The Most Powerful Man in the World

I have to say that King Ning has made a lot of money. There are as many as [-] troops in the city. If he really survives the first day, then he will at least give out nearly one million taels of gold and silver to reward the army. .

Even if he removed some of the dead, he also promised to reward one person with ten taels of silver for killing one enemy. If it was calculated like this, that meant that King Ning would have to spend millions of taels of gold and silver.

When King Ning's order was conveyed, many soldiers' eyes lit up.

Although it is said to be a group of rabble, this does not mean that these soldiers are really waste, that is, the military is lax and has poor cooperation consciousness. If you choose carefully, you can still select tens of thousands of strong soldiers among the [-] army.

Nine out of ten of these soldiers were from poor backgrounds, and even many of them joined the army just to make a living. Now that King Ning actually offered money as a reward, how could these soldiers not be moved by it.

King Ning could rely on the silver reward to consolidate the army's morale, but he could also stabilize the slack military spirit in time. Otherwise, if it really followed the previous situation, I am afraid that it would not take an hour before Nanjing City might be breached.

With [-] troops guarding the city, if they can't hold it for even an hour, it can be seen how weak these rebels under King Ning are.

A roar suddenly exploded above the city wall, and saw a general who jumped from the ladder to kill several rebels, and jumped down on the city wall.

Followed by a group of soldiers climbed the city wall along the ladder, and soon occupied a small area above the city wall.

"Hahaha, all the generals, kill King Ning, Fenghou! Kill with me..."

With a loud roar, Han Bao waved the big knife in his hand, and flew several rebels who came forward. His eyes fell on King Ning, who was protected by the soldiers of the forbidden army in the distance, and his eyes couldn't help showing a bit of excitement.

Chu Yi once said that as long as King Ning can be captured alive or beheaded, the court will definitely reward him.

The temptation of being a marquis is too great for everyone, who doesn't want to be named a marquis by military merit.

In the past, even if he made great achievements, it would be extremely difficult to make a lord. This time is different. King Ning has established himself as an emperor, so the meaning of capturing King Ning is very different. It can be said that as long as King Ning is captured, Feng Houna is stable.

King Ning saw that there were already several places around the city where the imperial army had rushed to the front of the city, and even occupied a part of the area. If the follow-up imperial troops and horses were really killed, the city would fall. .

Once the city wall falls, I am afraid that Nanjing City will not be far from the city.

"Drive down, drive them all down!"

Ning Wang's face was full of shock and anger, and he roared again and again.

Li Zhenshan waved his hand, and a group of strong and strong soldiers in armor stepped forward quickly, hundreds of soldiers were already quite crowded on a section of the city wall.

These soldiers actually held strong crossbows in their hands. Just looking at this equipment, they are definitely the elites among the elites.

These are the three thousand imperial guards under King Ning. It can be said that these imperial guards are composed of elites selected from the [-] army under King Ning.

King Ning put a lot of effort into this elite team, and used the best for everything, whether it was armor or weapons.

As a big killer like a strong crossbow, under normal circumstances, it is not bad to be able to find dozens or hundreds of them in a team of ten thousand people, but in the King Ning Guards, there are five hundred strong crossbows alone. as much.

Hundreds of powerful crossbows are shot, and even the top martial arts masters will be shot and killed on the spot. As for the army, at least a hundred people can be shot and killed in one wave.

King Ning has always been very precious to his guards, and he didn't use them much at all, but this time even his emperor climbed the city wall himself, so these guards were naturally brought over by King Ning.

King Ning looked at the most elite guard under his command and a light flashed in his eyes, and then he heard Li Zhenshan shout: "Shoot!"

The area in front is exactly a section of the city wall occupied by Han Bao and other soldiers. It can be said that at least dozens of imperial soldiers have climbed the city wall continuously, and under the leadership of Han Bao's valiant force, they have occupied it. In that section of the city wall, more soldiers climbed the city wall.

If it is true that Han Bao and others can completely stabilize that section of the city wall and allow more soldiers to board the city wall, the consequences will be quite serious.

Not far below the city wall, Chu Yi stood there, staring at the city wall of Nanjing in the distance.

From where Chu Yi is located, the distance to the Nanjing city wall is at least a few hundred meters. If it is an ordinary person, it is only a vague figure that can be seen on the city wall.

However, Chu Yi's cultivation in the Innate Realm is naturally far superior to ordinary people, but he can probably see the movement on the city wall.

As the saying goes, the momentum is like a tiger. On the long city wall, several places have been broken by the imperial army, and they have successfully climbed the city wall, occupying a small section of the city wall, and fought with the rebels above the city wall. .

Some of the originally occupied small sections of the city wall were strangled by the rebels to retake that section of the city wall because the rebels' strong counterattack was just a cup of tea.

