Chapter 354 Bombardment
"Boom, boom, boom!" The shocking sound of cannons vented Tang He's anger.
From the attack of Gaoyou Mansion, from the robbery of the warship, from the siege of Zhongshan, Tang and his childhood memories all disappeared in the depths of his mind. Instead, it was a deep anger. The way was different, and he did not conspire with each other. It's not good to plot against Tang and Teng, especially his former friends!
"Brother, there is a sudden sound of artillery outside, bombarding our city wall!" Zhu Yuanzhang received the report.
He had heard that from the position of the gun, it should be the place where the big ship stayed.
Time was tight, and he captured the other party's big ship. Zhu Yuanzhang originally wanted to move the cannon on the ship to the wall of Yingtianfu, but he was afraid that Tang He would find something wrong. As a result, he lost this opportunity. Now listening to the sound, it is obvious that the warship was taken by the other party again.
"Let our gunfire bombard that ship!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Artillery is definitely not Zhang Shicheng's patent. Zhu Yuanzhang's men also have many cannons.
These cannons are all cast in copper, and the cost is not low, but the surname is Neng, which can never be compared with Zhang Shicheng's cannon.
Tang He commanded the gunners and bombarded the walls of Ying Tianfu fiercely with the God of War cannons. Because they had been captured once, they were also full of hatred and burst out their greatest potential. One after another, solid shells were stuffed into the gun, aiming and shooting! They are tireless.
At the same time, the sailors in the lower cabin have begun to ignite and preheat the boiler. It has not been started for a few days. It will take half an hour for the water in the boiler to boil.
This half hour was handed over to Tang He.
Zhu Siam looked at Tang He with red eyes and dared not dissuade him.
However, my mission has been completed.
"General Tang, this warship can't accommodate our army. Two thousand of us will leave you a few hundred-person teams, and the rest will have to rush back to Changzhou to recover." Zhu Siam said.
" OK, you have worked hard." Tang He said, "But I don't need your 100-person team. Now I still have more than 50 people, more than 100 sailors, and this warship in hand. No matter how many people come out, I'm not afraid."
Tang He's words are not exaggerated. Now it's just a few god of war cannons shooting. If the other party dares to come out, it's definitely the time for the scattered fireworks. "Then we'll leave." Zhu Xi said that as Zhang Shicheng's men, their biggest characteristic is that they are good at winning more with less, and it is absolutely no exaggeration that their weapon is the capital they dominate this era.
As soon as Zhu Siam left, the gunfire on the head of the city began to roar.
"Good, if you dare to be with me, I'll show you how awesome we are." Tang He shouted, "Brothers, bombard me in the direction of the other party's artillery fire!"
The gunner immediately adjusted the angle skillfully. Now that the ship has not started, the stationary cannon will shoot the other side's stationary target, and they are 80% sure.
When the God of War cannon sounded again, he saw the opponent's cannon and immediately became dumb.
Tang He did this just to be powerful. The cannons on the head of the city just now, the projectiles fired, didn't even hit the edge of his ship.
Under his silver power, Ying Tianfu was trembling.
The defenders at the head of the city can't believe that the opponent's head is so high.
As soon as they opened fire, they were accurately hit by the other party, with an error of no more than two steps. Some gunners were directly hit by the other party's shells and were immediately smashed.
The power of iron shells falling from the sky is amazing.
Zhu Yuanzhang braved the gunfire of the other party and pedaled to the top of the city. Seeing that he was completely suppressed, he couldn't help but be angry.
"Cannonman, fire me again!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted.
Suddenly, a guard next to him rushed up to protect Zhu Yuanzhang's body.
Another round of shells flew over.
A frightening voice flew in my ear, and then there was a huge vibration under my feet. The shell almost wiped his edge and flew over. The guard who had just protected him was cut off half of his head.
Zhu Yuanzhang bowed his head and looked at the place where the guard fell. It was the shell.
With a torch, Zhu Yuanzhang was happy: the other party's shells were actually cast with fine iron! It seems that Zhang Shicheng's army is really not short of iron!
Although the wall of Yingtianfu has received a lot of shells, it has also harvested quite a lot of fine iron. This is soup and free of charge.
Although the warship was captured at the beginning, in case of emergency, the things on the ship did not move. Besides, the shells were all in the box. Before the box was dismantled, no one knew what was inside. In their impression, the shells were made of stone.
"Boom!" Suddenly, the strong wall of Yingtianfu finally suffered a blow and collapsed a large piece.
"General Tang, we have run out of shells." A gunner shouted.
What? Is it over so soon? Tang He also wanted to completely collapse the wall of Yingtianfu, which seemed to be terrible.
"General Tang, the boiler has been warmed up and can sail at any time." A sailor in the cabin said.
