LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 49
49: Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked. If we had this conscienceless cannon, we would have driven out the Mongols long ago!
The reason why the conscienceless cannon is called the conscienceless cannon is because the size of the barrel mouth of this weapon, which is used as a gun mount, determines the caliber of its ammunition!
The barrels used by Zhu Gaoyi’s Imperial Guards are specially made, and the barrel mouth is larger than the millstone!
From this, we can know how terrible the noise will be when the conscienceless cannon is ignited and fired.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di’s heads are still buzzing at this time…….Just now, when Zhu Gaoxun shouted to fire, there was a dull sound on the city wall, and then it exploded like thunder.
The mountains and forests were shaking, and the earth was trembling.
Even in broad daylight, the dazzling light was still clearly visible.
Black smoke rose from where the bomb landed.
Below, the attacking bandits even stopped because of this thing!
The army stopped!
Because everyone was scared by you, the huge sound made them suspect that this was thunder from the sky, punishing them. The red cannons they had seen in the past did not make such a terrifying and breathtaking movement…
When the black smoke dissipated, both the people on the city and the people below were completely dumbfounded.
The people at the center of the explosion were directly melted and turned into a pool of broken limbs. Around them
, there were a large number of soldiers and horses who died quietly.
There was no visible wound on them, but these people were bleeding from all seven orifices!
Such a horrible scene made the people of Li Zicheng’s army feel terrified.
What people fear the most has always been the unknown – because the unknown often represents danger and unpredictability!
“”Hiss!” Li Zicheng took a breath of cold air, his scalp tingling,”What is this! ?”
“Thunder from the sky! The Ming Dynasty is blessed by thunder from the sky!”
As soon as Li Zicheng finished speaking, the general beside him shouted loudly.
When Li Zicheng heard the words, his face changed drastically, and he immediately shouted:”Bullshit thunder from the sky! This is all a trick of the defenders on the city! Not surprising!”
“This man is disturbing our army’s morale. Drag him down and execute him! Continue the attack!!”
As Li Zicheng issued the order, the drums in the army sounded again, and the army advanced again.
However, these advances were frightened by the terrifying thunder, and Li Zicheng’s army actually felt a little timid.
“Where is the governor?”
Li Zicheng’s heart sank when he saw this scene. He couldn’t retreat. If he retreated, he would be defeated and there would be no chance of recovery!
“My king, I am here!”
“Anyone who dares to retreat will be beheaded!”
“Yes sir!”
“Tell the soldiers and generals, once you capture Shuntian Prefecture, don’t put down your weapons for three days! You can rob any property you want!”
“My king! No!……”Niu Jinxing was very anxious and said hurriedly:”If we massacre the city, there will be no hope for the world!”
“I have my own plans, Ju Ming, no need to say more.”
Hearing this, Niu Jinxing could only retreat in dismay, not daring to say anything more.
He naturally knew why Li Zicheng said he would not put down his sword, because at this time the army’s momentum had been blocked, and if there was no stimulation, there would be no hope of attacking the city.
And if the army was withdrawn, the enemy would surely pursue, and the army’s morale would be in chaos! In the final analysis, it was because the army spread too fast and the pit left behind was too big, and Li Zicheng did not have enough control over the army.
If it was a hundred-trained elite army, there would be no need for such means, and a direct order to attack the city would be enough.
On the city wall, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were holding Zhu Gaoxun and questioning him.
And next to them were the shocked and numb soldiers of the Yongle Dynasty. If such a terrifying weapon was bombarded on them and others, what a terrifying scene it would be?
“Gao Xun! Why are you so calm? It turns out you have such a powerful weapon!”
Zhu Yuan looked at Zhu Gao Xun with burning eyes and said with a smile:”You don’t have any backup plan, do you?”
The movement just now really shocked Zhu Yuanzhang.
If he had such a weapon, he would have cleared out the remnants of the Mongols long ago!
