Chapter 228: Go and hang the white flag
Fu Youde raised his head to stop him, and then said to Li Wei: "But you only need to shell one mile, don't rush forward, and leave the siege to other soldiers!" ”
With the attack methods of the defenders of Puding City, the distance of one mile is enough to ensure absolute safety, as long as Li Wei does not rush forward by himself, his life will be safe.
Mu Ying also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard his arrangement.
However, Li Wei was unhappy: "What is this called?" What do you mean I can't rush forward and let others rush? My life is my life, but the lives of other soldiers are not my life? ”
Li Wei said this, and the soldiers present were in awe of him!
Even if they had always looked down on many of his generals before, they couldn't help but have a great change in their opinion of him when they heard this, even Hu Hai was no exception.
Fu Youde was also slightly suspicious in his heart, and he was very satisfied that he could say this, but satisfaction is satisfaction, and His Majesty's explanation must still be completed.
Just as the generals were respectful, and Fu Youde and Mu Ying were about to open their mouths to persuade, Li Wei immediately followed up with righteous words:
"Let Hu Hai go!"
Hu Hai: "? ”
What do you mean? Your life and that of other soldiers are fate, but my life is not my fate?
Fu Youde and all the soldiers were also stunned, and they didn't react for a while.
The tent was quiet for a long time, and Fu Youde finally swallowed the words he was going to persuade and said, "It's okay, after your shelling, Hu Dudu will still be in charge of attacking the city!" ”
The corners of Hu Hai's mouth twitched, although he was very dissatisfied with this unfair arrangement, but the siege was originally invited by him, and he had to fight with or without Li Wei.
"The last general obeys!"
Fu Youde bowed his head slightly, and then agreed with them on the layout of tomorrow's formation, and decided on the siege strategy.
After finishing the discussion, Li Wei hurriedly returned to the Shenji Camp station, and instructed Wu Yong with a happy face:
"Wu Yong, go and call Sun Lei to me!"
"Yes!" Wu Yong took the order and left.
Li Wei looked excited, pacing back and forth.
Damn, I've been holding it for six or seven days, and finally let Lao Tzu play, Lao Tzu's Italian cannon is already hungry and thirsty!
In fact, not only did Sun Lei want to bomb his mother, but he also wanted to try how his new artillery performed on the battlefield.
Although the previous flying thunder cannon was hugely powerful, its range was relatively short, and at a distance of more than 100 meters, the enemy's bow and arrow could shoot over.
There is a more important point, the flying thunder cannon cannot be fired continuously, and after a shot, it will enter the time of the sage, if you have to fire continuously, I am afraid that you will hurt yourself.
He attaches great importance to the lives of soldiers, and naturally does not want soldiers to risk their lives to use this thing for succession.
But the Shenji Cannon and the Shenwei Cannon are different, as long as they are operated properly, they are still very safe, and the firing range is long and the rate of fire is fast, hundreds of guns swing to that side, ensuring that the artillery fire is continuous and enduring!
In the era of firearms, as long as the firepower is fierce enough, these enemies armed with cold weapons will not even have a chance to fight back!
A moment later, Wu Yong brought Sun Lei over.
"Meet your lord!" Sun Lei said in a loud voice.
Li Wei suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said in a flat voice: "The general ordered us to bombard Puding City, go back and prepare to prepare, check all the artillery, and make no mistakes!" ”
Sun Lei was overjoyed when he heard this: "What? The general allowed us to bombard Puding? ”
Li Wei nodded lightly, and Sun Lei suddenly shouted excitedly: "Great!" Finally, it's our turn to speak up, and I've been holding it for six or seven days! ”
Seeing him like this, Li Wei immediately frowned, and said disdainfully: "Look at your unpromising appearance, don't you just shoot a cannon, as for being so excited?" ”
"Hehe, what the adults taught me is, then I'll go and prepare!" Sun Lei was still excited, and hurried to go back to prepare.
"Go, go, go."
Li Wei waved his hand casually, and Sun Lei hurriedly retreated.
The next day, the Ming army's formation changed greatly, the Shenji battalion changed from the flank to the front army, and Hu Hai's elite soldiers were lined up on the flank, ready to wait for him to launch an attack after the shelling.
On the other side, Mu Ying also led troops to stand aside just in case, acting as a nanny.
In the city, Daru Huachi, Xie Cheng and others also noticed the changes in the Ming army, and they were both shocked to see so many artillery pieces in the Shenji Battalion.
