Tao Lei shouted loudly for a long time and no one answered, but another loud bang exploded not far away. The qi wave pushed Tao Lei again, but fortunately, he was far from being harmed.

He sat weakly in the rubble and began to weep bitterly. His brothers were all thrown in the fortress.

Suddenly, a cannon shot came from the collapsed fort, and a smile appeared on Tao Lei's face. It turned out that he was not deaf, but he was temporarily deaf due to the explosion. And he was not the only one in the fortress who survived, and there were others who were just as lucky as him.

Maybe it's just one person, but that's enough. The taste of loneliness is really uncomfortable, and the taste of death in the arc is even worse.

But the sound of this cannon is not at all the same as the usual sound of a 3-pounder gun. I'm afraid that the 6-pounder cannon didn't have such a loud sound, wasn't it the gunner who fired the cannon in the bastion? Is it a horse boy?

Tao Lei, who was in surprise, didn't notice the tragic situation at the Jurchen trebuchet in the distance, and Ma Jingbo really put too much gunpowder.

It was more than twice as large, and the cannon exploded the moment it was fired. Fortunately, this batch of artillery used new guns cast by internal mold water-cooled technology, although they were blown but not blown into pieces.

There was only a crack in the cannon, and hot flames erupted from the crack at once. Fortunately, the rift is not on Ma Jingbo's side, and he doesn't have a.

Based on the amount of gunpowder he loaded, this cannon had to hit the Jurchen camp opposite. A trebuchet that was close at hand would have been impossible to hit, but the cannon blew up.

Some of the gunpowder in the chamber of the cannon leaked out of the cracks, which in turn sent the shells flying towards the trebuchet.

This product also ingeniously loaded two cannonballs, and the collision of the two cannonballs caused the iron balls cast from pig iron to shatter into several pieces.

This made the two cannonballs several times more powerful, and these broken iron balls swept away the Jurchen trebuchet.

The Jurchens and Han Junqi, who were operating in place, were unlucky, and more than a dozen people were broken into pieces in an instant. Just now, the Jurchens who were still swearing that they had given the Han Army Banner Niu Lu were beaten into a blood mist, and the Niu Lu Zhang Jing of the Han Army Banner was not happy.

Shell fragments slipped off his thigh, and he could do nothing but sit on the ground and howl. The trebuchet was instantly shattered into pieces of wood, and there was no chance of it being assembled again.

Lying on the ground and howling miserably, the Han Army Qiniu Lu Zhangjing raised his head suddenly, and he smelled a familiar question. Powder keg! Not good!

He hurriedly shouted loudly: "Come on! The powder keg is about to burst, pull me away! ”

survived more than a dozen Han army flags, and originally wanted to come over and pull Lord Niulu. But when he heard the words "the powder keg is about to explode", he immediately turned around and ran.

The Jurchen uncle couldn't even deal with him, and he watched the white smoke coming out of the powder keg. In the explosion of the powder keg, he also turned into splinters and disappeared into the ice.

Ma Jingbo was frightened by the shot he fired, which was completely different from the shot he fired just now. The light of the fire from the side scared him so much that he shouted at the gunner on the other side, "Do the guns still have farts?" Ay! Ay! ”

When he turned the cannon to look, the dying gunner was sprayed by the gunpowder just now, and he was already dead.

Ma Jingbo was so frightened that he ran away, he didn't expect that he would take the gunner's life. As soon as he climbed out of the collapsed fort, he saw Tao Lei, who was covered in dust and sitting in the corner looking at him, and Ma Jingbo pounced at once.

"What a long time! I didn't mean it, it was the cannon that farted and killed the gunner who couldn't move, I really didn't mean it! Ma Jingbo said incoherently.

When Tao Lei asked about the process of Ma Jingbo's manipulation this time, he couldn't help but slap him on the head. He also said: "Your kid's life is really big!" The artillery is fine, I don't know how your luck is so good! ”

"Fried ~ blown up?" Ma Jingbo asked tremblingly.

"That's right! If you put too much gunpowder and blow it up, it's none of your business! After listening to Tao Lei's words, Ma Jingbo returned to a state of hehe smirk.

Tao Lei asked Ma Jingbo to help him climb the intact wall and take a look at the tragic situation of the Jurchens.

It's much worse there than here, with stumps and broken arms frozen in the ground everywhere. There was also a large crater in the ice in place, and the sea water was blown up. A few cracks appeared on the originally flat ice surface, all of which showed the fierceness of the explosion of the powder keg just now.

"What's long! Shall we withdraw? Ma Jingbo asked weakly.

Tao Lei smiled bitterly and said, "Ma boy, let's go!" The brothers are all here, and Lao Tzu wants to accompany them here. If I hadn't stayed and defended at the time, you would have survived. Now my brothers are gone, but I'm still alive, what face do I have to retreat! ”

When Ma Jingbo heard Tao Lei's words, he also said: "If you don't leave, I won't leave." I'm going to find out all the brothers! ”

Tao Lei opened his mouth and didn't say anything more. He sat there and watched Ma Jingbo pull out the corpses of the Changxing Army soldiers who had died in battle from the rubble and arrange them in a row in the center of the fortress.

The sky gradually turned white, and the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance. Tao Lei looked into the distance and saw hundreds of Jurchen vests rushing towards their broken fortress.

Tao Lei said to Ma Jingbo with a wry smile: "Ma boy, you didn't leave when I told you to leave just now, and now I can't leave if I want to!" ”

Seeing the Jurchen vests getting closer and closer, the two people in the fortress tensed their bodies and waited for the final moment to come.

A bang broke the dawn of the fortress, and then three hundred Changxing soldiers ran to the front of the fortress and opened fire. The buckshot kept hitting the running Jurchen vest, and the Jurchens of the horse team did not continue to attack.

The battles of the past few days have let them know that rushing into the prepared Changxing arms array is to seek death. Now that the reinforcements of the Changxing army have arrived, they have not attacked either. As soon as you pull out the horse's head, you will turn your head.

Tao Lei and Ma Jingbo's faces finally showed happy smiles, and the life and death experience of this night made them understand the preciousness of life.

They hugged each other and cheered loudly, and four more people came out of the corner of the fortress one after another. They lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at Tao Lei and Ma Jingbo, these four people didn't know where they were hiding just now, and they didn't come out to help even when it was the most critical time.

But Tao Lei still has a big belly and counts them as members of the defense of the fortress, in such a fierce battle, as long as they do not escape, they are admirable heroes.

After learning that the Jurchens actually used the reflection of the ice surface to confuse the Changxing army at night, Changsheng Island increased the intensity of its patrols. The range of vigilance has been extended to the range that trebuchets can attack, and the personnel of each bastion have doubled compared to usual.

There was basically no fighting during the long day, but it was at night when the two sides were fighting.
