Chapter eight hundred and seventy-ninth if there is an unruly massacre of the city for three days
Liu Mingzhi quietly looked at the screams on the walls of Jianni City with a somewhat neither sad nor happy expression.
After seven days, he had already understood very clearly that he was not the savior, and people would always die in wars. Wanting to peacefully bring the Western Region into the dragon's territory was nothing more than a dream.
Finally, the Pandora's box of fifty artillery pieces prepared for emergencies was quietly opened by Liu Mingzhi's painful determination, announcing its arrival to the world.
April 20, the third year of Dalong Ruian, was a day destined to go down in history, because this day was the first day that hot weapons appeared on the stage of history, announcing that the era of cold weapons was about to end.
Although cold weapons will never withdraw from the big stage of history, it is inevitable to be banned by hot weapons.
"Keep firing!"
Song Qing looked at the city of Shanni, which had been destroyed by a breach, and waved the flag in his hand desperately. He had never fought such a passionate war.
The soldiers poured cold water on the heated barrel. This time Song Qing's order to fire did not succeed. The soldiers remembered the commander's order. After ten consecutive shots, the artillery must be allowed to cool down for a period of time, otherwise it will burst into flames.
It will be a fatal disaster.
Although the soldiers didn't know what cooling and blasting meant, they always adhered to the commander's orders.
Military orders are like mountains are not just words!
"I'll kick you to death, you loser!"
The order was not carried out. Song Qingzheng looked blankly at the gunners, who were confused, so he was kicked out by Master Liu.
Young Master Liu looked at the shells in the shell box that had been consumed with heartache and his heart was bleeding.
Of course he understands the thrill of firing a cannon, but this is all real money. In order to build the cannon, he almost lost all the money he accumulated after setting up his own business, except for emergency purposes, and even borrowed millions of money from Zhu Run.
Only then did the cornerstone of artillery finally be determined.
This is not just an empty talk. Firearms in the Ming Dynasty were developed, but there were not many cannons. Isn't it because this thing is a money-eating machine?
Song Qing straightened his helmet, wiped the dust off his body and walked towards Young Master Liu: "Commander, why are you kicking me?"
"You prodigal son, I will kill you to gain my heart!"
"What? After the battle, you want to serve wine to the general? No, no, no, just let the general continue to fire off cannons. No need to serve wine!"
Young Master Liu helplessly looked at Song Qing's expression of seriousness and was helpless. Knowing that Song Qing's ears were still ringing, he couldn't hear what he was saying. Young Master Liu took his command flag and inserted it into his waist.
Head towards the artillery!
Smelling the thick smell of gunpowder smoke, Young Master Liu did not feel disgusted at all but felt extremely at ease. He patted the cannon that had not yet dispersed the smoke. Although it was cooled by pouring cold water on it, it was still a bit hot to the touch.
Young Master Liu stopped and looked towards the city wall. There were no crowds of people on the city wall of Zani City, only thick smoke and dust billowing.
Liu Mingzhi took the command flag from the hands of his soldiers and stared: "Jiang Lei, order the three armies to beat the drums and attack the city!"
"Got the order!"
Except for the idiot Song Qing, everyone took off the cotton plugs in their ears and began to prepare their formations to attack the city.
When the soldiers saw the flags and drums giving the order to attack the city, they withdrew their shocked eyes from the artillery and slowly advanced towards the city wall according to the attack formation.
Cheng Kai waved the flag in his hand and the cannon, and the catapult and eight-oxen crossbow began to fire crossbow arrows and stones closely towards the city wall!
"Commander, the gate of Ganni City has opened from the inside, and a man is riding towards us on horseback!"
The words of the military sentry made Liu Mingzhi narrow his eyes. He took out his telescope and looked towards the city gate. Looking at the visitor who was carrying a flag, Liu Mingzhi felt relieved. He raised his hand and shouted an order: "Stop attacking the city, call the gold and withdraw the troops."
!”
A moment later, the sound of a huge gong resounded in the ears of the soldiers attacking the city. Although the soldiers did not know why, they still stopped charging. The front army turned into the rear army and retreated in an orderly manner!
