Chapter 427: Flesh and Blood

Liu Guozhen, who was standing on Wang Shixuan's side, watched the thief army camp halfway up the mountain gradually take shape, and the self-army attacking soldiers were suppressed by the thieves' bows and arrows and rolling logs, and they couldn't advance or retreat on the mountain road, and their hearts were also depressed.

Looking at the several general cannons in front of him that were not as long-range, Liu Guozhen suddenly had an idea, and said to Wang Shixuan: "At present, the matter is urgent, and we can't delay it, if we can't capture the half-mountain bandit camp, our army will probably lose all its efforts, and we have to break our wrists and evacuate this place as soon as possible!" ”

When Wang Shixuan heard this, he was silent at first, then nodded heavily, and said, "What do you think Brother Liu?" ”

Liu Guozhen thought about it, and finally said: "Now the only person that our army can rely on is the great general's cannon in front of us, how can it not have the range, and it can't make a contribution to the shelling like before." However, I have also seen people use the general cannon under the mark, and it is not complicated to increase the range, either to increase the amount of medicine or to reduce the weight of the projectile. Just doing this, there is a high risk of blowing up the chamber. However, at this time, the matter is urgent, and our army may be able to try. ”

As soon as Liu Guozhen said this, Wang Shixuan patted his head, seemed to have a sudden realization, and seemed to regret it, and said: "Oops! How did I forget this stubble! We still have less to do with such a thing?! ”

After saying this, Wang Shixuan immediately shouted at the gunners around him: "I heard it!?" Hurry up and do it for Lao Tzu! ”

Due to the different specifications of the general cannon cast in the Ming Dynasty, the charge of each cannon is also different, and no one knows what the limit of the general cannon in front of him is.

It's just that last year, in a military order sent to the nine sides, the Imperial Court Armament Institute had already limited the maximum charge of the general's cannon, and this restriction not only reduced the explosion of the general's cannon by eight or ninety percent at once, but also reduced the range and power of the general's cannon a lot.

Wang Shixuan, as the deputy general of the Central Army in Shanxi Town, of course knew that the general's cannon would explode if the amount of charge exceeded the limit, and once the chamber was blown up, the gunner who fired the cannon would almost certainly die.

However, at this time, seeing that the sun is about to set over the top of the west, if you don't take down the thief army camp halfway up the mountain, how dare your own soldiers camp under this mountain tonight, if you withdraw from the current camp, wouldn't it be a waste of all your efforts?!

At that moment, the gunners listened to Wang Shixuan's order, although some people resisted in their hearts, but finally some people were lucky, and increased by two percent according to the amount, and then ignited and fired.

This time, the cannon roared even louder, and the range was indeed much farther, and the landing point was already close to the thief camp halfway up the mountain.

The thieves on the camp heard the sound of the upper and lower cannons again, and the projectiles were close to the camp, and there was a commotion.

When Wang Shixuan saw this situation, he was overjoyed, and seemed to see the hope of taking the camp with artillery, and immediately ordered the gunners to increase the amount of medicine by two percent and fill more scattered projectiles.

The gunners operated cautiously, and the others subconsciously moved a few steps away from the guns.

After a while, the general's cannon that increased the amount of medicine was ignited again, and the roar resounded through the valley deafeningly, and the landing point of the projectile finally covered the camp of the thief army in the middle of the mountain.

The elite of the Shanxi town army crawling on the mountain road, seeing the thief army in a mess, dropped the artillery that was stuck in the middle of the mountainside, and attacked upwards with a shield in one hand and a knife in the other.

Seeing this situation, the mood of the Ming army under the mountain was high, and they shouted and cheered, and Wang Shixuan was also very happy in his heart.

However, it was only a blink of an eye, and the thief army on the mountain threw out a wave of arrows again, and the Ming army on the mountain road also squatted on the ground and raised their shields to cover it, unable to continue to advance.

This instantaneous change made Wang Shixuan turn from joy to anger, and he was immediately angry, and shouted loudly to the gunners not far in front of him, quickly reload ammunition, and continue to bombard the bandit camp on the slope.

"Charge! Charge! Shoot Lao Tzu again! ”

Hearing the roar of the commander-in-chief, the gunners cleaned the chambers and carefully continued to charge and reload the projectiles, but after all these preparations were completed, the gunners in charge of ignition did not dare to ignite the fire.

Seeing this, Wang Shixuan was furious, suddenly pushed away the soldiers in front of him, strode forward, kicked the gunner in the head, walked over and picked up the torch that fell on the ground, and put it on the fire door of the general's cannon.

