Chapter 386: What Fear I Have! [3 more]
It's a pity that Jiangnan is thousands of miles away from Jingshi, and there are such and such drawbacks in those gunpowders that have been made with great difficulty, and it is not easy for Chu Yi to smoothly transfer so many firearms.
Unless Chu Yi can wait for a few more months, but Chu Yi can wait, and the court can't wait.
For a rebellion as powerful as King Ning's, the longer the rebellion is quelled, the more turmoil it will cause to the country.
Chu Yi's purpose was just to use King Ning's rebellion to cleanse the solidified gentry and elite class in Jiangnan, rather than really to completely destroy the entire Jiangnan.
Especially when there were still Tatars in the north, Chu Yi changed his original mind and decided to fight a quick battle and pacify King Ning as soon as possible, even if it was to pay a little price for this, it was not unacceptable.
On the city wall, watching the guards under his command directly extinguish the imperial army attacking the city wall, King Ning was extremely excited.
Just when he was excited, suddenly there was a roar from the city, and suddenly King Ning's expression changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "Quick, quickly order the Praetorian Guards to go down and hide." ”
The power of that artillery King Ning has seen, no matter how powerful the Praetorian Guards under his command are, in the final analysis, they are mortal in the flesh, and if a random cannonball falls in the crowd, I am afraid that it will cause many injuries.
After seeing the power of the Praetorian Guard, King Ning simply treated the Praetorian Guard as if he was the meat of his heart, and did not allow the Praetorian Guard to be damaged at all.
Soon the Janissaries descended the walls to avoid artillery bombardment.
King Ning stood in an open place, looking at the smoke of gunpowder on the city wall from afar, listening to the roaring artillery, only to hear King Ning say with a bit of pride: "The eunuch is angry, he has no way, if there is a way to break the city, he will not vent his anger with artillery bombardment of the city after seeing the strength of my Praetorian Guard." ”
Including Liu Yangzheng, Li Shishi and several other confidants, the ministers of civil and military affairs also had a little joy on their faces.
Previously, they were really suppressed by Chu Yi's momentum, especially when they saw that the imperial army attacked the city wall so easily, and saw that Nanjing City was likely to be destroyed, but the Praetorian Guard, which was not taken to heart by them on weekdays, unexpectedly made such a feat.
It was the Praetorian Guards who easily killed the more than a dozen imperial soldiers and horses that attacked the city wall, giving the army under the command of King Ning the backbone, and reassuring the originally panicked rebels a little and seeing the hope of holding Nanjing City.
It can be said that as long as the Praetorian Guards successfully kill a group of imperial court soldiers and horses, the custody can make the rebels morale greater, which is enough to offset the psychological shadow that Chu Yi brought to the rebel soldiers before.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, the eunuch is poor!"
Liu Yangzheng and others all had a look of joy on their faces, as the diehard loyalists of King Ning, they naturally hoped that Nanjing City could be as stable as Mount Tai, and now they were very happy to see the hope of defending the city.
King Ning stroked his beard and laughed.
When he looked at Li Zhenshan, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, he softened more and more, patted Li Zhenshan's shoulder with his big hand and said, "I have a general, but I can sit back and relax!" ”
Li Zhenshan said with a straight face: "The last general will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations!" ”
King Ning nodded with a satisfied look on his face and said, "Spread my will, three thousand guards, and each person will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver!" ”
This time the shelling lasted longer than before, but the more this was the case, the more it made King Ning and the others think that Chu Yi was really running out of skills, and there was no other way but to rely on the bombardment of Nanjing City to vent the anger in their hearts.
Anyway, Nanjing City was tall enough, and it was impossible to collapse Nanjing City with artillery alone, so they didn't take it to heart.
"Tsk, I really want to see Chu Yi's angry and corrupt appearance!"
One of the generals said with a smile on his face.
"Hahaha, Chu Yi's eunuch must be angry at this moment!"
Not long after, the sound of artillery stopped, and King Ning and the others naturally turned their eyes to the city wall, and under the supervision of a group of generals, the soldiers who were originally bombarded lying there and did not dare to move climbed up one by one, and walked towards the city wall filled with gunsmoke.
Below, a black oppressive imperial army attacked the city again.
Han Bao had more than a dozen heavy thunderbolts hanging on his body, a huge shield in his hand, and quickly climbed up the ladder, but in a blink of an eye, he turned over the city wall and slashed a rebel soldier away.
The first thing Han Bao looked for when he climbed the city wall was the strong crossbow team of the Praetorian Guard.
If there is a strong crossbow team, he naturally has to be very careful, otherwise even he will not be able to bear it if a rain of arrows falls.
Fortunately, the siege had just begun, and there was no place on the city wall to be lost, and the Praetorian Guards, who had been transferred away from the artillery bombardment, had not even climbed the city wall at this time.
Not finding any trace of those Praetorian Guards, Han Bao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time frantically slashed the rebel soldiers around him, firmly guarding the gap, and escorting a famous soldier to the city wall.
