Chapter 104: The Burning of Jade (Chapter 4)
After getting the news of Xicheng sent back by the big black son, he was stunned again, suddenly clapped his hands, and laughed: "Okay, it's a good sound to cover your ears and steal the bell, okay, Xicheng is not far from breaking the city." ”
Turning to look at his subordinates who had retreated like a tide, he stomped his feet and said, "Okay, I'll grit my teeth and hold on for a while to give the scholar Lu Shi more strength." ”
Without mud words, he suddenly retreated his coat, revealing his bloody nature, and did not take the ladder, flew down the room, went straight to the war drum, picked up the drumstick, and struck hard, and for a time the drum rumbled again, and the shouting of killing rushed to the sky again,
The poles were like the sea that had just receded, and in the sound of the war drums that were once again excited, they surged up to the head of the city again.
At this time, the leader of a small pole strode over, and when he saw the mud, he cried and said: "Alliance leader, no, my strong man has suffered heavy casualties, and the top is really moving." Pray that the alliance leader will let my brother take it down, and leave me some seeds for my brother. “
Bu Mu stopped the war drum in his hand, looked at the head of the small pole with grim eyes, and said gloomily: "Your brother has suffered heavy casualties? Then I ask you, whose brother did not suffer heavy casualties? Leave the seeds? As long as there is food in the city, what do you need seeds for? Your men and horses will immediately be ten times dozens of times, and at that time you will be a big pole calling for wind and rain. ”
"But those are my brothers for many years."
"Without further ado, I ordered you to attack the city." Don't get muddy and don't talk nonsense with him, just stare at him with wolf-like eyes, and order through gritted teeth.
The pole was also opened, and in his opinion, this was his own consumption, so he shouted loudly: "If you want to attack the city, you will attack, grandpa I-" Before the words were finished, he saw a flash of the sword, and a big head rolled to the ground, and he picked up the head and handed it to the soldiers: "Go and take this head and order the whole army, and if there is anyone who retreats, kill." ”
As soon as he turned around, he shouted at the stunned Overseers, "Overseers, if you cross the red line ten feet forward again, even if you are my own brother, you will be slashed and killed." ”
The overseer received the order, strode forward, and drew a straight line in red again at a distance of ten zhang, and the bright red color was like drawing with blood.
"Go and urge Lu Shi to cross the stars again, no matter what, before dark, you must break the city, victory or defeat in one fell swoop."
Thinking about it, "Also, you can inform Lu Shi of my decision just now, so that they can do it themselves." ”
The soldier understood, did not speak, and galloped to the west city.
The elm spray in the city roared again, but it was not as powerful as it was to kill and to inflict too little.
It turns out that the elm spray is made of wood after all, and it can't withstand continuous use, especially after the three cannons, it is necessary to wet the inside with water to extinguish the fire caused by the gunpowder firing, otherwise, as long as the gunpowder goes down, it will explode immediately, but now the war is urgent, and Xu Zhong has run out of patience, wielding a war knife and desperately letting the soldiers in charge of the cannon recharge, and increasing the amount of gunpowder and lead, so as to kill and injure more thieves.
There was an old gunner who listened to Chino's orders, and his face turned white with fright, and he trembled and wailed; "My lord, no, my lord, this elm spray has very poor heat dissipation performance, and it can't be fired continuously, besides, the use of this guy is thinner than the pipe wall every time, and every time you shoot a shot, you should gradually reduce the charge, or you have to blow it up."
At this time, Xu Zhong was already angry, his blood poured into his pupils, and he just wanted to suppress the thieves rolling in, where could he still listen to the good words of this soldier? In his thoughts, he just knew that increasing the amount of medicine and adding more lead was the way to increase the power, so he straightened his neck and stared at the old soldier with blood-red eyes; "Do you dare to disobey? Do you dare to disturb the morale of the army? See if I don't kill you on the spot. ”
As he spoke, he took out his waist knife and was about to cut it off at the veteran, and he was busy with a blind date with the veteran, hugging the master of Qianhu, and glancing at the veteran again and again, telling him to run away.
The veteran saw that if he insisted again, it would be the end of being hacked on the spot, so he stomped his feet and ran away. As soon as the experienced veteran left, the others didn't know about it, and the situation was urgent, and he didn't have the ability to think, so he followed the orders of the superiors.
Doubled the amount of medicine, doubled the lead, and then lit the fire door with the screams of the hundred households of the negative firearm, and all the people blocked their ears, opened their mouths wide, and watched the fire line of the fire door quickly rush into the cannon chamber, waiting for the moment that was about to appear and make the thieves suffer heavy losses.