Fortunately,……The owner of this weapon is his grandson. When the group mission reward arrives, he will exchange this powerful weapon with his grandson!
At this time, Zhu Di is already imagining his second expedition, sweeping across the desert with the group storage space and this powerful weapon!
Fenglangjuxu is what I wish for.
At this time, Zhu Di has temporarily suppressed the doubts about how Zhu Gaoxun came to power, and his heart is full of desire for the conscienceless cannon.
“Grandpa Emperor really has a sharp vision.” Zhu Gaoxun smiled faintly and said,”Li Zicheng claims to have an army of 500,000. How can the conscienceless cannon alone be enough?”
“Very good!”
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled widely, his mouth was almost cracked with laughter, but in his heart he was thinking about the words Zhu Gaoxun said.
“No conscience……This shell was so powerful that it shook the earth and the dead were in a miserable state. Isn’t it just heartless?……”
“What a conscienceless cannon! It’s not domineering at all!”Zhu Di immediately retorted:”Why not call it Flying Thunder God! This cannon is like the Thunder God descending to the world, wiping out evil, it is a good thing, so it naturally needs a good name.”
“Just as my father wished, let’s call him Flying Thunder God.”
“You are a smart kid…….”
“Get out of here!”
Before Zhu Di could finish his words, Zhu Yuanzhang kicked him and said,”Are you teaching our good grandson how to do things? Go and guard your city wall. Don’t you see the thieves are coming again?”
“I’ll go right away.” Zhu Di touched his buttocks in grievance and complained,”Dad, you are too partial…….”
“If you have Gao Xun’s ability and filial piety, I will also be partial to you. Why don’t you get out of here!”
“”Okay.”
The Yongle soldiers on the side saw this scene, their eyes looked at their noses, their noses looked at their hearts, and they pretended not to see this scene.
It was really strange that the Yongle Emperor, who was the only one in the world, was like a rabbit in front of Taizu.
“What are you looking at?”
Zhu Di returned to the soldiers and shouted,”Kill them all mercilessly. Don’t let a single thief go.””
Zhu Di was very angry and determined to vent his anger on Li Zicheng’s troops.
However, before he could make a move, the scene suddenly changed.
The scene that happened next directly overturned the cognition of the people present!
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Youjian on the side were completely numb. Is this the backhand? This is clearly the hell in the world! What was presented to everyone was still an explosion, but this explosion was different from the previous one.
Everyone saw that the ground in the distance was lifted up by the huge power, and Li Zicheng’s troops were directly flying and riding.
Because Li Zicheng promised that the soldiers who had just raised the desire to attack stopped in their steps and looked at the general’s central army behind them. The place where the explosion occurred was where Li Zicheng was!
At this moment, Li Zicheng’s central army had completely collapsed.
It had to collapse, because at this moment, most of the soldiers in the central army were actually burning with flames!
The flames could not be extinguished by soil or water, and they were still burning while rolling on the ground.
The soldiers entangled in the flames could only scream miserably, and finally struggled silently, and the whole person was burned to bones…….
All Li Zicheng’s troops were dumbfounded by such a horrifying scene, and some even knelt down and begged for mercy,”This is the fire of hell! We attacked the Ming Dynasty, and the underworld came to punish us!”
There was the first one, and then there was the second one. In this hellish scene, Li Zicheng’s soldiers put down their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy.
It was not because they did not dare to fight, but because this method was too horrible and too horrifying.
In the Ming Dynasty at that time, this method was no different from that of an immortal. (To read the violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
“That is……”My king! My king is entangled by the ghost fire! Surrender quickly, or you will die!” A sharp-eyed soldier saw that Li Zicheng was accidentally contaminated by the fixed flame, and then the blue-white flame burned on his body like a ulcer attached to his bones!
No matter how Li Zicheng struggled, no matter how the soldiers beside him forced him, the flame could not be extinguished.
In the end, the soldiers watched their King Chuang turned into black bones.
