Chapter 356: Air Cannon

The dreaming, dazed prisoners all woke up, looking left and right for the source of the loud noise.

Then, the earth-shattering sound was heard again, and now everyone heard it clearly.

"It's a cannon." Wang Ximing shook his head, "It's the sound of cannons!" Reinforcements are coming! It's reinforcements! ”

They had stayed for so long when there was a war in Nanjing, and they knew too well what the sound of the artillery was like, and for a time a group of people went crazy.

The soldiers guarding the captives were summoned in a hurry, and everywhere there was the sound of clanging footsteps, accompanied by the sound of human shouting, mixed together, and indistinctly audible, and everywhere there was a commotion.

The cannon rang out several more times, and the night was so dark that torches were indeed lit on the top of the city, but it was impossible to see the people below.

Hongyi's range is long, within this range, unless it is a natural eagle eye, no one can see how many people are coming underneath, and even the handsome flag floating in the air can't really be seen.

Gong Laoba stood at the head of the city, holding a torch, and scolded his mother downward. Who is this obedient man?

Lao Jiang straightened the armor on his body while running, and ran over with his boots on his feet: "Don't think about it, it must be the Daheng Imperial Court that has sent someone to help Nanjing again." ”

"I know." Gong Laoba held on to the haystack at the head of the city, held a piece of hay in his mouth, and chewed vigorously, "I just can't see who it is, or the Sichuan army?" ”

Lao Jiang frowned: "Not like that." The Sichuan army suffered a loss at our hands last time, and according to their urine, they should shrink into Shu at this time, and they won't hit the door so loudly. ”

"Then there will only be the Northwest Army." Lao Jiang took a sip and snorted the grass roots in his mouth, "Damn, it's up to them to figure out the cavalry when they are transferred to fight siege warfare." Isn't it just that the cannon used is better than ours? What's the big deal, Lao Tzu guards the city of Nanjing, who are you afraid of? ”

Because some foreigners have been harassing on the border, the army in the north of Daheng is always better equipped than that in the south, including artillery, and the weight is not of the same level.

But such a large size, although it gave the heavy guns great power, made it difficult for them to move - even if they were mounted on gun carriages.

At this time, under the city of Nanjing, there was only one Hongyi heavy artillery that could really be called a "general cannon".

Yu Pu stood on the chariot and watched the heavy artillery in front of him sound again, and if you look closely, you can find that no one has stuffed shells into it at all.

It turned out to be an empty cannon!

"Fiction is real, reality is virtual, fiction and reality are born together, this is the sophistry of soldiers." Yu Pu squinted his eyes in the dark night, the torches on the head of Nanjing City were too bright, and he could clearly see the people running above, "Gu Cheng, study hard." ”

Gu Cheng nodded: "Lord Wang, this time I will release the empty cannon, and the next time I will reload the ammunition, there is no fixed number, is it to confuse the enemy and make them unable to find our routine."

Yu Pu nodded, and then suddenly smiled: "Actually, I'm afraid of waste." ”

Gu Cheng glanced at Yu Pu with slanted eyes, and the corners of his mouth deflated.

"It is absolutely impossible to enter the city of Nanjing this time, mainly to say hello to our opponents and the people in the city." Yu Pu looked at Gu Cheng's expression and felt even more funny, "Of course it's good to be able to kill a few people, if you can't kill it, you won't suffer, this battle is still long, don't waste ammunition at this time." ”

Gu Cheng scratched his head, as if he was used to speaking to his lord.

"Alright." Yu Pu raised his head at the head of Nanjing, "Rub the fire oil and release the arrows." Let them see our flags. ”

Gu Cheng immediately acted as Yu Pu's herald, tore out his throat and shouted: "Rub the fire oil!" Shoot the arrows! ”

The moment his words fell, a large number of arrows had already caught fire and flew out, like meteors, and the sky on Yu Pu's side was instantly illuminated.

And the flag in front of the battle was hunting in the wind, and there was a big word on it, which was "Yu".

"It's the Northwest Army!" The soldiers in the city shouted, "Sure enough, it's the Northwest Army!" The Yu army in the northwest is here! ”

This shout continued, like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and people everywhere were shouting such words.

"It's the Northwest Army." Wang Ximing's eyes lit up, "It's the Northwest Army of King Pingshuo!" Listening to this cannon sound, the movement is different! ”

Jing Yang barely sat upright, and the wounds on his body were still painful, but he didn't scream a word of pain with a tense face.

Zhu Chen continued to babble and say frustrating words: "What's the use of the Northwest Army, the Northwest Army is all cavalry, how can there be cavalry to attack the city." ”

"If you want to get out today, shut up." Jingyang should be gritting his teeth and his cheeks bulging, "The Northwest Army has the best artillery in Daheng, and it is better than the Sichuan Army." ”

After all, they are still students, and they only know that the Northwest Army is strong and strong, and the firearms are all first-class in Daheng, but they don't know the saying "three birds in the north and three birds in the south". A large part of the legend of the invincibility of the Northwest cavalry comes from the three-eyed eyes of the cavalry.

But the accuracy of the three-eyed god has dropped a lot in the south.

Even in a place like Nanjing, it is still too humid for Jiayuguan, and the utilization rate of the three-eyed god gun is far less than that of the bird.

But where did the scholars know this, just the news that the Northwest Army came could already make them very excited.

Wang Ximing glanced outside, and the soldiers guarding the prisoner camp had already gone to the city, and there was no one to be seen.

He hurriedly said to Jingyang and Zhu Chen: "Quick, move inside!" "The three of them are tied together, and if one person moves, all three of them have to move together.

Zhu Chen was inexplicable: "What is this going to do?" ”

Wang Ximing himself had already started to move in first, and said: "When I loosened the tie and ate a few days ago, I made a bowl. I just told people that I had been tied up for too long, and my hands were numb and I couldn't hold it. ”

Jing Yang and Zhu Chen both knew about this matter, Wang Ximing was beaten up because of this incident at that time, and the swelling on his face has not disappeared today.

Jingyang's new injuries also came from this, he scolded the soldier for Wang Ximing a few words, and he ended up with such a fate.

"I've hidden a piece of porcelain, and it's inside, and I'll see it by moving it in." Wang Ximing moved his body in.

Jingyang immediately responded, and Zhu Chen, who was half a beat slower to react, was directly taken away.
