4-37 Gundam vs Bazooka

The Dongchang people, who were preparing to attack, were all stunned and stunned on the spot when they saw the sudden appearance of the airships. "The Heavenly Soldiers are coming!" I don't know who shouted, and then the others followed and shouted, and the army was in turmoil.

"What a heavenly soldier! That's a chaotic party! Yang Bo saw the flag of the red-shirted regiment on the airship from the clairvoyant, and immediately understood that this was just a unique weapon, just like the urn Zhong outside the noon gate.

"Shoot these rebels with arrows!" Yang Gonggong spoke, the officer of the archery team kicked the soldiers' buttocks and urged them to release arrows at the airship, the panicked archers fought hard and opened their bows and arrows, and the sparse feather arrows were shot in the belly of the airship, which had no effect, it turned out that after the crash in Jinan last time, Addison deliberately strengthened the protection of the airship, especially the armor in the abdomen, and used lightweight paper armor and oiled silk to make composite armor that can prevent rockets, not to mention that the distance is so high, even a strong bow within ten steps may not be able to shoot through.

Although the bow and arrow did not damage the airship, it did anger the crew. "Bomb drop! Blow up these turtle sons. Under the order of Zamuhe, the armed officer measured the distance from the airship to the ground, and shouted loudly: "Prepare for the bomb, set the height of ten zhang and explode, prepare!" ”

The weapon operator quickly adjusted the fuse of the bomb accordingly, this bomb is not the same as the bomb used in the power parafoil, the fuse is a cotton core soaked in fire oil, the burning degree is very fast, if you want to make the bomb explode after landing, use the standard two-foot long fuse, if you want to pursue the killing effect, let the bomb explode in the air, the fuse will be truncated according to the standard of ten zhang and one inch.

The fuse was cut in half by the operator, and he threw off the lighter and put it next to the fuse, and then shouted loudly: "The bomb is in place, set ten feet high!" ”

"Target, archer cluster, put!"

"Target, archer cluster, put!" The operator repeated the command of the military controller, brushed his thumb, lit the fuse, and then jerked the wrench of the bomb bay, and a dozen round black iron balls the size of a football were loaded in the net pocket. It fell like a large grape, and the head of the bomb was equipped with a small whistle, the reeds of which were blown by the wind in the process of falling sharply, and made a shrill whistle.

Seeing a net of iron balls thrown on the airship, the archers thought it was a smashing weapon similar to a rolling log and a stone, who knew that these iron balls exploded in the air before they landed, and the real black powder loaded was ignited by the fuse and burned in a millionth of a second, so that a large amount of heat and gas equivalent to a thousand times the volume of gunpowder were released in a short period of time, such a huge amount of energy was bound in the iron ball, of course, it would explode, and there were prefabricated grooves on the outer wall of the cast iron ball. At this time, under the effect of the explosion, pieces of iron were broken into pieces and shot in all directions, like a dense rain of iron poured on the heads of the archers.

The power of hot weapons is far from being comparable to that of bows and crossbows, and after a round of bombardment, a large number of archers were killed, and the corpses were covered with bloody holes, which was terrible.

"Run!" The rest of the archers were terrified and fled in all directions, and the other teams that had not been bombed were also terrified when they saw such a terrible scene, and saw the airship slowly moving towards their positions, and they were so frightened that they ignored the officers' reprimands, and the formation was scattered in all directions.

Dispersed the officers and soldiers on the periphery, an airship flew in the direction of the Huagai Palace, the Fengtian Hall was already a sea of fire, so there must be people they wanted to rescue in the Huagai Hall surrounded by heavy regiments.

The people in front of the Huagai Hall finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the arrival of the large army, and their tense nerves had just relaxed, Liu Ziguang suddenly thought of something, and shouted at the government guards and spear teams around him: "Quickly raise the red flag and circle the sky three times!" ”

Zhao Erhu was very excited, the choice he made on the spot just now was undoubtedly correct, the situation took a turn for the worse, the emperor's reinforcements arrived, and they came from the sky, it was simply a divine soldier from heaven! He carried the big gun and went straight to the Huagai Palace, now is a good opportunity to show his face, he protected the emperor at a critical moment, and the glory and wealth in the future must be indispensable, before he ran up, he heard Liu Ziguang's shouting, Zhao Erhu was stunned, and saw Liu Ziguang shouting while pointing to the airship in the sky, and immediately understood, and casually tore off a large piece of red silk from the white marble railing on the side and wrapped it around the big gun, and moved around the airship.

