At the city gate...
Shen Yong aimed at the city gate and threw a grenade at it accurately.
With a loud "bang", the city gate shook a few times, and a large groove appeared on the heavy iron gate.
Minister of War Kong Zhiyu held tightly to the pillars of the city gate tower with both hands, his face pale with fear.
"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me!!"
"Hurry up and stop, we can talk it over..."
What the hell is this? It’s making such a big noise, it’s almost fatal.
How can we fight like this? We are being beaten one-sidedly by the other side.
A few more hits and the city gate tower will collapse.
Lieutenant Li held onto the parapet with both hands, holding the iron trumpet and shouting at the top of his voice,
"armistice!!!"
"Cease the fighting!! We can discuss everything!"
What a sin! If I had known this, I wouldn’t have fought against the other party.
Before any word came from Emperor Tianwu, the city gate was about to be breached.
This is a great shame and humiliation.
Who could have imagined that the enemy had weapons with such destructive power?
Captain Li stretched his head tremblingly and looked down at the city gate tower.
There are several large pits at the city gate, each one person deep, emitting a pungent smell.
Cruel, really too cruel...
Looking at the enemy army opposite, their formation didn't move at all. Only a few soldiers rushed out, threw something quickly towards the city gate, and then retreated quickly.
The crossbow arrows shot by the crossbowman didn't even touch the opponent's hair.
Chen Yong heard the shouting coming from the city gate tower, curled his lips and smiled, turned on the speaker to play the recording,
"The Golden Armored Army has arrived. Open the city gates immediately and surrender to spare your life! Those who resist will have their entire clan exterminated upon the day the city is breached!"
"Those who surrender will live! Those who resist will die!"
"Resist for one day, and we'll destroy the city and slaughter everyone!"
After the two parties negotiated for a while, Shen Yong added another sentence to the loudspeaker recording.
His patience is limited and he must enter the city today.
Ji Guangda rubbed his hands, very excited.
"Your Majesty, please have your subordinates throw two grenades."
"If only two more hits were to happen, the city gate would have collapsed."
Oh, it’s really cool to use this thing in battle, it’s very deterrent.
This was completely different from the feeling of him leading his soldiers to practice throwing grenades at the foot of the mountain.
Looking at the panicked soldiers on the city gate tower, he couldn't help but want to scare them again.
In fact, with Chen Yong's martial arts skills, it would be easy for him to throw a grenade onto the city gate tower.
But that would cause the city gate to collapse and cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
If the capital city can be preserved intact, it would of course be best to keep it intact.
It’s impossible that after taking the capital, it will be bombed into ruins everywhere.
However, the city gate can still be blown up a few more times, and it is still very quick to install a city gate.
Shen Yong smiled and said, "I'll let you throw the next one."
Emperor Tianwu's men haven't arrived yet, and the news from the city gate hasn't reached the palace yet, so a few more grenades have to be thrown.
He hoped that Emperor Tianwu would come to the city gate himself and throw a grenade in front of him, which would scare the emperor to death.
"Okay, okay..." Ji Guangda rubbed his hands happily and looked at the boxes of grenades, feeling extremely excited.
If he were given a hundred or eighty boxes of grenades, he could lead these grenade troops to take over the Fire Phoenix Kingdom.
Ji Guangda thought about it and planned to ask Shen Yong to attack the Fire Phoenix Kingdom after he took over the Great Heavenly Dynasty.
He had been guarding the border town for so many years and was harassed by the Fire Phoenix Kingdom every now and then, which made him very angry.
With these extremely lethal weapons, let’s see how he can deal with those people from the Fire Phoenix Country.
I can finally take revenge for all these years.
At this time, Captain Li on the city gate tower heard Shen Yong's shout again, and his whole body became numb.
Before these extremely lethal weapons were thrown at him, he thought that what Chen Yong said was just bragging.
Even if the army in the capital is smaller, there are still almost 100,000 people, and they can defend the city for at least ten days or half a month.
Thinking of taking the capital in one day is simply a joke.
Not to mention the capital, it is impossible to capture any city in one day.
But when the enemy threw out this strange and powerful weapon, he finally understood why Shen Yong dared to say that he could take over the capital in one day.
If ten or eight of these things are thrown at the city gate, the gate tower will collapse.
By then, the capital city will no longer be safe.
"Minister Kong...what...what should we do?"
Captain Li looked at Minister Kong who was hugging the pillar with a pale face.
Among the six ministers, two of them had the surname Kong, but their personalities were very different.
The Minister of Revenue, Kong Zongli, was a cunning and treacherous man. He heard that many prefecture governors were showing filial respect to Kong Zongli.
The Minister of War, Kong Zhiyu, was particularly upright and often argued with other ministers in the court.
However, in terms of ability to take on responsibilities, the Minister of War is more responsible.
Kong Zhiyu let go of the hand holding the pillar, took a deep breath, and looked at the enemy with horror on his face.
"What else can I do?"
After a pause, Kong Zhiyu pursed his lips, looked at Captain Li, and sighed.
"Just hold it off for now. Just shout and tell someone to report to the Emperor and give him some leniency. We don't have the final say on this matter."
Since the enemy had such powerful weapons, he actually felt that there was no need to fight this war anymore.
Continuing to fight would only result in more unnecessary sacrifices.
They simply have no ability to resist.
They don't even have the ability to defend themselves against weapons with such great destructive power.
Even if the soldiers rushed out with shields, they could not withstand two hits.
Captain Li looked at Kong Zhiyu steadily, nodded, and shouted at the enemy with a tin trumpet,
"Please give us some time. We cannot make the decision on this matter. We still need to report to the Emperor."
After a pause, Captain Li quickly added, "I've sent someone to report. Please wait a moment."
After putting down the iron horn, Captain Li looked at Kong Zhiyu.
When the enemy threw the first grenade, they had already sent guards to report to the emperor.
But there has been no news so far.
Judging from the time, the guards had probably only been in the palace for a short time.
This time is really hard to bear.
Kong Zhiyu sighed and waved to the guard beside him.
"Go and report to the Emperor again, the city gate can no longer be defended!!"
This is also to tell Emperor Tianwu to make arrangements early and run away as soon as possible.
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.
However, he felt that Emperor Tianwu would not run away because...Emperor Tianwu was too confident.
He had said everything he needed to say and reported everything he needed to report. As for what Emperor Tianwu would do, that was not something he could control.
Watching the guards hurriedly leave the city gate tower, Kong Zhiyu and Captain Li looked at each other, their eyes full of sadness.
They both sighed at the same time and looked up at the sky.
Oh my god, things are really going to change.
