Chapter 38 Boom
Qian Xiaoxing's warship was sailing on the sea for more than ten days, and it had already arrived at Lin Guo's military port that day. The warships bombarded the Lin army in the military port, and the fireworks flashed everywhere, leaving Lin's army running away everywhere. The Navy of Si occupied the military port without any effort.
At this moment, Sima Yiqing was leading the troops to attack Qidu City. He heard the sound of cannons in Qidu City from afar. Sima Yiqing's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that Lin Jun already knew how to fire the cannon, but Sima Yiqing was not giving up. He just hoped that Lin Jun would not aim yet. If the cannon was not accurate, this battle could still be fought.
Sima Yiqing was afraid of cannons and did not dare to suppress all the soldiers. He sent twenty cannons and three thousand soldiers to suddenly start bombing the walls of Qidu.
The shells hit the city wall accurately, and after the explosion, a stream of white smoke flew out. Lin Jun on the city wall indeed fought back, but the cannons were bombarding the shells, and it seemed that the accuracy was not very good.
Sima Yiqing observed it and felt that there was no problem, so he ordered all five hundred cannons to push up. In order to prevent the Lin army from suddenly leaving the city to attack the artillery, he also sent 20,000 soldiers to protect.
The five hundred cannons had just reached the range and before they could fire, Lin's cannons suddenly rang out in pieces. Moreover, the accuracy was completely different from the one in front. It landed accurately in the Si army. Dozens of shells exploded and killed a piece of Si army.
"Your grandma!" Sima Yiqing couldn't help but curse and swear. It was obvious that Lin Jun also knew that they had sent twenty cannons in order to test them. Unexpectedly, Lin Jun was extremely cunning and deliberately could not fire the cannons to deceive him.
The Divine Power Cannon is really powerful. Lin Jun was on the wall and was very satisfied with fighting. It was not easy for Si Jun to hit the people on the wall. After Sima Yiqing hesitated, many shells flew down and killed many Si Jun. Sima Yiqing hurriedly shouted: "Retreat, retreat quickly!"
Si Jun hurriedly retreated. On the city wall, King Lin couldn't help laughing when he saw Si Jun running away in a panic and said, "This cannon is really good. Even Sima Yiqing can only escape."
The confidant beside him reminded: "Now the Si army is in a panic. Should we take the opportunity to chase him out?"
King Lin thought for a while and said, "No, don't say that Sima Yiqing has cannons. Even if there is not, Sima Yiqing is very smart. If we send troops to fall into his ambush, it will be a big loss. With the divine cannon in hand, we don't have to worry about them. At worst, we can waste with them. If they come from afar, I don't believe they have brought a lot of food and grass."
The confidant leaned over and replied, "The emperor is planning and winning a thousand miles away. The Si army will definitely return in vain this time."
"More than that!" King Lin said angrily: "I have sent someone to investigate the method of making artillery shells. If I can also build it in Lin State, I will destroy Si State, and Shi State will do the same."
"Yes, yes, the emperor will definitely be able to unify the world!" the confidant replied quickly.
Sima Yiqing retreated for a while, and seeing that Lin Jun didn't take this opportunity to go out of the city to chase him, he sighed in his heart. Lin Jun drove a five hundred cannons and didn't dare to come out. He would have no chance to seize Qidu City.
This time, he failed to defeat Qidu, but instead lost the lives of two or three thousand soldiers. Sima Yiqing was really angry and anxious. He wanted to defeat Qidu and regain his face, but now he was so embarrassed that he was even more embarrassed.
Seeing Sima Yiqing coming back dejectedly, Lu Shengzhong comforted him: "I didn't expect Lin Jun to learn how to use cannons so quickly. Chief of Staff Sima, don't care. With that divine cannon, no one can attack the city."
Sima Yiqing shook his head in pain and replied, "It's all my fault. It's because I lost the cannon to have this situation today. If Qian Xiaoxing comes, I will have the face to see him."
There are 500 Shenwei cannons in Qi Capital. If you want to break Qi, you really have no chance. Lu Shengzhong naturally knew that he had confronted Lin Jun and had a protracted battle. The food and grass on his side could not be supplied in time. Based on the current grain stored and transported grain, it could only last for three months at most.
