Just when the morale of the Sui Army was soaring outside the city, the officers and soldiers of the Zheng Army on the top of the Eastern Capital fell into panic at this time.
These soldiers of the Zheng army, like those of the Sui army, had never seen this kind of weapon.
In their eyes, this is really a power that only gods can control!
People can fight with gods, that's not courting death!
At this moment, the soldiers in Zheng Jun were all timid and their morale collapsed.
It's a one shot!
With the firing of the first mortar, the outcome of this battle in Dongdu was basically doomed.
The morale of the Sui army soared, and the soldiers were crazy. Under the ebb and flow, the soldiers of the Zheng army were timid, and the soldiers wanted to run for their lives.
How will Zheng Jun fight this battle!
Even if Xu Feng didn't have follow-up mortar shells, the chances of the Sui army attacking the city and breaking the city were very high.
Of course, in that case, the Sui army would probably have to pay a huge price.
After all, this cannon may frighten those Zheng soldiers, but Wang Shichong will never give up easily.

After all, those ordinary Zheng soldiers could surrender and still have a chance to survive.
However, he, Wang Shichong, did not have this chance. Once the Sui army broke through the city, he would definitely die.
Therefore, no matter whether Xu Feng is really blessed by the gods or not, Wang Shichong will fight desperately to save himself a way out.
However, at this time, Wang Shichong's heart was really cool.
"Why, why is this happening.
God, you are really unfair, why did you choose that stupid king, I am worse than him! "
Wang Shichong raised his head to the sky and roared angrily, the veins on his face popped out.
Whoosh whoosh!
At this time, the archers of the Sui army outside the city suddenly shot a rain of arrows.
It's just that the arrowheads shot by the Sui army's archers this time are different.
On each arrow, there is a letter tied to it, which is the imperial decree written by Xu Feng.
Xu Feng told the officers and men of the Zheng army in the city that as long as they were willing to face the battle at this time, they would not be held accountable for their crimes after he broke through the city.
Even, they have the opportunity to join the Sui army, and they will be rich and prosperous, high-ranking officials and generous salary, just around the corner.
Xu Feng was playing psychological warfare with Wang Shichong, and the timing was just right, just after the mortar was fired, when the soldiers of the Zheng army were frightened.
Soon, many Zheng Jun soldiers in the city found the letters on these arrows and opened them to read.
After reading it, many Zheng Jun generals were actually a little shaken in their hearts, but they didn't dare to act immediately.
After all, all the Zheng soldiers who could be placed by Wang Shichong on the south gate are all direct descendants of Wang Shichong. It is not easy to make them rebel.
In the past, if Xu Feng let the archers shoot in this letter of surrender, it would have no effect at all.
But now, not necessarily.
"Your Majesty, look."
Soon, Duan Da also got a letter, his face changed drastically after reading it, and he hurriedly showed it to Wang Shichong.
"Yang Guang!"
After Wang Shichong finished reading, he gritted his teeth and roared, hating Xu Feng to death.
"Your Majesty, this strategy is too vicious, what should we do now?"
Duan Da also said worriedly, he can see that Xu Feng is not only trying to kill, but also punishing his heart!
"Duan Da, take the guards and collect all the letters of surrender sent by the Sui army into the city. Anyone who dares to hide them will be killed without mercy!"
At this time, Wang Shichong was like a tiger that chooses and eats people, and gave an order.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it now,"
Duan Da was still loyal to Wang Shichong, so he agreed.
Soon, Duan Da received a lot of surrender letters, but he couldn't guarantee whether he kept them privately.
After all, even if someone really hid it privately, he couldn't possibly know about it.
"Hey! I didn't expect that stupid emperor Yang Guang to have such a method. Now he's in trouble."
Duan Da sighed, feeling bad in his heart, he didn't expect the situation to turn around so quickly.
Yesterday, the Zheng army still had the upper hand, and the possibility of the Sui army breaking the city was already slim.
But I didn't expect that when the Sui army came today, there would be such a commotion, which directly reversed the situation in an instant.
Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even Duan Da was in a panic at this time.
He didn't think the mortars outside the city were magical weapons. He guessed that they might be some terrible new weapons made by the Sui army.
But thinking so, he couldn't convince himself.
After all, he couldn't think of how manpower could create such a terrifying weapon.
"Is it really wrong for His Majesty to rebel against us?"
In the end, Duan Da couldn't help thinking of this thought.
In the final analysis, whether it is an ordinary soldier of Zheng Jun or a senior general of Zheng Jun like Duan Da, his vision and thinking are limited by this era.
At this time, if Xu Feng used this kind of mortar to attack the city after hundreds of years, it would definitely not have this effect.
"Duan Da, come here."
Soon, Wang Shichong found Duan Da again and whispered a few words to him.
Immediately, Duan Da's eyes lit up, he looked at Wang Shichong and said, "Your Majesty, your move is brilliant! I will do it now."
