Please ask me to be the emperor

After "Purple Golden Liang" lost two arrow towers, its morale plummeted. Although he reluctantly launched several more attacks, they all failed. They had no choice but to retreat and give up their plan to continue attacking the city. Zhang Shun originally thought that this ugly "Zijin Liang" was going to lose his temper, but the guy actually laughed and said: "This Dao Jun is indeed quite capable. It seems that capturing this person and negotiating with Song Tongyin is just right. If he is a loser, I’m afraid the price still has to be paid!”

After hearing this, Zhang Shun thought to himself: This "Purple Gold Liang" is quite capable. He knows how to force a smile and boost morale, otherwise this battle would not have been fought. Sure enough, "Purple Golden Liang" stopped laughing and didn't even bother with dinner, letting "Optimus Prime", "Lao Huihui" and "Eight King Kong" who came to watch the battle go back to their homes to find their mothers. Zhang Shun didn't care, but he still followed the principle of "the thief will not miss the target". Before leaving, he sent Wukong to search for a long time, found the mandarin duck bullet fired by Douzhuang, and took it back to study.

As a result, Zhang Shun was not happy for long. As soon as he returned to the camp, he heard the unfortunate news: his fresh and hot artillery captain Zhang Wuhao died in battle. This was really making people laugh in front of others, and others laughed in hindsight. Zhang Shun had no choice but to ask what was going on.

It turns out that when the "Purple Golden Liang" was fighting at the west gate, Zhang Shun's soldiers were also idle at the east gate. According to Zhang Shun's plan, they asked Wei Congyi to go call the formation, and at the same time asked Zhang Wuhao to lead the artillery team to slowly bombard the Douzhuang city gate, so that everyone could practice their artillery skills and gain some artillery experience.

As a result, Douzhuang saw the large number of artillery at the east gate and misjudged the situation. He was afraid that this was the location of the main attack, so he sent heavy troops to guard it. In the morning, the sun rose from the east. The defenders were at a disadvantage and were beaten so hard by artillery that they could not lift their heads.

Therefore, some of the servant leaders thought in private: "If you defend for a long time, you will lose. Why not seize the opportunity and attack the opponent!"

Then Wei Congyi made the same mistake as before in "Purple Golden Liang". He never fought a siege and subconsciously ignored the influence of sunlight. After they had been showing off their power for a long time, the men and horses became slack and the sun rose high. Finally, the city gate opened and dozens of people rushed towards the cannon.

Wei Congyi reacted quickly and immediately judged that the enemy was trying to seize the artillery or destroy the artillery, so he quickly ordered rescue while he rushed into the enemy's position single-handedly. He swiped left and right, charging back and forth like a tiger among sheep. In each round, several people will be knocked down and one person will be stabbed to death. Even the servants of the Zhang family who were born in Liaodong couldn't help but cheer: "What a Lu Fengxian, he is so brave and unparalleled!".

Unfortunately, Wei Congyi's bravery caused trouble for Zhang Wuhao. Due to his laxity, he was caught off guard as soon as the artillery fired the shells. He neither has Wukong's bravery nor Zhang Shun's quick wit. His talent is only average, but fortunately he can react in a decent manner.

He immediately kept the gunners in place and asked them to reload quickly, while sending out escorts in time to resist the enemy for a while. When the gunner finished loading the shotshells and was about to fire, he found that Wei Congyi was sprinting back and forth on the enemy line, and he suddenly lost his mind.

If he fired the cannon and killed Wei Congyi, the popular figure in front of his lord, he would definitely not be able to escape the blame; if he didn't fire the cannon, Wei Congyi's subordinates would not have time to come over, and the dozen or so guards he sent would not be able to resist him. What should he do?

If Wei Congyi was commanding the artillery, he would have given the direct order to fire. No matter who came in, it was the best time to fire. If the commander was Chen Changzhen, he would have ordered the artillery to retreat and led his men to rush into the enemy's position to resist the enemy's attack.

Some of the commanders were Zhang Shun. If he felt that Wei Congyi could rush out, he would shout "Come and save me from Congyi." When Wei Congyi rushed over, he fired several cannons and destroyed the enemy directly.

If Zhang Shun felt that Wei Congyi couldn't break out of the crowd, he would shout: "Congyi, wait for me for a moment, and I will come to rescue you!" After the enemies surrounded Wei Congyi, he would fire several cannons to eliminate the enemies. As for Wei Congyi, I have fought for so many human shields for you. If you still can't survive, I can only say that God decides what you plan, and what you, Wei Congyi, are destined to do.

It's a pity that this Wu Hao didn't have Wei Congyi's ruthlessness, Chen Changzhen's sophistication, or Zhang Shun's cunning. He could only hesitate and hesitate. As a result, the enemy rushed up and surrounded him, and he was hacked to death with several knives. It's a pity that Zhang Wuhao didn't do a good job and ran out to earn some personal money. As a result, he didn't make any money and lost his life.

Wei Congyi was also surprised to see Zhang Wuhao missing, and quickly urged his subordinates to catch up and kill the Zhang family's servants. Then there were only a few people, but five or six guards, three or four gunners, and an artillery captain Zhang Wuhao were lost. Fortunately among the misfortunes, none of the artillery pieces were lost and they were all recaptured.

When Wei Congyi reported Zhang Shun, Zhang Shun was very angry. Then someone took off Wei Congyi's armor and struck him ten times with the cane. However, although Zhang Shun's modified version of the cane punishment was very painful, it did not hurt the muscles and bones. Wei Congyi was not seriously injured, and he had to pay tribute the next day.

Wei Congyi was originally a little worried that Zhang Wuhao, a veteran of Zhang Shun, would risk his life, but he was relieved after receiving a small punishment and a big warning.

Zhang Shun finished punishing Wei Congyi, but could not solve the problem, so he had to call all the gunners over. Excluding the guards, there were more than 20 people left. Zhang called them one by one to talk and conduct inspections. The result is that most of them are mediocre. Although they are a little smarter than ordinary people, there is nothing surprising about them.

A young man in his twenties dressed as a waiter came in. Zhang Shun saw his clear eyes and nimble hands and feet, and he became very fond of him. So Zhang asked him what he had learned about shooting cannons. The boy then explained in detail the method that Zhang Shun taught before, first aligning the left and right directions, and then adjusting the up and down angles.

Seeing that his understanding was very thorough, Zhang Shun felt that he still had more to say, so he continued to ask: "If the enemy is hiding behind the crenellations of the city wall, how should he shoot?"

The boy hesitated for a moment and said: "General, I haven't tried it, so I don't know if it will work. If you have to attack the enemy behind the crenel, I think you can raise the muzzle of the cannon and let the cannonballs fall from the sky. The enemy is better."

Zhang Shun's eyes lit up when he heard this. Isn't this the principle of ballistics or parabola? Ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty could think of this, and it was considered a blessing from God. Then he continued to ask: "How did you come up with this method?"

"It's not difficult. When I was a child, I liked to build bird's nests. Once there was a bird's nest built between thick branches. My slingshot kept hitting the branches and could not hit the nest. So I thought of a way to use stones. Throw it up and wait for it to hit the bird's nest when it falls. I think this artillery is not much different from me throwing rocks, and it should also be able to hit the enemy behind the crenel."
