Chapter 157: Making Everything Change
"General, general, something is wrong!"
"The walls of Tianshui City are lost!"
"The Brethren have suffered heavy casualties!"
The lieutenant said as he wiped the blood from his face.
Tianshui City was full of dust at this time, and he ran all the way as if he had come out of the desert.
Looking at his miserable situation, Wang Tiancheng immediately said angrily.
"Quick, go and defend the walls!"
"No one should be allowed to step into the walls!"
As the words fell, the lieutenant general hurried out of the hinterland and rushed to the place where the city wall was.
At the same time as the deputy general was hurrying, a Lang Zhong named Zheng Wenhao was also running non-stop.
As a military doctor in the army, Zheng Wenhao was very busy at this time, and all parts of the city were wailing.
Just as Zheng Wenhao rushed to the city wall, a cannonball exploded next to him.
The loud roar made him stunned.
With the aftermath of the explosion dissipating, Zheng Wenhao fell to the ground.
Just as he was about to get up and rush to the city wall, the wails of the people were suddenly heard from the side.
"Help me, please help me!"
"Woo woo, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
Zheng Wenhao looked at the cry for help, and the whole person was stunned.
A soldier sat on the ground wailing with a broken arm in his arms.
Beside him was a corpse that had been reduced to flesh.
Zheng Wenhao staggered over, smeared the gold sore medicine in his arms on the soldier's broken arm, and hurriedly greeted.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll do it right away!"
As he spoke, he applied the gold sore medicine, and as the gold sore medicine of the person in front of him was smeared, Zheng Wenhao immediately cleaned up and left quickly.
Just as he was on his way to the city wall, Zheng Wenhao was frightened by the tragic situation in front of him.
This is not Tianshui City at all, this place should be called purgatory on earth.
Everywhere there were broken houses, confused people, and soldiers clutching their arms or thighs wailing.
After only walking through one street, Zheng Wenhao had already seen no less than twenty soldiers at this time.
More than a dozen of them were people whose arms had been blown off, and the rest were people whose thighs had been blown off.
During this period, Zheng Wenhao even saw a soldier who was blown to pieces next to him, and not even a corpse was left.
Everywhere there are scenes of soldiers holding stumps and broken arms begging for mercy, and there are ruins and broken walls everywhere in sight, and soldiers wailing.
Such a scene is no worse than purgatory on earth.
Zheng Wenhao looked at the scene not far away in confusion, and the scene in front of him was a tragic situation that he had never seen in his life.
The wailing expressions of those people, the smell of blood in the air.
The stumps and severed arms that can be seen everywhere are extremely miserable.
On the other side, outside Tianshui City, Bai got up and a deputy general next to him stepped forward quickly.
"General, how long will it take to bombard this time!"
The four gates of Yundong City were smashed before, but only 400 shells were used.
They prepared 3,000 pieces this time, and they were not afraid that they would not be able to open the walls of Tianshui City.
According to estimates, about 600 shells will blow up almost enough.
The adjutant general now came to inquire, just to get a positive news, and he went back to arrange the speed of artillery bombardment under his command.
The narrator said calmly.
"Three thousand!"
Hearing this number, the deputy general was stunned for a moment, and before he could react for a while, he subconsciously asked again.
"Three, three thousand, all of them?"
At this point, he thought he had misheard.
With all the 3,000 shells blazing, how many people are left in Water City on this day?
Six hundred cannonballs can blow up all the city walls, and the remaining more than 2,000 cannonballs cannonballs will not directly bombard the civilians of Tianshui City?
He knew the power of the red-clad cannon all too well.
If a single shell hits a crowd accurately, it can easily take the lives of hundreds of people.
More than 2,000 shells smashed into Tianshui City, and there were not many left who could breathe.
Looking at his puzzled expression, Bai Qi said indifferently.
"Tianshui City is full of defenders of the Dawu Dynasty, and there are few civilians!"
"According to scout information, this city was transformed into a military center by the Dawu Dynasty, and it is the third largest military town on the border!"
"Inform the shelling team, don't show mercy, cover bombing in all directions!"
His order was taught by Su Mo.
The all-round covering bombardment means that every corner of Tianshui City must have traces of red-coated artillery bombardment.
This method of warfare is devastating.
According to Su Mo, if you are poor, you will strike accurately, and if you are rich, you will be covered by firepower.
Under such a scale of bombing, the casualties of the border soldiers can be reduced to a minimum.
Bai Qi agrees with this statement.
The redcoat cannon wastes nothing more than gold and silver, which can be earned back as long as you continue to trade.
It can train a border soldier, but it takes a lot of time and combat experience.
The preciousness of the two cannot be compared.
Therefore, when Su Mo proposed to cover Tianshui City with firepower, Bai Qi did not object, but supported it.
If he could directly smash Tianshui City, he would rather use the red-clothed cannon to solve the battle all the time!
On the side, Bai Yi's heart was extremely itchy when he heard this, he rubbed his hands, looked at Bai Qi expectantly, and wondered.
"General, the last general wants to go and fire a few cannons!"
"This red-clothed cannon is very powerful, and the last general has never seen it!"
Looking at Bai Qi's calm expression, Bai Yi was quite apprehensive in his heart.
As the lieutenant general of the Bloody Iron Horse, he is a loyal follower of Bai Qi.
Now with the army to conquer the Dawu Dynasty, he originally wanted to be the vanguard and take the lead in attacking the city.
However, now everyone can only watch the red-clothed cannon attack the city.
This made him quite uncomfortable, who had always been belligerent.
Listening to the bombardment of the red-clothed cannon, he had long wanted to try it in his heart.
Previously, when he was in Yundong City, Bai Qi ordered that civilians should not be injured by mistake, and the red-coated cannon could only be controlled by specialized gunners.
Now that Bai Qi has said that it covers all aspects, there is no requirement for accuracy.
Naturally, everyone could take the opportunity to try the power of the red-coated cannon.
Bai Qi swept over the group of lieutenant generals, and looking at everyone's expectant expressions, he nodded.
Anyway, it's all covered by firepower, so it's not a big deal for them to get over it, as long as the shells fall in Tianshui City.
When Bai Yi and the others saw him agree, they were all overjoyed and rushed to the red-clothed artillery position.
They picked a random one, and asked the gunner to teach everyone how to fire the gun, and then go straight to it.
Load the shell, ignite, fire!
Bang!
A loud roar came from not far away.
Everyone looked at the smashed houses, and their hearts were shocked, the power of the red-coated cannon was really extraordinary!
Not far away, Chen Wu and the others looked at this scene in a daze, they never thought that they could be like this in a war.
There are 200,000 troops in Tianshui City.
If it was according to the previous one, everyone should besiege the city, cut off the water source, trade routes and other materials into Tianshui City.
Then send a large army to dissipate the momentum of the defenders.
Wait until the other party is getting tired before sending a large army to attack the city, and then it is very simple to exchange life for life.
Siege is the most costly tactic of a large army.
Except for those defenders who surrendered, every time they took a city, they had to fill it with the blood of the defenders and siege soldiers.
But now the appearance of this red-coated cannon has changed everything.
Every time the red-coated artillery shells, it can easily take away dozens or even hundreds of people.
