Yunli looked gloomy and said: "Everything is my responsibility. You just do what I tell you. In addition, the other eight gate guards have been told that the city gates are tightly closed by me. Who dares to open it privately?"
, be dealt with immediately by military law.”
"Yes." The guard hurriedly went down to deliver the order, while Yunli stayed on the top of the city, looking at the Jungar army in the distance. It was there that he saw the masked man that had been rumored among the people.
Hongshi felt Yunli's gaze, and under the mask, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. After waiting for a while, but the city gate still didn't open, he said a few words to Alimo next to him, who nodded slightly and rode on his horse.
He stepped forward and raised his voice: "Listen to the people inside, if you don't open the city gate, I will kill these people and let you watch your compatriots and people die in front of you."
Hearing these words, everyone on the city clenched their hands. Alimo did not joke with them. Just after a while, he ordered the soldiers to massacre the unarmed civilians.
It was the sound of wailing before death, and the blood splashed not only dyed the butcher knife red, but also dyed the land red.
Seeing their compatriots die one after another, some soldiers could not bear it, or saw friends or even relatives they knew inside, and wanted to open the door, but they were stopped by Yunli's stern shout, "Who dares not to listen to me?"
On the king's order, anyone who opens the city gate privately will be killed without mercy!"
In fact, Yunli was feeling more uncomfortable than anyone else, but he couldn't let a small gain pass. He had promised Yinzhen that he would keep the capital, so how could he break his promise?
After an unknown amount of time, the wailing and screaming finally stopped, because all five or six thousand people had been killed, and turned into corpses like cats and dogs, piled outside the city gate.
Alimo looked at Yunli on the top of the city expressionlessly, and said in a cold voice: "Prince Guo, you are very hard-hearted. It's really hard for you to watch five or six thousand people turn from human beings into corpses like this."
This general admires me."
"You don't have to use aggressive methods against me. If you have the ability, you can attack the city. But if you can only use these despicable methods, then I can tell you that you will never be able to attack the city gate."
"Really?" Alimo said with a sinister smile: "Prince Guo shouldn't think that the matter is over like this, right? This is the Qing Dynasty. It's easy to find someone like you. I will definitely bring you again at this time tomorrow.
Come here. Prince Guo, you can watch them die one by one because of you! If this matter gets out, I wonder what they will think of you, the prince."
"Despicable!" Yunli squeezed out these two words bitterly, and then ordered someone to get a bow and arrow. When he saw him nocking an arrow on the tower and drawing the bow, Alimo was startled. Just as he was about to dodge, the arrow was already aimed at him.
It was a flying arrow that seemed to be random, but its accuracy was absolutely perfect. It was aimed at Alimo's
Coming from the center of his eyebrows. However, Alimo is a general who has experienced hundreds of battles. Although he panicked, he did not lose his sense. He drew out the knife from his waist as quickly as possible, and then quickly cut the arrow into two pieces, but
Even so, the arrow also left a faint trace of blood on Alimo's brow.
Alimo became angry and said: "Yunli, I want you to regret what you did just now."
Hong Shice immediately stepped forward and said: "General, don't talk to him anymore, I have already ordered people to drive the artillery."
Alimo said coldly: "Okay! Blow the city wall hard for me, I won't believe it can't be blasted open!"
Following their words, the artillery was set up one after another, twelve in total. Yunli saw this scene on the city wall. He didn't expect that Jungar actually brought so many artillery. If there was enough ammunition, maybe it would be really good.
able to blast open the city wall. He said with a solemn look: "Pass this king's order, all the archers are ready, they are not allowed to push the artillery within the range!"
Following Yunli's words, there was a rush of activity on the top of the city. Soon all the archers were in position, waiting for Yunli's order. Hongshi, who saw this scene, was not panicked. He asked people to
He placed the shield in front of him, and then used this cover to slowly push the cannon forward.
Although their feet were exposed outside the shield, it was undoubtedly difficult to accurately shoot at such a small range. Only a few people shot at their feet. Yunli looked cold and drew his arrow again.
He put it on the bow, and the next moment, the arrow hit the foot of one of the Jungar soldiers, causing him to fall to the ground.
Yunli's archery skills were extremely accurate, and all the arrows hit the target, but even so, he only stopped four artillery pieces, and the rest were pushed to the positions ordered by Hongshi in advance, and then he started loading ammunition.
Although the wall of Deshengmen is very thick, it cannot withstand so many artillery bombardments at close range. If four or five rounds are fired, I'm afraid... thinking of this, a trace of cruelty flashed in Yunli's eyes, and he said:
"Prepare the muskets, light the muzzles and fire for this dynasty!"
He wanted to detonate the ammunition inside the cannon before it was fired. This method may not be effective, but it is better than being passively beaten, even if it means detonating a cannon.
As soon as the muskets appeared on the city wall, Hongshi knew what Yunli was going to do, but he didn't think Yunli's method would work, and it was just a futile resistance.
However, it turns out that everything Yunli did was not in vain. After repeated shooting, although the ammunition of eight artillery pieces fell on the city wall and made shocking large craters, the other two artillery pieces were still on the city wall.
It was detonated before being launched, killing all the nearby Dzungar soldiers.
Although Hongshi's face was ashen, he did not order anyone to withdraw the artillery. He only ordered the musketeers to shoot at the top of the city, making them unable to deal with the artillery.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound of gunfire, and during this period of time the artillery was fired several times. The entire city wall was shaking, and the hearts of both the soldiers and the people were tightly grasped, fearing that the city wall would be damaged by such shooting.
It will be blasted through, and those Jungar soldiers will rush in and slaughter everyone.
Fortunately, what they were worried about did not happen. After a few rounds of bombardment, Hongshi's artillery withdrew. Seeing this, a general next to him was surprised and said: "Why don't you bombard it? Just bomb it a few more times."
Maybe the city wall will be blasted through?”
Hiroshi said coolly: "General, do you want to use up all our ammunition today? If not, we can only temporarily stop the artillery attack."
The general thought about it and said, "If that's the case, then I'll let the soldiers build ladders to attack the city."
"No need, let's stop here for today. We can wait until tomorrow." Seeing Hongshi's repeated refusal, the general said displeasedly: "It's only been so long today and you said wait until tomorrow. What do you mean?"
