Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 228 Go hang up the white flags

Fu Youde raised his head to stop him, and then said to Li Wei: "But you only need to bombard a mile away, and do not rush forward. Leave the siege to other soldiers!"

With the attack methods used by the Puding City defenders, a distance of one mile was enough to ensure absolute safety. As long as Li Wei did not risk his own death and rush forward, his life would be safe.

When Mu Ying heard his arrangement, she breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Li Wei was not happy: "What do you call this? What do you mean I can't move forward and let others rush? My life is life, but the lives of other soldiers are not life?"

When Li Wei said these words, the soldiers present were in awe of him!

Even if they had always looked down upon many of his generals before, they couldn't help but have a great change in their opinion of him after hearing these words, even Hu Hai was no exception.

Fu Youde was also slightly surprised in his heart. He was very satisfied that he could say this, but he was satisfied, and His Majesty's explanation must still be completed.

Just when the generals were respectful and Fu Youde and Mu Ying were about to persuade, Li Wei followed up with righteous words:

"Let Hu Hai go!"

Hu Hai: "?"

What's the meaning? Your life and that of other soldiers is life, but my life is not life?

Fu Youde and all the soldiers were also stunned and did not react for a while.

The camp was quiet for a long time before Fu Youde finally swallowed his words of persuasion and said, "That's fine, after you finish the bombardment, Governor Hu will still be in charge of attacking the city!"

The corner of Hu Hai's mouth twitched. Although he was very dissatisfied with this unfair arrangement, he originally asked for the siege. He had to fight with or without Li Wei.

"The last will obey!"

Fu Youde nodded lightly, and then agreed with them on tomorrow's formation layout and decided on a strategy to attack the city.

After the discussion, Li Wei hurried back to the Shenji Camp and ordered Wu Yong with a happy face:

"Wu Yong, go get Sun Lei for me!"

"Yes!" Wu Yong took the order and left.

Li Wei looked excited and paced back and forth.

Fuck, I’ve been holding it in for six or seven days, and finally I’m here. My Italian cannon is already so thirsty!

In fact, not only did Sun Lei want to blast him, he also wanted to test how his new artillery performed on the battlefield.

Although the previous flying thunder cannons were powerful, their range was relatively short. The enemy's bows and arrows could be fired from a distance of a hundred meters.

There is a more important point, the thunder cannon cannot fire continuously. After firing one shot, it will enter the sage time. If you have to fire continuously, I am afraid it will hurt yourself.

He attaches great importance to the lives of his soldiers, and naturally he does not want the soldiers to risk their lives by using this thing to fire continuously.

But the Divine Machine Cannon and the Divine Power Cannon are different. As long as they are operated properly, they are very safe, and they have a long range and a fast rate of fire. Hundreds of them can be swung at that point, ensuring continuous and long-lasting artillery fire!

In the age of firearms, as long as the firepower is strong enough, these enemies armed with cold weapons will not even have a chance to fight back!

After a while, Wu Yong brought Sun Lei over.

"Greetings, sir!" Sun Lei said in a loud voice.

Li Wei suppressed the excitement in his heart and said in a calm voice: "The general ordered us to bombard Puding City. Go back and prepare. Check all the artillery to make sure nothing goes wrong!"

Sun Lei was immediately overjoyed when he heard this: "What? Did the general allow us to bombard Puding?"

Li Wei nodded lightly, and Sun Lei suddenly shouted excitedly: "Great! It's finally our turn to speak up. I've been holding it in for six or seven days!"

Seeing him like this, Li Wei suddenly frowned and said disdainfully: "Look at you looking so worthless, why don't you just have a good time? Are you so excited?"

"Hehe, the lesson is, I'm going to prepare now!" Sun Lei was still excited and anxious to go back and prepare.

"go Go."

Li Wei waved his hand casually, and Sun Lei hurriedly retreated.

The next day, the Ming army's formation changed drastically. The Shenji Battalion was transformed from the flank to the front army. Hu Hai's elite troops were arrayed on the side, preparing to launch an attack after his bombardment.

On the other side, Mu Ying also led troops to guard the side just in case, acting as a nanny.

On the city, Daruhuachi, Xie Cheng and others also noticed the changes in the Ming army. They were shocked to see so many artillery pieces from the Shenji Battalion.

