Chapter 242: Annihilate 100,000 enemies and become famous in one battle
When the Nanyue Prince Li Shiyu ran back to the Yongzhou City Garrison in shock, before he had time to adjust his emotions, he received a report from the deputy general Shi Feng:
"Report--"
"Your Highness, the cavalry vanguard of the Longcheng rebel army has arrived outside the Yongzhou City!"
What?
Li Shiyu was startled at first, and then panted and said: "Why are you panicking? This prince still doesn't believe in evil. Can the Longcheng rebels continue to summon thunder to bombard Yongzhou City?"
Boom!
As soon as the voice fell, a thunder exploded, scaring Li Shiyu in the main hall of the garrison.
At this time, the Nanyue Prince had been scared by the sound of the red cannon and became a frightened bird.
However, Li Shiyu still held a glimmer of luck and did not believe that the Longcheng army could summon the "thunder" to Yongzhou City, and was ready to defend the city.

At the same time, outside the city of Yongzhou.
The two deputy generals of the Dragon City Southern Expedition Army, Fan Wuji and Tang Ziyi, who led the cavalry to pursue, were blocked outside the city by the tall walls of Yongzhou.
The two led the Dragon City cavalry to pursue, and they also reaped a lot of rewards, killing countless enemy soldiers along the way.
In addition to the Nanyue Prince Li Shiyu, a group of Nanyue garrison generals and thousands of cavalry who successfully escaped back to Yongzhou City and saved their lives;
The 100,000 Nanyue wolf soldiers who took the initiative to fight outside the city were either killed by the Dragon City Southern Expedition Army cavalry who were chasing them, or fled to the mountains around the city. Most of the rest were strangled by the Shenji Camp and the infantry of the Southern Expedition Army.
At present, Yongzhou City is only an empty shell with more than 20,000 defenders left!
After another hour, the 100 red cannons of the Shenji Camp had been transported to the outside of Yongzhou City by the baggage soldiers. They were adjusting the shooting angle and aiming the black muzzles at the tall walls of Yongzhou City.
At this time, Pang Xianchu, who had wiped out most of the South Vietnamese defenders, was in a good mood, and his attitude towards the Shenji Camp also changed 180 degrees.
He never dreamed that with the help of the red cannons of the Shenji Camp, this encounter with the Nanyue defenders in Yongzhou would be won so easily.
The Longcheng army that marched south almost wiped out nearly 100,000 South Vietnamese defenders at a negligible cost of casualties.
On the battlefield, those South Vietnamese soldiers who were frightened by the red cannons really had no fighting power and resistance at all. They would rather be killed by the soldiers of the Dragon City Army than be struck by thunder and become people who could not reincarnate.
After seeing the overwhelming advantage of the red cannons of the Shenji Camp on the battlefield, Pang Xianchu's first reaction was: With this magic weapon, the emperor can conquer the world!
"Sir, thank you and the brothers of the Shenji Camp for your hard work. After conquering Yongzhou City, this general will personally set up a celebration wine for the brothers of the Shenji Camp!"
At this time, Pang Xianchu came to the position of the Shenji Camp with a smile, and said to Qi Jiguang who was directing the soldiers to prepare for the bombardment of Yongzhou City: "Sir, this general has seen the power of this red cannon!"
"However, this general has a question. Is this red cannon named because of the red satin covering the barrel?"
Hmm?
Facing Pang Xianchu's question, Qi Jiguang's expression froze. He didn't seem to understand why the cannon was called the Red Cannon.
After hesitating for a moment, he slowly replied: "General Pang, this cannon is named the Red Cannon by the emperor himself. I don't know if it's because the barrel is covered with red satin."
"Maybe!"
Haha!
After that, the two smiled at each other, and everything was self-explanatory.
Whether it is a red cannon or a green cannon, as long as it can make the enemy cry and scream, it is a good cannon!
"Report-"
"Your Excellency, the 100 red cannons have been debugged and can launch artillery attacks on the city of Yongzhou at any time. Please give instructions, Your Excellency!"
As he spoke, a thousand households of the Shenjiying came to the two and asked Qi Jiguang for the next combat order.
Well!
Qi Jiguang nodded, then turned to look at Pang Xianchu and said, "General Pang, how about you give the order to bombard Yongzhou?"
Ah?
Pang Xianchu was startled at first, then flattered and said, "General, can, can I?"
Qi Jiguang didn't say anything, but nodded with a firm look in his eyes.
Pang Xianchu was not hypocritical, and immediately recalled Qi Jiguang's order when firing the cannon, and ordered the Shenjiying: "Shenjiying, fire the cannon!"
"Fire the cannon!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Boom!
Boom!
After a sharp sound of breaking through the air, hundreds of black shells fell on the walls of Yongzhou City, and the explosions were like thunder in the plain, one after another.
In an instant, the walls of Yongzhou City became a sea of smoke and fire.
The South Vietnamese soldiers guarding the city were in a state of panic in the face of the sudden bombardment, but they had no choice but to squat on the city wall, covering their ears and waiting for the judgment of the red cannon.
In the city of Yongzhou, in the garrison.
When the sound of the bombardment on the city wall sounded, Li Shiyu, the crown prince of South Vietnam, who had just calmed down, jumped up from the chair in the main hall.
Li Shiyu had a look of wanting to cry but no tears, and his heart was full of rage. He thought: You are so annoying, it will never end, right!
"Report——"
"Your Highness, the Dragon City rebels, the wizards of the Dragon City rebels are casting spells outside Yongzhou City, summoning thunder to strike the walls of our Yongzhou City;"
"The soldiers have never seen such a scene before, and they don't know how to deal with it for a while. Please give instructions, Your Highness!"
Soon, Deputy General Shi Feng took the latest military information and went to the garrison to report urgently.
Being able to force a dignified third-rank deputy general to not guard the city but act as a messenger and report to the prince in person, it is enough to see how much psychological shadow the red cannon has caused him!
Give instructions, give instructions!
Is there any need to think about it at this time, run for your life!
Could it be that I stay in Yongzhou City and wait to be struck by thunder?
Li Shiyu was full of anger, but he didn't know how to vent it.
Finally, he said to his trusted general Shi Feng: "General Shi, the evil magic of the Longcheng bandit army is really powerful. This prince orders you to lead the prince's mansion to protect this prince and return to the capital Yangcheng for further discussion;"
"This Yongzhou City must not be left!"
Deputy General Shi Feng was waiting for this sentence, and immediately bowed his hands and accepted the order and said: "I have received your order!"
After an incense stick of time, the Nanyue Prince Li Shiyu led thousands of trusted soldiers to flee from the north gate of Yongzhou City in a hurry, all the way to the capital Yangcheng.
After more than half an hour, the Longcheng Southward Expedition Army outside Yongzhou City finally climbed the Yongzhou City Wall with the assistance of the Shenjiying.
With the scarlet five-clawed golden dragon "Jin" flags hanging high on the Yongzhou City Wall, the important town of Yongzhou was finally conquered, blocking the Nanyue Gate of the Longcheng Southward Expedition Army for nearly a month.
It took only four hours from the start of the encounter between the two sides to the capture of Yongzhou City.
Among them, two hours were because the Shenjiying had to push the red cannon weighing thousands of pounds to hurry.
The actual time of the siege was less than an hour.
It took one hour to capture a city with 100,000 defenders. This speed is the fastest in the siege record of the entire Longcheng army.
In the battle of Yongzhou, the Shenjiying became famous in one battle, and a new era of weapons was opened from then on.
