Chapter 339: Zero casualties

Of course, Cai You wants to be foolproof, otherwise when he offers treasures in front of the officials, it will be a political problem. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Yes, yes, make sure everything goes wrong, it's not to be sloppy! By the way, when will Brother Xia Gou be able to fight down? ”

Xiagou is more than 70 miles away from Dongkuo, and it takes three hours to ride a horse, and it takes a day and a half to walk.

Lin Chong roughly calculated the time, and estimated that there would be four or five more days to prepare, and it would be almost the same, but it really didn't work, let Tang An do more than a dozen assault guns with him, and he couldn't take it if he didn't believe it.

"Set off in five days, arrive at Xiagou, and take it within two days."

Cai You arched his hand with satisfaction, "Hard work brother, I will definitely be greatly promoted in front of the official family, and I will fight for you for a good future!" ”

With this one, Lin Chong asked Tang An to prepare a large number of assault guns and God's Wrath gunpowder, Tang An didn't expect Lin Chong to be honest with himself, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Lin Chong said unhurriedly, "Don't think too much, I'm not a good person, let you know that the formula is not to believe in you, but that I can control your life and death." If you really do things for me, you will naturally be well paid, and if you have other thoughts, I will also have a way to take the lives of your family. ”

Tang An was shocked, the heroic and extraordinary Hou Ye in front of him was a demon star who had been killed from the sea of blood in the corpse mountain.

In a fit of rage, he dared to raise troops to counterattack, and in the face of the forbidden army and the Western army, which were more than ten times larger, he not only won, but also imprisoned the Xuanfu envoy. shocked the government and the opposition, and later the court had to give in and sent Cai Dashao over to reward and appease.

In the past few days, I have heard a lot of stories about this legendary marquis, just the notorious giant thief Dakou on the rivers and lakes, who obeyed under his command, and the proud Dongying people, Fan people, and party members were also subdued by him.

Wouldn't it be easy for him to take my family's life? If you don't want to live a short life, it's more reliable to work honestly and earn some wages in a down-to-earth manner.

"What Master Hou said is that villains are nothing more than earning some wages, and they will never have other ideas. Since he was ordered to be responsible for the configuration of gunpowder, if something went wrong, he was left to the disposal of the Hou Ye, and there was no complaint. ”

Lin Chong nodded, this is a smart person, as long as the money, the rest has no ideas.

"As long as you can stick to your duty, I will arrange a house for you, double your salary, and do things for a living."

Tang An immediately kowtowed and thanked him, with this salary, the family's life will be much more comfortable. It is the rule of the industry to keep your mouth shut, so what's the harm in selling your life to him.

Hou Ye's idea is too magical, just adjust the ratio of the three ingredients, plus the mixture of egg whites, to make fine particles, the power can be increased by five times!

When leaving, Tang An happened to pass by the people of the Yehu family, and with the sensitivity of his sense of smell, a pungent smell came out of the porcelain jar.

Yehu Mingtai brought back five cans of paraffin water, and sure enough, as Lin Chong guessed, this is crude oil, and it is also a very good crude oil!

Five cans of crude oil made Lin Chong's eyes red. An open-pit oil field that is simply a cornucopia. As long as it is controlled and a distillation factory is built on the side, thousands of catties of gasoline, diesel and kerosene can be produced every month, which is a huge profit.

This time, the battle of Xiagou has to be fought if it is not fought.

At the invitation of Lin Chong, Cai You, Tong Guan, Lao Chong, Liu Fa and other senior generals gathered in Xiagou City. According to Lin Chong's original words, I will first demonstrate to you how to clear the city of the party members, and then go back and take the nine cities to fight by yourself.

On the morning of the fourth day, the Wild Wolf Army dispatched two warships, 1,000 cavalry, and 2,000 infantry troops to attack Xiagou City, which had 5,000 troops.

The defenders of Xiagou City were brainless, and they were indifferent in the face of Lin Chong's repeated ultimatums.

He closed the gates of the city, and sent his bows and crossbows and many soldiers to the head of the city, ready to fight to the death. And issued a wild saying, "The Song army doesn't pay the price of tens of thousands of people, don't think about getting half a step close to Xiagou City!" ”

Tong Guan and Liu Fa, who had experienced Lin Chong's blows, and the old people who knew that Lin Chong's troops were brave and good at fighting, the guard of Xiagou City, Ge Haqi, was not only stubborn, but also ignorant.

Even in difficult cities like Dongkuo and Changxing, Lin Chong only relied on his wits and strange soldiers to break the city in one day, not to mention the low and isolated Xiagou City.

Ge Hatch scolded his mother at the head of the city, and the Yanzhou guard said that he would send reinforcements, but for five days, he didn't see a single horsehair, and his family was in Xingqing Mansion, and he couldn't surrender!

Hearing the news of the scouts, Song Jun sent more than 3,000 people, and his confidence immediately rose. The city claimed 5,000 people to the outside world, but in fact there were only 3,800 people, but it was the defender of the city, and it had a huge geographical advantage.

According to the usual practice, the other party is 10,000 people, and he doesn't care, if you add movable people, he can even piece together 5,000 strong men. As long as you can throw stones, cut people with knives, and carry equipment, you can pull them up and fight, so that the Song army can taste the taste of rivers of blood.

He soon noticed the difference between the other side, who did not prepare trebuchets and did not equip the ballista to launch siege chiseles. But at a distance of 500 paces, there are a lot of large bamboo tubes, and I don't know what to do with them.

With years of experience, it will definitely not be a good thing, seeing that many sergeants also pointed their fingers, looking curious about the baby, they quickly ordered that no one was allowed to look at the probe, and they must honestly hide behind the wall.

Even if you're an enhanced version of the ballista, as long as I'm well hidden, you'll have no tricks on me. When you launch an attack, I will come out to fight you again, I don't believe in this evil, and I want to attack my Xiagou City with a big bamboo tube.

Lin Chong waited until the arrangement was completed, and pointed to the assault gun position to explain to the guests.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today's Xiagou siege battle will definitely go down in history, and you will also observe the whole process as witnesses, this battle will be a watershed in a new offensive and defensive combat mode."

"In the past, whether it was offensive or defensive, firearms were used as auxiliaries. But from now on, firearms will be used as the main weapon to completely destroy the will of the enemy army to resist. And as an attacking side, it is basically possible to achieve zero casualties. Now for you to witness this glorious moment! ”

Lin Chong waved his hand to Tang An, and Tang An immediately waved the flag, and the trained gunners quickly lit the fuse.

Tang An has been developing granular gunpowder and improved assault guns in the past few days, and the specially reinforced assault guns can now fire three to five times in a row.

This time bring twenty assault guns, and at least eighty cannons can be fired. For the north gate of Xiagou City, which was not tall or strong, it was completely devastating.

In order to deter the party members, and in order to let the guests experience the shocking feeling, Lin Chong decided to directly flatten the North Gate Tower.
