Chapter 245

Ten thousand cannons were fired at once, the earth was shaken, and the mountains were shaking, which directly stunned the Annan army.

Most of the soldiers and civilians in the city were just heard about the horror of the Ming army artillery.

The defeated soldiers who retreated from the front line, every time they mentioned the Ming army, their eyes were filled with fear.

It makes people wonder whether they deliberately exaggerated the words to make excuses for themselves to escape at the last minute.

However, the explosion tonight really happened around me. With a deafening roar, fire was splashing everywhere.

The smoke of gunpowder flies, and then gravel and shrapnel fly together.

The artillery outside the city kept roaring, and countless shells followed one after another, hitting the city wall. For a moment, the entire Qinghua City was shaking.

Finally, the three-meter-high city wall could not resist the artillery fire and collapsed!

Before the defenders on the city wall could react, they were buried in the ruins. Most people didn't even snorted when they died.

Prince Li Yan ordered people to protect Li Sicheng and retreat to the palace, but he stayed and directed the defense.

When the city wall collapses, the Ming army will rush in at any time and must immediately organize a line of defense.

Even with his flesh and blood, he would hold back the pace of the Ming army's advance.

Judging from the current situation, if we simply compete for firepower, we will pull out all the artillery of Annan Kingdom and will not be the opponent of the Ming army.

Only by placing hope in street fighting, relying on home court advantages, and doing our best to consume the Ming army.

The disadvantage of the Ming army is the number of people and supplies. If you want to win, you can only rely on consumption.

This is Annan. No matter how powerful your people are, one less will die, and one less will be shot.

And we have a steady stream of personnel and supplies, and it will cost you a lot!

It is quite strategic that Li Yan was able to make such a decision in a short period of time, but he ignored one point.

This Ming army was able to advance straight in not because of the number of people and food, but because of the cannons in their hands.

Although their individual soldiers have strong combat capabilities, they have no room to play.

As soon as the cannon fires, the other party will collapse.

There is no need to fight, and I have never even fought an encounter.

So, the Ming army's position remained motionless, and only the cannons continued to roar!

Boom!

Boom!

In a volley, dozens of shells crossed the collapsed city wall and smashed into the city, and exploded like a storm. Shards were flying like petals, splashing around.

The poor Annan Army, the defense line that had just been organized, was immediately shattered.

The flesh and blood body turned into flesh and blood.

The explosion happened under their feet. Many people hadn't reacted yet, but they felt their eardrums being hit by unprecedented impact, their bodies were blown away by air waves, and what followed was the screams from their mouths...

Li Yan crawled out of a pile of dead bodies. Fortunately, there were many people around him, so he blocked shrapnel for him, and he only suffered some minor injuries.

However, others are not so lucky.

Some of them were hit by shrapnel, and their bodies looked like sieve, all of which were covered with blood holes.

Especially some of them who had not yet died, lying on the ground and moaning, their condition was terrible.

Li Yan, who was still full of confidence just now, is now in a state of despair.

He had never seen such a powerful artillery, and it had become a ruin within sight. The entire Annan Army was like a headless fly, completely in chaos.

The buildings in Annanguo are mainly made of wooden structures, and a large number of houses along the street are starting to burn.

In the horse shed, the war horses were frightened, squeezed out the railings and ran wildly on the street.

"Help...help..."

Many people were blown to the flesh and blood lake and wriggled desperately on the ground.

Even though they knew that they could no longer survive, they were still wailing, hoping that someone would save him.

Those who are more lucky and have only suffered minor injuries are now limping around to hide.

In such an environment, if it is directly killed, it is also a kind of luck in a sense.

Once the shrapnel enters the body, it cannot be taken out all with the current medical conditions. As long as there is residue, it will cause persistent harm to the wound, which is enough to torture people for a lifetime.

This person was basically useless and had unbearable pain for the rest of his life, or died of pus and blood after a year or two.

However, all this is just the beginning!

Soon, there were roars from the Ming army's positions.

Li Yan looked at everything in front of him in a daze. He snatched a knife like crazy and shouted, "Follow me to leave the city and kill the Ming army!"

Unfortunately, his words were covered up by the rumbling cannon sound.

The city was already in chaos and no one paid attention to him at all.

Dozens of flowering bullets flew into the city. This time, the other party obviously adjusted its position. The shooting position was no longer limited to the city gate, but the buildings in the city.

Immediately afterwards, another storm shaking.

Boom... Boom...

The smoke of gunpowder and the smoke and dust from the fire have covered the entire city gate.

Li Yan tried hard to gather people and tried to go out of the city to fight back, but he could not see anyone at all.

The huge roar and screams from all directions made him almost unable to tell the sound.

Boom... Boom...

Li Yan could no longer hear it, and he could only vaguely see a few figures around him, falling down one by one.

And at this moment, a shrapnel flew over and with a bang, deeply embedded in his hand bone.

He screamed suddenly, and the pain filled his whole body, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground.

However, no one paid attention to him at all.

Someone even passed by the side, but he was panicked and knocked him away.

At this time, it is no longer important for the prince or emperor.

Li Yan grinned, but finally held back the pain, stood up, and looked blankly at the rolling smoke and the crowd scattered around.

Immediately afterwards, he tried hard to identify the direction and ran towards the palace like crazy.

"Father, Father..."

At this time, the palace was in chaos, and there was no guard at the door. Li Yan rushed in and saw a group of ministers surrounding Li Sicheng, all of whom were in a state of lordship.

"Father, the city is broken, go quickly!"

At this time, the ministers in the palace had already been in chaos. Some people advocated running away, while others were not afraid of death and shouted to fight back. Li Sicheng witnessed the power of the Ming army artillery with his own eyes. He still felt his legs trembling and unable to speak.

The Hanlin, who was the first to fight, saw Li Yan, and said, "The Prince's Palace is just right, let's wait..."

"Come on, prepare horses and open the North City Gate!"

Li Yan had no time to pay attention to him, so he stepped forward and pulled Li Sicheng up and prepared to escape from the city.

But Hanlin was a stubborn temper and rushed over to block the way.

"Your Highness, is it that your prince plans to give up the thousands of people in Qinghua City and survive alone?"

"Get out!"

Li Yan pushed him away, then pulled Li Sicheng up and walked out.

There were eunuchs and palace maids running for life everywhere in the palace. When they saw the emperor and the prince, they were still unmoved and fled in panic.
