Jiang Hai distributed flyers into the capital city with one purpose, which was to see if Yang Hongye would get impatient and send someone out to be killed.
This way, there is no need to bomb the capital city. The capital city has a large population and the city walls are higher than those of ordinary cities. If we bombard it indiscriminately, there will be too many accidental casualties.
Although such things cannot be completely avoided when two armies are fighting, Jiang Hai still doesn't want to be too extreme if possible.
After all, doing so will have a certain negative impact on Lao Liu's takeover of Darong.
After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Qin Wan asked the gunners to prepare. In fact, he had been keeping an eye on the city gate.
Moreover, the muzzle of the gun had been adjusted long ago, and the area within one mile outside the city gate was within the attack range.
"Master, are you going to fight right away?" Qin Wan asked.
"Wait, wait until more of them come out before we fight." Jiang Hai said as he picked up the telescope and looked.
Then, he was tickled by the joke.
"Hahahaha, these idiots are actually forming a formation at the city gate."
He burst into laughter. Was he thinking that dying wasn't fast enough?
"Awan, you can do whatever you want. Just give me the order whenever I want to attack you."
"OK."
Qin Wan responded and then focused on looking at the defenders who were still deploying troops outside the city gate.
The defenders formed nearly ten square formations and prepared to move towards the Yuezhou army outside the city.
"beat."
Qin Wan gave an order.
Countless artillery shells flew out from the front of the army, covering the area outside the city gate.
Suddenly, there was a roar of artillery fire, smoke filled the air, flames shot up into the sky, and dust and mud flew everywhere.
The sound of explosions mixed with wailing came from the battlefield, which was extremely tragic.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Jiang Hai put away his playful smile. There was no joy of victory, but only helplessness.
One general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers.
I just hope that this situation can successfully deter the defenders of the capital and stop their meaningless resistance.
The same was true for the East Gate and the South Gate, but no troops were sent out from the West Gate, thus avoiding a futile defeat.
When they went out of the city to meet the enemy, they instantly lost several thousand soldiers of the capital's defenders.
What the hell is this? King Xuan, standing on the southern city wall, watched this scene and felt guilty.
Cui Dongcheng, who was guarding the east gate, couldn't help but take two steps back. If this thing flew onto the city wall, he would be dead too.
He thought silently that if he saw the situation was not right, he would run away quickly.
The Yuezhou army has now surrounded the three exits of the capital city. No matter how hard the defenders struggle, it is just a fight of trapped beasts.
After a wave of shock, the defenders of the capital city quieted down and no longer dared to send anyone out to die.
Seeing this, Jiang Hai said to Yuchi Zhong and Qin Wan,
"I'll go to the South Gate to meet up with Lao Liu. It's better to have him come this time.
Qin Wan, if you hear artillery fire from the south, follow suit and blow up all the city gates on the east side. Then attack the city gates."
"Okay, Master."
Qin Wan agreed and began to arrange personnel, and assigned some of them to adjust the direction towards the city gate.
Jiang Hai and Wen Zhi also rode their horses towards the south gate of the capital. This time he wanted Yang Hongjin to persuade them to surrender and show them the authentic edict of the old emperor.
On top of the East City Gate, Cui Dongcheng saw Jiang Hai riding his horse towards the south, and saw soldiers setting up cannons in the distance, some of whom were moving the cannon positions.
He seemed to be thinking about something, and handed over the task of defending the city to his deputy general while he hurried to the south gate.
He was mainly worried that the enemy would point their cannons at the city wall, so he thought it might be better to go over and lean against King Xuan.
Moreover, the person who went to the south might be a powerful person. If we can kill him, there might be a chance of turning the situation around.
Outside the South City Gate, Jiang Hai found Yang Hongjin and told him about his future plans.
"Sixth Brother, I've asked you to come this time. I'll lay the groundwork for you first, and then you can talk about the persuasion."
"Okay, do you want to go to the front? Why didn't my brother-in-law set up the podium this time?
I heard that you always set up a stage, just like performing an opera, which is really fun."
Well, the Sixth Prince is also naughty.
Jiang Hai said seriously,
"How can we call it playing? This is business. Okay, let's not waste time. This time, let's go straight to the balloon and look down at them. That will give us more momentum and look cool."
"Okay, you can arrange it."
Yang Hongjin nodded.
Jiang Hai asked someone to hang the speakers outside the hot air balloon basket, and the wires were tied together along the rope of the hot air balloon.
Then, the hot air balloon slowly rose into the air, reaching a height slightly higher than the city wall.
The hot air balloon was pulled by a rope and tied to an oversized nail on the ground.
After reaching a certain height, it stopped rising and drifted closer to the city wall in the direction of the wind.
But it was still out of the range of the bow and arrow.
Jiang Hai started patting and saying "Hey, hey, hey" as usual.
"Did you hear that?"
The sound was like thunder, extremely loud. Not only could it be heard on the city walls, but it could also be heard in many places in the south of the city.
This time Jiang Hai did not start speaking immediately, but spoke directly.
"Artillery battalion, prepare. In ten seconds, blow down all the city gates."
"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."
He counted down, just to create a sense of oppression.
After Jiang Hai finished counting, he fired.
After the cannon sounded, shells flew towards several gates on the southern city wall.
Then, there was a loud explosion.
When the smoke and dust cleared, none of the southern city gates survived; they were all blown up.
"How is it? This efficiency is pretty good, right?" Jiang Hao calmly showed his superiority on the hot air balloon.
The defenders on the city wall all felt a chill down their spines.
If this thing blows up the city wall directly, will they still be alive?
Just as they were still trembling, the same explosion was heard from the east city gate.
Obviously, not only the south side was breached, but the east city gate was in the same situation as here if nothing unexpected happened.
In this way, if the Yuezhou army wanted to enter the city, there would be no city gates blocking them and they could march straight in.
The defenders suddenly felt bad. The advantages they had in defending the city in the past were completely useless here.
Jiang Hai did not order anyone to attack the city, but continued to lay the groundwork.
"See? It's easy to blow you up. Don't think you're safe on the city wall.
The reason why I didn't bomb you is that the King of Yue is merciful and can't bear to see the soldiers of Dayong die in vain.
The original decree of succession was given to the King of Yue, and Yang Hongye was just a clown who killed his father to seize power.
Next, let the King of Yue say a few words to you. The Emperor's handwritten edict is here."
After saying that, Jiang Hai pointed at the imperial edict in Yang Hongjin's hand, handed the microphone to Yang Hongjin, and asked him to persuade them to surrender.
Yang Hongjin took the microphone and imitated the "Hello, hello, hello" sound a few times.
He didn't know if it was the right way to do it, but it was always a good idea to learn how to do it.
"Hey, hey, hey, can you hear me?"
Yang Hongjin's voice was already louder than Jiang Hai's, so it would be strange if he couldn't hear it.
The defenders on the city wall were secretly complaining, but they were also looking forward to what Yang Hongjin would say.
Yang Hongjin cleared his throat and said,
"Soldiers, you are soldiers of Darong, not puppets of a kingless and fatherless man."
