Chapter 5 Bloodstained Pu River

The loud whistle instantly spread throughout the southern city, and the long-standing extinguishing cannons and furlong gunners lit the fire doors one after another. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info for a moment, the rumbling sound of cannons filled the sky, and dozens of solid cannonballs sprayed out with the sound of the wind, rolling in the air with the anger of the soldiers and flying towards the Mongol Tartar formation.

The Tartars who flocked to the south gate were now huddled together and could not dodge, and the cannonballs continued to gain momentum after piercing through the flesh and blood of the Mongolian Tartars in the front row, bouncing on the ground while breaking the legs of the horses in the back row. The horse could not stand on its feet, and fell to the ground with its rider, and was immediately trampled into a puddle of flesh by his companions, who did not hurry to dodge.

After suffering heavy casualties, the Mongol Tartars were ready to regroup and continue to storm the city gates. At this time, Jin Guan led his gunners to launch a new round of artillery bombardment, and the Mongolian cavalry once again heard the sound of ghosts crying and howling.

After two rounds of shelling, the momentum of the Mongol Tatar attack stopped, and they began to subconsciously approach the Pu River. At this time, the 'Sun Guangzu' stationed on the enemy platform at the gate saw the advantage, and immediately ordered the gunner to kill the enemy by firing the gun, bowl, and tiger squat guns equipped on the enemy's platform.

Lei Zhenwei, Jin Guan and others were worried about accidentally injuring their own men and horses under the city, and they never dared to kill the enemy with scattered bullets. Because there were tens of thousands of Tartars between the enemy platform at the gate and the city gate, Sun Guangzu had no such concerns, and in an instant, countless projectiles flew into the Mongolian cavalry array.

There was only one mile between Pingyu Fort and the enemy platform at the gate, and tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry were crowded and could not advance or retreat, and hundreds of Tartars died under the cross-attack of the two cannons. The blood all over the ground gradually gathered into a thin stream, slowly moving along the terrain towards the Pu River, dyeing the river red.

Ziren knew that it would take a lot of time to reload the artillery except for the Furlong machine, and he could not stop the attack of the large Tartars for a long time, and seeing that most of the people had already withdrawn into the city, he half-turned around and said loudly: "Soldiers fight and retreat." At this moment, I heard a scream behind me.

It turned out that it was Bodu who escorted Lai Hongda to retreat to a distance and turned over to kill, and a heavy armored cavalry under Ziren wanted to step forward to block, but he died under the mace of this tartar as soon as he fought.

Ziren regarded the soldiers in the camp as his own brothers, and was furious when he saw this. He shouted and scolded, "The dog Tartar has returned my brother's life." With that, he ignored the danger and went straight to Bodu.

Bo Du knew a little Chinese, and knew that this man with a cloak was the one who sent troops to attack yesterday. In order to avenge the hundreds of clansmen whose throats were cut, he rushed over with a mace and gritted his teeth. When he got close, he raised his mace in the air. used all his strength to smash Ziren's Heavenly Spirit Gai.

Seeing that the opponent's blow was strong and heavy, Ziren didn't dare to be careless and immediately crossed his sword and gun above his head to block it. Who knew that this tartar was very cunning, and when he saw that Ziren had a defensive move, he smashed a stick on the head of the horse under Ziren's crotch.

The blow knocked Ziren's mount to the head and bleed, and he let out a roar and fell to the ground in anger. Ziren was caught off guard and felt that his body suddenly lost weight. They were brought to the ground together.

At this critical moment, Ziren still did not forget to launch a counterattack and threw the saber out. I saw the flash of the sword, and one of the front hooves of the enemy war horse was immediately scratched, and the horse couldn't bear the severe pain after hurting the front hooves and fell down. Bodu, who wanted to take advantage of the situation to chase after him, lost his balance and fell to the ground immediately after Ziren.

However, the fall of this tartar with rough skin and thick flesh is not a big problem, and after getting up from the ground, Bodu will naturally not give up, and rush forward with a mace in front of Ziren.

