Chapter 35: Catch the turtle in the urn and kill the dragon king
"Put!"
Under Wang Zheng's order, the people and recruits who had been prepared for a long time immediately lit the fuse and aimed at the river bank under the wall, where the water bandits landed on the shore, and the number of people was the most dense.
As the first round firearms were dropped, the deafening explosion rumbled incessantly.
When a firearm was thrown at the feet of a big boss, it exploded instantly, and pieces of iron shot out in all directions, a power that even the Tartar soldiers in iron armor would not dare to resist, let alone these naked water thieves.
The big leader was shattered by the explosion, half of his body disappeared, and several of the surrounding bandits were killed by flying pieces of iron before they had time to dodge, and a few of the water bandits who were far away escaped by luck, but they were stunned by the deafening explosion of hesitation, and stood there at a loss, neither running away nor shouting to kill the officers and soldiers.
"It's a sky-shaking thunder, and the officers and soldiers actually have a sky-shaking thunder!"
"Run!"
I don't know who shouted out, so that the water bandits who were in doubt suddenly realized that the officers and soldiers were still carrying this kind of big killing weapon.
Earthquake thunder, also known as iron artillery.
As early as the Northern Song Dynasty, the Han people were equipped with this kind of iron-shelled explosive firearms, generally cast into shells with pig iron, shaped like jars, bowls and other different styles, to the end of the Ming Dynasty, on the basis of iron fire, this kind of explosive firearms have developed by leaps and bounds, and mines, mines and explosive shells have appeared one after another.
The body of the earth-shaking thunder is filled with gunpowder, the shell is wrapped in pig iron, the fuse is installed, the gunpowder is inside, and there is a small hole for placing the ignition wire.
When using according to the distance of the target to determine the length of the lead, after ignition, the gunpowder burns in the closed iron shell, after detonation, the pig iron shell can be blown into pieces, can penetrate the iron armor, is a powerful firearm at that time, widely used by the Ming army to attack and defend the city, water and field battles.
There are two types of sky-shaking thunder, one is ignited by fire, which is fired by a trebuchet and explodes into a distance, and the other is ignited by fire and explodes when it lands.
Wang Zheng had the recruits throw them down from the wall while guarding the wall, with an effect similar to today's grenades.
The bandits were beaten to the head, and this wave of earth-shattering thunder attacks alone turned the narrow riverbank into a hell on earth, with minced flesh and the corpses of the bandits crisscrossing the river, and blood staining the Wuwen River red.
Hearing the rumbling sound, Lang Lijiao's wife screamed again and again, Lang Lijiao looked a little displeased, and got up to ask a small leader.
"What's going on, where did the loud noise come from?"
"I don't know, can't the officers and soldiers bring cannons?" This little leader didn't know anything, so Langlijiao had to give up.
It didn't take long for a big boss to retreat back with the bandits, many of them were covered in color, and the same was true for this big leader, his lower abdomen was scraped by the iron pieces that flew everywhere when the earth-shattering thunder shattered, and he was already dripping with blood at the moment.
"The second master, the brothers can't rush up, there are too many strange-shaped firearms of the dog officers and soldiers, not only the fire dragon out of the water and the divine fire flying crow, but also with the earth-shaking thunder, Lao Wang was beaten to death by the earth-shaking thunder!"
"Don't mention that miserable appearance, a living person, half of his body is lost in an instant."
Hearing this, Langlijiao was groaning, but the woman next to him snorted, "King, the slave family is scared when they hear this voice, the river is strangely cold..."
After appeasing Mrs. Zhai, Lang Lijiao roared angrily: "Wang Datou is dead, you take people to rush again!" ”
"But the dragon king's order is for us to feint..."
The big leader of the bandits glanced at the woman and said weakly.
Lang Lijiao didn't buy his account at all, and the persuasion of this big boss could only be exchanged for another merciless reprimand, and in desperation, he had to take the water bandits to attack the water gate again.
......
Just when the battle on the other side of the Water Gate was in full swing, the River Dragon King finally came to a quiet boulder with dozens of capable water bandits, all biting the snow swords in their mouths.
The River Dragon King did not encounter a single officer and soldier along the way, and this area was quiet, as if no one had set foot all along.
