Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 231 Don't Smash My Hometown's Cantaloupe
The scenery of Saibei is very different from that of the Central Plains, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. This environment is not conducive to the combat of the Central Plains soldiers. It takes a certain amount of time to adapt to it. Fortunately, the team of Han Wangye is strong and strong, and its combat effectiveness is also strong.

The Qi Bing fast-forwarded to seven miles outside Hami City.

With so many people in the team, it is obvious that Hami City still received a little bit of wind. Now the city gate is closed at noon, and there is no crowd.

Zhu Gaojiu held a piece of fresh cantaloupe in his hand, and took a sip of juice: "Wow, it's really sweet." This was bought from the Hami caravan that transported the goods on the way. Because no money was given.

After eating a piece of melon, Zhu Gaojiu wiped his mouth with the clothes of the soldiers next door with satisfaction, and then announced: "When we enter the city, remember not to break the cantaloupe of the fellow villagers during the war. This thing will be used as a tribute to Your Majesty, Your Majesty. There must be a reward."

"My lord, Hami's melons are sweet, and Hami's girls are also very sweet." The soldier on the side showed a hey smile.

Snapped

"The unpromising guy, thinking about such a few things in his head, to prioritize, although we are here to fight Hamiwei, but we are here to establish Wei, Hamiwei is our Daming site after all, and the people inside are also Daming people. You can't disturb the people when you go in, and when you attack the Chagatai Khanate, you can do whatever you want, and I won't stop you."

"Yes, my lord."

Although Zhu Gaojiu usually looks at people and is not stingy, he always handles it clearly at critical moments, which is why Zhu Xi likes him.

Zhu Gaojiu saw that there was no wind at this time, and ordered: "Hot air balloon, take off."

A hot air balloon began to inflate. This was the hot air balloon that Zhu Zhanchang ordered to bring from Guangzhou. There were ten hot air balloons in total, and Zhu Gaojiu brought three out.

With the ignition, the hot air balloon slowly inflated and slowly expanded, and some soldiers who had not seen it before were dumbfounded.

As the pilot of a hot air balloon, the scenery is very beautiful at this time.

Amid the surprise of everyone, the hot air balloon flew high.

"Wow, I can really fly, and we won't be able to fly after that."

"I must go up there too."

Zhu Gaojiu interrupted their exclamation: "Don't look at it, all ready, the cavalry guards the Shenji battalion, and the Shenji battalion will bring out all the latest artillery."

Watching the Shenji Camp build the latest artillery called the Hongyi Cannon, Zhu Gaojiu's blood boiled when he saw that the barrel was much longer than the previous one, and he tried it before, and the effective range reached two and a half miles. The gun had an effective range of only about a mile.

In this era, it is still a long distance to be able to hit two miles.

The Hongyi cannon was mounted on the car and pushed out, and the hot air balloons flew out together. For a time, the soldiers on the Hamiwei city wall were dumbfounded when they saw the hot air balloons flying from the sky, not knowing what it was.

Hamiwei's inner guard commander Alimu looked at the flying hot air balloon in confusion, thinking it was a natural phenomenon, and he was more concerned about the Ming army not far away.

The cavalry squad, ten people, rode to the bottom of the city, and shouted to the Hamiwei soldiers on the city wall: "Alimu, the commander of Hamiwei, does not obey the Ming Dynasty's edict, violates the agreement, and rebels. Kill, but those who stubbornly resist will be killed without mercy."

"Alimu commander, there are many Ming soldiers and strong weapons, why should we fight against the Ming army?" asked the commander in Hamiwei.

Alimu glared at him: "When the two armies are fighting, are you saying this to shake our army's heart?"

"Commander Alimu, ask how many of these people are willing to fight the Ming army."

Alimu glanced around: "You know shit, Daming has always given way to us, and it's the same now. If we stick to it, can they still fight regardless? They will definitely send someone to negotiate the terms, and then they can be ruthless. slaughter them."

"But commander, it doesn't seem right to see this battle. The Ming army has a feeling that it is about to fire."

"I know the Ming army. The Ming army won't fire. They like to negotiate, so I dragged it on purpose." Alimu said triumphantly. For many years, they have been like this to Daming, like blood-sucking vermin, whenever there is a chance It will suck blood from Daming. Daming's center of gravity is not in the northwest. In order to maintain the stability of the northwest, he always makes concessions.

But people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, so this time it was Zhu Gaojiu.

"Send the arrows and push the cavalry back for me."

"The commander can't do it!!"

"I think there are only a few thousand of them. Do they want to kill us Hamiwei? They came here to negotiate, let the arrows go."

Arrows fell from the city wall, forcing back the cavalry who were shouting.

Zhu Gaojiu smiled disdainfully: "Soldiers, prepare the cannons in red, go into the city to eat cantaloupe, put them away."

boom

boom

boom

The cannons sounded, and more than a dozen Hongyi cannons covered the fire. Zhu Gaojiu opened fire when he saw that the cavalry was being forced to retreat, and then the messenger ordered the hot air balloon to fly forward.

