Chapter 517: Artillery by name
"Mitoyo, I'm here!"
"Come up, come up! By the way, bring your guy with you. Yang Sanfeng danced and shouted: "Dog, it's finally Lao Tzu's turn to take revenge." ”
Soon, under Yang Sanfeng's own hands, everyone threw down the rope and pulled Pete and more than a dozen artillerymen, as well as three small steel cannons and their three boxes of shells.
"Pete, are we brothers?"
"Of course!"
"Okay, you look there with a telescope...... Right! It's the place where there's a soft baffle to stand out. There are two cannons in the back, how about you help me kill them with one shot? ”
After Pete looked at it with a telescope, he stretched out his right hand again, raised his thumb and compared it with the target, and took advantage of the moment when the artillery door was busy setting up a small steel cannon, but he smiled at Yang Sanfeng and said, "Sanfeng, are we brothers?" ”
Yang Sanfeng was stunned: Isn't this the opening remark I just instigated you? Suddenly, a bad premonition came to my heart.
"Of course!"
"Okay, I beg you?"
You goddamn money junkie trying to blackmail me? However, there are not many people who can't control it now, so let's take revenge first.
"You just have to speak."
"When I take out the other party's cannon, can you help me beat up the damn dog?"
"No problem."
Seeing that Yang Sanfeng agreed without thinking about it, Pete glanced at him suspiciously, and threatened: "Let's talk first, if you don't talk about it, don't blame me for not helping you in the future." ”
"Where did you get all this. Lao Tzu spat a nail in one mouthful, and when I saw the dog, I beat him as soon as I saw him. ”
Pete squatted down excitedly, looked at the target with bright eyes, stretched out his right hand, and raised his thumb to ...... Every branch of the armed forces has its proud side, let alone artillery. For them, they are the most powerful class in the world, and the only enemy can only be their peers, so it is their greatest wish to be able to kill their peers in the enemy camp with cannonballs on the battlefield.
After the personal adjustment, Pete immediately flashed to the side, and the three artillerymen holding the cannonball behind him stepped forward and placed the cannonball on the muzzle of the small steel cannon.
"Put!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
Three muffled sounds, three shells "Boom!" Shout! Shout! The ground roared out.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
In the nervous anticipation of everyone, all three shells exploded on the soft baffle in front of the cannon, and immediately blew up the soft baffle all over the sky, and even the gunner who was loading gunpowder was also rushed by the air wave like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers.
The small steel cannon is characterized by its ease of handling and fast rate of fire.
As soon as the three gunners let go, they didn't look at the result, they quickly turned around, each grabbed a shell from the shell box behind him, put it on the muzzle of the shell, and let go. Boom! Boom! In the midst of three muffled sounds, three more shells were fired.
The ballistics of the small steel cannons are all adjusted, and the shells will only fall in a roughly small area. Without the soft baffle, this time, the other party will be unlucky.
As soon as Xiao Bing heard the gunshots coming from the east gate and the north gate, he knew that the general trend was going! Under the pretext of going to reinforce the north gate and the east gate, he let the three masters stay here to take command, and he returned directly to the mansion with half of his men and horses to prepare for the final dying struggle.
The three masters didn't look at the yellow calendar when they got up today, they didn't go far away, and they arrived home when they were lucky.
No, he was in a hurry, in order to kill the people of the special service company as soon as possible, he was hysterically shouting next to the two cannons to let his subordinates speed up, and as a result, the first wave of shells from the small steel cannon exploded and the air wave directly knocked him to the ground.
There was nothing but buzzing in my head. When he came back to his senses, he wanted to get up and dodge, but it was too late.
The second wave of shells landed immediately, and unfortunately, one of them hit the cannon's shell box and caused a massive explosion. In the mushroom cloud, one cannon was overturned by the air wave, and the other cannon was directly blown up five or six meters, and when it fell, it was impartial, and it happened to hit the body of the third master, and he was smashed into meat paste before he could even scream.
The three masters died tragically, the cannon was destroyed, and the rest of the people were so frightened that their legs and feet trembled, and they didn't know who ran first, which triggered a chain reaction, and hundreds of people around them screamed and fled for their lives.
"Pete, you're amazing." Yang Sanfeng jumped up excitedly, pulled Pete to hook his shoulders and put his back, like two villains looking at a beautiful woman, pointed to the temporary fortifications of the enemy on the right, and smiled evilly: "Come on!" Pete, kill the other ones over there. ”
Pete nodded to his subordinates, turned the small steel cannon under his hand, and in the process of re-debugging, he rolled his eyes at Yang Sanfeng and said, "Don't forget what you promised me just now." ”
"No problem, I promise you won't even recognize the person when you beat the dog."
Soon!
"Boom!"
"Huh~!"
"Boom!"
The shell was a little farther away, and landed more than ten meters behind the enemy's fortifications, and although the fortifications did not fall, they immediately blew up six or seven people, killing and wounding one another.
The gunner peeked at Pete a little weakly, and saw that Pete was about to open his mouth - Pete was civilized, polite, and shameless in the punishment of his men. Just one point: deducting bonuses -- Wang Shihua attaches great importance to the artillerymen, and not only gives them a good salary, but also gives them a certain amount of bonuses every month. Of course, the withheld winnings naturally belong to Pete. Frightened, he shouted: "This is a test gun, it doesn't count." "Hurry up and debug, and send it again.
"Boom!"
The shells fell farther.
