Chapter 114 Simulation
boom!boom!
On land, artillerymen lit the fuses and continued bombarding Dinghai City. At the same time, British troops also pulled the triggers, and hundreds of bullets went straight for Jiang Yueming.
The British army's sudden attack was indeed beyond his expectations. The commander was not afraid of Palmerston and even dared to fire his guns and cannons.
It wasn't that the commander wasn't afraid of the prime minister; it was just that even if they opened fire and captured Dinghai City, they could still get the Celestial Empire to meet their demands.
After all, the strength of the Celestial Empire's army is nothing more than this. They wiped out the Dinghai Navy in nine minutes at sea, and now they are also beating them to a pulp on land.
Since that's the case, why waste words with Jiang Yueming? If we can storm the city in one fell swoop, we can still plunder money and women. Who wants to negotiate with the Celestial Empire?
Even if there were to be negotiations, they wouldn't be with them, but with their plenipotentiary representative, Mr. Yi Lu. Unfortunately, Mr. Yi Lu is not currently in Dinghai.
"Damn it!"
Bullets rained down rapidly, like a torrential downpour.
Just as Jiang Yueming was about to take a step to avoid the hail of bullets, he caught a glimpse of soldiers fleeing behind him. He immediately gritted his teeth, formed hand seals, and activated the spiritual energy within his body.
"The Golden Realm!"
Under the condensation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, a golden bronze mirror slowly took shape, emitting a scorching light that melted the bullets it touched.
However, while the bullet can be melted, the black shell behind it is not so easy to block, since its power is several levels higher than that of the bullet.
Moreover, the British troops were all at the late stage of the Condensation Realm, just like Jiang Yueming. They had already infused their spiritual energy into the cannonballs, making them far more powerful than normal cannonballs. If they increased their spiritual energy output, let alone the mere Dinghai East Gate.
Even if the entire city of Dinghai were razed to the ground, it would only take a moment!
Of course, the British and their people wanted to use Dinghai City as a supply base, so they wouldn't do that. However, even though Jiang Yueming's strength had reached the late stage of the Condensation Realm, it was still very difficult for him to withstand these shells.
Click!
The enormous golden bronze mirror in the void shattered in the aftershocks of the cannonball explosion, and fragments of bronze slowly scattered, filling the air with the pungent smell of burning metal.
"Hmm," a trace of blood suddenly appeared at the corner of Jiang Yueming's mouth, and a hint of solemnity appeared in his eyes.
The Golden Mirror had already exhausted much of its power to block bullets, so it was really a stretch to withstand these cannonballs now.
But at that point, he could no longer hesitate, because if he did not forcefully take the shells, the Dinghai city wall behind him would collapse immediately. Once the east city wall fell, the British army would definitely rush in, and the situation would be completely out of control. What would happen to the people in the city then?
"Damn it, what should I do? Even Palmerston can't threaten them, so what use is the Queen?"
Jiang Yueming stared intently at the British troops below who were loading shells, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, his brows furrowing even more deeply.
He could only withstand one shelling, which was his limit. After all, the enemy outnumbered him, and if they shelled again, he would have no chance of stopping them.
If we can't stop it, the consequences are unimaginable!
Call ~
A refreshing sea breeze suddenly swept across the sea, ruffling Jiang Yueming's hair. Feeling the warm breeze, his eyes sparkled, and a slight smile curved his lips.
He has a solution!
The best way to deal with violence is to fight violence back. Since these British barbarians refuse to stop the war and negotiate, then fight until they agree to negotiate!
The wind is currently blowing from the east. If we can raise a huge plume of smoke and use the wind to our advantage, we can certainly obscure the British forces' view for a period of time, including their naval fleet.
In this way, the naval fleet would not dare to fire its cannons indiscriminately, and the British forces on land would certainly stop their attack due to obstructed visibility.
This will create an opening, which will be his best opportunity to seize the British cannons and then learn from their superior techniques to defeat them!
Let them taste what it's like to be bombarded!
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Jiang Yueming once again activated the spiritual energy within his body, and with a change of his hands, he summoned a golden platform seal. As the platform seal materialized, layers of spiritual energy shockwaves spread out in all directions.
"The Holy Golden Seal!"
"Start shelling!"
As a massive golden platform was lowered, the British army on land launched a new round of artillery bombardment, firing dozens of shells at Jiang Yueming.
boom!boom!
Before the shells could hit Jiang Yueming, the machine suddenly exploded, sending up clouds of dust that instantly swallowed the entire eastern part of Dinghai. The shells burst and flashed with fire in the dust.
"What's going on? What on earth did that person do?"
"Sir, what do we do? We can't see anything."
"Sir, are they trying to sneak on us? Should we prepare for defense?"
Panic began to break out within the British forces. Even the fleet that was ready to bombard the shore at any moment ceased its attack because the shore was shrouded in thick smoke and nothing could be seen. In addition, the wind direction was very unfavorable to them, and dust filled the air.
Clearly, the naval fleet had lost its previous ability to bombard Dinghai City, unless they wanted to abandon the British soldiers still on shore.
"Don't mess up, protect the cannon!"
The British commander was no fool; he quickly discerned Jiang Yueming's intentions and immediately issued orders as soon as the smoke cleared.
The British soldiers, surrounded by dust and smoke, received orders and immediately surrounded the cannons back to back, raising their flintlock muskets in preparation to prevent enemy attacks.
They also knew that in order to completely break through the Dinghai city gate, cannons were the most important weapon, and they absolutely could not lose them!
Amidst the smoke, Jiang Yueming's figure flickered and moved among the enemy, constantly searching for gaps in the British army's encirclement.
He wouldn't be reckless and charge headlong into battle, after all, his opponents were armed, and the scene of being shot and killed by British troops in the simulation was still fresh in his mind.
Fortunately, having served in the military in his previous life, he could still roughly determine the enemy's location by hearing when his vision was obstructed. However, it seemed that the British army had protected their cannons very well and had not given him any opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
"Damn it!" After several fruitless searches, and seeing that the dust was about to dissipate, Jiang Yueming had no choice but to retreat.
It seems that the plan to seize the British cannons is not feasible; we need to think of another way.
He only has about three minutes left!
Three minutes later, the smoke and dust cleared. Having learned their lesson, the British army would surely accelerate their attack on Dinghai City. At that time, the artillery fire would be even more intense, and the fall of Dinghai City would be inevitable!
despair!
Jiang Yueming leaped onto the top of Dinghai City. All he could see were dismembered limbs and broken bodies. The entire passageway of the city wall was filled with scattered corpses, and a strong smell of blood hit his nose.
He felt a sudden, inexplicable pain in his heart, yet he also felt helpless.
"Never mind, let's deal with the immediate problem first," Jiang Yueming shook her head, gathered her thoughts, and sighed softly.
"System, begin simulation."
