Chapter 0196, if you don't fall, you will be in ruins
Because it was getting late, Fan Jinyan was afraid that the boat would capsize in the gutter, so he ordered the soldiers to set up camp overnight, and ordered the defense to be strengthened to avoid being taken to camp.
But, overnight, nothing special happened.
The next day, Fan Jinyan led a group of generals and generals to climb the hill next to the barracks early in the morning to observe the closed gate of Jianping County not far away.
Mo Yao is really true, the nearly eight-meter-high Jianping City is all made of boulders, and each of the four corners has built an arrow tower that is two meters higher than the city wall, and the outermost part is wrapped with a two-meter-wide moat, if there is no artillery bombardment, it will be heavily damaged to fill the moat only by human life, not to mention such a high city wall.
It is no wonder that this place is called the gateway to Thang Long City, the lifeblood of Annam's defense, as long as there is enough food and weapons, a thousand soldiers can resist the power of the Nguyen clan.
However, this city, which has defended the honor of Annan countless times, will now face the Ming soldiers with hundreds of artillery.
Will it be able to continue to defend its honor?
Decades ago, the Ming Dynasty helped the Mo clan defend against the Ruan clan and built it, and now it is the Ming soldiers who are coming to destroy it, how ironic and ridiculous.
The city walls of Jianping County were crowded with people, and they seemed to be looking at the invaders not far away, most of them were ordinary people who had just been summoned by the county guard in the past two days, they had no weapons, no armor, some were just a fragile life, they had no future, no hope, and some were just for the master to buy.
Jianping County Keeper is the queen mother's father Li Weiyou, who was originally the palace guard general of the Kingdom of Annam, because of his daughter's relationship, he changed from a slave of the emperor's family, and also became a hereditary county guard who dominated one side, and was also the county guard of the strongest city wall in the kingdom.
If Fan Jinyan knew all this, he would immediately find a lot of questions.
General Su Guard?
The position is not big, but its rights and responsibilities are not small, and it accompanies the king all the year round, and it definitely belongs to the red people around the king.
Is it the dying king who doubts that he wants to marry his daughter? Or did he arrange it on purpose?
There must be a cat in it
However, what is more important is the surname of the name Li Weiyou of Jianping County.
The surname Li.
According to the original historical trajectory, Annan has always been a dispute between the LĂŞ clan and the Mo clan, and there is nothing to do with the Nguyen clan at all. Moreover, the Li clan was the ruler of Annam recognized by the Ming Dynasty at the beginning.
But in this world, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Li family was replaced by the powerful minister Mo, and most of the descendants of the Li family died in the war, but there were still people whose whereabouts were unknown and went incognito.
Is this Li Weiyou a descendant of the Li Dynasty?
Is the big drama he and his daughter staged to revive the Li Dynasty?
Whether it is or not, Fan Jinyan is here, no matter how perfect Li Weiyou's plan is, the result will be the same
After burying the pot and cooking, the 6,000 army slowly entered the distance of 300 meters from Jianping City with 100 cannons all the way, which is the maximum range of bows and arrows and the best range of artillery.
Fan Jinyan did not rush to attack, but sent people to shout, asking the people inside to go out of the city and surrender, otherwise they would set foot on Jianping City.
Needless to say, this move did not provoke a response from the other party, not even the people who scolded the war.
Fan Jinyan was a little embarrassed, so he could only withdraw the soldiers who shouted and ordered the artillery to be tested.
He had said before that he was going to demolish the city, so hurting people was not the goal, the purpose was to bombard the city walls.
After receiving the order, the gunners asked the loader to put the same amount of gunpowder close, and then put the round iron balls weighing 20 catties closer to the barrel, and then adjusted the angle of the cannon according to Fan Jinyan's order
When everything was ready, I only heard the herald shout, "Let go"
The gunners subconsciously pulled the arquebus.
"Boom"
"Boom"
Hundreds of artillery pieces almost simultaneously made an earth-shattering loud noise, and after a series of dazzling tongues of fire appeared, one after another shells sprayed into the air, and then crossed a beautiful parabola, and finally basically fell to the same point, and suddenly smashed the rocks sideways, and the mountains shook the ground.
When the rumble sounded just now, Jianping City was shaking, and then the same position was bombarded by hundreds of shells almost at the same time.
Don't think that a cannonball is a stone thrower, an attack like this can instantly tear apart the defenses of the city walls.
Suddenly, the position where Jianping City was attacked, wailing, screaming, endlessly. But all this was obscured by the dust and smoke in the sky, and the Qiongzhou army outside the city could not see anything.
It wasn't until the dust and smoke were slowly blown away by the breeze that the people outside saw the results of their battle just now.
The place where Jianping City was broken for more than 20 meters was already full of sores, and the most serious one had collapsed, and many Jianping soldiers also stumbled and fell into the moat.
And the city wall is also a mess, and those who escape, those who squat in pain, and those who fall to the ground are everywhere.
However, all this did not seem to affect Fan Jinyan's mood, I saw him raise his hand and wave forward gently.
The sharp-eyed herald immediately shouted: "Keep loading"
"Put"
"Boom"
"Continue Loading"
"Put"
"Boom"
After more than a dozen shellings in a row, the southern part of Jianping City can no longer be called a city wall, the highest place is not even the original five meters, and the moat is also filled with collapsed boulders and fallen soldiers, and only a gap can be seen in the city gate.
Looking at Jianping City, which was full of blue wolves, Mo Yao swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and kept patting his chest, as if he was secretly congratulating himself for being smart.
And Wang Dashan, who was standing next to him, sneered after seeing his movements: "What? Scared? â
It was rare that Mo Yao didn't turn his face, but he didn't pay attention to him either, his eyes staring at the broken city wall and the mutilated corpse hanging somewhere on the city wall.
But at this time, no one came out to surrender, but a large number of people and soldiers with soft arms were squeezed out of the other three city gates.
I just don't know, how many people will die because of crowding and trampling?
Fan Jinyan did not dare to send troops into the city at this time, and the people who fled frantically for their lives would be his biggest resistance.
It was not until the soldiers and civilians in Jianping City were almost dispersed that Fan Jinyan said to the surrounding generals: "Send people to the other three city walls to cover the face of explosives, and Benhou will blow up this city." â
In the end, a huge earth-shattering roar sounded, and the lifeblood of the Kingdom of Annam was reduced to ruins in an instant.
Disappeared into the dust of Fan Jinyan (to be continued.) )
