Chapter Twenty-Nine: Death is Death
There was a sudden commotion in the small fort, and after a while, some defensive young men gathered on the walls of the small fort. Xie Yongming is a local wealthy family, and his clan power is naturally strong.
Six or seven hundred soldiers, almost no one around them to contend with them.
In the panic of the people in the fort, Lin Yi had ten cannons launched. These guns were cast iron cannons, and they were three-tier, four-pounder siege guns.
It weighs 500 pounds and has a range of more than 800 meters.
It can be described as a good contemporary artillery, but because there is no equipment to be erected, it has not been designated as a standard artillery.
More than twenty cavalrymen were somewhat jerky with ammunition.
"Launch."
The torches lit the fuse, and the two horsemen quickly covered their ears and fell to the side.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the white light of the cannonball exploded quickly. There was a thud and a small pit was smashed into the fort wall, and the rubble was scattered all over the ground.
When the people in the fort saw the damaged part of the wall, their faces couldn't help but be dead!
The other nine guns quickly corrected, adjusted to the angle of the gun just now, and aimed their muzzles at the fort wall.
"Launch!"
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
The loud noises continued one after another, and the cannonballs kept smashing on the fort wall, immediately smashing the fort wall into potholes, and many of the Xie family soldiers in the fort were frightened on the spot.
Suddenly, a fat body stood on the castle wall, his eyes were red, and he shouted at the cavalry below as if he was crazy: "Zhao family, I know it's your Zhao family, you come!" You're here to kill me! Kill me, and your Zhao family won't be able to escape......"
The fat man was Xie Yongming, who was shouting something on the castle wall like crazy, Lin Yi beckoned to the back, and immediately handed over a rifled gun loaded with bullets below.
Lin Yi held the musket and pointed it at the fat man on the castle wall.
Suddenly the trigger was pulled, and with a bang, a cloud of white smoke came out of the muzzle. The body of the fat man on the city wall fell straight forward like a kite with a broken string, and was planted directly off the fortress wall.
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Lin Yi's mouth, and he threw the rifled gun back, and the soldiers behind him immediately reached out to catch it. Regardless of the fat man planted from above, he waved his hand and ordered: "Keep banging." ”
Four-pound shells constantly bombarded the walls of the fort, and although the walls of the small fort were high, they were obviously not thick. Under the constant bombardment of siege artillery, an hour later finally appeared an opening.
The soldiers of the Xie family behaved very resolutely, holding weapons one by one, and gathered behind the mouth to defend.
But Lin Yi, who brought siege equipment, was destined to make them tragic, seeing a group of people concentrated in the gap.
"Change the Vulcan cannon." Lin Yi shouted.
After a while, a rocket crossed an arc and shot directly into the fort. One by one, and finally one fell into the crowd.
Screams came from inside the fort, and several Xie family soldiers fell in a pool of blood on the spot.
"Twenty-five degrees." With a shout, more than 20 dismounted cavalrymen directly turned the launch tube 25 degrees, and then quickly loaded the rocket and ignited it!
The amount of rockets with three on-board barrels was shot in one go! Dense rockets whizzed into the fort, and a crisp explosion rang out, followed by screams.
It is estimated that more than twenty flew into the crowd, and the other twenty or so were scattered in other directions. The Xie family soldiers who were concentrated behind the gap were suddenly in chaos.
"Rush!" Lin Yi seized the opportunity and rushed to the gap with his saber held high. The cavalry behind him immediately followed and rushed towards the gap.
In the chaos, the soldiers of the Xie family had no time to organize a defense, and they had already been broken into the fort by Lin Yi. The cavalry who entered the fort slashed at the Xie family soldiers who were running around, cutting down the enemy in front of them to the ground.
No captives! Only kill. Kill until there is no resistance.
Lin Yi led people straight to Xie Yongming's residence, broke into the door directly, cut down all the people in the house to the ground, and a group of cavalry dismounted and began to raid the house.
quickly looted the belongings in Xie Yongming's house, and Lin Yi directly roared away with the people. Only a group of Xie family members who hid aside and did not dare to come out to stop them were left.
When Lin Yi retreated, many members of the Xie family couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but when they counted the losses, Xie Yongming's family was all dead, and more than 200 clan soldiers died, and some wanted to cry without tears. It's just that most people are confused, when did a group of such powerful horse bandits appear in Shandong?
If you have seen the cavalry battalion suppressing bandits, you may be able to recognize it. However, when the cavalry battalion suppressed bandits, there were generally few people who played soy sauce.
In addition, Lin Yi's old business is this horse bandit, so he is naturally handy when he pretends to be. Except for the cannon and rockets, which were a little abrupt, the rest of the costumes and behaviors were no different from those of the horse bandits.
Except for Zhaoyuan Xie's family, in the next month, more than 30 local wealthy clans were attacked by horse bandits, and none of the local wealthy clans could resist Lin Yi's troops, and all of them were defeated.
Without exception, all the heroes who were attacked were beaten to heavy losses, most of them were beheaded, and their family wealth was also looted.
In the bloody May, after the suppression of bandits, Denglai once again set off a bloody atmosphere.
Such a big movement shocked the whole territory of Shandong.
Shandong Yushi impeached Denglai guerrilla Zhao Yan in the same month, saying that he connived at bandits and thieves to cause trouble to Denglai, so that Denglai Haoqiang was repeatedly attacked.
Zhu Dadian was shocked and hurriedly sent someone to ask.
Zhao Yan didn't react, but just wrote a report to Zhu Dadian, with only an indifferent line of words on it: "Most of the heroes and strong in Denglai are bandits, not enough to serve the country, not enough to reassure the people, but for bandits, if you die, you will die, and it is not a pity to die." ”
I heard that this report made Zhu Dadian angry and slapped the table case.