The red flag is a ground-to-air air circle is a ground-to-air identification mark for friend and foe, this multi-party joint operation, in addition to the unified red scarf, also stipulates a number of contact codes, identification signs and other ways and means to prevent friendly troops from being injured by mistake, sure enough, seeing the red flag on the ground shaking, the airship on the airship knew that it was their own people who surrounded the Huagai Palace, and the bomb-throwing procedure had been stopped immediately after half of the process.

After the airship flew over the Huagai Palace, it slowly lowered its altitude, threw down a rope, and ten airborne soldiers slid down to protect Liu Ziguang.

"Leave me alone, protect Your Majesty!" Liu Ziguang hurriedly asked them to protect Zhu Youxiao, but this small plot had already fallen into Qian Qianyi's eyes, his expression changed slightly, and he said to Liu Ziguang: "The war in the palace is chaotic, let's quickly move the emperor and queen to a safe place." ”

Now not only the swords and swords in the palace, but the entire capital is in chaos, and the safest place can only be in the sky. "Your Majesty, please get on the airship." Liu Ziguang said to Zhu Youxiao.

"I can't do it, I want to put down the rebellion with the soldiers." Zhu Youxiao was still immersed in the excitement of the bloody battle, and insisted on refusing to get on the airship to escape.

"The emperor's body is ten thousand gold, how can he easily make a risk, not to mention that there is a queen here, it is better to hurry up and get on the airship to avoid for a while." Liu Ziguang said anxiously.

"I'm going to kill the enemy!" Zhu Youxiao's neck was twisted, his temper was quite stubborn, and a few airborne soldiers couldn't stand it, so they didn't care about the emperor and queen, and they wanted to force Zhu Youxiao when they came over.

"Wait" Qian Qianyi blocked the reckless soldiers, and said to Zhu Youxiao: "The airship is condescending, and the capital is clear at a glance. ”

"Ascend to command, well, okay." Zhu Youxiao was moved at this time, and took Xu Yuanhui to prepare to board the boat, and the airborne soldiers tied the rope noose around the waists of the two, and then hung them up with a winch.

"The emperor is young and vigorous, there are some words that he will accept in another way, General Liu, the task of countering the rebellion will be handed over to you." Qian Qianyi smiled chicly, his eloquence and wisdom are indeed very strong, Liu Ziguang is ashamed of himself, but when it comes to fighting, it is a different matter.

"The order, the airborne troops landed, and the airship was used as the lead to clear out the anti-thieves. Medics were sent down to treat the wounded in the hall. You, yes, it's you, the old man with a big gun, who led your people to attack the anti-thieves in Dongchang, and the time has come to make meritorious contributions. Liu Ziguang calmly laid out the order, and the order was passed by the signal soldiers to the two-color order flag to Zamuhe on the airship, and then to all the airborne troops of the Red Shirt Regiment with the flag language.

Zhao Erhu didn't see the emperor's face, and felt a little regretful, but when he saw Liu Ziguang, who was wearing a python robe, giving orders to himself, he responded loudly without the slightest hesitation: "Obey!" "If you can't take the emperor's line, you can also take the line of the big celebrity around the emperor, this young man seems to be full of fighting, such a brave man should have a good temper with himself, it's him! Zhao Erhu recognized the backer to follow in the future, and he was full of spirit, and roared: "Brothers of the spear battalion, the time has come to make meritorious contributions, follow a certain to kill the enemy!" ”

A thousand pikemen are quite comfortable with the change of their identity, just now they were all thieves and rebels, but now they have become officers and soldiers of counterinsurgency, anyway, as long as their situation in this area is good, who will they fight with. Under the leadership of Zhao Erhu, they attacked the Wulou on the west side of the square where Yang Bo was entrenched, and the defensive void left behind was immediately replaced by the airborne troops of the Red Shirt Regiment who fell from the sky.

