The moment the shells rained down on the formation, everyone couldn't believe their eyes. Shrapnel is flying, and flesh is flying.

Whole people, and parts of them, were lifted several meters high. Whether it's heavy iron armor or light rattan armor. All of them were beaten like a sieve by shrapnel, and the tiny shrapnel was not big, but it was very deadly.

The rate of fire of mortars is the fastest existence of this era, and there will definitely be no statement that one of them will appear. The ultra-high rate of fire and nitric acid gunpowder completely compensated for the slight lack of accuracy.

The sad army of strong men did not even see the fire of the muzzle. was smashed by the cannonballs falling from the sky, miserable! It's miserable!

Behind him was a tall general flag, majestic. But now, it's a pile of corpses. Five mortars were aimed at him, and it was very difficult to survive. The flag was shattered like a cloth, and the broken pieces of cloth fluttered in the wind.

Ruan Dacheng's jaw was about to dislocate, he never thought that the firearms under Li Xiao would be so sharp. It's just a round of five rapid fires, and there is no one standing in front of the strong man.

"Hugh ......! Brother Hugh, this ......! Pointing to the battlefield, Ruan Dacheng trembled and didn't know what to say.

Li Xiu didn't speak, but just watched the strong man flee towards the forest at a speed many times faster than when he came. He once again understood the words of his eldest brother Li Xiao, and he relied on artillery to fight. Firearms are just a supplement to the cannons!

Glancing back at the city of Guangzhou, Li Xiu muttered to himself: "The governor should also be assassinated by the assassins of the strong man." ”

Before he could finish his words, he saw a roast chicken with a chicken leg in his mouth on the castle tower.

"Knocked back?" When Zou Weilian heard the news of the strong man's retirement, he couldn't believe it was true. The strong man has always been fierce and arrogant, and now the Tartars in the north are making a lot of noise. The southern army is really insufficient, and the Ming officers and soldiers have to give up three points when they see these guys.

Unexpectedly, it was only less than a quarter of an hour. was beaten by Li Xiao's second brother, and Zou Weilian had a very strong skepticism.

"Huh! Old fellow, don't fool around. If you lose a hundred taels of silver, bring it quickly. If you're short on money, a two-day grace period is not out of the question. However, in a few nights, Huichun Building will have to pay your account. Chen Fu's hand almost hit Zou Weilian's face, and he shook it impatiently.

"You don't doubt it at all?" has been in the military all his life, Zou Weilian knows the mystery of officialdom to deceive his superiors and subordinates. But this time it's a little too mysterious!

"Can this kind of thing be used for mystery? You got kicked in the head by a donkey? Chen Fu looked at his old friend with some disdain, and his eyes were not much different from looking at an idiot.

"So you believe that someone can defeat him in a quarter of an hour?"

"Won't you go up to the castle tower and take a look?" Chen Fu had a smile on his face, and there was confidence like a fan in his smile.

"Handsome! Oh no, the strong man's spies assassinated the governor. The lieutenant ran in, his panting face changed.

"Huh! Evil of your own accord! Chen Fu shook his head, offending Li Xiao and still wanting to live in peace and stability is simply a fool's dream.

"This ......!" Zou Weilian was a little stunned, the original plan was not like this. Why did you assassinate Cai Shanji all of a sudden? But soon Zou Weilian recovered, so that all the credit for defending the city fell on Ruan Dacheng. It's really a quick trick to cut through the mess!

"Brother Xiao must do this for a reason. Everything, it's not too late to ask when he comes back. Let's go, let's go to the city wall and have a look, you don't want to pay the bill. After Lao Chen Fu finished speaking, he walked out towards the door.

The strong man came suddenly, and the number of soldiers in Guangzhou was very limited. The people knew that the strong men were coming to attack the city, and the people were panicking.

On weekdays, those barbarians were fierce, and the Han people did not dare to go to their settlements when they were idle. Now he actually attacked Guangzhou, and if the city is broken, it will be repaid.

Chen Fu and Zou Weilian walked all the way, and the streets of Guangzhou, which used to be bustling, are now empty. Occasionally running past a person, it's like being chased by a wolf.

Before they reached the end of the city, they found that the gates of the city had been opened. This surprised Zou Weilian, if the reins were cheating. At this time, rush back, is there still a good one in Guangzhou City?

