The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 49 I'm waiting for the tiger squatting cannon, are you waiting for death?

Lingnan, Yongzhou City,

The Song army, like a tide, was climbing up the city walls with the help of siege weapons.

However, facing the Song army, the Pingnan army guarding the city wall easily drove them away.
After all, with the same combat power, your armor is not as good-looking as mine, nor as strong as mine, so what can you use to fight?
After several failed sieges, Di Qing finally realized that the Pingnan Army was not able to conquer Nanya by "persuading surrender".
"How many Pingnan troops are there in the city?"

When Di Qing asked the commander of the Imperial City Division, he showed a serious look on his face.

Because compared to Nong Zhigao's army, the Pingnan Army is stronger in all aspects!

"It was estimated that there would be around 10,000 people! But only 3,000 were deployed to defend the city today!"

Looking at Di Qing in front of him, the commander of the Imperial City Division hurriedly explained,

"Three thousand people?"

Frowning in confusion, Di Qing showed a look of astonishment on his face.
Because according to the combat effectiveness of the Pingnan Army, they could definitely go out of the city and fight in the field, so why should they retreat and defend the city?
Thinking of this, Di Qing tapped his chair and asked, "Could it be that the Pingnan Army has reinforcements?"

"General Di, the Pingnan Army is fighting on two fronts, and Tubo has also been attacked. Perhaps they can't spare enough troops, so they have no choice but to defend the city!"

Looking at Di Qing, the generals beside him hurriedly explained,

But after hearing his words, Di Qing couldn't help but frowned and said, "Send someone to pull the thunder cannon and make sure to capture Yongzhou!"

"Thunderbolt Cannon?"

Looking at Di Qing, the generals under him were all stunned.
Because the terrain of Lingnan is different from that of the Central Plains, especially heavy weapons like the Thunderbolt Cannon, which are even more difficult to move.

"has a problem?"

Gazing at the generals below, Di Qing couldn't help but become serious.
Seeing Di Qing say this, everyone bowed and said, "No, we will do our best!"

"Go down!"

Waving his hand to signal everyone to leave, Di Qing fell silent.

But when he was patrolling, looking at the city of Yongzhou in the distance, he couldn't help but frown.

Because experience told him that this matter was not that simple.
If he fails to capture Yongzhou City as soon as possible, he will likely encounter unpredictable troubles next!

In Yongzhou City, the city lord’s mansion,

The women were singing and dancing, and the military camp was filled with a strong aroma.
Compared to the Song army camp outside, it seemed as if this place had never experienced a war.
Holding a wine glass in hand, Zhang Cheng said with a smile on his face: "Since you have joined my Pingnan Army, the treatment will naturally be full. Let's conquer the world together, rule the world, share the glory and wealth equally."

"The general is mighty!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Nong Zhigao and others who had just joined the Pingnan Army couldn't help but smile.

Because compared to the "harsh" conditions of the Song Dynasty, Zhang Cheng is simply an "angel investor"!

Even their military power was not reduced, and they were given all kinds of food and fine wine that could only be bought in Kaifeng.

What shocked everyone even more was that every soldier in the Pingnan Army had cigarettes, and these were daily military supplies, which means they were free of charge!
You know, even if Nong Zhigao wanted to smoke, he had to spend a lot of money to buy it from merchants in the Song Dynasty.
What else could they do when they met such a "benevolent" general? Of course, they would join him!

Two days later, there was another siege as usual.

However, this time, there were several "weapons" that looked very powerful among the Song army.
Observing through a telescope, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but squint and said, "Hey, isn't this a cannon?"

"Cousin, that's a thunder cannon. Di Qing looks angry!"

Observing the Thunderbolt Cannon, Situ Yaozu quickly explained,
"My goodness, he wants to blow me up!"

Looking at this scene in astonishment, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but complain.

Of course he had heard of the Thunderbolt Cannon. After all, the development of artillery was very famous during the Northern Song Dynasty.

Otherwise, how do you think Europe managed to survive the Mongol cavalry?
Is it because of the Polish Winged Hussars that they boast about?
Stop joking. If Mongke hadn't been killed in the bombing of Diaoyucheng and Liewuxu hadn't come back to help seize the throne, those rotten potatoes in Europe would have been beaten to tears!
It was not God who saved Europe back then, but the unknown soldier in Diaoyucheng!
"Ask Liu Nanxiang where my tiger squat cannon is. If he doesn't come, Di Qing will beat me to my knees and beg for mercy!"

Looking at the thunder cannon below, Zhang Cheng subconsciously hid behind the shield.

Because Di Qing had taught him a lesson last time, that is, never get too close to a fierce general, because he will really shoot an arrow through your skull! "I'll go ask now!"

After hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Situ Yaozu quickly turned around and left.

At this moment, Xiong Jizong ran over and said, "Master, the old gangster from Liunan Township is here!"

"He's the Prime Minister, not an old gangster!"

Zhang Cheng rolled his eyes as he looked at Xiong Jizong unhappily.

"Okay, the Prime Minister is the Prime Minister!"

Shrugging his shoulders, Xiong Jizong spread his hands in disdain.

"Bring up the Crouching Tiger Cannon. I want to teach Di Qing something new and tell him that times have changed!"

Looking ahead with a smile on his face, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but burst into laughter.

If the Thunderbolt Cannon is a weapon for defending a city, then the Tiger Crouching Cannon is a magical weapon for field battles.
You only need to change the shells, and the Tiger Crouching Cannon can still achieve the same effect in siege.
Don’t worry about the small size of the bullets. As long as there are enough of them, the enemy can still be forced to flee in panic!

Unfortunately, Zhang Cheng happens to be suffering from a terminal illness, and lack of firepower is his only weakness in this life!
When each vassal army joins, they will have two months to learn how to operate the Tiger Crouching Cannon.
Therefore, even if the opponent was using a thunder cannon, Zhang Cheng would dare to let his vassal army fire it at his forehead!

Zhang Cheng: I'm waiting for the tiger squatting cannon, are you waiting for death?
Di Qing:.
"Fire, fire!"

Holding the command flag and roaring, the Song army could not help but roar,

"Boom boom boom!"

A violent noise was heard, and bricks were flying everywhere in the city of Yongzhou.

Looking at the suppressed Pingnan Army, Di Qing shouted angrily: "Attack the city!"

"Siege!"

As the cannons sounded, a steady stream of Song troops rushed over.

Looking at the large number of Song troops entering the siege, Zhang Cheng also showed a cold smile and said: "Fire!"

"fire!"

Waving the flag and roaring, Situ Yaozu turned around and scolded,
"Bang bang bang!"

There were continuous gunshots and shells falling from the sky.

Watching this scene in amazement, the Song army panicked as they saw the sky suddenly darken.

Because this is the direction of Yongzhou City, could it be that they also have cannons?
But when the Song army's attack was blocked, the Tiger Crouching Cannon seemed to have never stopped, and continued to roar.

Looking ahead in disbelief, Di Qing was shocked and asked, "How is this possible? They also have firearms?"

"Unlike the Thunderbolt Cannon, theirs seem to be more convenient, and there are more of them!"

Looking at Di Qing, the generals around him immediately became panicked, because how could they continue to fight?

But at this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from not far away.

"Crash!"

The black dragon flag dances in the wind.

Xiong Jizong, holding a broadsword, led five thousand armored cavalrymen and rushed out from the diagonal angle, saying, "Follow me, charge!"

"kill!"

With a roar, the Pingnan Army, which had been gathering its strength for a long time, finally showed its fangs.
