Chapter 35: The Bombardment of the Smelter
Before he had time to think about it, Marco took out a grenade from his arms, pulled it out and threw it along the window, boom! With a bang, the hut where the guards were sleeping was overturned by the grenade in an instant.
These guards outside, seeing the little man in front of them, didn't know what to throw into the house, the house collapsed, and they were all stunned for a while, Xiang Luyang and Ma Ke took advantage of their stunned moments, the daggers in their hands waved again and again, and in an instant, all the guards were solved by two people.
Looking at Marco who was panting there, Xiang Luyang spoke: "Don't be flustered, come and help, and as he spoke, he aimed a cannon at the mouth of the tunnel." ”
Although Marco has never used this kind of primitive cannon, he has seen people use it in the movie, and while loading gunpowder, he said to Xiang Luyang: "Company commander, this thing doesn't even have a sight, can you shoot accurately?" ”
Xiang Luyang said: "I can't control so much now, let's shoot first, and then I should practice my hands." ”
When they were loading their ammunition, the light of the torches could already be faintly seen at the mouth of the secret passage, Xiang Luyang adjusted the position of the muzzle, and before he had time to think about it, he lit the fuse.
When Xiang Luyang pointed the lead, Marco had already begun to load another cannon, which is one of the reasons why Xiang Luyang likes Marco, this kid has work in his eyes, he will come to trouble, I don't need you to command, I know what you are going to do next.
Rumble! With a loud bang, the shell did not explode at the mouth of the secret passage, but exploded at a distance from the secret passage, Xiang Luyang saw that the direction was not deviated, but the amount of medicine was a little less, and said to Marco beside him: "This time the dose is doubled." ”
At this time, the leader of the guards in the secret passage, seeing the explosion in the direction of the secret passage, hurriedly commanded the soldiers to rush out, he knew that there was a certain gap during the two loading of the cannon, if his people did not take advantage of this time to rush out, the secret passage would be blown up for a while, and his own people, even if they wanted to, they would not be able to get out.
But just as his people were about to reach the entrance of the secret passage, suddenly a loud noise came, followed by a mountain shaking, and the earth and stones on the cave wall began to fall, looking at the soldiers not far away with a painful face, the leader of the guard could not hear anything, he knew that the loud noise just now blew up the entrance of the cave at the same time, but also deaf his ears.
After the entrance of the cave collapsed, Xiang Luyang did not stop, and while turning the muzzle of the cannon, he said to Marco: "Don't move the cannon, the dosage is still filled according to what was just filled, and I will come over to help after filling it in." ”
At this time, the smelter was already in a mess, all the guards rushed out, while getting dressed, they ran towards the valley mouth, seeing these guards rushing up with torches, Xiang Luyang was amused in his heart, "These people's combat methods are really too primitive, knowing that there are cannons here, and holding torches for themselves as coordinates, since you are so cooperative, I will give you two shots first." ”
With the experience of the reloading just now, Xiang Luyang was much more accurate this time, and the first cannon exploded in the middle of the person who rushed to the front, followed by the second cannon and the third cannon all exploded in the crowd, and the smelter became a sea of fire in an instant.
Hearing the sound of cannons, Ye Qiushui hurriedly gathered all the workers in the mine together, watching Ye Qiushui skillfully kill the guards, everyone showed a look of fear and expectation, what was afraid was that Ye Qiushui killed people without blinking, and what he was looking forward to was that he finally had the opportunity to escape from this hell on earth.
Gao Yingxiang saw that Xiang Luyang's side had already succeeded, and said to Gao Biying excitedly: "Brother Xiang's side has succeeded, let's hurry up and go, Gao Biying agreed, and also followed the army to start moving." ”
After a round of shelling, Xiang Luyang and Marco stood at the mouth of the valley, there was really a feeling that a husband and a man could not be opened, looking at the valley that had already become a sea of fire, Marco said to Xiang Luyang: "I didn't expect this primitive artillery to have such great power." ”
Xiang Luyang said: "In fact, China's gunpowder technology, in the Ming Dynasty, has been widely used, although this kind of artillery seems primitive, but has begun to take the prototype of modern artillery. ”
Just when the two were chatting, suddenly a small group of people and horses climbed up from the position where they climbed into the valley just now, and also climbed up, Xiang Luyang told Ma Ke to be optimistic about the situation in the valley, he picked up a long knife from the ground, and pounced towards this group of people, from tonight with someone Xiang Luyang found the disadvantages of the dagger, this weapon is okay with close quarters, but if it is a face-to-face fight, it still suffers a lot of losses, if it encounters a weapon like a spear, then there is no advantage at all, So Xiang Luyang already has a plan to re-prepare weapons for everyone.
Xiang Luyang rushed to the front and back, and found that the group of people led by the overseer who beat him with a whip during the day today, and without saying a word, Xiang Luyang slashed with a knife.
When the overseer saw that the person who caused this chaos was actually a laborer who had been beaten by himself today, he was very determined, and while commanding people to resist, he said to Xiang Luyang: "Boy, I see that you are impatient, and you dare to make trouble even in the smelter of King Kang's majesty, aren't you afraid that after we catch you, we will break your body into thousands of pieces?" ”
Xiang Luyang waved the steel knife in his hand and said to the overseer: "Ten thousand pieces of corpses, that is also a matter of the future, you better take care of the present, if I want to catch you, I will pay back a hundred times the revenge of today's whip." ”
The overseer smiled and said: "Death is coming, and I am still thinking about revenge, if I were you, I would obediently tie my hands and arrest you, maybe I will give you a happy uncle." ”
Xiang Luyang said: "I'm not so kind, if I catch you, I won't let you die too happily." ”
The overseer was about to speak, and suddenly felt that the situation was not right, the seven or eight people who came up with him just now had been put down by Xiang Luyang at this time, and the remaining two, seeing that they couldn't hold on for long, saw that the situation was not good, the overseer was about to run back from the rope, and his hand was just about to touch the rope, and a flying knife was about to cut off the rope that was close at hand.
Xiang Luyang took the overseer who was like chaff in his hand, returned to Marco, and slammed the person in his hand to the ground, Xiang Luyang said to Marco: "How is the situation down there, is there anyone rushing up?" ”
Ma Ke said: "These people are not stupid, being a soldier is just to eat a meal, you let them oppress the people, they may be okay, if you let them play with their lives, it is estimated that they would have taken off this military uniform one by one and gone home to farm." ”
Xiang Luyang said: "Don't take it lightly, we must hold out here until dawn, you will send a signal to Officer Ye in a while, let her come and join us, and after dawn for a while, we can retreat together." ”
Marco agreed, found a dry branch from the side, lit it, and made a few moves towards the cave where Ye Qiushui was hiding, and then lit the cannon facing the secret passage, and fired another shot at the mouth of the secret passage.