The cannonball fell on Hamiwei's city wall with enormous power. It was more than twice that of ordinary artillery. Hamiwei's city wall was blown up in just one round, and the commander Alimu opened fire before he could react. exceeded their expectations.

Not only that, the second round of bombardment didn't give them any hesitation time, so they followed immediately.

Taking advantage of the artillery fire, the hot air balloon was lifted to the maximum height, flew above the city wall, and directly used air dominance to cross the city wall of Hamiwei. The soldiers above threw the explosives indiscriminately at the right time.

The accuracy of such a throw is very poor, but what is the accuracy of indiscriminate strikes?

"Commander, there is also a Ming army in the sky, and the Ming army is in the sky!"

"The Ming Army is in the sky!!"

All of a sudden, the defenders in Hami Guard were in chaos.
The defenders in Hami Guard threw away their helmets and armor, fled in chaos, and attacked from the sky. That was the method of the gods, and they didn't run away. Are they waiting for the gods to beat them?
Under the continuous artillery fire, I was already timid, and the people here all believed in gods and Buddhas.

Zhu Gaojiao couldn't help laughing when he saw that the battle situation was better than he thought.

"Cavalry, prepare, as soon as the artillery stops, the cavalry charges."

After this round of bombardment, the morale on his side was high, and the city gates collapsed.

When the cavalry soldiers approached the city, they would drive straight in. Anyone who dared to disobey would be shot to death. With the combination of Akka Siqi and shotguns, those Hami Guard soldiers with ordinary swordsmen were no match at all.

The shotgun showed its mighty power, and every bombardment was powerful enough to kill the head of the Eastern Ying Dynasty.

The Ming army occupied the broken city wall of Hamiwei for the first time, and the defenders of Hamiwei were retreating. The commander made Alimu know that there was a dead end and he would fight to the death, but the people around him didn't want to die.

When the commander saw something bad, he stabbed Alimu in the back of his heart. Alimu looked at his cronies in disbelief, and then moved his head.

Hamiwei's soldiers presented Alimu's head to Zhu Gaojiu, the king of the Han Dynasty, and Zhu Gaojiu hung it under the city gate as an example.

While eating cantaloupe, Zhu Gaojiu instructed the soldiers to capture and behead the stubborn resisters, but did not disturb the civilians.

"My lord, the fight this time went too smoothly, my lord is mighty."

"Hey, let's talk about it, the new weapons have to be powerful. If you fight like this, I estimate that the Chagatai Khanate will be defeated in half a year."

After all, the Chagatai Khanate is vast and sparsely populated, and the main city is even finished. The deserts and Gobi in other places are not suitable for people to live in. If there is no city to rely on, naturally there is no resistance.

Zhu Gaojiu's face was full of smiles. The effect of this battle was very good. When the soldiers attacked, Hami Guard almost surrendered without a fight.

The artillery was fired in the morning, and the landing was cast in the evening.

The King of Han was still very attentive to the battle. He won such a big victory today, and in the evening, together with several important generals, he reviewed the inadequacies of today's battle.

"Whether the efficiency or damage of the battle of the prince today, there is hardly a stronger battle." The soldiers were full of confidence.

"My lord, I have an idea. We have never seen any hot air balloon enemy. This kind of play from the sky can easily break the enemy's morale. When we entered the city, many people thought that we had recruited gods. come."

Zhu Gaojiu touched his chin: "Is this place similar to the gods and Buddhas that I believe in?"

"Yes, my lord."

"Then next, arrange a few skilled painters to paint the gods and Buddhas they believe in on the hot air balloon. When the sky full of gods and Buddha hot air balloons will fly, they will be scared. "

Unexpectedly, Zhu Gaojiu has the awareness of skin bonus in this era.

"Good idea, as expected of the prince."

"But the hot air balloon is greatly affected by the wind, and the wind is strong when flying high. If the opponent is a crossbow arrow array, it may be very troublesome."

"In the future, the hot air balloon will still have to attack together with the artillery."

In the first battle of Hami, the news of the pacification spread quickly, and Zhu Zhanchang was stunned as soon as he got the news. He did not expect Zhu Gaojiu to win the first battle so quickly, which was very important to our army's morale.

Of course, there was another A Duanwei who did not obey Daming's orders.

As soon as the commander of A Duanwei heard about Hamiwei's situation, he immediately took a small team to Hamiwei to meet Zhu Gaojiu. Hamiwei was stronger than him in all aspects. Such a place was breached in one day. There are more than [-] people, and A Duanwei is only [-], and this is when the chef is counted.

The war in this era is different from what they thought before. It’s not about cutting with a knife. It’s not that you are defending the city. I have to use several times the strength to fight it down. With long spears and short cannons, your sword can be used as not come down.

The person who knew the current affairs was Junjie, the commander of A Duanwei, who came to see Zhu Gaojiu with gifts of gold and silver treasures.

Who is Zhu Gaojiu? Of course, if you dare to give me the gold and silver treasures, you will dare to accept them all.

At the same time, he said to the commander of A Duanwei: "You A Duanwei will send [-] troops, and when the time comes, follow me to the Chagatai Khanate."

Others are three thousand, you five thousand, because you are not obedient.
