The white porridge and pickled mustard is enough, why am I wearing a royal robe?

Chapter 184 How could this be?

The feeling of life and death is depressing.

Countless times I have seen scarecrows turn into pieces under the power of the divine weapons, but nothing like this time saw the scenes of human lives being taken away by the divine weapons.

The surrounding crossbowmen and city guards all shouted excitedly when they saw it.

"Long live the Kitchen King! The divine weapons are invincible!"

"Long live the Kitchen King! The divine weapons are invincible!"

With such magical soldiers here, there's no harm in having thousands of troops!

Just kill him!

"Tu Tu Tu!"

The Maxim machine guns were spitting out tongues of fire, and the twelve Maxim machine guns were harvesting the lives of these Ming soldiers every minute and every second.

Chen Qiyu knew about such magical weapons as the Kitchen King.

He has already sent out the death row prisoners. Right now, the people whose lives are being harvested by the Kitchen King's magic weapons should be those death row prisoners who deserve to die.

This is exactly what happened. In the direction of his main attack, the death row prisoners rushed forward with fear on their faces.

There is nothing you can do if you don't rush. The people behind you have their spearheads clearly visible. If you stop, they will be dead. If you rush forward, you may not only survive, but there may also be glory and wealth waiting for them.

The death row inmates in the front row fell to the ground like wheat, while the people in the back rushed forward with their heads down without knowing it.

The situation was excellent, and Chen Qiyu had a smile on his face. His death row plan was still feasible. Although it failed while defending the city, Chen Qiyu already knew why it failed.

Kitchen King's long-range siege weapon was extremely accurate in sniping, and he could select people to kill. Therefore, when defending the city, the death row plan failed.

However, it is different when attacking. The magic weapons used by Kitchen King for defense cannot distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, and they are extremely imprecise.

Therefore, the death row prisoner can play the greatest role. Even if the Kitchen King wants to avoid it, there is no way. The main attack pressure here is the greatest. It is impossible for the Kitchen King to mobilize the magic soldiers in other directions, unless the Kitchen King has more than one magic weapon. .

But how is it possible? If the Kitchen King had more than one magic weapon, he should have taken it out long ago. The Kitchen King didn't see him using it when he was defending the city.

Moreover, such magical weapons are just cabbage on the roadside.

Chen Qiyu thought so.

"Report!"

Just when Chen Qiyu felt that the situation was looking good, soldiers from the other three directions came to him one after another and reported the news from the front line.

"Tell me one by one," Chen Qiyu looked at these soldiers. His eyes moved slightly. Could it be that they were climbing to the top of the city from other directions?

The main force of the Kitchen King and even the magic soldiers that determine the outcome are in this direction. With the Kitchen King's manpower, the number of people spread on other city walls may not exceed 2,000, while the other armies are at least 15,000. Thousands of people would have a huge advantage in fighting. Therefore, Chen Qiyu believed that the good news should have come from other directions.

Which side is it, Heshan? Huchuan?

He must write to the emperor to commend him.

"Reporting to the governor, the Kitchen King's magic weapon has been discovered in the north of the city! Our soldiers advanced bravely but are still invincible! We have already lost more than 500 people before we even get 500 steps closer to the city!"

Chen Qiyu's heart trembled. Before he got even five hundred steps closer, it was only one mile away. Five hundred people were already dead?

He knew that the Kitchen King's magic weapon was powerful, but how far did the Kitchen King's magic weapon have such a long range?

Moreover, isn't the Kitchen King's magic weapon right in the front? The churning sound hasn't stopped yet, so why are it coming from other directions too!

"Where are you two? Tell me!"

He turned to look at the two people in other directions, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, but another voice told Chen Qiyu that it was impossible, impossible, the Kitchen King couldn't have magic weapons in four directions.

One in one direction, that’s four!

"Governor Qi, the situation in our direction is also the same!"

The two said at the same time.

The situation in their direction was also the same. There was a sudden sound coming from the top of the city, and their robes fell down like wheat.

They didn't even get a clear look at the soldiers on the other side's wall, and their comrades died just like that.

The speed of death was unprecedented in their lives. This Kitchen King was truly terrifying.

"This"

Chen Qiyu stammered and was speechless. He really didn't expect such a situation.

Who knew that Kitchen King had so many magical weapons, and the most important thing was that Kitchen King had the ability to clone himself, so he could use every magical weapon?

