The time given by Gao Jue has passed, and the three door openings of the Xiangfu Gate of Shenglong City and the six thick copper-nailed doors remained tightly closed without any movement. On the tower, there were a few figures wandering around all the time, poking their heads and pointing.
Gao Jue on the bridge looked at the hourglass, shook his head slightly, and ordered: "Get ready to fire... However, aim carefully and only hit the city gate. Be careful not to miss the target. If a bombardment hits Mo Maoqia's 'Imperial Palace' Go in and blow him up, that would be a bit troublesome, and even if you don't blow him up, it won't look good on everyone."
Gao Jue said this because he had received instructions from Gao Jingshi. Gao Jingshi did not intend to exterminate the Mo family... In fact, the Mo family is a large Annan clan, and it would be difficult to kill them all, so Gao Jingshi planned to use other methods to deal with it. Moh's.
In this case, in terms of face, it is best to maintain it first and avoid causing too much embarrassment in the future.
Of course, if Mo Maoqia can't open the door, the cannon will still be fired.
Xiangfumen is too close to the dock. Gao Jue has already asked the sailors who fired the cannons, and firing the cannons on the ship can ensure sufficient power. Moreover, this is not the sea but the lower reaches of the Red River. Although the water flow is not slow, the waves can be almost ignored. Regardless, it has little effect on the accuracy of the naval gun - anyway, it is a side salvo. If this gun misses that gun, if it hits one or two at random, this kind of wooden city gate will definitely penetrate.
Naval guns are much more powerful than the artillery that accompanies marching armies.
There was a loud bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. It exploded, and broken beams, broken bricks, broken tiles and other objects flew out in all directions.
After a while, there was a muffled sound. Like a building block with a key piece removed, most of the two-story west corner tower collapsed. Smoke and dust filled the air, almost covering the entire tower.
The main school shooter glanced at Gao Jue awkwardly, and Gao Jue was also a little embarrassed, but fortunately, he still hit the general area of "city gate", just missed the main gate. After all, the waves on the river are not as good as those on the sea. A lot, but there are still some ups and downs, and if there is a slight deviation, he feels that it is not a big deal.
But those who deserve punishment will still be punished.
"I will be fined one tael of silver, and I will be imprisoned for one day after this battle." Gao Jue said expressionlessly.
Boss Hu and Boss Li were secretly stunned, not because of how serious the punishment was, but... they felt that this was a very accurate attack. After all, the turret of the city gate was also considered a city gate.
The spotter breathed a sigh of relief. A fine of one tael was not a small amount of money, but for a "technical worker" like him, it was not a big sum. His monthly salary was eight taels, and he also received allowances for overseas missions. , I can afford to lose one tael of silver, as long as this kind of thing doesn't happen often.
Although this shot was a little missed for Jinghua, the Annan people on the opposite side did not know that Jinghua was originally going to hit the main entrance of the city gate. They only knew that a boat on the river fired a cannon. After one round of cannon, One of the sturdy turrets of Xiangfu Gate collapsed.
what does that mean? This means that if dozens of warships on the opposite side fire at the same time, the entire Xiangfumen will disappear in a salvo! What's the point of this? If the city wall was gone, would the tens of thousands of old and weak people in Thang Long City dare to stand in front of such a devastating artillery piece, let alone a fight?
After the smoke and dust dispersed, a white flag stretched out from the battlement and danced desperately.
Gao Jue sneered and said: "You know the Annan people are like this, they always take chances! How do you say that? Yi Di are like animals, they are afraid of power but not virtuous."
Hey, Gaotuanzuo, what you said seems to be a little inconsistent with your master. Your consciousness... well, it needs to be improved.
However, it is obvious that Gao Jue is not the only one who needs to improve his consciousness. Boss Hu and Boss Li also congratulated each other. Boss Hu complimented him and said: "Gao Tuanzuo, this is not just fear of power and lack of morality. It is simply not like the Yellow River." If your heart is not dead, you will not shed tears until you see the coffin.”
"Yes, yes!" Boss Li also joined in the fun and said: "You won't die until you see the Yellow River, and you won't cry until you see the coffin! This is a true portrayal of the Annan people!"
Gao Jue smiled slightly, waved his hand, turned to the captain, first mate and others on the ship: "Okay, let's inform Bu Ding that we can prepare for the landing!"
"yes!"
At this time, the city gate had also been opened, but it was not the middle door that opened, but the door on the left. It only opened a small crack. After two people squeezed out, it was closed again.
It was clear from the telescope that one of them was none other than the previous eunuch Zhang. At this time, eunuch Zhang was holding a piece of white cloth in his hand, raising it above his head and waving it wildly, as if he was having a convulsion.
And the man behind him was wearing a black gauze and a python robe—eh, a python robe?
Gao Jue was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that this man was wearing Annan's python robe, which was almost exactly the same as the Ming Dynasty's python robe, but it was not actually awarded by the Ming Dynasty.
No matter which court's python robe you wear, since it is a python robe, it is always the right one for a high official.
Ha, finally someone is willing to show up?
The two people walked quickly to the deserted pier and walked down the steps to a rowing boat - it should be the one that Eunuch Zhang rode on before, but at this time there was no servant rowing the rowing boat. The one in the python robe Sitting on the small boat, like Eunuch Zhang, he had to act as the oarsman for himself.
Well, now, the python robe looks a bit funny.
However, Gao Jue was not interested in whether he was funny or not. Instead, he wondered in his mind, what were these two doing?
Descend the table and hand over the seal? It doesn't seem right. Shouldn't Mo Maoqia be the only one qualified to do this? And... I'm afraid I'm not qualified to surrender, right?
Gao Jue met the two men on the bridge. The other party was not verbose, especially the Annan official who was wearing a python robe. As soon as he came in front of Gao Jue, he cupped his hands and said, "I, Annan Xuanfu Secretary Haiyang Xuanfu Mo Jingzhi, have met the general."
In fact, he already knew Gao Jue's identity, but even if the leader of the servants was called Tuan Zheng, he was not as nice as a general, so he called him a general.
"Mo Jingzhi?" Gao Jue nodded: "You are a clan member of the Mo clan. What is your status in Mo Dynasty?"
"This..." Mo Jingzhi felt a little embarrassed, but he had to lower his head under the eaves, so he still whispered: "Gong Xiongli, Governor Haiyang."
Gao Jue was very satisfied and asked, "What is the purpose of Duke Xiongli coming here?"
What's the purpose of this? I would like to ask why you are here!
But of course you can't say this, otherwise it will be bad if you are shot by gunfire later...
"The commander-in-chief of my family is suffering from an eye disease and cannot see anything. Although he was overjoyed when he heard that the Celestial Army was coming to aid me in Annan, he found it difficult to leave the city to welcome him. Therefore, he wanted to invite the general to come to the city for a meeting... Oh, of course. , your army can all go to the city to rest."
Gao Jue was stunned and thought to himself: Why am I here to help Annan?
