Chapter 267: The cannon fires his mother
"Yes!" When a herald heard Zhu Ao's order, he immediately clenched his fists and shouted, and then quickly ran to the station of the Shenji Battalion.
After Li Mian got the order, he danced excitedly and said with a smile: "Damn, it can suffocate Lao Tzu, these hundreds of cannons in Lao Tzu's hands have been waiting impatiently for a long time, and the king is really, as long as I give me an hour, I can definitely knock down their city wall, what else can I talk to them?" Isn't this self-depreciation? ”
Immediately, the command flag waved and ordered loudly: "Little ones! Hit Lao Tzu hard, don't save shells, let everyone see the results of our Shenji Battalion in the past few years! ”
"Yes!" The officers of the Shenji Battalion under Li Mian replied in unison, and then commanded his gunners to shoot rows of large lead bullets at Gaochang City.
The main firearms used by the Ming army during the siege of the city were the general cannon and the iron mortar cannon, which were huge in size and inconvenient to carry, but they were also very powerful, and were often used to destroy the enemy's city walls.
With Li Mian's order, rows of general cannons and iron mortar cannons fired angry roars at Gaochang City, spraying large lead bullets with all their strength, smashing them fiercely towards Gaochang City.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! A few cannon shots rang out and smashed the top of the city of Gaochang, smashing the Uighur soldiers who were caught off guard and cried out in distress.
King Su shot a letter of persuasion to surrender in the city has long been spread throughout Gaochang City, to be honest, the soldiers in the city are eager to surrender, everyone knows that there is no way to defend this city, rather than giving people a funeral, it is better to be a slave, anyway, King Su only kills officers above the centurion, and it has nothing to do with them.
Therefore, most of the people lazily stayed at the head of the city, waiting for the officials inside to negotiate the conditions, and then open the city to surrender, but they never expected that the Ming army under the city actually opened fire, and the cannonballs fell like raindrops, smashed on the city wall, and splashed a large area of debris.
Didn't you say that it was easy to persuade to surrender? Didn't you say that it was easy to persuade to surrender? How can this be?
A Uighur soldier standing at the top of the city did not have time to dodge, and his eyes were injured by the debris of lead bullets, and he rolled on the ground and cried in pain.
Another Uighur soldier with whom he had a good relationship hurriedly ran to help him, but as soon as he bent down, he was hit in the head by a buckshot that fell from the sky, and his brain burst and hit the soldier's leg hard.
The Uighur soldiers at the head of the city were in a state of confusion, they had already embraced the idea of surrender, and had no intention of fighting, but after seeing these big guys falling from the sky, they were even more frightened, and they had no spirit of resistance at all, and they no longer maintained the battle formation, and began to hug their heads and run away, and they hid wherever they felt safe.
The Uighur military leadership, who was holding a meeting in a large house in the city, was also taken aback when they heard the rumbling sound of artillery, and the commander asked with a look of horror, "What's the matter?" Didn't you say that it was good to persuade you to surrender? Why did the Ming army start to attack the city? Is persuasion just a stopgap measure? ”
A commander listened to the thunderous rumbling cannon outside, and knew that this city must not be able to hold it, and the wings of Zhu Ao, the king of Su, were stiff, and a small Uighur alone could not stop him, I was afraid that only the Timur in the west could compete with him, so he immediately stood up and said in fear: "Commander Wan, I think the Ming army is impatient, and we must make a decision as soon as possible." Otherwise, it will be too late by the time the city is broken. ”
The commander of the Uighur army only came back to his senses at this time, and his face was immediately frightened, and he now really understood what it means to be a man for a sword and a fish for me, and his own life is completely in the hands of others, and there is no room for bargaining, and he does not even have time to hesitate and think, and immediately panicked and said to the herald beside him: "Quick, hang up the battle card, surrender." Surrender quickly. ”
The herald could not wait any longer, and when he heard his order, he gave a military salute to the captain, and then ran out in a hurry, shouting at the top of his voice: "Quick! Hang the battle card! Captain Wan agreed to surrender, hurry up and hang up the battle free card! That voice sounded more exciting than his own daughter-in-law.
"Quick, quick, quick! Take out the war-free card and hang it on the city! A centurion of the Uighur army, who was in charge of commanding from the tower, ordered in a frenzy. Just now, a volley of artillery from the Ming army completely blinded him, and also completely woke him up, before he was afraid that after surrendering, he would be slaughtered like the previous centurion, and he was still hesitating in his heart, but now he completely gave up this idea, did not hesitate at all, and his determination to surrender was firmer than anyone else, because he knew that after surrendering, he might only die, but if he didn't surrender, he had to die. And he was hit by this huge buckshot, and he died very miserably, and he couldn't die anymore.
