Covering his ears and looking at the fire from the muzzle, Meng Xu's heart was a little stunned.

Although he is a general of the Shenji Battalion, from the bottom of his heart, Meng Xu is not very interested in this kind of fighting, killing, especially when the opponent is the Ordnance Division headed by Xie Hong.

Unlike those adults on the head, General Meng Shen has a very good impression of Xie Hong, don't look at this young man being turned into a plague god, but Meng Xu dares to vouch with his head, this Lord Xie is indeed a particular person, at least every time he buys something, he gives real money, not those pit people's silver money.

In addition, Lord Xie doesn't care when he buys things, not to mention the large amount he buys, he doesn't find fault with much, and he even pays the money with one hand and delivers the goods with the other, which is much better than those who come to buy things with the slips issued by various yamen.

Alas, it's a pity that such a particular person will have to live a hard life in the future. Meng Xu lamented in his heart, how happy he was during this time, every time the wealth was rolling in, everyone was harmonious...... Master Xie is very powerful, because he sold him more saltpeter gunpowder a while ago, and he actually gave himself a VIP brand of Lichun Courtyard in order to thank himself!

Oh, my God! What a generous way this is, that's Lichun Temple! The first class of the capital is located. With this brand, when you go to Lichun Courtyard, you are a VIP, there are many preferential treatments, and the most important and exciting one for Meng Xu is that you can choose a top position when watching the performance!

That's the kind of treatment that many people dream of! If the girls who are performing are dressed with a sense of surname, they can even smell the fragrance of the girls. can enjoy such treatment, how can Meng Xu not be excited?

Meng Xu is also a grateful newspaper, if it weren't for the sudden order from the Ministry of War, he would even want to send all the saltpeter gunpowder in stock to Xie Hong, even if it is delivered to the door.

Rao was strictly ordered by the Ministry of War, and for the sake of righteousness and gratitude, he still quietly appropriated a lot of gunpowder, and secretly sent it in when he was besieging the Ordnance Division...... Of course, this is also rewarding, that is, the gold of yellow, orange and orange, otherwise how can you say that Lord Xie is a particular person?

What a pity! Meng Xu sighed in his heart again. From the bottom of his heart, if he could call the shots, the Shenji Battalion would definitely retreat immediately. He knew very well that after the Ordnance Division was breached, it would definitely change hands, and the eight achievements that took over were those fellow villagers of Lord Gu, those businessmen from the south of the Yangtze River were shrewd, and their hearts were also dark!

The merchants in the north all buy iron and salt, which is the in-demand goods on the grassland, and they are not compatible with the Shenji Camp.

Therefore, most of the people who always take strips to buy things in Shenjiying are these Jiangnan people. It doesn't matter if you buy something, but you have to give money when you take something, how natural is it? But these black-hearted guys always give silver money, which says it can be used as silver, but in fact, the store will accept this?

Unless you're carrying a knife in your other hand, no one will pay attention to you. If you are outside, you can do this, but this is the capital, which business has no support behind it? If you accidentally run into a big guy, you will be unlucky, where can the knife compare to the handle?

I can't bear to see it! Meng Xu is very familiar with those who always come to pull goods, and they have dealt with them many times, and the relationship is also very good. The bald one is very generous; The loud one is very well-informed, and he can know in advance what show will be staged in Lichun Courtyard, and there is ...... They're all good people!

No wonder the old people say: good people don't live long, these good people will die.

Meng Xu sighed again, as a general of the Shenji Battalion, he knew very well the power of the general cannon, and within a hundred steps, it was definitely invincible. The walls of the capital may be helpless, but the walls of ordinary county towns will definitely not be able to stop the salvo of the general artillery.

What's more, the courtyard wall of the Ordnance Division is not a city wall, and there are ten cannons on his side, so I am afraid that under one round of shooting, the courtyard wall will collapse.

The only thing that is fortunate is that he doesn't need to face those old friends directly, and after the courtyard wall is blasted open, the Shenji Battalion only needs to be on guard outside and attack the people on the wall with firearms. Rushing into the Arsenal Division to kill people, there are 3,000 battalions and regimental battalions of elite men and horses to do it, so it is worthy of those good people...... Pacifist Meng Xu thought.

"Boom!" The sound of the cannon was still in his ears, and there was another loud bang on the side of the Ordnance Division, Meng Xu knew that this was the sound of the cannonball hitting the courtyard wall, according to his previous experience, after such a sound, there would be a sound of collapse and screams. He closed his eyes, unable to bear to see them.

"General Meng, what's going on?" The expected voice didn't wait, but waited for Xiao Zongbing's question.

"Huh?" When Meng Xu opened his eyes, he was immediately confused, although it was in the night, but under the light of the torches, he could still see the situation on the other side. The wall of the courtyard did not move at all, it still stood there well, guarding the Ordnance Division, and there was not even a hole in it, obviously this round of shelling was a complete failure.

