Chapter XXIII
readx;?“ Do you think they know we're going to keep them in the stockade? Yang Muqin continued to hold the binoculars and watched the man who had soiled his pants climb up the wall at an incredible speed along the rope, and slowly asked Beiwei beside him. Pen? Interesting?

The north latitude head did not rise, but quietly loaded the magazine. Not far from them, another veteran sniper was also reloading, and the M24 rifle could only hold five rounds, and these nine shots had basically drained their magazine.
"What if they suddenly send fifty people?" Yang Muqin muttered to himself while scanning the crowd on the wall that had avoided the family and jumped around.
"They suddenly sent fifty people?" Beiwei smiled, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth, "What are you kidding?" You see that everyone who was killed had a lot of silver on them, and they should have gone out to ask for help. Ten of them were killed and nine came back after running out in one breath, and who else wants to go out? In addition, even if they rushed out with a fever in their heads, the Bayi rifle in your hand is papier-mâché? ”
Similar to what Yang Muqin thought, at this time, Master Wen on the wall really wanted to send more people out.
"You see, this forest is just an ambush of two pirates, if you rush out together, you will definitely not be wiped out by them, there must be someone who can rush out, as long as anyone delivers the letter, I will ......" Master Wen stammered obviously, but quickly made up his mind, "Reward him with a hundred taels!" Plus a hundred acres of land! ”
Everyone who heard it was obviously in a trance, but they quickly came to their senses, no one thought that they could run faster than bullets, and the pirates' bullets were extremely accurate, and this hundred taels of silver and a hundred acres of land was definitely not easy to take.
A leader of the township raised a hand angrily, pointed at these people who were cowering and retreated, and scolded: "Master Wen has offered such a high reward, and you are still so ignorant of lifting!" ”
"You know how to lift you up!" Such a sentence suddenly appeared in the crowd, and the leader was stunned and speechless. He was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly pulled out the knife at his waist, waved it at the crowd, and shouted loudly: "Who said that? Says who? ”
Naturally, no one would come out like this, and no one spoke, and then the leader suddenly said triumphantly: "Since you dare to say and dare not do it, then you all go and send the letter!" As he spoke, he swung his knife at the crowd.
There was a noisy shout from the crowd, but they didn't need to worry so much, because just a second later, the head of the leader of the village suddenly exploded, his body shook a few times, and the knife in his hand fell into the wall, but his body fell straight outside the wall. At this moment, a crisp gunshot was heard in the distance, which echoed the sound of the body falling to the ground.
At this time, the people on the walled wall immediately understood that the original walled wall could also be hit by the pirates' shotguns, and hurriedly scattered birds and beasts, some ran down the stairs, some hurriedly crawled down the walkway, and even jumped directly from the walled wall to the ground, all in all, in a second, there was no one standing on the west wall.
Master Wen was naturally the first again, he didn't plan to grab the stairs with the crowded people at all, so he jumped directly from the wall to the ground, but he sat on the ground with his feet and grinned for a while before standing up.
"Sir, sir!" A family member ran over from the east and saw Master Wen fall to the ground, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, "The pirates from the east are shouting." ”
Wen Xinyi didn't care about the pain in his feet at this time, but just let the family limp to the east wall. It was evident that there was no firing from the pirates, and many people were still standing on the wall, watching the excitement as if no one was there.
"Villagers of Wu'an Village, we are the army troops of the Senate Dongfang Port, we are here to be ordered to eliminate the forces of the local bully leader Wen Xinyi, please keep your eyes open and see clearly, we will not kill innocents indiscriminately. Please stay away from the east and south walls, where we are about to attack, and please do not try to escape from the west and north, where we have deployed snipers, and anyone who tries to leave Wu'an Village before the end of the battle will be killed. Outside the wall, the pirate's shouting was surprisingly loud, and it was clear that the person who was shouting was more than two hundred steps away from the wall, and it seemed that he didn't have enough strength to shout desperately, but his voice could still be heard clearly.
The talking pirate shouted for almost a quarter of an hour before issuing an ultimatum. "Warn the recalcitrant criminal gang headed by Wen Xinyi, lay down their arms and surrender to us within a quarter of an hour, strive for leniency, and don't make a mistake on the wrong road and go down the wrong road again!"
These words made Wen Xinyi and a group of Ding Xiangyong wide-eyed, and they didn't know what the pirates were talking about. But the general meaning can still be understood, it should be to surrender yourself. But isn't that a joke? As long as you stick to it, this Wu'an village has not been surrounded, the pirates in the past also came when they plundered, and they left after three days, and a few years ago the Champ rebellion was also besieged, and they left after five days. These pirates did not carry siege equipment, how could they capture their own stockade? Wen Xinyi smiled and asked two subordinates to rub his feet, not paying any attention to the pirates' persuasion. At this time, there are still many villagers standing on the wall to watch the excitement, although the villagers who ran over from the west said that the pirates have weapons to hit the wall, but everyone still does not believe it, after all, what they don't see is always fake, and the Chinese people love to watch the excitement......
