A strange drum sound came, and the sound of artillery outside the capital gradually subsided.
The rebel soldiers on the city wall were surprised and pleasantly surprised to find that the sound of the cannons that blasted them and others from east to west, north and south, finally disappeared.
The smoke and dust gradually dispersed, and the scene on the capital city wall made everyone take a breath.
The city wall that had been mostly repaired by the rebels once again turned into ruins. Countless crenellations of the city wall were missing, and debris fell rustling under the city wall.
The gate tower of the east city gate was even missing half of its corner, and the rebels were busy putting out the raging fire on the tower.
Densely packed corpses with unclear faces were piled on the city wall. Before a close encounter, more than 10,000 rebels were killed or injured in the half-day artillery bombardment.
The advantages of hot weapons against cold weapons are completely revealed.
Generals like Jiangzhou and Lu Gui slapped the dust on their armor and helmets in disgrace. Their faces had long been covered with a thin layer of dust. If it weren't for the different styles of armor, even the rebels wouldn't be able to recognize who the natives in front of them would be. His own general.
"Ahem... Bah..."
"Brother Jiang, what's going on? Why did the enemy's artillery stop for so long this time?"
"Huh? What did you say? Louder!"
Jiang Zhou's ears were ringing so badly that he couldn't hear clearly what Lu Gui asked.
Lu Gui also realized that his voice was too soft, because the level of his tinnitus was almost the same as Jiang Zhou's, so he had to ask again loudly.
Hearing Lu Gui's confused voice, Jiang Zhou raised his head and looked outside the city.
"Not only did the artillery stop, but the enemy's cavalry and infantry also retreated. What did Liu Mingzhi want to do? He fought for two days and was beaten passively. He suffered more than 10,000 casualties. He didn't even see the enemy's face clearly. Really It’s so fucking frustrating.”
"Nine times out of ten, what kind of evil is this bastard Liu Mingzhi holding back?"
"Personal Guard!"
"arrive!"
"Let the uninjured brothers immediately carry the injured brothers down for treatment. As many as we can save!"
"Got the order!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Gui also leaned out and looked outside the city. Sure enough, as Jiang Zhou said, the enemy troops carrying siege ladders outside the city were slowly retreating.
This situation left Lu Gui completely confused.
"Brother Jiang, is it that Liu Mingzhi's artillery is out of shells? Otherwise, how could you just say retreat and retreat?"
Jiang Zhou shook his head blankly: "Who knows what Liu Mingzhi is doing? As you guessed, he probably doesn't have many artillery shells left, otherwise there is no reason why he shouldn't take advantage of our victory to attack us."
"But you have to be careful. It may be Liu Mingzhi's trick to lure the enemy. They say Liu Mingzhi uses his troops to win by surprise. Anyone who says this is a fucking fart."
"I have been in the army for twenty years, and I have never seen such a cunning way of using troops, and I have never seen such a cunning commander."
"What a fucking bullshit handsome guy in white, he doesn't even dare to fight with a real sword or a real gun."
"I hope that as you said, this bastard has used up all his artillery shells. Otherwise, if we continue to be beaten like this, let alone ten days, it will be three days, and our brothers will be demoralized."
"I have never fought such a frustrating battle. This bastard Liu Mingzhi is nothing but a fucking thing."
Jiang Zhou kept spitting out sweet things. People in the military were always fiery and straightforward people. In addition, after being beaten for so long, one can imagine Jiang Zhou's hatred for Young Master Liu.
However, no matter how much he cursed, Young Master Liu couldn't hear it, and Young Master Liu wouldn't care if he heard it.
No matter what method it is, if it works, it is a good method.
I don't care how the battle is successful, but Young Master Liu doesn't care whether the method is destructive or not.
You are all my enemies, how can I still be kind to you?
The rebels on the city wall were confused, and the soldiers who got the drumbeat of retreat again were also confused.
A group of generals trotted towards Young Master Liu, with doubtful looks on their faces.
"Commander, why are you withdrawing your troops again?"
"Yes, Commander, the brothers are working hard. Why did you stop attacking the city again when everything is going well?"
Young Master Liu turned over and dismounted, looking at a group of depressed-looking generals and glaring at them one by one.
"Why are you howling? They are like a bunch of unweaned babies. Do you still have any military rules? Everyone stand still!"
"Got the order!"
Young Master Liu's face became fierce, and all the generals stopped trembling and did not dare to complain. They stood obediently and waited for reprimands.
There was no way, they were all old men under Young Master Liu. They knew that Young Master Liu's method of punishing people was really perverted, so it was okay to talk back and make jokes in private, but many generals on the battlefield did not dare to stroke the commander's tiger beard.
