Great Tang princess

Chapter 527 The Power of Artillery

Artillery, known as the god of war.

Li Yuechen had seen it in history textbooks before, and this thing was invented earlier than guns.

Most definitely not so early. Now that Li Yuechen has brought the God of War onto the world stage ahead of time, the history of the whole world will change because of it, right?

While thinking about these things, Li Yuechen quietly climbed up the city wall, poked his head out and looked at the dark enemy army gathered less than 500 meters ahead.

The soldiers of the reconnaissance company, who had already changed their clothes, were making final adjustments and aiming at the angle of the artillery.

Their camouflage uniforms were too conspicuous, so Li Yuechen asked them to change into coarse cloth clothes, as if they were temporarily conscripted to work.

Because the city wall is relatively high, the muzzle of the artillery should be lowered as much as possible to ensure that the shells can kill the enemy's vital forces to the greatest extent.

The cannonball is a pig iron egg, the size of a fist. In previous tests, a single shot could punch a hole in the city wall.But this is the first time to hit someone, and there has never been any relevant data, so Li Yuechen doesn't know how far he can do it.

But at this time, Geng Yunqiang and others standing on the city wall and a group of officers were very excited, as if they couldn't wait for the artillery to be launched.

Li Shouli and the others were also called to the city wall to observe the battle situation.

Although they are still young and not suitable for watching such bloody scenes, there is no way, this is what the future royal children must experience.

Now they are only fifteen or sixteen years old. In the future, they should be the age to fight, pick up girls and gossip at school, but here, as future military officers, they have to learn how to win a war.

They will see the brutal scene of blood and blood here, and they will have to get used to it in the future.

However, at this moment, they still didn't know anything about the scene they were going to experience next, and they were looking curiously at Li Yuechen who was half squatting and walking forward.

"Why is aunt like this?" Li Shouli asked a little puzzled.

Li Linghui on the side gave an answer: "My aunt is too famous. If the enemy finds out, she will definitely not dare to fight. Therefore, I can't let them see it now."

Li Yuechen nodded: "That's right, you all know that this battle is to give me an excuse to expand the country. If I were here, this plan would fail!"

As she spoke, she poked her head out a little bit, looked at the army of Mohe people gathered more than [-] meters away, and squinted her eyes.

Today's battle will make this country famous around the world, and officially take the first step in Li Yuechen's future blueprint.

Her idea is to first become the suzerain of the surrounding countries, and then maintain the stability of the country's land area, develop infrastructure and people's livelihood, and spend hundreds of years or even 1000 years to lay the foundation of a superpower.

I don't know whether after today, the world structure will launch a new round of arms race in my impression.

……

When the sun had fully risen, the light had begun to become a little dazzling.

Li Yuechen sat down against the city wall, chatting with Li Shouyi and the others while waiting for the enemy to launch an attack.

Finally, Li Yuechen raised his head when he heard a sound of "Boom Boom Boom".

This is the sound produced after 200,000 cavalry charged together, and even the ground caused an extremely small vibration.

Tong Xing shouted: "Your Highness, the enemy has launched an attack!"

Geng Yunqiang picked up the binoculars to take a look, and then said: "It's different from yesterday, it's an all-out attack!"

Li Yuechen nodded, then slowly got up from the ground, patted the dirt on his buttocks, and then slowly stood up.

Looking out from the city wall, she could see a mass of black cavalrymen approaching violently like sea waves, which reminded her of the days when she was surfing in a storm.

These cavalry were like sea waves blessed by a storm, rushing towards them with a breathtaking force, as if with a force of destruction, they could smash all the obstacles in front of them.

The distance of 500 meters is really not too far for the charging ass. Almost instantly, the violent waves have already approached the city.

Li Yuechen suddenly took a deep breath, his chest puffed up, and at the same time raised his hands and shouted: "Get ready—"

This roar is not rough, but like Adele's singing, it is extremely penetrating!

The soldiers on the city wall were shocked when they heard the sound, and all turned their heads around.

And those soldiers who had already prepared and were in charge of manipulating the artillery lit the fire pockets one after another, and approached the fuse protruding from the muzzle.

……

The soldiers who were charging below suddenly heard a loud roar in the chaotic environment, like the banshee in the legendary mountain forest, the voice was clear and bright, piercing the air and coming straight towards them.

The cavalry who were charging looked up, and saw a black and red figure suddenly appeared on the city wall at some time, raising their hands high as if to welcome their arrival.

Most of the cavalry responsible for the charge were slaves, and they didn't understand what this meant.

But the little boss who was in charge of commanding these people, and Yuwen Valley, who was paying attention to this side all the time, suddenly opened his eyes wide!
Red robe, black armor!
Is this?

