Hearing this shout, Shang Jiabao, who had just coughed, immediately looked out.

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

I heard only the sound of drums.

"Tiger..."

"Tiger..."

"Tiger..."

The bandit army outside the city shouted one after another, and the appearance of marching in unison in the distance seemed to be approaching the army.

"What's going on? Are they trying to attack the city? What are these big buckets for? Shang Jiabao looked at the iron buckets that were half-buried in the ground about sixty zhang outside the city gate, and asked puzzledly.

These drums are estimated to be more than a hundred. It is divided into two lanes, and the middle of the two is separated by one and a half zhang, and each iron bucket is separated by a small distance of half a zhang.

"Are these cannons?" Looking at this big iron bucket buried in front of the city gate, Bal Hu. Taifeng couldn't help but guess and replied.

But then, he denied his claim.

"If it's a cannon, there's no reason why it's such a thin iron barrel! I'm afraid I blow myself up before I even launch. "Bal Tiger. Taifeng said.

"You have a point." Shang Jiabao also nodded approvingly.

With the sound of the drums of the bandit army, the men and horses buried in the iron barrels retreated one after another. Not only the men and horses who had buried the barrels, but also the musketeers who were defending on both sides retreated.

Everything is strange, so that the defenders at the head of the city gate are rarely unable to see through.

At this time, he heard a guard shouting at the head of the city.

"Look, there's smoke rising from behind those buried iron barrels."

After all, human eyesight is limited, and it is not easy to see those slight liters of fire smoke from a distance of 150 meters. But after all, there are some people who have a sharper eye and can spot this small change.

At the time of this call, the smoke was not yet noticeable. In particular, there was a breeze blowing and scattering the smoke.

After a minute, though. With the wind cessating and the burning ropes, smoke was constantly generated. Many people can see the smoke from the burning rope even if they can't see the fire on the ground.

"This thief really wants to use these big iron buckets as red-clothed cannons?" Bal Tiger. Taifeng and Shang Jiabao looked at each other and said in disbelief.

"Is this me stupid or is the thief outside the city too stupid, or the thief outside the city is too arrogant. This red-coated cannon is really so easy, and the imperial court doesn't have to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to cast it. ”

"General, Counselor. I guessed what those thieves were thinking. "Next to the two of them is a leader Hu Xi. He also clenched his fists and said.

"Speak quickly!" Shang Jiabao couldn't wait to order.

"Yes, General." HU Xi. Also tooth back.

"Come to think of it, this thief is not going to use these buried iron barrels as red-clothed cannons. They probably thought that the iron bucket was buried in the ground, with the power of the mud. If this cannon can be shot, it will be shot, and if it can't be shot, it will make some sound even if it is exploded. Wouldn't that scare us and others so that they could buy some time for the siege. ”

HU Xi. Ye Ya said that he had already seen through their routines, and he couldn't help but laugh at them. Immediately, he bowed his head with a respectful fist, waiting for the two superiors to understand his judgment.

"yes, I didn't think of that. Okay, yes, it's a good mind. "After listening to Hu Xi. Also tooth after the words of the Bal Tiger. Taifeng quickly walked to Hu Xi. Yaya's side patted him on the shoulder and complimented.

"Thank you for your compliments, this is all the cultivation of the Counsellor for his humble duties." HU Xi. Yaya is also a high hat and went back.

"Come on, you kid don't have to be humble, it's your credit to you." Bal Tiger. Taifeng said with a smile on his face.

"General, do you think there is any truth to this statement?"

"Well, most likely. Why else would they go away? It is estimated that he was afraid of exploding, so he avoided it. Shang Jiabao touched his chin, which was also a reply of approval.

"Anyone who is smarter knows that, though. If you bury it, you can't stop the explosion. And they're buried so far away, and the mouth of those barrels is so big, it's strange if they can shoot cannonballs. ”

"Alishe, go and call all the soldiers below to the city road to defend. After these iron barrels are blown up, we must let those who dare to attack the thieves know that the warriors of our Great Qing Dynasty are not comparable to them such a jumping clown, and let them understand what it means to have no return. Shang Jiabao commanded domineeringly to the flag officer beside him.

"Hey, the minion understands." After the flag officer Alishe made a swing with his hands, he quickly knelt on the ground and received the order.

By the time Alisher descended the staircase to deliver the order, the evacuated bandit soldiers had already begun to walk away. They even began to cover their ears and look at the buried iron buckets.

"Bang... Boom... Bang..."

At this time, the iron bucket that was ignited did not explode as Shang Jiabao and the others thought.

I saw a burst of fire coming out of the mouth of the barrel, and after a powerful loud sound, huge bursts of thick gunpowder smoke came out of the mouths of each iron barrel. In front of the cigarette flew huge clumps of something. The power of this thing's explosion as the black powder in the iron barrel was ignited, quickly flew towards the entire city gate section.

"Hide, everybody!" After looking at the things that flew out, Shang Jiabao hurriedly shouted.

Although Shang Jiabao didn't see what it was, what came out of such a large iron bucket, even if it was a ball of mud, anyone would have to die if it was smashed.

"Didn't you blow it up? What flew out. At this moment, Shang Jiabao, who had already fallen on the city road, thought of it completely incomprehensibly.

"Boom... Boom..."

The explosives that flew to the head of the city continued to explode with the lead, and the bursting air waves formed a stream of wind, and the air flow with gunpowder smoke blew towards the bandit army.

The powerful explosion made the soldiers of the bandit army in the distance all gasp, and some of the timid even trembled.

"It's terrible, but I'm glad I surrendered. Otherwise, if he received such a critical hit, even ten lives would not be enough to die. Sun Xizheng, Zhang Fangyi, Liu Datong and others, who were invited to visit the siege of the city, all looked at each other and thought about it.

"I didn't expect this conscienceless cannon to be so powerful, just listening to this sound, it was enough for those Manchu Tartars in the city. It's a pity that the time is too rushed, otherwise we can get more out of it, so that they can understand what the fate of daring to resist us is. Zhang Rui sighed.

After listening to Zhang Rui's statement, Wang Kaiyuan felt that he couldn't cry or laugh.

The explosion caused by the two conscienceless cannons was only a minute or so, but its power had already made Ma Jiulu understand why Zhang Rui was not in a hurry to storm the city before.

"Brother Affection asked the big guy to eat first, which was to give them more time, so that they could find more people to come and guard the city. Just this explosion, how many deaths will not come? ”
