This improved wooden cannon was jokingly called "3 Jin Cannon Mark 2 Type" by Xu Shiyang, and the militia didn't know what Mark meant, so they simply called it a big wooden cannon, and a simple wooden cannon reinforced with hemp rope was called a small wooden cannon.

The latter mainly fires stone-made shotguns against enemy group charges, while the former is mainly used against well-protected targets or low-level enemy cities, such as the gates of the Rodoian cottages.

The first large wooden cannon was mounted directly on the shield cart, with the muzzle protruding from the gun window in the middle of the shield cart's guard, pointing forward.

Under the cover of the shield car, the soldiers pushed this specially shaped "armored gun car" to a distance of only 10 steps from the bandits' gate.

"Fire!"

One of the soldiers brought a wooden fork with an arquebus close to the gun door .......

Rumble!

With a loud bang, white smoke rose up, and the three-pound iron projectile flew out of the cannon chamber at lightning speed, instantly crossed a short distance, and smashed directly on the wooden gate!

With a crackling sound of crackling wood, the center of the gate was pierced by a cannonball, and the thick latch inserted into it was directly hit, turning into a piece of splinter wood that flew backwards.

The sharp slag was as dangerous as a cluster of arrows, and the bandits who were standing behind the gate and ready to resist the gate all screamed and fell to the ground.

There was no need for a second cannon, because the door was open and could no longer be an obstacle.

"Archers shoot arrows! Suppress the city! Xu Shiyang issued a series of orders: "The infantry will attack with me!" ”

"One, two, one! The whole team! ”

Xie Zhen and Xie Bao led 8 scouts to start throwing light arrows at the wall, their previous battle performance was not good, neither could they detect Liu Gao's ambush (Xu Shiyang already knew why Liu Gao suddenly rushed out that day, it was a beautiful misunderstanding, but he couldn't expect a second time), nor could he stop the bandits from rushing into the fence, and even two rounds of light arrows did not hurt any of the bandits.

In addition to knowing that Zhen Jiebao and the two of them performed well in archery, they were essentially a small group of ordinary militiamen who were still physically strong and relatively well-equipped.

However, this is enough, and the strength of the body means that they can safely draw their war bows under the guidance of the two experts of Xie Zhen and Jie Bao, and shoot light arrows into the wall that is not too high.

Under the cover of the shield cart, this safe, training-ground-like shooting environment could easily improve their performance - at least by the time the third round of light arrows flew out, the cluster of arrows could already be stuck in the overhangs erected by the bandits, rather than Browning like Ah San's missiles.

Coupled with the accurate shooting of Xie Zhen and the deterrence of the cannon just now, ten people and ten bows (2 masters and 8 rookies) can actually suppress the bandits who shrink behind the hanging household and dare not show their heads!

Without the most threatening Rolling Stone attack, Xu Shiyang boldly led the battle team to advance towards the open walled gate, he himself was still at the forefront, and regardless of the dazzling armor on his body was the enemy's best shooting target, he directly pressed his life on the unreliable scout archery and the protection of the iron armor.

Dangdang made two soft sounds, and two feather arrows hit Xu Shiyang, one of the stone arrows smashed on his helmet and shattered directly into tiny sand shuo, and the other was an iron arrow, but it also failed to penetrate the armor leaf on his body.

Due to the short distance of the assault and the short attack window of the bandits, Xu Shiyang only suffered these two painless attacks and successfully walked into the doorway.

The other militiamen followed him, and broke into the bandit cottage with their heads held high - the wall that Xu Mujiang had a headache was broken by the high hopes of the Luo Dao people.

But the battle was far from over, when a strong old bandit suddenly stood up from above the doorway, held a large stone aloft and was about to throw it downward.

Xie Zhen, who had been prepared, struck him in the throat with an arrow, and the bandit fell under the wall along with his stones, and smashed it on the head of a militiaman in the back row, who was silent, and collapsed on the ground like noodles.

Although it was very similar, it was not a real modern army after all, and the other militia unconsciously stopped, stretched out his hand to pull his neighbor out from under the stone, and there was a small confusion at the back of the queue.

Fortunately, a pro-soldier took two steps to follow, and a stick was whipped on the militiaman's arm, and the half-grown child yelled viciously: "Don't stop!" Keep moving! ”

The militia couldn't help but tremble, and after more than a month of queue training before the war, he had received a lot of military sticks, and he had already developed a reflexive fear of this thing.

He hurriedly straightened his waist, listened to Xu Shiyang's command, and quickly ran two steps to keep up with the queue.

At the dawn of time, the team had already crossed the doorway and entered the interior of the cottage.

The architectural pattern here is not much different from that of Wuwutun, with a mess of grass huts and wooden houses everywhere, and occasionally a few rammed earth yards, which can be regarded as luxurious buildings.

There was a chaotic roar in front of him, Xu Shiyang looked up, and found that a group of bandits with fierce faces were following behind a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe, rushing towards this side, and bandits continued to drill out of the buildings on both sides, waving variegated weapons and blending into the crowd opposite.

Needless to say, the leader must be a Luo Daoren.

After the bandit leader found that the north gate was obviously the main force of the Xu family's army, he led 50 old bandits and 200 coercion to reinforce there.

At that time, Luo Dao's popularity almost killed the bandits who reported the news, and the defense of the south gate was the priority he had been focusing on for several years, and in a sense, it was also his proud work, how could it be broken through in one attack?

The Xu family army is a militia and not a Tartar army!

But the messenger was in front of him, crying and cursing and swearing that the south gate was about to be missed, and he couldn't help but believe it, so he had to lead half of the bandits back, but as soon as he arrived at the place, he actually saw that the Xu family army really crossed the gate and rushed to the front!

When did the Xu family become so strong?

"Which castle master of the Xu family is in front? Can you come out and speak! "Luo Daoren also wants to follow the rules of the rivers and lakes and talk to the other party's leader before the battle, so that even if the battle is defeated, the two sides will generally put on a sympathetic look and leave a way back.

And Xu Shiyang's answer to this is: "One, two, one!" Attention! The whole team! Get ready to take on the enemy! ”

From the perspective of Luo Daoren, Xu Jiajun's transformation from a marching army to a battle formation was astonishingly fast, and he completely ignored his own meaning.

"Say! I'm not afraid of breaking the rules! ”

Luo Daoren scolded:

"Brothers! This Xu family is here to grab food from our cottage! Without the food woman, how will we live! Those who retreat today are all killed! Son under the oil pot! Mother-in-law's daughter is divided among other brothers! If you don't want to die, follow Lao Tzu! ”

The people who followed Luo Dao were all old bandits who had fallen into the grass when Da Zhou was still dominant in Jiangbei, and they were still a little brave, and when they heard the agitation of the bandit leader, they cried wolf one by one, and screamed and rushed towards Xu Shiyang.
