The ugly time is equivalent to around four o'clock in the morning and the full moon hangs westward, which is the darkest time of the day. At this time, people's vigilance is greatly reduced, which is conducive to raids. Ω Biqu    』There are also the residents in the city sleeping soundly, which can reduce the damage to civilians by siege.

"Shoot!" Three blood-red fireworks exploded in the air. Lights suddenly lit up in the city wall of the Song army outside the northern city. After seeing the signal that the siege began, the former commander Huang Xianyao ordered the rocket to be fired.

‘Swoosh, swosh, swosh…’ A firelight immediately rose from the rocket shooting position deployed in the city wall. Nearly a hundred rockets rose into the air with a roar, and the position was also submerged in smoke. Huang Xianyao on the platform watched the fire dragons drew an arc in the air, crossed the high city wall, and then fell down violently, followed by a violent explosion.

"Report to the commander, the rocket covers the predetermined target!" Guantongshu reported on the watchtower, which was as high as seven or eight feet tall.

"Second shooting, the target remains unchanged!" Huang Xianyao ordered again. This time he was ordered by His Majesty to command his headquarters to attack Beicheng, but if he wanted to do something real, he must attract most of the enemy troops guarding the city, cooperate with the central army's main attack in the south city, and be able to break the city with a camera.

To be honest, Huang Xianyao was a little dissatisfied with taking on the secondary attack mission. After all, everyone wanted to make a contribution. But he was still a little nervous. This battle was the first battle since the establishment of the front army. He faced a strong city like Quanzhou. It was the first time he independently commanded a battle in one aspect, so he still had a shortcoming confidence. But this battle not only concerns the honor of the front army, but also the honor of the entire infantry and even the general's official army. He knew that he could only fight well, and he must not let His Majesty down, and he could not let those who doubt the ability of the general's official army attack be laughed at.

"Report to the commander, there will be an enemy going to the city to defend!" Guan Tongshou reported again.

"Let heavy crossbows shoot in groups to destroy the city's defense facilities and suppress the enemy; order the baggage battalion to prepare to build a floating bridge; order the first commander to prepare for attack!" Huang Xianyao observed with a telescope, and then confirmed it and ordered three orders.

"Shoot!" The heavy crossbows set up on the high platform of the city wall also began to shoot after receiving the order. Their targets were towering city towers, lined battle sheds, stone throwers and crossbows arranged on the city, which pose the most threat to the siege.

"Reported to the commander, most of the buildings covered by rockets were destroyed and fires were ignited, and the enemy's casualties were unknown!" Guan Tongshou reported one after another.

"Please observe, confirm the enemy's casualties, and shoot again in a quarter of an hour!" Huang Xianyao pondered for a moment. Because Quanzhou's city has a large population, dense shops and residences, and many Quanzhou soldiers in the army, everyone understands that the rockets that Your Majesty knows are "not accurate", so it is recommended not to use rockets when siegeing the city to prevent accidental injury of civilians. But Your Majesty still insists on using them against the public and promises that everyone will never abuse them. After he finished speaking, everyone had to agree, because the target chosen by Your Majesty was too attractive, and even no one could refuse...

"Enemy attack, enemy attack..." As the first rocket landed, the Yuan army realized that this was definitely not a fake that would only blow up paper pieces a few days ago, but a real guy who killed people and burned houses, so he hurriedly sounded the alarm, but felt something was wrong. They found that the target of the rocket attack was not coming to the city defense, but heading straight to Yacheng.

"Come, come..." After Pu Shougeng visited the city, he felt that the Song army would not choose the darkest time to attack the city. After all, he was seventy years old, and he couldn't stand it after a day of struggle. But at this time, he seemed to be indifferent to returning home, so he found a room in the yamen to rest. Unexpectedly, he was awakened by the loud noises just after being confused. He hurriedly got up and rushed out of the house. The smoke and pungent smell of gunpowder were all over the yard, and nothing was seen except the flash of explosions. He shouted loudly to the guards, but he was tripped.

"What is this?" No one responded, but he was tripped. Pu Shougeng said furiously, reaching out to push the thing that caused him to fall, but touching the sticky thing.

"Bolhum?" Pu Shougen shook his hand in disgust, but smelled the bloody smell. He looked at the ground and saw that it was his own guard leaping on the ground. In shock, he actually jumped up and exclaimed, looking at the yard where his own soldiers were lying everywhere, but he didn't know whether they were dead or alive.

'boom!'

"Oh..." Pu Shougeng immediately panicked. His personal soldiers were all dead in the yard. Did the Song army have already attacked the city? Just as he was thinking about the current situation, another explosion sounded in his ears. A heavy rocket penetrated the roof and exploded indoors. He had no time to scream and was pushed into the yard by the gushing air waves. He knew nothing when he saw it.

"Peace, let me go!" When Pu Shougen woke up again, to be precise, he should have been awakened by pain. He saw that he was pulled by his arms and legs by his personal soldiers, running forward like a dead dog. His old bones were almost dispersed, and he shouted in pain.

"Governor, saving your life is important. You will get out of danger after a moment!"

"Oh, oh, you... are you Shengfu?" Looking at the face of a scattered head and blood-stained face that came over, Pu Shougen, who was humming the song, was startled. He thought he was dragged to hell by a ghost. He suddenly felt that his body was no longer hurt. When he heard the sound, it was Sun Shengfu, his confidant general.

"Yes, governor! The little emperor of the Southern Dynasty was so bad that he actually attacked Yacheng with meteor fire, which almost wiped out Quanzhou's entire army. Fortunately, the governor was safe!" Sun Shengfu said with lingering fear.

"Let me go, otherwise I will die too!" Pu Shougeng couldn't stand it anymore and said almost begging.

"Okay, okay!" Sun Shengfu agreed repeatedly. Seeing that he was already far away from Yacheng, there happened to be a restaurant next to him. He asked someone to smash the door and lift it in.

"How are the others?" Pu Shougeng took two sips of water before he recovered, but he felt that there was nothing that was not painful on his body. But now the matter is urgent, so he could only force himself to ask about things.

"Governor, Yacheng was attacked by two rounds of meteorites, and the house collapsed, and there were heavy casualties. The last general only summoned these dozens of people to save the officials. The situation of the others was not yet clear!" Sun Shengfu reported.
