Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 414 Bombarding Liaodong City

"Preach my will! Tanks, fire the steel cannons." After sitting down, Li Shimin issued a slightly excited order.

Hearing what Li Shimin said, Li Jing stood up and waved a command flag himself. The artillerymen are so powerful that they have seen it before, and now they want to see the actual combat effect.

Duan Zhixuan, who was transferred back to train the artillery, received the signal, his eyes lit up, and he ordered loudly: "The tanks advance to [-] steps outside the city, and everyone is ready to explode."

…………

"What's that?" Yang Wanchun stared dumbfounded at the ten steel monsters slowly approaching. The others didn't move, but everyone jumped off their horses and asked in puzzlement.

"It is said that Datang has a car that can run without horses. It is all made of fine steel. It should be this kind of car. Could it be that it is going to hit the city? This all-steel thing, rolling wood and rocks can't do anything to him." Yuan Yuan Tai Zuo hesitated for a moment and replied.

"As long as you know what it is, it's easy to handle. I'll let people block the city gate, and if it can't be broken by a stone, I will use boiling oil and burn it with fire." Yang Wanchun nodded vigorously and said.

Yuan Taizuo listened to Yang Wanchun's words, and just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard a continuous loud sound like thunder, he was shocked, and when he looked up, there were several loud noises not far from him sounded.

Before he came back to his senses, he was pushed up by the huge air wave and hit the city wall. With a sweet taste in his mouth, a mouthful of old blood gushed out.

When he sat up unsteadily, covering his buzzing head vigorously, he realized that Yang Wanchun was also covering his arms and looking around not far away.

"Are you alright, Lu?" Yang Wanchun asked Yuan Taizuo with a hooked body.

"The old man is fine. General Yang, you were injured. What happened just now? Could it be that the thunder came from the sky and wanted to destroy me, Goguryeo." Yuan Taizuo asked urgently with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.

"It's not thunder, it should be Tang Jun's secret weapon. Just now, the general saw something shot out from the steel car, and then it was blown away." Yang Wanchun looked around, seeing many soldiers lying down and screaming, and the others were also Undecided in shock, he shook his head and said with a wry smile.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Several more violent voices sounded from a little farther away, and many people were blown away, lying on the ground and screaming.

"Hide, hide quickly, don't just stand there stupidly." Yang Wanchun didn't dare to show his head, so he sat there and shouted loudly.

Many people heard this, and rushed to the city or the cave for soldiers, but Yang Wanchun let Yuan Taizuo go down, picked up a shield, hid behind a female wall secretly, and looked out.

The bombardment continued, and several types of ammunition were fired in turn before Duan Zhixuan allowed the bombardment to be directed at the city walls and gates.

Both the civil and military ministers and the soldiers who had never seen it before were stunned. The horse neighed and struggled to bring everyone back to their spirits. They quickly appease the mounts. Fortunately, they were ordered to dismount early, which did not cause panic.

"Haha, haha! From now on, in the whole world, who else is an opponent." Li Shimin looked at the gunfire filled with gunpowder, and laughed with high spirits.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, with this magical soldier, he will rule the world, just around the corner." Seeing that Li Shimin was happy, all the ministers hurriedly flattered him.

"Although the magic weapon is good, governance still requires manpower and energy. It can't be done in a day, so don't act rashly." Wei Zheng poured cold water on the side.

"Xuan Cheng's words are true. I've lost my composure, and I need to remind you more in the future." Li Shimin was taken aback, recovered, nodded and said.

"The sage is wise and wise, he is indeed the blessing of the world and the blessing of the people." Although Wei Zheng was outspoken, he did not know how to say good things. Seeing that Li Shimin had listened, he stopped persuading him and said with a smile on his face.

"Xuan Cheng is right. If the railway is completed in the future, the places that the railway can reach will be the places where the Tang Dynasty will last forever." Du Ruhui said, stroking his goatee.

"Yes, the road will be repaired in the future. All my loves will accompany me to Jiangnan and the Western Regions to play. The world is down, and I don't have time to take a good look at it." Li Shimin looked at Du Ruhui's thin face, and looked at it again. All the grey-haired veterans around him couldn't help saying with emotion.

"I will definitely follow the Holy Majesty and see all the beautiful scenery in the world." Many people who followed Li Shimin early in the morning were moved to tears and answered with smiles.

"The crown prince has done a good job in Yueyang. If he is allowed to supervise the country this time, it will be much easier for me, and the younger generation is also very good. Whether it is the Western Regions or Nanyang, I am satisfied." Li Shimin Da Ma Jindao sat down and said with relief.

Many people's descendants participated in the governance and war of the two places. Hearing Li Shimin's praise, they couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

"Although Gouzi doesn't have much talent, he has made a lot of progress in the past few years of training outside." Li Jing commanded the tanks and artillery, approached a little bit before attacking, turned his head and said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"No one is born to be powerful. If you practice a lot, you will always make progress. In the future, whether you are a prince, county king, or a noble son, you must hone hard before you can be entrusted with important tasks. You can't directly appoint them. That is for the court and the people. Irresponsible." Li Shimin nodded and ordered.

As an emperor, Li Shimin's words and deeds are recorded, and some important words will be recorded in the annals of history.

While Li Shimin was speaking, someone was writing vigorously. On April 26, the eighth year of Zhenguan, the sage said that the younger generation needs to be trained before entrusting them with important responsibilities.

After Li Shimin's death, the saint will be changed to his temple name.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Just as everyone was talking, the tank had advanced a hundred steps outside the city, and the warheads began to bombard the city wall.

Amidst the loud roar, the city wall trembled visibly, bluestones and bricks crashing down.

No one could be seen at the top of the city. The Goguryeo people were already terrified by the sound of the guns. They hid in the cave of the soldiers and trembled at the base of the city wall. Many people knelt on the ground and kowtowed, thinking that God was angry.

Yang Wanchun hid on the top of the city, watching something shoot out from the iron cart after a while, hitting the city wall with a loud sound, and the city wall would shake accordingly.

The more I watched, the more frightened I became, my heart seemed to sink into the bottom of the water, into a hole in the ice, my whole body couldn't help feeling weak, and I sat slumped on the ground.

For this kind of weapon that was like a punishment from heaven, he couldn't even think of how to resist it.

Yang Wanchun grabbed his hair tightly, thinking hard, his eyes lit up suddenly, taking advantage of the time when the artillery fire stopped, he bent down and ran down the city wall quickly, and found Yuan Taizuo.

"How is General Yang? Is there a way?" Yuan Taizuo asked anxiously while pulling Yang Wanchun.

He has been hiding in the cave of soldiers, but he can't see the outside. He just heard the loud noise, felt the shaking of the city wall, and was suffering in his heart. When he saw Yang Wanchun, it was like grabbing a life-saving straw.
