Chapter 658: The Battle on the Island and Reef (4)
Licheng soon brought the artillery, and as soon as the order was given, the artillery began to be planted on the spot. While the officers and men of the Dongjiang Army were busy, the entire island and reef suddenly began to shake slightly.
Mao Wenlong thought it was an earthquake, and he was startled by it, but at this moment, some soldiers who knew what happened exclaimed: "There are rolling stones on the slope......
Without waiting for Mao Wenlong to react, Haoda and a group of guards had already carried Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou and ran away. In fact, in the place where Mao Wenlong stood, there would be no danger at all, but no one wanted to take a little risk, even if Mao Wenlong had a 1 in 10,000 chance that he would be affected by the rolling stones, they would not be lucky.
Huge rolling stones tumble down the steep slope, not as loud at first, but after a few meters of dropping, they start to become intimidating. Under the action of inertia, the boulder seemed to be pressed down by the whole mountain, frightening all the officers and soldiers of the Dongjiang Army to flee one after another.
Before a boulder could roll down, another one appeared behind it, and the tremors on the reef became more and more violent......
"Boom ......"
Just as it hit the ground, a rolling stone hit the unplaced cannon, and after a loud bang, the cannon was pressed directly into the soft soil. The boulder also shattered into stones of various sizes immediately after impact.
"Boom ......"
Nearly ten boulders have rolled down one after another, and where the officers and soldiers of the Dongjiang Army stood just now, this will have been ruined by ten boulders. A few soldiers who were slow runners were unfortunately affected, but fortunately they were only slightly injured and did not worry about their lives.
But this also scared everyone a lot, and the endless methods of the Japanese are really a headache. The artillery that had just been brought in had also been destroyed by the boulder, and it seemed that it could no longer be used.
Mao Wenlong frowned and pondered, but Hong Chengchou sighed: "This widow is indeed difficult, and he has a favorable location, and he can completely stop us below with the trick of rolling stones." ”
Hong Chengchou's words, Mao Wenlong obviously disagreed, he suddenly said in a dark voice: "That's not necessarily, this little slope is not difficult for me." ”
Seeing that Mao Wenlong was quite confident, Hong Chengchou asked in surprise: "Does the general army have a good way to deal with these widows?" ”
Not only was Hong Chengchou curious that Mao Wenlong could come up with a good solution, but Licheng and Lixuan were also waiting for Mao Wenlong to say his good idea with anticipation.
Mao Wenlong snorted coldly: "From the beginning, we forgot about the killer weapon we had, but it was too stupid to confront these Japanese robbers head-on. ”
Hong Chengchou rolled his eyes and said, "What is the best way for the general soldier?" ”
Mao Wenlong said: "Hot air balloon." ”
When these words came out, everyone suddenly woke up. Hong Chengchou slapped his head and said angrily: "How did we forget this thing." ”
With a hot air balloon attacking directly from the air, what is the point of a mere island and reef and high ground? As soon as the hot air balloon lifts off and then hits the pirates on the slope from above, it is naturally a breeze.
After everyone reacted, Lixuan immediately asked for orders: "Chief soldier, please let me deal with these damn widows." ”
Mao Wenlong nodded and said, "Go and take it off, two of them will be lifted into the air directly, one will go to see how Lihui is doing, and the other will go up there and burn those widows to death for me." ”
Li Xuan excitedly left with his hands, and soon returned to the warship, shouting to move the hot air balloon to the deck, and quickly ignite it into the air.
Murakotaro on the high ground looked at the hot air balloon slowly floating in the air in a daze, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart. It was the first time that Murako Taro had seen a hot air balloon floating in the sky, but he recognized what it was, and he had already heard others mention the power of the Dongjiang Army's hot air balloon.
The sudden sight of this thing made Murakotaro immediately nervous, watching the hot air balloon keep approaching his location. Murakotaro didn't dare to slack off, and immediately ordered someone to use fire and bows and arrows to try to shoot the hot air balloon down.
However, Murakotaro soon realizes that something is wrong, and that a bow or arrow or a fire system will not hit a hot air balloon at all. Looking at the hot air balloon that was still slowly floating, Murakotaro hesitated for a moment, then suddenly turned around and walked towards the cliff behind.
Li Xuan was holding back a wave of resentment in his heart, and he couldn't wait to kill all the widows under him as soon as possible. For this reason, Li Xuan did not carry a lot of things on the hot air balloon, in addition to the fierce fire oil jar that must be used, there are also more than 20 explosive bags.
With what Lixuan has so far, it is enough to knock this small high ground down by half. Looking at the bows and muskets that were constantly being fired below, Li Xuan's face showed a hint of hideousness.
The hot air balloon soon reached the center of the high ground, and looking down from the air, Li Xuan could easily see the layout of the Japanese underneath. The other three cliffs are now gone, only on the slope there are still more than 30 Japanese robbers, staring blankly at the hot air balloon.
Li Xuan was not polite to them, and after resisting their sky, he immediately threw down the fierce fire oil jar, and the last torch was thrown down, and a raging fire immediately ignited on the high ground. And those who were still confused just now and didn't know what the Dongjiang Army was going to do, this would have been completely swallowed up by the sea of fire, and everything was too easy.
At the beginning, they fought with these Japanese on the ground and were suppressed everywhere, but when the Dongjiang army reached the sky, the situation on both sides was immediately reversed. Wailing, tearing roar, the mournful cry of dying resounded in the high ground.
Having reached the bottom of the cliff, Murakotaro was escorted by ten of his subordinates, and soon escaped in a small boat and out to sea. When he looked back at the high ground he had just descended, he saw the smoke billowing up into the sky, followed by several explosions like thunder.
At this moment, the muscles on Murakotaro's face twitched slightly, and he had exhausted his calculations, and he didn't bother thinking much about this trap. It was a plan that felt foolproof, but in the end, all his plans were shattered by a hot air balloon. fled again, Murako Taro was indignant in his heart, and secretly swore to himself: "Mao Wenlong, today's hatred will be redoubled in the future." ”
After secretly swearing in his heart, Murakotaro didn't dare to stay for a long time at the moment, and immediately ordered to leave quickly. Murako Taro sneaked away in a small boat, and none of them knew about Mao Wenlong.
Li Xuan threw everything he had brought out on the high ground, and the power of the gunpowder explosion directly caused this small island and reef to almost sink. Fortunately, in the end, the reef survived, but the high ground had also collapsed and collapsed.
Mao Wenlong and the others were still on the shore, and in order to avoid accidents, they ordered all the people to withdraw to the ship.
