"Bang!" The teacup was thrown heavily to the ground, and the thick felt allowed it to escape the disaster and avoid the fate of being divided.

"I haven't even gone up the city for several days, so what are you doing for food!" Ding Yi said furiously, and the central army tents were all kneeling in the Xu generals.

"Sir, the Luzhou defenders are very morale and will not retreat when they fight to the death. The city is narrow, and there are strong winds and rains from time to time, which is really true," the officer below lowered his head.

Ding Yi said: "Don't make excuses for me! We have a large army several times higher than Luzhou and have sufficient food and supplies. We all said before the war and went to Luzhou in two days. Now!"

As he said that, he angrily scolded: "I will give you one last chance. The car to attack the city tower will be completed in two days. If you don't go to Luzhou within five days, all military law will be dealt with!"

Now, the tent suddenly became silent.

The generals bowed their heads and dared not speak. The atmosphere was solemn. The military law dealt with it, that was to be executed. Many of these generals were young talents sent by several masters. Never saw such a formation.

At this time, Zhong Li stood up, smiled on his face, shook the paper fan in his hand, bowed politely, and then said to Ding Yi: "I think that the generals have failed to attack for several days, but because the weather is not good, it rains heavily from time to time, the ladder is slippery, and it is difficult for the soldiers to climb, so the rebels are not very powerful."

Listening to Zhong Li's help, young talents from all major tribes quickly gave them a look of gratitude.

Zhong Li smiled and bowed slightly.

Ding Yi looked at him but his expression became bad. Zhong Li hurriedly covered it up and continued, "Sir, I think that the best way to win by surprise is to win. Our army's ladder is almost destroyed, and the siege of the city tower has not been completed. The Luzhou defenders must have concluded that we dare not attack the city. If we are not talented, we are not a talented person with a clever idea, but we dare to predict that if we suddenly attack the city tonight, it will have miraculous results.

Moreover, we have been attacking the South Gate before, and we can suddenly attack the East Gate tonight, and the East Gate wall is shorter than the South Gate.”

Zhong Li spoke very well, and Ding Yi became meditated as he listened.

After a long time, Ding Yi nodded: "Brother Zhong's plan is indeed worth a try."

Then he looked at several generals who were still worried: "Make meals at sunset and eat well in the dark. If there is no rain tonight, it will surprise the East Gate."

Several generals breathed a sigh of relief and retreated.

Ding Yi then looked at Liu Ji on the side: "How have our army suffered casualties in the past few days?"

Liu Jigong bowed: "There are more than a thousand dead and more than two thousand injured. Many of them can no longer join the battle formation. Last night, twelve people wanted to escape from the camp at night. They were captured by their subordinates and beheaded and displayed in public."

Ding Yi nodded: "How about the five thousand horse army?"

Liu Ji said: "Sir, there is plenty of grass, but it has been damp and hot recently. Some horses have been sick, but they are not seriously injured."

"Hmph, if they dare to go out of the city to fight me, my five thousand horse army would kill them!" Ding Yi clenched his fists fiercely. He was a prepared man. He had studied the Jingchao Imperial Army when he started planning a great cause a few years ago.

He found that the Jing Dynasty army won with its excellent equipment and armor, and the Liao Kingdom could fight against the Jing Dynasty for hundreds of years, but it was a horse!

People cannot run away from horses. No matter how well the armor is or how harsh the training is, the horse will run away. Jing Chao's full suit weighs 60 or 70 kilograms of human armor. Those who can run 200 steps on their body are warriors, so don't mention catching up with the horses.

Therefore, horses are the killing weapon against the Jing Dynasty's imperial guards. They do not mean that they can directly rush forward, but that they can even kill the heavy infantry in Jing's country. Therefore, their major merchants took advantage of the convenience of trading with the Liao Kingdom and continued to introduce good horses. Over the years, they accumulated a small amount and accumulated eight thousand good horses.

Eight thousand cavalry! They can almost traverse the south.

