10,000 people slaughtered out, only to come back in disgrace.

Those who knew about this couldn't help but feel emotional, but the people outside who knew about it all celebrated, after all, this invincible salvation army finally suffered a lot.

Because of this, the people's hearts in the base area are a little fluctuating, after all, the Salvation Army, which has been winning steadily, will actually lose, which makes it impossible for those of them who have succumbed to the anti-thief forces to tremble. After all, if the imperial army fights over, with the character of those soldiers, these people will have to take off three or four layers of skin if they don't die.

Back at the Huanglongshan base, Li Dingguo and Wang Er directly asked people to tie themselves up, and then sent them to Zhang Hongbin.

This is the expression of the person who lost the battle and took the initiative to die, at least in the stories of Mr. Storyteller, it is like this.

"Lost?" Zhang Hongbin didn't look at Li Dingguo and Wang Er, but looked at Niu Jinxing, who was still standing not far away.

"Lost!" Niu Venus saluted sincerely.

"Summary!" Zhang Hongbin replied with two words.

"Cannon, we underestimate Mingting's cannon too much...... Perhaps the danger caused by a single artillery is very limited, but the advantage of firearms is that everyone is equal in front of it, no matter how strong the martial arts, no matter how precious the identity, there is only a dead end in front of the firearm. The soldiers and generals of the Salvation Army had not really seen artillery before, nor had they really fought with the Ming army with artillery, and lacked relevant experience, which needed to be supplemented later.

If there is anything to add, it can only be said that the Salvation Army has won too many battles before, and it is proud. Otherwise, this time, there will be fewer casualties. Niu Jinxing talked eloquently, obviously prepared.

"Do you have any opinions?" Zhang Hongbin looked at Li Dingguo and Wang Er.

"The subordinates have no opinion......" The two replied in a neutral manner, but not enough.

"Proud soldiers will be defeated, whether it is in the art of war book or the story of the storyteller, there will be such a sentence. Why, after hitting a few small inland counties, you are complacent? There is also a Chang'an above Tongzhou, and there are more such cities in various places. Not to mention, the Guanning Iron Cavalry and the border army are not vegetarians, and further talking about the Mongolian Tartars and the Houjin Tartars, do you think they are so easy to deal with? Zhang Hongbin scolded angrily.

"We're still going to fight the Houjin Tartars?" Wang Er was stunned for a moment.

"Isn't this nonsense? Since our target is the whole world, how can we not deal with these barbarians who are always harassing us in Huaxia and even have the idea of occupying Huaxia? According to my meaning, those disobedient guys in Tibet should also be cleaned up, and at the same time, North Korea and Wadao should also be cleaned up! But that's not all, if I can still live to that day, I will knock down the Nanyang as my backyard in China. At the same time, we have to hit the other side of the sea, and knock down the Americas and even Africa! Zhang Hongbin directly said the ambition in his heart.

Before this, no one knew Zhang Hongbin's ambitions, perhaps many people wanted vision, and Zhang Hongbin was planning to be the king. And only a few people such as Niu Jinxing can see that Zhang Hongbin intends to be the emperor, and he is justifiably the emperor, that is, to knock down the entire Chinese country.

Now it's different, they only know at this time that Zhang Hongbin's ambition is incalculable, so big that they don't dare to look at it directly. If you dare to love others, you haven't said it before, it's not that you don't have ambition, but you're afraid of scaring yourself by saying it. At the same time, it can also be understood that the other party only wants to go to that day step by step, rather than moving towards the ultimate goal at the beginning.

After all, it is a genius who takes half a step before others, and a fool who takes a step before others. Zhang Hongbin's footprints are very steady, and it is difficult to find fault with them. This can't help but make people wonder, is this guy really only seventeen years old (imaginary age)?

"Okay, I've prepared the siege weapons for you, and it's your business how to use them. But according to my meaning, give me five or six days to get used to it, and then set off, remember, don't fire too many times, gunpowder is also very expensive.

Don't always kneel like this, I said that I hate others kneeling on me the most, you are old people and you should know the reason! That's it, let me go where I should go, these five days should be reflective, and I will set off in five days! Zhang Hongbin quickly returned to the topic.

"Yes!" The three of them knew that Zhang Hongbin was too lazy to continue talking to them, so they could only retire.

