"It seems to be hitting a little far."

He Jiaan stretched out his hand to take aim at the landing point of the shell, and the first shot actually hit the inside of Nanchang City. Except for the faint black smoke, he didn't even see where it landed.

"Put it one step lower." He Jiaan ordered without looking back, and the people behind him immediately lowered the cannon by one notch. After the shells were loaded, there was another "boom".

Looking at the flames on the city wall in the distance, He Jiaan nodded in satisfaction, and waved his hand: "Let go."

The sound of "Ziz" sounded neatly from the position, and sparks drilled into the gun body, followed by a roar of vengeance, and the shells smashed the city wall of Nanchang with the anger of all the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion.

When the first shell was fired, King Ning was stunned. He really couldn't figure out where the endless shells were fired from. There were mountains in front of him. Where could there be enemy cannons? exist.

King Ning couldn't understand it, but it didn't mean that Xu Jiuling couldn't understand it either. Just after the first shell fell into the city, he realized that there was a big problem. The enemy's shells could hit so far, so he looked outside Afterwards, Xu Jiuling quickly locked the opponent's firing position.

Just locking is one thing, but being able to hit it is another.

I suddenly realized that the opponent in front of me had changed, and it must not be those idiots at the beginning, who foolishly pushed the Fran cannon up against the gunfire. This time they are definitely masters, who know how to stand higher The truth is that the farther you fight, and there is probably only one person in the enemy camp who has such insight, that is... He Jiaan.

He really came.

Thinking of the man he had never seen before, Xu Jiuling always had an unconcealable fear in his heart. From the battle in Paju, he knew that he would definitely not be able to defeat this man, and he would never be able to defeat him in his life.

Now that he has come to Nanchang, what should he do?

The first shot was fired high, and the second shot had already accurately landed on the city wall. Xu Jiuling knew that this was just He Jiaan's aiming, and it was time for the shells to rain down.

Thinking of this, Xu Jiuling desperately shouted to everyone to push the Fran cannon under the city wall immediately, and if they went here, they would just continue to be beaten.

It's just that it's easy to push it up, but it's so easy to push it down. With such a heavy Fran cannon, there is no way to control the speed of pushing it down without more than a dozen people.

The matter is urgent, and there is no need to worry so much. It is better to keep one of these Fran cannons than to be blown up here by He Jiaan's artillery.

Just after transporting down two or three gates, there was a strange sound in the sky, Xu Jiuling raised his head abruptly, and the blue sky just now seemed to be covered with a layer of sand, and the sand suddenly fell down. The flames suddenly lit up on the top of the city, and the sky and the earth began to shake violently.

With such a big city wall, even if you want to hide, you don’t know where to hide. The soldiers on the city wall started to run around like chickens without their heads. .

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Jiuling protected King Ning and withdrew from the city wall first, and the two of them ran down the wall. When they reached the bottom, Xu Jiuling finally breathed a sigh of relief.

King Ning, who had been bowing his head, was still in shock until now. He still dared not let go of Xu Jiuling's arm, and panicked, "Xu Aiqing, what should we do now?"

Xu Jiuling looked up at the city wall, and realized in his heart that Nanchang City might not be able to hold it, and he should think about his own destiny, but before that, he still had one important thing to do.

Thinking of this, Xu Jiuling patted himself on the chest and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as I, Old Xu, can keep Nanchang Mansion, I'm afraid the city wall won't be able to be defended. Your Majesty will follow me back to the palace to defend it."

"Okay, okay." At this time, King Ning grabbed a life-saving straw and refused to let go. He didn't carefully consider the loopholes in Xu Jiuling's words. Run to the palace in the city.

The so-called imperial palace is just the former royal palace. After rebuilding the gate, it dared to call it the imperial palace. The calm palace has now become panic-stricken. He put the gold and silver that he had saved on his back softly, thinking about when he would find a chance to run away from here as soon as possible.

After Xu Jiuling returned to the palace with King Ning, the sound of cannons all around became louder and louder. Except for the north gate, the rumble of cannons had already been heard from the other three city gates. I haven't entered the city yet, I'm afraid it will be a matter of time.

After returning to the palace tremblingly, King Ning walked up and down like ants on a hot pot. After waiting for a long time, Xu Jiuling hurried in and asked quickly, "General Xu, how is the situation? Can we still hold on?"

Keep, how to keep?The opponent's artillery fire is so fierce that the outer city must not be able to defend it. Although there are tens of thousands of troops who can hold on for the time being, how long can they hold on?

Xu Jiuling hesitated for a moment, then shook his head slowly: "Your Majesty, the Ming army is powerful, and there are Fran cannons to help out, we should make plans early."

"Morning, what are your plans?" The expression on King Ning's face became more and more disheartened. Could it be that his nearly 20 army could not stop Zhengde's army?

"Your Majesty, the city wall is definitely no longer able to hold. If we wait until the Ming army enters the city, we can only compress our living space step by step. If the entire army is trapped behind the palace, just being hungry... will starve us. die."

"This..." After thinking about it, what Xu Jiuling said is not impossible. After pondering for a while, King Ning nodded: "Then according to Xu Aiqing's thinking, what should we do next?"

