Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 662 The sky fire burns the city, burning the vast white land completely clean!

Thang Long Palace,

As King Annan's royal city, every night is the brightest and most dazzling place in Annan.

In Annan, a place where the aristocrats are rich and the people are poor, the people work day after day and go to bed early at night, because the people are reluctant to light an extra candle at night, let alone other oil lamps.

Poverty and the curfew system make Annan's nights always extremely quiet. If you look from the top of a mountain or some high place, you will find that most of Annan's city is basically dark at night, and occasionally there are some places with a little light. very faint.

Even Annan's royal city Shenglong is the same.

Except for Li Weiqi's palace and the mansions of nobles and officials on both sides, the rest of Shenglong City was completely dark.

Because even the people in Wangcheng, who live relatively better than other places and are a little richer, have been driven into poverty by the nobles and officials in Annan.

When Huang Degong took his magic army battalion to look for the Annan Palace, he saw the brightly lit palace from a distance. In the entire dark city, the palace was brightly lit, so conspicuous, it was hard not to notice it!
After confirming the location, the next thing to do is clear at a glance.

Kerosene tanks and explosives were dropped from the flying balls one by one, and large pieces of briquettes splashed on the walls, palaces, houses, and attics of the palace, and then a fire ignited, making the already brightly lit palace even brighter. conspicuous!

The sound of explosions came and went, and the deafening roar of the explosion and the soaring fire woke up the people in Thang Long City.

The common people came out of the house in a daze, looking at the blazing palace that was burning like a torch in the silent night, the people in Annan were completely stunned: what happened? !

boom!
An explosion sounded, and the top of an attic in the Annan Palace was directly blown away by the explosion. Immediately afterwards, the entire attic began to collapse, but in the blink of an eye, a tall attic collapsed in front of the people of Shenglong City.

With the collapse of this attic, there is also the majesty of the Annan royal family.

Countless explosions rang out, even with the reflection of the sky-high flames, most of the malnourished people had night blindness, they couldn't see far or clearly, they could only see the entire palace burning into a sea of ​​flames under the inexplicable explosion .

Do not!
Not just a palace!
There are also the mansions of the nobles and officials who they would kneel down to worship when they meet on weekdays, and the entire street where the dignitaries and dignitaries of Shenglong City live is also burning!
"The water is gone! The water is gone!"

"Quickly put out the fire!"

Crying and shouting came continuously. The dignitaries and dignitaries were all in the royal city. Now the entire Shenglong City is equivalent to losing its head. Not only the servants, but also the low-level officials are at a loss, and the garrison dare not act rashly. Who knows what happened? What? !

Countless people walked out of their homes, looked at the soaring fire, looked at the blazing royal palace and mansions of dignitaries, and listened to the continuous roar. They looked up at the night, as if there were a pair of eyes in the sky. Looking at the entire royal city, now, the gods have sent divine punishment.

Yes, this is the punishment of the gods!

How else do you explain the flames and explosions that fell from the sky?

"Your Majesty and nobles offended the gods, who sent down fire and thunder!" a commoner muttered to himself.

Obviously there are guards standing beside him, but no one objected to his words, yes, this must be God's punishment!

The roar of the explosion is still ringing, and the sea of ​​flames in Wangcheng is spreading in all directions, turning the entire center of Shenglong into a huge torch.

The setting of any city is that the poor and the common people are at the very edge, and the closer to the center, the more dignified and dignified they are.

The same is true for Shenglong. The center is Li Weiqi's royal city, the outer circle is the officials and nobles, the outer circle is the wealthy gentry, and the outer circle is the residence of the common people.

Moreover, there are lanes and walls between the royal city and the residences of dignitaries and ordinary people.

This prevented the flames of the entire royal city from spreading outwards. On the contrary, only the center of Shenglong was ignited, illuminating the surroundings.

Not to mention the people in the royal city at this moment, even if you are ten miles away, you can still see the burning of the royal palace in Shenglong City!

