Chapter 5 The Advantages of the Times

Bullets and arrows shuttled in his ears, Liu Xian himself couldn't say, why he wasn't nervous at all. But as long as it's the most beneficial right now, why bother with that.

"Put-"

The sound of the call did not fall. In a very short period ......of time, on the top of the town wall of Liulin Town, which was less than 100 steps away, four small mountain-splitting cannons exploded.

The mountain-splitting cannons placed 20 paces apart had a deafening explosion, and it was by no means comparable to Li Lanjun's shotgun.

"Artillery?!"

Su Yi was taken aback, and there were so many sounds! Looking at the four puffs of gunpowder smoke rising from the top of the brick wall in Liulin Town, and looking at the cannon ports exposed behind the four battlements placed in the wooden row, he instantly felt a pang in his heart. His men are going to suffer casualties!

At the same time, Su Yi and a considerable part of Li Lanjun didn't understand, since there was artillery on the other side, how could he wait until people rushed under the wall before using it? Shouldn't it have exploded a long time ago? The Qing army is like this.

Countless iron horns of rubble erupted from the muzzle of the cannon, scattering into a large net in the air. It's a shotgun!

Yes, it's shotguns.

The mountain-splitting cannon is a storage that even the Qing army mainly uses to shoot scattered bullets, how can Liu Xian use more than 100 catties of mountain-splitting cannons to hit iron bullets? Proper scattered bullets are just more broken and cheaper stones and broken angle iron than the lead bullets of the Qing army.

Four mountain-splitting cannons, countless gravel and iron horns crossed the distance of thirty or forty meters, and with a fan-shaped surface of no more than 30 degrees, fishing nets were scattered on the heads of many Li Lanjun soldiers.

Defenseless and unarmed, the unarmed Li Lanjun fell in large pieces and suffered heavy losses.

Thin clothes and pure-blooded flesh could not withstand the iron horns of rubble.

Whether it was a stone or a broken angle iron, if it hit the head, it was a splatter of brains and shattered to the ground. The red, white, and ripe watermelon was struck with an iron rod.

The body was not pierced, but the flesh and blood were also hit by bullets, blood holes and blood mist splashed.

This blow caused more than 100 Li Lanjun to fall to the ground, and more than half of them were technical soldiers in Li Lanjun's army-shotgunners and archers. These people didn't dare to get too close to the brick wall, and some shotguns and bows and arrows appeared in the equipment of the Chenggu militia in Puzhen. They were afraid that if they got too close to the brick wall, they would be attacked by shotguns and arrows at the head of the wall, so they continued to suppress the top of the brick wall at a distance of forty or fifty meters, but they fell right within the range of the shelling.

As soon as the frontal shelling sounded, artillery rang out on the east and west sides of Liulin Town. Su Yi was heartbroken, but then he was no longer distressed by the heavy losses, and he was no longer worried about the artillery that appeared at the head of the city.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

More than a dozen gunpowder bags were thrown down from the town wall, and the long ladders and wooden platoons, and the leading Li Lanjun, who was startled by the shelling, all disappeared in a violent explosion.

Su Yi rolled over and fell from his horse to the ground, and the mount was frightened by the sudden loud noise. And he himself was cold to the bone, his teeth were clenched, and his grief was incomprehensible, and his body froze in an instant. The surrounding guards helped him up from the ground, and Su Yi's eyes were firmly fixed on Liulin Town, which was shrouded in dust and smoke, and then he screamed like a wounded beast.

The most brave and brave elites under his command except for dozens of personal guards were all lost under the town wall.

"Jumping Tiger—"

"Liu Xian—"

"I won't kill you, I won't be a man!"

