Chapter 624
Boom—boom——

A total of 120 cannons lined up in three rows and began to fire without interruption. The walls of Quanzhou City, which were not thick at all, were peeled off piece by piece by the shells.

"Zheng Feng, order the artillerymen to fire and fight back!" Zheng Zhibao roared angrily.

The Huoziqi has dominated Lu Song for ten years, and it has always been the opponents who have been beaten, but it has never been so passive.

"Master Staff Officer, we... our artillery can't hit that far, and the artillery shells have no lethality when they reach the Ming army's position." Zheng Feng said in a disgruntled and embarrassed manner.

"Bastard! Are you deaf? I'll let you fire!" Zheng Zhibao slapped Zheng Feng's face angrily.

How could he not know the effective range of his own artillery, he was just out of breath.

Judging from the power of the cannonballs, it is obvious that this distance is not the limit of the artillery of the Ming army. If it is like this, it will not last until tomorrow, and the city wall may not be able to support it for a few hours.

Boom—boom boom—

The cannons of the Zheng family at the top of the city also started to fight back as if in a demonstration, which made Kong Er, who was below the city, shiver with fright.

The Zheng family army on the city still has the city wall as a defense, but his Shenji Battalion does not have it. It took nearly [-] days to bring the artillery over. Just lose it.

Has the position been arranged outside the effective range of Zheng's artillery?Why are you still shooting?
Such a thought flashed across Kong Er's mind, but the next scene almost made him scold his mother.

The artillery at the top of the city seemed to be making a lot of noise, but the shells basically hit the Shenji Battalion at a distance of tens of steps in front of the camp.

After the shell hit the ground, the "remaining power" continued to roll forward unabated, until it reached the position of the first row of artillery in the Shenji Battalion. The gunners of the first row of artillery stared at the shells under their feet and were frightened.

"Damn it, why are you in a daze, keep on bombarding me, my lord said, go to the city to eat meat tonight!" It turned out to be a false alarm, Kong Er yelled as he kicked a stunned soldier.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom

The artillery at the top of the city only fired two rounds and then went out. Zheng Zhibao also knew that venting like that was futile, but the Shenji Battalion of the Ming Army kept bombarding the city gate and the three people on both sides of the city gate. position.

Liu Hongjian's ears were itchy from the continuous bombardment, and he had to poke his ears from time to time.

The shelling continued until dusk, and the Fifty Thousand Sichuan Army formed dozens of phalanxes and stood almost motionless for several hours.

In more than a year, the white-armed soldiers have already realized the transformation from spears to quick-fire muskets.

The guns are naturally front-loading rifles. In order to show the characteristics of the white-armed soldiers, Liu Hongjian also specially greeted the ordnance department. The same material as the originally equipped white gun.

Coupled with the special silver-white military uniforms of the Sichuan Army, the entire [-] Sichuan Army is like a heavenly soldier and general, reflecting the sunset glow of the west, which is very spectacular.

Liu Hongjian was very satisfied with the Sichuan army that came from Sichuan and Shu across the mountains, and even the Jingying army might not be able to match the iron discipline.

Old General Qin is the pillar of Ming Dynasty!Liu Hongjian sighed softly.

"My lord, there are already cracks in the city wall on the left side of the city gate, and I reckon it will collapse in a while." Chang Yu rode on a horse and carried a telescope while observing the wall of Quanzhou city wall.

During siege battles, the city defenders usually fill in stones behind the city gates. Compared with the city walls paved with blue bricks, most of the time the city gates are more difficult to break through.

"My lord, something seems wrong!" Chang Yu looked around and around the city through the binoculars.

"Why, could it be that he ran away?" Liu Hongjian lay on the grand teacher's chair and squinted slightly to take the telescope from Niu Dabanchui.

The shelling lasted for several hours. Based on the principle of being able to lie down and never sit down, Liu Hongjian simply ordered someone to borrow an old-fashioned Taishi chair from a nearby village.

This guy thought the chair was too hard, so he spread a quilt on the chair, and just laid Ge You on the soft chair comfortably, and lay down for several hours.

"Hiss—it's so fucking true!" Liu Hongjian jumped up from the grand master's chair, turned on his horse again, and looked up at the city.