"Battle-free cards, take out the battle-free cards." One of the centurion's ten-captains saw that his soldiers were still grinding, and kicked him in the ass in anger. Fuck, isn't it exciting when your life is at stake? Brain twitching?
If you are a little late, it will be more dangerous!
The Uighur soldier was first bombarded by the Ming army's shells, and he had already been blown up, and now he was kicked by his own commander, and his head was even more confused. ”
"Suddenly red, suddenly red, where is suddenly red? Fuck, where are you dead, I can't find anyone in a pinch! The ten-captain hurriedly scolded, the Ming army's lead bullet was so powerful, maybe his head would be smashed by them later.
At this time, a voice that made him even more speechless and crazy came, saying: "Captain Shi, suddenly Chi has been stoned to death, and I don't know where he threw it by him." ”
Allah, do you really do this to me? The ten-captain collapsed instantly, this is not the death of the Han people, and said: "Go and make another one, you will all die if it's too late!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes." The Uighur soldiers, who had already been smashed by large lead bullets flying from the sky, were even more hurried this time, and quickly removed the wooden planks on the castle tower and carved the word "free from war" with their knives.
Several soldiers quickly made a war exemption card, in order to make the word "war exemption" more conspicuous, generally painted with red paint, but now the war is urgent, there is no red paint anywhere, and when he was jumping straight to his feet, a smart man began to take the blood of his dead companion to use the red paint, and dyed the word "free from war" in red.
The war was incomparably cruel.
After the battle exemption card was ready, several Uighur soldiers braved the enemy's artillery fire to hang it on the top of the city, and shouted with all their strength to the Ming army below the city: "Don't fight, don't fight!" We surrendered! ”
Not far from the city, a Ming army of the Shenji battalion saw this scene in front of him, and grinned happily, which proved that their deterrent power is still very great, a few cannons went down, and directly bombarded the Uighur army on the head of the city and surrendered, this sense of accomplishment is really not to say, one word, it is cool!
Just when the soldier of the Ming Army's Shenji Battalion was immersed in intoxication, his chief flag officer came up and kicked him in the ass and scolded: "What the fuck are you smirking at? Hurry up and fire! ”
The soldier of the Ming army stumbled and almost fell, and after standing firmly, he looked at his chief flag officer very suspiciously and said: "My lord, they have already hung up the war-free card, do we still have to fight?" ”
It's really an unenlightened raw melon egg, the chief flag officer of the Ming army glanced at him angrily, and scolded: "What are they hanging up about your, the order we received is to shell Gaochang City, let me ask you, is this order canceled now?" ”
The soldier of the Ming army was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, right, am I listening to the king or these Uighur Tartars? They said that if they didn't fight, they wouldn't fight, and then they and their teammates manipulated the general's cannon and released one big lead bullet after another!
The Uighur army in the city is really complaining, what are we going to fight after we have surrendered, and the no-war cards are hung out, can't you see? Look here, the war-free card.
Outside the city, Zhu Ao and Di Linazha, who were standing under the general's banner, smiled and looked at this scene at the head of the city very happily.
The most important thing for a woman is to follow the right man, and if she follows the right man, she will be prosperous in her life, and if she follows a fool, it is not necessary to be enslaved by him when the time comes.
Seeing that the fire was almost over, it seemed that this time the Falcon army had seen the power of the widows, and the widows also took this opportunity to achieve the purpose of trying the level of the Shenji Battalion. ”
"Stop the attack and prepare to surrender!" Zhao De, the general standing beside Zhu Ao, shouted with his strength.
The herald then ran to Li Mian's position and conveyed Zhu Ao's order. Although Li Mian was a little unsatisfied, he gave him a guts, and he did not dare to disobey Zhu Ao's order, so he immediately waved his command flag and ordered: "Stop attacking!" ”
The well-trained Ming army ordered to forbid it, and after hearing Li Mian's order, he immediately stopped the attack in unison, and then stood in place in a neat and orderly manner, highly alert for the disabled army in the city, and then waited intently for the commander's next order.
When he has a complete advantage, he can still maintain twelve points of vigilance, such an army is a qualified army, Zhu Ao did it, he used his prestige and talent to create a strong army that belongs to him.
When the Uighur troops in Gaochang City saw this scene, they all breathed a long sigh of relief, and Allah appeared, and they finally saw the war-free card they hung up.
