Chapter five hundred and fiftieth eight: breaking the city is imminent
Rumble
The giant cannon made a loud noise, and then the earth began to tremble.
A huge shell directly crossed the wilderness, crossed the city walls, and smashed into the city.
"Cough cough" The General of the Central Army was embarrassed for a moment, and his target was the city wall, but it seemed a little biased. He quickly ordered someone to recalibrate it, and Qin Shaoyou was just smiling at this.
When he fell to this point, Fang Jing came with a few personal soldiers and said, "Your Highness, someone is asking for a visit."
Someone
Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but smile: "People? Who are you? At this time, I don't have the heart to meet anyone."
Fang Jing glanced left and right and lowered her voice: "It's the people in this city."
Qin Shaoyou was silent for a moment, as if he was interested, and said, "Oh? Is that right? Then you have to go and meet him."
He hurried to the central army tent with Fang Jing, and indeed saw a middle-aged man who looked like a soldier waiting anxiously here. When he saw Qin Shaoyou, he hurriedly fell to the ground: "I have seen Your Highness"
When Qin Shaoyou heard his accent, he knew that he was a serious Chang'an native, and the Guanzhong people were always more energetic than people from other places.
He looked at the man and showed a smile. This man was a little short and fat, about forty years old, with a calm expression on his face and a little unpredictable in his eyes. He was obviously a person who had experienced many things. He was wearing the armor of the defenders in the city. Of course, he could not be an unknown man as simple as this. Qin Shaoyou said slowly: "Who asked you to come?"
The man raised his eyes and looked at Qin Shaoyou deeply. The two of them collided with each other, as if they could get a lot of information from each other's eyes.
Seeing this, Fang Jing consciously walked out of the tent. There were more than a dozen personal guards at the door. He waved his hand: "You all retreat, come back after a stick of incense."
The personal guards retreated, and Fang Jing stood alone at the door of the big tent, pressing the hilt in his hand, acting as the responsibility of the guard.
Behind his head, he heard a vaguely whisper: "There is already a quick report to the court. There will be a fast horse imperial edict. If it arrives at most, the situation will be urgent for only four or five days. The court will not sit idly by and ignore what will your highness do at that time?"
"Is your Highness a serious crime to rebel? The hearts of the world are not in your highness. Your Highness should prepare for the future."
Occasionally, Qin Shaoyou's voice came out: "Why do I believe you, I can do it with Wei Hongmin and Wang Fangyi?"
Fang Jing narrowed his eyes. He was not very interested in the conversation inside the account. When the man slowly walked out, the man hurriedly bowed to Fang Jing with a smile. Fang Jing just nodded to him, and then a personal soldier invited him.
Fang Jing arrived in the tent, but Qin Shaoyou seemed to be in a much better mood. He slowly said, "Wei Hongmin went to the court to ask for help. Fang Jing, do you think we can take down Weizhou City in the past few days?"
Fang Jing did not dare to neglect and hurriedly said, "I will do my best."
"Ha" Qin Shaoyou laughed and said, "Of course the Shen Ce Army should do its best. Oh, you should speed up the attack on the city, I want to go to meet the emperor."
The shelling of a whole morning made the whole city of Weizhou even more panic.
Especially the sound of the giant cannon was even more terrifying. A section of the city wall in the south had begun to collapse under repeated bombardment.
This has made Wang Fangyi very anxious, and what is even more troublesome is to block the gap. He wanted to recruit people to repair the city wall urgently, but unfortunately he had no way to find a man.
This disintegrating military morale made him feel relieved and he could do nothing about it.
Rumors in the city have begun to intensify, and there are all kinds of news. Some say that the Shence Army has received reinforcements, and there are already 100,000 outside the city. From time to time, some say that the Shence Army has already invaded the city. As a result, most of them are scaring themselves, but they are in trouble.
The official army, who already felt that he was in a desperate situation, suddenly became a riot. Not only did he not obey Wang Fangyi's control, but his own officials could not restrain themselves. There were countless fights between the various divisions.
Wang Fangyi arrived at Zhaoyi Mansion in anger. At noon, the cannon stopped. He consciously should have met with a few governors. If he could not get their absolute support, the defense in the city would be difficult to persist.
After all, the city wall that is about to collapse is afraid that it will not last tomorrow. At that time, the Shence Army will definitely attack from that gap. If the defenders are willing to unite and be prepared to face the battle, it is only a gap. The Shence Army's horses cannot be deployed, so it is not enough to be fatal. As long as the dispatch is properly, there will be no big problems.
But it's still the same way, so it's hard to say.
When he entered the central hall, he saw Wei Hongmin having tea with several governors, and he stepped forward to salute Wei Hongmin.
Wei Hongmin took the lead and said, "What's the situation now? Alas, the thunder that had been thunder for a whole morning really makes me unable to sleep or eat. Governor Fang, there will be no mistakes."
Wang Fangyi was very rude, and he did not report good news or bad news. He had to tell the seriousness of the situation directly. Only in this way can the major governors do their best. So he said: "Now the morale of the army is shocking, and there are more and more riots. Moreover, the Shen Ce army is very anxious to attack the city. They are using firearms. I am very worried about this. Mr. Wei, I will open the skylight and speak out. The current situation is getting more and more. If this continues, I am afraid that the city will not be able to be defended. Oh, I can't continue like this."
Wei Hongmin's face turned pale. He originally wanted to get some comfort from Wang Fangyi's mouth, but he didn't expect that the situation was even more unoptimistic than he thought. Even Wang Fangyi was not sure. Is this Weizhou City of course going to fall?
At this time, he thought that the memorial was afraid that it was still far from Chang'an, and suddenly he felt that the distance could not save the near fire. So he couldn't help but sigh and said after a long time, "Governor Wang thinks he can hold on for a few days?"
Wang Fangyi glanced at him and said, "If you continue like this, you will not last for three days."
