"Fire!"

"Boom Boom"

Outside the city, the artillery bombardment of the Ying Long army continued, although in order not to hurt the innocent people in the city of Chengdu, all the cannons only hit the bombardment city wall, but each round of a hundred cannons, accompanied by the powerful cannonballs exploded, the entire Chengdu city seemed to be shaking, indicating that the capital of the Great Western Kingdom was being fiercely attacked by the Ming army.

The people of the city were panicked, and the people were shut up, fearing that they would be affected by the great battle.

After Zhang Xianzhong rushed out of the harem, the first thing he did was to find Li Dingguo.

Since the time of each round of shelling of the Yinglong army's field artillery was only twenty breaths, the power of 100 field guns was only stronger than 300 red-coated cannons. Zhang Xianzhong has only seen the power of the red-clothed cannon, although he has heard of the power of the Yinglongjun cannon in recent years, but he has not really seen it, those who say how powerful the Yinglongjun cannon is, he only regards it as a rumor, in his heart, even if the Yinglongjun cannon is more powerful, the power will not be much stronger than the red-clothed cannon, and it may even be just an ordinary small cannon, after all, the weight is there, and the weight of the cannon that can follow the Yinglongjun march must be below 1,000 catties.

It is not difficult to see from Zhang Xianzhong's thoughts that Zhang Xianzhong's cognition of the cannon has always been limited to the greater the weight, the greater the power.

However, the fierce shelling of the Ying Long Army undoubtedly broke Zhang Xianzhong's cognition, although he still did not see the shelling of the Ying Long Army's cannons with his own eyes, but he has not been a fool all these years, at least from the sound of the shell explosion, he can also distinguish the power of a cannon.

"I didn't expect the rumors to be true, Ying Longjun's cannon is so powerful, and the power of the cannonballs fired is by no means weaker than that of the red-coated cannons, so according to the rate of fire of the Yinglongjun cannons, listening to the dense sound, wouldn't it be equivalent to two or three hundred red-coated cannons bombarding!" Zhang Xianzhong's face was blue and angry.

In the early years, the red-coated cannon was a world-famous siege weapon, as long as there were ten to attack the city and pull out the village, it was like a bamboo, and now the Yinglong army is comparable to two or three hundred red-coated cannons bombardment, how can Zhang Xianzhong not be afraid, he even thought, if the Yinglong army is not bombarding the city wall but directly bombarding the city, then his nearly 300,000 Western troops in the city must not suffer heavy casualties!

"Dingguo, you have to think of a way, you can't let the artillery of the Ming army be so rampant." As soon as Zhang Xianzhong saw Li Dingguo, he grabbed Li Dingguo's arm and said.

Zhang Xianzhong can believe that apart from himself, he is also this talented son.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, the child has already expected that he will not let the Ming army collapse the city wall so easily!" Li Dingguo reassured.

In fact, the power of Yinglong's artillery did not surprise Li Dingguo, unlike Zhang Xianzhong, Li Dingguo never thought that the rumors were wrong, and would rather believe it or not, Li Dingguo had already understood the configuration of Yinglong's army, and he always knew that the 100 cannons of Yinglong's artillery battalion were at least equivalent to the power of 300 red-coated cannons.

For this reason, when the Ming army marched into Chengdu, he led 100,000 troops to try to find a breakthrough when he was tired on the road, and tried to destroy the Ming army's artillery many times, but it was a pity that the Ming army was too closely guarded against this, so that he had no chance to do so, and many raids only destroyed a few shells.

Thinking about it, Li Dingguo said what he thought in his heart: "Your Majesty, the child launched many surprise attacks when the Ming army marched into Chengdu, although it did not achieve any results, nor did it destroy any of the Ming army's cannons, but it accidentally destroyed a lot of Ming army's shells and gunpowder, according to the child's estimate, the current artillery shells carried by the Ming army should not be enough to collapse the city wall of Chengdu, and it is necessary to mobilize shells to come, Your Majesty only needs to send a soldier and horse to ambush on the road from Lizhou to Chengdu, If the Ming army is not allowed to smoothly mobilize shells and gunpowder from Lizhou, without gunpowder and shells, the artillery of the Ming army will be like scrap metal, and there is no need to be afraid! This is a strategy that Li Dingguo has thought of a long time ago, and now he is saying it to appease Zhang Xianzhong.

Sure enough, when Zhang Xianzhong heard it, since Li Dingguo had countermeasures, the panic in his heart was much less, and the main thing was to keep his Great Western Kingdom left and right and repel the Ming army.

"Since Dingguo is confident, this matter will be handed over to Dingguo to handle, and there must be no mistakes!" Zhang Xianzhong ordered.

"Your Majesty!" Li Dingguo commanded.

Zhang Xianzhong nodded, yawned, and then went back to the harem to make up for sleep.

Next to him, Luo Rucai looked at Zhang Xianzhong and Li Dingguo, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with him, and now Zhang Xianzhong left without even looking at him, which made the anger in his heart come out all of a sudden, when he Luo Ru is a dead man!

No way! Luo Rucai decided that he couldn't just forget it, he led his troops out of the city tonight to attack, and when the artillery of the Ming army was destroyed, His Majesty would definitely look at him differently.

Don't mention Luo Rucai's plans.

Outside the city, the power of the artillery battalion of the Yinglong army was fully displayed after several rounds of volleys, and the city wall of Chengdu was blown up in a sea of fire.

Qin Liangyu and Ma Yue'e and other high-level officials of the Lizhou Army have seen it now, it turns out that there is really such a powerful cannon in this world, no wonder the Ying Long Army can be invincible, megatron the world, the Ming Dynasty has such a strong army, why not worry!

"Commander Zhou, how long is it expected to take to collapse the city walls of Chengdu?" Qin Liangyu stepped forward and asked.

Qin Liangyu has also seen the combat effectiveness of the infantry of the Yinglong Army, and she is confident that as long as the city wall of Chengdu is collapsed, the combat power of the Lizhou Army and the Yinglong Army will be able to defeat the Great Western Army in the city in one fell swoop, and then Sichuan can be determined!

"Chengdu is the largest city in Sichuan, the city is high and the river is deep, it is rare in the whole world, to collapse the city wall, it will take at least two days and two nights, and the existing shells in the artillery camp are only enough for two days and one night, and the missing part of it needs to be mobilized from the rear!" Zhou Cao said without concealment.

Lizhou City is undoubtedly the rear of the Ying Long Army and the Lizhou Army, and after marching into Chengdu, all the materials of the imperial court need to be transferred from Lizhou.

Qin Liangyu nodded, Lizhou has been run by her for many years, she is confident that Lizhou's defense should have no problem, she only needs to be cautious on the way to Chengdu.

In order to ensure safety, the four gates of Chengdu need to send people to closely monitor and prevent the Great Western Army from coming out to sneak attack!

Zhou Cao and Qin Liangyu had the same idea, closely monitoring every Great Western Army to ensure the safety of the rear transportation channel, especially that Li Dingguo, since he was the number one general under Zhang Xianzhong, he couldn't be careless.

It is inevitable to have a plan, but everything has variables, not to mention that Zhou Cao and Qin Liangyu did not know that there was a Manchurian Eight Banners that had entered Sichuan, although they kept an eye on Li Dingguo, but they could not prevent the occurrence of other variables.

Compared with the calm and waveless battle of Henan, the battle of Sichuan is undoubtedly more intense!