Li Weiqi was terrified, he stood at the entrance of the main hall and looked at the surrounding fire, the billowing heat wave swept over him, he was so scorched that it was extremely difficult to breathe, he couldn't figure out why there would be flames falling from the sky and burning his royal city.

Which god did he offend? !
And Annan's dignitaries and dignitaries no longer cared about their lives and mighty kings. They fled around one by one. What dignitaries and dignitaries are all the same at this time. Didn't you see that none of the palace guards paid attention to them at this time? ?

On weekdays, high-ranking officials and dignitaries seem to control the fate of countless people. A frown can make the people of Li people panic. When the palace guards see these nobles, they will bow down and salute them with respect.

However, at this moment, no one paid any attention to the cries and pleas for help from these dignitaries. The raging flames had already turned the entire palace into a sea of ​​flames.

As for the king and dignitaries?
who cares!
They all offended the gods and attracted the fire of the sky, so it doesn't matter what they do, let's save their lives first!

In the sky, Huang Degong looked at the burning royal city below, and started the next step.

It's not enough just that the palace is on fire, they have to set the entire Thang Long on fire to deal the heaviest blow to Annan. There is nothing more deterring thieves than the burning of the entire royal city.

Just like before the Liaonan new army attacked Shenyang unexpectedly, and the fire in Shenyang city rose to the sky. Since then, the Manchus were about to tremble when they heard the Liaonan Ming army, and the mention of Yuan Chonghuan's name was even more frightening. Manchu left a psychological shadow.

Now, he, Huang Degong, wants to make the people in Annan fearful when they mention Daming, and never dare to provoke the idea of ​​going to Shangguo again.

The flames spread and swept from the palace to all directions. Gradually, the entire Thang Long was ignited, becoming an extremely conspicuous torch in the dark night, illuminating the dark night in Annan, and bringing light and heat to the people of Annan.

Looking at the soaring flames and the rolling heat waves, the people of the entire Shenglong City enjoyed the lively atmosphere of the bonfire meeting, felt the warmth of the flames and this precious and bright night.

They must be very excited, right?

Are the people in Annan excited?

Excited, all excited to death!
The flames are burning in front of my eyes, can you not be excited?

I don't know who shouted, "Run, the god is angry!"

All the people ran up without thinking, the flames were burning, and the sound of explosions gradually covered the entire Shenglong City. No matter whether they were noble or humble, poor or rich, they were all extremely equal at this moment. Only one thought: escape, escape from here!

The gate of Shenglong City, which was originally closed, was opened by the panicked people at this moment. Countless people fled the largest and most prosperous royal city in Annan with their families and luggage.

In the palace, under the protection of a few loyal guards, Li Weiqi escaped from the palace where he was holding a banquet. When he escaped from the palace and looked at the collapsed hall, Li Weiqi's heart was bleeding. His stuff!
But now Li Weiqi doesn't care about these anymore, he wants to live, as long as he lives, he can enlist the people of Annan to build him a bigger and more beautiful royal city!

But Li Weiqi ran, but found that the guards didn't move.

"Heaven, Heavenly Soldiers."

Looking at the terrified guards, Li Weiqi followed the guards' eyes and looked up. In the dark night illuminated by the fire, heavenly soldiers in bright iron armor descended from the sky!

These heavenly soldiers are tall and mighty. They wear bright iron armor covering the whole body, a pocket on their heads, and combat boots on their feet. Their faces are covered by a beast mask, and their expressions and appearances cannot be seen clearly.

"Heavenly Soldiers, Heavenly Soldiers are really here?!"

Li Weiqi was also scared. What happened tonight was so unimaginable that he couldn't understand it. Looking at these heavenly soldiers falling from the sky, Li Weiqi was already unable to move.

Not to mention Li Weiqi, those loyal bodyguards who guarded him were frightened and stayed where they were, not daring to move.

Watching the heavenly soldiers and generals fall to the ground, under the reflection of the surrounding fire, the bright armor on these heavenly soldiers seemed to be burning with flames.

The gods have come!
"Annan Wang Li Weiqi?"

