Chapter 118: Grenades

Early the next morning.

Liu Fang's mansion, Liu Fang's eldest son Liu Qingshu hurriedly came to the door where his father was sleeping, and just stretched out his hand to knock on the door in a hurry, but he still stopped his hand, but said in an urgent tone: "Dad, something is wrong!" ”

After a while, Liu Fang's voice came from insideβ€”occasionally a woman's yawning voice (this is Liu Fang's concubine)β€”"What's going on?" Babble! Liu Fang said.

"Yes, Dad," Liu Qingshu, who was taught a lesson by Lao Tzu, responded and then said eagerly:

"Dad, it's really a big deal, Xu Qiushan, Liang Hong and their families were all transferred to their glass workshop last night, and Du Yu, the commander of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, has also stationed 3,000 people in the glass workshop,β€”β€” obviously, they have already sensed that we are going to deal with them, and they have prepared in advance!

Dad, this is obviously our family has their inner ghost! ”

Liu Fang was asking the concubine to dress herself at this time, listening to the words of her son outside, and after listening to her son's words, the concubine was about to button Liu Fang's outer coat, and Liu Fang was obviously impatient at this time, and pushed the concubine away: "Get up!" He unscrewed the door and walked out of the room.

As soon as he came out, he asked his son, "This, how can this get out?" He thought for a moment, and immediately shouted: "It's not good, the servant who gave us lotus seed soup last night......"

Liu Qingshu hurriedly said: "The child also thought of this festival before, that person must be Xu Qiushan's eyeliner, the child has already asked people to arrest,β€”β€” but these don't matter for the time being, Dad, our top priority is to break through the glass factory as soon as possible!" ”

Liu Fang squinted at this time and said disdainfully: "It's just a large-scale workshop, they think they can be safe if they run there?" Hmph, idiot dreams! ”

Liu Qingshu hurriedly said: "Dad, since they have withdrawn, there must be some famous names in the workshop, Dad, we will break through the glass factory in one day at most today, otherwise, there are still more than 20,000 soldiers in Shi Mao of Weihui Mansion, if they arrive,β€”β€” since Xu Qiushan can escape to the glass factory overnight, it means that they have already sent a letter to Shi Mao, the counselor of Weihui Mansion." ”

"This is really worth paying attention to," Liu Fang said, "Although there are only more than 20,000 soldiers in Weihui Mansion, although we are not afraid, we can't be careless, we must take the glass factory one day today!" At that time, the reinforcements of Weihui Mansion will be ignored! ”

……

"Kill!"

"Kill!!"

A group of soldiers carried siege ladders to the wall of the glass factory,β€”β€” because the wall of the glass factory was naturally not as high as the city wall, so many engineering ladders were erected at once.

Then more soldiers stormed the glass factory.

However, on the walls of the glass workshop, there were already preparations, and the gold juice and rolling stones kept beckoning to the people who were climbing on the siege ladder.

"It's been two hours, why haven't you attacked yet, what are the soldiers you are leading to eat!"

On the periphery of the battle from the glass workshop, under a tea shed, Liu Qingshu was sitting in the tea shed, looking in the direction of the battlefield, and saw that the soldiers besieging the city kept rushing towards the wall of the workshop, but they were constantly being repelled by the people on the city wall.

It's been two hours, I didn't expect that their side, which has 50,000 soldiers, can't take down the other party's guards with only a few thousand people, how can this make Liu Qingshu feel happy?

Facing Liu Qingshu's merciless questioning, there was a middle-aged general standing opposite Liu Qingshu, this person was wearing armor, and this person was Miao Kui, the new Kaifeng chief soldier who had taken refuge in Liu Fang.

This Miao Kui was asked like this, and he also felt very wronged, and immediately hugged and said: "Xiao Ge Lao, it's not that the last general is not effective in attacking the city wall, but, hey, the area here is too narrow, and the soldiers can't give full play to the numerical advantage when attacking the city wall;

Moreover, the last general is the newly transferred Kaifeng general army, the soldiers and horses of Kaifeng Town, because they have lived inland for a long time, have never fought any battles at all, which makes them fight in such a hurry, then their combat power will not be too high. ”

Liu Qingshu listened to the other party's words, although what Miao Kui said sounded a little reasonable, but it was difficult to do anything, what was not difficult? Besides, this requires the battlefield to be open in order to give full play to the advantage of the number of soldiers, how can this be open?

If they tear down all the nearby houses and organize them into an open area, they can't afford to waste time, they only have one day to capture the glass factory, and tomorrow they will definitely have reinforcements from the other side; It took a lot of time to clear a relatively open battlefield, which was simply impossible, and there was no time to do this, so when would it have to be cleaned up.

"Whew...... Whew......"

Liu Qingshu gasped, but he wanted to get angry again, but he also knew that he was really scolding the other party angrily, and it was not appropriate, don't push the other party to be in a hurry, and if he turns against him again, it will be a big joke.

