Chapter 206: How vulnerable
The walls were hectic, but orderly.
The artillery was lined up one after another, and the falling wooden frames, fire oil, catapults, and crossbow machines were neatly arranged, and the soldiers and civilians were waiting for them.
The Nanyi army was noisy outside the city.
Claimed to be 200,000 soldiers and horses, from the city wall, it is indeed overwhelming and overwhelming. Their horses kicked up dust, and their armies were mighty.
Li Zhang inspected the defense with a calm face, and when he looked down and looked up, he was angry when he saw the Nanyi army. A few years ago, I had been listening to the good news of the Southern Army, saying how vulnerable Nanyi was, and saying that there were less than 50,000 soldiers in Nanyi who could fight, so there was no need to worry. In just over half a year, did the remaining 150,000 soldiers and horses come out of the soil?
After this matter is over, the commander of the Southern Army must be held accountable!
Seeing that the opponent's military formation had entered the range of artillery, Li Zhang signaled that the artillery battalion could ignite the artillery.
There were several loud bangs, and the artillery flew into the sky and took off into the enemy's formation. Li Zhang's heavy eyes were colored, but he was suddenly stunned.
Cannon, dumb.
The cannon that flew into the military formation did not explode, at most it only smashed and suppressed a few soldiers who were slow and too late to dodge, and did not play a much deterrent role.
There was a commotion among the Nanyi army, and they were stunned when they found that the dozen or so artillery pieces projected in the past were all squibs, and then they laughed loudly. Many of them laughed and leaned back and hugged their stomachs, until the general strictly ordered the team to regroup, and then quieted down.
"What's going on?"
"Why are you dumb?"
There was a commotion in the artillery battalion on Dahong's side, and then the battalion commander calmed down: "Put it again!" ”
This time, be sure to let those who laugh the hardest die in Huangquan.
"Knock knock", the cannonball flew down the city wall with the expectation of the Daihiro army.
Still dumb.
This time, the laughter of the Nanyi army rushed into the capital, and even the palace could hear it.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Then he got up from the bed and tore off the cloth on his forehead: "What happened to this palace?" Are you all dead, why no one answers. ”
"Yu Niangniang," the chamberlain hurriedly knelt down, "I have already sent someone to the city wall to inquire, and I will be back in a moment." The mother has a headache, so let's rest. ”
"How can this palace rest!" Then he pounded the hanging flower platform heavily: "Today should be a day of great joy, why is there going to be a fight!" This is to anger Hongu! ”
The people below didn't dare to respond, and let her scream for a long time. Finally, the messenger returned.
"Yu Niangniang," the chamberlain knelt on the ground and lowered his head, "It's the Nanyi Army who is laughing, and the reason is that our cannon is dumb." ”
"Dumb?" Then there was some disbelief: "It is not uncommon for a few squibs to come out of the artillery battalion. ”
The inner servant trembled, and finally felt that it was better not to hide it: "It's not a few, it's that all the cannons are dumb." The regent sent the artillery battalion to inspect it, and found that all the guns had been fused and were now like stones. ”
"What?" Then he sat down, his face covered with a layer of black ink.
In the tent of the Nanyi army, Sima Shuoyue, the commander of the Nanyi army and the second prince of Nanyi, couldn't help but laugh when he heard the laughter outside.
"It's really hard for my brother to endure humiliation and lie dormant for several years. If it weren't for the elder brother, not to mention this artillery, even the gate of the capital, we wouldn't be able to see it. ”
A young man in black was standing in front of the tent and quietly looking at the military horses outside, and his expression was unmoved.
If the regent Li Zhang was here, he would find that Zhang Shuo, his staff member for several years, was standing extremely straight at this time.
Because Sima Shuori, the eldest prince of Nanyi, behaves well, which is what Mr. Royal has taught since he was four years old.
