Chapter 367: Exploding
Although the contest failed, the test was still to be carried out.
Xu Ning commanded the forbidden army to drive a passage through the crowd of onlookers, and Bai Sheng went to the test site with the support of Feng Nandu and Yi Xiao. His two arms were on the shoulders of Feng Yi and the others, dragging one lame leg, and the other leg was basically in a state of inadequacy.
Bai Sheng passed, and the forbidden army also withdrew around the ring, leaving only one ring for Yuan Xi folk artists to perform on stage.
The audience also followed behind to the other side of Aoshan, and Wu Zhuangyuan's performance was certainly disappointing, but the test firing of artillery was still a hot spot of attention.
The test site was also heavily guarded, surrounded by a thousand forbidden troops, four cannons had been set up and loaded, and the muzzles of the guns were aimed at dozens of goats hanging from the branches of the trees on the mountain, and the fuse could be ignited only when Bai Sheng came to give the order to open fire.
Feng Nandu and Yi Xiao brought Bai Sheng to the cannon and put it down, and then retreated to the forbidden army array.
Ling Zhen, who was already waiting at the gun position, came over and reported loudly to Bai Sheng: "General Bai, your subordinates have already prepared, please give the general the order to shoot!"
Bai Sheng nodded and said, "Very good, you can step down." ”
Ling Zhen said with some apprehension: "General, you really want to be so ......"
Bai Sheng kicked his eyes: "No need to say more, retreat!"
Ling Zhen sighed and retreated silently.
Four guns, each gun is equipped with four gunners, and together with Bai Sheng, a total of seventeen people stand near the left side of the gun position.
Seeing Ling Zhen withdraw from the gun position, Bai Sheng shouted: "Ignite, fire!"
Immediately, four people each pointed the fuses of the four guns.
At this time, the night has quietly fallen, the sky and the earth are hazy and dim, and the "snort" burning lead is extremely dazzling in the haze, even the onlookers outside the forbidden army can see the shining light of the lead.
At the moment when the lead was about to burn out and sink into the cannon body, Lorida shouted: "Bai Sheng!"
Bai Sheng immediately shook his head when he heard the sound, and the reason why he shook was because of the inconvenience of his legs and feet.
At the same time, only four deafening roars were heard, and four large fireballs exploded on the gun position, and people were shocked to see that in the dazzling firelight, all seventeen people, including Bai Sheng, were blown into the air.
"Something's wrong!"
"Bai Sheng was blown up!"
All of a sudden, all kinds of exclamations came and went, the sound had passed, the firelight had passed, and when the smoke of gunpowder was not over, Feng Nandu, Yi Xiao, Luo Lida, Shui Ningzhu, Ling Zhen and others all rushed up.
"Bai Sheng!"
"General White!"
"Bai Sheng, wake up!"
"Brother Bai, you speak!" Lorida was already crying.
"Bai Gongzi, are you still alive?" Shui Ningzhu was also crying.
Xu Ning didn't rush up, Xu Ning stood in the array of the forbidden army and was stunned, it's over, my set of treasure armor is over.
He believed that even the explosion of the cannon chamber loaded with iron sand would not be enough to penetrate his ancestral armor, but after this explosion and smoke, it was afraid that it would no longer be able to scrub it clean.
Even if you die in vain, why bother with my family's set of treasure armor?
According to Bai Sheng's previous arrangement, Xu Ning's task was to lead 2,500 forbidden troops to protect the scene and strictly prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos to enter the test firing site.
Among the onlookers, Song Jiang smiled, and said in his heart that it would be a good thing for Bai Sheng to die like this, even the Xuannu Niangniang couldn't blame me, this matter had nothing to do with me Song Jiang.
Thinking of this, he said to the brothers around him: "Since this is the case, let's not wait for Wu Song, let's go back first, it is always not reliable to stay in the capital." ”
Obviously, under such an explosion, the possibility of Bai Sheng surviving is very small, even if he does not die, he will have to be crippled, since he is still in the capital, why do you stay in the capital?
Indeed, after they infiltrated the capital, they heard that the whole city was searching for assassins, if it weren't for the fact that the arresters focused on women, and if it weren't for the care of Lu Junyi of the Imperial Boxing Gym and Uncle Wei Guo of Fan Lou, they would not have been able to avoid the constant search of the arresters day and night, and they would have been arrested in Kaifeng Mansion long ago.
