Chapter 34 Artillery Destruction and Death
As soon as Qian Si rushed over, I heard a scream in the tent, and then there was no sound. Inside the tent, Zhao Shun was already crying in fright. I couldn't comfort him, and the knife in my hand had to block the falling fire.
I'm going to die here? Seeing the fire above my head burn more and more, and the whole roof is burned down, it will be my time of death. It doesn't take more than two minutes to visualize. If you really can't do it, you can only rush out, stay inside and be burned to death, and maybe there may be a glimmer of life when you rush outside.
Why is there some chaos outside? Their fire brigade is already in order, and now I can hear the screams. Tie Xuan led the southern army out of the city? Just when I was in the middle of the night, Luo Shicheng rushed in. This is the second time in the past two days that he has fallen from the sky, and it seems that he is my lucky star.
"Come with me. Luo Shicheng split the tent with a sword and rushed out first. I also raised my knife and pulled Zhao Shun out of the tent.
The scene was quite chaotic, more than a dozen soldiers of the Northern Army surrounded us five or six people, fortunately there was Luo Shicheng, although we had no advantage in numbers, but the fight was not ambiguous at all. It's the same as playing basketball, if you have a master, then the whole team will be brought alive. Of course, I belong to the kind of skill that is not good or bad, and it will be more ruthless if there is a master, and I can take on it without a master.
That's a lot. We paid the price of two people, followed Luo Shicheng to rush out of the encirclement of more than a dozen people, and ran around in the "Arhat Formation" just now. We followed behind Luo Shicheng, and it didn't take long for no one to chase after us. After making sure it was safe, Luo Shicheng stopped, and we looked back. The Northern soldiers turned around and went somewhere else.
"Do you also know the Arhat Array?" Luo Shicheng was able to bring us out of the ghost wall, after all, we were mixed in the monk's temple, and we all learned the same.
"What Arhat Formation?" Luo Shicheng asked rhetorically.
"Ghost hit the wall, the three of us almost never got out. ”
"That's the Nine Lotus Array founded by Guru Padmasambhava. Luo Shicheng replied, "If you have the order to go out, I will teach you." ”
This is obviously a big step forward in my relationship with him. He actually took the initiative to teach me the formation, and I felt a little flattered for a while.
"Have you seen the cannon?" I asked, "just now we met a ghost hitting the wall and spinning in a circle for a long time. ”
"I don't know that. ”
That's right, it's high-tech. Although a large-scale army has been generally accepted, it is difficult for ordinary people to see such high-end goods if they are not mixed in the army.
Luo Shicheng told me that we had reached the very center of the entire camp, and the outer layer of the Nine Lotus Array was like a ring guarding this place. Their grain and grass were divided into separate areas, and four teams found the grain and grass and successfully lit the fire. However, the fire started quickly, and people found it quickly, and it was quickly discovered and extinguished, and it is estimated that the damage caused was not large. As for how many people we lost, it is not known.
Since you can't get out of the center for a while, let's look inside. Zhu Di believed in Dao Yan very much, and actually did not send too many soldiers to stand guard in the Nine Lotus Array. It's also convenient for us, and we can run around.
But it didn't take long for soldiers to pour in from the formation. It should be that Dao Yan knew that we had escaped, so he hurriedly reported to Zhu Di and sent soldiers in to search.
Running around with your head covered in it can sometimes be unexpected. When I saw such a well-appointed tent standing in front of me, I stopped. It's like that tent has a suction that keeps me immobile.
"Mr. Mu Wu, what's wrong?"
Zhao Shun followed me and stopped suddenly, hitting my head on the back.
"Zhu Di is inside. "I said to myself.
"You can't kill him. Luo Shicheng, who was in front of me, also stopped and urged me to hurry up. The area around Zhu Di's tent must be dangerous.
I didn't listen to Luo Shicheng, but I was fascinated and walked towards the tent. I felt like there was no sound from the outside world, and all that was left in the world was the distance between me and this tent. I can't see anything else.
The tent's curtain was unusually heavy, and it was opened, and a gentle light from inside shone into my eyes. I subconsciously squinted my eyes, and when I got used to it, I could see the scenery in the room.
It's so simple that it's not what a manager should have. I didn't pay attention to what was in Monk Daoyan's tent, at least there was a tea, a few candlesticks, and a set of props for playing the tea ceremony.
There was only one blanket in this tent, and a man sat on the blanket. This man looked about my age, twenty-six or seventeen. The oily noodles can be said to look very standard.
I came to my senses the moment he opened his eyes to look at me. This guy is not Zhu Di.
"Who are you?" I heard myself. It felt like another out-of-body experience. It was like watching a movie.
"Under the surname Ma, the name Sanbao. The man's mouth was slightly open.
Isn't that Zheng He? The second eunuch under Zhu Di.
"Zheng He?" I couldn't help but shout.
Zheng He didn't seem to hear it, but he still sat on the blanket and looked at me with a smile.
"Isn't this Zhu Di's tent?" Is this me talking? It should be me, the me I see. It was like I was watching a live broadcast.
"Of course, this is King Yan's tent," Ma Sanbao, that is, Zheng He, got up from the blanket and walked towards me, "However, how can King Yan be seen when you meet." ”
Seeing that one of Ma Sanbao's hands was about to touch my face, I saw his face change. It's not the way it used to be.
"Pretending to be a ghost!"
