Seeing the Song army pushing out more than twenty cannons, less than a mile away from the city gate, slowly erecting them. Amali didn't know the details and asked the people around him: "What is this? I heard that the Song army has cannons. Is this a cannon? How to use this cannon?"

Who in the city knew about it? They shook their heads.

Zhang Ji personally directed, loaded the medicine, and put on the bullets. The soldiers lit the torch and raised it. With a command, they lit the medicine twist.

Amali and others stood in the tower, watching Song Jun's actions, and were confused for a moment. Since the Song Jun said that he wanted to fight, he would not arrange for people to attack the city, pile up some iron pipes and place them under the city, doing this and that, and I don't know what to do.

While the people on the top of the city were confused, suddenly there was a loud noise from the cannon under the city, and thick smoke rose. When Amali was confused, he felt his feet shaking and almost fell to the ground. Then, a scream came from his ears, and many people were injured.

The city was destroyed. After such a round of artillery bombardment, the entire city wall was shaking. The Gaochang soldiers on the city were frightened and ran around screaming, immediately forming a mess.

The Song army was trained and explained by veterans from Hequ Road. They didn't know how many cannons were fired. Regardless of the situation at the city, under the command of the commander, they continued to load drugs and reload them in a very good manner. After a short while, the commander ordered, the second round of cannons fired to the city gate.

Amali looked at the city wall where the cracks had been cracked, and couldn't help but feel terrified, "Don't beat me, I'll surrender, we'll surrender!"

Seeing that there was no movement outside the city, he no longer cared about his demeanor, so he pulled to the top of the city and whispered: "We have surrendered, don't beat him!"

Zhang Sheng said to Zhang Ji: "The city lord was lying on the top of the city and shouting, "Are you going to surrender? If you surrender, you can't attack again!"

Zhang Ke was nervous and focused his whole body on the bombarded city gate. After hearing Zhang Sheng's words, he looked up at the top of the city and saw Amali lying there and shouting. Just as he was about to instruct not to set off the guns, he heard a loud bang, and the third round of cannons had already been bombarded. With this sound, the long-destroyed Puchang City Gate could no longer support it, and fell down with a section of the city wall next to it.

The ready infantry looked at Zhang Ji and just waited for his order to lead the army into the city.

Amali at the top of the city was stunned. He never thought that the city gate would be broken in just a short while. He had less than a hundred people, so how could he fight against the army outside the city? He lay in Wanglou and shouted for surrender.

Zhang Ke ordered the order to stop firing, looked up at Amali who was shouting surrender in the building, and was stunned for a while, saying, "The person who sent the order just now went up to ask the lord on the city tower if he would surrender? If he was willing to surrender, let him line up the army in the city and leave the city!"

The personal soldiers agreed and took a few soldiers forward, whispered to Amali on the city tower, "City Lord, are you willing to surrender?"

Amali nodded desperately: "I am willing, I am willing! How can I compete with the army in my city? I am willing to surrender!"

The personal soldiers whispered: "If you are willing to surrender, you can line up the troops in the city and line out of the city. If there are not many, we will attack the city!"

Amali looked at the damaged city gate below, and there were dead and injured soldiers guarding the city around him, sighed inwardly and said, "Just wait a moment."

After saying that, he ordered his subordinates to gather the soldiers in the city and go out with him to welcome the Song army into the city. At this time, there was no way to surrender. He thought that Puchang City could hold on for a few days, and waited for Gaochang to send reinforcements, but he didn't expect that the Song army would collapse the city gate with two cannons. How could this battle be fought? Without the protection of the city, thousands of Song troops outside also killed the city with empty hands.

Seeing that Amali on the top of the city was willing to surrender, Zhang Ke said to Zhang Sheng: "The first battle to enter Gaochang was unexpectedly so smooth!"

Zhang Sheng said: "I'm afraid that there has been no major war here for one or two hundred years. The officials and the people do not know the swords and weapons. In addition, we use guns and cannons, which they have never seen before. How can we continue to fight this battle? Be cautious, Gaochang should not have major wars."

Zhang Ke nodded: "It should be so. I heard that Gaochang is the case except Gaochang City and Jiaohezhou City, so many of the remaining cities are like this. Puchang is still intact. After conquering this place and then attacking other places, it is easier."

Puchang City is not big, and it won’t take much time. Amali brought dozens of soldiers from the city, left the city gate, and stood at the door to salute Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ke looked at it and said to Zhang Sheng: "Why are there so few people in such a city? Is it a fraud?"

Zhang Sheng said: "It's hard to say. How many soldiers can be supplied by thousands of families in this city? We have come too late. They have not recruited the people. I think so many normal soldiers are there. In case of precautions, I will first conquer their swords and guns and send a commander into the city."

Zhang Ji nodded and said yes, and ordered Gaochang troops there to fire their swords and guns, and the city lord approached and spoke.

Amali came to Zhang Ji, bowed and said, "In Xia Amali, he is the lord of Puchang City. I wonder who is coming?"

Zhang Ji was a little impatient when he heard this. The personal soldiers who had just gone to call explained clearly, why is the city lord still not clear? He said loudly: "I am Zhang Ji, the commander of the Anbei Army under the rule of Hequ Road in the Song Dynasty. He is here to recover the lost territory in the Western Regions!"

After hearing Zhang Ji's words harshly, Amali hurriedly saluted: "I don't see the envoy and don't know the general is coming, so don't blame him for offending."

Zhang Ji said: "Since you are willing to surrender, I ask you, are all the soldiers and horses brought out of the city?"

Amari said, "Go back to the general, all the soldiers and horses in this city are here. I wonder what else to give?"

Zhang Ke said: "I ordered them to put down their swords and guns first and wait aside! Are the soldiers here all locals?"

Amari said: "Go back to the general, they are all from this city. Including me, they are also from this city."

Zhang Ke asked in a little puzzled manner, "Are there no one from Gaochang in your city?"

Amali shook his head: "General, we pay taxes in time every year, so naturally no Gaochang people come."

Zhang Ku said to Zhang Sheng: "It's different from the Central Plains everywhere here. No matter what, send people into the city first!"

After saying that, he called a battalion commander and brought five hundred soldiers into the city to investigate the city lord's mansion. At the same time, he ordered Gaochang soldiers who left the city to put down their swords and guns and tie them up willingly. The Song army promised that they would not massacre prisoners.

After not long after, the commander who entered the city left the city again and crossed his hands at Zhang Ji: "General, I have searched, there are really no other soldiers in the city. These people outside the city are the defenders of the city! The city lord's mansion has been sealed off. Please tell us about the rest of the matters!"

Zhang Ji waved his hand: "That's it. This city is too small and there are too many soldiers. Wait for me to lead the troops into the city, and the subsequent troops will continue to go to Baozhuang City. General Zhao's cavalry went straight to Gaochang City. We will attack the remaining small cities one by one!"

The commander Ying Nuo turned his horse's head and returned to Puchang City to deal with all kinds of things.

Zhang Ke rode on the horse and looked at Puchang City in front of him, and felt a little unreal. This battle was really easy, but after three rounds of cannons were fired and the city gate was collapsed, the defenders inside surrendered. Will the remaining city be so easy? I was a little confused.

After staying for a while, Zhang Ke said to Zhang Sheng: "Let's go into the city. After occupying this place, the general will come here to set up a general's mansion to command the attack on Gaochang. Gaochang is known as twenty-two cities, and there are many wars to fight!"
