After the main force of the southern army led by Xiao Fan arrived at the city of Baoding, they immediately began to attack the city.

Perhaps because of the anger of the previous negotiation incident, Xiao Fan did not leave his hand this time, and ordered the soldiers to storm Baoding.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the use of firearms has been quite large-scale, in addition to Hongwu cannons, there are fire dragon guns, mines, and a swarm of rocket artillery running together with hundreds of tigers, etc., if used for siege, the Hongwu cannon is the most powerful, this attack on Baoding, Xiao Fan of course can not ignore this powerful firearm, his concept is very humane, although since ancient times for the generals are not in charge of the army, but Xiao Fan does not like to use a piece of fresh human life to exchange for victory, when there are sharp firearms in the hand, why use human lives to fill?

So, before the siege of the city, the southern army accompanied by more than 100 Hongwu cannons played a powerful role, from Xiao Fan ordered the siege of the city, more than 100 Hongwu cannons were moved to a distance of 500 steps from the Baoding city wall, and then a hundred cannons fired together, a solid iron bullet, flowering bombs, and even incendiary bombs filled with flammable fire oil, these powerful firearms frantically shot towards the head of Baoding City, the rumbling cannon sound resounded over Baoding City, several rounds of shelling, the smoke of gunpowder dispersed, the city wall of Baoding City has already been full of craters, shocking a devastation.

The soldiers of the Yan army defending the city lay under the arrow stacks at the head of the city, at a loss, and a few soldiers who were not afraid of death looked up curiously, and they were very unlucky to be beaten to pieces by the stormy iron bullets, and fell to the ground with convulsions.

When the smoke cleared, Xiao Fan took a few closer steps to look at the results of the shelling, and then frowned and shook his head, as if he was not very satisfied with the results of these rounds of shelling.

Cao Yi, who was following him, understood what he meant, so he waved his hand: "A few more rounds!" ”

Boom Boom!

A new round of shelling began, the Yan soldiers at the head of Baoding City were always suppressed by the cannons and did not dare to raise their heads, the shocking roar of the cannons, and the pouring of cannonballs poured out, so that the morale of the soldiers defending the city quickly fell down, everyone lay on the horse road at the head of the city, looking around in horror and despair, and a breath of the end filled all parts of the city.

There was a brief pause in the artillery fire outside the city, and the soldiers of the Yan army had just breathed a sigh of relief, and before they could show a relieved smile, the cannons outside the city began to roar again, and the cannonballs seemed to be pouring madly towards the city as if they didn't want money.

The huge sense of depression and the imminent death threat made the already low morale of the Yan soldiers become close to collapse, and finally, a Yan soldier threw away the weapon in his hand, jumped up like a madman, and ran frantically down the city while tearing his clothes, crying hysterically: "I can't stand it!" I don't want to fight! I'm going home......"

Rumble!

A solid iron bullet smashed the heads of the running soldiers to pieces, red and white splashed all over the ground, the heads were shattered by the cannons, but the body still ran several steps before falling to the ground, the bloody and strange scene made the Yan soldiers feel a desperate chill in their hearts.

After the southern army stopped shelling, the Baoding city wall was full of holes, and the southern city wall was the most damaged, because the shells were completely concentrated on this side, and the corner of the city wall had been blown down by the cannons.

Xiao Fan saw this scene from afar, and the corners of his mouth finally showed a satisfied smile.

In the face of the huge power of hot weapons, attacking the city is as simple as that, as long as the city wall collapses, Baoding City is like a big girl stripped naked by hooligans, you can touch it as you want.

The smile on the corner of his mouth gradually turned into a sneer, and Xiao Fan lightly ordered: "Order, continue the shelling!" ”

Cao Yi rubbed his hands a little excitedly and said, "My lord, you don't need to fire any more guns, right?" You see, the walls are falling, and the brethren are allowed to storm into them. ”

Xiao Fan shook his head: "It's not okay, it's not completely collapsed, what we are bombarding now is not only the city wall, but also the will of the 90,000 Yan troops in the city, I want to use artillery to bombard them to the point that their will will collapse......"

"This ...... Is it necessary? ”

Xiao Fan sighed, and had to explain patiently to him: "For example, you are a pervert......

"This doesn't need to be like, I'm a pervert." Cao Yi squinted and accepted Xiao Fan's praise.

"Well, well, you're a pervert, you met a charming girl, and then dragged her to a place where no one was trying to thin her, and now this girl's clothes have been stripped to nothing but a belly pocket and obscene pants, do you give up now, or continue to strip her until she is naked?"

