Chapter 140: Surprise Attack
"No. 3 bomb, No. 3 bomb, you don't know the words, and you don't know the red cross on it!!" Under the city wall, the second child of the Huang family ran around behind the six bronze cannons like a madman, and kept shouting hoarsely in his mouth, "No. 4 cannon, No. 4 cannon hurry up and ignite it, can't you do it?" I can't do it next time!"
"Five, five, it's your turn soon, put the muzzle of the cannon straight, and smash it into the enemy building as much as possible!"
"Six, six, don't be in such a hurry! Sixty breath wheels at a time, that's the rule! It's sixty breaths, grandma, what are you doing so fast? Slow down, follow me, take a deep breath, yes, that's it, that's it, remember! After the fifth is ten breaths, it will be your turn! ”
"Auxiliaries, auxiliaries. Your grandmother's, give me a wooden pole to erect on the riverbank. Give me a bridge! Can't ride? Won't you take a hammer and knock it around? If you want to deceive people, you have to pretend to be a little bit! ”
"Who carries a grenade. Which one brought a grenade? Hurry up and get me out on the hour! Stand by the river, light the grenade and throw it at the gate! I don't care if you use a rope or a bamboo pole, you have to throw it on the other side anyway! It's not for you to blow up the door! Lao Tzu doesn't have enough cannons here, so I have to use you to make up for it! ”
The gunners, auxiliaries, and grenadiers who were responsible for protecting the artillery were urged by him to turn around, but the coordination between them was noticeably smoother. Ten breaths of a cannonball, two or three breaths of a wave of grenades, blowing up and down the East City Gate into yellow smoke, as if falling from the world into the hell of Abi.
The smoke cannonball was originally developed by Huang Laowei to sum up the experience of the last battle with the Afghan army, and it was specially developed to deal with war horses. In addition to containing a lot of lead the size of grapes, it also draws on the advantages of the "poison smoke ball" of this era, and specially adds arsenic, grass head black, croton, wolf venom, dogwood, pepper and other substances. Although the lethality is far less than that of ordinary flowering bullets, the irritation of the nostrils has been swung to the extreme. (Note 1)
It's just that no one expected that the first time this thing was put into actual combat, it was not used on the cavalry, but was used by Huang Lao Er to smoke people. Six bronze cannons, fired at intervals of ten breaths, in turns. It wasn't fast, but every shelling pushed the defenders of the city into despair......
From the people who fled during the day, they had already heard of the power of the fire in the hands of the Red Turbans, so they tried their best to hide their bodies behind the battlements so as not to be smashed into a ball of meat sauce by the projectiles. Unexpectedly, the projectile shot by the red scarf this time was no longer a solid iron ball. It is a kind of poisonous thunder that no one can guarantee whether it will bloom or when it will bloom after landing. If it doesn't explode, it's just that, as long as it explodes, it's thick smoke. Even if the surrounding soldiers were not killed on the spot, they were dizzy from the smoke, and snot and tears flowed out together.
"Go up, shoot arrows on top, drop rockets down the city. Don't let them cross the river! Deputy Wanhu Tiejin waved his knife and cut down the two soldiers who escaped from the enemy building, and ordered in a dumb voice.
Although he was standing at the junction between the city wall and the horse road, he was also blackened by the poisonous smoke, and his mind was far less flexible than during the day, "Give me all the top, whoever dares to retreat will be killed!" ”
"My lord, the enemy building, the first pen in the enemy building can't stand, can't stand, wow!" Liu Hulu, the commander who had just run under the iron and gold knife, lay his head on the brick walls on both sides of the road, and vomited, "If, if you force the brothers to, wow, drill into it." No, don't kill him, they'll all be smoked to death! Wow wow! ”
"Huh, nonsense! Smoke, how can this little smoke smoke people to death! Deputy Wanhu Tiejin pointed at the back of the head of the thousand-commander Liu Hulu with the tip of his knife, and threatened loudly, "You, you can't get on, don't get on, don't blame, wow!" ”
Halfway through his words, he also threw up on the brick wall. Snot and tears flowed down his cheeks in strings.