Now he regrets a little and handed over the city of Guangzhou to a prefect who only knows about the drill camp. There's also a half-big doll with no hair on its mouth!

"How dare you open the gates, close them, let them close them." Zou Weilian shouted loudly under the city.

"Lord Admiral, the strong men have all fled. Xiaguan had already set out to pacify the people, and this time the barbarian rebellion could be quelled. Thanks to Lord Lee's strategy, and your Counsellor of the Admiral. In the report to the imperial court, the lower officials will definitely not forget the merits of the adults. ”

The chubby Ruan Dacheng smiled, walked down the city tower with a happy face, and saw Zou Weilian and Chen Fu arching their hands as a salute.

"Your Excellency! Do you know that if the strong man is defeated, this Guangzhou city is in danger. ”

"Fraud?" Ruan Dacheng seemed to have heard the best joke, looking down from the city wall, no one could see it. Still cheating? Is there such a deceit?

"Lord Admiral, please go up to the castle tower and have a look." Ruan Dacheng didn't say much, and invited Chen Fu and Zou Weilian to go to the city of Guangzhou.

went to the city, Zou Weilian's mouth opened like a hippopotamus.

Two or three miles below the city, there were dense corpses. Some of the wounded soldiers who did not die were still squirming on the ground. A scream that seemed to be out of nowhere, and it could be heard clearly two or three miles away.

"It's all ......!" Zou Weilian's fingers trembled and pointed to the corpse in the distance.

"Li Jiaer...... Father! After just one round of cannons, the strong men threw away their baggage and ran away. Xia Guan is ordering people to find the body of the Xuan, if it is not bad. The Hammer must have been killed, and if we're lucky, we'll be able to get a full head. "Ruan Dacheng has never been like this, eager to get a human head.

As long as this head is sent up, with this credit, as long as the court adds fuel to the fire, his position as the governor will be determined eighty percent.

"A round of cannons?" Zou Weilian couldn't believe it was true. He is also a veteran soldier, and he has not used artillery to bombard the Japanese invaders when he was in North Korea. I have never heard of this effect. Could it be that the Japanese are more forbidden to fight than the strong?

"Old stuff! You don't have to ask questions, I'll tell you. The firearms under the command of Brother Xiao are the sharpest existence of our Ming Dynasty. The red-haired ghost's firearms are powerful, but they are all mallets compared to him, hehe! Chen Fu patted Zou Weilian on the shoulder and pointed to the mortar on the city wall.

Since the mortar is a curved artillery, placing it on the city wall can effectively increase the firing range. Therefore, Li Xiu moved these things to the city wall. Anyway, another feature of the mortar is that it is easy to carry.

"Lord Admiral, now you should go to the Governor's Yamen. I've heard that the governor is colluding with the strong men to cause trouble. If you search his study closely, you may be able to see a letter from the Governor to the Governor. Zou Weilian was about to walk over to see the mortar position, when Li Xiu came over. After saluting Chen Fu, he said to Zou Weilian.

"Is there such a thing? Didn't you say that the Governor was assassinated by a strong man's assassin? There were too many surprises today, and Zou Weilian was a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Maybe it was the Zhuang people who were defeated by Lord Ruan, and the Zhuang people thought that the governor had deceived them, so they did this. Otherwise, how could someone assassinate the governor in the heavily guarded yamen. ”

"Uh......!" Privately searching the governor's yamen, this matter can be big or small. If you can't get the evidence, then it's a big problem.

"Oops! I said you old thing, the older you live, the more you go back. Brother Hugh let you go, you take care of it. There will be a letter, just go to his study and find it. ”

"Oh! Good! Urged by Chen Fu, Zou Weilian also wanted to see how this old enemy died. took his own soldiers and went to the governor's yamen. However, he had already made up his mind in private, if he couldn't find the letter, he would immediately put the charge on Ruan Dacheng's head.

"Brother Hugh, this is a bit of a shame for Cai Shanji! In this case, he will not even get a posthumous mourning. Not only that, but family members will also be confiscated. It is likely that it will be sent to your Liaodong and into your hands. It's still nine deaths and one life, it's simply ten deaths and no life. ”

Chen Fu was a little confused, because Mao Li Xiao was so ruthless to Cai Shan.

