The knight on the horse didn't care about the sweaty body of the mount under his crotch, even though the horse's speed was about to reach its peak, he couldn't help using the whip and stirrups to urge his beloved silent comrade in the sun to let it run faster.

The horse couldn't bear the pain of getting off the horse, and ran forward in a hurry, and the wind brought it tore the recognition flag on the knight's back.

"Whether this guy lost his mind or took the wrong medicine, he is not afraid to turn around and kill the horse when he runs like this, and let the adults blame him for eating the army stick!" The soldiers looked at the distant figure of the knight, and whispered at the post.

"Urgent report! Get out of the way!"

The knight pulled down the recognition flag on his back, and shouted loudly to the sentinels on duty at the gate of the camp in the distance.

On the recognition flag, beside the yellow flame, there is a word "letter" on the yellow heart on the red background. These are soldiers who pass correspondence documents to and from various places.

The sentinels on duty hurriedly removed the horse-repelling gun array placed at the gate of the camp, revealing a passage through which a war horse could pass.

The knight galloped to the front of Wang Bao's big tent, and then he pulled back the horse vigorously. The man and the horse panted heavily, and the knight stopped for a while, and rushed into Wang Bao's big tent with the urgent mail in his hand.

"Report! The reinforcements dispatched by General Ha Tinh's Mansion have arrived at Haiphong Port! The leader Mo Yu, please quickly set up artillery fortresses, and the soldiers will not hold the funeral until the situation stabilizes. However, the preliminary preparations for this matter still need It was quietly raised, so there was a matter of purchasing white cloth for the stewards in the homes of the big officials in the city!

After learning that the navy of the South China Army that blocked the Honghe River to the mouth of the sea had replaced the main gunboats with some small boats, Emperor Zheng believed that his beloved minister Zheng Zhang should have succeeded!

"Pass the decree! Zheng Zhang is loyal to the royal family, and he can be a model for important ministers. He will take care of the funeral with the gift of the emperor!"

"Give the title of Loyalty King! Hereditary no replacement!"

"Set up an altar in the city, officials and clans at all levels, go to condolences."

"Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, below me, I will be a vegetarian for three days, to comfort my loyal soul!"

"Another 200 million mu of land on the north bank of the Lingjiang River will be given to comfort the loyal souls!"

Just when Emperor Zheng used a bunch of fictitious and real ones to pay homage to Zheng Zhang who had made great contributions to him, Wang Bao, who was eager to see, finally waited for Mo Yu.

"Tell me! What happened in He Jing's mansion?!"

Seeing that all the troops who came to ascend the dragon were all wrapped in black gauze on their left arms, their spear points were wrapped with white cloth strips, and their helmets were all tied up with white cloth with red tassels, Wang Bao's heart couldn't help but twitch. sink.

"My lord was assassinated!"

On that day, Zheng Zhang knelt outside the general's mansion and begged for several days, willing to sacrifice himself for the crime. He only asked the guarding Han army to forgive the Zheng family lineage.

"As a result, this fellow, when he saw the general, he violently hurt others without saying a few words!" Mo Yu gritted his teeth and was filled with resentment when he remembered what happened that day.

"Wait!" Holding the wine glass, Wang Bao listened to Mo Yu's description of the situation that day, and always felt that there was something wrong. Ironware, what did you do?!"

"That guy Zheng Zhang! You are so cunning! When he was young, he had contacts with people from Tianzhu, and he learned how to manipulate snakes and insects from the Miao people, and bought a poisonous snake from the mountain people near Hejing. , use drugs to make it sleepy, hide it close to your body, pass through our inspection, and when the lord is interviewed, use drugs to revive the poisonous snake, and violently hurt people!"

"Is the lord injured!?"

"Although the lord is fine, Miss Li, who was by his side at the time, was bitten by a poisonous snake because she stood in front of the lord. She couldn't be cured, and she has already passed away!"

When Wang Bao listened to the lectures of the gentlemen, when he talked about the subject of worrying about the subject, humiliating the subject, humiliating the subject and dying, he always didn't understand. What happened today made him completely understand the meaning of this sentence .

"How shall we be?"

He asked Mo Yu bitterly.

"I came here to help out this time, and I brought six cannons that my lord personally oversaw to forge. The lord ordered that our troops reach the day of the dragon rise, and three days later, we must break the city! He wants to slaughter all of Zheng's family in front of Zheng Zhang. young and old!"

After Shou Han confirmed that Xiuxiu was irretrievable, he whispered bitterly in front of Zheng Zhang, "You killed my woman today, and I will kill you in front of your eyes in the coming day. Let me kill them all together, and sacrifice myself for my woman!"

After finishing speaking, he hurried to the arsenal, leaving behind Zheng Zhang who was tied like a rice dumpling, gnashing his teeth and cursing under the fists and feet of the guards.

Shouhan gave full play to his temper of being a son of a son in two lifetimes, and ordered people to make iron molds (high manganese steel) that had just been smelted in a furnace according to the drawings he drew, and cast them into Six cannons that seemed very strange to others.

"According to the name of the master, two Kron guns, with 68-pound shells, weigh about 24 catties when replaced by Nanzhong. The maximum charge is eight and a half pounds, which is about seven catties and seven taels. The shotgun can be loaded at one time." Forty pieces. The gun body weighs 48 jin, and it can be towed by four horses. When the gun was tested on the day, the effective range was two miles, and the best should be about one mile. Four mortars, two of which are 48 pounds Mortars, two 162.5-pound mortars. The caliber of the 600-pound mortars is 200mm, the length of the gun body is [-]mm, and the weight is only [-] catties..."

