Ten thousand cannons fired in unison, the ground shook the mountains, and directly blew up the Annan army.

Regarding the horror of the Ming artillery, most of the soldiers and civilians in the city have only heard about it.

Those defeated soldiers who retreated from the front line, every time they mentioned the Ming army, their eyes were full of fear.

One has to wonder if they are deliberately exaggerating to make excuses for their escape.

However, tonight's explosion really happened around me, and as soon as the deafening roar sounded, I saw the flames splashing in all directions.

Smoke erupted, followed by rubble and shrapnel.

The artillery outside the city continued to whistle, and countless cannonballs came one after another, smashing on the city wall, and for a while, the entire Thanh Hoa City was shaking.

Finally, the three-zhang high city wall could not withstand the artillery fire and collapsed!

Before the defenders on the walls could react, they were buried in the rubble, and most of them died without a snort.

The crown prince Li Pin ordered someone to protect Li Sicheng and withdraw to the palace, but he stayed behind and commanded the defense.

The city wall collapsed, and the Ming army would rush in at any time, and a defensive line must be organized immediately.

Even if it is flesh and blood, to slow down the pace of the Ming army's advance.

Judging from the current situation, if you simply compete in firepower, you will pull out all the artillery of Annan, and you will not be the opponent of the Ming army.

The only way to pin your hopes on street battles is to rely on home advantage and try your best to consume the Ming army.

The disadvantage of the Ming army is the number of people and supplies, and if you want to win, you can only rely on attrition.

This is Annan, no matter how powerful your people are, one less will die and one less shell will be fired.

And we have a steady stream of men and supplies, and we will consume you to death!

Li Bin was able to make such a decision in a short period of time, which can be regarded as very strategic, but he ignored one point.

This Ming army was able to drive straight in, not by the number of people, the amount of grain and grass, but by the cannons in their hands.

Although they are very capable of individual combat, they have no room to play at all.

As soon as the cannon goes off, the opponent collapses.

There was no need to rush at all, and there was not even an encounter.

As a result, the Ming army's position remained motionless, only the artillery continued to roar!

Bang!

Bang!

In a salvo, dozens of shells passed over the collapsed city wall and smashed into the city, exploding like a violent storm, and shrapnel flew like petals in all directions.

The poor Annan Army, the defensive line that had just been organized, was immediately bombarded to pieces.

Flesh and blood have become flesh and blood.

The explosion occurred under the soles of their feet, and before many people could react, they only felt that their eardrums were hit like never before, and their bodies were swept away by the air waves, accompanied by screams from their mouths......

Li Bin crawled out of a pile of dead bodies, but fortunately there were many people around him, and he was only slightly injured when he was able to block the shrapnel.

Others, however, were less lucky.

Some of them were hit by shrapnel, and their bodies were like sieves, all covered in blood.

In particular, some of them who had not yet lost their breath were lying on the ground and moaning, and their condition was unbearable.

Li Bin, who was still full of ambition just now, is now like ashes.

He had never seen such a powerful artillery, and as far as the eye could see, it was in ruins, and the entire Annan army was like a fly without a head, completely thrown into chaos.

The buildings of Annan are mainly wooden structures, and a large number of houses along the street began to burn.

In the stable, the horses were frightened, and they broke the railings and galloped through the streets.

"Help...... Help......"

Many were blown to the ground and squirmed desperately on the ground.

Even though they knew they were not going to live, they kept wailing, hoping that someone would save them.

Those who were lucky, who had only suffered minor injuries, are now limping around trying to escape.

In such an environment, if it is killed directly, in a sense, it is also a kind of luck.

Once shrapnel enters the body, it cannot be removed at all with the current medical conditions, and as long as there is residue, it will cause continuous harm to the wound, which is enough to torture people for a lifetime.

This man is basically useless, and will be in unbearable pain for the rest of his life, or he will die of purulent blood after a year or two.

However, this is just the beginning!

Soon, there was another roar from the Ming army's position.

Li Bin looked at everything in front of him blankly, he grabbed a knife like crazy, and shouted: "Follow me out of the city and kill the Ming army!" ”

It's a pity that his words were muffled by the rumbling of cannons.

There was already chaos in the city, and no one paid any attention to him.

Dozens of flowering shells flew into the city again, and this time, the other party obviously adjusted its bearing, and the position of the fire was no longer limited to the vicinity of the city gate, but the buildings in the city.

Immediately afterward, there was another wave of shaking.

Bang...... Thundered......

The smoke and smoke from the fires enveloped the entire city gates.

Li Bin tried to gather people and horses, trying to go out of the city to fight back, but there was no one to be seen.

And the loud roar, and the screams in all directions, made it almost impossible for him to distinguish the sound.

Bang...... Thundered......

Li Bin's ears couldn't hear anymore, and he only vaguely saw a few figures around him, falling down one by one.

And at this moment, a piece of shrapnel flew in, snapped, and was deeply embedded in the bones of his hand.

He suddenly let out a scream, and the sharp pain spread all over his body, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground.

However, no one paid any attention to him.

Someone even passed by, but they rushed to knock him away.

At this time, it doesn't matter what prince or what emperor is.

Li Bin grinned, but finally endured the pain, stood up, and looked blankly at the billowing smoke and the crowd of people fleeing in all directions.

Then, he tried to find his way, and ran towards the palace like crazy.

"Father, Father......"

At this time, the palace was also in chaos, there was not even a guard at the door, Li Bin rushed all the way in, and saw a group of ministers surrounding Li Sicheng, all of whom looked like six gods and no owner.

"Father, the city is broken, let's go!"

At this time, the ministers of the palace were already in chaos, some advocated escaping, and some were not afraid of death, shouting to fight back, Li Sicheng witnessed the power of the Ming army's artillery, and still felt that his legs were trembling and he couldn't speak.

The Hanlin, who was the first to fight, saw Li Bin and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just right, I'll wait ...... it."

"Come on, prepare horses, open the north gate!"

Li Bin didn't have time to deal with him, stepped forward to pick up Li Sicheng, and prepared to escape from the city.

But Hanlin was stubborn, and rushed over to block the way.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, are you planning to give up the thousands of people in Qinghua City and live alone?"

"Get out of here!"

Li Bin pushed him away, then pulled Li Sicheng up and walked out.

In the palace, there were eunuchs and palace maids fleeing for their lives, and when they saw the emperor and the crown prince, they were still unmoved, and fled for their lives in a panic.

By Li Bin's side, there were finally some loyal guards, a total of more than a dozen people, who protected Li Sicheng and fled to the north gate.
