Chapter 227: The Demon Is in the World

The third apprentice could take care of anything else, so he directly took his mount and helped Xiao Han and Liu's mother and daughter to get on the horse: "Catch up with Xiaobao, don't worry about the ...... behind"

Before the words fell, a young woman in filial piety had already led a little girl to run to her, and immediately knelt down: "Little aunt, aunt, aunt...... Please, bring Sister Yuan......"

It is inconvenient to ride two horses and two horses.

The third disciple did not hesitate at all, and directly asked the girl to get on the horse.

Xiao Han's body stiffened.

Liu had already reached over and pulled his niece on the horse, allowing her to sit between mother and daughter.

"Mother...... A-Niang ......"

Sister Yuan couldn't stop her tears and reached out to the young woman.

"Go, go!"

The young woman choked up and hurriedly waved her hand.

Mother and daughter are connected, where can Sister Yuan give up?

"Auntie......"

The little girl couldn't help but turn around and beg.

Liu's heart softened, and the young woman who looked at her sister-in-law and cousin also hesitated and couldn't bear it.

Xiao Han, who was holding the reins of the horse in front, turned pale, reined in the reins of the horse, and chased in the direction of the Chuzhou army.

One horse and three people, it is already difficult to walk, can one horse and four people not be successful?

It's really a big beast, a natural white-eyed wolf.

Did she think that if she begged for a word, she would be able to let others get off the horse and exchange her mother's life?

The Bozhou army was camped before, and it was very dense.

Except for Liu Biao, who was the fastest, he ran the fastest, and out of the range of artillery, Tu San and the 4,000 men and horses of the Han family were within range.

For a while, flesh and blood flew sideways, crying dad and calling mother.

Most of the Bozhou soldiers were peasant soldiers, and they were all unfamiliar with the word "artillery".

Such a shaking posture is regarded by most people as Tianwei.

"Run, the earth dragon rolls over!"

"It's a fire dragon!"

"King Ming is angry!"

“……”

Qianhu and Qu Chang were powerless to restrain the soldiers of the defeated camp, and watched everyone scatter.

There were smart soldiers, so they chased in the direction of the Chuzhou army.

The Chuzhou army started early, and all of them accelerated, and they were already out of range.

The foot soldiers trotted in front, and the cavalry guards in the rear, and when they saw the soldiers who had run away, they pulled people on their horses.

Basically, there are two people and two riders, even Huo Bao, Ma Zhai and others are no exception.

Huo Bao was angry.

That's artillery, nothing else!

The local armament was insufficient, and even the artillery of the Jinling Naval Division became an ornament.

The artillery of the Jinling battalion has long become a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron.

The last time I saw artillery, it was a counterinsurgency army dispatched by the imperial court.

How much of a "blessing" is it to be able to see artillery this time?

Where is the artillery in this Huainan Province?

There is only one place, which is Yangzhou Mansion and the defenders of Huainan Road.

The commander of the defenders of Huainan Province was a member of the queen family, and there were Yangzhou salt merchants who paid for silver, so it was not uncommon for them to be equipped with artillery.

It was here in the Chuzhou Army that after seeing the two artillery pieces captured by Huo Bao, they also started the idea of artillery.

Huo Wu not only wrote a letter to the brothers of the Jia family in Jinling mentioning this matter, but also arranged for someone to investigate Yangzhou.

It's just that the Yangzhou defenders have a deep relationship with the imperial court, and it's not easy to buy it.

As for the local gentry, they are all masters who are not bad for money.

This artillery news has not yet been believed.

What you see today is faith.

Some people in Yangzhou have ill intentions and release the weapon of artillery.

After running out for three or four miles, the soldiers in front of him were exhausted, and the owner of the horse village asked people to rest on the spot.

His face was very ugly, and he turned his horse's head to look back at the hillside ahead.

There were more than a dozen fireworks, and the eyes were full of scattered soldiers.

