Battle of the Arsenal

After Wang Zezhi saw the map, he led a large group of soldiers and horses straight to Taiyuan Mansion.

The garrisons in Taiyuan Mansion were looking forward to it one by one, and they had been waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

When they saw the arrival of the high-spirited reinforcements, they suddenly came to their senses.

After Song Tongyin was dismissed, these people lost their backbone, and they were afraid that they would be beaten in by thieves and lose their lives.

There are even people who have already packed their packages and are ready to run away at any time.

Wang Zezhi entered Taiyuan City and took over the city defense.

The first thing he did was to imprison all the garrisons guarding the city.

According to Wang Zezhi's knowledge, when Li Zicheng attacked the city and plundered the land, many officers and soldiers in the city made an internal response, opened the city gate from the inside and let Li Zicheng enter the city.

He couldn't guard against it.

"Why?"

"Lao Tzu is guarding Taiyuan Mansion, there is no merit and hard work, why do you say that Lao Tzu will be locked up."

"I just came out of it, and I don't want to go in again in this life."

In order to defend Shanxi, Song Tongyin released many prisoners, as long as they killed the enemy and made meritorious contributions, Song Tongyin exempted them.

Now these people have become Wang Zezhi's biggest obstacle.

One by one, they are holding knives at each other, ready to rebel at any time.

"After ten breaths, lay down your arms and surrender on the spot, I can not blame the past, otherwise, I will be punished for the crime of treason, and the nine clans will be punished." Wang Zezhi looked at these people and said indifferently.

"You said let it go, do you think you are the king of heaven?"

"Even if the king of heaven is here, we won't let it go."

"Firecrackers, prepare, archers, prepare!" Seeing this, Wang Zezhi no longer hesitated and immediately ordered.

"Yo, who to scare, who hasn't screamed yet, brothers!"

"Attack!" Before the soldiers defending the city could react, Wang Zezhi's side had already begun to attack.

"Papapa~"

"Woo Woo Woo ~ "

The sound of guns sounded, and after the baptism of arrows, the rebellious garrisons in the city were killed and wounded.

Seeing this, the other garrisons hesitated in fear.

"Give you one more chance, lay down your arms!"

"Bang~"

When the first garrison laid down their arms, the entire garrison of the city gave up resistance.

Wang Zezhi collected their weapons and put them in custody.

Wang Zezhi ordered people to inform the whole city that there were fine works in the city, and during the war, everyone was not allowed to move around at will, but anyone who went out on the street at will was punished for the crime of fine work, and they were all arrested.

After doing these steps, Wang Zezhi summoned Xiao Liuzi to inquire about the situation in Yuci City.

"My lord, Yuci and Shouyang should open the city gates, and the thief king Jiayin has already attacked it."

"What? Immediately led 10,000 light cavalry to aid the two cities, followed by the steel armored heavy cavalry, and the fire gun soldiers plus 5,000 light cavalry escorted the artillery battalion to Yuci and Shouyang.

Our Fangshan guerrilla battalion is behind Shouyang, and these two cities must not be lost, otherwise our arsenal will be lost. ”

Wang Zezhi was immediately anxious when he heard Xiao Liuzi's report.

The Fangshan guerrilla battalion is his arsenal, and if the arsenal loses it, he will suffer heavy losses.

The herald went down to give the order, and Wang Zezhi's army immediately took action.

Yuci was not far from Taiyuan, and they arrived on the same day.

When Wang Zezhi's relatives arrived with 10,000 light horses, Yuci City had already been broken.

As far as the eye could see, there was wolf smoke everywhere, and the wails of the people who had lost their loved ones resounded through the world.

Wang Zezhi looked at Yuci City, which was burning with raging fires, and he knew that he was late.

"Accelerate forward and rush to the aid of Shouyang."

Shouyang is not far from Yuci, and by the time they arrived in Shouyang, it was also too late.

The sentry met a civilian and asked.

The city of Shouyang was broken, and Li Qiaokun, the magistrate of the county, committed suicide.

"Bang!"