"Uh-huh, what?" Xiao Nuo shouted angrily: "General Meng, what is the Shenji Battalion doing? It can't be a combination with the inside of the fan, right? Otherwise, with the power of the general's cannon, how could it be that not even a single brick was knocked down? This is a siege guy! ”

He also knew the tricks that Meng Xu was doing behind his back, but since Meng Xu was a person who knew both the eyes and the times, and set aside his share of General Xiaobing, he would turn a blind eye, didn't the civil officials often say: Thousands of miles are only for money? This can be regarded as a response to the words of the sages.

However, when we come out to be officials, we have to make a clear distinction between public and private, right? Attacking the Ordnance Division is a major matter related to everyone's net worth and life.

Because of the reliance of the Shenji Battalion, Xiao Nuo did not prepare other siege equipment, not to mention the trouble of using those things, and with the ferocity of the fans, he was afraid that if he won the siege by conventional means, he would suffer heavy casualties, of course, it was not advisable. Or after bombarding with artillery, take advantage of the opponent's heavy casualties and low morale, and kill it in one fell swoop, this is the royal way.

But at such a critical moment, there is a moth here in the Shenji Battalion, can Mr. Xiao not be angry? Seeing that the sword soldiers are about to meet, don't you look for death when you keep your hands at such a time? When the fight starts, the fans inside may not miss your love.

"The last general doesn't know what's going on, huh?" Meng Xu also knew why Xiao Nuo was angry, but he felt that he was very innocent, the conscience of heaven and earth, except for a few tears in his heart, he had never provided any help to the Ordnance Division, how could he become like this?

"Have you had enough gunpowder? Don't save it, this is a matter of life and death, cheer up Lao Tzu. Meng Xu turned to a few gunners, and roared angrily, completely transmitting the anger of General Xiao Bing.

"Your Excellency, the real gunpowder is not adulterated at all! Dare to take the surname to vouch for the name, the cannon just now is very powerful, I don't believe it, you are watching here, and then you will be loaded with medicine again, and then another cannon will be released. The gunner was a fierce temper, and he pushed Meng Xu back with a stalk on his neck.

"You ......" Meng Xu couldn't hold it on his face, and raised his hand to fight, but he hesitated and didn't dare to start. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the Shenji Battalion, don't look at the one in front of him who is just a gunner, but he is also the founding honorary, this identity is of course a floating cloud in front of Wenchen, but against him as a general, he really won't fall behind.

"Ben will be watching here, General Meng, you let the gunners reload the medicine and fire another shot, this time Ben will look carefully." Xiao Nuo decided that Meng Xu released the water, where did he care about the mushy matter between him and the gunner, who knows if it was a show for people to see? This trick is something that Lao Tzu has long left! Therefore, he also stood still near the general cannon, staring at the gunner and ordering.

"Then look at it......" the gunner muttered angrily, but his movements were skillful, and he was ready quickly, even half as long as the other gunners.

"Well, let's shoot."

For firearms, Xiao Nuo is not a complete layman, and after reading the gunner's loading process, he can't find anything wrong. Because the gunner in front of him moved quickly, he even had time to look at the movements of the other gunners, and they were all the same, there were no flaws, and Meng Xu should be blamed for releasing water or something.

Of course, he is the chief soldier, and he does not need to explain to his subordinates, as long as he orders the battle to proceed as usual.

"Boom!" Another round of shelling.

This time, Xiao Nuo and Meng Xu both stared with wide eyes, and after the cannon sounded, they saw that the parapet of the Ordnance Division trembled slightly, and then ...... It just trembled a little, slightly, and then there was no movement.

"......" The two generals looked at each other speechlessly, this is a general cannon, even if it hits the city wall of the capital, it will have to break down a few pieces of rubble, right? Why is the wall of this armory division so hard? After two rounds of shelling, not even a corner of the wall was dug down, this parapet wall is simply an impregnable copper wall! What's going on?

"General Xiao, General Meng, what are you doing? Didn't the old man already order you to attack? What are you hesitating about now? Isn't it because he is afraid of the enemy like a tiger and cowers? "The two of them are in a daze, but Liu Daxia is so anxious, if he can't beat the Ordnance Division, he can't enter the palace to save the driver, and if he can't save the driver, he can't be promoted, how simple is this, of course Liu Shangshu knows it.

"The last general is attacking, but ......" Xiao Nuo also felt that he was very innocent, the firearms of the Shenji Battalion were one of the biggest reliance of the Offensive Ordnance Division, and the three thousand battalions were cavalry, let them climb the wall to attack the city, and the opponents were those fierce fans, so I was afraid of ...... The soldiers and horses of the Fifth Army Battalion are basically here to make a strong noise, even if they don't care about casualties, it is difficult to let them fight a tough battle.

"This damn annihilator!" After Liu Daxia figured out the situation, he also gritted his teeth and scolded Xie Hong angrily. Needless to say, the parapet must have been manipulated by Xie Hong, as for what it is, I don't know, anyway, I can't expect to use the general's artillery to break through the parapet wall, looking at the current situation, even if it hits overnight, it may not be successful, and we have to find another way.