"Damn, it's time to set fire to these beasts in the morning!"

The master of the horse village cursed.

Shui Jin also said indignantly: "Someone is playing ghost behind Liu Er's back!" I just don't know whether to deal with the Bozhou army or our Chuzhou! ”

Wang Qianhu followed, and finally got time, and talked about the discovery of artillery: "In the afternoon of the day before yesterday, someone heard the sound of Chushan cannons and reported to the state capital...... It was really too close to Yongyang, and I was afraid that an enemy army would come to the state capital, so I didn't dare to move lightly, so I asked people to secretly go into the mountains to investigate, and at the same time, I also sent a letter to Jinling under martial law in the state capital......"

Huo Bao also talked about his previous discovery on the opposite hillside: "The few pits scattered in the northwest corner are too abrupt and do not look harmonious with other patterns...... It's like she's hiding something...... When I went to look around, I found that the ground was covered with new earth, and there were traces of gunpowder underneath......"

The owner of the horse village touched his head and said, "Damn, this thing is too powerful...... If you really use this to attack the city, Chuzhou really can't keep it! ”

The owner of the horse village looks at the kind, uncaring temperament, and is indeed very courageous.

He weighed it in his heart, looked at Chuzhou not far away and the Black Python Mountain Range behind, gritted his teeth and said: "The cannon sound is so dense, it's not just three or two...... Can't let them go......"

Huo Bao and Shui Jin were silent.

Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets.

But before life, they have to be backward.

Liu Er has such a temperament, leading 7,000 soldiers, and carrying the power of artillery, if he really wants to crisscross Chuzhou, the foundation laid by the Chuzhou army before will be destroyed, and I don't know how many soldiers and people have died in vain.

Huo Bao pointed to the gun carriage that appeared on the hillside, as well as the dense forest in the distance, and said, "This cannon has a limited range, between eighty and two hundred zhang...... Look at the direction, it should come from the direction of the dense forest......"

Burning people at the moment is not the main thing, first of all, burn those artillery.

The establishment of the main army of the Chuzhou Army was originally based on the establishment of the Huo Bao Scouts, and it was also divided into five armies, scouts, spearmen, sword soldiers, archers, and auxiliaries.

The lord of the horse village immediately dispatched 200 scouts and 200 archers, and set fire to the forest after a detour.

"Arson is the main thing, you don't have to fight!"

The master of the horse village gave the order to go down.

The scouts and archers were ordered to go.

Shui Jin looked at the previous station, frowned, and said, "The third master didn't run, and led people to fight back!" ”

As he spoke, he heard two more cannon shots, "bang" and "bang".

The place where the shells landed was in the direction of the Tusan counteroffensive.

Huo Bao's heart rose to his throat.

No, the founding monarch of a generation, that's it......

But he thought too much, and a familiar figure in the smoke of gunpowder moved forward bravely.

The water was swallowed and foamed, not daring to blink.

The owner of the horse village also stared wide-eyed, and couldn't help but praise his courage in his heart.

At this time, whether it was Liu Biao, who led the soldiers to flee first, or Xiao Han, who was riding three horses, they all caught up with the Chuzhou army.

Liu Biao strode over, ran directly to the master of the horse village, and pleaded: "Sixth Master Ma!" ”

"Don't worry, I've called someone over there to burn the mountain!"

The master of the horse village pointed to the forest behind the gun carriage and said.

Liu Biao sat on the ground one by one, panting vigorously.

In a hurry, he gave up his mount to the two little brothers, and he ran over with the soldiers, and he was tired enough.

The three of Xiao Han's are also described as embarrassed.

Liu Biao didn't want to step forward.

Because of the tragic death of his uncle, he hated Liu Er, the culprit, and was also angry with the Han family who gave birth to Liu Er, a brute.

These three people, one is the daughter of the Han family, and the other is from the daughter of the Han family, and he is already afraid in his heart.

