The Tiger Squat Cannon was originally obtained by this Qi Shaobao, who was transformed from the old bowl-mouth guns, Zhankou guns, poisonous tiger cannons, and Sakura cannons in the army. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info made great achievements with the Qi army when he pacified the Jiangnan rebellion, and then the towns on the nine sides competed to imitate it, and there were many models.

The tiger squat cannon borrowed by Ziren was equipped by the previous cavalry team, weighing 30 catties, about 1 foot 8 inches long, about 2 inches thick in the abdomen, and can be charged with six taels. In order to block Mengnu's attack, Ziren specially placed it in the gap in the ice wall. Due to the rush of time, it was not yet time to reload.

Before the Tiger Squat Cannon is fired, the cannon body needs to be fixed to the ground with a large iron nail, and then loaded with 100 small lead or small stones weighing five coins when fired. In order to increase the armor-piercing ability of the projectile, Ziren also asked for some thistle terrestris to join it. In order to prevent deflating, after the reloading is completed, it is necessary to add about two catties of large lead bullets or large stone bullets to the muzzle of the gun to press the top.

Although this cannon is inconvenient to load, when it fires, large and small guns fly out in an instant, with a thunderous sound, and the lethality and coverage are very wide. It is especially suitable for field warfare, bombarding the enemy's brigade and horses, which can effectively suppress the intensive offensive of its Monnu.

Under the cover of the Wang brothers' shields, Ziren and Shoutie finished loading the artillery in a short time. Seeing that the enemy rushed to within thirty steps of the formation, Ziren set fire to the enemy after a slight adjustment.

But a loud "boom" was heard, and the Monnu who rushed forward was swept away. The Mongol Tatars thought that the artillery of the Ming army was exhausted, and they did not have time to guard against heavy casualties, and the momentum of the charge was overwhelming.

The remaining Tartars, under the command of Commander Sirimo, hurriedly avoided the gap and headed to the left and right flanks of the ice wall. Afraid of the power of the tiger's cannon, the Tartar soldiers rushed to the wall and threw down the firewood they were carrying, and then turned back to get firewood again.

The smoke produced by the Tiger Squat Cannon was very large, and as soon as it was fired, it was detected by the Mengnu archers, and for a while, the enemy's bows and arrows rained down on the gap. Seeing that the cards in the hands of the Wang brothers were already full of arrows, Ziren did not dare to hold it up, and hurriedly led people back to the wall.

After retreating into the wall, Ziren and Shoutie also raised their bird guns from time to time to kill the enemy, but unfortunately the bird guns only fired two shots per minute. Even if the two of them missed shots, they were still powerless to block the enemy's approach, and before long, the outside of the ice wall was already filled with firewood.

Ziren and Hu Yukun discussed the situation nervously, and divided Hu Yukun's guards into two, and each of them led a man to guard the left and right wings. At the same time, someone was sent to lift the tiger squat cannon, move it to the gap in the ice wall ten steps back, and nervously reload it.

As soon as the two of them were ready, they heard Ma Shinan shouting: "Mengnu set the fire, everyone be careful." Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of fire outside the wall.

It turned out that when Xiri Mo saw that the firewood had been properly placed, he immediately ordered someone to light a fire to the wall. In order to prevent the ice wall from being wet after melting, he also specially ordered people to pour grease, and the fire was bright for a while. Seeing this, Sirimo was overjoyed and continued to urge his subordinates to add firewood. At the same time, someone was sent to report to the Black Carbon.

Seeing that the fire was fierce and it seemed that the ice wall could not last long, Ziren hurriedly ordered the soldiers to shovel the soil, thinking of using the soil to suppress the fire. But it was freezing this day, and the ground had already been frozen as a rock. The crowd didn't have the tools they had in hand, and they didn't have much soil to shovel.

Seeing this, Ziren had to order everyone to give up, conserve their strength and form a formation behind the ice wall to meet the enemy. At the same time, Wang Xuedao was sent to find Wang Ren to move the rescue soldiers.

As soon as Wang Xuedao's front foot left, there were several collapses in the ice walls on the left and right wings. Sirimo commanded the Mongol Tartar soldiers, who swarmed through the gap.

