Ah Shu was carried down the city wall by the guards around him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the battle of Jincheng two days ago, Ah Shu didn't personally feel the sharpness of the Dingkun cannon, but this time he really felt it, if it weren't for the desperate guards around him, he Ah Shu might have been hit by the shells of the Dingkun cannon.

Seeing that the return cannon on the city wall was hit by the shells of the Dingkun cannon and became shattered, there was no chance to throw the boulder on the city wall out, and when the artillery began to bombard, there was no trace of the Ming army sergeant at all, and the return cannon could not really be fired.

The boulders piled up on the city wall were hit by cannonballs, and the broken stones also became killing weapons, and some of the sergeants were lucky enough to avoid the cannonballs, but they were hit by the scattered debris and fell to the ground.

The greater danger comes from the city wall itself, what Ah Shu never imagined was that the city wall, which looked quite strong, was even vulnerable, with the bombardment of cannonballs like raindrops, the city wall began to tremble, some stones fell off with the cannonballs, and the city gate had already been shattered, but fortunately, there were a lot of wood and stones in the corridor, blocking the soldiers from rushing into the city.

The scene of the blurred flesh and blood on the city wall, the shock to the sergeant is devastating, just imagine, the person who was still alive just now, the flesh and blood are blurred in the blink of an eye, and even become completely unrecognizable blood cells and blood cakes, such a taste is not many people can bear, Ah Shu saw the sergeant who could not bear the stimulation, screaming and running around on the city wall, some fell under the city wall, and some were forcibly taken down the city wall.

When Ah Shu was taken away from the city wall, he was extremely unwilling, although it was said that the cannonball did not have eyes, but it did not hit Ah Shu, who did not deliberately dodge, everything that happened on the city wall, and everything that could happen, was all in Ah Shu's mind.

Until he was carried away from the city wall, Ah Shu did not see the Ming army sergeant charge, at this time he finally understood that it seemed that the Ming army was thinking of waiting for the artillery to exert great power, and the city wall was unlikely to be broken by the Ming sergeant, but it was possible to be crushed by the Ming artillery.

An hour passed, and the rumbling sound of artillery finally died down.

Ah Shu's order was immediately issued, and tens of thousands of soldiers immediately swarmed towards the city wall, although the city wall suffered great damage, but it has not collapsed, and the soldiers still have to hold on to the city wall.

The sergeants who were waiting for the Ming army to charge, the return cannon above and below the city wall had suffered serious damage and could not play a big role, but there were still many sergeants, and they could also be killed.

Ah Shu ignored the obstruction of the guards around him and also went up to the city wall.

It was already past the hour, and it was said that the drums of the army should sound, and the attack should be carried out.

However, it was still very quiet outside the city wall, nothing could be seen, nothing could be felt, no Ming sergeants were charged and attacked, and there was no dense sound of horses' hooves.

This scene made Ah Shu wonder what kind of medicine was sold in Wu Shaogang's gourd.

In the Chinese military tent, Wu Shaogang is still calm, and his latest order has been issued: the sergeant should not attack for the time being, wait for another round of attack by the Dingkun artillery, and must wait until the city wall is bombarded with a hole before the army can charge.

This order made Cai Siwei and others anxious, but there was no way, they really didn't understand, although the city wall of Lianshui County was not very strong, but thinking about letting the Dingkun cannon break the city wall, it was not a matter of a short time, if it really waited for the Dingkun cannon to blast out a big hole in the city wall, I am afraid it would take several days, is it difficult to wait for many soldiers.

The Dingkun cannon can not be fired for a long time, and after the gun chamber is heated, it needs to rest, otherwise there is a danger of exploding, resulting in the destruction of the cannon body and casualties.

But Wu Shaogang's order has been issued, and no one can disobey it.

However, Hao Jing, who supervised the war, seemed to understand the meaning, and seemed to be unhurried, but comforted Cai Siwei, don't be too anxious, the order to attack will be issued sooner or later, Your Highness is under control, and what needs to be done now is to obey the order, so that all the soldiers are ready, and can devote themselves to the charge with the most sufficient physical strength and momentum.

Time is ticking, and it's almost noon.

The rumbling of artillery rang out again.

Ah Shu on the city wall, his face changed again, he probably couldn't imagine that the Ming army would take such an attack, doesn't this mean that the sergeants stationed on the city wall need to use their flesh and blood to fight against the sparkling iron ball, which is obviously unrealistic, even if it is a fully armed and armored heavy cavalry, there is no power to fight back in the face of cannonballs.

The sudden cannonballs caused heavy casualties on the city wall in an instant, and the ground that had just been cleared once again had a strong smell of blood.

Many of the sergeants were forced to evacuate under the walls to avoid further casualties.

Ah Shu was also forced to evacuate with him, after all, he didn't dare to guarantee that he would have such good luck every time.