"All right, let's go back to Gaoyou Mansion." Tang He said.
If the shells were gone, and if he hadn't been concerned about the safety of the base, Tang He really planned to bombard him for three days and nights.
"Wow!" The whistle rang through the sky, and the steam engine ship finally started.
"Inspect the damage to the city wall, call migrant workers to repair it tomorrow, and dig out all the shells." Zhu Yuanzhang ordered.
Although these shells are not many, there are also hundreds of rounds. If they are all made of fine iron, at least it will be enough for him to make thousands of spears.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the east with a white fish belly. I don't know how Xu Da is? Did you get it?
At this moment, Xu Da is being chased like a homeless dog.
There are less than 200 people left, and the rest are shot down by the sound of fire from the rear.
Who said that Zhang Shicheng's field ability was weak? Now I'm being chased around like a rabbit. If the other party really fights with me in the field, I'm afraid it's not worse than my elite, or even stronger!
Xu Da has no time to think about what kind of tactics and what kind of troops he can use to fight with Zhang Shicheng's army. All he knows is that he has to hurry up and will arrive in Chuzhou soon.
The west of Yangzhou is the boundary of Chuzhou. The biggest feature here is that there are many mountains. I am familiar with the terrain here. Entering here is equivalent to returning home. If the pursuers dare to come in, let them taste their own strength!
Set up an ambush and kill the other party! Xu Da's mind slowly came up with such an idea.
Although Chang Yuchun was brave, he also knew that it was definitely not a way to chase him like this. Although he was constantly destroying the other party, it was impossible to annihilate them at all, especially when there were always backward cavalry acting as death squads, which greatly delayed his actions.
After passing through the Yangzhou boundary, Chang Yuchun hesitated. He has chased out of his own territory. Do you still want to chase him? How can the defenders in Yangzhou react?
As soon as he had an idea, he asked the defenders of Yangzhou for help!
Anyway, now his identity is also an officer, and the pursuer is Zhu Yuanzhang's men, that is, to do things for the court!
The defenders of Yangzhou did not dare to go out. They could not afford to provoke either of them, but they did not dare to offend Chang Yuchun too much, so they added hundreds of war horses to him as support.
For the sake of the Yangzhou garrison, Chang Yuchun is also satisfied. Now, his pursuit force, with rotating horses, is naturally much easier.
In this way, it has been chased to the boundary of Chuzhou.
Looking at the people in front of him, he disappeared into the mountains. Chang Yuchun did not chase again, ending this crazy pursuit.
The cavalry was inconvenient to move in the mountains, the sight of the mountains was blocked, and the advantages of Tianque could not be brought into play. Moreover, he was not familiar with the terrain there. Although Chang Yuchun was brave, he was not brainless. He immediately ordered the retreat.
Xu Da, I'll let you go this time!
Chang Yuchun led his own troops. After this actual combat, he got the most real test. The troops he trained can not only attack from afar, but also fight in close combat. Even if they fight face to face, they will never fall behind.
When he led the army back to the murder port, Tang He also returned to Gaoyou Mansion. The various disturbances involved in this rescue operation came to an end, but the war in the south had just begun.
Tang He shelled Ying Tianfu, and Chang Yuchun led the army to chase Xu Da. In this way, the situation between the two armies was finally broken. Although it was temporarily calm, there was a deep danger hidden.
In Hangzhou, Zhang Yang received a reward from all aspects and immediately saw the problem keenly.
Nowadays, saying that Zhu Yuanzhang is an arbitrary Mr. Zhu, he no longer believes it, or, at the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed like this, but people will always change, and there is always a lot of helplessness.
No matter how you look at it, Zhu Yuanzhang suffered a big loss in the incident at this time, especially Tang He's bombardment of Ying Tianfu, which was simply inciting Zhu Yuanzhang's slap in the face. Can Zhu Yuanzhang swallow his anger?
Xu Da, the general of Zhu Yuanzhang, also lost the battle. With the surnames of these people, there will definitely be action.
Moreover, the court also sent a reward, saying that I, who had just returned, was loyal to the king and patriotic, and resolutely participated in the battle to eliminate the rebels, which was really the blessing of the province and the blessing of the court.
This is simply adding fuel to the fire. I'm afraid that the people in the court are provoking to fight with these Red Turban troops and consume their strength.
However, if the court wants to take some practical action, it can't spare it. Now, the situation in the court is a mess.
Zhang Yang knows that he wants to develop the economy at ease. When his strength is strong enough, he may lose his plan to dominate the world. However, he is not afraid that he is not afraid. Since Zhu Yuanzhang is so ignorant, then destroy him first and expand his territory!
If you want to survive in troubled times, force is the only proof.
