Chapter 332: The Second Drum Fails (Part II)

When Lan Ziyi heard this, he looked back at Qi Rongxun, only to see Qi Rongxun pouting his face and looking in the direction where the demon thief was attacking, his eyes far away as if he hadn't said anything just now.

Lan Ziyi only stopped at the horse for a moment, then he lowered his head and smiled, then turned around and chased after his own brigade in front of him. This time, Lan Ziyi went around the mountain to rescue the soldiers of the four villages of the Bali Battalion in front of him completely on his own initiative, and he did not get the permission of the big battalion, and it was already a great luck to be able to bring the Jihu Battalion back safely. Zhang Taiwei probably would not agree with Lan Ziyi's risky behavior, and Zhang Yanwu's attitude corroborates this. Unexpectedly, Qi Rongxun actually praised Lan Ziyi, which surprised Lan Ziyi very much, Lan Ziyi thought that he would not care too much about the death and injury of his subordinate soldiers, but now it seems that Lan Ziyi was wrong, Qi Rongxun is still very similar to Lan Ziyi in treating his subordinates.

Qi Rongxun listened to Lan Ziyi's horse hooves and began to give orders to his subordinates, and he shouted:

"Everyone! Reload the Blossom Bomb! We'll shoot just one round and then we'll go back to camp! “

The soldiers who followed Qi Rongxun out of the camp either operated the Franco machine or used the red-coated cannon, and as soon as they got out of the camp gate, they began to set up artillery and load ammunition, and after hearing Qi Rongxun's order, their subordinates moved faster.

Qi Rongxun looked at the demon thief who was gradually approaching and calculated the loading time, as soon as the gunners finished loading, they were about to open their mouths to report to Qi Rongxun, but Qi Rongxun took the first step to ask, and Qi Rongxun's eyes were still in front of the demon thief at this time, and they never moved away.

Qi Rongxun asked:

"Ammunition ready?"

The soldiers shouted in unison:

"It's loaded!"

Qi Rongxun received the reply and immediately shouted:

"Put!"

After receiving the order, the long-awaited gunner held a fuse to ignite the gunpowder in the chamber, and after a little spark flashed, the gunpowder in the entire gun chamber was ignited, and the violently expanding explosive gas squeezed the projectile, and could not wait to send the lead bullet into the air.

The thieves heard the sound when the gunpowder rang out, in fact, as early as when they rushed over, they had already seen the gate of the official army camp open, and a group of people carrying artillery out of the camp.

But the thieves didn't intend to run away just because a few people were killed in the official camp, they didn't even have the intention of hiding. Just now, not far after these demon thieves retreated, they learned that they were deceived by Lan Ziyi, and the fire behind them was not Lan Ziyi's order at all, it was Lei Youde who was ruining the boat himself in order to boost morale, and so many people on the front line of the demon thieves At that time, as long as they were willing to stabilize their positions and fight with Lan Ziyi, there would be no more cavalry of the Tiger Battalion in the future.

The retreating demon thieves were scared away by Lan Ziyi's lies, and they were chased by Tao Zhuhu alone, even if they just thought about it, the demon thieves were embarrassed, and after being laughed at by the leaders and reinforcements who came from behind, the demon thieves who retreated just now became ashamed and annoyed, they were eager to prove their courage, eager to take revenge on the officers and soldiers, they saw through the bluff tricks of the officers and soldiers, and now they want to completely tear apart everyone who dares to stand in the way in front of them.

The sound of the projectile breaking through the air struck, and the experienced demon thief veteran scolded in the formation:

"Don't be afraid, the projectiles of the officers and soldiers only hit one line, just don't get in front of the shells."

When the demon thieves who rushed to kill heard this, they immediately adjusted their formation, and all the demon thieves who felt the sound on their heads scattered to both sides.

Just when the thieves thought they were ready, there was another explosion in the sky, and the thieves who looked up saw that many cannonballs exploded in the sky like fireworks, and then their bodies were hit by the shotguns that came from their faces.

The cannonball ordered by Qi Rongxun did not smash straight into the demon thief's formation like an ordinary cannonball, but suddenly exploded after flying above the demon thief's head, and the countless projectiles hidden in the lead pellet were blown out by the built-in gunpowder, and were thrown into an oval surface in the air, shrouding the head of the charging demon thief.

The thieves had never learned this form of flowering shells, and they thought they could try to dodge the shells as they had done in the past, but their clumsy behavior did not help them at all, and the shotguns rained down, harvesting the lives of the thieves in pieces.

The demon thief was hit by a cannonball, and the seriously injured demon thief lay on the ground screaming heartbreakingly, and those survivors who escaped looked back at their partners who were still charging together just now, and their hearts were cold.

With just this blow, a large piece of the demon thief's attacking array was bitten off from the center.

Qi Rongxun immediately urged his soldiers to carry the cannon back to the camp after ordering the shelling, and he still couldn't help but look back at the moment before Qi Rongxun entered the camp, the results were better than he expected, the demon thief was actually delayed by a round of artillery bombardment, Qi Rongxun thought that he could only cause some damage to the demon thief.

After Qi Rongxun stepped into the camp, the camp gate was immediately closed, and the archers guarding the wall on the camp gate ground were full of bows and arrows in the canopy to aim at the demon thief, and when the demon thief bypassed the place where he was shelled just now and entered the range of the bow and arrow, the defenders in the camp let go of the bowstring in their hands with a swish, and then quickly set the string again.