"My lord, why don't we descend?"
Xie Cheng trembled and persuaded, he didn't want to bury Daru Huachi, as for King Liang's reinforcements, it was all a common trick to deceive ordinary soldiers to improve morale, how could he not know.
Daru Huachi was also stunned at this time, although his lie had an effect and temporarily stabilized the army's heart, but a lie was a lie, and it couldn't last a few days.
The 200,000 troops of the Ming army were in front of him, and there were not many options left for him.
Daru Huachi looked at the Ming army in the distance and was silent, and his heart was no longer as firm as before.
In the Ming army's formation, Li Wei received an order, so he let the Shenji battalion advance to a position about a mile away from the city, lined up hundreds of artillery pieces, and aimed at Puding City.
At such a distance, he didn't need a telescope to see Xie Cheng and Daru Huachi wearing Beiyuan official uniforms on the tower of the city gate.
The two of them didn't know at this time that they were already within the range of the Shenji Battalion's artillery, and they were still looking at the Ming army's formation.
Seeing this, Li Wei immediately stopped hesitating, raised his hand and pointed to Sun Lei, "Did you see those two people on the city gate?" Aim all the artillery at me, and hit it hard! ”
"Don't worry, my lord, the last general will understand!"
Sun Lei replied loudly.
The gunners were in their positions, methodically loading and aiming.
After everyone was ready, Sun Lei immediately reported: "My lord, the gunner is ready!" ”
"Okay, fire!" Li Wei happily ordered.
When Sun Lei heard this, his face turned red with excitement, and he jumped to his feet and shouted, "Open the cannon!" ”
His loud voice rang out far and wide, and the squads at all levels immediately conveyed it after receiving the order.
Boom Boom!
Moments later, artillery roared, and hundreds of shells were set on fire at the city gatehouse.
Daru Huachi and Xie Cheng, who were still looking at the city, suddenly shrank in fright.
"What's the matter, what's the use of them firing guns so far away......"
Bang bang bang......
Just when Daru Huachi was still wondering, the cannonball had already hit the city wall, and for a while the rubble was splashing, Daru Huachi saw that a cannonball hit the battlements and directly knocked off a large part of the battlements, and his eyes suddenly widened in shock, and his face was full of disbelief.
"Impossible! They are a cannon fired a mile away, how can it be so powerful! ”
Daru Huachi even shouted impossible, but the facts are in front of you, this artillery bombardment is far more powerful than those artillery of the Ming army before, the previous shells hit the battlements is nothing more than knocking out some corners, but now this cannonball, up and down to kill a large piece, if this continues to bombard, it won't be long before their walls will become bald!
Without the protection of the battlements, most of the advantages of defending the city will be lost, how can they hold it!
Hundreds of shells kept falling, the defenders of the Northern Yuan couldn't dodge, and the unlucky ones were directly beaten to pieces, and the other reactions were faster, and the soldiers who were hiding behind the battlements were also pale when they saw the power of the shells, and the battlements in front of them could no longer bring them a sense of security.
"My lord, come down quickly!"
Xie Cheng was lying on the ground, his face covered in blood, and a flying brick and stone just now swept into his face, scraping off a piece of his face.
"Alright, let's go down!"
Daru Huachi hesitated for a moment, and agreed dejectedly.
In the face of such artillery fire, he couldn't even hold out for a few more days, what could he do if he didn't surrender.
When Xie Cheng heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and immediately shouted: "Go and hang the white flag!" ”
Boom Boom Boom ......
However, in response to him, there was another burst of artillery fire, and just as the two of them had said a few words, the second round of shelling of the Shenji Battalion had arrived.
At this moment, even Daru Huachi collapsed to the ground.
"Impossible...... It couldn't be ......."
Because Li Wei ordered the two of them to be set on fire, after the second round of shelling, many battlements within a radius of about 30 meters near them had been knocked down, and the city towers were also crumbling under the shelling.
Boom Boom Boom ......
Bang bang bang......
After three rounds of shelling, the sound of artillery finally stopped for a moment.
Xie Cheng lay on the ground, looked at Daru Huachi, who had turned into a mess of minced meat, and was so frightened: "Hurry up and hang the white flags!" ”
After speaking, he suddenly heard movement above his head, looked up, and saw that the city gate tower was overwhelmed and slowly fell......