The commander of the Uighur army in the command post in the city heard the abrupt halt of the artillery outside the city, and his heart was also relieved, it seemed that there was no need to sacrifice for the khan this time, he glanced at the generals in the command post, and said expressionlessly: "Let's go, go out of the city and surrender with this general." ”
Although it was said that surrender could save their lives, it was not a glorious thing after all, and naturally it was not worth the people to be happy, and the Uighur commanders in the command post also drooped their heads and surrendered as their commanders left the city.
Zhu Ao stood outside the city with great vigor, looking straight at the city gate of Gaochang, his eyes were full of frivolity and banter, he knew that he had conquered another place, and there would be new enemies kneeling at his feet to say sorry, this feeling was really cool, he found that he had gradually become addicted to this feeling, what should I do if I became addicted?
Soon after, Zhu Ao saw the east gate of Gaochang City slowly open, and a naked, shirtless man slowly walked out with a group of people, all of them bowed their heads and looked respectful, and threw aside all the weapons in their hands to show that they sincerely surrendered and had no malicious intentions.
Zhu Ao and Di Linaza stood side by side on the general's platform, looking at all this with a very satisfied gaze, very satisfied, very happy, this is the majesty of the king, and all those who dare to argue with the widow in the future will eventually end up like this.
The commander of the Uighur army led his men to a short distance in front of Zhu Ao and Di Linaza, and then knelt down with a "plop", walked forward on his knees, rubbed at the feet of Zhu Ao and Di Linaza, and said: "Sin will meet the king, meet the princess, Sin will be willing to surrender, and support the king with the city and 10,000 elite soldiers, please accept the king with a smile." ”
Zhu Ao drooped his eyelids and looked at the Uighur army general kneeling at his feet, his heart was full of satisfaction, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and said: "You are very knowledgeable about current affairs, and you can take the initiative to surrender and avoid the people in the city from being ruined, and you still have merit." Arise, and the widow will not kill you, but will reward you severely. ”
The commander of the Uighur army was very happy, and he was still very satisfied with the treatment of surrendering, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you for the king's grace not to kill, and the sin will surely be ruined to repay the king's kindness." ”
The corners of Zhu Ao's mouth twitched, he had heard such words I don't know how many times, in fact, his heart had long been numb, and said: "The people you take with you are camped outside the city, and if there is a task, the widow will send it to you." ”
The commander of the Uighur army knelt on the ground and prostrated and said, "The sinful general commands!" ”
Zhu Ao ordered Zhao De to enter the city first to control the situation, and then led 30,000 troops into Gaochang City, leaving 70,000 troops stationed outside the city, ready to march to Yili at any time.
This city has not gone through any major battles, the buildings, the people and so on are relatively intact, this time it can be said that it has made a profit, the people in the city and the people of the sandbank last time all ran to the street, eating pot pulp, kneeling on both sides of the road to meet the king, or that sentence, they are not because of love, but because of fear, because if they don't do this, they will die, and no one wants to die.
Of course, due to the influence of certain factors, there were still diehards in the city, but the advance team used by Zhao De was easily cleaned up, and all the wives and daughters were confiscated as slaves for the entertainment of the sergeants.
Zhu Ao took Di Linaza into the largest building in the city, the location of the Gaochang Mansion, and put the sword in his hand on the shelf.
Knowing that the king wanted to rest, Di Linaza immediately ran behind him quickly, took off his armor, threw it to the maid behind him, and then respectfully helped Zhu Ao to his seat, knelt down, and slowly took off his two boots so that his king could be more comfortable.
After helping Zhu Ao change his clothes, Di Lina also changed into civilian clothes under the service of the maid, and then a coquettish sat in Zhu Ao's arms and said with a smile: "The king is so majestic today, our cannons are so powerful, the Uighurs who blew up can't raise their heads at all." ”
Zhu Ao smiled very proudly: "Aren't you talking nonsense? The widow has worked hard for so long, can the Shenji Battalion not be powerful? They paid a lot of money. But do you know that the most powerful thing about the widow is not actually the cannon in the Shenji Battalion. ”
"Oh?" Di Linaza looked curious, except for the Shenji Battalion, he had not heard that the king had formed other firearms troops, could it be that he had formed a secret army without telling everyone, and said, "Does the king still have the most powerful cannon?" Where is it, take it out and let the concubines see it. ”
Zhu Ao smiled evilly, took her under him, and said very silverly: "Haven't you seen the widow's cannon a long time ago?" Do you want to see it today? ”
Di Linaza finally knew what he was talking about, her cheeks turned crimson, and she said very embarrassedly: "The king is good or bad, he knows how to bully his concubines." ”
Zhu Ao didn't talk nonsense with her, and fortunately came to her with the power of a big victory and his own strong interest, and both of them got great satisfaction.
