935 Bluffing
The power of the Hongyi cannon can be said to be a god blocking and killing gods, and a Buddha blocking and killing Buddhas, and nothing can stop it, let alone flesh and blood. As long as it touches, it will be a broken end. Therefore, it is no wonder that they are so scared when they face the Hongyi cannon and are only beaten and unable to fight back.
On the Ming army's position, everything was ready. An artillery officer came to the front of several commanders to pray.
Cao Wenzhao listened, turned his head to look at the tall man beside him, and said in a low voice: "Make a gesture and order the shelling to begin!" “
The tall man, who was surrounded by him and Cao Bianjiao, immediately waved his hand obediently and ordered: "The shelling begins!" ”
His action was very large, even if the prisoners on the head of the city could clearly see that it was the order of Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, and he saw that the artillery position began to move.
There was a loud bang, and as soon as I heard the sound of this huge cannon in my ears, I heard the scream of the air being pierced, and then I saw an iron egg hit the arrow tower in the direction of the city gate. Suddenly, the huge impact of the iron egg smashed the earth and wood, and the arrow tower was obviously smashed into a corner.
The builders scattered around the city looked at the arrow tower, even if they knew that there would be huge damage, but at this time, they saw it with their own eyes, and their hearts were still very shocked. This kind of power is really not something that can be stopped by manpower!
Some careful Jianyu found that after this cannon sounded, on the Ming army's position, those Ming gunners were adjusting the Hongyi cannon, but the amplitude was not large. Some veterans knew that the next shelling would be more accurate. As a result, even the brave Jianyu looked at the Hongyi cannon outside the city, and his face showed a trace of surprise.
Cao Wenzhao was very satisfied, and couldn't help but turn his head to his nephew and said: "The artillery battalion of the new army is indeed powerful, and this first test artillery can hit the city with one shot, which is amazing!" ”
Cao Bianjiao was proud when he heard this, but in the face of his uncle, he still said modestly: "This is just ordinary, as long as you learn the ballistics knowledge handed down by the emperor, it is easy to do." ”
Hearing this, Cao Wenzhao couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The emperor is really getting more and more powerful, he understands everything, and he is powerful at everything!" ”
"Yes, if my uncle had more contact with the emperor, this feeling would definitely be even deeper." Cao Bianjiao listened, nodded in agreement, "The emperor knows almost everything, knows everything, anyway, my nephew admires it very much." ”
……
The two of them were chatting, but the tall "Governor of Denglai" in the middle did not interject, but just nodded his head from time to time cooperatively, so that the Jian Lu in the distance could see it, and thought that the uncle and nephew of the Cao family were talking to him.
Suddenly, Li Dingguo, who was standing behind, immediately took a step forward and approached them to remind: "Dashuai, this time is running out, isn't it time to let the ones behind stop?" ”
When Cao Wenzhao heard this, he turned his head to look at the flying dust behind him, and said with a smile: "If you don't remind you, Ben Shuai has forgotten!" Go ahead and tell them, it's almost there! ”
The tall man listened, turned around, and gestured to Li Dingguo with an exaggerated gesture, and then Li Dingguo had to make the gallop back. It didn't take long for him to reach the distance, and he was no longer in the field of vision of Anshan Post Castle. Here, there were also quite a few cavalrymen, each dragging some branches on the ground, galloping back and forth, creating extra dust.
When Li Dingguo saw this, he couldn't help laughing. This attack on Anshan Post Fort, the Ming army actually came less than 10,000 people, but it was dusty, and the three commanders appeared, and Jianlu would definitely estimate tens of thousands more, so as to meet the emperor's requirements, bluff, and create the momentum of attacking Liaoyang and even Shenyang, so as to attract the attention of Jianlu and force Jianlu to concentrate his forces to deal with it.
Otherwise, the governor of Denglai is still in Dengzhou at the moment, and if he arrives in Haizhou, he doesn't know when it will be, so he deliberately found a tall soldier to play it, so as to increase his credibility. I don't know what the leader of Jianyu will do after hearing the urgent report of Anshan Post Fort?
Li Dingguo thought in his heart, so he sent an order to stop these cavalry troops behind, and the exaggeration had to be a degree, too much.
At this moment, I heard the roar of "boom boom" artillery, which sounded continuously, and this sound was so pleasant and exciting. After Li Dingguo passed the general, he immediately returned, he hadn't seen it yet, what kind of scene was it for so many Hongyi cannons to fire?
Under the gallop of the horse, Li Dingguo quickly came to the front, returned to Cao Wenzhao, and after paying the order, he looked at the head of Anshan Post Fort, only to see that on the south gate, a lot of pits had been smashed on the head of the city, and even many battlements had been bombed. But overall, the damage to the walls was not great, but it was just a round of attacks!
On the artillery position, the gunners were busy loading, and a bunch of gunners with an orderly division of labor were busy around the Hongyi cannons of one door and one door. It is estimated that it will not be long before the next shelling can be launched.
Cao Bianjiao looked at all this, and chatted with his uncle again: "When we came over, we deliberately set up the camp closer to here last night, so that we could start attacking the city so early. Bombard it for an hour, and you don't believe that the wall won't collapse! Thinking about it today, you will definitely be able to enter Anshan Post Fort, right? ”
This kind of scene of more than ten Hongyi cannons bombarding the city together, Cao Wenzhao also saw it for the first time, his eyes, staring at the artillery position motionlessly, for fear of missing every wonderful shelling, and at the same time replied to his nephew: "This power is indeed great enough, but Jianyu has also fought with us for many years, and they are all brave people, even if the city is broken, it will take a lot of time to fight in the streets, and that is the most critical time." ”
"It's okay, just let my nephew's infantry enter the city, they are the best at street fighting." Cao Bianjiao listened to this, and immediately replied with confidence, "The formation left by Qi Dashuai back then is the most suitable. ”
As soon as the two of them said this, they heard the sound of "boom boom" shelling again. In the blink of an eye, the dust that had been hit by the iron egg was raised on the head of the Anshan Post Fort, which was permeated and enveloped the city.
At this time, near the head of the city, there is almost no figure of Jianyu, even if it is an iron man, as long as he dares to stand on the side of the outer wall, the custody will be smashed!
After two rounds of shelling, the soldiers of the Ming army, who were digging and loading, finally pushed a batch of flatbed trucks and carried the soil, and fell into the moat under the roar of artillery fire, and then hurriedly returned. Their originally nervous faces relaxed a lot after returning.