The man from Jianni City reined in his horse and stood a hundred meters away. He stopped and shouted to Liu Mingzhi: "&...￥#%￥#"
"Let Gu Mo Rongrong come over and listen to what the visitor is shouting?"
"yes!"
A moment later, Gu Mo Rongrong trotted over. She glanced at the position of the artillery and then walked towards Young Master Liu.
"Rongrong has met the handsome man!"
"No need to be polite, what do the people from Jianni City mean?"
Gumo Rongrong listened quietly for a while and her face lit up: "Qiaolou Shan is willing to leave the city and surrender. Please ask the heavenly army not to attack the city!"
Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes and had a slanted smile on his lips: "Ask him if he can lower his watch?"
"%...&￥"
"&*%......%"
"Bring it along, he won't dare to come without your permission, Commander!"
"Let him come over. If the two armies are fighting, I won't touch him even if he doesn't kill him!"
“……&￥%……%……&%”
The visitor from Janni City hesitated for a while, got off his horse and trotted towards Young Master Liu. The personal guards immediately held up their shields to protect Young Master Liu in case of any unexpected events.
It is not a trivial matter to assassinate the commander-in-chief if the enemy pretends to surrender. There are many such things in history. The most famous one is Jing Ke’s assassination of Qin!
Liu Mingzhi didn't say anything about the actions of the soldiers. He was very concerned about his life and it was better to be careful!
The soldiers searched the entire body of the incoming man before letting him approach Young Master Liu. The incoming man walked to Young Master Liu and knelt down on one knee, holding up the document in his hand and respectfully handed it to Young Master Liu.
"%......￥##￥%#"
"Shan Nalu has met the commander of the Great Dragon Heavenly Army!"
After hearing Gumo Rongrong's translation, Liu Mingzhi took the document from Shan Nalu's hand and looked through it gently. Sure enough, the second page of the document was stamped with the seal of Loulan Kingdom.
"Your Highness, is this the national seal of the Loulan Kingdom?"
Gumo Rongrong took a look and nodded: "Yes, it is the national seal of the Loulan Kingdom. They are willing to surrender and pay tribute!"
"Song Qing!"
"Song Qing!"
"Vice General Song!"
"Ah? What's wrong? Did you give the order to fire?"
Young Master Liu walked towards Song Qing and shouted in his ear: "The cavalry is in front and the infantry is behind. Go into Jianni City to collect the swords of the defenders. The cavalry officers and soldiers do not dismount, and the infantry soldiers do not sheath their swords. Be careful."
If there is fraud, if something goes wrong, I will immediately issue an order to kill you!"
"Is this a victory?"
"Yes, we won, let's go and capture the city!"
"Got the order!"
Young Master Liu looked at Song Qing's back as he went to greet Cheng Kai and sighed: "If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer the consequences right in front of you!"
Young Master Liu walked up to Shannaru and looked at Gumo Rongrong: "Tell him to go back and report to Shannaru. All the civil and military officials, the royal family, and the royal family will come out of the palace to welcome me. Once I find out that he has done something inappropriate, it will lead to
One of my soldiers was killed or wounded, so I ordered the three armies to massacre the city for three days!"
Gumo Rongrong's pupils shrank in fear at the topic of massacre of the city for three days. He didn't know whether what Liu Mingzhi said was true or false.
He put away the panic in his heart and translated towards Shannaru.
Shannaru also shuddered, nodded and ran towards Janni City, not daring to stop at all.
Not only Gu Mo Rongrong was shocked by the words of the three-day massacre of the city, but even Murong Shan looked at Young Master Liu worriedly. If it was to intimidate Qiao Loushan, it would be fine, but if it was true that Young Master Liu was too violent.
Being violent will not only bring disaster to Jianni City, but will also put pressure on Liu Mingzhi's own mind. In the long run, he may become a murderous executioner or even lose his mind and go crazy.
Murong Shan didn't care about the location of the soldiers around her and gently held Liu Mingzhi's hand while shaking her head at Young Master Liu with a hint of worry in her eyes.
Liu Mingzhi smiled slightly and patted Murong Shan on the shoulder to indicate that he was fine.
Murong Shan's tense heart relaxed.
But Murong Shan didn't know what Young Master Liu was really thinking.
No one among the hundreds of thousands of people present would know except Liu Mingzhi himself!
