Chapter 63: The Absolute Sound (Part II)
Chapter 63: The Absolute Sound (II)
"Substitution, substitution, substitution...", the monotonous shouts surged again, and the second wave of big gunners quickly rolled backwards, giving way to the robes who were waiting behind them.
The big guns in their hands were very strangely shaped, and there were no triggers, rope clips, copper springs and other delicate accessories common on arquebuses, nor wooden brackets for the shooters to carry on their shoulders. Just a smooth iron pipe with two short iron forks branching out like a cricket at the end. However, for narrow terrain such as arrow battlements and city walls, a smooth iron pipe is more flexible.
As soon as the second wave of soldiers drew out the fired gun, the third wave of soldiers quickly filled the new gunpowder into the shooting hole. Then he didn't aim at all, but only roughly adjusted the angle of the shot, and decisively lit the fuse located at the back of the big gun with moxa, and then firmly pressed the iron fork at the end of the gun with his right shoulder hanging from the plank.
"Woo Woo T The big gun was pushed back by the gunpowder, but it was firmly held up by the plank on the shoulder of the big gun. Thousands of shotguns rained down from the city, knocking the corpses of enemy troops outside the city to pieces.
"Stand back, back back, back quickly...", a hoarse voice sounded outside the city, and a man dressed in gilded full-body plate armor held up his iron trumpet and shouted loudly.
"Stand back, back off, take twenty steps back, scatter the formation...", the centurions in the group repeated decisively, gathered their men around them, dropped the large guns on the ground and their companions rolling in pools of blood, and quickly flashed sixty paces away from the city wall.
They are also experienced and know very well where the flaws of the big guns are. A very simple tactical adjustment freed the remaining brothers from a desperate situation.
"Come on, there's a kind of going on, it's all born of a little girl..."
"The big girl gives birth to a child, and she doesn't teach the little one. When you hit a little hard stubble, you shrink your head..."
"Let the good people not do it, but go to be a slave for the Mongolian Tatars. How can this thing have bones?"
"The soft egg thing raised by the little girl has the ability to light up the real guy"
On the city wall, there was a shrill shouting and scolding. Zhang Bixian's big guns quickly untied the black and white cloth bags around their waists, and used spoons to fill the big guns with gunpowder and scattered bullets. While using foul language, it provokes the nerves of the attackers outside the city.
The rebel generals in plate armor were not at all lifeless. He snatched a black-painted corner flag from the guard next to him, raised it above his head, and danced slowly.
"Dangdang" The monotonous sound of the broken gong sounded, and the soldiers of the Ni family, who had just retreated, continued to retreat farther away, and no one refused to make any more stops.
"Oh... Oh...""Oh... Oh...""Oh... Oh..."The insults at the head of the city turned into cheers, and the soldiers of the Tianwan Dynasty, who had easily repelled a round of enemy attacks, stood up excitedly and ran along the city walls.
"Chen, General Chen is really the number one tiger general in my Tianwan Country..."Taishi Zou Pusheng was also so happy that his old face turned red, and he swayed and rushed into the enemy building, giving Chen Youliang a thumbs up.
Recently, thanks to Chen Youliang and the Zhang Dingbian, Zhang Bixian and Wu Hong and others he brought, they were able to ensure that the city of Qizhou was not broken by the rebels. Therefore, except for Xu Shouhui, the emperor of His Majesty, the rest of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces regarded the Jinwu general Chen Youliang as the martial arts star of the Tianwan Dynasty. flattered him in every way, and responded to all requests.
However, Chen Youliang did not see any joy on his face. Frowning, he asked in a low voice, "Taishi, have you sent the second wave of messengers who asked for help from the Huaiyang Grand Governor's Mansion?" Why hasn't it been so long, and I still haven't received any response..."
"This" Zou Pusheng heard this, and a little embarrassment immediately appeared on his excited old face. Gritting his teeth and hesitating for a while, he lowered his voice and responded, "Pie must be pie." But His Majesty's temper, General Chen should also know. He's also an emperor anyway, and that's Zhu Chongjiu."
"Your Majesty wouldn't have given another holy decree to Mr. Zhu, right?" Chen Youliang was slightly stunned, hesitating and tentative.
"Like, that, uh-huh" Zou Pusheng's expression was as writhing as a bride talking about sexual affairs. blushing for a long time, he hardened his head and didn't add, "Poor, it's not too much." Majesty, majesty, this time, sealed, sealed, sealed Zhu is in charge of a Huaiyang king. Ten thousand households in the food town, and gave Huaiyang Wang Baibi ten pairs, twenty stunning beauties, and gold beads"
"Enough!" Chen Youliang was furious and slammed his fist on the pillar, shaking the top of his head. "Do you, the Grand Master, drink porridge? I didn't go to admonish... If the Huai'an army doesn't arrive within five days, all of us will die without a place to bury..."
"Old man, old man persuaded, persuaded. But, but His Majesty, His Majesty was so heartbroken by the thief that he couldn't listen to the old man's persuasion at all. And, and he is also afraid, and he is also afraid of inviting God, it is easy to ask God and it is difficult to send God..."Zou Pusheng was frightened, took two steps back, leaned against the wall and explained in a low voice.
"At least, Manager Zhu will not want your life or mine..."Chen Youliang hated so much that the roots of his teeth itched, but he was helpless.
"Peng, isn't Peng Xiang coming soon? Also, there is Zhu Chongba, who also promised to send rescuers? Zou Pusheng knew that he was wrong, but he struggled to argue.