Two quarters of an hour passed in a flash, and Li Jieqi raised his hand and looked at his watch, which showed the time as eleven o'clock in the morning. "Pass my orders, and the Flying Thunder Cannon is ready."
Lin Shenhe, who had been waiting for a long time on the side, suddenly ran to the artillery with excitement and began to command more than a dozen novice artillerymen to drag the flying thunder cannon and start to deploy the firing position.
"Sir!" The man in charge of the lookout on the walled wall suddenly shouted at Wen Xinyi, who was still rubbing his feet below. "The pirates seem to be doing something."
A small leader of the family hurriedly stepped forward, "Two groups of pirates have come over with two thick iron pipes, and they are digging a hole in the ground. ”
"Dig a pit?" Wen Xinyi's curiosity was great at this time, and he didn't care about the inconvenience of his legs and feet, so he climbed the wall of the wall, but he didn't dare to stand up, he just squatted under the battlement and quietly showed his eyes and looked up.
Sure enough, more than 200 paces away, two groups of pirates were digging a pit in the ground, and soon the other two teams of pirates ran over with a thick iron pipe erected on wheels, and then rushed the mouth of the iron pipe to this side. However, this was different from the cannons he had seen before, the muzzles of the cannons were aimed at the sky, not at the wall. This made him think that the pirates were just scaring him, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Why is the lord laughing?" A family member on the side laughed when he saw the old man so suddenly, and asked playfully.
"Master, I laugh at pirates who don't know soldiers, how can there be such a cannon in the world? The muzzle of the cannon is facing the sky, is it a bird? Hahahaha......" Wen Xinyi smiled while twisting his beard at this time.
When the family members next to them saw that the old man was so calm, they couldn't help but feel greatly relieved, and their guard that had been preoccupied with it before was also relaxed a lot.
In the distance, a pirate lifted a thin iron pipe more than two feet long and leaned sideways to look at it, not knowing what he was doing.
"Distance! Two hundred and fifteen meters! No wind! The patriarch in charge of distance measurement held a one-meter rangefinder and carefully measured the distance and reported the parameters loudly. This one-meter rangefinder is a rangefinder with a very high appearance rate next to the 88 mm anti-aircraft gun, whether it is in France, North Africa, or Russia, there is often a German soldier holding an iron pipe next to the 88 anti-aircraft gun in the photo, and the one meter rangefinder in their hands is a one-meter rangefinder, this kind of rangefinder can measure the distance through the "experience" feeling between the pupils of the person, not only can measure the distance of the ground target, but also the distance of the aircraft in the air, but because of the difference in the three-dimensional sense of the object between people, resulting in different "cognition", The error is often quite large, so after the appearance of the laser rangefinder, these rangefinders slowly faded out, but at this time, this is the Zenith technology that no one can catch up with in this time and space.
"A pack of standard propellants, using a two-hundred-meter fuse grenade, loaded!" At this time, there was no special artillery commander, except for Lin Shenhe, who had a lot of experience when testing the artillery, others had no clue about this kind of "flying thunder artillery" that was dirty to the slag, so Lin Shenhe served as a temporary artillery commander at this time.
He checked the scale of the direction machine again, measured it with the jumping eye method, explained to a few artillery recruits next to him how to adjust it, and asked the launchers to install the firing tube. Lin Shenhe looked back at Li Jieqi in the distance, and Li Jieqi turned his head to look at Du Yande standing beside him. Du Yande felt that his eyelids were a little jumping at this time, and he had some bad feelings, but at this time, the big war was coming, and he couldn't let everyone stop and recheck the equipment, just because he had a bad premonition. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh lightly and nodded at Li Jieqi.
"Gun One! Fire! As the launcher pulled the fire rope violently, only a loud "boom" was heard, and a huge iron ball flew out of the muzzle of the cannon at a speed visible to the naked eye, only to see the shell cross the parabola in the air, smashed into the field about 20 meters away from the wall, and then exploded violently. For a while, broken soil and shrench swept across the wall, and the villagers and families who were still watching the bustle were still watching. A few of those who were hit and died on the spot fell straight down, while the injured unlucky ones covered their wounds and wailed in place, and those who were not injured jumped off the wall and fled directly into the village without hesitation. The pirates shouted just now, far from the east and south walls, it seems that they are really not bluffing themselves.
"Gun No. 2! Fire! When the launcher heard the command, he pulled the fire rope sharply, but for some reason, instead of a roar, a puff of black smoke came out of the barrel. The artillerymen all stood up in amazement and stared at the muzzle, only to hear Lin Shenhe shouting at the No. 2 gun position: "Run!" It's a dumb fire! ”
At this moment, a huge fireball suddenly rose on the No. 2 gun position with a loud "boom", which instantly flooded all the artillery on the entire gun position, and the shock wave knocked down all the people standing within a hundred meters of the vicinity.
