Chapter 172: Shooting
"Can you make sure it's accurate this time?"
"Yes, this time the last general will make sure that they can be accurate, and the last general will personally supervise them behind with a knife."
Drawing his sword, the commander of the Shenwei Battalion stood behind these artillerymen with fierce faces, staring at them viciously with his eyes.
As the saying goes, when a cannon goes off, there are 10,000 taels of gold, and these shells are bought by Lao Zhu at a great price, so every time he wastes a cannonball, Lao Zhu is very distressed.
Now seeing the performance of this general soldier, Lao Zhu nodded with satisfaction, this attitude is very good, use a knife to scare them, see which of them dares not to be serious, actually wasting my money, tired of being crooked?
"This time you want to hit the gate, you know, you must blast the opposite gate open, if you hit it crooked, Lao Tzu will split you with his own hands today."
After teaching the artillery handlers a lesson, the chief soldier waited for them to nod their heads in understanding, and then gave the order to begin.
"Aim!"
"Aim ready, four hundred meters in front of the city gate."
"Ready!"
............
"Yang Er, go and call him over to me."
"Yes, sir."
Yang Wenjie, who had already bathed and changed his clothes, was neatly dressed all over his body at this time, and his two beards were also meticulously cared for, and he looked like a qualified parent official in the city.
"Master, you called me?"
After a while, Yang Er came to the living room nervously, there was no way, in fact, if you think about it carefully, the words he just said are already a big rebellion, no matter whether Yang Wenjie wants to surrender or not, it doesn't matter if you kill him now or not.
Just now, he was just hot-headed, but now that Yang Er has calmed down, of course he feels scared when he faces Yang Wenjie.
"Well, I think there is a little truth to the few words you just said to me."
Yang Wenjie stood up and walked around Yang Er, and continued:
"You did a good job, you can follow me to meet Master Wang this time."
As soon as Yang Wenjie finished speaking, Yang Er's mood immediately changed from apprehension to excitement, and he hurriedly lay on the ground and thanked Yang Wenjie.
"Thank you lord, thank you lord, the little one will not live up to the love of the lord, the great kindness of the lord, the little one is unforgettable in this life, not only in this life, but also in the next life of the small one must be a cow and a horse for the lord and repay the lord."
"Well, get up, you go change your clothes, and stand behind me and be my attendant in a minute."
"Well, the little ones are going to go."
Getting up from the ground, Yang Er followed the housekeeper who was already waiting outside the door to change clothes, while Yang Wenjie asked his maid to put on a good makeup for herself, making herself look haggard.
"Let's go, everyone follow me to meet Wang Shi, the Zheng family is unkind, and actually coerced the people to rebel, but the sky has eyes, and meteorites from the sky have stoned all the traitors of the Zheng family to death, now, let us open the city gate, eat pot pulp, and welcome the arrival of Wang Shi!"
Just like giving an acceptance speech, Yang Wenjie came to an impassioned speech.
Yang Wenjie finished speaking, so the next step was naturally the No. 1 dog support.
"Okay, what the head of the family said is right, the Zheng family has controlled our rations during this time, so that we can't eat enough, we can't wear warm clothes, and they forced us to defend the city, the Zheng family should die!"
Looking at this strong man with a loud voice, everyone was silent, it turned out that he couldn't eat enough to grow so strong!
"Well, yes, now that Master Wang is here, then we should open the city gate and welcome Master Wang."
"Yes, but for such a solemn matter, let's invite my parents, Lord Yang, to come in person."
No. 2, 3 and 4 dog supports are in place!
The three old men walked out tremblingly with a cane and said to everyone with a smile.
"Since the third elder is invited, then the official is not welcome."
Walking to the city gate, Yang Wenjie gave an order,
"Open the gates!"
After finishing speaking, Yang Wenjie faintly heard a sound outside the city gate,
"Fire!"
...........
"Fire!"
Rumble...
With a loud bang, the huge recoil once again stirred up a cloud of dust in place, and when the smoke cleared, looking at the huge hole in the city wall in front of him, Lao Zhu was very satisfied.
The effect is good, this cannonball not only blasted open the opposite city gate, but also knocked the large wall at the city gate away, now as long as the army drives in to destroy the rebels and occupy the city.
"Let's go, the defenders of this small city on the other side must not exceed a thousand, give you an hour, I want to fully accept this city, and then start to loot the wealth of the family."
"Yes."
The artillery did not continue to fire, nor did the cavalry rush forward to kill, so the Ming army slowly advanced with the infantry, putting a little pressure on the opponent's city guards.
A quarter of an hour later, Lao Zhu walked into the city and found that the road was full of people standing on both sides, and they were holding food one by one, and welcoming Zhu Yuanzhang's army with a stiff smile on their faces.
"Wu Guangquan, you roll over to me!"
After Wu Guangquan ran over with a puzzled face, Lao Zhu immediately gave a big mouth to the commander of the army he personally appointed.
"Who the let you play this trick, you've been with me for so many years, don't you know that what I old Zhu Pingsheng hates most in my life is the corrupt officials who oppress the people, are you in the of your brain, and you actually use this to curry favor with me!"
Pointing to the people on both sides of the road, Zhu Yuanzhang gave Wu Guangquan a harsh lesson in front of everyone.
Lao Zhu, who was born in a commoner, was especially disgusted with these corrupt officials, otherwise the laws against corrupt officials would not have been so strict when the Ming Dynasty was established.
Eating pot pulp, it sounds good, the people welcome Wang Shi, but this is just a matter of harming the interests of the people to give the people in power some face, how can Lao Zhu not understand the twists and turns in this.
Lao Zhu just didn't expect that his cronies, who had been with him for so many years, would actually do such a stupid thing.
"Your Majesty, it's wrong, I didn't do it, it was like this when I came in."
Knowing why he was beaten, Wu Guangquan immediately opened his mouth to cry out for injustice.
"You still dare to quibble, you are the highest status person here, without your consent, the people below dare to do such a thing, it wasn't you who did it, did it a ghost!"
Seeing that Lao Zhu wanted to continue beating himself, Wu Guangquan immediately hid back, and then pulled out three old men who were trembling when they walked from the crowd.
"Your Majesty, the last general is really wronged, if you don't believe it, you can ask them, they are the three elders of this area, and they know who made it."
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang staring at him, the three old men immediately knelt on the ground one after another, and then kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and begged for mercy.
"We all said, we all said that these people were driven by Yang Wenjie, the county commander of the county, and Yang Wenjie also sent people to threaten us, saying that let's cooperate with him to play a play, Master Wang, spare your life, the three of us didn't do anything hurtful, and we were forced to be helpless to deceive Master Wang!"
Seeing the three little old men kowtowing and crying, Lao Zhu did not magnanimously let them stand up.
Poor people must have something to hate, and if it weren't for the bad things the three of them usually do, they wouldn't have fallen to the point where they are now.
"What about Yang Wenjie?"
"Yang Wenjie, Yang Wenjie, he is at the feet of Wang Shi."
"Foot?"
Lao Zhu moved his footsteps, looked at the lump of meat under his feet, and immediately picked up a few pieces of earth and stones to cover it with disgust.
This guy is actually dead, so it seems that this thing was really done by the ghost, and it means that he only spent two shells to get a city?
Sure enough, the big cannon is different!
