!"

"Another 2 million acres of land on the north bank of the Lingjiang River will be given to comfort the loyal soul!"

Just when Emperor Zheng used a bunch of false, real, real and fake to pay tribute to Zheng Cane, who had made great contributions to him, Wang Bao, who was eager to wear it, finally waited for Mo Yu to come.

"Say it! What the hell is going on in Ha Jing Mansion?! ”

Seeing that the army that came to Shenglong was all wrapped with black yarn on their left arms, white cloth strips were wrapped around the tips of their spears, and red tassels were also tied up with white cloth on their respective helmets, Wang Bao's heart couldn't help but sink suddenly.

"The lord is assassinated!"

On that day, Zheng Zhu knelt outside the general's mansion and begged for a few days, willing to atone for his crimes, only begging the army of the Han to forgive the Zheng family.

"As a result, when this guy saw the general, he couldn't say a word, and he broke out and hurt people!" Mo Yu remembered the situation that day, and gritted his teeth with resentment.

"Wait!" Wang Bao held a wine glass and listened to Mo Yu tell about the situation that day, and always felt that something was wrong, "According to the rules of the guards, people who approach the chief officer, especially the envoys of the enemy country and unidentified persons, cannot have iron weapons on them, how did you do it?!" ”

"Zheng cane! Treacherous! When this guy was young, he had a relationship with the people of Tianzhu, and learned the art of playing with snakes and insects from the Miao people, bought a poisonous snake from the mountain people near Hejing, used medicine to make it sleep, hid it closely, mixed it with our inspection, and when the lord received him, he used medicine to wake up the poisonous snake, and it hurt people! ”

"Is the lord hurt!?"

"Although the lord is fine, but Miss Li, who was beside him at the time, was bitten by a poisonous snake because she was in front of the lord, and she couldn't be treated, and she was already killed!"

Wang Bao listened to the gentlemen's lectures that day, and when he talked about the part where the lord was worried about the humiliation of the lord and the death of the minister, he always didn't understand it very well.

"What should we do?"

He asked Mo Yu hatefully.

"I came to help this time, and brought six cannons cast by the lord himself, and the lord ordered that our troops must break the city in three days when they reach the day of Thang Long! He wants to slaughter all the old and young of the Zheng family in front of Zheng Cane! ”

After Shouhan was sure that Xiuxiu was irretrievable, he whispered hatefully in front of Zheng Cane, "You killed my woman today, and I will kill your Zheng family and civil and military ministers in front of you in front of you one day, and bury my woman for my woman!" ”

After speaking, he hurriedly went to the arsenal, leaving Zheng Cane, who was tied up like a zongzi, gritting his teeth and scolding under the fists and feet of the guards.

Shouhan gave full play to the temper of being a son and brother in both worlds, and ordered someone to make iron steel (high manganese steel) that had just been smelted from a furnace, and according to the drawings he made, make an iron mold, and cast it into six cannons that seemed very strange to others.

"According to the name of the lord, the weight of the two Kelon cannons, with sixty-eight pounds of shells, is about sixty catties, and the maximum charge is eight and a half pounds, that is, about seven catties and seven taels, and the shotgun can be loaded with forty pieces at a time. The gun weighs 3,000 catties and can be towed by four horses. When the gun was tested that day, the effective firing range was two miles, and the best should be about one mile. Four mortars, two 24-pounder mortars and two 48-pounder mortars. The caliber of the 48-pounder mortar gun is 162.5mm, the length of the gun is 600mm, and the weight is only 200 catties......"

Outside Thang Long City, Wang Bao and Mo Yu chose positions along the south gate wall of Thang Long for the six newly cast cannons of the Nanzhong Army. In fact, the Shouhan was talking about the dragon cannon that day, but because of the noisy environment, it became a dragon cannon in the ears of others, and yes, it was specially cast to deal with Thang Long City!

Wang Bao's helmet was also tied with white strips of cloth, and the guards behind him were all wrapped in black yarn.

On the far side of the city, the soldiers of the Zheng family were greatly boosted after learning the news that the loyal and brave men of the Zheng family had succeeded in assassinating Li Shouhan, and carried countless defensive equipment to the city, preparing to inflict heavy losses on the Nanzhong army in the battle to defend the city, and then waved their troops to attack and swept through the Nanzhong region.

"Boys of the city! Listen! Honestly prepare to surrender, your master is dead! Acquaintances surrender quickly, our emperor is generous and benevolent, and will definitely forgive the sins of besieging Shenglong and others, and let you and other officials stay in their original positions and protect your net worth and property! ”

A voice at the head of the city shouted at the people who were busy building fortifications under the city, and the people under the city didn't even bother to raise their heads, just busy with the work in their hands.