Pulled out the waist knife and slashed hard, cutting his forehead, the flesh and skin turned over, the blood flowed down the bridge of his nose, and his eyes were soaked in blood, but Su Yi didn't feel a trace of pain, only such an act would make his grief feel better.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The ancient trumpets sounded, and the troops of Li Lanjun quickly retreated to the north. The offensive and defensive battle to the west of Liulin Town was over in only a quarter of an hour, and Li Lan's army on the east and west flanks also quickly rushed back to the Chinese army.

Just like Su Yi suffered a loss in the front, Li Lanjun on both flanks also suffered again, but the losses were not as heavy as in the west. There are four mountain-splitting cannons on the west wall of Liulin Town, while only two are placed on the east and west sides.

"Fifth brother, send the two brothers to take a look to the west? Look where these bandits are encamped. ”

The entire Liulin Town cheered, and it was easy to win this battle, and the entire military spirit and public opinion were boiling. In this cheer, Qi Dalin said like this. It was already getting dark, and even if Li Lanjun was defeated badly, his foundation was very strong, and it was impossible to retreat to Puzhen overnight.

"Get out of town first and pack up the seizures. In the evening, the brothers were sent again. "Although it is not necessary to send people or not, Liu Xian has his own golden finger in his hand, but the golden finger himself knows it, and there is no need to make himself too godly in this trivial matter.

Qi Dalin, Zhang Zhongkui and others nodded in unison. It's just that when it's dark, the brothers know each other!

Liu Zhuo led ten classes out of the north wall of the town. These defeated and brave spirits were obviously much stronger, and Liu Xian's incomparably easy victory diluted too much fear of Li Lanjun in their hearts. They were useless in the war just now, but now they clean up the battlefield, and it will definitely work.

From time to time, there were screams from the corpses under the wall, one was the bitter howl of Li Lanjun's wounded soldiers, and the other was the defeat of Li Lanjun's wounded soldiers on the road, and Li Lanjun's wounded soldiers were emitted.

It's not that Liu Xian is ruthless, but the wounded soldiers lying on the ground outside the town, and the desperate ones are all seriously wounded.

Let's not talk about the mountain splitting gun. Just talk about the town walls.

The gunpowder bag he dropped from the top contained more than just gunpowder. In addition to the gunpowder wrapped tightly in silk, a pound of gravel and iron sand was filled, and the outside was re-coated with burlap.

Five catties of granular gunpowder, one catty of external materials, plus silk and burlap, a gunpowder package is about seven catties, which is converted into a city catty in the 21st century, which is less than eight and a half catties. That's a powder bag!

At the same time as the explosion sounded, the stones and iron sand splashed everywhere, and the absolute force was more powerful than the shock wave killing.

Even those who are lucky enough not to die must have a lot of gravel and iron sand on their bodies. Liu Xian didn't have a good doctor who was proficient in surgery to save them, and even if he relied on the doctors in the town, he might not be able to save them. Because the iron sand and gravel in the gunpowder bag were soaked in feces and urine by Liu Xian before they were put in.

Liu Xian didn't know how much wound infection effect could be increased in this way, but he really felt that he couldn't save it. Therefore, if you make up for the sword, it can also be counted in the war merits, and it can be used to ask the government for merit and reward.

Before it was dark, it was only two quarters of an hour, and all the results and profits of this battle were counted.

I can't be precise enough about how many skulls are earned, but there are definitely four hundred. More knives and guns were captured, and when Li Lanjun was defeated and retreated, I don't know how many people left their guys in order to 'travel lightly'. It is also a preliminary statistic, no less than a thousand!

Sixty-three bows and arrows, of which twenty were damaged. There were 115 shotguns, and there was almost no damage from the appearance, and the specific number had to wait until after the test release.

Liu Xian was so happy that the corners of his mouth couldn't close.

In the past, except for the eight mountain splitting guns, there was almost no long-range power. And now, it's enough for him to replace all his old brothers with shotgunslingers and archers!

What shotguns are too bad and bows and arrows are too backward?

Come on! I'm not a rich man or a beggar, and it's good to eat some, and I dare to pick?!
