Chapter 151: I Have No Fighting Spirit, I Just Want to Escape!
Hearing this, the rest of the lieutenants also started their own careful thoughts.
The power of this red-clothed cannon has been seen by everyone, and it is comparable to the existence of the Great Grandmaster.
Such a treasure, everyone naturally wants to fight for one or two.
They are now already thinking about how they can get more new equipment when they go back.
An adjutant general said with regret.
"It's a pity that the fire gun has been improved!"
"Now the red-coated cannon alone is so terrifying!"
"I'm really looking forward to other new equipment!"
This remark made everyone look forward to the new equipment even more.
People are now hungry for more equipment.
Now the effect of this red-clothed cannon can no longer satisfy the ambitions in everyone's hearts.
With objects such as firearms, the battle becomes much easier.
On the side, Cheng Meng looked at the city wall not far away, turned around and walked to Bai Qi and asked.
"General, when will the city be attacked?"
Bai Qi did not rush to answer, and instead set his eyes on Yundong City.
His original plan was to consume a thousand cannons here.
He thought about it for a while, and the walls of Yundong City only needed three hundred cannonballs to plow down.
If the remaining 700 shells hit the city, at least half of the civilians in the entire Yundong City would be killed by the bombardment.
He commanded the army coldly, but he did not intend to slaughter civilians.
The general had also told him before that the purpose of going deep into the Dawu Dynasty this time was to sweep away his worries, not to become a mortal enemy of the Dawu Dynasty.
As soon as he gave the order to bombard civilians, the nature of the matter changed.
At that time, the attitude of the Dawu Dynasty towards the great generals will become mortal enemies, and they will never die.
Just when Bai Qi was thinking about the proportions, a scout came to report quickly.
"General Qiyu, reinforcements from the Dawu Dynasty are on the way!"
"I hope the general will decide!"
Hearing the news of the scout, Cheng Meng said anxiously.
"Let's go to the vanguard, we can break the city in an hour!"
Cheng Meng didn't just think about breaking the city at this time.
The more important thing is to dare to break the city before the arrival of reinforcements from the Dawu Dynasty, so as to reduce losses and ensure that the soldiers under his command will not fall into danger.
Just as he was about to ask for his life again, Bai Qi said coldly.
"All the red-coated cannons are mobilized, and they are bombarding the city wall with all their might!"
"The vanguard is ready to take the city!"
Bai Qi didn't plan to delay at this time, he wanted to mobilize all twenty red-coated cannons to the front line and fire with all his might.
On the one hand, it is to break the city as soon as possible.
On the one hand, it is to test what kind of situation is under the full bombardment of the red-coated cannons.
With Bai Qi's order, twenty red-clothed cannons opened fire with all their might.
Boom, boom, huge sounds came and went, resounding through the sky.
The city wall of the east gate of Yundong City had been completely lost at this time, and no one dared to set foot on the city wall.
Every time the red-coated cannon bombarded, it could tear open more than two feet of the city wall.
The aftermath of the explosion of rubble and gunpowder was more than a few feet high, and the fog could be seen from afar.
The fog raised by the wind and sand was not worth mentioning under the bombardment of the red-clothed cannons.
Any cannonball can blow a hole in the wall.
In Yundong City, Wang Luo ran to Liu Wu's side with a bloody face and asked with a panicked expression.
"General, general, what should we do!"
"This is God's curse, it's God's curse!"
Wang Luo cried as he spoke, he had never experienced such a miserable game.
I haven't seen the border army under Su Mo's command, my side has suffered heavy losses, and most of the city walls have been lost, and this battle can't be fought at all.
Without waiting for Liu Wu to reply, a scout also rushed over with a panicked expression.
"General, general, the west gate is lost, and most of the city walls are lost!"
"The Brethren Gate can't go up to the city wall at all!"
Hearing the news of the scout, Liu Wu felt a sense of powerlessness.
