Five cannons outside the city kept firing. The solid city walls were shaking in the artillery fire and had collapsed in many places. The defenders on the walls were terrified.
At this moment, a huge voice was heard from Pei Yun’s army.
"The blue sky has died, the yellow sky should be established, the year is Jiazi, and the world is blessed."
"The Immortal Master has come to this world, the might of heaven is unstoppable, those who follow heaven will prosper, those who go against heaven will perish!"
"Why don't you surrender quickly!"
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers roared together. The sound was so loud that it resounded over the city of Jinling. Combined with the roar of artillery fire, it brought tremendous psychological pressure to the defenders of Jinling.
They had long heard that Pei Yun was an immortal master, and now seeing the power of the cannon, they became even more panicked.
Now that the other side is shouting, morale has dropped to the lowest point.
The opponent's siege method was completely different from what they knew. It was a direct long-range attack, and the catapults were even more powerful.
The range of the trebuchet is also within the range of the trebuchets on the city wall, so both sides can throw at each other, but now the opponent's weapons are outside the range of the trebuchet.
The enemy could hit the city wall, and they could only watch helplessly.
Many soldiers had been killed in the explosion on the city wall. Although the number was a drop in the bucket compared to the huge army, the psychological pressure was enormous.
Now the other side is calling on them to surrender, which makes these soldiers a little shaken. If the emperor was not here, they would probably really surrender.
Xiao Yu was a little furious when he heard the voices of the other side trying to persuade them to surrender. He shouted angrily, "Form a battle array, charge out and kill them all! Whoever kills Pei Yun will be granted the title of Marquis of Wanhu!"
The city gate has been destroyed, the city wall is in tatters, and the morale of the opposing army is being shaken. It would be better to go out and fight Pei Yun to the death. He has an army of 500,000, so how can he not be able to defeat the other side?
The wreckage at the city gate was pushed open and the troops in the city rushed out. Except for the 100,000 imperial guards who stayed in the city to protect Xiao Yu, the rest of the troops all left the city.
Xiao Yu stood on the city wall again, drew his sword and shouted.
"I am the Son of Heaven! The destiny is in my hands! How can a mere demon go against Heaven?!"
"Kill them all for me!"
"kill!"
The soldiers roared and rushed towards Pei Yun.
When Pei Yun saw the defenders of Jinling City rushing out, a smile appeared on his face. What he wanted was for these defenders to rush out. Although they had artillery, the losses would still be huge if they attacked the city.
He ordered people to destroy the city gate so that Xiao Yu would think that they would rush in at any time.
Now Xiao Yu really ordered his men to go out of the city for a fight, giving up the advantage of defending the city. This was exactly what he wanted, as he saw the defenders rushing over.
The five cannons immediately adjusted their muzzles and aimed at the oncoming defenders. At the same time, the army in the rear made way, revealing more than a dozen catapults.
The cannons and catapults fired at the same time. Suddenly, the shells whistled and huge rocks broke through the air and smashed towards the Jinling defenders.
Seeing this, the defending general was so angry that he vomited blood. Damn, you have catapults! He is so shameless.
You have catapults but don't use them, use ultra-long-range weapons. Now that people are rushing out, you should use the catapults.
This huge black army can be hit even if you just smash it with your eyes closed.
Bang bang bang!
Bombs and boulders fell on the rushing army and instantly exploded. Neither the shells nor the boulders were something the soldiers could withstand.
They were either crushed to death on the spot or blown to pieces.
However, for an army of 400,000, it takes time to load the artillery and catapults, and this is their opportunity.
"Prepare!"
Xiao Yan shouted, and immediately all the Jingzhou soldiers under his command took out their bombs. As the craftsmen's skills matured, the production of bombs became faster and faster.
Pei Yun also equipped the Jingzhou army with a lot of troops.
At this moment, the Jingzhou soldiers lit the fuse together and threw it out.
Boom boom boom!
Violent explosions sounded again, and the soldiers who were at the front were immediately blown over.
Soon after, Molotov cocktails were thrown out, forming a wall of fire. The Jinling defenders outnumbered them, so they tried to inflict as many casualties as possible first.
"It's the thunder from the sky and the fire from the earth!"
The Jinling defenders shouted. They had heard about Pei Yun's weapons a long time ago, and the three-piece set was the most powerful.
Now both the heavenly thunder and the earthly fire have appeared, the only thing missing is the thunder tube. Then they saw five thousand people lined up in the team ahead.
There are five rows of one thousand people in each row.
Sun Gan was standing aside. When he saw the defenders rushing in, he suddenly blew the whistle. The sharp whistle instantly resounded over the battlefield.
Bang bang bang!
The first row of muskets opened fire. There was a deafening roar and lead bullets poured out like a rainstorm. The soldiers in the front were instantly shot into sieves.
Even wearing armor is not enough to protect you.
After the first row of soldiers finished firing, they quickly moved from both sides to the back, and then began to clean the gun barrels and reload ammunition.
The soldiers in the second row also opened fire at this time, followed by the third row, the fourth row, and the fifth row.
By the time the fifth row had finished firing, the soldiers in the first row had already reloaded and were firing again.
If it were cavalry, the Fire Gun Battalion would have to retreat after two rounds at most. Once the cavalry rushed up, they would not be able to resist.
But the defenders of Nanjing were all infantry, so the speed was much slower.
The infantry could hardly rush forward and all fell under the muzzles of guns. The corpses piled up and the smell of blood was pungent.
"shoot!"
At Xiao Heng's command, countless rockets flew out from the army and shot towards the oncoming imperial army. This was also an improved method of making rockets that Pei Yun found on the Internet.
The front end of the arrow is tied with gunpowder and has a range of up to five hundred steps.
A barrage of arrows fell densely on the imperial army, and the garrisons that came to support from other places were in despair.
How do I fight this?
The distance between the two sides is like a chasm. The opponent either has high-powered weapons or ultra-long-range weapons.
Before they could even reach the enemy line, many of their men had died, causing the defenders to lose confidence.
"kill!"
Pei Yun roared at this moment, and the army that had been waiting for a long time behind him rushed out immediately.
"Those who follow the will of heaven will prosper, those who go against it will perish. Why don't you surrender quickly!"
The soldiers on Pei Yun's side shouted again.
"The Immortal Master has come to this world to save you. Don't be stubborn and stubborn."
"Follow the immortal master, as long as you make contributions, you can become an immortal in your next life."
"Both princes have already submitted to the Immortal Master, what are you still hesitating about!"
Calls for surrender continued to be heard.
The Jinling defenders completely collapsed. Even though they still outnumbered the enemy, they had lost their morale.
The opponent's weapons were too terrifying. In addition, before Pei Yun set out for Jinling, he had already sent people to infiltrate Jinling to spread his identity as a divine being.
These defenders had all heard about it more or less, and now they had personally experienced the Thunderbolt Tube, and they were completely convinced that Pei Yun was an immortal master, otherwise how could he have made such a terrifying weapon.
And even the prince has surrendered, which means that the other party is really the reincarnation of an immortal.