"General, general, I can't stand it, I really can't stand it!" The Mongolian commander Paulig also ran down, his beard covered with white spit. "The red turban thief put the broken intestine grass in the fire thunder, and after smoking it for a long time, even if he is not dead, the brother will not be able to hold a knife!"
"General, general, hurry up and raise the fire and ask for help from Lord Daru Huachi. Guys, guys, you really can't stand it! On the horse road on the other side of the enemy building, Zheng Wannian, the head catcher of Huai'an City, also ran down, followed by dozens of yellow-faced villagers, "Red turban thieves, red turban thieves have begun to build bridges, and if you don't ask for help, the east gate will definitely be the first to be breached!" ”
"Nonsense! I didn't even see the shadow of the red scarf thief, how could Lao Tzu ask for help? Deputy Wanhu Tiejin wiped the snot and tears on his face with his cloak, and responded angrily. Even if they build a bridge, the three-zhang high city wall, they can't climb it for a while! ”
As if it was specifically to sweep his face, "Bang! The east gate of Huai'an City suddenly made a muffled sound, and it was smashed to the ground. Immediately after, an explosion sounded through the doorway, and thick smoke poured in through the cracks in the doorway.
"They're slamming on the door, they're slamming the door with a big gun!" The defenders, who had retreated to the side wall of the urn city, opened their throats and shouted. Some of them immediately ran to the junction of the city gate and the horse road, and prepared to go down to strengthen the city gate. Others stared at desperate eyes, dumbfounded and overwhelmed.
"Kill, kill into Huai'an City, and the captors will tickle it!"
"Kill, tickle the captor alive, sell him to the Tartar Emperor!!"
"Kill, break Huai'an City, and the captors will tickle it alive!"
The earth-shattering shouts of killing came from the opposite side of the city gate. There was also the sound of a hammer smashing on wood in the middle, as well as the sound of messy and noisy footsteps.
"Boom!" Another poisoned bomb exploded in the enemy tower, billowing yellow smoke and sending blue flames around the pillar. Even the most daring person has no courage to hold out in the enemy building. With a face of snot and tears, he crawled out and lay on the edge of the road and gasped for breath.
Deputy Wanhu Tiejin had just fought a defeated battle during the day, and he was originally undecided. At night, I squatted in the enemy tower for half the night, exhausted. After being smoked by poisonous smoke and shouting and killing, even if you are old in the army, you can no longer maintain your composure. Hearing the muffled thunder outside the door, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Someone, ride my horse, ride my horse to ask Lord Daru Huachi for help." At the east gate, the thieves immediately came in from the east gate! ”
"Yes!" A few heralds on standby under the city wall immediately jumped on horseback, whipped their mounts a few times, and rushed towards the palace at a gallop. Seeing the frightened soldiers and Minzhuang along the way, they all drove to the direction of the east gate without hesitation, "Quick, go and support the east gate." The east gate is tight. If you don't want the red scarf thief to come in and raid the house, hurry up. Lord Tiejin will not forget you! ”
Those people who help patrol the night are all the families of several big salt merchants, where have they ever seen such a scene?! Listening to Tiejin's personal soldiers, they were anxious, and they didn't even think about it, so they immediately hugged each other and ran towards the east gate, and while running, they didn't forget to beckon more people to help, "East Gate, the red turban thieves have attacked the east gate." ”
"East Gate, the Red Turban Army blew up the door with palm thunder!"
"East Gate, the Red Turban Army blew up the East Gate with palm thunder, hurry up, hurry over! It's too late to go any further! ”
For a time, most of the soldiers and people in Huai'an City knew that the East Gate was in distress. But all those who could pull away were led by their respective centurions, and they were killed like ants gathering towards the east gate. When Tiejin sent his own soldiers for help to the palace, the danger had been artificially magnified more than ten times. It turned out that the east gate was broken, and the enemy and us were fighting to the death in the urn city.
