Are you so confident?" Su Dingfang couldn't help but quietly pull me and say, tomorrow, the power of General Tiance's cannon will be far stronger than you think." I only told Su Dingfang this and walked towards the camp of our army.

All the soldiers had arrived at the camp and were sorting out and setting up camp tents, each of whom was busy. As for Taoist priests such as Yuan Tiangang, a special team had already set up camp tents for them. At present, these famous doctors were busy preparing their own work, but Liushuang was not here. She was on the other side, at the Academy Artillery Corps, and was busy with a group of big men, directing those people to carefully unload the wooden barrels filled with gunpowder and transport gunpowder to a gunpowder storage area specially built of logs without windows and only one main entrance.

Liushuang had already seen me, so she raised her hand and wiped her face: "Mr. Fang, there are several gunpowder barrels that are damaged. Because it is covered with a lot of oil paper and cotton, the gunpowder inside is not wet. However, if you don't deal with it, it will not be used at that time... Why are you always staring at my face?" Liushuang saw me staring at her blankly, and began to frown again, posing as a ill-shaped and evil attitude.

I smiled helplessly, pointed to my face and pointed at Liu Shuang. Her pink cheeks were covered with a dark gray mark by the action of wiping sweat just now. Liu Shuang was stunned and subconsciously wiped her face with her hand. Now, there were fierce marks crossing like two daggers on her pink and tender left face. Well, it can greatly enhance her fierceness, but it makes people feel funny no matter how they look at it.

"This is for you." I took out a scarf and handed it to Liushuang and gestured. Liushuang was shocked and rushed to the side. The group of men looked at this side with a strange smile. Did they see this group of soldiers, Liushuang, this beautiful girl? I widened my eyes and shouted loudly: "What are you doing? Have nothing to do? Why don't you work for me? Let me tell you that tomorrow, our artillery regiment of the Tang Military Academy will be the main force in attacking Xuancheng. At that time, if anyone dares to slack off, it's better not to wait for me to do it, dig a hole and bury myself. Have you heard it clearly?!"

"No! Sir, let's go first tomorrow?" An artillery soldier couldn't help but say. "Well, I've sorted out everything for me today. I understand, let those people take a good look at the majesty of our Tang Dynasty artillery." I loudly encouraged these heroic soldiers that tomorrow will be their first battle.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－-

The sun was shining, and there were only white clouds hanging in the far end of the sky. The open space west of Xuancheng City was covered by the Tang Dynasty soldiers wearing armor and helmets. Countless Tang army battle flags were fluttering in the wind. A high platform was raised in the central military. A blood dragon flag of the Tang Dynasty was fluttering in the wind. Uncle Li Ji stood on the top and looked coldly at the Xuancheng city tower within reach.

The Artillery Regiment of the Tang Military Academy lined up the 100 mortars brought by him at 800 steps in front of the west gate of Xuancheng. The shiny artillery barrels emitted a cold metal light. The artillery soldiers who were waiting to go were each in their positions. In front of them were eight thousand Tang infantry and crossbowmen. As for the cavalry, they were all assigned to both wings and away from the artillery positions. I don’t want the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty to be frightened by the sound of their own artillery to disperse on all sides.

Fifty meters behind the mortar position are five artillery different from the mortar. The cannon alone weighs a thousand kilograms, so they are real artillery. The charge amount, range, and the power of the shells are several times that of the mortar. The same risk of using this kind of cannon is very high. But Liushuang is standing in front of the cannon in the middle, guiding the gunners to carry out the final cleaning work.

Looking at the graceful figure busy, I was a little worried, but this was the battlefield, not the back garden of my house, so I could only force myself to look away. I stood in front of the artillery position, raised my telescope and looked at the city tower at the top of the city. There were many Goguryeo generals gathered there, pointing nervously towards this side, and from time to time, there were command soldiers to run down the city tower with flags. It seemed that these guys were very nervous and didn't understand what the Tang army wanted to do?

My colleagues from the academy are patrolling their work. Today, I do not intend to use any secret weapon except artillery. I believe that with these assembled artillery, as long as there is sufficient ammunition, I will definitely be able to easily destroy Xuancheng.

Behind me, Xi Junmai, Duan Yunsong and Xue Rengui, each of them has the potential to become a famous general. At least the three people in the front have the best development prospects. As for Li Yexu and his six uncles, I dare not hold too much hope.