"Boom, boom—"
I only heard ten earth-shattering bangs on the city wall, and the ten elm trees were overwhelmed and exploded together. A huge mushroom-like cloud rose from the entire city wall, and the whole city wall was empty of the whole city wall with the stumps, broken arms, and broken flesh that had captured the pole at the head of the city.
When the explosion occurred, Qianhu Xu Zhong had just sat down in the enemy building, threw the heavy big knife to the ground, and scolded in his mouth to find the bad luck of the veteran who dared to challenge his prestige and generals.
A subordinate handed him a bowl of tea to dissipate his anger, and persuaded him, and when the battle was over, it was not too late to find the bad luck of the dog thing, Xu Zhong was about to bring the tea bowl to his mouth with hatred, and suddenly an earth-shattering explosion exploded in his ears, and the huge vibration shook the rafters on the enemy tower a lot, and the thousands of households became rolling gourds in the first time, and the fallen tables and chairs and miscellaneous offensive and defensive equipment piled up in the enemy building fell one after another, and it happened that the tea bowl that had just arrived at his mouth also cut his lips and broke his two front teeth, Something even smashed on his head, and the blood suddenly flowed endlessly.
After the explosion, there was only a buzzing sound in the ears, and no other sound could be heard, and when it was difficult to get up, the room was full of dust, choking people out of breath, and they stood staggeringly and unsteadily, as if the walls of heaven and earth were turning, and look at a few of their own personal soldiers, who had blurred their backs at the door and fell to the ground and no longer moved, and those who could still move only saw their distorted faces screaming to themselves, but they couldn't hear a sound.
Reluctantly steadied his mind, shook his head violently, and let his blank brain finally be able to think, his first judgment was; "It's broken, it's the elm that blows up."
Desperate, Xu Zhong staggered out of the crumbling enemy building, and the scene in front of him made him fly out of the sky.
Where the elm spray had been placed, the section of the city wall twenty zhang wide and long was wiped out by a large gap close to one zhang, where everything was swept away except for the broken bricks and stones and the rammed earth of the city wall, and the range of ten zhang to the left and right of this large mouth was already covered with all kinds of bright red human limbs, intestines and minced flesh, and the blood was unbearable to see.
Seeing that the city wall was empty, he immediately felt bad, and hurriedly organized people to fill the gap, but where could he mobilize it for a while? When he was shouting up and down, he saw countless heads emerging there, and when he saw the thieves taking this opportunity to fly to the city one after another, they immediately felt the first to react.
This is already the time of life and death, and he kicked the pro-soldier general who was still frozen, pulled out his waist knife and shouted that he was the first to pounce.
As soon as the pro-soldiers saw that the main family gave up their lives, how dare they slack off, and they also rushed forward with a shout, and fought with the thieves who rushed up. For a moment, that section of the city wall immediately fell into the sword light, sword shadow, blood and flying.
The reason why the adults of thousands of households are desperate is that one of them also knows that this time the defense of the city is very important, and if it is successful, it will be a high-ranking official, and it will be a smooth road, and if it is defeated, the head will fall to the ground and the family will be ruined.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was a Kou Fan side, and the civil officials could take the lead in finding an excuse to escape from the dangerous place, but the military generals must strictly guard the garrison and fight to the death.
What's more, I listened to the county zun in advance, and said that kind of arrangement, but also thought that this battle would be successful, and I didn't transfer my family's wealth.
And Xu Zhong has used the blood of most of the soldiers to feed the pro-soldiers and generals for many years, and they also have to fight hard for their future food, so they have to work hard. So it was inseparable from the imposing thief army on this section of the city wall.
There are soldiers on both sides wailing and rolling down the city, and some lucky ones are injured for a while and do not die and fall to the ground, and soon dozens or hundreds of big feet will be trampled down, and they will be trampled to death in a moment, and the city and the city are fiercely fighting for this section of the city wall, constantly filling this hellish city wall with blood.
Of course, after everyone rushed up, Lord Qianhu withdrew, and hurriedly arranged personnel and transferred reserves to join the attack. He also commanded the manpower to block the thieves who were still climbing on the ladder outside the city.
Seeing the remaining dozens of barrels of gunpowder, his eyes lit up, he gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and shouted: "Come on, throw all the powder kegs over and into the crowd." ”
The soldiers didn't want anything else, they picked up the powder keg and threw it into the pimple of the people who were fighting, the powder keg fell to the ground, scattered and cracked, the dry gunpowder flew in all directions, Xu Zhong picked up a torch and threw it into the fighting group fiercely.
Boom - a huge fireball rose again in the gap, with countless screams and a strange smell of flesh, with countless poles to sign Ding Xiangyong's flesh and blood to the sky, and that section of the city wall was empty again.
(Collect, collect, my good brother.) )