A large group of wounded people in the Huagai Hall were treated, and these envoys from various countries saw the powerful power of airships and bombs, and they were all dumbfounded, the force of the Ming Dynasty was so strong, no wonder the Manchus lost the battles one after another.

"Brother Tai, Zheng Sen is willing to fight side by side with you to eradicate the rebellion." The young man in the short-sleeved red shirt was quite enthusiastic, and after a fight just now, his admiration for Liu Ziguang spontaneously arose, and the so-called heroes cherished each other, and Liu Ziguang also had a good impression of this young man.

"The little brother belongs to the Zheng family in Taiwan, right?" Liu Ziguang looked him up and down, seventeen or eighteen years old, not very tall, but quite athletic, and under the two thick eyebrows were shimmering eyes.

"My father is Zheng Zhilong, the king of Taiwan, in Zheng Sen, I came to the capital this time to say hello to the emperor, and I came to ask for a name for the Zheng family." Zheng Sen replied.

"Okay, Xiao Zheng, go with me to kill the enemy, the affairs of your Zheng family are wrapped up in me Liu Ziguang." Liu Ziguang said heroically that Taiwan took the initiative to demand the return of the Ming Dynasty, and this is of course a good thing that cannot be desired.

Hundreds of hot air balloons began to land slowly, the airborne troops shouted with weapons to kill, under the cover of the airship, towards the Wulou where the anti-thieves of the Dongchang factory were entrenched, although at this time Yang Bo still had five or six thousand men and horses, but there were bombs and crossbows of airships, and there were pikes and airborne troops under the charge, these people could not resist at all.

"Withdraw, meet the brothers outside the noon gate!" Yang Bo saw that the general trend had gone, and hurriedly led his men to fight and retreat, and withdrew in the direction of the noon gate, the infantry on both sides fought together, and the airship was not good at throwing bombs anymore, so he had to take the first step and flew to the outside of the noon gate to support the operation, and the four domineering Weng Zhong outside had already fallen into the eyes of the pilot, and he wanted to try whether this thing could resist the bombing of the bomb.

The fierce attack of these soldiers even Zhao Erhu, who thought that he was strict in governing the army, was only worthy of fighting them, and the two thousand men drove Yang Bo out of the palace in a round.

Out of the noon gate is an open stone slab land, the east is the Taimiao, the west is the Sheji altar, the east factory people

Having already controlled the initiative on the battlefield, the four Weng Zhong chased the Donglin Party Army and the Xiaoling Wei Regiment around, without the power to parry, after Yang Bo escaped, he quickly gathered the soldiers and horses, surrounded Weng Zhong, and tried to rely on Weng Zhong's strong power to pull back a game.

The two sides set up a formation near the Taimiao, and the royalist troops wearing red silk joined forces, and there were also four or five thousand men and horses, and the two sides were equal, with Weng Zhong and the airship pressing the formation. Liu Ziguang and Qian Qianyi also drove out of the palace, Qian Qianyi had no experience in such a big battle, so he naturally let Xian give Liu Ziguang and Xu Zengshou They all know Liu Ziguang's prestige, and naturally they have no objections.

"Who knows what it is?"

Liu Ziguang pointed to the four Weng Zhong who were standing still and asked, surrounded by the generals. In the face of such a huge robot, it is difficult to be sure of victory even if there is a bomb on the airship, so he does not dare to attack easily for the time being.

"I don't know what the hell it is, the cannon can't move, but luckily this thing doesn't run fast, otherwise we would all have to be trampled to death by him." Zhao Zhangcheng still had palpitations when he thought of the experience just now.

"This thing is called Weng Zhong, it was made by Changzhou Qishuyan Machinery Factory for the emperor's wedding, I didn't expect that there was such a mystery, it was our intelligence work that was negligent." Qi Zhenming was a little ashamed, he was in charge of intelligence, and he didn't detect the other party's secret weapon, which was a serious dereliction of duty.

