Everyone could almost intuitively feel that these behemoth-like artillery pieces were already so terrifying, and one could imagine how amazing their attack and destructive power would be once fired.

Yongchang General Deng Kai, Rao is a battle-hardened general, seeing that the Tang Army was able to launch so many unprecedented huge artillery pieces to attack the city, his face suddenly broke out in cold sweat, and his face turned pale in an instant.

The artillery of the Tang Army is completely different from the ordinary artillery such as the Hongyi cannon, the general cannon, the second general cannon, the Shenwei cannon, and the tiger squat cannon that he was accustomed to seeing in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

So, in the case of such a powerful heavy artillery bombarding the city intensively, can he really swear to hold on to this Yongjing City as Fang Cai......

Unexpectedly, the Tang army dealt with himself more directly and fiercely than the Tusi of the Shadingzhou Department.

They didn't even bother to do anything like cutting off the water supply, but they just used this never-before-seen artillery to attack the city, and the next situation was only completely unpredictable.

Thinking of this, Deng Kai, the chief soldier of Yongchang, only felt that even breathing began to become difficult.

And at this moment, all the panicked defenders saw from a distance that a person who looked like a captain in the Tang army formation raised the red flag in his hand.

"Ready!"

"Put!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

……

90 heavy dragon bombardment guns that fired 32 pounds of shells, the muzzle of each cannon immediately spewed out crimson afterburners and dazzling golden fire, dense and choking billowing white smoke rose up, spread across the sky, and 90 huge black round iron bullets, with the howling sound of death, slammed into the right side of the north gate of Yongchang City.

The huge impact sound that shattered the eardrum sounded continuously, and the ninety black 32-pound iron bullets, as if they had eyes, hit the northern wall of Yongchang City fiercely in an evenly distributed state.

On the north wall of the entire city, sixty large holes arranged neatly and evenly appeared in an instant, and at the edge of each big hole, the thick and cracked lines were as dense as a spider's web, and they spread unscrupulously to the siege, and a large number of city wall bricks splashed and cracked, and a piece of dust and mist filled the air, and the entire city wall was trembling violently.

On the city wall, a large number of Deng Kai's guards were shocked to the ears, eyes, nostrils and mouths bleeding together, everyone was shocked and bloody, and the eyes were shrouded in the dust and fog that choked their noses, and the city wall under their feet shook violently like a pendulum, and there were several small copper cannons or small iron cannons at the head of the city, which were shocked and swooped down from the city wall, making several loud noises and turning into scrap metal.

At the same time, as many as sixty or seventy unsteady defenders fell from the city wall with a scream, and then fell into bloody meatloaf.

Deng Kai's troops guarding the northern city wall suddenly became greatly confused.

Their morale was already weak and unbearable, and now that external reinforcements have been wiped out, their morale has fallen to the bottom. These guys, on weekdays, are good at bullying the people, but it is too much to force them to maintain their composure and combat effectiveness under this strong and fierce battle.

At this time, on the western city wall, there was no need for people to organize at all, and immediately hundreds of frightened defender soldiers, as if they had seen the most terrifying thing in the world, screamed in horror, turned around and fled down the road of the city wall.

"Don't run! You shameful people, come back to this soldier! ”

Deng Kai, who was splashed with dust by the artillery bombardment, and his hair and beard were scattered like a native, he looked extremely embarrassed, he coughed violently, stood up with difficulty on the battlements of the city wall, and immediately shouted loudly at the fleeing soldiers.

It was only in this chaos that although he shouted hoarsely, it had little effect, and the routs fled with complete oblivion of his presence.

Beside Deng Kai, a fleeing soldier passed by him wailing, seemingly unaware of the supreme commander's warning.

Deng Kai was angry and angry, brushed out his sharp waist knife, stabbed it fiercely, and stabbed the fleeing guy from back to chest with a pop.

The fleeing soldier shook a little, and one of his noodle bags fell to the ground and died.

"If you see it, you dare to leave your post without permission and run away from your post on your own, all of them will end up like this!" Deng Kai, whose face was splashed with blood, drew a blood-drenched sword and yelled at the fleeing soldiers.

Seeing Deng Kai, the main general of the city guard, they were all killing people in a rage, and the guards under his command did not dare to slack off, and they also rushed out one by one, slashing and killing these retreating soldiers, and there was a wail on the city wall.

