Chapter 18
Seeing that his brigade was coming, Ren Qi was overjoyed, and on the one hand, he let people bury the pot and cook, while the whole team rested and prepared to attack. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Seeing this, Sheng Ping hurriedly mobilized the whole village, men, women and children to come to help in the war, and even those refugees who were in slightly better health took the initiative to come to help.
The people of the living family were ready to attack, but Ren Qi was not in a hurry, and when the bandits finished eating, they just formed up and did not attack, Lin Yihu and the others were very suspicious, and they didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd.
After a while, I saw a group of people and horses coming, the number was not much, only seven or eight horses, escorting two carriages, came slowly, only to see a black-faced man in the first place, more than 30 years old, tall and fat, wearing cloth armor, wearing cotton iron hat, riding a tall horse is not majestic. That Ren Qi saw it from afar, and laughed: "My good brother, you are finally here!" "Hurriedly tell the bandits to get out of the way.
Before the convoy went straight into the battle, the big man rode on his horse with an arrogant face and clenched his fists and said, "A certain family has seen Qu Kui!" ”
Ren Qi laughed, pointed at the wall with a horsewhip and said, "Brother Niu, come and see, my cannon may blast open this wall?" ”
It is said that when Ren Qicha arrived in Lushan, he robbed Yanzhou iron mine once, originally just wanted to plunder some weapons pig iron or something, who would have thought that in the end he actually got three tiger squat cannons that had just been cast, usually these grass bandits have been bombarded by the shelling, at this time I saw the cannon that returned, for a time Ren Qi was ecstatic, the baby was terrible, but no one around him would use it, until a few days ago this big man came to vote, it was considered a complete merit.
The big man's name is Niu Bensheng, which is a small flag of Yanzhou Wei, because he took a fancy to the daughter of a large local family, so he went to the door to beg, although the big family is not the door of the official eunuch, but it is also a family heirloom, how can he look at a poor military household like him, so he was humiliated, and sternly refused, Niu Bensheng was angry, pulled out a knife and killed the eleven members of the big family, and raped the girl, and went up the mountain overnight to vote for Ren Qi.
Ren Qi originally boasted of being a righteous army, also known as robbing the rich and helping the poor, for the heavens, after hearing about Niu Bensheng's origin, he wanted to send him down the mountain, and later learned that he would operate the cannon, and immediately his face changed greatly. Who would have thought that this family village would be sent up ......!
Niu Bensheng glanced at the wall of Shengjiazhai, and replied with disdain: "Don't talk about such places, if there is enough gunpowder, a big city like Yanzhou in Qingzhou will also be opened!" ”
Ren Qi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked him to line up to test the cannon.
Niu Bensheng looked at the surrounding terrain, found a flat land more than 150 steps away from the walled gate, and asked his bandits to line up and prepare to fire!
When the people on the walled wall saw the bandits carrying down the cannon from the car, there was chaos! Sheng Ping and Lin Yihu also complained again and again, there were few people on their side, and they relied on this wall, who would have thought that these grass robbers would get cannons? ! Although the power of this tiger squat cannon is not a little worse than that of the Hongyi cannon, but this wall is only one zhang high and three feet thick, how can it withstand the bombardment!?
Although Li Ke didn't know the details of this cannon, he could guess after watching everyone's expressions, and thought that he had seen Yuan Chenghuan kill Nurhachi with a cannon in the TV series, so he asked Lin Yihu: "What is the name of this cannon?" Yuan Chenghuan used such a cannon to bombard the slave chief Nurhachi? ”
Lin Yihu smiled bitterly: "That's not it, this is called the Tiger Squat Cannon, the Hongyi Cannon used by Inspector Yuan was much bigger than this cannon!" ”
"How far can this cannon hit? How powerful? ”
"It doesn't matter how far you can fight, the casting location is different, the size is different, the range is also different, and the smallest one has to take more than 200 steps! As for the power......! Lin Yihu thought about it and smiled bitterly: "It's enough to collapse this wall!" ”
Li Ke and Sheng Ping glanced at each other when they heard this, anxious, and didn't know what to do!
I saw that Niu Bensheng personally adjusted the muzzle of the cannon, nailed the cannon with iron nails, and then cleaned the barrel one by one with a mash, then loaded it into a medicine bag, then loaded it with stones, and tamped it with soil, and finally loaded it with stone pills, picked up the torch and looked at Ren Qi, saw Ren Qi waved his hand, then inserted the fuse, and lit it.
The fuse burned out in the blink of an eye, and all you could hear was "Boom!" With a loud bang, the cannon came out with a ball of fire, really rushed to the wall, everyone on the wall reflexively leaned over and closed their eyes, only to hear the sound of "knock", when everyone opened their eyes to see, the cannon was shot into the open space behind the wall, but it was also lucky, and did not hurt anyone.
Seeing that Niu Ben Sheng didn't hit the wall, he didn't care, but just adjusted the muzzle of the cannon and loaded the medicine again.
Lin Yihu sighed when he saw this, and said to Sheng Ping: "Miss, you take the old and young to hide in the back mountain first!" Let's stop here for a while! ”
Sheng Ping asked anxiously, "Is there no way?" ”
Lin Yihu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "That person is very skilled in handling the cannon, and he will soon adjust the firing range, we have no chance at all, we can only give up our lives in vain, I think they can't ask for food, woman, you take the girls and children to go first, we will block for a while and then leave, leave the food, they have food, presumably they will not be wiped out!" ”
When Li Ke heard him talk about food and women, he suddenly thought of a scene in a movie he had watched - "Casting a Name", and he had a plan, pointed to Niu Bensheng, who was busy, and asked, "Uncle Lin, why is there only one person who is operating the cannon?" ”
Lin Yihu didn't understand what he meant, thought about it and said in a low mood: "This cannon, adjusting the range, aiming, clearing, and charging all require a certain amount of experience and skills, and it is not sloppy at all, if you are not careful, it will explode!" I guess that one of the bandits is the only one who can handle the cannon! ”
Li Ke said with a happy face when he heard this: "In this way, I have a plan, I don't know if it can be done?" ”
Lin Yihu and Sheng Ping's hearts moved when they heard this, and they hurriedly said, "Let's hear it!" ”
"Since he's the only one who can use that cannon, then just kill him!" After Li Ke finished speaking, he smiled and patted the hunting bow on his shoulder.
Lin Yihu said with a look of disbelief: "Look at the location of that cannon, it is not less than one hundred and fifty steps away from ......!" Can you shoot ...... at such a distance? ”
Li Ke smiled and said, "That can't be ......!" But if I'm within a hundred paces, I'm 90% sure! Even if we can't shoot him, as long as we shoot him and slow down the speed of his cannon, it will be very beneficial to us! ”
Lin Yihu thought about it, and asked, "Just how to approach him......?" ”
As soon as they finished asking, Li Ke and Sheng Ping replied in unison: "Surrender!" After saying that, the two couldn't help but look at each other and laugh!
I only heard another "boom", and Niu Bensheng fired another cannon, only to see that the cannon was shot outside the wall, but everyone understood that the cannon was getting closer and closer to the target!