If he could not break the city for three months, he could only withdraw his troops. Lu Shengzhong said, "Let's wait for the seventh brother here. Since he can create a divine power cannon, he should also know the weakness of the divine power cannon and he will definitely come up with a solution."
Sima Yiqing nodded and said, "I have to do this. Then I will go to the beach to pick him up and I will leave it to you."
"Okay, go and go back quickly." Lu Shengzhong replied.
Sima Yiqing and Sima Chuchu led three thousand cavalry and rushed to the beach. When they arrived at the beach, Qian Xiaoxing was preparing to prepare for the troops to go on the road.
Seeing Sima Yiqing and his daughter coming to pick her up, Qian Xiaoxing said excitedly: "Father-in-law, why are you here Chuchu?"
Sima Yiqing said in shame: "Son-in-law, I am useless. I have caused you a big trouble. Now I am apologizing for you."
"What happened?" Qian Xiaoxing asked hurriedly.
Sima Yiqing told the story of the camp being surrounded, the robbery of the Shenwei cannons, and the subsequent attack by the Lin army cannons, and finally said: "I underestimated King Lin. I didn't expect that he still had some strategy. As the saying goes, be careful of sailing a ten thousand-year-old ship, because I was too careless."
After listening to it, Qian Xiaoxing analyzed it. Although the current situation is very unfavorable to Si Jun, this is not entirely Sima Yiqing's fault. Even if he himself may have hit this trick, Qian Xiaoxing said angrily: "King Lin is really cruel, and his behavior is outrageous!"
"It's OK," Sima Chuchu said very relieved, "I'll have four more!"
"Crazy!" Qian Xiaoxing said again.
"Okay! Four more!"
"Scale!"
"Four more!"
"Chuchu bad guy! I said Chuchu, you were trying me on purpose!" Qian Xiaoxing smiled bitterly, and his anger suddenly eased a lot. Qian Xiaoxing said to Sima Yiqing: "Father-in-law, it doesn't matter if he lost five hundred cannons. Have you seen it? I have asked the soldiers to remove 1,000 cannons from the warship. By then, we have 1,500 cannons, which is more than enough to deal with the 500 cannons of Lin Jun."
After hearing this, Sima Yiqing felt a little relieved, but still blamed herself: "If the cannons were not lost, our Si army would not have killed so many soldiers. Those artillery soldiers rushed into the forest army with their shells and sacrificed themselves to rescue us. They are the best and best soldiers I have ever seen..." Speaking of this, Sima Yiqing couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Yes," Qian Xiaoxing also choked up and said, "They are heroes and role models for our soldiers. I will definitely not let them die in vain!"
Sima Yiqing wiped his eyes and said, "I was not so sad when I died in Hu Country before, and I was not so sad. Son-in-law, if you attack Qidu, I just ask you to minimize the soldiers killed in battle."
"I know, the life of a soldier is more valuable than anyone else." Qian Xiaoxing said seriously.
Qian Xiaoxing's 30,000 troops were ready to go. Lan Sha and his sister were unable to take care of the warship and could not go with Qian Xiaoxing, so they had to come to see him off. These days, Qian Xiaoxing and Lan Lin have a much closer relationship, and they can reach the level of pulling hands and kissing their mouths.
Qian Xiaoxing thought for a while, spread out the map and said, "It's a waste of waiting here. It's better to go north and follow the river into the sea to wait for us. If we destroy Lin State, we will go to Shi State."
Lan Lin doesn’t feel anything with Qian Xiaoxing, and she is really reluctant to part with her. Lan Lin said, “Brother Xing, just take me there. I want to kill King Lin to avenge my parents.”
Qian Xiaoxing shook his head, pointed to a point on the map and said, "This is the northernmost city in Lin Kingdom, right near the river. If you stay here, you will probably meet King Lin."
Lan Lin said in confusion: "You mean King Lin would come here?"
Qian Xiaoxing nodded and said, "Lin State still has more than 200,000 troops. It is difficult for us to completely wipe out it. I guess King Lin has a chance to escape. You are here to stay. It can be regarded as a chess piece I have arranged. It can exert great power at critical moments."