Outside Thang Long City, Wang Bao and Mo Yu chose positions along the south gate wall of Thang Long for the six cannons newly cast by the South China Army. Mo Yu introduced the six cannons to Wang Bao while muttering. many parameters.In fact, at that time, Shou Han originally said it was a carron cannon, but, affected by the noisy environment, it became a carron cannon in the ears of others. That's right, it was specially cast to deal with Thanglong City!

Wang Bao's helmet was also tied with white cloth strips, and the personal guards behind him were all wrapped in black gauze.

On the top of the city in the distance, the soldiers of the Zheng family had their morale boosted after learning the news that the loyal and brave men of the Zheng family had succeeded in assassinating Li Shouhan. They carried countless defensive equipment to the city and prepared to fight The Central Committee inflicted heavy losses on the Nanzhong Army, and then launched an attack, sweeping the Nanzhong area.

"Boys in the city! Listen! Prepare to surrender honestly, your master is dead! Surrender quickly, our emperor is merciful and virtuous, and will surely forgive you for the crime of besieging Thang Long, and let you The official residence will remain in its original position, and your family and property will be preserved!"

A voice from the top of the city shouted loudly to the people below the city who were busy building the artillery fortress. The people below the city didn't even bother to lift their heads, just busy with their work.

"Send a few people and tell them that we are about to attack the city. If you are sensible, go home and hide! We don't intend to accept the surrender of the civil and military officials of the Zheng family!"

Mo Yu gritted her teeth resentfully. No matter how one said it, he and his brother Mo Jin were to blame for Xiuxiu's death.That's why he asked Ying to come here.

A sentry officer hurried over.

"My lords, according to the map marked by your lords, I will wait about 320 steps from the Thang Long city wall, select the area, and the construction of the fortress has been completed. The large and small artillery of the artillery team have also begun to go. Lord Huang of the artillery team asked for instructions. When will the fire be fired?"

Six artillery forts built of bamboo and wood, under the protection of the large and small artillery of Wang Bao's troops, appeared between Thang Long and the embankment on the right bank of the Red River.

The six artillery fortresses are only one mile away from the city wall, but under the protection of many large and small artillery, they pose a huge threat to the southern city wall of Thang Long.

The two fortresses were covered with bamboo and wood, and only a huge cannon mouth was exposed. The point of the cannon muzzle was the city wall of Shenglong.

The other four are completely opposite. They just surrounded the gun positions with bamboo and wood to prevent the shells from the counterattack from the city head from falling near the gun positions and causing damage to the gunners and artillery.The muzzle of the huge artillery is facing the sky at 45 degrees, like a prehistoric monster, trying to swallow the city not far away.

On November [-]th of the sixth year of Tianqi, the second day after Mo Yu's reinforcements arrived at Shenglong City with heavy artillery, the battle for Shenglong began.

The atmosphere under the city was extremely tense.

On the top of the city, hot oil was burned in a large pot, and the rolling logs collected from thousands of houses below the city, sheep's head stones, beams made of house beams, poles, rams, and wolf tooth cards were piled up on the top of the city. On, on the horse path, at the foot of the soldiers.

The soldiers were yelled at by the officers to eat before dawn, and after a full meal of oil and water, they were driven to the top of the city to wait for the attack of the South China Army under the city.

"Fight well! We beat off the bandits in Nanzhong, and we will go south to make a fortune!" The officers repeated the news that Li Shouhan was dead, and encouraged the soldiers to fight hard with large fields and countless goods in Nanzhong. enemy.

"Fuck you! Anyway, I've had enough for breakfast, so I won't be a starving ghost!" The soldiers looked at the densely packed cannons below the city, and their scalps couldn't help but tingle, "Get rich? It would be nice to be able to sell a coffin Already!"

Under the city, Wang Bao commanded the battalions, formed a battalion formation, and spread out an extremely wide front on both sides of the artillery position. Behind the artillery position were Mo Yu's two guard battalions.

In winter, the clouds are dense, as if the sky is extremely low, and the murderous atmosphere between the heaven and the earth is so overwhelming that one can't breathe, and one can't wait to rush to the front of the battle and shout loudly to be happy.

Looking at the red sun slowly rising in the eastern sky, Wang Bao and Mo Yu exchanged glances, then turned to look at the soldiers who had lined up on the left and right and sat on the ground waiting for orders with swords and guns in their hands. Wang Bao was satisfied. nod.

"start!"

Fang Dabao, the chief trumpeter, blew away the bronze horn with all his strength, and a sharp horn shot straight into the sky.Finally ignite the murderous aura in the air until it explodes!

"Load each cannon!"

The gunners working on the kelong cannon stuffed the silk powder bag containing seven catties and seven taels of gunpowder into the muzzle, and pushed the powder bag to the bottom of the gun bore with a push rod. The three gunners worked together to lift the lead bullet weighing sixty catties. When it reached the muzzle of the gun, it was stuffed in forcefully. Under the huge gravity of its own, the lead bullet slowly slid into the gun bore, and with a muffled sound, it came into contact with the charge pack.The gunner was still a little worried, so he pushed hard with the push rod to confirm that it had been tamped.

"Fire!"

"Tom!"

With a loud noise, the [-]-jin lead bullet flew out of the barrel under the action of a huge thrust, and hit the Thang Long City Wall not far away.

The cron cannon adopts a close approach and directly aims at the shooting, and the target of the muzzle is the middle of the city wall of Thang Long.

"Boom!"

The huge shell hit the city wall, making the hearts of the soldiers of the Zheng family army defending the city tight!There are such huge artillery in the world!

Immediately afterwards, "Boom!" Another Cron cannon was fired.

"Boom!" Another shell hit the city wall of Thang Long.