So Liu Qingshu just said heavily: "However, the current offensive is not enough, we must increase the offensive again, Mr. Miao, what do you think?" ”

Miao Kui thought for a while and said, "This ...... This, if you increase the number of people, I am afraid that it will be too crowded......" As soon as he said this, he saw Liu Qingshu's face as black as the bottom of the pot, obviously the other party was already angry, Miao Kui finally stomped his foot, and said: "Okay, then increase the strength of the attack wall!" ”

With that, he turned around and went to convey his military orders to his men.

And the fact is as Miao Kui expected, this force is increasing, but the effect of the siege is even worse, there are many people, and they finally climb the wall of the field, and they are even squeezed down by their own people, so they attack and fight like this, and it lasts until noon, Miao Kui realizes that this tactic is not good, Xiaoge is a scholar after all, and he doesn't know soldiers!

So Miao Kui was about to give another order to withdraw part of the number, however, just as he was about to give the order, suddenly, there was a "boom" explosion, and in his team attacking the field wall, along with the first, then second, and third explosions, the sound of explosions sounded in the crowd.

Then Miao Kui saw that his subordinates, the groups of dense soldiers, instantly fled outside like a fryer, and even shouted in a hurry:

"Demon law, they will demon law!"

"The gods are angry! Run! ~”

Subsequently, just when Miao Kui personally watched these subordinate soldiers of his own, there was a big stampede, and I don't know how many people were trampled to death and seriously injured.

"Thief, what the hell is going on?" Miao Kui was furious and scolded: "These idiots!! - What the hell is going on with those explosions? ”

"Roar!! ~~~”

On the wall of the glass workshop, many guards cheered one after another, and Du Yu, the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division who was hit by many bows and arrows on his armor, walked to Liang Hong's side on the field wall at this time, and saluted Liang Hong with a fist:

"Your Excellency, this is called ...... The grenade is really a sharp weapon for war, his grandmother, this Liu thief's soldiers and horses are enough for them to drink a pot! ”

The grenade that Miao Kui is talking about is just a simple version of the "grenade" made by the local method.

Liang Hong had already done some of it, and it was specially stored in the glass workshop, and in the same way, not only his seventh uncle Liang Yuan was worried that the Yanjing incident would happen again in Kaifeng City, but Liang Hong also wanted to prepare early and be prepared.

However, the native grenade made by Liang Hong needs explosives and granules, and Liang Hong also started to be busy with these things a few days ago, after all, he was newly appointed as the left waiter of the military department, and he had to be familiar with the new yamen and official business, so he didn't have so much time in the glass factory, and besides, he didn't think of making this native grenade for a while.

It's also recently that I have come up with the idea of making some native grenades in case of emergency.

So he made relatively little, and he thought he had plenty of time to make it again, but he only made 200 grenades.

This native grenade, the outer shell is made of porcelain.

Hearing Miao Kui say this excitedly, Liang Hong sighed: "It's just that we still have too few grenades, so we can only save them," and then Liang Hong looked at the arrows on Miao Kui's armor and said, "There are so many arrows, are you okay?" ”

Miao Kui immediately smiled and said: "Our armor, fish scale armor, is very strong, these arrows are shot with soft bows, and when shot on the body, they can't penetrate the armor at all, please rest assured!" ”

After that, he also sighed: "Yes, if there were more grenades, we would have fewer casualties on our side," Speaking of this, he suddenly laughed, and then pointed to the enemy soldiers who were still crowding and stampling outside, and said with a smile:

"But look at them like this, the power caused by this grenade is enough, look at these kings, bastards, scared, hahahaha, it's fun to watch!"

The people on Liang Hong's side of the field wall were all jubilant and their morale was shaken, while Liu Fang's party below, whether from the soldiers to the commanders, was gloomy.

At ten o'clock at noon, the soldiers under Miao Kui's command finally gathered again, and those who were seriously injured by the trampling were only a few thousand people, but although it was not too much among 50,000 people, it made their morale very low.

At this time, the soldiers under his command were regrouped, and it was time for lunch.

While the soldiers were eating lunch, in a large mansion nearby, Liu Fang, Liu Qingshu, and Miao Kui faced the delicious food on the table, but they didn't want to eat it, and they all frowned.

Liu Fang sighed first, and then said: "In this way, eat first, eat first, and then attack in the afternoon, and be sure to attack in the afternoon;

Of course, if we really can't attack it, we won't really reach the Jedi, after all, the enemy's reinforcements are only a little more than 20,000 people, and our numbers still have an advantage. ”

Liu Qingshu also sighed at this time, and was about to pick up vegetables, but suddenly he seemed to think of something, and immediately asked Liu Fang with a look of hope:

"By the way, Dad, I suddenly thought of something, didn't Liang Hong make a trebuchet? Did he give the manufacturing method to the Ministry of Works? ”

Liu Fang shook his head: "Then Liang Hong is a ghost......