Unfortunately, when the unruly people attacked the camp in Luzhou last time, there were more than 3,000 cavalrymen inside. Before they could get on, they were killed and ran away with their heads in their arms. In fact, more than 2,000 good horses fell into the hands of Luzhou.

The more I thought about this, the more depressed Ding Yi felt, and his eyes became sharp: "When the city is broken, I must take a good look at who is against me!"

"Bang!" A flash of fire, and a deafening sound echoed on both sides of the river. The entire ship beside the river bay vibrated. Then the muzzle rose, and the black shadow whistled through the air, making a harsh sound. In the blink of an eye, a foot-thick brick wall that was a few hundred steps away collapsed, and bricks and stones splashed.

Halfway through the mountain, the emperor held Fu'an's hand and his body trembled slightly, but Fu'an was also shaking.

Among the few people, Ji Chunsheng was not trembling because he had long been used to it.

Then there was a second shot, another cannon fired, and another loud bang. This time the shell flew further away in the whistling. The brick wall a mile away was safe and sound, because the shell did not hit it, but hit the stone next to it, and the rocks splashed instantly and the boulders shattered.

The third shot also hit the rocks on the river beach. It was not until the fourth shot that it hit the brick wall a mile away. A big hole was made on the wall and then collapsed.

Seeing this, whether it was the emperor, Fu'an, or the accompanying Privy Councilor Wen Daoli, no longer calmed down.

I thought it would be a big eye to see those two ships as big as the imperial guard ship today, but I didn’t expect that there would be such a thunderous thing!

"What is that? What is it used, what is the reason?" The emperor's lips trembled, and he was still a little shocked. He excitedly pointed at the cannons on the ship and asked one after another.

Ji Chunsheng quickly replied: "Your Majesty, that's called artillery, the gunpowder used to push the iron balls."

"It's also what Qiu'er made?"

Ji Chunsheng shook his head: "The boat was made by Miss Qiu'er. This cannon was designed by the prince, but it was very difficult to build. Your Majesty, these two big ships have six on both sides, two on the left and right sides, and three on the lower floor. Each ship is equipped with eighteen cannons, and the two ships are equipped with thirty-six cannons in total."

The emperor was completely shocked. The Fu'an master next to him also covered his mouth, while Wen Daoli was stunned. One sect already had such destructive power, and there were actually thirty-six sects on both ships!

The emperor shook his head incredibly: "When Xingzhou showed me the grenade, he said that black gunpowder is more useful than this, but I didn't expect it to be used like this!"

Then he excitedly pointed at the two large ships in the river bay: "How many people can these two ships carry?"

Ji Chunsheng said: "Your Majesty, although these two new ships are large, they have exquisite pedaling water wheels designed by Miss Qiu'er. However, because the artillery is too heavy, it also needs to carry a large amount of gunpowder and projectiles, each ship can only carry more than 200 people, and the total number of people is only about 500.

But please let Your Majesty go, as long as there are artillery on the river, the Suzhou warships are vulnerable."

Wen Daoli finally came back from the shock, patted his ears, and sighed: "It's not just a ship. If there are hundreds of gates, what's the use of the Liao cavalry, a strong city!"

The emperor nodded, with a lot of things in his eyes. Even if he never missed the color, it would be difficult to hide his joy on his face at this time.

Fu'an observed his expression and quickly followed, "Pingnan Prince is really a blessing general of the Jing Kingdom. With such a grandson, His Majesty has a profound blessing and God will protect him."

Hearing his words, the emperor seemed to remember something and told Ji Chunsheng: "You must remember that this time I went south, savior was the best. Whether the ship in Suzhou was fighting was a trivial matter. Xing Zhou was stubborn and stubborn. He decided that he would go to save Princess Qing'an and would not look back. If the matter was a last resort, you would force him away without caring about Princess Qing'an."

Ji Chunsheng felt a trembling heart when he heard this, but he still knelt down and took the order.

The emperor then looked from a distance to Qiu'er, who was riding on a horse and only knew how to clean the cannon barrels by the worker of the royal palace: "Yes, Sin Chew has vision this time."
