Chapter 28
As Li Zicheng's gaze, Zhu Cixuan raised his right hand.
Li Zicheng knew that there would definitely be some killing move, but he didn't know what it was. The distance between the army now should not be able to hit the muskets.
"All preparation."
The people under the city wall were still shouting, and they couldn't hear these words at all, but Li Zicheng still heard the sound while standing beside Zhu Cixuan, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.
Although Li Zicheng wanted to remind him, he was tied up at this moment. Even if he shouted, the people below could not hear clearly. At this moment, there was a boiling ocean below.
boom…
A huge sound came over, and one ball of white smoke after another appeared on the city wall, much more than the white smoke of muskets.
Besides, this sound is even louder than the sound of the grenade explosion yesterday. What is this?
The soldiers under the city wall were also startled, stopped their voices, and looked at the city wall at the same time, but before they could see anything, some soldiers realized that they were flying.
General Hao Yaoqi had no chance to catch the city wall and was still cursing in his heart. At this moment, a shell exploded near him. He saw several soldiers flying up with his own eyes, and the surroundings were covered in blood.
This shell took away at least twenty lives.
It’s not that the power of the shells is, it’s mainly because the soldiers stand too densely and there is not even a gap in the middle.
How can the shells explode in such a crowd, so how can they not be lethal?
The Rebellion Army had never seen artillery shells before, and they also knew the power of artillery shells in the Ming Dynasty, but compared with the one in front of them, it was really a witch.
Moreover, they were standing far away today, even further than the launch distance of the war crossbows yesterday, but it was obvious that they were still suffering today.
"Disast away quickly and disperse immediately."
General Li Yan immediately rode back on his horse and shouted loudly as his men dispersed.
His men were well-trained and quickly rode their horses and spread out in scattered places. Even if they rushed towards the direction of the city wall, they could not gather together.
But the soldiers under the other generals were not that good. They were like headless flies and had never seen the formation in front of them.
I don’t know where to run, as it seems that there are shells exploding around.
The first round of artillery fires received great results.
But Zhu Cixuan did not let his subordinates stop. Zhu Cixuan just wanted to fight with one go, and directly knock down the morale of the trespassing army, so that they did not dare to fight against us, so that the next thing would be easier.
Li Zicheng was gasping heavily, and tears were already flowing out of his eyes.
These people in front of him are all his team, and they have been with him for more than three years. They all want to come to rescue the King of Rebellion today. Unexpectedly, they encounter such a result, which is like cutting his flesh.
Cao Renli was watching happily, you thugs must have the result of this.
When the corners of his eyes swept over Li Zicheng, Cao Renli understood what the crown prince meant.
On the one hand, we must crack down on the confidence of these rebels under the city, and on the other hand, we must crack down on Li Zicheng's confidence, so that neither of you will have the confidence to fight us.
Don’t you think your old camp is powerful? Now open your eyes and see what’s so powerful?
Isn’t it all the same in front of our artillery? I can’t even hold on for half an hour.
We will destroy our Ming Dynasty, grandma, do you have that ability?
Some of the troops behind the rebel army quickly got out their catapults, hoping to cause certain losses to the troops on the city wall.
But they forgot that the soldiers on the city wall were condescending, and whenever they saw a catapult coming out, several nearby artillery would give priority to taking care of them.
Over time, these soldiers also realized that if you run around, you may not be targeted by the soldiers on the city wall.
But if you push this catapult, don't expect to be alive, those people are sharp-eyed.
Except for pushing a few at the beginning, no soldier touched the catapult carts afterwards, as if it were the gates of hell.
Who is not raised by his father and mother? Who is born with copper and iron? Saving life is the most important thing at this time.
When the last batch of catapults were destroyed, the only chance of the rebels to counterattack was gone.
Zhu Cilang could see clearly that the outer wall of the imperial city could no longer hold on.
If the trespassing troops can withstand casualties and use their artillery and catapults, who will win and lose, it will be really an unknown.
However, in this case, no one dared to withstand the casualties and do such a thing, because everyone could not see hope, and all they saw were soldiers running around.
After 20 minutes of bombardment, let alone ordinary soldiers of the rebel army, even the well-trained cavalry under General Li Yan were already running away at this moment.
None of the other square formations were spared and they were all broken up.
Zhu Cilang turned his head to look at Li Zicheng. At this moment, this guy was already shattered and didn't even want to look outside the city wall.
This is all his hard work and his reliance, but for Zhu Cixuan, he couldn't even survive the effort of two incense sticks.
"Didn't you say you have a million troops? If we negotiate now, do you still think this million troops are your bargaining chip?"
Zhu Cilang stared at Li Zicheng with both eyes, and his heroic face made Li Zicheng take a step back unconsciously.
"You...you are so scary."
Li Zicheng was gasping for breath and could stand firmly against the city wall. His legs were trembling, and it took a lot of effort to finish this sentence.
Li Zicheng was wondering in his heart that Prince Ming had so many trump cards in his hand, why didn’t he take them out in the morning?
We had to take it out when we rushed to the imperial city. What is the purpose of this? Is it to let ourselves fall from the clouds to the underground?
"It doesn't matter whether it's scary or not. Now you have another chance, that is, to talk to me about a deal. If you miss it, I might destroy all of you."
If Zhu Cixuan said this before, he would not believe Li Zicheng to death, but now Li Zicheng absolutely believes that Zhu Cixuan has this ability.
What business are you talking about? The prince of the Ming Dynasty actually wanted to discuss business with him, and Li Zicheng looked confused.
There is no reason why Zhu Cilang is so impatient. The entire city wall was damaged again due to the fire just now.
The next time there is such a violent shelling, you may not be able to hold on. You must negotiate with Li Zicheng in advance...