A big leader followed behind the River Dragon King, glanced around, and said with a smile: "Dragon King, it seems that the officers and soldiers are really as you said, they don't know the name of the water village, and they are not fortified. ”
Nodding, the River Dragon King said: "Brothers, the time has come for revenge, let these dog officers and soldiers see how powerful we are, and see if they dare to come to Wuwen River to spread wild!" ”
After saying that, the River Dragon King sneaked in first.
Inside the wall, everywhere is quiet, not even a single officer and soldier patrolling, a puddle is connected to the Wuwen River outside the wall, and dozens of heads biting waist knives slowly emerge from the water.
After all, the River Dragon King was still an old pole, and he was not in a hurry to get out of the water, first glanced around vigilantly, and then listened quietly for a long time, and then couldn't help laughing.
"Let's go! Follow Lao Tzu to copy the back road of the dog officers and soldiers! ”
After speaking, he took a group of capable water bandits to the shore lightly, and heard the shouts and loud noises coming from the water gate, and the river dragon king hurried away with some anxiety.
"It seems that the dog officers and soldiers have brought a lot of firearms, so it's better not to have an accident in the waves."
The River Dragon King was muttering to himself, when suddenly a loud laugh came from one side, and thunderous words came into his ears.
"Damn, you can be regarded as here, I'm so hard to wait! In my opinion, you water thief should worry about yourself! ”
As the voice appeared, dozens of officers and soldiers with spears appeared densely on both sides, and the person who spoke just now was Dong Youyin, and the River Dragon King was suddenly startled.
How would the officers and soldiers know that we would come from here?
Without thinking about it, the River Dragon King knew that he could not hesitate at this moment, raised his sword and shouted, "Brothers, kill the officers and soldiers!" ”
The water bandit gate rushed towards the recruits of the Wendeng camp with a knife screaming, Dong Youyin hurriedly ordered, and the recruits formed a simple defensive formation.
The water bandits were already frightened in the face of the shiny spear tips, but when they saw that many civilians appeared behind these officers and soldiers, all of them holding something that made them even more shocking in their hands, and they were all a little hesitant at the moment.
"Ready!"
At this moment, a bright order came, and a column of people suddenly appeared on the wall, all holding a black earth-shattering thunder in their hands.
"This, this..."
When a big leader saw the dense spears around him and the firearms against him, his legs went limp, and he knelt on the ground with a "poof".
"Officers and soldiers, don't kill me, I don't want to die yet!"
"I don't want to die either!"
In the face of this kind of scene, there is no hope of life, and many of the bandits throw down their swords and surrender on their knees, wanting to escape for their lives.
The green tendons around the neck of the River Dragon King were exposed, and he was obviously angry to the extreme, but he knew that he couldn't do anything, and he was not afraid of the reason that there was no firewood.
He is only a dozen steps away from the puddle, as long as he can run there, even if the officers and soldiers have more firearms, they will not be able to stop him from entering the sea, and he will have a chance to make a comeback!
His face kept changing, and the River Dragon King threw his waist knife to the ground and sneered.
"I want to meet your generals."
Seeing the River Dragon King throw down the knife, Dong Youyin relaxed his guard and said, "The sentry officer is what you want to see?" Hahaha, do your blue sky and white spring dreams, rotten water thief! ”
After speaking, he was laughing, but the river dragon king suddenly pulled his legs and ran away.
Dong Youyin's eyes widened, "Damn, this water bandit wants to run, stop him quickly!" ”
Gao Liang on the wall of the wall has been preventing the water bandits from suddenly making trouble, these water bandits are all Jiangyang thieves, and they have done a lot of murder and goods, so a happy surrender must be no good thing, maybe they are playing with some bad intentions.
If he really guessed, when the River Dragon King turned around, Gao Liang immediately gave an order.
The recruits and the people on the wall of the wall threw down the earth-shattering thunder in their hands, which also caused a chain reaction, and the water bandits who had already surrendered on their knees picked up their knives one after another, some rushed towards the recruits, and some fled to the puddle with the river dragon king.
Below, Dong Youyin's spirit of the recruits tightened, and the fire dragon in his hand came out of the water and shot out towards the bandits.
In the blink of an eye, smoke and dust were everywhere, and the sound of explosions and shouts of killing was endless.
