Chapter 45: I Repent
"It's over!"
"We're done!"
"This time, we're dead!" ……
The towers in the 100-meter area behind the gate of the cottage were full of bandits trembling and shivering.
One by one, when they saw the cannons and the huge formation of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, most of them were so frightened that they wailed!
What's more, we're just some ordinary bandits, we don't have guns, no guns, no guns, and we can't even get together a weapon!
Not only does it not have armor to protect itself, but there are only a few who can fight, is it worth it for the imperial court to make such a big noise to clean it up?
Look at the swarthy cannon mouth that points to the direction of the cottage, and there are many bandits, one by one, they want to kneel and beg for mercy.
"Huh?"
Lin Dexian changed his previous fierce color, trembling all over, pointing to the cannons in the distance with one hand trembling, looking at the more and more imperial army that appeared in the four sides of the cottage, he couldn't even speak.
He's really scared to pee now!
The crotch of the pants is wet, a little awkward, not to mention, and cold.
However, he couldn't care so much now, he was already frightened on the spot.
Such a massive anti-bandit action is estimated to have never been seen since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty.
Not to mention these court officers and soldiers, all dressed in black clothes and black armor, armed to the teeth, with guns and cannons!
Yes, you don't have to fight.
More than 100,000 bandits, now they are all scared half to death, and they don't even have the strength to stand up, where do they still have the courage to go into battle and kill?
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!" ……
Lin Dexian just wanted to ask the two brothers beside him who were like earth, whether they wanted to enter the secret passage and escape immediately, when he saw the direction of the main entrance of the cottage, a majestic court officer, the red flag in his hand waved forward!
The "rumbling" cannon sound suddenly made a big splash!
In the smoke of gunpowder, black dots fell towards the gate of the cottage, enveloping the area in a hundred zhang!
"Boom!" ……
The dense cannonballs exploded almost in no particular order, and in an instant, they lifted the huge cottage gate away!
Not only that, but the various towers near the gate are also the target of the attack!
The salvo of thirty powerful new Franc cannons was obviously overkill for attacking a cottage.
What's more, this is the latest type of flowering bomb.
A flowering bomb exploded, and within a radius of five meters, there was almost no grass.
It was only three rounds of salvos, and almost all the buildings in the 100-meter radius of the huge gate of the original cottage were completely destroyed by the fly!
Even the dozen or so tall towers were gone, and they looked like a mess.
The wooden blocks ignited by the bomb explosion also began to burn everywhere, and black smoke spread everywhere, like the end of the world.
"Artillery fire extends to shoot! The cannonballs that will be brought are all wiped out by Lao Tzu! ”
Seeing the tremendous power of this new cannon salvo, Liu Zongmin's face was flushed with excitement, and he immediately ordered.
This new type of Franc cannon has a maximum range of six or seven miles, and it can easily completely envelop this large cottage.
"Yes!"
Luo Jun, the commander of the artillery battalion, was also very excited.
Although he was the commander of the artillery battalion, he had never seen the power of a salvo of thirty cannons, and he could never have imagined that there would be such an earth-shattering effect.
The usual practice is mostly the practice of empty ammunition and loading, ranging, etc., and occasionally one or two shots, how can it be so enjoyable now?
This time, the Fifth Division brought a lot of shells, enough to bombard ten rounds.
"Reload!"
"Ready!"
"Launch!" ……
In the almost hoarse roar of the Luo army, rounds of shelling continued to be launched.
"Boom!" ……
The time of the incense stick passed, and the rumbling cannon finally stopped.
"I command!"
Liu Zongmin was holding a long-handled broadsword, and he had already made preparations, "The whole army charges!" Rebels, not a single one is left! ”
Before he finished speaking, he jumped off the big rock he was standing on, held the big knife in one hand, and began to sprint with all his might!
"Kill!"
"Kill all the bandits!"
"Rush!" ……
In an instant, the shouts of killing all over the mountains and fields rumbled over this great valley, comparable to bursts of thunder.
The 30,000 soldiers of the Fifth Division, like the surging tide, surged forward, and after a while, they entered the messy cottage and swept away rapidly!
However, to the surprise of the soldiers, they did not encounter the battle they imagined!
As far as the eye can see, there are wounded people lying on the ground wailing and bandits fleeing in all directions, and not even a single bandit has been found, daring to launch a counterattack against the soldiers!
Collapsed, this huge bandit station has been destroyed by artillery fire!
"You! Come here, Lao Tzu has something to ask you! ”
Liu Zongmin, who was extremely depressed, watched the soldiers collect prisoners all over the ground, and shouted at a nearby thief with eyebrows and rat eyes.
What's going on?
The soldiers didn't even encounter any battles, just traveled through the mountains and rivers, fired a few cannons, and then came to capture the prisoners?
"Official, spare your life!"
This bandit, who was already a fart and urine, was in tears, and he knelt down and kowtowed: "Official, I'm guilty!" ”
"I repent!"
"I want to reveal that the bandit leader, the three Lin brothers, has been killed by the cannon, and the other two who were injured by the explosion escaped along the secret passage in the back mountain with more than 100 henchmen!"
Ran away?
How does this work?
Liu Zongmin looked around in all directions, and found that from all sides of the cottage, endless black-clothed and black-armored soldiers were pouring in, and he was suddenly in a hurry!
"Yang Yongqiang, you immediately escort this guy to find the body of the bandit leader who was killed by artillery fire, and General Ben will lead people to pursue the two bandit leaders who escaped!"
Time was pressing, Liu Zongmin didn't want to delay at all, said to the deputy general beside him, and immediately led a battalion of soldiers to rush towards the back mountain regardless of it.
In fact, Liu Zongmin knew that all the large and small exits around this Dafang Mountain had been surrounded and blocked by the soldiers of the New Army, and those bandits who fled could not escape at all.
Even if there is a secret passage, it is impossible for the secret passage to go beyond this Dafang Mountain.
It's just that in that way, his action has a little bit of anticlimactic meaning.
Personally break through the cottage and capture all the bandit leaders with your own hands.
This kind of very tempting work, isn't it fragrant?
Therefore, Liu Zongmin, this guy, now wants to take over the merits and capture the remaining two bandit leaders.
At that time, the five-party divine beast field army that the emperor was about to form must have its own place, and it was not cool or crooked?
It's good to be angry that wild man!
