Chapter five hundred and ninety sixth

"Boom boom boom..."

The sound of cannon fire suddenly sounded as the sun hung on the treetops.

Facing the most important city in Wei, Ye Qingyun attacked while commanding the army to siege it from three sides.

He didn't need to say anything to the King of Wei, nor did he need to persuade him to surrender, because for the King of Wei and the rich families in Jinling City, this war was a battle of death.

"fire!"

With Ye Qingyun's order, solid artillery shells and lime shells fell on the city gate and the city wall respectively, and a wailing sound suddenly sounded at the top of the city.

Jinling City is a place of wealth and happiness. The soldiers in the city never knew what war was. When solid shells knocked their artillery away, when their companions were directly smashed by shells, their arms and legs, and when blood flowed on the city walls, they began to fall into fear.

Ye Qingyun watched the battle situation calmly, wanting the soldiers to believe that he must deceive himself first, and now he is holding the mentality of fighting against the enemy.

So before entering the city, he decided to continue bombarding the city walls and gates.

"Fight hard against the walls on both sides of the city gate!" Ye Qingyun shouted to the artillery.

Learning from the lessons of siege, Ye Qingyun was not going to go directly through the city gate this time, because the narrow city gate would cause too much loss to the early troops, and now he can't stand such losses.

So he was going to blast the city walls and have more places to break into.

"Boom boom boom..."

The twelve-pound siege cannons continued to bombard the city gate and walls, and some of the cannons were used to deal with the Wei army artillery on the top of the city.

When the King of Wei learned that his artillery was constantly being hit by the long-range Dengzhou artillery, he couldn't help but be furious. "Xiao Ming, you and the prince harmed me!"

Just as he was yelling, a huge sound of collapse suddenly came, and the walls of the south gate fell completely from the middle under the continued bombardment of artillery.

Seeing this, King Wei's face turned from white to black. Among Xiao Wenxuan's contemporary princes, he had never been to the battlefield. At this time, he was at a loss.

But he at least understood one thing: if the city gate is broken, it means that Jinling City will soon be lost. He doesn't believe that he can defeat the Dengzhou army now.

"Boom." Soon the other side of the south gate also collapsed.

"Soldiers, rush!" At this time, Ye Qingyun was the first to rush over with his long sword in his hand. The soldiers holding the flints followed closely, and rushed towards Jinling City like an evil tiger going down the mountain.

The soldiers of the Wei army in the city were as if they were awakened from their sleep. Then they saw a green torrent rushing into the city. All the soldiers holding spears came towards him. Before he could make any shouts, he felt a chill in his chest. Then he watched his blood gush out of his chest. Before he died, his extreme fear made him scream.

After entering the city, the soldiers of Dengzhou Army were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, shooting from a long range, bayonets, and coordination between length and length was very skillful. The Wei army who came to prevent them from entering the city were usually defeated in just a few rounds of shooting and bayonet charges.

The chaos in the south city quickly spread in Jinling City, and the breath of death was everywhere in the city. The King of Wei summoned soldiers under the escort of his personal guards. Everything in front of him was beyond his imagination. He looked at the defeated elite Wei army. His body was three points colder than the sword in the cold winter. A voice told him that it was all over. Wherever Dengzhou army passed, it was like slaughtering cattle and sheep, leaving only cold corpses everywhere. Although he was hoarsely attacking, the frightened soldiers had no resistance at all and were soon disintegrated.

"Your Highness, let's go, it's too late if you don't leave! The east gate and the west gate were both broken through by the Dengzhou army, and our city walls could not withstand the bombardment of artillery."

A group of officials begged behind the King of Wei, saying that they thought the number of people was the advantage, but they were wrong. Now they fully understand that firearms are the advantage.

The soldiers of the Wei army were shot and killed without contacting the Dengzhou army. What a sadness.

Faced with this kind of combat method they had never encountered before, the soldiers collapsed very quickly, and many soldiers were already criticized by the King of Wei, so the soldiers fled even faster.

"Yes, Your Highness, the green mountains are left here, and you are not afraid of burning firewood." The official dissuaded.

The King of Wei shook his head at this time, and he said, "You go, I can't leave anymore, Xiao Ming won, I lost."

He knew in his heart that all his direct troops were gone, and even if he fled to other states, he would just look at the faces of other wealthy families.

At this time, many officials no longer cared about the King of Wei. The situation was hopeless. The money fell and the trees scattered. For the officials and generals, they were just changing their masters, and there was no need to follow the King of Wei to bury them with him.

According to the plan, Ye Qingyun led the musket team to seize the gate of Jinling City. After defeating the King of Wei's army, Ye Qingyun felt a sense of emotion. Although he had already understood the power of the firearm, he did not expect that such a weapon could produce huge destructive power in the war.

There were at least 6,000 soldiers of the King of Wei who were guarding the city gate, but the musket team had all the soldiers of the King of Wei in just a few rounds of shooting. None of the King of Wei even advanced within ten meters of the musket team.

After capturing the gate of Jinling City, Ye Qingyun lit the fireworks as agreed. The function of the fireworks was very simple, which was to inform Yue Yun that he had captured the city and let the soldiers from the East and West City Gate attack at the same time.

"Boom!" The lead burned to the end, and then a bright thing soared into the sky, blowing out a colorful circular pattern in the sky, which was particularly gorgeous.

Yue Yun's warship actually didn't go far. When he saw the fireworks in Jinling City, he smiled. He knew that Ye Qingyun had succeeded.

Progress has finally been made from morning to afternoon now.

After capturing the city gate, Ye Qingyun did not stop. He wanted to continue to expand the results of the battle, so he shouted: "Soldiers, it's time to harvest the enemy's heads, rush!"

"Kill!" The soldiers were full of fighting spirit and now they fought to the fore and took down the city. Now they saw that they entered the city, and they didn't want to run away with a high bounty, especially the rich and powerful people in the city.

The rumbling footsteps were pounding, and when he heard this, the soldiers of the King of Wei completely lost their will to fight and fled one after another, and more often put down their weapons in their hands and surrendered to the Dengzhou army.

The battle below became very easy. Ye Qingyun encountered almost no resistance along the way from south to north. There were soldiers of the King of Wei who were kneeling all over the ground everywhere.

"Governor, this is the Wei Palace!" A soldier said, pointing to the house not far away.
