Thousands of troops and horses surrounded the city, and the Jin soldiers in the city were all terrified.
Just as Zhao Kang said, when it comes to riding combat, one of them is better than the other.
But when it comes to the battle between infantrymen, even though Xiao Feiyu had prepared before, training and actual combat are two different things after all.
What made them even more helpless was that after capturing the city before, he did not expect that one day he would be reduced to defending the city.
The bombed city gate was not repaired at all, and no defense equipment was prepared.
Now they were surrounded by Jing Guo, and it was they who were unable to advance or retreat.
Xu Ning was merciless now. The army in Xiaotian Pass spread out and surrounded the city occupied by these Jin people.
They were not in a hurry to attack, so they sent people to cut off the communication between them. No supplies or anything else could be sent in.
As food became less and less, many Jin people began to panic.
In the big tent.
The faces of the generals were all red. Xu Ning smiled and said, "In two or three days at most, these people will not be able to hold on anymore."
Chen Maokai suggested, "Why not attack a city appropriately? And then put some psychological pressure on them?"
Yu Chenggong nodded, and Xu Ning agreed inwardly, but still looked at Zhao Kang aside.
"What do you think of the Imperial Master?"
After Zhao Kang pondered for a moment, he nodded, "Yes, if a person is forced into a desperate situation, he will burst out with a strong will to survive."
"At this time, the priority should be to attack the heart."
Ye Hongxue raised her eyebrows, "What can you do?"
Zhao Kang said with a smile, "First send people to persuade them to surrender. They will definitely not surrender at this time. Then they will attack a city with thunderous force. After the city is broken, no one will be left behind! They use kindness and power at the same time. Their spirits cannot be sustained under the high pressure."
"
Everyone was shocked by Zhao Kang's words of leaving no one behind.
Xu Ning praised with eyes, "The Imperial Master is really decisive in killing!"
Both Chen Maokai and Yu Chenggong admired them greatly. After these foreign barbarians broke into the city, they killed everyone they saw, whether they were soldiers or civilians.
I don’t know how many people in Jingguo died tragically under their scimitars, so they naturally had no psychological burden when they killed these barbarians and aliens.
Chen Maokai stood up and said, "I'm going to mobilize my troops to prepare to attack the city!"
The nearest city is only guarded by three to four thousand Jin soldiers. It doesn't even have a city gate at the moment. It's not easy to break the city.
However, Zhao Kang said, "General, don't be anxious."
"What's wrong with the Imperial Master?" Chen Maokai was stunned.
Zhao Kang said with a smile, "Although it is easy to break the city now, under the resistance of the enemy, our army will inevitably have to fight a bloody battle with them. This will not be beautiful."
Chen Maokai frowned and said, "Since we are on the battlefield, why should we fear bloodshed and sacrifice?"
"It would be better if fewer people died."
There was a look of expectation in Zhao Kang's smile. Ye Hongxue suddenly thought that Zhao Kang had gone out for a while this morning. "Is it possible?"
Zhao Kang nodded softly and said with a smile, "The ten cannons and one thousand shells sent by Her Majesty the Empress arrived in Xuzhou three days ago and are now on their way to us. They will be delivered in two days at most without stopping day and night. Mr. Xu, please send someone to take care of him."
"No problem. Is the Imperial Master's cannon really as powerful as you say?" Xu Ning couldn't help but be curious.
Zhao Kang smiled confidently, "In this era, cannons can be said to be the most powerful weapons in the world."
Yu Chenggong didn't believe it. He had never seen any weapons in his lifetime of fighting.
Zhao Kang said, "Don't worry, you will know in two days."
I heard that the cannons had arrived. According to Zhao Kang's request, Xu Ning sent
Ten thousand people came to meet him.
Half a day faster than expected, when the cannons appeared in rows in the military camp, they immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
"National Division!"
The people responsible for transporting the cannon were two third-level masters recruited by Zhao Kang.
Chen Jianghe smiled and held his hands, "Senior, you're welcome."
Nangong Long also clasped his fists and saluted. Both of them were third-level masters, and they were big shots in the Qian Kingdom who could walk sideways.
But in this country where there are so many masters in Jingguo, it is better to keep a low profile.
"You two are responsible for the transportation." Zhao Kang smiled.
Nangong Long, who was carrying a heavy sword, nodded and said, "Your Majesty said that this matter is of great importance, so we both have to take responsibility for it ourselves."
Zhao Kang asked, "How many cannons are there in the country?"
"Six more doors have been cast recently, and there are still thirty doors in total. We will transport ten doors first. Your Majesty is afraid that there will not be enough, and five more are on the way."
Chen Jianghe then said, "In addition, two thousand more artillery shells were delivered. Your Majesty said that he would help Jingguo repel the enemy no matter what."
Ye Hongxue was a little touched, and Xu Ning was also very surprised and looked at Zhao Kang, "Thank you, Imperial Master."
"Why are you so polite to me?"
Zhao Kang smiled and patted the barrel of the cannon: "Let's go and try this cannon!"
A cannon weighs more than 500 kilograms. Even though the wheels are cast, it still requires the concerted efforts of ten men to drive it like an arm.
In addition to Chen Jianghe and Nangong Long, Her Majesty the Empress also sent a thousand artillery troops to operate the cannons.
This artillery corps was newly formed, with a total of 10,000 people, specifically responsible for operating artillery.
The army formed an array, and the cannon was pushed five hundred steps in front of the city. Chen Jianghe took a few steps back. It was really the last time he was attacked like this.
The thing created a psychological shadow.
Xu Ning and others looked at the cannon curiously.
The Jin soldiers on the top of the city were even more confused, looking at the dark cannons.
The general responsible for guarding this city couldn't help but frown.
These Jingguo people have been surrounding for so many days but have not attacked yet. What are they going to do today?
Just when he was wondering, he saw someone raising a pennant and then waving it down.
next moment!
It’s like God is angry!
Ten cannonballs hit the city wall like fireballs, and the entire city wall seemed to shake.
I saw that the seemingly indestructible city wall was blasted out with holes and holes one after another.
Countless bricks and debris flew.
Ye Hongxue was stunned.
Xu Ning was dumbfounded.
Yu Chenggong was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, and Chen Maokai almost stared out of his eyes.
Is there any defender on the city at this time?
They were all blown to pieces!
"put!"
With a blast, the second round of artillery fire was fired. This time it hit not the city head, but the city wall.
Boom!
The nearly 20-meter-high city wall was blasted with a five- to six-meter-high gap.
Everyone was shocked!
All the Jin soldiers in the city were so frightened that they fell to the ground. Is this a divine punishment?
"put!"
The third round of shelling was launched. When the explosion disappeared, a huge passage was blown out of the city. There was no need to attack the city at all. Just lead the army to rush through this passage.
Yu Chenggong was trembling all over. He couldn't help but look at Zhao Kang, who was smiling, and then at the ten cannons that fired three rounds of bombardment.