Liu Guozhen, who was originally standing beside Wang Shixuan, didn't expect Wang Shixuan to personally come forward and light the fire, and he was terrified at the moment and shouted: "Be careful of blowing up!" ”

As soon as Liu Guozhen's voice fell, there was a "boom" sound, and there was smoke in front of him.

Before Liu Guozhen could figure out what was going on, he was knocked out a few steps away by the soldier who flew upside down in front of him, and fell to the ground on his back.

Sure enough, it exploded!

Liu Guozhen opened his eyes, looking at the chaotic scene of flesh and blood flying in front of him, his heart was terrified, he stood up but couldn't call his body, he opened his mouth to shout but couldn't even hear his own voice.

Seeing that the camp of the self-army, which was still orderly just now, suddenly fell into a panic, and the self-sergeant ran and shouted something, and not only could not move, but also couldn't hear anything, how could he not be frightened in his heart!

He raised his eyes to look for the figure of Wang Shixuan, the commander of the army, but he couldn't find it, only saw a few of Wang Shixuan's personal soldiers, who were surrounding his bloody body, crying and shouting something.

After a while, Liu Guozhen felt that someone was dragging him, and gradually the roar in his head weakened, and he could vaguely hear someone shouting in his ear: "General!" Counselor! The general's cannon is blown up! Vice Wang blew up his old man's house to death! ”

Liu Guozhen shook his head vigorously, and gradually regained consciousness, his ears gradually heard clearly, and his hands and feet also obeyed.

After a while, Liu Guozhen tried to struggle to sit up, first looked at his hands, feet and body, and found that there was nothing less, nothing more, and he breathed a sigh of relief at the moment, and said to the people around him: "Help me up!" ”

At this time, the hustle and bustle of the camp also clearly reached the ears of Liu Guozhen, and only someone was heard shouting loudly: "The thief army is down!" The thieves are down! ”

Liu Guozhen broke free from the support of the soldiers around him, picked up a beautifully decorated knife from the ground, and looked at it in amazement.

This is the Qi knife that Wang Shixuan regards as a treasure and never stands up easily!

Wang Shixuan's Qi knife is a stainless steel Qi knife made by the Ordnance Bureau of the Armament Institute in Baiye City, which is heavy and extremely sharp, but the output is limited, even the first-line border army generals cannot be distributed by everyone, let alone the second-line border army like Shanxi Town.

Therefore, the stainless steel Qi knife produced by the Baiyecheng Ordnance Bureau is a rare thing for many Ming generals who like Qi knives.

At this time, Liu Guozhen was holding this Qi knife, but he couldn't speak, thinking to himself, Wang Shixuan is really dead!

Before Liu Guozhen could fully wake up from his dizziness, he heard the soldiers around him shouting at him: "My lord, the thief army has come down!" I'm afraid the brothers above can't stop it! ”

The words of the soldiers beside him made Liu Guozhen shocked, and he suddenly realized that this time it was not just a bomb! If the army is not careful, it will be the end of the whole army!

However, when he finally came to his senses, the situation in front of him was out of control!

Originally, the "Flying Tiger" Gao Jinku had already sent someone to ask Wu Yangui, the "King of the Whole World", to withdraw to Huangluling, but as soon as the people here were sent out, the cannon that made Zi's heart tremble so much under the mountain actually exploded!

Gao Jinku saw with his own eyes that the cannon blew up the people who lit the fire and the people around him, and he was overjoyed at the moment.

At the same time, the minions who were originally filmed back to ask for orders to retreat also brought back the latest order of the "Whole World King", ordering the "Flying Tigers" to immediately go down the mountain and attack the official army under the mountain, and recapture the lost camp under the mountain of the lantern department!

Gao Jinku was ordered, and he was no longer slack, and immediately led the men and horses of the troops who were entrenched in various camps on the mountainside to rush down the mountain.

The elite battalion soldiers of Shanxi Town, who had been ordered to drag artillery up the mountain, were in a panic and didn't know what to do.

However, this part of the elite of the Shanxi town army is the elite, but it is also invincible with two fists and four hands, and the thief army is unstoppably rushing down the mountain like a flash flood, which is not at all something that can be stopped by this mere 200 elite soldiers.

Whether they fought desperately to the death, or turned around and fled, in the face of the thief army with absolute numerical superiority, they all ended the same, and they were soon drowned on the mountain road by the thief army of the "Flying Tiger" who rushed down.
