Considering that the incendiary bomb was too powerful, Zhang Jingliang suddenly hesitated, why did he forget to prepare two bows and arrows before, otherwise he could shoot rockets for illumination.

Seeing this, Ma Wei patted the wall in front of the fort a little anxiously, "Hey, my regiment commander, it's all like this, where will there be other merchant ships coming, besides, if there is, they will also light the lights." ”

Zhang Jingliang slapped his forehead, "Okay, let's get a shot, but the muzzle of the gun is adjusted up a little." ”

"Haole", Ma Wei agreed with a smile on his face, and hurriedly instructed the personnel in the turret to load.

The barrel had already been cleaned, and when the propellant was packed into the chamber, the gunner used an iron drill to puncture the cartridge from the lead, and then stuffed the lead and ignited.

The incendiary bomb manufactured by the Ordnance Bureau is divided into two parts, the first half is a screw cap structure that can be removed, and the white phosphorus is temporarily loaded when loading, and the second half is a fixed explosive, which can be ignited directly.

Seeing that the prelude was still ready, another gunner in charge of loading took out the white phosphorus from the iron ammunition box with lightning speed, and without even shaking off the water stains on it, he stuffed it into the front of the incendiary bomb and rotated it a few times to seal it, and after igniting it, he carefully stuffed it through the muzzle and poked it.

White phosphorus is an extremely dangerous substance, but with Liu Ximing's later experience as a reference, Liujiacun saved a lot of unnecessary experiments and sacrifices.

The "Longxiang Artillery Operation Manual" stipulates that only trained professional gunners can operate incendiary bombs, and others are strictly prohibited from using them under any circumstances, and because white phosphorus will produce highly toxic smoke after combustion, it must fully consider factors such as wind direction and terrain when shooting.

The Fort of Hexi Town was nearly two feet above the river, and the southwest wind was blowing today.

"Boom," the fire eagle cannon let out a roar, and bursts of smoke from the burning of black powder rose from the fort.

When the Civil Engineering Bureau designed the turret, it was built in a semi-open manner, and the front half of the turret was open, considering the current situation.

A man standing at the back of the turret immediately stepped on the blower pedal set up at the doorway, and a gust of strong wind instantly blew out the black smoke in the turret.

"Bang", the incendiary projectile exploded in mid-air, and countless yellow fireworks burst out of the bomb, illuminating the river surface transparently, and the poisonous cloud of white phosphorus burning began to spread around.

"Enemy attack!"

Before Ma Wei could blow out the smoke that drifted into his nose, he immediately shouted heartbreakingly.

Zhang Jingliang rushed to the front of the fort, and saw that dozens of ships, large and small, had rushed through the fort and were rowing towards the port.

"Huh", "Huh", "Huh", he immediately picked up the copper whistle hanging around his neck and blew it desperately, with the sound of cannon fire and the shouts of the horses, Hexi Town and all the forts were all alarmed, and the lights were lit up in turn.

There were also some bold townspeople who looked outside, and saw that the Longxiang camp was already lined up at the port, and one by two shrank back in fright.

"Bastard, didn't you say they weren't defenseless?"

Wu Lin stood at the bow of the ship and heard the sound of cannons and sharp whistles coming from the fort on the left, knowing that he had been exposed, he was so angry that he scolded.

"Full speed ahead, everyone is ready to rush to the shore", Wu Lin kicked on the railing angrily, and immediately turned his head to his henchman Kong Jin and shouted, "Go and bring Qi Meng's gang of bastards to Lao Tzu, enter your mother, see if Lao Tzu doesn't kill you." ”

At this time, the incendiary bomb they fired also began to fall towards the river, and the white phosphorus fire cloud continued to release heat.

"Ahh

The five ships that were leaning behind were under the incendiary bombs, and as soon as the fire cloud approached the ships, the raging fire immediately broke out on the ship, and the exclamations and cries of the bandits on the ship continued to sound.

The white phosphorus fire cloud not only fell on the ship, but also many unlucky eggs were also contaminated with a lot, and the flames burned on them like bones, and the terrible screams made the scalps of the people next to them numb for a while.

"This fire can't be extinguished with water!"

Several firefighters screamed, and there was another panic on the deck.

"Try it with a blanket of felt," a smart person suggested loudly, and someone tried it and found it useful.

