The First Tyrant of Daxia
Chapter 2465: Running out of gunpowder
Tagrofi also noticed Qin Yun's gaze.
Taro Okita suggested: "Mr. Tagrofi, Mu Le is leading his army to retreat. Now is the perfect time to attack the city. Why not take this opportunity to launch a fierce siege and tire them out! Tire them to death!"
"it is good!"
Tagrofi was overjoyed and waved his hand, "The army will attack the city!"
Under Tagrofei's command, the 200,000-strong army launched a siege without delay, and the city was in turmoil for a while.
Qin Yun had long been on guard against Tagrofi taking advantage of the opportunity to launch a siege, and calmly ordered: "Prepare the artillery! Increase the firepower to defend the city!"
Following Qin Yun's order, three cannons were pushed out directly.
Qin Yun's original intention of this trip was just to scout the terrain of the Bidex Plain to see if it was suitable for becoming a future trade center, so he didn't bring any troops with him, let alone the red cannon.
These two cannons were brought by Mu Le, and the other one was an invincible iron cannon taken from Chi Yun.
In order to march quickly and come back to rescue Qin Yun as soon as possible, Mu Le did not bring many red cannons with him, only four in total.
In addition, he took a few cannons from Chi Yun when he came back, but because of Wilson's interception, Qin Yun could only temporarily abandon two invincible iron cannons, leaving only these six cannons.
There are six cannons, and there is a cannon guarding the other three city gates. The siege force of those three city gates is not that terrifying, and one cannon is enough to guard them.
However, because the East Gate was guarded by an army commanded by Tagrofei, with a total number of 200,000 soldiers, only three cannons could be deployed to guard it. Otherwise, it would be difficult to defend it.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Three consecutive cannon shots were fired directly among the enemy. The horrific explosion lifted up the dirt on the ground. Countless enemy soldiers lost their lives instantly under the cannon attack.
Even if they did not lose their lives, they would be seriously injured under the continued artillery bombardment, and losing limbs would be a normal outcome.
Seeing this, Tagrofi was so angry that his eyes turned red: "This Qin Yun actually has a red cannon, Mr. Okita, what should we do now?"
Okita Taro was much calmer than Tagrofi. He said, "Mr. Tagrofi, don't get excited. I estimate that even if Qin Yun's army has artillery, they can't have too much gunpowder."
"We just need to consume them a little bit. When Qin Yun's gunpowder runs out, his cannon will be equivalent to scrap metal!"
"you're right!"
Tagrofi nodded, and then waved his hand, "Continue the attack!"
Following Tagrofi's order, the enemy continued to attack, like the raging waves on the sea, rushing endlessly towards the main city of Noki.
"beat!"
Qin Yun directed the artillery to fire continuously.
The powerful firepower exploded among the enemy troops on the ground, causing horrific damage in a wide area.
Coupled with the continuous shooting of archers on the city wall, Tagrofei's army failed to break through after all, but suffered a lot of losses.
Night fell quietly and the stars quickly began to twinkle in the sky.
Taro Okita said in a deep voice: "Mr. Tagrofi, it's almost time. After a day of fighting, Qin Yun probably won't have much gunpowder left. Let's attack tomorrow."
"I estimate that Qin Yun's gunpowder will run out in one day at most. Three days later, it will be time for us to attack this city!"
"it is good!"
Tagrofi nodded, "It seems that everything is within Mr. Okita's calculations. Then I will listen to Mr. Okita. Three days later, the city wall will be broken!"
"By then, it will be the end of Qin Yun!"
As if thinking of that scene, Okita Taro burst into laughter, "This time, Qin Yun will definitely die!"
Tagrofi smiled knowingly, "Withdraw!"
Countless enemy troops slowly retreated like a tide in the darkness.
The defenders on the city wall immediately breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that they had escaped death again.
Qin Yun watched Tagrofi lead the army to retreat with a frown on his face.
"His Majesty!"
The commander in charge of commanding the artillery firing whispered, "Your Majesty, we are running out of gunpowder. We can only hold out for one day at most."
Qin Yun was mentally prepared, but he still felt uncomfortable when he heard the artillery commander's words.
Once the suppression of artillery is lost, the enemy's ability to break into the city will increase greatly, and it will likely be difficult to suppress the enemy.
Although this great victory boosted the morale of the defenders in the city, the gap in strength could not be made up by morale and spirit alone.
Qin Yun said in a deep voice: "Don't make this public. Fight as usual tomorrow. Save as much gunpowder as possible."
"Understood!" The artillery commander nodded and retreated.
Mu Le grabbed a fire stick and slowly walked up the city wall. He looked very disheveled. His originally bright armor was covered with blood and many charred spots, which were the result of being burned by flames.
Qin Yun patted Mu Le's shoulder and said, "Ah Le, thank you for your hard work. This big victory may allow us to hold on longer."
Mu Le's smile was a little depressed. "Your Majesty, this is what I should do. It's a pity that I don't have the ability to kill Tagrofi. Otherwise, how could I let him besiege Your Majesty like this?!"
Qin Yun said: "You have done very well. We have limited manpower and weapons, so we can only defend this city. But because of your participation in this battle, the soldiers have gained more confidence. You have done a good job, and there is no need to blame yourself."
After hearing Qin Yun's words, Mu Le's mood barely improved.
It is certainly not a pleasant feeling to watch your soldiers die in the flames that you created.
This is also one of the reasons why Mu Le was in a low mood.
Qin Yun noticed the fire stick in Mu Le's hand and said in a deep voice, "Ah Le, I remember that the spear you carry with you is a weapon passed down from your family, right?"
Mu Le glanced at the fire stick in his hand, with a bitter smile on his face, "Yes, Your Majesty, it's a pity that my ancestral spear was finally burned into a useless fire stick in my hand."
"I, Mu Le, feel ashamed of my ancestors!"
Qin Yun patted his shoulder and said, "You are wrong, Ah Le. You fought bravely. It is because of your brave decision that we will win this battle."
"I think the ancestors of the Mu family will not feel ashamed because of you. On the contrary, they will feel honored because of you. They feel honored to have a descendant like you."
Hearing Qin Yun's words, Mu Le immediately smiled happily, like an innocent child.
