Chapter eight hundred and seventy-eight bombarding the city
Young Master Liu held the cannon and looked up at Jiang Lei who had returned from Jani City: "Fifteen days?"
"Yes, Commander. The minister of Loulan Kingdom told the general that the King of Loulan will have to make a decision after half a month of careful consideration. After all, this is a state matter that cannot be decided hastily!"
With a clatter, Major Liu threw the chess piece on the chessboard: "Damn it, Qiao Loushan, does he think he is a domestic animation? He told me to wait for half a month, so I have to wait half a month!"
"ah?"
"Ah what? Isn't it normal that you can't understand the dialect in your hometown?"
Jiang Lei scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "Commander, what should we do next?"
Young Master Liu kicked the chessboard over with his kick. Since he was about to lose to Song Qing anyway, it shouldn't be a problem to take the opportunity to cheat.
"What can I do? I have to wait half a month for the day lilies to get cold. Qiao Loushan is obviously deliberately delaying the time to wait for the reinforcements to arrive. I am not afraid of their reinforcements. I don't have time to wait. I only need three hours to think about it."
It's time for Qiaoloushan's scout messengers to arrive at the other auxiliary cities of Loulan Kingdom. As soon as the time comes and you don't leave the city to surrender, I will immediately bombard Jani City!"
"General, do you want to inform me?"
"Tell me, are you so confused? Qiaolou Shan has no intention of surrendering at all. In that case, why did I have to wait for reinforcements to arrive? They attacked me from both sides, and then I directly captured the city of Jianni and threatened the emperor with his orders.
Isn’t it simpler for the princes?”
"Yes, the general is stupid and the commander-in-chief teaches him a lesson!"
"Jiang Lei, send orders to the three armies!"
"The end is here!"
"Han Peng was ordered to send out 10,000 cavalrymen to go around and lie in wait in the southwest corner of Shanni City. The scouts will continue to investigate. No one is allowed to go out of Shanni City to ask for help from other countries. He will be detained if he can. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed on the spot!"
"Got the order!"
"Cheng Kai!"
"The end is here!"
"The swords, shields, archers, and catapults are all under your command. I will attack the city as soon as my command arrives!"
"Got the order!"
"Song Qing!"
"The end is here!"
"Lead 500 chariot troops in two lines to guard against the enemy cavalry coming out of the city gates on both sides. Once discovered, the horse iron chain company will cooperate with 30,000 light cavalry and heavy cavalry to capture all the enemy cavalry!"
"Got the order!"
"General Zha Sang listens to the order!"
"The end is here!"
"My Chinese is getting better and better. Keep working hard. After suppressing the defenders on the city wall, immediately lead your soldiers to attack the city!"
"Got the order!"
"Let's all prepare for war!"
"I will finally retire!"
After everyone left, Young Master Liu walked to the sand table in the main tent and stopped. On the sand table, there were already terrain graphics of thirteen countries in the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions. The entire east mirror was displayed under Liu Mingzhi's eyes.
Show their appearance.
Murong Shan poured a cup of tea for Young Master Liu and handed it over.
"Don't put too much pressure on me. I still want to see you in high spirits when you were in Ganzhou. Now you are under too much pressure and you look a little haggard!"
Liu Mingzhi was startled and took the teacup handed over by Murong Shanga and took a few sips: "We can't rush it. I'm really afraid it will take two or three years to regain the Western Region!"
"Isn't it normal for two or three years? Throughout history, there are many famous generals who went out to fight for more than ten years. The terrain of the Western Region is complex and criss-crossed, and the country is entangled. Let alone two or three years, I would have expected even seven or eight years.
!This is not something that can be rushed!”
"You know you may have to fight for seven or eight years, but you still follow me on the Western Expedition? The conditions are so difficult, so you are not afraid of being wronged!"
Murong Shan looked faintly at the boundless yellow sand outside the big tent: "I don't know why I came to the Western Expedition with you. I'm afraid that if I don't come and see you again, you will be a woman in her thirties. I'm older than you."
I'm seven years old, you're only in your early twenties, I'm already old, heroes grow old, beauties turn gray, it's a pity in the world, beauty is in the mirror, flowers are in the tree, I would rather you watch me grow old than the next time you see me.
I will be old by then!"
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and patted Murong Shan's wrist: "Girl, put on my Liu family's jade bracelet. Even if you become a ghost, you will have to enter the Liu family's ancestral graves. You will never be able to escape from my hands in this life!"
"Everything in the world is unpredictable. The enemies at the beginning turned out to be confidants who talked about everything. This is something I never thought of!"
"What kind of soulmates? They are husband and wife!"
"confidant!"
"Couple!"
"confidant!"
"We are both close friends and husband and wife, okay? If we are not going to war, I will have to let you have two big fat boys for the old man to enjoy."
Murong Shan gave Young Master Liu a faint look and said, "What's the use of being big? If you can't stand it up, it's still useless!"
Young Master Liu looked embarrassed: "Can I think that you are insulting me?"
"My aunt is talking about a fat boy who can't stand at thirty. What are you talking about? Dirty, shameful to be with!"