On the battlefield, the smell of cooked bones and flesh, accompanied by gunpowder smoke, filled the air everywhere.[]
These subordinates of Li Zicheng were also experienced in many battles, but when they smelled the smell, they had a physiological reaction and vomited one after another.
It was not for any other reason, but because the previous scene was too horrible and too shocking.
And the King of Chuang, who they thought was invincible, was actually burned to death by the ghost fire!
Niu Jinxing stood there, not daring to move an inch……Maybe he was lucky, the flames did not reach him.
But at this moment, Niu Jinxing was completely dumbfounded. He had never seen such a horrific scene.
One after another, people were burned to death in front of him.
The shock was beyond description.
At this moment, Niu Jinxing was filled with regret. When he knew that other emperors had come to Shuntian Prefecture, he should have inquired about it honestly.
Now the whole army was destroyed, and he became a sinner for all eternity…….Where are those who agreed to cooperate with the outside forces? Where are those who opened the city gate? Damn it!
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the terrifying flames, his eyebrows jumped and he was extremely afraid.
He looked at Zhu Gaoxun with a serious expression and said,”Gaoxun, how did you accurately locate the location of Li Zicheng’s central army?”
“Grandfather Emperor, how can this be locked?” Zhu Gaoxun shook his head and said,”It’s just that my grandson has buried white phosphorus outside the capital in advance.”
“This flame……Is it white phosphorus? What is this?”
“A chemical substance, the emperor will know about it later.”Zhu Gaoxun did not explain in detail, but simply said:”This thing is very dangerous, it will spontaneously combust without fire. Once the human body is contaminated, it cannot be extinguished and can only be burned to death…….”
Hiss!
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di took a breath and said in surprise:”How do you control such a terrifying thing, Gao Yu? And it’s everywhere outside the capital. Doesn’t Shuntian Prefecture become a dangerous place?”
“Don’t worry, father. I took this into consideration when I made this thing.”
Zhu Gaoxun looked at the battlefield below expressionlessly and said calmly,”This thing is bound by the item I made with my magic power, and it will not be released easily.”
“Li Zicheng’s central army is located here, and I just made a gesture to release the restraints, which led to the current situation.”
“now……The other white phosphorus at the bottom of the battlefield has been pulled by my magic power.���Return to the group storage space.”
Hearing this, Zhu Di just breathed a sigh of relief.
If such a terrifying thing was everywhere outside the capital, the consequences would be disastrous if it broke out.
Even if the person killed was a traitor, Zhu Di was worried that Zhu Gaoxu would be cursed for eternity.

After all…..Didn’t Zhu Gaoxun want Zhu Zhan’an to take over this world? The most direct consequence of the court’s excessive killing and cruelty is that it will cause the people of the world to lose their loyalty.、
“Father! It’s time for you to come out.”
While Zhu Di was thinking, Zhu Gaoyin smiled and said,”At this moment, Li Zicheng’s troops are losing their morale. It’s a good time to attack. Otherwise,……Your father-in-law, my grandfather, General Xu, is about to reap the battlefield!”
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di was startled and looked towards the battlefield. Sure enough, he saw the 10,000 troops led by Xu Da!
Zhu Di was an avid military enthusiast, and he immediately shouted:”Sons, follow me to kill the enemy!”
Before leaving, Zhu Di instructed Zhu Gaoxun:”Good son, can your white phosphorus be made into ammunition? When I come back, we will study it!”
“Get out of here!”
Zhu Yuanzhang kicked the dawdling Zhu Di away, looked at Zhu Gao with fiery eyes and said,”My dear grandson, in the future, you should use less weapons like this, or you will be cursed……”
Zhu Gaoxun’s mouth twitched when he heard this, and he couldn’t help complaining in his heart: You, old man, have killed so many people in Yingtian Prefecture, so you don’t want to kill people? Sure enough
, Zhu Gaoxun heard Zhu Yuanzhang laughing and said,”We are not afraid of killing people. Let us do this kind of thing in the future!”