He didn't know about the existence of the redcoat cannon.
Now in the situation of Yundong City, the soldiers under his command can't even think of resisting.
A single shot can blow up a gap that is more than two feet long.
If the bombardment is among the defenders of the city, a loud bang will cause dozens of casualties to nearly 100 people.
He couldn't bear it at all, and no matter how many defenders in the city were, they couldn't withstand such attrition.
Since the red-coated cannons began to bombard the city wall, it is only the time of two incense sticks, and most of the city wall of the West Gate has been blown up.
Half of the east gate is still under emergency repair, and the south gate is completely lost.
No one can even stand on the walls, and the situation at the north gate is not yet known.
It's not much better.
Nearly 2,000 of his officers and men have been killed or wounded, which is extremely serious.
How can he defend such a big battle?
The Dawu Dynasty didn't even see the figure of the border army, but it had already lost more than 2,000 people, and the city walls were all lost.
Without natural danger, they are like fish on the board, allowing each other to manipulate them wantonly.
On the side, Wang Luo looked at Liu Wu's pessimistic expression, and his face was extremely anxious.
"General, what should we do!"
"To keep or to withdraw, you have to have an idea!"
Listening to Wang Luo's words, Liu Wu's heart suddenly ignited a raging fighting spirit.
Let him withdraw?
It's better to kill him directly.
At that moment, the soul of a soldier in his heart was completely awakened, and he turned around and said angrily.
"Kill!"
"Take the troops with me to the city gate to defend it, and never let anyone enter the city!"
As his voice fell, the scout hurriedly turned to gather the army.
The defenders in Yundong City also rushed to the city gate to defend it, and everyone went straight to the city gate with the determination to die.
On the other side, outside Yundong City, Cheng Meng looked at the defenders who appeared outside the city gate and suddenly became happy.
In his eyes, these people are all military exploits on the surface, and they are at the mercy of his vanguard army.
Worried that his military exploits would be robbed, he directly patted his horse and rushed to Bai Qi's side, and spoke anxiously.
"General, the enemy is out of the city!"
"Let's go to the vanguard!"
Looking at the defenders outside Yundong City, Bai Qi waved his hand, refused Cheng Meng's request for battle, and turned to the artillery commander beside him and said.
"Shoot at those defenders!"
"One city gate with 100 rounds, and after all the bombardment, the vanguard army charges!"
After speaking, he turned around and left, leaving only a few lieutenants in a daze.
Artillery fire at the defenders?
Isn't this a one-sided massacre?
A single blow from the red-clothed cannon is equivalent to a full blow from the Grand Master, who can stop it?
Those ordinary soldiers standing together were like live targets for the red-coated cannons, and they could only be slaughtered.
The deafening sound of artillery shelling resounded through Yundong City, and the defenders were bombarded into powder by shells, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the city walls were full of stumps and broken arms.
In Yundong City, Wang Luo rushed to Liu Wu with a desperate face, and he said with a miserable face.
"It's over, it's all over!"
"The Brethren Door died without even seeing anything!"
"General, withdraw!"
Even if he fought to this point, Wang Luo still hoped that Liu Wu would abandon Yundong City and retreat first for the sake of the remaining brothers.
In his heart, as long as the living force is preserved, there will be a chance to fight back, but Liu Wu doesn't think so.
Listening to the roar of the red-clothed cannon outside the city, the evil aura in Liu Wu's eyes became thicker and thicker.
Not only did he not plan to retreat now, but he planned to fight to the death with the border army under Su Mo's command.
He wants to live and die with Yundong City!
Having made up his mind, Liu Wu immediately turned around and said.
"Tell the brother to leave the gate first, wait for the enemy attack to end, and then go to defend the city!"
"Even if there is only one person left, we must not let the place set foot in Yundong City!"
Looking at his look of seeing death as home, Wang Luo had no choice but to turn around and leave, he had no fighting spirit in his heart at this time, he just wanted to escape!
