Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

More than a hundred sacred fire crows roared into the sky one after another, dragging their long tail flames towards the city, which looked particularly gorgeous in the night sky.

It's the Divine Fire Flying Crow. Please notify us quickly and ask everyone to cover their mouths and noses with wet cloths. Qin Liangyu, who was standing on the tower and watching the battle with a monocular, exclaimed.

Military adviser Gu Junming predicted that the rebels would steal the city in the middle of the night. She ordered the soldiers to prepare for night battles. She was still naked when she rested. When the crisp gunfire sounded, she immediately jumped out of bed and took the clothes beside her. Sword and telescope, surrounded by guards, he registered and went to the city tower to take charge.

The top of the city was already filled with soldiers preparing for war. The torches and oil basins lit everywhere illuminated the top of the city as bright as day, allowing all the soldiers to see clearly.

The Divine Fire Flying Crow was once one of the heavy weapons commonly used by the Ming army. Later, due to various reasons, its use was gradually reduced. However, many soldiers are familiar with the functions and harms of the Divine Fire Flying Crow, and also know how to prevent poisonous smoke.

Before Qin Liangyu's order could be conveyed, the Baigan soldiers had already made it clear to the soldiers from the Sichuan Army Camp beside them. They soaked a cloth with water, covered their mouth and nose, and tied it behind their heads.

Inform the artillery to blow up the rebels' Shenhuo Feiyao position. Gu Junming said to the herald who was standing behind him. He took the wet wipes handed over by the guards and covered his mouth and nose.

Several groups of artillery observers crouched at the crenellations of the walls at the top of several sections of the city. They held up monoculars to observe the battlefield and were ready to provide the artillery with shooting coordinates and directions. When they saw the flying crows roaring into the sky, they were moved out of curiosity. Due to his professional instinct, he had already silently measured the coordinates of the Rebel Army's flying crow position for launching the Divine Fire. As soon as Gu Mingjun's order came, he immediately reported the coordinates.

After two rounds of school firing, howling artillery shells covered the position where the rebels fired the flying crows.

Hundreds of launchers of the rebel army and the craftsmen who made the Divine Fire Crow did not leave immediately after launching the Divine Fire Crow. Instead, they stood there and watched the effect. As a result, they were covered by five rounds of explosive bullets, causing heavy casualties.

Zhang Xianzhong and a group of counselors, generals and personal guards stood on the left side of the Shenhuo Feiyao position. They were all shocked when they saw the entire Shenhuo Feiyao being blown to pieces by the cannons of the army. If the cannons of the army missed even a little, what fun would it be? It's big.

Your Majesty, this place is dangerous. It's better to retreat a few miles.

Some generals advised Zhang Xianzhong to stay out of the cannon's range to ensure safety.

Zhang Xianzhong has established the Daxi Empire and proclaimed himself Emperor of the Daxi. It is necessary to address him as emperor, and Zhang Xianzhong also likes his subordinates to call him that. Smart people call him emperor, and some ignorant people still call him the king.

What are you afraid of? It's dark now, and the officers and soldiers can't see it. I don't believe their cannons can fire so accurately. It's my fault. Zhang Xianzhong cursed.

It was so dark that you couldn't even see your fingers, and they didn't use torches or lanterns. Even if the officers and soldiers were clairvoyant, they couldn't see it. Well, he just didn't believe in this evil.

On the top of the city, several groups of artillery observers turned a blind eye to the rebels who were madly attacking the city. They all held up monocular binoculars to observe the effect of the artillery bombardment of the rebel Shenhuo Feiyao position in order to correct the impact point at any time.

One group of observers took advantage of the moment when the shells exploded and produced fire, and they faintly saw something about thirty meters away to the left of the Shenhuo Feiyao position that was being bombarded indiscriminately.

They all held up their monocular binoculars and looked to the left in the suspected direction, observing carefully the moment when the exploding shells produced fire.

It seemed like there was a huge queue of people.

Several observers exchanged views and determined that the target was indeed a large number of rebels gathering there. Once the city was breached, they would immediately launch a charge.

When Qin Liangyu and Gu Junming received the information, they both frowned. It was a pity to let such a valuable target go, but they were worried that the artillery would hit Zhang Xianzhong too hard and beat Zhang Xianzhong severely. What should they do if he escaped in the middle of the night?

How about we try two rounds?