Young Master Liu looked helplessly at the generals and sighed.
"Don't you want me to continue attacking the city? Don't forget that I boast about Haikou. If I don't capture the capital within ten days, I will kill myself."
"I am no more anxious than you are, but what can you do if you are anxious? The artillery shells are almost used up, so I have to think of other ways."
The generals were stunned for a moment and suddenly looked towards the artillery position. Only then did they realize that there were not many shell boxes piled around the artillery.
Only then did I understand why Young Master Liu wanted to withdraw his troops.
I just saw the enemy troops on the city wall being beaten by artillery and it was very satisfying, but I forgot that the shells consumed by artillery were also a bottomless pit.
"Commander, what should we do next? Break the city gate and charge with the whole army?"
"The General seconded my opinion, Marshal, if that doesn't work, let's break through the city and charge. We have been fighting for two days, and we haven't even touched the enemy's clothes. Although this is indeed very refreshing, it still feels weird for the brothers to salute."
"That's right, Commander. Let's just charge forward. Let's fight with real swords and guns. My brothers have never been afraid of anyone."
Listening to Song Qing, Cheng Kai and others urging him to charge with all his troops, Young Master Liu hurriedly raised his hand to stop them.
"Stop, stop, stop!"
"Everyone shut up!"
Song Qing and others immediately fell silent, looking at Young Master Liu depressedly not knowing what to say.
In the past experience, all the coaches have not taught themselves and others to lead their soldiers to kill the enemy bravely. That is, the fiercer, the better, and the crazier, the better.
But since I followed Young Master Liu, if you want to say that I fought with passion, it was really passionate, but if you want to say that I feel aggrieved, it is really a bit aggrieved.
If Young Master Liu wanted to be a coward, he would be an airtight iron bastard.
"A bunch of reckless men, they rely on their brains to fight, don't you know?"
"Charge with your mouth open, charge with your mouth closed, and often walk by the river. How can your shoes not get wet? You may not be alive one day! You really think you are invulnerable!"
After glaring at Song Qing and the others, Young Master Liu held up his telescope and looked over. After a long time, Young Master Liu showed a sinister smile on his lips that made Song Qing and others tremble.
"Song Qing listens to the order!"
"The general will obey orders."
"Organize a group of sharpshooters who can shoot three-stone bows for me overnight. As many as there are."
"Got the order!"
"Cheng Kai obeys the order!"
"The general is here!"
"Calling all the craftsmen together to build bed crossbows overnight, we can make as many as we can!"
"The general will get the order!"
"Jiang Lei, Han Zhong obeys the order."
"The general is here!"
"Put away all the artillery. Be sure to let the rebels see your action of putting away the artillery."
"Got the order!"
Young Master Liu turned around and clapped his hands to the little cutie on the horse: "My good daughter, come down first and follow Uncle Song. Daddy has something to do under the city wall."
The little cutie shook her head reluctantly: "Yue'er wants to follow daddy."
"No, who knows if those grandsons on the city wall are as shameless as dad. It's too dangerous for you to follow dad. Follow uncle first. Dad will be back soon."
"real?"
"When did daddy lie to you?"
"Okay, Yue'er is waiting for you, you must come back soon!"
"Well, daddy will definitely do it!"
After giving the little cutie to Song Qing, Young Master Liu got on his horse and waved to the generals.
"You all act as ordered, and I will make a date with the rebels!"
Under the blank gazes of Song Qing and others, Young Master Liu held up his shield and galloped towards the bottom of the city wall.
While it was time to drink tea, Mr. Liu raised his wine bag to moisten his throat, and looked at the crimson-faced Lu and Gui trio on top of the city wall and made an insulting gesture with their hands.
"Thief Sun has made an agreement. If a man doesn't attack with his entire army tomorrow, he will be the one who spits and nails."
"You'd better all defend the city, otherwise there are only a hundred thousand people and it won't be enough for me to fill my teeth with the brothers under my command."
Jiang Zhou took a deep breath and trembled in anger when he remembered what Young Master Liu had just said to greet his and other eighteen generations of ancestors.
This is not the Generalissimo of the Armed Forces. He is not that despicable as a local ruffian. He is simply inhuman.
Jiangzhou looked at Young Master Liu with red eyes: "Liu Mingzhi, you bastard, I will wait for you to charge with the whole army tomorrow. If you don't come, you will be my grandson."
Young Master Liu spat everywhere, raised his middle finger to Jiang Zhou and turned his horse's head away.
"Just wait, if I can't kill you tomorrow, you will be raised by your great-grandmother!"
