With Yang Zhen's order, the officials and soldiers who had been waiting a little anxiously were clamoring. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, these 500 officers and soldiers did not immediately launch a frontal onslaught on Baijia Village, but quickly pushed the stone throwing machines more than one person high from behind according to the previous arrangement.

Seeing that the officials and soldiers suddenly put on such a posture, those White Lotus Sect disciples who were closely staring at the movement outside were suddenly stunned, to be honest, these people didn't even understand what this thing that was put in front of them by the officials and soldiers was.

But soon, they realized the terrifying power of these seemingly simple wooden stone throwers. At the sound of the command, the low-hanging net pockets in the rear were filled with stones of various sizes - just now, when the officers and soldiers were waiting outside the village, they did not wait, but gathered the surrounding stones, which now came in handy.

Then, the front end of the stone throwing machine, which was originally raised high, suddenly sank, causing the back swing to bounce into the air in a very violent and rapid way, and the scattered stones in the net pocket were thrown out fiercely and smashed towards Baijia Village.

With a whistling sound, stones fell from the sky like hailstones, covering the whole village, and the stones that flew by inertia smashed heavily through the roofs of the houses that were still intact, and penetrated into the houses, causing deep pits in them; Others hit a few trees in the village, breaking their branches and flying until the trees shook for a while. And more of them were directly smashed in every corner of the village, and the banging sound was endless.

This time, the White Lotus Sect who was hiding in these places, planning to give the officials and soldiers a dismount, and sneak attack them, was killed. Many people didn't even have time to react, they were hit by stones and their heads were bleeding, screaming again and again, and they didn't care about revealing their location at this time, so they hurriedly got out of the shadows and walked away in a hurry.

But obviously, the officers and soldiers didn't give them a chance to dodge at all, and with a new round of passwords, those soldiers continued to repeat the action just now with expressionless faces, and then another stone rain fell on Baijia Village, beating those White Lotus Sectists who came out to the ground, and then they all fell to the ground one by one.

Seeing that a burst of stones fell down and twenty or thirty ambushers were killed, the mood of the officers and soldiers was even higher. They knew very well that if Lord Yang did not have this arrangement, and he rushed into the village, these enemies who were now watching the passive beating and miserable would bring great harm to themselves. Thinking of this, they had no mercy at all, and quickly threw nets of gravel into the village, so that the people there had no room to dodge.

Seeing this situation, Shen Jie, who had some opinions about Yang Zhen's insistence on bringing these slightly cumbersome stone throwers, looked at Yang Zhen again, and his eyes were full of admiration. Although this Lord Yang said that he would not lead troops, he was much stronger than himself when it came time to use troops, and the use of troops was so unconventional, who would have thought that when they came to suppress thieves, they would actually use such big weapons that would only be used when the two armies faced off.

From time to now, with the evolution of tactics, heavy weapons such as stone throwers have been gradually replaced by sharper artillery, especially in the northern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty, because of the popularity of firearms, few people have used them to defend the city. But no one uses it, it doesn't mean that no one knows the power of this weapon on some battlefields, and Xiao Duo, who came from Datong, has studied it a lot.

After experiencing the previous offensive and defensive battles, he was also wary, so he ordered people to create this kind of seemingly simple, but can play a big role in the battle, after all, the firearms here in the southwest are far less than in the north, and it is also a good choice to use this more primitive weapon to compete with the enemy. However, it is a pity that since then, the city of Guilin has not been attacked by rebels, so that these weapons are useless, and it is only today that Yang Zhen was transferred out of the city.

And in just a few rounds of throwing, this already dilapidated and deserted small village has been completely destroyed, and the White Lotus Sect hidden in it is either dead or wounded, and it is difficult to pose any threat to the official army.

Looking at such a result, Yang Zhen didn't have too many smiles on his face, all of this had already been expected by him. In fact, when he learned of the situation and was about to lead an army to attack this Baijia Village, he had already decided to attack them in the same way that the army was fighting, instead of the old way of taking thieves. Obviously, the effect of this time is extremely obvious. If it weren't for the fact that the artillery in the city was too heavy, and the gunpowder transported from Huguang was too expensive, he would have people bombard this small village with artillery, and send you to the sky wherever the people of the White Lotus Sect hid!