Cao Yi said without thinking: "Of course you have to take off your essence, otherwise what will you do?" ”

Xiao Fan nodded approvingly: "As soon as I heard it, I knew that Brother Cao was an experienced old rascal, and what we are doing now is also what we mean, if we want to fight, we will simply break their will, don't give them a chance to restore their morale in the future, once they are scared and disabled, they will not have the courage to fight with us again, or that metaphor, if you despise that girl once, if you meet that girl again for the second time, and you want to snuggle her again when you are interested, I can guarantee that that the girl's resistance will not be as fierce as the first time." ……”

Cao Yi's eyes straightened: "Your analogy is very simple...... But I want to know, which girl is so unlucky that she has been touched by perverts one after another? ”

"Zhu Di is that unlucky girl, who was shot by me one after another...... Pass the order and keep the shelling going! ”

"Yes!"

Xiao Fan didn't raise his eyelids, and said lightly: "If all the shells are gone, remember to stuff my master into the barrel and shoot it on the city wall of Baoding." ”

Boom Boom!

The new round of shelling continued, and the soldiers of the Yan army, who had just caught their breath on the city wall, had to lie down again, covering their ears and waiting in horror for the cannonfire to stop.

In Baoding City, Zhu Di and Dao Yan were also lying on the head of the city, and the raindrops of iron bullets flew overhead, hitting the arrow stacks behind them, and bursts of stone chips and dust flew.

Zhu Di lay on the ground, not moving, but his face was greener than the moss on the city wall.

"This bastard, don't you want money for shells? Put on airs! Waste of court silver! Ben Wang ......"

Rumble!

An iron bullet landed less than a foot behind him, and a huge crater was smashed into the ground, interrupted by the sound of a loud impact.

Dao Yan shook his head vigorously, stretched out his hand to wipe the stone powder off his bald head, and shouted with a sigh: "Lord Wang, Baoding is not guaranteed, we can no longer defend it, we should abandon the city and retreat, otherwise all the soldiers of the Yan army will be buried here, and the great cause of the prince is unexpected!" ”

Zhu Di said angrily: "This king has been fighting horses for 20 years, and he has never abandoned a city, and I still have 90,000 soldiers under my command, how can I abandon the city and flee?" I don't believe that Xiao Fan's cannonballs are endless, and as soon as the cannonade stops, what tricks can he play? ”

Dao Yan smiled miserably, raised his finger and pointed at the panicked Yan army soldiers around him, and said sadly: "Even if the cannonade stops, if the southern army starts to attack the city, with our current morale, can we still hold it?" ”

Zhu Di looked around, and saw that the soldiers were pale, their eyes were blank, and they were obviously frightened by the non-stop shelling of the Southern Army.

Zhu Di knew very well that the Yan army was now on the verge of demoralization, and if they relied on them to defend the city, he was afraid that it would be more difficult than ascending to the sky.

His expression changed, his face changed from blue to white, Zhu Di's cheeks were biting loudly, and his heart was in a painful struggle.

Suddenly, there was another loud bang from the southern city wall, and the frightened voice of the soldiers floated far away: "The city wall has collapsed again!" It's collapsed again! ”

Zhu Di was shocked, and unwillingly glanced at the southern army camp outside the city, and finally sighed heavily, and the tiger eyes instantly shed tears.

"We forsake the city,...... Back to Beiping! ”

Under the rain of the southern army's crazy pouring of artillery, the Yan army immediately abandoned the city, no way, Xiao Fan's siege method is too alternative, there are no rules at all, the Yan army feels a lot of pressure, from ancient times to the present, who has ever seen a siege only artillery? Such a shameless method can only be done by Xiao Fan, which is also thanks to the thick foundation of the imperial court, and decades of recuperation have accumulated a lot of treasury, and the cannonballs are all money, there is a saying in the previous life called "When the cannon goes off, the gold is ten thousand taels", Xiao Fan is good, as soon as the cannon sounds, ten thousand taels of gold flow out. If the chief steward of the imperial court is left and Yuxin is present, it is estimated that he will be distressed to death.

After the war, more than 100 Hongwu cannons were fought too fiercely, and more than 20 were blown up on the spot, Xiao Fan summed up his experience, which led to a truth, this kind of thing is the same as sexual affairs, it can't be too frequent, otherwise it will be scrapped. Those men who are known as "seven times in one night" don't think that they are so great, and they will blow up their chambers when they use too many iron cannons, let alone make of meat.

Insight often arises from the working life of the masses of the people, including wars.

The Yan army chose to break out from the north gate of Baoding, and fled to Beiping in panic, and Baoding City was easily taken without a single soldier. This battle was fought very easily, and the forward officer Ping'an's eyes changed when he looked at Xiao Fan, the boss is the boss in the end, the method of attacking the city is simple and rude, but it is effective, and Baoding City was taken without hurting a single life, what a great ability.

