Yongle Emperor's grandson: Zhu Yuanzhang with cheats, Zhu Di went crazy

Chapter 357: One move stirs up a hornet's nest

"Baga! What happened? Where did the explosion come from?"

After half an hour of instigation by the Queen, the Sky Locusts finally showed some signs of weakness. Just as they were preparing to swarm the locust army, an explosion frightened them so much that they disappeared in an instant.

He was like a chicken, holding the quilt and looking around nervously, asking loudly while trembling.

"Your Majesty, it's bad. We have been attacked."

A guard staggered in and reported the situation loudly, but his eyes were always on the queen.

"Baga, is it those damned roads? I already knew they were dissatisfied with me."

Tian Huang was so angry that he started cursing. Guessing that it was one of his own people, he threw the quilt in his arms to the ground and stood naked on the tatami, cursing.

When the guards saw that insignificant existence, their eyes were full of contempt, and they looked at the queen with sympathy.

"It's not clear yet."

"Then why are you still here? Go investigate for me."

Seeing that the man knew nothing and had a sly look in his eyes, Tian Huang immediately became angry and picked up the clogs on the ground and threw them at him.

The guards were so scared that they ran away and quickly ran out to check the situation.

In fact, not only Tianhuang was confused, but other ministers were also confused, and the navy personnel guessed that it was those sika deer.

The elks thought it was the work of the ducks.

People from both sides left their homes angrily, ready to go to Tianhuang to file a complaint against the other side.

As a result, as soon as I went out, I heard fierce gunfire and shouts of killing coming from the city wall.

When they confirmed that it was the army of the Great Yan Kingdom that launched the attack, everyone present was stunned.

This is Shenjing, the capital of their country and the most important place for their power. How did these troops from the Great Yan Country get here? Why didn't they receive any news at all?

Although they were shocked by the news, these guys did not sit still and wait for death. They reported the news to Tianhuang, mobilized troops and mobilized the people to prepare for resistance.

This is the capital of a country. If it is conquered, Fuso will become the biggest joke in the world.

After all, the fight was fierce at the beginning, but in the end their home was stolen. It would be so embarrassing to tell others about it.

When Tian Huang heard the news, he didn't react for a long time. Finally, after being reminded by the ministers many times, he shouted in fear: "Stop them, stop them, stop them at all costs!"

After giving the order, he wanted to escape, but the news he received was that the city was surrounded on all sides and he could not escape.

Tian Huang was instantly as sad as if he had lost his parents. If he had not discovered the enemy only here, he would have wondered if the Great Yan Kingdom had occupied the entire Fuso while he was sleeping.

Sure enough, when there is still hope, people often do not choose to compromise.

Tian Huang gritted his teeth and ordered the Prime Minister to serve as the commander-in-chief and stop the attack of the Yan army at all costs.

The Prime Minister naturally would not refuse, and he never thought of surrendering or compromising.

Twenty years ago, he was still a grassroots commander and went to invade the Great Yan Kingdom. At that time, he killed a lot of people and his name was even published in Fuso newspapers.

Given the vengeance of the people of Dayan, if he chose to compromise, he would definitely receive the most severe punishment, most likely the lingchi of Dayan.

Thinking of the horror of lingchi, the Prime Minister could not help but shudder. He kept issuing orders one after another and at the same time sent telegrams to the outside world, demanding that all the vassal states immediately come to Beijing to defend the king.

After receiving the definite reply, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said to the officers and ministers waiting below: "Hold on for three days. As long as we hold on, victory will be ours."

"Hey!"

Everyone bowed 90 degrees, and the victory belts tied on their heads expressed their determination.

"Damn it, where are the tanks? Why haven't the self-propelled howitzers come up yet?"

At the battle point of the city gate, Jiang An held up a telescope, stared at the blown-open gap and cursed.

The moment the gap was blown open, the Shenji Camp rushed in. Everything went smoothly at first, but then the bunch of little idiots at the back went crazy.

They rushed up from every corner, carrying explosive packs and grenades, and died together with the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion.

After just over a dozen minutes of contact, more than 100 people from the Shenji Battalion were killed.

This made Jiang An's body tremble with pain. These were all soldiers he had trained personally, and he did not expect that they would suffer such heavy casualties at the very beginning. How could he explain this to Zhu Zhanjun?

"idiot!"

A shout came from behind him, Jiang An turned around quickly, and saw Zhu Zhanjun and Lan Yu walking towards him with sullen faces.

"Your Highness!"

"You launched an infantry charge directly without carrying out a covering strike. Is this how you fight a street fight? You have learned nothing about combat tactics."

Zhu Zhanjun came up and started scolding him. Jiang An lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word.

Zhu Zhanjun lay on the periscope, observed the situation on the opposite side, and his brows frowned instantly.

These little idiots were just like crazy. In order to stop the attack of the Shenji Battalion, they launched a counterattack without caring about their lives.

All kinds of suicide methods were used, and since the interior had not been destroyed on a large scale, enemies were everywhere in the paths and houses.