I heard Luo Shicheng's voice, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which made me feel excited. Only then did I see clearly that Ma Sanbao was stepping back step by step. Luo Shicheng's sword did not slash at Ma Sanbao, but towards the corner of the tent. There was a sudden exclamation in that corner, and the tent shook, apparently someone had run out.
"What happened just now?" I ran out and looked back at the shiny tent, how did I just walk over like a demon was stunned. After seeing Ma Sanbao, I seemed to be fascinated by him. Then Luo Shicheng slashed over with a sword, and Ma Sanbao's body slowly dissipated like a torn shadow. It's all like a dream, and it doesn't feel real when you wake up from it.
"The trick of the monks of the Western Regions. ”
It seems that Luo Shicheng is very proficient in these. First, he was able to come out of the ghost wall, and now he has seen through Ma Sanbao's illusion. Ma Sanbao is a registered disciple of Daoyan, and he has been a eunuch for a long time, so there is no way to shave his degree.
"That's it. ”
After going around this dark place for a long time, I finally saw the red-clothed cannon.
The thing was wrapped in a huge cloth. Maybe it's to keep out the wind and rain. I pulled the cloth several times and couldn't pull it off.
"Just burn this with a fire. Zhao Shun helped pull twice on the side, but it didn't work.
"How can it be so easy, the red-coated cannon is made of red copper, and it is not afraid of wind and fire. No matter how big the fire is, there is no way to burn it. I shook my head, this thing is really hard to destroy. It takes hundreds of people to move, and how can we have the ability to destroy it. Now it seems that it is still not enough thought before. It's easy to burn grain and grass, but it's hard to destroy artillery. This is not the era of bazookas and grenades, and enough explosives can do it.
Otherwise, Zhu Di wouldn't be afraid of someone hitting his red-clothed cannon. If you throw a stone, it will take years to destroy it. So there is no one to stop you along the way, as long as you don't step into Zhu Di's forbidden area, no one will pay attention to you. Anyway, there is no return, and it is not too late to clean up us the next morning.
"Gunpowder!" I suddenly remembered, "Aren't the shells of the red cannons filled with gunpowder?" ”
Gunpowder was already common in the Ming Dynasty, and the simplest thing was to install gunpowder on the arrows and make rockets. Originally, the red-coated cannon only hit iron pellets and iron balls, but it was not powerful at all. Later, gunpowder was added, and when it was hit, it hit an obstacle and exploded. The power of black powder is still much worse, but it is already remarkable.
"What are the shells?
There are no "professional soldiers" with my death squad at all, they are all recruited temporarily, and no one knows what is going on with the redcoat cannons.
"A round lump of iron. "I can't explain it to them clearly, so let's look for it quickly, it's dark and blind, and I don't know if I can find it. The shells should be near the cannon, which is a match.
"Found it, are these these?" I don't know who cried out excitedly.
"Quietly. "Before I had time to warn, I saw four Northern Army soldiers rushing out of the shadows, and they cut down our people unexpectedly.
Luo Shicheng grabbed it first, and solved three with one sword. One of the Northern soldiers was a little smarter, screaming and running away. Luo Shicheng could only throw the sword in his hand and plunge it straight into the back of the guy's heart.
This cannonball is still relatively important, and you have to find someone to watch it. However, the general cannonballs are matched with cannons, and without cannons, it is useless to take cannonballs. Of course, this is just for the average person. I'm a person with scientific knowledge and a former soldier, so I still know a little bit about that.
"Quick, move all of this under the cannon. "I can carry at most one shell by myself.
Those shells can be two hundred meters away from the cannon, and one person is tired enough to choke on one move. And the dying cries of the Northern soldier who fled still attracted more soldiers. Soon it will be surrounded.
"Quick, take the two of them with you. "Seeing that the shells were already under the cannons, I said to Luo Shicheng. Now there are only four of us left, and we don't know how many of those who burn grain and grass will live.
"What about you?"
"I'll destroy the cannon and leave. ”
"We're with you. Zhao Shun refused to leave.
"Fart, do you know how to do it?" I scolded him, "Get out of here, I'll be enough alone." Do you still want Zhu Di to catch us?"
Luo Shicheng knew that it was not the time for his mother-in-law and mother-in-law, so he drove the two soldiers of the Southern Army into the darkness.
Seeing that they were gone, I used a dagger to cut open the hole in the shell for gunpowder. The fuse could not be found, so I could only pour out some gunpowder as an introduction. There is also tung oil on the body, which was originally used to burn grain and grass, and now it can be used as a fuel fuse. Actually, it's useless, I can't run anyway. It is better to die with the red-clothed cannon, and the province will fall into the hands of Zhu Di and be tortured.
It's really a bit tragic. When I was in the army, those patriotic war films were shown in the army. The plots in those black-and-white movies are full of idealism. The soldiers of the Red Army, the Eighth Route Army, and the People's Liberation Army generously served in front of the enemy. Is it really the liberation of the whole nation that they have in mind?
Anyway, what I think is whether I can go back and see Lu Jia again after I die. Also, if only there was a cigarette if there was a fire on fire. I haven't smoked since I was discharged from the army.
I looked at the Northern soldiers rushing over and laughed. I didn't see Ma Sanbao, I didn't see Daoyan, and I didn't see Zhu Di. When I threw the fire fold on the tung oil under my feet, I thought to myself, it's a pity.
