Chapter 1329
Now that Wei Wu has arrived and Zhang Hai has left, the gunners can finally begin to adjust the muzzle angle against Yao Guangxiao.
"Master Daoyan, aren't you curious about how this cannon is fired? Now I'll let you experience it for yourself."
Just as everything was about to be ready, Wei Wu suddenly shouted something to Yao Guangxiao.
The very next second, Yao Guangxiao responded.
"You will regret this, Wei Wu, you will definitely regret it! The future collapse of the Ming Dynasty will all be the result of your own actions!"
Upon hearing Yao Guangxiao's words, Wei Wu's lips curled into a disdainful smile, but he did not speak.
He simply turned around and followed the gunner to create some distance between himself and Yao Guangxiao, silently responding to himself.
"Regret? I regretted not killing you the first time we met. If I don't kill you now, then I'll truly regret it!"
Seeing that Wei Wu did not respond, Yao Guangxiao gave up completely. He knew that no matter what he said today, he would not survive.
Since that's the case, we might as well save our breath.
Just as Yao Guangxiao was preparing to die, the gunner who was to send him to his death also made his preparations after careful adjustments.
Once everything was ready, the gunner pressed his hands firmly against the mounting bracket, while a soldier holding a shell stood beside him.
However, the soldier did not act immediately; he simply stood by, holding the shell, as if waiting for orders.
Just then, the gunner turned his head to look at Zhu Di.
"General, the mortars are ready. Please give the order!"
Upon hearing the gunner's words, Zhu Di slowly shook his head and pointed to Wei Wu beside him.
"This matter is the Duke of Zhenguo's idea. Whether to fire the cannons and when to fire them are all up to the Duke of Zhenguo."
As soon as Zhu Di finished speaking, Wei Wu waved his hand and said something simple.
"Now that we're ready, let's fire!"
"Yes!"
The gunner responded in a deep voice, then turned and gave a look to the soldier next to him who was holding the shell.
Then the soldier slowly walked up to the mortar and inserted the tail of the shell into the muzzle.
"put!"
As soon as he finished the action, the gunner shouted something, and the soldier released his grip at the same time.
boom!
A somewhat suppressed explosion rang out, and all that could be seen was a flash of light from the cannon muzzle, followed by a dark figure darting away at high speed.
The dark shape shot straight into the sky like a bird, but after a short while, it lost momentum and began to fall.
Now everyone can see the description of the dark shape clearly; it is a long, narrow cannonball, which is falling towards Yao Guangxiao.
Not only did Wei Wu and his men see it, but Yao Guangxiao, who experienced it firsthand, also saw the shell.
While everyone else was just watching the spectacle, Yao Guangxiao was counting down the time until his death!
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, the falling shell finally crashed to the ground in front of Yao Guangxiao.
boom! !
After the explosion and the flash of fire, the spot where Yao Guangxiao was standing was completely covered by black smoke and dust.
Just as everyone was waiting for the result, a gentle breeze blew by, and the black smoke and dust were slowly dispersed by the wind.
Soon everyone could see the location where the shell had hit. The wooden stake was still standing, but there was no one on it anymore.
Although Yao Guangxiao was not seen, Wei Wu was not worried, given the explosion at such close range.
He didn't believe Yao Guangxiao was still alive; the most likely explanation was that the rope couldn't withstand the force of the explosion and broke.
This resulted in Yao Guangxiao's body lying on the ground, and because the distance between them was too great, it was not clearly visible.
Therefore, after the explosion, Wei Wu and Zhu Di immediately headed towards the blast site, and Zhang Hai quickly followed.
