please make me king

Chapter 1227 Deadlock
Ji Longfeng hid on top of the enemy building, staring at the opposite tower, unable to advance, and unwilling to retreat.

The watchtower was [-] or [-] steps away from the tower of the Ming army, and the shotgun was almost out of reach.

Safe is safe, but he has no idea how to attack.

It's just that before he lost his thoughts, he heard the sound of cannons from the opposite side again and again, and couldn't help being surprised.

Ji Longfeng took a sneak peek under the cover of the ID card on the enemy building.

Seeing dozens of shells swarming towards him, he couldn't help shrinking his head quickly, and exclaimed: "My life is over!"

Immediately there was a sound of shells hitting masonry, and the gravel splashed for a while, screaming again and again, and it is unknown how many people were killed and injured.

After finally waiting for the shelling to end, Ji Longfeng hurriedly checked her whole body, and found that there was no missing arm or leg, so she couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Then, he looked at the people again, and found that except for a few soldiers who were injured by the gravel, most of them had no casualties, so he couldn't help being extremely surprised.

Where are you?

It turns out that this Pingyang Mansion has not experienced military affairs for a long time, swords and guns were put into storage, released to Manan Mountain, and there are very few artisans in Pingyang Weizhong who are good at using swords, guns and firecrackers, let alone artillery with a higher degree of professionalism.

Let these people load some gunpowder and shotguns and release them. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether they are accurate or not.

However, if they are asked to load solid ammunition for accurate shooting, they will die.

Under the command of Li Yi'ao, the deputy envoy, all the gunners fired indiscriminately, but none of them were hit.

Ji Longfeng saw that he understood, and when he was lucky, he prepared to lead the soldiers to retreat.

But he thought about it again, this time he worked hard and failed, and he might not be as good as Wukong, Wang Jinyi and others in King Shun's mind in the future.

He couldn't help thinking: "I see that the soldiers of the Ming army are mediocre and difficult to fight. Now I can't attack, and the Ming army may not be able to attack. If this is the case, why don't I stay here temporarily, waiting for changes."

Thinking of this, Ji Longfeng couldn't help pointing to dozens of people and said: "You guys stay here with me, and I will ask King Shun for your credit later."

"The rest of the people retreated to the place where they boarded the city for the time being, waiting for the opportunity to fight."

"If this watchtower can be defended, you will come to help me; if the watchtower cannot be defended, you will either retreat to the city or guard the ladder to climb the city depending on the situation."

The other soldiers were all "death men". Hearing that Ji Longfeng was in danger, he was moved and said, "If the general doesn't return, we will definitely stick to it!"

"Today, we shall live and die together. Anyone who dares to abandon his comrades will be attacked by all the people in the world!"

Seeing that the morale was available, Ji Longfeng sent everyone to evacuate, and led thirty people to hide in the enemy building.

Sure enough, after several rounds of continuous shooting, the officers and soldiers on the tower saw that they could not hit the enemy tower, so they could only watch helplessly as the rebel soldiers retreated, and they couldn't help becoming anxious.

Wang Shunzheng, the prefect of Pingyang, couldn't help but asked anxiously: "What should I do? In the world, there is only a thousand days to be a thief. How can there be a thousand days to guard against a thief?"

Unexpectedly, the commanding envoy Tang Yao didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about the magistrate, there is no food in this city, and there is no water, what will he do?"

"Even if they can not eat or drink, even if they stay for a hundred years, how can they help?"

Wang Shunzheng's face darkened when he heard the words, he only said that he refuted his feelings in public.

The deputy envoy Li Yi'ao saw the quarrel between the two of them, he quickly explained: "The commander doesn't know something, when you were resting last night, the magistrate and I just received a letter from the magistrate of Yueyang asking for help."

"Nazhi County claims that a thief suddenly appeared under the city and is attacking Yueyang County violently."

"If this is true, I won't be allowed to resist slowly."

Tang Yao was taken aback when he heard the words, and then understood what Li Yi'ao, the deputy envoy, meant.

If there are really thieves attacking Yueyang County, it means that he and others will soon be surrounded in the isolated city of Pingyang.