Only a few sergeants remained on the walls, and the rest were evacuated.

The situation that caught Ah Shu off guard also appeared at this time, and the cannonballs actually began to extend in the direction of depth, and some sergeants stationed not far from the city wall were hit by the sudden cannonballs, and the screams suddenly appeared.

What was even more frightening was that the return cannon placed not far from the city wall was also in a catastrophe, and under the impact of the cannonballs, it began to disintegrate in an instant.

As long as the Ming army began to attack, the return cannon would throw boulders and inflict heavy casualties on the Ming soldiers.

Seeing that these return cannons were hit by shells and could not be used again.

Ah Shu's face turned pale, and the extension of the artillery bombardment not only caused him to lose a lot of sergeants and increase the number of casualties, but also made the return cannon that he relied on unable to exert its power.

If the Ming army always attacks by artillery bombardment, with the sergeants in the city, it is really impossible to resist well, it is not possible to rush out, and it is not a good way to shrink in the city.

This artillery bombardment was not very long, lasting only half an hour, and the losses caused were far greater than the first bombardment.

Seeing that all of them were destroyed, Ah Shu's emotions exploded, and the staff around him were met with angry roars, even Lu Wende could not be an exception.

Some staff suggested that the people of the Great Song royal family should stand on the city wall, so that the Ming army would most likely not dare to charge, this suggestion was ruthlessly rejected by Ah Shu, if Wu Shaogang didn't care about this, then Ah Shu thought that the possibility of negotiating with the people of the Great Song royal family did not exist.

Zhongjun tent, looking at Cai Siwei and Zhang Jue and others who looked anxious, Wu Shaogang opened his mouth unhurriedly.

"I know what you think, the soldiers have made all the preparations, and they are about to start charging, but the order to charge has not been issued for a long time, you are in a hurry, the soldiers under your command, I am afraid that they are even more anxious, but I want to say, don't be too anxious, you must know that the Mongolian army stationed in the city, with a total strength of more than 100,000 people, in the face of such a huge team, if we want to annihilate them, we must calm down and wait for the best time to appear."

"After today's bombardment, presumably Ah Shu will change his response strategy, the total number of sergeants left on the city wall will not be too much, so as not to cause indifferent casualties, as long as Ah Shu does this, it will be the time for the general attack of the army."

"Within today, we won't attack, but tomorrow, the attack will begin, and at that time, even if Ah Shu is an immortal, it will be too late to make adjustments again."

"Okay, Cai Siwei, Zhang Jue, Ma Long, you all go and prepare, remember to keep the morale of the soldiers high, don't be discouraged, let alone guess at will, so as not to disturb the morale of the army."

After Cai Siwei and others received the order, they left the Chinese military tent and went to implement Wu Shaogang's deployment.

Hao Jing looked at Wu Shaogang and couldn't help but speak.

"Your Highness, there are people from the Great Song Dynasty royal family in Lianshui County, and the lower officials plead to deal with this matter. . . ."

Wu Shaogang did not speak, neither affirming nor denying.

In the view of Wu Shaogang, who crossed over, the people of the Great Song Dynasty royal family could not pose much of a threat to themselves, but in the eyes of Li Tingzhi and others, the people of the Great Song Dynasty royal family were a huge threat, which stemmed from the difference in understanding.

In the final analysis, Wu Shaogang's deep understanding in his heart does not belong to this era, he still doesn't know much about the cruel struggle between imperial powers, but Li Tingzhi and others are different, they know that the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty is a huge threat, and if they can't handle it carefully, it will even cause fatal damage to the Ming Palace.

Think about the Great Song Dynasty that has perished in history, its imperial palaces were burned down by the Great Yuan Dynasty, and many tombs of Great Song emperors were robbed by monks of the Yuan Dynasty, you can know the cruelty of the change of imperial power.

Wu Shaogang doesn't care about all this, but he can't stop Li Tingzhi and others from finding a way to deal with it, this seems a little cruel, but it is a last resort, if the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty still exists, or even lives well, who knows if someone will make trouble from it after a few years.

Of course, Wu Shaogang's bottom line is still there, that is, it is not allowed to kill people from the Great Song Dynasty, and these people can be banished, so that they will never have a chance to turn over, but they cannot be blatantly killed.

As for the conquest of Lianshui County this time, whether the people of the Great Song Dynasty royal family, who were controlled by Ah Shu, would become the object of the transaction, or even become a weight to block the attack of the army, no one can say.

Seeing that Wu Shaogang didn't speak, Hao Jing turned around and left, and went to find Cai Siwei.

Wu Shaogang looked at Hao Jing's figure and sighed slightly.

"Your Highness, the lower officials think that Lord Hao will definitely be able to handle this matter well, so Your Highness doesn't have to worry."
