Chapter 242: Annihilate 100,000 Enemies and Become Famous in One Battle

When the Nanyue Prince Li Shiyu ran back to the Yongzhou City Garrison in shock, before he had time to adjust his emotions, he received a report from the deputy general Shi Feng:

"Report--"

"Your Highness, the cavalry vanguard of the Longcheng rebel army has arrived outside the Yongzhou City!"

What?

Li Shiyu was startled at first, and then panted and said: "Why are you panicking? This prince still doesn't believe in evil. Can the Longcheng rebels continue to summon thunder to bombard Yongzhou City?"

Boom!

As soon as the voice fell, a thunder exploded, scaring Li Shiyu in the main hall of the garrison.

At this time, the Nanyue Prince had been scared by the sound of the red cannon and became a frightened bird.

However, Li Shiyu still held a glimmer of luck and did not believe that the Longcheng army could summon the "thunder" to Yongzhou City, and was ready to defend the city.

At the same time, outside Yongzhou City.

The two deputy generals of the Longcheng Southern Expedition Army, Fan Wuji and Tang Ziyi, who led the cavalry in pursuit, were blocked outside the city by the tall walls of Yongzhou.

The two led the Longcheng cavalry in pursuit this time, and they also reaped a lot of rewards, killing countless enemy soldiers along the way.

Except for the Nanyue Prince Li Shiyu, a group of Nanyue garrison generals and thousands of cavalry who successfully escaped back to Yongzhou City and saved their lives;

The 100,000 Nanyue wolf soldiers who took the initiative to fight outside the city were either killed by the Longcheng Southern Expedition Army cavalry who were chasing them, or fled to the mountains around the city. Most of the rest were strangled by the Shenji Camp and the infantry of the Southern Expedition Army.

At present, Yongzhou City is only an empty shell with more than 20,000 defenders left!

Another hour later, the 100 red-coated cannons of the Shenji Camp had all been transported to the outside of Yongzhou City by the baggage soldiers. They were adjusting the shooting angle and aiming the black muzzles at the tall walls of Yongzhou City.

At this time, Pang Xianchu, who had wiped out most of the Nanyue defenders, was in a good mood, and his attitude towards the Shenji Camp also changed 180 degrees.

He never dreamed that with the help of the red-coated cannons of the Shenji Camp, this encounter with the Nanyue defenders in Yongzhou would be won so easily.

The Longcheng Southern Expedition Army almost wiped out nearly 100,000 Nanyue defenders at a negligible cost of casualties.

On the battlefield, those Nanyue soldiers who were frightened by the red-coated cannons really had no fighting power and resistance at all. They would rather be killed by the soldiers of the Longcheng Army than be struck by thunder and become people who could not reincarnate.

After seeing the overwhelming advantage of the Red Cannon of the Shenji Camp on the battlefield, Pang Xianchu's first reaction was: With this magic weapon, the emperor can conquer the world!

"General, thank you and the brothers of the Shenji Camp for your hard work. After conquering Yongzhou City, this general will personally set up a celebration wine for the brothers of the Shenji Camp!"

At this time, Pang Xianchu came to the position of the Shenji Camp with a smile, and said to Qi Jiguang who was directing the soldiers to prepare for the bombardment of Yongzhou City: "General, this general has seen the power of this Red Cannon!"

"However, this general has a question. Is this Red Cannon named because of the red silk covering the barrel?"

Hmm?

Faced with Pang Xianchu's question, Qi Jiguang's expression froze. He didn't seem to understand why this cannon was called the Red Cannon?

After hesitating for a moment, he replied slowly: "General Pang, this cannon is named by the emperor himself as the red cannon. I don't know if it's because the barrel is covered with red silk."

"Maybe!"

Haha!

After saying that, the two smiled at each other, and everything was self-explanatory.

No matter whether it is a red cannon or a green cannon, as long as it can make the enemy cry and scream, it is a good cannon!

"Report-"

"Your Excellency, the governor, all 100 red cannons have been debugged and can be launched at any time to attack the city of Yongzhou. Please give instructions, governor!"

While speaking, a thousand households of the Shenji Camp came to the two and asked Qi Jiguang for the next battle order.

Hmm!

Qi Jiguang nodded, then turned to look at Pang Xianchu and said: "General Pang, how about the general order to bombard Yongzhou?"

Ah?

Pang Xianchu was startled at first, and then flattered and said: "General, can, can I?"

Qi Jiguang did not speak, but nodded with a firm look in his eyes.

Pang Xianchu was not hypocritical, and immediately recalled Qi Jiguang's password when firing the cannon, and ordered to the Shenjiying: "Shenjiying, fire the cannon!"

"Fire the cannon!"

Swish, swish, swish!

Boom!

Boom!

After a sharp sound of breaking through the air, hundreds of black shells fell on the walls of Yongzhou City, and the explosions were like thunder in the plain, one after another.

In an instant, the walls of Yongzhou City became a sea of ​​smoke and fire.

The Nanyue soldiers guarding the city seemed to be in a state of confusion in the face of this sudden bombardment, but they had no choice but to squat on the wall and cover their ears, waiting for the judgment of the red cannon.

In Yongzhou City, in the garrison mansion

When the sound of artillery fire on the city wall sounded, the Nanyue Crown Prince Li Shiyu, who had just calmed down, jumped up from the chair in the main hall.

Li Shiyu had a tearful expression on his face, and his heart was racing. He thought: I'm going to stop you, isn't it!

"Report--"

"Your Highness, the Dragon City rebels, the wizards of the Dragon City rebels are casting spells outside Yongzhou City, summoning thunder to strike the walls of my Yongzhou City;"

"The soldiers have never seen such a scene before, and they don't know how to deal with it for a while. Please give instructions to the prince!"

Soon, Deputy General Shi Feng took the latest military information and went to the garrison to report urgently.

The fact that a dignified third-rank deputy general was forced to not guard the city but act as a messenger and report to the prince in person is enough to show how much psychological shadow the red cannon has caused him!

Instructions, instructions!

Do you still need to think about it at this time? Run for your life!

Is it possible that you stay in this Yongzhou city and wait to be struck by lightning?

Li Shiyu was full of anger, but he didn't know how to vent it.

Finally, he said to his trusted general Shi Feng: "General Shi, the evil magic of the Longcheng bandit army is really powerful. This prince orders you to lead the death squad of the prince's mansion to protect this prince and return to the capital Yangcheng for further discussion;"

"This Yongzhou City must not be left!"

Deputy General Shi Feng was waiting for this sentence, and immediately bowed his hands and accepted the order and said: "I have received the order!"

After an incense stick of time, the Nanyue Prince Li Shiyu led thousands of his trusted death squads and fled from the north gate of Yongzhou City in a hurry, all the way to the capital Yangcheng.

After more than half an hour, the Longcheng Southward Expedition Army outside Yongzhou City finally climbed the wall of Yongzhou City with the assistance of the Shenjiying.

With the scarlet five-clawed golden dragon "Jin" flags hanging high on the walls of Yongzhou City, the important town of Yongzhou was finally conquered, blocking the Nanyue gate of the Longcheng Southward Expedition Army for nearly a month.

It took only four hours from the start of the encounter between the two sides to the capture of Yongzhou City.

Among them, two hours were because the Shenjiying had to push the red cannon weighing thousands of pounds to hurry.

The actual time of the siege was less than an hour.

It took one hour to capture a city with 100,000 defenders. This speed is the fastest in the siege record of the entire Longcheng army.

In the battle of Yongzhou, the Shenjiying became famous in one battle, and a new era of weapons was opened from then on.