In the face of the surging praise of the generals, Xiao Fan behaved very modestly, he felt that there was nothing to praise, this siege was completely smashed with money, typical nouveau riche behavior, as for how many cannons were fired out in total...... Xiao Fan didn't dare to think about it, even the quartermaster reported to him about the consumption of shells and was stopped by him outside the tent, he was too lazy to listen, he didn't dare to listen, he had already predicted in advance what the distressed old face of Yu Shangshu looked like.

The Yan army left, and the imperial court successfully recovered Baoding.

The army entered the city, Xiao Fan rode a horse, walked in front without hurry, half-closed, without much joy of victory, this kind of victory without any technical content did not have much sense of accomplishment for him, the only thing he was pleased with was that he did not regain this city without much killing, in his heart, life is worthy of respect, whether it is grass mustard or famous flowers, life is duty, the right of God.

Looking at the gradually gloomy sky, Xiao Fan rode on his horse and pondered for a long time, and said, "It is advisable to chase after the poor ......."

Cao Yi shook his head and said, "What did you say?" ”

Xiao Fan smiled, turned his head and shouted, "Where is the safety of the forward officer?" ”

A horse flashed out of the ranks of the people entering the city and rushed quickly.

"The last general!"

Xiao Fan said in a deep voice: "Yan rebel retreats this time, he will inevitably retreat to Beiping, General Ping'an, order you to lead 50,000 horses, set off immediately, and go north to pursue the Yan rebel army...... Well, physical strength, it must be very weak, you 50,000 people will definitely not suffer when they meet them, I believe you have experienced this, go quickly! If you annihilate them before they enter Beiping, you will be counted as your first merit! ”

Ping An licked his dry lips excitedly, clasped his fists and said loudly: "Yes!" ”

After receiving the order, he turned his horse's head safely and shouted loudly to some soldiers.

Xiao Fan's eyes were safe, and he secretly calculated in his heart, and muttered: "The buried hand of dark chess, it should also be used at this time......"

"What dark chess?"

Xiao Fan smiled slightly, and said softly: "Duoyan Sanwei!" ”

Cao Yi smiled and said, "Those guys who take silver for nothing, you finally plan to use them?" Don't you say that I thought you were the one who was wronged. ”

"I didn't use it before, because it wasn't the right time, Duoyan Sanwei's gang was used to seeing the wind and making the rudder, so they could only add icing on the cake, and never sent charcoal in the snow, when our war was unfavorable, you didn't expect him to help us, on the contrary, when we fought smoothly, they cried and shouted to help beat the water dogs......"

"Now is the time to beat the reservoir dogs?"

Xiao Fan nodded and said: "Yes, Zhu Di's defeat has been decided, there is no suspense about this, although Duoyan Sanwei is far away, but what happened in Daming they must be clear, if you don't hurry up to show your loyalty to the Son of Heaven at this time, when will you wait?" Brother Cao, you now go and send a message to the flying pigeons of the thousands of households stationed outside the Jinyi Guard, and order Duoyan Sanwei to enter the customs immediately, now the Shanhaiguan is still in the hands of Zhu Di, so they can't come in from the Shanhaiguan, so the casualties are too expensive, let them detour to Shanxi, cross the Great Wall, enter the customs from Datong Mansion, and send my handwritten letter to the Datong garrison general and His Royal Highness the Acting King, if Duoyan Sanwei is not allowed to enter the customs, tell Tulu Huchaer, go straight to the Bauhinia Pass after entering the customs, cooperate with Ping'an, and give Zhu Di a fierce two-headed attack! ”

Cao Yi nodded, hesitated, and said, "If you use Duoyan Sanwei to quell the rebellion, will the imperial court really give Daning to Duoyan in the future?" ”

Xiao Fan was stunned and said, "Who said that you want to seal Daning to them?" ”

Cao Yi was also stunned: "Didn't you say it to Tulu Kuchar in person?" ”

Xiao Fan snorted and said, "What are you kidding!" I gave them such a big piece of land for nothing, am I not a Han annihilation? ”

Cao Yi was shocked and said, "But ...... But you and Trukuzar swore to the Heavenly Alliance......"

"There are more men who swear by the mountains and seas, how many people have you seen take their oaths seriously?"

Cao Yi only discovered today what a despicable and shameless soul was hidden under this handsome appearance, and Xiao Fan's life values shocked him.

"This ...... Can it really be relied upon? What if he doesn't agree? ”

Xiao Fan spread his hands very scoundrelly: "Is there a note?" Is there a contract written in black and white? Are there any witnesses? The common people have to get married to three media and six certificates, why does Tulu Kuzar say that such a big place in Daning is his? Isn't this blackmail? The yamen told him to go to ......"

Cao Yi was dumbfounded: "............"

Xiao Fan patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Life is a big fool, whoever believes it is unlucky, and I encourage you!" ”

“…… Learn! ”
