Liu Mingzhi glanced at the soldiers of the three armies who were lining up to prepare for battle, and walked towards the city gate with the Heavenly Sword and the horse in hand.
Looking at the figures of the soldiers shuttled endlessly on the city wall, Liu Mingzhi knew that this battle was most likely unavoidable.
Stopping outside the range of the arrow, Liu Mingzhi gathered some inner strength and shouted loudly towards the city wall.
"Jingyuan Hou, my king's words yesterday are still effective. There is still room for discussion on opening the city gate at this moment. Otherwise, if the three rounds of drums fall, I will order the three armies to enter the city with blood-stained swords."
Jingyuan Hou Chen Jin slowly leaned out of the battlements and looked at Liu Mingzhi in the distance.
"Your Majesty, think twice. Now that Duke Yong'an and Guan Ninghou have entered the palace to be sanctified, the court will give you a fair and just explanation.
I hope the prince will take care of the common people in the world, the people in the city, and not to engage in war rashly because of the kindness of the former emperor!
Your Majesty, we have been serving as officials in the same court for more than ten years. I hope that your Majesty will stop your troops for the sake of this old man's shallow face!"
Liu Mingzhi listened to Jingyuan Hou's old words of admonishment, shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked towards his own army camp.
Jingyuan Hou Chen Jin didn’t expect Liu Mingzhi to be so decisive, so he looked at Liu Mingzhi’s back and sighed heavily.
At this moment, he fully understood in his heart that the relationship between the imperial court and King Bingjian was already at the same level, and there was no possibility of relaxation.
Liu Mingzhi stopped in front of the formation of the soldiers of the three armies and waved the flag in his hand fiercely.
“Send the order and set up artillery to break the city!”
The messenger hesitated for a moment, then rode towards Jiang Lei's artillery position, holding the flag.
“The commander-in-chief has given orders to set up artillery and attack the city.”
Jiang Lei looked at the arriving messengers, glanced at the city wall with complex eyes, raised his fingers and began to measure the approximate distance.
“Ten cannons were aimed at the city gate at a half-elevation angle and loaded with solid shells.
Thirty gates each to the southeast, and the southwest city wall is spread out in a line, loaded with explosive ammunition."
The artillerymen around Jiang Lei looked at each other and looked towards Jiang Lei.
“General, do you really want to deploy the artillery array mercilessly? The guards on the city wall were our soldiers who lived and died together in the past.
If you show no mercy, the casualties in one round of artillery fire will be at least a hundred brothers."
Jiang Lei looked at the hesitant expressions of the gunners around him and sighed silently.
“Brothers, the military order is like a mountain!
Let’s set up the artillery array!”
“Get the order!”
Within about a moment of burning incense, hundreds of gunners skillfully set up the artillery, and dozens of artillery barrels flashing with cold light were aimed at the tall city wall of the north gate of the capital at different angles!
“Report to the commander immediately. The artillery array has been deployed and can be fired at any time.”
"yes!"
“Report to the commander-in-chief, the artillery array has been deployed and can be fired at any time!”
Liu Mingzhi put down the telescope in his hand and looked at the surrounding generals.
“Chu Jing, Feng Buer listens to the order.”
“The end is here!”
"Each of you will lead two battalions of soldiers and horses to the north, northeast, and northwest sides of the city for roundabout reconnaissance. Once Yong'an Gong's soldiers and horses come to break the formation, immediately cover up and stop them."
“Get the order!”
“Ning Chao, Ye Baotong listen to the order!”
“The end is here!”
“You two each lead two battalions of soldiers and horses, launch a feint attack at the east and west gates, and disperse the garrison on the northern city wall!”
“Get the order!”
“Cheng Kai listens to the order!”
“The end is here!”
“You lead two battalions of troops and launch a feint attack in the south of the city, mainly bombarding the city gates with artillery fire. Share the artillery fire from the Forbidden Army guards on the city wall to fight back, and gain opportunities for Jiang Lei’s artillery phalanx.”
“Get the order!”
“Han Peng!”
“The end is here!”
“Don’t forget your mission!”
“Get the order!”
“Disperse, the drums fall and attack the city!”
“With your order, we must retreat!”
“Baoyu!”
“The end is here!”
“You and I each hold half of the troops and horses on the east and west walls of the city gate, commanding the brothers to attack the city.”
“Get the order!”
Amid the rumbling of war drums, the soldiers and horses of the Six Guards of the New Army, under the leadership of their respective generals, gathered towards the four gates of the capital, looking for the most suitable location to launch an siege.