When she was done, Di Lina put her arms around Zhu Ao's neck and said with a smile: "The great king is so powerful, when will you go to conquer the capital of the Uighurs, Yili Sholi?" ”
Zhu Ao was in a good mood, and his body was also greatly comforted, and he smiled: "What? Are you in such a hurry to get revenge? ”
Di Lina pouted and said with a complaining face: "Look at what the king said, who do you think of your concubine?" The concubine wants to take revenge, but it is mainly for the sake of the king, the father is old, and you know the grandson's personality, he is very jealous of the vassal king, and he will cut the feudal domain after he ascends the throne. The concubine wanted the king to take advantage of this opportunity to take down the Uighurs as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night and change later. ”
Zhu Ao laughed, pinched her small mouth and said, "Of course the widow knows what you mean, the widow is joking with you." Don't worry, the widow will stay here for a few days and leave, not long ago I have received a good news from Qu Neng, Warat has been completely pacified, Mahamu is also dead, and the threat in the north of my country has been completely eliminated. ”
"Really?" Di Linaza said very happily: "Congratulations to the king, the concubine, the king's martial arts are really far beyond the previous dynasties, ancient and modern." ”
"Hahaha!" Zhu Ao was very comfortable by this sycophant, who doesn't like to be worshiped by his own woman as a god, and said: "The widow will wait for them here for a few days, and after they meet with the widow, we will surround Yili together, and when the time comes, our 200,000 troops will attack Yili together, I see how the old boy of the black son can bear it." His grandmother's actually dared to rob a woman with a widow, and she didn't pee to take care of herself. ”
Di Linaza lay in Zhu Ao's arms, her expression was full of sweetness, and said: "The king must promise his concubine that after capturing the black child alive in the future, he must let the concubine kill him with his own hands to avenge his father." ”
Zhu Ao stroked her cloud-like hair, and said with a doting face: "Don't worry, the widow will definitely let you get what you want." ”
"Concubine, thank you, king."
Two days later, Qu Neng and others came to Gaochang City with the captives of Wara, most of whom were women, and after seeing Zhu Ao, they bowed their heads and said, "The last general will visit the king, the king is a thousand years old, a thousand years old." ”
Zhu Ao laughed, helped him up very happily, and said, "General, please get up quickly, the general has worked hard." The general's destruction of Warat in this battle and the eternal desert is really an unprecedented feat. ”
Qu Neng slowly stood up and said very embarrassedly: "Thank you for the king's praise, the general will be able to succeed, all thanks to the cans and arquebuses invented by the king, so that the army does not have to worry about the supply of military food in the desert." The last general will not dare to take credit. ”
Zhu Ao likes his modest attitude very much, this is the strategy to protect the wealth, like Lan Yu, he will his tail after making some contributions, he doesn't know who his surname is, he won't kill you, and said: "The general is too modest, no matter what, you still have merit." The widow has already decided, and he will increase the number of food and euphemism for you by 500 households, and the rest of the generals will each have a reward. ”
Qu Neng knelt on the ground again, kowtowed, and said, "The last general thanks the king, the king is a thousand years old, a thousand years old." By the way, the king, this time the last general also caught Mahamu's wife and asked the king to dispose of it. After that, he cast a lewd glance at Zhu Ao.
Mahamu's wife, that is, the granddaughter of Temujin, who was the mighty man in the world, this is a good dish, the widow has tasted the beauty of the world, and has not tasted the descendants of this person, and smiled appreciatively at Qu Neng: "General Lao is worried, bring her up." ”
Qu Neng smiled, clasped his fists and saluted: "The king doesn't have to be polite, the minister will bring her up." Then, with a wave of his hand, the colonel under his command pushed up a beautiful woman with her hands tied behind her back. Qu Neng said: "Your Majesty, this is Mahamu's wife, the Erjin family. ”
Zhu Ao's eyes glanced at the beautiful woman to be slaughtered, and he felt quite satisfied, and said: "The general has worked hard, go back and rest, seize the time to rest in the past few days, we will be besieged by the whole army in a short time." When the time comes, I hope that the general will make another contribution. ”
Qu Neng was very excited, and nothing can stimulate the heart of a military general more than military feats, and said: "Thank you to the king, the last general is willing to serve the king." The end will be retired! Then he made a gesture at Zhu Ao, and then retreated outside the house with his two personal soldiers, and closed the door of the house with his hand.
