Chapter 383: The city is about to be destroyed
Seeing that Chu Yi was not affected in the slightest in the rain of arrows, King Ning's face was pale, and the stronger Chu Yi became, wouldn't the stronger he became, the less his army was shocked, which could be seen from the reactions of those soldiers around him.
Chu Yi was already portrayed as a big devil by King Ning in the hearts of many soldiers, and now that even the rain of arrows could not hurt Chu Yi in the slightest, wouldn't it make the monarch's army even more turbulent.
"Where is the fire, give me a firecracker, bombard him to death, bombard him to death."
King Ning looked at Chu Yi, who was not damaged in the slightest under the city, his eyes were full of madness, and he roared at the soldiers around him.
Chu Yi glanced at King Ning, and his figure returned to the front of the battle with several ups and downs, but many imperial army saw that Chu Yi was safe and sound under the rain of arrows from King Ning's rebels, and they naturally regarded Chu Yi as a celestial being.
"Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng!"
The army couldn't help but shout, which can be described as high morale, but on the other hand, King Ning's rebels were pale and a little afraid.
The war had not yet begun, and as a result, King Ning's rebels had been discouraged by Chu Yi's intimidated army.
I saw Chu Yi raise his hand slightly, slowly fall, and shouted in a deep voice: "All the soldiers listen to the order, the army will attack the city, kill the king of Ning, and seal the marquis!" ”
Countless people couldn't help but stare at King Ning on the city wall with their eyes shining brightly, and they couldn't wait to fly over and slash King Ning with a knife.
Feng Hou, what a meritorious feat this is, the Ming Dynasty may not be able to seal a Hou Ye for decades.
That is, King Ning established himself as the emperor, so the one who killed King Ning had the opportunity to be crowned a marquis, otherwise, even if he made a great merit, he would be crowned an earl.
Just like history, Wang Shouren's more than 30 days to quell the rebellion of King Ning was nothing more than a feudal prince. It is conceivable how difficult it was for the marquis to be sealed when the Ming Dynasty was not defeated.
This time, Chu Yi used this as a reward, how great the temptation for the army was.
King Ning felt the gaze of tens of thousands of troops under the city staring at him, and the whole person instantly became bad.
"Chu Yi, Chu Yi, eunuch, thief..."
King Ning angrily smashed the city wall with his fist, and scolded angrily.
With Chu Yi's order, the army, which had already prepared for the siege, slowly rolled out more than a dozen bronze cannons.
Artillery can already be regarded as a common siege weapon for the Ming Dynasty.
Even if it is difficult for the artillery to move, it cannot withstand the deterrent power of the artillery.
To be honest, most of the artillery in this era is solid bullets, relying on the impact of the shells to kill the enemy, and the power of the artillery is not comparable to the power of the flowering shells, but the artillery is more of a deterrent.
Chu Yi Bingfeng is a chemical expert, he doesn't know much about artillery at all, but he knows the formula of more powerful gunpowder.
At Chu Yi's request and support, the East Factory directly dispatched the best craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry and the Ordnance Workshop of the Ministry of War to study artillery according to Chu Yi's requirements.
In the past few years, although it is said that no modern artillery with terrible power has been made, the newly cast artillery and the flowering shells produced are quite powerful, at least much stronger than solid bullets.
King Ning's rebels couldn't help but be stunned when they saw more than a dozen cannons being pushed out of the city.
The most Ming capital, Nanjing City naturally has artillery, but Jiangnan has been peaceful for a long time, and artillery has long been an ornament.
In addition, the water network in the south of the Yangtze River is dense, which is not very suitable for artillery operation, and very few large cities have artillery.
In fact, there are more than a dozen cannons on the city wall of Nanjing, but unfortunately these cannons are almost all left over from hundreds of years ago, and there is not even any maintenance on weekdays, and many cannons are directly rusty, and I am afraid that if they are used, they will be killed before they kill the enemy.
Several generals under King Ning were surprised when they saw the cannon that was pushed out, and at the same time said to King Ning, "Your Majesty, please go down the city wall quickly, just in case." ”
King Ning frowned and said: "It's just a few cannons, I'm afraid that even the city walls of Nanjing can't be bombarded, so why should I be afraid." ”
Nanjing City is really a city with high walls and thick walls, just as King Ning said, the solid bullets fired by the Ming artillery can't hit the city wall of Nanjing City at all.
Just as several generals were persuading King Ning, more than a dozen cannons under the city suddenly made a roaring sound like thunder.
The fire flickered at the muzzle, and the next moment a rumbling sound could be heard above the city walls.
In the dust, countless rubble flew sideways, and a section of the city wall was blasted out of the gap, revealing the loess under the masonry.
King Ning was directly frightened, and the whole person shrank behind the city wall, feeling the vibration of the city wall and the rubble thrown all over the sky.
Most of the more than a dozen soldiers who were bombarded lost their lives directly, and those who were not dead also wailed bitterly.
"Blossom bomb, this is blossom bomb, how is it possible, how can it be so powerful."
It's not that there are no flowering shells, but because of the power of gunpowder, the power of flowering shells is not even as good as solid bullets, so there are not many flowering shells, even if artillery is used during the siege of the city, it is also solid bullets.
"Boom, boom, boom"
Waves of artillery bombardment hit the city wall continuously, and I saw the city wall exploding in sections.
The soldiers who were originally guarding the city wall were already frightened by this time, and one by one they lay in the ruins, either covering their wounds and wailing, or trembling and praying that the cannons would not bombard their vicinity, otherwise there would be only one way to die.
Under the city wall, the generals opened their eyes one by one, and their faces were full of disbelief.
They naturally knew the performance of those artillery in the Ming army, and for many generals, they would rather use their soldiers to attack than to take the thankless task of transporting heavy artillery.
Originally, they didn't take the artillery brought by Chu Yi to heart at all, and they were ready to lead the army to attack the city one by one.
As a result, the dozen or so artillery pieces were so powerful that it can be said that everyone was stunned.
After reacting, these people couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Daming Wansheng, the chief manager Chitose." ”
Countless imperial army troops who were suppressed by the power of artillery also cheered loudly, and the sound shook all over the country, which made the rebels in Nanjing City tremble.
Chu Yi looked at the city wall that was filled with gunsmoke, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and his eyes narrowed: "Siege!" ”
Suddenly, a group of generals roared for it, and many soldiers carried high ladders to attack the city wall.
The rebels of King Ning, who were bombed and did not dare to stand on the city wall, were still in a daze at this time, and some of the generals who reacted saw the shelling stop and the amazing shouting and killing, they immediately understood that the imperial army began to attack the city!