Liu Ziguang took out a clairvoyant mirror to observe Weng Zhong, only to see more than a dozen carriages parked behind the huge bronze man, there were plate carts full of coal and tank trucks loaded with water, dozens of workers were busy transporting water and coal to the bronze man through pipes and hanging blue, piles of burning coal ash poured out of the back of the bronze man, and fell to the ground and piled up into small hills.

It seems to be a steam-driven robot with very thick armor, it seems that there are really many skilled craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty, and the bombs on the airship are all flowering and blasting shells, I am afraid that they can't deal with such perverted armor, but one thing drops one thing, among the ten carts of weapons sent by Peng Jingrong last time, there is a sharp weapon that is just right to deal with Weng Zhong.

"Who knows what the hell that is?" Yang Bo was also asking the same thing, the ghost thing he was referring to was the airship, the huge airship hovering at low altitude, even more murderous, the huge volume and the four Weng Zhong complemented each other. Not at all lagging behind.

"Something that can fly, it's subtle, and I guess it must contain a gas lighter than air, and a crossbow might work. If the gas leaks through its outer skin, it will naturally fall off. A middle-aged man in a scribe's shirt observed the airship for a few minutes and came to a conclusion.

"Mr. Gao is indeed the Xi technician of Qishuyan, according to your words, but our bow and crossbow don't seem to be willing to wear that thing." Yang Bo said.

"It's okay, Weng Zhong has his own steam-powered crossbow, not to mention a layer of skin, even the city wall can shoot through, this kind of airbag will definitely not be protected by iron armor in order to ensure lift-off, Governor, you can rest assured." Gundam patted his chest and made a guarantee.

"That's very good, when Weng Zhong fills up the coal, let's do it." With four Weng Zhong in hand, the confidence of Yang Bo and his subordinates has returned, not to mention the thousands of royalist troops in front of them, and it will be no problem to even pack up the queen mother hidden in the harem later.

The time was already afternoon, the sun was still scorching, both sides were nervously preparing for the war, Weng Zhong's water and coal were added, the boiler furnace was also cleaned, the hot dizzy operator in the cab drank enough water in the shade, climbed up the escalator hidden in Weng Zhong's thigh, got into the cab from the hatch of the buttocks, rang the bell, signaled the stoker to light the fire and send coal, and prepare for battle.

The opposite weapon is also finished, this is a one-time shooting weapon, the appearance is cylindrical, it is caused by the joint of the old bamboo pipe with uniform thickness, the thickness is about the same as the sea bowl, the outside also strangles three iron hoops in order to ensure the strength, the front of the bamboo tube is encapsulated with a cylindrical pointed iron cannonball, the rear is sealed with yellow mud, horsetail, glutinous rice juice, the middle is a certain equivalent of black powder, because it is a disposable weapon, so the ignition device does not use a complex flint ratchet system, but uses the simplest fuse, The fuse is drawn out of an iron thin iron pipe, which can be ignited with a lighter, and there are two brackets made of thin bamboo pipes at the front of the barrel, which is convenient for shooting on the ground, because the reliability is not high, so the operator can not resist it when shooting, this weapon is basically a mixture of the original version of the recoilless gun and the bazooka, and it is not too much to call it a big killer.

Seeing that Weng Zhong's operators were all in place, Gundam nodded to Yang Bo and signaled that he could start attacking, and Yang Bo waved the command flag when he saw this: "Attack!" ”

In Weng Zhong's stomach, the stoker sweated like rain and shoveled high-quality coal into the hearth, the raging flame burned the water in the boiler into steam, the powerful steam power drove a large number of pistons, gears, crankshafts, ratchets, levers, driving the giant's legs forward, the soot after coal burning came out of the chimney located in Weng Zhong's two ears, in the cab, the temperature was as high as more than 50 degrees, the operator endured the scorching heat to manipulate Weng Zhong's every move, each Weng Zhong was equipped with a small steam crossbow system as a defensive weapon, This is the right time to use against the fragile airship.

The armor worn by Weng Zhong is made of tin foil and bamboo, just as a camouflage, at this time, for the convenience of combat, the camouflage has been torn off, the copper robot of ** presents a rough and evil industrial beauty, and what is even more evil is that the position of the set of crossbow arrows is located in the ** part of the bronze man, a thick copper cylinder stretched out from between Weng Zhong's legs, and aimed at the airship at an angle of forty-five degrees.