"Your Majesty, why don't we rush out of the city while we still have tens of thousands of troops in our hands? As long as we run, the Ming army's Fran cannons will be useless. We are familiar with the terrain around here, so we can lead them If you run away with your nose, maybe you can bite them back."

This big cake painting made King Ning's heart move. It seems that there is no other way to think about it except this method. It's just that there are four gates, east, west, north, south, which gate should he rush out from?

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the general has sent people to check. There are Ming troops in the southeast and west gates, and Zhengde's army is also at the east gate at this time. However, the north gate is vacant. Let's rush out through the north gate. The other party has an ambush, and they won't be able to keep our hundreds of thousands of horses, and the general will definitely be able to keep His Majesty from rushing out of the city."

"Okay, just do what Aiqing says." King Ning nodded, and after an hour of discussion, King Ning began to ask people to pack up the gold and silver in the palace, and take what they could bring with them. Take everything with you, and burn everything you can't take away.

The rumbling cannons kept ringing non-stop until most of the city walls of Nanchang fell down. The cannons gradually weakened. The flags of the Zhengde army appeared in the distance outside the city. It seemed that they were about to The city is under siege.

At this time, there was a long team gathered at the north gate of Nanchang Mansion. Xu Jiuling, who was in the lead, looked back at King Ning behind him, with an unnoticed smile on his face, and waved his hand: "Open the city gate."

Chapter 1529

The battle went so smoothly, probably beyond He Jiaan's expectations. Standing on the top of the hill, he looked at the Nanchang city that had been blasted into a sea of ​​flames in the distance, but his mood was ups and downs. He remembered what he had thought when he was in Nanchang, but now It all came to nothing.

I once wanted to assist King Ning well, even if he couldn't prevent him from rebelling, it would still give him a chance to win.

Unexpectedly, he was stabbed in the back by Wang Lun. Under such a good situation, he could only disband the militia. If the militia had not been disbanded back then, what a mighty iron army it would become now.

It is useless to think about these things, and now I seem to be the most jealous existence in the eyes of others. Even when Cao Yuan talked to me a few days ago, I could feel the strong taste of jealousy in his words.

Fighting, others are dissatisfied.

Promotion, others are dissatisfied.

If you really just want to live your life comfortably, you may only be able to realize your wish in Mancijia.

The artillery fire finally stopped gradually, but He Jiaan did not order to continue the attack. His eyes turned from the burning city of Nanchang to the bottom of the hillside, where hundreds of officers and soldiers were waving countless banners, trying to create countless The illusion of human existence, but the army of Zhengde did not know where it went.

What I can do and what I have already done, the next thing is to see if King Ning will be fooled.

There was a "squeak" sound from the city gate, and Xu Jiuling's men and horses had already rushed out before the maximum opening time, and the horseshoes made a crisp "kicking" sound on the bluestone road, and started their own escape.

Counting the downsizing along the way and the soldiers who stayed in the city, King Ning only had about 10 people left in his body. These people surrounded King Ning's chariots in the middle of the team and began to quickly run out of the city.

After leaving the city, Xu Jiuling's attention was focused on both sides of the road. Unlike the other three directions, the north gate of Nanchang still had a large piece of flat land, which was not suitable for the enemy to ambush. After rushing out ten miles, it slowly stopped.

Seeing that there was no one around, Xu Jiuling summoned his confidantes and discussed with them in a low voice. Everyone had a look of excitement on their faces. After nodding to each other, they all stopped.

King Ning's chariot battle was mixed among the soldiers, so the speed would naturally not be fast. Although I was anxious, but thinking of what Xu Jiuling said to me, I even felt that I still had the strength to fight. After running ten miles like this, I suddenly saw Xu Jiuling and other people stopped not far ahead, their faces were anxious, and they didn't know what trouble they had encountered.

"Xu Aiqing, why did you stop? Could it be that there are Zhengde's ambush ahead?" King Ning couldn't help frowning. It would be really troublesome to meet an ambush here.

Xu Jiuling was overjoyed, he was worrying about what excuse he should find to win King Ning's trust, so he sent the excuse over by himself, and came to King Ning with a thoughtful expression, Xu Jiuling hesitated for a while, and suddenly sighed Take a breath.

"Xu Aiqing, what's the matter with you, could it be...?" King Ning subconsciously thought that he was blocked by Zhengde's army, and he waved his hands again and again with the expression on his face: "Hurry up, Xu Aiqing, Hurry up and lead someone over there."

Xu Jiuling, who had pretended to be deep for a long time, saw that his confidantes had taken advantage of this time to surround King Ning's chariot battle, and finally showed a sense of relief on his face, smiled slightly, and then shook his head: "Your Majesty misunderstood, the front Zhengde's army was not found."

"Oh, I was taken aback." Ning Wang patted his chest, looking frightened, but when his eyes fell on Xu Jiuling's face again, he seemed to be surprised by Xu Jiuling's complicated and strange eyes. Saw a hint of greed.

Huh?

Could it be that I saw it wrong?