"Peng Xiang only has a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and the 5,000 he brought me, if the rest is transferred to this side, what will happen to Chizhou? If we can't hold Qizhou, we won't even have a way out..."Chen Youliang glared at Zou Pusheng and added, "As for Zhu Chongba, don't you even understand long-distance and close-range attacks?" He already has Luzhou and half of Anqing, and if he comes to save us again, the other half of Anqing will also belong to him... When the time comes, we will all have to rely on people's noses..."
"That, that" Zou Pusheng seemed to understand, blinking his eyes, and the corners of his mouth kept squirming.
At this moment, there was a continuous sound of horn drums outside the city. Immediately after, Qianhu Zhang Dingbian ran in again, arched his hand at Zou Pusheng first, and then reported loudly, "Ah San, something bad happened." The officers and soldiers are really here this time. Ni Wenjun's people, as well as the people who answered Ya Badulu, pressed up together. I can't see much in the black..."
"Damn..."Chen Youliang heard this, and he didn't care about getting angry with Zou Pusheng. Picked up a telescope that he had bought a lot of money, held it up in front of him, and quickly looked out of the city.
I saw that under the golden sunset, the Ni family army of the brigade began to approach Qizhou City again. Immediately behind them were dozens of phalanxes composed of Mengyuan officers and soldiers. Guns are like forests, knives are like snow, and huge shields are held in front of the formation, forming a moving city wall.
"Boom...""Boom...""Boom...""Boom...""Boom..."The six-pound cannon that stood on the enemy's tower and the horse's face was decisively opened fire to intercept it. But due to the distance, most of the projectiles fell in the open space between the phalanxes, futile to stir up clouds of smoke.
Occasionally, a projectile hit the target, instantly blasting the phalanx of officers and soldiers into a huge collapse. The guards of the Sichuan Provincial Governor of Mengyuan and Sichuan Province replied to Ya Badulu on horseback, cut down the panicked people, and quickly restored order to the phalanx. Let it continue to move slowly to the rhythm of the drum horn.
"Boom...""Boom...""Boom...""Boom..."The heavy gunners in Ni Wenjun's hands also regained their morale, manipulated their own six-pound cannons, and launched a confrontation with the former robes on the city's head from afar. The artillery on the enemy's tower and the horse's face had to give up blocking the military formation of Meng Yuanguan, adjust the angle, and rise up to meet the battle. The shells of both sides came and went in the sunset, pulling out one after another terrible tail marks in mid-air.
In the pink glow, the Ni Jiajun, who served as the vanguard, continued to advance towards the city wall, not tight, not slow. This time, it was the shield bearer who walked in the forefront. Each of them pushed a shoulder-high shield cart vigorously. The wooden wheels "squeak, squeak...", play a noisy and piercing melody.
Gunners, archers, spearmen, siege chisels, and all sorts of other troops, behind the shield carts, lined up in a long column. Between each column and between them, a fairly wide distance was preserved. Even if it encounters another salvo, it will not pay a huge number of casualties as before.
"Four-pound cannon, four-catty cannon fire at me..."The more Chen Youliang looked at it, the more shocked he became, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that his scalp was fluttering, and he raised the order flag and shouted peace.
"Boom...""Boom...""Boom...""Boom...""Boom...""Boom...""Boom...""Boom...""Boom...""Boom They are well-trained, and with every round of shooting, they can knock over dozens of attackers. However, the opponent's overly scattered formation made it difficult for the results of the four-catty cannon to continue to expand. The elite of the Ni family's army, which has experienced a hundred battles, will never begin to collapse immediately because of dozens of casualties.
"Boom...""Boom...""Boom...""Boom...""Boom...""Boom...""Boom..."The four-pound cannon in the hands of the Ni Jiajun also tried to start a counterattack towards the city. The two sides soon fell into a state of confrontation again, and you went back and forth, and the fight was inexorable. But the prospects on both sides are lackluster. It is often three or four rounds of bombardment before it can occasionally be covered with a shot. It didn't affect the whole situation in the slightest.
"Stop, stop, don't be fooled..."Chen Youliang's heart suddenly froze, and he roared again and waved the order flag. The appearance of the gunners of the Ni family army was very wrong, and it stands to reason that they should try to avoid the duel between the artillery, as they have no shelter to hide. But they do the opposite, and there must be cats among them...
"Attention, pay attention to the barrel, be careful of blowing up the bore..."Several experienced veteran gunners also jumped up and warned their counterparts at the head of the city. The artillery purchased from Huaiyang is said to have a guarantee that it will not explode if fired 30 times in a row. But when the battle is in full swing, who will remember the limit of thirty guns? In case one of the doors is not bad, the perpetrator will not be able to redeem himself.
At this moment, on the horse's face on the right side of the West Gate, a loud noise suddenly sounded, "Boom...". Immediately after, the walls beneath his feet began to sway back and forth. A huge column of smoke rose up close to the enemy tower, and the strong smell of sulfur billowed in all directions.
"It's blown up... Who the fuck is fucking the cannon. Lao Tzu chopped him..."Chen Youliang's first reaction was that the six-catty cannon exploded due to excessive use. However, the next scene he saw made him terrified. Several teams of Imperial Guards, who were helping to carry gunpowder, suddenly drew their sabers from their waists and slashed at the nearest big gunner. Immediately after, another large group of Imperial Guards rushed up along the road, and without hesitation, they threw the torches into the powder boxes placed on the inner side of the city walls.
"Boom, boom, boom..."On the city wall, in the face of the horse, next to the enemy tower, the sound of gunpowder explosion was endless. The unsuspecting men were either cut down from behind or blown to pieces by gunpowder, and in an instant, blood flowed like a river.
