"Thunderbolt!"

Shi Xiu slapped his thigh and exclaimed.

Tang Long was surprised: "Ah, Brother Shi Xiu really deserves to be the brother of 'Wu Mengde', and he is well-informed. ”

Shi Xiu said with a smile: "What you said is not bad, it was my brother who drank and chatted, speaking of the battle of Guandu that year, Yuan Shao's birdman piled up a mountain, built a building on the mountain, and there were archers standing upstairs to release arrows, Cao Gong built this thunderbolt car to deal with it, and the big stone hit Yuan Jun crying and calling his mother, at that time my brother Tie Niu refused to believe it, saying that he still couldn't throw such a big stone, what car can be stronger than him? My brother drew a pattern with a drink, and explained in detail, although it is not exactly the same thing as the thing you made, but it is also as if it has this old arm. ”

The "old long arm" in his mouth is naturally the force arm of the stone.

Tang Long praised: "Not bad! The battle of Guandu, there is indeed this guy, in fact, this thing has a prototype as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, "Mozi Beicheng Gate" cited "borrowing a car", that is, this thing, "Fan Li's Art of War" is also a stroke, "Flying stone weighs 12 catties, for the machine, 200 steps." 'The official name of this thing is called a cannon! In the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" of this dynasty, there are a total of nineteen kinds of cannon making methods, but the younger brother is not talented, and there are only fourteen kinds. ”

said "Little brother is not talented", but his expression was not ashamed, and the bridge of the nose of the road was parallel to the sky, like a proud avatar.

Shi Xiu listened to him quote scriptures, his mouth was like a river, and he had the style of a master craftsman, he couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, looked up and down at this "money leopard", and secretly said: No wonder he has a strange appearance, it turns out that he is a strange person with unique skills! As the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, but this person is of great use to my brother.

turned to look at Yang Xiong, and said solemnly: "Brother, the two of us died here today, and we must also protect this brother's life!" He is only a blacksmith on the rivers and lakes, if he is at my brother's place, he can reach thousands of horses! ”

Although Yang Xiong didn't understand, he could see that Shi Xiu was not lying, so he immediately nodded: "That's it!" But with Yang's breath here, he will never be asked to lose a hair! ”

Tang Long was also stunned when he heard it, scratched his head blankly, and more than ten stems of hair fell in his hands.

He has been depressed for half his life, he has never been so valued, and for a while he had mixed feelings, the two eyes of the two merchants blinked, and they actually shed tears, and sobbed: "Forgive my little brother for being a mediocre person, how can he be worthy of such a generous look at my brother!" ”

Shi Xiu patted his arm and said: "Brother, don't be presumptuous, it is not easy for a thousand miles to meet a famous general, if you meet a farmer, you can only plough the field and pull a cart." Brother Tang is a maxima, my eldest brother Wu, is a world-famous general! ”

Tang Long held back his tears and nodded again and again, although he and Lao Cao were still unknown, they had the idea of dying for him.

Later generations have a poem, and the single-title Shi Xiu collects a section of Tang Long, and there is a way that is-

Pride is long, and righteousness is light on gold.

The sound price spreads the lake and the sea, and the wind is full of green forests.

The man admires the same way, and the piano and sword are noble.

Before the public face is revealed, it has taken effect.

Yang Xiong saw that Shi Xiu was recruiting talents for Lao Cao, and spared no effort, and couldn't help but secretly admire: when he saw "Wu Mengde" in the past, he also felt that he was proud and beautiful, and now when he saw Shi Xiu's situation, he knew that "Wu Mengde" was extravagant, I am afraid that it is still above my expectations, otherwise he would be such a good man, how could he be so desperate?

