(Tonight's chapter is presented, please collect and subscribe, thank you for your support, Xiaoyun thank you!! )
To protect the three of them, it is not easy to join a tiger squat cannon to get to Lin Jiabao thirty steps away safely, and they will definitely be attacked by Lin Jiabao when the time comes.
Sun Tong frowned when he saw Li Zixiao, and thought that he was not satisfied with the distance he said, but this was really the limit distance he could do.
So the old man Sun Tong hurriedly explained to Li Zixiao: "Big boss, you don't know that the big projectile shot by this tiger squat cannon will be an arc.
If the distance is too far, the shells will be bent, and at that time they will not hit the village gate at all, and those small projectiles will be scattered.
If you are far away from the village gate, those small projectiles will be very powerful, and I am afraid that they will not all be able to hit the village gate, and the effect will be greatly weakened. ”
As soon as Li Zixiao heard Sun Tong say this, he immediately understood, so he said to him: "Okay, thirty steps is thirty steps, I will let my subordinates escort you safely to the thirty steps of the village gate, and then you can really be sure to blast open the gate of Linjiabao Village, this is not child's play." ”
Sun Tong hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, as long as the big boss can send someone to send our father and son, as well as the tiger squat cannon to the village gate thirty steps away, the little old man will definitely be able to blast the village gate open." ”
Li Zixiao nodded and said: "This is very good, I will send a part of the sword and shield soldiers to escort you and the tiger squat cannon to the distance of thirty steps to the Zhuangmen, and then you will fire at the Zhuangmen for me, and blast the Zhuangmen open for me."
In addition, there is a certain danger in going to the battlefield, so this time your two sons will not all go, and leave one behind, just in case it is better to leave a queen for your Sun family. ”
"Thank you, the big boss, the big boss is benevolent!" When Sun Tong heard Li Zixiao say this, he was immediately moved, tears flashed in his eyes, and he said.
Li Zixiao waved his hand and asked them to go down to prepare, and the little old man took his two sons down to discuss which son to take in the end, and at the same time began to prepare the tiger squat cannon.
At this time, Li Zixiao came to the captured one-eyed dragon's subordinates and said in a deep voice: "Now that the trench in front of Lin Jiabao has been filled in by us, we are about to officially attack the village."
Later, I will distribute some swords, guns and shields to you, and all you have to do is to rush up and kill all those Zhuang Ding for Lao Tzu.
After the defeat of Lin Jiabao, I will fulfill my promise and give you money and food, and even join our cottage if you are willing. ”
After Li Zixiao finished speaking, he nodded slightly to Wei Hong next to him, and then Wei Hong walked out and beckoned these one-eyed dragons' subordinates to receive knives and guns.
Li Zixiao dared to issue swords and guns to these people, just to let them take the lead and act as the vanguard of the attack, but in order to prevent some elements from being dishonest, Li Zixiao directly ordered a team of soldiers to follow behind them and supervise them.
Through yesterday's battle, these people all had an extreme fear of Li Zixiao's pikemen, and they didn't dare to rebel if they wanted them to rebel.
Soon, Li Zixiao ordered the attack to begin, this time he personally sat in the rear to command, he first thought that Zhou Dazhu's sword and shield soldiers formed a shield array, protecting these one-eyed dragon subordinates towards Lin Jiabao.
Looking at the bandits swarming outside the village, the number of people was more than yesterday, after all, Li Zixiao only sent a small number of sword and shield soldiers to the field yesterday, and the manpower to attack the village today was concentrated under his men and most of the one-eyed dragon's men, and the momentum was not small.
The Zhuang Ding on the wall of the Lin Family Fort Village also became nervous again one by one, and the eldest son of the Lin family, Lin Tianhe, was even more nervous, his lips trembled a little, and his voice was a little out of tune shouting to get Zhuang Ding ready.
This time, after Li Zixiao formulated the offensive plan, he played more disciplined than yesterday, and his cooperation was much stronger than yesterday.
In a short period of time, they filled in a passage through the trench, which made the people in the village feel pressured, and all the people in the village were very nervous.
Seeing the poles holding rattan cards one by one, the shouts of killing shook the sky and swarmed again, followed by a group of people carrying long ladders, flocking to the village wall like ants.
The Zhuang Ding also realized that it would not work if they didn't fight, so under the command of Lin Tianhe, the son of the Lin family, they mustered up their courage, showed their heads on the village wall, and opened fire fiercely at the people below.
This time, the Zhuang Ding on the wall of Lin Jiabao Zhuang not only attacked with bird guns and bows and arrows, but the other Zhuang Ding were not idle, took out the bamboo spears that had just been sharpened, and threw them down as throwing guns.
Just now they also saw that when Li Zixiao was dealing with the One-Eyed Dragon and his gang, the effect of throwing guns and attacking was quite good, so in a hurry, they did the same.