With great difficulty, Deng Kai re-stabilized the situation and restored calm to the entire northern city wall.

At this moment, his heart was full of anger, but he felt even more inexplicably sad.

Hateful, hateful now, in addition to being passively beaten, what countermeasures can there be?!

The Tang Army's steel heavy dragon hammer cannon can hit a distance of more than 1,000 meters smoothly and accurately, while more than 20 large and small artillery pieces in its own city can only hit an accurate range of more than 500 meters in the end.

Fuck, what kind of shitty fight is this!

Deng Kai, the general soldier of Yongchang, scolded the Tang army on the opposite side with the dirtiest words 10,000 times.

But soon, while he was still secretly scolding, Tang Jun was ready for the next salvo shot.

Seeing that Tang Jun began to adjust the muzzle of the cannon again, and was about to start shooting again, Deng Kai's heart was as uncomfortable as a knife.

Alas, the artillery of the Tang army is so fierce, the offensive is so fierce, these poor defenders on the city wall can only sit and wait for the slaughter, there is only the slightest chance to turn the tables and win, so force themselves to support, so in vain to let their soldiers innocently die, what is the purpose!

On the northern wall of Yongchang City, when the defenders finally regained stability, the next round of artillery bombardment of the Tang army began.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

……

Ninety jet-black 32-pound iron bullets, like a heavy fist swung by the god of death, spread their black wings, and roared in an extremely terrifying attitude.

There was another deafening crash, and on the entire northern city wall, broken bricks rained down, large chunks of rammed earth inside cracked, and yellow dust and mist flew up all over the sky. The dense cobwebs and cracks on the entire eastern city wall have reached a shocking level.

In the face of such fierce violence and complete death, the struggle and resistance of human beings is almost a joke.

The rest of the defenders, who were already frightened, no longer need to be mobilized, I don't know who shouted, these guys immediately abandoned their posts, howled and hugged their heads and ran away. Their flight was so resolute, so unstoppable, that it was like a horde of mad beasts that seemed to knock anything in their way to the ground.

The explosion shook the main general Deng Kai into the air, his body fell heavily on the battlement, and rebounded back under the city wall, causing him to scream loudly in pain.

"General, the Tang army's artillery is too fierce, and our army can't hold it anymore, so please ask the general to withdraw from the city and reorganize the guard!" One of the guards, whose nose was bleeding from a flying brick, shouted at Deng Kai in an almost pleading voice.

Deng Kai was so shocked that his mind was foggy, and he wanted to try to get up, but there was an inexplicable pain in his waist, and he lost consciousness from the waist down.

, I guess this fell too hard, breaking the lumbar vertebrae and ribs.

He was in pain, and tried hard to support his body with his hands, but he couldn't do it, but he fell to the ground again.

The main general was wounded, and the lieutenant who was guarding the side of the city wall immediately rushed to him.

"General, I'll help you up." The lieutenant hurriedly stretched out his hands to the side, trying to help him up.

Deng Kai turned his head with difficulty and saw the lieutenant's red teary eyes and trembling lips.

Deng Kai waved his hand, signaling that he didn't have to touch himself.

"General......" The adjutant general's throat swelled, and his voice choked.

At this time, Deng Kai calmed down. He didn't take the lieutenant's hand and get up, but just supported it with his hands, so that his body was as close to the pheasant as possible, showing a half-lying posture.

"I can't do it anymore." He muttered, his eyes half-drooping, looking at the lieutenant general in front of him who had followed him for many years: "It's just that if you want me Deng Kai to surrender, you can't do it!" Remember, after my death, all the soldiers and horses in the city will be under your command, so you can take them to surrender to the Tang army, and you don't have to let them die with me. ”

"General, don't think about it!" The adjutant general let out a loud cry and wept again and again.

"Don't cry, this general has been fighting until now, thinking that King Gui and the others have already arrived safely at the place of Zhanda Tusi, this general is deeply favored by King Gui, even if he dies now, he has no regrets. The artillery of the Tang army was fierce, and the generals could not let the brothers in the city die in vain. You remember the words of the general, as long as the general dies, you will immediately raise the white flag and order all the brothers in the city to surrender to the Tang army! Deng Kai gasped and shouted at the deputy general.

The adjutant general's eyes were blurred with tears, he looked directly at Deng Kai, who was wheezing, and wanted to say more, but Deng Kai had already picked up the saber that had fallen to the ground, and with a wave of force, he slammed it towards his neck.