The leader of the Heavenly Soldiers looked at the disheveled and messy guy in front of him. If this person wasn't wearing a dragon robe, he wouldn't even be sure if it was Li Weiqi.

"You, are you heavenly soldiers or living people?" Li Weiqi finally asked the question in his heart.

"呲"

Huang Degong couldn't help but sneered when he heard Li Weiqi's question. He strode forward, and the bright armor on his body made a crackling sound. Seeing Huang Degong approaching him, Li Weiqi couldn't help but backed away, but he How can there be guards behind him at this time?

Accidentally, Li Weiqi was tripped by himself and sat on the ground. Seeing the general in bright iron armor and mask approaching step by step, Li Weiqi kept shrinking back until he bumped into another heavenly soldier. hide aside.

Huang Degong didn't bother to frighten Li Weiqi anymore, it really bored him that King Annan looked like this:

"Us? Of course we are Heavenly Soldiers, Daming's Heavenly Soldiers."

"This general is the commander of the Nanjing Shenji Battalion of the Ming Dynasty, Annan Wang Li Weiqi, you are now a prisoner of my Ming Dynasty!"

Hearing Huang Degong's words, Li Weiqi was instantly at a loss as if he had been blasted by a thunderbolt: "Da Ming's general?"

"Will Ming's soldiers descend from the sky?"

Too lazy to talk to the delirious Li Weiqi, Huang Degong turned his head and looked at the soldiers of the Shenbing Battalion who were armed behind him, holding crossbows and firearms: "Brothers, search around, and don't let any of those ministers go!"

"promise!"

The [-] divine soldiers battalion descended from the sky, which was undoubtedly a blow to Annan's dignitaries. They didn't understand why Ming's soldiers would come from the sky at all.

"Heavenly Soldiers, Heavenly Soldiers are here to catch us!"

"Run, the heavenly soldiers are coming!"

Annan's dignitaries, generals, and even ordinary palace guards fled in panic, and what awaited them were crossbow arrows.

Because they want to catch alive, these crossbow arrows are aimed at the hands and feet. The generals and ministers who fell to the ground after being pierced by the crossbow arrows through their arms or calves can only scream and fall to the ground, watching other people run away , They hoped that their companions would bring them with them, but in the end, it was Da Mingbing who waited for them.

In this way, a minister on the list became a prisoner of Ming Dynasty in the fire.

The fire did not go out all night, until the next morning, there were still flames burning in the palace and Thang Long City, and the largest and most beautiful palace in the palace finally collapsed and turned into ashes at this moment.

At this time, most of the city of Shenglong had been burned to the ground, and the entire palace was burned to nothingness. The people were terrified and thinking about the sky fire last night and the private rumors about the arrival of the heavenly soldiers.

Their king is gone.

Those high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the past are also gone.

The soldiers searched the ruins of the palace for a whole day, but found no trace. All the dignitaries, including the king, were gone, not even clothes or corpses.

According to the palace people who escaped from the palace by chance, last night when the heavenly fire fell and burned the palace, heavenly soldiers in golden armor descended from the sky. Caught it!
Yunnan, Chuxiong Mansion.

This place seems to have become the core of the Ming Dynasty in the southwest. The Chinese army camp of Zhang Haogu, the governor of the four provinces in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty, the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and the prince and grand master Zhang Haogu, is here.

Every day, a Fengtang newspaper is sent and a military order is issued, and money and food are constantly flowing out of the camp.

Huang Zongxi calculated the consumption of this period of time, while Zhang Haogu looked at the details of the battle situation on the sand table. Now the Ming army has begun to recover the lost ground, but Zhang Haogu still did not launch a full-scale counterattack.

"Yuansuke, this is you."

Huang Zongxi was puzzled to see Zhang Haogu staring at the sand table.

Zhang Haogu said: "Tai Chong, how do you think Annan should deal with it?"

Huang Zongxi asked: "Yuanfu, what do you think?"

Zhang Haogu looked at the sand table, and gently picked up a soldier: "Chengzu conquered Annan, destroyed his country, set up counties, and turned Annan into my land of China."

