Chapter Seventy-Seven: Attacking the Wall
On the third day after the Lantern Festival, Huang Mengjia came to Mr. Yan to discuss how to deal with the government's recruitment. At this time www.biquge.info someone came to report that a team had appeared at the foot of the mountain and was rushing in the direction of the stockade. Huang Mengjia and Mr. Yan asked at the same time: "But officers and soldiers?"
The native soldier who reported the news shook his head and said with a hint of panic: "I didn't wear the fat jacket of the mandarin duck of the officers and soldiers, and it looked like the team I encountered in Chengmai County." ”
I was really afraid of something, Huang Mengjia stood up suddenly, shocked and angry: "This group of people is very hateful, even if they have fought twice, they still chase here!" ”
Mr. Yan asked the local soldiers who reported the news: "Only them, not a single officer and soldier?"
After getting a definite answer, Mr. Yan said to Huang Mengjia: "Don't panic, there are no officers and soldiers, only this private army, since they don't alarm the government, it is estimated that they have another purpose, and there is room for maneuver." ”
Huang Mengjia was distraught and paced back and forth: "What's the purpose?" We don't have any treasures, but there are caves that produce salt, but the Han people also have salt, which is not a big deal. ”
Mr. Yan said: "I don't know about this, but one thing I can be sure of is that those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come." The strength of our stockade is counted in the Li village of the entire Qiongzhou capital, flat field warfare is one thing, attacking the village is another, since they dare to come, they must have the means to break the village! ”
Thinking of the sharpness of the other party's firearms, Huang Mengjia couldn't help but lack confidence, "If this is the case, how is it good, I can accept Zhao'an in the face of the official army, but they are not the government, what should I do?" ”
"Let's take a look before we see what happens!"
Another native soldier came to report: "The other party has arrived outside the gate of the village and lined up in line." ”
It is also a knife to stretch out his head, and it is also a knife to shrink his head, Huang Mengjia gritted his teeth: "Go, go and see if they have three heads and six arms." ”
When they arrived at the wall of the wooden village, the two saw that three hundred paces outside the village, the escort had lined up in a long formation of two horizontal rows, with two cart-like guys in the middle, and a thick iron pipe in the middle. Huang Mengjia didn't recognize what it was, but Mr. Yan's face changed greatly: "It's a cannon, they actually have a cannon?" God, where is this private soldier, it is clearly more elite than the official army! ”
He hurriedly said to Huang Mengjia: "Lord Yu, the situation is different from what we imagined, our situation is very dangerous, they actually have cannons, this wooden wall will definitely not be able to stop them!" ”
In addition to the capital city in Qiongzhou, there is not a single decent cannon in the states and counties, Huang Mengjia has never seen a cannon, and said in confusion: "What is a cannon, is it also a firearm?" Could it be more powerful than their own bird's gun? In his opinion, killing the enemy against the invisible bird gun is already a great weapon.
Mr. Yan was in a hurry, his voice began to rise, completely lost the image of Sven in the past, and said loudly: "In the past, the imperial court and Jianyu Ningyuan fought a war, and the field battle was defeated by the old slaves, all relying on the sharpness of the artillery, before repelling the Jianyu army. ”
Huang Mengjia was a little dizzy, he could speak fluent Chinese, but he couldn't understand what Mr. Yan said, the words of the imperial court and Jianyu, the battle of Ningyuan, and the erosion of several miles contained a lot of information, and he didn't know what it represented.
Seeing that Huang Mengjia hadn't understood yet, Mr. Yan sighed, and he couldn't explain it to the Li local officials on this remote island for a while.
"All in all, their cannon is a firearm that is sharper than the bird's gun, and it can't be stopped, so the lord should have made a plan early!" Regardless of whether Huang Mengjia listens to his own opinions or not, Mr. Yan has already begun to look left and right to find a way out. It is true that he assisted Huang Mengjia, but he did not intend to die here in vain.
The opposite side began to shout: "Listen, the people who cut off the foot mountain, put down the knives and guns within the time of one stick of incense, open the gate of the village and surrender, otherwise the guns have no eyes, and your lives in the whole village will not be guaranteed!" ”
The native soldiers were in a commotion, although they had been defeated twice by this team, but field warfare and defending the city are two concepts after all, you can't beat you, let's defend the general guard, and surrender within a limited time, it's too arrogant!
Huang Mengjia's seven orifices were smoking, ignoring Mr. Yan's warning, and shouted wah: "The Han people are so domineering, my warriors who cut off their feet will fight to the death!" Fight with them! ”
Cutting off his feet is the capital of his life, if he accepts the government's recruitment, it is acceptable, anyway, it is just a false name, and the strength is still there. But opening the gate of the village and surrendering to the opposite team is equivalent to losing his old capital to others, although Qiongzhou is big, how can he still have a foothold in Huang Mengjia?
His prestige was still there, and the native soldiers raised their hooked knives and shouted to cheer themselves up.
The convoy was silent and stood quietly. There were just a few people busy removing some iron balls from the two-wheeled bikes, stacking them next to the iron pipes, and lighting torches.
Cutting the foot of the mountain looked at the action on the other side, didn't know what to do, and didn't dare to go out of the village to meet the enemy, just looked at it stupidly, and the two sides fell silent for a while.
After about half a pillar of incense, the other party began to shout again: "The time has come, you are killing yourself, don't blame our subordinates for being ruthless!" ”
The cunning Han people, obviously the time has not yet come, Huang Mengjia spat angrily and vented his dissatisfaction. For some reason, he was faintly afraid that this incense stick time would end prematurely, and the other party was so confident, which made him very insecure.
The two people on the opposite side lit a fire rope on the iron pipe at the same time, and from this side, two sparks were very conspicuous. A moment later, flames erupted from the mouths of the two iron pipes, accompanied by two loud bangs that almost simultaneously broke the eardrums of the earth soldiers, and their faces were as shocked as earth. They had never heard such a loud noise, and I was afraid that it would be nothing more than thunder from God.
Before they could understand what was going on, two iron balls roared, one smashed the wooden wall, how could the wooden plank material withstand the impact of the huge kinetic energy of the cannonball, and smashed a hole when they landed, and the native soldiers standing on it were unstable on their feet, many of them fell to the ground, and two of them fell directly from the wall. Another iron ball just flew from the top of the wooden wall, clicked a few times, two people were grazed, staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground, the back one was the worst, directly hit the chest by the iron ball, and fell directly to the wooden wall without snorting, flying a few meters before falling to the ground.
Huang Mengjia witnessed the power of this iron ball with his own eyes, one of the two people who was wiped had his left arm completely cut off, and the other had a small half of his face cut off the side, and the bones of his face were exposed. The surrounding soldiers panicked and retreated, as if the closer they got to the two men, the closer they were to death. Huang Mengjia panicked no less than them in his heart, and then looked at the person who was directly hit and flew down the wooden wall, a big hole was smashed in his chest, his ribs were broken, his flesh and blood were blurred, and he was already dead.