For a while, the heart of meritorious service became more and more intense, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Tang don't flow cat urine first, how did you attack this thunderbolt?" ”

Tang Long came back to his senses and explained: "Brother Rongyu, the grain and grass of the Liao army are all stored on that side, about a mile away from us, and two thousand of the three thousand troops stationed in the rear camp are guarding there!" If I use swords and soldiers to break through, I can't wait for three people and six hands, and when I fight, how much food can I burn him? That's why we made this multi-tip cannon! ”

He patted his masterpiece and said confidently: "Like this cannon, a half-kilogram stone, ten pieces can be fired at a time, and it can hit a mile away, and wait for the younger brother to find some sulfur to make a fire bomb, hit him a few cannons, and the fire will become its own." ”

Yang Xiongxi said: "If this is the case, the virtuous brother should take the first credit!" There is no need to look elsewhere, the two of us have brought our own sulfur flame nitre. ”

Tang Long took a look, they were all of good texture, and immediately started to cut the bamboo into strips, weave them into balls, stuff them with straw, and then put sulfur and other things, Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu also started to help, and made more than 100 in an instant, first took ten of them, and put them in their leather pockets one by one-

It turned out that he made the cannon, and its strength arm was divided into two ends, the long end was topped, and the long wood was nailed horizontally, and ten leather pockets were tied in a row, and a few belts were tied at the short end.

This kind of cannon, also known as hand artillery, can be launched by two or three people, because it cannot hit heavy objects, so it is difficult to use it to attack the city, and can only kill and wound stragglers in front of the two armies. However, the firebomb that Tang Long wanted to fight was not heavy, and it was a self-operated artillery, so it didn't need to go far, but it happened to be used.

At that moment, Tang Long adjusted the direction of the cannon, rushed to the direction of the grain and grass, asked Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu to pull the belt, and instructed: "The two elder brothers, the younger brothers, but say the word 'pull', and they will pull with all their strength!" ”

Seeing that the two of them nodded, he used fire tongs to burn red in the stove, and lightly touched the ten fire bombs in turn, and immediately ignited the straw, emitting green smoke, and said urgently: "Pull!" ”

Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu were already ready to go, listening to him shout, even if he had the strength to, he pulled the belt desperately, the lever slammed loudly, and the long one suddenly went up, and the fire bomb in the leather pocket flew into the sky by virtue of inertia, and it flew into the sky in a flickering manner.

Tang Long saw that his head was roughly correct, and hurriedly called him: "Put down, put down, while he doesn't notice me, how many cannons can he hit!" ”

Several people quickly loaded the bullets, ignited them in the same way, and shouted "pull" again, and ten more fire bombs were issued.

These fireballs ignited the straw, flew in the air, and were urged by the wind, which immediately triggered the middle sulfur, and turned into fireballs, one after another, fluttering and falling towards the place where the grain and grass were piled up, although some were inevitably far away, and some were close, but at least half of them were smashed on the grain and grass pile.

When the fourth cannon of Tanglong was issued, there were many tents, and it could not hide the light of the blazing fire over there.

The Liao soldiers woke up in their sleep and exclaimed: "It's on fire, it's on fire, it's on fire in the sky!" ”

A few clever ones hurriedly went to the rescue, but more stupid Liao soldiers knelt straight to the ground and bowed to the dark sky, thinking that this "fire rain" was a sign of heavenly anger.

After a while, the fire became more and more intense, and the people in the rear camp were all awakened, running around and screaming, and suddenly the rear camp was in chaos.

The three took advantage of the opportunity to fire the cannons, but no one cared about them, and let them shoot all the fire bombs that had been prepared.

Tang Long was still not satisfied, so he took a lot of large and small pieces of iron, burned them dark red in the stove, and put them in his leather pocket, and issued three or four cannons in a row, until the leather pocket was hot, and then he stopped.

These pieces of iron, the power is stronger than the fire bomb, because the body is very small, and there is no open flame, it is not easy to find when it falls on the grain and grass, unconsciously, and out of thin air, there are many fires, and some of them are smashed on people's heads, even the heads are smashed, so frightened that the Liao soldiers shouted again and again: "Amazing, just after the fire, the iron began to get off again." ”

Yelu Zonglin was on duty tonight, heard the chaos in the back camp, thought that the camp was roaring, and was so frightened that he hurriedly ordered troops to come over and suppress it, and before he arrived, he suddenly saw the fire raging, and he was so frightened that he rushed like crazy, and saw the scene of those Liao soldiers kneeling and worshipping, and his nose was crooked, and he scolded: "Are you all blind?" What is under the fire and iron, it is clearly from the catapult......"