No matter how kind Mrs. Han is, she can raise a mother like Liu Da and Liu Er, where can she be pure?

There is also Mrs. Xiao Han here, the concubine, who only gave birth to one daughter, but she has been on par with her cousin for more than ten years, and she is not a good person.

It is also inconvenient for the owner of the horse village to greet Xiao Han.

Xiao Han is in her thirties, with a slender physique, with a curtain, and looks like a sister to Liu.

"Auntie......"

In this way, when he stepped forward to greet the three of Xiao Han's family, there was only Huo Bao alone.

He called Liu, and it was very difficult for Xiao Han to be embarrassed, so he skipped not calling anyone.

The last time he met everyone in Bozhou in Dingyuan, Huo Bao didn't see Xiao Han.

At that time, Xiao Han's face was seriously injured and he couldn't go out.

This time I went to Lingshui for funeral, and the two did not see each other.

Huo Baodang doesn't know it, and it makes sense.

At this time, no one will pick his courtesy.

Liu Shi said in a trembling voice: "Xiaobao...... Xiaobao ...... Your uncle ......"

She was visibly frightened.

Compared with today's thrills, the previous friction and break with Marshal Sun in Bozhou is nothing.

If Liu Er hadn't defected and took the opportunity to kill Liu Da, it would have been a small fight.

"Auntie, don't worry, the sixth uncle has already arranged for someone to go over!"

Huo Bao Dao.

As he spoke, another carriage followed.

Xiao Han's eyes were fixed, and he said to his daughter: "It's Madame's carriage!" ”

It was the Han family who drove the car.

Xiao Han looked at the coachman with a little inexplicable in his eyes.

Liu lowered his head and wiped his tears, and went over to greet his mother.

Mrs. Han took her young daughter out of the car, with panic in her eyes.

Seeing Liu's, she was like seeing a life-saving straw, and immediately grabbed Liu's arm, and said repeatedly: "Quickly call someone back to find Yu'er, go quickly!" You're still over there......"

"The third master is over there...... Sister-in-law is also ......"

Liu choked up and answered the question.

Who's going to find someone?

How to find someone?

In the range of artillery, let others risk their lives to find someone, where do they have such a big face?

Mrs. Han looked at the owner of the horse village and Huo Bao, her eyes moved away again, and fell on Liu Biao, who was still on the ground: "Biaozi...... Yu'er is still over there......"

Liu Biao looked at Mrs. Han and said unexpectedly, "Why didn't you come together?" Didn't he be by the carriage before? ”

Mrs. Han said with tears in her eyes: "I was really flustered just now, and the old body ran away somehow......"

Liu Biao pointed to the crowd of people who were running in the direction of the Chuzhou army not far away and said: "I can't say that it is behind, and so on is ......."

Mrs. Han had no choice but to nod.

One time later, Han Xishan also arrived, but it was half of his body blood, his eyes were red, and his expression was crazy.

Huo Bao, Ma Zhai and others glanced at each other, and they all saw that something was wrong.

Shui Jin had already moved in the direction of Huo Bao and Ma Zhai, secretly on guard.

"Kiyama?"

Mrs. Han looked worried: "Is this an injury?" ”

When Han Xishan heard the movement, his eyes fell on Mrs. Han, and his eyes were full of anger: "There is no way to teach the son, why didn't you die as an old brute!" ”

“……”

Mrs. Han was stunned by the scolding.

Liu Biao looked at Han Xishan's side, and had a bad premonition in his heart: "Who had an accident?" ”

"Cheng'er...... He has only become a Ding, so he ...... How do I explain to my brother......"

Han Xishan gritted his teeth, his face full of grief and indignation.

Mrs. Han stumbled and almost fell.

The second mother of the Liu family beside Mrs. Han covered her mouth and trembled and couldn't speak.

Liu frowned, looking in the direction of the hillside even more worried.