At this time, Li Yuechen was not wearing a helmet. As long as his eyesight was not too bad and he could see clearly in sufficient sunlight, he was definitely a woman!

And that iconic black armor and red robe, no one in the world would dare to imitate!

"Withdraw! Order to retreat!"

Yuwen Valley's reaction was quick. Princess Taiping appeared here, and she was obviously caught in the trap!The order to retreat was immediately issued.

But it was too late at this time, the cavalry had already rushed to the place less than 100 meters away from the city wall, and it was a mess again, how could his order be conveyed in place.

Standing on the city wall, Li Yuechen's eyes were fixed, and he swung his raised arms down suddenly: "Let go!!!"

The soldiers who had already prepared lit the fuses one after another, and at the same time retreated a few steps, raising their hands to cover their ears.

Geng Yunqiang also reminded Tong Xing: "Cover your ears!"

Looking at the fast-burning Huo Nianzi, Tong Xing heard the rumors about the former Princess Taiping, and also realized that something big was about to happen, so he obediently raised his hands to cover his ears.

"Boom! Boom!! Boom!!!"

A loud bang suddenly sounded on the city wall, and with the flames from the muzzle, the artillery that had been set up retreated several meters.

The violent explosion was like thunder in the sky, and it seemed to resound on the battlefield with boundless majesty.

Tong Xing subconsciously opened his eyes wide, and at the same time, he even felt a very obvious vibration under his feet accompanied by the violent explosion, and the fine sand and stones on the wall piles rustled down.

But at the same time, he also saw pictures that he could never have imagined with his lack of imagination.

Among the charging cavalry, some people's limbs were constantly blown apart, and even the man and the horse were instantly crushed by an invisible black shadow, and the broken flesh and limbs danced in the air with the splash of blood.

Even the soldiers and horses behind him became fragmented at the moment when the shadow passed by. This scene reminded him of the stones thrown forcefully in the calm pond when he was a child, and the splashed water was almost like this scene.

On the route that the black shadow crossed, all the people and horses were smashed to pieces without exception, and a bloody road paved with bright red was opened in the dark tide.

This road of blood is irregularly covered with severed limbs and bodies of horses, as well as broken heads or bodies of humans...

And in this raging black tide, more than a dozen such roads have been opened!
Although the soldiers on both sides of the road seemed to be fine, they felt that their world suddenly became extremely quiet, and they seemed to be unable to hear anything, whether it was the sound of running horses' hooves or the shouts of their companions.

The next moment, I felt as if my body could no longer maintain balance, and I fell off the horse directly.

Among such a herd of horses running at high speed, once they fall, without exception, they will definitely be stamped into meat sauce.

The soldiers who survived the disaster kept their mouths open, watching the scene in disbelief, as if they hadn't figured out what happened.

Li Yuechen on the city wall took a deep breath, immediately turned around and walked down the steps, at the same time took his helmet from Wang Wuqiong's hand and put it on his head.

While walking down the city wall, he stretched out his hand and shouted: "All the soldiers follow me out of the city to kill the enemy! Take my double hammers!"

The soldiers who had already prepared for the reception were startled by the sound of the explosion just now, but when they heard the princess's roar, they raised their weapons and shouted: "Kill! Kill! Kill!!!"

Wang Wuqiong hurriedly came to Li Yuechen's side, and subconsciously tightened the hand holding the spear.

After Li Yuechen saw it, he said softly: "If you are afraid, you don't have to go."

"Going back to Your Highness, I'm not afraid, but just thinking, in the future, will it be useful for me to wait for warriors?" Her expression was a little confused.

She is quite familiar with artillery, but after seeing the effect of this thing on people for the first time today, she began to have doubts about the skills she has practiced for many years.

"This question, I will talk to you in person when I go back to the palace!" Li Yuechen's voice under the mask was much lower than usual.

At this time, the soldier next to her walked over quickly holding her two hammers with some difficulty: "Your Highness!"

"Ah."

Li Yuechen took the hammer, turned around and looked at the soldiers behind him, raised a hammer and shouted: "All soldiers! Come with me, go out of the city and kill the enemy!"

With a "squeak", the heavy city gate slowly opened, Li Yuechen turned around and ran out first, Wang Wuqiong and her guards quickly followed.

The follow-up soldiers immediately followed up with a roar, while maintaining their formation.

On the city wall above, Li Shouyi's face was pale, and he finally couldn't help it, bent over and vomited with a "wow".

Li Linghui and the others next to him were similar. Seeing that he vomited first, they couldn't help but ran to the side and vomited after him.

Although I have known for a long time that people must die in war, but after all, this is the first time I have seen such a scene, and I instinctively feel uncomfortable.
