Chapter 390

Three days later, on a sunny evening, a fleet of twenty warships departed. On the morning of the same day, Wang Li personally led an army of 50,000 to advance in the direction of Nanhai City.

This time, the fleet was personally commanded by Xu Ming, Xu Ming's mission, and the battalion was guarded by Xu Ming's lieutenant.

Xu Ming stood on the splint, looked at the disappearing sun, and said to Wei Yun on the side: "We will dive into the estuary tonight, and then wait at the estuary for a night, and when the sun rises tomorrow, it will be up to you." ”

Wei Yun was holding a notebook, and he didn't know what he was remembering. After hearing Xu Ming's words, Wei Yun closed his notebook and said, "General Xu, don't worry, we will never make a mistake, the amount of shells brought this time is enough for all the artillery to fire thirty times." ”

Xu Ming asked, "As long as there are enough shells for these artillery, can they be fired all the time?" ”

"Of course not." Wei Yun said: "After the shell is fired, the barrel will heat up, and if you don't pour water on it in time after firing ten times, the barrel may explode, and the people around you will also suffer." ”

"I see, I thought these cannons kept firing, it seems that I was too naïve, but this power is enough." Xu Ming said.

"It's dark." As Xu Ming spoke, the speed of all the warships slowed down, and then they had to wait for the moon to come out, and then rely on the moon to sail, otherwise it would be very dangerous in the offshore sea, and if they were not careful, they would hit the dark rocks on the bottom of the sea, and once they collided, the warships would basically be destroyed.

The helmsmen of the twenty warships this time are all veterans of the navy, and some have even really sailed on this sea, and under their delicate operation, the twenty warships safely entered the estuary, standing on the deck, and even could see the lights of Nanhai City from a distance.

In fact, the moonlight tonight is very bright, as long as you look closely, you can find that the twenty warships under the moonlight The South Vietnamese people did not think that there would be enemies on the sea, and even the city walls and ports on this side did not deploy too many defenders, and even if there were defenders, they retracted one by one, and no one came out to patrol at all.

In the cabin, Xu Ming and Wei Yun were studying the map of Nanhai City, which was sent by the secret guard two days ago, although it did not clearly mark the deployment of the army in Nanhai City, but at least everyone could understand the appearance of Nanhai City in advance.

After seeing the map, the location of the Nanyue Royal Palace, which surprised everyone, was actually by the river, and the artillery could just hit the palace.

Wei Yun drew a circle on the map with his finger, and that location was the location of the Nanyue Palace. Wei Yun said: "I plan to send a round of artillery to the royal palace in South Vietnam with six warships early tomorrow morning, and the rest of the warships will focus on attacking the enemy's ports. ”

"You can arrange this, but when the time comes, I will arrange the distance between the warships to be larger, so that it is convenient to jump, so that when the artillery on one side needs to be watered, the other side can turn around and continue firing." Xu Ming said.

"Okay, but it's so dark at night, how can you give orders?" Wei Yun asked.

Xu Ming smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, we have our own methods in the water army." ”

Time passed little by little, and a little white appeared on the sea level, and then in the dim vision, the face of Nanhai City could be seen clearly, and at this time, many people were still lying in bed.

The warships in the river were already lined up outside Nanhai City, and the wooden boxes with shells were in the center of the plywood, and the gunners were already preparing next to the cannons, and they even had time to adjust the angles.

"Boom!"

With the sound of cannons, more than seventy cannons on the warship roared at the same time.

The soldiers of the harbor and some of the people in the royal palace were sleeping soundly when they were awakened by the sound of the cannonballs, only to be completely drowned out by the explosion of the shells the next moment.

"Boom, boom, boom······"

With the continuous roar of the cannons, the port of Nanhai City and the palace of Nanhai City were suddenly drowned in the explosion and fire, and even the screams could not be heard, and even if there were, they were completely covered by the sound of artillery fire.

After firing ten times in a row, the artillery fire stopped temporarily, and it was only when the South Vietnamese soldiers discovered that a dozen warships in the river were turning around, and all of them were flying Qin's flag.

"Qin Jun! It's Qin Jun! The soldiers were immediately frightened, and one by one they fled frantically inside.

Wei Yun saw that the ships on the dock had been almost destroyed, so he immediately ordered all the guns to attack the dock to turn to the walls of Nanhai City.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom!······"

Another round of artillery fire, under the powerful artillery, the already imsolid city wall of Nanhai City collapsed, and the smoke and dust picked up were dozens of zhang.

Wei Yun waved the chess pieces in his hand, and suddenly all the artillery stopped, and the river suddenly fell silent.

After Xu Ming, who had been standing next to Wei Yun, saw this scene on the shore, the shock in his heart was difficult to calm down for a long time, it turned out that destroying a city could be so simple, and even without spending a single soldier.

Wei Yun turned his head to Xu Ming and said, "The smoke and dust in my heart is too big, and shooting blindly will only waste artillery, let's talk about it when the smoke and dust disperse." ”

"Huh? Okay, you can arrange this matter yourself, I don't understand. Xu Ming said.

At the same time, Wang Li, who was lurking outside the South China Sea City, was also startled by the sound of the cannon, and when he saw the smoke and dust that rushed into the sky, if he didn't know what was going on, he thought that something natural disaster had happened.

"All on alert! Get ready for the siege! As soon as the king gave the order, the 40,000 troops hiding in the jungle still moved.

When Wang Li saw the soldiers on the head of the city rushing down the city in a hurry with his binoculars, Wang Li shouted: "Siege!" ”

The shield soldiers immediately formed a phalanx and rushed towards the city tower, and after the only remaining soldiers on the city tower found out, they hurriedly lit the wolf smoke, and then fired arrows at the shield soldiers below to prevent the Qin army from approaching the city gate!

"There is a Qin army on the river! Why is there also a Qin army here! Can anyone tell me how Qin Jun came here! "The king of Nanyue fled from the palace that had become a ruin to the gate of the city, but he did not expect that the Qin army appeared outside the city, and his retreat was blocked at once.

And outside the city, after the Qin army approached the city wall, they retreated after putting a few packs under the city wall and under the city gate, leaving a long line, and I don't know what it was for.

In the bewilderment of the defenders at the head of the city, the Qin army immediately lit the fuse after retreating to a safe distance, and then the puffs of smoke quickly approached the city wall.

"What's that?"

"Boom! Rumble! Boom!·····"

The answer to the South Vietnamese generals was a huge explosion, and the city gate was blown open in an instant, and several sections of the city wall that had not been repaired were blown down.

"Kill!" Wang Li rode on a war horse, waved the sword in his hand, and the 40,000 army rushed towards the Hainan City full of gunpowder smoke with a shout.
