Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 252 Chapter 252, Cannons bombard the city of Xi'an, Chuang Wang wants to escape but has no way
Of course Li Zicheng received Zhu Cihong's letter of persuasion to surrender, but he only scanned it briefly and then tore the letter into pieces.

"It's ridiculous and absurd, this Zhu Cihong doesn't really think he can break through my Xi'an city, hahahaha!"

Li Zicheng's loud laughter echoed in the hall, and many courtiers in front of him could only look at each other in blank dismay.

At this time, everyone was very flustered, and they really didn't have the heart to cater to Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng didn't seem to care about this, but smiled to himself.

After a while, Li Zicheng stopped laughing and said, "How is the city defense arrangement?"

A general replied, "There are currently fifty thousand soldiers in the city, and they have guarded the four walls according to His Majesty's arrangement. If the imperial court soldiers invade tomorrow, our army will definitely give them a head-on blow."

Li Zicheng suddenly became angry, grabbed a scroll in front of him, and threw it heavily at the general.

The general hesitated for a moment, his already moving figure stopped abruptly, and his forehead was swollen from the blow.

Li Zicheng scolded angrily: "The court, the court, what a bullshit court? My Dashun is the real court, the only court in this world!"

There was a clatter, and everyone knelt down.

Li Zicheng snorted and stood up very unhappily.

"A bunch of idiots, useless waste!"

After saying this, Li Zicheng left the hall directly.

When Li Zicheng left, the kneeling officials of Dashun got up tremblingly and left the place.

Many people's eyes flickered when they left, and it was obvious that some thoughts had arisen in their minds that should not have existed in the first place.

Under the nest, how can there be any eggs?
So the night passed.

The next morning, when the sky had just broken, many Ming troops were still having breakfast in the camp, and the artillerymen had completed all preparations.

This is also one of the improvements that Zhu Cihong made after each battle. Anyway, the bombardment of the cannons can be as short as half a day or as long as a few days. The safety of the city and the ability to invest in the siege operation as soon as the city is broken are enough.

"Let's fire." After receiving the prepared reply from the artillery commanders, Zhu Cihong gave the order, and then picked up the steamed stuffed bun that was placed next to him.

Zhu Cihong likes to eat steamed buns very much, especially the stuffed pork stuffed buns, the aroma is overflowing after one bite, giving people an energetic morning.

"Boom boom boom!"

Dozens of cannons set up a formation and began to bombard Xi'an City. The shells fell on the city wall and smoke kept rising.

Zhu Cihong wiped out a big bun with a few mouthfuls, then stretched out his right hand, and Fang Gonggan next to him immediately understood, and brought him a cup of hot soybean milk.

Zhu Cihong carefully blew on the steaming soy milk, took a tentative sip after blowing a few times, and then frowned: "Why didn't you put sugar?"

Fang Gong hurriedly said: "Didn't Your Highness say yesterday that you want to quit sugar?"

Zhu Cilang was silent for a while, and said: "I am also a human being, and as a human being, there will always be times when I fart."

A spoonful of sugar is quickly thrown into the cup, and then shaken with a spoon.

Zhu Cihong took another sip, and then his eyes lit up: "Yes, that's the taste! Lao Fang, you have to remember the lesson from this time, do you understand?"

Fang Gongqian hesitated for a moment, then said: "Then... what if one day His Highness stops farting?"

Zhu Cihong said angrily: "I don't even know how to understand my mind, how did you become a eunuch? Fart or not, of course it's a matter of adapting to the situation. Do you know what the Sacred Heart is changeable, and what is the unfathomable power of the sky?"

Fang Gong couldn't laugh or cry, he could only answer yes again and again.

While speaking, the cannons had fired several rounds.

After all, Xi'an City was the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties, and it was also the logistics base where Daming fought Li Zi for a long time in the past. The whole city is still relatively strong. This city is still not something that can be completed in a short time.

Zhu Cihong ate three steamed buns, drank a cup of soy milk, and burped in satisfaction.

"The soldiers below should have almost finished eating, right? Send some people out of the camp to make some noise and scare Li Zicheng. By the way, is there any famous song in Yulin? Sing a few lines and let Li Zicheng Listen to the accent!"

When Zhu Cihong spoke, his face was full of wicked smiles.

Although Besieged on all sides is an old stalker, it is really very fun to play on such an occasion.

Li Zicheng was really flustered.

After being shelled, Li Zicheng immediately summoned his ministers to discuss matters.

However, after waiting for half an hour, the number of ministers in front of Li Zicheng never exceeded double digits.

This is obviously very abnormal. Just last night, there were at least forty ministers sitting in this hall.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the sound of shelling from a distance was so steady that it seemed to have existed since the beginning of the world, and Li Zicheng's heart gradually became cold.

"Nobody's coming, right?"

This seems to be a question sentence, but it doesn't seem to be.

No one answered Li Zicheng, everyone lowered their heads, as if they were hiding something, but they didn't.

Li Zicheng sighed, and suddenly said again: "How long can you stay?"

This time, someone answered immediately.

It was still the general from yesterday: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I have already anticipated the artillery of the Ming army, and urgently reinforced the city wall of Xi'an City. If there are no accidents, at least it will not be a problem to resist the artillery bombardment for a month."

When Li Zicheng heard this, the expression on his face relaxed a little.

One month sounds like a short time, but Li Zicheng felt that it was impossible for the Ming army to have enough shells for a month.

The city of Xi'an can still be defended!
Li Zicheng heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Very good, then now..."

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the hall, which made Li Zicheng stop talking involuntarily.

A general rushed in out of breath.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, there are people rebelling in the city, and the city gate has been opened to welcome the Ming army!"

Li Zicheng's face changed greatly: "What? Which shameful traitor is it?"

"It's Song Ping!"

"Damn it, I knew they couldn't be trusted, I should have killed these shameful ants when Song Xiance disappeared, I..."

"Your Majesty, don't say so much, the Ming army is about to enter the city, hurry up and retreat with the ministers!"

"...Quick, take me away!"

Li Zicheng stood up abruptly, and hurriedly left surrounded by a group of Dashun army court guards.

"Your Majesty, what about the queen and the crown prince?"

"Don't worry about them, take me away first!"

In the Dashun Palace, there was chaos in an instant.
