"I don't believe it. The Yanzhou city wall is so tall and solid. What kind of cannon is it really capable of destroying it?"
"Besides, we still have more than 10,000 soldiers in hand. We can definitely hold on until the young marshal returns."
The guard did not give up to comfort everyone, but also comforted himself.
But before he finished speaking, a deafening roar sounded from the opposite side.
Before the guards could react, the towering city gate behind them collapsed.
"Boom...boom...boom..."
Explosions continued to sound around him, and flying shrapnel and stones shot out in all directions like bows and arrows.
In an instant, dozens of soldiers around the guard fell wailing.
There were nearly a hundred people who fell directly to the ground without breathing.
The heat wave from the cannon shells set fire to the banners on the city tower. For a while, the area near the city gate tower was filled with howls and chaos.
This... is only the first salvo.
Just as the guard general was about to discuss something with his men, there was another burst of cannon fire outside the city.
The whistling cannonballs hit the city gate tower again, and one of the cannonballs hit accurately near the battlements where the defenders were hiding.
The unlucky lieutenants and guards around him were suddenly thrown several steps away by the airwaves from the shells.
A few unlucky ones were thrown directly under the city wall by the air waves and fell into pieces.
At the same time, Nan Yanxi below the city was also under tremendous pressure.
How could he not know the fact that there were not many shells?
Now, the reinforcements sent by Xiang Yang are estimated to have arrived in Pingyang and Shangyun counties.
He must have started fighting with Xiang Ning'er and the others.
Therefore, the emptiness in Yanzhou City is obvious because of the lice on the bald man's head.
The spies who sneaked into Yanzhou City to investigate also confirmed this. At this time, there were only 10,000 miscellaneous troops transferred by Xiang Yang from elsewhere in Yanzhou City.
However, the heavy artillery team and baggage team led by Nangong Ruoxue still have one day to arrive.
During this day, there will be a battle between Pingyang and Shangyun counties. I don’t know what kind of changes will happen.
Even if nothing happens, if Xiang Yang gets the news and leads his army to join forces, he will be in danger.
So Nan Yanxi used her sharp tongue to deceive and deceive, hoping to frighten this motley crew.
After two rapid fires from the artillery, the gate tower of Yanzhou City was already riddled with holes and rubble, and even the flags were set on fire.
Nan Yanxi was full of confidence, but the defenders in the city still didn't move, and he suddenly felt a lot of pressure in his heart.
Looking at the remaining cannonballs, there is less than one shot in each cannon.
Nan Yanxi was worried and immediately ordered the artillery to prepare to fire the last shell.
At this critical moment, the towering gate of Yanzhou City opposite opened with a creak.
The city's garrison and several main officers walked out slowly, their faces dark and embarrassed, holding their swords high.
There were only a few Xiangzi flags left on the city, and they were slowly removed.
Nan Yanxi and his general looked at each other and almost jumped up with joy.
I saw him pull out his sword with a clatter and shouted: "Charge!"
After receiving the order, all the sergeants rushed forward, screaming as if they had been beaten to death.
Nan Yanxi personally led the guards to the enemy garrison and disarmed them all.
He loudly ordered his men: "The infantry enter the city and control the four gates! Disarm all the defenders and guard them separately. The artillery goes up to the city to defend!"
"yes!"
The messenger loudly agreed and walked away quickly.
The guard general and others knelt on the ground in the old-fashioned way, holding their heads in their hands, looking flatteringly at Nan Yanxi who was giving orders in front of them.
"Hehehe... The villain really didn't know that Yuzhou's main army had arrived, so he offended me..."
"Main force?" Hearing this, Nan Yanxi looked at each other with Lu Yingying and several personal guards, and couldn't help laughing.
In the guard's doubtful eyes, Nan Yanxi smiled evilly and said: "Bullshit main force, look... I only have 20,000 people."
"The so-called army behind is just 10,000 baggage trains."
"If you don't surrender, we won't have a few shells left... Hahaha..."
"You!" As soon as these words came out, the guard who was kneeling on the ground collapsed to the ground like a lightning strike.
With a face full of remorse, he said unwillingly: "You...you actually defrauded me! Oh...I am so confused!"
Nan Yanxi on the side saw this, but didn't take it seriously at all. She reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother... remember, this is a war that never tires of deceit!"
"Burn the incense. When my heavy artillery team and baggage team arrive tomorrow, do you think I will go to such trouble to persuade you to surrender?"
"I've already beaten you to pieces! If you surrender now, you can at least save your life, right?"
Now that the matter has come to this, it is useless to think too much. The guard lowered his head helplessly.
Nan Yanxi ordered his personal guards to take the guard general and several important officers into custody, and he took Lu Yingying and others to the governor's mansion.
The opponent's more than 10,000 defenders have all been disarmed and separated into several places for detention.
The entire Yanzhou City fell completely under Nan Yanxi's control with almost no effort.
...
At this time, Xiang Yang had not heard the bad news and was leading his army to confront Xiang Ning'er arrogantly.
Currently, more than half of the entire Pingyang City has been captured by Xiang Ning'er.
The defenders of both sides started a confrontation near the central square of the county town.
Xiang Yang was sitting on a tall horse, holding a whip in his hand, pointing at Xiang Ning'er not far away opposite.
He cursed bitterly: "You traitor! Our Xiang family treats you well. We raised you and gave you food to eat, but you actually rebelled against me."
"You who know the truth, surrender quickly and tie yourself before this commander."
"I can spare your life for the sake of our past friendship!"
Xiang Ning'er felt even more disgusted when she looked at the hypocritical Xiang Yang in front of her.
I secretly muttered in my heart, if we fight, we will fight. Why are we beeping blindly here? Why are we pretending to be 13?
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, he directly reached out and took the rifle of the guard next to him.
Aim the gun and shoot Xiang Yang.
"boom...!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiang Yang subconsciously shrank his head, and then managed to avoid this fatal blow.
The bullet hit the top of Xiang Yang's helmet hard. For a moment, Xiang Yang felt as if his helmet had been hit hard with a hammer.
The huge force almost broke his neck, causing him to fall off the horse.
"Young Marshal...!"
"Protect the young commander...!"
The surrounding soldiers quickly got off their horses and rushed over to help him.
Xiang Yang, who was still in shock, subconsciously reached out and touched it, and found that the top of his helmet was directly penetrated.
With such a powerful force, Xiang Yang didn't want to be hit again, so he hurriedly got up and shouted: "Retreat quickly...!"
Not even daring to ride the horse, he staggered back to the main formation.
Behind him, Xiang Ning'er and the generals couldn't help laughing when they saw his embarrassed appearance.
