Chapter 318: The Power of Artillery
Since Ning Caichen led the army into the Beijing Division, Yuntian Wolf led his elite soldiers from Henan to Yunnan, Guangxi, Guizhou and other provinces, opening the footsteps of national unification.
Although with the demise of the imperial army, more than ninety percent of the towns in these provinces surrendered to the army, but they only spent as much as half a month on the road, so that they have not yet achieved great unification, and they cannot go to the border pass to kill the enemy temporarily.
Ning Caichen discussed with the ministers in the Wenjiang Pavilion and decided to let He Yun take 80,000 tiger and wolf troops to the vicinity of Sichuan Province to attack Tadan. Zhang Rong led 100,000 soldiers to Inner Mongolia and killed the Mongolian cavalry. As for himself, he took 50,000 soldiers to the three provinces of Kwantung to clear the land of the Qing invasion. The Beijing division was temporarily guarded by Ning Yi with the newly incorporated Imperial Forest Army.
Ning Caichen was wearing armor and holding a spear, riding on the body of Treading Snow, walking in front of tens of thousands of troops.
After ten consecutive days of rapid marching, Ning Caichen finally led his troops to Liaoning in the eastern part of the country, settled in the city lord's mansion, and summoned the local guards to the council hall.
"What is the situation on the frontier now, who is the leader of the Qing Kingdom?"
The Liaoning garrison was originally a member of the imperial court, but after the defeat of the imperial army, it was like Hangzhou surrendering: "The Qing cavalry was still mainly plundering some time ago, but recently it suddenly attacked the city, and Liaoning City has now repelled countless attacks, and Jiyang City has fallen." As for the leader of the Qing State, he was the eighth son of the Qing Emperor Nurhachi, Aixin Jueluo Huang Taiji. ”
"Jiyang has fallen, Huang Taiji ......" Ning Caichen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Huang Taiji is currently in Jiyang City?"
"Yes, he is currently in Geeyang City, confronting us. The guard said.
Ning Caichen stood up and instructed the entourage officers around him and said: "Order, give the Zhejiang army half a day and a night to rest, and early tomorrow morning, we will recover Jiyang City and kill all those invaders of the Qing Kingdom." ”
The entourage officer was ordered to leave, and after Ning Caichen let the guards out, he hid his figure and flew away in the direction of Jiyang.
Since Huang Taiji is here, then at least he has to assassinate him once to erase the divine thoughts in his identity token.
Galloping all the way to the sky above Jiyang City, Ning Caichen was surprised to find that Huang Taiji had actually arranged a large array in the entire City Lord's Mansion, and once someone broke in, he would perceive it.
Ning Caichen didn't know if Huang Taiji was defending himself, but this kind of defense did make him a little helpless.
His invisibility ring can only hide his body, not let himself enter another dimension, once he touches the big array, he will definitely make some noise.
"Has this guy been assassinated countless times before? Ning Caichen lingered in mid-air for a long time, and finally had no choice but to leave.
Early the next morning, Ning Caichen came to Jiyang City with soldiers and horses, and said to the young people at the head of the city: "Classmate Huang, you are very shameless, while I was rectifying the court, you quietly grabbed my city. ”
Huang Taiji said with a smile: "This city ...... Are you the Emperor of the Bright Realm?"
Ning Caichen didn't like to look up at him very much, so he flew up from his horse, sat cross-legged in the air, and looked at the other party: "Yes, although I haven't ascended the throne yet, I am the emperor in the Ming Domain." ”
Ning Caichen didn't follow his train of thought, and Huang Taiji was choked up, and many of the subsequent language offensives were suddenly stillborn.
"For Mingyu, you and I are both jackals. You have bitten off the fattest piece, I have eaten the most barren bit, in this case, what else are you unwilling to do?" Huang Taiji said.
Ning Caichen summoned the Xuanlong Spear and carried it on his shoulder: "When will you inherit your father's throne? When the time comes, the two of us will strike together, you will take the throne, and I will occupy some territory of your Qing Kingdom, should this also be?"
Huang Taiji fell silent, and after a moment, a trace of coldness appeared on his face: "As long as you can do it, it's up to you." ”
"In front of tens of thousands of soldiers, this is what you personally promised, and when you ascended the throne, you will give me some Qing territory. Ning Caichen said with a laugh.
Huang Taiji said in a deep voice: "Don't play word games with me, I didn't answer like this. ”
Ning Caichen stood up in the void and pointed a gun at his throat: "Don't play word games, then let's play battle games." Do you dare to come out and fight with me? If you win, you will live, and if you lose, you will die, and you will never run away and retreat. ”
"No interest. Huang Taiji said directly: "If you have the ability, you will order the siege, I want to try what soldiers you can bring out." ”
"Well, since you want to end this game early, I can't say anything. Ning Caichen said, summoned twelve space bags from the space ring, and threw them to the innate camp in the Zhejiang army: "Set up the red-clothed cannon and smash this city gate for me." ”
The innate masters received the order, and under the puzzled gaze of Huang Taiji, they opened the space bag and summoned twelve cannon barrels from it.
The firearms men walked up to them with the carriage, and the innate masters laboriously placed the barrels on the carriage and aimed the muzzles at the city gates.
"Classmate Huang, do you know what this thing is?" Ning Caichen said, pointing to the red-clothed cannon below.
Looking at the dark artillery carriage, a haze emerged in Huang Taiji's heart: "What is this? What tricks do you want to play?"
"This, called a cannon, is used to set off fireworks. Come, I invite you to watch a fireworks fireworks. Ning Caichen said, waving his hand at the firearms soldier.
More than 30 firearms soldiers gathered around the twelve cannons and lit the cannons.
"Boom...... Boom ......" accompanied by a violent cannon roar, twelve red-clothed cannons fired twelve cannonballs, which slammed into the city gate, and there was a violent explosion.
The entire city wall trembled slightly in the explosion, as if the earth was roaring, causing the Qing army to tremble.
The smoke of gunpowder filled the air, covering people's vision. The wind blew and gradually carried away the smoke.
Under the gaze of countless people, I saw that the ironwood gate that the Qing army imagined was extremely strong, which was completely smashed into pieces, burned into scorched wood, and the door was wide open.
Above the city, Huang Taiji's face changed instantly, he flew down the city in the air, and shouted at the Qing army: "Assemble at the city gate and prepare to resist the enemy." ”
Ning Caichen didn't give any more orders, and quietly watched the Qing army form a formation in the city wall.
When the Qing army came to the gate of the city wall, he finally spoke again: "Red-coated cannons, continue to fire and send all these Qing soldiers to hell." (To be continued.) )