Their subordinates can also use magic weapons easily. Shouldn't the more powerful the weapon, the more stringent the conditions for its use?

Why does this happen.

This is also to blame for Chongzhen, who hid some information. Except for people within the court, no one knew that Emperor Chongzhen had a son placed next to the Stove King.

Obtained a lot of information about Kitchen King, about how divine weapons can be used by mortals.

If Chen Qiyu knew about it, he would probably change his strategy.

"Continue to attack the city! Continue! Don't be afraid!"

Chen Qiyu's eyes were red. Success or failure now depends on this, an army of more than 60,000 to 70,000 people!

Even if you use corpses, you still have to spread them forward!

"The Stove King's weapons won't last long! Just like the crossbows, they will be used up soon!"

This sentence is what Chen Qiyu said to comfort his soldiers. No one knows what the Kitchen King's magic weapon is, and it can be so powerful.

Is it like a firecracker that needs to be loaded? Is it like a bow and arrow that will wear out after being used for a period of time?

But he was fooled.

Although the Maxim machine gun is powerful, it needs to be reloaded, and the barrel will overheat.

Although there is a water-cooling system, filling it with water takes time, and it cannot be water-cooled all the time. The barrel has a lifespan.

When the life span reaches the limit, although it can still be used, the accuracy and shooting distance will be greatly affected.

"Yes!"

What the three messengers could say, they could only bite the bullet and take the news back.

I just hope that what the Governor said is true.

Qiu Zhaolin was no longer as calm as before. He listened to the news from the front with a livid face, and he could vaguely see something from his position.

His soldiers, the elite soldiers he brought from Henan, had already lost countless soldiers before they even got close to the city gate.

Governor Chen said that the Kitchen King's main forces are on the front, so why is there such a powerful thing on the side?

What on earth is that thing?

Although Qiu Zhaolin didn't know what the Kitchen King's magic weapon was, he knew that it was the legendary magic weapon that killed his soldiers.

It was also the first time for Geng Zhangguang and Geng Ruxi to see the Stove King's magic weapon in action.

The father and son looked at each other and saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes. The Kitchen King was too powerful.

How long has passed only now, the battle report from the front shows that nearly 600 people have died.

Six hundred people! The Kitchen King hasn't even left the city yet!

Not even the Kitchen King's soldiers were seen.

At this speed of death, it is unimaginable how many people would have died when they rushed to the city gate!

I'm afraid it's no less than three thousand.

"Sir Governor! The Governor has orders, keep charging! Don't stop! The Stove King's magic soldiers are lacking and we won't be able to hold on for long!"

The soldiers who went to report on the frontal battlefield brought the news back.

Qiu Zhaolin's expression changed, but nothing was perfect, so maybe what the Governor said was true.

How could the Kitchen King's magic weapon not have any shortcomings at all?

"Charge! Keep charging! Seize the city!"

Qiu Zhaolin gritted his teeth and said, he didn't know how many years he had not seen someone attack the city with such grit.

It is rarely mentioned even in military books.

Generally speaking, when attacking a city, you either encircle it without attacking it, so that it will be defeated without a fight, or you force it to leave the city to fight the enemy. Except for those Liao people at the border, few soldiers and horses will do this and attack forcefully.

Attacking with such heavy casualties.

It is a great test for the morale of soldiers.

Escape can easily occur.

But now the Governor has given the order.

The only way to go is to attack the city.

I just hope that after paying a huge price, I can win the city.

"kill!"

On the frontal battlefield, the death row prisoners were already red-eyed, too many people had died.

As soon as their breath came out, someone died. The soil beneath his feet was already soaked in blood and mud.

When you step on it, there will be blood and mud.

There were even some pieces of fried flesh and blood mixed in.

There were originally more than a thousand prisoners on death row, but now more than half were dead.

The number of deaths is still increasing.

However, they kept getting closer to the city wall.

Climbing the city wall means a glimmer of hope. It is not a city wall, but a dragon gate!

Turn over and you will live and become a dragon in one leap!

"kill!"

Although the prisoners on death row are unarmed, they are brave and fearless of death.

However, being brave and fearless in the face of absolute strength is of little use.

The prisoners on death row rushed forward almost with their eyes closed.

"Turn the muzzle and shoot at the enemy."

Liu Zhenhua issued the order.

These death row prisoners have already entered the shooting range of the fire cannons, and further forward are the shooting range of the crossbows. There is no need to waste bullets on these people.