"Sir, how about we surrender?"

Xie Cheng trembled and advised, he didn't want to be buried with Daru Hua Chi. As for the reinforcements from King Liang, they were all common tricks to deceive ordinary soldiers to improve their morale. How could he not know.

Daruhuachi was also frightened at this time. Although his lies had an effect and temporarily stabilized the morale of the army, lies were lies and could not last for a few days.

The Ming army of 200,000 troops was in front of him, leaving him with not many choices. Daruhuachi looked at the Ming army in the distance in silence, his heart no longer as firm as before.

In the Ming army formation, Li Wei received the order and asked the Shenji Battalion to advance to a position about a mile away from the city, lined up hundreds of artillery pieces, and aimed at Puding City.

From such a distance, he could clearly see Xie Cheng and Daru Huachi wearing Beiyuan official uniforms on the city gate tower without using binoculars.

At this time, the two of them didn't know that they were already within the range of Shenji Camp's artillery, and they were still looking at the Ming army's formation.

Seeing this, Li Wei immediately stopped hesitating, raised his hand and pointed to Sun Lei and said: "Did you see those two people on the city gate? Aim all the artillery there and blast hard!"

"Don't worry, sir, the general will understand!"

Sun Lei replied loudly.

The gunners took their respective positions, loading and aiming in an orderly manner.

After everyone was ready, Sun Lei immediately reported: "Sir, the gunner is ready!"

"Okay, fire!" Li Wei ordered happily.

When Sun Lei heard this, he was so excited that his face turned red, he jumped to his feet and shouted: "Fire!"

His loud voice spread far and wide, and teams at all levels immediately conveyed the order after receiving it.

Boom boom boom!

A moment later, artillery roared, and hundreds of shells focused on the city gate tower.

Daruhuachi and Xie Cheng, who were still looking around in the city, shrank in fear.

"What's going on? What's the use of them firing cannons so far away..."

bang bang bang...

While Daruhuachi was still wondering, the cannonball had already hit the city wall, and rubble flew for a while. Daruhuachi saw a cannonball hit the battlement and knocked out a large piece of the battlement, and he opened his eyes in shock. His eyes were wide-eyed and his face was full of disbelief.

"Impossible! They fired the cannon a mile away, how could it be so powerful!"

Daruhuachi kept shouting that it was impossible, but the facts were before his eyes. The power of this shelling was far greater than that of the Ming army's artillery before. The previous shells hitting the battlements only knocked off some corners, but now this shell, Just kill a big chunk of it as soon as it comes up. If the bombardment continues, their city wall will be bald before long!

Without the protection of the battlements, most of the advantage of defending the city would be lost. How could they still defend it!

Hundreds of artillery shells kept falling. Beiyuan's defenders were unable to dodge, and were unfortunately beaten to pieces. Others reacted faster. The soldiers hiding behind the battlements turned pale when they saw the power of the shells. The battlements in front of them can no longer bring them a sense of security.

"Sir, come down quickly!"

Xie Cheng was lying on the ground, his face covered in blood. A piece of brick that flew up just now hit his face and shaved off a piece of his face.

"Okay, then surrender!"

Daruhuachi hesitated for a moment and then agreed dejectedly.

Facing such artillery fire, he couldn't even hold on for a few more days. What could he do if he didn't surrender?

When Xie Cheng heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately shouted: "Hurry up and hang up the white flags!"

Boom boom boom...

However, he was answered by another burst of artillery fire. Just as the two of them said these words, the second round of artillery fire from the Shenji Battalion had arrived.

At this time, even Daruhuachi collapsed on the ground.

"Impossible...impossible..."

Because Li Wei ordered to focus fire on the two of them, after the second round of shelling, a lot of the battlements within a range of about 30 meters near them had been destroyed, and the city towers were also crumbling under the shelling.

Boom boom boom...

bang bang bang...

After three rounds of shelling, the sound of artillery finally stopped for a moment.

Xie Cheng lay on the ground and glanced at Daruhuachi, who had turned into a pile of minced meat. He was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder split apart: "Hurry up and hang up the white flag!!"

After saying that, he suddenly heard movement above his head. When he looked up, he saw that the city gate tower was overwhelmed and slowly fell down...
