The sudden change caused Lan Yu, who was still in a dream, to instantly wake up.
At this moment, regardless of whether it was Song Sheng, Lan Yu, or the 100,000 soldiers behind them.
They all woke up.
The huge city in front of him was real!
Behind Lan Yu and Song Sheng, a team of shieldbearers reacted immediately.
They immediately rushed forward and built a shield wall around Blue Jade and Song Sheng, protecting them within.
The 100,000-strong army began to retreat slowly in an orderly manner.
Only when they retreated to a place that everyone thought was relatively safe did they remove the shield wall.
However, at this moment, the 100,000-strong army had already formed an attack formation as they retreated.
Lan Yu and Song Sheng did not speak.
Both of them remained silent.
They didn't know what to say anymore.
After a long while, Lan Yu said in a deep voice,
"How did they do it?"
Song Sheng knew that she was asking him.
"I don't know either, but it's very terrifying!”
Lan Yu nodded in agreement and said,
"Yeah, it's terrifying. It's completely beyond our imagination. It's only been a short month!”
"I find it hard to imagine how the people in this city did it.”
"Compared to a month ago, this Starting City has expanded at least ten times.”
"I can't imagine how they managed to do it in a month's time.”
Song Sheng nodded silently.
"Great General, we have underestimated the people in this city.”
Lan Yu did not say anything. Instead, she looked at the Initial City with a cold gaze.
After a long time, he said,
"I regret not taking down this city a month ago.”
When Song Sheng heard this, he did not say anything, but he agreed with Lan Yu's words in his heart.
If the two of them had known that the people in this city had such ability, they would have taken down this city first a month ago.
To put it bluntly, the two of them had underestimated the Initial City.
He also did not expect that the people in Starting City could expand the city by ten times in a short month.
With the scale of the Initial City, their 100,000 strong army could completely surround them from all sides.
But now, if they wanted to surround the Starting City that had expanded by ten times, they would need three to four hundred thousand soldiers.
"Great General, what should we do now?”
Song Sheng looked at Lan Yu and asked in a deep voice.
Lan Yu said coldly,"
"Send someone to ask them what they meant by shooting arrows at us just now.”
"If they can't give us a reasonable explanation, then they're determined to be enemies with our Big Ming. If that's the case, what do you think we should do?”
When Song Sheng heard this, he immediately knew what Lan Yu meant.
He nodded slightly and sent people to the Starting City to shout at the city walls.
Following that, a messenger from the 100,000-strong army rode alone towards the base of the city.
The messenger arrived in front of the arrow that shot in front of Lan Yu. Just as he was about to step over this arrow and continue moving forward.
The sound of air being torn apart rose again.
Another arrow landed steadily in front of the messenger.
The herald had no choice but to stop his horse.
At the same time, a banner was lowered from far above the Initial City.
On the banner, four words were clearly written.
Those who crossed the boundary would die!
This scene was clearly seen by Blue Jade and Song Sheng.
When Lan Yu saw this, she was furious!
"How dare you, you don't even have the slightest confidence in Big Ming's dignity!”
"Tell the messenger to come back. There's nothing more to say. Their attitude has already been placed here. We don't need to have any scruples!”
"Men! Reorganize the army! Prepare to attack the city!"
When Song Sheng heard this, he frowned slightly.
It wasn't that he objected to Lan Yu's military order, but he felt that it was a little inappropriate.
This person from the Initial City actually dared to so brazenly provoke Great Ming's dignity. What was he relying on?
Did they have something to rely on?
Song Sheng only felt that it was a little risky to attack the city without knowing the enemy's background.
However, Blue Jade was the general. Since Blue Jade had decided to attack the city, he could only follow Blue Jade's orders.
Dong dong!
The war drums sounded.
The 100,000 Ming soldiers quickly lined up.
The 100,000 man army under Blue Jade did not have any siege weapons.
However, they had enough firearms.
They didn't even lack cannons.
The firearms of this period were actually larger in size.
The smallest musket had a mouth the size of a bowl.
When the Ming soldiers used firearms, most of them carried them, and some carried them.
Furthermore, the muskets of this period were divided into three categories.
The first was a handgun used by a single soldier.
The second type was the medium-sized bowl-mouthed musket that was used on warships and the defense of the pass.
The third type was the large-scale musket cannon that was specially used for city defense fortresses.
In fact, other than the first type, the latter two are commonly known as cannons.
One was a medium-sized cannon, and the other was a large-sized cannon.
Moreover, the range of the cannons at this time was basically not far.
Even the large-scale cannons that were specially used for fortress defense had a range of 200 meters.
Although it had been improved, the range of the large-scale handgun did not exceed 300 meters.
Most of the firearms in the Blue Jade Army were handguns.
There were also many medium-sized muskets.
The range of the handgun was only about sixty meters.
The range of the musket was less than two hundred meters.
Of course, these firearms could not be underestimated.
Whether it was a handgun or a blaster, they were both extremely powerful.
Its lethality was in the form of a flower.
At close range, it could cover an area of 30 to 60 meters.
Compared to the shotguns of the later generations, it had a larger killing area.
These firearms were also the only magic weapons the Ming army could use to deal with the Mongolian cavaliers on the grasslands.
It was precisely because of these firearms that Blue Jade dared to organize a 100,000 strong army and launch a siege without any siege weapons.
Lan Yu believed that with the sharpness of the Ming army's firearms, they could completely suppress the defenders on the city wall.
Then, he would let the soldiers set up the ladder.
Under the cover of firearms, they charged up the city wall.
This kind of battle technique, Lan Yu had used it countless times before, and it worked every time.
Following Blue Jade's order, the two of them were about to leave.
The 100,000 strong army began to slowly advance towards the Starting City.
The shieldbearers were in front, raising their shields to form a shield wall.
The musketeers were either holding their blunderbusses or hiding behind the shield wall.
Archers and crossbowmen followed closely behind the shieldmen, providing cover for the front line at all times.
The soldiers carrying the scaling ladders followed closely behind, ready to charge towards the scaling ladders at any time.
In short, the Ming army advanced in an orderly manner and cooperated closely with each other. One could tell at a glance that they were elites who were experienced in battle.
Similarly, Lan Yu was also very confident.
He believed that as long as there were no accidents.
It wouldn't be too much of a problem to take down this giant city.
