At night, Kowloon Village. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Sui Tianlong was sitting gloomily on the first seat that belonged to him in the council hall, and the other bandit leaders present were all dejected.

Since the beginning of the defeat of the grass, Sui Tianlong has not tried this kind of painful experience for a long time. Today, I confidently went to ambush the officers and soldiers, thinking that I could win as easily as the previous times, but I didn't expect that stealing chickens would not lead to rice, not only failed to defeat the officers and soldiers, but caused heavy losses to my men. The leopard died, the hundreds of cavalry were all gone, and what was more serious was that the self-confidence that had been cultivated with great difficulty in the previous years had also suffered a serious blow. Now, almost everyone in the cottage has developed a fear of the once dismissive officers and soldiers.

"Don't worry! The terrain of Jiulong Mountain is steep, and there are several passes to defend it, even if the officers and soldiers are not easy to provoke, it is by no means easy for them to attack the mountain. In the past few years, the officials and troops have attacked the mountains several times, and they have not been beaten by the brothers? Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was depressed, Liu Baiwolf opened his mouth and said with relief, but now even he himself doesn't have much confidence.

Sui Tianlong nodded, and two fierce lights appeared in his eyes: "That's right, Jiulong Mountain is our territory, not whoever wants to come!" Go and let the brothers defend strictly, and prepare more rolling logs and boulders, if the officers and soldiers still refuse to let go, we will recover all the losses suffered today in this Jiulong Mountain! ”

At this moment, a small minion stumbled into the council hall and said in despair: "Big boss, it's not good! Officers and Soldiers...... The officers and soldiers have come to the bottom of the mountain and are encamping! ”

Hearing this news, Sui Tianlong's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly got up to investigate. When he and the other leaders came to the gate of the walled wall at the top of the mountain and looked down the mountain, they saw that the bottom of the mountain was already densely lit with a little fire, completely blocking their way down the mountain, and it was obvious that the officers and soldiers who had fought with them during the day.

Seeing such a situation, Sui Tianlong and the big and small leaders seemed to have a layer of frost on their faces. Damn, this group of officers and soldiers is really chasing after them!

At the same time, in the Ming army camp under the mountain, Pang Yue did not have the heart to consider the thoughts of Sui Tianlong and other thieves, and he was now patrolling around to inspect the preparations of each battalion. At this time, the officers and soldiers of Ganzhou Town were in full swing preparing for tomorrow's attack, the bird soldiers were wiping the barrels, the pikemen were replacing the worn spear heads, and the archers were adjusting the bowstrings...... In addition, the non-commissioned officers of the artillery team are also inspecting the four exterminators and the two general cannons, which were not on the scene during the day today for various reasons, but will show their terrifying lethality tomorrow.

Looking at the little fires in the cottage, the corners of Pang Yue's mouth trembled into a sneer: "Thieves, spend your last peaceful night, by tomorrow, you will have to pay for your previous evil deeds!"

The next day, as soon as the sky dawned, Pang Yue personally led the team to go around the mountain a few times to inspect the terrain. I saw that the topography of this Jiulong Mountain is really extremely complicated, one of them is a cliff, the other several sides are also high mountains and dense forests, thorns are luxuriant, the only road up the mountain has also been tightly sealed by thieves, from the bottom to the top a total of four passes have been built, it seems that they are all built with the stones in the mountain, the wall is more than one zhang high, it is completely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

After a few circles back to the camp, Pang Yue did not rush to order an attack, but asked the artillery team to hurry up and prepare for firing.

Seeing that the Ming army had not launched an attack for a long time, the thieves on the first wall couldn't help but get a little carried away, in their eyes, this group of officers and soldiers must be the same as the previous ones, stumped by the terrain of Jiulong Mountain. Some of the daring thieves even whistled and danced. …,

In the face of the arrogance of the thieves, the officers and men of the Ming Dynasty, especially the officers and soldiers of the artillery team, laughed secretly in their hearts: These bastards who don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth will know that they are powerful in a while.

The two cannons were quickly placed, the muzzles were aimed at the first wall of the thieves, and then the artillery soldiers began to reload with gunpowder and lead bullets. There are 200 steps from the foot of the mountain to the first pass, which has long exceeded the range of the Ming army's bird guns and bows and arrows, not to mention the inferior bows and arrows made by the thieves, but this distance is somewhat insignificant for the general's artillery.

Seeing that the swarthy muzzle of the cannon was aimed at them, most of the thieves were still calm, after all, they had never even heard of this kind of firearm, let alone any phobia. Only a small number of well-informed small leaders suddenly turned pale, shouting and shouting to give orders to release arrows and roll logs, but they could hardly play any role at this distance, and could only watch the soldiers of the Ming army methodically tinkering with the two terrifying killing weapons.

"Ready! - Put! At the officer's command, the artillery non-commissioned officers lit the arquebus, quickly retreated, squatted on the ground and covered their ears

"Damn, run!" After the first barrier, there were already a few small leaders of thieves who knew the goods, and after screaming, they stumbled backwards, but most of the minions were still watching with a confused face, thinking about whether to run with them.