Like a fountain of blood, it spurted out from the crack in Deng Kai's neck, and his sword clanged to the ground, and the whole person fell down slowly down the battlement.

"General!" The lieutenant on the side hugged him tightly and let out a loud cry of sorrow.

It's just that when he heard the sound of artillery bombardment in the distance, he immediately came to his senses, quickly put down Deng Kai's body, and hurriedly ran down the city wall to hide.

At this time, the third round of shelling of the Don army began again.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

……

The dazzling fire flashed, the choking smoke floated up, and ninety thirty-two-pound iron bullets roared away, and the sound of the huge iron bullets crashing and the dull sound of the collapse of the city wall were continuous, and the smell made people palpitate.

After this bombardment, there were nearly 20 gaps in the city wall in the north of Yongchang County, and many places that were continuously bombarded have completely collapsed.

The location of the city wall where Deng Kai was located suddenly collapsed, like a fluttering leaf falling from the sky, and after falling from the air, it was instantly buried in the ruins of brick slag and loess.

Deng Kai, the chief soldier of Yongchang, died in his last stronghold like this, and his real body and name were destroyed.

However, when he returned to the underworld, he thought that he could successfully let Zhu Youlang escape and finally be loyal to him, which was enough to smile at Jiuquan.

At this time, when the yellow dust and fog in the sky gradually dissipated, the Tang army outside the city could clearly see from the gaps in the collapsed city wall that huge white flags had been fluttering everywhere in the streets and alleys of the city......

With the surrender of the defenders, the relatives of Zhu Youlang, the king of Gui, and his last stronghold in western Yunnan, Yongchang City, were defeated by the Tang army, and there was no force in the entire western Yunnan that could compete with the Tang army.

After leading all the defenders in the city and surrendering to the Tang army, the deputy general desperately dug out Deng Kai, who had become a blurred flesh and blood, and was almost not human, from the ruins of the collapsed city wall.

He hugged this filthy and dried flesh tightly, and let out a loud cry of grief, which made Huang Degong, the chief general of the Tang Army, and others who were watching greatly moved.

Huang Degong immediately ordered, this Deng Kai insisted on not surrendering, but after he killed himself, he was able to make the deputy general lead his troops to surrender, and saved the Yongchang city and the people of the city, which can be regarded as a great achievement. Therefore, his subordinates were still allowed to be buried in a mountain forest outside Yongchang City.

Next, Huang Degong, the commander of the Tang Army, ordered Deng Kai's troops in the entire Yongchang City to surrender their soldiers and horses, a total of more than 3,000 people, all led by the deputy general. Since then, it has become an auxiliary force of the Tang Army's Seventh Town, mainly assisting the Tang Army in maintaining law and order in Yongchang City, as well as arranging the logistics supply of the Tang Army. At the same time, he also asked them to be the same as the Tang army, after temporarily resting in Yongchang City for three days, and immediately together with the Tang army, as guides and pioneers, to conquer the entire territory of western Yunnan, and bring the entire western Yunnan into the hands of the Tang army as soon as possible.

If all of western Yunnan is conquered, then the entire territory of Yunnan will be roughly recovered. Huang Degong should have his hands freed, transfer troops to the east, attack Guangxi, and together with the soldiers and horses of the second Zhen'an monk of the Tang Army guarding the eastern border of Guangxi, jointly attack the remnants of the Hongguang puppet dynasty soldiers and horses in Guangxi.

At the same time, Huang Degong also ordered that the Tang army arrange for the soldiers and civilians in the city, as well as a number of surrendered troops, to step up the repair of the northern city wall damaged by the Tang army during the siege, so that the entire Yongchang City could be restored to integrity as soon as possible.

As for the meritorious soldiers in this battle, they all have their own rewards. And Deng Kai's subordinates, the lives and property of their families were properly preserved, and they were not seized at all, nor were they held accountable for the war, so everyone was happy and the military was relieved.

Three days later, the Tang army officially sent troops to western Yunnan, divided into several troops, and swept away the remnants of the local Hongguang puppet dynasty, as well as the local Tusi who did not obey the Tang army.

At this time, Zhu Youlang, who was living in a panic at Tengyue Zhanda Tusi, finally got the terrible news that Deng Kai had died in battle and Yongchang City had fallen into the hands of the Tang army.
