The army of Qi State continued on its way, heading west.
Because the speed of the journey has increased slightly, in less than three days, we have approached Puchang City. Especially along the way, Wang Qi's army did not encounter any obstacles, and the people along the way rarely saw it. These people who left were all ordered by Cao Xuan to hide to avoid being affected by the Qi army.
Wang Qi¡¯s army was close to Puchang County, and the army was stationed directly outside the south gate.
All the artillery units were in position and all ambush.
Army, all ready.
With just one order, you can directly attack Puchang City.
Xiao Qingzhi came to Wang Qi's side and reported: "Your Majesty, everything is ready. As long as your Majesty gives the order, troops can be sent to attack Puchang City at any time. According to the information we have found, Cao Xuan is still in Puchang and has not escaped this time. .¡±
Wang Qi nodded and said: "Let's go ahead and bombard Puchang directly. There is no need to shout out or arrange other matters. This time, there is no need to wait anymore, we must directly attack the city."
"yes!"
Xiao Qingzhi immediately agreed.
After receiving Wang Qi¡¯s instructions, he came to the frontline headquarters and issued the order to attack.
With the order being issued, the artillerymen first loaded the shells one by one, and the mortars aimed at the tower, and began bombarding everywhere. The sound of rumbling cannon fire was endless.
Cannonballs passed through the air one after another, flying towards the towers of Gaochang in the blink of an eye. When the cannonballs fell on the tower one after another, there were sudden explosions and fires one after another on the tower.
Under the bombardment of the artillery shells, the tower shook, and the explosion was so powerful that the soldiers guarding the tower were frightened. Everyone was nervous, fearing that their hiding place would be bombed.
Even so, the defenders on the city tower were still guarding the city.
The defenders stood guard and waited for the Qi army to attack.
After about a quarter of an hour of shelling, the walls of Gaochang were filled with holes and holes. At this time, Xiao Qingzhi gave another order, and the soldiers responsible for blasting began to rush forward, preparing to break down the city gate.
To break the city gate, a large amount of gunpowder bombing is required, which requires soldiers responsible for blasting to step forward.
This group of soldiers quickly advanced under the cover of firing from their own artillery battalion and the soldiers in the rear. In less than half an hour, they had arrived at the city gate and began to quickly pile up explosives.
Pack after pack of explosives were piled up, and as soon as the fuse was lit, the soldiers quickly retreated.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Hey! !
The fuse kept burning.
"Boom! Boom!!"
A moment later, an explosion sounded. After the continuous explosions, the city gate of Puchang was already in a shaky situation. The soldiers responsible for blasting took action one after another, blasting twice in a row before blowing open the city gate.
It¡¯s just that everyone didn¡¯t rush forward, but quickly retreated. In an era without rifles and cannons, if the city gates were broken, the city would almost fall.
But now, it is different. Even if the city gate falls, that is, the city gate is just open, the rifle defense line set up by the enemy inside is enough to guard the city gate in a short time, form a fire intersection point, and defeat the advancing army.
The bombing continued. When Xiao Qingzhi saw that the city gate had been blown open, he gave the order for a large-scale attack.
This attack is a forcible attack.
We must directly break the city.
Under the cross cover of artillery and rifles, more and more soldiers ran quickly and rushed forward. The entire Qi State launched the most violent and powerful offensive.
At the same time, Cao Wei's army on the city tower also began to counterattack.
Rifle shooting and artillery bombardment continued to block the advancing Qi soldiers.
The two sides used Nancheng as the battlefield and began a fierce battle.
When they were fighting on the tower in Nancheng, they were in the military camp inside the city.
Cao Xuan has personally visited the military camp in Nancheng, sitting in the tent and personally paying attention to the battle on the battlefield. He sat in the tent, quietly waiting for the news. As for Cao Yuanli, he took the place of Cao Xuan and personally went to the tower to give orders.
Cheng Lin was sitting under Cao Xuan. He smiled and said: "Your Majesty, we are now defending the city. We have cannons, rifles, and gunpowder. We are enough to defend it without any problems."
Cao Xuandao: "Let's wait and see."
Cheng Lin took a deep breath, suppressed her inner impatience, and waited quietly.
&nbsIt¡¯s over.
I won¡¯t be a deserter anymore.
But now, he has fallen into the same curse that happened in the past. Should he evacuate again?
They have retreated to Gaochang, can they resist?
After being betrayed by all the nobles in this battle, and even the nobles led by Aimaiti rebelled, Cao Xuan's strength dropped to the lowest level, and it would definitely be impossible to wash away his shame in the future.
The betrayal of the nobles means that the nobles from other places will also betray one after another. The final result was that Cao Xuan seemed to be retreating, but in fact, he had no place to stand in the Western Region.
Cao Xuan¡¯s situation will be extremely difficult.
Cheng Lin saw that Cao Xuan was hesitant to make a decision. He knew that Cao Xuan was helpless, but the situation was so critical that no delay could be tolerated. Cheng Lin quickly persuaded him: "Your Majesty, it's time to make a decision. If you continue to delay, the consequences will be disastrous."
Cao Xuan hesitated.
He didn¡¯t want to retreat.
With this defeat, I don¡¯t know how deep the defeat is.
Cheng Lin said again: "Your Majesty, no matter what the situation is, we must respond. If we continue to fight, we will be disturbed. The final result will be that it affects us. If you want to retreat, retreat immediately, and if you want to fight, fight to the end. Old minister, I swear to follow Your Majesty to the death."
He seemed extremely calm.
¡°Anyway, we have reached where we are now.
No need to delay any more.
After hearing this, Cao Xuan muttered: "Then let's fight. I don't want to run away, and I don't want to leave. Even if I lose, I will fight to the end. Even if I die, I will fight to the death."
Cheng Lin said: "Old minister, I will follow your majesty to the death."
Cao Xuan shook his head and said: "Prime Minister, please leave quietly. You have been fighting with me for many years, and you have been a patchwork tailor all these years. Thank you for your hard work."
Cheng Lin shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, I will not leave. I said that I will follow your Majesty to the death."
Cao Xuandao: "It's not necessary."
Cheng Lin smiled sadly and said: "No matter whether it is necessary or not, I will not serve the two masters. As long as I follow your Majesty, I will be a member of the Wei State. I will rest until I die!"
When Cao Xuan heard this, he laughed loudly and said, "Okay, let's just fight."
"Here comes someone!"
Cao Xuan ordered loudly.
"exist!"
The soldiers at the door entered immediately.
Cao Xuan ordered: "Send the order, organize the troops, and attack Aimaiti with all their strength. Kill them and fight to the end. I will personally lead the army to fight."
"Follow your orders!"
The soldier received the order and turned around to inform him. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