"Send a few people and tell them, we will attack the city immediately, acquaintances, hurry home and hide!" We don't intend to accept the surrender of the Zheng family's civil and military officials! ”

Mo Yu gritted his teeth with hatred, Xiuxiu's death, he and his brother Mo Jin, no matter where they say it, are to blame. That's why he asked Ying to come.

A sentry officer hurried over.

"I would like to inform you two adults, according to the mark on the map of your lordship, we have chosen the area about 320 steps from the city wall of Thang Long, and the construction of the fort has been completed. The large and small artillery of the artillery team also began to go, and Lord Huang of the artillery team asked for instructions, when to fire? ”

Six artillery forts made of bamboo and wood, guarded by the large and small artillery of Wang Bao's troops, appeared impressively between Thang Long and the embankment on the right bank of the Red River.

The six fortifications were only a mile away from the city wall, but they were guarded by many large and small artillery pieces, posing a great threat to the southern wall of Thang Long.

The two forts were covered with bamboo and wood, revealing only a huge cannon muzzle, which pointed to the city wall of Thang Long.

The other four, on the other hand, were diametrically opposed, except that the gun emplacements were surrounded with bamboo and wood to prevent the shells from counterattacking at the head of the city from falling near the gun emplacements and causing damage to the gunners and artillery. The huge cannon muzzle is forty-five degrees to the sky, like a monster of the wilderness, trying to swallow the city not far away.

On November 19, the sixth year of the Apocalypse, the day after Mo Yu's reinforcements arrived in Thang Long City with heavy artillery, the Battle of Thang Long began.

The atmosphere under the city was tense to the extreme.

At the head of the city, hot oil was boiling in a cauldron, and the rolling wood, sheep's head stones, and the righteous nights made of house beams, poles, ramming rods, and wolf's teeth were piled up on the head of the city, on the horse road, and under the feet of the soldiers.

The soldiers were yelled at by the officers from before dawn to eat, and after a full meal of oil and water, they were driven to the head of the city to wait for the attack of the southern Chinese army under the city.

"Fight well! After defeating the thieves in the south, we will go south to make a fortune! The officers repeated the news that Li Shouhan was dead, and encouraged the soldiers to fight the enemy with the large fields and countless goods in Nanzhong.

"you! Anyway, Lao Tzu is already full of breakfast, and he is not a starving ghost when he dies! The soldiers looked at the dense artillery under the city, and couldn't help but feel a tingle on their scalps, "Fortune? It's nice to be able to open a coffin! ”

Under the city, Wang Bao commanded the battalions, forming a formation in a battalion array, and spreading an extremely wide front on both sides of the artillery position, and behind the artillery position were Mo Yu's two battalions of the Guards Battalion.

In winter, the clouds are dense, as if the sky is extremely low, and the murderous atmosphere between the heavens and the earth is so overwhelming that people can't breathe, and they can't wait to rush to the front of the battle immediately and shout loudly to be happy.

Looking at the slowly rising red sun in the eastern sky, Wang Bao and Mo Yu exchanged glances with each other, and then reflexively looked at the soldiers who were lining up on the left and right, sitting on the ground with knives and guns in hand, waiting for orders, Wang Bao nodded with satisfaction.

"Let's get started!"

Fang Dabao, the commander of the trumpet, blew the copper trumpet in his hand with all his strength, and a sharp horn soared into the sky. Ignite the murderous aura that fills the air until it explodes!

"Gun loading!"

The gunners who operated the Clon cannon stuffed the silk medicine bag containing seven catties and seven taels of gunpowder into the muzzle, pushed the powder bag to the bottom of the gun chamber with a push rod, and the three gunners worked together to lift the lead bullet weighing 60 catties to the muzzle of the gun, and stuffed it hard, under the huge gravity of itself, the lead bullet slowly slid into the gun chamber, and made a muffled sound, and the medicine bag came into contact. The gun commander was still a little uneasy, and pushed hard with the pusher lever to confirm that it had been tamped.

"Fire!"

"Tom!"

With a loud bang, sixty catties of lead bullets flew out of the cannon chamber under the action of huge thrust, and slammed straight into the city wall of Shenglong not far away.

The Kelon cannon took direct aim at close range, and the target of the muzzle was the middle of the wall of Thang Long.

"Boom!"

The huge cannonball slammed into the city wall, causing the hearts of the soldiers of the Zheng family army who were defending the city to slam suddenly! There is such a huge artillery in the world!

Immediately after, "Tom! "Another Clon cannon fired.

"Boom!" Another cannonball slammed into the walls of Thang Long.