“This scene almost shocked me. My dear grandson, you are really amazing! But I also want to try this weapon, can I?”
“Of course.”
Zhu Gaoxun was a man of high moral principles and did not care about the technology. The old man had said such good things, and it would be unfair not to meet his needs.
So he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and nodded, saying,”Grandpa Emperor, when we were fighting the Jiannu, I tried to make this thing into a bomb and will give it to you to try.”
“”Great! Great!”
Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy that his teeth were shining brightly.”It will be up to you, Gao Xun, to take care of our Hongwu Dynasty.””
“We won’t let you suffer any loss. When the group task reward arrives, I will give you a part of the seeds.”
“others……As long as it is something that we have during the Hongwu Dynasty, Gao Yu, just ask for it and we will give it to you!”
Zhu Youjian, who had come to his senses, looked at this scene with awe and envy. He also wanted it.
But he dared not say anything, dared not mention anything. He was already very satisfied that his ancestors could rebuild the country for him, an unworthy descendant.
“We are all members of the Zhu family. Grandpa Huang is too polite.”
“You’re welcome, you’re welcome. So what if we’re a family? If we interact with each other, we can get along better.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with Zhu Gaoxun’s words and sighed,”It’s a pity that I couldn’t meet you earlier, otherwise the Hongwu Ming Dynasty would be better than it is now.”
“Gao Xun, you are truly a unicorn gifted by God to our Zhu family. With you, the Ming Dynasty is destined to be glorious!”
“I am very confident about this.” Zhu Gaoyi laughed and said meaningfully:”If my father makes things difficult for me in the future, please protect me, Grandpa Emperor.”
“No problem!”
People like to be admired, but they also hope to be needed. Zhu Yuanzhang didn’t want to suck Zhu Gaoxun’s blood.
Now that Zhu Gaoxun took the initiative to speak, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately patted his chest and said:”No matter how big the problem is, we are always in the front to bear it!”
“”If the fourth son dares to say anything bad about you, we will have a good talk with him about his rebellion!”
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxun smiled slightly and said something else to make the old man happy.
Zhu Gaoxun had anticipated Zhu Di’s previous actions and had already guessed…….
My father Zhu Di must be very curious about how he got the throne. Zhu Gaoxun also planned to defeat another by giving his father a heads-up in advance.
After saying that,
Zhu Gaoxun and Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the battlefield together.
At this time, the battlefield had reached its final stage. The Marshal was burned to death. There was a horrific explosion scene, and Zhu Gaoxun’s Imperial Guards provided cover.
Zhu Di and Xu Da were like two sharp knives, one at the end and the other at the head, stabbing Li Zicheng’s troops.
Li Zicheng’s troops, who had lost their morale, were fine if they surrendered, but they could hardly stand up to any resistance and were directly torn apart by the cavalry of Zhu Di and Xu Da.
Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Zhu Gaoxun looked at Zhu Youjian and said,”Youjian, don’t be anxious. You will have everything you need. What you need to learn is how to govern your people.”
“”Grandchildren understand!” Seeing that Zhu Gaoxun had not forgotten him, Zhu Youjian almost cried,”Thank you Tianchengzu for your concern. I will work harder and be an emperor who loves the people and works hard!”
“Very good, then I will not say any more. I will talk to you when I have dealt with the affairs of this world.”
“The grandchildren are waiting for the teachings of Tiancheng Zu!”
Zhu Yuanzhang took in the conversation between the two and nodded quietly. He knew that Zhu Gaoxun was giving Zhu Youjian a shot of prevention.
Zhu Zhan’an’s replacement of Zhu Youjian was already a foregone conclusion. The only remaining question was how to deal with Zhu Youjian.
He was also very curious about where Zhu Gaoxun was going to arrange Zhu Youjian…….Because if Zhu Gaoxun did not want Zhu Youjian to continue to be the emperor, he would definitely not have taught him the way of the emperor so painstakingly.