"This Annan, for me, Da Ming, is just a tentacles to control the West. Without this place, Da Ming would be weaker if he wants to control the West and deter other countries."

"At the beginning of this battle, this pavilion told the emperor that Annan needs to destroy his country in order to show the power of Ming Dynasty."

Huang Zongxi said: "Yuanfu, it is too difficult to destroy Annan with our tens of thousands of soldiers and horses alone."

"Annan is a tough nut to crack. The most difficult thing about him is the favorable terrain. There are many mountains, dense forests and poisonous miasmas, so it is difficult for the army to move forward. But this pavilion has already hit Huanglong directly. The snake has lost its head. What's the use?" Zhang Haogu said, put the pawn flag in his hand on the position of Shenglong in Annan, and directly crushed the small square city built with sand.

"It's too aggressive, let Feiqiu spill the [-] proclamations, it's almost time."

Huang Zongxi said: "Students understand."

Soon, the rest of the flying balls took off, carrying the [-] copies of the call to the place Annan now controls.

Now with the arrival of the new army, Annan's barbarians have found that they seem to be unable to fight now. Daming's army has sharp firearms and brave soldiers, and it is impossible to fight in a frontal battle.

Not to mention taking over the whole of Yunnan right now, even half of the province is going to be lost.

Thinking of the overwhelming rockets and roaring cannons, and the dragon bombs that directly destroyed the battle formation, Annan's soldiers couldn't help but feel their scalps go numb. How should this battle go on?

But at this time, the exclamation disturbed the thinking of Annan's generals.

When they walked out of the big tent, all they saw was the call to action that fell from the sky.

Oh, it turned out to be a call to action
wrong!

How did this proclamation come down from the sky? !
The generals looked at each other and immediately sensed something was wrong!
How did these proclamations fall from the sky?
An Annan military officer grabbed a copy of the proclamation and read softly: "I tell the generals of Annan that you will send troops to cause disaster and offend my famous frontier. This is an unforgivable crime and you will be punished by heaven."

"Today, fire from the sky fell to the ground, burning the city of three hundred miles up the dragon, the city collapsed, and the mountains overturned"

"If you are afraid of the power of the sky, you should immediately capture them with your arms tied. Otherwise, as soon as the king master arrives, the power of the sky will descend, and they will all be crushed. Don't say it was unexpected."

Generals, you look at me and I look at you, and you are all aware of the seriousness of the matter.

General Annan grabbed a pawn: "Who has seen these proclamations?"

The pawn said in great panic: "These things are sprinkled from the sky, and the whole camp has seen them. I don't know how many people have seen them!"

Hearing this, Annan's generals and nobles immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Pass it on, collect all the proclamations in the army, and burn them all for me! This is a clever plan. He wants us to retreat without fighting, dreaming!"

Following the military order issued by the general, the proclamations in Annan's army were confiscated and burned.

But Annan's soldiers murmured whether the royal city was burned, and if it hadn't been burned, why did the proclamation say so clearly? They had already seen the strength of the king's division of Ming Dynasty, and it was indeed the same as what was said in the proclamation. Similarly, arrows are like fire and meteors, guns are like thunderbolts, the sound of rumbling guns and roaring rockets are really overwhelming and endless.
Annan's generals and nobles have not yet discovered that the morale of the army has begun to collapse.

These soldiers are just Annan's mud legs, are they literate?
Do they know Gewu?
They are illiterate, do not know how to search things, they just follow the orders of the king to fight, in the final analysis, they are still ignorant.

Foolish people will be in awe of things they don't understand.

Can ordinary soldiers understand something like a call to arms?
They couldn't understand it, but some people in Annan's army could understand it. Those who understood it read and explained again and again, and then these soldiers talked about it, and the soldiers really felt the firepower of the Ming army. Powerful, so these proclamations become more outrageous as they spread.

Yesterday it was still the heavenly power descending, and the flames burned Shenglong City, today it was the Emperor of Ming Dynasty who was furious and directly stretched out his hand from Beijing to crush Shenglong City into ruins.

What will be passed on tomorrow, who can guarantee?