It's just that the Song and Liao have been peaceful for a long time, although the Liao State and the Jin State have been fighting endlessly, they rarely climb the technology tree, so except for the children of the family such as Yelu Zonglin, most of the soldiers have never seen the catapult power, and they naturally can't imagine it for a while.

Yelu Zonglin is well-informed, and he said in his heart that my grain and grass are stored in the inner camp, and it is the Song army that dispatches catapults, where can I hit here? He looked around, pointed in the direction of Tang Long, and said, "Needless to say, the enemy is in my camp, and they all follow me to catch them and burn them alive to relieve my hatred!" ”

After saying that, he rushed to the horse, and the tent in front of him slashed with a knife, and the people who blocked the road rushed straight to the ground and trampled to death, and killed Shi Xiu and the others.

Tang Long's three finished the cannon, about to escape, Tang Long's iron guy all abandoned, only carried an iron melon hammer in his hand, and picked two polished iron spears to Shi Xiu Yang Xiong, three rushed outside the camp, did not run out of dozens of steps, only to hear the sonorous hooves of the horses behind, Shi Xiu's heart moved, and he shouted: "You two go first, I will come later!" ”

With a twist of footsteps, he shrank and hid beside a tent.

Yelu Zonglin's original road was to suppress the "camp roar", and it was night, and only two or three thousand infantry came, and the camp was densely covered with tents, and he drove down one mile, leaving him alone to ride in front, and the infantry behind ran chaotically, pulling into a long snake.

If it is an old man, he will not be willing to take risks alone, but Yelu Zonglin believes that the enemy is in the camp, and naturally expects that the number of the other party will never be large, he relies on his martial arts, and has no fear, first chased himself to Tang Long's temporary blacksmith shop, saw the artillery cart, knew that his guess was correct, and smashed it with a knife, and chased angrily, and after a short time, he saw Yang Xiong and Tang Long's backs, and shouted: "Shameless rats, dare to burn my grain and grass, and leave your life!" ”

Yang Xiong heard it, how could his heart and his legs run through his four legs? Thinking of Shi Xiu's entrustment, he pushed Tang Long suddenly: "Save your life and go to Cangzhou!" ”

He turned around, held his spear, spit out a portal, and waited for him to attack.

Yelu Zonglin glanced at this person, who was the enemy who killed his eldest brother and fourth brother, and his teeth suddenly clicked: "Ah! There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them! Damn anti-thief ......"

Before he could say anything, Tang Long turned around, snatched back in front of Yang Xiong, put up a "King Kong ringing bell" shelf, and shouted: "Live together, die together!" ”

Yelu Zonglin said ruthlessly: "A despicable villain who can only hurt people with secret arrows, what kind of hero is here!" You have a kind of plotting against me again......"

Before the words fell, Shi Xiu jumped out of the oblique thorn, raised a spear in his hand, poked Yelu Zonglin's waist, pushed him off the horse, and shouted in his mouth: "I don't dare to ask for ears!" ”

Yelu Zonglin was still struggling, Shi Xiu pulled out the spearhead, made up for it, and poked it straight into his throat, blood gushed out like money, Yelu Zonglin shook a few times unwillingly, and died helplessly.

It is implied in the book that Yelu Zonglin is a good martial artist, in the original time and space, with the five tiger generals of Liangshan, Hu Yanzhuo, the battle for a long time without breaking the prestige, but now he has not shown his skills, he was plotted, especially hateful, it is still from his own request.

Therefore, the resentment is difficult to settle, and after being reincarnated as a human in the next life, he refuses to engage in martial arts, studies hard, and finally raises people in high school, which is the famous dashing master Fang Tangjing, with a sentence "Beat me, stupid!" "Leave a name in history - this is a later story, not a table.