I saw that the city gate and the city walls on both sides of the city gate were bombarded with cracks, and the city wall on the left was almost collapsed. As for the top of the city, hehe.

It turned out that soldiers came out from time to time to take a look, but where are there still people now?

Boom——Boom—At this moment, the city wall on the left side of the city gate could no longer support it and collapsed.

"Rush into the city for me! Kill!" Without Liu Hongjian's order, the youngest of the Qin family who had been waiting for a long time roared, and rushed into the city with thousands of cavalry.

And Qin Yiming and Qin Gongming led the musket phalanx, marching towards Quanzhou City at a neat pace.

After a while, the cavalry of the Sichuan Army swarmed in, and the sound of the artillery from the Shenji Battalion finally stopped.

"My lord, there is no enemy army in the city. They...they fled by boat from the southeast of the city." Qin Zuoming rushed to report in a hurry.

The east of Quanzhou City is adjacent to Lanxi, and the south of the city is Lingyuan Mountain. Lanxi flows eastward into the Daming Sea, which happens to be the dead end of the Ming army's encirclement.

The Zheng family army in the city must have already arranged a large boat in the lower reaches of the Lanxi. Lingyuan Mountain is not high.

"My lord, it seems that the Zheng family's army has long thought of a retreat." Chang Yu spread out the map while looking at it.

"Oh, bad thing, bad thing!" Uncle Han Yuhan, who had been following him all the time, yelled badly when he heard this.

What he was thinking of was not the escaped Zheng family's bandit army but Liu Hongjian. It would be fine if Liu Hongjian had ordered the attack on the city four days ago before the artillery arrived. , After all, I tried my best.

That's good, the prince didn't attack the city, he slept in the big tent for three days and caused the bandits of the Zheng family to escape. If this matter spreads to the court, especially the old ministers in the East Palace, there may be more troubles.

"If you run away, you will run away. Master Han, you don't need to talk about it. Let's go to the city to eat meat!" Liu Hongjian was not too angry, ignored the nagging Han Yu, and walked towards the city on his own.

He hadn't thought of really fighting the Zheng family's army, and now it seems that Zheng Zhilong has the same idea. If he guessed correctly, it is estimated that Old Zheng didn't intend to fight the court in the first place.

Don't think about it, in the past few days, Lao Zheng must be busy transferring family property in Anping.

If it wasn't for saving face for your little Zheng, I would have rewarded you with a gun as early as during the negotiation, Liu Hongjian snorted coldly in his heart.

It was completely dark, and the entire camp of the Ming army was filled with an unhappy atmosphere, including Kong Er, the idiot of the Shenji camp. After working hard for a long time, the barrel of the cannon was all red, but in the end there was only an empty city. What do you say? Not angry.

Only Liu Hongjian heartlessly tore off a chicken drumstick to eat the thieves. During the period, Uncle Han also suggested that Liu Hongjian take advantage of the victory and go straight to Anping, the old nest of Zheng's family, but Liu Hongjian refused.

What's the fuss in the middle of the night?What good would it do Daming to eliminate the Zheng family?Who will deal with the red fan ghosts in Nanyang?Just relying on the tens of thousands of people from the Beiyang Navy?

The real purpose of conquering the Zheng family is not to destroy the Zheng family, it is enough to drive them out of the territory of Daming and let them harm the red ghosts.

As for the imperial court, if there are too many lice, it doesn't itch, and if it irritates him, it will be a big deal to punish corruption again. There are Dongchang Lao Cao and Jin Yiwei Lao Liang, those courtiers can turn the sky upside down?
Why is Wei Zhongxian so awesome?The trust of the carpenter emperor is nothing more than the trust of the courtiers in front of him. No matter how many crimes there are, the emperor just doesn't believe it. Are you angry?

But Liu Hongjian was not Wei Zhongxian, and he didn't bother to argue with those courtiers who liked to impeach people at every turn, unless he couldn't help it.

After resting in Quanzhou City for one night, Liu Hongjian led an army of [-] troops towards Anping, the real home of the Zheng family, on the second day.

There, there is the No. [-] luxury villa group in the south of the Yangtze River that Zheng Zhilong spent huge sums of money to build.

There, there are countless forts arranged by Zheng Zhilong in order to protect his property safety.