"Coax~"

At this moment, Wang Zezhi heard a dull cannon sound, which was caused by too far away.

"Oops, guerrilla battalion! Quick, speed up! ”

Wang Zezhi ignored it, and whipped the war horse under the seat with a fierce swing.

The light cavalry brigade hastened to follow.

When Wang Zezhi heard the sound of cannons, he was shocked.

This gang of thieves has already beaten the guerrilla camp.

They moved quickly and with a clear purpose, as if to attack the guerrilla battalions.

With a "snap", a craftsman in the guerrilla camp who was good at casting Lu Mi Gong skillfully loaded ammunition and pulled the trigger, and the heavy Lu Mi Gong in his hand spewed out a fierce fire, and the projectile shot out rapidly.

After he finished shooting, he quickly lowered his head to dodge several sharp arrows that rushed towards him, but out of the corner of his eye, he still saw a long bloody arrow burst out of the chest of an enemy on the opposite side, and then fell to the ground.

Lu Mi's armor-piercing ability is really not covered, although the thief archer is wearing iron-inlaid cotton armor, but his body is pierced by him, there are two holes in the front and back, the hole in the back is bigger than the front, and you must not want to live.

The craftsman secretly cheered, praised his workmanship, kissed the Lumi gun he had forged with his own hands, and hid behind the walls of the guerrilla camp and reloaded nervously.

The craftsman was dressed in steel armor and carried a powder jar filled with propellant and a powder jar filled with a fire gate primer.

Carrying a lead bag full of projectiles, whether it is a fire door primer or a propellant, it is made of copper tubes, and each tube is exactly filled with a gun, and the equal portion.

He expertly took out a tube of fired gunpowder from his gunpowder canister and poured it into the gunpowder, which was also granular.

When pouring the medicine, Lu Mi's hand is used to being natural, and he uses his thumb and index finger to surround the mouth of the gunpowder to prevent the gunpowder from withdrawing, and he is powerless not far after the gunpowder is released.

If it was Wang Zezhi's firecrackers, they would be surprised to see their movements, these guys would be on par with them at the same level of playing.

Actually, any man likes things like muskets.

What's more, this is still a group of craftsmen who cast weapons, and in order to test the pass rate of weapons, they inevitably have to test fire.

He quickly took out the cane and made a few strokes of the gunpowder on the worm.

And he took a lead pellet from the lead bag, put it in, and brought it to the bottom of the puff with a rod.

Finally, he took out a tube of primer from the powder jar filled with the fire gate primer, but it was a finer particle of gunpowder, poured it into the fire gate pool, and closed the lid.

He moved quickly, and it didn't take much time to complete this dazzling series of movements.

When it was all done, he tapped the eye of fire, blew the arquebus, and tiptoed the Lumi gun on the battlement and began to aim.

He meditated, closed his left eye, and with his right eye looked at the back of the fire gadolinium, and aimed at the star in front of him, and aimed at an archer.

After careful viewing for a while, the craftsman decisively pulled the plate machine and "snapped", and the projectile pierced the right chest of the Tartar archer, shooting him diagonally and turning him out.

The craftsman shot down the thief, shouted loudly, and went on with his work.

At the head of the city, at the location of the city gate, Ma Huai and Zhao Can guarded the two cannons, commanding their craftsmen to load ammunition, put in flowering shells, aim and then go forward to ignite.

"Old Zhaotou, don't be unconvinced, I can be the director of this Foundry Bureau, I am stronger than you in casting cannons, and I am definitely better than you in fighting cannons."

"Hmph, let me tell you, your eye-jumping method is outdated, and you need to use gears, rangefinders, and sights."

Although Ma Huai became the director of the Foundry Bureau, Zhao Can did not accept him.

He installed gears, rangefinders, sights on the cannon he built with Ma Huai.

"What are you doing with so much nonsense, it's a mule or a horse, pull it out for a walk, see it, there's a leader there, one person and one cannon, whoever kills him first is right."

Ma Huai used the jumping eye method to compare the distance, and said to Zhao Can, who was turning the gear instrument on the side to aim.