It can be said that during the siege battle, the soldiers of both sides were bleeding all the time, and the tragic shouts of killing resounded through the sky.

Standing beside Chu Yi, Qi Hu narrowed his eyes and said, "Lord, look, that section of the city wall seems to have stabilized, and there is a tendency to gradually expand the results of the battle."

Obviously, Qi Hu noticed the section of the city wall occupied by the guerrilla general Han Bao. This Han Bao was a middle-level and high-level general who was promoted from the army by Chu Yi. He was brave in force, so Chu Yi glanced at it and smiled slightly. Said: "Han Bao has amazing horizontal training skills. Even if he is the same first-class player, he may not be at a disadvantage. Unless there is a general in King Ning's army who can hold him back, otherwise, Han Bao will definitely be able to stabilize. That section of the city wall."

Qi Hu praised: "Han Bao is a fierce general, but the governor's discerning eye and knowledge of people promoted him, but he gave him a chance to excel!"

Chu Yi said lightly: "I just gave him a chance. If he is a puddle of mud and can't help him against the wall, even the governor can't help him!"

Han Bao, who was fighting on the city wall, didn't know that his figure had entered Chu Yi's eyes. Suddenly, Han Bao felt a little terrified.

He slashed and killed a rebel army with one knife, his eyes swept away, and Han Bao's face changed greatly, and he shouted loudly: "All officers and men, all get down!"

Chapter 380 The Power of Firearms [2 more]

Han Bao saw the hundreds of guards in armor in the distance at a glance. That's all. The key is that the strong crossbow is aimed at the section of the city wall where they are. This is what shocked Han Bao. of.

It was a strong crossbow, one or two was fine. He was able to avoid it with his strength, but there were hundreds of strong crossbows. Han Bao just saw the hundreds of strong crossbows. The urge to scold the mother.

This is simply cheating. After such a wave, I am afraid that few of the hundreds of soldiers who have finally rushed to the city wall can stand there.

Especially at the moment when a group of rebels were entangled with them, but Han Bao saw that the rebel generals didn't care about these rebels at all, and it was a posture of shooting everyone on the spot.

Han Bao hacked and killed the two soldiers immediately, and then used the figures of the two soldiers as a meat shield in front of him and shrank into the corner.

Almost at the moment when Han Bao ordered the soldiers to lie down, a wave of arrows broke through the air.

Except for a few people who were sensitive enough to find an opportunity to get down, the others didn't react at all.

puff, puff

The sound of arrows entering the body sounded, and the screams came. He huddled in the corner and leaned on two corpses as meat shields to block a few arrows that were shot. Han Bao could only watch that one. The arrows rained down, and the hundreds of soldiers who had rushed up unexpectedly fell by as much as [-]%.

Only a few people stood there with a look of horror, as for the others who were either shot to death on the spot, or fell to the ground, wailing with arrows in their bodies.

Not only were the imperial soldiers and horses rushing to the city wall been shot and killed on the spot, even the more than [-] rebels who were originally besieged were directly covered in.

As a result, it is conceivable that these rebels, who were completely regarded as abandoned children, were shot and killed by a wave of arrows without reacting at all.

These soldiers may never have dreamed that they were fighting in front of them, but behind them was a wave of arrows that shot and killed them together.

I have to say that the power of the strong crossbow to wash the ground is really amazing, but a wave of arrows rained down, and the section of the city wall that was originally occupied by the imperial army was emptied.

King Ning was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene, and then he couldn't help laughing, high-fiving and admiring: "Okay, okay, it's a good kill! I have the imperial guards in hand, and the mere court troops and horses, let's not forget it. what!"

The Imperial Crossbow Team can be said to have made a contribution, and King Ning praised it loudly. Li Zhenshan said with a glint in his eyes: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Guard will lead the Imperial Guards to drive down the imperial troops and horses who have climbed the city wall!"

King Ning laughed loudly and said: "Okay, there is Lao Li Aiqing! Kill me ruthlessly, and let that robber Chu Yi know that my imperial guard is not easy to provoke."

Li Zhenshan led the imperial guards, but every city wall occupied by imperial troops and horses would be rained down by a rain of arrows. It can be said that the effect was astonishing, and a rain of arrows emptied a piece of the city wall.

It’s just a short cup of tea. On the city wall that is almost several miles long, about ten sections of the occupied city wall have been washed with blood by this guard, and at least nearly a thousand have managed to climb the city wall The elite soldiers of the court were shot to death.

Without his helper, Han Bao, even though he was extremely powerful, was unable to resist when facing a strong crossbow, so he could only go down the city wall in embarrassment.

Under the city wall, Chu Yi could not help frowning.