A volley of arrows pierced the rain and mist like locusts and flew towards the thief, and the arrows clanged on the thief's armor, and the place that was not protected by the armor was pierced by the sharp arrows, and the middle arrow thief screamed and rolled to the ground.

The demon thieves didn't expect that the official army still had so many bows and arrows that could be used, you must know that most of the demon thieves' own bows and crossbows were soaked, and there were no more than ten bows and crossbows that could be used now.

However, there is nothing unexpected about the attack on the village, and the demon thieves are also ready to meet the target, they still want to prove their loyalty and courage, and they want to capture Lan Ziyi alive to wash away the shame, but the demon thieves who are still running always feel that their legs are weak and they can't run. In the morning, the boat swaying across the river has made many thieves seasick, and they began to pull out the village without much food, and even if they are not dead or injured, they are already tired and hungry after a morning. The round of artillery bombardment by the official army just now was so shocking, and the current demon thieves were really a little powerless.

After at least three rounds of arrows, the shotgunners of the Shenji Battalion guarding the camp began to light the fuse, and they pulled the trigger under the orders of the officer, and a barrage of bullets came out, and the earth-shattering sound made people tremble, this time whether the thief had armor or not, it was impossible to escape, and wherever the projectiles went, blood splattered everywhere, and screamed again and again.

The demon thief is like a piece of wheat ripe in autumn has been cut down, and this is just the beginning, the Shenji battalion standing at the head of the wall handed over the empty guns that had been shot to the friendly troops under the wall to load, and then took the loaded shotguns from the hands of the friendly soldiers and fired again, and the entire fire net was overwhelming and attacked the demon thieves without stopping. At the same time, the archers were also able to aim accurately when the thieves came closer, and the killing efficiency was higher than before. Under the multiple kills, the demon thieves suffered heavy casualties, and before they reached the camp wall, they were already covered with corpses.

The fierce firepower of the officers and soldiers terrified the demon thieves, but the advantage in numbers allowed a large number of demon thieves to reach the foot of the camp wall, and then the demon thieves either built ladders with their accomplices or cut down the wooden fence in front of them with their axes.

But how could the officers and soldiers guarding the wall of the wall see the demon thieves doing nonsense, looking at the pikemen who had already arranged melee combat on the camp wall, and now the demon thieves rushed to the front, these pikemen stood on the wall and stabbed down with spears, the tip of the spear pierced from the neck of the demon thief without armor, and then was pulled out by the officers and soldiers, killing the demon thief between one in and one out, and the blood of the demon thief was splashed, and people kept falling to the ground.

There were also officers and sabers and shieldmen who patrolled around the camp wall, and when they saw a demon thief ladder building the wall, they went up to cut off the barb, and then overturned the ladder with the friendly troops next to them.

The officers and soldiers not only have cold soldiers, but also the firearms of the Shenji Battalion can come in handy. After the demon thief leaned to the corner of the wall, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion lit the grenade that had been prepared, and as soon as the lead was ignited, the lead bullet was thrown off the wall, and the demon thief did not understand what this thing was a loud bang for life, and the demon thief who was densely surrounded around him was blown off his limbs, and the iron shell of the grenade was also shattered by gunpowder, bursting into the body of the surrounding demon thief and causing damage.

Under the joint attack of the official army, the foot of the camp wall suddenly became a flesh mill, and the demon thieves were killed screaming again and again, and after attacking for most of the day, none of the demon thieves could climb the top of the wall.

Outside the wall are the demon thieves desperately attacking the village, and inside the wall is another busy scene. The sergeants in the village have already been camped into several groups, everyone is busy supporting the wall in an orderly manner, and the soldiers on the wall will be forcibly replaced after a quarter of an hour, and the new combat power will be on top, and if someone is injured, it will be replaced immediately by the sergeant waiting behind. In addition, there are special teams that have been arranged to transport supplies.

With the coordination of so many people, the soldiers on the wall resisted wave after wave of attacks by demon thieves without the slightest confusion.

Zhang Wang was not idle in the back at this time, he was wearing strong armor, and he patrolled along the inside of the wall with a kind of army general, not only patrolling, Zhang Wangren was not idle, he cheered up the sergeants while walking. Seeing a sergeant running around with a firearm box in his arms, he immediately pointed and said:

"Don't run! What should I do if I fall and get my firearm waterlogged?

Come! Go and form a long line with that sergeant and hand ammunition to the wall! “

As he spoke, he asked the general next to him to command the reserve sergeants around him and the sergeant to line up in a long line, and one by one they pressed against the firearm box against the wall.

At this time, the outside of the camp was cold and flew arrows, straight in front of Zhang Wang, if Zhang Wang took one more step, he was afraid that he would be hit by the arrow.

There is a bias general next to him who shouts "Danger! Then he stood in front of him.

Zhang Wang pushed the general away and scolded:

"What is the risk? It's just a stray arrow, and that scares you? ”

The sergeant replied:

"Captain, I'm afraid of your ......"

Zhang Wang scolded again:

"I have such a heavy family on my body, can this thing be pierced? There are soldiers who are born and die on the wall, what do I have to be afraid of standing in the back? ”

When the soldiers saw this, their morale immediately increased, and the commander was not afraid of death, and the soldiers had nothing to fear. Suddenly, the sergeants on the wall fought more bravely.
