At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Chapter 194 The Terrible Artillery Fire of the Sizhou Army

When Li Sanqi was leading the army and marching slowly, he was thinking of the scene of leading the army to kill after the gate of Hezhou City was opened in his mind.

at this time.

A soldier next to Li Sanqi suddenly pointed to the front and said: "General, there is a defeated army ahead!"

When Li Sanqi came back to his senses, he looked intently, and was stunned on the spot: "How is this possible?"

Li Sanqi's face was a little ugly, and his brows were tightly frowned.

With his eyesight, he could see that this so-called defeated army was exactly Xu Da and his party who were sent out to deceive Silence.

However, the current performance of Xu Da and his party does not look like a success, but rather a scene of failure.

This scene made Li Sanqi's heart sink a lot.

So, Li Sanqi slowly raised his hand and said, "Stop!"

The messenger behind Li Sanqi quickly made gestures and semaphore.

The army stopped after hearing the order and stood still.

Li Sanqi watched Xu Da and his party gradually approaching, his heart was a little confused.

Isn't it a good idea to cheat and open the city?
Why did it fail?
This point, Li Sanqi couldn't figure it out, he waited patiently for Xu Da and his party to approach, he wanted to hear Xu Da's report.

soon.

Xu Da and his party gradually came to Li Sanqi.

Xu Da confessed his guilt, and was the first to take the lead and knelt on one knee and said: "I am ashamed, I failed to cheat the city, and lost five hundred brothers of my Sizhou Army."

The soldiers of the Sizhou Army behind Xu Da also knelt on one knee without saying a word.

Seeing this, Li Sanqi felt a little disappointed.

"You all get up! Xu Da, tell me why He Zhoucheng failed to cheat the city, and the whole story of this matter, you will tell me all about it!" Li Sanqi looked at Xu Da closely.

Seeing that Li Sanqi didn't blame him, Xu Da quickly told Li Sanqi all about the matter before and after.

After Li Sanqi finished listening, he sighed: "I don't blame you for this matter, I didn't expect that the guard of the Yuan army would put you together!"

Xu Da is not a stupid person. After passing Li Sanqi, the scene just now flashed in his mind, and suddenly his eyes brightened, and he suddenly realized: "So it is like this, this time, I underestimated the enemy, I underestimated Yuan The vigilance of the army."

Li Sanqi nodded and said: "It seems that this time, we have encountered a difficult opponent. Now, what I am worried about is that this time the fraudulent opening of Hezhou City may be a little alarming. Tu and other places, I am afraid that they are on guard, and Han Shan, I think the Yuan army may send someone to contact them, and will inform them of this matter."

Xu Da felt a little guilty when he heard this.

"Xu Da, don't think too much. This time, it's not your fault. Now, what we have to do is to make a long-term plan. Also, we have to be careful of Hancheng and Hezhoucheng Yuanjun, and don't be fooled by them." I made dumplings. Otherwise, I will have no face to face the general!" Li Sanqi looked at Xu Da and spoke harshly.

Xu Da was stunned, and nodded heavily: "General Li, judging from the present, they haven't received any news about Hanshan City. It's better to let the subordinates take the blame and perform meritorious service, and let the subordinates lead five thousand troops to attack Hanshan City at night." Yuan army."

Li Sanqi sighed: "With 5000 troops, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win Hanshan City!"

"Why don't we go back to Jilong Mountain and wait for the opportunity." Xu Da suggested.

Li Sanqi's eyes met Xu Da's: "If you go back to Jilong Mountain now, tell me, will the Yuan army in Hezhou City send people to burn the mountain?"

Xu Da looked a little shocked.

If Yuan Jun really did this, no, Yuan Jun would probably do it.

Xu Da thought that such a consequence might happen, and immediately froze in place.

This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what should I do?

Xu Da's heart suddenly became confused.

Li Sanqi was in the same mood as Xu Da at the moment.

a long time.

Li Sanqi looked at Xu Da and said: "Hezhou City, we must take it down. Otherwise, the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us. Moreover, if our side loses, it may also affect Luo Erhu's side." The battle on the side."

Xu Da didn't refute, but asked, "General Li, how should we capture Hezhou City?"

Li Sanqi's eyes suddenly became firm: "Perhaps, the hope of winning Hezhou City this time lies in the five cannons."

"Cannon?" Xu Da looked skeptical, he didn't believe this at all.

Li Sanqi didn't say anything. As for the power of the cannon, only after seeing it with his own eyes can he know what it means.According to the general, this is a dimensionality reduction strike.

If he remembered correctly, the cannons of the Yuan army could hit a hundred paces away, and their accuracy was extremely poor, and they could easily injure friendly troops.

