Seeing that Chu Yi was not affected at all by the rain of arrows, King Ning's face was ashen. The stronger Chu Yi showed, the less shocked his army was. This can be seen from the reactions of the soldiers around him.
Take a look or two.
Chu Yi was already described as a big devil by King Ning in the hearts of many soldiers. Now that even the rain of arrows could not hurt Chu Yi at all, wouldn't it make the army even more uneasy?
"Where is the fire gun? Give me a fire gun and kill Tai. Let me kill him."
King Ning's eyes were filled with madness as he looked at Chu Yi, who was not damaged at all. He even roared at the soldiers around him.
Chu Yi glanced at King Ning, and returned to the front of the formation with several ups and downs. Seeing that Chu Yi was safe and sound under the rain of arrows from King Ning's rebels, many of the imperial troops naturally regarded Chu Yi as a heavenly being.
.
"The General Manager is Wan Sheng, the General Manager is Wan Sheng!"
All the troops couldn't help but shout, their morale was high. On the other hand, the rebels of King Ning all looked pale, with a bit of fear.
The battle has not yet started, but as a result, King Ning's rebels have been frightened by Chu Yi and their morale has been weakened.
Chu Yi raised his hand slightly, lowered it slowly, and shouted in a deep voice: "All the officers and soldiers listen to the order, attack the city with a large army, kill King Ning, and make him a marquis!"
After hearing this, countless people couldn't help but stare at King Ning on the city wall with gleaming eyes, wishing they could fly over and chop him down.
To be granted the title of a marquis, what a feat this is, the Ming Dynasty may not be able to grant a title to a marquis for decades.
That is to say, King Ning established himself as the emperor, so the one who killed King Ning would have the opportunity to be granted the title of marquis. Otherwise, no matter how great his achievements were, he would just be granted the title of earl.
Just like in history, Wang Shouren quelled King Ning's rebellion in more than 30 days, and in the end, he was just granted the title of marquis. One can imagine how difficult it was to be granted the title of marquis before the Ming Dynasty was defeated.
This time Chu Yi used this as a reward, how great was the temptation for the army.
King Ning felt the tens of thousands of troops below the city staring at him, and his whole body suddenly felt bad.
"Chu Yi, Chu Yi, eunuch, eunuch..."
King Ning was so angry that he smashed the city wall with his fist and cursed angrily.
Following Chu Yi's order, more than a dozen giant bronze cannons were slowly launched from the army that had already prepared to attack the city.
Artillery can be regarded as a common siege weapon for the Ming Dynasty.
Even if the artillery is difficult to move, it cannot withstand the intimidating power of the artillery.
To be honest, most of the artillery in this era were solid bullets, relying on the impact of the shells to kill the enemy. The power of the artillery was simply not comparable to the power of the explosive shells, but the artillery was more of a deterrent.
Chu Yi Bingfeng is a chemical expert. He doesn't know much about artillery, but he does know the formula of more powerful gunpowder.
With Chu Yi's request and support, Dongchang directly transferred the best craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War Ordnance Shop to research artillery in accordance with Chu Yi's requirements.
Over the past few years, although no modern artillery with terrible power has been developed, the newly made artillery and the manufactured explosive bullets are quite powerful, at least much more powerful than the solid bullets.
King Ning's rebels couldn't help but be stunned when they saw more than a dozen cannons being pushed out from the city.
Nanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, naturally had artillery. However, as Jiangnan was at peace for a long time, artillery and the like had long been turned into decorations.
In addition, the land in the south of the Yangtze River is densely covered with water networks, which is not very suitable for the operation of artillery. Therefore, only a few large cities have artillery.
There are actually more than a dozen cannons on the city wall of Nanjing City. Unfortunately, these cannons are almost all left over from hundreds of years ago. There is not even any maintenance on weekdays. Many cannons are simply rusty. I am afraid that if they are used, they will still be damaged.
Before the enemy was killed, he himself was killed first.
Several generals under King Ning showed surprise when they saw the cannon being pushed out. At the same time, they said to King Ning, "Your Majesty, please get down to the city wall quickly, just in case."
Prince Ning frowned and said, "It's just a few cannons. I'm afraid they can't even hit the walls of Nanjing. Why should I be afraid?"
The city of Nanjing really has high walls and thick walls. As King Ning said, the solid bullets fired by the Ming Dynasty artillery can't hit the walls of Nanjing at all.
Just as several generals were persuading King Ning, more than a dozen cannons under the city suddenly made a roaring sound like thunder.
The fire at the muzzle flickered, and the next moment a rumble was heard on the city wall.
Countless rubble flew across the dusty sky, and a section of the city wall was blown open, exposing the loess beneath the masonry.
Prince Ning was immediately frightened. He huddled behind the city wall and felt the vibration of the city wall and the debris thrown all over the sky.
Most of the dozen or so soldiers who were hit by the blast lost their lives immediately, and those who were not dead were still wailing miserably.
"The bomb, this is the bomb. How is it possible? How can it be so powerful?"
It’s not that there are no explosive bullets, it’s just that because of the power of gunpowder, the explosive bullets are not even as powerful as solid bullets, so there are not many explosive bullets. Even if artillery is used during siege, they are still solid bullets.
"Boom, boom, boom"
Waves of shelling hit the city wall continuously, and sections of the city wall exploded.
The soldiers who were originally guarding the city wall were now scared out of their wits. They were lying in the ruins one by one, holding their wounds and wailing, or trembling and praying that the cannon would not hit them near them, otherwise they would be dead.
Under the city wall, all the generals opened their eyes wide at this moment, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
They naturally understood the performance of the artillery in the Ming army. For many generals, they would rather attack with soldiers than go through the thankless task of transporting heavy artillery.
Originally, they didn't take the artillery brought by Chu Yi into consideration at all, and they were all gearing up to lead the army to attack the city.
As a result, those dozen artillery pieces turned out to have such amazing power, it can be said that everyone was stunned.
After reacting, these people couldn't help shouting with excitement: "The Ming Dynasty will be victorious, and the general manager will be a thousand years old."
Countless imperial troops who were subdued by the power of the artillery also cheered loudly, which shocked the surrounding areas and frightened all the rebels in Nanjing.
Chu Yi looked at the city wall filled with gunpowder smoke, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, narrowed his eyes and said: "Attack the city!"
Suddenly, all the generals roared for it, and many soldiers carried high ladders to attack the city wall.
The rebels of King Ning, who had been bombed and did not dare to stand on the city wall, were still in a daze at the moment. Some generals who reacted immediately understood when they saw the bombardment stopped and the astonishing shouts of killing, and the imperial army began to attack the city.
Got it!
ps: It’s so tragic. The power outage hasn’t come yet. I typed this one out on my mobile phone. This is the one. My hands are sore and my arms hurt. Why is there a power outage? I even took part in the outburst event.
Alas, please give me a monthly pass and give me a reward