Ma Shinan had been waiting for a long time in a gap on the right flank, and as soon as Meng Nu reached out, he shot a series of arrows, which resulted in several Tartars who wanted to rush into the ice wall. Seeing that Monnu continued to swarm in regardless of life and death, he hurriedly threw away his bow and arrows, removed the fork hanging from his back, and went up to meet him.

In the previous battle, his brother Ma Gui had been killed, and Ziren couldn't bear to lose Ma Shinan any more, so he hurriedly stepped forward with Wang Ming to support and join the battle. Only Ding Shoutie was left in the gap, and he operated the tiger squat cannon to listen to Ziren's order to open the cannon and kill the enemy.

Ma Shinan had just overturned a Mengnu, and when he saw someone coming to help, he hurriedly took a few steps back and lined up with the people who came to help. The soldiers who were defending behind the ice wall also arrived, and everyone fought with the Monnu.

Ziren had a sharp knife in his hand, and used the flexible footwork under his feet to avoid the attack of the Mongol Tatars, and then swung the knife to kill several people in a row. The king ordered to pick up the horse chopping knife in his hand, and the style of play was wide open and closed, but fortunately, the people were tall and the horses were big, and he did not suffer a loss when he fought hard with Mengnu, and he even beheaded several people. Ma Shinan is very skilled with a horse fork, blocking, picking, collapsing, and smashing one after another, and he has also won a lot.

Led by the three of them, the rest of the soldiers knew that there was no way to retreat. They mustered up the courage to fight the enemy, barely holding back the Tartars pouring in from the collapse of the ice wall.

However, as the ice wall continued to collapse, the number of Mongols pouring into the wall increased. There were many casualties among the guards guarding the right flank, and Ziren was worried that it would be difficult to resist like this, so he hurriedly led Wang Xuedao and Ma Shinan to lead the troops to retreat.

Ziren hurried away, shouting and cursing, and ran towards the gap in the center of the ice wall, trying to draw the enemy into the range of the Tiger Squat Cannon.

The commander of the thousand, Xi Rimo, also entered the inner side of the ice wall at this time, and saw that Ziren was wearing fine iron and bright armor, and judged that this Ming man was a general in the army. Knowing that he captured the enemy first, he lifted the mace in his hand and chased after Ziren.

Ziren looked back and saw that many Monnu had already chased after him and stepped into the strike range of the tiger squat cannon. hurriedly beckoned Ding Shoutie to fire a cannon to kill the enemy, knowing that it was not easy to stay here for a long time, and then prepared to flee quickly.

Xi Rimo had already chased behind Ziren at this time, and smashed the stick towards Ziren, and the mace was so powerful that it brought a sound of wind.

Sensing that someone was sneaking up behind him, Ziren subconsciously waved his knife to resist. After the Qi knife collided with the mace, there was a loud "dang" sound, and then it snapped.

In the cold winter wax moon, the steel was already fragile, Ziren held a knife and slashed several people in a row, and the knife was stained with the blood of the enemy, the blood was hot and the weather was cold, and the strength of the Qi knife quickly decreased when it was cold and hot. Xi Rimo's blow was not small, and Qi Dao couldn't support it after struggling and was broken by Shengsheng.

Ding Shoutie had already lit the fire rope at this time, and if the fire rope was extinguished at this time, it would take a lot of time to re-install it, and I am afraid that it would not be possible to reload it in time. Seeing that Ziren was still within the strike range of the tiger squatting cannon, he shouted loudly to let him dodge quickly.

At such a critical juncture, Ziren did not panic and pressed the switch on the handle of the Qi knife. Pulling out the dagger hidden in it, the wind under his feet rushed to Sirimo's side.

Before he could react, he plunged the dagger into the enemy's abdomen with his left hand, grabbed Sirimo by the neck with his right hand, and pulled him to the ground with a fierce force. The action was synthesized in one go, and before the fire rope burned out, he used Xi Rimo to block between himself and the tiger squatting cannon.

As soon as Ziren fell to the ground, the tiger squat cannon let out his own roar. After a loud deafening noise, Meng Nu, who was attracted by Ziren, was swept away in the blink of an eye.