These soldiers who climbed the city wall were not like Han Bao who came up with a dozen thunderbolts, and one or two people only carried them.
But even so, when a dozen soldiers climbed the city wall, they were brought nearly thirty thunderbolts.
These thunderbolts were placed in the corner and guarded by Han Bao himself, and it can be said that no rebel could get past Han Bao and touch those thunderbolts.
Naturally, the city wall that is several miles long cannot be lost in only one place, and soon under the leadership of more than a dozen brave court generals, more than a dozen sections of the city wall were captured again, but this time these generals and soldiers who occupied the city wall had a characteristic, that is, they all brought dozens of thunderbolts up.
Although it is said that nearly a hundred thunderbolts were damaged, after all, many of the soldiers who carried the thunderbolts were shot by the rebels before they climbed the city wall, but even so, the number of thunderbolts brought to the city wall was quite amazing.
In the distance, a general said to King Ning in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the imperial army has attacked the city wall, and more than a dozen city walls have been lost......
If it was before, hearing the news of the loss of more than a dozen city walls, King Ning was afraid that he would be frightened, but at this moment, King Ning was as steady as Mount Tai, stroked his beard and chuckled: "What a panic, isn't it just that you lost a few sections of the city wall?" When the Praetorian Guards are recaptured. ”
While speaking, King Ning's eyes fell on Li Zhenshan's body and said, "General Li, it's hard work!" ”
Li Zhenshan immediately said: "Your Majesty, although rest assured, the last general will lead the army to recapture the city wall and kill the imperial court soldiers and horses." ”
King Ning laughed and said, "I'm waiting for the general's good news!" ”
Li Zhenshan shouted: "Praetorian Guard, where is the strong crossbow team!" ”
"In!"
Hundreds of soldiers shouted in unison, and the momentum was extremely amazing.
"Go with General Ben and kill the enemy!"
Suddenly, hundreds of elite Praetorian Guards quickly climbed the city wall along the steps, and King Ning, Liu Yangzheng and others also opened their eyes one by one, watching the Praetorian Guards rushing towards a section of the city wall with anticipation.
At that section of the city wall, almost dozens of court soldiers occupied a space, resisting the siege of the rebels.
Han Bao's eyes narrowed, and a glint flashed in his eyes, it can be said that when those Praetorian Guards appeared on the city wall, Han Bao saw the traces of those Praetorian Guards.
Just seeing those Praetorian Guards coming towards them quickly, Han Baoqiang endured the excitement in his heart, took a deep breath, lowered his voice and shouted to the dozen or so burly soldiers with amazing arm strength around him: "Everyone listen to my orders, and thunder the sky!" ”
Suddenly, under the cover of other soldiers, more than a dozen soldiers each held a thunderbolt in their hands, and at the same time took out the fire fold.
Zizi!
The fuse was lit and there was a sizzling sound.
At this time, King Ning's Praetorian Guards had already killed more than a dozen zhang away, and stopped more than a dozen zhang away, aiming the crossbow in their hands at Han Bao and the others.
"Boom me!"
The next moment, with Han Bao's angry shout, he saw more than a dozen round thunderbolts being thrown towards those Praetorian Guards.
Li Zhenshan couldn't help frowning when he saw the iron ball flying in the air, and said suspiciously: "Boom thunder? ”
If it was really a thunderstorm, Li Zhenshan really didn't worry too much, even if it fell and exploded, it could hurt more than a dozen people at most.
Even if they are lucky, they may not be able to get a few people injured, after all, the armor on their bodies also has enough defensive power, and it is really not good.
However, with a roar, in the smoke of gunpowder, the screams were completely suppressed by the sound of explosions.
More than a dozen thunderbolts fell, among which the broken iron flew wildly, and there were actually only a few people who were killed on the spot, but the iron pieces that were shot everywhere were amazingly lethal.
In the blink of an eye, at least dozens of people fell to the ground, some completely out of breath, others with terrible howls in their mouths.
Li Zhenshan was stunned, and his face was full of horror as he looked at the Praetorian Guard crossbow team that he had finally trained.
These strong crossbowmen are the best of the best, and they are extremely outstanding trained by Li Zhenshan, and these guards live up to their expectations, they are very amazing as soon as they make a move, and they are deeply loved by King Ning.
But at this moment, seeing these strong crossbowmen falling in a pool of blood, Li Zhenshan had a feeling as if he was in a dream.
Although Han Bao had already seen the power of the Thunderbolt, he couldn't help but marvel at the miserable appearance of the Janissaries who were screaming at this moment being blown up by the Thunderbolt.
As for the other soldiers who threw the thunder with him, they were dumbfounded, they didn't see the power of the thunder like Han Bao, so they were suddenly suppressed by the destructive power caused by the thunder.
"Ah, ah, shoot, shoot them to General Ben!"
reacted, Li Zhenshan let out a terrible roar.