Ziren's legs were pressed by the horse corpse and he couldn't drag himself for a while, but he didn't panic at all at the critical moment. He immediately took out the fire fold from his bosom and lit the cigarette holder hanging under the pear flower gun, and then immediately met the enemy with the gun, and deliberately aimed the cigarette holder at the face door of Bodu.

Bodu will have limited mobility. I wanted to take the opportunity to step forward and end his life. At this time, I heard a "bang", and a burst of smoke shot out about five steps along with the firelight, and it was right in front of the door.

Bodu suddenly felt that his eyes were itching and itching, and he had no time to care about Ziren, so he began to rub his eyes uncontrollably.

The pear blossom gun head is equipped with two ejection cartridges, which are connected by a fuse. When used, two cartridges are lit one after another to ignite a jet flame, and there are hook and sickle-shaped iron forks on both sides of the gun head, and the two long blades can be used for boring and palladium upwards, and two short blades can be used for sickles downwards.

In order to increase the lethality, Ziren's chimney was filled with gunpowder, arsenic, lime and other substances. A large amount of iron filings was also added. As he rubbed it, the iron filings continued to cut scars in Bodu's eyes, and as a result, the more he kneaded, the more painful it became, and the more painful it was. A line of bloody tears gradually flowed from the corners of Bodu's eyes.

While Bodu was concentrating on the injury in his eye, he felt a chill in his chest. After Ziren got out from under the horse's corpse, he lifted the pear flower spear and pierced his chest, so that the tartar was completely free from pain.

Before Ziren could even out his breath, several Mongolian Tartars rode in front of him. These people were all close associates of Bodu, and after seeing him killed in battle, they quickly rushed to kill.

Ziren just wanted to step forward to resist. At this time, there was a sudden shock and severe pain in his right foot, and he couldn't exert his strength, thinking that he had fallen off the horse and pulled an old injury. Ziren had an idea, and shouted: "Who dares to come and send him to death!" Then he landed on his right knee and stood in a lunge, and his waist and abdomen swept out with both hands brandishing the pear flower gun.

The spear swept heavily on the knees of the incoming horses, and the legs were broken and the horses fell to the ground. The riders on horseback never expected that the Ming General would have such a trick, and they all fell off the horse and fell very lightly. Ziren flew left and right with a pear flower spear, and swept down three horsemen in succession.

In order to break his leg with one shot, Ziren used all his strength in these few blows, and as his strength gradually ran out, the gun's momentum slowed down. At this time, the fourth Mongolian cavalry suddenly arrived, raised his saber and draped it at Ziren's face.

Ziren couldn't collect the gun in time, but fortunately, he had the family heirloom "ground knife technique" by his side. Since the age of five, Ziren has been stumbling on the ground every day under the supervision of his father Ding Kedi, and he did not stop until Ziren took the exam.

Rolling to avoid the Tartar's blade, he impaled one of the Tartar's thighs with his spear. Before the Tartar was wounded, he shouted, and the king ordered him to slap his horse and slash off the Tartar's head and neck. The Mongolian Tartar was killed instantly, and his body slipped from his horse and fell to the ground.

Wang Ming stretched out his hand, dragged Ziren onto the horse, and the two of them rode a horse to the chariot array. At this time, another Mongolian Tartar stared at Ziren, took out an armor-piercing heavy arrow and began to aim.

"Whew!" Then he heard the sound of a bowstring, and the Mongolian Tartar clung to the door and fell off his horse. Ma Shinan also brought troops to help, and an arrow hit the tartar who wanted to hurt people with a secret arrow. After the crowd rode back to the chariot formation, the horses withdrew to the city without stopping.

Seeing the retreat of the Ming cavalry, Lai Hongda rushed out regardless of the obstruction of the guards, and while shouting to his subordinates to follow up, he also kept waving the axe in his hand, and the guards around him had to follow when they saw this.

Seeing the Tartar coming towards the chariot formation, Zhou Daqi and Lei Tiedan, who had been lying dormant behind the chariot for a long time, looked at each other and smiled. Later, dozens of three-eyed guns poked out of the gap between the chariots, and together with the three-eyed guns equipped on the chariots, they were "eyeing the enemy". (To be continued.) )