Lu Junyi said: "It's okay, let's go out of the city together, Lu has already visited his teacher, and it's time to go home." ”
Even if Bai Sheng couldn't do this, he lost interest in cleaning up the portal.
The three or four generations of disciples in the Imperial Boxing Gym are mixed, as long as they have a certain talent for martial arts training, and then pay enough tuition fees to be included, not to mention whether people like Bai Sheng should be cleaned up, even if they should be cleaned up, there is no need for a character like him to take action.
With Bai Sheng's kung fu, Cao Zheng is enough to deal with it, killing chickens with a knife?
As for what Zhao Kai said about how powerful Bai Sheng is, he can defeat the Zhanshou of Nanxia Boxing Gym with a set of Xiaohong Boxing, and he can use golden needles to point points and create subsidence with internal force, it must be an exaggeration.
He hadn't seen the scene where Bai Sheng had created the subsidence, which was located in the center of the martial arts arena of the Imperial Boxing Gym, and had already been filled with dirt and paved with green bricks.
Everyone had just discussed it properly, and when they were about to leave, hundreds of forbidden troops walked over quickly, opening a passage beside Song Jiang and the others, and then several people in the field carried Bai Sheng out of the passage, discussing the whereabouts of gossiping.
"Quickly carry it to the Taiyi Bureau for treatment. ”
"Let's carry it to Taishi's Mansion and see if the masters around Taishi Cai can be saved. ”
"Can't you find Antao?"
When people were carrying Bai Sheng past him, Lu Junyi took a closer look at Bai Sheng, and saw that the golden armor on his body had turned into a black armor, like charcoal burned in a fire, which was very similar to Li Kui.
couldn't help but sigh, and softly came to a conclusion: "This is really self-inflicted, you can't live!"
Bai Sheng, who was pretending to be dead, heard Lu Junyi's sarcasm, and couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Who doesn't know that you took Yan Qing to the capital, do you know that your wife Jia Shi and housekeeper Li Gu who stayed at home are slapping?
Except for Bai Sheng and Di Lie's four generals, no one knew that Bai Sheng's defeat in this competition was deliberately faked.
Except for the above-mentioned people and Ling Zhen, no one knew that the artillery bombing was directed by Bai Sheng.
As an artillery expert, Ling Zhen certainly knew the principle of artillery bombing, and the current artillery explosion incident was deliberately created by him according to Bai Sheng's requirements.
This accident did kill 16 people, and those 16 people were all death row prisoners proposed by Bai Sheng from Kaifeng Prefecture, and most of them were those who raped women, mutilated children, and killed their biological fathers and humiliated their biological mothers.
Of course, the reason why Bai Sheng directed these good plays was not for Song Jiang and others to see, and Bai Sheng didn't know that Song Jiang and Chao Gai would rush to the scene to watch his "performance" at this time.
Bai Sheng's performance was for the spies in the capital to see in the Western Xia Yipintang.
From the accounts of Di Lie and Zhou Cheng, it can be known that as early as the Song Zhenzong period, the spies of the Western Xia Yipintang had taken root in the capital, so that the Western Xia court and military direction knew the military and political situation of the Great Song Dynasty well.
By the time Zhao Ji ascended the throne, these spies had become natives of Kaifeng, and it was almost impossible to pull them out of the common people of Kaifeng.
Moreover, the court of the Great Song Dynasty has always been like a leaky sieve, and the civil and military officials do not understand the principle of secrecy at all, Bai Sheng knows very well that it is impossible for him to hang the vanguard and transfer Xu Ning and Ling Zhen without being known by Western Xia.
Since this is the case, let's make a show to these spies, let them think that Bai Sheng, the vanguard officer of the Great Song Dynasty, is just a wine bag and rice bag, and let them think that the artillery of the Great Song Dynasty is just waste that can only blow up their own people, which is a strategy to be proud of the enemy.
This is one of Sun Tzu's thirteen tricks in the "Art of War", which means that the enemy will be arrogant if he despises us. Arrogance can make the enemy let down their guard and mentally disarm the opponent.
Although Bai Sheng does not understand the art of war, the method he came up with based on the war films of later film and television works coincides with Sun Tzu's Art of War, no wonder Di Lie is amazed by it.
The next day, news spread in the capital: Bai Sheng, the pioneer officer of the Western Expedition, was crippled with both hands and feet, and Ling Zhen and Xu Ning were fired for failing to implement military orders and left the forbidden army.