Immediately, Duan Da gathered a group of his most reliable cronies, and began to run to the south gate. Sergeant Zheng suffered a stroke and shouted loudly: "Yang Guang, the faint king, is cruel and heartless. He listens to the way of demons and uses demon methods. Sooner or later he will be punished by heaven." of.
Soldiers, let's persevere, victory already belongs to us, God will not let the faint king Yang Guang go. "
Wang Shichong also played psychological warfare with Xu Feng, slandering Xu Feng for using demonic methods, in order to stabilize Zheng Jun's morale.
I have to say, it's quite effective.
Gradually, the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Zheng army who closed the Nancheng Pass in the eastern capital, after hearing the words conveyed by Wang Shichong, many of them breathed a sigh of relief.
What these ordinary soldiers are most worried about is that they themselves are villains.
"Your Majesty, one test shot is over."
Outside the city, Zhou Qing came to Xu Feng again to report.
"Zhou Qing, it's up to you artillerymen.
Take the cannon you shot just now as a circle, and the task of your artillerymen is to aim all ten mortars at that place.
You have to be precise, before the mortar shells are exhausted, you have to blast down the wall of the Eastern Capital for me, understand? "
Xu Feng said to Zhou Qing with an indifferent expression and a cold figure.
"Yes, Your Majesty, just watch it, we will definitely smash the city wall of the Eastern Capital."
At this time, Zhou Qing was also flustered with excitement, and said while kneeling on one knee.
Next, the fifty Sui army gunners began to fire like the first group of artillery as an example, and also started their first bombardment.
"Ready, fire!"
"put!"
Following Zhou Qing's order.
Ten groups of mortar gunners immediately ignited their loaded Shimen to break the mortar.
boom!Boom!
The ten breaching mortars fired one by one, making deafening noises again, each sound was like thunder, and the momentum was huge.
Then, huge black iron balls appeared in the sky and smashed down towards the west side of Dingdingmen in the Eastern Capital City.
Bang bang bang!
A moment later, these solid iron balls slammed into the south wall of the Eastern Capital, making a lot of noise.
The whole city was shaken, and it was shocked by ten solid shells.
In the first salvo of the Sui army's mortars, all ten shells successfully hit the southern city wall of the Eastern Capital, and all of them hit about the same location.
The city walls in this small area to the west of Ding Ding are all cracked, and the strong and tall city walls of the Eastern Capital have become like spider webs.
"Come again!"
On Zhou Qing's side, when he saw that the mortar shells fired in the first salvo all hit the city wall of the Eastern Capital, he also nodded with a smile.
"Ready to shoot, light the fire!"
Boom boom boom!
Soon, there was another series of bombardments, and the siege mortars were fully fired.
The southern city wall of the Eastern Capital was very strong, but facing the violent bombardment of such a large-caliber mortar, every mortar that hit the city wall caused an extra crack in the city wall.
"Continue to bombard and fire!"
Zhou Qing's artillerymen of the Sui Army happily ordered to fire, blasting out mortar shells one after another quickly.
The artillerymen of the Sui army fired excitedly, and the soldiers of the Zheng army defending the city were suffering like hell.
Especially the soldiers of the Zheng army in the Dingdingmen area had already run away one by one. No matter how the generals of the Zheng army shouted to stop them, it was useless.
Just kidding, those solid iron bullets that were bigger than footballs hit them one after another, and some of them hit the top of the city wall. Who wouldn't be afraid of that?
"It's over, it's over!"
At this time, Wang Shichong was also desperate.
Originally, as soon as the Sui army fired mortar shells before, Zheng Jun's army was already in a state of confusion.
Wang Shichong finally got an idea and came up with a set of rhetoric, which barely stabilized the morale of Zheng Jun's soldiers.
But now, Wang Shichong knows that everything is for nothing.
No matter how sweet his words are, they can't match the loud noise of the Sui army outside the city, it's shocking!
The morale of the generals of the Zheng army on the south gate of the eastern capital has completely collapsed. Just by looking at their cowering and terrified faces, you can tell.
"Duan Da, follow me!"
Wang Shichong said in a low voice to his confidant and beloved general.
At this time, Wang Shichong was ready to run away, and Dongdu couldn't hold on anymore.
Boom!
When the siege mortars of the Sui Army outside the city rang No. 60 for seven times, with a loud bang, a short section of the southern city wall of Dongdu was finally blasted down.
A small section of the city wall to the west of Dingding Gate was knocked down, and a gap about two or three meters wide appeared on the city wall.
"Stop shooting, Dian Wei, Li Cunxiao, Sun Zhong! It's your turn.
Let me kill you into the city, and capture Wang Shichong, that rebellious minister and thief alive. "
After Xu Feng saw that the city wall of the Eastern Capital was blown down by mortars, he gave an order to Dian Wei, Li Cunxiao and Sun Zhong who had been waiting by his side.
"Haha, I can't wait a long time ago, brothers, come with me!"
Dian Wei shouted excitedly and rushed out first.
"Your Majesty, my minister has gone." Li Cunxiao rushed out after him.
"Long live Your Majesty, the destiny belongs to you, punish all the rebellious officials and thieves, kill!"
"Kill!"
