Volume 1 Chapter 102 Bombardment of the Capital
A densely packed army rushed out, their numbers were terrifying, and judging from their posture, they were obviously much more numerous than Xiang Yun's troops.
But Xiang Yun was not panicked at all, and he gave the order directly: "The Great Sun Cannon Troops continue to aim at the city gate, and this time fire one cannon after another. If you see anyone gathering at the city gate, bombard them!
Guo Xuan, you are responsible for this matter. I want to see how brave they are! "
Then Xiang Yun gave the order: "Da Ri Rifle Troops, all of you come to the front!"
Three thousand Obano rifles were set up and aimed. As long as Xiang Yun gave the order, they would shoot at the enemy troops rushing towards them.
The sound of the Great Sun Cannon was heard. The gate of the capital city had already been crowded with a large number of Mahayana soldiers. This cannon killed and injured hundreds of people instantly, and blasted a gap in the army at the entire city gate.
But soon the gap was covered by the densely packed soldiers rushing out, but the next moment, another artillery shell came and created another gap.
However, this level of casualties in a short period of time cannot scare these hot-blooded soldiers at all. Just kidding, there are two million troops in the capital. The casualties are just a drizzle.
At this time, as the rushing soldiers got closer and closer to Xiang Yun's troops, Xiang Yun immediately gave an order, and all the soldiers holding rifles opened fire at the same time, and immediately large numbers of enemy troops fell to the ground.
Then they pulled the bolt, continued to load bullets, aimed and shot again.
But just three thousand rifles could not stop these soldiers. As more and more people rushed over, they were all less than a hundred meters away from Xiang Yun and others, and were approaching at high speed.
At this time, Xiang Yun smiled and waved his hand. A large number of archers appeared from the side and shot at the enemy troops rushing over. They were all shot to death by the arrows and stopped fifty meters away from Xiang Yun's position.
Although the rifle troops are small, Xiang Yun has too many archers. Among the army of more than 200,000, there are more than 100,000 soldiers equipped with bows and arrows. Each of them has 40 arrows in his quiver. This number is quite terrifying.
In the current war, Xiang Yun can rely on these archers and rifles to keep all the enemy troops of the Mahayana Kingdom within fifty meters.
War is crazy, and the soldiers who rush out to fight a bloody battle are even crazier.
But no matter how crazy they are, they can't possibly touch a hair of Xiang Yun and others.
The battle lasted for a full hour, and finally no enemy troops dared to rush out of the city gate.
The ground at the city gate was blasted with a half-meter-deep pit by the huge Japanese cannon, and the pit was full of blood, all of which belonged to these soldiers.
The most abundant thing inside the city gate was soldiers who were blown to pieces, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. The whole scene was as terrible as hell on earth.
In fact, there are still more soldiers in the capital, but now no matter what orders the commanders give, these soldiers dare not run away.
Continue to charge? Don't be ridiculous. If you go out, you will either be blown up or shot to death. No soldier who rushes out of the capital will have a good end. Bullets and arrows are fatal.
It would be fine if they died in one hit, but the most painful thing is those soldiers who are not killed by arrows and guns, but have no one to finish them off and are unable to move. Living is truly extremely painful.
No one came out again, but the walls of the capital were still densely populated with archers. It was obvious that they were prepared to fight a defensive battle and no longer hoped to launch a frontal attack.
All they needed to do was to delay time and wait for the four million troops from behind Xiang Yun and others to arrive. At that time, they would attack from both inside and outside and annihilate the army of the Great Sun Dynasty in one fell swoop!
Xiang Yun naturally knew this, which was why he had been marching in a hurry. Therefore, time could not be wasted, and they had to speed up the capture of the capital of the Mahayana Kingdom. Only by capturing the king would they have a chance of survival.
Xiang Yun ordered all the troops to stop attacking, and then rode his horse alone towards the capital.
Sure enough, as soon as he came into their shooting range, a large number of arrows were shot at Xiang Yun.
But the city wall alone is a hundred meters high. At such a distance, how accurate can these bows and arrows be? It is simply wishful thinking for Xiang Yun to want to hit only one target.
Especially after Xiang Yun had an intimate relationship with Lingzhi, he used the method of Yin and Yang to transform all the accumulated solar essence energy in his body into self-generating power. Now he is not too powerful, at least three times stronger than before the transformation.
So when faced with such sparse bow and arrow shooting, he didn't take it seriously at all.
While dodging arrows, he came to the city wall, condensed the sun energy on his vocal cords, and shouted loudly: "Everyone in the capital of the Mahayana Kingdom, listen up, I am the emperor of the Great Sun Dynasty, and now my army is at the gates of the city, and has surrounded the entire capital!
No matter you are common people or merchants, even nobles and soldiers, even if you are your king, you must raise your hands above your head, without any weapons, and surrender to me within one hour. Then I will be kind enough to spare your lives!
In one hour, I will massacre the whole city! Those who have not left the capital, wish you the best!"
The sound blessed by the Great Sun Energy resounded throughout the capital. Almost everyone could hear it, even Emperor Jim and his beloved concubine who were in the palace could hear it clearly.