"Uncle Chen, you don't know! This Cai Shanji actually colluded with the red-haired ghost and wanted to invite the red-haired ghost of Chijicheng in Yizhou to come to Guangzhou to help him. Fortunately, my eldest brother sent John to Chichicheng to find out the news, otherwise he would have suffered a big loss.

Originally, I wanted to leave him a glimmer of life, but when he eats like this, my eldest brother can't tolerate him. My eldest brother said that anyone who is a foreigner should be cut off from their children. His family will definitely be sent to Liaodong, hum! ”

Chen Fu nodded, this is understood. The reason why Li Xiao made such a ruthless move was all because Cai Shanji was smart and wanted to ask the red-haired ghost for help.

This Cai Shanji is also a matter between Ming officials. If you invite foreign soldiers to intervene, no wonder it is said that the red-haired ghost is rampant and domineering in Guangzhou, and it is he, the governor, who dares to support him.

"Just don't leave the head and tail, you can get the head of the man." Ruan Dacheng laughed on the side, anyway, Cai Shanji is dead. Now what he cares about most is the human head.

"Enough, so many cannons are bombarding together. It's hard to have a complete corpse, depending on your luck! Li Xiu glanced at the pile of corpses and shook his head helplessly.

"Set off fireworks and report to the eldest brother."

"No!"

Fireworks burst into the sky and exploded over the city of Guangzhou.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Maoershan is not close to Guangzhou, and Li Xiao still heard the sound of cannons. Zheng Sen, who climbed into the tree, pointed to the sky above Guangzhou City in the distance, "Master, signal, look at the signal!" ”

"Got it!" Li Xiao beckoned Zheng Sen to come down.

At the sound of the order, the soldiers in ambush in the forest were ready.

"Master! Why don't we set up an ambush on both sides, let's set up an ambush on one side, and what if they run into the forest on the other side? Zheng Sen was a little puzzled as to why Li Xiao only set up an ambush in the woods on one side of the road, while only laying some mines on the other side.

"Silly boy! Ambush on both sides, the gunners shoot, don't they shoot their own people? This time, we are not going to wipe out all the strong men, but we are just going to make them suffer a lot of losses. It's best to have a draw with Dongman Toast in the future! You see, here they are. ”

Li Xiao stood on the top of the mountain condescendingly, and sporadic black spots had begun to appear on the road below the mountain. At first glance, these people are fierce people, scurrying like flying on the rugged mountain roads. If he really fought in the mountains, Li Xiao felt that his soldiers had no chance of winning.

But now there is mental arithmetic and unintentional, and the strong man has just experienced failure. The heavy shelling has long crushed their morale. The head man does not know life and death, and the strong man who has no command now only thinks about going home.

"Pap", "Pap", "Pap", "......" sporadic people, then there are only sporadic gunshots. Although it is a breech gun, the marksmanship of the veterans who followed Li Xiao is very accurate. The 100-meter piercing Yang is a bit ridiculous, but there is no problem at all when it hits people 100 steps away.

Powerful dummmy bullets can ensure maximum lethality. Even if he was hit in the arm and leg, with the medical technology of this age, the man would be dead.

A small group of scattered guys, all of whom are from the logistics baggage camp. Seeing that the front was not good, the girl ran back. Due to the difference in physical strength, the ranks of these people were very open. Those who are in good health run to the front. The poor body fell behind, and I thought that Guangzhou City would send someone to chase it out.

Those guys who ran fast were still rejoicing in their hearts, but the bullets flew over one by one. Ruthlessly turn them into corpses lying on the road!

"There's an ambush!" Finally, a large group of people passed by and saw corpses strewn across the ground. Immediately screamed, and they all burrowed into the mountains and forests beside the road.

Those who unfortunately got into Li Xiao's side were naturally beaten into a sieve by the platoon of guns. Those who got to the other side were still glad that they had escaped, but unexpectedly, explosions sounded one after another in the forest.

I don't know what's on the ground, and if you accidentally step on it, it will explode.

The violent explosion took countless lives, and shrapnel flew unscrupulously in the dense forest. From time to time, shrapnel hit the wood, making a "do" and "do" sound.

Landmines can actually have a huge destructive effect on people's psyche, when a person steps on a mine. Others will feel that there are landmines everywhere and that they can't get their feet down.

And by this time, Li Xiao's gunners had already carried out a second reload. Dense bullets came from the forest opposite.

Screams, explosions, gunshots! There are also the cries of people in despair, echoing in the forest.