Seeing that the village was completely destroyed, but no one from the White Lotus Sect ran out, Yang Zhen's eyes narrowed again. Obviously, this round of attacks can only knock out the enemies who are hiding on the surface, but those who are hiding elsewhere will not be affected. But it didn't matter, he didn't do more than that, after another round of stone throwing, Yang Zhen turned around and gave a new order to the people behind him......

Listening to the constant whistling of stones overhead, as well as the heavy sound of destruction hitting the house, all the people of the White Lotus Sect below Xu Jinghong turned white, which was both shocked and angry. These officers and soldiers were so cunning that they actually used such moves, which not only made their previous arrangements completely useless, but also caused many sect members to die tragically on them.

But they also have a little luck, fortunately they are hiding here, but they are not afraid that those stones can penetrate the ground several feet thick after hitting the ground and hurt the people inside.

That's right, in fact, the real White Lotus Sect Altar has always been hidden deep in the underground of this Baijia Village. Only by arranging it this way can they safely hide in a place only twenty miles away from Guilin City!

They had already planned, once the official army attacked, the people above would first ambush, after killing the enemy in chaos, the people underground would take advantage of the situation to attack, and they would be able to defeat the official army with less, and even break through the siege.

But now it seems that things are not as simple as they expected. Just a few rounds of stone throwing attacks have destroyed all the arrangements above them, and the people below have suddenly become lone all the way.

However, Xu Jinghong will not admit defeat so easily, he believes that after the attack of these stone throwers, the official army will still attack the village, and they will still have a chance to fight back at that time. These sect members around him are all elites in the sect, and all of them have good martial arts, and they are all existences that can be used as ten. As long as the officers and soldiers come in, the situation will change.

"You don't have to be discouraged, if the officers and soldiers want to deal with us, they still have to come in. Although there are 500 of them, in terms of true strength, they are far from being our opponents. As long as the catapult stops, our chance has arrived. Seeing that the congregationists were a little uneasy, Xu Jinghong gave a few words of encouragement.

Those people were a little more stable at this time, and at the same time, there was a bloodthirsty look in their eyes, this feeling of being pressed and beaten was too aggrieved, and when the officers and soldiers came in, they would definitely teach each other a lesson!

Seeing that everyone finally had some momentum, Xu Jinghong was even more relieved, and a hint of fierceness appeared in his eyes.

As if to confirm his words, soon, the movement above his head stopped, which made everyone feel a commotion again, obviously the officials and soldiers saw that it was difficult to achieve anything, so they stopped throwing stones and planned to attack in!

Xu Jinghong immediately took the lead and walked towards the exit, and ordered: "Fight with them for a while, be sure to move with all your might, and don't give them any chance!" ”

"Yes! Obey the Lord's Decree! Everyone hurriedly agreed in unison, and walked out immediately behind him.

But just as they were about to reach the exit, there was a strange whistling sound from above in the distance, and it sounded much louder than before. This made everyone stunned, and their puzzled eyes fell on their own sect leader, and Xu Jinghong was also at a loss, not knowing what the officials and soldiers were doing, did they want to lure themselves to wait out?

The thing that fell from the sky finally landed, but instead of the previous stones, it just thumped, but made a loud noise, as if it had been smashed into some crockpots.

Just when everyone was still surprised, Xu Jinghong's expression suddenly changed: "It's not good, this official army is really vicious!" ”

At this time, he knew what the official army was fighting in mind, they didn't mean to directly attack the village at all, they came here to destroy themselves and others, but killing themselves didn't necessarily have to rush in to face off head-on, and it was not impossible to use some other methods!

Outside the village, after ordering people to throw those heavy canisters filled with spirits and fire oil into the village, and instantly exploded, flowing the liquid inside to every corner, Yang Zhen's face showed a cruel smile: "Prepare the rocket!" ”

The soldiers were already ready, and quickly ignited the cloth in front of the rockets, and one rocket after another showed a dazzling red light in the slowly darkening sky.

As Yang Zhen shouted a word, hundreds of rockets were already whizzing towards Baijia Village. After landing, it set the whole village on fire with a thud.

The houses in this small village are mostly made of wood, and they are already very easy to burn in case of fire, but now they are covered with extremely flammable wine and oil, which is even more out of control when it is touched by fire. I only heard a chaotic sound, and the fire quickly spread in this dilapidated village, and the flames quickly engulfed all the buildings, and the entire Baijia Village had turned into a sea of fire in the blink of an eye.

Yang Zhen outside the village quietly looked at everything he had created, his eyes were full of murderous intent, the enemy should not be able to hide!