Murong Shan took Young Master Liu's tea cup and walked out of the tent, leaving Young Master Liu with a twitching corner of his mouth secretly feeling sad.
"Shan'er, you have become a bad gangster. You used to be very serious!"
"My aunt was born a gangster, why do you say that my aunt became a gangster!"
"Hey, you live and eat with me all the time, so why do you imitate others? Whoever led my good Shan'er to bad things, I have to beat him with ten sticks!"
Young Master Liu muttered a few words and then stared at the sand table and fell into deep thought.
With the sound of three gongs, Mr. Liu suddenly stood up from his chair, with a sharp look in his eyes, tied the Heavenly Sword around his waist and walked towards the outside of the big tent.
Three gongs signified that three hours had passed. Young Master Liu had long known that it was impossible for Qiao Loushan to leave the city and surrender, and he had no intention of peacefully capturing Jani City!
"Bang the drum!"
"Got the order!"
"The commander-in-chief has ordered, beat the drum!"
"The last general Jiang Lei meets the commander-in-chief!"
"Prepare fifty torches!"
"Got the order!"
"The last general Song Qing and Cheng Kai met with the commander-in-chief. War preparations are complete and the city can be attacked at any time!"
"Follow me to the Chinese Army!"
"Got the order!"
A group of personal guards held up stainless steel shields to protect Young Master Liu and slowly walked towards the Chinese army.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the flags flying in Janni City and the crowds of people and sneered. He knew that Qiao Loushan had no intention of surrendering.
Stopping, Mr. Liu looked at the fifty cannons arranged according to his instructions and the stacked boxes of shells, and handed the telescope to the soldiers.
"Brother, cover your ears!"
"Ah? You are telling me this as a brother!"
"Bullshit, cover your ears!"
"Why? I don't!"
"There is no reason, if I ask you to cover it, just cover it!"
"I don't, I won't do it if I don't have anything!"
"Song Qing, look at the way you are seeking death, okay, damn, don't regret that I didn't remind you!"
"If you're handsome, I'll cover it up, but if you're a brother, I won't!"
Young Master Liu looked at the arrogant Song Qing jokingly and shook his head helplessly: "Jiang Lei, order all the guards to open their mouths and cover their ears!"
"Got the order!"
"Song Qing, are you serious about not covering up?"
"I won't!"
"Okay, just don't wet your pants later!"
"Jiang Lei! Order the brother to put in his earplugs and open his mouth wide, wait for the assistant's signal, then light the torch and aim it at the cannon twister on the cannon!"
The fifty cannons had already been loaded with shells according to Master Liu's instructions, and they almost started firing!
"Got the order!"
During the tea time, Young Master Liu put on the cotton plug and waved the command flag in his hand: "You idiot, light a fire for me and fire!"
The artillery assistants immediately pushed the soldiers holding the torches, and then the artillery fired and hissed. Song Qing curiously looked at the burning cannon with an extremely curious expression.
Ever since the army left Ganzhou in the west, he had been curious about these bulky-looking cannons. He didn't know what these things were used for!
boom
As if thunder exploded in his ears, Song Qing's body trembled and he almost sat down on the ground without being frightened. His ears started to buzz. The soldiers of the three armies also trembled and looked in the direction of the artillery.
Mr. Liu's mathematical ability is not enough to calculate how fast the cannonball flies.
In the blink of an eye, there were roars and screams from the mud city wall, thick smoke billowed, and the crenellations of the city wall collapsed in several places.
The soldiers of the three armies under the city wall witnessed with their own eyes the defenders of Jani City flying directly out of the city wall and falling towards the city.
Young Master Liu looked at the damage caused by the artillery with satisfaction, then changed the black flag in his hand and waved it.
"Change to the shells and fire!"
The thundering sound of artillery was heard again, and in just a moment, there was another rumbling explosion in the city of Zhanni, and the smoke and dust billowed, blocking the sight!
"Hehehehehehe"
Song Qing looked like a madman and grinned stupidly while staring closely at the command flag in Young Master Liu's hand.
"It turns out that the cannon on the chessboard is like this. Did I think it was a catapult?"
Song Qing quietly approached Young Master Liu, grabbed the flag in Young Master Liu's hand and snatched it away!
Young Master Liu looked at Song Qing with a slanted smile: "Vice General Song, what do you want to do?"
"What? What's for dinner? Whatever you say you'll eat!"
"What do you want me to do by grabbing my flag?"
Song Qing took out his ears: "No problem, if you say you want to eat white-flour steamed buns, just eat white-flour steamed buns!"
Young Master Liu folded his hands in front of his chest and looked at Song Qing who was gently stroking Ling Qi cautiously, then he kicked him with a smile on his lips!
Song Qing glared at Young Master Liu: "Why are you kicking me?"
Young Master Liu glanced at the command flag in Song Qing's hand and mouthed it towards Jianni City. Song Qing immediately nodded excitedly and understood. He still heard Young Master Liu's first order.
Song Qing looked at Jannicheng holding the command flag and giggled happily before waving the command flag in his hand twice, quite like the aura of Lao Li commanding the second battalion commander back then.
"Jiang Lei, you're such a fool to fire on this deputy general!"