Some death row prisoners only felt their scalps being rubbed by something, and their heads felt a little cold when they touched them. They didn't have time to think too much and continued to rush towards the city wall.

Some of the death row prisoners looked around, and were suddenly pleased to find that none of the temporary comrades around them seemed to be dead anymore.

Their faces immediately showed joy. Sure enough, they were right to move forward.

Only by rushing forward can there be a chance of survival.

Before I could think too much, there were other sounds in the distance.

Blood spurts suddenly appeared on some of the death row prisoners who rushed forward.

The power of the fire gun was not great at this distance, and it could not even kill anyone.

But it is enough to make people fall to the ground injured.

After falling to the ground injured, he faced the stampede of countless people.

In that case, it would be better to die directly.

The infantry soldiers further back suffered a devastating blow.

Rows of soldiers died.

"Shieldhand! Shieldhand!"

The Centurion and the Centurion quickly commanded.

Rows of infantrymen took out their shields and formed a shield formation.

These shield formations are strong enough to withstand crossbow fire, and even long-range fire blunderbuss fire!

Under the shields, the soldiers' faces were a little nervous, as were the soldiers behind them, but their hearts were somewhat relaxed.

After all, these sturdy shields had saved their lives in countless battles.

However, the next second.

The bullet carried a fatal power and hit the shield instantly.

The seemingly solid shield was torn apart instantly after the bullet hit.

The bullets shot towards the chests of the soldiers without losing their power. In an instant, a row of soldiers fell to the ground, wailing and screaming.

The captains looked astonished, and their shields looked like paper.

This Kitchen King's magic weapon is really powerful.

"Hurry, hurry, rush if you don't want to die!"

The captains have a certain understanding of the battlefield situation.

He knew that the longer he stayed outside the city, the more people would die.

The soldiers charged forward desperately.

Finally, we arrived two hundred steps in front of the city. Almost all the prisoners on death row in front were dead or injured, and only a few dozen people were left approaching the base of the city wall.

Because these death row prisoners did not have any weapons or siege equipment.

Although they are now at the base of the city wall, they can only curse at the top of the city wall. Everyone is smashing their fists against the city wall.

On top of the city, Liu Zhenhua took his eyes away from the sniper scope and glanced down at the city. The prisoners on death row could only be helpless and furious.

"Get some crossbowmen and kill them."

These death row prisoners pose no threat to the city, but if follow-up troops arrive, these death row prisoners will become part of the siege army.

"Swish swish."

The arrows instantly penetrated these people's bodies.

There was a sudden scream in the city.

In the distance, soldiers were already approaching a hundred steps in front of the city.

"Ten thousand enemies are ready!"

Liu Zhenhua also knew that the situation in other directions was much better than here. After all, there were only a limited number of prisoners on death row in the Ming Dynasty.

It was impossible to mobilize so many dead soldiers to charge.

Liu Zhenhua sighed in his heart. When the three Maxim machine guns barely stopped, the barrels of the guns were sizzling with smoke.

There are already more than ten bullets fired.

More than two thousand people were killed.

Almost every two bullets kill one person.

This is an extremely scary number.

This situation would not have existed in other battlefields of World War I and World War II.

The main reason is that the ancient military formations were too dense.

There were almost 20,000 people on the frontal battlefield, and only one tenth died.

It has not yet reached the level of defeating the opponent.

The current battle in front of the city is a fierce battle.

However, the defenders on the city wall were not afraid at all. Six to seven thousand people were estimated to have died in the four directions of the opponent.

And they didn't even lose a hair on their body.

Since ancient times, who has ever heard that war can be fought like this?

Kill the enemy with a devastating blow from hundreds of steps away.

It is difficult for them to realize this, just like all countries did not believe that the Eagle Sea War could be fought in more than forty days with an exaggerated battle loss ratio.

Even more so.

The soldiers in front of the city were under tremendous pressure.

The people around him were dying in a tragic way every minute, but fortunately, they were about to start climbing the city!

The merit of getting there first is right in front of you.

"Spread out a little, spread out a little!"

The captains shouted, many people had been killed now, and they could finally arrange themselves.

There was a person about four or five steps away.

The governor had warned them to spread out as much as possible on the way to the siege and after approaching the city wall.

After approaching the city wall, you will face the threat of ten thousand enemies.

While shouting, fire was scattered above the head, and the flames flew like catkins, bringing with it a sense of beauty of death.