However, the cannon improved by the Academy of Sciences has a range of two hundred paces, extremely high accuracy, and great power.

These, he has seen with his own eyes.

If it wasn't for breaking the situation, he originally wanted to leave the cannon behind to attack Dangtu City or Hanshan City, but now he can only move forward.

Even if you run out of explosives, you must take Hezhou City at all costs.

The explosive packs brought this time are not unlimited, but a certain number.

If it is used up, it will not be replenished for a while.

Li Sanqi immediately ordered: "The army continues to march! Xu Da led an army of [-] as the front army, escorted five cannons to Hezhou City two hundred steps away, and pointed the cannons at Hezhou City. Fight hard until all the explosive packs you brought this time are used up! And I will lead the army as the rear army, and I will support Xu Da! Tonight, our Sizhou army must take Hezhou city!"

Although Xu Da was still not optimistic about the power of the cannon, he still responded loudly: "Xu Da obeys the order!"

Soon, Xu Da gathered three thousand soldiers and horses, and marched towards Hezhou City with five cannons majestically.

When Li Sanqi and his party arrived at the foot of Hezhou City, Sang Tushili on the city wall looked at Yexian Timur more convinced, and said to Yexian Timur respectfully: "My lord, fortunately, my lord stopped me before." I will lead the troops out of the city to pursue, otherwise, the general will be ambushed."

Also, Timur didn't respond immediately, but raised his head to look at the sky first, and found that night was about to fall, then turned to look at Li Sanqi and others under the city, his expression suddenly became more solemn: "This enemy army came with bad intentions, I'm afraid they will choose to attack by force, and at a glance, they are all enemy troops, and there are probably at least 5 people!"

Sang Tushili said disapprovingly: "My lord, even if the opponent has 5 people, they will never want to capture us and Zhoucheng. Now we and Zhoucheng have 2 soldiers and horses. If the enemy army under the city does not have 10 people, Don’t even try to take it down by force. Although Hezhou City is not big, our Dayuan soldiers are united as one, the Dayuan soldiers fought bravely, and the general was resourceful. The enemy’s attempt to capture Hezhou City is only a fool’s dream!"

First Timur didn't answer, but instead looked straight at Xu Da and the others who were busy in the city.

Sang Tushili followed Yexian Timur's eyes and looked at the same way, pointing to Xu Da and his party under the city, Sang Tushili said: "My lord, these people don't expect the cannon to capture us and the state, do they? We and the state also have ten cannons, and there are three forts on the city wall. However, the range of this cannon is at most a hundred paces, and the accuracy is not good. Does this mean that the enemy army does not understand these things?"

First of all, Timur's eyes were fixed on Xu Da and his party lined up the five cannons under the city. He suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and this bad premonition obviously came from the five cannons.

Could it be that these five cannons are in any danger?
What a joke!
These five cannons are at least a hundred steps away from here. How could these cannons hit here?
However, Yexian Timur felt more and more uneasy in his heart.

After a little thought, Timur quietly stepped back a few steps and stood behind Sang Tushili before standing still.

Because he found that he was standing behind Sang Tu Shili, the feeling of uneasiness disappeared.

Could it be that the feeling just now was an illusion?
First, Timur had doubts about this.

Although Sang Tushili was puzzled, Timur stood behind him first, but he didn't think too much, his eyes stayed on Xu Da and his party.

At this moment, Sang Tushili pointed at Xu Da and turned to Yexian Timur and said, "My lord, look! What does that man want to do?"

Timur looked over first, and found that it was the leader in front of the city who raised his hand high, as if giving an order.

First, Timur was not mistaken. After Xu Da ordered the cannon to be set, he raised his right hand high, slashed forward fiercely, and said in a loud voice, "Light it up—fire the cannon!"

"Boom boom boom boom!!"

The five cannons fired together, and the sound shook the world.

First, Timur and Sang Tushili saw five cannons firing towards the city wall of Hezhou City. They didn't care at first, and they still had mocking smiles on their faces.

However, as the cannon fire from the cannon was approaching the city wall, at this moment, whether it was Yexian Timur, Sang Tushili, or the soldiers of the Yuan army on the city wall, their hands and feet were cold, and their faces showed incomparable horror. A look of disbelief.

Sang Tushili was the first to react, and immediately shouted at the soldiers behind him: "Everyone, protect your lord!"

As soon as the words fell, five artillery shells came together, and it happened that one shell landed on Sang Tu Shili.

In an instant, Sangtu's body was torn apart and blood was flying everywhere.

This scene made Yexian Timur and the surrounding Yuan soldiers terrified.