"Your Majesty, this is too terrible. Shouldn't we hide for a while?"
Emperor Jim said coldly with a gloomy face: "Humph, he won't be arrogant for long. My beloved concubine, just watch. In just two hours, someone will catch the little emperor and make him kneel before me!"
Outside the city wall of the capital, after Xiang Yun made his threats, he turned around and rode away.
Such words could not scare anyone at all. Xiang Yun just went over to issue a notice to show his kindness as an emperor. He did not expect the people in the capital to really come out and surrender.
War is cruel, but Xiang Yun still wants to use courtesy before force. However, if he doesn't accept the courtesy, don't blame his soldiers for being too brutal.
An hour passed quickly, and as expected, no one left the capital.
This gave Xiang Yun an excuse to take action with a clear conscience.
Xiang Yun gave the order directly: "All the Sun Cannons, aim at the capital, especially the huge palace, and fire three rounds freely for me!"
After this order was issued, the soldiers in charge of the Great Sun Cannon became excited. The range of this cannon was as high as ten miles, so it would be a mistake to want to hit the distant palace.
All of a sudden, dense artillery fire rang out, and a large number of shells were fired, falling into the capital of the Mahayana Kingdom and exploding.
Some of the bullets hit the army defending the city, some hit the prosperous restaurants, some hit the streets, some hit the casinos where nobles played, and some even hit the imperial palace.
Without exception, they exploded at the first touch. The explosion of gunpowder was a destructive force that nothing could resist.
In three rounds, nine hundred shells danced in this huge capital, exploding everywhere. No one could resist. The casualties were countless, including ordinary people, nobles, and even several royal concubines.
As the Big Sun Cannon fired, the originally quiet capital suddenly became boiling. The peaceful city was suddenly filled with cries of grief and panic.
Kindness does not command the army, righteousness does not command the wealth. Xiang Yun can avoid harming any civilians along the way, but this depends on the situation when the other party cannot threaten him.
If they don't come out to surrender, they are not civilians, but enemies!
Inside the imperial palace of the capital, Emperor Jim was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, because he was just being intimate with his beloved concubine, and suddenly a shell exploded in the palace where he was, just ten meters away from him.
He was so frightened that he almost fainted. His beloved concubine was so frightened that she kept screaming. She didn't care about her indecent appearance and ran away naked, risking her life.
Emperor Jim also hurriedly put on his clothes and ran out of the palace angrily. He saw that the entire capital was filled with smoke and dust, and countless fires were on fire. He was so angry that he jumped up and cursed: "Damn little emperor, I will grind you to ashes!"
Then he summoned a eunuch and ordered, "Quickly inform the soldiers guarding the city to go out of the city immediately to meet the enemy, don't just lie there and wait for the dead!
Whoever can take the head of the little emperor will be granted the title of first-class duke!"
"Yes!" After the eunuch left, Emperor Jim cursed angrily, "What the hell, two million soldiers are scared by 200,000 people, good-for-nothings, all good-for-nothings!"
Then he turned around with a heavy heart and re-entered the palace, and came to the Baohua Hall where he usually held court. On the wall behind the throne of the Baohua Hall, there was an unfolded colorful painting that was six meters high and two meters wide.
The painting depicts a dignified woman wearing a colorful silk dress, with black hair reaching her ankles, phoenix eyes, a red dot between her eyebrows, a smile on her lips, holding a glass cup in her hand, and standing on a golden lotus platform with a thousand petals.
The people in the painting are lifelike, just like living creatures. Although they are beautiful and have good figures, they do not bring any evil thoughts to people. When looking at this painting, my heart is filled with reverence.
The person in the painting should appear in the fairyland, not in this mortal world.
When Emperor Jim arrived in front of the painting, he actually knelt down on both knees, performed three prostrations and nine kowtows, and then said in a loud voice: "Holy Mother of the Ninth Heaven, your descendants are about to encounter a disaster. I hope that the Holy Mother will protect you and keep the descendants safe, and that the Mahayana Nation will not be destroyed."
Under the temptation of the first-rank duke, the city guards of the Mahayana Kingdom rushed out again and launched an attack.
It was another round of brutal massacre, a repeat of the past, and nothing was working at all.
But the Mahayana Kingdom could afford to waste time, but Xiang Yun couldn't, so he immediately ordered: "All troops, attack the city!"
"Three thousand Great Sun Rifle Troops will lead the way for the vanguard army, and archers will assist and cover the Great Sun Cannon Troops' advance!"
After the order was issued, more than 200,000 troops advanced rapidly, aiming at the gate of the capital.
Xiang Yun prepared to attack the city. Anyone who stood in his way would be killed. Even if it was a Buddha, he would be killed!
"Everyone, aim at the city gate, boom!"
There are ten guns in a group, and one round can always clear out all the soldiers near the city gate.
Then Xiang Yun led his army to advance rapidly taking advantage of this gap.
After only three sets of artillery bombardments, Xiang Yun and others had reached the gate of the capital city and began to enter the city!
