Chapter 221: The First Battle 5

"The target gate is three hundred and fifty meters away, the angle is thirty-five degrees, adjust the angle according to the ruler, and prepare to fire!" Wang Dajiang shouted out the order in accordance with the regulations on the artillery drill code, and the gunners and loaders of the artillery battalion quickly prepared, and with his order, the fuse was ignited by the torch. โ–ณยข, with a loud bang, the gunpowder improved by Gao Zhisi blew the iron ball out of the cannon muzzle, and flew towards the gate of the village with a scream.

There was a ghost crying wolf howl on the wall, some of the minions hurriedly shrank their heads under the wall, some jumped straight off the wall and ran back, and some people were scared stupid, stiff and looking at the flying iron ball. Fortunately, the first shell was a little higher, and the shell flew over his head and smashed onto the roof of the backyard. Only then did he react, screaming and crying, throwing down the weapon in his hand and running backwards with the crowd.

"Big boss, this can't work!" , Chen Guangyao, who came to watch the battle at the gate of the village, was anxious, "If we let the dog officers and soldiers open fire, it won't be long before our people run out!" โ€

"Then what do you say!" , Yang Erhu shouted loudly, he also saw the two of them carrying guns when they were robbing back then, when did they see the power of the cannon, and they couldn't help but run away.

"Gotta stop someone, rush out and kill him for a while! I heard that those officers and soldiers under the mountain used to farm the land and had never seen blood, so if we rushed to them, we would surely win a great victory! Chen Guangyao cheered Yang Erhu hard.

"Just as you say!" , Chen Guangyao's words were like a life-saving straw, Yang Erhu pulled out the big knife on his waist, and slashed a minion who ran past him on the spot, looking at those minions viciously, "Whoever dares to escape from the battle, this is the end!" โ€

Seeing the anger of the big boss, coupled with the blood-stained knife, the chaos on the scene finally stabilized a little. Yang Erhu looked at the minions viciously, "If you can't kill these officers and soldiers today, none of us will want to live!" Third brother, you take five hundred brothers and rush out, give them some powerful taste, and I will press the formation behind you. If someone dared to run back, Wan Yang Erhu stared at Li Gouzi with a pair of red eyes.

"Big brother!" , Li Gouzi is about to cry, there are so many people outside, is this sending me to death?

"What, you don't want to go?" , Yang Erhu took two steps forward, and the knife in his hand was held tighter!

"No, no!". Li Gouzi finally reacted, if he went out, he might be killed by the officers and soldiers, but if he didn't go out, he would definitely be cut down by Yang Erhu on the spot! Gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, "Big brother, I'll take someone out to kill me, just take a look."

After speaking, he turned around and nodded to a few cronies, "A few of you." Bring your own people and kill them with me! There was a small leader who hesitated slightly, and Yang Erhu slashed head-on with a knife. There was another corpse at the scene.

"Big brother, this can't be done!" , Chen Guangyao saw that the expressions of the minions were wrong, and hurried to Yang Erhu's ear to say a few words.

Yang Erhu nodded and shouted loudly, "Go get the wine!" And take five thousand taels of silver out of the treasury. The brothers who went out of battle today will be rewarded with ten taels of silver each, and if they can kill a dog officer and soldier, they will be rewarded with another twenty taels of silver. Officers doubled! โ€

After a while, the silver piled up in front of the minions, and seeing that the cannonballs had blasted a crack in the wall, Yang Erhu didn't have time to pity the silver, and lifted the wine jar and poured a bowl for Li Gouzi with his own hands, "Third brother." It's all up to you today, after the matter is completed, you can take whatever you like in your brother's room, if your brother frowns, it will be raised by the little lady! โ€

In this way, the morale of the minions was finally higher, and they poured the liquor into their stomachs one by one, and then smashed the bowl to the ground, and took ten taels of silver in front of Yang Erhu and stuffed it into his arms. I don't know what Li Gouzi asked Yang Erhu for just now, seeing that he doesn't seem to be so scared now, he shouted with a knife, "The head has fallen off but the bowl has a big scar, the master has eaten fragrant and drunk spicy food, and he has slept with the eldest lady of the master's house, this life is worth it!" Boys, go with me to kill the dogs! โ€

After saying that, he opened his shirt and revealed his chest full of black hair, and the leader rushed out, and the small leaders under him also hurriedly followed with their subordinates.

"The enemy is out! The first row raises the gun, and the second row prepares! Ran Fei, who was guarding the front, pulled out the command knife on his waist and shouted, "No one is allowed to shoot without my order, put them close and then fight!" โ€

Yang Dazhu didn't have the nervousness at the beginning at this time, looked at the chaotic formation of the minions, raised the brown bass rifle in his hand over his shoulder, and aimed at the ** big man with black hair on his upper body and chest with his left eye, and kept muttering in his heart, fight again when he gets closer, fight again when he gets closer!

"The eight-pounder cannon continues to attack the wall, the four-pounder cannon is replaced with shotguns, and the target is the center of the enemy brigade, ready to open fire!" , Wang Dajiang quickly issued an order according to the change in the form of the scene.

"Boom!" The eight cannons spat out tongues of fire at the same time, and hundreds of lead stones fell on the minions like a torrential rain with a deadly speed, and suddenly splashed blood flowers, and about twenty people lost their combat effectiveness in the first round of shelling.

Li Gouzi was lucky, he didn't have any injuries on his body, and hurriedly shouted, "The cannon of the dog officers and soldiers is over, let's rush forward, only by killing them can we survive." โ€

Now the firing speed of the four-pounder cannon in the Honghuahui artillery battalion is about one shot a minute, and at this time, Li Gouzi's men and horses have already rushed to a distance of three hundred meters from the infantry defense line, if the speed is fast enough, they can indeed rush to Yang Dazhu before the next launch.

Three hundred meters, Yang Dazhu swallowed his saliva and resisted the ** who pulled the trigger; Two hundred meters, Yang Dazhu's index finger began to tremble slightly; A hundred meters, and the commander's order to shoot was not heard; Eighty meters, I don't know who pulled the trigger first, after a bang, Yang Dazhu reflexively pulled the trigger, and saw the leader with black hair on his chest stumbling to the ground from a distance.

"The first row is back, the second row is forward, and the third row is ready!" , It was too late to pursue responsibility, Ran Fei hurriedly issued the second order! The gunfire in the second row was much cleaner than in the first.

Soon the third row finished shooting, Yang Dazhu stood at the front of the line again, hey, that guy was not dead yet, he saw Li Gouzi ignore the wound on his left arm, and rushed over again. I don't believe I can't kill you! Another shot aimed at her chest, who knew that this shot was even more powerful, and it didn't even hit Li Gouzi's hair.

When Yang Dazhu stood in the front row for the third time, he found that Li Gouzi's figure had disappeared from his field of vision, and there were less than 100 minions left in the village, and they were fleeing back in chaos. (To be continued......)
