Chapter 223: A Gunshot Rang Out

The four gates of Chang'an City were closed, and the soldiers on the city wall were constantly running, making preparations before the battle. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Liu Zheng and his guards are constantly distributing cannonballs.

Zhao Shuo's residence, Zhao Shuo looked at Ling Yun with a helpless expression. Originally, the task of distributing shells should have been done by Ling Yun. But Ling Yun was stunned and pushed it away, he knelt in front of Zhao Shuo, and said that he would also participate in the defense of Chang'an City.

Zhao Shuo knows reason, and moves with emotion, but Ling Yun and Ben don't care, they have to participate in the defensive battle whether they live or die.

"Lingyun, this king told you, you are different from them, they are generals who bravely kill the enemy, you are a technical general, the manufacture of various weapons of this king is inseparable from you, so this kind of battle with hostile battles and short-handed handovers is not suitable for you." Zhao Shuo opened his mouth and said.

"Lord Wang, from the moment you left Lin'an, the last general has been following you. At the beginning, the last general was under you, just like Lin Feng and the others, they were all second lieutenants. But now you look at it, even veterans like Zhu Feng have now been promoted to lieutenants, and even Shi Zong, Shi Li, Ju Zheng, Li Zhong and others are already captains. And the last general, now he is still a second lieutenant, just like the official position of Liu Zheng you just canonized, the last general ......" Ling Yun looked at Zhao Shuo with a depressed face.

"Ling Yun, you can't say that, although your official position as a technical general is lower than theirs, its role is greater than theirs. When the entire arsenal develops in the future, your future is limitless. Zhao Shuo said with relief.

"Lord Wang, the last general is a general, although he can make some cannonballs, but his dream is to fight bravely on the battlefield." Lingyun kowtowed. "Please fulfill it."

"Lingyun, this king is still the same sentence, when, when you find the thunder Ling Zhen, that is, your father, to replace you, when you can lead the troops to fight and kill the enemy on the battlefield." Zhao Shuo waved his hand. "Hurry back, this battle is not easy, the arsenal has to produce weapons around the clock, and it can't do without you."

"Lord Wang, the matter of the arsenal has already been arranged." Lingyun vowed not to give up until he reached his goal. "Lord Wang, you let me go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and I won't delay the matter over there in the arsenal."

"Okay, okay, it's really ......" Zhao Shuo was helpless, he had to compromise, but compromise was also measured. Well, then, didn't you make thirteen muskets, and form a musket team, and I will give you command of this musket team, and I will obey me directly, as for your official position? Zhao Shuo pondered for a while and said. Promoted to lieutenant. ”

"A team of thirteen muskets, how many?" Ling Yun was a little helpless and said with some dissatisfaction.

"If you don't want to, forget it, this musket team is going to be commanded by himself, if it weren't for you being so ink, this king wouldn't have handed it over to you!" Zhao Shuo pursed his lips, got up and wanted to leave.

"Lord Wang, the last general knows that he is wrong, the last general will go to form a musket team, as long as the last general is allowed to participate in the defensive battle, not to mention the formation of a thirteen-person musket team, even the last general standing guard in the city tower is also willing." Ling Yun was afraid that Zhao Shuo would regret it, so after finishing speaking, he got up and walked towards the door. He wanted to form a musket team as quickly as possible and take Zhao Shuo's order to the ground.

After sending Ling Yun away, Zhao Shuo shook his head and sighed, then walked to the east gate and climbed the city wall.

"Lord Wang, why are you here!" After learning that Zhao Shuo had come to the east gate, Li Zhong hurried over.

"This king came and took a look!" Zhao Shuo stood on top of the city wall and looked into the distance. The main purpose of his visit this time was to supervise and teach Li Zhong to use small cannonballs.

Li Zhong just came, unlike Lin Feng and Xuan Hao, he didn't know how to use the small cannonball at all. Moreover, the power of small shells is not understood. You must know that there are 2,000 soldiers guarding the east gate, which is the most soldiers among the four, and there are more than 1,000 cannonballs distributed, which is also the most among the four.

If Li Zhong did not use it well, it would cause large losses of soldiers and too many small artillery shells, which would be quite unfavorable to the entire defense of Chang'an City.

"Lord Wang, the Qi army is not far from here, you better go back and rest, just leave it to the last general here." Out of loyalty, Li Zhong didn't want Zhao Shuo to take him here.

"It's good, it's good." Zhao Shuo said lightly. "This king has already asked Ling Yun to form a musket team, I believe it will be time to come over in a while. After a while, the army will attack, and the king is just practicing marksmanship. ”

Li Zhong frowned, looking puzzled, but he didn't speak.

It was not a long time, Ling Yun led a dozen people to the city wall of the east gate, a few people in front of them carrying muskets, and a few people in the back carrying bullets.

Under the puzzled eyes of everyone, Zhao Shuo walked to Ling Yun's side and took the musket in the hand of a soldier. The barrel of the musket is made of iron, and the butt is wooden, and after a comparison, Zhao Shuo said. "Leave me a hundred rounds of ammunition, and I'll practice my marksmanship in a moment."

"Yes!" Ling Yun said respectfully.

Zhao Shuo asked him to make muskets and bullets, but Ling Yun didn't know how to use muskets and bullets. He just made the musket and bullets according to the drawings given by Zhao Shuo.

"The Qi army is here, everyone get ready." The soldiers in charge of the lookout shouted, and the soldiers of the entire east gate city wall immediately entered a wartime state.

Zhao Shuo fiddled with the musket in his hand, he had only played with air guns in his previous life, and he was clear about the principle of firearms, but the real musket had never been used.

I didn't work to shoot birds with air guns before, but this time I had to kill people with muskets, which was a challenge for Zhao Shuo.

However, he knows that in troubled times, there are some things that must be done, and if you don't do it to others, then it will be you who will die.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Shuo loaded the bullets, stood at the battlement of the city wall, closed his left eye, and began to aim at the approaching Qi army.

"Listen to the rebels on the city tower, I am Tang Kuohu, the former army commander under Wang Song, the general of Zhenguo, and give you a stick of incense time to go out of the city and surrender, if you don't surrender, when the time comes, you will step on Chang'an, and the chickens and dogs will not be left." Tang Kuohu was majestic and indispensable, shouting in front of the east gate of Chang'an City.

Bang~!

As soon as Tang Kuohu's words fell, a gunshot came to mind, followed by a miserable scream. The screams were accompanied by a sigh.

Tang Kuohu looked at the fallen soldiers not far behind him, his face was pale and angry. On the city wall, Zhao Shuo kept shaking his head, feeling deeply pity.

This change was too fast, and Li Zhong, Ling Yun and the others had not yet reacted to what was happening.

"Damn, let's sneak attack!" Tang Kuohu pulled out his horse and retreated, hiding behind the soldiers, and ordered. "Siege the city, take Chang'an, the first to climb the city tower, a reward of 1,000 taels of silver."

The Qi army received the general's order and rushed to the city wall of Chang'an City. (To be continued.) )