Lin Tianhe immediately ordered someone to cut down a bamboo forest in the village, and temporarily cut some bamboo guns for use as throwing guns, which can be regarded as a living study.
Although the few people who rushed to the front were holding shields, in the face of such a fierce counterattack by the Zhuang Ding, there were still two sword and shield hands who were hit by bird guns and bows and arrows, fell to the ground, and were dragged down by the people behind for treatment.
Li Zixiao personally commanded the bird gunners and archers, stopped on the outside of the trench, and after the order was given, these archers and musketeers opened fire on the village wall together.
A series of gunshots like bursting beans came from the birds, and a cloud of gunpowder smoke immediately rose in front of them, and immediately two Zhuang Ding on the village wall turned over with a scream.
The two Lin family Zhuang Ding who were hit by the projectile shot by the bird gun were not injured and could not die, but one Zhuang Ding was shot in the chest by an arrow and died directly on the spot.
In the face of such a salvo of bird gunners and archers, the Zhuangding of the Linjiabao on the wall of the village could not dodge at all, which caused the morale of the Zhuangding to be hit.
With Zhou Dazhu leading the sword and shield soldiers to hold their shields, they sent those one-eyed dragon's subordinates to cover in front of the trench.
At this time, these former one-eyed dragon subordinates who were distributed simple weapons by Li Zixiao took the opportunity to quickly rush through the trench, erected several long ladders vigorously, and set up them on the village wall one after another.
"What about the forks, quickly use the forks, turn these ladders over the forks, don't let them come up, go and move more rolling logs and stones, and the gold juice, quickly pour the gold juice downward, give me a hard beating, and the master will be rewarded for killing the pole."
Lin Tianhe, the son of the Lin family, looked flustered, leaned against the female wall, and yelled desperately at the surrounding Lin family villagers, at this time he could only count on these villagers to give them the Lin family's life, so he kept shouting about killing the pole to get a bounty.
These Zhuangding also knew that once Zhuangzi was broken by the bandits, their fate was estimated to be no better, coupled with the stimulation of the bounty, these Linjiabao Zhuangding bravely launched a counterattack.
Luo Chao braved the bows, arrows, and bullets fired from below, without dodging or dodging at all, running back and forth on the Zhuang wall, kicking and hitting those Zhuang Ding who were too timid to get up and fight back, making them stand up and fight back.
The villagers began to throw all kinds of rolling wood stones under the village wall desperately, and took the iron forks with long handles, and struggled to fork the long ladders that had been built on the village wall.
Several Zhuang Ding pushed out together, knocking down the long ladder that had just been erected by the people below, and resolutely did not let the long ladder stand on the village wall.
For a while, the shouting of killing at the village wall shook the sky, and the rolling wood and stones on the village wall fell down like rain.
Although many people below were holding shields, in the face of the heavy rolling wood and stones, some people were immediately smashed on the head and bleeding, screaming, and scolding became a loud voice.
What's even more ruthless is that Zhuang Ding suddenly set up a big pot above, and poured a pot full of boiling dung water down to the bottom, and the hot dung water split his head and poured it down.
Even with a rattan sign on his head, he couldn't stop such a liquid, and suddenly several people screamed and were boiled by boiling water, and the crying father and mother rolled to the ground with a scream, and in an instant, a blister was burned on their heads and faces.
This time, Li Zixiao also followed the one-eyed dragon's method, and let all the old troops of the one-eyed dragon bet on them to play the striker, leaving the pikemen to supervise the formation on his side.
But what he didn't expect was that Lin Jiabao was still so difficult to deal with, and the Zhuang Ding in Lin Jiabao resisted very fiercely, pressing more than 100 people and rushing through the trench, but the long ladder couldn't get up to the village wall.
Although he commanded the musketeers and archers, and fired several volleys in a row, killing and wounding three or four Linjiabao Zhuang Ding on the Zhuang Wall, but they could not stop the Zhuang Ding counterattack, and it was impossible for the one-eyed dragon's men to attack the Zhuang Nei.
After such a chaotic onslaught, the people who were crowded under the village wall at this time finally couldn't hold on a little under the rolling wood and stones that the Zhuang Ding desperately thrown.
Some of the cowardly people have begun to retreat towards the side of the trench, and their morale has basically fallen to the bottom, so it is better to do something to open up the situation at this time, otherwise this attack will fail.
One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion!
For these one-eyed dragons' subordinates, they fight all by one breath, and once this anger is dissipated, it is simply impossible to let them continue to rush and kill.
At this time, Li Zixiao had already seen that more than 30 sword and shield soldiers led by Zhou Dazhu formed a shield array, and the tiger squat cannon and Sun Tong who were protecting had already advanced through the trench, and there were still two sword and shield soldiers along the way who did not protect their bodies and were shot and died.