"Boom! - "Boom! - "Before the thieves and minions could think clearly, the two great general's cannons had already let out a roar, and with a puff of white smoke coming out of the muzzles, two seven-pound large iron balls slammed into the wall at high speed.

After another loud bang, the seemingly solid wall was shattered and crumbling, and several large gaps appeared, and almost all the thieves hiding behind the wall were shocked to the point of bleeding from their mouths and noses. Most of the thieves who were directly affected by the shock wave were killed on the spot, and a considerable number of them were killed by the high-speed debris that hit the vital point. For a while, the wails came and went. The thieves, who had been a little arrogant just a moment ago, finally tasted the power, and some of the people who could still run began to flee backwards.

Before the thieves could fully recover from the first round of blows, the four exterminators of the Ming army also opened fire. Although the exterminator cannon is not as good as the general's cannon in terms of range, it is enough to hit the wall, and the hundreds of lead fired each time can definitely give the thieves a different feeling.

After several thunderous loud sounds, thousands of lead bolts shot out like scattered flowers of the Heavenly Maiden, and rushed through the gaps to the thieves behind the wall. One by one, the little minions wailed, covering their eyes, chests and abdomen, and other vital points rolling everywhere.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Gangfeng battalion took the lead in attacking, the sword and shield soldiers raised their shields and rushed to the front, and the birdmen and archers followed, ready to suppress at any time. The thieves had just been killed yesterday, and they had just been hit by two rounds of unprecedented blows, and they were already frightened, and now they heard the earth-shaking shouts of the Ming officers and soldiers, where is the determination to resist? Except for a few diehards who were loyal to Sui Tianlong, the rest of the thieves fled towards the mountain in a panic.

The officers and men of the Gangfeng Battalion soon rushed to the first pass, and after a short but fierce battle, they pulled out the nail that stood in the way.

After capturing the first pass, Pang Yue ordered the trapping camp to take over from the Gangfeng battalion and launched a tentative attack on the second pass. The second pass was almost three hundred paces away from the first, and the wall was a little higher. However, the officers and soldiers of the trapped camp, who had been secretly fighting with it, were naturally not far behind, and burst out with an even louder cry and rushed towards the second pass. …,

But this time, the thieves had already made some preparations, and seeing that the Ming army had begun to attack again, they hurriedly rolled a large number of logs and boulders down the hillside. Although these weapons were simple, their lethality should not be underestimated, and the officers and men in the trapped camp only rushed about a hundred paces before the casualty rate began to surge and the attack was blocked. Some of the brave veterans risked their lives and rushed forward for some distance, but in the end, they suffered heavy casualties under the frenzied rain of arrows from the thieves.

Seeing this scene, Pang Yue ordered the camp to retreat, and at the same time ordered the artillery team to drag a few cannons to the first pass to build a position, preparing to use the cannons to open the way again. When the first round of passes was attacked just now, the power of the cannon had been undoubtedly revealed, and now that this second pass was not easy to fight, Pang Yue naturally would not use the flesh and blood of soldiers to replace the shells.

Due to the heavy artillery, it took some time to drag it up, and it was not easy to build a position on the slopes of the mountain, so the offensive in Ganzhou Town was temporarily stopped.

At this time, the thieves on the second pass cheered one after another. It's not easy, I finally repelled an attack by the official army! However, before they could cheer, a sharp-eyed little leader let out an extremely miserable scream: "Cannon...... The officers and soldiers dragged the cannon up again! ”

The rest of the thieves hurriedly looked in the direction of his finger, only to find that a group of officers and soldiers were struggling to push a few seemingly heavy big guys towards the first pass, what else could it be if it wasn't a cannon?

Now, the nest was completely blown up on the second pass. Most of the thieves gathered here have already seen the power of those cannons, and even a very small number of thieves who have just escaped have experienced it firsthand. They all understood that there was no way out but a dead end to fight with the cannon with their own pounds and taels, so they were so frightened that their legs trembled, and some of them even began to flee to the third pass.

This time, however, the thieves didn't even seem to have a way to escape, and the long-legged warriors who fled backwards were only halfway through when they were confronted by another group of people. When I looked closely, it turned out that Liu Baiwolf, the second master, personally led people down from the cottage to supervise the battle. Because Sui Tianlong knew that if he let the official army rush up the mountain, with the blood debt he owed before, he would be thankful for being able to be cut a few times, so he gritted his teeth and scattered a lot of silver, gathered a group of outlaws, and led by Liu Baiwolf to go to the various passes to supervise the battle.

"The big boss has an order!" Liu Baiwolf looked at a few panicked little minions in front of him, and said viciously, "Those who escape from the battle will be killed!" After speaking, he waved his hand behind him.

A group of knife and axe men who followed Liu Baiwolf immediately stepped forward, their knives fell, and the few little minions who ran the most quickly were in different places on the spot, and the rest quickly turned around and ran towards the second pass. Although the cannon is terrifying, the group of sword and axe men under the second master are not vegetarians!

By the time Liu Baiwolf led people to the second pass, the officers and soldiers of Ganzhou Town had already begun to build artillery positions.