It is difficult to defend their own isolated city. If they really fall into that situation, I am afraid that they will all die without a place to bury them.

Thinking of this, Tang Yao frowned, and couldn't help asking: "It's just that my Pingyang soldiers are not as fierce as the thieves, so what can I do?"

What you said sounds good, the key is that you can't beat the thief in hand-to-hand combat, so what can you do?
"In my opinion, you might as well push the cannon out and fire at a closer distance, which may relieve my worries about melee combat." Wang Shunzheng hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help suggesting.

"Okay, okay, this method is good!" Tang Yao was taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't expect the prefect who had never known soldiers to have such quick wit, he couldn't help clapping his hands and praised.

Li Yi'ao, the deputy envoy, was a little worried that this method would not be reliable, but seeing that the command envoy Tang Yao had agreed, he stopped talking.

The story is divided into two parts, let alone how to fight in the city, let's say that Zhang Shun couldn't help being very anxious when he saw that the dare-to-die soldiers of the rebel army were bombarded by the artillery of the Ming army.

He couldn't help running to the artillery position himself, and asked the artillery officer Zhao Yi: "The daredevils in the city are frustrated in their attack, can you use the artillery to help him?"

"It's not easy!" Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "All the artillery techniques of the Rebel Army originated from His Highness. Your Highness should know that there are two types of cannon: direct fire and curved fire."

"Such as field cannons and general Qingtian cannons, they all shoot directly, and cannot penetrate the enemy's tower for a while; while golden cannons, flying blunderbuss, etc., all shoot in a curved line, and because the enemy's tower has three floors up and down, they cannot penetrate the enemy's tower. And come in, please forgive me for being powerless."

Knowing this, Zhang Shun couldn't help scratching his head.

How to do how to do?
"Your Highness, the gunners of the Ming army failed, but they missed!" Zhao Yi, who borrowed Zhang Shun's binoculars, observed for a while while Zhang Shun was pondering, and suddenly said pleasantly.

"What? Let me see!" Zhang Shun was taken aback when he heard the words, and quickly took a look through the binoculars. He was surprised to see that the enemy platform in the city was safe and sound.

Then Zhang Shun saw the orderly retreat of the daredevils in the city, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

He just came here for a while, but he didn't see Ji Longfeng coming out of the enemy building, and he couldn't help feeling another thump in his heart.

What's the matter, is Ji Longfeng gone?

However, when Zhang Shun saw the retreating soldiers stationed at the entrance of the ladder, he quickly realized that it must be Ji Longfeng stationed at the enemy platform, ready to counterattack.

Can this be done?

Zhang Shun hesitated for a moment, and decided to do something: "Prepare the Feibiao blunderbuss, first charge the gunpowder and load it into the chamber, and aim at the enemy's tower!"

"Your Highness King Shun, it's so futile!" Artillery officer Zhao Yi frowned upon hearing this, and couldn't help admonishing him.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to see if there are any changes in the city!" Zhang Shun also knew that even if the powerful flying blunderbuss attacked the top, it would be impossible to penetrate the roof and floor of the three-story tower.

Since Ji Longfeng wants to do something, as a commander, he must provide him with help within his ability.

The flying blunderbuss with a curved trajectory is the best choice. No matter what happens in the city, it can provide timely fire support.

Zhang Shun was thinking, while staring at the situation in the city with binoculars.

I don't know how long it took, but when Zhang Shun's eyes started to shed tears, he finally saw the movement.

"Okay, it's moving, it's finally moving!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but patted his thigh and laughed.

"His Royal Highness King Shun, what's the situation?" Zhao Yi was taken aback when he heard the words, he couldn't see clearly under the city, so he couldn't help but enviously glanced at Zhang Shun's binoculars and asked.

"Let the Feibiao get ready, aim at the gate on the west side of the enemy tower!" Zhang Shun could not help but calmly ordered.

"Yes!" Zhao Yi hurriedly dictated to the left and right, asking Fei Biao gunner to adjust the angle and gunpowder, and be ready to shoot at any time.