Pete immediately stepped forward, squatted beside him, and said with a smile: "Don't blame me for not giving you a chance, shoot again, if you can't blow up the fortifications, I will deduct your salary together...... How do I usually teach you? On the battlefield, the more urgent it is, the easier it is to make mistakes, don't worry, take a deep breath...... Right! That's it, take your time...... Debug well, have confidence in yourself...... Now, you try it again. ”
"Boom!"
"Huh~!"
"Boom!"
In a flash of firelight, the fortifications were immediately blown apart, except for seven or eight lying on the ground humming, four or five were blown into the sky.
More excited than he had hit his target, Pete slapped the man on the shoulder and shouted, "Good job, you've kept your pay!" ”
Looking at Pete's expression full of the light of money, listening to his words, how could the subordinate feel so awkward, but he didn't dare to refute, he could only laugh wryly.
"Okay, if you blow up the fortifications over there, I'll give you a chance. But you have to grasp it~! ”
The gunner's heart lifted again.
After carefully comparing the target on the left, after carefully debugging for a long time, he mustered up the courage, with the lofty ideal of starving himself to death without killing the target, picked up the cannonball with a slight tremble, begged for the blessing of the ancestors with great piety, closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and let go......
"Boom!"
"Huh~!"
"Boom!"
The ancestor blessed his rice bowl and hit it with a very successful blow.
"Hit, hit...... Belch~! Battalion commander, I did hit. ”
"If you hit it, you hit it, but what are you doing with my toes? Go back and take your bonus this time to accompany me for medical expenses. ”
And the dog, who didn't know that he was being retaliated by Pete, had been stagnant outside the city, thinking that he understood that as long as the sound of the small steel cannon sounded, the enemy would be chaotic...... Brothers, kill~! ”
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded like spring thunder, the ground that was trampled trembled slightly, and in a burst of shouts of killing, six hundred cavalry swarmed in from the broken mouth of the city wall, shouting all the way "those who surrender will not be killed", which greatly shook the military heart of the rout, and they raised their guns in their hands and knelt down to surrender. He was driven to the big open space at the gate of the south city like a sheep, and was temporarily guarded by the spy company.
Sure enough, the enemy also understood that the tide was turning, and they fled for their lives in a panic, and there was no organized resistance at all.
It took half a minute to run from one end of the main street to the other, and the thousands of cavalry of the four major families completed their rendezvous outside Xiao Bing's mansion.
Immediately, under the order of the dog, the main cavalry force began to besiege Xiao Bing's mansion without attacking, and some of the cavalry scattered into multiple roads, shouting along the way, "The alliance of the four major families is only here for Xiao Bing, and others will not be held accountable." Every family guards its own door and is not allowed to go out...... Those who dare to take advantage of the chaos to harm the inhabitants will be killed! Those who dare to harbor Xiao Bing and his accomplices will be killed! Those who dare to shoot coldly will be killed! Those who dare to take advantage of the chaos to rob will be killed...... Those who capture Xiao Bing alive will be rewarded with 10,000 oceans on the spot; Those who killed Xiao Bing were rewarded with 8,000 oceans on the spot; Whether Xiao Bing's family lives or dies, no one offers a reward of two thousand oceans......"
In a series of shouts, heavy fines and heavy rewards were struck, and the city soon settled down...... In fact, in Xiangxi, everyone is accustomed to the change of the king's flag at the head of the city, as long as the occupiers do not harm the people, generally speaking, the people will be obedient to the people. Of course, with the exception of clans such as the four major families, especially the fight between clans, the old and weak, women and children will go into battle, because even if the defeated side is not slaughtered since ancient times, it will become a low-status slave and lose its original scenery and freedom, so it will be particularly tragic.
The characteristic of the rabble is that they are only good at fighting with the wind! In the face of a strong enemy, the four major families can swear to abide by the covenant and share weal and woe, but now that the victory is in hand, the external pressure is about to dissipate, and the internal struggle of the four major families has inevitably surfaced.
Outside Xiao Bing's mansion, the cavalry commanders of each family met and had a fierce debate on whether to attack Xiao Bing's mansion immediately: the Wang family dispatched more than 400 cavalry this time, which was the largest number of cavalry men. Although the cavalry of the other three families is not as large as the Wang family, they can add up to more than 500, which can be regarded as equal. can be based on their status and status, the three of them are all led by the brothers of the future heads of each family, and the leader of the Wang family, Goudan, is only surnamed Wang, not Wang Shihua's own brother, so his identity is not as good as them. The three families wanted to attack Xiao's Mansion immediately, not giving Xiao Bing a chance to escape and a chance to breathe; However, the dog strictly obeyed Wang Shihua's previous orders, only besieged and did not attack, and after waiting for the arrival of the main force, the main force attacked-the cavalry was carefully selected, and most of them were Wang Shihua's personal guards, which were too valuable for the Wang family to lose.
The two sides became more and more angry, and in the end, they both slapped the table, and they almost got angry.
In the end, Goudan sent a telegram to Wang Shihua and asked him to call the shots.
In Wang Shihua's reply, his tone was extremely harsh: Wang Shihua is the commander elected by all parties among the people who encircled and suppressed Xiao Bing this time, and let the dog strictly implement the previous orders. At the same time, it was more clearly explained to the other three: if they wanted to attack the Xiao Mansion, they would take the lead, and the Wang family would pick up the cheap behind.
One was soft and the other was hard, forcing the leaders of the three of them to shut up indignantly.
When Wang Shihua picked up his pace, he came to Xiao Bing's mansion with Zhao Tianming and saw that his intestines were all remorseful......