For five days, the three of them secretly came to a valley to test the so-called sharp weapons. Five days later, he walked out excitedly, and the smell of loess and gunsmoke was everywhere. But even so, the three of them were very happy, but they couldn't help but speak a little louder.

It is also familiar to know that their ears have been fully cultivated in the past five days, and they can't hear small sounds for the time being, and they can't hear them at all if they don't make a loud noise!

Thinking back to the rumbling sound heard outside, those who didn't know it thought it was no different from thunder. Some people who participated in the siege of Tongzhou realized that it was a cannon, but they felt that the cannon in Tongzhou was not as loud as this sound?

No matter what the situation was, as soon as they arrived in the fifth day, the three guys also simply washed up and set off on the journey.

It was also a little more than three days away, and they returned to the familiar city of Tongzhou, but this time, they did not bring even a single return gun.

At a distance of three miles, the people on the city wall saw that the thieves were digging pits, and after digging the holes one by one, they put large iron buckets inside, and looked up at a forty-five degree angle and aimed at them. Many people subconsciously think, is this artillery? But if you look closely, you don't think it's very similar, after all, the caliber is too big, and the iron sheet of the iron bucket is also a little thin, according to the process of the Ming Dynasty, using this kind of iron bucket as a cannon, the result is that it didn't blow up others, and killed yourself first.

But I didn't want to, the other party really used it as artillery, even if it was three miles away, with the help of the city wall defenders, they could still see the soldiers of the anti-thief, and began to install gunpowder into these iron barrels, and a very large amount of filling.

Many soldiers, including the generals of the defending army, laughed, and secretly said that it would be difficult for these thieves not to die.

But I didn't want to, with a roar, at least ten shells were shot out and flew directly to the city walls and even the city. And that's not all, these shells are not dead iron balls at all, but are wrapped one by one, and one of the leads on them has already been ignited.

As a result, when the lead burned out, the package landed right on the ground and exploded violently.

Well, with the recipe of black powder, even if it is the final version of granular gunpowder, then the explosive power of a package is still very limited. But because it's a flowering bullet instead of a solid one, the result is that its shock is even more powerful than a solid one.

Just over a dozen rounds, not only killed a lot of soldiers, but also blew up their souls.

But the other party would not give them a chance to breathe, and the second round of reloading began, and after the angle was corrected, it was launched towards the city gate. A full ten flowering shells roared out of the city gate, and the city gate was instantly blown down a lot. By the third time, the city gate finally came to an end and collapsed violently.

Yes, this is the Salvation Army's flying thunder cannon, the most outstanding invention of the Red Party, which can be transformed with gasoline barrels, and is cost-effective and practical, but there is no rifling and there is no way to accurately control the landing point. He was called a 'conscienceless cannon' by the captain of a transport brigade.

raw materials from the first layer, which brought enough gunpowder for these cannons; The gasoline barrel from the second floor realizes the supply of raw materials for the gun body; The gunpowder recipe book from the third layer directly makes the granular gunpowder quickly produced. The cost of each flying thunder cannon is only twenty taels of silver, which is comparable to the Franc cannon of the same period, and the cost of the Franc cannon in the Ming Dynasty in the same period is sixty taels of silver, and the actual price is two hundred taels of silver.

This was the first time that the Conscienceless Cannon had been used in battle, but the effect was surprisingly good, and it quickly suppressed the defenders and blasted the gates open.

The army was killed in a mighty way, especially Li Dingguo and Wang Er, who took the lead, just to be ashamed.

Until dark, the city of Tongzhou changes flags!

3,000 Ming officers and soldiers were captured, of which 2,000 were newly recruited Xinding, or temporary workers who had just been recruited from the homeless. The number of people killed was very small, less than 500 before and after, and the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty rarely resisted to the end after the enemy entered the city, which in a sense is quite like medieval European style.

All the officials below the governor of Tongzhou were captured, and what awaited them was surrender and examination, of course, the premise was that they were willing to surrender. And the question arises, are they willing to surrender? In practice, it is easy to find that more than eighty or even ninety percent of the Ming Dynasty officials were very willing to surrender. Few...... It's unfortunate that the same state is not like this.

Then, the next thing is easy, announcing that the Salvation Army attacking Tongzhou has been defeated, and Tongzhou is still under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

En, very harmonious and beautiful, hello everyone, is really good!
