Chapter 49: The Second Tiger Guards the Mountain and Wins for the First Time
After Erhu killed Ma Jingming and avenged his unjustly killed father, the sky was already bright.
Together with his generals, he discussed the future of the rebels. Everyone was gossiping, and it was difficult to decide for a while.
Erhu sat in the coach's chair, looking calm on the surface, listening carefully to everyone's speeches, but deep down, it was like a pot of water, weighing every idea and weighing the pros and cons.
Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound of artillery outside, and one of the pieces of broken iron that erupted from the gunpowder fell onto the glazed tiles on the house, shattering the tiles......
Erhu's heart was shocked, the officers and soldiers finally attacked the mountain, and they actually used the most advanced heavy weapon of that era - long-range artillery!
The meeting had to be suspended, and the two tigers immediately ordered their generals to go to the mountain fortresses to meet the enemy with all their might. He hurriedly put on his scarlet cloak and sword, took a dozen of his own soldiers, and hurriedly rushed to the various mountain fortresses.
At this time, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed, and the golden sunlight sprinkled all over Cuiping Mountain, and the jade scales and silver armor on the vast desert grassland were extremely dazzling. On the majestic Cuiping Mountain, a pole stands tall for the apricot yellow banner of the heavenly road, hunting and fluttering......
At the foot of the mountain, the tents of the officers and soldiers were close to each other, densely surrounding the mountain for three layers. At this time, more than a dozen long-range cannons stood in front of the tent, lined up, roaring, spraying fireworks, iron and sand into the mountain......
A few more shells landed on the pine-shaded house, and the tiles burst down and the pine needles shook off one after another.
Under the cover of rapid artillery fire, officers and men rushed all over the sky. The momentum was like a tidal wave. With an earth-shattering shout, I saw a behemoth like a small mountain, which was being pushed slowly by a group of officers and soldiers to the foot of the mountain......
It turned out to be a chariot specially designed to attack mountains. It's called "Lu Bus". This kind of car is 500 feet long, the car is divided into layers, each layer hides hundreds of soldiers with submachine guns, the two wings of the car are built a ladder, and on the top floor stands a general, waving a command flag in one hand and a long sword in the other. The flag flew high beside him. Gongs and drums sounded in unison. Hundreds of ploughing oxen were strapped to the front of the cart, and thousands of soldiers were clustered behind it.
The movement of the chariot was spectacular, and the officers and men shouted and cheered. The momentum is huge...... The rebels had never seen such a formation, and they panicked for a moment and disorganized.
Erhu was also surprised at first, and he also felt very strange and funny. After all, he was just eighteen years old. There are still some immature and naughty thoughts in his heart, if he hadn't experienced so many things, not on the battlefield, not as the commander of the enemy side, he would definitely feel very fun, and participate in playing with them.
He pondered for a moment, and then he knew how to crack it. When the brothers were in a state of panic, they hurriedly drank and stopped. He said, "Do not worry, brothers, and be less alarmed. This kind of thing they got is a kind of chariot, called the Lu Gong Demon Car, and Ben Shuai has his own way to crack it. ”
When the brothers saw Erhu say this, they all steadied themselves.
Then, Erhu hurriedly ordered the soldiers to prop up two long logs, use the long wood as a pole and the short wood as a shaft, tie them with ropes, and then pull up the net ropes on the long poles and load thousands of catties of stones.
When everything was ready, the Lu bus had slowly reached the foot of the mountain. I saw the general standing on the roof of the car pointing at the sword in his hand, and shaking the command flag in his hand several times one after another, and the ironclad hidden weapon in the car immediately erupted flames and spitted fire, radiating bullets, poisoned arrows, and heavy shells......
But when he saw the bullets whistling, the sound turned into a ball of fire in an instant; poisonous arrows were densely packed like a group of peaks gathering and rushing to the top of the mountain; heavy artillery shells pierced through the walls and chiseled into the rocks, causing the rocks to fly, and the stones to the ground......
It's really a thing: the nozzle spits out the fire dragon, the rocket burns the battle flag, the sky is low and the clouds are dark for a while, the smoke of gunpowder is filled, the flames are mighty, and the blood is splashed on the mountain!
Just when the artillery fire of the officers and soldiers Nalu bus attacked, Erhu hurriedly ordered the brothers guarding the mountain to hide in the bunker behind the stone mountain and wait and see what happened. After the enemy's offensive weakened slightly, he hurriedly ordered the brothers to quickly pull up the stone pockets, turn the wooden axes, and aim at the Lu bus.
The second tiger shouted: "Release!"
I saw that one by one, the brothers of the righteous army, who were alive and vigorous, quickly pulled the rope and turned the pole, and suddenly let go, and the thousands of catties of stones rumbled, like thunderbolts, pouring down-
Immediately, like a river bursting the embankment, an avalanche of the Tianshan Mountains, the heavy stones, no matter how big or small, all smashed into the Lu bus, smashing the generals who stood on the top of the car with their toes on their toes and commanded the soldiers into meat sauce. One of the huge stones rolled down with a loud bang, smashing through several layers of car covers, and the ironclad soldiers hiding under the car covers had nowhere to hide, and they were all smashed to the ground......
There were also a lot of stones that flew down on the ploughing oxen leading the cart, and the herd of cattle was smashed, frightened, and ran desperately in all directions, but they were firmly entangled by the cable in front of the cart, which made the Lu Gong chariot more and more immobile.
Erhu saw it clearly, and hurriedly took advantage of this opportunity to order the brothers to put down a bag of boulders and smash Lu Gong's chariot to pieces. The officers and soldiers who followed the car to the bottom of the mountain lost their cover, panicked one by one, and ran away with their heads in their hands......
At this time, Erhu, Hong Xuefei, Zhao Dahu, Wang Lianhua and other leaders of the rebel army hurriedly led snipers and archers to drop the overwhelming bullets and sharp arrows from the mountain, and immediately shot the officers and soldiers who attacked the foot of the mountain to the back of their horses, and the ghosts cried wolf......
The two tigers and the big tigers are both archers, and in order to save bullets and not use guns, they picked up bows and arrows and shot the enemy fiercely down the mountain.
Xinghua also came from the back mountain, picked up a bow and arrow, and participated in the battle, shooting the enemy. She has learned archery with her husband, and her archery kung fu is also extraordinary.
At this time, there were countless dead and wounded on the side of the officers and soldiers, and they were piled up at the foot of the mountain. The patches of bright red blood stained the green grass at the foot of the mountain.
Xiao Jianxia, supported by two personal soldiers, didn't know when he came to the front of the battle and watched the battle, with a smile on his face......
After the attack of the officers and soldiers was repulsed, there was a temporary calm on the battlefield.
However, the second tiger did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately seized this short gap, strode on the top of the mountain, and hurriedly ordered the brothers to hurry up and repair the fortress on the hill that had been damaged by the enemy's artillery fire......
About the hour of a meal, there was an earth-shattering sound of gongs and drums at the foot of the mountain, and Erhu led all the generals to take a look, only to see that there was a large group of officers and soldiers and generals, and a court official was pointing fingers, as if he was talking.
Not long after, the meteor scouts of the officers and men were holding the command flag in their hands and galloping at the foot of the mountain; the guerrilla generals transferred troops and dispatched generals to reorganize the army. After a moment of silence, a loud boom was heard, and the long-range cannons poured out a storm of gunpowder and iron...... (To be continued......)