Daru Huachi was teased by Chu Buha for a long time, and he couldn't even remember the names of the Menghan generals under his hands. At the critical moment, how can it be possible to distinguish the truth of the danger? When he saw Tie Jin's cronies coming to rescue the soldiers, he immediately panicked. didn't even dare to ask in detail, grabbed the order arrow on the table, and sent it down regardless of it, "Shu, you take my own soldiers to the east gate immediately, and resist me, no matter what, the people from the other gates come to support." Hahin, go to the west gate, send half of the soldiers and horses down, and go to the east gate at once. Brother Xing, Naradin, you two go to the south gate and the north gate, and let them divide half of the men and horses to support Tiejin. Everyone else, all of them give me armor, and today Lao Tzu will take you to live and die with Huai'an. ”
Although he doesn't know soldiers, as a city of Daru Huachi, he still has some blood and bravery. When all the soldiers saw that his last sentence was full of violent, their hearts sank, and no one dared to talk any more nonsense, and they all agreed to carry out the order.
Because of the abundance of the treasury, the streets in the city are very neatly repaired. The herald's own soldiers galloped wildly, and soon the order was sent to several other gates. The guards in charge of the city defense listened to the continuous thunder at the east gate, and the shouts of killing were earth-shattering, and they were already as anxious as ants on a hot pot. At this moment, when he received Dalu Huachi's general order, how could he dare to delay any longer? When they were about to divide their own soldiers into two, they picked up the elite among them, and sent their henchmen to run towards the east gate.
And the enemy tower at the east gate has already been burned into a large torch at this moment. The golden flames danced up and down wrapped in thick smoke, and could be clearly seen from dozens of miles away.
The general in charge of guarding the north gate, Hairuddin, was a cautious man, and he had been listening to the shouts of killing at the east gate for more than half an hour, but there was no sign of weakening or strengthening, and the muffled thunder continued from beginning to end. Doubts gradually became in his heart, turned his head, and asked his henchman Zhao Xiucai: "We also have that gun on the city wall, even if we don't fill the dosage with the medicine, we will continue to fight like this, and if we hit it for half an hour, it should have been blown up a long time ago." Why is the sound of the gun outside the east gate tonight, but it is endless! ”
"Dong Weng doesn't know!" Zhao Xiucai immediately shook the feather fan, shook his head and explained, "That Zhu Eighty-one, it is said that he was born on the first day of August, and he has a golden life, but he is also surnamed Zhu, and the Zhu of cinnabar is the most helpful for fire luck." It was made of pure brass, and it was filled with gunpowder, both gold and fire. So if it falls into the hands of others, you have to stop after hitting it seven or eight times, otherwise it will explode. If it falls into the hands of the surnamed Zhu, not only will the power increase exponentially, but the gun will also become particularly strong. ”
"Then according to what you say, isn't Huai'an City more auspicious this time?!" Hayruddin listened confused, and continued to ask with a frown.
"No, no!" Zhao Xiucai continued to shake the feather fan gently, as chic as the brightness of Zhuge and mysterious as the buds of purple ginger, "Our Huai'an City, the name itself carries three points of water." Huai'an, Huai'an, there is water. And the city is surrounded by water on all sides. Although Zhu Eighty-one is cinnabar fire gold, when he encounters the water of our Huai'an, I am afraid that he will have to return this time! ”
"Really?" Hayrudin was overjoyed, and his eyebrows twitched up and down.
"It's all true, and the small ones don't dare to blow it. This astronomical geography, yin and yang gossip, has been immersed in more than ten years. If you can't even be sure of that, General? ”
As he was blowing in the sky, he saw that Hairuddin was looking straight behind him, and his legs and hands trembled like crazy chicken claws. Turning around, I saw a row of evil ghosts with a stench all over their bodies rushing up the road, and everywhere they passed, all those who stood in the way were cut in two.