The Shenji Battalion was unfamiliar with the local terrain, and before they knew it, a man holding a bomb jumped out from a dark corner and died together with the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion.

"Order the troops to withdraw!"

Zhu Zhanjun gave the order without hesitation.

Street fighting is the most brutal war, especially in unfamiliar environments, where enemies can come out from anywhere. Cold weapons are fine, as they are a test of each other's bravery and bloodiness.

But hot weapons are different. They can launch sneak attacks on the Ming army in every dark corner.

The horn of retreat sounded, and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion pulled the bodies of their comrades and quickly retreated behind the front line.

But as soon as the Shenji Battalion retreated, those little bastards seemed to have taken stimulants. They rushed out from their hiding places one by one, holding their guns and shooting non-stop.

"Don't worry about the dead, take care of the living first."

Seeing soldiers being knocked down while dragging the bodies of their comrades, Jiang An was so angry that he started cursing.

When the team retreated, Jiang An checked the number of people and almost cried.

Of the 1000 soldiers who launched the attack, only more than 700 returned, and more than 200 did not withdraw or fell in the city.

Zhu Zhanjun looked at Jiang An coldly: "Take a good look at how modern warfare is fought."

He picked up the telephone line that was temporarily connected next to him, shook it vigorously a few times and shouted, "Zhang Dapao, are you ready?"

Three miles away from the attack, artillery positions were stepping up preparations.

Artillery plays a very important role in sieges. In order to strengthen the ability to attack cities, Zhu Zhanjun directly formed an artillery corps with a total of more than 2000 artillery pieces of various calibers.

The commander of the artillery corps was named Zhang Xiaohu, who came from the second world. His name was the same as Xiaohu's. After the two met, in order to distinguish themselves, Zhang Xiaohu, who was from the artillery, directly changed his name to Zhang Dapao.

"Report to Your Highness, the artillery corps is ready." Zhang Dapao glanced at the 20 210 heavy howitzers that he personally commanded and answered confidently.

"Okay, hit me hard. I will provide you with as much as you can."

Upon hearing such a bold answer, Zhang Dapao's eyes lit up.

He has been an artilleryman for so many years, and except for the great moment he had when fighting the Russians, he has never had any fun in all these years. He has been training artillerymen, and now he finally has the chance.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Zhang Dapao shouted excitedly, hung up the phone, and shouted to the messenger beside him: "Tell the other guys that His Highness has promised to bomb as hard as possible. We will give you as much ammunition as you can."

"Yes!"

The messengers' eyes also lit up. Although they were not artillerymen and could not fire the artillery themselves, as communicators of the artillery group, it was also very exciting to listen to the rumbling sound of the artillery.

One by one, they picked up the phone next to them, shook it vigorously a few times and shouted, "Your Highness has ordered, target Shenjing City, unlimited bombardment!"

The order was conveyed, and the commanders of each artillery group had their eyes shining and shouted at the top of their voices.

"Your Highness has ordered that there is no limit to the shooting. You little bastards, you are ready to eat meat. Eat it up!"

“Oh, oh…”

The artillerymen, who had been on standby for a long time, instantly let out excited roars.

"Everyone, fire!"

As red flags were waved, various types of light and heavy artillery began to fire frantically.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

More than 2000 artillery pieces were fired at the same time, and the whole earth was shaking. The sound of the shells rubbing against each other in the air was like the scream of death.

The cheering Japanese soldiers and civilians who had fought off the Ming army were frightened by the sound.

Some experienced officers and veterans turned pale and stood there in a daze.

They neither shouted nor ran away. The dense artillery fire came from at least a thousand guns.

With this kind of terrifying intensive shooting, once you are locked on, there is almost no place to hide.

"Boom, boom, crash..."

The artillery fire came down intensively, and the first target of the attack was the direction of the gap in the city gate.

The artillery bombardment on them was not random. Zhang Dapao, a guy with no sense of responsibility, divided the entire Shenjing city into several areas.

Soldiers who need support at the front can report according to their area and let the artillery carry out designated bombardment.

And this unlimited method of Zhang Dapao is also very simple.

That is to hit 135 first, then hit 246, and then kick 789 when there is time.

This kind of irregular area coverage bombardment makes it impossible for the enemy to hide without finding any pattern.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The coverage of heavy artillery was so terrifying that in the first round of attacks on the gap area, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion could see the shock waves of the artillery shells wherever they looked with their naked eyes.

The houses and alleys that had just been used as hiding places by the Japanese soldiers and civilians collapsed and burned under the coverage of heavy artillery.

Some soldiers with good hearing could vaguely hear screams and shouts of fear.

"Your Highness, the temporary airport has been built and Kunpeng can take off at any time!"

Just as Zhu Zhanjun was observing the effect of the bombardment, the phone rang. Xiaohu picked it up, listened, and handed it to Zhu Zhanjun.

Gao Hang's voice rang out from the microphone. Zhu Zhanjun looked at the bombarded city and calmly ordered: "Load the incendiary bombs and start the attack!" (End of this chapter)