Alone said that Shi Xiu's old tricks were repeated, killing the Liao general with an ambush strategy, first picking up his iron broom knife, at this time the pursuers had come to the front, Shi Xiufei got on the horse, danced the knife backlash, and killed more than ten people in an instant, Yang Xiong followed his side, and also poked over seven or eight, Tang Long was unwilling to be left behind, the iron melon hammer turned like the wind, and smashed the head three.

At this time, the fire in the rear camp has spread, burning red for a long time, the people don't know why, they are running around and screaming, all out of the village to escape, these Liao soldiers are already panicked, seeing these three so brave, the more discouraged, although the number of people, no one dares to take a step forward.

Shi Xiu was waiting to escape with Yang Xiong, but at this moment, seeing the chaos in the Liao camp, the Liao soldiers were afraid, and suddenly realized: Ah! Why should I run away? Now that the situation is very good, they are clearly the ones who should escape!

Immediately shouted: "Bah! Wait for Liao Dog to listen to the truth, your master will be good at provoking the border, my Song Dynasty 500,000 soldiers and horses have been killed on all sides, you wait for a moment to escape, and you will be a ghost in another country! ”

The 500,000 soldiers and horses mentioned are still the plan of the whole gang in Liangshan!

After that, he slapped the horse, single-handedly, and killed into the Liao soldiers, and the horse hit the knife and slashed, as if entering a no-man's land!

This good killing, as evidenced by poetry, is as it says:

Desperately Saburo is in a frenzy, and the long knife is rolling cold everywhere!

With a loud shout, all the people arrived, and the blood of the half-world warriors was not cold.

A hundred battles are the first to shake the world, and thousands of armies are brave and unparalleled.

Cangzhou City is determined to live and die, and the brave are born and the cowardly die.

Yang Xiong said that he rushed to kill slightly, blocking the enemy's pursuit, and then he was going to retreat, who would have expected that this guy's courage was amazing, looking at this posture, he was going to destroy thousands of troops with his own strength!

In an instant, his eyes were about to split, and he only felt a breath of pride surging up from his lower abdomen, quickly filling his chest, and couldn't help but exhale, and shouted: "Brother Shixiu, don't kill them all, and leave half of them, and kill them with me Yang Xiong!" ”

strode forward, an iron spear opened and closed, swept horizontally, and killed the Liao soldiers like straw.

Tang Long saw the two of them powerful, his eyes widened, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "Hurry up!" Hurry up! It turns out that Lao Tzu has studied martial arts for half of his life, all for today! He shouted loudly: "Brother Shi Xiu, Brother Yang Xiong, be brothers and die together, wait for me Tang Long!" ”

After that, he rushed into the crowd, held the sledgehammer in both hands, whirred and whirred, and everywhere he passed, his bones were shattered and his soul was gone!

When the three of them let go of the slaughter, Yerod was alarmed early, and saw that the rear camp was in flames, and the people shouted that the horses were neighing, and there were enemy troops attacking the camp from behind, so he hurriedly lit up his troops and horses and went to the rear camp to rescue.

As soon as his soldiers and horses moved, the north gate of Cangzhou suddenly opened, and more than a thousand cavalry poured out first - it is not difficult to find that there are only more than 100 people who really ride horses, and the others are big mules and donkeys, and even the old cattle that plough the land are all riding out, but it is Chai Jin who waved his hand and bought the livestock of the whole city.

After the cavalry, the fire was like a dragon, and the scale was no less than tens of thousands, and the city wall was also lined with torches, not to mention tens of thousands of people guarding the wall.

Yelu turned his head to look at it again, and was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse: "Ah, it turns out that the Southern Barbarians have laid down such an army in Cangzhou, isn't it just for the purpose of calculating the king?" Come on, I have caught and cut down the few wastes that reported that there were not many soldiers and horses in the city! ”

There is a division of teaching: Heroic, who said that Guan Suo disease? The fight belongs to Yang Xiongqiang. The money leopard is majestic, and the heroes compete to worship Dalang!