"Sir, when will the attack be launched? Should the Mo Zheng Shilling Army go to war? We have wasted a lot of time. If there is no action, I will be afraid that others will think that the soldiers in our academy will be afraid of fighting." Li Yexu's request for the war

Gao, as the saying goes, the morale of the army is available. I nodded and smiled gently. "Emperor Li!"

Li Yexu happily raised his eyebrows and held his chest and fist and agreed loudly: "The last one is here." Seeing that the generals next to him were itchy, they seemed to regret that they didn't ask for the battle just now and could not get the final result.

However, Li Yexu was completely stunned when I said that the following words, and the guys above who had regretted it just now almost burst out laughing.

"General Duan, give me the microphone." I stretched out my hand to Duan Yunsong, and Duan Yunsong immediately handed the exaggerated copper call microphone into my hands.

"I will ask you to take this, go up and call, tell the Goguryeo people in Xuancheng, and let them surrender immediately within a stick of incense! Otherwise, they would all be broken into pieces by the general on the city tower! Why are you glaring at me? Why don't you go quickly?" I glared back at Li Yexu who was staring at me blankly.

"No, sir, you asked me to go by myself? You are still holding such a thing..." Li Yexu said with a resentful look on his face.

I said seriously: "Stop talking nonsense, why don't you go quickly, don't shout this thing. Could it be that you want to walk under the city wall and get the other party's arrow? You don't have to shout for a long time, just shout ten words! However, you must let the people on the city tower hear it." My tone had no room for negotiation, and Li Yexu could only take the order helplessly, and rode a horse with a loudspeaker and ran towards the city wall.

"I said my sister-in-law, oh no, Lord Fang, can it be useful to shout like this? Not to mention Goguryeo, we don't even believe it." Cheng Chuliang squeezed over and said in confusion. He definitely didn't believe that I would just climb up to Xuancheng Tower to perform the life-split living person.

"It would be strange if they believe it. I just hope they will stay in the city gate building and wait for death." I smiled proudly. This is a psychological warfare. They must be curious about who speaks so wildly, so they will stay obediently until the moment our cannons roar, but by then, it would be too late for them to run away.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－-

Because the Tang Dynasty lined up the military formation so far, in terms of current equipment production level, no long-range weapon has a range of thousands of steps away. Unfortunately, I have it.

Li Yexu's shouting caused ridicule from Goguryeo people. He welcomed me with a angrily expression of gloating and sent me to pay the order. "Yes, Li Duwei can tolerate what ordinary people cannot tolerate, and is a good general. After a while of shelling, look at my order flag, you will become the first Tang general to step into the head of Xuancheng." Now, Li Yexu finally forgot all the unhappiness just now. After receiving the order proudly, he quickly ran to his own team to prepare for the attack for a while.

Duan Yunsong reminded me: "Sir, all artillery has been in place, please give an order."

"Very good. All the first three guns aimed at the city tower, and at one point used grenades. The fourth gun started, all of them used solid bullets, and three consecutive shots were fired to solve the city gates of Xuancheng. Yunsong, whether my Tang Dynasty artillery was powerful or not, this is the first move." I advised Duan Yunsong very solemnly.

The green volleyball flag waved from my hand, and all the cannons immediately began to calculate the ballistics, adjust the firing distance, load gunpowder, and load shells. Except for the busy artillery positions, the entire open land was silent. Everyone, including the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, looked at this area, as if they wanted to understand what was going to happen. When the red volleyball flag was raised from my hand, a small red flag was raised from each artillery position in response.

I looked at them and waved the flag in my hand hard. At this moment, I suddenly felt all the sounds and heartbeats disappear from my will. The roars from more than a hundred artillery even made me feel that the sky was trembling. The artillery positions seemed to be swallowed by white smoke in the blink of an eye. Next, the harsh whistling sound finally made me hear the sound again. Smoke and fire rose from the gate of Xuancheng's city tower. Flames soared into the sky, and all kinds of debris were flying all over the sky. Thick black smoke rose into the sky. The loud explosion sounded in correspondence with a hell yell of blood and fire.

The six rounds of artillery bombardment were just a cup of tea, which made people who were nervous and afraid of the power of this unknown weapon seem to have been going through a year. Most of them were stunned to see the artillery position where the thick smoke was gradually blown away. The artillery soldiers on the position, which were slightly scattered by the smoke, seemed to be a terrible monster in their eyes.