The setback in the siege was somewhat beyond Chu Yi's expectations. After all, the situation was still very good. Seeing that it was possible to break the city of Nanjing today, it was unexpected that this change happened so quickly.

Qi Hu's eyes lit up and said, "Look at the Governor, Han Bao is down!"

Chu Yi said slowly: "It was rumored that Han Bao came to see me, but the governor wanted to see what means King Ning had to force Han Bao down in such a short period of time."

If it wasn't for encountering an irresistible force, Han Bao's temperament would never have jumped off the city wall by himself.

Han Bao bowed his head in front of Chu Yi, and said with a bit of self-blame on his face: "I will meet the chief executive at the end, Han Bao is incompetent, and the chief executive should punish him!"

Glancing at Han Bao, Chu Yi said lightly, "What is going on above the city wall, please explain in detail."

Han Bao immediately told Chu Yi that the elite imperial guard army under King Ning had used hundreds of powerful crossbows to shoot.

Qi Hu listened and exclaimed: "What, there is such an elite team under Ning Wanghui, and hundreds of powerful crossbows are used at one time, this..."

On the other hand, Chu Yi raised his brows and said, "Oh, is that the three thousand imperial guards in charge of Li Zhenshan, the commander of the imperial guards!"

With Jin Yiwei's ability, he may not have the ability to open the city gate, but it is very easy to inquire about the news.

Chu Yi still had some understanding of some capable officials in King Ning's small court, especially the generals under King Ning.

Li Zhenshan was in charge of the [-] Imperial Guards, which was indeed mentioned in the Jinyi Guards, but it was only mentioned casually.

Just like the imperial guards of the Ming Dynasty, they seem to be elite, but in fact, many of them are just like goods.

That is to say, Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi paid great attention to the imperial guards, so the imperial guards in the Daming Palace were not reduced to appearances.

But for a long time, everyone's impression of the imperial guards is just like goods, even the Jinyiwei who inquired about the news, so although they knew that there was such a team under King Ning, they did not take it to heart. More The reason is to regard it as a fake, but only mentioned it a little in the information.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Chu Yi looked towards the city wall with great interest and said: "It seems that the Governor still underestimates King Ning, his three thousand imperial guards are not good looking!"

Qi Hu frowned and said, "Professor, those are hundreds of powerful crossbows. If there is such a guard on the city wall to support back and forth, I am afraid that the army will not be able to stand on the city wall!"

Han Bao even said with tears in his eyes: "General Manager, those subordinates of the last general were wronged. They did not die in the fight with the enemy, but were shot by arrows..."

Chu Yi stepped forward and helped Han Bao, who had tears in his eyes, patted Han Bao on the shoulder and said, "This governor will give an explanation to the dead soldiers!"

While speaking, Chu Yi turned to Lin Pingzhi who was on the side: "Lin Pingzhi, pass the order of the Governor and order the artillery to fire for another hour."

Lin Pingzhi hurriedly went to give orders, but Qi Hu and Han Bao were still a little worried.

The rebels above the city wall are not fools. Chu Yi bombarded with artillery. As long as King Ning didn't lose his mind, he would definitely let the guards hide.

The city wall of Nanjing City is really tall and thick. If you want to blast the city wall with artillery alone, I am afraid it is impossible.

Therefore, if Chu Yi just ordered artillery bombardment, in fact, it would not solve the problem at all. At most, it would only deter the rebels.

Chu Yi obviously understood this, his eyes fell on Han Bao, and he sighed slightly: "You all come with the Governor."

Soon Han Bao and Chu Yi came to the army, a heavily guarded place.

This place is guarded jointly by Jinyiwei and Dongchang personnel, which can be said to be heavily guarded.

Seeing Chu Yi coming, the person in charge of the guard quickly greeted Chu Yi.

Han Bao and Qi Hu curiously looked at the things covered under the tarpaulin guarded by Jinyiwei and Dongchang people. They were very curious. What was this place? .

Only Chu Yi said, "Open the tent!"

Immediately, several Jinyi guards stepped forward to open the tent, and immediately saw iron balls neatly placed in the box, densely packed, and at a glance, there were at least thousands.

Han Bao said in surprise: "This... this seems to be an artillery shell!"

Chu Yi almost stepped forward and took an iron ball in his hand. He saw that the iron ball was sealed, and only a fuse was left outside. It was exactly what Chu Yi ordered the capital craftsmen to transform.

In fact, Daming's development and application of firearms has been quite advanced. There are various types of firearms, such as the thunder of the sky similar to the grenade, and the flying crow of the fire like a rocket.

This iron ball contains broken nails, broken iron and gunpowder. Once it explodes, the power can be imagined.

Thunders like this have long existed in the Ming army, but because of the power of gunpowder, the lethality is not very large, so not many people pay attention.