The royalist army was not idle, two hundred shooters rushed out of the rear team, in groups of two, lay down on the spot and propped up the bazookas, aimed at Weng Zhong, who was advancing, and the windproof lighter shook off the lid and gathered next to the fuse, waiting for the commander to give the order.

Weng Zhong fired first, among the four copper **, a three-foot-long iron arrow shot out with white steam, and shot towards the royalist airship with lightning speed, the steam-powered crossbow was huge, and the protection of the airship was as fragile as a baby under the attack of this weapon, the air bags in the hull burst one by one, the hydrogen gas leaked quickly, and the flight altitude also dropped sharply, fortunately the other party did not shoot a rocket, otherwise it would be a catastrophe to cause an explosion.

The other party fired first, the shooters of the red-shirt regiment were still calm as usual, no one looked at the falling airship, their eyes were fixed on Weng Zhong, who came over step by step, and continued to adjust the aiming angle, the direction of the rocket after ejecting the chamber is difficult to guarantee, it is good to have one hit in ten, so the closer the distance, the higher the hit rate, and the corresponding power can be greatly increased.

Fortunately, the airship that was shot down was not the one that the little emperor was riding, this unlucky airship spun and fell to the ground, fortunately, there were still a few airbags that did not burst, and the degree of descent was not the degree of free fall, so that the people below had a chance to dodge, and the other airships saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly slammed the steering wheel and dodged to the side, and the strict formation of the royalist army was chaotic for a while.

At this time, Weng Zhong had already walked closer, the four giants had already raised the melee weapons in their hands, and the operator also saw hundreds of small people with strange bamboo tubes lying in front of them, although they didn't know what kind of weapon was in the bamboo tube, but it must be used against themselves, and the operators laughed at this hand and stretched out their hands to the joystick, they wanted to trample these little reptiles that were not known to the height of the sky into meat patties.

"Put!" Artillery battalion commander Zhong Shouyong was waiting for this time, and at the current distance, ten bazookas could hit at least eight, and the damage caused must be very large.

The rocketeers lit the fuse, then quickly retreated, not caring about the hit, and hurriedly removed another bazooka from the back of the secondary shooter, ready for a second strike.

A hundred recoilless rockets are like a hundred angry fire dragons rushing towards the four Weng Zhong, which is spectacular! Flames came out from the front and back ends of the barrel body, the stone slabs were scorched a large area, the gunpowder gas pushed cannonball power than the steam-driven cannonball I don't know how many times greater, hit Weng Zhong immediately pierced a big hole, Weng Zhong is a steam-powered robot, the core part is located in the upper body of the boiler system, the boiler system itself in order to prevent excessive pressure, the use of thick steel plates, other parts of the copper plate of different thicknesses, iron plates, defense bows, arrows, knives and guns, and even large crossbows and other weapons are not a problem, But it's still a bit powerless to deal with a powerful weapon like a bazooka.

Weng Zhong was hit in many parts of his body, steam leaked, machinery was damaged, Weng Zhong, who lost power, immediately failed, and the ** steam crossbow raised high also drooped down, completely impotent. Within a few minutes, the four scarred Weng Zhong were lying on their stomachs.

"Free Fire!" Zhong Shouyong ordered, the target of this bazooka attack is thousands of rebels on the opposite side, so many people lined up neatly are the best targets, it is difficult to miss.

A hundred fire dragons swept through Yang Gonggong's troops, and everywhere he went, people turned on their backs, and a piece of flesh and blood flew sideways, Yang Bo glanced at the destroyed Weng Zhong, and sighed: "The general trend has gone." ”

The hearts of the Dongchang rebels were scattered, and the Jin Wuwei and government guards who were attached to Yang Bo were no longer willing to work for the eunuchs, and they fought back under the leadership of the prefecture-level officers, and fought together with the Dongchang fans. The royalists on the opposite side saw the opportunity to act, launched a full-front attack, and the tide rushed over.