But at this time, the three boats near the center of the fire cloud had begun to ignite a fire, like three huge torches on the river, and the water bandits on the boat only felt that there was fire everywhere, and the people who were still busy fighting the fire saw that the other accomplices jumped into the river one after another, and were so frightened that they threw buckets and felt cloths and jumped into the water.

This scene made the people on the entire battlefield dumbfounded, and the water bandits in Bailongzhai were naturally shaken and frightened, and there were constantly water bandits forcing their accomplices to speed up rowing, and the remaining twenty or so boats were speeding towards the port as if they had taken aphrodisiacs.

"A bunch of fools, don't fucking load the shells, try two more incendiary bombs", Ma Wei saw this scene but his eyebrows fluttered, and he hurriedly stopped the gunner who wanted to get the ordinary shells.

Zhang Jingliang thought that these ships might be his own trophies in the future, how could he let Ma Wei just burn all the ships, just when he was about to stop it.

"Kill!"

Shouts of killing came from the slope behind the fort.

"111 tun, 112 tun, line up to block the enemy!"

Zhang Jingliang was anxious when he heard this voice, and rushed out of the fort with an arrow step, shouting at the two soldiers outside.

"Oops"

Just as they lit the torches, they suddenly found that there were three or four horses and antlers between them and the Longxiang camp, and a few of them ran fast and fell on the wooden horses.

111 Tun and 112 Tun were already squatting outside the fort to guard, and when they heard the voices of the thieves and Zhang Jingliang, the two tun commanders immediately reacted and shouted to their men to go into battle.

As soon as Zhang Jingliang came out of the fort, he saw that the thieves had already lit the torches, he quickly glanced at the two tuns that had been standing, and shouted: "Shoot in turn!" ”

"First column, shoot!"

"Slap", "Slap", "Slap"

The crisp sound of Long Xiang's two types of bullets sounded, and the wooden horses in front of him crackled with a rain of bullets, and more than a dozen water bandits were hit by bullets.

Shu Yong was in a cold sweat when he heard the gunshot, but fortunately he knew some inside information and knew that the Liu family had more firearms, so he deliberately leaned back when he charged just now.

"Keep rushing, there aren't many of them, archers, shoot forward!" , Shu Yong stood on tiptoe and looked ahead, and kept waving his hand to signal the water bandits behind him to press up.

Zhang Jingliang saw a group of people pressed up by the black pressure on the torch of the water bandits, I was afraid that there were not as many as four or five hundred people, so he swallowed his saliva in shock, picked up the copper whistle and blew it desperately.

"Boom" ~ "Boom" ~~ "Boom"

Two long and one short whistles reached the center of the town, Yu Yongkai raised his eyes and saw that the south fort was already on fire, but the north was still silent, knowing that this group of people should have come from the south tonight.

"Herald, tell the men of the northern fort to defend to the south!"

"Whoa!"

After Zhang Jingliang blew the whistle for help, he immediately used a telescope to observe the movements of the bandits, and the heads in the barrel kept shaking, and many archers began to gather behind the bandits, ready to shoot at him.

"There are bows and arrows, and there are shields!"

Shu Yong's water bandits took this opportunity to move away from the obstacles such as the rejection of horses in front of them one by one, and they were about to rush to the front of the Long Xiang camp.

"Throwing grenades", Zhang Jingliang hid by the door of the fort and commanded it in a unified manner.

More than a dozen explosions of "boom" and "boom" sounded, and the water bandits who had been surging with blood and qi were beaten back again, and one by two desperately squeezed backwards, and the crowd immediately became a mess.

Some of the alert ones began to run towards the unmanned area below the battery, hoping to break through to the town from where they were rejected.

Fortunately, Yu Yongkai reacted in time, at this time, the 113 Tun and 114 Tun, which were responsible for defending the northern fort, also ran over, Zhang Jingliang was overjoyed and immediately yelled at these two Tun: "113 Tun, 114 Tun, guard the road into the town, and fight back on the spot!" ”

"Array, first column, shoot!"

The two commanders of the 113th and 114th Tun heard Zhang Jingliang's shout and immediately ordered his men to shoot forward.

It is not for nothing that Shu Yong has been ranked third in Bailongzhai for a reason, he himself is a coward, and the people who follow him naturally follow suit.

The rain of bullets that followed by the Longxiang battalion suddenly wiped out all the courage of these people, and the people in the front row began to retreat constantly crying and shouting for their mothers.