The third wave of war drums finally sounded, mixed with the sound of the trumpet to start the battle.
Liu Mingzhi held up his telescope and stared intently at the Forbidden Army guards on the city wall, silently calculating their main defensive positions.
It takes about two cups of tea.
The sound of war drums finally subsided, leaving only the melodious and deep sound of horns wafting inside and outside the capital.
Liu Mingzhi put down the telescope in his hand and breathed out gently, frowning and waving the flag in his hand heavily.
“Send the order, beat the drums, and attack the city with the whole army!”
“The commander-in-chief has given orders, beat the drums, and attack the city with the whole army!”
“The commander-in-chief has given orders, beat the drums, and attack the city with the whole army!”
“The commander-in-chief has given orders, beat the drums, and attack the city with the whole army!”
Hundreds of messengers shouted loudly, and the war drums that had subsided in front of the Chinese army's formation sounded again, rapid but full of rhythm.
In a short while, the rhythmic sound of war drums also sounded outside the remaining three walls of the capital. Within a few ups and downs, the sounds of war drums outside the four walls of the capital coincided with each other, tacitly encouraging the morale of the soldiers of the three armies to attack the city.
.
In an instant, with the sound of war drums, the entire capital was filled with a chilling atmosphere.
The more than 200,000 soldiers of the Six Guards of the New Army immediately followed their commander's orders and started to attack in close coordination.
Jiang Lei looked into the mirror. The sword and shield soldiers were covering the archers, and they were slowly approaching the city wall at a steady pace. He put down the telescope in his hand and raised the flag in his hand.
“Three test firings.”
The gunners pursed their lips and looked at each other, then put the torch in their hands toward the barrel with mixed feelings.
The capital city, which was filled with a chilling atmosphere, suddenly heard the dull booming sound of artillery fire, and dozens of flaming artillery shells were fired towards the city wall.
in a blink.
The sound of exploding cannonballs and dazzling fires were heard from the tall city gates and majestic city walls. Smoke suddenly billowed up, mixed with the shrill screams of the Forbidden Army soldiers.
The war was about to break out under the artillery fire test of the Six Guards of the New Army.
Jing Yuanhou huddled behind the battlements, looking around at the smoke and dust on both sides of the city walls that obscured his sight, gritting his teeth and waving the command flag in his hand.
"The artillery fires back, blowing up their artillery for me, and the archers are ready. Once the rebels approach, they will be covered with arrows!"
“Get the order!”
Everyone knows that there is no room for easing the current situation. What will follow is a life-and-death battle in which you will die or I will die.
Jiang Lei held up a telescope and looked at the effect of the solid bullets hitting the city gate, and knew that the city gate hole had been sealed.
“For the ten artillery in the middle, lower the elevation by three fingers, and raise the elevation angle of the remaining artillery by two fingers every other one, and fire three rounds of explosive shells rapidly.”
“Get the order!”
After the first wave of artillery test firing, the gunners also understood that the rebellion was a foregone conclusion, and began to adjust the angle of the artillery intensively and go all out to bombard the city wall.
“Yu Bo listens to the order!”
“The end is here!”
“Immediately adjust the thirty artillery pieces on your position. Once the defenders on the city wall return artillery fire, immediately find the location of the artillery pieces and suppress the artillery fire!”
“Get the order!”
Sure enough, the moment Jiang Lei finished speaking.
The artillery on the city wall was also flashing with fire, and the artillery shells were bombarding directly towards Jiang Lei's artillery position.
“Fire!”
The two armies have not yet faced each other, but the artillery duel is already being staged fiercely.
After the sword and shield soldiers advanced hundreds of steps, they watched the guards on the city wall stop in place. The swords in their hands struck the shields in their hands steadily and powerfully, completely crushing the imperial guards on the city wall based on their morale.
At the same time, the sound of rushing and killing also sounded from eight directions in the four directions of the capital, southeast, northwest and northwest.
“Report! Commander-in-Chief, the soldiers and horses under the command of Duke Yong’an and the soldiers and horses under the command of King Zhao have already charged towards the rear camps of our army.”
Liu Mingzhi looked at his own soldiers and horses who had temporarily gained an advantage in the artillery duel, and looked at the scouts on the horse with a calm expression.
“Send the order and meet the enemy according to the plan!”
“Get the order!”
The rhythm of the war drums suddenly changed under Liu Mingzhi's order. The soldiers and horses in the four directions outside the capital immediately changed the way they attacked the city according to the signals transmitted by the war drums.