Zhou Dazhu and his party stopped less than thirty steps away from the gate of Linjiabao Zhuangmen, Sun Tong hid behind the shield array, and one of his sons began to set up a tiger squat cannon.
Zhou Dazhu led the sword and shield soldiers to form a shield array to protect Sun Tong to the death, and let him and one of his sons complete the ammunition loading of the tiger squat cannon.
The tiger squat cannon is actually just a kind of light artillery, the barrel is relatively short, and the barrel is relatively thin, which is regarded as the accompanying suppression artillery in the Ming Dynasty army, and it is a firearm belonging to the category of field artillery.
The structural design of the Tiger Squat Cannon is also very simple, there is no gun carriage, only two supported column bases are installed in the front, which can stand in the ground.
The tiger squat cannon that Li Zixiao captured from the one-eyed dragon at the moment is like this, and the total weight is only a few dozen catties, and two people can run with it, and they are flexible.
You can load one large projectile at a time, and then load one hundred or ten small projectiles in front, and when you blast it out, those divergent small projectiles will sweep a large area, and the effect is quite good against close-range cluster targets.
The Tiger Squat Cannon also has a disadvantage, that is, the firing range is relatively short, the power of about thirty steps is okay, and the farther it is, these small projectiles have no penetrating power.
And the range of that big projectile is farther, but within a hundred steps, the penetration of that big projectile is still very strong.
At present, this tiger squat cannon can be regarded as Li Zixiao's only artillery, so he can only make do with it first, and Li Zixiao can't make anything better at the moment.
After a busy job, Sun Tong finally loaded the cannon, greeted Zhou Dazhu, and let Zhou Dazhu command the shield array of the sword and shield soldiers in front of him to reveal a hole, and asked him to aim the cannon at Zhuangmen, ready to open fire.
At this time, Luo Chao on the wall of Linjiabao Village had just breathed a sigh of relief because he commanded Zhuang Ding and repelled an attack by Zhuangxia's one-eyed dragons.
But when he saw the opening of Zhou Dazhu's shield array in front of the Zhuang Gate, the muzzle of the black hole of the tiger squat cannon was exposed, and his face changed suddenly.
Luo Chao felt that he shouted loudly to the surrounding Lin Jiabao villagers: "All shoot and fire arrows there, quickly!" Suddenly, after those Zhuang Ding heard Luo Chao's shout, they began to shoot arrows at the Zhou Dazhu shield array under the village.
At this time, Lin Tianhe, the son of the Lin family, also looked over because of Luo Chao's shouting, and also saw the exposed tiger squat cannon muzzle, and his face was suddenly pale with fright.
That tiger squat cannon seems to be less than thirty steps away from their village gate, if this cannon goes down, it is estimated that their village gate made of heavy wood will not be able to withstand it, it will be blasted open by projectiles!
"Hurry up and stop them, hurry!" At this time, Lin Tianhe roared hysterically, and Luo Chao shook his head on the side.
Luo Chao glanced at the tiger squat cannon outside the village that was protected by the shield array, the arrows and projectiles shot from the village could not help people at all, Luo Chao knew in his heart that this village gate could not be saved.
Once the gate of Lin Jiabao is broken, and those poles that have already killed the red eyes break into Lin Jiabao, can they still resist it? Think about the consequences.
"I've done everything I can, I've done my best to the Lin family, it's time to make plans for me and my mother."
Luo Chao said secretly in his heart, then quietly pushed to the side of a middle-aged man, and whispered, "Get ready to act!" The middle-aged man nodded slightly, and then retreated.
"Boss, hand me the fire cone red, hurry up!" At this time, after completing the steps of loading the ammunition of the Tiger Squat Cannon and aiming at Zhuangmen, Sun Tong commanded to the eldest son behind.
Soon Sun Tong's eldest son put a fire cone on a charcoal basin and burned it red, and handed it to his own son, Sun Tong took the red-hot fire cone handed over by his son.
Then he glanced at the village gate in front of him, and casually stabbed the fire cone into the fire door behind the tiger squat cannon.
In an instant, only a loud bang was heard, and the tiger squat cannon jumped on the ground, but it was fixed on the ground by two brackets and did not jump.
After a loud cannon sound, a large cloud of gunpowder smoke suddenly filled the eyes of Zhou Dazhu and the other sword and shield soldiers, and they could hardly see anything clearly in front of them, and they choked people and coughed.
After the smoke gradually dissipated, everyone looked at it, and saw that a huge hole had appeared on the door of the Lin family's village in front of them.
The wooden gate was still densely covered with many small holes, and the door, which had been a good one, was now almost beaten like a sieve, and even the latch inside seemed to be broken.
Seeing that the gate of Lin Jiabao Village was already crumbling, there were several terrible screams from inside the doorway, it was obvious that there were people with top doors in the doorway before, and their fate was estimated to be very miserable after this shot.
