Chapter 362: The person who came was surnamed Bai

The next day, in the morning.

Qiachuan Wharf.

In the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, the soap warbler ran back along the west bank of the Yellow River, and while running, they roared sharply: "Wang Jiayin's army is here!"

Her shout suddenly roared the quiet Qiachuan Wharf into a lively one.

The militia group, which had been waiting on the dock for a day, immediately became nervous, and everyone swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

The white kite stood on a makeshift arrow tower and shouted to the soap warbler below, "How long will it take?" ”

Soapwarbler: "The speed of the fleet is no slower than that of the horses, and when we reach the front foot, they will also arrive on the back foot." ”

White Kite: "How many people came?"

Soapwarbler shook her head: "I don't know how to judge the number of people by the size of the fleet, I don't have experience in this area. If the other person is riding a horse, I can sweep out as many rides as I can at a glance. ”

The white kite nodded: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Soapwarb: "My men can dismount and assist you in guarding the docks." ”

The white kite shook his head and said with a smile: "The precious cavalry can't be used like this, soap tuanlian, you lead the cavalry team to retreat one mile, if our wooden wall is breached, you will lead the cavalry team to rush up and clean them up." ”

Soapwarbler: "Alright!

She also knew that it was not easy for Gaojia Village to train these hundreds of cavalry, those recruits learned to ride horses almost from scratch, and they suffered from an infantry to a crappy cavalry, and it would be a bit of a waste to let them dismount and guard the dock.

It's better to back out of the way, it's better as a second line of insurance.

"Mr. Bai, be careful.

The Soap Oriole retreated a mile to the northwest, leaving a distance for the cavalry to charge over.

The white kite turned its head to look at the river to the north.....

It's not far away!

He reached into his arms and pulled out a long, thin iron cylinder.

This is Bai Gongzi's gift to his father's treasure, the name is "telescope", it is something invented by Bai Gongzi after the physics class (free coin learning), asked the blacksmith in the craftsman to build the iron cylinder, and then asked a glass maker who was abducted from Xi'an by Xing Hongwolf to make two lenses, and finally put them together to become this simple "telescope".

The workmanship is still very crude, and the multiplier is not high.

But it's certainly farther than the naked eye.

The white kite picked up the binoculars and looked at it again, hey, now I saw a huge fleet of boats, already poking its head out of the river in the north, led by several medium-sized merchant ships, followed by a large number of small fishing boats.

The smallest one is a flat boat, and the larger one can only hold a few dozen people.

A large area of the river occupies a large area.

The Yellow River is turbulent, and it is not easy to operate a boat here, but there are many fishermen who have begged for a lifetime on the edge of the Yellow River, and these people support the boat, which also allows this fleet to walk on the ground in the Yellow River.

On the ship at the head, a large flag was lit with the word "white" written on it.

The white kite turned around and smiled at Wang Er, who was standing beside him, and said, "Second Brother Wang, it seems that the person who led the fleet to attack us is you, and that is the white flag of the second king of Baishui." ”

Wang Er: "My surname is Wang, and my flag is the word king." ”

White Kite: "Oh, that's your white cat, he's leading the enemy to attack us." ”

Wang Er: "The white cat is downstairs from us, wearing a yellow hat. ”

Seeing that Wang Er couldn't keep up with his jokes, Bai Kite had no choice but to spread his hands: "Wang Haohan, you lack a sense of humor."

Wang Er couldn't laugh or cry, well, he did lack a sense of humor, and he hadn't laughed a few times over the years.

On the other arrow tower, Feng Jun also stretched his neck to look at the river, but he didn't have a telescope, so he couldn't see clearly as the white kite, and he couldn't see the flag above when he saw the shadow of the boat, so he had to turn his head and shouted at the arrow tower of the white kite:

"Mr. Bai, do you see which thief is coming?"

White Kite: "I only saw a white flag, it seems that I attacked myself." ”

Feng Jun laughed: "Mr. Bai is still in the mood to tell jokes at this time, which makes the official feel a lot more at ease." ”

The white kite turned his head and said to Wang Er in a low voice: "Look, everyone else can understand my jokes. ”

Feng Jun said loudly: "Since it is a white-character flag, the person who came should be the general under Wang Jiayin, Bai Yuzhu." ”

White Kite: "Oh? I haven't heard of it. ”

Wang Er said in a low voice: "Bai Yuzhu is a very mediocre guy, his ability is not outstanding, he is not powerful, but he is not stupid either, his status in Wang Jiayin's army is second only to Zijin Liang, although his position is very high, but he often makes people feel that he is present, and he is a person who is easily forgotten when thrown into the crowd." ”

When the white kite heard this, he snorted and said: "The same surname is Bai, he is easy to be forgotten, but he is shining brightly, he is really a shame for our people surnamed Bai." ”

Wang Er: "His surname is not Bai, Bai Yuzhu is just a nickname."

White Kite: "......

There was an eerie silence that lasted for five seconds.

The white kite spread his five fingers, palms to the sky, and said to Wang Er: "You came back to Gaojia Village this time specifically to complain."

Wang Er: "??? ”

Feng Jun said loudly: "Mr. Bai, what are you still talking about on the arrow tower?" The fleet of rogue ships came so quickly, and they were quick to figure out a way.

The white kite perked: "Okay! Don't move, everyone, stand in the pre-arranged position, Gao family villagers, come with me. ”

He quickly climbed down from the arrow tower, and the militia of Gaojia Village surrounded him.

The white kite took the hundred people from Gaojia Village to the front of the two stainless steel cannons.

The two cannons had already been fixed with stone platforms, and the muzzles of the cannons pointed obliquely at the Yellow River, and on the river, Bai Yuzhu's fleet was speeding up.

White Kite: "Bring the gunpowder pack!"

The Bunny handed him a large bag of gunpowder with both hands.

As if loading a gunshot, the white kite poured a large bag of gunpowder into the chamber of the cannon, then took out the stick prepared in advance, poked it into the mouth, and poked it into it to compact the gunpowder.

"Bring the shells!

A tall and stout militia soldier next to him handed over a cannonball with both hands.

As soon as the white kite stretched out his hand to catch it, the whole person sank downward, and the cannonball fell to the ground, making a loud "peng" sound, almost hitting his foot.

The white kite's face changed color: "So heavy? ”

"A big solid iron ball, can it not be heavy?" Wang Er bent down, picked up the cannonball with both hands, and helped the white kite stuff it into the barrel.

The white kite poked it in with a stick, and rolled the cannonball to the bottom, compacting it with gunpowder.

With a laugh, he went around behind the cannon, lifted the small lid on the fire door, put a fire rope into the fire door, put it together with the gunpowder, and then covered the lid back and covered it.

"That's it!" The white kite said triumphantly: "This is how the cannon should be used, and it is no different from the firecracker." ”

His comical operation is really right!

These two Hongyi cannons are exactly the same as the large-caliber smoothbore guns of the Ming Dynasty, and the method of use is the same.
